Virginia : The legal drinking age is 18 for beer and wine , and 21 for liquor . Minimum legal drinking age as of 1983 ( one year before the Drinking Age Act of 1984 was passed ) : Minimum age is 21 Minimum age is 20 Minimum age is 19 and 21 Minimum age is 19 Minimum age is 18 and 21 Minimum age is 18 The alcohol laws of the United States regarding minimum age for purchase have changed over time . The history is given in the table below . Unless otherwise noted , if different alcohol categories have different minimum purchase ages , the age listed below is set at the lowest age given ( e.g. if the purchase age is 18 for beer and 21 for wine or spirits , as was the case in several states , the age in the table will read as `` 18 '' , not `` 21 '' ) . In addition , the purchase age is not necessarily the same as the minimum age for consumption of alcoholic beverages , although they have often been the same . As one can see in the table below , there has been much volatility in the states ' drinking ages since the repeal of Prohibition in 1933 . Shortly after the ratification of the 21st amendment in December , most states set their purchase ages at 21 since that was the Voting age at the time . Most of these limits remained constant until the early 1970s . From 1969 to 1976 , some 30 states lowered their purchase ages , generally to 18 . This was primarily because the voting age was lowered from 21 to 18 in 1971 with the 26th amendment . A lot of states started to lower their minimum drinking age in response , most of this occurring in 1972 or 1973 . Twelve states kept their purchase ages at 21 since repeal of Prohibition and never changed them . From 1976 to 1983 , several states voluntarily raised their purchase ages to 19 ( or , less commonly , 20 or 21 ) , in part to combat drunk driving fatalities . In 1984 , Congress passed the National Minimum Drinking Age Act , which required states to raise their ages for purchase and public possession to 21 by October 1986 or lose 10 % of their federal highway funds . By mid-1988 , all 50 states and the District of Columbia had raised their purchase ages to 21 ( but not Puerto Rico , Guam , or the Virgin Islands , see Additional Notes below ) . South Dakota and Wyoming were the final two states to comply with the age 21 mandate . The current drinking age of 21 remains a point of contention among many Americans , because of it being higher than the age of majority ( 18 in most states ) and higher than the drinking ages of most other countries . The National Minimum Drinking Age Act is also seen as a congressional sidestep of the tenth amendment . Although debates have not been highly publicized , a few states have proposed legislation to lower their drinking age , while Guam has raised its drinking age to 21 in July 2010 .

That is because the federal law is concerned only with purchase and public possession , not private consumption , and contains several exceptions . As of January 1 , 2007 , 14 states and the District of Columbia ban underage consumption outright , 19 states do not specifically ban underage consumption outright , and 17 states have family member or location exceptions to their underage consumption laws . Federal law explicitly provides for religious , medical , employment and private club possession exceptions ; as of 2005 , 31 states have family member or location exceptions to their underage possession laws . In the 1960s the age for buying or drinking beer and wine in the District of Columbia ( Washington , D.C. ) was 18 ; the age for hard liquor was 21 . Residents from Virginia and Maryland would often drive to D.C. to obtain alcohol . In Louisiana , the 1987 law raising the age from 18 to 21 was deliberately written solely to comply with the National Minimum Drinking Age Act of 1984 to avoid losing highway funding , while still allowing 18 - to 20 - year - olds to drink as before . Not only did it still allow 18 - to 20 - year - olds to consume in private , it contained a major loophole allowing bars and stores to sell alcohol to 18 - to 20 - year - olds without penalty ( despite purchase being technically illegal ) which meant that the de facto age was still 18 . In other words , the drinking age was 21 only on paper . This loophole was closed in 1995 , but in 1996 the Louisiana Supreme Court declared a drinking age of 21 unconstitutional . That briefly lowered the de jure purchase age to 18 , causing an uproar which prompted the Louisiana Supreme Court to reverse its decision , raising the age to 21 three months later . Other exceptions still remain to this day , including drinking in a private residence , and Louisiana still has some of the most liberal general alcohol laws of any state . Some states were `` dry '' well before national Prohibition was enacted in 1919 , in some cases since achieving statehood . Also , some states did not become fully `` wet '' until several years after the repeal of Prohibition in 1933 ( e.g. Mississippi in 1966 ) . Since 1966 , all states and territories of the USA have been `` wet '' , but dry counties and towns still exist in some states .

It is a continuation of the descending aorta and contained in the posterior mediastinal cavity . The descending thoracic aorta begins at the lower border of the fourth thoracic vertebra where it is continuous with the aortic arch , and ends in front of the lower border of the twelfth thoracic vertebra , at the aortic hiatus in the diaphragm where it becomes the abdominal aorta . At its commencement , it is situated on the left of the vertebral column ; it approaches the median line as it descends ; and , at its termination , lies directly in front of the column . The descending thoracic aorta has a curved shape that faces forward , and has small branches . It has a radius of approximately 1.16 cm . Contents 1 Structure 2 Function 3 Clinical significance 4 Additional images 5 References 6 External links Structure ( edit ) Main article : Aorta The descending thoracic aorta is part of the aorta , which has different parts named according to their structure or location . The descending thoracic aorta is a continuation of the descending aorta and becomes the abdominal aorta when it passes through the diaphragm . The initial part of the aorta , the ascending aorta , rises out of the left ventricle , from which it is separated by the aortic valve . The two coronary arteries of the heart arise from the aortic root , just above the cusps of the aortic valve . The aorta then arches back over the right pulmonary artery . Three vessels come out of the aortic arch : the brachiocephalic artery , the left common carotid artery , and the left subclavian artery . These vessels supply blood to the head , neck , thorax and upper limbs . Behind the descending thoracic aorta is the vertebral column and the hemiazygos vein . To the right is the azygos veins and thoracic duct , and to the left is the left pleura and lung . In front of the descending thoracic aorta lies the root of the left lung , the pericardium , the esophagus , and the diaphragm . The esophagus , which is covered by a nerve plexus lies to the right of the descending thoracic aorta . Lower , the esophagus passes in front of the aorta , and ultimately is situated on the left . Function ( edit ) The aorta is an artery that conveys oxygenated blood from the heart to other parts of the body . It is one of the largest arteries in the body . The aorta gives off several paired branches as it descends . In descending order , these include the Bronchial arteries Mediastinal arteries Esophageal arteries Pericardial arteries Superior phrenic arteries Note : The posterior intercostal arteries are branches that originate throughout the length of the posterior aspect of the descending thoracic aorta .

It was the first iteration of the fourth and last generation of this Australian - made model . Its range included the luxury variants , Holden Berlina ( VE ) and Holden Calais ( VE ) ; utility models were included as the Holden Ute ( VE ) . As opposed to the VZ and all models previous which used Opel - sourced platforms adapted both mechanically and in size for the local market , the whole - new VE programme is the first Commodore to be developed exclusively by Holden in Australia . Despite its status as an all - new model , engines -- comprising the 3.6 - litre V6 and more powerful 6.0 - litre V8 -- have been largely carried over from the VZ series . Innovative features to help minimise export redevelopment costs , such as a symmetrical centre console housing a flush - fitting hand brake lever , facilitate the conversion to left - hand drive . Internationally , the VE was badge engineered as the Chevrolet Lumina , Chevrolet Omega and Pontiac G8 . Holden implemented a staged roll - out of the VE variants , releasing the sedan first in July 2006 . Prior to this , Holden stated they would manufacture two parallel generations of Commodores until the new station wagon and utility body styles were launched . Variants by Holden 's performance vehicle partner , Holden Special Vehicles ( HSV ) , were released soon after the sedan 's debut alongside the long - wheelbase WM Statesman / Caprice models . The VE Ute did not enter production until 2007 when it was accompanied by the previewing of a Sportwagon concept . The Sportwagon itself was subsequently introduced in July 2008 with the standard Commodore wheelbase instead of the extended wheelbase of previous Commodore wagons . Updates to the VE have come in the form of model year ( MY ) changes from early 2007 onwards . Typically subtle in nature , these recurring changes have involved alterations to colours and trim , increased standard equipment , and a reduction in fuel consumption . More noteworthy adjustments have come in the form of a smaller 3.0 - litre V6 engine for entry - level versions and `` Series II '' styling revisions in late 2010 .

Three days later , Holden publicly revealed the car at the Melbourne Convention Centre , broadcast simultaneously via the Internet . The launch occurred alongside that of the flagship WM Statesman / Caprice . Previous to this , Holden announced that VE station wagon and utility variants would be postponed and the VZ equivalents would remain in production . Sales of the VE Ute commenced on 22 August 2007 . This was shortly followed by the unveiling of a Sportwagon concept , the production version of which was released in July 2008 . Sedan ( edit ) Holden 's designers and engineers began laying down the basics of a clean - sheet Commodore sedan in 1999 . In the seven years of development , the car came to be Holden 's largest and most expensive project , representing an expenditure exceeding A $ 1 billion and 3.4 million kilometres ( 2.1 million miles ) of testing . In 1999 Peter Hughes , Holden 's manager of exterior design , produced a two - dimensional image of a sketch drawn earlier by Michael Simcoe , Holden 's design director at the time . Known in house as the `` Bill of Design '' , the sketch formed the design basis for the production - ready car . Various elements of the sketch were changed , including the rear tail lamps , the low - profile side window cluster and the drawn out wheelbase , but the aggressive stance remained . Early 1999 design sketch by Peter Hughes formed the basis for VE Commodore sedan profile . In 2004 , just two years before the release of the VE Commodore , Holden unveiled the Torana TT36 concept car at the Australian International Motor Show in Sydney . The TT36 served as a preview of the VE and allowed Holden to gauge public reaction to its styling . Much of the Torana 's styling drew on the essence of the VE 's design . Some production - ready components even carried over from the TT36 including the steering wheel , the window and rear - view mirror switch cluster and the handbrake lever . Shortly after stylists penned the first design sketches , Holden engineers began work on developing the chassis . Opel , which had provided the basis for all previous Commodore generations , ceased production of their rear - wheel drive Omega in 2003 . This meant that Holden had two options : to use another GM platform , or to develop an all - new vehicle . GM 's new premium rear - wheel drive Sigma platform was to see production in the 2002 Cadillac CTS . Holden 's engineers were offered this platform , but decided it was not appropriate . The Sigma platform 's double A-arm front suspension and extensive use of aluminium were too costly for the VE 's market segment . The luggage compartment was deemed too small and the Sigma interior package could not be stretched sufficiently to become a family - sized car . In particular , the rear - seat shoulder width was too tight . These major drawbacks made Holden decide to develop an all - new platform , known as the GM Zeta platform , on which a number of forthcoming GM vehicles will also be based . The Zeta suspension system comprises new double - pivot MacPherson strut for the front and a four - link independent rear setup . These replace the previous simple MacPherson strut design front and much criticised semi-trailing arm rear suspension , for improved ride and handling . Denny Mooney was appointed chairman of Holden on 1 January 2004 , by which time development of the VE Commodore was well underway . Key design and engineering work was being finalised , and investment was already being made in making the tooling with which to manufacture the car . One of Mooney 's priorities was to improve the perceived quality issues that surrounded the previous generations of Commodores . The interior quality benefited dramatically from this additional emphasis ; Mooney pushed for panel gaps to be reduced by a further 0.5 millimetres ( 0.020 in ) over previous targets . Smaller panel gaps are just one of the ways that Holden have developed the VE to pitch it against the European competitors . Through the use of advanced steels and intensive design , the body structure is 50 percent stiffer than the outgoing model , benefiting from noise and vibration reductions , handling and crash safety . However the new body has resulted in substantially increased weight over the outgoing model . The development of the new car led Holden to redesign the Elizabeth plant in South Australia so that entire sections of the car can be assembled off the foremost production line . This new production method allows for complete sub-sections like the engine and transmissions to be constructed seamlessly together on rigs that simplify production . This process is applied to the front - end module of the VE Commodore , consisting of the headlights , bumpers , airbag sensors and other accessory components . It can be easily removed as one - piece leading to lower repair costs and easier access to the engine bay . This design represents the first time such a method has been used within GM , and garnered the SAE Australasia 's 2006 Automotive Engineering Excellence Award . A modular design structure known within Holden as `` Flex Vision '' has been applied to the interior where fundamentally different components such as audio units and instrument clusters can be swapped out for the different Commodore variants , creating radically varied interior look and feel without much higher costs . The upshot of this is much greater differentiation between the variants than the outgoing model creating three distinct interior looks , dubbed : Functional , Performance and Luxury . The closely related long - wheelbase WM Statesman / Caprice derivatives feature a fourth interior type referred to as Prestige . Additional detail touches were added to the VE , such as a new four - strut hinge system for the boot to replace space intrusive , much maligned `` gooseneck '' hinges as used on previous Commodores . High - specification variants see expandable door pockets and a Saab - like `` blackout '' feature which illuminates only the speedometer at night to enhance driver focus on the road . An innovative flush - fitting handbrake set into a symmetrical centre console means the lever can be easily reversed to sit on the opposite side of console for left - hand drive export markets , minimising redesign costs . Sportwagon ( edit ) Unlike its predecessor , which utilised a longer wheelbase , the Sportwagon ( MY09 -- MY09. 5 SV6 pictured ) shares the sedan 's 2.9 - metre ( 9.5 ft ) wheelbase . Introduced in July 2008 , the A $110 million VE Sportwagon programme represented a departure from previous Commodore station wagons . Holden was concerned that the traditional wagon market was being severely eroded by growing sport utility vehicle ( SUV ) sales and over-reliance on fleet purchasing . Up to 90 percent of VZ wagons were bought by fleet companies and Holden sought to attract more retail customers . The decision was made to develop a sportier , more stylish wagon as an alternative to SUVs . The Sportwagon , unlike the previous VZ wagon , which shared its long - wheelbase with the Statesman / Caprice is built on the same short - wheelbase platform as the sedan . This shift in thinking means cargo capacity is reduced from VZ 's 1,402 litres ( 370 US gal ) to 895 litres ( 236 US gal ) but the sedan 's near 50 : 50 weight distribution is retained . The Sportwagon is styled with an aggressively sloping rear profile . To ensure the cargo opening is sufficiently large with such a profile , the tailgate hinges part way up the roof line . The design of the tailgate is compact enough to open in just 268 millimetres ( 10.6 in ) of space , a publicised feature in Sportwagon television commercials . Revisions were made to the suspension over the sedan 's setup . These included stiffer springs , anti-roll bar changes and an additional ball - joint in the rear suspension to handle the extra load . Weight increases by 91 kilograms ( 201 lb ) over the sedan . Aggressive pricing means Sportwagon variants of each specification level receive a A $1,000 premium over the sedan and are cheaper than the outgoing VZ wagons . Ute ( edit ) 2007 saw the launch of the VE Ute , a coupe utility based on the VE Commodore . It was unveiled to the media in August , with showroom sales began later in the month . This generation of the Holden Ute is aimed as a `` lifestyle vehicle '' , a shift from the traditional `` workhorse '' market . The VE series Ute was marketed as the Holden Ute rather than as the Holden Commodore Ute . Omega : The base model , having similar standard features to the Commodore Omega sedan but can carry more than the SS - V , SS and SV6 . It has the standard 3.6 - litre V6 180 kW ( 241 hp ) and 330 N m ( 243 lb ft ) . The manual version of the Omega came with the 3.6 - litre High - Output V6 with 195 kW ( 261 hp ) and 340 N m ( 251 lb ft ) but only until the mid-2009 MY10 update . SV6 : A sportier version of the V6 Ute , the SV6 replaced the S - pack from previous models . This has the 3.6 - litre High - Output V6 with 195 kW ( 261 hp ) and 340 N m ( 251 lb ft ) . Which has been recently updated to 210 kW ( 282 hp ) and 350 N m ( 258 lb ft ) engine . SS : The SS Ute is the basic V8 version with the same 6 - litre V8 as the Commodore sedan with 270 kW ( 362 hp ) and 530 N m ( 391 lb ft ) . SS - V : A higher spec edition of the SS and based on the SS - V Sedan , it has a 6 - litre V8 with 270 kW ( 362 hp ) and 530 N m ( 391 lb ft ) . SS - V Redline ( Series II ) : A performance version of the SS - V offering Brembo brakes , 19 - inch Alloy wheels , FE3 Super Sports Performance Suspension and a tyre inflater kit . Unlike the previous VU -- VZ generation , no double - cab , cab - chassis or AWD variants are offered . Safety ( edit ) Engine packaging became a contentious issue during development . Holden 's designers wanted the engine positioned well behind the front axle to allow short overhangs and an overall sportier appearance , whereas the crash engineers were concerned that this would reduce the body 's impact absorption in an accident . Negotiation between designers and crash engineers resulted in moving some of the engine components , including relocating the battery to the boot , freeing up valuable front - end space . By having the engine moved back and further down , the VE Commodore also benefits from near perfect 50 : 50 weight distribution across all variants , leading to superior handling . Crash engineers introduced several other safety initiatives , including relocating the fuel tank in front of the rear - axle line , instead of behind . A more crash - resistant rear - end was also seen as necessary . The design though had to incorporate a spacious boot and a spare - wheel bay that could house the largest - sized wheel to be fitted to the car . Crash test results from Australasian New Car Assessment Program ( ANCAP ) rate the VE lower in the offset frontal impact test than the previous generation Commodore . The overall crash score was marginally higher than the outgoing VZ , due to improvements in side impact protection giving a score of 27.45 out of 37 or a four star rating out of a possible five . Holden 's standardisation of six airbags in March 2008 for MY09 made the VE eligible for the ANCAP side pole test , yielding additional scoring points . The second stage of the VE 's safety rollout in October 2008 for MY09. 5 included the addition of an energy absorbing steering column shroud and redesigned rear door latches across the VE range . The inclusion of a seat belt reminder on the Omega sedan yielded another point , thus allowing the Omega sedan to score five - stars , or a score of 33.45 when tested the following December . The Omega Sportwagon was the next model to be awarded the full five stars the following February , following the addition of a seat belt reminder in Sportwagon production . The remaining VE models , including the Ute and WM Statesman / Caprice , which had already received most of the safety upgrades , received the seat belt reminder as standard fitment as of MY10 production from August 2009 . As a result , all VE sedan and Sportwagon variants along with the extended length WM models received the five - star rating . The VE Ute officially received the rating on 19 October 2009 , making the entire line - up of Australian - made Holdens five - star ANCAP rated . Powertrains ( edit ) MY07 Commodore Omega sedan MY10 Ute SV6 utility Holden , concerned about the risks of introducing a new platform and drivetrain at the same time , introduced the Australian - built Alloytec V6 engine in the proven VZ model . This allowed time to address any issues or faults before fitting it to the VE . The original base V6 benefited from power increases over the VZ , with engine noise reduced by using new timing chains among other modifications . An updated version of the long - serving four - speed GM 4L60 - E automatic transmission remained for this engine . Manual transmission options are the Aisin AY6 and Tremec T - 56 six - speeders . Two automatics featuring Active Select ; the five - speed GM 5L40 - E and six - speed GM 6L80 - E were also offered . The latter was reserved exclusively for a modified L76 V8 engine , giving an extra 10 kilowatts ( 13 hp ) of power compared to the VZ . This new engine designated L98 does not readily support fuel - saving Active Fuel Management technology , unlike the L76 . In October 2006 , Holden introduced a bi-fuel version of the Alloytec V6 , available to the Omega and Berlina . Able to run on both petrol and LPG , it features an advanced sequential vapour gas injection ( SVGI ) system and hardened valve seats to cope . The bi-fuel V6 produces 5 kilowatts ( 7 hp ) and 5 newton metres ( 4 lb ft ) less than the conventional V6 when run on LPG , for a total of 175 kilowatts ( 235 hp ) . Although LPG prices are lower , the engine uses a large 100 - kilogram ( 220 lb ) cylindrical gas tank which causes decreased boot space and slightly increased fuel consumption . Holden was able to take advantage of a loophole in government legislation , allowing an A $2,000 rebate on LPG installation because the unit is fitted post-production by Holden 's customisation arm HSVi . Normally , people would only be entitled to a A $1,000 rebate for new cars pre-installed with LPG . Due to the possibility that these bi-fuel Commodores may have been fitted with undersized O - rings in the service valve hand tap , Holden issued a recall affecting the first 981 of these models on 10 April 2007 . There were also two VE recalls previous to this . The initial 16 October 2006 recall affecting 1,521 V8 Commodore and WM Statesman / Caprice models involved a faulty fuel hose , causing a fuel smell to enter the cabin . A second 10 November 2006 recall affecting 12,830 Commodores and WM models built prior to 11 September 2006 resulted from defective rear seat belt anchors . On 7 December 2007 , another recall was issued for over 86,000 VE and WM V6 models . This was due to the possibility that one of the fuel lines in the engine compartment may have a rub condition with a fuel vapour hose clip , possibly causing a fuel smell to become evident . Internal cut - away revealing the VE Calais ( MY07 ) engine bay and suspension setup MY09. 5 Berlina sedan For the 2008 Australian International Motor Show in Sydney , Holden announced the MY09. 5 upgrade involving the standardisation of the `` premium '' Alloytec V6 across the Commodore range from 1 November 2008 , whereas previously it had been reserved for the SV6 and Calais . Omega and Berlina variants acquired variable valve timing , like the High Output engine , but not the `` premium '' dual exhaust system and the five - speed automatic transmission . These changes result in the base petrol V6 producing 5 kilowatts ( 7 hp ) less power and 5 newton metres ( 4 lb ft ) less torque than the engine it replaces . However , Omega and Berlina sedans benefit from a two percent fuel efficiency improvement , or four percent for wagons . Additionally , emissions have also been reduced allowing petrol - powered variants to achieve Euro VI certification , a pending emission standard for European introduction in 2014 . These changes extend further than the petrol engine as bi-fuel LPG variants benefit from an eight percent improvement in fuel economy when run on LPG . This reduced fuel consumption does however , come at a cost -- LPG - equipped models are rated at 318 newton metres ( 235 lb ft ) , 7 newton metres ( 5 lb ft ) less than before . Also announced at the 2008 motor show was a version of the 6.0 - litre V8 engine fitted with Active Fuel Management ( AFM ) technology , known as the L76 . Originally omitted from the L98 V8 , AFM aids fuel consumption under light engine loads , although it is available only when paired with the automatic transmission and power output is reduced by 10 kilowatts ( 13 hp ) . The announcement of AFM coincided with the announcement of EcoLine , a badge highlighting Holden vehicles employing fuel saving technologies or those powered by fuels other than petrol . For the VE Commodore , both AFM and LPG - powered versions fall under the EcoLine umbrella . On 7 April 2009 , Holden announced that dealerships were receiving their first deliveries of EcoLine - branded models , including the new L76 V8s . On 4 August 2009 , Holden announced the MY10 revisions to the VE and WM range to be released in September . For the VE Omega and Berlina , the 3.6 - litre Alloytec V6 has been downsized to 3.0 - litres , the lowest engine displacement of a Commodore since the straight - six engine fitted to the 1986 VL series . This smaller capacity engine features Spark Ignition Direct Injection ( SIDI ) technology , and is officially claimed to reduce fuel consumption by up to 12 percent depending on the variant . Power increases to 190 kilowatts ( 250 hp ) , although torque is reduced to 290 newton metres ( 210 lbf ft ) . Along with the 3.0 - litre engine , a 3.6 - litre version of the same , producing 210 kilowatts ( 280 hp ) and 350 newton metres ( 260 lbf ft ) , was also unveiled . Other than the manual transmission version of the SV6 , all SIDI V6 models are coupled to GM 's 6L50 automatic and fall under Holden 's EcoLine banner . Benefits to fuel economy for the 3.6 - litre SIDI can also be attributed to an improved `` deceleration fuel cut '' system , which terminates the fuel supply during engine coasting ; a higher efficiency alternator and voltage regulator ; a 50 rpm lower idle speed ( to 550 rpm ) ; and a new `` turbine damper '' for the automatic transmission that works to suppress vibrations at low rpms , thus enabling earlier upshifts . Omega versions of the Ute and all bi-fuel versions retain the existing 3.6 - litre and four - speed automatic combination , although the LPG engine has been tweaked for further efficiency gains . Further powertrain improvement came in September 2010 with the MY11 upgrades . Omega versions of the Ute were upgraded to the 3.0 - litre SIDI engine with six - speed automatic transmission as used in the sedan and wagons versions . Holden also modified both the 3.0 - litre V6 and 6.0 - litre V8 engines to accept E85 bio-ethanol in addition to petrol . Holden claims that running either engine on E85 provides a sizeable increase in performance and reduces CO emissions between 20 and 40 percent , depending on the distance the fuel is transported from the production site to the filling station . E85 compatibility extended to the 3.6 - litre V6 as part of the MY12 update in September 2011 .

The most significant gain over the Executive is the electronic stability control system ( Bosch version 8.0 ) now standard across the range . Like all VE models , the Omega uses a `` space saver '' spare tyre , which has come under scrutiny . The tyre can be driven for 500 kilometres ( 310 mi ) at a maximum speed of 80 kilometres per hour ( 50 mph ) . Concerns have been raised by the public over its usefulness in remote Australian outback areas , far from any tyre repair centres and asserts that it is a cost - cutting measure . Similar concerns have been raised in the media , although Holden maintains that this is a weight - saving feature and allows for full - size spare tyres to be purchased at an additional cost . Likewise , critics found the omission of standard air conditioning for the Omega model unforgivable , given both the overall hot Australian climate , and the cost of the car . This , however , was rectified in the MY09 upgrade of the Omega ( see below ) . Holden have offered five limited edition models based on the Commodore Omega : V - Series : introduced in October 2006 , the Commodore V featured air conditioning , a sports - oriented body kit including 17 - inch alloy wheels , a rear spoiler and colour - matched wing mirrors and exterior door handles . Lumina : debuted in June 2007 with a luxury theme including the Berlina grille and the original Calais V seven - spoke alloy wheels . Specified identically to the V - Series with exception to the rear spoiler , the Lumina saw the addition of rear parking sensors and Bluetooth connectivity . 60th Anniversary : released on 1 May 2008 to commemorate the 60th anniversary of the 48 -- 215 , Holden 's first vehicle . Aside from the unique 18 - inch alloy wheels , leather seat inserts , and `` 60th Anniversary '' badging , the anniversary model is essentially identical to the Lumina in terms of both equipment and styling . International : sedans and Sportwagons entered production in mid-March 2009 . Internationals are appointed with launch VE Calais V alloy wheels , front foglamps , a six - disc CD changer , leather upholstered trim and steering wheel , Bluetooth connectivity and rear park assist . Holden reintroduced the International in October 2009 . Offered in sedan and Sportwagon body styles , the second iteration was fitted with the 3.0 - litre SIDI V6 engine and six - speed automatic transmission ; a 3.6 - litre LPG Alloytec V6 engine with four - speed automatic transmission option was available for the sedan only . Extra features include 18 - inch alloy wheels , Berlina front grille , leather seat trim and steering wheel , Bluetooth connectivity and rear park assist for the sedan ( already standard on Sportwagons ) . Z Series : released on 5 September 2012 as a special edition Commodore . It was released to help boot the slowing sales of the VE range and to help send off the last model VE 's before the current model VF was released . The Z Series combined luxury and sports features for great value . The models that had the Z badging were the Omega , SV6 , SS and SS V. Features included leather seat trim ( Omega and SSV ) , Bluetooth connect , rear parking sensors , rear parking camera , 18 '' WM Caprice alloys ( Omega ) , rear lip spoiler , 19 ' alloys ( SV6 and SS ) . The Sedan and Sportwagon came as Z Series , SV6 Z Series , SS Z Series and SS VZ Series . The Ute came with all except for the Omega - based Z Series model . Commodore SV6 ( edit ) Building on the Omega , the SV6 is equipped with the more powerful High Output variant of the Alloytec V6 engine , coupled to a six - speed manual or five - speed automatic transmission . Air conditioning , a key feature missing on the launch Omega , came standard on the SV6 . A body kit and sports suspension similar to the V8 Commodore SS / SS V variants is also fitted . The SV6 sports the Performance interior look , characterised by an accentuated matte black centre console and red lighting , as opposed to the silver Functional - style interior of the Omega . Thunder SV6 Ute The thunder SV6 ute received charcoal coloured 19 - inch alloy wheels , satellite navigation , leather seat bolsters and Thunder badging . Commodore SS ( edit ) Offering similar equipment levels to the SV6 , the Commodore SS uses the 6.0 - litre V8 engine and T - 56 six - speed manual transmission . The SS is recognisable from its quad exhaust outlets in place of the SV6 dual outlets . The resulting specification level is much higher than the outgoing minimalist SV8 and only missing a few cosmetic touches of the previous flagship Commodore SS . Since its release , the SS has won two consecutive ( 2006 and 2007 ) Bang For Your Bucks awards , a Motor magazine initiative . The judges gave preference to the SS the second - time - round because `` the VE Commodore SS really does represent the biggest bang you 'll ever get for your bucks like these . '' A more upmarket SS , the SS V - Series represents the first time this type of naming has been applied to Holden products . The V - Series naming is reminiscent of the V - badging on selected Cadillac models , another member of the GM family . The badge design on the bootlid bears strong resemblance to the ones used by Cadillac . But whereas Cadillac uses it to signify high - performance versions of its products , Holden V - Series variants boast extra features . The V - Series variants were introduced , largely due to a fully optioned Commodore SS in the VZ range being rather successful . The SS V offers extra luxuries at a similar price point to the preceding SS . Inside , it is recognisable by the metallic look pedals and instruments matched with the exterior colour . Additionally , the entire dashboard can be optioned in a range of loud colours : bright red , orange or black . The SS V exterior is equally adventurous , exhibiting five - spoke 19 - inch alloy wheels and the option of larger 20 - inch wheels : the largest wheels ever fitted to a Holden car . SS V 60th Anniversary : like the 60th Anniversary Omega - based edition , the SS V pack launched on 1 May 2008 . Over the standard production SS V , the anniversary model added 10 - spoke 20 - inch alloy wheels , satellite navigation , rear parking sensors , a high - mounted rear spoiler , chrome exterior door handle highlights and `` 60th Anniversary '' badging and floor mats . SS V - Series Special Edition : following the 2009 cancellation of Pontiac brand in North America , the Pontiac G8 front - end fascia and other trimmings were fitted to approximately 1,500 Commodore SS Vs. Unveiled at the 2009 Deniliquin ute muster on 2 October , sales began in November . Unlike the G8 which was only offered as a sedan , Holden issued utility , sedan and Sportwagon body variants of the Special Edition . Due to the popularity of the Pontiac - inspired SS V , Holden announced on 14 January 2010 that production would be extended until March 2010 . Thunder SS Ute Additional equipment over the standard SS were - 19 - inch alloys , lowered sports suspension , excellent satnav with camera warning and traffic info ' , Bluetooth phone and audio and partial leather sports seats . Berlina ( edit ) Priced lower than the outgoing model , the second tier Berlina retains a similar amount of equipment . The exterior styling is similar to the Omega but gaining extra touches such as larger tail - lights , front fog lamps and seven - spoke 17 - inch alloy wheels . It features the Luxury - type interior with a large LCD centre display and is the only model in the VE range that features wood grain highlights . The VE series is the last one to feature this nameplate , first introduced in 1984 as a model variant and as a standalone nameplate in 1988 . Berlina International : The Berlina International was based on the Series II Berlina but had a number of additional features . It was available as a sedan or wagon.It featured leather trim , 18 inch alloy wheels and a reversing camera . Equipe : The Equipe was a luxury special edition Berlina released in 2011 under the Series II badge . It was based on the Berlina but also had many Calais features . In many ways it was similar to the previous limited edition Berlina International but was even better equipped. The car featured 18 '' Calais alloy rims , full leather Calais interior , fog lamps , rear parking sensors , rear view camera and came as a Sedan or Sportswagon model . The Sportwagon also featured a cargo blind . The car had $9600 of additional features . This special edition was limited to 7 colours and limited build numbers . The colours were Heron White , Sizzle , Karma , Nitrate , Alto Grey , Phantom and Mirage Glow . Satellite Navigation was available as an option . Calais ( edit ) Like the Berlina , the Calais retains the features of the outgoing model but at a lower price point . Offering a blend of luxury and sporting character , it pairs the High Output Alloytec V6 engine of the SV6 with the five - speed automatic transmission . Unlike the previous model Calais which featured a semi-sport suspension setup known as FE1. 5 , the VE shares the Commodore SS / SS V stiff sports suspension . Like the SS , an upscale V - Series edition is available . Being the flagship of the Commodore range , it comes with everything the VE has to offer and serves as a stepping stone to the luxury long - wheelbase Statesman / Caprice range based on the VE . The Calais ( as well as Berlina ) are the only models in the range to feature larger tail - lights . Calais V International : Based on the Series I , the Calais V International was available with V6 or V8 and auto transmission . The model featured 19 '' alloy wheels , unique interior trim , chrome exterior door handles , colour satellite navigation and alloy faced pedals . Calais V 60th Anniversary The Calais V 60th Anniversary Edition featured electronic sunroof and 19 '' alloy wheels . It also featured onyx / light urban leather interior , alloy faced pedals and chrome exterior door handles . HSV range ( E Series ) ( edit ) See also : Holden Special Vehicles The enhanced performance VE range sold by Holden Special Vehicles ( HSV ) is marketed as the E Series and it comprised the variants listed below . For the first time , in order to more greatly differentiate its products from the mainstream donor cars , HSV invested in revised sheetmetal ( chiefly , different front fender panels with dedicated air vent and different tail lights ) . E Series HSV vehicles have been the most successful and mass - produced vehicles in HSV 's history . Clubsport ( edit ) The E Series Clubsport R8 takes its fundamental body structure from the mainstream VE Commodore . It is also the standard model in the HSV line - up . With the deletion of lower lines of V8 HSV models the Clubsport slipped down to the entry level HSV V8 , on a par with the Manta of the VR - VS - VT series . As such the sales of E Series Clubsports has been over shadowed by the sales of the E Series GTS . 2006 -- 2008 HSV Clubsport R8 HSV E Series Clubsport R8 Tourer The Original E-Series Clubsport was released in September 2006 . The Clubsport had LED taillights and vertical front fender grilles only found on HSV E-Series models . Cloth trim was standard on Clubsport models with leather being an option . In September 2008 , the Clubsport R8 Tourer was released . The Tourer is a wagon version of the R8 , based on the Sportwagon . The two Clubsport models were powered by the 307 kW ( 417 PS ; 412 hp ) LS2 6.0 L V8 and Tremec T56 six - speed manual gearbox , capable of doing 0 -- 100 km / h in 5.8 seconds with the manual gearbox and 5.9 seconds when fitted with the auto transmission and having a top speed of 160 mph ( 260 km / h ) . From April 2008 , all HSV models use 6.2 L LS3 V8s , instead of the previous LS2 . The LS3 powers the HSVs at 317 kW ( 431 PS ; 425 hp ) and 550 N m ( 410 lb ft ) . 2009 -- 2010 HSV E-Series 2 Clubsport The HSV E Series 2 range was released 2010 and was the most major update since the release of E Series HSVs . Prices on the E2 Clubsport models started at $65,990 for the Clubsport R8 and $66,990 for the Clubsport R8 Tourer . The range received many cosmetic changes with new front and rear bumpers , twin - nostriled bonnet ( from the Pontiac G8 ) and a new range of wheel designs . The Series 2 has a very distinctive looking set of daytime running lights standard across the E2 range . The new engines is the range are the 325 kW ( 442 PS ; 436 hp ) 6.2 L LS3 V8 used exclusively by the HSV GTS , with the rest of the E2 range being powered by an LS3 in 317 kW ( 431 PS ; 425 hp ) trim . The new engines have also improved fuel economy by 4.2 % on the LS3 V8 . New is the intelligent launch controls , competition mode ESC and extended cruise control systems which are all standard for E2 models excluding intelligent launch control which is only available with a manual transmission . 2010 HSV E-Series 3 Clubsport ( MY11 ) HSV E Series 3 Clubsport R8 Tourer HSV E Series 3 or E3 commenced sales in 2011 . Model changes for the E series 3 include an option for LPI system ( for an extra $5990 ) allowing the vehicle to run on LPG and unleaded petrol ; the LPI system is not available on the ClubSport R8 Tourer . Cosmetic changes include a new spoiler and revised exhaust tips . HSV E Series 3 models reach 0 - 100kmp in 5.8 seconds . The HSV E Series 3 introduced the new HSV Enhanced Driver Interface ; it has the same interface as the Holden IQ ( found in VE Series II Commodores ) but with added function . The system allows users to access the car 's computer and monitor fuel consumption , stability , g - force and vehicle dynamics . Other functions include data logging options , digital gauge displays , stopwatch , driver and racing options , along with controls for the Grange 's Bi-Modal exhaust and Side Blind - Zone Alert . The HSV Enhanced Driver Interface and satellite navigation is standard across the E series 3 range . Vauxhall vxr ( edit ) Vauxhall VXR8 Vauxhall VXR8 Bathurst S VXR8 Bathurst S at Goodwood Festival of Speed 2009 Problems playing this file ? See media help . 350 VXR8s per year were scheduled for official importation into the UK , at a price of £ 35,105 . The LS3 V8 is particularly popular among tuners in the USA , so performance parts are widely available . The most dramatic warranted upgrade is the £ 7,000 supercharger kit , which ups power to 395 kW ( 537 PS ; 530 hp ) . Imports to the US were previously sold as Pontiac G8 , with V6 , L76 V8 , or an LS3 V8 engine in the GXP trim . The supercharged edition Bathurst VXR8 was reviewed on Top Gear , and its power - lap time was 1 min 26.3 seconds , a similar time to the old BMW M5 E60 . In July 2010 , Autocar reported that , `` VXR8 was quietly dropped from the price lists several months ago '' after stocks ran out . However , a facelifted version based on the new HSV E3 GTS was released to the UK market in April 2011 at a price of around £ 49,500 , almost £ 15,000 more than the previous VXR8 , but significantly cheaper than most of its rivals , like the Mercedes E63 AMG and BMW M5 . Vauxhall has offered the 2011 Clubsport to UK customers as a special order model . CSV CR8 ( edit ) In 2007 , the same model was exported to the Middle East badged as the CSV CR8 , albeit in left hand drive . In this instance , CSV stands for `` Chevrolet Special Vehicles '' , not to be confused with the unrelated , but also Holden Commodore - based Corsa Specialised Vehicles ( CSV ) cars . GTS ( edit ) The fundamental underpinnings are based on the mainstream VE Commodore models of the same years . The car is powered by GM 's 6.2 - litre LS3 V8 engine , with a maximum power output of 442 PS ( 325 kW ) . Buyers have the option of a six - speed manual transmission or six - speed automatic transmission ; the manual is capable of reaching 0 -- 100 km / h ( 0 -- 62 mph ) in 5.5 seconds and the automatic is capable of 0 -- 100 km / h ( 0 -- 62 mph ) in 5.6 seconds . E Series 1 HSV GTS 307 ( E Series 1 ) HSV GTS ( E Series 1 ) The GTS has usually used a more powerful engine and robust drivetrain than other HSV models , however the E-Series 1 GTS shared the 6.0 L LS2 V8 engine with 412 bhp ( 307 kW ) of power and 405 lb ft ( 550 N m ) of torque , with the cheaper Clubsport and the luxury Senator . The major difference between the E-Series GTS and other HSV models in the range is the Magnetic Ride Control ( MRC , or `` MagneRide '' ) . MRC utilises magnetorheological dampers to improve the car 's handling and dynamics . In the GTS , the MRC can be switched between Performance and Track response modes at the touch of a button . MRC is not available on the Clubsport ; it is standard equipment of the Senator , but switches between `` Luxury '' and `` Performance '' , there is no `` Track '' mode like the GTS has . HSV claims the braking performance of the GTS is better than some of the world 's leading sports cars , including the BMW M5 , Mercedes - Benz AMG CLS55 and Lamborghini Gallardo . The GTS can stop from 100 km / h ( 62 mph ) in just 36 metres , only 30 centimeters shy of a Porsche 997 . E Series 2 HSV GTS ( E Series 2 ) HSV GTS ( E Series 2 ) Released in September 2009 , the E Series 2 HSV GTS incorporated a more powerful motor and drivetrain than other HSV models . It retains the same GM LS3 6.2 L V8 engine but while the rest of the HSV range still have 317 kW or 425 bhp , the GTS engine is rated at ( 325 kW ) . Twin bonnet scoops have returned to this model from the styling of the Pontiac G8 . Other changes include the availability of launch control on manual versions , a recalibrated version of the magnetic ride control suspension with stiffer springs for the HSV GTS , wider wheels and a new high - flow dual - mode muffler system that produces a throatier roar under heavy acceleration . The E-Series 2 stability control system also has a Competition setting which allows for more wheel slip for special track or motorsport applications . The cruise control brakes the car when it is travelling downhill to ensure its speed stays within one per cent of the set speed . This model has daytime running lights . E Series 3 HSV GTS ( E Series 3 ) HSV GTS ( E Series 3 ) The E Series 3 was announced in September 2010 . It carried the same motor and drivetrain as before , and only minor changes to the exterior . In this series HSV focused on changes to the interior of the car as well as major upgrades to the computer systems and a new electronic interface called the HSV Enhanced Driver Interface . External changes included the shock wave exhaust tips and grilles and new HID Xenon adaptive projector headlamps . The control panel changes included a new ' Oracle Dash ' with upgraded trip computer , tire pressure monitors and fuel statistics ; the center console was reworked , introducing the Holden touchscreen IQ system and the HSV EDI performance data logging system ( similar to the Nissan GT - R ) , which displays real - time information on engine speed , brakes , gear shifts , g - forces on the car , steering angle , fuel economy , stability control , Magnetic Ride Control suspension , car dynamics , Bi-Modal Exhaust , battery voltage , oil pressure , power , torque , elevation , exhaust pressure , intake manifold pressure and air intake temp . The system includes preloaded race track locations , stop watches and track maps , satellite navigation , digital radio , Bluetooth , optional DVD player and ability to download data onto a PC using the Motech i2 software . The E Series 3 introduced ( SBZA ) Side Blind Zone Alert which uses ultrasonic sensors to alert drivers of traffic obstructions in blind spots . Using the HSV EDI the driver can customize operation of the car by for example turning off stability control and controlling the Bi-Modal Exhaust . The E Series 3 offered the option of HSV LPI ( Liquid Propane Injection ) , an LPG Autogas system which allows the use of liquid propane as an alternative fuel . The LPI is controlled by the car 's ECU and seamlessly changes from petrol to LPG when the engine has reached optimum temperature ( when maximum engine power is required , the system automatically switches back to petrol ) . Maloo ( edit ) The all - new E Series Maloo utility was a late arrival , released in October 2007 , and only available as the Maloo R8 . The Chevrolet Corvette - based 6 - litre LS2 V8 was now tuned to deliver 307 kW ( 412 hp ) and 550 N m ( 410 lb ft ) . Later 2008 and onwards models saw the power output rise to 317 kW ( 425 hp ) with the adoption of a 6.2 - litre LS3 V8 engine . Refinements on the E Series include Electronic Stability Control , five - star ANCAP rating , and linear control suspension . In August 2009 , the facelifted E Series 2 was released which uses the same drivetrain as the W427 with an upgraded dual plate clutch not found on previous models . Late in the model run , HSV released the limited edition GXP sedan and Maloo GXP ute , being amalgams of HSV and Pontiac G8 / ST components . A mildly cosmetically altered E Series 3 was released in September 2010 , and with it a special 20 years of Maloo edition limited to just 100 examples , featuring unique exterior equipment , including matte black ' Vector E ' vents on the front guards and bonnet , 20 - inch GTS alloy wheels , bi-modal exhaust system , Side Blind Zone Alert ( SBZA ) , and new hero colours , including ' Hazard ' yellow . The interior of the 20th anniversary Maloo features special leather upholstery , satellite navigation , Enhanced Driver Interface ( EDI ) , and a specific rear window decal and numbered build plate . Will be available in North America in July 2015 HSV Maloo ( E Series ) HSV Maloo ( E-Series ) HSV Maloo ( E-Series 2 ) HSV Maloo ( E-Series 2 ) HSV Maloo ( E-Series 3 ) HSV Maloo ( E-Series 3 ) Senator ( edit ) HSV Senator ( E-Series ) HSV Senator ( E-Series 2 ) HSV Senator ( E-Series ) HSV Senator ( E-Series 2 ) HSV Senator ( E-Series 3 ) HSV Senator ( E-Series 3 ) The E Series Senator Signature is based on the VE Commodore and was released in August 2006 with 307 kW ( 411 hp ) of power . It is a four - door , 5 seat sedan , is rated to tow a maximum of 1,600 kg ( 3,527 lb ) and is fitted with automatic transmission and leather interior as standard . The development cost for the E Series Senator was more than the VT , VX , Y Series and the Z Series Senators combined . In general , the HSV Senator Signature is a significantly more upmarket form of the Holden Calais - V , with a matching pricetag . The E Series Senator is 4,943 mm ( 194.6 in ) long and 1,899 mm ( 74.8 in ) wide , and the stopping distance from 100 km / h ( 62 mph ) is about 36 metres . The Senator is equipped with 19 - inch , 10 - spoke chrome shadow alloy wheels . The cabin features carbon fibre and imitation metal highlights . For the first time there are no visible wood grain trims that have featured in previous models . The rear lights on the Senator are full LED and were repositioned , lowering them by 120 mm ( 4.7 in ) to help differentiate the car from its Holden donor , creating sporting flair yet keeping the luxury image . The development cost to redesign the rear taillights cost HSV $3 million . The designers of the Senator have also attempted to add a more of a luxury feel to the car instead of favouring the aggressive side . The entry level price for the Senator Signature is $76,990 , down $4,000 from the previous model . Like the E-series HSV GTS , the suspension is fitted with switchable Magnetic Ride Control ( MRC , or `` MagneRide '' ) offering Luxury or Performance modes . It does this by electrically adjusting the viscosity of the ferrofluid inside the shock absorbers , producing different damping levels . Magnetic Ride Control also enhances braking by preventing forward weight transfer when the car is under heavy braking . The MRC system development took three years and cost HSV more than $4.5 million . Standard gear includes climate control , Blaupunkt sound , cruise control , full trip computer , rear park assist , traction control system , Electronic Stability Control , power mirrors and windows . The oil , voltage and temperature gauges are now digital . The interior offers a choice of light urban beige , white or black for the colours . The carpets remain dark as in the Holden Calais V - Series . The Senator Signature also offers a number of options such as a roof mounted DVD player , front park assist , rain sensing wipers and door entry lamps . Satellite navigation will become available as an option in the near future . From April 2008 , the HSV Senator Signature was fitted with the 6.2 - litre Generation 4 alloy LS3 V8 that delivered 317 kW ( 425 hp ) at 6000 rpm and 550 N m ( 406 lb ft ) at 4400 rpm . It can go from 0 to 100 km / h ( 0 -- 60 mph ) in around 5 seconds and has a limited top speed of 250 km / h ( 155 mph ) . From this MY09 model onwards , the Senator Signature was available with an optional 6 - speed manual transmission . In early 2009 , HSV introduced a base model Senator at the Melbourne Motor Show . This special model was priced from $69,990 ( RRP ) with just 30 manual and 59 auto examples produced . While it retained the look of the Signature model , it was essentially a ClubSport with a Senator body kit and did without many of the luxury features mentioned above as well as the MRC suspension , GTS - style seating and shadow chrome finish on the wheels . In October 2009 , HSV released their E2 model upgrades which introduced the `` Shockwave '' theme to the exterior of the Senator Signature . It was applied in a more subtle way than seen on the ClubSport , GTS and Maloo models with the front end receiving a new grille and some LED daytime running lights while the rear was fitted with the same style of lower body kit as the other sedan models . As with other models in the E2 range , the Senator Signature was available with the `` SV Enhanced Options '' bi-modal exhaust system and the 20 '' Pentagon wheel in place of a re-designed 19 '' wheel . There were no interior styling updates for the E2 model . 2010 saw the arrival of the E3 HSV range which brought with it a raft of interior changes shared with the VE Series II upgrade of HSV 's donor vehicle , the Holden Commodore , such as the new Holden iQ audio / infotainment system and safety features such as Side Blind zone alert . It also brought HSV 's Enhanced Driver Interface ( EDI ) system to the Senator , a system that constantly streams real - time vehicle dynamics and performance information to the touch screen in the centre console . The exterior remained mostly unchanged from the E2 model apart from the move to a 20 '' forged alloy that was available in Dark Stainless or Gloss Black . The LS3 was upgraded to 325 kW ( 436 hp ) with the fitment of the E2 GTS ' bi-modal exhaust system . The E3 was also available with the upgraded 6 - piston brakes from the GTS and had the option of a modern LPG fuel system called LPI ( Liquid Propane Injection ) to help reduce the running costs . Senator SV08 ( edit ) HSV Senator SV08 HSV Senator SV08 This was a limited edition of 50 vehicles released in late 2008 in the `` MY09. 5 '' model year . It was released alongside the limited edition 40 Years GTS . It was primarily to commemorate 20 years since the release of the SV88 , one of the first vehicles released by the then new HSV outfit . There were 20 manuals ( the first of the general run HSV E Series to use the TR6060 6 speed manual that had only been used in the W427 prior -- straight from the current Corvette ) and 30 autos . They were released in only 3 colours , Nitrate ( silver ) Sting ( red ) & Voodoo ( blue ) . It was also the first VE model Senator to be officially released with a manual . Equipment levels & drivetrain were identical to the Senator Signature of the time . Unique features of the SV08 are : SV08 badging , 20 '' Pentagon wheels , lower body gloss black accenting ( ran along the doors at the same level of the black accenting on the front & rear ) , chrome mirror head & door handle accents , SV08 sill plates & SV08 build plate . W427 ( edit ) HSV W427 HSV W427 The HSV W427 is the limited edition flagship of the initial E Series range by automobile manufacturer Holden Special Vehicles , released in celebration of the company 's 20th anniversary in 2008 , but produced until 2009 . The W427 is based on the Holden VE Commodore , but powered by the 7.0 L LS7 V8 . Power outputs are 510 PS ( 375 kW ; 503 bhp ) at 7000 rpm and 640 N m ( 470 lb ft ) at 5000 rpm , It features recalibrated Magnetic Ride Control ( MRC , or `` MagneRide '' ) and stiffer suspension settings than the HSV GTS , as well as a toughened 6 - speed manual gearbox , a new exhaust system , larger 6 - piston brakes , and strengthened limited - slip differential . The W427 's name is the result of a combination of factors . W is to honour the founder of HSV , Tom Walkinshaw . The 427 is simply the engine capacity in cubic inches , but it is also a nod to the HRT 427C , which won the 2002 and 2003 Bathurst 24 Hour motor races . Consumer interest for production of the W427 actually began with the still - born HRT 427 Coupe of 2002 , based on the Holden Monaro . The original W427 concept car was produced in the same body colour as the very first HSV model , the VL Commodore SS Group A SV . The production version HSV W427 sedan was announced in August 2008 and retailed for A $ 155,500 ( EUR € 90920 ) without optional equipment . Additional cost options amounted to three items : Electric Glass Sunroof , Satellite Navigation , and Rear Passenger Overhead DVD Player . Production was originally intended as a limited run of 427 cars . However , only 137 cars were built ( this number does not include the original concept car ) , sold only in Australia and New Zealand ( only three cars were exported to NZ ) . Reportedly , Holden Special Vehicles offered the pre-order of build no . 427 ( uniquely painted in `` Panorama '' silver ) to the Cairns Monaro collector Shawn Ryan , who purchased the 2002 HRT 427 coupe for $920,000 in 2008 . The last W427 to be built was made to order in July 2009 , being build no . 137 in `` Heron '' white , sold by Shacks HSV in Fremantle , Western Australia , and personally signed by Tom Walkinshaw . The HSV W427 will be noted in TWR / HSV history as the only car to which Tom Walkinshaw ' personally ' attached his name . It was not the first Holden Commodore - based vehicle to be powered by a 7.0 L LS7 V8 engine as that honour went to the more affordable Corsa Specialised Vehicles GTS . Total production by colour option Phantom ( metallic black ) Heron ( white ) Sting ( red ) Nitrate / Switch Blade ( metallic silver ) * Evoke ( metallic grey ) 44 35 29 23 6 * includes 2 Panorama ( silver metallic ) and 1 Lamborghini green ( metallic ) units . Model year changes ( edit ) MY09 Commodore Omega sedan MY09. 5 Calais Sportwagon MY11 Commodore Omega sedan MY11 Commodore Omega sedan MY11 Commodore SV6 Sportwagon MY12 Calais V sedan MY12 Commodore SS V sedan MY12. 5 Commodore SS Z Series sedan Like the VZ model before it , Holden with the VE have continued to moderate the long - standing tradition of implementing substantial updates marked by the frequent use of new model designations ( such and VT , VX , and VY ) successively interspersed with `` Series II '' and occasional `` Series III '' revisions . Holden have instead implemented a series of running changes over VE 's lifetime , signified by the model year ( MY ) : MY08 : models came in April 2007 . The horizontal wood grain key line across the dash on the Berlina was replaced by a matte silver insert . Also , the recessed buttons on the Omega key fob were now raised and made of a more durable plastic . This did not affect the remaining variants , fitted with the `` flip - out '' key fob from launch . MY08. 5 : changes from August 2007 coincided with launch of the VE Ute . MY09 : models were launched on 15 March 2008 . Six airbags were made standard across the range -- Omega and SV6 variants were previously fitted with two and four airbags respectively . Omega models also received standard fitment of air conditioning , 16 - inch alloy wheels , body colour wing mirrors and door handles , and a new grille insert with chrome highlights . Revised alloy wheel designs were featured on the Calais ( seven - spoke ) and Calais V ( 10 - spoke ) . MY09. 5 : upgrades affected models ordered from 21 October 2008 and produced from November . Instrument cluster illumination was commonised to white . The turn - by - turn navigation and Berlina V8 options were removed . Engine wise , the `` premium '' version of the Alloytec V6 was now fitted to the Omega and Berlina , bringing improved fuel consumption and a slight reduction in engine output ( see above ) . A range of safety upgrades were also introduced ( see above ) . Further MY09. 5 changes were introduced in March 2009 . The space - saver spare wheel were discontinued and replaced by two no - cost options : either a lightweight tyre inflator kit or a full - size spare wheel ( previously an extra cost ) . Sportwagon variants of the Calais V and SS V receive an alloy spare wheel if the full - size spare is chosen , while the remainder of the line - up receives a steel wheel spare . March also signalled an opportunity for Holden to replace the dark - grey horizontal dashboard strip and steering wheel spokes as used on the SV6 , SS and SS V to a matte silver type . The safety improvements made to the Omega sedan from October production onwards were also introduced for the Omega Sportwagon ( see above ) , and the `` V - Series '' insignia used on SS V and Calais V models was removed , replaced by a single `` SS V '' or `` Calais V '' badge . MY10 : versions of the VE were released in September 2009 . New 3.0 - litre and 3.6 - litre V6s have been introduced , featuring Spark Ignition Direct Injection ( SIDI ) and coupled to a new six - speed automatic transmission ( see above ) . These revised powertrains are marketed as part of Holden 's EcoLine range . Visually , all SIDI versions are distinguished by relocated and additional EcoLine badging . 3.0 - litre versions now utilise twin exhaust outlets . Updated cars also gain a recalibrated suspension setup and an extra ball - joint in the rear suspension ( previously introduced on the Sportwagon ) ; the result is increased tautness and improved handling in models fitted with 18 and 19 - inch diameter wheels . These cars are also equipped with a larger 24 - millimetre ( 0.9 in ) rear stabiliser bar . Additional engine bay sound deadening and a new muffler have resulted in reduced noise , vibration , and harshness . Elsewhere , the fitment of lighter low rolling - resistance tyres aids fuel consumption by minimising friction . Series II ( edit ) MY11 : revisions to the styling identify this update , marketed by Holden as the `` Series II '' . Announced on 31 August 2010 , and launched on 10 September , MY11 heralded styling changes across the range by way of new front fascias , the addition of aerodynamic lip detailing to the decklids of sedans , and new alloy wheel designs on the Berlina specification and higher . Front - end changes comprise partially reshaped headlamps , redesigned bumpers , and an enlarged grille with restyled inserts that differ throughout the model range . Inside , the interiors receive a redesigned centre console stack incorporating a new 6.5 - inch touchscreen , new dashboard , rearranged controls , reconfigured ventilation outlets , and updates to trimmings and illumination colours . SV6 , SS and SS V interiors are differentiated via the application of circular air vents . Standard on all models is the 6.5 - inch infotainment system developed primarily by Siemens VDO . Dubbed `` Holden - iQ '' , this integrates media playback and control functions . The iQ head unit replaces the previous mechanical CD stacker with a single slot and built in storage for approximately 15 CDs worth of music ( internal storage optional on the Omega ) . The system also features full iPod integration , USB and auxiliary input , and incorporates Bluetooth handsfree telephone compatibility and music streaming . On V - Series specifications , iQ incorporates satellite navigation with live traffic updates , speed zone alerts and traffic camera notification . Sedans and wagons specified with navigation also receive a reversing camera . In terms of powertrain , the MY11 brought flex - fuel capability for the 3.0 - litre V6 and 6.0 - litre V8 , allowing them to run on E85 bio-ethanol ( see above ) . With the MY11 update , Holden also introduced a new `` Redline '' sports package as an option on V - Series models . The package includes lightweight , forged and polished 19 - inch multi-spoke alloy wheels from the Pontiac G8 GXP . Other Redline additions encompass four - piston Brembo high - performance brakes , stiffer `` FE3 '' suspension and chromed window surrounds for sedans , and the fitment of the tyre inflater kit on the Redline Ute . MY12 : Holden commenced production of the MY12 update Commodore on 6 September 2011 . This followed Holden 's 2 September announcement that mechanical changes would be limited to efficiency improvements and the implementation of E85 compatibility for the 3.6 - litre SIDI V6 . As part of the cosmetic update , the Omega gains new seven - spoke 16 - inch alloy wheels and chrome highlights for the lower outboard fascia inserts , while the Berlina receives new chrome highlighted foglight surrounds . The Calais V adds a new boot lip spoiler , which will be available as an accessory for other MY12 sedans . SV6 and SS models score a new chrome - highlighted lower airdam and front grille surround , with V - Series versions of the SS acquiring additional chrome - accented lower outboard inserts . Redline editions of the SS V gain redesigned 19 - inch wheels , red painted brake calipers , and the fitment of `` FE3 '' suspension is extended to the Sportwagon and Ute variants . MY12. 5 : Production ( edit ) See also : Holden Commodore sales by year VE Commodores were exported to North America from 2007 to 2009 as the Pontiac G8 . However , the front bumper , hood and grill have been modified to integrate with Pontiac 's own design language . At the time of launch in Australia , Ford 's BF Falcon directly competed with the VE Commodore . In November 2006 Toyota released their key Aurion model to the Australian market . The front - wheel drive Mitsubishi 380 also indirectly competed with the Holden Commodore but has since been discontinued . The VE Commodore was well received in the Australian market , where it has consistently outsold rivals in the large car segment . Sales at one point were nearly double that of its closest segment competitor , the Ford Falcon . However , this gap has narrowed since the release of a new Falcon FG model . VE 's position as Australia 's outright best selling car was challenged in 2007 and overtaken during some months in 2008 by the Toyota Corolla in the face of increasing petrol prices . However , the release of the Sportwagon in mid-2008 has helped to re-establish its number one sales position by accounting for more than 30 percent of total Commodore sales . In 2007 the VE Commodore became the fifth Commodore model to receive the Wheels Car of the Year award . The last VE produced was a Commodore SS V - Series automatic sedan , pained Chlorophyll green and destined for a Northern Territory dealer . Since July 2006 , Holden produced more than 520,000 units of which 350,000 were sold in Australia . Exports ( edit ) The full Holden VE range was exported and sold to New Zealand , whereas in the Middle East and South Africa it was re-branded as the Chevrolet Lumina . Sales of the Berlina began in 2007 for Brazilian market as the Chevrolet Omega . Pontiac in North America also imported Commodore sedans from 2008 through to 2009 as the G8 . The G8 's cessation was a consequence of GM 's Chapter 11 bankruptcy resulting in the demise of the Pontiac brand . Unlike the Chevrolet Lumina and Omega , the Pontiac received several unique features including a revised L76 engine with Active Fuel Management as opposed to the Commodore 's L98 , and appearance changes . Bitter Vero Sport ( edit ) See also : Bitter Cars In 2009 , the small - scale German manufacturer , Bitter , which specializes in rebodying existing vehicles , unveiled its `` Vero Sport '' at the Geneva Motor Show . It was based on the Commodore SS and its production ended in 2012 . Notes ( edit ) Jump up ^ Robinson ( 2006 ) , p. 158 . Jump up ^ Robinson ( 2006 ) , p. 12 -- 13 .

It is common to both east longitude and west longitude . It is used as the basis for the International Date Line because it mostly passes through the open waters of the Pacific Ocean .

The only place where roads cross this meridian , and where there are buildings very close to it , is in Fiji . Software representation problems ( edit ) Many geographic software libraries or data formats project the world to a rectangle ; very often this rectangle is split exactly at the 180th meridian . This often makes it non-trivial to do simple tasks ( like representing an area , or a line ) over the 180th meridian . Some examples : The GeoJSON specification strongly suggests splitting geometries so that neither of their parts cross the antimeridian . In OpenStreetMap , areas ( like the boundary of Russia ) are split at the 180th meridian .

In the context of the musical , `` And I Am Telling You I 'm Not Going '' is sung by the character Effie White , a singer with the girl group The Dreams , to her manager , Curtis Taylor Jr. , whose romantic and professional relationship with Effie is quickly ending . The lyrics to `` And I Am Telling You I 'm Not Going '' , often considered the show 's signature tune , describe Effie 's love for Curtis , both strongly devoted and defiant . She refuses to let Curtis leave her behind , and boldly proclaims to him , `` I 'm staying and you ... you 're gon na love me . '' In addition to its presence in the musical , `` And I Am Telling You I 'm Not Going '' is also notable as the debut single of two women who portrayed Effie . Jennifer Holliday originated the role on Broadway in 1981 and won a Tony Award for her performance as well as the Grammy for Best R&B Performance , Female for its re-release in 1982 for which it became a number - one R&B hit for Holliday . Jennifer Hudson portrayed Effie in the 2006 film adaptation of Dreamgirls , winning an Oscar for the role . Hudson 's version became a Top 20 R&B single , and a number - one dance hit . Contents ( hide ) 1 Jennifer Holliday version 2 Jennifer Hudson version 2.1 Dance remix 3 Notable later versions 4 Charts 5 See also 6 References Jennifer Holliday version ( edit ) In 1982 , Jennifer Holliday , the actress who portrayed Effie in the original Broadway production , released the song as a single . It was her first single release and it met with great success , topping the Billboard R&B charts and attaining top forty positions on both the Billboard Hot 100 and the UK Singles Chart . In 1983 , Holliday won the Grammy Award for Best R&B Vocal Performance , Female for the single . `` And I Am Telling You I 'm Not Going '' was designed as the closing number of Dreamgirls ' first act . Holliday 's performance of the song , in a style owing much to gospel music singing traditions , was regularly staged to thunderous applause ; it was hailed as the highlight of the show in several printed reviews of the musical . In his review of Dreamgirls ' opening night performance , New York Times theatre critic Frank Rich referred to Holliday 's `` And I Am Telling You '' as `` one of the most powerful theatrical coups to be found in a Broadway musical since Ethel Merman sang `` Everything 's Coming Up Roses '' at the end of Act I of Gypsy '' `` And I Am Telling You I 'm Not Going '' remains Holliday 's signature song .

Her recording of the song , the Dreamgirls film soundtrack 's second single , peaked at number 60 on the US Billboard Hot 100 chart , and number 14 on the R&B chart . Hudson won the 2006 Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress for her performance in Dreamgirls ; she thanked Holliday in her acceptance speech . The song can be heard on her debut album Jennifer Hudson ( 2008 ) . Hudson 's version received outstanding reviews from multiple movie and music critics , which highlighted her strength as both a vocalist and an actress . New York Observer described Hudson 's performance as `` five mellifluous , molto vibrato minutes ... '' Newsweek said that when moviegoers hear Hudson sing the song , she `` is going to raise goose bumps across the land . '' Variety wrote that Hudson 's performance `` calls to mind debuts like Barbra Streisand in Funny Girl or Bette Midler in The Rose , with a voice like the young Aretha . '' On June 26 , 2007 , the 7th Annual BET Awards opened with Jennifer Holliday and Jennifer Hudson performing `` And I Am Telling You I 'm Not Going '' live in their first duet together . Although it in essence is Hudson 's first single release , it became her fourth top 75 hit in the United Kingdom after a performance on The X Factor in 2009 after being sung by Danyl Johnson . Hudson performed the song again at the 85th Academy Awards , as part of the Dreamgirls section in the tribute to movie musicals . Dance remix ( edit ) A club remix was created for this single , engineered by Richie Jones and Eric Kupper , and appears as a bonus track on the `` Deluxe Edition '' of the Dreamgirls soundtrack album . This version of Hudson 's `` And I Am Telling You '' was a chart success , reaching the top of the Billboard Hot Dance Club Play chart in early 2007 . A shortened edit of the full remix appeared on a Columbia Records promotional - only CD accompanying the Jones & Kupper remix of another Dreamgirls song , the Beyoncé Knowles / Anika Noni Rose / Sharon Leal / Jennifer Hudson rendition of `` One Night Only '' . Also included were the Freemasons remixes of Beyoncé 's singles `` Déjà Vu '' and `` Ring the Alarm '' . Notable later versions ( edit ) Whitney Houston performed the song at the beginning of a medley with `` I Have Nothing '' at the 1994 American Music Awards . This performance is included on her 2014 CD / DVD release , Live : Her Greatest Performances . Houston also performed the tune as part of the set list during her Bodyguard Tour in 1993 . In 1994 , Donna Giles scored a minor club hit in the US and UK with her rendition of the song . The track remained a sleeper club hit in the UK throughout 1995 , prompting a spate of re-releases and remixes , including Stonebridge , culminating in a major release on Ore Records in 1996 . This last release would finally take the track to number 27 on the UK Singles Chart in February of that year . On November 20 , 2007 , the original master , Produced by critically acclaimed Eve Nelson , was released digitally by Breaking Records and is available on all major download sites . Jake Gyllenhaal performed it on Saturday Night Live shortly after the film 's release in a mock performance of Jennifer Hudson . He wore a wig , black heels , and a black sequin dress . Three of the regulars on SNL were his `` backup singers '' , also dressed in a black dress , heels , and wigs .

On 1 December 2013 , Im released a version of the song as part of her self - titled album , which debuted at number one in Australia , and was certified Platinum . Also in 2013 , Sam Bailey performed it with Nicole Scherzinger as her celebrity duet choice during the first part of the tenth - season finale of The X Factor in the UK . The duet also appeared on her 2014 debut album The Power of Love . In 2015 , Jamie Foxx performed an improvised spoof of the song on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon , with the words to `` On Top of Spaghetti . '' In an episode of Martin , Gina ( Tisha Campbell ) performs the song while interrupting Pam 's performance of the song `` Home '' ( from The Wiz ) on Martin 's talk show `` Word On the Street . '' As they both are auditioning for Biggie Smalls , they attempt to out - sing each other , ultimately resulting in embarrassing Martin . In Britain 's Got Talent 2017 , Sarah Ikumu sang this song as her audition piece . It won her the Golden Buzzer from Simon Cowell which gets her an unchallenged pass into the live finals .

"In addition to its presence in the musical, \"And I Am Telling You I'm Not Going\" is also notable as the debut single of two women who portrayed Effie. Jennifer Holliday originated the role on Broadway in 1981 and won a Tony Award for her performance as well as the Grammy for Best R&B Performance, Female for its re-release in 1982 for which it became a number-one R&B hit for Holliday. Jennifer Hudson portrayed Effie in the 2006 film adaptation of Dreamgirls, winning an Oscar for the role. Hudson's version became a Top 20 R&B single, and a number-one dance hit.\n"

The song was written by Freddie Mercury about Mary Austin , with whom he had a long term relationship in the early 1970s . After performing the song in South America in 1981 , the version from their live album Live Killers reached number 1 in the singles chart in Argentina and Brazil , and stayed in the charts in Argentina for an entire year . Freddie Mercury wrote it on the piano and guitar first , and Brian May rearranged the song for acoustic 12 - string guitar for live performances , also lowering the key by a minor third . May contributed occasional guitar phrases to the original recording and played the swooping harp glissandos by pasting together multiple takes of single chords . The song is an example of Mercury 's familiarity with rubato phrasing , showcasing his classical piano influences , notably by Chopin and Beethoven . With its similar lyrical theme , the Roger Taylor penned single `` These Are the Days of Our Lives '' would later hearken back to `` Love of My Life '' , twice using the line `` I still love you '' . At the end of `` These Are the Days of Our Lives '' , Mercury simply speaks those words , as he would often do in live versions of `` Love of My Life '' . During the voyage of the space shuttle Columbia ( STS - 107 ) , Israeli astronaut , Ilan Ramon , asked to play the song . The song was played in the shuttle and Ramon said : `` A special good morning to my wife , Rona , the love of my life . '' Ramon died in the Columbia disaster shortly thereafter , during its return to the atmosphere in 2003 . Contents ( hide ) 1 Live performances 2 1979 live single release 3 Queen quotes 4 Personnel 5 References 6 External links Live performances ( edit ) Introduced during the News of the World Tour in 1977 , `` Love of My Life '' was such a concert favourite that Mercury frequently stopped singing and allowed the audience to take over . It was especially well received during concerts in South America , and resultantly the band released the Live Killers version of the song as a single there . After Mercury 's death , Brian May has frequently dedicated the song to him in his own live performances . A notable exception is the Sheffield show which yielded the Return of the Champions CD and DVD . At that show , May announced that Mercury 's mother was at the show and he dedicated the song to her instead . In the Queen + Paul Rodgers Tour , May would sing a few lines of the song , then let the audience take over for every verse , as Mercury did . When played at the Glasgow SECC in the 2008 Cosmos Rocks tour , May dedicated the song to his recently deceased mother . During Rock in Rio 6 in 2015 , Queen + Adam Lambert was one of the artists to celebrate the festival 's 30th anniversary . `` Love of My Life '' had both May singing a few lines and archive footage of Mercury performing the song during the inaugural Wembley concert in 1986 . 1979 live single release ( edit ) The acoustic version of the song featured on the band 's 1979 album Live Killers was recorded at their concert at Festhalle Frankfurt on 2 February of that year . A shortened version was released as a single in the UK and other territories , which did not include the spoken intros and outros from the album . The linear notes for the DVD release `` Greatest Video Hits 1 '' state that although the live audio is from Frankfurt , the accompanying music video that was edited to the track consisted of footage from a 1979 Tokyo concert . In fact , the footage was filmed before one of three Tokyo concerts the band played between 23 -- 25 April . Some bits of footage from two concerts in Paris from earlier in the year are woven in . After performing the song in South America in 1981 , it was this version that reached number 1 in the singles chart in Argentina and Brazil , and stayed in the charts in Argentina for an entire year . Queen quotes ( edit ) `` `` Love Of My Life '' is adapted on stage for guitar , but it was written on the piano . I 've totally forgotten the original and if you asked me to play that now , I could n't . Sometimes , I have to go back to the music sheet , and I ca n't read that well either . '' -- Freddie Mercury , 1981 `` Interviewer : Did you learn to play harp for `` Love Of My Life '' ? Learning would be too strong a word . I did it chord by chord . Actually , it took longer to tune the thing than to play it . It was a nightmare because every time someone opened the door , the temperature would change and the whole thing would go out . I would hate to have to play a harp on stage . I just figured out how it worked -- the pedals and everything -- and did it bit by bit . '' -- Brian May , 1982 `` I hate this thing about trying to recreate the albums on stage . We sometimes deliberately change . Look at ' Love Of My Life ' , for instance . On record I play piano on that but on stage it 's just Brian playing the guitar and me singing it , because it works on stage better that way .

Under US law , a radio station can play a specific song in exchange for money , but this must be disclosed on the air as being sponsored airtime , and that play of the song should not be counted as a `` regular airplay '' . The term has come to refer to any secret payment made to cast a product in a favorable light ( such as obtaining positive reviews ) . Some radio stations report spins of the newest and most popular songs to industry publications . The number of times the songs are played can influence the perceived popularity of a song . The term payola is a combination of `` pay '' and `` - ola '' , a common suffix of product names in the early 20th century , such as Pianola , Victrola , Amberola , Crayola , Rock - Ola , Shinola , or brands such as the radio equipment manufacturer Motorola . Payola has come to mean the payment of a bribe in commerce and in law to say or do a certain thing against the rules of law , but more specifically a commercial bribe . The FCC defines `` payola '' as a violation of the sponsorship identification rule that in 2005 - 06 resulted in tens of millions of dollars in fines to cable corporations in New York . Contents ( hide ) 1 History 1.1 Congressional payola investigations 2 Modus operandi 2.1 Third - party loophole 2.2 As money laundering scheme 3 Criticism 4 See also 5 References 6 Further reading History ( edit ) In earlier eras there was not much public scrutiny of the reasons songs became hits . The ad agencies which had labored for NBC radio & TV show Your Hit Parade for 20 years refused to reveal the specific methods that were used to determine top hits , only stating generally that they were based on `` readings of radio requests , sheet music sales , dance hall favorites and jukebox tabulations '' . Attempts to create a code to stop payola were met with mainly lukewarm silence by publishers . Prosecution for payola in the 1950s was in part a reaction of the traditional music establishment against newcomers . Hit radio was a threat to the wages of song - pluggers . Radio hits also threatened old revenue streams ; for example , by the middle of the 1940s , three - quarters of the records produced in the USA went into jukeboxes . Still , in the 1950s , independent record companies or music publishers frequently used payola to promote rock and roll on American radio ; it promoted cultural diversity and disc jockeys were less inclined to indulge their own personal and racial biases . Alan Freed , a disc jockey and early supporter of rock and roll ( and also widely credited for actually coining the term ) , had his career and reputation greatly harmed by a payola scandal . Dick Clark 's early career was nearly derailed by a payola scandal , but he avoided trouble by selling his stake in a record company and cooperating with authorities . Attempts were made to link all payola with rock and roll music . In 1976 inner - city urban soul DJ Frankie Crocker was indicted in a payola scandal , causing him to leave NY radio , where his influence was greatest . The charges were later dropped and he returned to NY , hosting MTV 's video jukebox . The amount of money involved is largely unpublished ; however , one DJ , Phil Lind of Chicago 's WAIT , disclosed in Congressional hearings that he had taken $22,000 to play a record . The issue was also revisited in a 1978 episode of WKRP in Cincinnati , where Johnny Fever 's morning show replacement ( when Johnny left to take a new job in Los Angeles ) was caught taking cocaine as a bribe to play certain records from a label that he was associated with . Before this , Johnny had done the late - night shift ( returning after his new job did n't work out ) , and was eventually reinstated in his original morning slot . Payola to DJs is less of a concern today , as they are rarely involved in choosing the songs . Modern radio is widely based on company - delivered playlists , often scheduling every song , commercial break , and DJ talk time , and most shows are pre-recorded well in advance of their broadcast . Especially with shows that are voicetracked from elsewhere where an off - air assistant may choose the playlists rather than the DJs themselves , local radio staff have little to no input on a playlist outside of special but rare segments where a local artist might be spotlighted , or contests where local artists are offered the opportunity to open a station - sponsored concert or music festival for more well - known acts . Congressional payola investigations ( edit ) The Congressional Payola Investigations occurred in 1959 , after the United States Senate began investigating the payola scandal . Among those thought to have been involved were DJ Alan Freed and television personality and host Dick Clark . The term Congressional Payola Investigations refers to investigations by the House Subcommittee on Legislative Oversight into payola , the practice of record promoters paying DJs or radio programmers to play their labels ' songs . Payola can refer to monetary rewards or other types of reimbursement , and is a tool record labels use to promote certain artists . Other forms of payola include making arrangements to purchase certain amounts of advertising in exchange for staying on a station 's playlist , forcing bands to play station - sponsored concerts for little or no money in order to stay in a station 's good graces , and paying for stations to hold `` meet the band '' contests , in exchange for air time for one of the label 's newer , lesser - known bands . The first major payola investigation occurred in the early 1960s . DJ Alan Freed , who was uncooperative in committee hearings , was fired as a result . Dick Clark also testified before the committee , but survived , partially due to the fact that he had previously divested himself of ownership interest in all of his music - industry holdings . After the initial investigation , radio DJs were stripped of the authority to make programming decisions , and payola became a misdemeanor offense . Programming decisions became the responsibility of station program directors . As a result , the process of persuading stations to play certain songs was simplified . Instead of reaching numerous DJs , record labels only had to connect with one station program director . Labels turned to independent promoters to circumvent allegations of payola . This practice grew more and more widespread until a 1986 NBC News investigation called `` The New Payola '' instigated another round of Congressional investigations . With the creation of Napster and other now illegal music sharing websites , the power of the independent promoters began to decline . Labels once more began dealing with stations directly . In 2002 , investigations by the office of then - New York District Attorney Eliot Spitzer uncovered evidence that executives at Sony BMG music labels had made deals with several large commercial radio chains . In July 2005 , the company acknowledged their improper promotional practices and agreed to pay a $10 million fine . Modus operandi ( edit ) Third - party loophole ( edit ) A different form of payola has been used by the record industry through the loophole of being able to pay a third party or independent record promoters ( `` indies '' ; not to be confused with independent record labels ) , who will then go and `` promote '' those songs to radio stations . Offering the radio stations `` promotion payments , '' the independents get the songs that their clients , record companies , want on the playlists of radio stations around the country . This newer type of payola was an attempt to sidestep FCC regulations . Since the independent intermediaries were the ones actually paying the stations , it was thought that their inducements did not fall under the `` payola '' rules , so a radio station need not report them as paid promotions . Former New York State Attorney General Eliot Spitzer prosecuted payola - related crimes in his jurisdiction . His office settled out of court with Sony BMG Music Entertainment in July 2005 , Warner Music Group in November 2005 and Universal Music Group in May 2006 . The three conglomerates agreed to pay $10 million , $5 million , and $12 million respectively to New York State non-profit organizations that will fund music education and appreciation programs . EMI remains under investigation . Concern about contemporary forms of payola prompted an investigation during which the FCC established firmly that the `` loophole '' was still a violation of the law . In 2007 , four companies ( CBS Radio , Citadel , Clear Channel , and Entercom ) settled on paying $12.5 million in fines and accepting tougher restrictions than the legal requirements for three years , although no company admitted any wrongdoing . Because of the increased legal scrutiny , some larger radio companies ( including industry giant Clear Channel ) now flatly refuse to have any contact with independent promoters . Clear Channel Radio through iHeartRadio launched a program called On The Verge that required the stations to play a given song at least 150 times . One of the songs that benefited was Iggy Azalea 's `` Fancy '' . On Spotify labels can pay for tracks to appear in user play - lists as `` Sponsored Songs '' . It is possible to opt - out of it using a setting . As money laundering scheme ( edit ) In Mexico , South America and some regions of the US south border it is common to hear the sudden appearance of `` new artists '' , mainly in folk radio stations , who are not known in the music industry , have no previous career and with no explanation of where they come from . These music groups and singers start to appear consistently on radio , television and public broadcasts with a strong promotion of their concerts . This happens for a fixed amount of time , and in the same sudden way they appear , they stop their promotion and disappear from the music scene , or change their stage name . Such artists are commonly manufactured by producers of dubious origin , who pay payola and do events in order to launder money from drug trafficking , prostitution or other illegal operations . Criticism ( edit ) The Federal Communications Commission ( FCC ) and the Communications Act of 1934 both have strict requirements and rules regarding the issue of payola . Both the FCC and the Act demand that `` employees of broadcast stations , program producers , program suppliers and others who , in exchange for airing material , have accepted or agreed to receive payments , services or other valuable consideration must disclose this fact . Disclosure of compensation provides broadcasters the information they need to let their audiences know if material was paid for , and by whom . '' But even with these requirements in place , big - time record companies have found loopholes to continue the practice legally . The reason why record companies have managed to find relatively big loopholes in an otherwise complex and strict document is because of the wording . According to the current regulations in place , it is still considered legal to pay to play a particular song on the radio . The only hitch is that the broadcaster has to reveal who paid . In addition , the disclosures must be from DJ to station manager to program director and upwards . The loose wording has created a deadly loophole that makes it easier for wealthy record company officials to pay the DJs large sums of money to play certain songs a certain number of times at a given time during the day . The loophole has created a `` grey market , one in which shady , quasi-legal deals take place , and independent artists lose out more often than not . '' The loophole has made it sure that independent artists will isolated from mainstream media . And a current example of this is the lengths Macklemore and Ryan Lewis went to get their music heard . Because Lewis and Macklemore belonged to an independent label , they feared payola laws would interfere with their airtime . So they `` hired an independent arm of Warner Music Group , the Alternative Distribution Alliance , which helps independent acts get their stuff on radio . Zach Quillen , manager of Macklemore and Ryan Lewis , discussed how `` they paid the alliance a flat monthly fee to help promote the album . '' One side effect of the vagueness of the law and the creation of the loophole is the expansion of the concept at the hands of online music sharing websites . In 2009 , the website Jango created a plan to do payola legally by saying they have been paid to play the songs . `` For as little as $30 , a band can buy 1,000 plays on the music - streaming service , slotted in between established artists The artists themselves choose what other music they 'd like to be played next to . '' Another side effect with payola is that it is not just limited to the music industry anymore . The TV industry has engaged in a form of payola with interviews . Networks deny paying for interviews , but are willing to pay large sums of money in cases that garner a lot of attention . An example is the Casey Anthony case in 2011 .

The Jets compete in the National Football League ( NFL ) as a member club of the league 's American Football Conference ( AFC ) East division . The team is headquartered in Florham Park , New Jersey . In a unique arrangement for the league , the Jets share MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford , New Jersey with the New York Giants . The franchise is legally and corporately registered as New York Jets , LLC . The team was founded in 1959 as the Titans of New York , an original member of the American Football League ( AFL ) ; later , the franchise joined the NFL in the AFL -- NFL merger in 1970 . The team began to play in 1960 at the Polo Grounds . Under new ownership , the current name was adopted in 1963 and the franchise moved to Shea Stadium in 1964 and then to the Meadowlands Sports Complex in 1984 . The Jets advanced to the playoffs for the first time in 1968 and went on to compete in Super Bowl III where they defeated the Baltimore Colts , becoming the first AFL team to defeat an NFL club in an AFL -- NFL World Championship Game . Since 1968 , the Jets have appeared in the playoffs 13 times , and in the AFC Championship Game four times , most recently losing to the Pittsburgh Steelers in 2010 . However , the Jets have never returned to the Super Bowl , making them one of three NFL teams to win their lone Super Bowl appearance , along with the New Orleans Saints and Tampa Bay Buccaneers . Apart from the Cleveland Browns and Detroit Lions , who have never reached the Super Bowl ( although both won NFL championships prior to 1966 ) , the Jets ' drought is the longest among current NFL franchises . The team 's training facility , Atlantic Health Jets Training Center , which opened in 2008 , is located in Florham Park . The team currently holds their annual training camp sessions in Florham Park , New Jersey .

Harry Wismer , representing the city of New York at the meeting , proclaimed the state was ready for another professional football team and that he was more than capable of running the daily operations . Wismer was granted the charter franchise later dubbed the Titans of New York as Wismer explained , `` Titans are bigger and stronger than Giants . '' He secured the Titans ' home field at the decrepit Polo Grounds , where the team struggled financially and on the field during its first three years . By 1962 , the debt continued to mount for Wismer , forcing the AFL to assume the costs of the team until season 's end . Joe Namath quarterbacking for the Jets in Super Bowl III . A five - man syndicate , headed by Sonny Werblin , saved the team from certain bankruptcy , purchasing the lowly Titans for $1 million . Werblin renamed the team the New York Jets since the team would play in Shea Stadium near LaGuardia Airport . The new name was intended to reflect the modern approach of his team . The Jets ' owners hired Weeb Ewbank as the general manager and head coach . Ewbank and quarterback Joe Namath led the Jets to prominence in 1969 , when New York defeated the heavily favored Baltimore Colts in Super Bowl III and solidified the AFL 's position in the world of professional football . When the AFL and NFL merged , the team fell into a state of mediocrity along with their star quarterback , Namath , who only had three successful post-merger seasons after injuries hampered much of his career . The Jets continued to spiral downward before enjoying a string of successes in the 1980s , which included an appearance in the 1982 AFC Championship Game , and the emergence of the popular New York Sack Exchange . The early 1990s saw New York struggling . After firing coach Bruce Coslet , owner Leon Hess hired Pete Carroll who struggled to a 6 -- 10 record and was promptly fired at the end of the season . Thereafter , Rich Kotite was selected to lead the team to victory ; instead he led the Jets to a 4 -- 28 record over the next two years . Kotite stepped down at the end of his second season forcing the Jets to search for a new head coach . Hess lured then - disgruntled New England Patriots head coach Bill Parcells to New York in 1997 . Parcells led the team back to relevance and coached them to the AFC Championship Game in 1998 . Hess died in 1999 while the team , plagued by injuries , produced an eight win record , falling short of a playoff berth . At the end of the season , Parcells stepped down as head coach deferring control to his assistant , Bill Belichick ; Belichick resigned the very next day ( leaving a napkin at the stage for his introduction , on which he had written `` I resign as HC of the NYJ '' ) and went on to accept the head coaching position with the Patriots . The franchise obtained a new owner in Woody Johnson in 2000 . Additionally , through the 2000s the Jets visited the playoffs five times , a franchise record , under the direction of three different coaches . Rex Ryan was hired in January 2009 . Ryan led the team to back - to - back AFC Championship appearances during his first two years but the team never made the playoffs again during his tenure . Ownership Wismer Harry Wismer , a businessman , had been interested in sports for much of his life when he was granted a charter franchise in the American Football League . A three - sport letterman , football , particularly , stuck with Wismer who went on to play for the University of Florida and Michigan State before a knee injury ended his playing career . Undeterred , Wismer began his career as a broadcaster originally with Michigan State and became a pioneer of the industry . Later , as the Titans owner , Wismer formulated a league - wide policy which allowed broadcasting rights to be shared equally among the teams . Wismer , who had previously had a 25 % stake in the Washington Redskins , was interested in the American Football League and was given a franchise to develop in New York . Wismer , whose philosophy was who you knew mattered most , tried to make the team and the league a success . His efforts began to accrue debt as the Titans ' first two seasons were mediocre with attendance dropping in the team 's second year . The franchise was sold for $1 million to a five - man syndicate headed by Sonny Werblin of the Gotham Football Club , Inc. , in February 1963 . Werblin syndicate Sonny Werblin graduated from Rutgers University and was employed by the Music Corporation of America , eventually becoming president of the company 's television division . With a vast knowledge of media , Werblin was determined to put the spotlight on the team . His first order of business , after changing the team 's name and jerseys , was to sign Joe Namath to an unprecedented contract . Werblin 's gamble would later pay off as Namath , who became a public star , led the Jets on to victory in Super Bowl III , though by then Werblin had sold his stake in the team . Werblin 's partners , Townsend B. Martin , Leon Hess , Donald C. Lillis , and Philip H. Iselin , had a falling out with Werblin over the way the team was run -- though the franchise had begun to make a profit , Werblin was making all the policies and decisions himself with little or no input from his partners , much to their dismay . Though Werblin initially resisted their ultimatum to dissolve the partnership , Werblin agreed to be bought out in 1968 . Werblin remained involved in the sports community and became the first chairman and CEO of the New Jersey Sports and Exposition Authority where he helped to create the Meadowlands Sports Complex , including Giants Stadium . Hess Leon Hess became well known for his Hess Corporation gas stations ; however , he also played an instrumental part in the development of the Jets during his tenure as co-owner and eventual sole owner . Hess had often fought for improvements while the team was a tenant at Shea Stadium but generally stayed away from football operations , allowing his coaches and general manager to make football - related decisions . Becoming the team 's majority stockholder in 1973 , Hess bought Philip H. Iselin 's share upon his death in 1976 after which only two of Hess ' partners remained , Townsend Martin and Helen Dillon , who had inherited the stake from her father Donald Lillis , upon his death . Hess began to buy out the remaining partners in 1981 when he bought Martin 's 25 % stake for $5 million . Hess bought Dillon 's stake three years later for another $5 million , acquiring sole control of the team . Hess had a passion for his team and took losses hard . In 1995 , following a mediocre 6 -- 10 season under Pete Carroll , despite generally shying away from football operations , Hess announced `` I 'm 80 years old , I want results now '' during a conference in which Rich Kotite was introduced as the team 's new coach . After two unsuccessful years with Kotite , Hess heavily involved himself in hiring Bill Parcells in hopes to see his team again reach the Super Bowl . He did not live to see his dream realized , dying on May 7 , 1999 . Johnson at a November 2008 game Woody Johnson With the team for sale , two potential buyers were found in Cablevision and philanthropist Woody Johnson whose grandfather , Robert Wood Johnson II , expanded Johnson & Johnson . Johnson was unknown among the other NFL owners at the time of his $635 million purchase of the franchise . However , Johnson had a passion for sports according to former Knicks general manager Ernie Grunfeld and desired to own his own team . Johnson has been considered to be an enabler who wants the best from his employees . Much like Hess , Johnson left many of the football related decisions up to his management team and tended to avoid the spotlight . However , upon hiring head coach Rex Ryan , Johnson had an increased presence as he molded the Jets into his team . In 2017 , Johnson was appointed by President Donald Trump as the United States Ambassador to the United Kingdom . Once his post was confirmed , his brother Christopher took over day - to - day operations for the team , including personnel decisions . Stadiums Shea Stadium , 1964 Owner Harry Wismer sought out a place for the team to play their home games but was only able to secure the dilapidated Polo Grounds , which had not had a major tenant since the baseball New York Giants vacated the stadium in 1957 . The Titans played their first four seasons at the stadium -- in the final season they were renamed the Jets . The Titans shared the stadium with baseball 's new expansion team , the New York Mets , for two years before both teams moved to the Shea Stadium in Queens in 1964 . The Jets hold the distinction of being the final team to host a game at the Polo Grounds , a 19 -- 10 loss to the Buffalo Bills on December 14 , 1963 . Wismer hoped the Titans could play in what would become known as Shea Stadium beginning in 1961 . However , funding difficulties and legal problems delayed construction of the stadium . Wismer signed a memorandum of understanding in late 1961 to secure the Titans ' new home . That memorandum recognized that the Mets would have exclusive use of the stadium until they had completed their season . As the team moved to Shea under new ownership , they were , in most years , required to open the season with several road games , a problem made worse in 1969 and 1973 when the Mets had long playoff runs . Feeling that this arrangement put the Jets at a disadvantage , the team announced in 1977 that they would play two home games a year during the month of September at the Giants ' new home in New Jersey , Giants Stadium . Litigation began between New York City and the Jets over the issue , and in the lawsuit 's settlement , the city agreed to allow the Jets to play two September home games a season at Shea beginning in 1978 for the remaining six years in the Jets ' lease . In 1977 , the Jets were to play one September game at Giants Stadium and an October 2 game at Shea . In spite of these issues , majority owner Leon Hess was interested in renewing the team 's lease at Shea , which was due to expire in 1983 . Hess negotiated with New York mayor Ed Koch . Hess wanted the city to redevelop the stadium to expand its capacity . He also hoped to renegotiate other aspects of the lease -- the Jets received no money from ticketholders parking at Shea . Hess 's proposals met resistance from Koch . When negotiations reached an impasse , the Jets announced their intention to depart for New Jersey . On December 10 , 1983 the Jets played their final game at Shea and lost to the Steelers 34 -- 7 . As fans pillaged the stadium for mementos , the scoreboard read `` N.J. Jets '' in reference to the Jets ' departure to the Meadowlands . When the Jets joined the Giants at the stadium , many Jets fans hoped the name , Giants Stadium , would be changed . However , the Giants , who had the authority to approve the change , refused . In an effort to conceal the fact that they played in a stadium built and decorated for another team , the stadium grounds crew was assigned to make the stadium more Jet - friendly during Jets games by putting up green banners and placing the Jets ' logo over the Giants ' . No change could be made to the blue and red seating bowl . The Jets were featured in the first NFL playoff game in the stadium 's history , falling to the Patriots on December 28 , 1985 . As the Jets sought to become a stronger franchise and remove themselves from their counterparts ' shadow , the team entered into negotiations with the Metropolitan Transportation Authority in an attempt to build a stadium on the west side of Manhattan , entering a bidding war with TransGas Energy Systems and Cablevision for the rights to the West Side Yard property -- Hess , prior to his death , had been approached by former mayor Rudy Giuliani about bringing the team to the West Side when their lease at Giants Stadium expired in 2008 . Cablevision was fixated against the Jets owning the land as Madison Square Garden , located only a few blocks away , would be forced to compete with the stadium . Team owners had voted , 31 -- 1 , with the Buffalo Bills the only objectors , to award the 2010 Super Bowl to New York contingent on the Jets winning the bid and completing construction of the stadium prior to 2010 . An inside view of MetLife Stadium during the first - ever preseason matchup between the Giants and Jets The MTA unanimously voted to sell the land to the Jets for approximately $210 million as the committee agreed that having the stadium would be beneficial in the long run . An angry Cablevision , community groups and transportation advocates were determined to derail the Jets ' attempts at building the stadium and two lawsuits challenging the construction of the stadium on environmental grounds were filed . Although confident they could secure the stadium , their hopes were dashed when Sheldon Silver and Joseph L. Bruno , both of whom held veto power over the stadium construction , refused to support the project , alleging it would hurt rather than help the development of the West Side . Defeated , the Jets agreed to enter a 50 -- 50 partnership with their rival , the Giants , to build a new stadium effectively agreeing to a 99 - year lease , which the Giants had signed earlier in the year , to remain in New Jersey . The stadium , known as MetLife Stadium , became the first in the history of the NFL to be jointly built by two franchises . The stadium , which is illuminated in different colors depending on which team is hosting a game , opened in April 2010 and saw the Jets and Giants open the stadium together in a preseason exhibition game . The Jets ' first regular season home game at the new stadium was held on September 13 , 2010 and was shown nationwide on Monday Night Football . New York lost to the Ravens 10 -- 9 . Team owners voted to have the stadium host Super Bowl XLVIII , held in 2014 . Rivalries New England Patriots Main article : Jets -- Patriots rivalry Since the inception of the American Football League , the Jets have maintained what is considered to be a marquee rivalry with the New England Patriots . The rivalry was relatively docile in its early years until 1966 when the Jets removed the Patriots , who had hopes of appearing in Super Bowl I , from playoff contention with a 38 -- 28 defeat at Shea Stadium . The Patriots returned the favor in 1985 when the Jets lost to New England 26 -- 14 in the wild card round ; the Patriots went on to Super Bowl XX where they were defeated by the Bears . The rivalry began to escalate and receive increased media attention in 1997 when a disgruntled Bill Parcells vacated his head coaching position with New England to accept the same position with New York . The following year , the Jets signed Pro Bowl running back Curtis Martin from the Patriots . After the Jets declined during Parcells ' third year , Parcells decided to resign as head coach . His assistant , Bill Belichick , resigned suddenly the next day to become the head coach of the Patriots instead . A critical turning point of the rivalry took place on September 23 , 2001 when Jets linebacker Mo Lewis tackled Drew Bledsoe , leaving the veteran with internal bleeding . This provided an opportunity for Tom Brady to take over as the starting quarterback and during his tenure , Brady successfully guided New England to five Super Bowl titles . In 2006 , Eric Mangini , an assistant under Belichick , left New England to join the Jets as their head coach . Under Mangini , the famous Spygate incident took place , further escalating tensions between both clubs . When Rex Ryan was hired as the team 's head coach , the rivalry further escalated due to an increased war of words between both teams . In January 2011 , the two met in a Divisional Round playoff game . The visiting Jets pulled a 28 -- 21 upset to advance to the AFC Championship Game , which they ultimately lost one week later to the Pittsburgh Steelers . Buffalo Bills Main article : Bills -- Jets rivalry The Jets and the Bills represent the same state ( New York ) , and this rivalry represents the differences between New York City and Western New York , where the Bills play . The teams are both charter members of the American Football League and have generally stayed in the same division since , even after the NFL and AFL merged . Aside from a few notable moments , such as a playoff game in 1981 , ex-Jets coach Rex Ryan coaching the Bills for two years , O.J. Simpson breaking an NFL rushing record against the Jets , and notable mishaps by quarterbacks Mark Sanchez and J.P. Losman , this has been an otherwise mellow rivalry . Miami Dolphins Main article : Dolphins -- Jets rivalry New York has maintained a rivalry with the Miami Dolphins since the Dolphins ' inception in 1966 . One of the most famous games in Jets history took place in 1994 when the Dolphins ran the Fake Spike play , giving them an improbable victory and halting the Jets ' momentum that season , serving as a precursor to the Jets ' next two unsuccessful years under Rich Kotite . The Jets went on to complete an improbable victory of their own on October 23 , 2000 in what is known as The Monday Night Miracle . The Jets , trailing the Dolphins 30 -- 7 at the end of the third quarter , rallied in the fourth quarter scoring 23 unanswered points , eventually winning in overtime with a 40 - yard John Hall kick . When Rex Ryan became New York 's head coach , there was an increased war of words between the clubs culminating with Ryan flashing an obscene gesture to heckling Dolphins fans in January 2010 . The rivalry continued between both teams when Sal Alosi , then the strength and conditioning coach of the Jets , tripped Dolphins cornerback Nolan Carroll . Carroll was not seriously injured and Alosi resigned nearly two months later . New York Giants Further information : Jets -- Giants rivalry The New York Jets previously maintained a high tension rivalry against their in - town counterparts , the New York Giants , that has since diminished due to the infrequency with which the teams meet in the regular season . The pinnacle of the rivalry came on August 17 , 1969 when both the Jets and Giants met for the first time , in a preseason game which was viewed as a `` turf war '' by both opponents . The Giants , considered a mediocre team at the time , were regarded as underdogs and were under much scrutiny by the media and their fans . Ultimately , the Jets bested their rival 37 -- 14 ; this would result in the firing of Giants coach Allie Sherman . The Jets met the Giants in 1988 during the final game of the regular season . The Jets , with a 7 -- 7 -- 1 record , had little to lose as their hopes for playoff contention had vanished . The Giants , however , were contending for a playoff spot and a victory would have secured their spot and their division title . Although the six point favorites , the Giants were unable to overcome the Jets defense which saw the Jets sack quarterback Phil Simms eight times . With the Jets ' victory and victories by the Rams and Eagles , the Giants were eliminated from playoff contention and the Jets gained respect in the eyes of many . In spite of the big sibling rivalry that has resulted in trash talk between the players , both teams have formed an unexpected and consequently strong partnership sharing Giants Stadium for 26 years and MetLife Stadium , a venture in which both teams own a 50 % share of the stadium . The rivalry regained much of its tension in the 2011 NFL season when the Jets and Giants met in Week 16 . Both teams needed a victory to keep their playoffs hope alive and there was significant trash talk between Rex Ryan and his players and many of the Giants in the weeks leading up to the game . Ryan and Giants running back Brandon Jacobs reportedly came close to blows after the game , a 29 -- 14 win by the Giants . The two teams met again on December 6 , 2015 , with the Jets winning 23 -- 20 in overtime . Logos and uniforms See also : Logos and uniforms of the New York Jets The Jets ' colors are hunter green and white . The team 's current uniform and primary logo , in use since 1998 , are modernized versions of the design used from 1965 to 1977 . The helmet is white with two parallel green stripes down the center , and a green facemask . The primary logo , which appears on each side of the helmet and on the jersey front by the player 's left shoulder , is a green oval with the word `` JETS '' in thick white sans - serif italics over `` NY '' in outline serif lettering , and a white miniature football graphic at bottom center . The jerseys have standard one - color block numerals and serif lettering , alternating stripes on the shoulders , and opposite - colored sleeves and TV numerals . The team uses both white pants with two parallel green stripes from hip to knee on each side , and green pants with white stripes . The team 's original uniforms , as the Titans of New York in 1960 , were navy blue with old gold numerals , gold pants with two parallel blue stripes on each side , and navy blue helmets with a single gold stripe down the center and no logo decals . The white jerseys had navy blue numerals . In 1961 , the Titans added UCLA - style shoulder stripes ( gold and white on the blue jerseys , gold and navy blue on the white jerseys ) , changed the pants striping to a blue stripe flanked by white stripes , and employed a somewhat brighter shade of gold . When the Titans became the Jets in 1963 , navy and gold were abandoned in favor of kelly green and white . The jerseys had opposite - colored sleeves with thick stripes on the shoulders and cuffs , above and below the TV numerals . The pants were white with two parallel green stripes on each side . The new helmets were white with a single green stripe down the center ; the logo on each side was a silhouette of a jet airplane in green , with the word `` JETS '' in thick white sans - serif italics along the fuselage . In 1964 , the single green stripe became two parallel stripes , and the jet - plane decal was replaced with a white football shape outlined in green , with the word `` JETS '' in thick green sans - serif italics in front of `` NY '' in green outline serif lettering , and a miniature football at bottom center . The decals were difficult to see from a distance ( or on television ) , so the colors were reversed in 1965 . This design remained largely unchanged through 1977 , apart from some variations to the numeral and lettering typefaces , the angle of the helmet decals , and adjustments to the shoulder and sleeve striping due to changes in NFL jersey tailoring and materials . The Jets ' first major design change was made for the 1978 season . The kelly green and white color scheme was retained ; the new helmets were solid green with white facemasks , and a stylized `` JETS '' wordmark in white on each side . The mark featured angular lettering and a silhouette of a modern jet airplane extending horizontally to the right from the top of the `` J '' above the `` ETS '' . The jerseys featured large TV numerals on the shoulders and two thick parallel stripes on the sleeves , while the pants had a single green stripe from hip to knee on each side . In 1990 , the Jets modified this design by adding thin black outlines to the numerals , lettering , stripes and helmet decals , changing the facemasks from white to black , and adding a set of green pants to be worn with the white jerseys . The Jets adopted their current uniform and logo design in 1998 . Green pants were added in 2002 , and have been worn with both the white and green jerseys . The Jets were the first NFL team to wear a `` throwback '' uniform , in 1993 for a home game against the Cincinnati Bengals celebrating the 25th anniversary of the 1968 championship team . The jersey and pants mimicked the 1963 -- 77 design , although the team wore its regular green helmets with a white - outlined version of the 1965 -- 77 logo decal . In 1994 , as part of the NFL 's 75th Anniversary celebration , the Jets wore both home and road versions of this uniform in select games , again using their regular green helmets with the 1965 -- 77 logo but with two parallel white stripes down the center . In 2007 , the team introduced a new `` throwback '' uniform , evoking the original Titans of New York and combining elements of the 1960 and 1961 -- 62 uniforms , with navy blue helmets and jerseys , old gold numerals and helmet stripes , gold and white shoulder stripes , and gold pants with blue and white stripes on each side . These uniforms appeared again in 2008 , 2009 and 2011 , with a white jersey variation also appearing in 2009 as part of the NFL 's celebration of the American Football League 's 50th anniversary . Cheerleading squad JetBlue honors the NY Jets with its green plane . Main article : Jets Flight Crew The team originally named the Jets Flag Crew was established in 2006 . In 2007 , the group underwent an expansion and was appropriately renamed the Jets Flight Crew . The squad regularly performs choreographed routines during the team 's home contests . Auditions have been held annually since their inception to attract new members . The Jets Junior Flight Crew was established in 2010 offering children the opportunity to train with the Flight Crew while improving their `` talent and abilities in a non-competitive environment .

Ewbank is also recognized based upon his achievements with the Baltimore Colts , coaching them to NFL championships in 1958 and 1959 . Riggins is recognized primarily for his seasons with the Washington Redskins ( 1976 -- 1979 , 1981 -- 1985 ) , as is Monk ( 1980 -- 1993 ) , who won three Super Bowl championships with Washington . Lott is in the Hall of Fame primarily for his exploits as a member of the San Francisco 49ers . Baugh and Turner are recognized based upon their achievements as players with other teams , rather than their head coaching stints with the Jets . While Parcells reversed the fortunes of the Jets , he had major impact for the New York Giants , coaching them to two Super Bowl victories . Wolf only had a brief stint with the Jets between 1990 and 1991 , while most of his major contributions occurred as an executive and player personnel director with the Oakland Raiders ( 1963 -- 1974 , 1979 -- 1989 ) , and later as General Manager of the Green Bay Packers ( 1991 -- 2001 ) . Favre only played one season as a member of the Jets in 2008 , between most of his career with the Packers ( 1992 -- 2007 ) and his last two NFL seasons with the Minnesota Vikings ( 2009 -- 2010 ) .

The first and second teams were determined by a panel of members of the AFL 's Hall of Fame Board of Selectors : First Team Joe Namath ( QB ) Don Maynard ( WR ) Gerry Philbin ( DE ) Weeb Ewbank ( Coach ) Second Team Winston Hill ( T ) Larry Grantham ( LB ) Jim Turner ( PK ) Art Powell ( WR ) Bob Talamini ( G ) All - time four Decade team New York announced their official All - Time Four Decade team in 2003 which , was determined by the fans of the team .

Perhaps the most famous of the Jets ' first round picks came in 1965 when they selected Alabama quarterback Joe Namath who boosted the Jets into the national spotlight with his boisterous personality and lifestyle . His physical talents on the field helped improve the Jets ' fortunes , leading them to victory over the Baltimore Colts in Super Bowl III . Though injuries hampered the latter part of Namath 's career , he is best remembered , according to former teammate John Dockery , as `` a guy that came along and broke a lot of the conventions . '' Namath was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 1985 . Perhaps one of the most disappointing players in Jets history was running back Blair Thomas . Thomas , who averaged 5.4 yards per carry at Penn State , was an intriguing prospect the Jets were interested in utilizing to help their cumbersome offense . Confident in their decision , the Jets drafted Thomas with the second overall pick in 1990 , expecting him to be a solid player for years to come . Thomas ran for only 620 yards in 1990 , and failed to meet the high expectations . By the time Thomas left the team as an unrestricted free agent in 1993 , he had rushed for 2,009 yards and only five touchdowns . The 2008 first round pick , defensive lineman Vernon Gholston , followed a similar path , failing to record a sack during his three - year tenure with the team . An infamous pick was Kyle Brady in 1995 , who was drafted ahead of Warren Sapp , one of many disappointments during Rich Kotite 's tenure as coach . However , in the same draft , the Jets did better with Hugh Douglas . In the 2013 and 2014 seasons , one of the Jets ' strongest units has been their defensive line , manned by 1st Round selections Muhammad Wilkerson ( 2011 ) and Sheldon Richardson ( 2013 ) . In 2013 , Wilkerson ended the season with 10.5 sacks , matching the last Jets player to have more than 10 sacks in a single season , John Abraham in 2005 . Also that year , Richardson was honored with an award from the AP for Defensive Rookie of the Year . The Jets ' run defense was stout with all three in the line up , finishing fifth as a team in rushing yards allowed in 2014 .

The season was ordered in December 2016 , and filmed in New York City from June to November 2017 .

Brown as Cornell `` Cottonmouth '' Stokes Ninja Devoe as Aisha Axton Cassandra Freeman as Patricia Wilson Sedly Bloomfield as Joel Spurlock Production ( edit ) Development ( edit ) In January 2015 , Netflix CCO Ted Sarandos stated the series was `` eligible to go into multiple seasons for sure '' and Netflix would look at `` how well ( they ) are addressing both the Marvel fanbase but also the broader fanbase '' in terms of determining if additional seasons would be appropriate . In July 2015 , Sarandos said some of the Defenders series would `` selectively have multiple seasons as they come out of the gate . '' Regarding a second season , showrunner Cheo Hodari Coker stated he had `` a few ideas '' , including possibly exploring the `` Hero for Hire '' aspect of Luke Cage , though noted he was not taking `` any of this for granted '' in terms of feeling a second season renewal from Netflix was guaranteed . Actor Mike Colter also felt `` Heroes for Hire '' could be explored in future seasons , as well as further exploring Cage 's lifestyle change regarding his relationship with Jessica Jones and introducing the couple 's daughter . In December 2016 , Netflix renewed the series for a second season , of 13 episodes . Coker compared the season to A Tribe Called Quest 's second album The Low End Theory saying , their first album People 's Instinctive Travels and the Paths of Rhythm `` was great , but then Low End Theory was the record that everyone says ... when they think of A Tribe Called Quest taking it to the next level . That 's my hope for season 2 , is that we have some of the similar sounds , but we go in a deeper direction . '' Coker also noted that music would continue to be an important element for the season and that Harlem would still be `` at the heart and its center '' for the series . Writing ( edit ) In July 2017 , Colter said the writing for the season was different from the first , because `` we know the show now . We know the world that we 're in and we know sort of what works and what does n't work and we 're just gon na double down on that stuff , so look forward to a very exciting and very relevant and pop culture - heavy show . '' He added that after the first season and the crossover miniseries The Defenders , Cage would have `` a whole new outlook on life '' and would not be dealing with the judicial system anymore . Coker explained that the storyline for the season did not come from any particular iteration of the comics , and instead was based on the characters that appear : `` who is Luke Cage and getting much deeper into that , but also finding out different things about Mariah Dillard , also finding out things about Misty Knight , '' including getting her mechanical arm `` and what that entails from an emotional standpoint . '' In particular , the new villains introduced for the season and their abilities impacted the story in terms of `` what that represents against Luke '' . Each episode of the season is named after a Pete Rock & CL Smooth song , just as Coker named each episode of the first season after a Gang Starr song . Casting ( edit ) Colter returns to star as Cage , along with Simone Missick as Misty Knight , Rosario Dawson as Claire Temple , Alfre Woodard as Mariah Dillard , and Theo Rossi as Hernan `` Shades '' Alvarez . In July 2017 , Marvel announced the casting of Mustafa Shakir as John McIver , and Gabrielle Dennis as Tilda Johnson . Thomas Q. Jones reprises his role as Comanche in the season , along with Danny Johnson as Benjamin Donovan , and Justin Swain as Mark Bailey . In October 2017 , it was revealed that Finn Jones would be reprising his role as Danny Rand / Iron Fist in the season . Colter explained that there had been interest from fans to see more of the previously established relationship between Cage and Jessica Jones , but for this season they `` went out on a limb '' and decided to give to the fans of the `` Heroes for Hire '' instead by having Cage and Rand team up for part of the season . He added that Finn Jones `` will bring some fresh blood in the new season '' . Jessica Henwick also reprises her Iron Fist role , appearing as Colleen Wing . Following the death of Reg E. Cathey in February 2018 , Marvel revealed that his final performance was as Luke Cage 's father James Lucas in this season . The character appeared briefly in the first season portrayed by an unnamed actor . In March 2018 , Annabella Sciorra was announced to have been cast in the `` key role '' of Rosalie Carbone . The next month , Antonique Smith joined the cast as Detective Nandi Tyler , a longtime rival of Misty Knight . Additionally , Elden Henson reprises his role as Foggy Nelson from previous Marvel / Netflix series . The season also features cameo appearances by ESPN personalities Michael Smith , Jemele Hill , and Stephen A. Smith , and New York Jets head coach Todd Bowles , doubling as the head coach of the fictional Harlem Jets . As Coker is a sports fan , he decided to include the ESPN personalities and was partially motivated to reach out to Michael Smith and Hill out of `` professional admiration '' . Coker noted the additional difficulty in getting the duo to appear because of Marvel 's confidentiality requirements , meaning they could not see the scripts beforehand . Dialogue was written for the personalities , though each improvised some of it to make it sound like their own voice . Before reaching out to Bowles , Coker was going to ask David Shaw , head coach of the Stanford University Cardinal football team , since Shaw and Coker were college roommates , but the timing did not work out , as Shaw was recruiting students on the other side of the country . Coker then approached former Jets head coach Herm Edwards , since Edwards had one of Coker 's `` favorite coach meltdowns of all time '' , but Edwards also could not coordinate an appearance , resulting Coker approaching Bowles . Writer , author , and educator Jelani Cobb also cameos in the season , appearing as himself on a talk show speaking to Luke Cage 's ability to fix Harlem . Cobb , who has `` an ambivalent relationship '' to the character of Luke Cage , `` went back and forth '' on whether he would appear in the season . He noted , `` I really like the show and thought it 'd be a fun thing to do , but I also think that sometimes it 's important for journalists to keep a separate line from what they 're actually doing versus the imaginary stuff that they 're doing , especially in the era of fake news . '' Cobb discussed the potential appearances with `` some of the people I respect in the field '' for their opinion , and after gaining their approval , agreed to appear . Filming ( edit ) Principal photography began by June 10 , 2017 , under the series ' working title Tiara . Production wrapped that November . Music ( edit ) Music is at the center of every decision I make for the show , probably to the point where it annoys most people . -- Showrunner Cheo Hodari Coker on his use of music in Luke Cage In July 2017 , Colter said that the second season would have `` another feel to it '' in terms of the music , praising the season 's musical guests and explaining that he and Coker had chosen a `` certain type '' of music for the season after listening to it at a birthday party and agreeing that there had `` not been one bad song '' played . Coker later explained that the season would explore the roots of hip - hop with blues and reggae , after the first season introduced hip - hop to the MCU . He added that the season would explore `` the entire diaspora of black music '' along with different cultures . Adrian Younge and Ali Shaheed Muhammad again composed the score for the season , working out of Younge 's studio Linear Labs . Their music for the season included a `` 50 - minute epic '' for one of the episodes . Coker described the pair as being as `` important to the success of the show as anyone in the cast , anyone directing , anyone writing , producing , period . '' Coker wanted to have live musical performances in the season again after the first , and hoped that some musicians who had turned him down for the first season would be happy to join the second after getting to see the series . He noted that the idea of performing in the series was not a `` home run in terms of the music community '' during the first season , and he had to call in a lot of favors from his time as a music journalist to get the performers who did appear . For the second season , he was able to show footage of the first season performances as well as point out where musicians who performed on the show received `` immediate streaming bumps '' from fans discovering them through the series . With Coker subsequently having his `` choice of acts '' , the season includes live performance from Faith Evans , returning from the first season , along with Joi & D - Nice , Gary Clark Jr. , Esperanza Spalding , Christone `` Kingfish '' Ingram , Ghostface Killah , Stephen Marley , Jadakiss , KRS - One , and Rakim . The latter wrote an original song for the series , which he performs in the season finale . The season also includes music from Nina Simone and Mobb Deep . Marvel Cinematic Universe tie - ins ( edit ) Following the death of Captain Ridenhour , high - ranking detective Brigid O'Reilly is mentioned as having recently moved to New Orleans , in reference to that character 's role in the series Cloak & Dagger . Release ( edit ) The second season of Luke Cage was released on June 22 , 2018 , on the streaming service Netflix worldwide , in Ultra HD 4K and high dynamic range . Marketing ( edit ) An advanced screening of the season was hosted by Spotify , Netflix , and the Kennedy Center on June 19 , followed by an after - party featuring musical performances by KRS - One , Younge and Muhammad , and surprise guests . The season had its red carpet premiere in New York City on June 21 , 2018 . Critical response ( edit ) The review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes reported a 84 % approval rating with an average rating of 7.33 / 10 based on 49 reviews . The website 's critical consensus reads , `` Marvel 's Luke Cage surpasses the successes of its debut season with a satisfyingly complex narrative and a solid ensemble cast led by Alfre Woodard 's standout performance as the archvillainess Black Mariah . '' Metacritic , which uses a weighted average , assigned a score of 64 out of 100 based on 13 critics , indicating `` generally favorable reviews '' . Awarding the `` excellent '' season four stars out of five , Olly Richards of Empire said , `` Most of Marvel 's superhero series suffer a mid-season sag , without enough plot to fill their episode quota . This season never succumbs to that because it 's not rooted in plot but character . There are episodes where little happens in terms of event , but characters deepen and crack , becoming less who they want to be and more who they have to be , even Luke . Luke Cage could now remove any superhero elements almost entirely and still function as a series . '' David Betancourt of The Washington Post felt the season was `` spectacular , full of unforgettable performances , and has not one but two top - notch villains '' . Though he felt the season started slow , the later episodes are `` where the magic happens '' . Alison Keene at Collder felt the `` last few episodes are fantastic -- it just takes a lot to get there . '' Keene also felt `` There are plenty of things this season does well , really well , but there is so much filler and narrative dragging of feet in between that it 's hard to recommend it outright , '' awarding the season three stars out of four . CNN 's Brian Lowry was more critical of the season , feeling the season was `` weaker '' than the first , noting it was `` not bad , overall , but still experiencing the equivalent of a sophomore slump . '' Similar to Lowry , Alan Sepinwall at Rolling Stone gave the season two stars out of four , noting the 13 - episode season had `` only three or four episodes ' worth of story at best '' .

Y verify ( what is ? ) Infobox references Salicylic acid ( from Latin salix , willow tree ) is a lipophilic monohydroxybenzoic acid , a type of phenolic acid , and a beta hydroxy acid ( BHA ) . It has the formula C H O . This colorless crystalline organic acid is widely used in organic synthesis and functions as a plant hormone . It is derived from the metabolism of salicin . In addition to serving as an important active metabolite of aspirin ( acetylsalicylic acid ) , which acts in part as a prodrug to salicylic acid , it is probably best known for its use as a key ingredient in topical anti-acne products . The salts and esters of salicylic acid are known as salicylates . The medicinal part of the willow tree is the inner bark . It is on the WHO Model List of Essential Medicines , the most important medications needed in a basic health system .

As such it is used to treat warts , psoriasis , dandruff , acne , ringworm , and ichthyosis . As with other hydroxy acids , salicylic acid is a key ingredient in many skin - care products for the treatment of seborrhoeic dermatitis , acne , psoriasis , calluses , corns , keratosis pilaris , acanthosis nigricans , ichthyosis and warts . Manufacturing ( edit ) Salicylic acid is used in the production of other pharmaceuticals , including 4 - aminosalicylic acid sandulpiride landetimide ( via Salethamide ) . Salicylic acid was one of the original starting materials for making acetylsalicylic acid ( aspirin ) in 1897 . Bismuth subsalicylate , a salt of bismuth and salicylic acid , is the active ingredient in stomach relief aids such as Pepto - Bismol , is the main ingredient of Kaopectate and `` displays anti-inflammatory action ( due to salicylic acid ) and also acts as an antacid and mild antibiotic '' . Other derivatives include methyl salicylate used as a liniment to soothe joint and muscle pain and choline salicylate used topically to relieve the pain of mouth ulcers . Chemistry ( edit ) Salicylic acid has the formula C H ( OH ) COOH , where the OH group is ortho to the carboxyl group . It is also known as 2 - hydroxybenzoic acid . It is poorly soluble in water ( 2 g / L at 20 ° C ) . Aspirin ( acetylsalicylic acid or ASA ) can be prepared by the esterification of the phenolic hydroxyl group of salicylic acid with the acetyl group from acetic anhydride or acetyl chloride . Salicylic acid can also be prepared using the Kolbe - Schmitt reaction . Other Uses ( edit ) Salicylic acid is used as a food preservative , a bactericidal and an antiseptic . Sodium salicylate is a useful phosphor in the vacuum ultraviolet , with nearly flat quantum efficiency for wavelengths between 10 and 100 nm . It fluoresces in the blue at 420 nm . It is easily prepared on a clean surface by spraying a saturated solution of the salt in methanol followed by evaporation . Safety ( edit ) Burns ( edit ) As a topical agent and as a beta - hydroxy acid ( and unlike alpha - hydroxy acids ) , salicylic acid is capable of penetrating and breaking down fats and lipids , causing moderate chemical burns of the skin at very high concentrations . It may damage the lining of pores if the solvent is alcohol , acetone or an oil . Over-the - counter limits are set at 2 % for topical preparations expected to be left on the face and 3 % for those expected to be washed off , such as acne cleansers or shampoo . 17 % and 27 % salicylic acid , which is sold for wart removal , should not be applied to the face and should not be used for acne treatment . Even for wart removal , such a solution should be applied once or twice a day -- more frequent use may lead to an increase in side - effects without an increase in efficacy . Hearing ( edit ) When ingested , salicylic acid has a possible ototoxic effect by inhibiting prestin . It can induce transient hearing loss in zinc - deficient rats . An injection of salicylic acid induced hearing loss , while an injection of zinc reversed the hearing loss . An injection of magnesium in the zinc - deficient rats did not reverse the induced hearing loss . Pregnancy ( edit ) No studies examine topical salicylic acid in pregnancy . Oral salicylic acid is not associated with an increase in malformations if used during the first trimester , but in late pregnancy has been associated with bleeding , especially intracranial bleeding . The risks of aspirin late in pregnancy are probably not relevant for a topical exposure to salicylic acid , even late in the pregnancy , because of its low systemic levels . Topical salicylic acid is common in many over-the - counter dermatological agents and the lack of adverse reports suggests a low teratogenic potential . Overdose ( edit ) Salicylic acid overdose can lead to salicylate intoxication , which often presents clinically in a state of metabolic acidosis with compensatory respiratory alkalosis . In patients presenting with an acute overdose , a 16 % morbidity rate and a 1 % mortality rate are observed . Allergy ( edit ) Some people are hypersensitive to salicylic acid and related compounds . Sun exposure ( edit ) The United States Food and Drug Administration ( FDA ) recommends the use of sun protection when using skincare products containing salicylic acid ( or any other BHA ) on sun - exposed skin areas . Reye 's Syndrome ( edit ) Data support an association between exposure to salicylic acid and Reye 's Syndrome . The National Reye 's Syndrome Foundation cautions against the use of these and other substances similar to aspirin on children and adolescents . Epidemiological research associated the development of Reye 's Syndrome and the use of aspirin for treating the symptoms of influenza - like illnesses , chicken pox , colds , etc . The U.S. Surgeon General , the FDA , the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the American Academy of Pediatrics recommend that aspirin and combination products containing aspirin not be given to children under 19 years of age during episodes of fever - causing illnesses . Mechanism of action ( edit ) Salicylic acid works through several different pathways . It produces its anti-inflammatory effects via suppressing the activity of cyclooxygenase ( COX ) , an enzyme that is responsible for the production of pro-inflammatory mediators such as the prostaglandins . It does this not by direct inhibition of COX like most other non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs ( NSAIDs ) but instead by suppression of the expression of the enzyme through a mechanism not yet understood . Salicylic acid activates adenosine monophosphate - activated protein kinase ( AMPK ) and this action may play a role in the anticancer effects of the compound and its prodrugs aspirin and salsalate . The antidiabetic effects of salicylic acid are likely mediated by AMPK activation primarily through allosteric conformational change that increases levels of phosphorylation . Salicylic acid also uncouples oxidative phosphorylation , which leads to increased ADP : ATP and AMP : ATP ratios in the cell . As a consequence , salicylic acid may alter AMPK activity and work as an anti-diabetic by altering the energy status of the cell . AMPK knockout mice display an anti-diabetic effect , demonstrating at least one additional , yet unidentified action . Salicylic acid regulates c - Myc level at both transcriptional and post-transcription levels . Inhibition of c - Myc may be an important pathway by which aspirin exerts an anti-cancer effect , decreasing the occurrence of cancer in epithelial tissues . Plant hormone ( edit ) Salicylic acid ( SA ) is a phenolic phytohormone and is found in plants with roles in plant growth and development , photosynthesis , transpiration , ion uptake and transport . SA also induces specific changes in leaf anatomy and chloroplast structure . SA is involved in endogenous signaling , mediating in plant defense against pathogens . It plays a role in the resistance to pathogens by inducing the production of pathogenesis - related proteins . It is involved in the systemic acquired resistance ( SAR ) in which a pathogenic attack on one part of the plant induces resistance in other parts . The signal can also move to nearby plants by salicylic acid being converted to the volatile ester , methyl salicylate . Production ( edit ) Salicylic acid is biosynthesized from the amino acid phenylalanine . In Arabidopsis thaliana it can be synthesized via a phenylalanine - independent pathway . Sodium salicylate is commercially prepared by treating sodium phenolate ( the sodium salt of phenol ) with carbon dioxide at high pressure ( 100 atm ) and high temperature ( 390 K ) -- a method known as the Kolbe - Schmitt reaction . Acidification of the product with sulfuric acid gives salicylic acid : It can also be prepared by the hydrolysis of aspirin ( acetylsalicylic acid ) or methyl salicylate ( oil of wintergreen ) with a strong acid or base . History ( edit ) Main article : History of aspirin White willow ( Salix alba ) is a natural source of salicylic acid Hippocrates , Galen , Pliny the Elder and others knew that willow bark could ease pain and reduce fevers . It was used in Europe and China to treat these conditions . This remedy is mentioned in texts from ancient Egypt , Sumer and Assyria . The Cherokee and other Native Americans used an infusion of the bark for fever and other medicinal purposes . In 2014 , archaeologists identified traces of salicylic acid on 7th century pottery fragments found in east central Colorado . The Reverend Edward Stone , a vicar from Chipping Norton , Oxfordshire , England , noted in 1763 that the bark of the willow was effective in reducing a fever . The active extract of the bark , called salicin , after the Latin name for the white willow ( Salix alba ) , was isolated and named by the German chemist Johann Andreas Buchner in 1828 . A larger amount of the substance was isolated in 1829 by Henri Leroux , a French pharmacist . Raffaele Piria , an Italian chemist , was able to convert the substance into a sugar and a second component , which on oxidation becomes salicylic acid . Salicylic acid was also isolated from the herb meadowsweet ( Filipendula ulmaria , formerly classified as Spiraea ulmaria ) by German researchers in 1839 . While their extract was somewhat effective , it also caused digestive problems such as gastric irritation , bleeding , diarrhea and even death when consumed in high doses . Dietary sources ( edit ) Salicylic acid occurs in plants as free salicylic acid and its carboxylated esters and phenolic glycosides . Several studies suggest that humans metabolize salicylic acid in measurable quantities from these plants ; one study found that vegetarians not taking aspirin had urinary levels of salicylic acid roughly 5 % those of patients taking 75 mg of aspirin per day , while the non-vegetarians had levels roughly one - third that of vegetarians . Dietary sources of salicylic acid and their interaction with drugs such as aspirin have not been well studied . Ongoing clinical studies of patients with aspirin - induced asthma have shown some benefits of a diet low in salicylic acid . Dietary salicylic acid may be partially responsible for the health benefits of a plant - based diet . Studies on the salicylic content of foods are sparse and have produced distinctly different results , creating controversy . Possible causes for the discrepancies include uncontrolled and often unreported factors such as cultivation area , crop species , and harvest methods , as well as inherent issues with the studies such as poor extraction and measurement procedures and limited or low - accuracy equipment . A recent study using best practice measurement methodology significantly reduced intra-sample measurement variability but has not yet been replicated or extended . Some results have been consistently reported . Meat , poultry , fish , eggs , oils , dairy products , sugar , cereals , and flour all have little to no salicylates . Measurable levels of salicylic acid have been found in fruits , vegetables , herbs , spices , nuts , and teas .

"Salicylic acid (from Latin salix, willow tree) is a lipophilic monohydroxybenzoic acid, a type of phenolic acid, and a beta hydroxy acid (BHA). It has the formula C7H6O3. This colorless crystalline organic acid is widely used in organic synthesis and functions as a plant hormone. It is derived from the metabolism of salicin. In addition to serving as an important active metabolite of aspirin (acetylsalicylic acid), which acts in part as a prodrug to salicylic acid, it is probably best known for its use as a key ingredient in topical anti-acne products. The salts and esters of salicylic acid are known as salicylates. The medicinal part of the willow tree is the inner bark."

1116203971355719096 | List of Presidents of the United States by time in office | List of presidents of the United States by time in office - wikipedia List of presidents of the United States by time in office Jump to : navigation , search Franklin Delano Roosevelt Longest presidency 4,422 days 1933 -- 1945 William Henry Harrison Shortest presidency 31 days 1841 This is a list of Presidents of the United States by time in office . The basis of the list is the difference between dates ; if counted by number of calendar days all the figures would be one greater , with the exception of Grover Cleveland , who would receive two days . Since 1789 , there have been 44 people sworn into office as President of the United States , and 45 presidencies , as Grover Cleveland served two non-consecutive terms and is counted chronologically as both the 22nd and 24th president . Of the individuals elected president , four ( William Henry Harrison , Zachary Taylor , Warren G. Harding , and Franklin D. Roosevelt ) died of natural causes while in office , four ( Abraham Lincoln , James A. Garfield , William McKinley , and John F. Kennedy ) were assassinated , and one ( Richard Nixon ) resigned . William Henry Harrison spent the shortest time in office , and Franklin D. Roosevelt spent the longest . He is the only president to have served more than two terms . Following ratification of the 22nd Amendment in 1951 , presidents -- beginning with Dwight D. Eisenhower -- have been ineligible for election to a third term or for election to a second full term after serving more than two years of a term to which some other person was elected president . The amendment contained a grandfather clause that explicitly exempted the incumbent president -- then Harry S. Truman -- from the new term limitations .

The 1937 presidential inauguration was the first to take place on the new date . As a result , Franklin D. Roosevelt 's first term in office ( 1933 -- 1937 ) was only 7003141800000000000 ♠ 1,418 days long , 1 month and 12 days shorter than a normal term . ^ Jump up to : Died in office Jump up ^ Did not seek re-election in 1876 . He sought a non-consecutive third term in 1880 , but was defeated for renomination at the Republican National Convention . Jump up ^ Each of Grover Cleveland 's two non-consecutive terms in office was 1,461 days long . ^ Jump up to : Incumbent president who sought a second term but was defeated in a quadrennial presidential election . ^ Jump up to : Of years evenly divisible by 100 , only those evenly divisible by 400 are leap years . The years 1800 and 1900 are divisible by 100 , but not by 400 . Thus , John Adams 's term and McKinley 's first term did not include a 366 - day leap year , so those terms were one day shorter than a normal full term . The year 2000 is divisible by 400 and so did include one , thus Clinton 's second term was not shorter than his first . Jump up ^ Due to logistical delays , Washington 's first inauguration was held 1 month and 26 days after the scheduled start of operations of the new government under the Constitution . As a result , his first term was only 7003140400000000000 ♠ 1,404 days long , and was the shortest term for a U.S. president who neither died in office nor resigned . ^ Jump up to : Succeeded to presidency .

A common backyard species , it is popular as a pet , and is the state amphibian of Georgia and Louisiana . Contents 1 Description 2 Distribution and habitat 3 Behavior 3.1 Breeding 3.2 Feeding 4 As pets 5 References 6 External links Description ( edit ) The frog is green , medium - sized , and up to 6 cm ( 2.5 in ) long . Their bodies are usually green in shades ranging from bright yellowish - olive to lime green . The color can change depending on lighting or temperature . Small patches of gold or white may occur on the skin , and they may also have a white , pale yellow , or cream - colored lines running from their jaws or upper lips to their groins . They have smooth skin and large toe pads . Their abdomens are pale yellow to white . Males have wrinkled throats ( indicating the vocal pouch ) and are slightly smaller than females . With distended vocal sac Distribution and habitat ( edit ) These frogs are found in the central and southeastern United States , with a geographic range from the Eastern Shore of Virginia to southeast Florida , with populations as far west as central Texas , and as far north as Maryland and Delaware . The frogs are considered monotypic , but clinal variation has been observed from Florida north along the Atlantic coastal plain . This possibly may be attributed `` to the result of strong selection and / or drift . '' Green tree frogs `` prefer habitats with plentiful floating vegetation , grasses , and cattails '' and are often found in `` small ponds , large lakes , marshes , and streams also can be found at night in a backyard swimming pool . Behavior ( edit ) Play media Male Hyla cinerea calling Because these frogs are small and easily frightened , they often do not do well with frequent handling . Some specimens do seem to tolerate occasional handling , however , so handling frequency should be determined on an individual basis . The little frogs tend to be nocturnal , and in captivity they will be the most active once the lights are off . Males frequently call most of the year , especially after being misted in the tank . Breeding ( edit ) Play media Pair breeding Tadpole Metamorph American green tree frogs vary in color . Most American green tree frog females breed once per year , but some have multiple clutches in a single mating season . In a Florida population , `` advertisement calls of males were documented between March and September and pairs in amplexus were observed between April and August . '' In the Florida population , the average number of offspring in a single clutch was observed to be about 400 eggs . Eggs take between four and 14 days to hatch , with an average of five days . According to the Animal Diversity Web at the University of Michigan Museum of Zoology , `` Female size was positively correlated with clutch size , but after the initial clutch , the number of eggs nearly always decreased . '' Breeding is known to be strongly influenced by day length , temperature , and precipitation . '' While `` the relative influence of these factors is not well understood , '' it is known as the frogs generally breed following rainfall , and males call more frequently as temperature and day length increase . Some evidence demonstrates the length of the breeding season length is correlated with latitude , with season length decreasing as latitude increases due to temperature limitations . Males use a distinct advertisement call , `` noticeably different than ( sic ) release or warning calls , '' to attract mates . Once a mate has been attracted , the pair begins amplexus , in which `` the male tightly grasps onto the female to bring their cloacal openings close together for fertilization . '' Males are polygynous , generally seeking to mate with as many females as they can attract . In southern Florida , the Cuban tree frog ( Osteopilus septentrionalis ) is an invasive species that has a similar call to the green tree frog in regards to timing and pitch . A study found that their calls compete acoustically with each other due to their similarity which limits communication space . In order to compete with the Cuban tree frog , green tree frogs modified their call to be shorter , louder , and more frequent so that potential mates have better chances of detecting the call . American green tree frogs show no parental investment except for mating and egg - laying . Feeding ( edit ) American green tree frogs are insectivores , usually consuming flies , mosquitoes , and other small insects such as crickets . One study suggested the frog selects prey not by its size , but according to its activity level , with the most active prey being the most frequently eaten . The same study showed `` nearly 90 % of Hyla cinerea prey were actively pursued , '' with the other 10 % being `` insects walking or close enough to be snatched up by the frog 's tongue . '' As pets ( edit ) The frogs are popular pets because of their small size , appearance , and the undemanding conditions needed to take care of them . Unlike many amphibians , they do not require artificial heating . They need a large ( at least ten - gallon ) terrarium and do best with a substrate that will hold some humidity , such as commercial shredded bark or coconut husk bedding , or untreated topsoil on the floor of their terrarium . Tree frogs are arboreal , so the height on the tank is more important than the length . A variety of things for climbing , such as plants or branches , should be in the habitat . A shallow water dish should be included . Captive frogs should not be handled any more than necessary ; when necessary , clean gloves should be worn .

Berlin had previously been chosen to host the 1916 Summer Olympics , which were subsequently cancelled due to the First World War . The 1936 Games had 3,963 athletes from 49 National Olympic Committees ( NOCs ) participating in a total of 129 events in 19 sports . This was the highest number of nations represented at any Games to date . Athletes from 32 NOCs won medals , of which 21 secured at least one gold medal . As a result , 17 NOCs were left without any medal . The host NOC , Germany , received a total of 89 medals , a record for a united German team , although East Germany broke that record in 1976 , 1980 and 1988 . While a boycott by the United States was suggested due to Germany 's National Socialist regime , it was not implemented as the President of the United States Olympic Committee , Avery Brundage , felt that politics should be kept separate from sport . The other NOCs which threatened to boycott the Games for the same reason were the United Kingdom , France , Sweden , Czechoslovakia and the Netherlands . An alternative People 's Olympiad was planned to take place in Barcelona , Spain , but was cancelled at the last moment following the outbreak of the Spanish Civil War after the athletes had already begun to arrive . The civil war also meant that Spain 's NOC did not compete at the 1936 Games . While no NOCs ended up boycotting the Games on anti-Nazi grounds , a multinational Jewish - led boycott of the Games took place , with individual athletes refusing to take part . Also , the IAAFs ' refusal to allow athletes from Northern Ireland to compete for the Irish Olympic Council in athletics events led the Irish Free State to boycott . Marjorie Gestring became the youngest Olympic champion ever at the age of 13 , winning a gold medal in the women 's 3 meter springboard . As Korea was under Japanese rule , Korean athletes who hoped to compete in the Games were required to qualify for the Japanese team . Sohn Kee - chung , competing as Kitei Son , won gold in the marathon , which made him Japan 's first gold medalist at these Games and the first Korean ever to win a medal . His fellow countryman Nam Sung - yong won the bronze medal in the same event . For the first time since the 1908 Games , the United States did not lead the medal table , finishing second . Medal table ( edit ) Ibolya Csák , gold medallist for Hungary in the women 's high jump Tilly Fleischer , gold medallist for Germany in the women 's javelin The ranking in this table is based on information provided by the International Olympic Committee ( IOC ) and is consistent with IOC convention in its published medal tables . By default , the table is ordered by the number of gold medals the athletes from a National Olympic Committee have won ( a nation is represented at a Games by the associated National Olympic Committee ) . The number of silver medals is taken into consideration next and then the number of bronze medals . If NOCs are still tied , equal ranking is given and they are listed alphabetically by IOC country code . A dead heat in the lightweight section of the weightlifting competition resulted in gold medals being awarded to both Austria 's Robert Fein and Egypt 's Anwar Mesbah , and resulted in a silver medal not being awarded for that event . A dead heat for third place in the floor competition of the gymnastic events resulted in bronze medals going to both Germany 's Konrad Frey and Eugen Mack of Switzerland . This resulted in 130 gold and bronze medals being awarded , but only 128 silver medals .

George Brinton McClellan ( December 3 , 1826 -- October 29 , 1885 ) was an American soldier , civil engineer , railroad executive , and politician . A graduate of West Point , McClellan served with distinction during the Mexican -- American War ( 1846 -- 1848 ) , and later left the Army to work in railroads until the outbreak of the American Civil War ( 1861 - 1865 ) . Early in the war , McClellan was appointed to the rank of major general and played an important role in raising a well - trained and organized army , which would become the Army of the Potomac in the Eastern Theater ; he served a brief period ( November 1861 to March 1862 ) as general - in - chief of the United States Army / Union Army . Although McClellan was meticulous in his planning and preparations , these very characteristics hampered his ability to challenge aggressive opponents in a fast - moving battlefield environment . He chronically overestimated the strength of enemy units and was reluctant to apply principles of mass , frequently leaving large portions of his army unengaged at decisive points . McClellan organized and led the Union army in the Peninsula Campaign in southeastern Virginia from March through July 1862 . It was the first large - scale offensive in the Eastern Theater . Making an amphibious clockwise turning movement around the Confederate States Army in northern Virginia , McClellan 's forces turned west to move up the Virginia Peninsula , between the James and York Rivers landing from the Chesapeake Bay , with the Confederate capital , Richmond , as their objective . Initially , McClellan was somewhat successful against the equally cautious General Joseph E. Johnston , but the military emergence of General Robert E. Lee to command the Army of Northern Virginia turned the subsequent Seven Days Battles into a partial Union defeat . General McClellan failed to maintain the trust of 16th President Abraham Lincoln . He did not trust his commander - in - chief and was privately derisive of him . He was removed from command in November after failing to decisively pursue Lee 's Army following the tactically inconclusive but strategic Union victory at the Battle of Antietam outside Sharpsburg , Maryland and never received another field command . McClellan went on to become the unsuccessful Democratic Party nominee in the 1864 presidential election against Lincoln 's reelection . The effectiveness of his campaign was damaged when he repudiated his party 's platform , which promised an end to the war and negotiations with the southern Confederacy . He served as the 24th Governor of New Jersey from 1878 to 1881 . He eventually became a writer , and vigorously defended his Civil War conduct . Most modern authorities have assessed McClellan as a poor battlefield general . Some historians view him as a highly capable commander whose reputation suffered unfairly at the hands of pro-Lincoln partisans who made him a scapegoat for the Union 's military setbacks . After the war , subsequent commanding general and 18th President Ulysses S. Grant was asked for his opinion of McClellan as a general ; he replied , `` McClellan is to me one of the mysteries of the war .

His father 's family was of Scottish heritage . His mother was Elizabeth Sophia Steinmetz Brinton McClellan ( 1800 -- 1889 ) , daughter of a leading Pennsylvania family , a woman noted for her `` considerable grace and refinement '' . The couple had five children : a daughter , Frederica ; then three sons , John , George , and Arthur ; and finally a second daughter , Mary . McClellan was the great - grandson of Revolutionary War general Samuel McClellan , of Woodstock , Connecticut . George McClellan attended the University of Pennsylvania in 1840 at age 13 , resigning himself to the study of law . After two years , he changed his goal to military service . With the assistance of his father 's letter to President John Tyler , young George was accepted at the United States Military Academy in 1842 , the academy having waived its normal minimum age of 16 . At West Point , he was an energetic and ambitious cadet , deeply interested in the teachings of Dennis Hart Mahan and the theoretical strategic principles of Antoine - Henri Jomini . His closest friends were aristocratic Southerners such as James Stuart , Dabney Maury , Cadmus Wilcox , and A.P. Hill . These associations gave McClellan what he considered to be an appreciation of the Southern mind and an understanding of the political and military implications of the sectional differences in the United States that led to the Civil War . He graduated in 1846 , second in his class of 59 cadets , losing the top position to Charles Seaforth Stewart only because of poor drawing skills . He was commissioned a brevet second lieutenant in the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers . Mexican -- American War ( edit ) McClellan 's first assignment was with a company of engineers formed at West Point , but he quickly received orders to sail for the Mexican -- American War . He arrived near the mouth of the Rio Grande in October 1846 , well prepared for action with a double - barreled shotgun , two pistols , a saber , a dress sword , and a Bowie knife . He complained that he had arrived too late to take any part in the American victory at Monterrey in September . During a temporary armistice in which the forces of Gen. Zachary Taylor awaited action , McClellan was stricken with dysentery and malaria , which kept him in the hospital for nearly a month . The malaria would recur in later years -- he called it his `` Mexican disease . '' He served as an engineering officer during the war , was frequently subject to enemy fire , and was appointed a brevet first lieutenant for his services at Contreras and Churubusco and to captain for his service at Chapultepec . He performed reconnaissance missions for Maj. Gen. Winfield Scott , a close friend of McClellan 's father . McClellan 's experiences in the war would shape his military and political life . He learned that flanking movements ( used by Scott at Cerro Gordo ) are often better than frontal assaults , and the value of siege operations ( Veracruz ) . He witnessed Scott 's success in balancing political with military affairs , and his good relations with the civil population as he invaded , enforcing strict discipline on his soldiers to minimize damage to property . McClellan also developed a disdain for volunteer soldiers and officers , particularly politicians who cared nothing for discipline and training . Peacetime service ( edit ) McClellan returned to West Point to command his engineering company , which was attached to the academy for the purpose of training cadets in engineering activities . He chafed at the boredom of peacetime garrison service , although he greatly enjoyed the social life . In June 1851 he was ordered to Fort Delaware , a masonry work under construction on an island in the Delaware River , 40 miles ( 64 km ) downriver from Philadelphia . In March 1852 he was ordered to report to Capt . Randolph B. Marcy at Fort Smith , Arkansas , to serve as second - in - command on an expedition to discover the sources of the Red River . By June the expedition reached the source of the north fork of the river and Marcy named a small tributary McClellan 's Creek . Upon their return to civilization on July 28 , they were astonished to find that they had been given up for dead . A sensational story had reached the press that the expedition had been ambushed by 2,000 Comanches and killed to the last man . McClellan blamed the story on `` a set of scoundrels , who seek to keep up agitation on the frontier in order to get employment from the Govt. in one way or other . '' In the fall of 1852 , McClellan published a manual on bayonet tactics that he had translated from the original French . He also received an assignment to the Department of Texas , with orders to perform a survey of Texas rivers and harbors . In 1853 he participated in the Pacific Railroad surveys , ordered by Secretary of War Jefferson Davis , to select an appropriate route for the planned transcontinental railroad . McClellan surveyed the western portion of the northern corridor along the 47th and 49th parallels from St. Paul to the Puget Sound . In doing so , he demonstrated a tendency for insubordination toward senior political figures . Isaac Stevens , governor of the Washington Territory , became dissatisfied with McClellan 's performance in his scouting of passes across the Cascade Range . McClellan selected Yakima Pass without a thorough reconnaissance and refused the governor 's order to lead a party through it in winter conditions , relying on faulty intelligence about the depth of snow pack in that area . In so doing , he missed three greatly superior passes in the near vicinity , which would be the ones eventually used for railroads and interstate highways . The governor ordered McClellan to turn over his expedition logbooks , but McClellan steadfastly refused , most likely because of embarrassing personal comments that he had made throughout his adventures . Returning to the East , McClellan began courting his future wife , Mary Ellen Marcy ( 1836 -- 1915 ) , the daughter of his former commander . Ellen , or Nelly , refused McClellan 's first proposal of marriage , one of nine that she received from a variety of suitors , including his West Point friend , A.P. Hill . Ellen accepted Hill 's proposal in 1856 , but her family did not approve and he withdrew . In June 1854 , McClellan was sent on a secret reconnaissance mission to Santo Domingo at the behest of Jefferson Davis . McClellan assessed local defensive capabilities for the secretary . ( The information was not used until 1870 , when President Ulysses S. Grant unsuccessfully attempted to annex the Dominican Republic . ) Davis was beginning to treat McClellan almost as a protégé , and his next assignment was to assess the logistical readiness of various railroads in the United States , once again with an eye toward planning for the transcontinental railroad . In March 1855 , McClellan was promoted to captain and assigned to the 1st U.S. Cavalry regiment . Because of his political connections and his mastery of French , McClellan received the assignment to be an official observer of the European armies in the Crimean War in 1855 . Traveling widely , and interacting with the highest military commands and royal families , McClellan observed the siege of Sevastopol . Upon his return to the United States in 1856 he requested assignment in Philadelphia to prepare his report , which contained a critical analysis of the siege and a lengthy description of the organization of the European armies . He also wrote a manual on cavalry tactics that was based on Russian cavalry regulations . Like other observers , though , McClellan did not appreciate the importance of the emergence of rifled muskets in the Crimean War , and the fundamental changes in warfare tactics it would require . The Army adopted McClellan 's cavalry manual and also his design for a saddle , dubbed the McClellan Saddle , which he claimed to have seen used by Hussars in Prussia and Hungary . It became standard issue for as long as the U.S. horse cavalry existed and is still used for ceremonies . Civilian pursuits ( edit ) George B. McClellan and Mary Ellen Marcy ( Nelly ) McClellan McClellan resigned his commission January 16 , 1857 , and , capitalizing on his experience with railroad assessment , became chief engineer and vice president of the Illinois Central Railroad , and then president of the Ohio and Mississippi Railroad in 1860 . He performed well in both jobs , expanding the Illinois Central toward New Orleans and helping the Ohio and Mississippi recover from the Panic of 1857 . Despite his successes and lucrative salary ( $10,000 per year ) , he was frustrated with civilian employment and continued to study classical military strategy assiduously . During the Utah War against the Mormons , he considered rejoining the Army . He also considered service as a filibuster in support of Benito Juárez in Mexico . Before the outbreak of the Civil War , McClellan became active in politics , supporting the presidential campaign of Democrat Stephen A. Douglas in the 1860 election . He claimed to have defeated an attempt at vote fraud by Republicans by ordering the delay of a train that was carrying men to vote illegally in another county , enabling Douglas to win the county . In October 1859 McClellan was able to resume his courtship of Mary Ellen , and they were married in Calvary Church , New York City , on May 22 , 1860 . Civil War ( edit ) Ohio and strategy ( edit ) At the start of the American Civil War , McClellan 's knowledge of what was called `` big war science '' and his railroad experience suggested he might excel at military logistics . This placed him in great demand as the Union mobilized . The governors of Ohio , Pennsylvania , and New York , the three largest states of the Union , actively pursued him to command their states ' militia . Ohio Governor William Dennison was the most persistent , so McClellan was commissioned a major general of volunteers and took command of the Ohio militia on April 23 , 1861 . Unlike some of his fellow Union officers who came from abolitionist families , he was opposed to federal interference with slavery . For this reason , some of his Southern colleagues approached him informally about siding with the Confederacy , but he could not accept the concept of secession . On May 3 McClellan re-entered federal service as commander of the Department of the Ohio , responsible for the defense of the states of Ohio , Indiana , Illinois , and , later , western Pennsylvania , western Virginia , and Missouri . On May 14 , he was commissioned a major general in the regular army . At age 34 , he outranked everyone in the Army except Lt. Gen. Winfield Scott , the general - in - chief . McClellan 's rapid promotion was partly due to his acquaintance with Salmon P. Chase , Treasury Secretary and former Ohio governor and senator . As McClellan scrambled to process the thousands of men who were volunteering for service and to set up training camps , he also applied his mind to grand strategy . He wrote a letter to Gen. Scott on April 27 , four days after assuming command in Ohio , that presented the first proposal for a strategy for the war . It contained two alternatives , each envisioning a prominent role for himself as commander . The first would use 80,000 men to invade Virginia through the Kanawha Valley toward Richmond . The second would use the same force to drive south instead , crossing the Ohio River into Kentucky and Tennessee . Scott rejected both plans as logistically unfeasible . Although he complimented McClellan and expressed his `` great confidence in your intelligence , zeal , science , and energy '' , he replied by letter that the 80,000 men would be better used on a river - based expedition to control the Mississippi River and split the Confederacy , accompanied by a strong Union blockade of Southern ports . This plan , which would require considerable patience of the Northern public , was derided in newspapers as the Anaconda Plan , but eventually proved to be the outline of the successful prosecution of the war . Relations between the two generals became increasingly strained over the summer and fall . Western Virginia ( edit ) McClellan 's first military operations were to occupy the area of western Virginia that wanted to remain in the Union and subsequently became the state of West Virginia . He had received intelligence reports on May 26 that the critical Baltimore and Ohio Railroad bridges in that portion of the state were being burned . As he quickly implemented plans to invade the region , he triggered his first serious political controversy by proclaiming to the citizens there that his forces had no intentions of interfering with personal property -- including slaves . `` Notwithstanding all that has been said by the traitors to induce you to believe that our advent among you will be signalized by interference with your slaves , understand one thing clearly -- not only will we abstain from all such interference but we will on the contrary with an iron hand , crush any attempted insurrection on their part . '' He quickly realized that he had overstepped his bounds and apologized by letter to President Lincoln . The controversy was not that his proclamation was diametrically opposed to the administration 's policy at the time , but that he was so bold in stepping beyond his strictly military role . His forces moved rapidly into the area through Grafton and were victorious at the tiny skirmish called the Battle of Philippi , arguably the first land conflict of the war . His first personal command in battle was at Rich Mountain , which he also won , but only after displaying a strong sense of caution and a reluctance to commit reserve forces that would be his hallmark for the rest of his career . His subordinate commander , William S. Rosecrans , bitterly complained that his attack was not reinforced as McClellan had agreed . Nevertheless , these two minor victories propelled McClellan to the status of national hero . The New York Herald entitled an article about him `` Gen. McClellan , the Napoleon of the Present War . '' Building an Army ( edit ) Patriotic cover honoring the arrival of Maj. Gen. George B. McClellan in Washington , D.C. , on July 26 , 1861 After the defeat of the Union forces at Bull Run on July 21 , 1861 , Lincoln summoned McClellan from western Virginia , where McClellan had given the North the only engagements bearing a semblance of victory . He traveled by special train on the main Pennsylvania line from Wheeling through Pittsburgh , Philadelphia , and Baltimore , and on to Washington , D.C. , and was greeted by enthusiastic crowds that met his train along the way . Carl Sandburg wrote , `` McClellan was the man of the hour , pointed to by events , and chosen by an overwhelming weight of public and private opinion . '' On July 26 , the day he reached the capital , McClellan was appointed commander of the Military Division of the Potomac , the main Union force responsible for the defense of Washington . On August 20 , several military units in Virginia were consolidated into his department and he immediately formed the Army of the Potomac , with himself as its first commander . He reveled in his newly acquired power and influence : I find myself in a new and strange position here -- Presdt , Cabinet , Genl Scott & all deferring to me -- by some strange operation of magic I seem to have become the power of the land ... I almost think that were I to win some small success now I could become Dictator or anything else that might please me -- but nothing of that kind would please me -- therefore I wo n't be Dictator . Admirable self - denial ! -- George B. McClellan , letter to Ellen , July 26 , 1861 General George B. McClellan with staff & dignitaries ( from left to right ) : Gen. George W. Morell , Lt. Col. A.V. Colburn , Gen. McClellan , Lt. Col. N.B. Sweitzer , Prince de Joinville ( son of King Louis Phillippe of France ) , and on the very right -- the prince 's nephew , Count de Paris During the summer and fall , McClellan brought a high degree of organization to his new army , and greatly improved its morale with frequent trips to review and encourage his units . It was a remarkable achievement , in which he came to personify the Army of the Potomac and reaped the adulation of his men . He created defenses for Washington that were almost impregnable , consisting of 48 forts and strong points , with 480 guns manned by 7,200 artillerists . The Army of the Potomac grew in number from 50,000 in July to 168,000 in November , becoming the largest military force the United States had raised until that time . But this was also a time of tension in the high command , as he continued to quarrel frequently with the government and the general - in - chief , Lt. Gen. Scott , on matters of strategy . McClellan rejected the tenets of Scott 's Anaconda Plan , favoring instead an overwhelming grand battle , in the Napoleonic style . He proposed that his army should be expanded to 273,000 men and 600 guns and `` crush the rebels in one campaign . '' He favored a war that would impose little impact on civilian populations and require no emancipation of slaves . McClellan 's antipathy to emancipation added to the pressure on him , as he received bitter criticism from Radical Republicans in the government . He viewed slavery as an institution recognized in the Constitution , and entitled to federal protection wherever it existed ( Lincoln held the same public position until August 1862 ) . McClellan 's writings after the war were typical of many Northerners : `` I confess to a prejudice in favor of my own race , & ca n't learn to like the odor of either Billy goats or niggers . '' But in November 1861 , he wrote to his wife , `` I will , if successful , throw my sword onto the scale to force an improvement in the condition of those poor blacks . '' He later wrote that had it been his place to arrange the terms of peace , he would have insisted on gradual emancipation , guarding the rights of both slaves and masters , as part of any settlement . But he made no secret of his opposition to the radical Republicans . He told Ellen , `` I will not fight for the abolitionists . '' This put him in opposition with officials of the administration who believed he was attempting to implement the policies of the opposition party . The immediate problem with McClellan 's war strategy was that he was convinced the Confederates were ready to attack him with overwhelming numbers . On August 8 , believing that the Confederacy had over 100,000 troops facing him ( in contrast to the 35,000 they had actually deployed at Bull Run a few weeks earlier ) , he declared a state of emergency in the capital . By August 19 , he estimated 150,000 rebel soldiers on his front . McClellan 's subsequent campaigns were strongly influenced by the overblown enemy strength estimates of his secret service chief , detective Allan Pinkerton , but in August 1861 , these estimates were entirely McClellan 's own . The result was a level of extreme caution that sapped the initiative of McClellan 's army and dismayed the government . Historian and biographer Stephen W. Sears observed that McClellan 's actions would have been `` essentially sound '' for a commander who was as outnumbered as McClellan thought he was , but McClellan in fact rarely had less than a two - to - one advantage over the armies that opposed him in 1861 and 1862 . That fall , for example , Confederate forces ranged from 35,000 to 60,000 , whereas the Army of the Potomac in September numbered 122,000 men ; in early December 170,000 ; by year end , 192,000 . The dispute with Scott became increasingly personal . Scott ( as well as many in the War Department ) was outraged that McClellan refused to divulge any details about his strategic planning , or even such basic information as the strengths and dispositions of his units . McClellan claimed he could not trust anyone in the administration to keep his plans secret from the press , and thus the enemy . In the course of a disagreement about defensive forces on the Potomac River , McClellan wrote to his wife on August 10 : `` Genl Scott is the great obstacle -- he will not comprehend the danger & is either a traitor , or an incompetent . I have to fight my way against him . '' Scott became so disillusioned with the young general that he offered his resignation to President Lincoln , who initially refused to accept it . Rumors traveled through the capital that McClellan might resign , or instigate a military coup , if Scott were not removed . Lincoln 's Cabinet met on October 18 and agreed to accept Scott 's resignation for `` reasons of health . '' However , the subsequently formed Army of the Potomac had high morale and was extremely proud of their general , some even referring to McClellan as the saviour of Washington . He prevented the army 's morale from collapsing at least twice , in the aftermath of the First and Second Battles of Bull Run . Many historians argue that he was talented in this aspect . General - in - chief ( edit ) `` Quaker guns '' ( logs used as ruses to imitate cannons ) in former Confederate fortifications at Manassas Junction On November 1 , 1861 , Winfield Scott retired and McClellan became general - in - chief of all the Union armies . The president expressed his concern about the `` vast labor '' involved in the dual role of army commander and general - in - chief , but McClellan responded , `` I can do it all . '' Lincoln , as well as many other leaders and citizens of the northern states , became increasingly impatient with McClellan 's slowness to attack the Confederate forces still massed near Washington . The Union defeat at the minor Battle of Ball 's Bluff near Leesburg in October added to the frustration and indirectly damaged McClellan . In December , the Congress formed a Joint Committee on the Conduct of the War , which became a thorn in the side of many generals throughout the war , accusing them of incompetence and , in some cases , treason . McClellan was called as the first witness on December 23 , but he contracted typhoid fever and could not attend . Instead , his subordinate officers testified , and their candid admissions that they had no knowledge of specific strategies for advancing against the Confederates raised many calls for McClellan 's dismissal . McClellan further damaged his reputation by his insulting insubordination to his commander - in - chief . He privately referred to Lincoln , whom he had known before the war as a lawyer for the Illinois Central , as `` nothing more than a well - meaning baboon '' , a `` gorilla '' , and `` ever unworthy of ... his high position . '' On November 13 , he snubbed the president , who had come to visit McClellan 's house , by making him wait for 30 minutes , only to be told that the general had gone to bed and could not receive him . On January 10 , Lincoln met with top generals ( McClellan did not attend ) and directed them to formulate a plan of attack , expressing his exasperation with General McClellan with the following remark : `` If General McClellan does not want to use the army , I would like to borrow it for a time . '' On January 12 , 1862 , McClellan was summoned to the White House , where the Cabinet demanded to hear his war plans . For the first time , he revealed his intentions to transport the Army of the Potomac by ship to Urbanna , Virginia , on the Rappahannock River , outflanking the Confederate forces near Washington , and proceeding 50 miles ( 80 km ) overland to capture Richmond . He refused to give any specific details of the proposed campaign , even to his friend , newly appointed War Secretary Edwin M. Stanton . On January 27 , Lincoln issued an order that required all of his armies to begin offensive operations by February 22 , Washington 's birthday . On January 31 , he issued a supplementary order for the Army of the Potomac to move overland to attack the Confederates at Manassas Junction and Centreville . McClellan immediately replied with a 22 - page letter objecting in detail to the president 's plan and advocating instead his Urbanna plan , which was the first written instance of the plan 's details being presented to the president . Although Lincoln believed his plan was superior , he was relieved that McClellan finally agreed to begin moving , and reluctantly approved . On March 8 , doubting McClellan 's resolve , Lincoln again interfered with the army commander 's prerogatives . He called a council of war at the White House in which McClellan 's subordinates were asked about their confidence in the Urbanna plan . They expressed their confidence to varying degrees . After the meeting , Lincoln issued another order , naming specific officers as corps commanders to report to McClellan ( who had been reluctant to do so prior to assessing his division commanders ' effectiveness in combat , even though this would have meant his direct supervision of twelve divisions in the field ) . Two more crises would confront McClellan before he could implement his plans . The Confederate forces under General Joseph E. Johnston withdrew from their positions before Washington , assuming new positions south of the Rappahannock , which completely nullified the Urbanna strategy . McClellan revised his plans to have his troops disembark at Fort Monroe , Virginia , and advance up the Virginia Peninsula to Richmond , an operation that would be known as the Peninsula Campaign . Then , however , McClellan came under extreme criticism in the press and Congress when it was learned that Johnston 's forces had not only slipped away unnoticed , but had for months fooled the Union Army with logs painted black to appear as cannons , nicknamed Quaker Guns . Congress 's joint committee visited the abandoned Confederate lines and radical Republicans introduced a resolution demanding the dismissal of McClellan , but it was narrowly defeated by a parliamentary maneuver . The second crisis was the emergence of the Confederate ironclad CSS Virginia , which threw Washington into a panic and made naval support operations on the James River seem problematic . On March 11 , 1862 , Lincoln removed McClellan as general - in - chief , leaving him in command of only the Army of the Potomac , ostensibly so that McClellan would be free to devote all his attention to the move on Richmond . Lincoln 's order was ambiguous as to whether McClellan might be restored following a successful campaign . In fact , the general - in - chief position was left unfilled . Lincoln , Stanton , and a group of officers who formed the `` War Board '' directed the strategic actions of the Union armies that spring . Although McClellan was assuaged by supportive comments Lincoln made to him , in time he saw the change of command very differently , describing it as a part of an intrigue `` to secure the failure of the approaching campaign . '' Peninsula campaign ( edit ) Peninsula Campaign , map of events up to the Battle of Seven Pines Confederate Union Seven Days Battles , June 25 -- July 1 , 1862 McClellan 's army began to sail from Alexandria on March 17 . It was an armada that dwarfed all previous American expeditions , transporting 121,500 men , 44 artillery batteries , 1,150 wagons , over 15,000 horses , and tons of equipment and supplies . An English observer remarked that it was the `` stride of a giant . '' The army 's advance from Fort Monroe up the Virginia Peninsula proved to be slow . McClellan 's plan for a rapid seizure of Yorktown was foiled when he discovered that the Confederates had fortified a line across the Peninsula , causing him to decide on a siege of the city , which required considerable preparation . McClellan continued to believe intelligence reports that credited the Confederates with two or three times the men they actually had . Early in the campaign , Confederate General John B. `` Prince John '' Magruder defended the Peninsula against McClellan 's advance with a vastly smaller force . He created a false impression of many troops behind the lines and of even more troops arriving . He accomplished this by marching small groups of men repeatedly past places where they could be observed at a distance or were just out of sight , accompanied by great noise and fanfare . During this time , General Johnston was able to provide Magruder with reinforcements , but even then there were far fewer troops than McClellan believed were opposite him . After a month of preparation , just before he was to assault the Confederate works at Yorktown , McClellan learned that Johnston had withdrawn up the Peninsula towards Williamsburg . McClellan was thus required to give chase without any benefit of the heavy artillery so carefully amassed in front of Yorktown . The Battle of Williamsburg on May 5 is considered a Union victory -- McClellan 's first -- but the Confederate army was not destroyed and a bulk of their troops were successfully moved past Williamsburg to Richmond 's outer defenses while the battle was waged and for several days thereafter . McClellan had also placed hopes on a simultaneous naval approach to Richmond via the James River . That approach failed following the Union Navy 's defeat at the Battle of Drewry 's Bluff , about 7 miles ( 11 km ) downstream from the Confederate capital , on May 15 . Basing artillery on a strategic bluff high above a bend in the river , and sinking boats to create an impassable series of obstacles in the river itself , the Confederates effectively blocked this potential approach to Richmond . McClellan 's army cautiously inched towards Richmond over the next three weeks , coming to within four miles ( 6 km ) of it . He established a supply base on the Pamunkey River ( a navigable tributary of the York River ) at White House Landing where the Richmond and York River Railroad extending to Richmond crossed , and commandeered the railroad , transporting steam locomotives and rolling stock to the site by barge . On May 31 , as McClellan planned an assault , his army was surprised by a Confederate attack . Johnston saw that the Union army was split in half by the rain - swollen Chickahominy River and hoped to defeat it in detail at Seven Pines and Fair Oaks . McClellan was unable to command the army personally because of a recurrence of malarial fever , but his subordinates were able to repel the attacks . Nevertheless , McClellan received criticism from Washington for not counterattacking , which some believed could have opened the city of Richmond to capture . Johnston was wounded in the battle , and General Robert E. Lee assumed command of the Army of Northern Virginia . McClellan spent the next three weeks repositioning his troops and waiting for promised reinforcements , losing valuable time as Lee continued to strengthen Richmond 's defenses . At the end of June , Lee began a series of attacks that became known as the Seven Days Battles . The first major battle , at Mechanicsville , was poorly coordinated by Lee and his subordinates and resulted in heavy casualties for little tactical gain . However the battle had a significant impact on McClellan 's nerve . The surprise appearance of Maj. Gen. Stonewall Jackson 's troops in the battle ( when they had last been reported to be many miles away in the Shenandoah Valley ) convinced McClellan that he was even more outnumbered than he had thought . He reported to Washington that he faced 200,000 Confederates ( the actual number was 85,000 . ) Federal troops under heavy attack at the Battle of Gaines 's Mill , sketched by Alfred R. Waud and published in Harper 's Weekly , July 26 , 1862 As Lee continued his offensive at Gaines 's Mill to the east , McClellan played a passive role , taking no initiative and waiting for events to unfold . He kept two thirds of his army out of action , fooled again by Magruder 's theatrical diversionary tactics . That night , he decided to withdraw his army to a safer base , well below Richmond , on a portion of the James River that was under control of the Union Navy . In doing so , he may have unwittingly saved his army . Lee had assumed that the Union army would withdraw to the east toward its existing supply base and McClellan 's move to the south delayed Lee 's response for at least 24 hours . But McClellan was also tacitly acknowledging that he would no longer be able to invest Richmond , the object of his campaign ; the heavy siege artillery required would be almost impossible to transport without the railroad connections available from his original supply base on the York River . In a telegram to Secretary of War Edwin Stanton , reporting on these events , McClellan blamed the Lincoln administration for his reversals . `` If I save this army now , I tell you plainly I owe no thanks to you or to any other persons in Washington . You have done your best to sacrifice this army . '' Fortunately for McClellan , Lincoln never saw that inflammatory statement ( at least at that time ) because it was censored by the War Department telegrapher . Wounded men after the Battle of Savage 's Station , one of the Seven Days Battles McClellan was also fortunate that the failure of the campaign left his army mostly intact , because he was generally absent from the fighting and neglected to name any second - in - command who might direct his retreat . Military historian Stephen W. Sears wrote , `` When he deserted his army on the Glendale and Malvern Hill battlefields during the Seven Days , he was guilty of dereliction of duty . Had the Army of the Potomac been wrecked on either of these fields ( at Glendale the possibility had been real ) , that charge under the Articles of War would likely have been brought against him . '' In the battle of Glendale , McClellan was five miles ( 8 km ) away behind Malvern Hill , without telegraph communications and too distant to command his army . In the battle of Malvern Hill , he was on a gunboat , the U.S.S. Galena , which at one point was ten miles ( 16 km ) away , down the James River . In both battles , effective command of the army fell to his friend and V Corps commander Brigadier General Fitz John Porter . When the public heard about the Galena , it was yet another great embarrassment , comparable to the Quaker Guns at Manassas . Editorial cartoons published in the course of the 1864 presidential campaign lampooned McClellan for having preferred the safety of a ship while a battle was fought in the distance . McClellan was reunited with his army at Harrison 's Landing on the James . Debates were held as to whether the army should be evacuated or attempt to resume an offensive toward Richmond . McClellan maintained his estrangement from Abraham Lincoln with his repeated call for reinforcements and by writing a lengthy letter in which he proposed strategic and political guidance for the war , continuing his opposition to abolition or seizure of slaves as a tactic . He concluded by implying he should be restored as general - in - chief , but Lincoln responded by naming Maj. Gen. Henry W. Halleck to the post without consulting , or even informing , McClellan . Lincoln and Stanton also offered command of the Army of the Potomac to Maj. Gen. Ambrose Burnside , who refused the appointment . Back in Washington , a reorganization of units created the Army of Virginia under Maj. Gen. John Pope , who was directed to advance toward Richmond from the northeast . McClellan resisted calls to reinforce Pope 's army and delayed return of the Army of the Potomac from the Peninsula enough so that the reinforcements arrived while the Northern Virginia Campaign was already underway . He wrote to his wife before the battle , `` Pope will be thrashed ... & be disposed of ( by Lee ) ... Such a villain as he is ought to bring defeat upon any cause that employs him . '' Lee had assessed McClellan 's defensive nature and gambled on removing significant units from the Peninsula to attack Pope , who was beaten decisively at Second Bull Run in August . Maryland campaign ( edit ) McClellan riding through Frederick , Maryland , September 12 , 1862 ( From Frank Leslie 's Illustrated Newspaper ) Maryland Campaign , actions September 3 -- 15 , 1862 After the defeat of Pope at Second Bull Run , President Lincoln reluctantly returned to the man who had mended a broken army before . He realized that McClellan was a strong organizer and a skilled trainer of troops , able to recombine the units of Pope 's army with the Army of the Potomac faster than anyone . On September 2 , 1862 , Lincoln named McClellan to command `` the fortifications of Washington , and all the troops for the defense of the capital . '' The appointment was controversial in the Cabinet , a majority of whom signed a petition declaring to the president `` our deliberate opinion that , at this time , it is not safe to entrust to Major General McClellan the command of any Army of the United States . '' The president admitted that it was like `` curing the bite with the hair of the dog . '' But Lincoln told his secretary , John Hay , `` We must use what tools we have . There is no man in the Army who can man these fortifications and lick these troops of ours into shape half as well as he . If he ca n't fight himself , he excels in making others ready to fight . '' Northern fears of a continued offensive by Robert E. Lee were realized when he launched his Maryland Campaign on September 4 , hoping to arouse pro-Southern sympathy in the slave state of Maryland . McClellan 's pursuit began on September 5 . He marched toward Maryland with six of his reorganized corps , about 84,000 men , while leaving two corps behind to defend Washington . McClellan 's reception in Frederick , Maryland , as he marched towards Lee 's army , was described by the correspondent for Harper 's Magazine : The General rode through the town on a trot , and the street was filled six or eight deep with his staff and guard riding on behind him . The General had his head uncovered , and received gracefully the salutations of the people . Old ladies and men wept for joy , and scores of beautiful ladies waved flags from the balconies of houses upon the street , and their joyousness seemed to overcome every other emotion . When the General came to the corner of the principal street the ladies thronged around him . Bouquets , beautiful and fragrant , in great numbers were thrown at him , and the ladies crowded around him with the warmest good wishes , and many of them were entirely overcome with emotion . I have never witnessed such a scene . The General took the gentle hands which were offered to him with many a kind and pleasing remark , and heard and answered the many remarks and compliments with which the people accosted him . It was a scene which no one could forget -- an event of a lifetime . Lee divided his forces into multiple columns , spread apart widely as he moved into Maryland and also maneuvered to capture the federal arsenal at Harpers Ferry . This was a risky move for a smaller army , but Lee was counting on his knowledge of McClellan 's temperament . He told one of his generals , `` He is an able general but a very cautious one . His army is in a very demoralized and chaotic condition , and will not be prepared for offensive operations -- or he will not think it so -- for three or four weeks . Before that time I hope to be on the Susquehanna . '' This was not a completely accurate assessment , but McClellan 's army was moving lethargically , averaging only 6 miles ( 9.7 km ) a day . However , McClellan soon received a miraculous break of fortune . Union soldiers accidentally found a copy of Lee 's orders dividing his army , wrapped around a package of cigars in an abandoned camp . They delivered the order to McClellan 's headquarters in Frederick on September 13 . Upon realizing the intelligence value of this discovery , McClellan threw up his arms and exclaimed , `` Now I know what to do ! '' He waved the order at his old Army friend , Brig. Gen. John Gibbon , and said , `` Here is a paper with which if I can not whip Bobbie Lee , I will be willing to go home . '' He telegraphed President Lincoln : `` I have the whole rebel force in front of me , but I am confident , and no time shall be lost . I think Lee has made a gross mistake , and that he will be severely punished for it . I have all the plans of the rebels , and will catch them in their own trap if my men are equal to the emergency ... Will send you trophies . '' Battle of South Mountain ( edit ) Battle of South Mountain Despite this show of bravado , McClellan continued his cautious line . After telegraphing to the president at noon on September 13 , rather than ordering his units to set out for the South Mountain passes immediately , he ordered them to depart the following morning . The 18 hours of delay allowed Lee time to react , because he received intelligence from a Confederate sympathizer that McClellan knew of his plans . ( The delay also doomed the federal garrison at Harpers Ferry because the relief column McClellan sent could not reach them before they surrendered to Stonewall Jackson . ) In the Battle of South Mountain , McClellan 's army was able to punch through the defended passes that separated them from Lee , but also gave Lee enough time to concentrate many of his men at Sharpsburg , Maryland . The Battle of South Mountain presented McClellan with an opportunity for one of the great theatrical moments of his career , as historian Sears describes : The mountain ahead was wreathed in smoke eddies of battle smoke in which the gun flashes shone like brief hot sparks . The opposing battle lines on the heights were marked by heavier layers of smoke , and columns of Federal troops were visible winding their way up the mountainside , each column ... looking like a ' monstrous , crawling , blue - black snake ' ... McClellan posed against this spectacular backdrop , sitting motionless astride his warhorse Dan Webster with his arm extended , pointing Hooker 's passing troops toward the battle . The men cheered him until they were hoarse ... and some broke ranks to swarm around the martial figure and indulge in the ' most extravagant demonstrations ' . The Union army reached Antietam Creek , to the east of Sharpsburg , on the evening of September 15 . A planned attack on September 16 was put off because of early morning fog , allowing Lee to prepare his defenses with an army less than half the size of McClellan 's . Battle of Antietam ( edit ) Overview of the Battle of Antietam Lincoln with McClellan and staff after the Battle of Antietam . Notable figures ( from left ) are 5 . Alexander S. Webb , Chief of Staff , V Corps ; 6 . McClellan ;. 8 . Dr. Jonathan Letterman ; 10 . Lincoln ; 11 . Henry J. Hunt ; 12 . Fitz John Porter ; 15 . Andrew A. Humphreys ; 16 . Capt . George Armstrong Custer The Battle of Antietam on September 17 , 1862 , was the single bloodiest day in American military history . The outnumbered Confederate forces fought desperately and well . Despite significant advantages in manpower , McClellan was unable to concentrate his forces effectively , which meant that Lee was able to shift his defenders to parry each of three Union thrusts , launched separately and sequentially against the Confederate left , center , and finally the right . McClellan was also unwilling , due to Porter 's opinion , to employ his ample reserve forces to capitalize on localized successes . Historian James M. McPherson has pointed out that the two corps McClellan kept in reserve were in fact larger than Lee 's entire force . The reason for McClellan 's reluctance was that , as in previous battles , he was convinced he was outnumbered . Lincoln in McClellan 's tent after the Battle of Antietam The battle was tactically inconclusive , although Lee technically was defeated because he withdrew first from the battlefield and retreated back to Virginia . McClellan wired to Washington , `` Our victory was complete . The enemy is driven back into Virginia . '' Yet there was obvious disappointment that McClellan had not crushed Lee , who was fighting with a smaller army with its back to the Potomac River . Although McClellan 's subordinates can claim their share of responsibility for delays ( such as Ambrose Burnside 's misadventures at Burnside Bridge ) and blunders ( Edwin V. Sumner 's attack without reconnaissance ) , these were localized problems from which the full army could have recovered . As with the decisive battles in the Seven Days , McClellan 's headquarters were too far to the rear to allow his personal control over the battle . He made no use of his cavalry forces for reconnaissance . He did not share his overall battle plans with his corps commanders , which prevented them from using initiative outside of their sectors . And he was far too willing to accept cautious advice about saving his reserves , such as when a significant breakthrough in the center of the Confederate line could have been exploited , but Fitz John Porter is said to have told McClellan , `` Remember , General , I command the last reserve of the last Army of the Republic . '' Despite being a tactical draw , Antietam is considered a turning point of the war and a victory for the Union because it ended Lee 's strategic campaign ( his first invasion of the North ) and it allowed President Lincoln to issue the Emancipation Proclamation on September 22 , taking effect on January 1 , 1863 . Although Lincoln had intended to issue the proclamation earlier , he was advised by his Cabinet to wait until a Union victory to avoid the perception that it was issued out of desperation . The Union victory and Lincoln 's proclamation played a considerable role in dissuading the governments of France and Britain from recognizing the Confederacy ; some suspected they were planning to do so in the aftermath of another Union defeat . McClellan had no prior knowledge that the plans for emancipation rested on his battle performance . Because McClellan failed to pursue Lee aggressively after Antietam , Lincoln ordered that he be removed from command on November 5 , 1862 . Maj. Gen. Ambrose Burnside assumed command of the Army of the Potomac on November 9 , 1862 . McClellan wrote to his wife , `` Those in whose judgment I rely tell me that I fought the battle splendidly and that it was a masterpiece of art ... I feel I have done all that can be asked in twice saving the country ... I feel some little pride in having , with a beaten & demoralized army , defeated Lee so utterly ... Well , one of these days history will I trust do me justice . '' 1864 presidential election ( edit ) Further information : United States presidential election , 1864 An anti-McClellan poster from Harper 's Weekly , drawn by Thomas Nast , showing rioters assaulting children , slave - catchers chasing runaway slaves , and a woman being sold at a slave auction Currier and Ives print of the McClellan -- Pendleton Democratic presidential party ticket , 1864 . Lithograph with watercolor . Secretary Stanton ordered McClellan to report to Trenton , New Jersey , for further orders , although none were issued . As the war progressed , there were various calls to return McClellan to an important command , following the Union defeats at Fredericksburg and Chancellorsville , as Robert E. Lee moved north at the start of the Gettysburg Campaign , and as Jubal Early threatened Washington in 1864 . When Ulysses S. Grant became general - in - chief , he discussed returning McClellan to an unspecified position . But all of these opportunities were impossible , given the opposition within the administration and the knowledge that McClellan posed a potential political threat . McClellan worked for months on a lengthy report describing his two major campaigns and his successes in organizing the Army , replying to his critics and justifying his actions by accusing the administration of undercutting him and denying him necessary reinforcements . The War Department was reluctant to publish his report because , just after completing it in October 1863 , McClellan openly declared his entrance to the political stage as a Democrat . Cartoon of McClellan used by his political opponents in 1864 presidential campaign McClellan was nominated by the Democrats to run against Abraham Lincoln in the 1864 U.S. presidential election . Following the example of Winfield Scott , he ran as a U.S. Army general still on active duty ; he did not resign his commission until election day , November 8 , 1864 . McClellan supported continuation of the war and restoration of the Union ( but not the abolition of slavery ) , but the party platform , written by Copperhead leader Clement Vallandigham of Ohio , was opposed to this position . The platform called for an immediate cessation of hostilities and a negotiated settlement with the Confederacy . McClellan was forced to repudiate the platform , which made his campaign inconsistent and difficult . He also was not helped by the party 's choice for vice president , George H. Pendleton , a peace candidate from Ohio . The deep division in the party , the unity of the Republicans ( running under the label `` National Union Party '' ) , the absence of a large portion of the Democrats ' base ( the South ) from the voter pool , and the military successes by Union forces in the fall of 1864 doomed McClellan 's candidacy . Lincoln won the election handily , with 212 Electoral College votes to 21 and a popular vote of 2,218,388 to 1,812,807 or 55 % to 45 % . For all his popularity with the troops , McClellan failed to secure their support and the military vote went to Lincoln nearly 3 -- 1 . Lincoln 's share of the vote in the Army of the Potomac was 70 % . Postbellum years ( edit ) At the conclusion of the war ( 1865 ) McClellan and his family went to Europe , not returning until 1868 ; in this period he did not participate in politics . Prior to his return in September 1868 , the Democratic Party had expressed some interest in nominating him for president again , but Ulysses S. Grant became the Republican candidate in May 1868 , and this interest died . McClellan worked on engineering projects in New York City and was offered the position of president of the newly formed University of California ( established in 1868 ) . McClellan photographed by William S. Warren , circa 1880 McClellan was appointed chief engineer of the New York City Department of Docks in 1870 . Evidently the position did not demand his full - time attention because , starting in 1872 , he also served as the president of the Atlantic and Great Western Railroad . He and his family then embarked on another three - year stay in Europe ( 1873 -- 75 ) In March 1877 the Governor of New York , Lucius Robinson , nominated McClellan as the first Superintendent of Public Works , but the New York State Senate rejected him as `` incompetent for the position '' . In 1877 the Democrats nominated McClellan for Governor of New Jersey , an action that took him by surprise because he had not expressed an interest in the position . He accepted the nomination , won election , and served a single term from 1878 to 1881 , a tenure marked by careful , conservative executive management and by minimal political rancor . The concluding chapter of his political career was his strong support in 1884 for the election of Grover Cleveland . He sought the position of Secretary of War in Cleveland 's cabinet , for which he was well qualified , but political rivals from New Jersey succeeded in blocking his nomination . McClellan devoted his final years to traveling and writing ; he produced his memoirs , McClellan 's Own Story ( published posthumously in 1887 ) , in which he stridently defended his conduct during the war . He died unexpectedly of a heart attack at age 58 at Orange , New Jersey , after suffering from chest pains for a few weeks . His final words , at 3 a.m. , October 29 , 1885 , were , `` I feel easy now . Thank you . '' He was buried at Riverview Cemetery , Trenton , New Jersey . Family ( edit ) McClellan 's son , George B. McClellan Jr. ( 1865 -- 1940 ) , was born in Dresden in the Kingdom of Saxony during the family 's first trip to Europe . Known within the family as Max , he too became a politician , serving as a United States Representative from New York State ( 1893 -- 1903 ) and as Mayor of New York City from 1904 to 1909 . McClellan 's daughter , Mary ( `` May '' ) ( 1861 -- 1945 ) , married a French diplomat and spent much of her life abroad . McClellan 's wife , Ellen , died in Nice , France in 1915 while visiting May at her home `` Villa Antietam '' . Neither Max nor May had any children of their own . Legacy ( edit ) Major General George B. McClellan on Connecticut Avenue in Washington , D.C. McClellan statue in front of Philadelphia City Hall The New York Evening Post commented in McClellan 's obituary , `` Probably no soldier who did so little fighting has ever had his qualities as a commander so minutely , and we may add , so fiercely discussed . '' This fierce discussion has continued for over a century . McClellan is usually ranked in the lowest tier of Civil War generals . However , the debate over McClellan 's ability and talents remains the subject of much controversy among Civil War and military historians . He has been universally praised for his organizational abilities and for his very good relations with his troops . They referred to him affectionately as `` Little Mac '' ; others sometimes called him the `` Young Napoleon '' . It has been suggested that his reluctance to enter battle was caused in part by an intense desire to avoid spilling the blood of his men . Ironically , this led to failing to take the initiative against the enemy and therefore passing up good opportunities for decisive victories , which could have ended the war early , and thereby could have spared thousands of soldiers who died in those subsequent battles . Generals who proved successful in the war , such as Lee and Grant , tended to be more aggressive and more willing to risk a major battle even when all preparations were not perfect . McClellan himself summed up his cautious nature in a draft of his memoirs : It has always been my opinion that the true course in conducting military operations , is to make no movement until the preparations are as complete as circumstances permit , & never to fight a battle without some definite object worth the probable loss . McClellan 's reluctance to press his enemy aggressively was probably not a matter of personal courage , which he demonstrated well enough by his bravery under fire in the Mexican -- American War . However , his initiative on the battlefield was not so decisive , as Stephen Sears wrote , There is indeed ample evidence that the terrible stresses of commanding men in battle , especially the beloved men of his beloved Army of the Potomac , left his moral courage in tatters . Under the pressure of his ultimate soldier 's responsibility , the will to command deserted him . Glendale and Malvern Hill found him at the peak of his anguish during the Seven Days , and he fled those fields to escape the responsibility . At Antietam , where there was nowhere for him to flee to , he fell into a paralysis of indecision . Seen from a longer perspective , General McClellan could be both comfortable and successful performing as executive officer , and also , if somewhat less successfully , as grand strategist ; as battlefield commander , however , he was simply in the wrong profession . One of the reasons that McClellan 's reputation has suffered is his own memoirs . Historian Allan Nevins wrote , `` Students of history must always be grateful McClellan so frankly exposed his own weaknesses in this posthumous book . '' Doris Kearns Goodwin claims that a review of his personal correspondence during the war reveals a tendency for self - aggrandizement and unwarranted self - congratulation . His original draft was completed in 1881 , but the only copy was destroyed by fire . He began to write another draft of what would be published posthumously , in 1887 , as McClellan 's Own Story . However , he died before it was half completed and his literary executor , William C. Prime , editor of the pro-McClellan New York Journal of Commerce , included excerpts from some 250 of McClellan 's wartime letters to his wife , in which it had been his habit to reveal his innermost feelings and opinions in unbridled fashion . Robert E. Lee , on being asked ( by his cousin , and recorded by his son ) who was the ablest general on the Union side during the late war , replied emphatically : `` McClellan , by all odds ! '' While McClellan 's reputation has suffered over time , especially over the later half of the 20th century , there is a small but intense cadre of American Civil War historians who believe that the general has been poorly served in at least four regards . First , McClellan proponents say that because the general was a conservative Democrat with great personal charisma , radical Republicans fearing his political potential deliberately undermined his field operations . Second , that as the radical Republicans were the true winners coming out of the American Civil War , they were able to write its history , placing their principal political rival of the time , McClellan , in the worst possible light . Third , that historians eager to jump on the bandwagon of Lincoln as America 's greatest political icon worked to outdo one another in shifting blame for early military failures from Lincoln and Secretary of War Edwin M. Stanton to McClellan . And fourth , that Lincoln and Stanton deliberately undermined McClellan because of his conciliatory stance towards the South , which might have resulted in a less destructive end to the war had Richmond fallen as a result of the Peninsula Campaign . Proponents of this school claim that McClellan is criticized more for his admittedly abrasive personality than for his actual field performance . Several geographic features and establishments have been named for George B. McClellan . These include Fort McClellan in Alabama , McClellan Butte in the Mount Baker - Snoqualmie National Forest , where he traveled while conducting the Pacific Railroad Survey in 1853 , and a bronze equestrian statue honoring General McClellan in Washington , D.C. Another equestrian statue honors him in front of Philadelphia City Hall , while the McClellan Gate at Arlington National Cemetery is dedicated to him and displays his name . McClellan Park in Milbridge , Maine , was donated to the town by the general 's son with the stipulation that it be named for the general . The Fire Department of New York operated a fireboat named George B. McClellan from 1904 to 1954 . While this vessel is sometimes said to be named after the General , it was actually named after his son , who was Mayor of New York City , when the vessel was launched .

At that point , he assumed the title of King of Italy and became the first king of a united Italy since the 6th century , a title he held until his death in 1878 . The Italians gave him the epithet of Father of the Fatherland ( Italian : Padre della Patria ) .

His father succeeded a distant cousin as King of Sardinia - Piedmont in 1831 . He lived for some years of his youth in Florence and showed an early interest in politics , the military , and sports . In 1842 , he married his cousin , Adelaide of Austria . He was styled as the Duke of Savoy prior to becoming King of Sardinia - Piedmont . He took part in the First Italian War of Independence ( 1848 - 1849 ) under his father , King Charles Albert , fighting in the front line at the battles of Pastrengo , Santa Lucia , Goito and Custoza . He became King of Sardinia - Piedmont in 1849 when his father abdicated the throne , after a humiliating military defeat by the Austrians at the Battle of Novara . Victor Emmanuel was immediately able to obtain a rather favorable armistice at Vignale by the Austrian imperial army commander , Radetzky . The treaty , however , was not ratified by the Piedmontese lower parliamentary house , the Chamber of Deputies , and Victor Emmanuel retaliated by firing his Prime Minister , Claudio Gabriele de Launay , replacing him with Massimo D'Azeglio . After new elections , the peace with Austria was accepted by the new Chamber of Deputies . In 1849 , Victor Emmanuel also fiercely suppressed a revolt in Genoa , defining the rebels as a `` vile and infected race of canailles . '' In 1852 , he appointed Count Camillo Benso of Cavour ( `` Count Cavour '' ) as Prime Minister of Piedmont - Sardinia . This turned out to be a wise choice , since Cavour was a political mastermind and a major player in the Italian unification in his own right . Victor Emmanuel II soon became the symbol of the `` Risorgimento '' , the Italian unification movement of the 1850s and early 60s . He was especially popular in the Kingdom of Sardinia - Piedmont because of his respect for the new constitution and his liberal reforms . Brooklyn Museum - Caricature of King Victor Emmanuel II - Thomas Nast - overall Crimean war ( edit ) Victor Emmanuel reviews the troops for the Crimean War Following Victor Emmanuel 's advice , Cavour joined Britain and France in the Crimean War against Russia . Cavour was reluctant to go to war due to the power of Russia at the time and the expense of doing so . Victor Emmanuel , however , was convinced of the rewards to be gained from the alliance created with Britain and , more importantly , France . After successfully seeking British support and ingratiating himself with France and Napoleon III at the Congress of Paris in 1856 at the end of the war , Count Cavour arranged a secret meeting with the French emperor . In 1858 , they met at Plombières - les - Bains ( in Lorraine ) , where they agreed that if the French were to help Piedmont combat Austria , which still occupied the Kingdom of Lombardy - Venetia in northern Italy , France would be awarded Nice and Savoy . Wars of Italian unification ( edit ) Main article : Second Italian War of Independence Victor Emmanuel meets Giuseppe Garibaldi in Teano The Italo - French campaign against Austria in 1859 started successfully . However , sickened by the casualties of the war and worried about the mobilisation of Prussian troops , Napoleon III secretly made a treaty with Franz Joseph of Austria at Villafranca whereby Piedmont would only gain Lombardy . France did not as a result receive the promised Nice and Savoy , but Austria did keep Venetia , a major setback for the Piedmontese , in no small part because the treaty had been prepared without their knowledge . After several quarrels about the outcome of the war , Cavour resigned , and the king had to find other advisors . France indeed only gained Nice and Savoy after the Treaty of Turin was signed in March 1860 , after Cavour had been reinstalled as Prime Minister , and a deal with the French was struck for plebiscites to take place in the Central Italian Duchies . Later that same year , Victor Emmanuel II sent his forces to fight the papal army at Castelfidardo and drove the Pope into Vatican City . His success at these goals led him to be excommunicated from the Catholic Church . Then , Giuseppe Garibaldi conquered Sicily and Naples , and Sardinia - Piedmont grew even larger . On 17 March 1861 the Kingdom of Italy was officially established and Victor Emmanuel II became its king . Victor Emmanuel supported Giuseppe Garibaldi 's Expedition of the Thousand ( 1860 -- 1861 ) , which resulted in the rapid fall of the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies in southern Italy . However , the king halted Garibaldi when he appeared ready to attack Rome , still under the Papal States , as it was under French protection . In 1860 , through local plebiscites , Tuscany , Modena , Parma and Romagna decided to side with Sardinia - Piedmont . Victor Emmanuel then marched victoriously in the Marche and Umbria after the victorious battle of Castelfidardo ( 1860 ) over the Papal forces . The king subsequently met with Garibaldi at Teano , receiving from him the control of southern Italy . Another series of plebiscites in the occupied lands resulted in the proclamation of Victor Emmanuel as the first King of Italy by the new Parliament of unified Italy , on 17 March 1861 . He did not renumber himself after assuming the new royal title , however . Turin became the capital of the new state . Only Rome , Veneto , and Trentino remained to be conquered . Completion of the unification ( edit ) Tomb of Victor Emmanuel II at the Pantheon Main article : Third Italian War of Independence In 1866 Victor Emmanuel allied himself with Prussia in the Third Italian War of Independence . Although not victorious in the Italian theater , he managed anyway to receive Veneto after the Austrian defeat in Germany . In 1870 , after two failed attempts by Garibaldi , he also took advantage of the Prussian victory over France in the Franco - Prussian War to capture Rome after the French withdrew . He entered Rome on 20 September 1870 and set up the new capital there on 2 July 1871 , after a temporary move to Florence in 1864 . The new Royal residence was the Quirinal Palace . The rest of Victor Emmanuel II 's reign was much quieter . After the Kingdom of Italy was established he decided to continue on as King Victor Emmanuel II instead of Victor Emmanuel I of Italy . This was a terrible move as far as public relations went as it was not indicative of the fresh start that the Italian people wanted and suggested that Sardinia - Piedmont had taken over the Italian Peninsula , rather than unifying it . Despite this mishap , the remainder of Victor Emmanuel II 's reign was consumed by wrapping up loose ends and dealing with economic and cultural issues . His role in day - to - day governing gradually dwindled , as it became increasingly apparent that a king could no longer keep a government in office against the will of Parliament . As a result , while the wording of the Statuto Albertino stipulating that ministers were solely responsible to the crown remained unchanged , in practice they were now responsible to Parliament . Victor Emmanuel died in Rome in 1878 , after meeting with Pope Pius IX 's envoys , who had reversed the excommunication , and received last rites . He was buried in the Pantheon . His successor was his son Umberto I . Family and children ( edit ) In 1842 he married his first cousin once removed Adelaide of Austria ( 1822 -- 1855 ) . By her he had eight children : Maria Clotilde ( 1843 -- 1911 ) , who married Napoléon Joseph ( the Prince Napoléon ) . Their grandson Prince Louis Napoléon was the Bonapartist pretender to the French imperial throne . Victor Emmanuel II in Venice Umberto ( 1844 -- 1900 ) , later King of Italy . Amedeo ( 1845 -- 1890 ) , later King of Spain . Oddone Eugenio Maria ( 1846 -- 1866 ) , Duke of Montferrat . Maria Pia ( 1847 -- 1911 ) , who married King Louis of Portugal . Carlo Alberto ( 2 June 1851 -- 28 June 1854 ) , Duke of Chablais . Vittorio Emanuele ( 6 July 1852 -- 6 July 1852 ) . Vittorio Emanuele ( 18 January 1855 -- 17 May 1855 ) , Count of Geneva . In 1869 he married morganatically his principal mistress Rosa Vercellana ( 3 June 1833 -- 26 December 1885 ) . Popularly known in Piedmontese as `` Bela Rosin '' , she was born a commoner but made Countess of Mirafiori and Fontanafredda in 1858 . Their offspring were : Vittoria Guerrieri ( 2 December 1848 -- 29 December 1905 ) , married three times and had issue . Emanuele Alberto Guerrieri ( 16 March 1851 -- 24 December 1894 ) , Count of Mirafiori and Fontanafredda , married and had issue . In addition to his morganatic second wife , Victor Emmanuel II had several other mistresses : -- Virginia Oldoini , Countess of Castiglione , who , as the mistress of Napoleon III , pleaded the case for Italian unification . -- Laura Bon at Stupinigi , who bore him two children : Stillborn son ( 1852 ) . Emanuela Maria Alberta Vittoria di Roverbella ( 6 September 1853 - 1880 / 1890 ) . -- Virginia Rho at Turin , mother of two children : Vittorio di Rho ( 1861 -- Turin , 10 October 1913 ) .

The culmination of the Yorktown campaign , the siege proved to be the last major land battle of the American Revolutionary War in the North American theater , as the surrender by Cornwallis , and the capture of both him and his army , prompted the British government to negotiate an end to the conflict . The battle boosted faltering American morale and revived French enthusiasm for the war , as well as undermining popular support for the conflict in Great Britain . In 1780 , approximately 5,500 French soldiers landed in Rhode Island to assist their American allies in operations against British - controlled New York City . Following the arrival of dispatches from France that included the possibility of support from the French West Indies fleet of the Comte de Grasse , Washington and Rochambeau decided to ask de Grasse for assistance either in besieging New York , or in military operations against a British army operating in Virginia . On the advice of Rochambeau , de Grasse informed them of his intent to sail to the Chesapeake Bay , where Cornwallis had taken command of the army . Cornwallis , at first given confusing orders by his superior officer , Henry Clinton , was eventually ordered to build a defensible deep - water port , which he began to do in Yorktown , Virginia . Cornwallis ' movements in Virginia were shadowed by a Continental Army force led by the Marquis de Lafayette . The French and American armies united north of New York City during the summer of 1781 . When word of de Grasse 's decision arrived , both armies began moving south toward Virginia , engaging in tactics of deception to lead the British to believe a siege of New York was planned . De Grasse sailed from the West Indies and arrived at the Chesapeake Bay at the end of August , bringing additional troops and creating a naval blockade of Yorktown . He was transporting 500,000 silver pesos collected from the citizens of Havana , Cuba , to fund supplies for the siege and payroll for the Continental Army . While in Santo Domingo , de Grasse met with Francisco Saavedra de Sangronis , an agent of Carlos III of Spain . De Grasse had planned to leave several of his warships in Santo Domingo . Saavedra promised the assistance of the Spanish navy to protect the French merchant fleet , enabling de Grasse to sail north with all of his warships . In the beginning of September , he defeated a British fleet led by Sir Thomas Graves that came to relieve Cornwallis at the Battle of the Chesapeake . As a result of this victory , de Grasse blocked any escape by sea for Cornwallis . By late September Washington and Rochambeau arrived , and the army and naval forces completely surrounded Cornwallis . After initial preparations , the Americans and French built their first parallel and began the bombardment . With the British defense weakened , on October 14 , 1781 Washington sent two columns to attack the last major remaining British outer defenses . A French column under Wilhelm of the Palatinate - Zweibrücken took Redoubt No. 9 and an American column under Alexander Hamilton took Redoubt No. 10 . With these defenses taken , the allies were able to finish their second parallel . With the American artillery closer and its bombardment more intense than ever , the British position began to deteriorate rapidly and Cornwallis asked for capitulation terms on October 17 . After two days of negotiation , the surrender ceremony occurred on October 19 ; Lord Cornwallis was absent from the ceremony . With the capture of more than 7,000 British soldiers , negotiations between the United States and Great Britain began , resulting in the Treaty of Paris of 1783 .

He first raided Richmond , defeating the defending militia , from January 5 -- 7 before falling back to Portsmouth . Admiral Destouches , who arrived in Newport , Rhode Island in July 1780 with a fleet transporting 5,500 soldiers , was encouraged by Washington and French Lieutenant General Rochambeau to move his fleet south , and launch a joint land - naval attack on Arnold 's troops . The Marquis de Lafayette was sent south with 1,200 men to help with the assault . However , Destouches was reluctant to dispatch many ships , and in February sent only three . After they proved ineffective , he took a larger force of 8 ships in March 1781 , and fought a tactically inconclusive battle with the British fleet of Marriot Arbuthnot at the mouth of the Chesapeake Bay . Destouches withdrew due to the damage sustained to his fleet , leaving Arbuthnot and the British fleet in control of the bay 's mouth . On March 26 , Arnold was joined by 2,300 troops under command of Major General William Phillips , who took command of the combined forces . Phillips resumed raiding , defeating the militia at Blandford , then burning the tobacco warehouses at Petersburg on April 25 . Richmond was about to suffer the same fate , but Lafayette arrived . The British , not wanting to engage in a major battle , withdrew to Petersburg on May 10 . National Park Service map of the W3R Route On May 20 , Charles Cornwallis arrived at Petersburg with 1,500 men after suffering heavy casualties at the Battle of Guilford Courthouse . He immediately assumed command , as Phillips had recently died of a fever . Cornwallis had not received permission to abandon the Carolinas from his superior , Henry Clinton , but he believed that Virginia would be easier to capture , feeling that it would approve of an invading British army . With the arrival of Cornwallis and more reinforcements from New York , the British Army numbered 7,200 men . Cornwallis wanted to push Lafayette , whose force now numbered 3,000 men with the arrival of Virginia militia . On May 24 , he set out after Lafayette , who withdrew from Richmond , and linked forces with those under the command of Baron von Steuben and Anthony Wayne . Cornwallis did not pursue Lafayette . Instead , he sent raiders into central Virginia , where they attacked depots and supply convoys , before being recalled on June 20 . Cornwallis then headed for Williamsburg , and Lafayette 's force of now 4,500 followed him . General Clinton , in a confusing series of orders , ordered Cornwallis first to Portsmouth and then Yorktown , where he was instructed to build fortifications for a deep water port . On July 6 , the French and American armies met at White Plains , north of New York City . Although Rochambeau had almost 40 years of warfare experience , he never challenged Washington 's authority , telling Washington he had come to serve , not to command . Washington and Rochambeau discussed where to launch a joint attack . Washington believed an attack on New York was the best option , since the Americans and French now outnumbered the British defenders 3 to 1 . Rochambeau disagreed , arguing the fleet in the West Indies under Admiral de Grasse was going to sail to the American coast , where easier options than attacking New York could be attempted . In early July , Washington suggested an attack be made at the northern part of Manhattan Island , but his officers and Rochambeau all disagreed . Washington continued to probe the New York area until August 14 , when he received a letter from de Grasse stating he was headed for Virginia with 29 warships and 3,200 soldiers , but could only remain there until October 14 . De Grasse encouraged Washington to move south so they could launch a joint operation . Washington abandoned his plan to take New York , and began to prepare his army for the march south to Virginia . March to Virginia ( edit ) On August 19 , the march to Yorktown led by Washington and Rochambeau began , which is known now as the `` celebrated march . '' 4,000 French and 3,000 American soldiers began the march in Newport , Rhode Island , while the rest remained behind to protect the Hudson Valley . Washington wanted to maintain complete secrecy of their destination . To ensure this , he sent out fake dispatches that reached Clinton revealing that the Franco - American army was going to launch an attack on New York , and that Cornwallis was not in danger . The French and American armies marched through Philadelphia from September 2 to the 4th , where the American soldiers announced they would not leave Maryland until they received one month 's pay in coin , rather than in the worthless Continental paper currency . General Rochambeau generously loaned Washington half of his supply of gold Spanish coins . This would be the last time the men would be paid . It significantly strengthened French and American relations On September 5 , Washington learned of the arrival of de Grasse 's fleet off the Virginia Capes . De Grasse debarked his French troops to join Lafayette , and then sent his empty transports to pick up the American troops . Washington made a visit to his home , Mount Vernon , on his way to Yorktown . In August , Admiral Sir Thomas Graves led a fleet from New York to attack de Grasse 's fleet . Graves did not realize how large the French fleet was , and neither did Cornwallis . The British fleet was defeated by de Grasse 's fleet in the Battle of the Chesapeake on September 5 , and forced to fall back to New York . On September 14 , Washington arrived in Williamsburg , Virginia . The siege ( edit ) See also : Yorktown order of battle Siège de Yorktown by Auguste Couder , c. 1836 . Rochambeau and Washington giving their last orders before the battle . Initial movements ( edit ) On September 26 , transports with artillery , siege tools , and some French infantry and shock troops from Head of Elk , the northern end of the Chesapeake Bay , arrived , giving Washington command of an army of 7,800 Frenchmen , 3,100 militia , and 8,000 Continentals . Early on September 28 , Washington led the army out of Williamsburg to surround Yorktown . The French took the positions on the left while the Americans took the position of honor on the right . Cornwallis had a chain of seven redoubts and batteries linked by earthworks along with batteries that covered the narrows of the York River at Gloucester Point . That day , Washington reconnoitered the British defenses and decided that they could be bombarded into submission . The Americans and the French spent the night of the 28th sleeping out in the open , while work parties built bridges over the marsh . Some of the American soldiers hunted down wild hogs to eat . On September 29 , Washington moved the army closer to Yorktown and British gunners opened fire on the infantry . Throughout the day several British cannon fired on the Americans but there were few casualties . Fire was also exchanged between American riflemen and Hessian Jägers . Cornwallis pulled back from all of his outer defenses , except for the Fusilier 's redoubt on the west side of the town and redoubts 9 and 10 in the east . Cornwallis had his forces occupy the earthworks immediately surrounding the town because he had received a letter from Clinton that promised relief force of 5,000 men within a week and he wished to tighten his lines . The Americans and the French occupied the abandoned defenses and began to establish their own batteries there . With the British outer defenses in their hands , allied engineers began to lay out positions for the artillery . The men improved their works and deepened their trenches . The British also worked on improving their defenses . On September 30 , the French attacked the British Fusiliers redoubt . The skirmish lasted two hours , in which the French were repulsed suffering several casualties . On October 1 , the allies learned from British deserters that , to preserve their food , the British had slaughtered hundreds of horses and thrown them on the beach . In the American camp , thousands of trees were cut down to provide wood for earthworks . Preparations for the parallel also began . As the allies began to put their artillery into place , the British kept up a steady fire to disrupt them . British fire increased on the 2nd and the allies suffered moderate casualties . General Washington continued to make visits to the front , despite concern shown by several of his officers over the increasing enemy fire . On the night of October 2 , the British opened a storm of fire to cover up the movement of the British cavalry to Gloucester where they were to escort infantrymen on a foraging party . On the 3rd , the foraging party , led by Banastre Tarleton , went out but collided with Lauzun 's Legion , and John Mercer 's Virginia militia , led by the Marquis de Choisy . The British cavalry quickly retreated back behind their defensive lines , losing 50 men . By October 5 , Washington was almost ready to open the first parallel . That night the sappers and miners worked , putting strips of pine on the wet sand to mark the path of the trenches . Bombardment ( edit ) After nightfall on October 6 , troops moved out in stormy weather to dig the first parallel : the heavily overcast sky negated the waning full moon and shielded the massive digging operation from the eyes of British sentries . Washington ceremoniously struck several blows with his pick axe to begin the trench . The trench was to be 2,000 yards ( 1,800 m ) long , running from the head of Yorktown to the York River . Half of the trench was to be commanded by the French , the other half by the Americans . On the northernmost end of the French line , a support trench was dug so that they could bombard the British ships in the river . The French were ordered to distract the British with a false attack , but the British were told of the plan by a French deserter and the British artillery fire turned on the French from the Fusiliers redoubt . Washington firing the first gun On October 7 , the British saw the new allied trench just out of musket - range . Over the next two days the allies completed the gun placements and dragged the artillery into line . The British fire began to weaken when they saw the large number of guns the allies had . By October 9 , all of the French and American guns were in place . Among the American guns there were three twenty - four pounders , three eighteen pounders , two eight - inch ( 203 mm ) howitzers and six mortars , totaling fourteen guns . At 3 : 00 pm , the French guns opened the barrage and drove the British frigate , HMS Guadeloupe across the York River , where she was scuttled to prevent capture . At 5 : 00 pm the Americans opened fire . Washington fired the first gun ; legend has it that this shot smashed into a table where British officers were eating . The Franco - American guns began to tear apart the British defenses . Washington ordered that the guns fire all night so that the British could not make repairs . All of the British guns on the left were soon silenced . The British soldiers began to pitch their tents in their trenches and soldiers began to desert in large numbers . Some British ships were also damaged by cannonballs that flew across the town into the harbor . On October 10 , the Americans spotted a large house in Yorktown . Believing that Cornwallis might be stationed there , they aimed at it and quickly destroyed it . Cornwallis sank more than a dozen of his ships in the harbor . The French began to fire at the British ships and scored a hit on the British HMS Charon , which caught fire , and in turn set two or three other ships on fire . Cornwallis received word from Clinton that the British fleet was to depart on October 12 , however Cornwallis responded by saying that he would not be able to hold out for long . On the night of October 11 , Washington ordered that the Americans dig a second parallel . It was 400 yards ( 370 m ) closer to the British lines , but could not be extended to the river because the British number 9 and 10 redoubts were in the way . During the night , the British fire continued to land in the old line ; Cornwallis did not suspect that a new parallel was being dug . By morning of the 12th , the allied troops were in position on the new line . Assault on the redoubts ( edit ) Storming of Redoubt # 10 The storming of Redoubt No. 10 , by Eugene Lami By October 14 , the trenches were within 150 yards ( 140 m ) of redoubts No. 9 and No. 10 . Washington ordered that all guns within range begin blasting the redoubts to weaken them for an assault that evening . Washington planned to use the cover of a moonless night to gain the element of surprise . To reinforce the darkness , he added silence , ordering that no soldier should load his musket until reaching the fortifications - the advance would be made with only `` cold steel . '' Redoubt 10 was near the river and held only 70 men , while redoubt 9 was a quarter of a mile inland , and was held by 120 British and Germans . Both redoubts were heavily fortified with rows of abatis surrounding them , along with muddy ditches that surrounded the redoubts at about 25 yards ( 23 m ) . Washington devised a plan in which the French would launch a diversionary attack on the Fusiliers redoubt , and then a half an hour later , the French would assault redoubt 9 and the Americans redoubt 10 . Redoubt 9 would be assaulted by 400 French regular soldiers under the command of the German Lieutenant Colonel Wilhelm von Zweibrücken and redoubt 10 would be assaulted by 400 light infantry troops under the command of Alexander Hamilton . There was briefly a dispute as to who should lead the attack on Redoubt No. 10 . Lafayette named his aide , Jean - Joseph Sourbader de Gimat , who commanded a battalion of Continental light infantry . However , Hamilton protested , saying that he was the senior officer . Washington concurred with Hamilton and gave him command of the attack . Storming of Redoubt # 9 At 6 : 30 pm , gunfire announced the diversionary attack on the Fusiliers redoubt . At other places in the line , movements were made as if preparing for an assault on Yorktown itself , which caused the British to panic . With bayonets fixed , the Americans marched towards Redoubt No. 10 . Hamilton sent Lieutenant Colonel John Laurens around to the rear of the redoubt to prevent the British from escaping . The Americans reached the redoubt and began chopping through the British wooden defenses with their axes . A British sentry called a challenge , and then fired at the Americans . The Americans responded by charging with their bayonets towards the redoubt . They hacked through the abatis , crossed a ditch and climbed the parapet into the redoubt . The Americans forced their way into the redoubt falling into giant shell holes from the bombardment of the redoubts . The British fire was heavy , but the Americans overwhelmed them . Someone in the front shouted , `` Rush on boys ! The fort 's ours ! '' The British threw hand grenades at the Americans with little effect . Men in the trench stood on the shoulders of their comrades to climb into the redoubt . The bayonet fight cleared the British out of the redoubt and almost the entire garrison was captured , including the commander of the redoubt , Major Campbell . In the assault , the Americans lost 9 dead and 25 wounded . The French assault began at the same time , but they were halted by the abatis , which was undamaged by the artillery fire . The French began to hack at the abatis and a Hessian sentry came out and asked who was there . When there was no response , the sentry opened fire as did other Hessians on the parapet . The French soldiers fired back , and then charged the redoubt . The Germans charged the Frenchmen climbing over the walls but the French fired a volley , driving them back . The Hessians then took a defensive position behind some barrels but threw down their arms and surrendered when the French prepared a bayonet charge . With the capture of redoubts 9 and 10 , Washington was able to have his artillery shell the town from three directions and the allies moved some of their artillery into the redoubts . On October 15 , Cornwallis turned all of his guns onto the nearest allied position . He then ordered a storming party of 350 British troops under the command of Colonel Robert Abercromby to attack the allied lines and spike the American and French cannon ( i.e. , plug the touch hole with an iron spike ) . The allies were sleeping and unprepared . As the British charged Abercromby shouted `` Push on my brave boys , and skin the bastards ! '' The British party spiked several cannon in the parallel and then spiked the guns on an unfinished redoubt . A French party came and drove them out of the allied lines and back to Yorktown . The British had been able to spike six guns , but by the morning they were all repaired . The bombardment resumed with the American and French troops engaged in competition to see who could do the most damage to the enemy defenses . On the morning of October 16 , more allied guns were in line and the fire intensified . In desperation , Cornwallis attempted to evacuate his troops across the York River to Gloucester Point . At Gloucester Point the troops might be able to break through the allied lines and escape into Virginia and then march to New York . One wave of boats made it across but a squall hit when they returned to take more soldiers across , making the evacuation impossible . British surrender ( edit ) Overview of the capitulation of the British army at Yorktown , with the blockade of the French squadron The fire on Yorktown from the allies was heavier than ever as new artillery pieces joined the line . Cornwallis talked with his officers that day and they agreed that their situation was hopeless . On the morning of October 17 , a drummer appeared followed by an officer waving a white handkerchief . The bombardment ceased , and the officer was blindfolded and led behind the French and American lines . Negotiations began at the Moore House on October 18 between Lieutenant Colonel Thomas Dundas and Major Alexander Ross ( who represented the British ) and Lieutenant Colonel Laurens ( who represented the Americans ) and the Marquis de Noailles ( who represented the French ) . To make sure that nothing fell apart between the French and Americans at the last minute , Washington ordered that the French be given an equal share in every step of the surrender process . The surrender of Lord Cornwallis , October 19 , 1781 at Yorktown The articles of capitulation were signed on October 19 , 1781 . Signatories included Washington , Rochambeau , the Comte de Barras ( on behalf of the French Navy ) , Cornwallis , and Captain Thomas Symonds ( the senior Royal Navy officer present ) . Cornwallis ' British men were declared prisoners of war , promised good treatment in American camps , and officers were permitted to return home after taking their parole . At 2 : 00 pm the allied army entered the British positions , with the French on the left and the Americans on the right . The British had asked for the traditional honors of war , which would allow the army to march out with flags flying , bayonets fixed , and the band playing an American or French tune as a tribute to the victors . However , Washington firmly refused to grant the British the honors that they had denied the defeated American army the year before at the Siege of Charleston . Consequently , the British and Hessian troops marched with flags furled and muskets shouldered , while the band was forced to play `` a British or German march . '' American history books recount the legend that the British band played `` The World Turn 'd Upside Down '' , but the story is apocryphal . Surrender of Cornwallis . At York - town , VA Oct. 1781 , Nathaniel Currier . D'Amour Museum of Fine Arts Cornwallis refused to attend the surrender ceremony , citing illness . Instead , Brigadier General Charles O'Hara led the British army onto the field . O'Hara first attempted to surrender to Rochambeau , who shook his head and pointed to Washington . O'Hara then offered his sword to Washington , who also refused and motioned to Benjamin Lincoln . The surrender finally took place when Washington 's second - in - command accepted the sword of Cornwallis ' deputy . The British soldiers marched out and laid down their arms in between the French and American armies , while many civilians watched . At this time , the troops on the other side of the river in Gloucester also surrendered . The British soldiers had been issued new uniforms hours before the surrender and until prevented by General O'Hara some threw down their muskets with the apparent intention of smashing them . Others wept or appeared to be drunk . In all , 8,000 troops , 214 artillery pieces , thousands of muskets , 24 transport ships , wagons and horses were captured . Casualties ( edit ) The French casualties were 60 killed and 194 wounded and the American casualties were 28 killed and 107 wounded : a grand total of 88 killed and 301 wounded . The British official casualty return for the siege listed 156 killed , 326 wounded and 70 missing . Cornwallis surrendered 7,087 officers and enlisted men in Yorktown when he capitulated and a further 840 sailors from the British fleet in the York River . Another 84 prisoners had been taken during the assault on the redoubts on October 16 . Since only 70 men were reported as missing , this would suggest that 14 of the men officially marked down as ' killed ' had in fact been captured . This gives a grand total of 142 killed , 326 wounded prisoners and 7,685 other prisoners . Jerome A. Greene mentions a German account that gives much higher figures : 309 killed and 595 wounded . Article 10 controversy ( edit ) George Washington refused to accept the Tenth Article of the Yorktown Articles of Capitulation , which granted immunity to American Loyalists , and Cornwallis failed to make any effort to press the matter . `` The outcry against the Tenth Article was vociferous and immediate , as Americans on both sides of the Atlantic proclaimed their sense of betrayal . '' Effect of disease ( edit ) Malaria was endemic in the marshlands of eastern Virginia during the time , and Cornwallis 's army suffered greatly from the disease ; he estimated during the surrender that half of his army was unable to fight as a result . The Continental Army enjoyed an advantage , in that most of their members had grown up with malaria , and hence had acquired resistance to the disease . As malaria has a month - long incubation period , most of the French soldiers had not begun to exhibit symptoms before the surrender . Aftermath ( edit ) The victory at Yorktown was honored in a 1783 medallion minted in Paris and designed there by US Ambassador Benjamin Franklin . Five days after the battle ended , on October 24 , 1781 , the British fleet sent by Clinton to rescue the British army arrived . The fleet picked up several Loyalists who had escaped on October 18 , and they informed Admiral Thomas Graves that they believed Cornwallis had surrendered . Graves picked up several more Loyalists along the coast , and they confirmed this fact . Graves sighted the French Fleet , but chose to leave because he was outnumbered by nine ships , and thus he sent the fleet back to New York . After the British surrender , Washington sent Tench Tilghman to report the victory to Congress . After a difficult journey , he arrived in Philadelphia , which celebrated for several days . The British Prime Minister , Lord North , is reported to have exclaimed `` Oh God , it 's all over '' when told of the defeat . Washington moved his army to New Windsor , New York where they remained stationed until the Treaty of Paris was signed on September 3 , 1783 , formally ending the war . Legacy ( edit ) US Postage Stamp , 1931 issue , depicting Rochambeau , George Washington and De Grasse , commemorating 150th anniversary of the victory at Yorktown , 1781 On October 19 , 1881 , an elaborate ceremony took place to honor the battle 's centennial . U.S. naval vessels floated on Chesapeake Bay , and special markers highlighted where Washington and Lafayette 's siege guns were placed . President Chester Arthur , sworn in only thirty days before , following James Garfield 's death , made his first public speech as president . Also present were descendants of Lafayette , Rochambeau , de Grasse , and Steuben . To close the ceremony , Arthur gave an order to salute the British flag . There is a belief that General Cornwallis 's sword , surrendered by Charles O'Hara after the battle , is to this day on display at the White House . However , U.S. National Park Service historian Jerome Green , in his 2005 history of the siege , The Guns of Independence , concurs with the 1881 centennial account by Johnston , noting simply that when Brigadier General O'Hara presented the sword to Major General Lincoln , he held it for a moment and immediately returned it to O'Hara . The siege of Yorktown is also known in some German historiographies as `` die deutsche Schlacht '' ( `` the German battle '' ) , because Germans played significant roles in all three armies , accounting for roughly one third of all forces involved . According to one estimate more than 2,500 German soldiers served at Yorktown with each of the British and French armies , and more than 3,000 German - Americans were in Washington 's army . Four Army National Guard units ( 113th Inf , 116th Inf , 175th Inf and 198th Sig Bn ) and one active Regular Army Field Artillery battalion ( 1 -- 5th FA ) are derived from American units that participated in the Battle of Yorktown . There are thirty current U.S. Army units with lineages that go back the colonial era . Yorktown victory monument ( edit ) Yorktown Victory Monument Five days after the British surrendered , Congress passed a resolution agreeing to erect a structure dedicated to commemorating those who participated in the battle . Construction of the monument was delayed , however , as the federal government had several other financial obligations that were considered to be of a more urgent nature . The battle 's centennial sparked renewed enthusiasm in the resolution and prompted the government to begin building the monument in 1881 amid national support . The structure was formally erected in 1884 and currently resides within Colonial National Historical Park .

"The Siege of Yorktown, also known as the Battle of Yorktown, the Surrender at Yorktown, German Battle or the Siege of Little York,[a][b] ending on October 19, 1781, at Yorktown, Virginia, was a decisive victory by a combined force of American Continental Army troops led by General George Washington and French Army troops led by the Comte de Rochambeau over a British Army commanded by British peer and Lieutenant General Charles Cornwallis. The culmination of the Yorktown campaign, the siege proved to be the last major land battle of the American Revolutionary War in the North American theater, as the surrender by Cornwallis, and the capture of both him and his army, prompted the British government to negotiate an end to the conflict. The battle boosted faltering American morale and revived French enthusiasm for the war, as well as undermining popular support for the conflict in Great Britain.[8]"

Competitors during the 2007 Berlin Marathon Competitors during the 2014 Orlen Warsaw Marathon The marathon is a long - distance running race with an official distance of 42.195 kilometres ( 26.219 miles , or 26 miles 385 yards ) , usually run as a road race . The event was instituted in commemoration of the fabled run of the Greek soldier Pheidippides , a messenger from the Battle of Marathon to Athens , who reported the victory . The marathon was one of the original modern Olympic events in 1896 , though the distance did not become standardized until 1921 . More than 800 marathons are held throughout the world each year , with the vast majority of competitors being recreational athletes as larger marathons can have tens of thousands of participants .

The legend states that he was sent from the battlefield of Marathon to Athens to announce that the Persians had been defeated in the Battle of Marathon ( in which he had just fought ) , which took place in August or September , 490 BC . It is said that he ran the entire distance without stopping and burst into the assembly , exclaiming νενικήκαμεν ( nenikēkamen , `` we have won ! '' ) , before collapsing and dying . The account of the run from Marathon to Athens first appears in Plutarch 's On the Glory of Athens in the 1st century AD , which quotes from Heraclides Ponticus 's lost work , giving the runner 's name as either Thersipus of Erchius or Eucles . Lucian of Samosata ( 2nd century AD ) also gives the story , but names the runner Philippides ( not Pheidippides ) . There is debate about the historical accuracy of this legend . The Greek historian Herodotus , the main source for the Greco - Persian Wars , mentions Philippides as the messenger who ran from Athens to Sparta asking for help , and then ran back , a distance of over 240 kilometres ( 150 mi ) each way . In some Herodotus manuscripts , the name of the runner between Athens and Sparta is given as Philippides . Herodotus makes no mention of a messenger sent from Marathon to Athens , and relates that the main part of the Athenian army , having fought and won the grueling battle , and fearing a naval raid by the Persian fleet against an undefended Athens , marched quickly back from the battle to Athens , arriving the same day . In 1879 , Robert Browning wrote the poem Pheidippides . Browning 's poem , his composite story , became part of late 19th century popular culture and was accepted as a historic legend . Mount Pentelicus stands between Marathon and Athens , which means that , if Philippides actually made his famous run after the battle , he had to run around the mountain , either to the north or to the south . The latter and more obvious route matches almost exactly the modern Marathon - Athens highway , which follows the lay of the land southwards from Marathon Bay and along the coast , then takes a gentle but protracted climb westwards towards the eastern approach to Athens , between the foothills of Mounts Hymettus and Penteli , and then gently downhill to Athens proper . This route , as it existed when the Olympics were revived in 1896 , was approximately 40 kilometres ( 25 mi ) long , and this was the approximate distance originally used for marathon races . However , there have been suggestions that Philippides might have followed another route : a westward climb along the eastern and northern slopes of Mount Penteli to the pass of Dionysos , and then a straight southward downhill path to Athens . This route is considerably shorter , some 35 kilometres ( 22 mi ) , but includes a very steep initial climb of more than 5 kilometres ( 3.1 mi ) . Modern Olympics Marathon ( edit ) Main article : Marathons at the Olympics When the modern Olympics began in 1896 , the initiators and organizers were looking for a great popularizing event , recalling the glory of ancient Greece . The idea of a marathon race came from Michel Bréal , who wanted the event to feature in the first modern Olympic Games in 1896 in Athens . This idea was heavily supported by Pierre de Coubertin , the founder of the modern Olympics , as well as by the Greeks . The Greeks staged a selection race for the Olympic marathon on 22 March 1896 ( Gregorian ) that was won by Charilaos Vasilakos in 3 hours and 18 minutes ( with the future winner of the introductory Olympic Games marathon , Spyridon `` Spyros '' Louis , coming in fifth at a second race two weeks later ) . The winner of the first Olympic marathon , on 10 April 1896 ( a male - only race ) , was Spyridon Louis , a Greek water - carrier , in 2 hours 58 minutes and 50 seconds . The marathon of the 2004 Summer Olympics was run on the traditional route from Marathon to Athens , ending at Panathinaiko Stadium , the venue for the 1896 Summer Olympics . That men 's marathon was won by Italian Stefano Baldini in 2 hours 10 minutes and 55 seconds , a record time for this route until the non-Olympics Athens Classic Marathon of 2014 , when Felix Kandie lowered the course record to 2 hours 10 minutes and 37 seconds . Burton Holmes ' photograph entitled `` 1896 : Three athletes in training for the marathon at the Olympic Games in Athens '' . The women 's marathon was introduced at the 1984 Summer Olympics ( Los Angeles , USA ) and was won by Joan Benoit of the United States with a time of 2 hours 24 minutes and 52 seconds . It has become a tradition for the men 's Olympic marathon to be the last event of the athletics calendar , on the final day of the Olympics . For many years the race finished inside the Olympic stadium ; however , at the 2012 London Olympics , the start and finish were on The Mall , and at the 2016 Rio games , the start and finish were in the Sambódromo , the parade area that serves as a spectator mall for Carnival . Often , the men 's marathon medals are awarded during the closing ceremony ( including the 2004 games , 2012 games and 2016 games ) . The Olympic men 's record is 2 : 06 : 32 , set at the 2008 Summer Olympics by Samuel Kamau Wanjiru of Kenya ( average speed about 20.01 kilometres per hour or 12.43 miles per hour ) . The Olympic women 's record is 2 : 23 : 07 , set at the 2012 Summer Olympics by Tiki Gelana of Ethiopia . The men 's London 2012 Summer Olympic marathon winner was Stephen Kiprotich of Uganda ( 2 : 08 : 01 ) . Per capita , the Kalenjin ethnic group of Rift Valley Province in Kenya has produced a highly disproportionate share of marathon and track - and - field winners . Marathon mania ( edit ) Johnny Hayes ' victory at the 1908 Summer Olympics contributed to the early growth of long - distance running and marathoning in the United States . Later that year , races around the holiday season including the Empire City Marathon held on New Year 's Day 1909 in Yonkers , New York , marked the early running craze referred to as `` marathon mania '' . Following the 1908 Olympics , the first five amateur marathons in New York City were held on days that held special meanings : Thanksgiving Day , the day after Christmas , New Year 's Day , Washington 's Birthday , and Lincoln 's Birthday . Frank Shorter 's victory in the marathon at the 1972 Summer Olympics would spur national enthusiasm for the sport more intense than that which followed Hayes ' win 64 years earlier . In 2014 , an estimated 550,600 runners completed a marathon within the United States . This can be compared to 143,000 in 1980 . Today marathons are held all around the world on a nearly weekly basis . Inclusion of women ( edit ) For a long time after the Olympic marathon started , there were no long - distance races , such as the marathon , for women . Although a few women such as Stamata Revithi had run the marathon distance , they were not included in any official results . Marie - Louise Ledru has been credited as the first woman to complete a marathon , in 1918 . Violet Piercy has been credited as the first woman to be officially timed in a marathon , in 1926 . Arlene Pieper became the first woman to officially finish a marathon in the United States when she completed the Pikes Peak Marathon in Manitou Springs , Colorado , in 1959 . Kathrine Switzer was the first woman to run the Boston Marathon `` officially '' ( with a number ) . However , Switzer 's entry , which was accepted through an `` oversight '' in the screening process , was in `` flagrant violation of the rules '' , and she was treated as an interloper once the error was discovered . Bobbi Gibb had completed the Boston race unofficially the previous year ( 1966 ) , and was later recognized by the race organizers as the women 's winner for that year , as well as 1967 and 1968 . In 2015 Afghanistan held its first marathon ; among those who ran the entire marathon was one woman , Zainab , age 25 , who thus became the first Afghan woman to run in a marathon within her own country . Distance ( edit ) Olympic marathon distances Year Distance ( km ) Distance ( miles ) 1896 40 24.85 1900 40.26 25.02 1904 40 24.85 1906 41.86 26.01 1908 42.195 26.22 1912 40.2 24.98 1920 42.75 26.56 1924 onward 42.195 26.22 The length of an Olympic marathon was not precisely fixed at first , but the marathon races in the first few Olympic Games were about 40 kilometres ( 25 mi ) , roughly the distance from Marathon to Athens by the longer , flatter route . The exact length depended on the route established for each venue . 1908 Olympics ( edit ) Main article : Athletics at the 1908 Summer Olympics -- Men 's marathon The International Olympic Committee agreed in 1907 that the distance for the 1908 London Olympic marathon would be about 25 miles or 40 kilometres . The organisers decided on a course of 26 miles from the start at Windsor Castle to the royal entrance to the White City Stadium , followed by a lap ( 586 yards 2 feet ; 536 m ) of the track , finishing in front of the Royal Box . The course was later altered to use a different entrance to the stadium , followed by a partial lap of 385 yards to the same finish . The modern 42.195 km standard distance for the marathon was set by the International Amateur Athletic Federation ( IAAF ) in May 1921 directly from the length used at the 1908 Summer Olympics in London . IAAF and World records ( edit ) Samuel Wanjiru raises his hand in acknowledgment of the crowd as he runs to a gold medal in the 2008 Olympic marathon An official IAAF marathon course is 42.195 km ( 42 m tolerance only in excess ) . Course officials add a short course prevention factor of up to one metre per kilometre to their measurements to reduce the risk of a measuring error producing a length below the minimum distance . For events governed by IAAF rules , it is mandatory that the route be marked so that all competitors can see the distance covered in kilometres . The rules make no mention of the use of miles . The IAAF will only recognise world records that are established at events that are run under IAAF rules . For major events , it is customary to publish competitors ' timings at the midway mark and also at 5 km splits ; marathon runners can be credited with world records for lesser distances recognised by the IAAF ( such as 20 km , 30 km and so on ) if such records are established while the runner is running a marathon , and completes the marathon course . Marathon races ( edit ) See also : List of marathon races 2007 Barcelona Marathon Annually , more than 800 marathons are organized worldwide . Some of these belong to the Association of International Marathons and Distance Races ( AIMS ) which has grown since its foundation in 1982 to embrace over 300 member events in 83 countries and territories . The marathons of Berlin , Boston , Chicago , London , New York City and Tokyo form the biennial World Marathon Majors series , awarding $500,000 annually to the best overall male and female performers in the series . In 2006 , the editors of Runner 's World selected a `` World 's Top 10 Marathons '' , in which the Amsterdam , Honolulu , Paris , Rotterdam , and Stockholm marathons were featured along with the five original World Marathon Majors events ( excluding Tokyo ) . Other notable large marathons include United States Marine Corps Marathon , Los Angeles , and Rome . The Boston Marathon is the world 's oldest annual marathon , inspired by the success of the 1896 Olympic marathon and held every year since 1897 to celebrate Patriots Day , a holiday marking the beginning of the American Revolution , thereby purposely linking Athenian and American struggle for democracy . The oldest annual marathon in Europe is the Košice Peace Marathon , held since 1924 in Košice , Slovakia . The historic Polytechnic Marathon was discontinued in 1996 . The Athens Classic Marathon traces the route of the 1896 Olympic course , starting in Marathon on the eastern coast of Attica , site of the Battle of Marathon of 490 B.C.E. , and ending at the Panathenaic Stadium in Athens . The Midnight Sun Marathon is held in Tromsø , Norway at 70 degrees north . Using unofficial and temporary courses , measured by GPS , races of marathon distance are now held at the North Pole , in Antarctica and over desert terrain . Other unusual marathons include the Great Wall Marathon on The Great Wall of China , the Big Five Marathon among the safari wildlife of South Africa , the Great Tibetan Marathon -- a marathon in an atmosphere of Tibetan Buddhism at an altitude of 3,500 metres ( 11,500 ft ) , and the Polar Circle Marathon on the permanent ice cap of Greenland . The Intercontinental Istanbul Eurasia Marathon is the only marathon where participants run over two continents ( Europe and Asia ) during the course of a single event . In the Detroit Free Press Marathon , participants cross the US / Canada border twice . The Niagara Falls International Marathon includes one international border crossing , via the Peace Bridge from Buffalo , New York , United States to Fort Erie , Ontario , Canada . Wheelchair division ( edit ) A pack of Wheelchair Division participants in the 2009 Boston Marathon Many marathons feature a wheelchair division . Typically , those in the wheelchair racing division start their races earlier than their running counterparts . The first wheelchair marathon was in 1974 in Toledo , Ohio , won by Bob Hall in 2 : 54 . Hall competed in the 1975 Boston Marathon and finished in 2 : 58 , inaugurating the introduction of wheelchair divisions into the Boston Marathon . From 1977 the race was declared the US National Wheelchair championship . The Boston Marathon awards $10,000 to the winning push - rim athlete . Ernst van Dyk has won the Boston Marathon wheelchair division ten times and holds the world record at 1 : 18 : 27 , set in Boston in 2004 . Jean Driscoll won eight times ( seven consecutively ) and holds the women 's world record at 1 : 34 : 22 . The New York City Marathon banned wheelchair entrants in 1977 , citing safety concerns , but then voluntarily allowed Bob Hall to compete after the state Division of Human Rights ordered the marathon to show cause . The Division ruled in 1979 that the New York City Marathon and New York Road Runners club had to allow wheelchair athletes to compete , and confirmed this at appeal in 1980 , but the State Supreme Court ruled in 1981 that a ban on wheelchair racers was not discriminatory as the marathon was historically a foot race . However , by 1986 14 wheelchair athletes were competing , and an official wheelchair division was added to the marathon in 2000 . Some of the quickest people to complete a wheel - chair marathon include Thomas Geierpichler ( Austria ) who won gold in men 's T52 - class marathon ( no lower limb function ) in 1 hr 49 min 7 sec in Beijing China , on September 17 , 2008 ; and , Heinz Frei ( Switzerland ) who won the men 's T54 marathon ( for racers with spinal cord injuries ) in a time of 1 hr 20 min and 14 sec in Oita , Japan , October 31 , 1999 . Statistics ( edit ) See also : Marathon world record progression and Marathon year rankings World records and World 's best ( edit ) World records were not officially recognized by the IAAF until 1 January 2004 ; previously , the best times for the marathon were referred to as the ' world best ' . Courses must conform to IAAF standards for a record to be recognized . However , marathon routes still vary greatly in elevation , course , and surface , making exact comparisons impossible . Typically , the fastest times are set over relatively flat courses near sea level , during good weather conditions and with the assistance of pacesetters . The current world record time for men over the distance is 2 hours 2 minutes and 57 seconds , set in the Berlin Marathon by Dennis Kimetto of Kenya on 28 September 2014 , an improvement of 26 seconds over the previous record also set in the Berlin Marathon by Wilson Kipsang , also of Kenya on 29 September 2013 . The world record for women was set by Paula Radcliffe of Great Britain in the London Marathon on 13 April 2003 , in 2 hours 15 minutes and 25 seconds .

Rita Sitienei Jeptoo also ran 2 : 19 : 57 ( 2013 ) . Oldest marathoner ( edit ) Fauja Singh , then 100 , finished the Toronto Waterfront Marathon , becoming the first centenarian ever to officially complete that distance . Singh , a British citizen , finished the race on 16 October 2011 with a time of 8 : 11 : 05.9 , making him the oldest marathoner . Because Singh could not produce a birth certificate from rural 1911 Colonial India , the place of his birth , his age could not be verified and his record was not accepted by the official governing body World Masters Athletics . Gladys Burrill , a 92 - year - old Prospect , Oregon woman and part - time resident of Hawaii , previously held the Guinness World Records title of oldest person to complete a marathon with her 9 hours 53 minutes performance at the 2010 Honolulu Marathon . The records of the Association of Road Racing Statisticians , at that time , however , suggested that Singh was overall the oldest marathoner , completing the 2004 London Marathon at the age of 93 years and 17 days , and that Burrill was the oldest female marathoner , completing the 2010 Honolulu Marathon at the age of 92 years and 19 days . Singh 's age was also reported to be 93 by other sources . In 2015 , 92 - yr - old Harriette Thompson of Charlotte , North Carolina , completed the Rock ' n ' Roll San Diego Marathon in 7 hours 24 minutes 36 seconds , thus becoming the oldest woman to complete a marathon . While Gladys Burrill was 92 years and 19 days old when she completed her record - setting marathon , Harriette Thompson was 92 years and 65 days old when she completed hers . Youngest marathoner ( edit ) Budhia Singh , a boy from Odisha , India , completed his first marathon at age three . He trained under the coach Biranchi Das , who saw potential in him . In May 2006 , Budhia was temporarily banned from running by the ministers of child welfare , as his life could be at risk . His coach was also arrested for exploiting and cruelty to a child . Budhia is now at a state - run sports academy . Participation ( edit ) In 2016 , Running USA estimated that there were approximately 507,600 marathon finishers in the United States , while other sources reported greater than 550,000 finishers . The chart below from Running USA provides the estimated U.S. Marathon Finisher totals going back to 1976 . Year Estimated U.S. Marathon Finisher Total 1976 25,000 1980 143,000 224,000 1995 293,000 2000 353,000 386,000 2005 395,000 2006 410,000 2007 412,000 2008 425,000 2009 467,000 507,000 2011 518,000 2012 487,000 ( NYC Marathon cancelled ) 2013 541,000 2014 550,600 ( Record High ) 2015 509,000 2016 507,600 Marathon running has become an obsession in China , with 22 marathon races in 2011 increasing to 400 in 2017 . In 2015 , 75 Chinese runners participated in the Boston Marathon and this increased to 278 in 2017 . Multiple marathons ( edit ) As marathon running has become more popular , some athletes have undertaken challenges involving running a series of marathons . The 100 Marathon Club is intended to provide a focal point for all runners , particularly from the United Kingdom or Ireland , who have completed 100 or more races of marathon distance or longer . At least 10 of these events must be United Kingdom or Ireland Road Marathons . Club chairman Roger Biggs has run more than 700 marathons or ultras . Brian Mills completed his 800th marathon on 17 September 2011 . Steve Edwards , a member of the 100 Marathon Club , set the world record for running 500 marathons in the fastest average finish time of 3 hours 15 minutes , at the same time becoming the first man to run 500 marathons with an official time below 3 hours 30 minutes , on 11 November 2012 at Milton Keynes , England . The records took 24 years to achieve . Edwards was 49 at the time . Over 350 individuals have completed a marathon in each state of the United States plus Washington , D.C. and some have done it as many as eight times . Beverly Paquin , a 22 - year - old nurse from Iowa , was the youngest woman to run a marathon in all 50 states in 2010 . A few weeks later , still in 2010 , Morgan Cummings ( also 22 ) became the youngest woman to complete a marathon in all 50 states and DC . In 2004 , Chuck Bryant of Miami , Florida , who lost his right leg below the knee , became the first amputee to finish this circuit . Bryant has completed a total of 59 marathons on his prosthesis . Twenty - seven people have run a marathon on each of the seven continents , and 31 people have run a marathon in each of the Canadian provinces . In 1980 , in what was termed the Marathon of Hope , Terry Fox , who had lost a leg to cancer and so ran with one artificial leg , attained 5,373 kilometres ( 3,339 mi ) of his proposed cross-Canada cancer fundraising run , maintaining an average of over 37 kilometres ( 23 mi ) , close to the planned marathon distance , for each of 143 consecutive days . Kevin Counihan ( right ) , of the Achilles Track Club , with his guide , running the 2011 Boston Marathon . He completed his 150th marathon at Boston in April 2014 . On 25 September 2011 , Patrick Finney of Grapevine , Texas became the first person with multiple sclerosis to finish a marathon in each state of the United States . In 2004 , `` the disease had left him unable to walk . But unwilling to endure a life of infirmity , Finney managed to regain his ability to balance on two feet , to walk -- and eventually to run -- through extensive rehabilitation therapy and new medications . '' In 2003 British adventurer Sir Ranulph Fiennes completed seven marathons on seven continents in seven days . He completed this feat despite suffering from a heart attack and undergoing a double heart bypass operation just four months before . This feat has since been eclipsed by Irish ultramarathon runner Richard Donovan who in 2009 completed seven marathons on seven continents in under 132 hours ( five and a half days ) . Starting 1 February 2012 he improved on this by completing the 7 on 7 in under 120 hours or in less than five days . On 30 November 2013 , 69 - year - old Larry Macon set a Guinness World Record for Most Marathons Run in a Year by Man by running 238 marathons . Larry Macon celebrated his 1,000 th career marathon at the Cowtown Marathon in Ft . Worth on 24 February 2013 . Other goals are to attempt to run marathons on a series of consecutive weekends ( Richard Worley on 159 weekends ) , or to run the most marathons during a particular year or the most in a lifetime . A pioneer in running multiple marathons was Sy Mah of Toledo , Ohio , who ran 524 before he died in 1988 . As of 30 June 2007 , Horst Preisler of Germany had successfully completed 1214 marathons plus 347 ultramarathons , a total of 1561 events at marathon distance or longer . Sigrid Eichner , Christian Hottas and Hans - Joachim Meyer have also all completed over 1000 marathons each . Norm Frank of the United States is credited with 945 marathons . Christian Hottas is meanwhile the first runner who ever completed 2000 marathons . He ran his 2000th at TUI Marathon Hannover on 5 May 2013 together with a group of more than 80 friends from 11 countries , including 8 officers from the 100 Marathons Clubs U.K. , North - America , Germany , Denmark , Austria and Italy . Hottas completed his 2500th marathon on 4 December 2016 . In 2010 , Stefaan Engels , a Belgian , set out to run the marathon distance every day of the year . Because of a foot injury he had to resort to a handbike near the end of January 2010 . However , on 5 February he was fully recovered and decided to reset the counter back to zero . By 30 March he broke the existing record of Akinori Kusuda , from Japan , who completed 52 marathons in a row in 2009 . On 5 February 2011 , Engels had run 365 marathon distances in as many days . Ricardo Abad Martínez , from Spain , later ran 150 marathons in 150 consecutive days in 2009 , and subsequently 500 marathons in a row , from October 2010 to February 2012 . Some runners compete to run the same marathons for the most consecutive years . For example , Johnny Kelley completed 61 Boston Marathons . Currently , the longest consecutive streak of Boston Marathon finishes -- 45 in a row -- is held by Bennett Beach , of Bethesda , Maryland .

More important for most runners is their personal finish time and their placement within their specific gender and age group , though some runners just want to finish . Strategies for completing a marathon include running the whole distance and a run -- walk strategy . In 2005 , the average marathon time in the U.S. was 4 hours 32 minutes 8 seconds for men , 5 hours 6 minutes 8 seconds for women . In 2015 , the men 's and women 's median marathon times were 4 hours 20 minutes 13 seconds and 4 hours 45 minutes 30 seconds respectively . A goal many runners aim for is to break certain time barriers . For example , recreational first - timers often try to run the marathon under four hours ; more competitive runners may attempt to finish under three hours . Other benchmarks are the qualifying times for major marathons . The Boston Marathon , the oldest marathon in the United States , requires a qualifying time for all non-professional runners . The New York City Marathon also requires a qualifying time for guaranteed entry , at a significantly faster pace than Boston 's . Typically , there is a maximum allowed time of about six hours after which the marathon route is closed , although some larger marathons keep the course open considerably longer ( eight hours or more ) . Many marathons around the world have such time limits by which all runners must have crossed the finish line . Anyone slower than the limit will be picked up by a sweeper bus . In many cases the marathon organizers are required to reopen the roads to the public so that traffic can return to normal . With the growth in popularity of marathoning , many marathons across the United States and the world have been filling to capacity faster than ever before . When the Boston Marathon opened up registration for its 2011 running , the field capacity was filled within eight hours . Training ( edit ) MoonWalk is a nocturnal charity marathon to raise money for breast cancer research . The long run is an important element in marathon training . Recreational runners commonly try to reach a maximum of about 32 km ( 20 mi ) in their longest weekly run and a total of about 64 km ( 40 mi ) a week when training for the marathon , but wide variability exists in practice and in recommendations . More experienced marathoners may run a longer distance during the week . Greater weekly training mileages can offer greater results in terms of distance and endurance , but also carry a greater risk of training injury . Most male elite marathon runners will have weekly mileages of over 160 km ( 100 mi ) . It is recommended that those new to running should get a checkup from their doctor , as there are certain warning signs and risk factors that should be evaluated before undertaking any new workout program , especially marathon training . Many training programs last a minimum of five or six months , with a gradual increase in the distance run and finally , for recovery , a period of tapering in the weeks preceding the race . For beginners wishing to merely finish a marathon , a minimum of four months of running four days a week is recommended . Many trainers recommend a weekly increase in mileage of no more than 10 % . It is also often advised to maintain a consistent running program for six weeks or so before beginning a marathon training program , to allow the body to adapt to the new stresses . The marathon training program itself would suppose variation between hard and easy training , with a periodization of the general plan . Training programs can be found at the websites of Runner 's World , Hal Higdon , Jeff Galloway , and the Boston Athletic Association , and in numerous other published sources , including the websites of specific marathons . The last long training run might be undertaken up to two weeks prior to the event . Many marathon runners also `` carbo - load '' ( increase carbohydrate intake while holding total caloric intake constant ) during the week before the marathon to allow their bodies to store more glycogen . Glycogen and `` the wall '' ( edit ) Main article : Hitting the wall A competitor collapses just prior to the finish line of the 2006 Melbourne Marathon Carbohydrates that a person eats are converted by the liver and muscles into glycogen for storage . Glycogen burns rapidly to provide quick energy . Runners can store about 8 MJ or 2,000 kcal worth of glycogen in their bodies , enough for about 30 km / 18 -- 20 miles of running . Many runners report that running becomes noticeably more difficult at that point . When glycogen runs low , the body must then obtain energy by burning stored fat , which does not burn as readily . When this happens , the runner will experience dramatic fatigue and is said to `` hit the wall '' . The aim of training for the marathon , according to many coaches , is to maximize the limited glycogen available so that the fatigue of the `` wall '' is not as dramatic . This is accomplished in part by utilizing a higher percentage of energy from burned fat even during the early phase of the race , thus conserving glycogen . Carbohydrate - based `` energy gels '' are used by runners to avoid or reduce the effect of `` hitting the wall '' , as they provide easy to digest energy during the run . Energy gels usually contain varying amounts of sodium and potassium and some also contain caffeine . They need to be consumed with a certain amount of water . Recommendations for how often to take an energy gel during the race range widely . A runner getting encouragement at Mile 25 of the Boston Marathon Alternatives to gels include various forms of concentrated sugars , and foods high in simple carbohydrates that can be digested easily . Many runners experiment with consuming energy supplements during training runs to determine what works best for them . Consumption of food while running sometimes makes the runner sick . Runners are advised not to ingest a new food or medicine just prior to or during a race . It is also important to refrain from taking any of the non-steroidal anti-inflammatory class of pain relievers ( NSAIDs , e.g. , aspirin , ibuprofen , naproxen ) , as these drugs may change the way the kidneys regulate their blood flow and may lead to serious kidney problems , especially in cases involving moderate to severe dehydration . NSAIDS block the COX - 2 enzyme pathway to prevent the production of prostaglandins . These prostaglandins may act as inflammation factors throughout the body , but they also play a crucial role in maintenance of water retention . In less than 5 % of the whole population that take NSAIDS , individuals may be more negatively sensitive to renal prostaglandin synthesis inhibition . After a Marathon ( edit ) Marathon participation may result in various medical , musculoskeletal , and dermatological complaints . Delayed onset muscle soreness ( DOMS ) is a common condition affecting runners during the first week following a marathon . Various types of mild exercise or massage have been recommended to alleviate pain secondary to DOMS . Dermatological issues frequently include `` jogger 's nipple '' , `` jogger 's toe '' , and blisters . The immune system is reportedly suppressed for a short time . Changes to the blood chemistry may lead physicians to mistakenly diagnose heart malfunction . After long training runs and the marathon itself , consuming carbohydrates to replace glycogen stores and protein to aid muscle recovery is commonly recommended . In addition , soaking the lower half of the body for approximately 20 minutes in cold or ice water may force blood through the leg muscles to speed recovery . Health risks ( edit ) See also : List of marathon fatalities Marathon running has various health risks . Training and the races themselves put runners under stress . While rare , even death is a possibility during a race . Common health risks include injury such as blisters , tendonitis , fatigue , knee or ankle sprain , dehydration ( electrolyte imbalance ) , and other conditions . Many are categorised as overuse injuries . Cardiac health ( edit ) Officers patrolling a marathon course in Ukraine In 2016 , a systematic medical review found that the risk of sudden cardiac death during or immediately after a marathon was between 0.6 and 1.9 deaths per 100,000 participants , varying across the specific studies and the methods used , and not controlling for age or gender . Since the risk is small , cardiac screening programs for marathons are uncommon . However , this review was not an attempt to assess the overall cardiac health impact of marathon running . A 2006 study of non-elite Boston Marathon participants tested runners for certain proteins that indicate heart damage or dysfunction ( see Troponin ) and gave them echocardiogram scans , before and after the marathon . The study revealed that , in that sample of 60 people , runners who had done less than 56 km ( 35 mi ) of weekly training before the race were most likely to show some heart damage or dysfunction , while runners who had done more than 72 km ( 45 mi ) of weekly training showed few or no heart problems . According to a Canadian study presented in 2010 , running a marathon can temporarily result in decreased function of more than half the muscle segments in the heart 's main pumping chamber , but neighboring segments are generally able to compensate . Full recovery is reached within one to three months . The fitter the runner , the less the effect . According to one of the researchers : `` Regular exercise reduces cardiovascular risk by a factor of two or three in the long run , but while we 're doing vigorous exercise such as marathon running , our cardiac risk increases by seven . '' Hydration ( edit ) A volunteer hands out fluids at a marathon water stop Overconsumption is the most significant concern associated with water consumption during marathons . Drinking excessive amounts of fluid during a race can lead to dilution of sodium in the blood , a condition called exercise - associated hyponatremia , which may result in vomiting , seizures , coma and even death . Dr. Lewis G. Maharam , medical director for the New York City Marathon , stated in 2005 : `` There are no reported cases of dehydration causing death in the history of world running , but there are plenty of cases of people dying of hyponatremia . '' For example , Dr. Cynthia Lucero died at the age of 28 while participating in the 2002 Boston Marathon . It was Lucero 's second marathon . At mile 22 , Lucero complained of feeling `` dehydrated and rubber - legged . '' She soon wobbled and collapsed to the ground , and was unconscious by the time the paramedics reached her . Lucero was admitted to Brigham and Women 's Hospital and died two days later . Lucero 's cause of death was determined to be hyponatremic encephalopathy , a condition that causes swelling of the brain due to an imbalance of sodium in the blood known as exercise - associated hyponatremia ( EAH ) . While EAH is sometimes referred to as `` water intoxication , '' Lucero drank large amounts of Gatorade during the race , demonstrating that runners who consume sodium - containing sports drinks in excess of thirst can still develop EAH . Because hyponatremia is caused by excessive water retention , and not just loss of sodium , consumption of sports drinks or salty foods may not prevent hyponatremia . Women are more prone to hyponatremia than men . A study in the New England Journal of Medicine found that 13 % of runners completing the 2002 Boston Marathon had hyponatremia . Fluid intake should be adjusted individually as factors such as body weight , sex , climate , pace , fitness ( VO max ) , and sweat rate are just a few variables that change fluid requirements between people and races . The International Marathon Medical Directors Association ( IMMDA ) advises that runners drink a sports drink that includes carbohydrates and electrolytes instead of plain water and that runners should `` drink to thirst '' instead of feeling compelled to drink at every fluid station . Heat exposure leads to diminished thirst drive and thirst may not be a sufficient incentive to drink in many situations . The IMMDA and HSL Harpur Hill give recommendations to drink fluid in small volumes frequently at an approximate rate falling between 100 -- 250 ml ( 3.4 -- 8.5 US fl oz ) every 15 minutes . A patient suffering hyponatremia can be given a small volume of a concentrated salt solution intravenously to raise sodium concentrations in the blood . Some runners weigh themselves before running and write the results on their bibs . If anything goes wrong , first aid workers can use the weight information to tell if the patient had consumed too much water . Body temperature ( edit ) Exertional heat stroke is an emergency condition in which thermoregulation fails and the body temperature rises dangerously above 104 ° F ( 40 ° C ) . It becomes a greater risk in warm and humid weather , even for young and fit individuals . Treatment requires rapid physical cooling of the body . Charity involvement ( edit ) Some charities seek to associate with various races . Some marathon organizers set aside a portion their limited entry slots for charity organizations to sell to members in exchange for donations . Runners are given the option to sign up to run particular races , especially when marathon entries are no longer available to the general public . In some cases , charities organize their own marathon as a fund - raiser ( gaining funds via entry fees or through sponsorships ) . Mars rover Marathon ( edit ) Opportunity 's traverse in 2015 as it approached the Marathon Valley , and the traveled distance of a traditional marathon ( about 42 kilometers ( 26 mi ) ) In 2015 the Mars rover Opportunity attained the distance of a marathon from its starting location on Mars , and the valley where it achieved this distance was called Marathon Valley , which was then explored .

4174231716648688412 | Mariana Trench | Mariana Trench - wikipedia Mariana Trench Jump to : navigation , search This article is about the deep sea trench . For the Canadian band named after the geological formation , see Marianas Trench ( band ) . Coordinates : 11 ° 21 ′ N 142 ° 12 ′ E / 11.350 ° N 142.200 ° E / 11.350 ; 142.200 Location of the Mariana Trench The Mariana Trench or Marianas Trench is the deepest part of the world 's oceans . It is located in the western Pacific Ocean , an average of 200 kilometres ( 124 mi ) to the east of the Mariana Islands , in the Western Pacific East of Philippines . It is a crescent - shaped scar in the Earth 's crust , and measures about 2,550 km ( 1,580 mi ) long and 69 km ( 43 mi ) wide on average . It reaches a maximum - known depth of 10,994 metres ( 36,070 ft ) ( ± 40 metres ( 130 ft ) ) at a small slot - shaped valley in its floor known as the Challenger Deep , at its southern end , although some unrepeated measurements place the deepest portion at 11,034 metres ( 36,201 ft ) . If Mount Everest were dropped into the trench at this point , its peak would still be over 1.6 kilometres ( 1 mi ) underwater . In 2009 , Marianas Trench was established as a United States National Monument . At the bottom of the trench the water column above exerts a pressure of 1,086 bars ( 15,750 psi ) , more than 1,000 times the standard atmospheric pressure at sea level . At this pressure , the density of water is increased by 4.96 % , so that 95 litres of water under the pressure of the Challenger Deep would contain the same mass as 100 litres at the surface . The temperature at the top is 1 to 4 ° C ( 34 to 39 ° F ) . The trench is not the part of the seafloor closest to the center of the Earth . This is because the Earth is not a perfect sphere ; its radius is about 25 kilometres ( 16 mi ) less at the poles than at the equator . As a result , parts of the Arctic Ocean seabed are at least 13 kilometres ( 8.1 mi ) closer to the Earth 's center than the Challenger Deep seafloor . Xenophyophores have been found in the trench by Scripps Institution of Oceanography researchers at a record depth of 10.6 kilometres ( 6.6 mi ) below the sea surface . On 17 March 2013 , researchers reported data that suggested microbial life forms thrive within the trench . Contents ( hide ) 1 Names 2 Geology 3 Measurements 3.1 Descents 3.2 Planned descents 4 Life 4.1 Pollution 5 Possible nuclear waste disposal site 6 See also 7 Notes 8 External links Names ( edit ) The Mariana Trench is named for the nearby Mariana Islands ( in turn named Las Marianas in honor of Spanish Queen Mariana of Austria , widow of Philip IV of Spain ) . The islands are part of the island arc that is formed on an over-riding plate , called the Mariana Plate ( also named for the islands ) , on the western side of the trench . Geology ( edit ) The Pacific plate is subducted beneath the Mariana Plate , creating the Mariana trench , and ( further on ) the arc of the Mariana islands , as water trapped in the plate is released and explodes upward to form island volcanoes . The Mariana Trench is part of the Izu - Bonin - Mariana subduction system that forms the boundary between two tectonic plates . In this system , the western edge of one plate , the Pacific Plate , is subducted ( i.e. , thrust ) beneath the smaller Mariana Plate that lies to the west . Crustal material at the western edge of the Pacific Plate is some of the oldest oceanic crust on earth ( up to 170 million years old ) , and is therefore cooler and more dense ; hence its great height difference relative to the higher - riding ( and younger ) Mariana Plate . The deepest area at the plate boundary is the Mariana Trench proper . The movement of the Pacific and Mariana plates is also indirectly responsible for the formation of the Mariana Islands . These volcanic islands are caused by flux melting of the upper mantle due to release of water that is trapped in minerals of the subducted portion of the Pacific Plate . Measurements ( edit ) See also : Challenger Deep The trench was first sounded during the Challenger expedition in 1875 , using a weighted rope , which recorded a depth of 4,475 fathoms ( 8,184 metres ; 26,850 feet ) . In 1877 , a map was published called Tiefenkarte des Grossen Ozeans ( `` Deep map of the Great Ocean '' ) by Petermann , which showed a Challenger Tief ( `` Challenger deep '' ) at the location of that sounding . In 1899 , USS Nero , a converted collier , recorded a depth of 5,269 fathoms ( 9,636 metres ; 31,614 feet ) . In 1951 , Challenger II surveyed the trench using echo sounding , a much more precise and vastly easier way to measure depth than the sounding equipment and drag lines used in the original expedition . During this survey , the deepest part of the trench was recorded when the Challenger II measured a depth of 5,960 fathoms ( 10,900 metres ; 35,760 feet ) at 11 ° 19 ′ N 142 ° 15 ′ E / 11.317 ° N 142.250 ° E / 11.317 ; 142.250 , known as the Challenger Deep . In 1957 , the Soviet vessel Vityaz reported a depth of 11,034 metres ( 36,201 ft ) at a location dubbed the Mariana Hollow . In 1962 , the surface ship M.V. Spencer F. Baird recorded a maximum depth of 10,915 metres ( 35,810 ft ) using precision depth gauges . In 1984 , the Japanese survey vessel Takuyō ( 拓 洋 ) collected data from the Mariana Trench using a narrow , multi-beam echo sounder ; it reported a maximum depth of 10,924 metres ( 35,840 ft ) , also reported as 10,920 metres ( 35,830 ft ) ± 10 m ( 33 ft ) . Remotely Operated Vehicle KAIKO reached the deepest area of the Mariana trench and made the deepest diving record of 10,911 metres ( 35,797 ft ) on March 24 , 1995 . During surveys carried out between 1997 and 2001 , a spot was found along the Mariana Trench that had depth similar to that of the Challenger Deep , possibly even deeper . It was discovered while scientists from the Hawaii Institute of Geophysics and Planetology were completing a survey around Guam ; they used a sonar mapping system towed behind the research ship to conduct the survey . This new spot was named the HMRG ( Hawaii Mapping Research Group ) Deep , after the group of scientists who discovered it . On 1 June 2009 , sonar mapping of the Challenger Deep by the Simrad EM120 sonar multibeam bathymetry system for deep water , mapping aboard the RV Kilo Moana ( mothership of the Nereus vehicle ) , indicated a spot with a depth of 10,971 metres ( 35,994 ft ) . The sonar system uses phase and amplitude bottom detection , with an accuracy of better than 0.2 % of water depth across the entire swath ( implying that the depth figure is accurate to ± 22 metres ( 72 ft ) ) . In 2011 , it was announced at the American Geophysical Union Fall Meeting that a US Navy hydrographic ship equipped with a multibeam echosounder conducted a survey which mapped the entire trench to 100 metres ( 330 ft ) resolution . The mapping revealed the existence of four rocky outcrops thought to be former seamounts . The Mariana Trench is a site chosen by researchers at Washington University and the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution in 2012 for a seismic survey to investigate the subsurface water cycle . Using both ocean - bottom seismometers and hydrophones the scientists are able to map structures as deep as 97 kilometres ( 60 mi ) beneath the surface . Descents ( edit ) The bathyscaphe Trieste ( designed by Auguste Piccard ) , the first manned vehicle to reach the bottom of the Mariana Trench . Four descents have been achieved . The first was the manned descent by Swiss - designed , Italian - built , United States Navy - owned bathyscaphe Trieste which reached the bottom at 1 : 06 pm on 23 January 1960 , with Don Walsh and Jacques Piccard on board . Iron shot was used for ballast , with gasoline for buoyancy . The onboard systems indicated a depth of 11,521 m ( 37,799 ft ) , but this was later revised to 10,916 m ( 35,814 ft ) . The depth was estimated from a conversion of pressure measured and calculations based on the water density from sea surface to seabed . This was followed by the unmanned ROVs Kaikō in 1996 and Nereus in 2009 . The first three expeditions directly measured very similar depths of 10,902 to 10,916 m ( 35,768 to 35,814 ft ) . The fourth was made by Canadian film director James Cameron in 2012 . On 26 March , he reached the bottom of the Mariana Trench in the submersible vessel Deepsea Challenger . In July 2015 , members of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration , Oregon State University , and the Coast Guard submerged a hydrophone into the deepest part of the Mariana Trench , the Challenger Deep , never having deployed one past a mile . The titanium - shelled hydrophone was designed to withstand the immense pressure 7 miles under . Although researchers were unable to retrieve the hydrophone until November , the data capacity was full within the first 23 days . After months of analyzing the sounds , the experts were surprised to pick up natural and man - made sounds such as boats , earthquakes , a typhoon , and baleen whales . Due to the mission 's success , the researchers announced plans to deploy a second hydrophone in 2017 for an extended period of time . Planned descents ( edit ) As of February 2012 , at least two other teams are planning piloted submarines to reach the bottom of the Mariana Trench . Triton Submarines , a Florida - based company that designs and manufactures private submarines , plans for a crew of three to take 120 minutes to reach the seabed . DOER Marine , a marine technology company based near San Francisco and set up in 1992 , plans for a crew of two or three to take 90 minutes to reach the seabed . Life ( edit ) The expedition conducted in 1960 claimed to have observed , with great surprise because of the high pressure , large creatures living at the bottom , such as a flatfish about 30 cm ( 12 in ) long , and shrimp . According to Piccard , `` The bottom appeared light and clear , a waste of firm diatomaceous ooze '' . Many marine biologists are now skeptical of the supposed sighting of the flatfish , and it is suggested that the creature may instead have been a sea cucumber . During the second expedition , the unmanned vehicle Kaikō collected mud samples from the seabed . Tiny organisms were found to be living in those samples . In July 2011 , a research expedition deployed untethered landers , called dropcams , equipped with digital video and lights to explore this region of the deep sea . Amongst many other living organisms , some gigantic single - celled amoebas with a size of more than 10 cm ( 4 in ) , belonging to the class of xenophyophores were observed . Xenophyophores are noteworthy for their size , their extreme abundance on the seafloor and their role as hosts for a variety of organisms . In December 2014 , a new species of snailfish was discovered at a depth of 8,145 m ( 26,722 ft ) , breaking the previous record for the deepest living fish seen on video , and extended in May 2017 when another unidentified type of snailfish was filmed at a depth of 8,178 metres ( 26,800 ft ) in the Mariana Trench . During the 2014 expedition , several other new species were also filmed , including huge crustaceans known as supergiants . Deep sea species are also known to grow much larger than their shallow water relatives . This is known as marine gigantism . Pollution ( edit ) In 2016 , a research expedition looked at the chemical makeup of crustacean scavengers collected from a range of 7,841 -- 10,250 metres within the trench . Within these organisms , the researchers found extremely elevated concentrations of PCBs , a chemical toxin banned for its environmental harm in the 1970s , concentrated at all depths within the sediment of the trench . Possible nuclear waste disposal site ( edit ) Like other oceanic trenches , the Mariana Trench has been proposed as a site for nuclear waste disposal , in the hope that tectonic plate subduction occurring at the site might eventually push the nuclear waste deep into the Earth 's mantle , the second layer of the Earth . However , ocean dumping of nuclear waste is prohibited by international law . Furthermore , plate subduction zones are associated with very large megathrust earthquakes , the effects of which are unpredictable and possibly adverse to the safety of long - term disposal , and disposal of nuclear wastes may cause havoc in the hadopelagic ecosystems . See also ( edit ) Oceania portal Marianas Trench Marine National Monument , United States national monument at the trench . This National Monument protects 95,216 square miles ( 246,610 km ) of submerged lands and waters of the Mariana Archipelago . It includes some of the Mariana Trench , but not the deepest part , the Challenger Deep , which lies just outside the monument area . Notes ( edit ) Jump up ^ `` NGA GeoNames Search '' .

"The Mariana Trench or Marianas Trench[1] is the deepest part of the world's oceans. It is located in the western Pacific Ocean, an average of 200 kilometres (124 mi) to the east of the Mariana Islands, in the Western Pacific East of Philippines. It is a crescent-shaped scar in the Earth's crust, and measures about 2,550 km (1,580 mi) long and 69 km (43 mi) wide on average. It reaches a maximum-known depth of 10,994 metres (36,070 ft) (± 40 metres [130 ft]) at a small slot-shaped valley in its floor known as the Challenger Deep, at its southern end,[2] although some unrepeated measurements place the deepest portion at 11,034 metres (36,201 ft).[3] If Mount Everest were dropped into the trench at this point, its peak would still be over 1.6 kilometres (1 mi) underwater. In 2009, Marianas Trench was established as a United States National Monument[4]."

399615701299614714 | Congressional pension | Congressional pension - wikipedia Congressional pension Jump to : navigation , search Congressional pension is a pension made available to members of the United States Congress . Members who participated in the congressional pension system are vested after five ( 5 ) years of service . A full pension is available to members 62 years of age with 5 years of service ; 50 years or older with 20 years of service ; or 25 years of service at any age . A reduced pension is available depending upon which of several different age / service options is chosen . If Members leave Congress before reaching retirement age , they may leave their contributions behind and receive a deferred pension later . The current pension program , effective January 1987 , is under the Federal Employees Retirement System ( FERS ) , which covers members and other federal employees whose federal employment began in 1984 or later . This replaces the older Civil Service Retirement System ( CSRS ) for most members of congress and federal employees . Contents ( hide ) 1 History of congressional pensions 2 Forfeiture 3 Refusal to participate 4 References History of congressional pensions ( edit ) Members of Congress voted to extend pension benefits to the legislative branch under the CSRS ( formerly limited to the executive branch ) in January 1942 under a provision of P.L. 77 - 411 . Congress repealed their pension two months later , due to public outcry in the early months of America 's involvement in World War II . It was not until after the war , in 1946 , that Congress would be covered under the CSRS with the passage of P.L. 79 - 601 . The justification this time was that a pension would `` bring into the legislative service a larger number of younger members with fresh energy and new viewpoints '' by encouraging older Members to retire . The Social Security Amendments of 1983 required all Members of Congress to participate in Social Security beginning January 1 , 1984 . As Social Security and CSRS benefits sometimes overlapped , Congress called for the development of a new federal employee retirement program to complement Social Security . This new plan was enacted as the Federal Employees ' Retirement Act of 1986 . This act created the FERS program , under which new Members of Congress are currently covered . When the FERS program went into effect , all Members elected in 1984 or later were automatically enrolled in the new plan . More senior Members were free to remain under the CSRS or enroll in the new FERS plan . The FERS program takes into account the years served and the average pay for the top three years in terms of payment . For example , a member elected before 1984 and thus qualifying under the CSRS plan , who worked for 22 years and who had a top three - year average salary of $154,267 would be eligible for a pension payment of $84,847 per year . A member elected after 1984 would have been enrolled under the FERS plan , and their pension payment under similar conditions ( $154,267 top three - year average salary , but with only 20 years of service , rather than the 22 in the CSRS example ) would be $52,451 . In 2002 , the average congressional pension payment ranged from $41,000 to $55,000 . As of November 2014 , senior Members of Congress who have been in office for at least 32 years can earn about $139,000 a year . Forfeiture ( edit ) In 2003 , after James Traficant was expelled from Congress , several Congressmen tried passing a bill that would prevent expelled members from receiving their pensions . The bill was stalled and eventually dropped after being sent to the House Administration and Reforms committee for review . In 2007 , the Honest Leadership and Open Government Act was enacted ; this act provides that a member of Congress convicted of one or more of a list of enumerated felonies ( those relating to corruption , election crimes , or official misconduct ) will forfeit his or her pension . Refusal to participate ( edit ) Former congressman Ron Paul refused to participate in the congressional pension system , labeling it `` immoral . '' North Carolina congressman Howard Coble did not participate in the pension system , either . He campaigned against the system in his first campaign in 1984 .

It is the sequel to 2014 's Watch Dogs and was released worldwide for PlayStation 4 , Xbox One and Microsoft Windows in November 2016 . Set within a fictionalized version of the San Francisco Bay Area , the game is played from a third - person perspective and its open world is navigated on - foot or by vehicle . Players control Marcus Holloway , a hacker who works with the hacking group DedSec to take down the city 's advanced surveillance system known as ctOS . There are multiple ways to complete missions , and each successful assignment increases the follower count of DedSec . Cooperative multiplayer allows for competitive one - on - one combat and connecting with other players in order to neutralize a player who is causing havoc . Ubisoft Montreal , the game 's developer , studied player feedback from the first game to assess what could be improved in Watch Dogs 2 and the setting was researched by making frequent trips to California . Ubisoft Reflections was responsible for overhauling the driving mechanic . Real hackers were consulted to validate scripts and game mechanics for authenticity and references to real life hacktivism were fictionalized , like the Project Chanology protest . The original soundtrack for Watch Dogs 2 was composed by Hudson Mohawke . The game was released to generally favorable reception and praised for improving upon the original Watch Dogs in areas like the hacking , setting , characters and driving . However , character inconsistencies , firearms and frequent technical issues -- later patched -- were cited as imperfections . Contents ( hide ) 1 Gameplay 1.1 Multiplayer 2 Plot 3 Development 4 Release 4.1 Downloadable content 5 Reception 5.1 Sales 6 Notes 7 References 8 External links Gameplay ( edit ) Similar to its predecessor , Watch Dogs 2 is an action - adventure game with stealth elements and played from a third - person perspective as protagonist Marcus Holloway , a young hacker , the game features an open world environment set in a fictionalized version of the San Francisco Bay Area , an area more than twice as large as the Chicago setting from Watch Dogs . The Bay Area consists of four different areas : San Francisco , Oakland , Marin , and Silicon Valley , all of which have different characteristics and aesthetics . Players can navigate the game 's world on - foot or by the various vehicles featured in the game , such as cars , trucks , buses , cable cars , motorcycles , quad bikes and boats . The driving mechanic was overhauled and designed to be more accessible . The players can shoot their weapons while driving . Marcus also has improved acrobatic skills , and the ability to parkour around the city . Players can use different methods to approach the game 's missions , choosing between the aggressive approach , in which they defeat enemies with guns which are made with a 3D printer ; explosives , like mines ; or Marcus ' own melee weapon , a billiard ball attached to a bungee cord . Alternatively , players can use the stealth approach , in which they can evade enemies or paralyze them temporarily with Marcus ' taser . Players can also complete the game through hacking alone . When players commit too many crimes , the police officers will become alerted and will attempt to arrest the player . The game upgrades system is a returning feature , with items being divided into three categories : Ghost , Aggressor , and Trickster . Players can choose their upgrades in accordance with their own playstyle . Players can hack the environment around them to advance in the missions . Marcus can hack into various electronic devices connected to the ctOS system with his in - game smartphone . For example , Marcus can modify the personal information of non-player characters to have them arrested , hack and manipulate every mobile phone featured in the game , disrupt traffic by hacking cars and traffic lights , hack into monitoring cameras , and carry out `` mass hacking '' , which hacks the electrical equipment of a large group of people . Players also gain multiple options while hacking the same object . For instance , if the player attempts to hack a car , they can gain direct control over them , or have the car lose control and crash in a random direction . If the player hacks a junction box , they can choose whether they should deactivate it or turn it into a proximity mine . Unlike Aiden , the protagonist of the first game , Marcus has an arsenal of advanced equipment , including a quadcopter and a remote - controlled car , both of which can be used for remote hacking and scouting . Marcus ' apparel can be customized with over 700 articles of clothing , available for purchase in stores that maintain fashion styles unique to what is worn by the denizens in each area . The game features several main story missions , and side - missions known as `` operations '' . Once completed , Marcus ' follower count will increase , which is an important part of the narrative . Multiplayer ( edit ) Multiplayer returns in Watch Dogs 2 . The game introduces a seamless cooperative multiplayer mode , in which players can meet and interact with other random players . They can explore the open world and complete missions together , which will also help players to gain followers . The game features an emote system , which allows players ' characters to communicate with each other through basic gestures . The game can be played completely online or offline . It also features three competitive multiplayer modes : Hacking Invasion : A one - versus - one competitive multiplayer mode , originally featured in the first game , in which a player covertly joins another player 's single - player session and steals virtual data from them . The invading player must stay hidden while stealing the data , and escape once successful , while the defending player must identify and kill the invading player . Bounty Hunter : A new mode introduced in the game . If an online player creates too much chaos in the world , the mode will be initiated . Police , alongside one to three other players , will join the player 's game with the hope of killing the hunted and claiming the bounty , which gives them experience points . The hunted could either strike back at the hunters by killing them , which gives them greater rewards , or escape from them until the bounty expires . The hunted , meanwhile , also can be assisted by another player if that player chooses to join the hunted . Players can manually place a bounty on themselves using the in - game smartphone . Showdown : A mode added in a later update . In this mode , 2 teams of 2 players battle each other in short missions . Missions vary from the first team to steal 3 hard drives to the offensive team having to hack the servers the defensive team is protecting in a limited amount of time . Plot ( edit ) Following the events of Chicago , San Francisco becomes the next city to install the ctOS ( central Operating System ) , which connects everyone with everything . Hacker Marcus Holloway ( Ruffin Prentiss ) is punished for a crime he did not commit by the upgraded ctOS -- ctOS 2.0 -- which categorizes him as the suspect . Realizing the system covertly brings harm to the innocent citizens of San Francisco , he decides to work with the hacking group DedSec to take down the ctOS 2.0 , and Blume , the company behind it . Marcus joins DedSec and works with fellow hackers Sitara ( Tasya Teles ) , Wrench ( Shawn Baichoo ) , Horatio ( Michael Xavier ) and Josh ( Jonathan Dubsky ) , and they begin using their skills to expose corrupt organizations and corporations that are secretly using stolen personal ctOS data for their own ends . The game begins with Marcus -- known also by his hacker alias Retr0 -- having an initiation test : deleting his own ctOS profile . Accepted into DedSec , he is alerted to a Church called New Dawn that serves as a criminal organization , after which , Marcus mainly serves to bring about awareness of the hackers ' goals through both social media and hacks to help get enough computers to bring down Blume , the ' figurehead ' of ctOS . Eventually , they stumble upon the existence of a subliminal message and Bellwether , a data manipulation program being fed ctOS data by Dušan Nemec ( Christopher Jacot ) , Blume 's CTO , to manipulate world finance and politics . DedSec later manages to recruit the assistance of Raymond `` T - Bone '' Kenney ( John Tench ) , who is determined to battle Blume three years after attacking the ctOS in Chicago . With his assistance , DedSec manages to expose the corruption of the FBI and numerous Silicon Valley corporations through the hacking of their data facilities . Learning that Blume is planning to install a satellite network designed to bypass undersea data cables , which would effectively give Blume a monopoly on the entire world 's electronic data and stock exchanges , they infiltrate the launch area of one of the satellites to install a backdoor . In order to bring down Blume and Dušan for good , Marcus breaks into all of Blume 's international headquarters and lastly their San Francisco headquarters and hacks their servers , exposing the existence of Bellwether and Dušan 's corruption . Dušan is arrested for fraud and Blume is put under investigation , though DedSec resolve to continue their fight against Blume . In an extended ending scene added in a post-release patch , two unidentified individuals note that more DedSec cells and hacktivist groups have been emerging worldwide in response to the San Francisco Blume scandal , and that it is time to put their own plans into motion . Development ( edit ) Ubisoft Reflections refurbished the driving mechanic in its entirety . At E3 2014 , Ubisoft executive Tony Key claimed that they were very satisfied with the sales of the first game , and that the brand would be turned into a long - running franchise . According to creative director Jonathan Morin , the first game 's main goal was to establish the Watch Dogs brand . It was intended that they take risks with the sequel , instead of creating a more polished version of the previous game . To improve the game , Morin and his team read the reviews of the first game , and visited NeoGAF and various forums to study player feedback . Their priorities included creating a `` believable '' environment , giving players more freedom , and introducing a new leading character , whose personality would be completely different from that of the protagonist of the first game , Aiden Pearce . The primary developer Ubisoft Montreal worked with other subsidiaries Ubisoft Toronto , Ubisoft Paris , Ubisoft Bucharest , Ubisoft Kiev and Ubisoft Reflections to aid in the production . The driving mechanic was completely overhauled to make it more accessible to players , and was developed by Ubisoft Reflections , the developer of Ubisoft 's own Driver series . In light of complaints about a graphical downgrade in Watch Dogs from what was seen at E3 2012 , Ubisoft assured that Watch Dogs 2 would not suffer the same outcome because , unlike the first installment , it was developed for the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One from the start . Another improvement from the first game was a more prominent thematic connection to the narrative . Main operations are structured like story arcs that last up to ninety minutes each , advancing the plot with each completion . The developer worked with consultant hackers who would validate their scripts , including the use of jargon , and gameplay mechanics in order to ensure the authenticity of the subject matter . The propaganda used by the game 's hacker group DedSec was influenced by animated GIF culture , glitch art and comic books from the late 1940s . David Maynor served as a hacking advisor . Content director Thomas Geffroyd , who had twenty years of experience with the hacking community , was tasked to accumulate information from hacktivists -- such as author Violet Blue -- and then relay it to the team . The game also features references to real life ; Project Chanology was fictionalized in the mission `` The False Prophets '' . Ubisoft Montreal made frequent scouting trips to California to research the setting , and attempted to put most of the local landmarks in that region in the game . For regions that they could not put in the game , the team redesigned these locations and put them back into the game . According to producer Dominic Guay , having realistic and accurate locations featured in the game was essential for the game as they encourage players to explore the open world . Unlike many of Ubisoft 's previous open world games , players do not need to climb towers in order to discover locations and missions . Instead , the game is opened up from the start , allowing players to explore the city freely . The game 's new progression system , which tasks players to gain followers instead of completing main missions , was another way Ubisoft Montreal hoped to encourage exploration and make the city feel more `` free '' . Watch Dogs 2 had around sixty programmers devoted to its development . The soundtrack was composed by Hudson Mohawke . Ingrained with a combination of electronic music and hip hop , it was approached from the palette of cult science fiction music . Ubisoft teamed up with Dutch music producer Oliver Heldens to influence the video for his track `` Good Life '' in the vein of DedSec . For acquiring licensed songs , an agreement was made with Amoeba Music . Mohawke 's soundtrack was released separately as Ded Sec -- Watch Dogs 2 ( Original Game Soundtrack ) via Warp Records . A sequel to Watch Dogs was rumored since its release but first officialized by publisher Ubisoft through financial reports in February and May 2016 , before it was confirmed as a part of the 2016 E3 lineup . A twenty - minute online reveal was hosted a couple of days later . On 27 October 2016 , Watch Dogs 2 was announced to have been released to manufacturing . Release ( edit ) On 8 June 2016 , Ubisoft revealed the game would be released on 15 November of that year for the Microsoft Windows , PlayStation 4 and Xbox One platforms in six separate editions . In September 2016 , it was announced that Watch Dogs 2 would have enhancements on PlayStation 4 Pro . In October 2016 , Ubisoft announced that the Windows version was delayed to 29 November 2016 to ensure that the game was well - optimized . It was featured on the front cover of Edge in August . Two weeks from release , Ubisoft and Samsung partnered to bundle a free digital download of Watch Dogs 2 with the purchase of their solid - state disks or curved gaming monitors . Amazon Prime copies were subject to an early release , which revealed issues with the seamless multiplayer . Ubisoft vowed to repair the feature on schedule but on the day of release , the company said it was broken -- citing persistent lagging and crashing . Cooperative multiplayer was enabled a week after the game 's release . A free trial lasting three hours was released for PlayStation 4 on 17 January 2017 ; the Xbox One version was downloadable on 24 January . Pre-ordering The Gold Edition Collector 's Edition included additional content such as weapon skins , vehicles and drones ; the Deluxe Collector 's Edition contains the same , but excluded the season pass . Each of these , as well as the generic Collector 's Edition , contained a physical robot called `` Wrench Junior '' , which is controlled by using a mobile app on a smartphone or tablet computer . The Gold Edition came with the aforementioned items and season pass , and although the Deluxe Edition omitted the inclusion of the season pass , it comprised all other additions . The mission `` Zodiac Killer '' was also exclusive to pre-order purchases .

Reception ( edit ) Reception Aggregate score Aggregator Score Metacritic ( PC ) 75 / 100 ( PS4 ) 82 / 100 ( XONE ) 81 / 100 Review scores Publication Score Destructoid 8.5 / 10 EGM 8 / 10 Game Informer 7.75 / 10 Game Revolution IGN 8.5 / 10 Polygon 8 / 10 VideoGamer.com 8 / 10 Watch Dogs 2 received `` generally favorable '' reviews , according to review aggregator Metacritic . Technical issues on consoles were fixed with the Update 1.04 patch . In his review , Destructoid 's Zack Furniss praised the sequel 's tonal shift to a lack of seriousness and stated that its protagonist Marcus Holloway boasted a similar charm and wit . He thought well of the hacking component as it was suggestible to multiple fields of use , and enjoyed its nature of compatibility with a non-lethal approach ; in fact , Furniss felt that for this reason firearms could have been excluded entirely . The driving was lauded as an improvement from the first game , yet technical issues like glitches and low frame rates were cited as shortcomings . To Matt Buchholtz , writing for EGM , the game signified `` less a hacktivist tale and more a beautiful immersion into the San Francisco Bay '' . The setting , characters and story were cited as considerable refinements from its predecessor . Buchholtz discerned that the tasks demanded to gain followers were successful in encouraging world exploration . He noted however that -- in context of the main character -- murder made little sense , which led to increased usage of stealth . Elise Favis at Game Informer both disparaged and praised elements in comparison to those of Watch Dogs . She enjoyed that hacking was prioritized in the gameplay and the new `` smoother '' driving mechanic , but saw inconsistencies in the protagonist 's actions versus his personality and thought supporting characters `` too obnoxious and petty to be meaningful companions '' . Favis also experienced low frame rate capabilities on PlayStation 4 . Aron Garst of Game Revolution stated that Watch Dogs 2 had redressed `` nearly every negative aspect of the original '' , and as such , marked a favorable change in the franchise . IGN 's Dan Stapleton liked Marcus Holloway more than Aiden Pearce of the first game , and similarly appreciated the supporting characters of DedSec . Marcus ' penchant for moral integrity was a noticeable contradiction for Stapleton , though , in light of the prospect to have him kill innocent people if one so chooses . Therefore , the character 's personality was observed as the only preclusion to violence and an axiomatic push toward the stealth approach , which Stapleton insisted was the most accommodating of available tools . Writing for Polygon , Philip Kollar saw that Watch Dogs 2 could appeal to those able to connect with `` being young , angry at the system and certain that you know what 's best for the world '' . Its tongue - in - cheek demeanor was said to naturally coincide with the hacker culture and open world genre . San Francisco -- the spaces of which were described as `` cleverly designed '' -- never felt overwhelming in size to Kollar but inspired joy as he took advantage of the immediate ability to explore it entirely . His complaints concerned firearms ; their use was considered `` a complete failure of imagination '' and unbelievable from the members of DedSec -- `` an Anonymous-esque group of peaceful hacktivists '' . Alice Bell of VideoGamer.com wrote in her verdict , `` Watch Dogs 2 is missing a bit of refinement ... but joining DedSec is still a riot and a half . It 's high energy fun with engaging characters , and you can make an entire city your playground '' . Sales ( edit ) In November 2016 , Ubisoft revealed that the game 's pre-orders were disappointing for the company . Due to this , Ubisoft took a more conservative approach and reduced the sales projection for the second half of its fiscal year 2017 . However , CEO Yves Guillemot was confident that the game would not be a commercial failure , and compared the game to Far Cry 3 , a commercially successful game with low pre-order sales . He believed that reviews would have a great impact to the game sales due to consumers ' `` wait - and - see '' approach . Watch Dogs 2 was the second best - selling retail video game in the United Kingdom in its week of release , according to Chart - Track , an eighty percent decrease from the sales of the original . In the United States , the game ranked number eight in sales in January 2017 . The PlayStation 4 version sold 68,796 copies in Japan .

"Similar to its predecessor, Watch Dogs 2 is an action-adventure game with stealth elements[1] and played from a third-person perspective as protagonist Marcus Holloway, a young hacker, the game features an open world environment set in a fictionalized version of the San Francisco Bay Area,[2][3] an area more than twice as large as the Chicago setting from Watch Dogs.[4] The Bay Area consists of four different areas: San Francisco, Oakland, Marin, and Silicon Valley, all of which have different characteristics and aesthetics.[5] Players can navigate the game's world on-foot or by the various vehicles featured in the game, such as cars, trucks, buses, cable cars, motorcycles, quad bikes and boats.[6] The driving mechanic was overhauled and designed to be more accessible.[7] The players can shoot their weapons while driving.[8] Marcus also has improved acrobatic skills, and the ability to parkour around the city.[9] Players can use different methods to approach the game's missions, choosing between the aggressive approach, in which they defeat enemies with guns which are made with a 3D printer; explosives, like mines; or Marcus' own melee weapon, a billiard ball attached to a bungee cord. Alternatively, players can use the stealth approach, in which they can evade enemies or paralyze them temporarily with Marcus' taser.[3][9] Players can also complete the game through hacking alone.[10] When players commit too many crimes, the police officers will become alerted and will attempt to arrest the player.[11] The game upgrades system is a returning feature, with items being divided into three categories: Ghost, Aggressor, and Trickster. Players can choose their upgrades in accordance with their own playstyle.[8]"

The terms `` popular music '' and `` pop music '' are often used interchangeably , although the former describes all music that is popular and includes many different styles . `` Pop '' and `` rock '' were roughly synonymous terms until the late 1960s , when they became increasingly differentiated from each other . Although much of the music that appears on record charts is seen as pop music , the genre is distinguished from chart music . Pop music is eclectic , and often borrows elements from other styles such as urban , dance , rock , Latin , and country ; nonetheless , there are core elements that define pop music . Identifying factors include generally short to medium - length songs written in a basic format ( often the verse - chorus structure ) , as well as common use of repeated choruses , melodic tunes , and hooks .

According to Pete Seeger , pop music is `` professional music which draws upon both folk music and fine arts music '' . Although pop music is seen as just the singles charts , it is not the sum of all chart music . The music charts contain songs from a variety of sources , including classical , jazz , rock , and novelty songs . Pop music , as a genre , is seen as existing and developing separately . Thus `` pop music '' may be used to describe a distinct genre , designed to appeal to all , often characterized as `` instant singles - based music aimed at teenagers '' in contrast to rock music as `` album - based music for adults '' . Pop music continuously evolves along with the term 's definition . According to The New Grove Dictionary Of Music and Musicians , popular music is defined as `` the music since industrialization in the 1800s that is most in line with the tastes and interests of the urban middle class . '' The term `` pop song '' was first recorded as being used in 1926 , in the sense of a piece of music `` having popular appeal '' . Hatch and Millward indicate that many events in the history of recording in the 1920s can be seen as the birth of the modern pop music industry , including in country , blues and hillbilly music . The Oxford Dictionary of Music states that the term `` pop '' refers to music performed by such artists as the Rolling Stones ( pictured here in a 2006 performance ) According to the website of The New Grove Dictionary of Music and Musicians , called Grove Music Online , the term `` pop music '' `` originated in Britain in the mid-1950s as a description for rock and roll and the new youth music styles that it influenced '' . The Oxford Dictionary of Music states that while pop 's `` earlier meaning meant concerts appealing to a wide audience ... since the late 1950s , however , pop has had the special meaning of non-classical mus ( ic ) , usually in the form of songs , performed by such artists as the Beatles , the Rolling Stones , ABBA , etc '' . Grove Music Online also states that `` ... in the early 1960s , ( the term ) ' pop music ' competed terminologically with beat music ( in England ) , while in the USA its coverage overlapped ( as it still does ) with that of ' rock and roll ' '' . From about 1967 , the term was increasingly used in opposition to the term rock music , a division that gave generic significance to both terms . Whereas rock aspired to authenticity and an expansion of the possibilities of popular music , pop was more commercial , ephemeral and accessible . According to British musicologist Simon Frith , pop music is produced `` as a matter of enterprise not art '' , is `` designed to appeal to everyone '' and `` does n't come from any particular place or mark off any particular taste '' . It is `` not driven by any significant ambition except profit and commercial reward ... and , in musical terms , it is essentially conservative '' . It is , `` provided from on high ( by record companies , radio programmers , and concert promoters ) rather than being made from below ... Pop is not a do - it - yourself music but is professionally produced and packaged '' . Characteristics ( edit ) The Righteous Brothers -- `` You 've Lost That Lovin ' Feelin ' '' ( 1965 ) As of 2011 , `` You 've Lost That Lovin ' Feelin ' '' ranks as the most frequently played song in US radio history , described by music writers Nick Logan and Bob Woffinden as `` the ultimate pop record '' . Problems playing this file ? See media help . According to Frith , characteristics of pop music include an aim of appealing to a general audience , rather than to a particular sub-culture or ideology , and an emphasis on craftsmanship rather than formal `` artistic '' qualities . Music scholar Timothy Warner said it typically has an emphasis on recording , production , and technology , rather than live performance ; a tendency to reflect existing trends rather than progressive developments ; and aims to encourage dancing or uses dance - oriented rhythms . The main medium of pop music is the song , often between two and a half and three and a half minutes in length , generally marked by a consistent and noticeable rhythmic element , a mainstream style and a simple traditional structure . Common variants include the verse - chorus form and the thirty - two - bar form , with a focus on melodies and catchy hooks , and a chorus that contrasts melodically , rhythmically and harmonically with the verse . The beat and the melodies tend to be simple , with limited harmonic accompaniment . The lyrics of modern pop songs typically focus on simple themes -- often love and romantic relationships -- although there are notable exceptions . Harmony and chord progressions in pop music are often `` that of classical European tonality , only more simple - minded . '' Clichés include the barbershop quartet - style harmony ( i.e. ii -- V -- I ) and blues scale - influenced harmony . There was a lessening of the influence of traditional views of the circle of fifths between the mid-1950s and the late 1970s , including less predominance for the dominant function . Development and influence ( edit ) Stylistic evolution ( edit ) See also : Traditional pop , Pop rock , Experimental pop , Orchestral pop , Progressive pop , Synthpop , and Indie pop This section is missing information about the 1980s -- 2000s . Please expand the section to include this information . Further details may exist on the talk page . ( October 2017 ) Throughout its development , pop music has absorbed influences from other genres of popular music . Early pop music drew on the sentimental ballad for its form , gained its use of vocal harmonies from gospel and soul music , instrumentation from jazz and rock music , orchestration from classical music , tempo from dance music , backing from electronic music , rhythmic elements from hip - hop music , and spoken passages from rap . In the 1960s , the majority of mainstream pop music fell in two categories : guitar , drum and bass groups or singers backed by a traditional orchestra . Since early in the decade , it was common for pop producers , songwriters , and engineers to freely experiment with musical form , orchestration , unnatural reverb , and other sound effects . Some of the best known examples are Phil Spector 's Wall of Sound and Joe Meek 's use of homemade electronic sound effects for acts like the Tornados . At the same time , pop music on radio and in both American and British film moved away from refined Tin Pan Alley to more eccentric songwriting and incorporated reverb - drenched rock guitar , symphonic strings , and horns played by groups of properly arranged and rehearsed studio musicians . During the mid-1960s , pop music made repeated forays into new sounds , styles , and techniques that inspired public discourse among its listeners . The word `` progressive '' was frequently used , and it was thought that every song and single was to be a `` progression '' from the last . Music critic Simon Reynolds writes that beginning with 1967 , a divide would exist between `` progressive '' pop and `` mass / chart '' pop , a separation which was `` also , broadly , one between boys and girls , middle - class and working - class . '' Before the progressive pop of the late 1960s , performers were typically unable to decide on the artistic content of their music . Assisted by the mid-1960s economic boom , record labels began investing in artists , giving them freedom to experiment , and offering them limited control over their content and marketing . This situation fell in disuse after the late 1970s and would not reemerge until the rise of Internet stars . Indie pop , which developed in the late 1970s , marked another departure from the glamour of contemporary pop music , with guitar bands formed on the then - novel premise that one could record and release their own music without having to procure a record contract from a major label . In 2014 , pop music worldwide was permeated by electronic dance music . A Scientific Reports study that examined over 464,000 recordings of popular music recorded between 1955 and 2010 found less variety in pitch progressions , growing average loudness levels , less diverse instrumentation and recording techniques , and less timbral variety , which declined after reaching a peak in the 1960s . Scientific American 's John Matson reported that this `` seems to support the popular anecdotal observation that pop music of yore was `` better '' , or at least more varied , than today 's top - 40 stuff . '' Technology and media ( edit ) Left , Michael Jackson ; right , Madonna known respectively as the `` King and Queen of Pop '' . In the 1940s improved microphone design allowed a more intimate singing style and ten or twenty years later , inexpensive and more durable 45 r.p.m. records for singles `` revolutionized the manner in which pop has been disseminated '' . This helped to move pop music to ' a record / radio / film star system ' . Another technological change was the widespread availability of television in the 1950s ; with televised performances , `` pop stars had to have a visual presence '' . In the 1960s , the introduction of inexpensive , portable transistor radios meant that First World teenagers could listen to music outside of the home . Multi-track recording ( from the 1960s ) ; and digital sampling ( from the 1980s ) have also been utilized as methods for the creation and elaboration of pop music . By the early 1980s , the promotion of pop music had been greatly affected by the rise of music television channels like MTV , which `` favoured those artists such as Michael Jackson and Madonna who had a strong visual appeal '' . Legitimacy in music criticism ( edit ) See also : Poptimism The latter half of the 20th - century included a large - scale trend in American culture in which the boundaries between art and pop music were increasingly blurred . Between 1950 and 1970 , there was a debate of pop versus art . Since then , certain music publications have embraced its legitimacy . According to Popmatters ' Robert Loss : `` There 's a strong argument for the ' rockist ' mode in music criticism -- that it exists , and that it 's harmful -- and poptimism has positioned itself as a corrective , an antidote ... In general , the Old Guard of rock critics and journalists is depicted as a bunch of bricklayers for the foundations of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame . True in part , which is to say , false . Like film studies , rock criticism of the late ' 60s and the ' 70s was an attempt to make popular music worthy of study ; it was poptimism before its day . '' International spread ( edit ) The story of pop music is largely the story of the intertwining pop culture of the United States and the United Kingdom in the postwar era . `` '' -- Bob Stanley Pop music has been dominated by the American and ( from the mid-1960s ) British music industries , whose influence has made pop music something of an international monoculture , but most regions and countries have their own form of pop music , sometimes producing local versions of wider trends , and lending them local characteristics . Some of these trends ( for example Europop ) have had a significant impact of the development of the genre . According to Grove Music Online , `` Western - derived pop styles , whether coexisting with or marginalizing distinctively local genres , have spread throughout the world and have come to constitute stylistic common denominators in global commercial music cultures '' . Some non-Western countries , such as Japan , have developed a thriving pop music industry , most of which is devoted to Western - style pop . Japan has for several years produced a greater quantity of music than everywhere except the USA . The spread of Western - style pop music has been interpreted variously as representing processes of Americanization , homogenization , modernization , creative appropriation , cultural imperialism , or a more general process of globalization . In Korea , pop music 's influence has led to the birth of boy bands and girl groups which have gained overseas renown through both their music and aesthetics . Korean co-ed groups ( mixed gender groups ) have not been as successful .

1309218660251685337 | Extended ASCII | Extended ASCII - wikipedia Extended ASCII Jump to : navigation , search Output of the program ascii in Cygwin The term extended ASCII ( EASCII or high ASCII ) refers to eight - bit or larger character encodings that include the standard seven - bit ASCII characters , plus additional characters . The use of the term is sometimes criticized , because it can be mistakenly interpreted to mean that the ASCII standard has been updated to include more than 128 characters or that the term unambiguously identifies a single encoding , both of which are not the case . There are many extended ASCII encodings ( more than 220 DOS and Windows codepages ) . EBCDIC ( `` the other '' major 8 - bit character code ) likewise developed many extended variants ( more than 186 EBCDIC codepages ) over the decades . Contents ( hide ) 1 Motive 2 Proprietary extensions 3 ISO 8859 and proprietary adaptations 4 Character set confusion 5 Multi-byte character encodings 6 Usage in computer - readable languages 7 See also 8 References 9 External links Motive ( 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 . ( March 2016 ) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message ) ASCII was designed in the 1960s for teleprinters and telegraphy , and some computing . Early teleprinters were electromechanical , having no microprocessor and just enough electromechanical memory to function . They fully processed one character at a time , returning to an idle state immediately afterward . They were typewriter - derived impact printers , and could only print a fixed set of glyphs , which were cast into a metal type element or elements . Seven - bit ASCII improved over prior five - and six - bit codes : it added the lowercase letters of the English alphabet and more symbols , for a total of 95 printing characters ; it encoded the letters in alphabetical order rather than keyboard position ; and it used the extra bits to address all characters rather than use control characters to select banks of characters . ASCII encodes only 95 carefully selected printable characters ( 94 glyphs and one space ) , which include the English alphabet ( uppercase and lowercase ) , digits , and 31 punctuation marks and symbols : all of the symbols on a standard US typewriter plus a few ; enough to communicate English - language text information . The number of printable characters was deliberately kept small , to keep teleprinters and line printers inexpensive . Some popular peripherals only implemented a 64 - printing - character subset : Teletype Model 33 could not transmit `` a '' through `` z '' or five less - common symbols ( ` ( ) and ~ ) . and when they received such characters they instead printed `` A '' through `` Z '' ( forced all caps ) and five other mostly - similar symbols ( @ ( \ ) and ^ ) . The ASCII character set is barely large enough for general use , and far too small for universal use . Many more letters and symbols are desirable , useful , or required to directly represent letters of alphabets other than English , more kinds of punctuation and spacing , more mathematical operators and symbols ( × ÷ ≠ ≥ ≈ π etc . ) , some unique symbols used by some programming languages , ideograms , logograms , box - drawing characters , etc . The biggest problem for computer users around the world was other alphabets . ASCII 's English alphabet almost accommodates European languages , if accented letters are replaced by non-accented letters or two - character approximations . Languages with dissimilar basic alphabets could use transliteration . Users were not comfortable with such compromises . Modified variants of 7 - bit ASCII appeared promptly , trading some lesser - used symbols for highly - desired symbols or letters , such as replacing `` # '' with `` £ '' on UK Teletypes , `` \ '' with `` ¥ '' in Japan or `` ₩ '' in Korea , etc . At least 29 variant sets resulted . 12 code points were modified by at least one modified set , leaving only 82 `` invariant '' codes . There was always temptation to make a larger character set ( preferably by extending a standard character set ) , but there was no easy path forward . There was no way to define a universal extension . There was no hardware to print or display an extended set . For years , applications were designed around the 64 - character set and / or the 95 - character set , so several characters acquired new uses . ( For example , ASCII lacks `` ÷ '' , so most programming languages use `` / '' ( and sometimes `` \ '' ) to indicate division , and most still do not recognize `` ÷ '' . C interprets the two - character sequences `` < % '' and `` % > '' as equivalent to `` ( '' and `` ) '' because `` ( '' and `` ) '' are not available on all keyboards . ) The English alphabet was generally useful on computers around the world , for programming , operation , and international communication , so extended character sets that added to the original ASCII set were a good idea . Seven - bit ASCII encodes only 128 characters ( including control characters ) . When computers and peripherals standardized on eight - bit bytes , it became obvious that computers and software could handle text that uses 256 - character sets at almost no additional cost in programming , and no additional cost for storage . ( Assuming that the unused 8th bit of each byte was not reused in some way , such as error checking , Boolean fields , or packing 8 characters into 7 bytes . ) An eight - bit character set ( using one byte per character ) encodes 256 characters , so it can include ASCII plus 128 more characters . ( Variable multi-byte schemes based on ASCII can add many more additional characters . Unmodified code will provide valid results searching for sequences of ASCII and extended characters . But software must be more sophisticated , only accepting or creating valid multi-byte characters , and always treating multi-byte characters as one character whenever counting , copying , comparing , inserting , or deleting characters . ) Many manufacturers devised 8 - bit character sets consisting of ASCII plus up to 128 of the unused codes , with varying degrees of cooperation or coordination by national and international standards bodies . 128 additional characters is not enough to cover all purposes , all languages , or even all European languages , so the emergence of many proprietary and national ASCII - derived 8 - bit character sets was inevitable . Drawbacks of multiple 8 - bit character sets are that conversion of text data from one character encoding to another ( transcoding ) is complex , and almost always has the possibility of changing non-ASCII characters in the text . Conversion requires a custom map from one character set to the other , or a description of both character sets from which the map can be generated . If any characters in the text are not defined in the destination character set , those characters can not be converted . Even one unconvertible character can mean failure of conversion , or the converter can substitute a similar character ( or characters ) or a warning character ( typically `` ? '' ) , and may issue a warning when done . When characters are substituted , a human should inspect and possibly modify the output text , possibly examining the input text .

( March 2016 ) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message ) Various proprietary modifications and extensions of ASCII appeared on non-EBCDIC mainframe computers and minicomputers , especially in universities . Hewlett - Packard started to add European characters to their extended 7 - bit / 8 - bit ASCII character set HP Roman Extension around 1978 / 1979 for use with their workstations , terminals and printers . This later evolved into the widely used regular 8 - bit character sets HP Roman - 8 and HP Roman - 9 ( as well as a number of variants ) . Atari and Commodore home computers added many graphic symbols to their non-standard ASCII ( Respectively , ATASCII and PETSCII , based on the original ASCII standard of 1963 ) . The TRS - 80 home computer additions included 64 semigraphics characters ( 0x80 through 0xAF ) that implemented low - resolution block graphics . ( Each block - graphic character displayed as a 2x3 grid of pixels , with each block pixel effectively controlled by one of the lower 6 bits . ) IBM introduced eight - bit extended ASCII codes on the original IBM PC and later produced variations for different languages and cultures . IBM called such character sets code pages and assigned numbers to both those they themselves invented as well as many invented and used by other manufacturers . Accordingly , character sets are very often indicated by their IBM code page number . In ASCII - compatible code pages , the lower 128 characters maintained their standard US - ASCII values , and different pages ( or sets of characters ) could be made available in the upper 128 characters . DOS computers built for the North American market , for example , used code page 437 , which included accented characters needed for French , German , and a few other European languages , as well as some graphical line - drawing characters . The larger character set made it possible to create documents in a combination of languages such as English and French ( though French computers usually use code page 850 ) , but not , for example , in English and Greek ( which required code page 737 ) . Apple Computer introduced their own eight - bit extended ASCII codes in Mac OS , such as Mac OS Roman . Digital Equipment Corporation ( DEC ) developed the Multinational Character Set , which had fewer characters but more letter and diacritic combinations . It was supported by the VT220 and later DEC computer terminals . This later became the basis for other character sets such as the Lotus International Character Set ( LICS ) , ECMA - 94 and ISO 8859 - 1 . ISO 8859 and proprietary adaptations ( edit ) Eventually , ISO released this standard as ISO 8859 describing its own set of eight - bit ASCII extensions . The most popular is ISO 8859 - 1 , also called ISO Latin 1 , which contained characters sufficient for the most common Western European languages . Variations were standardized for other languages as well : ISO 8859 - 2 for Eastern European languages and ISO 8859 - 5 for Cyrillic languages , for example . One notable way in which ISO character sets differ from code pages is that the character positions 128 to 159 , corresponding to ASCII control characters with the high - order bit set , are specifically unused and undefined in the ISO standards , though they had often been used for printable characters in proprietary code pages , a breaking of ISO standards that was almost universal . Microsoft later created code page 1252 , a compatible superset of ISO 8859 - 1 with extra characters in the ISO unused range . Code page 1252 is the standard character encoding of western European language versions of Microsoft Windows , including English versions . ISO 8859 - 1 is the common 8 - bit character encoding used by the X Window System , and most Internet standards used it before Unicode . Character set confusion ( edit ) The meaning of each extended code point can be different in every encoding . In order to correctly interpret and display text data ( sequences of characters ) that includes extended codes , hardware and software that reads or receives the text must use the specific extended ASCII encoding that applies to it . Applying the wrong encoding causes irrational substitution of many or all extended characters in the text . Software can use a fixed encoding selection , or it can select from a palette of encodings by defaulting , checking the computer 's nation and language settings , reading a declaration in the text , analyzing the text , asking the user , letting the user select or override , and / or defaulting to last selection . When text is transferred between computers that use different operating systems , software , and encodings , applying the wrong encoding can be commonplace . Because the full English alphabet and the most - used characters in English are included in the seven - bit code points of ASCII , which are common to all encodings ( even most proprietary encodings ) , English - language text is less damaged by interpreting it with the wrong encoding , but text in other languages can display as mojibake ( complete nonsense ) . Because many Internet standards use ISO 8859 - 1 , and because Microsoft Windows ( using the code page 1252 superset of ISO 8859 - 1 ) is the dominant operating system for personal computers today , unannounced use of ISO 8859 - 1 is quite commonplace , and may generally be assumed unless there are indications otherwise . Many communications protocols , most importantly SMTP and HTTP , require the character encoding of content to be tagged with IANA - assigned character set identifiers . Multi-byte character encodings ( edit ) Some multi-byte character encodings ( character encodings that can handle more than 256 different characters ) are also true extended ASCII . That means all ASCII characters are encoded with a single byte with the value that is used in ASCII to encode that character . They can be used in file formats where only ASCII bytes are used for keywords and file format syntax , while bytes 0x80 - 0xFF might be used for free text , including most programming languages , where language keywords , variable names , and function names must be in ASCII , but string constants and comments can use non-ASCII characters . This makes it much easier to introduce a multi-byte character set into existing systems that use extended ASCII . UTF - 8 is true extended ASCII , as are some Extended Unix Code encodings . ISO / IEC 6937 is not extended ASCII because its code point 0x24 corresponds to the general currency sign ( ¤ ) rather than to the dollar sign ( $ ) , but it is an extended version of the International Reference Version of ISO 646 . Shift JIS is not true extended ASCII , because although ASCII characters are encoded the same as in ASCII ( except for the backslash ; its position is used for the yen character ) , multi-byte characters can also include ASCII bytes ( 0x00 - 0x7F ) . Shift JIS can directly be used in programming languages and languages such as HTML ( if accepting that backslash looks like ¥ ) , because the bytes used for free text delimiters are not used as part of non-ASCII characters . UTF - 16 is even less extended ASCII because ASCII characters are stored as two bytes with one byte equal to 0x00 . Porting an existing system to support character sets as Shift JIS or UTF - 16 is complicated and bug prone . Usage in computer - readable languages ( edit ) For programming languages and document languages such as C and HTML , the principle of Extended ASCII is important , since it enables many different encodings and therefore many human languages to be supported with little extra programming effort in the software that interprets the computer - readable language files . The principle of Extended ASCII means that : all ASCII bytes ( 0x00 to 0x7F ) have the same meaning in all variants of extended ASCII , bytes that are not ASCII bytes are used only for free text and not for tags , keywords , or other features that have special meaning to the interpreting software .

-6206920448288890988 | X-ray tube | X-ray tube - wikipedia X-ray tube Jump to : navigation , search An X-ray tube is a vacuum tube that converts electrical input power into X-rays . X-ray tubes evolved from experimental Crookes tubes with which X-rays were first discovered on November 8 , 1895 , by the German physicist Wilhelm Conrad Röntgen . The availability of this controllable source of X-rays created the field of radiography , the imaging of partly opaque objects with penetrating radiation . In contrast to other sources of ionizing radiation , X-rays are only produced as long as the X-ray tube is energized . X-ray tubes are also used in CT scanners , airport luggage scanners , X-ray crystallography , material and structure analysis , and for industrial inspection . Coolidge X-ray tube , from around 1917 . The heated cathode is on the left , and the anode is right . The X-rays are emitted downwards . Contents ( hide ) 1 Types 1.1 Rotating anode tube 1.2 Microfocus X-ray tube 2 Physics 2.1 Heat unit 3 History 3.1 Crookes tube 3.2 Coolidge tube 4 Hazards of X-ray production from vacuum tubes 5 See also 6 Patents 7 References 8 External links Types ( edit ) Rotating anode tube ( edit ) Simplified rotating anode tube schematic A : Anode C : cathode T : Anode target W : X-ray window typical rotating anode X-ray tube The anode is supported on vacuum bearings and can be rotated by electromagnetic induction from a series of stator windings outside the evacuated tube . Typically , eddy currents are induced in a rotatable metal cylinder , the rotor . The superimposition of external magnetic induction and induction from the eddy currents , which changes direction with time , creates a driving mechanical momentum in the rotor . Because the entire anode assembly has to be contained within the evacuated tube , heat removal is a serious problem , further exacerbated by the higher power rating available . Due to the high heat generation , a matched thermal expansion of glass and the anode material is necessary . For this , high - borate borosilicate glass pioneered by Otto Schott is often used . Direct cooling by conduction or convection , as in the Coolidge tube , is difficult . In most tubes , the anode is suspended on ball bearings with silver powder lubrication which provides almost negligible cooling by conduction . A recent development has been liquid gallium lubricated fluid dynamic bearings which can withstand very high temperatures without contaminating the tube vacuum . The large bearing contact surface and metal lubricant provide an effective method for conduction of heat from the anode . The anode must be constructed of high temperature materials . The focal spot temperature can reach 2,500 ° C ( 4,530 ° F ) during an exposure , and the anode assembly can reach 1,000 ° C ( 1,830 ° F ) following a series of large exposures . Typical materials are a tungsten - rhenium target on a molybdenum core , backed with graphite . The rhenium makes the tungsten more ductile and resistant to wear from the impact of the electron beams . The molybdenum conducts heat from the target . The graphite provides thermal storage for the anode , and minimizes the rotating mass of the anode . Increasing demand for high - performance Computed tomography ( CT ) scanning and angiography systems has driven development of very high performance medical X-ray tubes . Contemporary CT tubes have power ratings of up to 100 kW and anode heat capacity of 6 MJ , yet retain an effective focal spot area of less than 1 mm . Microfocus X-ray tube ( edit ) Some X-ray examinations ( such as , e.g. , non-destructive testing and 3 - D microtomography ) need very high - resolution images and therefore require X-ray tubes that can generate very small focal spot sizes , typically below 50 μm in diameter . These tubes are called microfocus X-ray tubes . There are two basic types of microfocus X-ray tubes : solid - anode tubes and metal - jet - anode tubes . Solid - anode microfocus X-ray tubes are in principle very similar to the Coolidge tube , but with the important distinction that care has been taken to be able to focus the electron beam into a very small spot on the anode . Many microfocus X-ray sources operate with focus spots in the range 5 - 20 μm , but in the extreme cases spots smaller than 1 μm may be produced . The major drawback of solid - anode microfocus X-ray tubes is the very low power they operate at . In order to avoid melting of the anode the electron - beam power density must be below a maximum value . This value is somewhere in the range 0.4 - 0.8 W / μm depending on the anode material . This means that a solid - anode microfocus source with a 10 μm electron - beam focus can operate at a power in the range 4 - 8 W . In metal - jet - anode microfocus X-ray tubes the solid metal anode is replaced with a jet of liquid metal , which acts as the electron - beam target . The advantage of the metal - jet anode is that the maximum electron - beam power density is significantly increased . Values in the range 3 - 6 W / μm have been reported for different anode materials ( gallium and tin ) . In the case with a 10 μm electron - beam focus a metal - jet - anode microfocus X-ray source may operate at 30 - 60 W . The major benefit of the increased power density level for the metal - jet X-ray tube is the possibility to operate with a smaller focal spot , say 5 μm , to increase image resolution and at the same time acquire the image faster , since the power is higher ( 15 - 30 W ) than for solid - anode tubes with 10 μm focal spots . Physics ( edit ) Spectrum of the X-rays emitted by an X-ray tube with a rhodium target , operated at 60 kV . The smooth , continuous curve is due to bremsstrahlung , and the spikes are characteristic K lines for rhodium atoms . As with any vacuum tube , there is a cathode , which emits electrons into the vacuum and an anode to collect the electrons , thus establishing a flow of electrical current , known as the beam , through the tube . A high voltage power source , for example 30 to 150 kilovolts ( kV ) , called the tube voltage , is connected across cathode and anode to accelerate the electrons . The X-ray spectrum depends on the anode material and the accelerating voltage . In many applications , the current flow ( typically in the range 1 mA to 1 A ) is able to be pulsed on for between about 1 ms to 1 s . This enables consistent doses of X-rays , and taking snapshots of motion . Until the late 1980s , X-ray generators were merely high - voltage , AC to DC variable power supplies . In the late 1980s a different method of control was emerging , called high speed switching . This followed the electronics technology of switching power supplies ( aka switch mode power supply ) , and allowed for more accurate control of the X-ray unit , higher quality results , and reduced X-ray exposures . Electrons from the cathode collide with the anode material , usually tungsten , molybdenum or copper , and accelerate other electrons , ions and nuclei within the anode material . About 1 % of the energy generated is emitted / radiated , usually perpendicular to the path of the electron beam , as X-rays . The rest of the energy is released as heat . Over time , tungsten will be deposited from the target onto the interior surface of the tube , including the glass surface . This will slowly darken the tube and was thought to degrade the quality of the X-ray beam . Vaporized tungsten condenses on the inside of the envelope over the `` window '' and thus acts as an additional filter and decreases the tubes ability to radiate heat . Eventually , the tungsten deposit may become sufficiently conductive that at high enough voltages , arcing occurs . The arc will jump from the cathode to the tungsten deposit , and then to the anode . This arcing causes an effect called `` crazing '' on the interior glass of the X-ray window . As time goes on , the tube becomes unstable even at lower voltages , and must be replaced . At this point , the tube assembly ( also called the `` tube head '' ) is removed from the X-ray system , and replaced with a new tube assembly . The old tube assembly is shipped to a company that reloads it with a new X-ray tube . The X-ray photon - generating effect is generally called the bremsstrahlung effect , a contraction of the German bremsen for braking , and strahlung for radiation . The range of photonic energies emitted by the system can be adjusted by changing the applied voltage , and installing aluminum filters of varying thicknesses . Aluminum filters are installed in the path of the X-ray beam to remove `` soft '' ( non-penetrating ) radiation . The number of emitted X-ray photons , or dose , are adjusted by controlling the current flow and exposure time . The tube current and exposure time affect the dose and therefore the contrast of the image . Heat unit ( edit ) Since the introduction of scattered electron traps , directly cooled liquid metal anode bearings , rotating frame tubes and other modern technology the term has become misleading when used for the objective comparison of the performance of medical rotating anode X-ray tubes . Accordingly , the IEC 60613 standard has been revised in 2010 . Anode heat storage capacity and implicitly `` Heat Units '' were abandoned and replaced by terms of practical relevance , e.g. NOMINAL CT ANODE INPUT POWER . Historically , heat units were referring to the amount of heat stored in a solely radiation cooled anode inside an electron reflecting glass envelope . In radiography , in particular in radiology , a heat unit was a usual unit derived from the Joule and measuring the quantity of heat in a device , in particular the thermal energy that an X-ray tube must be able to support and dissipate during and after an exam . Historically , this unit comes from the need to express a quantity of energy whatever the waveform of the electrical source power ( direct or pulsating ) . The heat produced in these devices is ( in Joule ) : E h e a t = V e f f I e f f t ( \ displaystyle E_ ( \ mathrm ( heat ) ) = V_ ( \ mathrm ( eff ) ) I_ ( \ mathrm ( eff ) ) \ ; t ) In radiography voltage is usually expressed in k V p ( \ displaystyle \ mathrm ( kV_ ( p ) ) ) ( thousands of volts peak ) , the effective current in mA and the time in seconds : E h e a t = w × k V p × m A × t ( \ displaystyle E_ ( \ mathrm ( heat ) ) = w \ times \ mathrm ( kV_ ( p ) ) \ times \ mathrm ( mA ) \ times t ) w being the waveform ratio . With a full - wave rectification of a sine wave it equals 1 2 ≈ 0.707 ( \ displaystyle ( \ frac ( 1 ) ( \ sqrt ( 2 ) ) ) \ approx 0.707 ) , thus the practical unit : 1 HU = 0.707 J or 1.4 HU = 1 J History ( edit ) Crookes tube ( edit ) Crookes X-ray tube from early 1900s . The cathode is on the right , the anode is in the center with attached heat sink at left . The electrode at the 10 o'clock position is the anticathode . The device at top is a ' softener ' used to regulate the gas pressure . Historically , X-rays were discovered radiating from experimental discharge tubes called Crookes tubes invented by British physicist William Crookes and others . As the medical and other uses of X-rays became apparent , workshops began to manufacture specialized Crookes tubes to produce X-rays . These were the first X-ray tubes . These first generation cold cathode or Crookes X-ray tubes were used until the 1920s . Crookes tubes generated the electrons needed to create X-rays by ionization of the residual air in the tube , instead of a heated filament , so they were partially but not completely evacuated . They consisted of a glass bulb with around 10 to 5 × 10 atmospheric pressure of air ( 0.1 to 0.005 Pa ) . An aluminum cathode plate at one end of the tube created a beam of electrons , which struck a platinum anode ( for economy , made from nickel or copper with a thin platinum face ) target at the center generating X-rays . The anode surface was angled so that the X-rays would radiate through the side of the tube . The cathode was concave so that the electrons were focused on a small ( ~ 1 mm ) spot on the anode , approximating a point source of X-rays , which resulted in sharper images . The tube had a third electrode , an anticathode connected to the anode . It improved the X-ray output , but the method by which it achieved this is not understood . A more common arrangement used a copper plate anticathode ( similar in construction to the cathode ) in line with the anode such that the anode was between the cathode and the anticathode . To operate , a DC voltage of a few kilovolts to as much as 100 kV was applied between the anodes and the cathode , usually generated by an induction coil , or for larger tubes , an electrostatic machine . This created and then accelerated a small number of ions from the low pressure gas in the tube . These struck further gas atoms , knocking electrons off them , creating more positive ions in a chain reaction . All the positive ions were attracted to the cathode . When they struck it , they knocked electrons out of the metal , which were accelerated along with the electrons knocked from the gas atoms toward the anode target . When these high speed electrons struck the atoms of the anode , they created X-rays by one of two processes , either Bremsstrahlung or X-ray fluorescence . Crookes tubes were unreliable . As time passed , the residual air would be absorbed by the walls of the tube , reducing the pressure . This increased the voltage across the tube , generating ' harder ' X-rays , until eventually the tube stopped working . To prevent this , ' softener ' devices were used ( see picture ) . A small tube attached to the side of the main tube contained a mica sleeve or chemical that released a small amount of gas when heated , restoring the correct pressure . The glass envelope of the tube would blacken in use due to the X-rays affecting its structure . Coolidge tube ( edit ) Coolidge side - window tube ( scheme ) C : filament / cathode ( - ) A : anode ( + ) W and W : water inlet and outlet of the cooling device typical fixed - anode X-ray tube The Crookes tube was improved by William Coolidge in 1913 . The Coolidge tube , also called hot cathode tube , is the most widely used . It works with a very good quality vacuum ( about 10 Pa , or 10 Torr ) . In the Coolidge tube , the electrons are produced by thermionic effect from a tungsten filament heated by an electric current . The filament is the cathode of the tube . The high voltage potential is between the cathode and the anode , the electrons are thus accelerated , and then hit the anode . There are two designs : end - window tubes and side - window tubes . End window tubes usually have `` transmission target '' which is thin enough to allow X-rays to pass through the target ( X-rays are emitted in the same direction as the electrons are moving . ) In one common type of end - window tube , the filament is around the anode ( `` annular '' or ring - shaped ) , the electrons have a curved path ( half of a toroid ) . What is special about side - window tubes is an electrostatic lens is used to focus the beam onto a very small spot on the anode . The anode is specially designed to dissipate the heat and wear resulting from this intense focused barrage of electrons . Some anodes are mechanically spun to increase the area heated by the beam ( e.g. edical `` rotating anode '' ) or cooled by circulating coolant ( indirectly on most rotating anodes ) . The anode is precisely angled at 1 - 20 degrees off perpendicular to the electron current so as to allow the escape of some of the X-ray photons which are emitted perpendicular to the direction of the electron current . The anode is usually made out of tungsten or molybdenum . The tube has a window designed for escape of the generated X-ray photons . The power of a Coolidge tube usually ranges from 0.1 to 18 kW . Hazards of X-ray production from vacuum tubes ( edit ) Two high Voltage rectifier tubes capable of producing X-rays Any vacuum tube operating at several thousand volts or more can produce X-rays as an unwanted byproduct , raising safety issues . The higher the voltage , the more penetrating the resulting radiation and the more the hazard . CRT displays , once common in color televisions and computer displays , operate at 3 - 40 kilovolts , making them the main concern among household appliances . Historically , concern has focused less on the cathode ray tube , since its thick glass envelope is impregnated with several pounds of lead for shielding , than on high voltage ( HV ) rectifier and voltage regulator tubes inside . In the late 1960s it was found that a failure in the HV supply circuit of some General Electric TVs could leave excessive voltages on the regulator tube , causing it to emit X-rays . The models were recalled and the ensuing scandal caused the US agency responsible for regulating this hazard , the Center for Devices and Radiological Health of the Food and Drug Administration ( FDA ) , to require that all TVs include circuits to prevent excessive voltages in the event of failure . The hazard associated with excessive voltages was eliminated with the advent of all solid state TVs , which have no tubes beside the CRT . Since 1969 the FDA has limited TV X-ray emission to 0.5 mR ( milliroentgen ) per hour . The flat screens used today do not have any vacuum tubes capable of emitting X-rays .

In the United States Navy , these consist of ships commissioned with hull classification symbols CV ( aircraft carrier ) , CVA ( attack aircraft carrier ) , CVB ( large aircraft carrier ) , CVL ( light aircraft carrier ) , CVN ( aircraft carrier ( nuclear propulsion ) ) and CVAN ( attack aircraft carrier ( nuclear propulsion ) ) . Beginning with the Forrestal - class , ( CV - 59 to present ) all carriers commissioned into service are classified as supercarriers . The United States Navy has also used escort aircraft carriers and airship aircraft carriers . This list does not include various amphibious warfare ships which can operate as carriers . The first aircraft carrier commissioned into the United States Navy was USS Langley ( CV - 1 ) on 20 March 1922 . The Langley was a converted Proteus - class collier ( originally commissioned as USS Jupiter ( AC - 3 ) , Langley was soon followed by the Lexington - class , USS Ranger ( the first purpose - built carriers in the American fleet ) , the Yorktown - class , and USS Wasp . These classes made up the entirety of the United States carrier fleet active prior to and during the Second World War . With World War II looming , two more classes of carriers were commissioned under President Franklin Roosevelt , the Essex - class , which in divided into regular bow and extended bow sub-classes and the Independence - class , which are classified as light aircraft carriers . Between these two classes , 35 ships were created . During this time , the Navy also purchased two training vessels , USS Wolverine and USS Sable . The Cold War led to multiple developments in the United States ' carrier fleet , starting with the addition of the Midway - class and the Saipan - class . One more class in the start of the Cold War , the United States - class , was canceled due to the Truman administration 's policy of shrinking the United States Navy and in particular , the Navy 's air assets . The policy was eventually revised after a public outcry and Congressional hearings sparked by the Revolt of the Admirals . Later in the Cold War era , the first of the classes dubbed `` supercarriers '' was born , starting with USS Forrestal ( CV - 59 ) , followed by the Kitty Hawk - class and single ships Enterprise ( CVN - 65 ) , the first nuclear powered carrier and John F. Kennedy ( CV - 67 ) , the last conventionally powered carrier . These were then followed by the Nimitz - class and the post-cold war Gerald R. Ford - class nuclear supercarriers , the only classes that are currently in active - duty service . The ten - ship Nimitz - class is complete , while USS Gerald R. Ford ( CVN - 78 ) , the lead ship of her planned ten - ship class , is the only ship active so far , with construction started on two more ships , John F. Kennedy ( CVN - 79 ) and Enterprise ( CVN - 80 ) .

"Later in the Cold War era, the first of the classes dubbed \"supercarriers\" was born, starting with USS Forrestal (CV-59),[10] followed by the Kitty Hawk-class and single ships Enterprise (CVN-65), the first nuclear powered carrier and John F. Kennedy (CV-67), the last conventionally powered carrier. These were then followed by the Nimitz-class and the post-cold war Gerald R. Ford-class nuclear supercarriers, the only classes that are currently in active-duty service.[11] The ten-ship Nimitz-class is complete, while USS Gerald R. Ford (CVN-78), the lead ship of her planned ten-ship class, is the only ship active so far, with construction started on two more ships, John F. Kennedy (CVN-79) and Enterprise (CVN-80).[12][13]\n"

In short , many in those colonies believed that , as they were not directly represented in the distant British Parliament , any laws it passed affecting the colonists ( such as the Sugar Act and the Stamp Act ) were illegal under the Bill of Rights 1689 , and were a denial of their rights as Englishmen . Jonathan Mayhew , Old West Church 's second Congregational pastor , used the phrase , `` No Taxation Without Representation '' in a sermon in 1750 . The phrase revives a sentiment central to the cause of the English Civil War following the refusal of parliamentarian John Hampden to pay ship money tax . `` No Taxation Without Representation , '' in the context of British American Colonial taxation , appeared for the first time in the February 1768 London Magazine headline , on page 89 , in the printing of Lord Camden 's `` Speech on the Declaratory Bill of the Sovereignty of Great Britain over the Colonies .

By the 1760s , the Americans were being deprived of a historic right . The English Bill of Rights 1689 had forbidden the imposition of taxes without the consent of Parliament . Since the colonists had no representation in Parliament , the taxes violated the guaranteed Rights of Englishmen . Parliament initially contended that the colonists had virtual representation , but the idea `` found little support on either side of the Atlantic '' . John Dunmore Lang wrote in 1852 , `` The person who first suggested the idea ( of Parliamentary representation for the colonies ) appears to have been Oldmixon , an American annalist of the era of Queen Anne or George I. It was afterwards put forward with approbation by the celebrated Dr. Adam Smith , and advocated for a time , but afterwards rejected and strongly opposed , by Dr. Benjamin Franklin . '' The eloquent 1768 Petition , Memorial , and Remonstrance objecting to taxation , written by the Virginia House of Burgesses and endorsed by every other Colony , was sent to the British Government , which seems to have ignored it . American Revolution ( edit ) Main article : American Revolution Bronze sculpture of James Otis , Jr stands in front of the Barnstable County Courthouse . The phrase had been used for more than a generation in Ireland . By 1765 , the term was in use in Boston , and local politician James Otis was most famously associated with the phrase , `` taxation without representation is tyranny . '' In the course of the Revolutionary era ( 1750 -- 1783 ) , many arguments were pursued that sought to resolve the dispute surrounding Parliamentary sovereignty , taxation , self - governance and representation . Representative proposals before 1776 ( edit ) In the course of the 1760s and 1770s , William Pitt the Elder , Sir William Pulteney , and George Grenville , amongst other prominent Britons and colonial Americans , such as Joseph Galloway , James Otis Jr. , Benjamin Franklin , John Adams , the London Quaker Thomas Crowley , Royal Governors such as Thomas Pownall M.P. , William Franklin , Sir Francis Bernard , and the Attorney - General of Quebec , Francis Maseres , debated and circulated plans for the creation of colonial seats in London , imperial union with Great Britain , or a federally representative British Parliament with powers of taxation that was to consist of American , West Indian , Irish and British Members of Parliament . Despite the fact that these ideas were considered and discussed seriously on both sides of the Atlantic , it appears that neither the American Congress , nor the colonial Assemblies , nor the British Government in Westminster , at least prior to the Carlisle Peace Commission of 1778 , officially proposed such constitutional developments . It must be noted , however , that Governor Thomas Hutchinson apparently referred to a colonial representational proposal when he wrote that , The Assembly of Massachusetts Bay ... was the first which ever took exception to the right of Parliament to impose Duties or Taxes on the Colonies , whilst they had no representatives in the House of Commons . This they did in a letter to their Agent in the summer of 1764 ... And in this letter they recommend to him a pamphlet , wrote by one of their members , in which there are proposals for admitting representatives from the Colonies to fit in the House of Commons ... an American representation is thrown out as an expedient which might obviate the objections to Taxes upon the Colonies , yet ... it was renounced ... by the Assembly of the Colony which first proposed it , as utterly impracticable . Jared Ingersoll Snr. , colonial agent for Connecticut , wrote to his American colleague , the Royal Governor of Connecticut Thomas Fitch , that following Isaac Barre 's famous Parliamentary speech against the Stamp Act in 1764 , Richard Jackson , M.P. , supported Barre and other pro-American M.P.s by producing before the House copies of earlier Acts of Parliament that had admitted Durham and Chester seats upon their petitions for representation . The argument was put forward in Parliament that America ought to have representatives on these grounds too . Richard Jackson supposed that Parliament had a right to tax America , but he much doubted the expediency of the Stamp act . He said if it was necessary , as ministers claimed , to tax the colonies , the latter should be permitted to elect some part of the Parliament , `` otherwise the liberties of America , I do not say will be lost , but will be in danger . '' The Knox - Burke debates ( edit ) William Knox , an aide of George Grenville , pamphleteer and subsequent Irish Under - Secretary of State for the Colonies , received an appointment in 1756 to the American provinces , and after his return to London in 1761 , he recommended the creation of a colonial aristocracy and colonial representation in the British Parliament . He was shortly afterwards appointed agent for Georgia and East Florida , a post which he forfeited by writing in favour of the Stamp Act . In his Grenville - backed pamphlet of 1769 , The Controversy between Great Britain and her Colonies Reviewed , Knox suggested that colonial representatives might have been offered seats in the British Parliament if they had sought such representation . Knox submitted that , whilst ( the radical colonists ) exclaim against Parliament for taxing them when they are not represented , they candidly declare they will not have representatives ( in Parliament ) lest they should be taxed ... The truth ... is that they are determined to get rid of the jurisdiction of Parliament ... and they therefore refuse to send members to that assembly lest they should preclude themselves of ( the ) plea ( that Parliament 's ) legislative acts ... are done without their consent ; which , it must be confessed , holds equally good against all laws , as against taxes ... The colony advocates ... tell us , that by refusing to accept our offer of representatives they ... mean to avoid giving Parliament a pretence for taxing them . Edmund Burke responded to Knox , who had drawn up The Controversy between Great Britain and her Colonies Reviewed as well as The Present State of the Nation ( 1768 ) under the supervision of George Grenville , by opining in his political tract Observations on a Late State of the Nation ( 1769 ) , NOW comes ( Knox 's ) American representation ... Is not the reader a little astonished at the proposal of an American representation from that quarter ( of Grenville 's ) ? It is proposed merely as a project of speculative improvement ; not from the necessity in the case , not to add any thing to the authority of parliament : but that we may afford a greater attention to the concerns of the Americans , and give them a better opportunity of stating their grievances , and of obtaining redress . I am glad to find the author has at length discovered that we have not given a sufficient attention to their concerns , or a proper redress to their grievances . His great friend ( Grenville ) would once have been exceedingly displeased with any person , who should tell him , that he did not attend sufficiently to those concerns . He thought he did so , when he regulated the colonies over and over again : he thought he did so , when he formed two general systems of revenue ; one of port - duties , and the other of internal taxation . These systems supposed , or ought to suppose , the greatest attention to , and the most detailed information of , all their affairs . However , by contending for the American representation , he seems at last driven virtually to admit , that great caution ought to be used in the exercise of all our legislative rights over an object so remote from our eye , and so little connected with our immediate feelings ; that in prudence we ought not to be quite so ready with our taxes , until we can secure the desired representation in parliament . Perhaps it may be some time before this hopeful scheme can be brought to perfect maturity ; although the author seems to be no wise aware of any obstructions that lie in the way of it . While Knox , Grenville and Burke were not necessarily opposed in principle to direct colonial representation in Parliament , Grenville nonetheless conjectured that Parliament retained a constitutional right to virtually represent the colonial subjects . On the American taxation ( edit ) Burke supported the doctrine of virtual representation in Britain . Yet in his Parliamentary speech of 1774 , entitled On American Taxation , Burke responded to the suggestion that America was virtually represented in Parliament by remarking , What ! does the electric force of virtual representation more easily pass over the Atlantic than pervade Wales , which lies in your neighborhood ? or than Chester and Durham , surrounded by abundance of representation that is actual and palpable ? But , Sir , your ancestors thought this sort of virtual representation , however ample , to be totally insufficient for the freedom of the inhabitants of territories that are so near , and comparatively so inconsiderable . How , then , can I think it sufficient for those which are infinitely greater , and infinitely more remote ? You will now , Sir , perhaps imagine that I am on the point of proposing to you a scheme for a representation of the colonies in Parliament . Perhaps I might be inclined to entertain some such thought ; but a great flood stops me in my course . Opposuit Natura . I can not remove the eternal barriers of the creation . The thing , in that mode , I do not know to be possible . As I meddle with no theory , I do not absolutely assert the impracticability of such a representation ; but I do not see my way to it ; and those who have been more confident have not been more successful ... My resolutions , therefore , mean to establish the equity and justice of a taxation of America by grant , and not by imposition ; to mark the legal competency of the colony assemblies for the support of their government in peace , and for public aids in time of war ; to acknowledge that this legal competency has had a dutiful and beneficial exercise , and that experience has shown the benefit of their grants , and the futility of Parliamentary taxation , as a method of supply . However , Burke apparently qualified such remarks concerning America by stating in the same speech that , The Parliament of Great Britain ... is never to intrude into the place of the ( provincial legislatures ) , whilst they are equal to the common ends of their institution . But in order to enable ( Parliamentary ) ... superintendence , her powers must be boundless . The gentlemen who think the powers of Parliament limited may please themselves to talk of requisitions . But suppose the requisitions are not obeyed ? What ! shall there be no reserved power in the empire , to supply a deficiency which may weaken , divide , and dissipate the whole ? We are engaged in war , -- the Secretary of State calls upon the colonies to contribute , -- some would do it , I think most would cheerfully furnish whatever is demanded , -- one or two , suppose , hang back , and , easing themselves , let the stress of the draft lie on the others , -- surely it is proper that some authority might legally say , `` Tax yourselves for the common Supply , or Parliament will do it for you . '' This backwardness was , as I am told , actually the case of Pennsylvania for some short time towards the beginning of the last war , owing to some internal dissensions in that colony . But whether the fact were so or otherwise , the case is equally to be provided for by a competent sovereign power . But then this ought to be no ordinary power , nor ever used in the first instance . This is what I meant , when I have said , at various times , that I consider the power of taxing in Parliament as an instrument of empire , and not as a means of supply . William Pitt the Elder ( edit ) The views of Knox , Grenville and Burke did not go unchallenged : William Pitt was amongst those who disputed that a Parliamentary right or power existed to levy `` internal '' taxes `` for the purposes of raising a revenue '' without the consent of actual representatives of the `` Commons of America '' . `` It is my opinion , '' Pitt said , `` that this kingdom has no right to lay a tax upon the colonies . '' Colonial spokespersons ( edit ) In 1764 , the Massachusetts politician James Otis , Jr. , said that , When the parliament shall think fit to allow the colonists a representation in the house of commons , the equity of their taxing the colonies , will be as clear as their power is at present of doing it without , if they please ... But if it was thought hard that charter privileges should be taken away by act of parliament , is it not much harder to be in part , or in whole , disfranchised of rights , that have been always thought inherent to a British subject , namely , to be free from all taxes , but what he consents to in person , or by his representative ? This right , if it could be traced no higher than Magna Charta , is part of the common law , part of a British subjects birthright , and as inherent and perpetual , as the duty of allegiance ; both which have been brought to these colonies , and have been hitherto held sacred and inviolable , and I hope and trust ever will . It is humbly conceived , that the British colonists ( except only the conquered , if any ) are , by Magna Charta , as well entitled to have a voice in their taxes , as the subjects within the realm . Are we not as really deprived of that right , by the parliament assessing us before we are represented in the house of commons , as if the King should do it by his prerogative ? Can it be said with any colour of truth or justice , that we are represented in parliament ? -- James Otis , Rights of British Colonies Asserted Otis , Jr. , attended the Continental Congress of 1765 along with other colonial delegates . The resolutions of the Congress stated that the Stamp Act had `` a manifest tendency to subvert the rights and liberties of the colonists '' and that `` the only Representatives of the People of these Colonies , are Persons chosen therein by themselves , and that no Taxes ever have been , or can be Constitutionally imposed on them , but by their respective Legislature . '' Furthermore , it was declared that , `` it is unreasonable and inconsistent with the Principles and Spirit of the British Constitution , for the People of Great - Britain , to grant to his Majesty the Property of the Colonists . '' Daniel Dulany , Jr. , of Maryland , wrote in 1765 that , `` the Impropriety of a Taxation by the British Parliament ... ( is proven by ) the Fact , that not one inhabitant in any Colony is , or can be actually or virtually represented by the British House of Commons . '' Dulany , Jr. , denied that Parliament had a right `` to impose an internal Tax upon the Colonies , without their consent for the single Purpose of Revenue . '' In 1766 , Benjamin Franklin told the House of Commons that , `` an internal tax is forced from the people without their consent if not laid by their own representatives . The Stamp Act says we shall have no commerce , make no exchange of property with each other , neither purchase nor grant , nor recover debts ; we shall neither marry nor make our wills , unless we pay such and such sums ; and thus it is intended to extort our money from us or ruin us by the consequence of refusing to pay it . '' Republicanism ( edit ) For those sympathetic to republicanism , such as James Burgh , Catherine Macauley , and Richard Price , any tax revenue measures that were voted into effect without the direct representation of Americans were `` unconstitutional '' and `` pernicious '' . Burgh felt that virtual representation was `` subversive of liberty '' and `` unjust in its principles '' and that the House of Commons must include colonial representatives when it voted on colonial matters , or operate by using the consent of the colonial Assemblies . Heightening of tensions ( edit ) The Americans rejected the Stamp Act of 1765 brought in by British Prime Minister George Grenville , and violently rejected the remaining tax on tea imports , under the Tea Act passed in May 1773 , at the Boston Tea Party on December 16 , 1773 . The Parliament considered this an illegal act because they believed it undermined the authority of the Crown - in - Parliament . When the British then used the military to enforce laws that the colonists believed Parliament had passed illegally , the colonists responded by forming militias and seized political control of each colony , ousting the royal governors -- with the exception of the American - born Royal Governor of Connecticut , John Trumbull , who was allowed to remain as the new Patriot Governor . The complaint was never officially over the amount of taxation ( the taxes were quite low , though ubiquitous ) , but always on the political decision - making process by which taxes were decided in London , i.e. without representation for the colonists in British Parliament . Patrick Henry 's resolution in the Virginia legislature implied that Americans possessed all the rights of Englishmen , that the principle of no taxation without representation was an essential part of the British Constitution , and that Virginia alone had the right to tax Virginians . Efforts at conciliation ( edit ) Main article : Diplomacy in the American Revolutionary War This offer of actual imperial representation was likewise re-stated to the delegates of the colonies via the colonial agents in 1774 , according to Connecticut - born Reverend Thomas Bradbury Chandler , in his publication A Friendly Address to All Reasonable Americans . In February 1775 , Britain passed the Conciliatory Resolution which ended taxation for any colony which satisfactorily provided for the imperial defence and the upkeep of imperial officers . Representative proposals after 1776 ( edit ) James Macpherson , a colonial secretary of British West Florida , defended the North administration in an officially sponsored polemic in 1776 named The Rights of Great Britain Asserted . This work replied to the Continental Congress ' July 6 , 1775 Declaration of the Causes and Necessity of Taking Up Arms by proposing that , Had the Americans , instead of flying to arms , submitted the same supposed grievance ( as the taxed though unrepresented Palatine counties in England had ) , in a peaceable and dutiful manner , to the Legislature , I can perceive no reason why their request should be refused . Had they , like the County and City of Chester , represented , that `` for lack of Knights and Burgesses to represent them in the High Court of Parliament , they had been oftentimes TOUCHED and GRIEVED with Acts and Statutes made within the said Court , derogatory to their most ancient jurisdictions , liberties and privileges , and prejudicial to their quietness , rest and peace ; '' this Country ( of Britain ) would , I am persuaded , have no objection to their being represented in her Parliament ... If they are not madly bent on independence , let them propose the conditions on which they wish to continue as subjects ... The Legislature of this Kingdom can not possibly depart from any part of its supremacy over the Colonies ; but it is in the power of the Colonies to share in that supremacy . If they complain of being taxed without having the privilege of sending Members to Parliament , let them be represented . Nay , more : Let their representation increase in proportion to the Revenue they shall furnish . If they wish rather to vote their QUOTA towards the general supply , through their own General Courts and Assemblies , the resolution of Parliament on that subject is still open to their choice . But , as long as they assume the language of a Sovereign State , this Kingdom can enter into no negociation ( sic ) , can meet no compromise . '' The noted economist Adam Smith seconded this view in his famous 1776 publication Wealth of Nations when he recommended the Americans `` to send fifty or sixty new representatives to Parliament '' on the basis of the amount of taxes they would contribute to the Imperial coffers . Writing in October 1776 to Lord North in Strictures upon the Declaration of the Congress of the recent Declaration of Independence , and particularly of James Otis , Jr. 's pamphlet Rights of the British Colonies and its endorsement by the Massachusetts Assembly , Governor Thomas Hutchinson said , The Assembly of Massachusetts Bay , therefore , was the first that took any publick of the ( Sugar ) Act , and the first which ever took exception to the right of Parliament to impose Duties or Taxes on the Colonies , whilst they had no representatives in the House of Commons . This they did in a letter to their Agent in the summer of 1764 , which they took care to print and publish before it was possible for him to receive it . And in this letter they recommend to him a pamphlet , wrote by one of their members , in which there are proposals for admitting representatives from the Colonies to fit in the House of Commons . I have this special reason , my Lord , for taking notice of this Act of the Massachusetts Assembly ; that though an American representation is thrown out as an expedient which might obviate the objections to Taxes upon the Colonies , yet it was only intended to amuse the authority in England ; and as soon as it was known to have its advocates here ( in London ) , it was renounced by the colonies , and even by the Assembly of the Colony which first proposed it , as utterly impracticable . '' Indeed , the resolves of the Continental Congresses of both 1765 and 1774 declared that imperial representation was too impractical on the footing that `` local and other circumstances , can not properly be represented in the British parliament '' . The British Government , similarly , does not appear to have formally requested discussions with the Americans concerning the issue of Parliamentary seats until 1778 . In that year `` the commissioners of the king of Great Britain , '' known as the Carlisle Peace Commission of 1778 , made an offer to the Congress of `` a reciprocal deputation of an agent or agents from the different states , who shall have the privilege of a seat and voice in the parliament of Great Britain '' . Virtual representation ( edit ) Main article : Virtual representation In Britain , representation was highly limited due to unequally distributed voting constituencies and property requirements ; only 3 % of the population could vote and they were often controlled by local gentry . This meant that spurious arguments had come to be employed in Britain to try to explain away and cover up the iniquities in its political life . Therefore the British government tried to argue that the colonists had virtual representation in their interests . In the winter of 1764 -- 65 , George Grenville , and his secretary Thomas Whately , invented the doctrine of ' virtual representation ' in an attempt extend the scope of such unjust arguments to America , and thereby attempt to legitimise the pernicious policies of the Stamp Act . In English history , `` no taxation without representation '' was an old principle and meant that Parliament had to pass all taxes . At first , the `` representation '' was held to be one of land , but , by 1700 , this had shifted to the notion that , in Parliament , all British subjects had a `` virtual representation . '' `` We virtually and implicitly allow the institutions of any government of which we enjoy the benefit and solicit the protection , '' declared Samuel Johnson in his political pamphlet Taxation No Tyranny . He rejected the plea that the colonists , who had no vote , were unrepresented . `` They are represented , '' he said , `` by the same virtual representation as the greater part of England . '' However , the tradition of greater democracy amongst Americans gave impetus to the well - founded charge , voiced by Britons and colonists alike , that virtual representation was `` sophistry '' and `` a mere Cob - web , spread to catch the unwary , and intangle ( sic ) the weak . '' The colonial insistence on direct representation as opposed to virtual representation has thus been seen by later commentators to have `` usher ( ed ) in a profound political and social revolution , which rooted out most of the remaining traces of monarchic rule and feudalism inherited from the only partially complete English bourgeois revolution . The Americans carried through the bourgeois democratic revolution on a scale never before seen in history . '' Colonial reactions ( edit ) Virtual representation was wholly rejected in the colonies , who said the `` virtual '' was a cover for political corruption and was irreconcilable with their belief that government derives its just powers from the consent of the governed . In 1765 , the American lawyer and politician James Otis , Jr. , responded to Soame Jenyns ' The Objections to the Taxation of Our American Colonies , by the Legislature of Great Britain , Briefly Considered . Otis ' own publication was entitled Considerations on Behalf of the Colonists , in a Letter to a Noble Lord . He wrote in it , `` To what purpose is it to ring everlasting changes to the colonists on the cases of Manchester , Birmingham and Sheffield , who return no members ? If those now so considerable places are not represented , they ought to be . '' Writing in his 1763 publication The Rights of the British Colonies Asserted and Proved , Otis declared that , Every British subject born on the continent of America , or in any other of the British dominions , is by the law of God and nature , by the common law , and by act of parliament , ( exclusive of all charters from the Crown ) entitled to all the natural , essential , inherent and inseparable rights of our fellow subjects in Great Britain . Among those rights ... which it is humbly conceived no man or body of men , not excepting the parliament , justly , equitably and consistently with their own rights and the constitution , can take away ... ( are that the ) supreme and subordinate powers of the legislation should be free and sacred in the hands where the community have once rightfully placed them ... ( that the ) supreme national legislative can not be altered justly ' till the commonwealth is dissolved , nor a subordinate legislative taken away without forfeiture or other good cause . Nor then can the subjects in the subordinate government be reduced to a state of slavery , and subject to the despotic rule of others ... Even when the subordinate right of legislature is forfeited , and so declared , this can not affect the natural persons either of those who were invested with it , or the inhabitants , so far as to deprive them of the rights of subjects and of men -- The colonists will have an equitable right notwithstanding any such forfeiture of charter , to be represented in Parliament , or to have some new subordinate legislature among themselves . It would be best if they had both ... ( Furthermore , the right of every British subject is that the ) supreme power can not take from any man any part of his property , without his consent in person , or by representation . Otis simultaneously refuted , in The Rights of the British Colonies Asserted and Proved , a contemporary argument that attempted to rationalise virtual representation on the basis of the colonial agents ' alleged influence on British policy . `` As to the colonists being represented by the provincial agents , '' he wrote , I know of no power ever given them but to appear before his Majesty , and his ministry . Sometimes they have been directed to petition the parliament : But they none of them have , and I hope never will have , a power given them , by the colonists , to act as representatives , and to consent to taxes ; and if they should make any concessions to the ministry , especially without order , the provinces could not by that be considered as represented in parliament . Colonists said no man was represented if he were not allowed to vote . Moreover , even `` If every inhabitant of America had the requisite freehold , '' said Daniel Dulany , `` not one could vote , but upon the supposition of his ceasing to become an inhabitant of America , and becoming a resident of Great Britain . '' The colonists and like - minded Britons insisted that representation was achieved only through an assembly of men actually elected by the persons they were intended to represent . The argument between the colonies and Parliament sought to resolve how the British ' commoners ' of the various part of the Empire were represented most constitutionally -- as Daniel Dulaney , an American Loyalist and lawyer , put it `` ( the ) constitutional authority ( of Parliament 's rights to bind American subjects ) depends upon the single question , Whether the Commons of Great - Britain are virtually the representatives of the Commons of America , or not . Pitt and Camden ( edit ) The theory of virtual representation was attacked in Britain by Charles Pratt , 1st Earl Camden , and his ally William Pitt , 1st Earl of Chatham . William Pitt argued in 1766 that the Commons of Britain ought not to tax the ' `` Commons of America '' without gaining consent of their representatives in stating , `` even under former arbitrary reigns , Parliaments were ashamed of taxing a people without their consent , and allowed them representatives . Why did ( Grenville ) confine himself to Chester and Durham ? He might have taken a higher example in Wales -- Wales , that never was taxed by Parliament till it was incorporated . '' He then said , I am no courtier of America . I stand up for this kingdom . I maintain that the Parliament has a right to bind , to restrain America . Our legislative power over the colonies is sovereign and supreme . When it ceases to be sovereign and supreme , I would advise every gentleman to sell his lands , if he can , and embark for that country . When two countries are connected together like England and her colonies , without being incorporated , the one must necessarily govern . The greater must rule the less . But she must so rule it as not to contradict the fundamental principles that are common to both ... let the sovereign authority of this country over the colonies be asserted in as strong terms as can be devised , and be made to extend to every point of legislation whatsoever ; that we may bind their trade , confine their manufactures , and exercise every power whatsoever , except that of taking their money out of their pockets without their consent . '' In his first speeches in Parliament , Lord Camden vigorously attacked the declaratory act which was proposed to mollify the crown on the repeal of the Stamp Tax . After his first affirmation of `` no taxation without representation '' Camden was attacked by British PM Grenville , Chief Justice James Mansfield , Robert Henley , 1st Earl of Northington , and others . He responded : ( T ) he British Parliament have no right to tax the Americans . I shall not consider the Declaratory Bill now lying on your table ; for to what purpose , but loss of time , to consider the particulars of a Bill , the very existence of which is illegal , absolutely illegal , contrary to the fundamental laws of nature , contrary to the fundamental laws of this constitution ? A constitution grounded on the eternal and immutable laws of nature ; a constitution whose foundation and centre is liberty , which sends liberty to every individual who may happen to be within any part of its ample circumference . Nor , my Lords , is the doctrine new , it is as old as the constitution ; it grew up with it ; indeed it is its support ; taxation and representation are inseparably united ; God hath joined them , no British parliament can separate them ; to endeavour to do it , is to stab our very vitals. ... My position is this -- I repeat it -- I will maintain it to my last hour , -- taxation and representation are inseparable ; this position is founded on the laws of nature ; it is more , it is itself an eternal law of nature ; for whatever is a man 's own , is absolutely his own ; no man has a right to take it from him without his consent , either expressed by himself or representative ; whoever attempts to do it , attempts an injury ; whoever does it , commits a robbery ; he throws down and destroys the distinction between liberty and slavery . Taxation and representation are coeval with and essential to the constitution. ... ( T ) here is not a blade of grass growing in the most obscure corner of this kingdom , which is not , which was not ever , represented since the constitution began ; there is not a blade of grass , which when taxed , was not taxed by the consent of the proprietor. ... I can never give my assent to any bill for taxing the American colonies , while they remain unrepresented ; for as to the distinction of a virtual representation , it is so absurd as not to deserve an answer ; I therefore pass it over with contempt . The forefathers of the Americans did not leave their native country , and subject themselves to every danger and distress , to be reduced to a state of slavery : they did not give up their rights ; they looked for protection , and not for chains , from their mother country ; by her they expected to be defended in the possession of their property , and not to be deprived of it : for , should the present power continue , there is nothing which they can call their own ; or , to use the words of Mr. Locke , ' What property have they in that , which another may , by right , take , when he pleases , to himself ? ' '' In an appearance before Parliament in January , 1766 , former Prime Minister William Pitt stated : The idea of a virtual representation of America in this House is the most contemptible that ever entered into the head of a man . It does not deserve a serious refutation . The Commons of America , represented in their several assemblies , have ever been in possession of the exercise of this their constitutional right , of giving and granting their own money . They would have been slaves if they had not enjoyed it . Grenville responded to Pitt , saying the disturbances in America `` border on open rebellion ; and if the doctrine I have heard this day be confirmed , nothing can tend more directly to produce a revolution . '' External and internal taxes are the same , argued Grenville . Modern use in the United States ( edit ) Shimer College student holds `` No tuition without representation '' sign during protest over school governance in 2010 . In the 1860s , suffragette Sarah E. Wall of Worcester , Massachusetts invoked the principle of `` no taxation without representation '' , initiating an anti-tax protest in which she encouraged women not to pay taxes until they were granted the right to vote . Soon after she began this movement , the Worcester city tax collector sued Wall for refusing to pay taxes , and the case reached the Massachusetts Supreme Court in 1863 . In `` Wheeler v. Wall , '' the court ruled against Wall and held that despite not having the right to vote , women are still obligated to meet their tax burden . Even still , Wall refused to cooperate with the collector , and as a result , officers seized and sold her property in order to raise the money necessary to meet her tax obligation . After several years , Wall 's inexorability eventually prevailed , as the collector began to ignore Wall and allow her to abstain from paying taxes . In 1884 , Susan B. Anthony cited Wall 's audacity and willingness to stand up for women 's suffrage , stating , `` for the last twenty - five years , ( she ) has resisted the tax gatherer when he came around . I want you to look at her . She looks very harmless , but she will not pay a dollar of tax . She says when the Commonwealth of Massachusetts will give her the right of representation she will pay her taxes . '' The phrase is also used by other groups in America who pay various types of taxes ( sales , income , property ) but lack the ability to vote , such as felons ( who are , in many states , barred from voting ) , people who work in one state and live in another ( thus having to pay income tax to a state they do n't live in ) , or people under 18 . To become citizens of the United States , immigrants most often must be permanent residents for a period of time ( usually 5 years ) . Permanent residents must pay taxes on their worldwide income and , in most cases , can not vote . However , throughout the 19th century , many states did allow immigrants to vote after they had declared their intention to become citizens . This was primarily because these new states were populated in large part by immigrants who had not yet attained citizenship . Throughout U.S. history , non-citizens have been allowed to vote in 40 U.S. states and territories . As of 2005 , non-citizens are allowed to vote in seven jurisdictions in the United States : Chicago and six towns in Montgomery County , Maryland . In 2009 , the phrase `` taxation without representation '' was also used in the Tea Party protests , where protesters were upset over increased government spending and taxes , and specifically regarding a growing concern amongst the group that the U.S. government is increasingly relying upon a form of taxation without representation through increased regulatory levies and fees which are allegedly passed via unelected government employees who have no direct responsibility to voters and can not be held accountable by the public through elections . A modified version of the phrase , `` no tuition without representation '' , is sometimes used in disputes over governance in higher education in the United States to emphasize student 's rights to a voice in institutional decisions . The term first emerged in a 1977 dispute at Union County College in New Jersey . It has been used more recently in disputes at Dartmouth College , UC Berkeley School of Law , and elsewhere . Washington , D.C. ( edit ) The standard - issue District of Columbia license plate bears the phrase , `` Taxation Without Representation '' . See also : District of Columbia voting rights In the United States , the phrase is used in Washington , D.C. as part of the campaign for a vote in Congress , to publicize the fact that Washington residents pay Federal taxes , but do not have representation in Congress . In November 2000 , the D.C. Department of Motor Vehicles began issuing license plates bearing the slogan `` Taxation without representation '' . In a show of support for the city , President Bill Clinton used the `` Taxation Without Representation '' plates on the presidential limousine ; however , President George W. Bush had the tags replaced to those without the motto shortly after taking office . President Barack Obama announced his intention to use the plates with the motto beginning at his second inauguration . President Donald Trump continued usage of the plates with the protest motto after he was elected , though he has stated he has `` no position '' on the issue of granting D.C. statehood . In 2002 , the Council of the District of Columbia authorized adding the slogan to the D.C. flag , but no new flag design was approved . In 2007 , the District of Columbia and United States Territories Quarters program was created based on the successful 50 State Quarters program . DC submitted designs containing the slogan , but they were rejected by the U.S. Mint . Modern use in the United kingdom ( edit ) British Prime Minister John Major used a modified version of the quote , with the order reversed , in October 1995 , when at the United Nations 's 50th Anniversary celebrations he said , `` It is not sustainable for states to enjoy representation without taxation , '' in order to criticize the billion - dollar arrears of the United States ' payments to the UN , echoing a statement made the previous month at the opening session of the UN General Assembly by UK Foreign Secretary Malcolm Rifkind . Modern use in Canada ( edit ) In Canada , Québec politician Gilles Duceppe , former leader of the Bloc Québécois , has repeatedly cited this phrase in defending the presence of his party in Ottawa . The Bloc is a Québec sovereigntist party solely running candidates in Canadian Federal elections in the province of Québec . Duceppe 's evocation of the phrase implies that the proponents of Quebec 's sovereigntist movement have the right to be represented in the body ( which they are ) , the Canadian Parliament , which levies taxes upon them . He will usually cite the sentence in its original English . Use in Australia ( edit ) The first government of South Australia was by a Legislative Council , whose members were chosen by the Crown and from which office - bearers `` Official Members '' were selected by the Governor . John Stephens and his South Australian Register were among those who campaigned for democratic reform . Partial reform took place in 1851 , when a majority of Members of the South Australian Legislative Council , 1851 -- 1855 were elected .

"Jonathan Mayhew, Old West Church's second Congregational pastor, used the phrase, \"No Taxation Without Representation\" in a sermon in 1750.[1] The phrase revives a sentiment central to the cause of the English Civil War following the refusal of parliamentarian John Hampden to pay ship money tax.[2] \"No Taxation Without Representation,\" in the context of British American Colonial taxation, appeared for the first time in the February 1768 London Magazine headline, on page 89, in the printing of Lord Camden’s \"Speech on the Declaratory Bill of the Sovereignty of Great Britain over the Colonies.\"[3]"

-2986013612477821261 | Letter frequency | Letter frequency - wikipedia Letter frequency Jump to : navigation , search The frequency of letters in text has been studied for use in cryptanalysis , and frequency analysis in particular , dating back to the Iraqi mathematician Al - Kindi ( c. 801 -- 873 AD ) , who formally developed the method ( the ciphers breakable by this technique go back at least to the Caesar cipher invented by Julius Caesar , so this method could have been explored in classical times ) . California Job Case Letter frequency analysis gained additional importance in Europe with the development of movable type in 1450 AD , where one must estimate the amount of type required for each letterform , as evidenced by the variations in letter compartment size in typographer 's type cases . Linguists use letter frequency analysis as a rudimentary technique for language identification , where it 's particularly effective as an indication of whether an unknown writing system is alphabetic , syllablic , or ideographic . For example , the Japanese Hiragana syllabary contains 46 distinct characters , which is more than most phonetic alphabets , e.g. the Hawaiian alphabet which has a mere 13 letters , or English which has 26 . No exact letter frequency distribution underlies a given language , since all writers write slightly differently . However , most languages have a characteristic distribution which is strongly apparent in longer texts . Even language changes as extreme as from old English to modern English ( regarded as mutually unintelligible ) show strong trends in related letter frequencies : over a small sample of Biblical passages , from most frequent to least frequent , enaid sorhm tgþlwu ( æ ) cfy ðbpxz of old English compares to eotha sinrd luymw fgcbp kvjqxz of modern English , with the most extreme differences concerning letterforms not shared . Linotype machines for the English language assumed the letter order , from most to least common , to be etaoin shrdlu cmfwyp vbgkjq xz based on the experience and custom of manual compositors . The equivalent for the French language was elaoin sdrétu cmfhyp vbgwqj xz . Modern International Morse code ( generally believed to have been developed by Alfred Vail based on English - language letter frequencies of the 1830s ) encodes the most frequent letters with the shortest symbols ; arranging the Morse alphabet into groups of letters that require equal amounts of time to transmit , and then sorting these groups in increasing order , yields e it san hurdm wgvlfbk opxcz jyq . Similar ideas are used in modern data - compression techniques such as Huffman coding . Letter frequency was used by other telegraph systems , such as the Murray Code . Contents ( hide ) 1 Introduction 2 Relative frequencies of letters in the English language 3 Relative frequencies of the first letters of a word in the English language 4 Relative frequencies of letters in other languages 5 See also 6 References 7 External links Introduction ( edit ) Letter frequencies , like word frequencies , tend to vary , both by writer and by subject . One can not write an essay about x-rays without using frequent Xs , and the essay will have an idiosyncratic letter frequency if the essay is about the frequent use of x-rays to treat zebras in Qatar . Different authors have habits which can be reflected in their use of letters . Hemingway 's writing style , for example , is visibly different from Faulkner 's . Letter , bigram , trigram , word frequencies , word length , and sentence length can be calculated for specific authors , and used to prove or disprove authorship of texts , even for authors whose styles are not so divergent . Accurate average letter frequencies can only be gleaned by analyzing a large amount of representative text . With the availability of modern computing and collections of large text corpora , such calculations are easily made . Examples can be drawn from a variety of sources ( press reporting , religious texts , scientific texts and general fiction ) and there are differences especially for general fiction with the position of ' h ' and ' i ' , with H becoming more common . Herbert S. Zim , in his classic introductory cryptography text `` Codes and Secret Writing '' , gives the English letter frequency sequence as `` ETAON RISHD LFCMU GYPWB VKJXQ Z '' , the most common letter pairs as `` TH HE AN RE ER IN ON AT ND ST ES EN OF TE ED OR TI HI AS TO '' , and the most common doubled letters as `` LL EE SS OO TT FF RR NN PP CC '' . Also , to note that different dialects of a language will also affect a letter 's frequency . For example , an author in the United States would produce something in which the letter ' z ' is more common than an author in the United Kingdom writing on the same topic : words like `` analyze '' , `` apologize '' , and `` recognize '' contain the letter in American English , whereas the same words are spelled `` analyse '' , `` apologise '' , and `` recognise '' in British English . This would highly affect the frequency of the letter ' z ' as it is a rarely used letter elsewhere in the English language . The `` top twelve '' letters constitute about 80 % of the total usage . The `` top eight '' letters constitute about 65 % of the total usage . Letter frequency as a function of rank can be fitted well by several rank functions , with the two - parameter Cocho / Beta rank function being the best . Another rank function with no adjustable free parameter also fits the letter frequency distribution reasonably well ( the same function has been used to fit the amino acid frequency in protein sequences . ) A spy using the VIC cipher or some other cipher based on a straddling checkerboard typically uses a mnemonic such as `` a sin to err '' ( dropping the second `` r '' ) or `` at one sir '' to remember the top eight characters . The use of letter frequencies and frequency analysis plays a fundamental role in cryptograms and several word puzzle games , including Hangman , Scrabble and the television game show Wheel of Fortune . One of the earliest descriptions in classical literature of applying the knowledge of English letter frequency to solving a cryptogram is found in E.A. Poe 's famous story The Gold - Bug , where the method is successfully applied to decipher a message instructing on the whereabouts of a treasure hidden by Captain Kidd . Letter frequencies had a strong effect on the design of some keyboard layouts . The most frequent letters are on the bottom row of the Blickensderfer typewriter , and the home row of the Dvorak Simplified Keyboard . Relative frequencies of letters in the English language ( edit ) There are three ways to count letter frequency that result in very different charts for common letters . The first method , used in the chart below , is to count letter frequency in root words of a dictionary . The second is to include all word variants when counting , such as `` abstracts '' , `` abstracted '' and `` abstracting '' and not just the root word of `` abstract '' . This system results in letters like `` s '' appearing much more frequently , such as when counting letters from lists of the most used English words on the Internet . A final variant is to count letters based on their frequency of use in actual texts , resulting in certain letter combinations like `` th '' becoming more common due to the frequent use of common words like `` the '' . Absolute usage frequency measures like this are used when creating keyboard layouts or letter frequencies in old fashioned printing presses . Relative frequencies of letters in text . Relative frequencies ordered by frequency . An analysis of entries in the Concise Oxford dictionary , ignoring frequency of word use , gives an order of `` EARIOTNSLCUDPMHGBFYWKVXZJQ '' . The letter - frequency table below is taken from Pavel Mička 's website , which cites Robert Lewand 's Cryptological Mathematics . Letter Relative frequency in the English language 8.167 % 8.167 1.492 % 1.492 2.782 % 2.782 d 4.253 % 4.253 12.702 % 12.702 f 2.228 % 2.228 g 2.015 % 2.015 h 6.094 % 6.094 i 6.966 % 6.966 j 0.153 % 0.153 k 0.772 % 0.772 l 4.025 % 4.025 m 2.406 % 2.406 n 6.749 % 6.749 o 7.507 % 7.507 p 1.929 % 1.929 q 0.095 % 0.095 r 5.987 % 5.987 s 6.327 % 6.327 9.056 % 9.056 u 2.758 % 2.758 0.978 % 0.978 w 2.360 % 2.36 x 0.150 % 0.15 y 1.974 % 1.974 z 0.074 % 0.074 According to Lewand , arranged from most to least common in appearance , the letters are : etaoinshrdlcumwfgypbvkjxqz Lewand 's ordering differs slightly from others , such as Cornell University Math Explorer 's Project , which produced a table after measuring 40,000 words . In English , the space is slightly more frequent than the top letter ( e ) and the non-alphabetic characters ( digits , punctuation , etc . ) collectively occupy the fourth position ( having already included the space ) between t and a . Relative frequencies of the first letters of a word in the English language ( edit ) The frequency of the first letters of words or names is helpful in pre-assigning space in physical files and indexes . Given 26 filing cabinet drawers , rather than a 1 : 1 assignment of one drawer to one letter of the alphabet , it is often useful to use a more equal - frequency - letter code by assigning several low - frequency letters to the same drawer ( often one drawer is labeled VWXYZ ) , and to split up the most - frequent initial letters -- S , A , and C - into several drawers ( often 6 drawers Aa - An , Ao - Az , Ca - Cj , Ck - Cz , Sa - Si , Sj - Sz ) . The same system is used in some multi-volume works such as some encyclopedias . Cutter numbers , another mapping of names to a more equal - frequency code , are used in some libraries . Both the overall letter distribution and the word - initial letter distribution approximately match the Zipf distribution and even more closely match the Yule distribution . Often the frequency distribution of the first digit in each datum is significantly different from the overall frequency of all the digits in a set of numeric data -- see Benford 's law for details . An analysis by Peter Norvig on Google Books data determined , among other things , the frequency of first letters of English words : Letter Relative frequency as the first letter of an English word 11.682 % 11.682 4.434 % 4.434 5.238 % 5.238 d 3.174 % 3.174 2.799 % 2.799 f 4.027 % 4.027 g 1.642 % 1.642 h 4.200 % 4.2 i 7.294 % 7.294 j 0.511 % 0.511 k 0.456 % 0.456 l 2.415 % 2.415 m 3.826 % 3.826 n 2.284 % 2.284 o 7.631 % 7.631 p 4.319 % 4.319 q 0.222 % 0.222 r 2.826 % 2.826 s 6.686 % 6.686 15.978 % 15.978 u 1.183 % 1.183 0.824 % 0.824 w 5.497 % 5.497 x 0.045 % 0.045 y 0.763 % 0.763 z 0.045 % 0.045 Relative frequencies of letters in other languages ( edit ) This article possibly contains inappropriate or misinterpreted citations that do not verify the text .

2157679727891021113 | Mayors in England | Mayors in England - wikipedia Mayors in England In England , the offices of mayor and lord mayor have long been ceremonial posts , with few or no duties attached to them . In recent years they have doubled as more influential political roles while retaining the ceremonial functions . A mayor 's term of office denotes the municipal year . The most famous example is that of the Lord Mayor of the City of London . Traditionally mayors and provosts have been elected by town , borough and city councils . Since 2000 , several districts now have directly elected mayors with extensive powers . See borough status in the United Kingdom for a list of English districts to have a borough charter ( and therefore a mayor ) . The role of the chairman of a district council is exactly the same as the mayor of a borough council , and they have the same status as first citizen , after the Sovereign , in their district , but they are not addressed as mayor . Contents ( hide ) 1 Election 1.1 Direct election 2 Lord Mayors 3 Honorifics 4 See also 5 References 6 External links Election ( edit ) In England , where a borough or a city is a local government district or a civil parish , the mayor is elected annually by the council from their number and chairs meetings of the council with a casting vote . Where the mayoralty used to be associated with a local government district but that district has been abolished , Charter Trustees may be set up to provide continuity until a parish council may be set up . Where a parish council ( whether the successor of a former borough or not ) has resolved to style itself a Town Council , then its chairman is entitled to the designation Town Mayor , though in practice , the word Town is often dropped . Direct election ( edit ) In 2000 the Labour government led by Tony Blair passed a local government reform which changed this system somewhat . Several districts in England now have directly elected mayors with real powers and an advisory cabinet to assist them . Also since 2000 , the area of Greater London has had a Greater London Authority headed by the Mayor of London . This is a separate post to the historic and honorific Lord Mayor of London and may be characterised as a strategic , regional , role rather than as anything analogous to previous local government in England . Lord Mayors ( edit ) Main article : List of lord mayoralties and lord provostships in the United Kingdom The right to appoint a Lord Mayor is a rare honour , even less frequently bestowed than city status . Currently , 23 cities in England have Lord Mayors : Birmingham , Bradford , Bristol , Canterbury , Chester , Coventry , Exeter , Kingston upon Hull , Leeds , Leicester , Liverpool , London , Manchester , Newcastle upon Tyne , Norwich , Nottingham , Oxford , Plymouth , Portsmouth , Sheffield , Stoke - on - Trent , the City of Westminster and York . Honorifics ( edit ) The Lord Mayors of London and York are styled The Right Honourable , Bristol also uses the honorific although without official sanction . All other Lord Mayors , as well as the Mayors of cities and the original Cinque Ports ( Sandwich , Hythe , Dover , Romney and Hastings , are styled The Right Worshipful . All other Mayors are styled The Worshipful , though this is in practice seldom used for a Town Mayor . These honorific styles are used only before the Mayoral title and not before the name , and are not retained after the term of office . A mayor usually appoints a consort , usually a spouse , other family member or fellow councillor . The designated female consort of a mayor is called the mayoress and accompanies the mayor to civic functions . A female mayor is also called mayor , not , as sometime erroneously called , `` Lady Mayoress '' . A mayoress or Lady Mayoress is a female consort of a mayor or Lord Mayor ; a male consort of a mayor or Lord Mayor is a Mayor 's Consort or Lord Mayor 's Consort . ^ 1 The Lord Mayor of Bristol uses the prefix without official sanction .

The Commission carries out its functions through the Secretariat , further divided in divisions . Details and work of each division is mentions above in the ' Secretariat ' section of this article .

Appointment of Department officers on promotion , deputation and through absorption . Framing and amendment of Recruitment Rules for various services and posts under the Government . Disciplinary cases relating to different Civil Services . On any matter referred to the UPSC , they can directly Advice the Government by the President of India . Recruitment ( edit ) UPSC is India 's central recruiting agency . It is mandated by the Constitution of India for recruitment to Central and All India Services of the Republic of India . It carries out this task through 4 modes : Direct Recruitment Promotion Deputation / absorption Composite Method ( Deputation + Promotion ) Direct recruitment ( edit ) Conducted broadly by following two methods - Competitive Examination Selection Candidates can apply for these exams and interviews through a separate portal which is the only means ( offline ) for applying to these posts . Competitive examinations ( edit ) The Commission conducts examinations on biannual / annual / biennial basis throughout India for appointment to various Civil / Defence services / posts . The notifications for these examinations are published in the Gazette of India and Employment News / Rozgar Samachar . A shorter version of notification is also published in major Indian newspapers including regional language newspapers . Copies of the notifications are also sent to all Employment Exchanges and Universities , etc . UPSC conducts following examinations : Civil Services Examination ( CSE ) Engineering Services Examination ( ESE ) Combined Medical Services Examination ( CMSE ) Combined Defence Services Examination ( CDSE ) National Defence Academy Examination ( NDA ) Naval Academy Examination Special Class Railway Apprentice ( SCRA ) Indian Forest Service Examination Indian Economic Service Examination Indian Statistical Service Examination Combined Geo - scientist and Geologist Examination Central Armed Police Forces ( Assistant Commandant ) Examination ( CAPF ) Section Officers / Stenographers ( Grade - B / Grade - I ) Departmental Competitive Examination The examinations conducted for Civil Services have a success rate of 0.1 % -- 0.3 % . Selection ( edit ) The Commission has the responsibility of direct recruitment at various levels by the method of `` selection '' to Group `` A '' Posts and selected Group `` B '' Posts in the Central Government . Vacancies are advertised in Employment News , and other major newspapers of India . Applicants are then short - listed through computerized ' Preliminary Scrutiny ' software via a rational criteria . Higher qualifications and experience than that is prescribed in the notification may be the criteria . The short - listed candidates are then called for an interview . In case of a large number of candidates apply for a post or if it is not quite possible to short - list candidates on the basis of qualifications and / or experience , a ' Recruitment Test ' may be conducted to shortlist the candidates . These candidates are subjected to ' Interview Boards ' which are presided over by Members of the Commission , assisted by eminent experts drawn from fields for which recruitment is being done . Finally , the Commission approves the Interview - Board 's Report and recommendation is sent to the concerned Ministry / Department that had sought candidates for the concerned post ( s ) . Promotion ( edit ) The Chairman or a Member of the Commission presides over the Departmental Promotion Committee Meetings for carrying out following promotions : From Group `` B '' to Group `` A '' From one grade to another within Group `` A '' , where promotion is to be made by Selection . The Commission also performs promotions from State Civil / Police / Forest Services to All India Services through a `` Selection Committee '' presided over by the Chairman or a Member of the Commission in terms of the respective `` IAS / IPS / IFS / Promotion Regulations '' and selection of Non-State Civil Service Officers for appointment to the IAS under `` IAS ( Appointment by Selection ) Regulations , 1997 '' . Deputation / absorption ( edit ) The Recruitment Rules for a number of posts provide for appointment by Deputation ( including short term contract ) and Absorption . If the post under consideration consists of Central and State Government officers , prior consultation with the Commission is required for selection of the officer . If the post under consideration consists of not only Central / State Government officers , but also include officers from non-Government Institutions , the selection shall be made in consultation with the Union Public Service Commission only . Museum ( edit ) In November 2016 , UPSC opened a museum for showcasing its possession of archival material including original pamphlets , documents , reports and various other records . The 1st section displays various artifacts related to early administration in ancient and medieval India , and phases of growth of administration in modern India . It also provides information regarding civil services in China , USA , France , Japan and Bhutan . The 2nd section displays artifacts related to UPSC itself and the various examinations it had conducted . The 3rd section displays various reports of various committees appointed for suggesting improvements to quality of UPSC and Civil Services in India . The museum is located in the premises of UPSC Dholpur House and is open 10 am - 2 pm ( Monday to Saturday ) . Entry is free and photography is allowed inside it . Limitations ( edit ) Although the commission is granted its charter by Constitution itself , its scope is limited in following matters : It can not be consulted while making reservations of appointments to services or posts in favour of backward classes ( SC - ST and others ) . It shall not be consulted for selection for chairmanships or memberships of commissions or tribunals , and posts of highest diplomatic nature . Almost all of group C and group D central services are fulfilled by the Staff Selection Commission , and not UPSC . It is not consulted in the case of temporary selection or officiating appointment to a post if the person appointed is not likely to hold the post for more than one year . As per Art 320 , the president can also regulate or limit jurisdiction of UPSC w.r.t. any post , service or other matter relating to Central and All India Services . But all such regulations by the president shall be presented before Parliament within 14 days , and the parliament may amend or repeal them . The Supreme Court has too held that if the government fails to consult UPSC in the matters ascribed under Art 320 , does not invalidate the decision of the government . Thus rendering this provision of constitution as only advisory and not binding . Nonetheless , the government still remains answerable to parliament for deviating from the advice of the commission ; thereby checking indiscriminate use of this provision by the government . With the formation of Department of Personnel and Training , UPSC is no longer concerned with the classification of services , pay and service conditions , cadre management , training etc. , limiting its role to that of a recruiting agency . The formation of Central Vigilance Commission in 1964 also affected role of UPSC in disciplinary matters . Criticism ( edit ) Transparency and Public oversight ( edit ) UPSC , along with other State Public Service Commissions , has came under public criticism for lack of transparency and accountability in its recruitment procedures . UPSC never discloses answer sheets and marking scheme for the examinations and interviews conducted by it . Gender issue in application form ( edit ) While the notification of UPSC claims `` Government strives to have a workforce which reflects gender balance and women candidates are encouraged to apply '' , the application form available online does n't have the option for `` others '' under the category of sex . This was highlighted through an RTI appeal filed by a Madurai - based 23 - year - transgender , S. Swapna . Transgender S. Swapna and the gender activist Gopi Shankar Madurai staged the protest in Madurai collectorate on 7 October 2013 demanding reservation and to permit alternate genders to appear for examinations conducted by TNPSC , UPSC , SSC and Bank Exams . Later , Swapna successfully moved the Madras High Court in 2013 seeking permission to write the TNPSC Group II exam as a woman candidate .

In the ocean , the thermocline divides the upper mixed layer from the calm deep water below . Depending largely on season , latitude and turbulent mixing by wind , thermoclines may be a semi-permanent feature of the body of water in which they occur or they may form temporarily in response to phenomena such as the radiative heating / cooling of surface water during the day / night . Factors that affect the depth and thickness of a thermocline include seasonal weather variations , latitude and local environmental conditions , such as tides and currents . Contents ( hide ) 1 Oceans 2 Other water bodies 3 Atmosphere 4 See also 5 References 6 External links Oceans ( edit ) For the use of ocean thermoclines to generate energy , see Ocean thermal energy conversion . Graph showing a tropical ocean thermocline ( depth vs. temperature ) . Note the rapid change between 100 and 1000 meters . The temperature is nearly constant after 1500 meters depth . Graph of different thermoclines ( depth vs. temperature ) based on seasons and latitude Most of the heat energy of sunlight is absorbed in the first few centimeters at the ocean 's surface , which heats during the day and cools at night as heat energy is lost to space by radiation . Waves mix the water near the surface layer and distribute heat to deeper water such that the temperature may be relatively uniform in the upper 100 m ( 300 ft ) , depending on wave strength and the existence of surface turbulence caused by currents . Below this mixed layer , the temperature remains relatively stable over day / night cycles . The temperature of the deep ocean drops gradually with depth . As saline water does not freeze until it reaches − 2.3 ° C ( colder as depth and pressure increase ) the temperature well below the surface is usually not far from zero degrees . The thermocline varies in depth . It is semi-permanent in the tropics , variable in temperate regions ( often deepest during the summer ) and shallow to nonexistent in the polar regions , where the water column is cold from the surface to the bottom . A layer of sea ice will act as an insulation blanket . In the open ocean , the thermocline is characterized by a negative sound speed gradient , making the thermocline important in submarine warfare because it can reflect active sonar and other acoustic signals . This stems from a discontinuity in the acoustic impedance of water created by the sudden change in density . When scuba diving , a thermocline where water drops in temperature by a few degrees Celsius quite suddenly can sometimes be observed between two bodies of water , for example where colder upwelling water runs into a surface layer of warmer water . It gives the water an appearance of wrinkled glass that is often used to obscure bathroom windows and is caused by the altered refractive index of the cold or warm water column . These same schlieren can be observed when hot air rises off the tarmac at airports or desert roads and is the cause of mirages . Other water bodies ( edit ) Thermoclines can also be observed in lakes . In colder climates , this leads to a phenomenon called stratification . During the summer , warm water , which is less dense , will sit on top of colder , denser , deeper water with a thermocline separating them . The warm layer is called the epilimnion and the cold layer is called the hypolimnion . Because the warm water is exposed to the sun during the day , a stable system exists and very little mixing of warm water and cold water occurs , particularly in calm weather . One result of this stability is that as the summer wears on , there is less and less oxygen below the thermocline as the water below the thermocline never circulates to the surface and organisms in the water deplete the available oxygen . As winter approaches , the temperature of the surface water will drop as nighttime cooling dominates heat transfer . A point is reached where the density of the cooling surface water becomes greater than the density of the deep water and overturning begins as the dense surface water moves down under the influence of gravity . This process is aided by wind or any other process ( currents for example ) that agitates the water . This effect also occurs in Arctic and Antarctic waters , bringing water to the surface which , although low in oxygen , is higher in nutrients than the original surface water . This enriching of surface nutrients may produce blooms of phytoplankton , making these areas productive . As the temperature continues to drop , the water on the surface may get cold enough to freeze and the lake / ocean begins to ice over . A new thermocline develops where the densest water ( 4 ° C ) sinks to the bottom , and the less dense water ( water that is approaching the freezing point ) rises to the top . Once this new stratification establishes itself , it lasts until the water warms enough for the ' spring turnover , ' which occurs after the ice melts and the surface water temperature rises to 4 ° C. During this transition , a thermal bar may develop . Waves can occur on the thermocline , causing the depth of the thermocline as measured at a single location to oscillate ( usually as a form of seiche ) . Alternately , the waves may be induced by flow over a raised bottom , producing a thermocline wave which does not change with time , but varies in depth as one moves into or against the flow . Atmosphere ( edit ) The lower atmosphere also typically contains a boundary between two distinct regions ( the troposphere and stratosphere ) , but that boundary ( the tropopause ) displays quite different behavior . However , atmospheric thermoclines , or inversions , can occur , e.g. as nighttime cooling of the Earth 's surface produces cold , dense , often calm air adjacent to the ground . The coldest air is next to the ground , with air temperature increasing with height . At the top of this nighttime boundary layer ( which may be only a hundred meters ) the normal adiabatic temperature profile of the troposphere ( i.e. temperature decreasing with altitude ) is again observed . The thermocline or inversion layer occurs where the temperature profile changes from positive to negative with increasing height . The stability of the night time inversion is usually destroyed soon after sunrise as the sun 's energy warms the ground , which warms the air in the inversion layer . The warmer , less dense air then rises , destroying the stability that characterizes the nightly inversion . This phenomenon was first applied to the field of noise pollution study in the 1960s , contributing to the design of urban highways and noise barriers .

Founded in 1880 as St. Mark 's ( West Gorton ) , they became Ardwick Association Football Club in 1887 and Manchester City in 1894 . The club moved to the City of Manchester Stadium in 2003 , having played at Maine Road since 1923 . The club 's most successful period was in the late 1960s and early 1970s , when they won the League Championship , FA Cup , League Cup and European Cup Winners ' Cup under the management team of Joe Mercer and Malcolm Allison . After losing the 1981 FA Cup Final , the club went through a period of decline , culminating in relegation to the third tier of English football for the only time in their history in 1998 . Having regained their Premier League status in the early 2000s , the club was purchased in 2008 by Abu Dhabi United Group and has since become one of the wealthiest in the world . Since 2011 , the club have won five major honours , including the Premier League in 2012 and 2014 . By 2015 -- 16 , Manchester City had the fifth - highest revenue in the footballing world with an annual revenue of € 524.9 million . In 2017 , Forbes magazine estimated they were the world 's fifth-most valuable football club , worth US $ 2.08 billion .

St. Marks ( Gorton ) in 1884 -- the reason for the cross pattée on the shirts is now unknown City gained their first honours by winning the Second Division in 1899 ; with it came promotion to the highest level in English football , the First Division . They went on to claim their first major honour on 23 April 1904 , beating Bolton Wanderers 1 -- 0 at Crystal Palace to win the FA Cup ; City narrowly missed out on a League and Cup double that season after finishing runners - up in the League but City became the first club in Manchester to win a major honour . In the seasons following the FA Cup triumph , the club was dogged by allegations of financial irregularities , culminating in the suspension of seventeen players in 1906 , including captain Billy Meredith , who subsequently moved across town to Manchester United . A fire at Hyde Road destroyed the main stand in 1920 , and in 1923 the club moved to their new purpose - built stadium at Maine Road in Moss Side . The Manchester City team which won the FA Cup in 1904 In the 1930s , Manchester City reached two consecutive FA Cup finals , losing to Everton in 1933 , before claiming the Cup by beating Portsmouth in 1934 . During the 1934 cup run , Manchester City broke the record for the highest home attendance of any club in English football history , as 84,569 fans packed Maine Road for a sixth round FA Cup tie against Stoke City in 1934 -- a record which still stands to this day . The club won the First Division title for the first time in 1937 , but were relegated the following season , despite scoring more goals than any other team in the division . Twenty years later , a City team inspired by a tactical system known as the Revie Plan reached consecutive FA Cup finals again , in 1955 and 1956 ; just as in the 1930s , they lost the first one , to Newcastle United , and won the second . The 1956 final , in which Manchester City beat Birmingham City 3 -- 1 , is one of the most famous finals of all - time , and is remembered for City goalkeeper Bert Trautmann continuing to play on after unknowingly breaking his neck . After relegation to the Second Division in 1963 , the future looked bleak with a record low home attendance of 8,015 against Swindon Town in January 1965 . In the summer of 1965 , the management team of Joe Mercer and Malcolm Allison was appointed . In the first season under Mercer , City won the Second Division title and made important signings in Mike Summerbee and Colin Bell . Two seasons later , in 1967 -- 68 , Manchester City claimed the League Championship for the second time , clinching the title on the final day of the season with a 4 -- 3 win at Newcastle United and beating their close neighbours Manchester United into second place . Further trophies followed : City won the FA Cup in 1969 , before achieving European success by winning the European Cup Winners ' Cup in 1970 , beating Górnik Zabrze 2 -- 1 in Vienna . City also won the League Cup that season , becoming the second English team to win a European trophy and a domestic trophy in the same season . The club continued to challenge for honours throughout the 1970s , finishing one point behind the league champions on two occasions and reaching the final of the 1974 League Cup . One of the matches from this period that is most fondly remembered by supporters of Manchester City is the final match of the 1973 -- 74 season against arch - rivals Manchester United , who needed to win to have any hope of avoiding relegation . Former United player Denis Law scored with a backheel to give City a 1 -- 0 win at Old Trafford and confirm the relegation of their rivals . The final trophy of the club 's most successful period was won in 1976 , when Newcastle United were beaten 2 -- 1 in the League Cup final . Chart of yearly table positions of City in the Football League . A long period of decline followed the success of the 1960s and 1970s . Malcolm Allison rejoined the club to become manager for the second time in 1979 , but squandered large sums of money on unsuccessful signings , such as Steve Daley . A succession of managers then followed -- seven in the 1980s alone . Under John Bond , City reached the 1981 FA Cup final but lost in a replay to Tottenham Hotspur . The club were twice relegated from the top flight in the 1980s ( in 1983 and 1987 ) , but returned to the top flight again in 1989 and finished fifth in 1991 and 1992 under the management of Peter Reid . However , this was only a temporary respite , and following Reid 's departure Manchester City 's fortunes continued to fade . City were co-founders of the Premier League upon its creation in 1992 , but after finishing ninth in its first season they endured three seasons of struggle before being relegated in 1996 . After two seasons in Division One , City fell to the lowest point in their history , becoming the second ever European trophy winners to be relegated to their country 's third league tier , after 1 . FC Magdeburg of Germany . After relegation , the club underwent off - the - field upheaval , with new chairman David Bernstein introducing greater fiscal discipline . Under manager Joe Royle , City were promoted at the first attempt , achieved in dramatic fashion in a play - off against Gillingham . A second successive promotion saw City return to the top division , but this proved to have been a step too far for the recovering club , and in 2001 City were relegated once more . Kevin Keegan replaced Royle as manager in the close season , and achieved an immediate return to the top division as the club won the 2001 -- 02 Division One championship , breaking club records for the number of points gained and goals scored in a season in the process . The 2002 -- 03 season was the last at Maine Road , and included a 3 -- 1 derby victory over rivals Manchester United , ending a run of 13 years without a derby win . City also qualified for European competition for the first time in 25 years . In the 2003 close season , the club moved to the new City of Manchester Stadium . The first four seasons at the stadium all resulted in mid-table finishes . Former England manager Sven - Göran Eriksson became the club 's first manager from overseas when appointed in 2007 . After a bright start , performances faded in the second half of the season , and Eriksson was sacked in June 2008 . Eriksson was replaced by Mark Hughes two days later on 4 June 2008 . By 2008 , the club was in a financially precarious position . Thaksin Shinawatra had taken control of the club a year before , but his political travails saw his assets frozen . Then , in August 2008 , the club was purchased by the Abu Dhabi United Group . The takeover was immediately followed by a flurry of bids for high - profile players ; the club broke the British transfer record by signing Brazilian international Robinho from Real Madrid for £ 32.5 million . Performances were not a huge improvement on the previous season despite the influx of money however , with the team finishing tenth , although they did well to reach the quarter - finals of the UEFA Cup . During the summer of 2009 , the club took transfer spending to an unprecedented level , with an outlay of over £ 100 million on players Gareth Barry , Roque Santa Cruz , Kolo Touré , Emmanuel Adebayor , Carlos Tevez and Joleon Lescott . In December 2009 , Mark Hughes -- who had been hired shortly before the change in ownership but was originally retained by the new board -- was replaced as manager by Roberto Mancini . City finished the season in fifth position in the Premier League , narrowly missing out on a place in the Champions League , and competed in the UEFA Europa League in season 2010 -- 11 . Manchester City against Bayern Munich in the UEFA Champions League in 2011 Continued investment in players followed in successive seasons , and results began to match the upturn in player quality . City reached the 2011 FA Cup Final , their first major final in over 30 years , after defeating derby rivals Manchester United in the semi-final , the first time they had knocked their rival out of a cup competition since 1975 . They defeated Stoke City 1 -- 0 in the final , securing their fifth FA Cup , the club 's first major trophy since winning the 1976 League Cup . In the same week , the club qualified for the UEFA Champions League for the first time since 1968 with a 1 -- 0 Premier League win over Tottenham Hotspur . On the last day of the 2010 -- 11 season , City passed Arsenal for third place in the Premier League , thereby securing qualification directly into the Champions League group stage . Manchester City supporters invade the pitch following their 2011 -- 12 Premier League title win . Strong performances continued to follow in the 2011 -- 12 season , with the club beginning the following season in commanding form , including beating Tottenham 5 -- 1 at White Hart Lane and humbling Manchester United by a 6 -- 1 scoreline in United 's own stadium . Although the strong form waned halfway through the season , and City at one point fell eight points behind their arch rivals with only six games left to play , a slump by United allowed the blue side of Manchester to draw back level with two games to go , setting up a thrilling finale to the season with both teams going into the last day equal on points . Despite City only needing a home win against a team in the relegation zone , they fell a goal behind by the end of normal time , leading some of United 's players to finish their game celebrating in the belief that they had won the league . Two goals in injury time -- including one scored almost five minutes after normal time had elapsed -- resulted in an almost - literal last - minute title victory , City 's first in 44 years , and became only the fifth team to win the Premier League since its creation in 1992 . In the aftermath that followed , the event was described by media sources from the UK and around the world as the greatest moment in Premier League history . The game was also notable for former player Joey Barton 's sending off , where he committed three separate red card - able incidents on three different players in the space of only a couple of seconds , resulting in a 12 - match ban . Manchester City in 2013 The following season City failed to capitalise on the gains made in the first two full seasons of Mancini 's reign . While City rarely seemed likely to drop below second in the table , they posed little title challenge all season . In the Champions League , the club was eliminated at the group stage for a second successive season , while a second FA Cup final in three seasons ended in a 1 -- 0 defeat to relegated Wigan Athletic . Mancini was dismissed two days later , ostensibly as he had failed to reach his targets for the season , but BBC Sports Editor David Bond reported he had been sacked for his poor communication and relationships with players and executives . In his place was appointed the Chilean Manuel Pellegrini . In Pellegrini 's first season , City won the League Cup and regained the Premier League title on the last day of the season . 1892 -- 1899 Division 2 ( L2 ) 1899 -- 1902 Division 1 ( L1 ) 1902 -- 1903 Division 2 ( L2 ) 1903 -- 1909 Division 1 ( L1 ) 1909 -- 1910 Division 2 ( L2 ) 1910 -- 1926 Division 1 ( L1 ) 1926 -- 1928 Division 2 ( L2 ) 1928 -- 1938 Division 1 ( L1 ) 1938 -- 1947 Division 2 ( L2 ) 1947 -- 1950 Division 1 ( L1 ) 1950 -- 1951 Division 2 ( L2 ) 1951 -- 1963 Division 1 ( L1 ) 1963 -- 1966 Division 2 ( L2 ) 1966 -- 1983 Division 1 ( L1 ) 1983 -- 1985 Division 2 ( L2 ) 1985 -- 1987 Division 1 ( L1 ) 1987 -- 1989 Division 2 ( L2 ) 1989 -- 1992 Division 1 ( L1 ) 1992 -- 1996 Premier League ( L1 ) 1996 -- 1998 Division 1 ( L2 ) 1998 -- 1999 Division 2 ( L3 ) 1999 -- 2000 Division 1 ( L2 ) 2000 -- 2001 Premier League ( L1 ) 2001 -- 2002 Division 1 ( L2 ) 2002 -- Premier League ( L1 ) L1 = Level 1 of the football league system ; L2 = Level 2 of the football league system ; L3 = Level 3 of the football league system . Club badge and colours Manchester City 's home colours are sky blue and white . Traditional away kit colours have been either maroon or ( from the 1960s ) red and black ; however , in recent years several different colours have been used . The origins of the club 's home colours are unclear , but there is evidence that the club has worn blue since 1892 or earlier . A booklet entitled Famous Football Clubs -- Manchester City published in the 1940s indicates that West Gorton ( St. Marks ) originally played in scarlet and black , and reports dating from 1884 describe the team wearing black jerseys bearing a white cross , showing the club 's origins as a church side . The red and black away colours used infrequently yet recurrently come from former assistant manager Malcolm Allison , who believed that adopting the colours of A.C. Milan would inspire City to glory . Allison 's theory worked , with City winning the 1969 FA Cup Final , 1970 League Cup Final and the 1970 European Cup Winners ' Cup Final in red and black stripes as opposed to the club 's home kit of sky blue . City have previously worn three other badges on their shirts , prior to their current badge which was implemented in 2016 . The first , introduced in 1970 , was based on designs which had been used on official club documentation since the mid-1960s . It consisted of a circular badge which used the same shield as the current badge , inside a circle bearing the name of the club . In 1972 , this was replaced by a variation which replaced the lower half of the shield with the red rose of Lancashire . On occasions when Manchester City plays in a major cup final , the usual badge has not been used ; instead shirts bearing a badge of the arms of the City of Manchester are used , as a symbol of pride in representing the city of Manchester at a major event . This practice originates from a time when the players ' shirts did not normally bear a badge of any kind , but has continued throughout the history of the club . For the 2011 FA Cup Final , City used the usual badge with a special legend , but the Manchester coat of arms was included as a small monochrome logo in the numbers on the back of players ' shirts . A new club badge was adopted in 1997 , as a result of the previous badge being ineligible for registration as a trademark . This badge was based on the arms of the city of Manchester , and consisted of a shield in front of a golden eagle . The eagle is an old heraldic symbol of the city of Manchester ; a golden eagle was added to the city 's badge in 1958 ( but has since been removed ) , representing the growing aviation industry . The shield features a ship on its upper half representing the Manchester Ship Canal , and three diagonal stripes in the lower half symbolise the city 's three rivers -- the Irwell , the Irk and the Medlock . The bottom of the badge bears the motto `` Superbia in Proelio '' , which translates as `` Pride in Battle '' in Latin . Above the eagle and shield are three stars , which are purely decorative . On 15 October 2015 , following years of criticism from the fans over the design of the 1997 badge , the club announced they intended to carry out a fan consultation on whether to disregard the club badge and institute a new design . After the consultation , the club announced in late November 2015 the current club badge would be replaced in due course by a new version which would be designed in the style of the older , circular variants . A design purporting to be the new badge was unintentionally leaked two days early prior to the official unveiling on 26 December 2015 by the IPO when the design was trademarked on 22 December . The new design was officially unveiled at the club 's home match on 26 December against Sunderland . Kit manufacturers and shirt sponsors Manchester City 's shirts have been sponsored by Etihad Airways since 2009 . Previous sponsors have been Saab ( 1982 -- 84 ) , Philips ( 1984 -- 87 ) , Brother ( 1987 -- 99 ) , Eidos ( 1999 -- 2002 ) , First Advice ( 2002 -- 04 ) , and Thomas Cook ( 2004 -- 07 ) . Their kits have been manufactured by Nike since 2013 . Prior manufacturers have been Umbro ( 1974 -- 97 , 2009 -- 13 ) , Kappa ( 1997 -- 99 ) , Le Coq Sportif ( 1999 -- 2003 , 2007 -- 09 ) , and Reebok ( 2003 -- 07 ) . Players As of 28 August 2017 .

Since moving to the City of Manchester Stadium , Manchester City 's average attendances have been in the top six in England , usually in excess of 40,000 . Even in the late 1990s , when the club were relegated twice in three seasons and playing in the third tier of English football ( then Division Two , now Football League One ) , home attendances were in the region of 30,000 , compared to an average for the division of fewer than 8,000 . Research carried out by Manchester City in 2005 estimates a fanbase of 886,000 in the United Kingdom and a total in excess of 2 million worldwide , although since the purchase of the club by Sheikh Mansour and the club 's recent trophies , that figure has ballooned to many times that size . Manchester City 's officially recognised supporters club is the Manchester City FC Supporters Club ( 1949 ) , formed from a merger of two existing organisations in 2010 : the Official Supporters Club ( OSC ) and the Centenary Supporters Association ( CSA ) . There have been several fanzines published by supporters ; the longest running is King of the Kippax and it is the only one still published . The City fans ' song of choice is a rendition of `` Blue Moon '' , which despite its melancholic theme is belted out with gusto as though it were a heroic anthem . City supporters tend to believe that unpredictability is an inherent trait of their team , and label unexpected results `` typical City '' . Events that fans regard as `` typical City '' include City 's being the only reigning English champions ever to be relegated ( in 1938 ) , the only team to score and concede over 100 goals in the same season ( 1957 -- 58 ) , or the more recent example that City were the only team to beat Chelsea in the 2004 -- 05 Premier League , yet in the same season City were knocked out of the FA Cup by Oldham Athletic , a team two divisions lower . Manchester City 's biggest rivalry is with neighbours Manchester United , against whom they contest the Manchester derby . Before the Second World War , when travel to away games was rare , many Mancunian football fans regularly watched both teams even if considering themselves `` supporters '' of only one . This practice continued into the early 1960s but as travel became easier , and the cost of entry to matches rose , watching both teams became unusual and the rivalry intensified . A common stereotype is that City fans come from Manchester proper , while United fans come from elsewhere . A 2002 report by a researcher at Manchester Metropolitan University found that while it was true that a higher proportion of City season ticket holders came from Manchester postcode areas ( 40 % compared to United 's 29 % ) , there were more United season ticket holders , the lower percentage being due to United 's higher overall number of season ticket holders ( 27,667 compared to City 's 16,481 ) ; not highlighted in the report was that within the City of Manchester itself , there were more City season ticket holders ( approximately 4 for every 3 United ) . The report noted that since the compiling of data in 2001 , the number of both City and United season ticket holders had risen ; expansion of United 's ground and City 's move to the City of Manchester Stadium have caused season ticket sales to increase further . Man City also has a rivalry with that of Everton F.C. In the late 1980s , City fans started a craze of bringing inflatable objects to matches , primarily oversized bananas . One disputed explanation for the craze is that in a match against West Bromwich Albion chants from fans calling for the introduction of Imre Varadi as a substitute mutated into `` Imre Banana '' . Terraces packed with inflatable - waving supporters became a frequent sight in the 1988 -- 89 season as the craze spread to other clubs ( inflatable fish were seen at Grimsby Town ) , with the phenomenon reaching a peak at City 's match at Stoke City on 26 December 1988 , a match declared by fanzines as a fancy dress party . In 2010 , City supporters adopted an exuberant dance , dubbed The Poznań , from fans of Polish club Lech Poznań . Ownership and finances Main article : Manchester City F.C. ownership and finances The holding company of Manchester City F.C. , Manchester City Limited , is a private limited company , with approximately 54 million shares in issue . The club has been in private hands since 2007 , when the major shareholders agreed to sell their holdings to UK Sports Investments Limited ( UKSIL ) , a company controlled by former Thailand prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra . UKSIL then made a formal offer to buy the shares held by several thousand small shareholders . Prior to the Thaksin takeover , the club was listed on the specialist independent equity market PLUS ( formerly OFEX ) , where it had been listed since 1995 . On 6 July 2007 , having acquired 75 % of the shares , Thaksin de-listed the club and re-registered it as a private company . By August UKSIL had acquired over 90 % of the shares , and exercised its rights under the Companies Act to `` squeeze out '' the remaining shareholders , and acquire the entire shareholding . Thaksin Shinawatra became chairman of the club and two of Thaksin 's children , Pintongta and Oak Chinnawat also became directors . Former chairman John Wardle stayed on the board for a year , but resigned in July 2008 following Nike executive Garry Cook 's appointment as executive chairman in May . The club made a pre-tax loss of £ 11m in the year ending 31 May 2007 , the final year for which accounts were published as a public company . Thaksin 's purchase prompted a period of transfer spending at the club , spending in around £ 30 million , whereas over the previous few seasons net spending had been among the lowest in the division . A year later , this investment was itself dwarfed by larger sums . On 1 September 2008 , Abu Dhabi - based Abu Dhabi United Group Investment and Development Limited completed a takeover of Manchester City . The deal , worth a reported £ 200 million , was announced on the morning of 1 September . It sparked various transfer `` deadline - day '' rumours and bids such as the club 's attempt to gazump Manchester United 's protracted bid to sign Dimitar Berbatov from Tottenham Hotspur for a fee in excess of £ 30 million . Minutes before the transfer window closed , the club signed Robinho from Real Madrid for a British record transfer fee of £ 32.5 million . The wealth of the new owners meant that in the summer of 2009 , the club was able to finance the purchase of several experienced international players prior to the new season , spending more than any other club in the Premier League . City Football Group Main article : City Football Group Created in the 2013 -- 14 season to manage the global footballing interests of Abu Dhabi United Group , the City Football Group ( CFG ) is an umbrella corporation owning stakes in a network of global clubs for the purposes of resource sharing , academy networking and marketing . Through the City Football Group , City owns stakes in a number of clubs : Melbourne City FC ( 2014 -- present ) On 23 January 2014 it was announced that Manchester City had partnered with the Australian rugby league franchise Melbourne Storm , purchasing a majority stake in A-League team Melbourne City FC . On 5 August 2015 , CFG bought out the Storm and so acquired full ownership of the team . Yokohama F. Marinos ( 2014 -- present ) On 20 May 2014 it was announced that Manchester City had partnered with the Japanese Automotive company Nissan to become a minority shareholder in Yokohama based J - League side , Yokohama F. Marinos . New York City FC ( 2015 -- present ) On 21 May 2013 it was announced that Manchester City had partnered with the American baseball franchise the New York Yankees to introduce the 20th Major League Soccer expansion team , New York City FC as its majority shareholder . The club began play in the 2015 Major League Soccer season . Club Atlético Torque ( 2017 -- present ) On 5 April 2017 , CFG confirmed the purchase of Uruguayan second division team Club Atlético Torque . Girona FC ( 2017 -- present ) On 23 August 2017 it was announced that the City Football Group had acquired 44.3 % of La Liga side Girona FC . Another 44.3 % was held by the Girona Football Group , led by Pere Guardiola , brother of Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola . Stadium Main article : City of Manchester stadium See also : Hyde Road Football Stadium and Maine Road Manchester City 's stadium is the City of Manchester Stadium , also known as Eastlands and the Etihad Stadium since July 2011 because of sponsorship commitments . The stadium is situated in East Manchester and is part of a 200 - year operating lease from Manchester City Council after the 2002 Commonwealth Games . The stadium has been City 's home since the end of the 2002 -- 03 season , when the club moved from Maine Road . Before moving to the stadium , Manchester City spent in excess of £ 30 million to convert it to football use . The field of play was lowered by several metres , adding another tier of seating around the entire pitch . A new North Stand was also built . The inaugural match at the new stadium was a 2 -- 1 win over Barcelona in a friendly match . In August 2015 , a 7,000 seat third tier on the South Stand was completed , in time for the start of the 2015 -- 16 football season . Current capacity stands at 55,097 . A North Stand third tier has planning approval and work on it is expected to begin by 2017 , increasing capacity to around 61,000 . Manchester City have used several grounds during their history : after playing home matches at five stadiums between 1880 and 1887 , the club settled at Hyde Road Football Stadium , its home for 36 years . After a fire destroyed the Main Stand in 1920 , the club started to seek a new site and moved to the 84,000 capacity Maine Road three years later . Maine Road , nicknamed the `` Wembley of the North '' by its designers , hosted the largest - ever crowd at an English club ground when 84,569 attended an FA Cup tie against Stoke City on 3 March 1934 . Though Maine Road was redeveloped several times over its 80 - year lifespan , by 1995 its capacity was restricted to 32,000 , prompting the search for a new ground which culminated in the move to the City of Manchester Stadium in 2003 .

"The club's most successful period was in the late 1960s and early 1970s, when they won the League Championship, FA Cup, League Cup and European Cup Winners' Cup under the management team of Joe Mercer and Malcolm Allison. After losing the 1981 FA Cup Final, the club went through a period of decline, culminating in relegation to the third tier of English football for the only time in their history in 1998. Having regained their Premier League status in the early 2000s, the club was purchased in 2008 by Abu Dhabi United Group and has since become one of the wealthiest in the world. Since 2011, the club have won five major honours, including the Premier League in 2012 and 2014."

The copper statue , a gift from the people of France to the people of the United States , was designed by French sculptor Frédéric Auguste Bartholdi and built by Gustave Eiffel . The statue was dedicated on October 28 , 1886 . The Statue of Liberty is a figure of a robed woman representing Libertas , a Roman goddess . She holds a torch above her head with her right hand , and in her left hand carries a tabula ansata inscribed in Roman numerals with `` JULY IV MDCCLXXVI '' ( July 4 , 1776 ) , the date of the U.S. Declaration of Independence . A broken chain lies at her feet . The statue became an icon of freedom and of the United States , and was a welcoming sight to immigrants arriving from abroad . Bartholdi was inspired by a French law professor and politician , Édouard René de Laboulaye , who is said to have commented in 1865 that any monument raised to U.S. independence would properly be a joint project of the French and American peoples . Because of the post-war instability in France , work on the statue did not commence until the early 1870s . In 1875 , Laboulaye proposed that the French finance the statue and the U.S. provide the site and build the pedestal . Bartholdi completed the head and the torch - bearing arm before the statue was fully designed , and these pieces were exhibited for publicity at international expositions . The torch - bearing arm was displayed at the Centennial Exposition in Philadelphia in 1876 , and in Madison Square Park in Manhattan from 1876 to 1882 . Fundraising proved difficult , especially for the Americans , and by 1885 work on the pedestal was threatened by lack of funds . Publisher Joseph Pulitzer , of the New York World , started a drive for donations to finish the project and attracted more than 120,000 contributors , most of whom gave less than a dollar . The statue was built in France , shipped overseas in crates , and assembled on the completed pedestal on what was then called Bedloe 's Island . The statue 's completion was marked by New York 's first ticker - tape parade and a dedication ceremony presided over by President Grover Cleveland . The statue was administered by the United States Lighthouse Board until 1901 and then by the Department of War ; since 1933 it has been maintained by the National Park Service . Public access to the balcony around the torch has been barred for safety since 1916 .

The project is traced to a mid-1865 conversation between Édouard René de Laboulaye , a staunch abolitionist and Frédéric Bartholdi , a sculptor . In after - dinner conversation at his home near Versailles , Laboulaye , an ardent supporter of the Union in the American Civil War , is supposed to have said : `` If a monument should rise in the United States , as a memorial to their independence , I should think it only natural if it were built by united effort -- a common work of both our nations . '' The National Park Service , in a 2000 report , however , deemed this a legend traced to an 1885 fundraising pamphlet , and that the statue was most likely conceived in 1870 . In another essay on their website , the Park Service suggested that Laboulaye was minded to honor the Union victory and its consequences , `` With the abolition of slavery and the Union 's victory in the Civil War in 1865 , Laboulaye 's wishes of freedom and democracy were turning into a reality in the United States . In order to honor these achievements , Laboulaye proposed that a gift be built for the United States on behalf of France . Laboulaye hoped that by calling attention to the recent achievements of the United States , the French people would be inspired to call for their own democracy in the face of a repressive monarchy . '' Bartholdi 's design patent According to sculptor Frédéric Auguste Bartholdi , who later recounted the story , Laboulaye 's comment was not intended as a proposal , but it inspired Bartholdi . Given the repressive nature of the regime of Napoleon III , Bartholdi took no immediate action on the idea except to discuss it with Laboulaye . Bartholdi was in any event busy with other possible projects ; in the late 1860s , he approached Isma'il Pasha , Khedive of Egypt , a plan to build Progress or Egypt Carrying the Light to Asia , a huge lighthouse in the form of an ancient Egyptian female fellah or peasant , robed and holding a torch aloft , at the northern entrance to the Suez Canal in Port Said . Sketches and models were made of the proposed work , though it was never erected . There was a classical precedent for the Suez proposal , the Colossus of Rhodes : an ancient bronze statue of the Greek god of the sun , Helios . This statue is believed to have been over 100 feet ( 30 m ) high , and it similarly stood at a harbor entrance and carried a light to guide ships . Any large project was further delayed by the Franco - Prussian War , in which Bartholdi served as a major of militia . In the war , Napoleon III was captured and deposed . Bartholdi 's home province of Alsace was lost to the Prussians , and a more liberal republic was installed in France . As Bartholdi had been planning a trip to the United States , he and Laboulaye decided the time was right to discuss the idea with influential Americans . In June 1871 , Bartholdi crossed the Atlantic , with letters of introduction signed by Laboulaye . Arriving at New York Harbor , Bartholdi focused on Bedloe 's Island ( now named Liberty Island ) as a site for the statue , struck by the fact that vessels arriving in New York had to sail past it . He was delighted to learn that the island was owned by the United States government -- it had been ceded by the New York State Legislature in 1800 for harbor defense . It was thus , as he put it in a letter to Laboulaye : `` land common to all the states . '' As well as meeting many influential New Yorkers , Bartholdi visited President Ulysses S. Grant , who assured him that it would not be difficult to obtain the site for the statue . Bartholdi crossed the United States twice by rail , and met many Americans who he thought would be sympathetic to the project . But he remained concerned that popular opinion on both sides of the Atlantic was insufficiently supportive of the proposal , and he and Laboulaye decided to wait before mounting a public campaign . Bartholdi 's Lion of Belfort Bartholdi had made a first model of his concept in 1870 . The son of a friend of Bartholdi 's , American artist John LaFarge , later maintained that Bartholdi made the first sketches for the statue during his U.S. visit at La Farge 's Rhode Island studio . Bartholdi continued to develop the concept following his return to France . He also worked on a number of sculptures designed to bolster French patriotism after the defeat by the Prussians . One of these was the Lion of Belfort , a monumental sculpture carved in sandstone below the fortress of Belfort , which during the war had resisted a Prussian siege for over three months . The defiant lion , 73 feet ( 22 m ) long and half that in height , displays an emotional quality characteristic of Romanticism , which Bartholdi would later bring to the Statue of Liberty . Design , style , and symbolism Detail from a fresco by Constantino Brumidi in the U.S. Capitol in Washington , D.C. , showing two early symbols of America : Columbia ( left ) and the Indian princess Bartholdi and Laboulaye considered how best to express the idea of American liberty . In early American history , two female figures were frequently used as cultural symbols of the nation . One of these symbols , the personified Columbia , was seen as an embodiment of the United States in the manner that Britannia was identified with the United Kingdom and Marianne came to represent France . Columbia had supplanted the earlier figure of an Indian princess , which had come to be regarded as uncivilized and derogatory toward Americans . The other significant female icon in American culture was a representation of Liberty , derived from Libertas , the goddess of freedom widely worshipped in ancient Rome , especially among emancipated slaves . A Liberty figure adorned most American coins of the time , and representations of Liberty appeared in popular and civic art , including Thomas Crawford 's Statue of Freedom ( 1863 ) atop the dome of the United States Capitol Building . Artists of the 18th and 19th centuries striving to evoke republican ideals commonly used representations of Libertas as an allegorical symbol . A figure of Liberty was also depicted on the Great Seal of France . However , Bartholdi and Laboulaye avoided an image of revolutionary liberty such as that depicted in Eugène Delacroix 's famed Liberty Leading the People ( 1830 ) . In this painting , which commemorates France 's Revolution of 1830 , a half - clothed Liberty leads an armed mob over the bodies of the fallen . Laboulaye had no sympathy for revolution , and so Bartholdi 's figure would be fully dressed in flowing robes . Instead of the impression of violence in the Delacroix work , Bartholdi wished to give the statue a peaceful appearance and chose a torch , representing progress , for the figure to hold . Crawford 's statue was designed in the early 1850s . It was originally to be crowned with a pileus , the cap given to emancipated slaves in ancient Rome . Secretary of War Jefferson Davis , a Southerner who would later serve as President of the Confederate States of America , was concerned that the pileus would be taken as an abolitionist symbol . He ordered that it be changed to a helmet . Delacroix 's figure wears a pileus , and Bartholdi at first considered placing one on his figure as well . Instead , he used a diadem , or crown , to top its head . In so doing , he avoided a reference to Marianne , who invariably wears a pileus . The seven rays form a halo or aureole . They evoke the sun , the seven seas , and the seven continents , and represent another means , besides the torch , whereby Liberty enlightens the world . Bartholdi 's early models were all similar in concept : a female figure in neoclassical style representing liberty , wearing a stola and pella ( gown and cloak , common in depictions of Roman goddesses ) and holding a torch aloft . According to popular accounts , the face was modeled after that of Charlotte Beysser Bartholdi , the sculptor 's mother , but Regis Huber , the curator of the Bartholdi Museum is on record as saying that this , as well as other similar speculations , have no basis in fact . He designed the figure with a strong , uncomplicated silhouette , which would be set off well by its dramatic harbor placement and allow passengers on vessels entering New York Bay to experience a changing perspective on the statue as they proceeded toward Manhattan . He gave it bold classical contours and applied simplified modeling , reflecting the huge scale of the project and its solemn purpose . Bartholdi wrote of his technique : Thomas Crawford 's Statue of Freedom The surfaces should be broad and simple , defined by a bold and clear design , accentuated in the important places . The enlargement of the details or their multiplicity is to be feared . By exaggerating the forms , in order to render them more clearly visible , or by enriching them with details , we would destroy the proportion of the work . Finally , the model , like the design , should have a summarized character , such as one would give to a rapid sketch . Only it is necessary that this character should be the product of volition and study , and that the artist , concentrating his knowledge , should find the form and the line in its greatest simplicity . Bartholdi made alterations in the design as the project evolved . Bartholdi considered having Liberty hold a broken chain , but decided this would be too divisive in the days after the Civil War . The erected statue does rise over a broken chain , half - hidden by her robes and difficult to see from the ground . Bartholdi was initially uncertain of what to place in Liberty 's left hand ; he settled on a tabula ansata , used to evoke the concept of law . Though Bartholdi greatly admired the United States Constitution , he chose to inscribe `` JULY IV MDCCLXXVI '' on the tablet , thus associating the date of the country 's Declaration of Independence with the concept of liberty . Bartholdi interested his friend and mentor , architect Eugène Viollet - le - Duc , in the project . As chief engineer , Viollet - le - Duc designed a brick pier within the statue , to which the skin would be anchored . After consultations with the metalwork foundry Gaget , Gauthier & Co. , Viollet - le - Duc chose the metal which would be used for the skin , copper sheets , and the method used to shape it , repoussé , in which the sheets were heated and then struck with wooden hammers . An advantage of this choice was that the entire statue would be light for its volume , as the copper need be only 0.094 inches ( 2.4 mm ) thick . Bartholdi had decided on a height of just over 151 feet ( 46 m ) for the statue , double that of Italy 's Sancarlone and the German statue of Arminius , both made with the same method . Announcement and early work By 1875 , France was enjoying improved political stability and a recovering postwar economy . Growing interest in the upcoming Centennial Exposition in Philadelphia led Laboulaye to decide it was time to seek public support . In September 1875 , he announced the project and the formation of the Franco - American Union as its fundraising arm . With the announcement , the statue was given a name , Liberty Enlightening the World . The French would finance the statue ; Americans would be expected to pay for the pedestal . The announcement provoked a generally favorable reaction in France , though many Frenchmen resented the United States for not coming to their aid during the war with Prussia . French monarchists opposed the statue , if for no other reason than it was proposed by the liberal Laboulaye , who had recently been elected a senator for life . Laboulaye arranged events designed to appeal to the rich and powerful , including a special performance at the Paris Opera on April 25 , 1876 , that featured a new cantata by composer Charles Gounod . The piece was titled La Liberté éclairant le monde , the French version of the statue 's announced name . Stereoscopic image of right arm and torch of the Statue of Liberty , 1876 Centennial Exposition Despite its initial focus on the elites , the Union was successful in raising funds from across French society . Schoolchildren and ordinary citizens gave , as did 181 French municipalities . Laboulaye 's political allies supported the call , as did descendants of the French contingent in the American Revolutionary War . Less idealistically , contributions came from those who hoped for American support in the French attempt to build the Panama Canal . The copper may have come from multiple sources and some of it is said to have come from a mine in Visnes , Norway , though this has not been conclusively determined after testing samples . According to Cara Sutherland in her book on the statue for the Museum of the City of New York , 90,800 kilos ( 200,000 pounds ) was needed to build the statue , and the French copper industrialist Eugène Secrétan donated 58,100 kilos ( 128,000 pounds ) of copper . Although plans for the statue had not been finalized , Bartholdi moved forward with fabrication of the right arm , bearing the torch , and the head . Work began at the Gaget , Gauthier & Co. workshop . In May 1876 , Bartholdi traveled to the United States as a member of a French delegation to the Centennial Exhibition , and arranged for a huge painting of the statue to be shown in New York as part of the Centennial festivities . The arm did not arrive in Philadelphia until August ; because of its late arrival , it was not listed in the exhibition catalogue , and while some reports correctly identified the work , others called it the `` Colossal Arm '' or `` Bartholdi Electric Light '' . The exhibition grounds contained a number of monumental artworks to compete for fairgoers ' interest , including an outsized fountain designed by Bartholdi . Nevertheless , the arm proved popular in the exhibition 's waning days , and visitors would climb up to the balcony of the torch to view the fairgrounds . After the exhibition closed , the arm was transported to New York , where it remained on display in Madison Square Park for several years before it was returned to France to join the rest of the statue . During his second trip to the United States , Bartholdi addressed a number of groups about the project , and urged the formation of American committees of the Franco - American Union . Committees to raise money to pay for the foundation and pedestal were formed in New York , Boston , and Philadelphia . The New York group eventually took on most of the responsibility for American fundraising and is often referred to as the `` American Committee '' . One of its members was 19 - year - old Theodore Roosevelt , the future governor of New York and president of the United States . On March 3 , 1877 , on his final full day in office , President Grant signed a joint resolution that authorized the President to accept the statue when it was presented by France and to select a site for it . President Rutherford B. Hayes , who took office the following day , selected the Bedloe 's Island site that Bartholdi had proposed . Construction in France The statue 's head on exhibit at the Paris World 's Fair , 1878 On his return to Paris in 1877 , Bartholdi concentrated on completing the head , which was exhibited at the 1878 Paris World 's Fair . Fundraising continued , with models of the statue put on sale . Tickets to view the construction activity at the Gaget , Gauthier & Co. workshop were also offered . The French government authorized a lottery ; among the prizes were valuable silver plate and a terracotta model of the statue . By the end of 1879 , about 250,000 francs had been raised . The head and arm had been built with assistance from Viollet - le - Duc , who fell ill in 1879 . He soon died , leaving no indication of how he intended to transition from the copper skin to his proposed masonry pier . The following year , Bartholdi was able to obtain the services of the innovative designer and builder Gustave Eiffel . Eiffel and his structural engineer , Maurice Koechlin , decided to abandon the pier and instead build an iron truss tower . Eiffel opted not to use a completely rigid structure , which would force stresses to accumulate in the skin and lead eventually to cracking . A secondary skeleton was attached to the center pylon , then , to enable the statue to move slightly in the winds of New York Harbor and as the metal expanded on hot summer days , he loosely connected the support structure to the skin using flat iron bars which culminated in a mesh of metal straps , known as `` saddles '' , that were riveted to the skin , providing firm support . In a labor - intensive process , each saddle had to be crafted individually . To prevent galvanic corrosion between the copper skin and the iron support structure , Eiffel insulated the skin with asbestos impregnated with shellac . Eiffel 's design made the statue one of the earliest examples of curtain wall construction , in which the exterior of the structure is not load bearing , but is instead supported by an interior framework . He included two interior spiral staircases , to make it easier for visitors to reach the observation point in the crown . Access to an observation platform surrounding the torch was also provided , but the narrowness of the arm allowed for only a single ladder , 40 feet ( 12 m ) long . As the pylon tower arose , Eiffel and Bartholdi coordinated their work carefully so that completed segments of skin would fit exactly on the support structure . The components of the pylon tower were built in the Eiffel factory in the nearby Parisian suburb of Levallois - Perret . The change in structural material from masonry to iron allowed Bartholdi to change his plans for the statue 's assembly . He had originally expected to assemble the skin on - site as the masonry pier was built ; instead he decided to build the statue in France and have it disassembled and transported to the United States for reassembly in place on Bedloe 's Island . In a symbolic act , the first rivet placed into the skin , fixing a copper plate onto the statue 's big toe , was driven by United States Ambassador to France Levi P. Morton . The skin was not , however , crafted in exact sequence from low to high ; work proceeded on a number of segments simultaneously in a manner often confusing to visitors . Some work was performed by contractors -- one of the fingers was made to Bartholdi 's exacting specifications by a coppersmith in the southern French town of Montauban . By 1882 , the statue was complete up to the waist , an event Barthodi celebrated by inviting reporters to lunch on a platform built within the statue . Laboulaye died in 1883 . He was succeeded as chairman of the French committee by Ferdinand de Lesseps , builder of the Suez Canal . The completed statue was formally presented to Ambassador Morton at a ceremony in Paris on July 4 , 1884 , and de Lesseps announced that the French government had agreed to pay for its transport to New York . The statue remained intact in Paris pending sufficient progress on the pedestal ; by January 1885 , this had occurred and the statue was disassembled and crated for its ocean voyage . Richard Morris Hunt 's pedestal under construction in June 1885 The committees in the United States faced great difficulties in obtaining funds for the construction of the pedestal . The Panic of 1873 had led to an economic depression that persisted through much of the decade . The Liberty statue project was not the only such undertaking that had difficulty raising money : construction of the obelisk later known as the Washington Monument sometimes stalled for years ; it would ultimately take over three - and - a-half decades to complete . There was criticism both of Bartholdi 's statue and of the fact that the gift required Americans to foot the bill for the pedestal . In the years following the Civil War , most Americans preferred realistic artworks depicting heroes and events from the nation 's history , rather than allegorical works like the Liberty statue . There was also a feeling that Americans should design American public works -- the selection of Italian - born Constantino Brumidi to decorate the Capitol had provoked intense criticism , even though he was a naturalized U.S. citizen . Harper 's Weekly declared its wish that `` M. Bartholdi and our French cousins had ' gone the whole figure ' while they were about it , and given us statue and pedestal at once . '' The New York Times stated that `` no true patriot can countenance any such expenditures for bronze females in the present state of our finances . '' Faced with these criticisms , the American committees took little action for several years . Design Frank Leslie 's Illustrated Newspaper , June 1885 , showing ( clockwise from left ) woodcuts of the completed statue in Paris , Bartholdi , and the statue 's interior structure The foundation of Bartholdi 's statue was to be laid inside Fort Wood , a disused army base on Bedloe 's Island constructed between 1807 and 1811 . Since 1823 , it had rarely been used , though during the Civil War , it had served as a recruiting station . The fortifications of the structure were in the shape of an eleven - point star . The statue 's foundation and pedestal were aligned so that it would face southeast , greeting ships entering the harbor from the Atlantic Ocean . In 1881 , the New York committee commissioned Richard Morris Hunt to design the pedestal . Within months , Hunt submitted a detailed plan , indicating that he expected construction to take about nine months . He proposed a pedestal 114 feet ( 35 m ) in height ; faced with money problems , the committee reduced that to 89 feet ( 27 m ) . Hunt 's pedestal design contains elements of classical architecture , including Doric portals , as well as some elements influenced by Aztec architecture . The large mass is fragmented with architectural detail , in order to focus attention on the statue . In form , it is a truncated pyramid , 62 feet ( 19 m ) square at the base and 39.4 feet ( 12.0 m ) at the top . The four sides are identical in appearance . Above the door on each side , there are ten disks upon which Bartholdi proposed to place the coats of arms of the states ( between 1876 and 1889 , there were 38 U.S. states ) , although this was not done . Above that , a balcony was placed on each side , framed by pillars . Bartholdi placed an observation platform near the top of the pedestal , above which the statue itself rises . According to author Louis Auchincloss , the pedestal `` craggily evokes the power of an ancient Europe over which rises the dominating figure of the Statue of Liberty '' . The committee hired former army General Charles Pomeroy Stone to oversee the construction work . Construction on the 15 - foot - deep ( 4.6 m ) foundation began in 1883 , and the pedestal 's cornerstone was laid in 1884 . In Hunt 's original conception , the pedestal was to have been made of solid granite . Financial concerns again forced him to revise his plans ; the final design called for poured concrete walls , up to 20 feet ( 6.1 m ) thick , faced with granite blocks . This Stony Creek granite came from the Beattie Quarry in Branford , Connecticut . The concrete mass was the largest poured to that time . Norwegian immigrant civil engineer Joachim Goschen Giæver designed the structural framework for the Statue of Liberty . His work involved design computations , detailed fabrication and construction drawings , and oversight of construction . In completing his engineering for the statue 's frame , Giæver worked from drawings and sketches produced by Gustave Eiffel . Fundraising Unpacking of the face of the Statue of Liberty , which was delivered on June 17 , 1885 Fundraising for the statue had begun in 1882 . The committee organized a large number of money - raising events . As part of one such effort , an auction of art and manuscripts , poet Emma Lazarus was asked to donate an original work . She initially declined , stating she could not write a poem about a statue . At the time , she was also involved in aiding refugees to New York who had fled anti-Semitic pogroms in eastern Europe . These refugees were forced to live in conditions that the wealthy Lazarus had never experienced . She saw a way to express her empathy for these refugees in terms of the statue . The resulting sonnet , `` The New Colossus '' , including the iconic lines `` Give me your tired , your poor / Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free '' , is uniquely identified with the Statue of Liberty and is inscribed on a plaque in the museum in its base . Even with these efforts , fundraising lagged . Grover Cleveland , the governor of New York , vetoed a bill to provide $50,000 for the statue project in 1884 . An attempt the next year to have Congress provide $100,000 , sufficient to complete the project , also failed . The New York committee , with only $3,000 in the bank , suspended work on the pedestal . With the project in jeopardy , groups from other American cities , including Boston and Philadelphia , offered to pay the full cost of erecting the statue in return for relocating it . Joseph Pulitzer , publisher of the New York World , a New York newspaper , announced a drive to raise $100,000 -- the equivalent of $2.3 million today . Pulitzer pledged to print the name of every contributor , no matter how small the amount given . The drive captured the imagination of New Yorkers , especially when Pulitzer began publishing the notes he received from contributors . `` A young girl alone in the world '' donated `` 60 cents , the result of self denial . '' One donor gave `` five cents as a poor office boy 's mite toward the Pedestal Fund . '' A group of children sent a dollar as `` the money we saved to go to the circus with . '' Another dollar was given by a `` lonely and very aged woman . '' Residents of a home for alcoholics in New York 's rival city of Brooklyn -- the cities would not merge until 1898 -- donated $15 ; other drinkers helped out through donation boxes in bars and saloons . A kindergarten class in Davenport , Iowa , mailed the World a gift of $1.35 . As the donations flooded in , the committee resumed work on the pedestal . Construction On June 17 , 1885 , the French steamer Isère , laden with the Statue of Liberty , reached the New York port safely . New Yorkers displayed their new - found enthusiasm for the statue , as the French vessel arrived with the crates holding the disassembled statue on board . Two hundred thousand people lined the docks and hundreds of boats put to sea to welcome the Isère . After five months of daily calls to donate to the statue fund , on August 11 , 1885 , the World announced that $102,000 had been raised from 120,000 donors , and that 80 percent of the total had been received in sums of less than one dollar . Even with the success of the fund drive , the pedestal was not completed until April 1886 . Immediately thereafter , reassembly of the statue began . Eiffel 's iron framework was anchored to steel I - beams within the concrete pedestal and assembled . Once this was done , the sections of skin were carefully attached . Due to the width of the pedestal , it was not possible to erect scaffolding , and workers dangled from ropes while installing the skin sections . Nevertheless , no one died during the construction . Bartholdi had planned to put floodlights on the torch 's balcony to illuminate it ; a week before the dedication , the Army Corps of Engineers vetoed the proposal , fearing that ships ' pilots passing the statue would be blinded . Instead , Bartholdi cut portholes in the torch -- which was covered with gold leaf -- and placed the lights inside them . A power plant was installed on the island to light the torch and for other electrical needs . After the skin was completed , renowned landscape architect Frederick Law Olmsted , co-designer of New York 's Central Park and Brooklyn 's Prospect Park , supervised a cleanup of Bedloe 's Island in anticipation of the dedication . Dedication Unveiling of the Statue of Liberty Enlightening the World ( 1886 ) by Edward Moran . Oil on canvas . The J. Clarence Davies Collection , Museum of the City of New York . A ceremony of dedication was held on the afternoon of October 28 , 1886 . President Grover Cleveland , the former New York governor , presided over the event . On the morning of the dedication , a parade was held in New York City ; estimates of the number of people who watched it ranged from several hundred thousand to a million . President Cleveland headed the procession , then stood in the reviewing stand to see bands and marchers from across America . General Stone was the grand marshal of the parade . The route began at Madison Square , once the venue for the arm , and proceeded to the Battery at the southern tip of Manhattan by way of Fifth Avenue and Broadway , with a slight detour so the parade could pass in front of the World building on Park Row . As the parade passed the New York Stock Exchange , traders threw ticker tape from the windows , beginning the New York tradition of the ticker - tape parade . A nautical parade began at 12 : 45 p.m. , and President Cleveland embarked on a yacht that took him across the harbor to Bedloe 's Island for the dedication . De Lesseps made the first speech , on behalf of the French committee , followed by the chairman of the New York committee , Senator William M. Evarts . A French flag draped across the statue 's face was to be lowered to unveil the statue at the close of Evarts 's speech , but Bartholdi mistook a pause as the conclusion and let the flag fall prematurely . The ensuing cheers put an end to Evarts 's address . President Cleveland spoke next , stating that the statue 's `` stream of light shall pierce the darkness of ignorance and man 's oppression until Liberty enlightens the world '' . Bartholdi , observed near the dais , was called upon to speak , but he declined . Orator Chauncey M. Depew concluded the speechmaking with a lengthy address . No members of the general public were permitted on the island during the ceremonies , which were reserved entirely for dignitaries . The only females granted access were Bartholdi 's wife and de Lesseps 's granddaughter ; officials stated that they feared women might be injured in the crush of people . The restriction offended area suffragists , who chartered a boat and got as close as they could to the island . The group 's leaders made speeches applauding the embodiment of Liberty as a woman and advocating women 's right to vote . A scheduled fireworks display was postponed until November 1 because of poor weather . Shortly after the dedication , The Cleveland Gazette , an African American newspaper , suggested that the statue 's torch not be lit until the United States became a free nation `` in reality '' : `` Liberty enlightening the world , '' indeed ! The expression makes us sick . This government is a howling farce . It can not or rather does not protect its citizens within its own borders . Shove the Bartholdi statue , torch and all , into the ocean until the `` liberty '' of this country is such as to make it possible for an inoffensive and industrious colored man to earn a respectable living for himself and family , without being ku - kluxed , perhaps murdered , his daughter and wife outraged , and his property destroyed . The idea of the `` liberty '' of this country `` enlightening the world , '' or even Patagonia , is ridiculous in the extreme . After dedication Lighthouse Board and War Department ( 1886 -- 1933 ) Statue of Liberty ca . 1900 Government poster using the Statue of Liberty to promote the sale of Liberty Bonds When the torch was illuminated on the evening of the statue 's dedication , it produced only a faint gleam , barely visible from Manhattan . The World characterized it as `` more like a glowworm than a beacon . '' Bartholdi suggested gilding the statue to increase its ability to reflect light , but this proved too expensive . The United States Lighthouse Board took over the Statue of Liberty in 1887 and pledged to install equipment to enhance the torch 's effect ; in spite of its efforts , the statue remained virtually invisible at night . When Bartholdi returned to the United States in 1893 , he made additional suggestions , all of which proved ineffective . He did successfully lobby for improved lighting within the statue , allowing visitors to better appreciate Eiffel 's design . In 1901 , President Theodore Roosevelt , once a member of the New York committee , ordered the statue 's transfer to the War Department , as it had proved useless as a lighthouse . A unit of the Army Signal Corps was stationed on Bedloe 's Island until 1923 , after which military police remained there while the island was under military jurisdiction . The statue rapidly became a landmark . Many immigrants who entered through New York saw it as a welcoming sight . Oral histories of immigrants record their feelings of exhilaration on first viewing the Statue of Liberty . One immigrant who arrived from Greece recalled , I saw the Statue of Liberty . And I said to myself , `` Lady , you 're such a beautiful ! ( sic ) You opened your arms and you get all the foreigners here . Give me a chance to prove that I am worth it , to do something , to be someone in America . '' And always that statue was on my mind . Originally , the statue was a dull copper color , but shortly after 1900 a green patina , also called verdigris , caused by the oxidation of the copper skin , began to spread . As early as 1902 it was mentioned in the press ; by 1906 it had entirely covered the statue . Believing that the patina was evidence of corrosion , Congress authorized US $62,800 ( equivalent to $1,673,969 in 2016 ) for various repairs , and to paint the statue both inside and out . There was considerable public protest against the proposed exterior painting . The Army Corps of Engineers studied the patina for any ill effects to the statue and concluded that it protected the skin , `` softened the outlines of the Statue and made it beautiful . '' The statue was painted only on the inside . The Corps of Engineers also installed an elevator to take visitors from the base to the top of the pedestal . On July 30 , 1916 , during World War I , German saboteurs set off a disastrous explosion on the Black Tom peninsula in Jersey City , New Jersey , in what is now part of Liberty State Park , close to Bedloe 's Island . Carloads of dynamite and other explosives that were being sent to Britain and France for their war efforts were detonated , and seven people were killed . The statue sustained minor damage , mostly to the torch - bearing right arm , and was closed for ten days . The cost to repair the statue and buildings on the island was about US $100,000 ( equivalent to $2,200,917 in 2016 ) . The narrow ascent to the torch was closed for public - safety reasons , and it has remained closed ever since . That same year , Ralph Pulitzer , who had succeeded his father Joseph as publisher of the World , began a drive to raise US $30,000 ( equivalent to $660,275 in 2016 ) for an exterior lighting system to illuminate the statue at night . He claimed over 80,000 contributors , but failed to reach the goal . The difference was quietly made up by a gift from a wealthy donor -- a fact that was not revealed until 1936 . An underwater power cable brought electricity from the mainland and floodlights were placed along the walls of Fort Wood . Gutzon Borglum , who later sculpted Mount Rushmore , redesigned the torch , replacing much of the original copper with stained glass . On December 2 , 1916 , President Woodrow Wilson pressed the telegraph key that turned on the lights , successfully illuminating the statue . After the United States entered World War I in 1917 , images of the statue were heavily used in both recruitment posters and the Liberty Bond drives that urged American citizens to support the war financially . This impressed upon the public the war 's stated purpose -- to secure liberty -- and served as a reminder that embattled France had given the United States the statue . In 1924 , President Calvin Coolidge used his authority under the Antiquities Act to declare the statue a National Monument . The only successful suicide in the statue 's history occurred five years later , when a man climbed out of one of the windows in the crown and jumped to his death , glancing off the statue 's breast and landing on the base . Early National Park Service years ( 1933 -- 1982 ) Bedloe 's Island in 1927 , showing the statue and army buildings . The eleven - pointed walls of Fort Wood , which still form the statue 's base , are visible . In 1933 , President Franklin Roosevelt ordered the statue to be transferred to the National Park Service ( NPS ) . In 1937 , the NPS gained jurisdiction over the rest of Bedloe 's Island . With the Army 's departure , the NPS began to transform the island into a park . The Works Progress Administration ( WPA ) demolished most of the old buildings , regraded and reseeded the eastern end of the island , and built granite steps for a new public entrance to the statue from its rear . The WPA also carried out restoration work within the statue , temporarily removing the rays from the statue 's halo so their rusted supports could be replaced . Rusted cast - iron steps in the pedestal were replaced with new ones made of reinforced concrete ; the upper parts of the stairways within the statue were replaced , as well . Copper sheathing was installed to prevent further damage from rainwater that had been seeping into the pedestal . The statue was closed to the public from May until December 1938 . During World War II , the statue remained open to visitors , although it was not illuminated at night due to wartime blackouts . It was lit briefly on December 31 , 1943 , and on D - Day , June 6 , 1944 , when its lights flashed `` dot - dot - dot - dash '' , the Morse code for V , for victory . New , powerful lighting was installed in 1944 -- 1945 , and beginning on V-E Day , the statue was once again illuminated after sunset . The lighting was for only a few hours each evening , and it was not until 1957 that the statue was illuminated every night , all night . In 1946 , the interior of the statue within reach of visitors was coated with a special plastic so that graffiti could be washed away . In 1956 , an Act of Congress officially renamed Bedloe 's Island as Liberty Island , a change advocated by Bartholdi generations earlier . The act also mentioned the efforts to found an American Museum of Immigration on the island , which backers took as federal approval of the project , though the government was slow to grant funds for it . Nearby Ellis Island was made part of the Statue of Liberty National Monument by proclamation of President Lyndon Johnson in 1965 . In 1972 , the immigration museum , in the statue 's base , was finally opened in a ceremony led by President Richard Nixon . The museum 's backers never provided it with an endowment to secure its future and it closed in 1991 after the opening of an immigration museum on Ellis Island . September 26 , 1972 : President Richard Nixon visits the statue to open the American Museum of Immigration . The statue 's raised right foot is visible , showing that it is depicted moving forward . In 1970 , Ivy Bottini led a demonstration at the statue where she and others from the National Organization for Women 's New York chapter draped an enormous banner over a railing which read `` WOMEN OF THE WORLD UNITE ! '' Beginning December 26 , 1971 , 15 anti-Vietnam War veterans occupied the statue , flying a US flag upside down from her crown . They left December 28 following a Federal Court order . The statue was also several times taken over briefly by demonstrators publicizing causes such as Puerto Rican independence , opposition to abortion , and opposition to US intervention in Grenada . Demonstrations with the permission of the Park Service included a Gay Pride Parade rally and the annual Captive Baltic Nations rally . A powerful new lighting system was installed in advance of the American Bicentennial in 1976 . The statue was the focal point for Operation Sail , a regatta of tall ships from all over the world that entered New York Harbor on July 4 , 1976 , and sailed around Liberty Island . The day concluded with a spectacular display of fireworks near the statue . Renovation and rededication ( 1982 -- 2000 ) July 4 , 1986 : First Lady Nancy Reagan ( in red ) reopens the statue to the public . Main article : Conservation - restoration of the Statue of Liberty See also : Liberty Weekend The statue was examined in great detail by French and American engineers as part of the planning for its centennial in 1986 . In 1982 , it was announced that the statue was in need of considerable restoration . Careful study had revealed that the right arm had been improperly attached to the main structure . It was swaying more and more when strong winds blew and there was a significant risk of structural failure . In addition , the head had been installed 2 feet ( 0.61 m ) off center , and one of the rays was wearing a hole in the right arm when the statue moved in the wind . The armature structure was badly corroded , and about two percent of the exterior plates needed to be replaced . Although problems with the armature had been recognized as early as 1936 , when cast iron replacements for some of the bars had been installed , much of the corrosion had been hidden by layers of paint applied over the years . In May 1982 , President Ronald Reagan announced the formation of the Statue of Liberty -- Ellis Island Centennial Commission , led by Chrysler Corporation chair Lee Iacocca , to raise the funds needed to complete the work . Through its fundraising arm , the Statue of Liberty -- Ellis Island Foundation , Inc. , the group raised more than $350 million in donations . The Statue of Liberty was one of the earliest beneficiaries of a cause marketing campaign . A 1983 promotion advertised that for each purchase made with an American Express card , the company would contribute one cent to the renovation of the statue . The campaign generated contributions of $1.7 million to the restoration project . In 1984 , the statue was closed to the public for the duration of the renovation . Workers erected the world 's largest free - standing scaffold , which obscured the statue from view . Liquid nitrogen was used to remove layers of paint that had been applied to the interior of the copper skin over decades , leaving two layers of coal tar , originally applied to plug leaks and prevent corrosion . Blasting with baking soda powder removed the tar without further damaging the copper . The restorers ' work was hampered by the asbestos - based substance that Bartholdi had used -- ineffectively , as inspections showed -- to prevent galvanic corrosion . Workers within the statue had to wear protective gear , dubbed `` moon suits '' , with self - contained breathing circuits . Larger holes in the copper skin were repaired , and new copper was added where necessary . The replacement skin was taken from a copper rooftop at Bell Labs , which had a patina that closely resembled the statue 's ; in exchange , the laboratory was provided some of the old copper skin for testing . The torch , found to have been leaking water since the 1916 alterations , was replaced with an exact replica of Bartholdi 's unaltered torch . Consideration was given to replacing the arm and shoulder ; the National Park Service insisted that they be repaired instead . The original torch was removed and replaced in 1986 with the current one , whose flame is covered in 24 - carat gold . The torch reflects the sun 's rays in daytime and is lighted by floodlights at night . Liberty Enlightening the World The entire puddled iron armature designed by Gustave Eiffel was replaced . Low - carbon corrosion - resistant stainless steel bars that now hold the staples next to the skin are made of Ferralium , an alloy that bends slightly and returns to its original shape as the statue moves . To prevent the ray and arm making contact , the ray was realigned by several degrees . The lighting was again replaced -- night - time illumination subsequently came from metal - halide lamps that send beams of light to particular parts of the pedestal or statue , showing off various details . Access to the pedestal , which had been through a nondescript entrance built in the 1960s , was renovated to create a wide opening framed by a set of monumental bronze doors with designs symbolic of the renovation . A modern elevator was installed , allowing handicapped access to the observation area of the pedestal . An emergency elevator was installed within the statue , reaching up to the level of the shoulder . July 3 -- 6 , 1986 , was designated `` Liberty Weekend '' , marking the centennial of the statue and its reopening . President Reagan presided over the rededication , with French President François Mitterrand in attendance . July 4 saw a reprise of Operation Sail , and the statue was reopened to the public on July 5 . In Reagan 's dedication speech , he stated , `` We are the keepers of the flame of liberty ; we hold it high for the world to see . '' Closures and reopenings ( 2001 -- present ) The Statue of Liberty on September 11 , 2001 as the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center burn in the background Following the September 11 attacks , the statue and Liberty Island were immediately closed to the public . The island reopened at the end of 2001 , while the pedestal and statue remained off - limits . The pedestal reopened in August 2004 , but the National Park Service announced that visitors could not safely be given access to the statue due to the difficulty of evacuation in an emergency . The Park Service adhered to that position through the remainder of the Bush administration . New York Congressman Anthony Weiner made the statue 's reopening a personal crusade . On May 17 , 2009 , President Barack Obama 's Secretary of the Interior , Ken Salazar , announced that as a `` special gift '' to America , the statue would be reopened to the public as of July 4 , but that only a limited number of people would be permitted to ascend to the crown each day . The statue , including the pedestal and base , closed on October 29 , 2011 , for installation of new elevators and staircases and to bring other facilities , such as restrooms , up to code . The statue was reopened on October 28 , 2012 , only to close again a day later due to Hurricane Sandy . Although the storm did not harm the statue , it destroyed some of the infrastructure on both Liberty Island and Ellis Island , severely damaging the dock used by the ferries bearing visitors to the statue . On November 8 , 2012 , a Park Service spokesperson announced that both islands would remain closed for an indefinite period for repairs to be done . Due to lack of electricity on Liberty Island , a generator was installed to power temporary floodlights to illuminate the statue at night . The superintendent of Statue of Liberty National Monument , David Luchsinger , whose home on the island was severely damaged , stated that it would be `` optimistically ... months '' before the island was reopened to the public . The statue and Liberty Island reopened to the public on July 4 , 2013 . Ellis Island remained closed for repairs for several more months but reopened in late October 2013 . For part of October 2013 , Liberty Island was closed to the public due to the United States federal government shutdown of 2013 , along with other federally funded museums , parks , monuments , construction projects and buildings . On October 7 , 2016 , construction started on a new Statue of Liberty museum on Liberty Island . The new $70 million , 26,000 - square - foot ( 2,400 m ) museum will be able to accommodate all of the island 's visitors when it opens in 2019 , as opposed to the current museum , which only 20 % of the island 's visitors can visit . The original torch will be relocated here , and in addition to exhibits relating to the statue 's construction and history , there will be a theater where visitors can watch an aerial view of the statue . The museum , designed by FXFOWLE Architects , will integrate with the parkland around it . It is being funded privately by Diane von Fürstenberg , Michael Bloomberg , Jeff Bezos , Coca - Cola , NBCUniversal , the family of Laurence Tisch and Preston Robert Tisch , Mellody Hobson , and George Lucas . Von Fürstenberg heads the fundraising for the museum , and the project had garnered more than $40 million in fundraising as of groundbreaking . Access and attributes Location and tourism Tourists aboard a Circle Line ferry arriving at Liberty Island , June 1973 The statue is situated in Upper New York Bay on Liberty Island south of Ellis Island , which together comprise the Statue of Liberty National Monument . Both islands were ceded by New York to the federal government in 1800 . As agreed in an 1834 compact between New York and New Jersey that set the state border at the bay 's midpoint , the original islands remain New York territory despite their location on the New Jersey side of the state line . Liberty Island is one of the islands that are part of the borough of Manhattan in New York . Land created by reclamation added to the 2.3 acres ( 0.93 ha ) original island at Ellis Island is New Jersey territory . No charge is made for entrance to the national monument , but there is a cost for the ferry service that all visitors must use , as private boats may not dock at the island . A concession was granted in 2007 to Statue Cruises to operate the transportation and ticketing facilities , replacing Circle Line , which had operated the service since 1953 . The ferries , which depart from Liberty State Park in Jersey City and Battery Park in Lower Manhattan , also stop at Ellis Island when it is open to the public , making a combined trip possible . All ferry riders are subject to security screening , similar to airport procedures , prior to boarding . Visitors intending to enter the statue 's base and pedestal must obtain a complimentary museum / pedestal ticket along with their ferry ticket . Those wishing to climb the staircase within the statue to the crown purchase a special ticket , which may be reserved up to a year in advance . A total of 240 people per day are permitted to ascend : ten per group , three groups per hour . Climbers may bring only medication and cameras -- lockers are provided for other items -- and must undergo a second security screening . Inscriptions , plaques , and dedications The Statue of Liberty stands on Liberty Island . There are several plaques and dedicatory tablets on or near the Statue of Liberty . A plaque on the copper just under the figure in front declares that it is a colossal statue representing Liberty , designed by Bartholdi and built by the Paris firm of Gaget , Gauthier et Cie ( Cie is the French abbreviation analogous to Co . ) . A presentation tablet , also bearing Bartholdi 's name , declares the statue is a gift from the people of the Republic of France that honors `` the Alliance of the two Nations in achieving the Independence of the United States of America and attests their abiding friendship . '' A tablet placed by the New York committee commemorates the fundraising done to build the pedestal . The cornerstone bears a plaque placed by the Freemasons . In 1903 , a bronze tablet that bears the text of Emma Lazarus 's sonnet , `` The New Colossus '' ( 1883 ) , was presented by friends of the poet . Until the 1986 renovation , it was mounted inside the pedestal ; today it resides in the Statue of Liberty Museum , in the base . `` The New Colossus '' tablet is accompanied by a tablet given by the Emma Lazarus Commemorative Committee in 1977 , celebrating the poet 's life . A group of statues stands at the western end of the island , honoring those closely associated with the Statue of Liberty . Two Americans -- Pulitzer and Lazarus -- and three Frenchmen -- Bartholdi , Eiffel , and Laboulaye -- are depicted . They are the work of Maryland sculptor Phillip Ratner . UNESCO World Heritage site In 1984 , the Statue of Liberty was designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site . The UNESCO `` Statement of Significance '' describes the statue as a `` masterpiece of the human spirit '' that `` endures as a highly potent symbol -- inspiring contemplation , debate and protest -- of ideals such as liberty , peace , human rights , abolition of slavery , democracy and opportunity .

A smaller version of the statue , one - fourth the height of the original , was given by the American community in Paris to that city . It now stands on the Île aux Cygnes , facing west toward her larger sister . A replica 30 feet ( 9.1 m ) tall stood atop the Liberty Warehouse on West 64th Street in Manhattan for many years ; it now resides at the Brooklyn Museum . In a patriotic tribute , the Boy Scouts of America , as part of their Strengthen the Arm of Liberty campaign in 1949 -- 1952 , donated about two hundred replicas of the statue , made of stamped copper and 100 inches ( 2,500 mm ) in height , to states and municipalities across the United States . Though not a true replica , the statue known as the Goddess of Democracy temporarily erected during the Tiananmen Square protests of 1989 was similarly inspired by French democratic traditions -- the sculptors took care to avoid a direct imitation of the Statue of Liberty . Among other recreations of New York City structures , a replica of the statue is part of the exterior of the New York - New York Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas . Head of Liberty , U.S. airmail stamp , 1971 issue Reverse side of a Presidential Dollar coin As an American icon , the Statue of Liberty has been depicted on the country 's coinage and stamps . It appeared on commemorative coins issued to mark its 1986 centennial , and on New York 's 2001 entry in the state quarters series . An image of the statue was chosen for the American Eagle platinum bullion coins in 1997 , and it was placed on the reverse , or tails , side of the Presidential Dollar series of circulating coins . Two images of the statue 's torch appear on the current ten - dollar bill . The statue 's intended photographic depiction on a 2010 forever stamp proved instead to be of the replica at the Las Vegas casino . Depictions of the statue have been used by many regional institutions . Between 1986 and 2000 , New York State issued license plates with an outline of the statue to either the front or the side of the serial number . The Women 's National Basketball Association 's New York Liberty use both the statue 's name and its image in their logo , in which the torch 's flame doubles as a basketball . The New York Rangers of the National Hockey League depicted the statue 's head on their third jersey , beginning in 1997 . The National Collegiate Athletic Association 's 1996 Men 's Basketball Final Four , played at New Jersey 's Meadowlands Sports Complex , featured the statue in its logo . The Libertarian Party of the United States uses the statue in its emblem . The statue is a frequent subject in popular culture . In music , it has been evoked to indicate support for American policies , as in Toby Keith 's song `` Courtesy of the Red , White and Blue ( The Angry American ) '' , and in opposition , appearing on the cover of the Dead Kennedys ' album Bedtime for Democracy , which protested the Reagan administration . In film , the torch is the setting for the climax of director Alfred Hitchcock 's 1942 movie Saboteur . The statue makes one of its most famous cinematic appearances in the 1968 picture Planet of the Apes , in which it is seen half - buried in sand . It is knocked over in the science - fiction film Independence Day and in Cloverfield the head is ripped off . In Jack Finney 's time - travel novel Time and Again , the right arm of the statue , on display in the early 1880s in Madison Square Park , plays a crucial role . Robert Holdstock , consulting editor of The Encyclopedia of Science Fiction , wondered in 1979 , Where would science fiction be without the Statue of Liberty ? For decades it has towered or crumbled above the wastelands of deserted ( E ) arth -- giants have uprooted it , aliens have found it curious ... the symbol of Liberty , of optimism , has become a symbol of science fiction 's pessimistic view of the future .

"On June 17, 1885, the French steamer Isère, laden with the Statue of Liberty, reached the New York port safely. New Yorkers displayed their new-found enthusiasm for the statue, as the French vessel arrived with the crates holding the disassembled statue on board. Two hundred thousand people lined the docks and hundreds of boats put to sea to welcome the Isère.[91] [92] After five months of daily calls to donate to the statue fund, on August 11, 1885, the World announced that $102,000 had been raised from 120,000 donors, and that 80 percent of the total had been received in sums of less than one dollar.[93]"

3752577279185437554 | Minimum wage in Canada | Minimum wage in Canada - wikipedia Minimum wage in Canada Jump to : navigation , search Minimum wage levels in developed economies as a share of median full - time wage . The relative minimum wage ratio in Canada is shown in black . Under the Canadian Constitution , the responsibility for enacting and enforcing labour laws , including the minimum wage , rests with the ten provinces as well as the three territories which have been granted this power by federal legislation . Some provinces allow lower wages to be paid to liquor servers and other gratuity earners or to inexperienced employees . The federal government in past years set its own minimum wage rates for workers in federal jurisdiction industries ( railways for example ) . In 1996 , however , the federal minimum wage was re-defined to be the general adult minimum wage rate of the province or territory where the work is performed . This means , for example , that a railway company could not legally pay a worker in British Columbia less than C $11.35 per hour regardless of the worker 's experience . Contents ( hide ) 1 Demographics 2 Minimum wage levels by jurisdiction 3 Criticism 4 See also 5 References 6 External link Demographics ( edit ) In 2013 , 39.8 % of minimum wage workers were between the ages of 15 and 19 ; in 1997 , it was 36 % . 50.2 % of workers in this age group were paid minimum wage in 2013 , an increase from 31.5 % in 1997 . Statistics Canada notes that `` youth , women and persons with a low level of education were the groups most likely to be paid at minimum wage . '' Minimum wage levels by jurisdiction ( edit ) Assuming a 40 - hour workweek and 52 paid weeks a year , the gross monthly income of an individual earning the lowest minimum wage in Canada is C $1,880.67 ( in Nova Scotia ) and the highest minimum wage is C $2,426.67 ( in Ontario ) . Similarly , the yearly gross income of an individual earning the lowest minimum wage in Canada is C $22,568.00 ( in Nova Scotia ) and the highest minimum wage is C $29,120.80 ( in Ontario ) . The following table lists the hourly minimum wages for adult workers in each province and territory of Canada . The provinces which have their minimum wages in bold allow for lower wages under circumstances which are described under the `` Comments '' heading . Note : The following table can be sorted by Jurisdiction , Wage , or Effective date using the icon . Jurisdiction Wage ( C $ / h ) Effective date Comments Indexation ( CPI means Statistics Canada 's all - items Consumer Price Index ) Federal -- -- December 18 , 1996 Canada had a federal minimum wage until 1996 , when it was abolished in favour of applying the provincial minimum wage to federally regulated industries . Alberta 13.60 October 1 , 2017 To be increased on October 1 , 2018 to $15.00 . British Columbia 11.35 September 15 , 2017 Liquor servers : $10.10 To be increased on June 1 , 2018 to $12.65 , on June 1 , 2019 to $13.85 , on June 1 , 2020 to $14.60 , and on June 1 , 2021 to $15.20 . Increases to the minimum wage for liquor servers have not yet been announced . Manitoba 11.15 October 1 , 2017 Security guards : $12.50 Workers in the construction industry ( industrial , commercial , institutional , or heavy construction sectors ) : rates based on occupational classification ( $33.40 for a boilermaker journeyperson , $36.30 for a bricklayer journeyperson , and $25.25 for a mobile crane operator ) Each October 1st , based on Manitoba CPI for the previous calendar year , unless the government decrees a freeze due to economic conditions . New Brunswick 11.00 April 1 , 2017 To be increased on April 1 , 2018 to $11.25 . Newfoundland and Labrador 11.00 October 1 , 2017 Northwest Territories 12.50 June 1 , 2015 To be increased on April 1 , 2018 to $13.46 . Nova Scotia 10.85 April 1 , 2017 Inexperienced workers ( less than three months employed in the type of work they are hired to do ) : $10.35 Each April 1st , based on Canada CPI for January through November of the previous calendar year . Nunavut 13.00 April 1 , 2016 Ontario 14.00 January 1 , 2018 Students ( under age 18 , working 28 hours or under per week while school is in session or work when there is a school break ) : $13.15 Liquor servers : $12.20 Homeworkers ( includes students and supersedes the student wage ) : $15.40 To be increased on January 1 , 2019 to $15.00 ( above amounts adjusted proportionally ) . Each October 1st ( resuming in 2019 ) , based on Ontario CPI for the previous calendar year . Prince Edward Island 11.25 April 1 , 2017 To be increased on April 1 , 2018 to $11.55 . Québec 11.25 May 1 , 2017 Workers receiving gratuities : $9.45 To be increased on May 1 , 2018 to $12 ( $9.80 for workers receiving gratuities ) . The government previously announced that the minimum wage would increase on May 1 , 2019 to $12.10 , and on May 1 , 2020 to $12.45 ( $9.80 and $9.95 respectively for workers receiving gratuities ) . Saskatchewan 10.96 October 1 , 2017 Each October 1st , based on the average of the changes in the Saskatchewan CPI and in the average hourly wage in Saskatchewan as measured by Statistics Canada for the previous year , subject to Cabinet approval . Yukon 11.32 April 1 , 2017 Each April 1st , based on Whitehorse CPI for the previous calendar year . Criticism ( edit ) Some critics of the current minimum wage levels in Canada argue that they are insufficient and advocate that the minimum wage is increased to what they consider a living wage . The New Democratic Party in 2007 called for a separate federal minimum wage of C $10 per hour ; however , such a change could not be enforced on any employer operating under provincial jurisdiction , unless the province voluntarily agreed to harmonize its own minimum wage with the federal government . On October 1 , 2009 , M.P. Irene Mathyssen introduced a private member 's bill ( C - 448 ) to amend the Canada Labour Code with regard to the minimum wage and have the federal minimum wage set to C $12 per hour . Other critics , such as the Canadian Federation of Independent Business and the C.D. Howe Institute , contend that minimum wage laws actually hurt the very people they purport to help by forcing employers to raise prices , reduce staff , or close down .

Clarke Case opinions Majority Holmes , joined by unanimous Laws applied U.S. Const . amend . I ; 50 U.S.C. § 33 Overruled by Brandenburg v. Ohio , 395 U.S. 444 ( 1969 ) Schenck v. United States , 249 U.S. 47 ( 1919 ) , is a United States Supreme Court case concerning enforcement of the Espionage Act of 1917 during World War I. A unanimous Supreme Court , in an opinion by Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes Jr. , concluded that defendants who distributed fliers to draft - age men , urging resistance to induction , could be convicted of an attempt to obstruct the draft , a criminal offense . The First Amendment did not alter the well - established law in cases where the attempt was made through expressions that would be protected in other circumstances . In this opinion , Holmes said that expressions which in the circumstances were intended to result in a crime , and posed a `` clear and present danger '' of succeeding , could be punished . The Court did n't continue to follow this reasoning to uphold a series of convictions arising out of prosecutions during wartime , but Holmes began to dissent in the case of Abrams v. United States , insisting that the Court had departed from the standard he had crafted for them , and had begun to allow punishment for ideas . But the Court has set another line of precedents to govern cases in which the constitutionality of a statute is challenged on its face . Contents ( hide ) 1 Background 2 The Court 's decision 3 Subsequent jurisprudence 4 See also 5 References 6 Further reading 7 External links Background ( edit ) Schenck v. United States was the first in a line of Supreme Court Cases defining the modern understanding of the First Amendment . Supreme Court Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes , Jr. wrote the often - cited opinion in the case , because of events that were not publicly known at the time . The United States ' entry into the First World War had caused deep divisions in society , and was vigorously opposed , especially by those on the radical left and by those who had ties to Ireland or Germany . The Woodrow Wilson Administration launched a broad campaign of criminal enforcement that resulted in thousands of prosecutions . Many of these were for trivial acts of dissent . In the first case arising from this campaign to come before the Court , Baltzer v. United States , the defendants had signed a petition criticizing their governor 's administration of the draft , threatening him with defeat at the polls . They were charged with obstructing the recruitment and enlistment service , and convicted . When a majority of the Court voted during their conference to affirm the conviction , Holmes quickly drafted and circulated a strongly worded dissenting opinion : Real obstructions of the law , giving real aid and comfort to the enemy , I should have been glad to see punished more summarily and severely than they sometimes were . But I think that our intention to put out all our powers in aid of success in war should not hurry us into intolerance of opinions and speech that could not be imagined to do harm , although opposed to our own . It is better for those who have unquestioned and almost unlimited power in their hands to err on the side of freedom . Rather than proceed in the face of Holmes 's biting dissent , Chief Justice Edward Douglass White set the case aside and word of the situation evidently reached the Administration , because the prosecution was abandoned . White then asked Holmes to write the opinion for a unanimous Court in the next case , one in which they could agree , Schenck v. United States . Holmes wrote that opinion , and wrote again for a unanimous court upholding convictions in two more cases that spring , Frohwerk v. United States and Debs v. United States , establishing what remains the standard for deciding the constitutionality of criminal convictions based on expressive behavior . Holmes disliked legislative - style formulas , and did not repeat the language of `` clear and present danger '' in any subsequent opinion , however . The Schenck opinion alone accordingly is often cited as the source of this legal standard , and some scholars have suggested that Holmes changed his mind and offered a different view in his equally famous dissent in Abrams v. United States . The events leading to the assignment of the Schenck opinion to Holmes were discovered when Holmes 's biographer Sheldon Novick unearthed the unpublished Baltzer opinion among Holmes 's papers at Harvard Law School . Obverse Reverse The leaflet at issue in Schenck v. United States The facts of the Schenck Case were as follows . Charles Schenck and Elizabeth Baer were members of the Executive Committee of the Socialist Party in Philadelphia , of which Schenck was General Secretary . The executive committee authorized , and Schenck oversaw , printing and mailing more than 15,000 fliers to men slated for conscription during World War I . The fliers urged men not to submit to the draft , saying `` Do not submit to intimidation '' , `` Assert your rights '' , `` If you do not assert and support your rights , you are helping to deny or disparage rights which it is the solemn duty of all citizens and residents of the United States to retain , '' and urged men not to comply with the draft on the grounds that military conscription constituted involuntary servitude , which is prohibited by the Thirteenth Amendment . After jury trials Schenck and Baer were convicted of violating Section 3 of the Espionage Act of 1917 . Both defendants appealed to the United States Supreme Court , arguing that their conviction , and the statute which purported to authorize it , were contrary to the First Amendment . They relied heavily on the text of the First Amendment , and their claim that the Espionage Act of 1917 had what today one would call a `` chilling effect '' on free discussion of the war effort . The Court 's decision ( edit ) The Court , in a unanimous opinion written by Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes , Jr. , held that Schenck 's criminal conviction was constitutional . The statute only applied to successful obstructions of the draft , but common - law precedents allowed prosecution for attempts that were dangerously close to success . Attempts made by speech or writing could be punished like other attempted crimes ; the First Amendment did not protect speech encouraging men to resist induction , because , `` when a nation is at war , many things that might be said in time of peace are such a hindrance to its effort that their utterance will not be endured so long as men fight , and that no Court could regard them as protected by any constitutional right . '' In other words , the court held , the circumstances of wartime allow greater restrictions on free speech than would be allowed during peacetime , if only because new and greater dangers are present . The opinion 's most famous and most often quoted passage was this : The most stringent protection of free speech would not protect a man in falsely shouting fire in a theatre and causing a panic . ( ... ) The question in every case is whether the words used are used in such circumstances and are of such a nature as to create a clear and present danger that they will bring about the substantive evils that Congress has a right to prevent . The phrase `` shouting fire in a crowded theater '' has since become a popular metaphor for dangers or limitations of free speech . Subsequent jurisprudence ( edit ) In subsequent cases , when it appeared to him that the Court was departing from the precedents established in Schenck and companion cases , Holmes dissented , reiterating his view that expressions of honest opinion were entitled to near absolute protection , but that expressions made with the specific intent to cause a criminal harm , or that threatened a clear and present danger of such harm , could be punished . In Abrams v. United States , he elaborated on the common - law privileges for freedom of speech and of the press , and stated his conviction that freedom of opinion was central to the constitutional scheme because competition in the `` marketplace '' of ideas was the best test of their truth . In Whitney v. California ( 1927 ) , concerning a conviction for seditious speech forbidden by California law , Holmes joined a concurring opinion written by Justice Louis D. Brandeis once again explaining the clear - and - present - danger standard for criminal attempts in these terms , reiterating the argument that political speech was protected because of the value of democratic deliberation . The Supreme Court continued to affirm convictions for seditious speech in a series of prosecutions of leftists , however , culminating in Dennis v. United States , 341 U.S. 494 ( 1951 ) in which a bitterly divided Court upheld the sedition convictions for the leaders of the Communist Party . Judge Learned Hand in the court below and Chief Justice Vinson for the plurality in the Supreme Court cited Schenck , and the language of `` clear and present danger '' accordingly fell into disfavor among the advocates of free speech and freedom of the press . A unanimous Court in a brief per curiam opinion in Brandenburg v. Ohio ( 1969 ) , abandoned the disfavored language while seemingly applying the reasoning of Schenck to reverse the conviction of a Ku Klux Klan member prosecuted for giving an inflammatory speech . The Court said that speech could be prosecuted only when it posed a danger of `` imminent lawless action , '' a formulation which is sometimes said to reflect Holmes reasoning as more fully explicated in his Abrams dissent , rather than the common law of attempts explained in Schenck . Brandenburg is also taken to have repudiated the clear - and - present - danger standard as construed in Dennis , and to have adopted something more like the explication given by Holmes and Brandeis in subsequent opinions . Partly because the standard for protecting expressive behavior under the First Amendment was stated differently in his different opinions , `` revisionist '' scholars have argued that Holmes changed his mind in the summer of 1919 , and that after writing three opinions for a unanimous court , he stated a different and more liberal view in his Abrams dissent a few weeks later . Bolstered by this argument , a number of advocates for freedom of expression have insisted that the Supreme Court has rejected Schenck and the majority opinion in Abrams , and in practice has followed the reasoning of Holmes ' Abrams dissent and Brandeis ' and Holmes ' concurring opinion in Whitney . The Court has repeatedly reaffirmed Schenck , however , holding that the destruction of a draft card could be prosecuted as a violation of Selective Service regulations even though carried out as a protest ( United States v. O'Brien ) , but that burning an American flag at a protest could not be prosecuted because it posed no danger of causing a harm that the legislature had power to forbid ( Texas v. Johnson ) . In 2010 , the Supreme Court rejected the argument of Holmes 's Abrams dissent . The facts in Holder v. Humanitarian Law Project were similar to those in Abrams : persons who planned to advocate the causes of Sri Lankan and Kurdish organizations , designated terrorist groups , had a reasonable fear of prosecution under the USA PATRIOT Act , 18 U.S.C. Section 2339B , for providing material support for terrorist organizations . The Supreme Court held that such prosecutions were not barred by the First Amendment , expressly rejecting the argument that a `` specific intent '' to assist terrorist acts was required , rejecting also the claim of the dissenting justices that the case was governed by the concurrence in Whitney , or by the standard stated in Brandenburg . Finally , in Citizens United v. FEC , the majority of the Court rejected the argument made by the dissenters that the First Amendment was premised on the value of democratic deliberation in the `` marketplace of ideas . '' Instead , they held that First Amendment rights are individual , not based on communitarian considerations . As the precedents stand at present , therefore , it appears that Schenck is still good law . Criminal attempts may be prosecuted even if carried out solely through expressive behavior , and a majority of the justices continue to view such prosecutions in the light of the majority opinion in Abrams : the Court will defer to legislative judgments , at least in national security matters , that some forms of political advocacy may be prosecuted .

( July 2015 ) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message ) Pan de Muerto Alternative names Bread of the dead Type Sweet bread Place of origin Mexico Cookbook : Pan de Muerto Media : Pan de Muerto A basket of pan de muerto Pan de muerto ( Spanish for bread of the dead ) , also called pan de los muertos or dead bread in the United States , is a type of sweet roll traditionally baked in Mexico during the weeks leading up to the Día de Muertos , which is celebrated on November 1 and 2 . It is a sweetened soft bread shaped like a bun , often decorated with bone - shaped phalanges pieces . Pan de muerto is eaten on Día de Muertos , at the gravesite or altar of the deceased . In some regions , it is eaten for months before the official celebration of Dia de Muertos . In Oaxaca , pan de muerto is the same bread that is usually baked , with the addition of decorations . As part of the celebration , loved ones eat pan de muerto as well as the relative 's favorite foods . The bones represent the deceased one ( difuntos or difuntas ) and there is normally a baked tear drop on the bread to represent goddess Chimalma 's tears for the living . The bones are represented in a circle to portray the circle of life . The bread is topped with sugar . This bread can be found in Mexican grocery stores in the U.S. The classic recipe for pan de muerto is a simple sweet bread recipe , often with the addition of anise seeds , and other times flavored with orange flower water or orange zest . Other variations are made depending on the region or the baker . The one baking the bread will usually wear decorated wrist bands , a tradition which was originally practiced to protect from burns on the stove or oven . Bread of the Dead usually has skulls or crossbones engraved on it . It is believed the spirits do n't eat , but absorb its essence , along with water at their `` ofrenda , '' which is not really an altar , but kind of , after their long journey back to Earth . Contents ( hide ) 1 Regional variations 2 See also 3 References 4 External links Regional variations ( edit ) In Mexico City , the bread is called hojaldra , with some communities using pink sugar . In Mixquic , despeinadas ( literally , ' unkempt ones ' ) are made with sprinkles and sesame seeds . Muertes ( ' deaths ' ) , made in the State of Mexico , are made with a mix of sweet and plain dough with a small amount of cinnamon . Other types in the region include gorditas de maíz , aparejos de huevo ( ' egg sinkers ' , apparently after fishing weights ) and huesos ( ' bones ' ) . In Michoacan , breads include pan de ofrenda ( ' offering bread ' ) , the shiny pan de hule , ( ' rubber bread ' ) and corn - based corundas , made with tomato sauce and chile de árbol .

"Pan de muerto (Spanish for bread of the dead), also called pan de los muertos or dead bread in the United States, is a type of sweet roll traditionally baked in Mexico during the weeks leading up to the Día de Muertos, which is celebrated on November 1 and 2.[1] It is a sweetened soft bread shaped like a bun, often decorated with bone-shaped phalanges pieces. Pan de muerto is eaten on Día de Muertos, at the gravesite or altar of the deceased. In some regions, it is eaten for months before the official celebration of Dia de Muertos. In Oaxaca, pan de muerto is the same bread that is usually baked, with the addition of decorations. As part of the celebration, loved ones eat pan de muerto as well as the relative's favorite foods. The bones represent the deceased one (difuntos or difuntas) and there is normally a baked tear drop on the bread to represent goddess Chimalma's tears for the living. The bones are represented in a circle to portray the circle of life. The bread is topped with sugar. This bread can be found in Mexican grocery stores in the U.S."

16766548023959660 | Bonding in solids | Bonding in solids - wikipedia Bonding in solids Jump to : navigation , search Solids can be classified according to the nature of the bonding between their atomic or molecular components . The traditional classification distinguishes four kinds of bonding : Covalent bonding , which forms network covalent solids ( sometimes called simply `` covalent solids '' ) Ionic bonding , which forms ionic solids Metallic bonding , which forms metallic solids Weak inter molecular bonding , which forms molecular solids ( sometimes anomalously called `` covalent solids '' ) Typical members of these classes have distinctive electron distributions , thermodynamic , electronic , and mechanical properties . In particular , the binding energies of these interactions vary widely . Bonding in solids can be of mixed or intermediate kinds , however , hence not all solids have the typical properties of a particular class , and some can be described as intermediate forms . Contents ( hide ) 1 Basic classes of solids 1.1 Network covalent solids 1.1. 1 Properties 1.2 Ionic solids 1.3 Metallic solids 1.4 Molecular solids 2 Solids of intermediate kinds 2.1 Ionic to network covalent 2.2 Metallic to network covalent 2.3 Molecular to network covalent 2.4 Molecular to ionic 2.5 Metallic to molecular 2.6 Metallic to ionic 3 References 4 External links 5 See also Basic classes of solids ( edit ) Network covalent solids ( edit ) See also : Network solid A network covalent solid consists of atoms held together by a network of covalent bonds ( pairs of electrons shared between atoms of similar electronegativity ) , and hence can be regarded as a single , large molecule . The classic example is diamond ; other examples include silicon , quartz and graphite . Properties ( edit ) High strength High elastic modulus High melting point Brittle Their strength , stiffness , and high melting points are consequences of the strength and stiffness of the covalent bonds that hold them together . They are also characteristically brittle because the directional nature of covalent bonds strongly resists the shearing motions associated with plastic flow , and are , in effect , broken when shear occurs . This property results in brittleness for reasons studied in the field of fracture mechanics . Network covalent solids vary from insulating to semiconducting in their behavior , depending on the band gap of the material . Ionic solids ( edit ) A standard ionic solid consists of atoms held together by ionic bonds , that is by the electrostatic attraction of opposite charges ( the result of transferring electrons from atoms with lower electronegativity to atoms with higher electronegativity ) . Among the ionic solids are compounds formed by alkali and alkaline earth metals in combination with halogens ; a classic example is table salt , sodium chloride . Ionic solids are typically of intermediate strength and extremely brittle . Melting points are typically moderately high , but some combinations of molecular cations and anions yield an ionic liquid with a freezing point below room temperature . Vapour pressures in all instances are extraordinarily low ; this is a consequence of the large energy required to move a bare charge ( or charge pair ) from an ionic medium into free space . Metallic solids ( edit ) Metallic solids are held together by a high density of shared , delocalized electrons , resulting in metallic bonding . Classic examples are metals such as copper and aluminum , but some materials are metals in an electronic sense but have negligible metallic bonding in a mechanical or thermodynamic sense ( see intermediate forms ) . Metallic solids have , by definition , no band gap at the Fermi level and hence are conducting . Solids with purely metallic bonding are characteristically ductile and , in their pure forms , have low strength ; melting points can be very low ( e.g. , Mercury melts at 234 K ( − 39 ° C ) . These properties are consequences of the non-directional and non-polar nature of metallic bonding , which allows atoms ( and planes of atoms in a crystal lattice ) to move past one another without disrupting their bonding interactions . Metals can be strengthened by introducing crystal defects ( for example , by alloying ) that interfere with the motion of dislocations that mediate plastic deformation . Further , some transition metals exhibit directional bonding in addition to metallic bonding ; this increases shear strength and reduces ductility , imparting some of the characteristics of a covalent solid ( an intermediate case below ) . Molecular solids ( edit ) A classic molecular solid consists of small , non-polar covalent molecules , and is held together by London dispersion forces ( van der Waals forces ) ; a classic example is paraffin wax . These forces are weak , resulting in pairwise interatomic binding energies on the order of 1 / 100 those of covalent , ionic , and metallic bonds . Binding energies tend to increase with increasing molecular size and polarity ( see intermediate forms ) . Solids that are composed of small , weakly bound molecules are mechanically weak and have low melting points ; an extreme case is solid molecular hydrogen , which melts at 14 K ( − 259 ° C ) . The non-directional nature of dispersion forces typically allows easy plastic deformation , as planes of molecules can slide over one another without seriously disrupting their attractive interactions . Molecular solids are typically insulators with large band gaps . Solids of intermediate kinds ( edit ) The four classes of solids permit six pairwise intermediate forms : Ionic to network covalent ( edit ) Covalent and ionic bonding form a continuum , with ionic character increasing with increasing difference in the electronegativity of the participating atoms . Covalent bonding corresponds to sharing of a pair of electrons between two atoms of essentially equal electronegativity ( for example , C -- C and C -- H bonds in aliphatic hydrocarbons ) . As bonds become more polar , they become increasingly ionic in character . Metal oxides vary along the iono - covalent spectrum . The Si -- O bonds in quartz , for example , are polar yet largely covalent , and are considered to be of mixed character . Metallic to network covalent ( edit ) What is in most respects a purely covalent structure can support metallic delocalization of electrons ; metallic carbon nanotubes are one example . Transition metals and intermetallic compounds based on transition metals can exhibit mixed metallic and covalent bonding , resulting in high shear strength , low ductility , and elevated melting points ; a classic example is tungsten . Molecular to network covalent ( edit ) Materials can be intermediate between molecular and network covalent solids either because of the intermediate organization of their covalent bonds , or because the bonds themselves are of an intermediate kind . Intermediate organization of covalent bonds : Regarding the organization of covalent bonds , recall that classic molecular solids , as stated above , consist of small , non-polar covalent molecules . The example given , paraffin wax , is a member of a family of hydrocarbon molecules of differing chain lengths , with high - density polyethylene at the long - chain end of the series . High - density polyethylene can be a strong material : when the hydrocarbon chains are well aligned , the resulting fibers rival the strength of steel . The covalent bonds in this material form extended structures , but do not form a continuous network . With cross-linking , however , polymer networks can become continuous , and a series of materials spans the range from Cross-linked polyethylene , to rigid thermosetting resins , to hydrogen - rich amorphous solids , to vitreous carbon , diamond - like carbons , and ultimately to diamond itself . As this example shows , there can be no sharp boundary between molecular and network covalent solids . Intermediate kinds of bonding : A solid with extensive hydrogen bonding will be considered a molecular solid , yet strong hydrogen bonds can have a significant degree of covalent character . As noted above , covalent and ionic bonds form a continuum between shared and transferred electrons ; covalent and weak bonds form a continuum between shared and unshared electrons . In addition , molecules can be polar , or have polar groups , and the resulting regions of positive and negative charge can interact to produce electrostatic bonding resembling that in ionic solids . Molecular to ionic ( edit ) A large molecule with an ionized group is technically an ion , but its behavior may be largely the result of non-ionic interactions . For example , sodium stearate ( the main constituent of traditional soaps ) consists entirely of ions , yet it is a soft material quite unlike a typical ionic solid . There is a continuum between ionic solids and molecular solids with little ionic character in their bonding . Metallic to molecular ( edit ) Metallic solids are bound by a high density of shared , delocalized electrons . Although weakly bound molecular components are incompatible with strong metallic bonding , low densities of shared , delocalized electrons can impart varying degrees of metallic bonding and conductivity overlaid on discrete , covalently bonded molecular units , especially in reduced - dimensional systems . Examples include charge transfer complexes . Metallic to ionic ( edit ) The charged components that make up ionic solids can not exist in the high - density sea of delocalized electrons characteristic of strong metallic bonding . Some molecular salts , however , feature both ionic bonding among molecules and substantial one - dimensional conductivity , indicating a degree of metallic bonding among structural components along the axis of conductivity . Examples include tetrathiafulvalene salts . References ( edit ) Jump up ^ Maksic , Zvonimir ( 1990 ) . `` The Concept of the Chemical Bond in Solids '' . Theoretical Models of Chemical Bonding .

He is the youngest of five children who is frequently tormented by his older brothers and sisters . After events transpire between him and his family , he wishes he had no family when his mother is punishing him for what he feels are unjustified reasons . She warns him to be careful what he wishes for and he ignores it . He wakes up the next day to discover he is the only one left in the house . He thinks his wish came true and that he is finally alone without his obnoxious family . In reality , he was left home by mistake . His family is en route to France for a holiday trip . While his parents realize their mistake and scramble to get back to the United States , Harry and Marv , a pair of thieves known as the `` Wet Bandits '' , attempt to rob the house and Kevin must foil them with a collection of homemade booby traps . They get arrested at the end of the film . The film became the highest - grossing film of 1990 , grossing $476,684,675 worldwide . Despite a mixed reception from critics , it was popular with audiences . It was also nominated for two Academy Awards ; Best Original Score for John Williams and Best Original Song for `` Somewhere in My Memory '' , music by Williams and lyrics by Leslie Bricusse , losing to Dances with Wolves and Dick Tracy , respectively . Macaulay Culkin 's performance garnered him a Golden Globe Award nomination for Best Actor -- Motion Picture Musical or Comedy but lost to Gérard Depardieu for his performance in Green Card . Home Alone 2 : Lost in New York ( 1992 ) ( edit ) Main article : Home Alone 2 : Lost in New York Set one year after the first film , Kevin McCallister ( Macaulay Culkin ) loses track of his father at the airport . He then mistakenly gets on a plane headed for New York City while the rest of the McCallisters fly to Florida . Now alone in the Big Apple , Kevin cons his way into a room at the Plaza Hotel and begins his usual antics . But when Kevin discovers that the Wet Bandits ( Joe Pesci , Daniel Stern ) are on the loose , he struggles to stop them from robbing an elderly man 's toy store just before Christmas . Home Alone 3 ( 1997 ) ( edit ) Main article : Home Alone 3 This film does not revolve around Kevin , but centers on Alex Pruitt , a young boy who is home alone with the chickenpox , but soon recovers . At the same time , four burglars working for a North Korean terrorist group are sent by their boss to retrieve a top - secret microchip that can act as a cloaking device for a missile . They succeed in retrieving it and hide it in a remote controlled car , but due to a luggage mix - up at the airport with the Pruitts ' neighbor Mrs. Hess , the car lands in the hands of Alex , who is given the car for shoveling the snow in her driveway . The burglars begin systematically searching every house on his street . Once they realize he has the chip , they prepare to invade his house . He devises elaborate traps and bamboozles the four crooks with the help of his pet rat , his brother 's pet parrot , and some intricate tripwires , all the while monitoring them with a video camera on the race car . The film was nominated for a Golden Raspberry Award for Worst Remake or Sequel , eventually losing the award to Speed 2 : Cruise Control . Home Alone 4 ( 2002 ) ( edit ) Main article : Home Alone 4 The fourth installment was directed by Rod Daniel and premiered as a television film on ABC on November 3 , 2002 . This film returns to the original 's main character , Kevin ( played by Mike Weinberg ) , and one of the two Sticky Bandits , Marv ( played by French Stewart ) . Kevin 's parents have separated , and he lives with his mother . He decides to go spend Christmas with his father and his rich girlfriend , Natalie , but finds himself having to deal with his old nemesis Marv , and his new sidekick wife , Vera ( played by Missi Pyle ) , who replaces Harry since he and Marv put their partnership to an end .

The purpose of the game is to escape the Wet Bandits while bringing all the McCallister 's fortunes from the house down to the safe room in the basement . Once all items have been sent down the chute to the basement Kevin must make it past rats , bats , and ghosts he encounters in the basement , then fight the spider king so he can make it to the safe room to lock away all his families riches . In the Home Alone game for the PC , the player must set up traps to hurt the Wet Bandits . In the Home Alone title for the NES , the player must avoid being caught by the Wet Bandits for 20 minutes . During this time , he can set various traps using items around the house , each with a different corresponding strength and allowing the Bandit tripping them to be knocked unconscious longer . Kevin can also hide behind certain parts of the house , but only for two consecutive turns ; any other concurrent passings will result in a game over . Each version of the game is an example of the trap - em - up genre , which also includes games like Heiankyo Alien , Space Panic , and Lode Runner . The Home Alone Genesis and Game Gear titles take a different approach from the story ; while the plot still revolves around Kevin 's battle with the Wet Bandits , he instead must protect several houses in his neighborhood while waiting 20 minutes for the police to arrive ( 40 on higher difficulties ) . During the game , the Wet Bandits drive around the neighborhood in their non-descript van until they decide to enter the house . Kevin can travel by sled ( in a top - view format ) to the various houses and do battle with the Bandits as they proceed to rob whatever house they are in ( in a 2D platform / side scroller format ) . When this happens , Kevin must fight them off with different weapons and guns in order to fill up an empty Pain Meter ; when he does so , he will have saved that particular house and cause the Bandits to retreat . During this time , however , another meter will be filled depending on how much the Bandits have stolen , and if Kevin is unsuccessful in stopping them ( thereby filling that particular meter ) , the house will become `` frozen '' and he will be unable to reenter the house again . If all the houses end up frozen , the game is over . Kevin starts with a simple BB gun , but he also finds different items he can combine to make various firearms that do different effects depending on the ammunition ( glue , snow , light bulbs , sound waves , coals , etc . ) and gun type ( rifle : flies the farthest and fastest ; bazooka : flies slower and at a shorter distance ; launch : fires the weapon at a small , short arc ; mortar : fires the weapon at a high , but short arc . ) Each gun has a specific amount of ammunition , but collecting other ammo items after the completion of certain guns will refill the ammo supply . Should Kevin enter a house before the Bandits , he can lay down several traps throughout the house ( keeping with the game 's movie tie - in theme ) to help increase the Pain Meter and make protecting the house easier . If any of the Bandits end up capturing Kevin , he will he strung up on a wall while they continue robbing the house , but he can fidget and drop from the wall to continue defending the house . The game starts with one difficulty level , but a harder one can be unlocked . In the hard difficulty , Kevin must wait for 40 minutes for the police to arrive and the bandits ' van will drive faster from house to house , but he will be able to create newer and more powerful guns to fight them off . Home Alone 2 : Lost in New York ( 1992 -- 1993 ) ( edit ) Main article : Home Alone 2 : Lost in New York ( video game ) Home Alone 2 : Lost in New York was released on the Super NES , NES , and Game Boy in 1992 , and the PC , Sega Genesis , and NES in 1993 . Though it is based on the film in terms of plot and additional dialogue , the game was different from the film . The NES port uses sound effects from the early 1990s Simpsons games ; Bart vs. the Space Mutants for example . The Super NES version , while boasting a soundtrack with the Super NES traditionally realistic sounding instrument synth , suffered due to slightly post-8 - bit graphics and sound effects , as well as a disjointed feel of incontinuity between stages . The NES version has four different levels , the first of which is the Plaza Hotel . Kevin races through various floors and rooms collecting power - ups and avoiding the hotel staff , crazy guests and runaway vacuum cleaners and suitcases . Before he can escape , however , he has to deal with two bosses : the ever - persistent House Detective and the Master Chef . The next level takes place in Central Park , and is similar to the Plaza Hotel : Kevin collects his goodies while avoiding rats , bats and assorted thugs . The third level takes place in Kevin 's uncle 's three - story Townhouse . This time Kevin has to avoid Harry and Marv , and sets up several booby - traps to keep the Sticky Bandits ( Marv changes their name in the film ) at bay . While doing so , Kevin must also find keys that will allow him to escape to the next floor , and ultimately the Rooftop . Once he 's on the roof , Kevin escapes to the streets of New York with the Bandits hot on his tail , until he reaches the giant Rockefeller Center Christmas Tree . It 's here where he gets help from the Pigeon Lady to defeat Harry and Marv , have them sent back to jail , and finally reunite with his family . The game got negative reception from Electronic Gaming Monthly . Home Alone ( 2006 ) ( edit ) Home Alone is an action game based on the first film and released in Europe only . The game was published by Blast ! Entertainment Limited and released for the PlayStation 2 on December 1 , 2006 . The game features 10 levels , each taking place inside a house . The player chooses from one of four playable characters : Carl , Carly , Kelly or Kevin . The player 's goal is to use objects to defeat burglars attempting to break into the house . The game includes a two - player option .

The games are planned to be held from 24 July to 9 August 2020 in Tokyo . The city was announced as the host at the 125th IOC Session in Buenos Aires on 7 September 2013 . It will also become the largest city ever in Asia to host the Summer Olympics , a distinction currently held by Seoul , which hosted the 1988 Summer Olympics . It will be the second time that Tokyo hosts the Olympics ; it previously hosted the 1964 games .

Host city election ( edit ) The then - mayor of Buenos Aires ( and now President of Argentina ) Mauricio Macri speaking at the 125th IOC Session . The IOC voted to select the host city of the 2020 Summer Olympics on 7 September 2013 at the 125th IOC Session at the Buenos Aires Hilton in Buenos Aires , Argentina . An exhaustive ballot system was used . No city won over 50 % of the votes in the first round , and Madrid and Istanbul were tied for second place . A run - off vote between these two cities was held to determine which would be eliminated . In the final vote , a head - to - head contest between Tokyo and Istanbul , Tokyo was selected by 60 votes to 36 . 2020 Summer Olympics host city election City NOC name Round 1 Runoff Round 2 Tokyo Japan 42 -- 60 Istanbul Turkey 26 49 36 Madrid Spain 26 45 -- Development and preparation ( edit ) The Tokyo metropolitan government set aside a fund of 400 billion Japanese yen ( over 3 billion USD ) to cover the cost of hosting the Games . The Japanese government is considering increasing slot capacity at both Haneda Airport and Narita International Airport by easing airspace restrictions . A new railway line is planned to link both airports through an expansion of Tokyo Station , cutting travel time from Tokyo Station to Haneda from 30 minutes to 18 minutes , and from Tokyo Station to Narita from 55 minutes to 36 minutes ; the line would cost 400 billion yen and would be funded primarily by private investors . But East Japan Railway Company ( East JR ) is planning a new route near Tamachi to Haneda Airport . Funding is also planned to accelerate completion of the Central Circular Route , Tokyo Gaikan Expressway and Ken - Ō Expressway , and to refurbish other major expressways in the area . There are also plans to extend the Yurikamome automated transit line from its existing terminal at Toyosu Station to a new terminal at Kachidoki Station , passing the site of the Olympic Village , although the Yurikamome would still not have adequate capacity to serve major events in the Odaiba area on its own . The Organizing Committee is headed by former Prime Minister Yoshiro Mori . Olympic and Paralympic Minister Shunichi Suzuki is overseeing the preparations on behalf of the Japanese government . Venues and infrastructure ( edit ) Olympic Banner 2020 The Tokyo Big Sight Conference Tower would be used as the International Broadcast Center & Party Venue . View of the Rainbow Bridge from Odaiba Marine Park It was confirmed in February 2012 that the Olympic Stadium in Tokyo would be demolished and reconstructed , and receive a £ 1 billion upgrade for the 2019 Rugby World Cup as well as the 2020 Olympics . As a result , a design competition for the new stadium was launched . In November 2012 , the Japan Sport Council announced that out of 46 finalists , Zaha Hadid Architects was awarded the design for the new stadium . Plans included dismantling the original stadium , and expanding the capacity from 50,000 to a modern Olympic capacity of about 80,000 . However , Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe announced in July 2015 that plans to build the New National Stadium would be scrapped and rebid on amid public discontent over the stadium 's building costs . In Autumn 2015 a new design by Kengo Kuma was approved as winning project of new stadium design competition which decreased the capacity to between 60,000 -- 80,000 depending by event 28 of the 33 competition venues in Tokyo are within 8 kilometres ( 4.97 miles ) of the Olympic Village . 11 new venues are to be constructed . It was reported in September 2016 that a review panel said that the cost of hosting the Olympics and Paralympics could quadruple from the original estimate , and therefore proposed a major overhaul to the current plan to reduce costs , including moving venues outside Tokyo . Heritage zone ( edit ) Seven venues will be located within the central business area of Tokyo , northwest of the Olympic Village . Several of these venues were also used for the 1964 Summer Olympics .

The Games ( edit ) Sports ( edit ) The official programme for the 2020 Summer Olympics was approved by the IOC executive board on 9 June 2017 . The games will feature 339 events in 33 sports ; alongside the 5 new sports that will be introduced in Tokyo , there will be 15 new events within existing sports , including 3 - on - 3 basketball , freestyle BMX and Madison cycling , and new mixed events in several sports . Thomas Bach stated that the goal for Tokyo was for the Games to be `` more youthful , more urban and include more women '' .

In effect , this would involve the dropping of one sport from the 2016 Games program . This would leave a single vacancy in the 2020 Games program , which the IOC would seek to fill from a shortlist containing seven unrepresented sports and the removed sport . On 12 February 2013 , IOC leaders voted to drop wrestling from the Olympic program , a surprise decision that removed one of the oldest Olympic sports from the 2020 Games . Wrestling , which combines freestyle and Greco - Roman events , goes back to the inaugural modern Olympics in Athens in 1896 , and even further to the Ancient Olympic Games . The decision to drop wrestling was opposed in many countries and by their NOCs . Wrestling therefore joined other sports in a short list applying for inclusion in the 2020 Games . On 29 May 2013 , it was announced that three sports made the final shortlist ; squash , baseball / softball , and wrestling . Five other sports ( karate , roller sports , sport climbing , wakeboarding , and wushu ) were excluded from consideration at this point . On 8 September 2013 , at the 125th IOC Session , the IOC selected wrestling to be included in the Olympic program for 2020 and 2024 . Wrestling secured 49 votes , while baseball / softball secured 24 votes and squash got 22 votes . Under new IOC policies that shift the Games to an `` event - based '' programme rather than sport - based , the host organizing committee can now also propose the addition of sports to the programme . This rule is designed so that sports popular in the host country can be added to the programme to improve local interest . As a result of these changes , a new shortlist of eight sports was unveiled on 22 June 2015 , consisting of baseball / softball , bowling , karate , roller sports , sport climbing , squash , surfing , and wushu . On 28 September 2015 , organisers submitted their shortlist of five proposed sports to the IOC : baseball / softball , karate , sport climbing , surfing , and skateboarding . The five proposed sports were approved on 3 August 2016 by the IOC during the 129th IOC Session in Rio de Janeiro , Brazil , and will be included in the sports programme for 2020 only , bringing the total number of sports at the 2020 Olympics to 33 . Calendar ( edit ) All dates are in Tokyo Time ( UTC + 9 ) . This calendar is adapted from the candidature file and does not include sports added in 2016 .

Elementary school students will vote on the winning entry , with each participating elementary school allocated one vote , in the poll to be conducted between 11 December 2017 to 19 January 2018 . The results are anticipated by early February 2018 . Emblem ( edit ) The official emblems for the 2020 Olympics and Paralympics were unveiled on 25 April 2016 ; designed by Asao Tokoro , who won a nationwide design contest , it takes the form of a ring in an indigo - coloured checkerboard pattern . The design is meant to `` express a refined elegance and sophistication that exemplifies Japan '' . The designs replaced a previous emblem which had been scrapped due to allegations that it plagiarized the logo of a Belgian theatre . Media ( edit ) Sponsors ( edit ) As of 2015 total sponsorship for the 2020 Games reached approximately $1.3 billion , setting an Olympics record ( the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing attracted $1.2 billion ) . Concerns and controversies ( edit ) IAAF bribery claims ( edit ) In January 2016 , the second part of a World Anti-Doping Agency commission report into corruption included a footnote detailing a conversation between Khalil Diack , son of former International Athletic Association Federation ( IAAF ) president Lamine Diack , and Turkish officials heading up the Istanbul bid team . A transcript of the conversation cited in the report suggested that a `` sponsorship '' payment of between US $ 4 million and 5 million had been made by the Japanese bid team `` either to the Diamond League or IAAF '' . The footnote claimed that because Istanbul did not make such a payment , the bid lost the support of Lamine Diack . The WADA declined to investigate the claims because it was , according to its independent commission , outside the agency 's remit . In July and October 2013 ( prior to and after being awarded the Games ) , Tokyo made two bank payments totalling SG $ 2.8 million to a Singapore - based company known as Black Tidings . The company is tied to Papa Massata Diack , a son of Lamine Diack who worked as a marketing consultant for the IAAF , and is being pursued by French authorities under allegations of bribery , corruption , and money laundering . Black Tidings is held by Ian Tan Tong Han , a consultant to Athletics Management and Services -- which manages the IAAF 's commercial rights , and has business relationships with Japanese firm Dentsu . Black Tidings has also been connected to a doping scandal involving the Russian athletics team . Japanese Olympic Committee and Tokyo 2020 board member Tsunekazu Takeda stated that the payments were for consulting services , but refused to discuss the matter further because it was confidential . Toshiaki Endo called on Takeda to publicly discuss the matter . Massata denied that he had received any money from Tokyo 's organizing committee . The IOC established a team to investigate these matters , and will closely follow the French investigation . Logo plagiarism ( edit ) The initial design for the official emblems of the 2020 Summer Olympics and Paralympics were unveiled on 24 July 2015 . The logo resembled a stylized `` T '' ; a red circle in the top - right corner represented a beating heart , the flag of Japan , and an `` inclusive world in which everyone accepts each other '' , and a black column in the centre represented diversity . Shortly after the unveiling , Belgian graphics designer Olivier Debie accused the organizing committee of plagiarizing a logo he had designed for the Théâtre de Liège , which aside from the circle , consisted of nearly identical shapes . Tokyo 's organizing committee denied that the emblem design was plagiarized , arguing that the design had gone through `` long , extensive and international '' intellectual property examinations before it was cleared for use . Debie filed a lawsuit against the IOC to prevent use of the infringing logo . Rejected official logo of the 2020 Summer Olympics Rejected official logo of the 2020 Summer Paralympics . Logo of the Théâtre de Liège The emblem 's designer , Kenjiro Sano , defended the design , stating that he had never seen the Liège logo , while TOCOG released an early sketch of the design that emphasized a stylized `` T '' and did not resemble the Liège logo . However , Sano was found to have had a history of plagiarism , with others alleging his early design plagiarized work of Jan Tschichold , that he used a photo without permission in promotional materials for the emblem , along with other past cases . On 1 September 2015 , following an emergency meeting of TOCOG , Governor of Tokyo Yoichi Masuzoe announced that they had decided to scrap Sano 's two logos . The committee met on 2 September 2015 to decide how to approach another new logo design . On 24 November 2015 , an Emblems Selection Committee was established to organize an open call for design proposals , open to Japanese residents over the age of 18 , with a deadline set for 7 December 2015 . The winner would receive ¥ 1 million and tickets to the opening ceremonies of both the 2020 Summer Olympics and Paralympics . On 8 April 2016 , a new shortlist of four pairs of designs for the Olympics and Paralympics were unveiled by the Emblems Selection Committee ; the Committee 's selection -- with influence from a public poll , was presented to TOCOG on 25 April 2016 for final approval . Broadcasting ( edit ) Main article : List of 2020 Summer Olympics broadcasters Sony and Panasonic are partnering with NHK to develop broadcasting standards for 8K resolution television , with a goal to release 8K television sets in time for the 2020 Olympics . In the United States , the 2020 Summer Olympics will be broadcast by NBCUniversal properties , as part of a US $4.38 billion agreement that began at the 2014 Winter Olympics . Unlike being tape - delayed for the West Coast , as in past Olympics , NBC will air most prime time coverage in all time zones . In Europe , this will be the first Summer Olympics under the IOC 's exclusive pan-European rights deal with Discovery Communications , which will begin at the 2018 Winter Olympics . The rights for the 2020 Games cover almost all of Europe , excluding France due to an existing rights deal that will expire following these Games , and Russia . Discovery will sub-license coverage to free - to - air networks in each territory . In the United Kingdom , these will be the last Games whose rights are fully owned by the BBC , although as a condition of a sub-licensing agreement that will carry into the 2022 and 2024 Games , Discovery holds exclusive pay television rights to these Games .

The character was originated in 1985 by actress Kathleen Widdoes , who continued to appear on the program until June 29 , 2010 . Character history ( edit ) Emma Snyder raised five children alone after the untimely death of her husband . A farm girl , Emma ran the Snyder farm ( originally her family 's farm ) single - handedly . By the time her kids were practically grown though , the farm had fallen on hard times and was in danger of being foreclosed . At this time , only Emma 's youngest children , Holden and Meg were living at home . To help his mother , Holden began working as a stable boy for the wealthy Lucinda Walsh and ended up meeting her teenage daughter Lily , who ended up in a rivalry with Meg over Dusty Donovan . While trying to help her children sort out their romantic lives , Emma was still mourning the loss of her oldest daughter , Iva , who ran away at the age of thirteen . Emma could never understand why Iva ran away and why , now fifteen years later , she 'd never heard from her . Later , who showed up at Emma 's doorstep but Iva ? However , Emma was still hurt that Iva had never contacted the family and was n't quick to receive her back into the family . She was , however , very accepting of Lily Walsh and warmly welcomed her to stay at the farm , despite Lucinda 's disapproval . A year later , Emma and everyone else , learned the secret that caused Iva to run away years earlier . Apparently , while visiting her aunt and uncle in Kansas , a thirteen year old Iva was raped by her cousin , Josh . Upon learning she was pregnant , Iva ran off to Chicago to a home for unwed mothers where she gave birth to a daughter . That daughter was none other than Holden 's girlfriend , Lily ! While everyone was concerned that Holden was in love with his niece , Emma revealed some secrets of her own . First , the Snyders adopted Iva since her biological family , Carpenters , was too poor to take care of her . In addition , Josh was not Henry Snyder 's biological son , which meant that Holden and Lily were not really related at all . Soon after , Emma 's oldest child , Seth , returned home . An aspiring writer , Seth decided to forgo his dream in order to help his mother run the farm . Meanwhile , the remaining Snyder children , Caleb and Ellie , arrived from Chicago and became embroiled in their own intrigue . Throughout it all , Emma remained a stabilizing influence and gave her children unconditional support and love . While her children 's love lives were complicated , Emma 's was fairly simple . Having not dated since her husband died decades earlier , Emma finally accepted the attention of Dr. John Dixon . At the same time , the wealthy Cal Stricklyn ( Josh 's biological father ) attempted to woo her as well . Although she ended up choosing Cal , Emma felt that marrying again , even after all these years , would be betraying her husband . Years later , after some encouragement from Seth , Emma began a career as a romance novelist and began a relationship with her publisher , Ned Simon . Though that relationship showed promise , it ended when Ned , who was suddenly under stress , died of a cerebral hemorrhage . Immediately after , Emma was shocked to learn that Ned had murdered the man who had hurt his unstable daughter . Throughout the years , Emma has welcomed numerous people to stay with her at the farm . Though Angel Lange had divorced Holden , Emma sympathetically opened her home to her , just as she did for Lily years earlier . She also accepted Caleb 's wild wife , Julie Wendell , and instead of judging her , fully accepted her and tried to teach her to cook and let Julie 's son stay at the farm as well . Emma also opened her home to teenage runaway Rosanna Cabot who became like a member of the family . She also let Carly Tenney stay at the farm , first at the request of Rosanna and , years later , at the request of Carly 's estranged husband , Emma 's nephew Jack Snyder . Emma even allowed Meg to marry Josh at the farm after he 'd shown that he had reformed . The only person Emma has ever thrown out was Julia Larrabee who betrayed Emma 's goodwill by coming on to a married - but - separated Holden . Emma continued to be a source of advice and comfort for her whole family , including grandson Luke . When Emma learned that Luke was gay , she was more upset by the fact that Holden did n't trust her enough to tell her sooner as she was apparently the last in the family to know . Later , Emma permitted Luke 's boyfriend , Noah Mayer , to move into the farm but made it clear that the boys would be in separate rooms . Although her reasoning was that the boys were underage , Emma worried that her restriction might be misconstrued as intolerance , Holden assured his mother that she made the right decision . Emma also voiced disapproval when Meg became involved with the shady Paul Ryan . Since 2007 , Emma has done a lot of traveling and , subsequently , decided to sell the family farm in 2008 , keeping the house and a few acres of land . Emma was the staunchest supporter of Holden and Lily and saw them through many tribulations over the years . Though at times , the pair seemed poised for divorce , Emma was certain that the pair belonged together and urged them to repair their marriage . That all changed when Lily married Damian Grimaldi mere weeks after Holden was presumed dead . Even after Holden 's return , Lily was undecided about whether she wanted to remain with Damian or go back to Holden . Holden made the decision for her and had their marriage annulled on the grounds that he had been legally declared dead . Finally fed up with Lily , Emma decided that Holden did n't belong with him after all , and encouraged a relationship between him and his old flame , Molly Conlan . In 2010 , Emma 's main concern was Meg who became unhinged after her divorce from Paul and a disastrous affair with Damian Grimaldi . With Paul 's encouragement , Meg checked herself into a psychiatric facility . A few months later , Emma checked Meg out of the hospital and took Meg 's daughter , Eliza , to the farm without consulting Paul . When Paul confronted her , Emma berated him for his treatment of her daughter and granddaughter . Certain that Meg was alright , Emma initiated a custody battle to ensure that Meg would get joint custody of Eliza , and not just supervised visits . Though Holden believed that Meg might not be stable enough to care for Eliza , Emma refused to believe that anything was wrong . When Meg began acting oddly , evidence sprang up that suggested that she was being drugged . Though the evidence pointed to Paul 's wife , Emily , Paul had a hunch that Meg was medicating herself in an attempt to get rid of Emily . Sadly , Paul was correct , and Emma watched as an unhinged Meg threaten Emily with a gun . After Emma talked her down , Meg was placed into custody and sent to a psychiatric hospital near Iva . Emma followed to assist her daughter in her recovery .

Edited by Scott Chestnut Pietro Scalia Distributed by Miramax Films Release date August 10 , 2005 ( 2005 - 08 - 10 ) ( U.S. ) August 12 , 2005 ( 2005 - 08 - 12 ) Running time 132 minutes Country United States Australia Language English Budget $80 million Box office $10.8 million The Great Raid is a 2005 war film about the Raid at Cabanatuan on the island of Luzon , Philippines during World War II . It is directed by John Dahl and stars Benjamin Bratt , James Franco , Connie Nielsen , Marton Csokas , Joseph Fiennes with Motoki Kobayashi and Cesar Montano . The principal photography took place from July 4 , to November 6 , 2002 , but its release was delayed several times from the original target of fall 2003 . The film is adapted from two books , William Breuer 's The Great Raid on Cabanatuan City and Hampton Sides ' Ghost Soldiers . The film opened in theaters across the United States on August 12 , 2005 , three days before the 60th anniversary of V-J Day . The real - life efforts of Filipino guerrillas are also specifically highlighted , especially a stand at a bridge that delayed Japanese reinforcements . These units fought alongside Americans against Japanese occupiers during the war . Contents ( hide ) 1 Plot 2 Cast 3 Production notes 4 Reception 5 Box office 6 References 7 External links Plot ( edit ) In 1944 , American forces were closing in on the Japanese - occupied Philippines . The Japanese held around 500 American prisoners who had survived the Bataan Death March in a notorious POW camp at Cabanatuan and subjected them to brutal treatment and summary execution , as the Japanese view surrender as a disgrace . Many prisoners were also stricken with malaria . The film opens with the massacre of prisoners of war on Palawan by the Kempeitai , the Imperial Japanese military 's secret police ( though factually , it was committed by the Japanese Fourteenth Area Army ) . Meanwhile , at Lingayen Gulf , the 6th Ranger Battalion under Lt. Col Mucci is ordered by Lt. Gen. Walter Krueger to liberate all of the POWs at Cabanatuan prison camp before they are killed by the Japanese . The film chronicles the efforts of the Rangers , Alamo Scouts from the Sixth Army and Filipino guerrillas as they undertake the Raid at Cabanatuan . Throughout the film , the viewpoint switches between the POWs at Cabanatuan , the Rangers , the Filipino resistance and the Japanese . In particular , the film covers the resistance work undertaken by nurse Margaret Utinsky , who smuggled medicine into the POW camps . The Kempeitai arrested her and sent her to Fort Santiago prison . She was eventually released , but spent six weeks recovering from gangrene as a result of injuries sustained from beatings . Cast ( edit ) Benjamin Bratt as Lt. Col. Henry Mucci James Franco as Capt . Robert Prince Connie Nielsen as Margaret Utinsky Marton Csokas as Capt . Redding Joseph Fiennes as Maj . Daniel Gibson Mark Consuelos as Cpl .

Unsourced material may be challenged and removed . ( October 2016 ) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message ) The Americans used a Northrop P - 61 Black Widow night fighter to divert Japanese attention while the Rangers were crawling toward the camp ; the aircraft used in the movie was a Lockheed Hudson , because none of the four surviving P - 61s were airworthy when the film was made . The movie was filmed in south - east Queensland , Australia utilising a huge , authentic recreation of a prisoner of war camp . In addition , numerous local Asian students were employed to play Japanese soldiers . The movie was shot in 2002 but it was pulled from release schedule on several occasions . It was finally released in August 2005 , by Miramax Films , which coincided with the formal departure of co-founders Bob and Harvey Weinstein from the company . James Franco wrote about the making of the movie in his novel Actors Anonymous . Reception ( edit ) As of August 2014 , the film had a score of 48 out of 100 on Metacritic based on 29 reviews , and on Rotten Tomatoes , the film had a score of 37 % based on 119 reviews . The consensus on Rotten Tomatoes was that the film was too long with too many subplots , although the actual raid was exciting . However , it received more praise from Chicago Sun - Times critic Roger Ebert , who gave it three stars . Ebert praised the film , saying , `` Here is a war movie that understands how wars are actually fought . '' He continued , `` ( The film ) has been made with the confidence that the story itself is the point , not the flashy graphics . The raid is outlined for the troops ( and for the audience ) , so that , knowing what the rescuers want to do , we understand how they 're trying to do it . Like soldiers on a march , it puts one step in front of another , instead of flying apart into a blizzard of quick cuts and special effects . Like the jazzier but equally realistic Black Hawk Down , it shows a situation that has moved beyond policy and strategy and amounts to soldiers in the field , hoping to hell they get home alive . '' He also said the film gave `` full credit '' to the Filipino guerrillas who assisted the Rangers . He concluded , `` it is good to have a film that is not about entertainment for action fans , but about how wars are won with great difficulty , risk , and cost . '' Wesley Morris of The Boston Globe criticized a lack of character development and the pace of the film , saying , `` On screen , at least , the raid to free the prisoners is n't all that great - just a bunch of explosions and combat maneuvers . Still , it 's the one sequence in the film where everybody works with the same conviction . The audience , meanwhile , has to sit around with the prisoners , waiting for this to happen . It 's a long wait . '' He concluded that the film `` amounts to a noble failure . '' Stephen Hunter of The Washington Post praised the film as `` a riveting , even inspirational account of an American feat of arms about which few know but about which many more should . '' He said the film was made more in the style of movies from the 1940s , with the hero being the unit involved in the action instead of individuals , a technique which is rarely used today and explains the `` essentially starless '' cast drawing mainly from television or film supporting roles . He praised its accuracy , saying , `` The war stuff is first - rate all the way through . A great deal of effort has been made to achieve a level of anthropological correctness : The weapons are right , the uniforms are right , the equipment is right ... The raid itself is a dynamo of action filmmaking , exactly like what the real thing must have been -- swift and brutal , with a lot of shooting and no prisoner - taking . '' Joel Selvin of the San Francisco Chronicle called the film `` very boring '' ; a `` story without irony , perspective or any leavening that would make it something other than an ordinary military - action caper . The story line is telegraphed from word one and the meticulous unfolding plot plods ahead inexorably without the slightest bit of suspense . '' Roger Moore of the Orlando Sentinel said , `` ( The characters are ) all real people , and much of this really happened . But director John Dahl ( Joy Ride ) and the screenwriters have conjured a dreary , old - fashioned ' last roundup ' of war movie and prisoner - of - war movie cliches , small but forgivable sins . Less forgivable is how Dahl squanders tension for an hour and a half cutting between the suffering prisoners and resistance intrigues in Manila and the long march of the Rangers , and a fictionalized romance story that might have made a nice little movie by itself . '' James Plath of Movie Metropolis wrote , `` In many ways , The Great Raid adheres to the genre right down to the character types and before - battle thoughts , but it 's also a curious combination of modern war tale in the manner of Saving Private Ryan and the kind of patriotic films that were made in the waning years of the war and in the fifties . It has both a realistic sheen , and an element of idealistic flag - waving . The Great Raid is n't a perfect film , but it 's an engaging one , and , at times , a powerful one . '' Scott Weinberg of DVD Talk gave it a positive review , and described the film as `` truly an ' old - fashioned ' war movie ... based on , and adhering very closely to , actual events that occurred in early 1945 ( . ) The Great Raid is not a hyper - kinetic flash - banger like Pearl Harbor , nor it is a cerebral rumination like The Thin Red Line ; it 's just a well - hewn and efficient re-telling of true story that 's worthy of remembrance . '' He opined that the film was delayed not because it was bad , but because its old - fashioned style is a `` tough sell ... in today 's marketplace . '' Mike Clark of USA Today said , `` Just about any golden age Hollywood hack could have made a zestier drama about one of the greatest rescue missions in U.S. military history , '' and criticized `` Franco 's droning voice - over '' for spelling out `` every sliver of historical context '' , and also said `` a huge chunk of time is given to an uncompelling romance between a major ... and a widowed nurse . '' Entertainment Weekly said it `` lacks a center . It 's an exhausted sprawl with multiple story foci , none of them terribly compelling , '' concluding , `` Dahl does vividly re-create that least heralded burden of war : the boredom . '' Steven Rea of The Philadelphia Inquirer wrote , `` The Great Raid , which documents the largest rescue mission in U.S. military history ( and ends with archival footage of many of the real soldiers portrayed in the film ) , lacks the visceral sweep of Saving Private Ryan . But Spielberg 's story , for all its gut - wrenching intensity , was a fiction . Dahl 's movie , slower in pace and conscious of its own artifice , addresses the same issues of courage and sacrifice - and tells a true story . That 's worth something . In fact , it 's worth a lot . '' Box office ( edit ) The movie was a box office bomb , covering only 12 % of its $80 million budget . The Great Raid was released on August 12 , 2005 and opened at # 10 at the box office , gathering $3,376,009 in the opening weekend . Its worldwide gross stands at $10,769,311 .

Often considered the best basketball player in the world and regarded by some as the greatest player of all time , James ' NBA accomplishments are extensive and include four NBA Most Valuable Player Awards , three NBA Finals MVP Awards , two Olympic gold medals , three All - Star Game MVP awards , and an NBA scoring title . He is the all - time NBA playoffs scoring leader and has amassed fourteen NBA All - Star Game appearances , twelve All - NBA First Team designations , and five All - Defensive First Team honors .

He would go on to establish himself as one of the premier players in the NBA with multiple accolades , including being given the NBA Most Valuable Player Award in 2009 and 2010 . However , after falling short of the championship expectations set by the media , fans , and himself , James departed Cleveland in 2010 as a free agent to sign with the Miami Heat .

Speculated by many to be his father , Anthony McClelland , has an extensive criminal record and was not involved in their life . When James was growing up , life was often a struggle for the family , as they moved from apartment to apartment in the seedier neighborhoods of Akron while Gloria struggled to find steady work . Realizing that her son would be better off in a more stable family environment , Gloria allowed him to move in with the family of Frank Walker , a local youth football coach who introduced James to basketball when he was nine years old . James started playing organized basketball in the fifth grade . He later played Amateur Athletic Union ( AAU ) basketball for the Northeast Ohio Shooting Stars . The team enjoyed success on a local and national level , led by James and his friends Sian Cotton , Dru Joyce III , and Willie McGee . The group was inseparable and dubbed themselves the `` Fab Four '' , promising each other that they would attend high school together . In a move that stirred local controversy , they chose to attend St. Vincent -- St. Mary High School , a predominantly white private Catholic school . High school career Basketball As a freshman , James averaged 21 points and 6 rebounds per game for the St. Vincent - St. Mary varsity basketball team . The Fighting Irish finished the year 27 -- 0 , winning the Division III state title and becoming the only boys high school team to have an undefeated season . As a sophomore , James averaged 25.2 points and 7.2 rebounds with 5.8 assists and 3.8 steals per game . For some home games during the season , St. Vincent - St. Mary played at the University of Akron 's 5,492 - seat Rhodes Arena to satisfy ticket demand from alumni , fans , and college and NBA scouts who wanted to see James play . The Fighting Irish finished the season 26 -- 1 and repeated as state champions . For his outstanding play , James was named Ohio Mr. Basketball and selected to the USA Today All - USA First Team , becoming the first sophomore to do either . Prior to the start of his junior year , James appeared in SLAM Magazine and writer Ryan Jones lauded him as possibly `` the best high school basketball player in America right now '' . During the season , he appeared on the cover of Sports Illustrated , becoming the first high school basketball underclassman to do so . With averages of 29 points , 8.3 rebounds , 5.7 assists , and 3.3 steals per game , he was again named Ohio Mr. Basketball and selected to the USA Today All - USA First Team , and became the first junior to be named boys ' basketball Gatorade National Player of the Year . St. Vincent - St. Mary finished the year with a 23 -- 4 record , ending their season with a loss in the Division II championship game . Following the loss , James unsuccessfully petitioned for a change to the NBA 's draft eligibility rules , which required prospective players to have at least a high school diploma , in an attempt to enter the 2002 NBA draft . During this time , he used marijuana , which he said was to help cope with the stress that resulted from the constant media attention he was receiving . Throughout his senior year , James and the Fighting Irish traveled around the country to play a number of nationally ranked teams , including a game against Oak Hill Academy that was nationally televised on ESPN2 . Time Warner Cable , looking to capitalize on James 's popularity , offered St. Vincent - St. Mary 's games to subscribers on a pay - per - view basis throughout the season .

Many basketball analysts , scouts , and writers have remarked that James left high school as one of the best and most hyped prospects of all time . Also during his senior year , James was the centerpiece of several controversies . For his 18th birthday , he skirted state amateur bylaws by accepting a Hummer H2 from his mother , who had secured a loan for the vehicle by utilizing LeBron 's future earning power as an NBA superstar . This prompted an investigation by the Ohio High School Athletic Association ( OHSAA ) because its guidelines stated that no amateur may accept any gift valued over $100 as a reward for athletic performance . James was cleared of any wrongdoing because he had accepted the gift from a family member and not from an agent or any outside source . Later in the season , James accepted two throwback jerseys worth $845 from an urban clothing store in exchange for posing for pictures , officially violating OHSAA rules and resulting in him being stripped of his high school sports eligibility . James appealed the ruling and his penalty was eventually dropped to a two - game suspension , allowing him to play the remainder of the year . The Irish were also forced to forfeit one of their wins , their only official loss that season . In his first game back after the suspension , James scored a career - high 52 points . St. Vincent - St. Mary went on to win the Division II championship , marking their third division title in four years . Football As an underclassman , James played wide receiver for St. Vincent - St. Mary 's football team and was recruited by some Division I programs , including Notre Dame . In his sophomore year , he was named first team all - state , and as a junior , he helped lead the Fighting Irish to the state semifinals . After James broke his wrist during an AAU basketball game , he decided not to play football in his senior year . Some sports analysts , football critics , high school coaches , former and current players have speculated that he could have played in the National Football League .

The routine was mostly ended after 2011 . In 2006 -- 07 , James 's averages declined to 27.3 points , 6.7 rebounds , 6 assists , and 1.6 steals per game . Some analysts attributed the fall to a regression in his passing skills and shot selection , which stemmed from a lack of effort and focus . The Cavaliers finished the season with 50 wins for the second consecutive year and entered the playoffs as the East 's second seed . In Game 5 of the NBA Conference Finals , James notched 48 points with 9 rebounds and 7 assists , scoring 29 of Cleveland 's last 30 points , including the game - winning layup with two seconds left , against the Pistons . After the game , play - by - play announcer Marv Albert called the performance `` one of the greatest moments in postseason history '' and color commentator Steve Kerr described it as `` Jordan-esque '' . In 2012 , ESPN ranked the performance the fourth greatest in modern NBA playoff history . The Cavaliers went on to win Game 6 and claim their first - ever Eastern Conference championship , earning them a matchup with the San Antonio Spurs in the NBA Finals . During the championship round , James struggled , averaging 22 points , 7.0 rebounds , and 6.8 assists per game on just 35.6 percent shooting , and Cleveland was eliminated in a sweep .

On March 21 , he moved past Brad Daugherty as the Cavaliers ' all - time leading scorer in a game against the Raptors , doing so in over 100 less games than Daugherty . His 30 points per game were also the highest in the league , representing his first scoring title . Despite his individual accomplishments , Cleveland 's record fell from the year before to 45 -- 37 . Seeded fourth in the East entering the playoffs , the Cavaliers defeated the Wizards in the first round for the third consecutive season before being eliminated in seven games by the eventual - champion Boston Celtics in the next round .

He also became only the fourth postmerger player to lead his team in points , rebounds , assists , steals , and blocks in a single season .

With final averages of 28.4 points , 7.6 rebounds , 7.2 assists , 1.7 steals , and 1.2 blocks per game , James became the first Cavalier to win the MVP Award .

'' In the playoffs , Cleveland swept the Pistons and the Atlanta Hawks to earn a matchup with the Orlando Magic in the Conference Finals . In Game 1 of the series , James scored 49 points on 66 percent shooting in a losing effort for the Cavaliers . In Game 2 , he hit a game - winner to tie the series at 1 -- 1 . Cleveland would lose the series in six games , and following the loss in Game 6 , James immediately left the floor without shaking hands with his opponents , which was an act that many media members viewed as unsportsmanlike . For the series , he averaged 38.5 points , 8.3 rebounds , and 8 assists per game , finishing the postseason with a career playoff - high 35.3 points per game . In February of the 2009 -- 10 season , James was forced into a temporary point guard role following a series of injuries to players in the Cavaliers ' backcourt . Behind his leadership , Cleveland lost no momentum , finishing the year with the best record in the league for the second consecutive season . Due in part to his increased minutes as the Cavaliers ' primary ball handler , James increased his statistical production , averaging 29.7 points , 7.3 rebounds , 8.6 assists , 1.6 steals , and 1 block per game on 50 percent shooting en route to another MVP Award . To open the playoffs , Cleveland advanced past the Bulls to earn a matchup with the Celtics in the second round . James was heavily criticized for not playing well in Game 5 of the series , shooting only 20 percent on 14 shots and scoring 15 points .

Miami Heat The Decision Main article : The Decision ( TV special ) James with the Cavaliers in November 2009 . He finished his first stint with the Cavs averaging 27.8 points , 7 rebounds , 7 assists , and 1.7 steals per game . James became an unrestricted free agent at 12 : 01 am EDT on July 1 , 2010 . During this time , he was contacted by several teams , including the Bulls , Los Angeles Clippers , Miami Heat , New York Knicks , New Jersey Nets , and Cavaliers . On July 8 , he announced on a live ESPN special titled The Decision that he would sign with the Heat . The telecast was broadcast from the Boys & Girls Club of Greenwich , Connecticut and raised $2.5 million for the charity . An additional $3.5 million was raised from advertising revenue , which was donated to other charities . The day before the special , fellow free agents Chris Bosh and Dwyane Wade also announced that they would sign with Miami ; reports later arose that the trio had discussed their upcoming 2010 free agencies among themselves back in 2006 . James decided to join with Bosh and Wade in part so that he could shoulder less of the offensive load ; he thought that his improved teammates would give him a better chance of winning an NBA championship than had he stayed in Cleveland . Heat president Pat Riley played a major role in selling James on the idea of playing with Bosh and Wade . James would be relieved of the burden of scoring , and he thought he could be the first player since Oscar Robertson to average a triple - double in a season . Upon leaving the Cavaliers , James drew intense criticism from sports analysts , executives , fans , and current and former players . The Decision itself was also scrutinized and viewed as unnecessary . Many thought that the prolonged wait for James 's choice was unprofessional as not even the teams courting him were aware of his decision until moments before the show . Upon learning that James would not be returning to Cleveland , Cavaliers owner Dan Gilbert published an open letter to fans in which he aggressively denounced James 's actions . Some angry fans of the team recorded videos of themselves burning his jersey . Former NBA players , including Michael Jordan and Magic Johnson , were also critical of James , condemning him for joining with Bosh and Wade in Miami and not trying to win a championship as `` the guy '' . James drew further criticism in a September interview with CNN when he claimed that race might have been a factor in the fallout from The Decision . As a result of his actions during the 2010 free agency period , he quickly gained a reputation as one of America 's most disliked athletes , a radical change from years prior . The phrase `` taking my talents to South Beach '' became a punch line for critics . In retrospect , James has expressed some regret over his handling of The Decision . 2010 -- 2011 : year of media and Fan scrutiny James goes in for a slam dunk as a member of the Miami Heat in March 2011 . James officially signed with the Heat on July 10 , 2010 . With the move , he became only the third reigning MVP to change teams and the first since Moses Malone in 1982 . That evening , the Heat threw a welcome party for their new `` big three '' at the American Airlines Arena , an event that took on a rock concert atmosphere . During the gathering , James predicted a dynasty for the Heat and alluded to multiple championships . Outside of Miami , the spectacle was not well - received , furthering the negative public perception of James . Throughout the 2010 -- 11 season , James and the Heat were treated as villains by the media and opposing fanbases . To begin the year , they struggled to adjust to these new circumstances , going only 9 -- 8 after 17 games . James later admitted that the constant negativity surrounding the team made him play with an angrier demeanor than in years past . On December 2 , James faced the Cavaliers in Cleveland for the first time since departing as a free agent . He scored 38 points and led Miami to a win while being booed every time he touched the ball . The Heat eventually turned their season around and finished as the East 's second seed , with James averaging 26.7 points , 7.5 rebounds , and 7 assists per game on 51 percent shooting . In the conference semifinals , James and his teammates found themselves matched up with the Celtics for the second consecutive year . In Game 5 , he scored Miami 's last ten points to help seal a series - clinching win . After the final buzzer , he famously knelt on the court in an emotional moment , later telling reporters that it was an extremely personal victory for him and the team . The Heat eventually advanced to the Finals , where they were defeated by the Dallas Mavericks in six games . James received the brunt of the criticism for the loss , averaging only three points in fourth quarters in the series . His Finals scoring average of 17.8 points per game signified an 8.9 - point drop from the regular season , the largest point drop - off in league history . 2011 -- 2013 : back - to - back championships James was humbled by the Heat 's loss to the Mavericks , and the experience inspired him to leave behind the villain role that he had been embracing , which helped him regain a sense of joy on the court . He also decided that his post game needed improvement , so he worked with Hakeem Olajuwon during the offseason . Behind James 's significantly - expanded skillset , Miami began the year with a franchise - best 18 -- 6 record . He was eventually named MVP for the third time , finishing with averages of 27.1 points , 7.9 rebounds , 6.2 assists , and 1.9 steals per game on 53 percent shooting . James stands at midcourt during a dead ball in January 2013 . On that night , he became the youngest player in NBA history to score 20,000 career points .

James responded with a 40 - point , 18 - rebound , and 9 - assist outing in Game 4 to help even the series . To compensate for Bosh 's absence , the Heat embraced a small - ball lineup with James at power forward , which they retained even after Bosh 's return in the Conference Finals against the Celtics . Facing elimination in Game 6 , James scored 45 points to lead the Heat to victory in what The New York Times called a `` career - defining performance '' . Miami won Game 7 to advance to the Finals , earning them a matchup with the Oklahoma City Thunder and James 's budding rival , Kevin Durant .

Based on these accomplishments , James 's performance was described as a `` month for the ages '' by Sports Illustrated . Miami eventually finished the year with a franchise and league best 66 -- 16 record , and James was named MVP for the fourth time , falling just one vote shy of becoming the first player in NBA history to win the award unanimously . His final season averages were 26.8 points , 8 rebounds , 7.3 assists , and 1.7 steals per game on 56.5 percent shooting . In Game 1 of the Conference Finals , James scored a buzzer - beating layup to give Miami a one - point victory against the Pacers . Throughout the series , his supporting cast struggled significantly , and his added scoring load prompted him to compare his responsibilities to those of his `` Cleveland days '' . Despite these struggles , the Heat advanced to the Finals for a meeting with the Spurs , signifying a rematch for James from his first Finals six years earlier . At the beginning of the series , he was criticized for his lack of aggressiveness and poor shot selection as Miami fell behind 2 -- 3 .

In the Conference Finals , the Cavaliers defeated the Hawks to advance to the Finals , making James the first player since the 1960s to play in five consecutive Finals . For most of the Finals against the Golden State Warriors , Irving and Love were sidelined due to injury , giving James more offensive responsibilities .

Despite the loss , he received serious consideration for the Finals MVP Award , averaging 35.8 points , 13.3 rebounds , and 8.8 assists per game for the championship round .

Team USA finished the competition with a bronze medal , becoming the first U.S. basketball team to return home without a gold medal since adding active NBA players to their line - up .

Offense James drives to the basket in March 2008 . A deft finisher , he led the NBA in scoring and shooting percentage at the rim in 2013 . James entered the NBA as an 18 - year - old rookie and made an immediate offensive impact when he led the Cavaliers in scoring . He holds numerous `` youngest to '' distinctions , including being the youngest player to score 28,000 career points . During his first stint in Cleveland , he was primarily used as an on - ball point forward . His shooting tendencies were perimeter - oriented , and he established himself as one of the best slashers and finishers in basketball ; he led the NBA in three - point plays in 2006 . His combination of speed , quickness , and size often created matchup problems for opposing teams because he was capable of blowing by larger defenders and overpowering smaller ones . These qualities became more apparent in transition , where he developed a reputation for grabbing defensive rebounds and then beating the defense downcourt for highlight - quality baskets . Around this time , James was frequently criticized for not having developed a reliable jump shot or post game . Teams would try to exploit these weaknesses by giving him space in the half court and forcing him to settle for three - pointers and long two - pointers , a strategy famously utilized by Spurs coach Greg Popovich in the 2007 Finals , where James converted on only 36 percent of his field goals in four games . In Miami , Heat coach Erik Spoelstra changed James 's role to a more unconventional one . James began spending more time in the post and shooting fewer three - pointers , attempting a career - low 149 in 2012 . He improved his shot selection and accuracy on jump shots , finishing second in the league in catch - and - shoot field goal percentage in 2013 . He also learned how to work as an off - ball cutter in the Heat 's `` pass - happy '' offense . Behind these improvements , James 's overall scoring efficiency rose to historically - great levels , peaking in 2014 when he registered a 64.9 true shooting percentage . During this period , ESPN 's Tom Haberstroh called James 's free - throw shooting his biggest weakness , describing it as `` average '' . Upon returning to the Cavaliers , James began to experience subtle age - related declines in productivity , posting his lowest scoring averages since his rookie season in 2015 and 2016 . His shooting also temporarily regressed , and he briefly ranked as the worst high - volume outside shooter from outside the paint in the NBA . Despite these changes , he has remained an elite offensive player who is capable of beating defenses with body control , strength , and varying attacking speeds . James 's playmaking ability is generally considered to be one of his premier skills , with some analysts ranking him among the greatest passers in NBA history . He is the only frontcourt player in league history to register over 7,000 career assists . Using his size , vision , and the attention he garners from opposing defenses to his advantage , James is able to create easy points for his teammates with accurate assists , manufacturing a league leading 2.6 three - pointers per game by way of his passing alone in 2013 . He will often execute passes that would normally be considered unconventional , including passes after leaving his feet and passes through defensive traffic . His uncanny tendency to find the open man played a significant role in the evolution of modern NBA defenses , which forces teams to incorporate some elements of zone into their schemes to better cover the weak side of the court and prevent James from passing to open shooters . Early in James 's career , he was criticized by the media for his buck passing play in pressure situations ; specifically , for passing instead of shooting in the waning seconds of close games . In a 2011 interview , teammate Chris Bosh stated that he would rather have Dwyane Wade and not James take a last - second shot . Later in James 's career , his clutch play was viewed more favorably ; for example , in 2015 , FiveThirtyEight wrote that he might be `` the most clutch playoff shooter of his generation '' . Defense At the beginning of James 's NBA career , he was considered to be a poor defensive player , but he improved steadily through the years . Near the end of his first tenure in Cleveland , he became proficient at the chase - down block , which involved coming in from behind the opposition in transition to block their shot . In Miami , he developed into a more versatile defensive player , and the Heat relied on him to guard all five positions . James was paired with teammates Shane Battier and Dwyane Wade , and Miami used him in an ultra-aggressive defensive scheme , with James cheating off the ball to help out inside or get into rebounding position . Beginning in 2014 , some analysts noted a regression in his defensive impact , stemming from a lack of effort and expected age - related declines . James himself admitted to taking plays off at times , referring to this approach as `` chill mode '' . Writing for ESPN in 2016 , Nate Duncan observed that while James tended to take off more plays than in his younger days , he was able to raise his level in that year 's Finals and temporarily recapture his Miami form . Off the court Personal life James proposed to Savannah Brinson , his high school sweetheart , at a December 31 , 2011 party celebrating New Year 's Eve and his 27th birthday . She accepted , and the two were married on September 14 , 2013 in San Diego , California . Together , they have three children : LeBron James Jr. ( b . 2004 ) , Bryce Maximus James ( b . 2007 ) , and Zhuri Nova James ( b . 2014 ) . During his stint with the Heat , James resided in Coconut Grove , where he bought a $9 million three - story mansion overlooking Biscayne Bay . In November 2015 , James bought a 9,350 square - foot ( 870 m ) East Coast -- style mansion in Brentwood , Los Angeles for about $21 million . Public image James is considered by many people , including his fellow NBA players , to be the `` face of the NBA '' . His opinions have yielded significant influence on people who make important league decisions ; for example , in 2014 he asked commissioner Adam Silver to increase the duration of the All - Star break , and the request was granted the following season . On February 13 , 2015 , James was elected the first vice president of the National Basketball Players Association ( NBPA ) . The WWI Destroy This Mad Brute poster and the April 2008 Vogue cover with James and Gisele Bündchen , which critics said referenced the earlier poster . Throughout his career , James has been ranked by Forbes as one of the world 's most influential athletes , and in 2017 , he was listed by Time as one of the 100 most influential people in the world . During his first stint with the Cavaliers , he was adored by local fans , and Sherwin - Williams displayed a giant Nike - produced banner of James on its world headquarters . Despite their affection for James , Cleveland fans and critics were frequently annoyed when he sported a Yankees hat when he attended Cleveland Indians baseball games versus the New York Yankees . Following his actions during the 2010 free agency period and , more specifically , The Decision , he was listed as one of the world 's most disliked athletes . By 2013 , his image had mostly recovered and he was reported by ESPN as the most popular player in the NBA for the second time in his career . In 2014 , he was named the most popular male athlete in America by the Harris Poll . He has led the league in jersey sales six times . In March 2008 , James became the first black man -- and third man overall after Richard Gere and George Clooney -- to appear on the cover of Vogue , when he posed with Gisele Bündchen . In response , noted ESPN columnist Jemele Hill considered the cover offensive and `` memorable for the wrong reasons '' , describing the demeanor of James and his holding Bündchen as a reference to classic imagery of the movie monster King Kong , a dark savage capturing his light - skinned love interest . Media figure and business interests James is represented by agent Rich Paul of Klutch Sports . His first agent was Aaron Goodwin , whom he left in 2005 for Leon Rose . Rose joined Creative Artists Agency ( CAA ) in 2007 , and he worked with fellow CAA agent Henry Thomas , who represented Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh , to bring James to Miami in 2010 . James left CAA for Paul in 2012 . James , Paul , Maverick Carter , and Randy Mims -- all childhood friends -- formed agent and sports - marketing company LRMR after James left Goodwin . LRMR handles James 's marketing , including the marketing of The Decision , for which it was criticized . Throughout his career , James has taken a unique approach to his NBA contracts , usually opting to sign shorter - term deals in order to maximize his earnings potential and flexibility ; for example , in 2006 , he and the Cavaliers negotiated a three - year , $60 million contract extension instead of the four - year maximum as it allotted him the option of seeking a new contract worth more money as an unrestricted free agent following the 2010 season . This move ultimately allowed James , Dwyane Wade , and Chris Bosh to sign with the Heat together . During his second stint in Cleveland , he began opting out and re-signing on new contracts after each season in order to take advantage of higher salaries resulting from the NBA 's rising salary cap . In 2016 , he signed with the Cavaliers on a three - year deal , becoming the highest - paid player in the league for the first time in his career . Nike installed a 10 - stories - tall mural of James in downtown Cleveland . James has signed numerous endorsement contracts ; some of the companies that he has done business with are Audemars Piguet , Coca - Cola , Dunkin ' Brands , McDonald 's , Nike , State Farm and Beats by Dre . Coming out of high school , he was the target of a three - way bidding war among Nike , Reebok , and Adidas , eventually signing with Nike for approximately $90 million . His signature shoes have performed well for Nike . In 2011 , Fenway Sports Group became the sole global marketer of his rights , and as part of the deal , he was granted a minority stake in the English Premier League football club Liverpool , who he has claimed his support for . As a result of James 's endorsement money and NBA salary , he has been listed as one of the world 's highest - paid athletes . In 2013 , he surpassed Kobe Bryant as the highest paid basketball player in the world , with earnings of $56.5 million . In 2014 , James realized a profit of more than $30 million as part of Apple 's acquisition of Beats Electronics ; he had originally struck a deal to get a small stake in the company at its inception in exchange for promoting its headphones . In 2015 , he was ranked the sixth highest earning sportsperson , and third highest in 2016 ( after Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi ) . James has stated that he would like to own an NBA team in the future , albeit in a hands - off capacity . James and comedian Jimmy Kimmel co-hosted the 2007 ESPY Awards . In other comedic pursuits , he hosted the 33rd - season premiere of Saturday Night Live . He has also tried his hand at acting , appearing in a cameo role on the HBO series Entourage . In 2015 , he played himself in the Judd Apatow film Trainwreck , receiving positive reviews for his performance . That same year , James 's digital video company , Uninterrupted , raised $15.8 million from Warner Bros. Entertainment and Turner Sports to help expand the company 's efforts to bring athlete - created content to fans . It is hosted on Bleacher Report and is used by several other athletes including New England Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski and Seattle Seahawks cornerback Richard Sherman . James and his business partner Maverick Carter own production company SpringHill Entertainment , whose first work was the Lions Gate documentary More Than a Game , which was released in 2009 and chronicled James 's high school years . Series produced by SpringHill include the Disney XD sports documentaries Becoming , Starz sitcom Survivor 's Remorse , and animated web series The LeBrons . In 2016 , CNBC aired an unscripted series hosted by James called Cleveland Hustles , where four up - and - coming Northern Ohio entrepreneurs will be financed on the condition of revitalizing a neighborhood in Cleveland . In the 2017 Toronto International Film Festival , a 60 - minute Vince Carter documentary entitled The Carter Effect was executive produced by James and Maverick Carter along with rapper Drake and Future the Prince . In February 2018 it was announced that James ' production company will produce a new film in the House Party series with James expected to make a cameo . Later that month , Fox News journalist Laura Ingraham told James to `` Shut up and dribble '' as a response to his political agendas . This largely contributed to James creating a documentary series looking at the changing role of athletes in the current political and cultural climate , aptly named , `` Shut Up and Dribble '' on Showtime . Activism James , First Lady Michelle Obama , and Dwyane Wade tape a public service announcement , January 2014 . James is an active supporter of non-profit organizations , including After - School All - Stars , Boys & Girls Clubs of America , and Children 's Defense Fund . He also has his own charity foundation , the LeBron James Family Foundation , which is based in Akron . Since 2005 , the foundation has held an annual bike - a-thon to raise money for various causes . In 2015 , James announced a partnership with the University of Akron to provide scholarships for as many as 2,300 children beginning in 2021 . In 2016 , he donated $2.5 million to the Smithsonian National Museum of African American History and Culture to support an exhibit on Muhammad Ali . In 2017 , he received the J. Walter Kennedy Citizenship Award from the NBA for his `` outstanding service and dedication to the community . '' In November of that same year , the Akron School Board approved the `` I Promise School '' , a public elementary school created in a partnership with the LeBron James Family Foundation to help struggling elementary school students stay in school . James later reflected that it was his most important professional accomplishment of his life . The school officially opened on July 30 , 2018 . Throughout his career , James has taken stances on controversial issues . On several occasions , he mentioned a feeling of obligation to effect change using his status . Those include the War in Darfur , the Trayvon Martin case , the now - former NBA owner Donald Sterling 's racist comments in 2014 , the Michael Brown verdict , and the death of Eric Garner . Following a racist incident at his Los Angeles home in 2017 , James expressed , `` being black in America is tough . We got a long way to go for us as a society and for us as African Americans until we feel equal in America . '' Later on that same year , in the aftermath of the 2017 Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville , Virginia , James questioned president Donald Trump 's `` Make America Great Again '' slogan and said , `` It 's sad what 's going on in Charlottesville . Is this the direction our country is heading ? Make America Great Again huh ? '' and that `` Our youth deserve better ! ! '' James also called Trump a `` bum '' after the president rescinded a White House invitation to Stephen Curry . During a 2018 interview with CNN journalist Don Lemon , James accused the president for attempting to divide the country with sports , suggesting `` sports has never been something that divides people it 's always been something that brings someone together . '' He also declared he would `` never sit across from him . I 'd sit across from Barack ( Obama ) though . '' In response , Trump said `` LeBron James was just interviewed by the dumbest man on television , Don Lemon . He made LeBron look smart , which is n't easy to do . '' However , many players , including former NBA great Michael Jordan ( who was mentioned in Trump 's Tweet afterward ) , supported James and disavowed President Trump 's statements on the subject . In June 2008 , James donated $20,000 to a committee to elect Democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama . Later that year , James gathered almost 20,000 people at the Quicken Loans Arena for a viewing of Obama 's 30 - minute American Stories , American Solutions television advertisement . The advertisement was shown on a large screen above the stage , where Jay - Z later held a free concert . In November 2016 , James endorsed Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton in the 2016 presidential election .

This is down from 85 % in 1990 , lower than 81.6 % in 2001 , and slightly lower than 78 % in 2012 . About 62 % of those polled claim to be members of a church congregation . The United States has the largest Christian population in the world , with nearly 280 million Christians , although other countries have higher percentages of Christians among their populations . The modern official motto of the United States of America , as established in a 1956 law signed by President Dwight D. Eisenhower , is `` In God We Trust '' . The phrase first appeared on U.S. coins in 1864 . All Protestant denominations accounted for 51.3 % , while the Catholic Church by itself , at 23.9 % , was the largest individual denomination . A 2008 Pew study categorizes white evangelical Protestants , 26.3 % of the population , as the country 's largest religious cohort ; another study in 2004 estimates evangelical Protestants of all races at 30 -- 35 % . The United Methodist Church is the third largest church in the United States , and is the largest mainline denomination . The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter - day Saints ( Mormons ) is the fourth largest church in the United States , and the largest church originating in the U.S. Among Eastern Christian denominations , there are several Eastern Orthodox and Oriental Orthodox churches , with just below 1 million adherents in the US , or 0.4 % of the total population . Christianity was introduced to the Americas as it was first colonized by Europeans beginning in the 16th and 17th centuries . Going forward from its foundation , the United States has been called a Protestant nation by a variety of sources . Immigration further increased Christian numbers . Today most Christian churches in the United States are Mainline Protestant , Evangelical Protestant , or Catholic .

There are also Christian denominations that do not fall within either of these groups , such as Eastern Orthodoxy and Oriental Orthodoxy , but they are much smaller . A 2004 survey of the United States identified the percentages of these groups as 26.3 % ( Evangelical ) , 22 % ( Catholics ) , and 16 % ( Mainline Protestant ) . In a Statistical Abstract of the United States , based on a 2001 study of the self - described religious identification of the adult population , the percentages for these same groups are 28.6 % ( Evangelical ) , 24.5 % ( Catholics ) , and 13.9 % ( Mainline Protestant ) . Protestantism ( edit ) Main article : Protestantism in the United States The First Baptist Church in America in Providence , Rhode Island ( American Baptist Churches USA ) In typical usage , the term mainline is contrasted with evangelical . The Association of Religion Data Archives ( ARDA ) counts 26,344,933 members of mainline churches versus 39,930,869 members of evangelical Protestant churches . There is evidence that there has been a shift in membership from mainline denominations to evangelical churches . As shown in the table below , some denominations with similar names and historical ties to Evangelical groups are considered Mainline .

Note the booming membership of Baptist and Methodist churches . Evangelicalism is a Protestant Christian movement . In typical usage , the term mainline is contrasted with evangelical . Theologically conservative critics accuse the mainline churches of `` the substitution of leftist social action for Christian evangelizing , and the disappearance of biblical theology , '' and maintain that `` All the Mainline churches have become essentially the same church : their histories , their theologies , and even much of their practice lost to a uniform vision of social progress . '' Most adherents consider the key characteristics of evangelicalism to be : a belief in the need for personal conversion ( or being `` born again '' ) ; some expression of the gospel in effort ; a high regard for Biblical authority ; and an emphasis on the death and resurrection of Jesus . David Bebbington has termed these four distinctive aspects conversionism , activism , biblicism , and crucicentrism , saying , `` Together they form a quadrilateral of priorities that is the basis of Evangelicalism . '' Note that the term `` Evangelical '' does not equal Fundamentalist Christianity , although the latter is sometimes regarded simply as the most theologically conservative subset of the former . The major differences largely hinge upon views of how to regard and approach scripture ( `` Theology of Scripture '' ) , as well as construing its broader world - view implications . While most conservative Evangelicals believe the label has broadened too much beyond its more limiting traditional distinctives , this trend is nonetheless strong enough to create significant ambiguity in the term . As a result , the dichotomy between `` evangelical '' vs. `` mainline '' denominations is increasingly complex ( particularly with such innovations as the `` Emergent Church '' movement ) . The contemporary North American usage of the term is influenced by the evangelical / fundamentalist controversy of the early 20th century . Evangelicalism may sometimes be perceived as the middle ground between the theological liberalism of the Mainline ( Protestant ) denominations and the cultural separatism of Fundamentalist Christianity . Evangelicalism has therefore been described as `` the third of the leading strands in American Protestantism , straddl ( ing ) the divide between fundamentalists and liberals . '' While the North American perception is important to understand the usage of the term , it by no means dominates a wider global view , where the fundamentalist debate was not so influential . Evangelicals held the view that the modernist and liberal parties in the Protestant churches had surrendered their heritage as Evangelicals by accommodating the views and values of the world . At the same time , they criticized their fellow Fundamentalists for their separatism and their rejection of the Social Gospel as it had been developed by Protestant activists of the previous century . They charged the modernists with having lost their identity as Evangelicals and the Fundamentalists with having lost the Christ - like heart of Evangelicalism . They argued that the Gospel needed to be reasserted to distinguish it from the innovations of the liberals and the fundamentalists . They sought allies in denominational churches and liturgical traditions , disregarding views of eschatology and other `` non-essentials , '' and joined also with Trinitarian varieties of Pentecostalism . They believed that in doing so , they were simply re-acquainting Protestantism with its own recent tradition . The movement 's aim at the outset was to reclaim the Evangelical heritage in their respective churches , not to begin something new ; and for this reason , following their separation from Fundamentalists , the same movement has been better known merely as `` Evangelicalism . '' By the end of the 20th century , this was the most influential development in American Protestant Christianity . The National Association of Evangelicals is a U.S. agency which coordinates cooperative ministry for its member denominations . A 2015 global census estimated some 450,000 believers in Christ from a Muslim background in the USA , most of whom are evangelicals and / or Pentecostals . Mainline Protestantism ( edit ) Main article : Mainline Protestant The National Cathedral ( Episcopalian ) in Washington , D.C. The mainline Protestant Christian denominations are those Protestant denominations that were brought to the United States by its historic immigrant groups ; for this reason they are sometimes referred to as heritage churches . The largest are the Episcopal ( English ) , Presbyterian ( Scottish ) , Methodist ( English and Welsh ) , and Lutheran ( German and Scandinavian ) churches . Mainline Protestantism as the Episcopalians ( 76 % ) , the Presbyterian ( 64 % ) , and the United Church of Christ has the highest number of graduate and post-graduate degrees per capita , of any other Christian denomination in the United States , as well as the most high - income earners . Episcopalians and Presbyterian tend to be considerably wealthier and better educated than most other religious groups in Americans , and are disproportionately represented in the upper reaches of American business , law and politics , especially the Republican Party . Numbers of the most wealthy and affluent American families as the Vanderbilts and Astors , Rockefeller , Du Pont , Roosevelt , Forbes , Whitney , Morgans , and Harrimans are Mainline Protestantism families . According to Scientific Elite : Nobel Laureates in the United States by Harriet Zuckerman , a review of American Nobel prizes winners awarded between 1901 and 1972 , 72 % of American Nobel Prize Laureates , have identified from a Protestant background . Overall , 84.2 % of all the Nobel Prizes awarded to Americans in Chemistry , 60 % in Medicine , and 58.6 % in Physics between 1901 and 1972 were won by Protestants . Some of the first colleges and universities in America , including Harvard , Yale , Princeton , Columbia , Dartmouth , Williams , Bowdoin , Middlebury , and Amherst , all were founded by the Mainline Protestantism , as were later Carleton , Duke , Oberlin , Beloit , Pomona , Rollins and Colorado College . Many mainline denominations teach that the Bible is God 's word in function , but tend to be open to new ideas and societal changes . They have been increasingly open to the ordination of women . Mainline churches tend to belong to organizations such as the National Council of Churches and World Council of Churches . The seven largest U.S. mainline denominations were called by William Hutchison the `` Seven Sisters of American Protestantism '' in reference to the major liberal groups during the period between 1900 and 1960 . United Methodist Church 6,951,278 members ( 2016 ) Evangelical Lutheran Church in America 3,563,842 members ( 2016 ) Episcopal Church in the United States of America 1,779,335 members ( 2015 ) Presbyterian Church ( USA ) 1,482,767 members ( 2016 ) American Baptist Churches in the USA 1,198,046 members ( 2014 ) United Church of Christ 880,383 members ( 2016 ) Christian Church ( Disciples of Christ ) 497,423 ( 2014 ) The Association of Religion Data Archives also considers these denominations to be mainline : Religious Society of Friends ( Quakers ) 108,500 members Reformed Church in America 223,675 members ( 2015 ) International Council of Community Churches 68,300 members ( 2010 ) National Association of Congregational Christian Churches 65,569 members ( 2000 ) North American Baptist Conference 47,150 members ( 2006 ) Moravian Church in America , Northern Province 24,650 members ( 2003 ) Moravian Church in America , Southern Province 21,513 members ( 1991 ) Universal Fellowship of Metropolitan Community Churches 15,666 members ( 2006 ) Latvian Evangelical Lutheran Church in America 12,000 members ( 2007 ) Congregational Christian Churches , ( not part of any national CCC body ) Moravian Church in America , Alaska Province The Association of Religion Data Archives has difficulties collecting data on traditionally African American denominations . Those churches most likely to be identified as mainline include these Methodist groups : African Methodist Episcopal Church Christian Methodist Episcopal Church Catholic Church ( edit ) Main article : Catholic Church in the United States The Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception in Washington , D.C. is the largest Catholic church in the United States . The Catholic Church arrived in what is now the United States during the earliest days of the European colonization of the Americas . At the time the country was founded ( meaning the Thirteen Colonies in 1776 ) , only a small fraction of the population there were Catholics ( mostly in Maryland ) ; however , as a result of expansion and immigration over the country 's history , the number of adherents has grown dramatically and it is the largest profession of faith in the United States today . With over 67 million registered residents professing the faith in 2008 , the United States has the fourth largest Catholic population in the world after Brazil , Mexico , and the Philippines , respectively . The Church 's leadership body in the United States is the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops , made up of the hierarchy of bishops and archbishops of the United States and the U.S. Virgin Islands , although each bishop is independent in his own diocese , answerable only to the Pope . No primate for Catholics exists in the United States . The Archdiocese of Baltimore has Prerogative of Place , which confers to its archbishop a subset of the leadership responsibilities granted to primates in other countries . The number of Catholics grew from the early 19th century through immigration and the acquisition of the predominantly Catholic former possessions of France , Spain , and Mexico , followed in the mid-19th century by a rapid influx of Irish , German , Italian and Polish immigrants from Europe , making Catholicism the largest Christian denomination in the United States . This increase was met by widespread prejudice and hostility , often resulting in riots and the burning of churches , convents , and seminaries . The integration of Catholics into American society was marked by the election of John F. Kennedy as President in 1960 . Since then , the percentage of Americans who are Catholic has remained at around 25 % . According to the Association of Catholic Colleges and Universities in 2011 , there are approximately 230 Roman Catholic universities and colleges in the United States with nearly 1 million students and some 65,000 professors . Catholic schools educate 2.7 million students in the United States , employing 150,000 teachers . In 2002 , Catholic health care systems , overseeing 625 hospitals with a combined revenue of 30 billion dollars , comprised the nation 's largest group of nonprofit systems . Eastern Orthodox Christianity ( edit ) St. Nicholas Cathedral in Washington , D.C. , is the primary cathedral of the Orthodox Church in America . Main article : Eastern Orthodoxy in the United States Groups of immigrants from several different regions , mainly Eastern Europe and the Middle East , brought Eastern Orthodoxy to the United States . This traditional branch of Eastern Christianity has since spread beyond the boundaries of ethnic immigrant communities and now include multi-ethnic membership and parishes . There are several Eastern Orthodox ecclesiastical jurisdictions in the USA , organized within the Assembly of Canonical Orthodox Bishops of North and Central America . Statistically , Eastern Orthodox Christians are among the wealthiest Christians denomination in the United States , and they also tend to be better educated than most other religious groups in America , in the sense that they have a high number of graduate ( 68 % ) and post-graduate degrees ( 28 % ) per capita . Oriental Orthodox Christianity ( edit ) Several groups of Christian immigrants , mainly from the Middle East , Caucasus , Africa and India , brought Oriental Orthodoxy to the United States . This ancient branch of Eastern Christianity includes several ecclesiastical jurisdictions in the USA , like Armenian Apostolic Church in the United States and Coptic Orthodox Church in the United States . Latter - day Saint movement ( edit ) The Salt Lake Temple , which took 40 years to build , is one of the most iconic images of the LDS Church . Main article : The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter - day Saints membership statistics ( United States ) The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter - day Saints ( LDS Church ) is a nontrinitarian restorationist denomination . The church is headquartered in Salt Lake City , and is the largest originating from the Latter Day Saint movement which was founded by Joseph Smith in Upstate New York in 1830 . It forms the majority in Utah , the plurality in Idaho , and high percentages in Nevada , Arizona , and Wyoming ; in addition to sizable numbers in Colorado , Montana , Washington , Oregon , Alaska , Hawaii and California . Current U.S. membership is 6.6 million . In 2010 , around 13 - 14 % of Mormons lived in Utah , the center of cultural influence for Mormonism . Utah Mormons ( as well as Mormons living in the Intermountain West ) are on average more culturally and politically conservative and Libertarian than those living in some cosmopolitan centers elsewhere in the U.S. Utahns self - identifying as Mormon also attend church somewhat more on average than Mormons living in other states . ( Nonetheless , whether they live in Utah or elsewhere in the U.S. , Mormons tend to be more culturally and politically conservative than members of other U.S. religious groups . ) Utah Mormons often place a greater emphasis on pioneer heritage than international Mormons who generally are not descendants of the Mormon pioneers . Community of Christ ( formerly the Reorganized Church of Jesus Christ of Latter - day Saints ) is a trinitarian restorationist denomination based in Independence , Missouri at the theologically significant Temple Lot . Community of Christ is the second largest denomination in the Latter - day Saint movement with 130,000 members in the United States and 250,000 worldwide ( See Community of Christ membership statistics ) . The church owns many of the early LDS historic sites including the Kirtland Temple near Cleveland , Ohio and the Joseph Smith properties in Nauvoo , Illinois . Community of Christ has taken an ecumenical and progressive approach recent years including joining the National Council of Churches , ordaining women to the church 's priesthood since 1984 , and more recently approving the blessing of same - sex marriages . Small churches within the Latter - day Saint movement include Church of Christ ( Temple Lot ) , Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter - day Saints , Restoration Branches , and Remnant Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints . History ( edit ) Main articles : History of religion in the United States and History of Christianity in the United States Christianity was introduced during the period of European colonization . The Spanish and French brought Catholicism to the colonies of New Spain and New France respectively , while British and Germans introduced Protestantism . Among Protestants , adherents to Anglicanism , the Baptist Church , Congregationalism , Presbyterianism , Lutheranism , Quakerism , Mennonite and Moravian Church were the first to settle in the American colonies . Early colonial period ( edit ) The Dutch founded their colony of New Netherland in 1624 ; they established the Dutch Reformed Church as the colony 's official religion in 1628 . Spanish colonies ( edit ) Spain established missions and towns in what are now Texas , New Mexico , Arizona , Florida , and California . Many cities and towns still retain in the present day the names of the Catholic saints these missions were named for ; an excellent example of this is the full legal name of the city of Los Angeles : El Pueblo de Nuestra Señora Reina de Los Ángeles del Río Porciúncula , or The Town of Our Lady , Queen of the Angels of the Porciuncula River . The city was founded by Franciscan friars , who named their tiny church and later the town that formed around it after the Virgin Mary , also known to Catholics as Our Lady , Queen of the Angels . Similar patterns emerged wherever the Spanish went , such as San Antonio , Texas , ( named for Anthony of Padua , Santa Fe , New Mexico ( named after Francis of Assisi , ) and Saint Augustine , Florida , ( named for Augustine of Hippo ) , as was Saint Lucy County and Port Saint Lucy in Florida named for Saint Lucy / Santa Lucia although Saint Petersburg , Florida was not named for St. Peter , but for the city of the same name in Russia . In the English colonies , Catholicism was introduced with the settling of Maryland . Conversion of Native Americans to Catholicism was a main goal of the Catholic missionaries , especially the Jesuits . This was common in places where French influence was strong , like Detroit or Louisiana . British colonies ( edit ) Many of the British North American colonies that eventually formed the United States of America were settled in the 17th century by men and women , who , in the face of European religious persecution , refused to compromise passionately - held religious convictions and fled Europe . New England ( edit ) A group which later became known as the Pilgrims settled the Plymouth Colony in Plymouth , Massachusetts in 1620 , seeking refuge from persecution in Europe . The Puritans , a much larger group than the Pilgrims , established the Massachusetts Bay Colony in 1629 with 400 settlers . Puritans were English Protestants who wished to reform and purify the Church of England in the New World of what they considered to be unacceptable residues of Catholicism . Within two years , an additional 2,000 settlers arrived . From 1620 to 1640 Puritans emigrated to New England from England to escape persecution and gain the liberty to worship as they chose independently of the Church of England , England being on the verge of the English Civil War . Most settled in New England , but some went as far as the West Indies . Theologically , the Puritans were `` non-separating Congregationalists . '' The Puritans created a deeply religious , socially tight - knit and politically innovative culture that is still present in the modern United States . They hoped this new land would serve as a `` redeemer nation . '' Virginia ( edit ) Main article : History of Virginia § Religion in early Virginia The Church of England was legally established in the colony in 1619 ; 22 Anglican clergymen arrived by 1624 . In practice , `` establishment '' meant that local taxes were funneled through the local parish to handle the needs of local government , such as roads and poor relief , in addition to the salary of the minister . There never was a bishop in colonial Virginia ; the local vestry consisted of laymen controlled the parish . The colonists were typically inattentive , uninterested , and bored during church services , according to the ministers , who complained that the people were sleeping , whispering , ogling the fashionably dressed women , walking about and coming and going , or at best looking out the windows or staring blankly into space . There were too few ministers for the widely scattered population , so ministers encouraged parishioners to become devout at home , using the Book of Common Prayer for private prayer and devotion ( rather than the Bible ) . The stress on personal piety opened the way for the First Great Awakening , which pulled people away from the established church and into the unauthorized Baptist and Methodist movements . Tolerance in Rhode Island and Pennsylvania ( edit ) Roger Williams , who preached religious tolerance , separation of church and state , and a complete break with the Church of England , was banished from Massachusetts and founded Rhode Island Colony , which became a haven for other religious refugees from the Puritan community . Some migrants who came to Colonial America were in search of the freedom to practice forms of Christianity which were prohibited and persecuted in Europe . Since there was no state religion , and since Protestantism had no central authority , religious practice in the colonies became diverse . The Quakers formed in England in 1652 , where they were severely persecuted in England for daring to deviate so far from orthodox Anglican Christianity . Many sought refuge in New Jersey , Rhode Island and especially Pennsylvania , which was owned by William Penn , a rich Quaker . The Quakers kept political control until Indian wars broke out ; the Quakers were pacifists and gave up control to groups that were eager to fight the Indians . Beginning in 1683 many German - speaking immigrants arrived in Pennsylvania from the Rhine Valley and Switzerland . Starting in the 1730s Count Zinzendorf and the Moravian Brethren sought to minister to these immigrants while they also began missions among the Native American tribes of New York and Pennsylvania . Heinrich Melchior Muehlenberg organized the first Lutheran Synod in Pennsylvania in the 1740s . Maryland ( edit ) Catholic fortunes fluctuated in Maryland during the rest of the 17th century , as they became an increasingly smaller minority of the population . After the Glorious Revolution of 1689 in England , penal laws deprived Catholics of the right to vote , hold office , educate their children or worship publicly . Until the American Revolution , Catholics in Maryland , like Charles Carroll of Carrollton , were dissenters in their own country but keeping loyal to their convictions . At the time of the Revolution , Catholics formed less than 1 % of the population of the thirteen colonies , in 2007 , Catholics comprised 24 % of US population . Great Awakening ( edit ) Spanish - style church in Shandon , California Evangelicalism is difficult to date and to define . Scholars have argued that , as a self - conscious movement , evangelicalism did not arise until the mid-17th century , perhaps not until the Great Awakening itself . The fundamental premise of evangelicalism is the conversion of individuals from a state of sin to a `` new birth '' through the preaching of the Word . The Great Awakening refers to a northeastern Protestant revival movement that took place in the 1730s and 1740s . The first generation of New England Puritans required that church members undergo a conversion experience that they could describe publicly . Their successors were not as successful in reaping harvests of redeemed souls . The movement began with Jonathan Edwards , a Massachusetts preacher who sought to return to the Pilgrims ' strict Calvinist roots . British preacher George Whitefield and other itinerant preachers continued the movement , traveling across the colonies and preaching in a dramatic and emotional style . Followers of Edwards and other preachers of similar religiosity called themselves the `` New Lights , '' as contrasted with the `` Old Lights , '' who disapproved of their movement . To promote their viewpoints , the two sides established academies and colleges , including Princeton and Williams College . The Great Awakening has been called the first truly American event . The supporters of the Awakening and its evangelical thrust -- Presbyterians , Baptists , and Methodists -- became the largest American Protestant denominations by the first decades of the 19th century . By the 1770s , the Baptists were growing rapidly both in the north ( where they founded Brown University ) , and in the South . Opponents of the Awakening or those split by it -- Anglicans , Quakers , and Congregationalists -- were left behind . The First Great Awakening of the 1740s increased religiosity in most of the colonies . By 1780 the percentage of adult colonists who formally held membership in a church was between 10 - 30 % , not counting slaves or Native Americans . North Carolina had the lowest percentage at about 4 % , while New Hampshire and South Carolina were tied for the highest , at about 16 % . Many others informally associated with the churches . American Revolution ( edit ) The Revolution split some denominations , notably the Church of England , most of whose ministers supported the king . The Quakers and some German sects were pacifists and remained neutral . Religious practice suffered in certain places because of the absence of ministers and the destruction of churches , but in other areas , religion flourished . Badly hurt , the Anglicans reorganized after the war . It became the Protestant Episcopal Church . In 1794 , the Russian Orthodox missionary St. Herman of Alaska arrived on Kodiak island in Alaska and began significantly evangelizing the native peoples . Nearly all the Russians left in 1867 when the U.S. purchased Alaska , but the Eastern Orthodox faith remained . Lambert ( 2003 ) has examined the religious affiliations and beliefs of the Founding Fathers of the United States . Of the 55 delegates to the 1787 Constitutional Convention , 49 were Protestants , and two were Catholics ( D. Carroll , and Fitzsimons ) . Among the Protestant delegates to the Constitutional Convention , 28 were Church of England ( or Episcopalian , after the American Revolutionary War was won ) , eight were Presbyterians , seven were Congregationalists , two were Lutherans , two were Dutch Reformed , and two were Methodists . Church and state debate ( edit ) After independence , the American states were obliged to write constitutions establishing how each would be governed . For three years , from 1778 to 1780 , the political energies of Massachusetts were absorbed in drafting a charter of government that the voters would accept . One of the most contentious issues was whether the state would support the church financially . Advocating such a policy were the ministers and most members of the Congregational Church , which received public financial support , during the colonial period . The Baptists tenaciously adhered to their ancient conviction that churches should receive no support from the state . The Constitutional Convention chose to support the church and Article Three authorized a general religious tax to be directed to the church of a taxpayers ' choice . Such tax laws also took effect in Connecticut and New Hampshire . 19th century ( edit ) First Baptist Church in Minneapolis , Minnesota Separation of Church and state ( edit ) In October 1801 , members of the Danbury Baptists Associations wrote a letter to the new President - elect Thomas Jefferson . Baptists , being a minority in Connecticut , were still required to pay fees to support the Congregationalist majority . The Baptists found this intolerable . The Baptists , well aware of Jefferson 's own unorthodox beliefs , sought him as an ally in making all religious expression a fundamental human right and not a matter of government largesse . In his January 1 , 1802 , reply to the Danbury Baptist Association Jefferson summed up the First Amendment 's original intent , and used for the first time anywhere a now - familiar phrase in today 's political and judicial circles : the amendment established a `` wall of separation between church and state . '' Largely unknown in its day , this phrase has since become a major Constitutional issue . The first time the U.S. Supreme Court cited that phrase from Jefferson was in 1878 , 76 years later . Second Great Awakening ( edit ) Main article : Second Great Awakening The Second Great Awakening was a Protestant movement that began around 1790 , gained momentum by 1800 , and after 1820 membership rose rapidly among Baptist and Methodist congregations whose preachers led the movement . It was past its peak by the 1840s . It was a reaction against skepticism , deism , and rational Christianity , and was especially attractive to young women . Millions of new members enrolled in existing evangelical denominations and led to the formation of new denominations . Many converts believed that the Awakening heralded a new millennial age . The Second Great Awakening stimulated the establishment of many reform movements designed to remedy the evils of society before the anticipated Second Coming of Jesus Christ . During the Second Great Awakening , new Protestant denominations emerged such as Adventism , the Restoration Movement , and groups such as Jehovah 's Witnesses and Mormonism . While the First Great Awakening was centered on reviving the spirituality of established congregations , the Second focused on the unchurched and sought to instill in them a deep sense of personal salvation as experienced in revival meetings . The principal innovation produced by the revivals was the camp meeting . When assembled in a field or at the edge of a forest for a prolonged religious meeting , the participants transformed the site into a camp meeting . Singing and preaching were the main activities for several days . The revivals were often intense and created intense emotions . Some fell away but many if not most became permanent church members . The Methodists and Baptists made them one of the evangelical signatures of the denomination . African American churches ( edit ) The Christianity of the black population was grounded in evangelicalism . The Second Great Awakening has been called the `` central and defining event in the development of Afro - Christianity . '' During these revivals Baptists and Methodists converted large numbers of blacks . However , many were disappointed at the treatment they received from their fellow believers and at the backsliding in the commitment to abolish slavery that many white Baptists and Methodists had advocated immediately after the American Revolution . When their discontent could not be contained , forceful black leaders followed what was becoming an American habit -- they formed new denominations . In 1787 , Richard Allen and his colleagues in Philadelphia broke away from the Methodist Church and in 1815 founded the African Methodist Episcopal ( AME ) Church . After the Civil War , Black Baptists desiring to practice Christianity away from racial discrimination , rapidly set up several separate state Baptist conventions . In 1866 , black Baptists of the South and West combined to form the Consolidated American Baptist Convention . This convention eventually collapsed but three national conventions formed in response . In 1895 the three conventions merged to create the National Baptist Convention . It is now the largest African - American religious organization in the United States . Liberal Christianity ( edit ) St. Philip 's Church in the Highlands , an Episcopal church in Garrison , New York The `` secularization of society '' is attributed to the time of the Enlightenment . In the United States , religious observance is much higher than in Europe , and the United States ' culture leans conservative in comparison to other western nations , in part due to the Christian element . Liberal Christianity , exemplified by some theologians , sought to bring to churches new critical approaches to the Bible . Sometimes called `` liberal theology '' , liberal Christianity is an umbrella term covering movements and ideas within 19th - and 20th - century Christianity . New attitudes became evident , and the practice of questioning the nearly universally accepted Christian orthodoxy began to come to the forefront . In the post -- World War I era , liberalism was the faster - growing sector of the American church . Liberal wings of denominations were on the rise , and a considerable number of seminaries held and taught from a liberal perspective as well . In the post -- World War II era , the trend began to swing back towards the conservative camp in America 's seminaries and church structures . Catholic Church ( edit ) Saint Patrick 's Cathedral in New York City Main article : History of the Catholic Church in the United States See also : Catholic Church in the United States By 1850 Catholics had become the country 's largest single denomination . Between 1860 and 1890 the population of Catholics in the United States tripled through immigration ; by the end of the decade , it would reach seven million . These huge numbers of immigrant Catholics came from Ireland , Quebec , Southern Germany , Italy , Poland and Eastern Europe . This influx would eventually bring increased political power for the Catholic Church and a greater cultural presence led at the same time to a growing fear of the Catholic `` menace . '' As the 19th century wore on animosity waned , Protestant Americans realized that Catholics were not trying to seize control of the government . Fundamentalism ( edit ) Bethesda Temple Apostolic Church in Dayton , Ohio Christian fundamentalism began as a movement in the late 19th century and early 20th century to reject influences of secular humanism and source criticism in modern Christianity . In reaction to liberal Protestant groups that denied doctrines considered fundamental to these conservative groups , they sought to establish tenets necessary to maintaining a Christian identity , the `` fundamentals , '' hence the term fundamentalist . Over time , the movement divided , with the label Fundamentalist being retained by the smaller and more hard - line group ( s ) . Evangelical has become the main identifier of the groups holding to the movement 's moderate and earliest ideas . 20th century ( edit ) Evangelicalism ( edit ) Angelus Temple , an Evangelical venue In the U.S. and elsewhere in the world , there has been a marked rise in the evangelical wing of Protestant denominations , especially those that are more exclusively evangelical , and a corresponding decline in the mainstream liberal churches . The 1950s saw a boom in the Evangelical church in America . The post -- World War II prosperity experienced in the U.S. also had its effects on the church . Church buildings were erected in large numbers , and the Evangelical church 's activities grew along with this expansive physical growth . In the southern U.S. , the Evangelicals , represented by leaders such as Billy Graham , have experienced a notable surge displacing the caricature of the pulpit pounding country preachers of fundamentalism . The stereotypes have gradually shifted . Although the Evangelical community worldwide is diverse , the ties that bind all Evangelicals are still apparent : a `` high view '' of Scripture , belief in the Deity of Christ , the Trinity , salvation by grace through faith , and the bodily resurrection of Christ . National Associations ( edit ) The Federal Council of Churches , founded in 1908 , marked the first major expression of a growing modern ecumenical movement among Christians in the United States . It was active in pressing for reform of public and private policies , particularly as they impacted the lives of those living in poverty , and developed a comprehensive and widely debated Social Creed which served as a humanitarian `` bill of rights '' for those seeking improvements in American life . In 1950 , the National Council of the Churches of Christ in the USA ( usually identified as National Council of Churches , or NCC ) represented a dramatic expansion in the development of ecumenical cooperation . It was a merger of the Federal Council of Churches , the International Council of Religious Education , and several other interchurch ministries . Today , the NCC is a joint venture of 35 Christian denominations in the United States with 100,000 local congregations and 45,000,000 adherents . Its member communions include Mainline Protestant , Eastern Orthodox , Oriental Orthodox , African - American , Evangelical and historic Peace churches . The NCC took a prominent role in the Civil Rights movement and fostered the publication of the widely used Revised Standard Version of the Bible , followed by an updated New Revised Standard Version , the first translation to benefit from the discovery of the Dead Sea Scrolls . The organization is headquartered in New York City , with a public policy office in Washington , DC . The NCC is related fraternally to hundreds of local and regional councils of churches , to other national councils across the globe , and to the World Council of Churches . All of these bodies are independently governed . Carl McIntire led in organizing the American Council of Christian Churches ( ACCC ) , now with 7 member bodies , in September 1941 . It was a more militant and fundamentalist organization set up in opposition to what became the National Council of Churches . The National Association of Evangelicals for United Action was formed in St. Louis , Missouri on April 7 -- 9 , 1942 . It soon shortened its name to the National Association of Evangelicals ( NEA ) . There are currently 60 denominations with about 45,000 churches in the organization . The NEA is related fraternally the World Evangelical Fellowship . In 2006 , 39 communions and 7 Christian organizations officially launched Christian Churches Together in the USA ( CCT ) . CCT provides a space that is inclusive of the diversity of Christian traditions in the United States -- Evangelical / Pentecostal , Eastern Orthodox , Oriental Orthodox , Catholic , historic Protestant , and historic Black churches . CCT is characterized by its emphasis on relationships and prayer . Every year these communions and organizations meet over four days to discuss critical social issues , pray and strengthen their relationships . Pentecostalism ( edit ) Another noteworthy development in 20th - century Christianity was the rise of the modern Pentecostal movement . Pentecostalism , which had its roots in the Pietism and the Holiness movement , many will cite that it arose out of the meetings in 1906 at an urban mission on Azusa Street in Los Angeles , but it actually started in 1900 in Topeka , Kansas with a group led by Charles Parham and the Bethel Bible School < https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_Fox_Parham > From there it spread by those who experienced what they believed to be miraculous moves of God there . Pentecostalism would later birth the Charismatic movement within already established denominations , and it continues to be an important force in Western Christianity . Catholic Church ( edit ) By the beginning of the 20th century , approximately one - sixth of the population of the United States was Catholic . Modern Catholic immigrants come to the United States from the Philippines , Poland , and Latin America , especially from Mexico . This multiculturalism and diversity have greatly impacted the flavor of Catholicism in the United States . For example , many dioceses serve in both the English language and the Spanish language . Youth programs ( edit ) While children and youth in the colonial era were treated as small adults , awareness of their special status and needs grew in the nineteenth century , as one after another the denominations large and small began special programs for their young people . Protestant theologian Horace Bushnell in Christian Nurture ( 1847 ) emphasized the necessity of identifying and supporting the religiosity of children and young adults . Beginning in the 1790s the Protestant denominations set up Sunday school programs . They provided a major source of new members . Urban Protestant churchmen set up the interdenominational YMCA ( and later the YWCA ) programs in cities from the 1850s . Methodists looked on their youth as potential political activists , providing them with opportunities to engage in social justice movements such as prohibition . Black Protestants , especially after they could form their own separate churches , integrated their young people directly into the larger religious community . Their youth played a major role in the leadership of the Civil Rights movement of the 1950s and the 1960s . White evangelicals in the twentieth century set up Bible clubs for teenagers and experimented with the use of music to attract young people . The Catholics set up an entire network of parochial schools , and by the late nineteenth century probably more than half of their young members were attending elementary schools run by local parishes . Some Missouri Synod German Lutherans and Dutch Reformed churches also set up parochial schools . In the twentieth century , all the denominations sponsored programs such as the Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts . Demographics ( edit ) Demographics by state ( edit ) Numbers in the chart below come from statistics collected by the ASARB in surveys of the churches themselves . Congregational `` adherents '' include all full members , their children , and others who regularly attend services . Beliefs and attitudes ( edit ) The Baylor University Institute for Studies of Religion conducted a survey covering various aspects of American religious life . The researchers analyzing the survey results have categorized the responses into what they call the `` four Gods '' : An authoritarian God ( 31 % ) , a benevolent God ( 25 % ) , a distant God ( 23 % ) , and a critical God ( 16 % ) . A major implication to emerge from this survey is that `` the type of god people believe in can predict their political and moral attitudes more so than just looking at their religious tradition . '' As far as religious tradition , the survey determined that 33.6 % of respondents are evangelical Protestants , while 10.8 % had no religious affiliation at all . Out of those without affiliation , 62.9 % still indicated that they `` believe in God or some higher power '' . Another study , conducted by Christianity Today with Leadership magazine , attempted to understand the range and differences among American Christians . A national attitudinal and behavioral survey found that their beliefs and practices clustered into five distinct segments . Spiritual growth for two large segments of Christians may be occurring in non-traditional ways . Instead of attending church on Sunday mornings , many opt for personal , individual ways to stretch themselves spiritually . 19 percent of American Christians are described by the researchers as Active Christians . They believe salvation comes through Jesus Christ , attend church regularly , are Bible readers , invest in personal faith development through their church , accept leadership positions in their church , and believe they are obligated to `` share ( their ) faith '' , that is , to evangelize others . 20 percent are referred to as Professing Christians . They are also committed to `` accepting Christ as Savior and Lord '' as the key to being a Christian , but focus more on personal relationships with God and Jesus than on church , Bible reading or evangelizing . 16 percent fall into a category named Liturgical Christians . They are predominantly Lutheran , Catholic , Episcopalian , Eastern Orthodox or Oriental Orthodox . They are regular churchgoers , have a high level of spiritual activity and recognize the authority of the church . 24 percent are considered Private Christians . They own a Bible but do n't tend to read it . Only about one - third attend church at all . They believe in God and in doing good things , but not necessarily within a church context . This was the largest and youngest segment . Almost none are church leaders . 21 percent in the research are called Cultural Christians . These do not view Jesus as essential to salvation . They exhibit little outward religious behavior or attitudes . They favor a universality theology that sees many ways to God . Yet , they clearly consider themselves to be Christians . Church attendance ( edit ) Gallup International indicates that 41 % of American citizens report they regularly attend religious services , compared to 15 % of French citizens , 10 % of UK citizens , and 7.5 % of Australian citizens . By state ( edit ) Church or synagogue attendance by state Church attendance varies significantly by state and region . In a 2014 Gallup survey , less than half of Americans said that they attended church or synagogue weekly . The figures ranged from 51 % in Utah to 17 % in Vermont . Weekly church attendance by state Rank State Percent Utah 51 % Mississippi 47 % Alabama 46 % Louisiana 46 % 5 Arkansas 45 % 6 South Carolina 42 % 6 Tennessee 42 % 8 Kentucky 41 % 9 North Carolina 40 % 10 Georgia 39 % 10 Oklahoma 39 % 10 Texas 39 % 13 New Mexico 36 % 14 Delaware 35 % 14 Indiana 35 % 14 Missouri 35 % 14 Nebraska 35 % 14 Virginia 35 % 19 Idaho 34 % 19 West Virginia 34 % 21 Arizona 33 % 21 Kansas 33 % 21 Florida 32 % 21 Illinois 32 % 21 Iowa 32 % 21 Michigan 32 % 21 North Dakota 32 % 21 Ohio 32 % 21 Pennsylvania 32 % 30 Maryland 31 % 30 Minnesota 31 % 30 South Dakota 31 % 33 New Jersey 30 % 34 Wisconsin 29 % 35 California 28 % 35 Rhode Island 28 % 35 Wyoming 28 % 38 Montana 27 % 38 Nevada 27 % 38 New York 27 % 41 Alaska 26 % 42 Colorado 25 % 42 Connecticut 25 % 42 Hawaii 25 % 45 Oregon 24 % 45 Washington 24 % 47 District of Columbia 23 % 48 Massachusetts 22 % 49 Maine 20 % 49 New Hampshire 20 % 51 Vermont 17 % Race ( edit ) Data from the Pew Research Center show that as of 2008 , the majority of White Americans were Christian , and about 51 % of the White American were Protestant , and 26 % were Catholic . The most methodologically rigorous study of Hispanic and Latino Americans religious affiliation to date was the Hispanic Churches in American Public Life ( HCAPL ) National Survey , conducted between August and October 2000 . This survey found that 70 % of all Hispanic and Latino Americans are Catholic , 20 % are Protestant , 3 % are `` alternative Christians '' ( such as Mormon or Jehovah 's Witnesses ) . The majority of African Americans are Protestant ( 78 % ) , many of whom follow the historically black churches . A 2012 Pew Research Center study found that 42 % of the Asian Americans identify themselves as Christians . Ethnicity ( edit ) Beginning around 1600 , European settlers introduced Anglican and Puritan religion , as well as Baptist , Presbyterian , Lutheran , Quaker , and Moravian denominations . Beginning in the 16th century , the Spanish ( and later the French and English ) introduced Catholicism . From the 19th century to the present , Catholics came to the US in large numbers due to the immigration of Italians , Hispanics , Portuguese , French , Polish , Irish , Highland Scots , Dutch , Flemish , Hungarians , Germans , Lebanese ( Maronite ) , and other ethnic groups . Most of the Eastern Orthodox adherents in the United States are descended from immigrants of Eastern European or Middle Eastern background , especially from Greek , Russian , Ukrainian , Arab , Bulgarian , Romanian , or Serb backgrounds . Most of the Oriental Orthodox adherents in the United States are from Ethiopian , Armenian , Coptic backgrounds . Most of the traditional Church of the East adherents in the United States are from Assyrian background . Data from the Pew Research Center show that as of 2013 , there were about 1.6 million Christians from Jewish background , most of them Protestant . According to the same data , most of the Christians of Jewish descent were raised as Jews or are Jews by ancestry . Conversion ( edit ) A study from 2015 estimated some 450,000 American Muslims who had converted to Christianity , most of whom belong to an evangelical or Pentecostal community . In 2010 there were approximately 180,000 Arab - Americans and about 130,000 Iranian Americans who converted from Islam to Christianity . Dudley Woodbury , a Fulbright scholar of Islam , estimates that 20,000 Muslims convert to Christianity annually in the United States . It 's been also reported that conversion into Christianity is significantly increasing among Korean Americans , Chinese Americans , and Japanese Americans . By 2012 , the percentage of Christians within the mentioned communities was 71 % , more than 30 % and 37 % . Messianic Judaism ( or Messianic Movement ) is the name of a Christian movement comprising a number of streams , whose members may consider themselves Jewish . It blends elements of religious Jewish practice with evangelical Christianity . Messianic Judaism affirms Christian creeds such as the messiahship and divinity of `` Yeshua '' ( the Hebrew name of Jesus ) and the Triune Nature of God , while also adhering to some Jewish dietary laws and customs . As of 2012 , population estimates for the United States were between 175,000 and 250,000 members .

As writer / producers , Feldman , Goldstein and Gottehrer had already scored big hits for other artists , including `` My Boyfriend 's Back '' by the Angels . For this song , the trio took on the moniker of the Strangeloves , and recorded the tune themselves , augmented by studio musicians ( co-writer Berns was not involved in the studio recording ) . The female vocalist heard half - screaming , half - singing `` Baby ! '' in the middle of the track was an unknown session singer . Although Feldman , Goldstein and Gottehrer used their real names in the writing and production credits of this single , they claimed the Strangeloves were actually three Australian brothers ( and ex-sheep farmers ) named Giles , Miles and Niles Strange . Feldman , Goldstein and Gottehrer dressed up in shaggy wigs and exotic clothing for publicity photos as the Strangeloves . `` I Want Candy '' , the Strangeloves ' second single , became a top 10 hit in Canada and hit No. 11 in the US . The record failed to chart in the UK -- or in the Strangeloves ' so - called `` native '' country , Australia .

For many in America , `` I Want Candy '' was their first introduction to young lead singer Annabella Lwin and the band . The song barely scraped the Top 50 , but became an enduring new wave classic . To capitalize on the success of the `` I Want Candy '' music video , RCA compiled an album called I Want Candy for their newfound American audience . The album peaked at No. 123 on the Billboard 200 . The Bow Wow Wow recording appeared on two VH1 countdowns : No. 86 on VH1 's `` 100 Greatest Songs of the ' 80s '' No. 8 on VH1 's `` 100 Greatest One Hit Wonders of the ' 80s '' Charts ( edit ) Chart ( 1982 ) Peak position Australia ( Kent Music Report ) 39 Belgium ( Ultratop 50 Flanders ) 30 Ireland ( IRMA ) 7 Netherlands ( Dutch Top 40 ) 26 Netherlands ( Single Top 100 ) 23 New Zealand ( Recorded Music NZ ) 30 UK Singles ( Official Charts Company ) 9 US Billboard Hot 100 62 US Billboard Hot Dance Club Play 36 US Billboard Top Tracks 22 US Cash Box 61 Aaron Carter version ( edit ) `` I Want Candy '' Single by Aaron Carter from the album Aaron 's Party ( Come Get It ) B - side `` Jump , Jump '' Released 2000 ( U.S. ) Length 3 : 16 Label Jive Zomba Songwriter ( s ) Bert Berns Bob Feldman Jerry Goldstein Richard Gottehrer Aaron Carter singles chronology `` Children of the World '' ( 1999 ) `` I Want Candy '' ( 2000 ) `` Aaron 's Party ( Come Get It ) '' ( 2000 ) `` Children of the World '' ( 1999 ) `` I Want Candy '' ( 2000 ) `` Aaron 's Party ( Come Get It ) '' ( 2000 ) Aaron Carter released a cover of `` I Want Candy '' as his seventh overall single , and the second single from his second album , Aaron 's Party ( Come Get It ) ( 2000 ) . This version of `` I Want Candy '' begins with a phone conversation with a friend about a girl named Candy and features the participation of his brother Nick Carter from the Backstreet Boys . Carter promoted it by performing it on the show Lizzie McGuire . A music video was produced to promote the single , directed by Andrew MacNaughtan .

The song was also the soundtrack to the movie of the same name , and the video featured Melanie dancing for the first time since the Spice Girls . Melanie split her time between the UK and Europe , where she was promoting `` The Moment You Believe '' , and as a result , the single was not heavily promoted and reached No. 24 -- although on the physical chart , the single reached No. 7 . `` I Want Candy '' went on to sell 12,510 copies in the UK , but had better success in Italy ( No. 9 ) and Denmark ( No. 12 ) . Melanie premiered her version of the song during Al Murray 's Happy Hour on ITV1 on 24 February 2007 . The video was premiered on 2 March 2007 in the UK . The song was released as Italy 's and Denmark 's first single from the new album , where it reached No. 9 in both countries , while in other European countries , the ballad `` The Moment You Believe '' was chosen . Music video ( edit ) In the video for `` I Want Candy '' , Melanie C is featured in a skin - tight catsuit , featuring a sexually suggestive dance routine with half - naked bodybuilders in crowd - controller uniforms . The video instantly grabbed the No. 1 spot on YouTube with 200,000 hits in its first day .

-3314155186957581063 | Plankton | Plankton - wikipedia Plankton This is the latest accepted revision , reviewed on 31 December 2017 . Jump to : navigation , search This article is about the marine organisms . For other uses , see Plankton ( disambiguation ) . Photomontage of planktonic organisms Plankton ( singular plankter ) are the diverse collection of organisms that live in large bodies of water and are unable to swim against a current . They provide a crucial source of food to many large aquatic organisms , such as fish and whales . These organisms include bacteria , archaea , algae , protozoa and drifting or floating animals that inhabit -- for example -- the pelagic zone of oceans , seas , or bodies of fresh water . Essentially , plankton are defined by their ecological niche rather than any phylogenetic or taxonomic classification . Though many planktonic species are microscopic in size , plankton includes organisms over a wide range of sizes , including large organisms such as jellyfish . Technically the term does not include organisms on the surface of the water , which are called pleuston -- or those that swim actively in the water , which are called nekton . Contents ( hide ) 1 Terminology 2 Trophic groups 3 Size groups 4 Distribution 5 Ecological significance 5.1 Food chain 5.2 Carbon cycle 5.3 Oxygen production 6 Biomass variability 7 Importance to fish 8 See also 9 References 10 Further reading 11 External links Terminology ( edit ) Some marine diatoms -- a key phytoplankton group The name plankton is derived from the Greek adjective πλαγκτός ( planktos ) , meaning errant , and by extension , wanderer or drifter , and was coined by Victor Hensen in 1887 . While some forms are capable of independent movement and can swim hundreds of meters vertically in a single day ( a behavior called diel vertical migration ) , their horizontal position is primarily determined by the surrounding water movement , and plankton typically flow with ocean currents . This is in contrast to nekton organisms , such as fish , squid and marine mammals , which can swim against the ambient flow and control their position in the environment . Within the plankton , holoplankton spend their entire life cycle as plankton ( e.g. most algae , copepods , salps , and some jellyfish ) . By contrast , meroplankton are only planktic for part of their lives ( usually the larval stage ) , and then graduate to either a nektic ( swimming ) or benthic ( sea floor ) existence . Examples of meroplankton include the larvae of sea urchins , starfish , crustaceans , marine worms , and most fish . Plankton abundance and distribution are strongly dependent on factors such as ambient nutrient concentrations , the physical state of the water column , and the abundance of other plankton . The study of plankton is termed planktology and a planktonic individual is referred to as a plankter . The adjective planktonic is widely used in both the scientific and popular literature , and is a generally accepted term . However , from the standpoint of prescriptive grammar , the less commonly used planktic is more strictly the correct adjective . When deriving English words from their Greek or Latin roots , the gender - specific ending ( in this case `` - on , '' which indicates the word is neuter ) is normally dropped , using only the root of the word in the derivation . Trophic groups ( edit ) An amphipod ( Hyperia macrocephala ) Plankton are primarily divided into broad functional ( or trophic level ) groups : Phytoplankton ( from Greek phyton , or plant ) , autotrophic prokaryotic or eukaryotic algae that live near the water surface where there is sufficient light to support photosynthesis . Among the more important groups are the diatoms , cyanobacteria , dinoflagellates and coccolithophores . Zooplankton ( from Greek zoon , or animal ) , small protozoans or metazoans ( e.g. crustaceans and other animals ) that feed on other plankton . Some of the eggs and larvae of larger nektonic animals , such as fish , crustaceans , and annelids , are included here . Bacterioplankton , bacteria and archaea , which play an important role in remineralising organic material down the water column ( note that prokaryotic phytoplankton are also bacterioplankton ) . Mycoplankton , fungi and fungus - like organisms , which , like bacterioplankton , are also significant in remineralisation and nutrient cycling . This scheme divides the plankton community into broad producer , consumer and recycler groups . However , determining the trophic level of many plankton is not always straightforward . For example , although most dinoflagellates are either photosynthetic producers or heterotrophic consumers , many species perform both roles . In this mixed trophic strategy -- known as mixotrophy -- organisms act as both producers and consumers , either at the same time or switching between modes of nutrition in response to ambient conditions . For instance , relying on photosynthesis for growth when nutrients and light are abundant , but switching to predation when growing conditions are poor . Recognition of the importance of mixotrophy as an ecological strategy is increasing , as well as the wider role this may play in marine biogeochemistry . Size groups ( edit ) Macroplankton : a Janthina janthina snail ( with bubble float ) cast up onto a beach in Maui Plankton are also often described in terms of size . Usually the following divisions are used : Group Size range ( ESD ) Examples Megaplankton > 20 cm metazoans ; e.g. jellyfish ; ctenophores ; salps and pyrosomes ( pelagic Tunicata ) ; Cephalopoda ; Amphipoda Macroplankton 2 → 20 cm metazoans ; e.g. Pteropods ; Chaetognaths ; Euphausiacea ( krill ) ; Medusae ; ctenophores ; salps , doliolids and pyrosomes ( pelagic Tunicata ) ; Cephalopoda ; Janthinidae ( one family of gastropods ) ; Amphipoda Mesoplankton 0.2 → 20 mm metazoans ; e.g. copepods ; Medusae ; Cladocera ; Ostracoda ; Chaetognaths ; Pteropods ; Tunicata ; Heteropoda Microplankton 20 → 200 μm large eukaryotic protists ; most phytoplankton ; Protozoa Foraminifera ; tintinnids ; other ciliates ; Rotifera ; juvenile metazoans - Crustacea ( copepod nauplii ) Nanoplankton 2 → 20 μm small eukaryotic protists ; Small Diatoms ; Small Flagellates ; Pyrrophyta ; Chrysophyta ; Chlorophyta ; Xanthophyta Picoplankton 0.2 → 2 μm small eukaryotic protists ; bacteria ; Chrysophyta Femtoplankton < 0.2 μm marine viruses However , some of these terms may be used with very different boundaries , especially on the larger end . The existence and importance of nano - and even smaller plankton was only discovered during the 1980s , but they are thought to make up the largest proportion of all plankton in number and diversity . The microplankton and smaller groups are microorganisms and operate at low Reynolds numbers , where the viscosity of water is much more important than its mass or inertia . Distribution ( edit ) World distribution of plankton Plankton inhabit oceans , seas , lakes , ponds . Local abundance varies horizontally , vertically and seasonally . The primary cause of this variability is the availability of light . All plankton ecosystems are driven by the input of solar energy ( but see chemosynthesis ) , confining primary production to surface waters , and to geographical regions and seasons having abundant light . A secondary variable is nutrient availability . Although large areas of the tropical and sub-tropical oceans have abundant light , they experience relatively low primary production because they offer limited nutrients such as nitrate , phosphate and silicate . This results from large - scale ocean circulation and water column stratification . In such regions , primary production usually occurs at greater depth , although at a reduced level ( because of reduced light ) . Despite significant macronutrient concentrations , some ocean regions are unproductive ( so - called HNLC regions ) . The micronutrient iron is deficient in these regions , and adding it can lead to the formation of phytoplankton blooms . Iron primarily reaches the ocean through the deposition of dust on the sea surface . Paradoxically , oceanic areas adjacent to unproductive , arid land thus typically have abundant phytoplankton ( e.g. , the eastern Atlantic Ocean , where trade winds bring dust from the Sahara Desert in north Africa ) . While plankton are most abundant in surface waters , they live throughout the water column . At depths where no primary production occurs , zooplankton and bacterioplankton instead consume organic material sinking from more productive surface waters above . This flux of sinking material , so - called marine snow , can be especially high following the termination of spring blooms . Ecological significance ( edit ) Food chain ( edit ) Aside from representing the bottom few levels of a food chain that supports commercially important fisheries , plankton ecosystems play a role in the biogeochemical cycles of many important chemical elements , including the ocean 's carbon cycle . Carbon cycle ( edit ) Primarily by grazing on phytoplankton , zooplankton provide carbon to the planktic foodweb , either respiring it to provide metabolic energy , or upon death as biomass or detritus . Organic material tends to be denser than seawater , so it sinks into open ocean ecosystems away from the coastlines , transporting carbon along with it . This process , called the biological pump , is one reason that oceans constitute the largest carbon sink on Earth . It might be possible to increase the ocean 's uptake of carbon dioxide ( CO 2 ) generated through human activities by increasing plankton production through seeding , primarily with the micronutrient iron . However , this technique may not be practical at a large scale . Ocean oxygen depletion and resultant methane production ( caused by the excess production remineralising at depth ) is one potential drawback . Oxygen production ( edit ) Phytoplankton absorb energy from the Sun and nutrients from the water to produce their own nourishment or energy . In the process of photosynthesis , phytoplankton release molecular oxygen ( O 2 ) into the water as a waste biproduct . It is estimated that about 50 % of the world 's oxygen is produced via phytoplankton photosynthesis . The rest is produced via photosynthesis on land by plants . Furthermore , phytoplankton photosynthesis has controlled the atmospheric CO 2 / O 2 balance since the early Precambrian Eon . Biomass variability ( edit ) The growth of phytoplankton populations is dependent on light levels and nutrient availability . The chief factor limiting growth varies from region to region in the world 's oceans . On a broad scale , growth of phytoplankton in the oligotrophic tropical and subtropical gyres is generally limited by nutrient supply , while light often limits phytoplankton growth in subarctic gyres . Environmental variability at multiple scales influences the nutrient and light available for phytoplankton , and as these organisms form the base of the marine food web , this variability in phytoplankton growth influences higher trophic levels . For example , at interannual scales phytoplankton levels temporarily plummet during El Niño periods , influencing populations of zooplankton , fishes , sea birds , and marine mammals . The effects of anthropogenic warming on the global population of phytoplankton is an area of active research . Changes in the vertical stratification of the water column , the rate of temperature - dependent biological reactions , and the atmospheric supply of nutrients are expected to have important impacts on future phytoplankton productivity . Additionally , changes in the mortality of phytoplankton due to rates of zooplankton grazing may be significant . Freshly hatched fish larvae are also plankton for a few days , as long as it takes before they can swim against currents .

From the Thau Lagoon of Sète , France Importance to fish ( edit ) Zooplankton are the initial prey item for almost all fish larvae as they switch from their yolk sacs to external feeding . Fish rely on the density and distribution of zooplankton to match that of new larvae , which can otherwise starve . Natural factors ( e.g. , current variations ) and man - made factors ( e.g. river dams ) can strongly affect zooplankton , which can in turn strongly affect larval survival , and therefore breeding success . The importance of both phytoplankton and zooplankton is also well - recognized in extensive and semi-intensive pond fish farming . Plankton population based pond management strategies for fish rearing have been practised by traditional fish farmers for decades , illustrating the importance of plankton even in man - made environments .

5639684328689152962 | History of the New York Rangers | History of the New York Rangers - wikipedia History of the New York Rangers Jump to : navigation , search The history of the New York Rangers hockey team began in 1926 when the NHL granted a franchise to Tex Rickard , the founder of the team . The Rangers experienced early success , winning the Stanley Cup in only their second season of existence , and would go on to win two more in the next 12 years . After their Cup win in 1940 , the Rangers then suffered through one of the longest championship droughts in NHL history , which became known as the Curse of 1940 . The 54 - year drought ended with a Cup win in 1994 by a team led by captain Mark Messier , Brian Leetch , Adam Graves , and Mike Richter , all of whose numbers have since been retired by the team .

The Amerks proved to be a greater success than expected , leading Garden president Tex Rickard to seek his own franchise for the Garden , despite promising the Amerks that they would be the only hockey team to play there . Rickard was granted a franchise , which he originally planned to name the `` New York Giants '' . By the time the franchise was granted in April 1926 , the name `` New York Rangers Professional Hockey Club '' was the official name . The origin of the name Rangers , as in `` Tex 's Rangers '' is variously attributed to Rickard himself or the New York press . Rickard managed to get future legendary Toronto Maple Leafs owner Conn Smythe to assemble the team . At the time , there was no expansion draft in the NHL to help new teams ice competitive rosters , which in any other year would have made assembling a playoff contender extremely difficult . However , 1926 also happened to be the year the NHL 's last major rival of its early era ( the Western Hockey League ) went out of business , so there was an abundance of top - caliber hockey talent searching for new clubs . The owners of the Rangers ' expansion cousins ( the Detroit Cougars and Chicago Black Hawks ) opted to purchase entire WHL rosters ( the Victoria Cougars and Portland Rosebuds respectively ) to stock their teams . Smythe eschewed this approach , opting instead to sign who he felt were the best players from the remaining four WHL teams as well as a few NHL castaways he felt the other teams had misjudged . Smythe had a falling - out with Rickard 's hockey man , Col. John S. Hammond , and was fired as manager - coach on the eve of the first season -- he was paid a then - hefty $10,000 to leave . Smythe was replaced by Pacific Coast Hockey Association co-founder Lester Patrick , who kept all of the players Smythe had assembled . Smythe 's approach to building the team paid quick dividends , as Rangers turned out to be a winner . The Rangers won the American Division title their first year but lost to the Boston Bruins in the playoffs . The team 's early success led to players becoming minor celebrities and fixtures in New York City 's Roaring Twenties nightlife . It was also during this time , playing at the Garden on 48th Street , blocks away from Times Square , that the Rangers obtained their now - famous nickname `` The Broadway Blueshirts '' . 1927 -- 1928 Stanley Cup ( edit ) In only their second season , the Rangers won the Stanley Cup , defeating the Montreal Maroons three games to two . One of the most memorable stories that emerged from the Finals involved Patrick playing in goal at the age of 44 . At the time , teams were not required to dress a backup goaltender so when the Rangers ' regular goaltender , Lorne Chabot , left a game with an eye injury , Maroons head coach Eddie Gerard vetoed his original choice for a replacement ( who was Alex Connell , another NHL goalie of the old Ottawa Senators who was in attendance for the game ) . An angry Patrick lined up between the pipes for two periods in game two of the Stanley Cup Finals , allowing one goal to Maroons center Nels Stewart . Frank Boucher would score the game - winning goal in overtime for New York . An expansion team would not come this far this fast in North American professional sports until the Philadelphia Atoms won the North American Soccer League title in their first year of existence . 1932 -- 1933 Stanley Cup ( edit ) After a loss to the Bruins in the 1928 -- 29 finals and a few mediocre seasons in the early 1930s , the Rangers , led by brothers Bill and Bun Cook on the right and left wings , respectively , and Frank Boucher at center , would defeat the Toronto Maple Leafs in the 1932 -- 33 best - of - five finals , three games to one , to win their second Stanley Cup , exacting revenge on the Leafs ' `` Kid line '' of Busher Jackson , Joe Primeau , and Charlie Conacher . The Rangers would spend the rest of the 1930s playing close to . 500 hockey until their next Cup win . Lester Patrick stepped down as head coach and was replaced by Frank Boucher . 1939 -- 1940 Stanley Cup ( edit ) In 1939 -- 40 , the Rangers finished the regular season in second place behind the Boston Bruins . The two teams would meet in the first round of the playoffs . The Bruins gained a two - games - to - one series lead from the Rangers until they recovered to win three straight games , defeating the first - place Bruins four games to two . The Rangers ' first - round victory gave them a bye until the finals . The Detroit Red Wings disposed of the New York Americans in their first round best - of - three series two games to one ( even as the Americans had analytical and notorious ex-Bruins star Eddie Shore ) and the Toronto Maple Leafs ousted the Chicago Black Hawks two games to none . The Maple Leafs and Red Wings would play a best - of - three series to determine who would go on to play the Rangers in the Cup Finals . The Maple Leafs swept the Red Wings and the Finals match - up was determined . The 1940 Stanley Cup Finals started in Madison Square Garden in New York . The first two games went to the Rangers . In game one the Rangers needed overtime to gain a 1 -- 0 series lead , but they won game two more easily with a 6 -- 2 victory . The series then headed to Toronto where the Maple Leafs won the next two games , tying the series 2 -- 2 . In games five and six , the Rangers won in overtime , taking the series four games to two to earn their third Stanley Cup . The Rangers would collapse by the mid-1940s , losing games by as much as 15 -- 0 and having one goaltender with a 6.20 goals - against average . They would miss the playoffs for five consecutive seasons before squeaking into the fourth and final playoff spot in 1948 . They lost in the first round and would miss the playoffs again in 1949 . In the 1950 finals , the Rangers were forced to play all of their games on the road ( home games in Toronto ) while the circus was at the Garden . They would end up losing to the Detroit Red Wings in overtime in the seventh game of the finals , despite a stellar first - round performance as underdogs to the Montreal Canadiens . During this time , Red Wings owner James E. Norris became the largest stockholder in the Garden . However , he did not buy controlling interest in the arena , which would have violated the NHL 's rule against one person owning more than one team . Nonetheless , he had enough support on the board to exercise de facto control . The post-original six era ( edit ) The Rangers missed the playoffs in 12 of the next 16 seasons . However , the team was rejuvenated in the late 1960s , symbolized by moving into a newly - rebuilt Madison Square Garden in 1968 . A year earlier , they had made the playoffs for the first time in five years on the strength of rookie goaltender Eddie Giacomin and acquired 1950s Montreal Canadiens star right wing Bernie `` Boom Boom '' Geoffrion . The Rangers made the Finals twice in the 1970s , but lost both times to two 1970s powerhouses ; in six games to the Boston Bruins in 1972 , who were led by such stars as Bobby Orr , Phil Esposito , Ken Hodge , Johnny Bucyk , and Wayne Cashman ; and in five games to the Canadiens in 1979 , who had Bob Gainey , Guy Lafleur , Larry Robinson , Ken Dryden , Guy Lapointe , and Serge Savard . This time the Rangers had Esposito , but it did n't matter , as the Canadiens were dominant . By 1972 , the Rangers reached the Stanley Cup Finals despite losing high - scoring center Jean Ratelle ( who had been on pace over Bruin Phil Esposito to become the first Ranger since Bryan Hextall in 1942 to lead the NHL in scoring ) to injury during the stretch drive of the regular season . The strength of players like Brad Park , Ratelle , Vic Hadfield , and Rod Gilbert ( the last three constructing the famed `` GAG line '' , meaning `` goal - a-game '' ) would still carry them through the playoffs . They would defeat the defending - champion Canadiens in the first round and the Chicago Blackhawks in the second , but lost to the Bruins in the finals . The Rangers played a legendary semifinal series against the Philadelphia Flyers in the 1973 -- 74 playoffs . This series was noted for a game seven fight between Dale Rolfe of the Rangers and Dave Schultz of the Flyers . Schultz pummeled Rolfe without anyone on the Rangers lifting a finger to protect him ( the GAG line was on the ice at the time ) . This led to the belief that the Rangers of that period were soft , especially when taking into account the bullying endured by the Rangers during the 1972 finals . One example is Gilbert 's beating at the hands of Derek Sanderson of the Bruins . Their new rivals , the New York Islanders , who entered the league in 1972 after paying a huge territorial fee -- some $4 million -- to the Rangers , were their first - round opponent in 1975 . After splitting the first two games , the Islanders defeated the more - established Rangers eleven seconds into overtime of the deciding game three , establishing a rivalry that continued to grow for years . After some off years in the mid-to - late 1970s , they picked up Esposito and Carol Vadnais from the Bruins for Park , Ratelle , and Joe Zanussi in 1975 . Swedish stars Anders Hedberg and Ulf Nilsson jumped to the Rangers from the maverick World Hockey Association . And in 1979 they defeated the surging Islanders in the semi-finals and would return to the finals again before bowing out to the Canadiens . The Islanders got their revenge , however , eliminating the Rangers in four consecutive playoff series starting in 1981 en route to their second of four consecutive Stanley Cup titles . The Rangers stayed competitive through the 1980s and early 1990s , making the playoffs each year except for one but never going very far . An exception was 1985 -- 86 , when the Rangers , behind rookie goaltender John Vanbiesbrouck , upended the Patrick Division - winning Flyers in five games followed by a six - game win over the Washington Capitals in the Patrick Division Finals . Montreal disposed of the Rangers in the Wales Conference Finals behind a rookie goaltender of their own , Patrick Roy . The Rangers then acquired superstar center Marcel Dionne after almost 12 years as a Los Angeles King the next year . In 1988 , Dionne moved into third place in career goals scored ( since bettered by Brett Hull ) . But Dionne 's always - churning legs started to slow the next year , thereby ensuring that his goals came further and further apart . `` Because you love the game so much , you think it will never end '' , said Dionne , who spent nine games in the minors before retiring in 1989 . He would only play 49 playoff games in 17 seasons with the Rangers , Kings , and Detroit Red Wings . The many playoff failures convinced Rangers fans that this was a manifestation of the Curse of 1940 , which is said to either have begun when the Rangers management burnt the mortgage to Madison Square Garden in the bowl of the Stanley Cup after the 1940 victory or by Red Dutton following the collapse of the New York Americans franchise . In the early 1980s , Islander fans began chanting `` 1940 ! 1940 ! '' to taunt the Rangers . Fans in other cities soon picked up the chant . Frustration was at its peak when the 1991 -- 92 squad captured the Presidents ' Trophy . They took a 2 - 1 series lead on the defending champion Pittsburgh Penguins and then faltered in three straight ( most observers note a Ron Francis slapshot from the blue line that eluded Mike Richter as the series ' turning point ) . The following year , injuries and a 1 - 11 finish landed the Rangers in the cellar of the Patrick Division after being in a playoff position for much of the season . Coach Roger Neilson did not finish the season . The off - season hiring of controversial head coach Mike Keenan was criticized by many who pointed out Keenan 's 0 -- 3 record in the finals . During this period , the Rangers were owned by Gulf + Western , which was renamed to Paramount Communications in 1989 , and sold to Viacom in 1994 . Viacom then sold the team to ITT Corporation and Cablevision , and a couple of years later , ITT sold their ownership stake to Cablevision , who still owns the team today 1993 -- 1994 Stanley Cup : the ending of the Curse ( edit ) The 1993 -- 94 season was a successful one for Rangers fans , as Mike Keenan led the Rangers to their first Stanley Cup championship in 54 years . Two years prior , they picked up center Mark Messier ( now with the Rangers as special assistant to president and general manager ) , who was a part of the Edmonton Oilers ' Cup - winning teams . Adam Graves , who also came from the Oilers , joined the Rangers as well . Other ex-Oilers on the Rangers included Esa Tikkanen and trade deadline acquisitions Oilers Captain Craig MacTavish and Glenn Anderson from the Toronto Maple Leafs . Graves would set a team record with 52 goals , breaking the old record of 50 held by Vic Hadfield . This record would later be broken by Jaromír Jágr on April 8 , 2006 , against the Boston Bruins . The Rangers clinched the Presidents ' Trophy by finishing with the best record in the NHL at 52 -- 24 -- 8 , setting a franchise record with 112 points . Their winning of the inaugural Atlantic Division title was only one of three times that the division title was n't won by two of their biggest rivals , the New Jersey Devils and the Philadelphia Flyers . The Rangers successfully made it past the first two rounds of the playoffs , sweeping the New York Islanders , who were seeded eighth in the first round , and then breezed by the Washington Capitals , seeded seventh , in five . However , things got interesting in the Conference Finals against the third - seeded Devils . The Rangers lost the series opener at home in double overtime , but won the next two games before the Devils beat the New York offense and defeated them 3 - 1 and 4 - 1 . The series headed back to the Meadowlands for the next game , but the day before that sixth game , Rangers ' captain Mark Messier stepped up and guaranteed a win . Keenan said of the guarantee : `` Mark was sending a message to his teammates that he believed together we could win . He put on an amazing performance to make sure it happened . '' In that sixth game , Messier rose to the occasion and scored three times in the final period to lead the Rangers to a 4 - 2 win and set up a seventh game back at Madison Square Garden . The Rangers won game seven 2 - 1 , when Stéphane Matteau scored a goal in double overtime , leading the team to the finals for the first time since 1979 . Up against the Vancouver Canucks , the Cinderella team from the west , the Rangers again lost the series opener at home in overtime . Brian Leetch hit the crossbar at one end , and the Canucks going down to score the winner at the other on a shot from Greg Adams . The Rangers then bounced back and they won the next three games , allowing the Canucks just four goals . That set the stage for a game - five Stanley Cup celebration at home , the first time the team had ever been in a position to win a Cup at the Garden . That night , the Canucks were leading 3 - 0 by the third minute of the third period . Even though the Rangers pulled even by the midway point , Vancouver took the lead 29 seconds later and cruised to a 6 - 3 win . New York 's parade hopes were given another jolt two nights later when the Canucks put together a 4 - 1 win . Keenan said of playing game seven : `` Even though we were up 3 - 1 in the series and had to play a seventh game , the team was very confident and very poised . We had a lot of experience and a lot of leadership in our room ... I told the players they should be proud of themselves ... play hard and enjoy the moment . This is what we all dreamed about , playing a seventh game on home ice to win the Stanley Cup . '' Entering Game 7 , Keenan became the first person to be a head coach in game sevens of the Stanley Cup Finals for two different teams . Keenan had coached the Flyers in 1987 when they lost to the Oilers . Mike Babcock would join him in this feat in 2009 while with the Detroit Red Wings , having been with the Mighty Ducks of Anaheim when they lost to the Devils in 2003 ( the home team won all seven games of the series ) . The seventh game was a classic . The Rangers took a 2 - 0 first period lead on goals by Leetch and Graves , but Vancouver captain Trevor Linden scored short - handed to cut the lead . Messier scored later on a power play to put the Rangers up 3 - 1 . Linden scored a power play goal early in the third , but the Rangers managed to hang on , 3 - 2 , as the Garden erupted in cheers and tears . Mark Messier provided two of the most memorable images of that Stanley Cup Finals that would become iconic images to the Rangers and their fans and in all of hockey : first , jumping up and down like a little kid with overwhelming emotion as ticker tape fell , then , showing incredible emotion as he accepted the Stanley Cup from NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman , as he became the first ( and to this date , the only ) player to captain two teams to the Stanley Cup , having been with the Oilers in 1990 . This image was taken by George Kalinsky , photographer at Madison Square Garden , and were captured on film . Leetch became the first American - born player to win the Conn Smythe Trophy , the first non-Canadian to win it , and Keenan avoided being the first coach to lose Game 7 Stanley Cup Finals with two teams . However , this unfortunate fate would befall Babcock in 2009 when the Red Wings lost to the Pittsburgh Penguins , in - state rivals of the Flyers . The Rangers winning this Stanley Cup was the highest - rated single CBC Sports program in history to that point ( Now that distinction belongs to the men 's ice hockey gold medal game between Canada and the United States at the 2002 Winter Olympics , when Canada won its first Olympic ice hockey gold medal since the 1952 Winter Olympics ) . CBC commentator Bob Cole said that Game 7 was one of his most memorable TV games . 1994 -- 2004 : expensive acquisitions ( edit ) Wayne Gretzky in a Rangers uniform in 1997 Despite having coached the Rangers to a regular season first - place finish and the Stanley Cup , head coach Mike Keenan left after a dispute with General Manager Neil Smith . During the 1994 -- 95 lockout - shortened season , the Rangers struggled to find their form and lost in the second round of the playoffs . They snuck in with the 8th seed and defeated Quebec in the first round , but were swept by Philadelphia in the 2nd round . Succeeding Rangers coach Colin Campbell orchestrated a deal that sent Sergei Zubov and center Petr Nedved to Pittsburgh in exchange for defenceman Ulf Samuelsson and left winger Luc Robitaille in the summer of 1995 . The Rangers landed an aging Wayne Gretzky in 1996 , but even with The Great One , they would fizzle out . Their 1994 stars were aging and many retired or dropped off in performance . Gretzky 's greatest accomplishment was leading them to the 1997 Eastern Conference finals , where they lost 4 -- 1 to the Eric Lindros - led Philadelphia Flyers . After General Manager Neil Smith ran Messier , a former Oiler teammate of Gretzky 's , out of town in the summer of 1997 and failed in a bid to replace him with Colorado Avalanche superstar Joe Sakic , the Rangers began a streak of seven seasons without making the playoffs , despite routinely having the highest payroll in the league . In March 2000 , Smith was fired along with head coach John Muckler , and , that summer , James Dolan hired Glen Sather to replace him . By the end of the 2000 -- 01 season , the Rangers had landed a lot of star power . Mark Messier had returned to New York , Theoren Fleury joined the Rangers after spending most of his career with the Calgary Flames , and Eric Lindros was traded to the Rangers from the Philadelphia Flyers . The Rangers also acquired Pavel Bure late in the 2001 -- 02 season from the Florida Panthers . It was the rookie season of goalie Dan Blackburn , who made the NHL All - Rookie Team even as the Rangers fell back to last place in the conference . Despite these high - priced acquisitions the Rangers still finished out of the playoffs . Later years saw other stars such as Alexei Kovalev , Jaromir Jagr , Martin Rucinsky and Bobby Holik added , but in 2002 -- 03 and 2003 -- 04 , the team again missed the playoffs . Blackburn started strongly in 2002 -- 03 , but burned out after 17 games . He missed 2003 -- 04 due to mononucleosis and a damaged nerve in his left shoulder . Blackburn could not rehabilitate the damaged nerve , and was forced to retire at age 22 . 2005 -- 2013 : post-lockout revival ( edit ) Towards the end of the 2003 -- 04 season , General Manager Glen Sather finally gave in to a rebuilding process by trading away Brian Leetch , Alexei Kovalev , and eight others for numerous prospects and draft picks . With the retirements of Pavel Bure and Mark Messier , as well as Eric Lindros signing with the Toronto Maple Leafs , the post-lockout Rangers , under new head coach Tom Renney , moved away from high - priced veterans towards a group of talented young players , such as Petr Prucha , Dominic Moore and Blair Betts . However , the focus of the team remained on veteran superstar Jaromir Jagr . The Rangers were expected to struggle during the 2005 -- 06 season for their eighth consecutive season out of the post-season . For example , Sports Illustrated declared them the worst team in the League in their season preview , but behind stellar performances by Swedish rookie goaltender Henrik Lundqvist , Martin Straka , Michael Nylander , Prucha and Jagr , the Rangers finished the season a record of 44 -- 26 -- 12 , their best record since 1993 -- 94 . Jagr broke the Rangers ' single - season points record with a first - period assist in a 5 -- 1 win against the New York Islanders on March 29 , 2006 . The assist gave him 110 points on the season , breaking Jean Ratelle 's record . Less than two weeks later , on April 8 , Jagr scored his 53rd goal of the season against the Boston Bruins , breaking the club record previously held by Adam Graves . Two games prior , on April 4 , the Rangers defeated the Philadelphia Flyers 3 -- 2 , in a shootout , to clinch a playoff spot for the first time since the 1996 -- 97 season . On April 18 , the Rangers lost to the Ottawa Senators 5 -- 1 , and , due to wins by Division rivals New Jersey and Philadelphia , the Rangers fell back to third place in the Atlantic and sixth in the Eastern Conference to end the season . In the Eastern Conference Quarterfinals , the Rangers drew a matchup with the Devils and were defeated in a four - game sweep . In the process , they were outscored 17 -- 4 , as New Jersey goaltender Martin Brodeur took two shutouts and a 1.00 GAA to Lundqvist 's 4.25 . In the first game of the series , Jagr suffered an undisclosed injury to his left shoulder , diminishing his usefulness as the series progressed . He missed Game 2 of the series and was back in the lineup for Game 3 , though he was held to just one shot on goal . On his first shift of Game 4 , however , Jagr re-injured his shoulder and was unable to return for the remainder of the game . Jagr fell two points short of winning his sixth Art Ross Trophy as scoring champion in 2005 -- 06 ( the San Jose Sharks ' Joe Thornton claimed the award , his first , with 125 points ) , but Jagr did win his third Pearson Award as the players ' choice for the most outstanding player . With the Rangers doing so well in 2005 -- 06 , expectations were raised for the 2006 -- 07 season , evidenced by Sports Illustrated then predicting the Rangers would finish first in their division . Realizing that the team had trouble scoring goals in the 2005 -- 06 campaign , the Rangers went out and signed Triple Gold Club winner , 12 - time 30 - goal scorer , and long - time Detroit Red Wing Brendan Shanahan to a one - year contract . However , the organization remained committed to its rebuilding program despite the signing of the 37 - year - old left winger . On October 5 , 2006 , opening night of the 2006 -- 07 season , Jagr was named the first team captain since Mark Messier 's retirement. Though the Rangers started a bit slow in the first half of the 2006 -- 07 season , the second half was dominated by the stellar goaltending of Henrik Lundqvist . On February 5 , 2007 the Rangers acquired agitating forward Sean Avery in a trade with the Los Angeles Kings . The acquisition of Sean Avery brought new life and intensity to the team . Despite losing several players to injury in March , the Rangers went 10 - 2 - 3 in the month of March to move into playoff position , and on April 5th clinched a playoff berth for the second consecutive season with a 3 - 1 win over the Montreal Canadiens . The Rangers finished the season ahead of the Tampa Bay Lightning and the New York Islanders , finishing in third place in the Atlantic Division and sixth place in the Eastern Conference for the second straight year . Facing the Atlanta Thrashers in the first round of the playoffs , the Rangers swept the series thanks to play from all around the ice . However , the Rangers lost the next round to the Buffalo Sabres by four games to two . At the 2007 NHL Entry Draft , the Rangers chose Alexei Cherepanov 17th overall . Cherepanov had been ranked by the NHL Central Scouting Bureau as the number one European skater and was considered to be a top five pick leading up to the draft , but fell due to teams being unsure whether he would ever come to the NHL from Russia . Despite the departure of Michael Nylander in free agency , the 2007 free agency season started with a bang for the Rangers , with the signing of two high - profile centerman , Scott Gomez from New Jersey on a seven - year , $51.5 million contract , as well as Chris Drury from Buffalo on a five - year , $32.25 million deal . The moves , along with retaining most other key players , had been met favorably , as the Rangers appeared to be strong Stanley Cup contenders , making the playoffs for the third consecutive season and the second round for the second season in a row . Despite these streaks , however , the Rangers failed to meet expectations , losing their second round series four games to one to the Pittsburgh Penguins . The following offseason saw the departures of captain Jaromir Jagr to the KHL , and alternate captains Martin Straka and Brendan Shanahan , who returned to play in the Czech Republic and with the New Jersey Devils , respectively . Following these departures , Chris Drury was named captain on October 3 , 2008 . The Rangers were one of four NHL teams to open their 2008 -- 09 season in Europe , being featured in the Victoria Cup final , defeating the European Champions Cup winner Metallurg Magnitogorsk in Bern , Switzerland . The Rangers followed by playing two NHL regular - season games against Tampa Bay in Prague on October 4 and 5 , winning both games by 2 -- 1 scorelines . The Rangers tied the 1983 -- 84 Rangers for the best start in franchise history with a 5 -- 0 record , and set the franchise record for best start in a season through the first 13 games by going 10 -- 2 -- 1 for 21 points , with the 10 wins and 21 points each becoming franchise records . A successful start to the season , however , was tempered with by the news of the sudden death of 2007 first - round pick Alexei Cherepanov , which occurred during a KHL game in Russia on October 13 , 2008 . A disappointing second half of the season followed . After the Rangers went 2 - 7 - 3 in their previous 12 games , on February 23 , 2009 coach Tom Renney was fired , with 2004 Stanley Cup and Jack Adams Award winner John Tortorella named as his replacement . The Rangers made the 2009 playoffs , but lost their opening round series to the Washington Capitals four games to three after winning the first two games in Washington and having a 3 -- 1 series lead after Game 4 . On June 30 , 2009 the Rangers traded Scott Gomez , Tom Pyatt , and Michael Busto to the Montreal Canadiens for Chris Higgins , Ryan McDonagh , Pavel Valentenko , and Doug Janik . With Gomez 's contract and salary cap hit gone , the Rangers then signed superstar Marian Gaborik on July 1 , the first day of free agency . In the 2009 -- 10 season , the Rangers failed to make the playoffs for the first time in five years . There was some criticism that the off - season acquisition of Gaborik , among other top - tier players , had not paid off . However , Gaborik scored 42 goals and 86 points in the season , an impressive return for the team . Despite of a strong 8 -- 2 start to the season , the Rangers appeared to play inconsistently with numerous losing streaks . By March 2010 , the Rangers were in danger of falling out of the 2010 playoff race entirely , but they registered a respectable 7 -- 1 -- 2 record to finish the season . The final two games of the season were a home - and - home against the Philadelphia Flyers . The first was April 9 , 2010 , in New York , and the Rangers skated away with the victory , keeping their post-season hopes alive . The final game of the season would become the deciding game to determine who would make the playoffs . The Flyers peppered the Rangers goalie Henrik Lundqvist with 47 shots , but scored only once . The game went to a shootout , and the Flyers prevailed to move on to the playoffs despite the strong overall finish to the season by the Rangers . For the 2010 -- 11 season , the Rangers waived defenseman Wade Redden and brought in several players to achieve more balanced scoring . They wore a third jersey for the first time in several years . On November 12 , the Rangers unveiled the new Heritage Jersey for the first time at the rink at Rockefeller Center in a special ceremony featuring Rangers alumni and current players discussing the history of the storied franchise . The club wore the jersey for the first time on November 17 when they played the Boston Bruins at Madison Square Garden . The jersey was to be worn every time the Rangers play an Original Six team , or on a Sunday afternoon game at home . The Rangers ' fate of making or missing the playoffs would come down to the final day of the regular season for the second - straight year . The team defeated the New Jersey Devils on the final day of the season to finish with 93 points on the year . In order to qualify for the 2011 playoffs , however , they needed the Carolina Hurricanes to lose their final game of the season , as Carolina owned the tiebreaker as both teams finished with the same number of points . Carolina lost its final game to Tampa Bay , 6 -- 2 , putting the Rangers in the playoffs after missing - out the previous season . The Rangers then faced Washington in the first round . After blowing a 3 -- 0 third period lead in Game 4 , with Washington ahead in the best - of - seven series two games to one , the Rangers lost the series in five games . It was the second time in three years that the Capitals eliminated the Rangers from the playoffs . On May 13 , 2011 , Derek Boogaard , a player whom the Rangers signed the previous offseason for four years , was found dead in his Minnesota apartment . On June 29 , 2011 the Rangers bought out captain Chris Drury 's contract . On July 2 , 2011 , Brad Richards , an unrestricted free agent who had played with the Dallas Stars during the prior season , signed a nine - year , $60 million contract to play for the Rangers . On September 12 , 2011 , Ryan Callahan was named the 26th captain in New York Rangers history . He became the fifth - youngest captain in team history . Brad Richards and Marc Staal were named alternate captains on the same day . In the 2011 -- 12 season , the Rangers finished as the top seed in the Eastern Conference . Recording 51 wins , 24 regulation losses and seven overtime losses , the team finished with 109 points for the regular season . Their leading scorer for the regular season was Marian Gaborik , who finished the season with 41 goals and 76 points while playing all 82 games . However , the Rangers missed - out on the Presidents ' Trophy on the final day of the season to the Vancouver Canucks after a 4 -- 1 loss to Washington . In the first round of the playoffs , the Rangers faced the eighth - seeded Ottawa Senators . After falling behind 3 -- 2 in the series , the Rangers bounced back to win Game 6 in Ottawa , as well as the deciding Game 7 at home , propelling them to the Conference Semifinals . In the Semifinals , the Rangers faced the Capitals . In Game 3 , Gaborik received a pass from Brad Richards to seal a victory 14 : 41 into the third overtime , giving the Rangers a 2 -- 1 lead in the series . Washington then came back to tie the series 2 -- 2 in Game 4 . The Rangers avoided going down 3 -- 2 in the series when Richards tied Game 5 at 2 -- 2 with just 6.6 seconds left in the third period . The goal was scored on a power - play as a result of a high - sticking double - minor committed by Washington 's Joel Ward on Rangers ' forward Carl Hagelin . Then , in overtime , Rangers defenseman Marc Staal scored on the second penalty of the double - minor just 1 : 35 into overtime , giving the Rangers a 3 -- 2 series lead . The Rangers went on to win the series 4 -- 3 , sending them to the Eastern Conference Finals for the first time since 1997 . In the Conference Finals , they faced the New Jersey Devils , a major divisional rival . After leading the series 2 - 1 , the Rangers lost 3 games in a row , losing Game 6 in New Jersey with a goal by Devils forward Adam Henrique at 1 : 03 in overtime , giving the Devils a 4 -- 2 series win and ending the Rangers ' season . On July 23 , 2012 the Rangers traded Brandon Dubinsky , Artem Anisimov , Tim Erixon and a 2013 first - round draft pick to the Columbus Blue Jackets in exchange for All - Star Rick Nash , Steven Delisle , and a 2013 conditional third - round pick . At the 2013 NHL trade deadline on April 3rd , the Rangers then traded Marian Gaborik , Steven Delisle , and Blake Parlett to Columbus for Derick Brassard , Derek Dorsett , John Moore , and a 2014 sixth - round draft pick . After the Rangers were eliminated from the second round of the playoffs by Boston , management fired Head Coach John Tortorella , and on June 21 , 2013 , General Manager Glen Sather formally introduced ex-Canucks Head Coach Alain Vigneault as Tortorella 's replacement , becoming the 35th head coach in franchise history . 2013 -- 2014 : return to the final ( edit ) On March 5 , 2014 , the Rangers traded their captain Ryan Callahan , a first - round draft pick in 2015 , a conditional second - round pick in 2014 ( which later became a first - round pick ) , and a conditional seventh - round pick in 2015 , for Tampa Bay captain Martin St. Louis and a conditional second - round pick in 2015 . The trade occurred in large part after the Rangers and Callahan were unable to reach a contract extension in the days leading up to the deadline . During the regular season , the Rangers won 25 road games , setting a then - franchise record . In the first round of the 2014 playoffs , New York defeated Philadelphia in seven games , and in the next round , the Rangers rallied from a 3 -- 1 series deficit for the first time in their history to defeat Pittsburgh in seven games . They then defeated the Montreal Canadiens in six games to become the Eastern Conference champions , moving on to the Stanley Cup Finals for the first time in 20 years . In the Finals they faced the Los Angeles Kings , the Western Conference champions and champions in 2012 . The Rangers led the first two games by two goals and eventually fell in overtime , and were then shut - out at home 3 -- 0 in Game 3 . The Kings outshot the Rangers in Game 4 , but the Rangers staved off elimination by winning the game 2 -- 1 to force a Game 5 in Los Angeles . They had another lead in Game 5 , but after the game was tied and subsequently sent to overtime , Kings defenseman Alec Martinez scored with 5 : 17 left in the second overtime period to win the game for Los Angeles , 3 -- 2 , as well as the Stanley Cup . On June 20 , 2014 , a week after their season ended , the Rangers bought - out the remaining six years of Brad Richards ' contract in order to free up salary cap space . This move left Marc Staal and Dan Girardi as the team 's remaining alternate captains . 2014 -- present ( edit ) On October 6 , 2014 , defenseman Ryan McDonagh was named the Rangers ' 27th captain in team history , with Derek Stepan , Dan Girardi , Marc Staal and Martin St. Louis serving as alternates . In the 2014 -- 15 season , the Rangers won the Presidents ' Trophy for the third time in franchise history and their 8th division title by finishing with the best record in the NHL at 53 -- 22 -- 7 . The 53 wins and 113 points both set franchise records . The division title was the Rangers ' first in the Metropolitan Division , which was created during the NHL 's realignment in the 2013 offseason . The team won 28 road games in the regular season , breaking the franchise record set the previous season . Over the course of the season the Rangers agreed to terms on a contract extension with Cam Talbot , Marc Staal , and Mats Zuccarello . In the playoffs the Rangers dispatched the Pittsburgh Penguins in five games in the first round . The Rangers then came back from a 3 -- 1 series deficit to win their second - round series against the Capitals in seven games , becoming the first team in NHL history to battle back from a 3 -- 1 deficit in back - to - back seasons and sending the Rangers to the Eastern Conference Final for the third time in four years . However , after winning the first game against the Tampa Bay Lightning , the Rangers lost Game 2 by four goals . The two teams split the first four games of the series , but the Rangers lost Game 5 by a 2 -- 0 scoreline at home , which gave the Lightning an opportunity to clinch the Conference Finals in Tampa Bay . However , this did not happen in Game 6 , as Derick Brassard scored a hat - trick and assisted on two other goals in an emphatic 7 -- 3 Rangers victory to force a Game 7 in New York . There , the Lightning shutout the Rangers 2 -- 0 , ending the Rangers ' season and marking the first occasion the Rangers had ever lost a Game 7 at home in franchise history and the first time they lost an elimination game at home since they lost to Buffalo in 2007 . On June 27 , 2015 the Rangers traded Carl Hagelin and a pair of draft picks to the Anaheim Ducks for Emerson Etem and a draft pick , Cam Talbot and a draft pick to the Edmonton Oilers for three draft picks , and prospect Ryan Haggerty to the Chicago Blackhawks for Antti Raanta , who was to become the backup goaltender to Lundqvist . Subsequently , on July 1 , 2015 , Glen Sather resigned as the general manager , with Jeff Gorton taking his place to become the 11th general manager in team history . On July 2 , 2015 , Martin St. Louis announced his retirement . The team then signed Emerson Etem , and re-signed Oscar Lindberg , Jesper Fast , J.T. Miller , and Derek Stepan . The Rangers started off the 2015 -- 16 season well . After 18 games , they had a 14 -- 2 -- 2 record and a nine - game winning streak , which was eventually halted by Tampa Bay . However , the organization soon went downhill in the winter , losing three - straight games against the Montreal Canadiens , Boston Bruins and Philadelphia Flyers . They eventually posted a 4 -- 7 -- 2 record in December for only ten points . In January the Rangers started playing more efficiently , posting a fair 6 -- 4 -- 1 record , and improved in February by going on a 10 -- 3 -- 1 run without any back - to - back losses . On January 8 , 2016 the Rangers traded Emerson Etem to the Vancouver Canucks for Nicklas Jensen and a sixth - round pick in the 2017 NHL draft . On February 28th the Rangers traded prospect Aleksi Saarela , a 2016 second - round draft pick , and a 2017 second - round draft pick for Carolina Hurricanes ' captain Eric Staal , who later left the team after the season . The Rangers finished the season third in the division with 101 points for back - to - back 100 + point seasons . Despite high hopes , the Rangers were eliminated by the Pittsburgh Penguins in the first round of the 2016 playoffs in five games . On May 2nd the Rangers agreed to terms with Antti Raanta on a contract extension , and on May 13th signed Pavel Buchnevich to an entry - level contract . On June 25 , 2016 the Rangers acquired Nick Holden from the Colorado Avalanche for a 2017 fourth - round draft pick . Over the course of the summer , the Rangers re-signed J.T. Miller , Chris Kreider , and Kevin Hayes , while Dominic Moore , among others , departed via free agency . On July 18th the Rangers traded their leading scorer Derick Brassard and a 2018 seventh - round draft pick in exchange for Mika Zibanejad and a 2018 second - round draft pick , The team also signed Michael Grabner to a two - year deal and the much - anticipated college sensation Jimmy Vesey to a two - year entry - level contract . Traditions ( edit ) This article possibly contains original research . Please improve it by verifying the claims made and adding inline citations . Statements consisting only of original research should be removed . ( September 2007 ) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message ) The fans of the New York Rangers have several traditions that are part of the experience of watching a home game at Madison Square Garden . The Chief ( edit ) The Chief , whose real name was Robert Comas , was a fan of the Rangers who donned an Indian headdress complete with Ranger facepaint from 1971 to 1995 . He became an unofficial mascot , `` wandering around Madison Square Garden shaking hands , whooping and doing a war dance . '' Comas retired from his role as The Chief in 1995 , one year after the Rangers won the Stanley Cup . In 1998 , Comas ran for public office as the Republican Party candidate for the State Senate in the 21st District , which includes Sheepshead Bay , Mill Basin and other parts of southern Brooklyn . When he was unable to gather enough signatures to make the ballot , the Republican party had no candidate in the contest . Comas did run on the Conservative line . He managed to gather 3,255 votes , or 7.64 % of the total votes counted , losing to incumbent Carl Kruger , who was convicted on federal bribery charges in 2011 . Shortly after his bid for the New York State Senate failed , the Chief moved to Florida , where he resided until his death on September 17 , 2009 . He was 62 . Dancing Larry ( edit ) Dancing Larry has been a Rangers season ticket holder since 1988 , and his famous dance routine began in the mid-to - late 1990s , when he danced in the aisle between sections 406 and 407 . After the most recent MSG renovation , he now dances in the portal between sections 223 and 224 . The dance usually occurs during the last TV timeout of the third period to get the crowd and the team pumped up . Larry dances to the song Strike It Up by Black Box which is cued up on the Madison Square Garden loud speakers by the technical staff . Larry 's real name is Larry Goodman . Goal song ( edit ) When the Rangers score a goal at Madison Square Garden the `` Slapshot '' ( aka `` The New York Rangers Goal Song '' ) song is played following three blasts of a NYC Fire Engine horn . The song made its debut on January 20 , 1995 , the night the 1994 Stanley Cup Champion Banner was raised to the rafters . It was written by Ray Castoldi , the Music Director at Madison Square Garden . The song can be heard here . Victory song ( edit ) After every home victory the `` New York Rangers Victory Song '' is played . It was written in 1940 by J. Fred Coots ( an avid Rangers fan and New Yorker ) to pay tribute to the then - Stanley Cup champion New York Rangers . The music for the song can be heard here . Salute the crowd ( edit ) Rangers saluting the crowd at MSG After every Rangers home win , the team gathers at center ice and raise their sticks in the air to salute the Rangers supporters . The salute ( the idea of defenseman Darius Kasparaitis ) began in the early part of the 2005 -- 06 season , and has proved extremely popular with both the players and fans alike . The salute to the fans is typically done only after home victories . However , after the Rangers fell to the rival New Jersey Devils in a four - game sweep in the first round of the 2006 Stanley Cup playoffs , the fans ' cheers at the conclusion of an otherwise outstanding breakout season caused the players to stay on the ice after the loss and give the fans one final salute for the year . The Rangers have saluted the crowd on several occasions since after being eliminated from the playoffs at home . The blue seats ( edit ) In Rangers fan lore , one of the most traditional , as well as one of the rowdiest , sections of the Garden is the blue seats , in what was the 400 level , before the most recent renovation . The nickname came from the original color of those seats before the first Garden renovation in the early 1990s . In the 1970s , `` blue - seaters '' would heckle opposing players , and also heckle the `` red - seaters '' , down below . This led to the perception that the blue seats were also home to a great deal of profanity , or `` blue language . '' The seats in the 400 level at MSG were redone in teal during the 1990 renovation of the Garden , but fans continued to refer to them as `` the blues '' . Following the 3 - year transformation at the Garden that began in 2011 , the blue seats now occupy only one end zone of the west side of the arena where the Rangers shoot twice . Because of the new balcony added above , these seats are considered `` limited view '' ; they remain the cheapest seats in the building . John Amirante ( edit ) John Amirante is the long - time national anthem singer at Madison Square Garden . He first performed the national anthem at the Garden ice in October 1980 , and has also sung for the Knicks and Yankees . In 2009 , when Amirante was 74 , he was singing the anthem at about half of the Rangers ' home games . On Saturday , April 18 , 2015 , after a 35 - year run , Amirante sang what was thought to be his last National Anthem before Game 2 in Round 1 of the 2015 playoffs against the Pittsburgh Penguins . The following day , after a negative reaction from fans regarding the decision to forcibly retire Amirante , the Garden announced that Amirante would be invited to be a guest anthem singer from time - to - time .

-7613823015406053162 | Equator | Equator - wikipedia Equator Jump to : navigation , search For other uses , see Equator ( disambiguation ) . 0 ° Equator Nations or territories that touch the Equator ( red ) or the IERS Reference Meridian ( blue ) An equator is the intersection of the surface of a rotating sphere ( such as a planet ) with the plane perpendicular to the axis of rotation and midway between its poles . On Earth , the Equator is an imaginary line on the surface , equidistant from the North and South Poles , dividing the Earth into Northern and Southern Hemispheres . It is about 40,075 kilometres ( 24,901 mi ) long , of which 78.7 % lies across water and 21.3 % over land . Contents ( hide ) 1 Overview 2 Geodesy 2.1 Precise location 2.2 Exact length 3 Crossing - the - Equator ceremonies 4 Equatorial countries and territories 5 Equatorial seasons and climate 6 See also 7 References 8 Sources Overview ( edit ) Left : A monument marking the Equator near the town of Pontianak , Indonesia Right : Road sign marking the Equator near Nanyuki , Kenya The latitude of the Earth 's equator is , by definition , 0 ° ( zero degrees ) of arc . The Equator is one of the five notable circles of latitude on Earth ; the other four are the two Polar Circles ( the Arctic Circle and the Antarctic Circle ) and the two Tropical Circles ( the Tropic of Cancer and the Tropic of Capricorn ) . The Equator is the only line of latitude which is also a great circle -- that is , one whose plane passes through the center of the globe . The plane of Earth 's equator , when projected outwards to the celestial sphere , defines the celestial equator . In the cycle of Earth 's seasons , the plane of the equator passes through the Sun twice per year : at the March and September equinoxes . To a person on the Earth , the Sun appears to travel North or South over the Equator ( or the celestial equator ) at these times . Light rays from the center of the Sun are perpendicular to the surface of the Earth at the point of solar noon on the Equator . The Equator marked as it crosses Ilhéu das Rolas , in São Tomé and Príncipe The Marco Zero monument marking the Equator in Macapá , Brazil . Locations on the Equator experience the quickest sunrises and sunsets , because the sun moves nearly perpendicular to the horizon for most of the year . The length of daylight ( sunrise to sunset ) is almost constant throughout the year ; it is about fourteen minutes longer than nighttime due to atmospheric refraction and the fact that sunrise is begun ( or sunset is ended ) as the upper edge , not the center , of the Sun 's disk crosses the horizon . The Earth bulges slightly at the Equator ; the `` average '' diameter of the Earth is 12,750 kilometres ( 7,922 mi ) , but the diameter at the Equator is about 43 kilometres ( 27 mi ) greater than at the poles . Sites near the Equator , such as the Guiana Space Centre in Kourou , French Guiana , are good locations for spaceports as they have a faster rotational speed than other latitudes ; the added velocity reduces the fuel needed to launch spacecraft . Because the Earth spins to the east , spacecraft must also launch to the east ( or to the southeast or northeast ) to take advantage of this Earth - boost of speed . Geodesy ( edit ) Further information : Earth ellipsoid and Reference ellipsoid Precise location ( edit ) The precise location of the Equator is not truly fixed ; the true equatorial plane is perpendicular to the Earth 's spin axis , which drifts about 9 metres ( 30 ft ) during a year . This effect must be accounted for in detailed geophysical measurements . Exact length ( edit ) In two widely used geodetic standards , the Equator is modelled as a circle whose radius is a whole number of metres . In 1976 the IAU chose a radius of 6,378.140 kilometres ( 3,963.192 mi ) ( codified as the IAU - 1976 value ) , later refined by the IUGG to 6,378.137 kilometres ( 3,963.191 mi ) and adopted in WGS - 84 . Despite this change , the yet more recent IAU - 2000 retained the old IAU - 1976 value . If it were really circular , the length of the Equator would be exactly 2π times the radius , namely 40,075.036 kilometres ( 24,901.473 mi ) . However , due to the effect of the tides on the Earth 's surface the actual circumference at the equator is about 40,075.16 kilometres ( 24,901.55 mi ) . The geographical mile is defined as one arc minute of the Equator , so it has different values depending on which radius is assumed . For example , by WSG - 84 , the distance is 1,855.3248 metres ( 6,087.024 ft ) , while by IAU - 2000 , it is 1,855.3257 metres ( 6,087.027 ft ) . This is a difference of less than one millimeter over the total distance ( approximately 1.86 kilometres ( 1.16 mi ) ) . The earth is commonly modeled as a sphere flattened 0.336 % along its axis . This makes the Equator 0.16 % longer than a meridian ( a great circle passing through the two poles ) . The IUGG standard meridian is , to the nearest millimetre , 40,007.862917 kilometres ( 24,859.733480 mi ) , one arc minute of which is 1,852.216 metres ( 6,076.82 ft ) , explaining the SI standardization of the nautical mile as 1,852 metres ( 6,076 ft ) , more than 3 metres ( 9.8 ft ) less than the geographical mile . The sea - level surface of the Earth ( the geoid ) is irregular , so the actual length of the Equator is not so easy to determine . Aviation Week and Space Technology on 9 October 1961 reported that measurements using the Transit IV - A satellite had shown the equatorial `` diameter '' from longitude 11 ° West to 169 ° East to be 1,000 feet ( 300 m ) greater than its `` diameter '' ninety degrees away . Crossing - the - Equator ceremonies ( edit ) Main article : Line - crossing ceremony Certain navies , such as the Royal Navy , Russian Navy , and US Navy , have a tradition of holding ceremonies aboard ships to mark sailors ' first crossing of the Equator . These ceremonial events have in the past been notorious for their brutality .

Equatorial seasons and climate ( edit ) Main articles : Seasons , Tropics , and Effect of sun angle on climate Diagram of the seasons , depicting the situation at the December solstice . Regardless of the time of day ( i.e. the Earth 's rotation on its axis ) , the North Pole will be dark , and the South Pole will be illuminated ; see also arctic winter . In addition to the density of incident light , the dissipation of light in the atmosphere is greater when it falls at a shallow angle . Seasons result from the tilt of the Earth 's axis compared to the plane of its revolution around the Sun . Throughout the year the northern and southern hemispheres are alternately turned either toward or away from the sun depending on Earth 's position in its orbit . The hemisphere turned toward the sun receives more sunlight and is in summer , while the other hemisphere receives less sun and is in winter ( see solstice ) . At the equinoxes , the Earth 's axis is perpendicular to the sun rather than tilted toward or away , meaning that day and night are both about 12 hours long across the whole of the Earth . The Equator lies mostly on the three largest oceans : the Atlantic Ocean , the Indian Ocean , and the Pacific Ocean . Near the Equator there is little temperature change throughout the year , though there may be dramatic differences in rainfall and humidity . The terms summer , autumn , winter and spring do not generally apply . Lowlands around the Equator generally have a tropical rainforest climate , also known as an equatorial climate , though cold currents cause some regions to have tropical monsoon climates with a dry season in the middle of the year , and the Somali Current generated by the Asian monsoon due to continental heating via the high Tibetan Plateau causes Greater Somalia to have an arid climate despite its equatorial location . Average annual temperatures in equatorial lowlands are around 31 ° C ( 88 ° F ) during the afternoon and 23 ° C ( 73 ° F ) around sunrise . Rainfall is away from cold current upwelling zones very high , from 2,500 to 3,500 mm ( 98 to 138 in ) per year . There are about 200 rainy days per year and average annual sunshine hours are around 2,000 . Despite high year - round sea level temperatures , some higher altitudes such as the Andes and Mount Kilimanjaro have glaciers . The highest point on the Equator is at the elevation of 4,690 metres ( 15,387 ft ) , at 0 ° 0 ′ 0 '' N 77 ° 59 ′ 31 '' W / 0.00000 ° N 77.99194 ° W / 0.00000 ; - 77.99194 ( highest point on the Equator ) , found on the southern slopes of Volcán Cayambe ( summit 5,790 metres ( 18,996 ft ) ) in Ecuador . This is slightly above the snow line and is the only place on the Equator where snow lies on the ground . At the Equator the snow line is around 1,000 metres ( 3,280 ft ) lower than on Mount Everest and as much as 2,000 metres ( 6,560 ft ) lower than the highest snow line in the world , near the Tropic of Capricorn on Llullaillaco .

It won an Academy Award for Best Original Song . David and Bacharach also won Best Original Score . The song was recorded by B.J. Thomas in seven takes , after Bacharach expressed dissatisfaction with the first six . In the film version of the song , Thomas had been recovering from laryngitis , which made his voice sound hoarser than in the 7 - inch release . The film version featured a separate vaudeville - style instrumental break in double time while Paul Newman performed bicycle stunts . The single by B.J. Thomas reached number 1 on charts in the United States , Canada , Norway and reached number 38 in the UK Singles Chart . It topped the Billboard Hot 100 for four weeks in January 1970 and was also the first American number - one hit of the 1970s . The song also spent seven weeks atop the Billboard adult contemporary chart . Billboard ranked it as the No. 4 song of 1970 .

He chose instead to record the song `` Sunday Morning Coming Down '' , written by Kris Kristofferson . Bob Dylan is supposed to have been approached for the song , but he , too , reportedly declined . The trumpet solos in the song are performed by Chuck Findley . In 2004 , it finished at number 23 on AFI 's 100 Years ... 100 Songs survey of top tunes in American cinema . In 2008 , the single was ranked 85th on Billboard 's Hot 100 All - Time Top Songs and placed 95th in the 55th Anniversary edition of the All - Time Hot 100 list in 2013 . Billboard Magazine also ranked the song 15th on its Top 50 Movie Songs of All Time list in 2014 . `` The song , initially when it came out , I believe it was October of 69 , the movie did n't come out until December , it did get some bad reviews . It was a very unique and different sounding song , Bacharach and David never had any qualms about trying to do anything different , or push the envelope so to speak . So nowadays , it sounds pretty tame , but back then , radio resisted it to some degree . But , when the movie came out it hit hugely and sold about 200,000 to 300,000 records a day ( and continued selling ) for about three years . '' -- B.J.

From January 24 to March 13 , 1970 , it was a number - one hit ( for seven weeks ) in Australia on the Go - Set National Top 40 for local pop singer , Johnny Farnham . In 1970 , it was also covered by Dionne Warwick on her album I 'll Never Fall in Love Again , by Engelbert Humperdinck on his album We Made It Happen , Johnny Mathis on his album Raindrops Keep Fallin ' on My Head , Perry Como on his album It 's Impossible , The Four Tops on their album Changing Times , Andy Williams on his album , Raindrops Keep Fallin ' on My Head , and The Free Design on their album Stars / Time / Bubbles / Love . Portuguese - born television and radio presenter Pedro Biker released a Danish version re-entitled `` Regndråber Drypper I Mit Hår '' in 1970 . A Swedish version was also made in 1970 , `` Regnet det bara öser ner '' sung by Siw Malmkvist . Genesis referenced the song title in their lyrics of In the Cage '' in 1974 . It has been covered in French by French singer Sacha Distel , whose version Toute La Pluie Tombe Sur Moi was a number 10 hit in the UK Singles Chart , and number 13 in Ireland , as well as number 10 in France . Distel also recorded a version with the original English lyrics , and another in Italian , Gocce Di Pioggia Su Di Me . Bobbie Gentry 's version reached number 40 in the UK chart . Paul Mauriat recorded it with his Grand Orchestra it 1973 . It was the only known cover in the USSR . The Welsh rock band Manic Street Preachers cover version is credited with adding greater nuance to the song , the Financial Times citing their recording as transforming the song from carefree optimism to `` an exhortation to keep going in the face of tragedy '' and noting that Bradfield 's voice `` added grit to the facile lyric '' . The group often spent their downtime on the tour bus watching the film Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid , and incorporated the song into live sets . After the disappearance of lyricist Richey Edwards , the band decided to continue rather than split up . Having booked studio time in France to record their fourth album , Everything Must Go , they were invited to record for the War Child album The Help Album . The project required all songs to be recorded in one day . While band biographer Simon Price has described the recording and release of the record as a `` coded message '' that the band still existed , Bradfield recalls the events differently : `` ... us putting it out was n't planned as us saying ' We 're OK , guys ! ' , but the deadline was the next day after we 'd arrived in this place , for some kind of new beginning . '' The band 's recorded version of the song contains the first recorded instance of drummer Sean Moore performing on trumpet , and also appears on their 2003 B - sides and rarities compilation album Lipstick Traces ( A Secret History of Manic Street Preachers ) . The Manics further reference the film Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid with the B - side `` Sepia '' . The Barry Sisters covered the song in a Yiddish version ( `` Trop'ns Fin Regen Oif Mein Kop '' ) on their 1973 album Our Way . Lisa Miskovsky covered the song in the extended version of her self - titled ( 2004 ) album .

"\"Raindrops Keep Fallin' on My Head\" is a song written by Hal David and Burt Bacharach for the 1969 film Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid.[2] It won an Academy Award for Best Original Song.[2] David and Bacharach also won Best Original Score. The song was recorded by B. J. Thomas in seven takes, after Bacharach expressed dissatisfaction with the first six. In the film version of the song, Thomas had been recovering from laryngitis, which made his voice sound hoarser than in the 7-inch release. The film version featured a separate vaudeville-style instrumental break in double time while Paul Newman performed bicycle stunts."

Indirect successor states ( Maine , Kentucky , West Virginia ) , the District of Columbia and states that acceded to the union after the American Revolutionary War are not included National Atlas map ( circa 2005 ) depicting territorial acquisitions . A government map , probably created in the mid-20th century , that depicts a simplified history of territorial acquisitions within the continental United States The 1783 Treaty of Paris with Great Britain defined the original borders of the United States . It generally stretched from the Eastern Seaboard to the Mississippi River in the west . There were ambiguities in the treaty regarding the exact border with Canada to the north that led to disputes that were resolved by the Webster -- Ashburton Treaty in 1842 . Beginning in the late 18th century , the new nation organized areas west of the Original thirteen states into several United States territories , setting a template for future expansion . Louisiana Purchase ( edit ) The Louisiana Purchase in 1803 , was negotiated with Napoleon during the presidency of Thomas Jefferson ; the territory was acquired from France for $15 million ( equivalent to $245 million in present - day terms ) . A small portion of this land was ceded to Britain in 1818 in exchange for the Red River Basin . More of this land was ceded to Spain in 1819 with the Florida Purchase , but was later reacquired through Texas annexation and Mexican Cession . West Florida ( edit ) West Florida was declared to be a U.S. possession in 1810 by President James Madison after the territory had declared its independence from Spain . Madison ordered the U.S. Army to take control . Six weeks later , the army entered and occupied the capital , St. Francisville , putting an end to the republic after 74 days of independence . Spain did not relinquish its claim to sovereignty ( see West Florida Controversy ) until ratification of the Adams -- Onís Treaty . General Andrew Jackson personally accepted the delivery of West Florida from its Spanish governor on July 17 , 1821 . Red River ( edit ) The parts of Rupert 's Land and the Red River Colony south of the 49th parallel in the basin of the Red River of the North were acquired in 1818 from Britain under the Anglo - American Convention of 1818 . East Florida ( edit ) The Adams -- Onís Treaty of 1819 with Spain resulted in Spain 's cession of East Florida and the Sabine Free State and Spain 's surrender of any claims to the Oregon Country . Article III of the treaty , when properly surveyed , resulted in the acquisition of a small part of central Colorado . Along Canada -- U.S. border ( edit ) Webster - Ashburton Treaty of 1842 with Britain split the disputed territory in Maine and New Brunswick and finalized the border with Canada , including the disputed Indian Stream territory . In 1850 Britain ceded to the U.S. less than one acre of underwater rock ( Horseshoe Reef ) in Lake Erie near Buffalo for a lighthouse . Texas ( edit ) Texas Annexation of 1845 : The independent Republic of Texas long sought to join the U.S. , despite Mexican claims and the warning by Mexican leader Antonio López de Santa Anna that this would be `` equivalent to a declaration of war against the Mexican Republic . '' Congress approved the annexation of Texas on February 28 , 1845 . On December 29 , 1845 , Texas became the 28th state . Texas had claimed New Mexico east of the Rio Grande but had only made one unsuccessful attempt to occupy it ; New Mexico was captured by the U.S. Army in August 1846 and then administered separately from Texas . Mexico acknowledged the loss of territory in the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo of 1848 . Oregon territory ( edit ) Oregon Country , the territory of North America west of the Rockies to the Pacific , was jointly controlled by the U.S. and Britain following the Anglo - American Convention of 1818 until June 15 , 1846 when the Oregon Treaty divided the territory at the 49th parallel ( see Oregon boundary dispute ) . The San Juan Islands were claimed and jointly occupied by the U.S. and the U.K. from 1846 -- 72 due to ambiguities in the treaty ( see Northwestern Boundary Dispute ) . Arbitration led to the sole U.S. possession of the San Juan Islands since 1872 . Mexican Cession ( edit ) Mexican Cession lands were captured in the Mexican -- American War in 1846 -- 48 , and ceded by Mexico in the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo , where Mexico agreed to the present Mexico -- United States border except for the later Gadsden Purchase . The United States paid $15 million ( equivalent to $394 million in present - day terms ) and agreed to pay claims made by American citizens against Mexico which amounted to more than $3 million ( equivalent to $79 million today ) . Gadsden Purchase ( edit ) In the Gadsden Purchase of 1853 , the United States purchased a strip of land along the Mexico -- United States border for $10 million ( equivalent to $294 million in present - day terms ) , now in New Mexico and Arizona . The territory was also bought as Americans were passing through the land west to California . After the American Mexican War , over the dispute of border claims , American bought the land to prevent future conflict . Few historians would argue the territory was intended for a southern transcontinental railroad . 1833 Eagle Map of the U.S. Since 1853 ( edit ) Alaska ( edit ) Alaska Purchase from the Russian Empire for $7.2 million ( 2 cents per acre ) on March 30 , 1867 ( equivalent to $126 million in present - day terms ) , as a vital refueling station for ships trading with Asia . The land went through several administrative changes before becoming an organized territory on May 11 , 1912 , and the 49th state of the U.S. on January 3 , 1959 . Hawaii ( edit ) Hawaii and Outlying Islands In 1959 , 94 % of Hawaii 's residents voted to relinquish all land claims ( proposition 2 ) to the United States and become a state . Today 's United States Minor Outlying Islands excluding Caribbean The Kingdom of Hawaii was closely linked by missionary work and trade to the U.S. by the 1880s . In 1893 business leaders overthrew the Queen of Hawaii and sought annexation . President Grover Cleveland strongly disapproved , so Hawaii set up an independent republic , the Republic of Hawaii . Southern Democrats in Congress strongly opposed a non-white addition . President William McKinley , a Republican , secured a Congressional resolution in 1898 , and the small republic joined the U.S. All its citizens became full U.S. citizens . One factor was the need for advanced naval bases to fend off Japanese ambitions . The Hawaiian Islands officially became an incorporated territory of the U.S. in 1900 . Following 94 % voter approval of the Admission of Hawaii Act , on August 21 , 1959 the Territory of Hawaii became the state of Hawaii , the 50th state . With Hawaii came two remote coral atolls : the Palmyra Atoll which had been annexed by the U.S. in 1859 , abandoned , then claimed in 1862 by the Kingdom of Hawaii , and the Stewart Islands , which had joined the Kingdom a few years before Palmyra . At Hawaiian statehood in 1959 , Palmyra and arguably the Stewarts were excluded from the new state . Palmyra remained an incorporated U.S. territory , while the Stewarts were claimed and are now controlled by the Solomon Islands . Spanish colonies ( edit ) Post-Spanish -- American War map of `` Greater America '' . Main article : Spanish -- American War Puerto Rico , Guam , and the Philippines ( for which the United States compensated Spain $20 million , equivalent to $588 million in present - day terms ) , were ceded by Spain after the Spanish -- American War in the 1898 Treaty of Paris . Spain relinquished all claim of sovereignty over Cuba , but did not cede it to the United States , so it became a protectorate . All four of these areas were under United States Military Government ( USMG ) for extended periods . Cuba became an independent nation in 1902 , and the Philippines became an independent nation in 1946 . This era also saw the first scattered protests against American imperialism . Noted Americans such as Mark Twain spoke out forcefully against these ventures . Opponents of the war , including Twain and Andrew Carnegie , organized themselves into the American Anti-Imperialist League . During this same period the American people continued to strongly chastise the European powers for their imperialism . The Second Boer War was especially unpopular in the United States and soured Anglo - American relations . The anti-imperialist press would often draw parallels between the U.S. in the Philippines and the British in the Second Boer War . Cuba ( edit ) Under the 1898 Treaty of Paris , Spain relinquished all claim of sovereignty over and title to Cuba , with the island to be occupied by the United States . Under the Teller Amendment Congress had already decided against annexation . Cuba gained formal independence on 20 May 1902 . Under the new Cuban constitution , however , the U.S. retained the right to intervene in Cuban affairs and to supervise its finances and foreign relations through the Platt Amendment ; this , however , was later renounced as part of Franklin Roosevelt 's Good Neighbor Policy . Under the Platt Amendment ( 1901 ) , Cuba also agreed to lease to the U.S. the naval base at Guantánamo Bay . The naval base occupies land which the United States leased from Cuba in 1903 `` ... for the time required for the purposes of coaling and naval stations . '' The two governments later agreed that , `` So long as the United States of America shall not abandon the said naval station of Guantanamo or the two Governments shall not agree to a modification of its present limits , the station shall continue to have the territorial area that it now has , with the limits that it has on the date of the signature of the present Treaty . '' Puerto Rico ( edit ) On July 25 , 1898 , during the Spanish -- American War , Puerto Rico was invaded by the United States with a landing at Guánica . As an outcome of the war , the Jones -- Shafroth Act granted all the inhabitants of Puerto Rico U.S. citizenship in 1917 . The U.S. granted Puerto Ricans the right to democratically elect their own governor in 1948 . In 1950 , the Truman Administration allowed for a democratic referendum in Puerto Rico to determine whether Puerto Ricans desired to draft their own local constitution without affecting the unincorporated territory status with the U.S. A local constitution was approved by a Constitutional Convention on February 6 , 1952 , ratified by the U.S. Congress , approved by President Truman on July 3 of that year , and proclaimed by Gov. Muñoz Marín on July 25 , 1952 , the anniversary of the 1898 arrival of U.S. troops . Puerto Rico adopted the name of Estado Libre Asociado ( literally translated as `` Free Associated State '' ) , officially translated into English as Commonwealth , for its body politic . Guam ( edit ) In Guam , settlement by foreign ethnic groups was small at first . After World War II showed the strategic value of the island , construction of a huge military base began along with a large influx of people from other parts of the world . Guam today has a very mixed population of 164,000 . The indigenous Chamorros make up 37 % of the population . The rest of the population consists mostly of white Americans and Filipinos , with smaller groups of Chinese , Japanese , Koreans , Micronesians , Vietnamese and Indians . Guam today is almost totally Americanized . The situation is somewhat similar to that in Hawaii , but attempts to change Guam 's status as an ' unincorporated ' U.S. territory have yet to meet with success . Philippines ( edit ) Main articles : History of the Philippines ( 1898 -- 1946 ) and Philippine -- American War The Philippine Revolution against Spain began in April 1896 . The Spanish -- American War came to the Philippines on May 1 , 1898 , when the United States Navy 's Asiatic Squadron , commanded by Commodore George Dewey , defeated the Spanish Pacific Squadron under Admiral Patricio Montojo y Pasarón during the Battle of Manila Bay . On June 12 , Philippine revolutionaries declared independence and establishment of the First Philippine Republic . On December 10 , 1898 , the Treaty of Paris which ended the Spanish -- American War was signed . The treaty transferred control of the Philippines from Spain to the United States . This agreement was not recognized by the Philippine revolutionaries , who declared war against the United States on June 2 , 1899 . The Philippine -- American War ensued . In 1901 , Emilio Aguinaldo , president of the Malolos Republic , was captured and pledged his allegiance to the American government . The U.S. unilaterally declared an end to the conflict in 1902 . Scattered fighting continued , however , until 1913 . The Philippine Organic Act of 1902 provided for the establishment of a bicameral legislature composed of an upper house consisting of the Philippine Commission , an appointed body with both American and Filipino members . and a popularly elected lower house , the Philippine Assembly . The Philippines became a U.S. colony in the fashion of Europe 's New Imperialism , with benevolent colonial practices . English joined Spanish as an official language , and English language education was made compulsory . In 1916 , the United States passed the Philippine Autonomy Act and committed itself to granting independence to the Philippines `` as soon as a stable government can be established therein . '' As a step to full independence in 1946 , partial autonomy as a Commonwealth was granted in 1935 . Preparation for a fully sovereign state was interrupted by the Japanese occupation of the Philippines during World War II . The United States suffered a total of 62,514 casualties , including 13,973 deaths in its attempt to liberate the Philippines from Imperial Japanese rule during the hard - fought Philippines campaign from 1944 -- 1945 . Full independence came with the recognition of Philippine sovereignty by the U.S. in 1946 . Wake Island ( edit ) Wake Island was annexed as empty territory by the United States in 1899 ( the claim is currently disputed by the Marshall Islands ) . American Samoa ( edit ) Germany , the United States , and Britain colonized the Samoan Islands . The nations came into conflict in the Second Samoan Civil War and the nations resolved their issues , establishing American Samoa as per the Treaty of Berlin , 1899 . The U.S. took control of its allotted region on June 7 , 1900 , with the Deed of Cession . Tutuila Island and Aunuu Island were ceded by their chiefs in 1900 , then added to American Samoa . Manua was annexed in 1904 , then added to American Samoa . Swains Island was annexed in 1925 ( occupied since 1856 ) , then added to American Samoa . ( The claim is currently disputed by Tokelau , a colonial territory of New Zealand . ) American Samoa was under the control of the U.S. Navy from 1900 to 1951 . American Samoa was made a formal territory in 1929 . From 1951 until 1977 , Territorial Governors were appointed by the Secretary of the Interior . Immigration of Americans was never as strong as it was , for instance , in Hawaii ; indigenous Samoans make up 89 % of the population . The islands have been reluctant to separate from the U.S. in any manner . Dominican Republic ( edit ) The Annexation of Santo Domingo was an attempted treaty during the later Reconstruction Era , initiated by United States President Ulysses S. Grant in 1869 , to annex `` Santo Domingo '' ( as the Dominican Republic was then commonly known ) as a United States territory , with the promise of eventual statehood . President Grant feared some European power would take the island in violation of the Monroe Doctrine . He privately thought annexation would be a safety valve for African Americans who were suffering persecution in the US , but he did not include this in his official messages . Grant speculated that the acquisition of Santo Domingo would help bring about the end of slavery in Cuba and elsewhere . Militarily he wanted a US naval port in the Dominican Republic which would also serve as protection for a projected canal across Nicaragua . On January 10 , 1870 President Grant formally submitted Sec . Fish 's Dominican Republic annexation treaty to the U.S. Senate . The treaty was stalled in the Senate until Sen. Sumner 's Foreign Relations Committee started hearings in mid February , 1870 . On 19 February , a referendum was held in the Dominican Republic , in which nearly 99 % of the votes cast were in favor of the annexation . Sec . Fish noted that the Senate was reluctant to pass any measures initiated by the Executive Branch . Sen. Sumner allowed the treaty to be debated openly on the Committee without giving his own opinion . However , on March 15 , Senator Sumner 's Foreign Relations Committee in a closed session voted to oppose the treaty 5 to 2 . On March 24 , in another closed session , Sen. Sumner came out strongly against the treaty . Sen. Sumner opposed the treaty believing annexation would be expensive , launch an American empire in the Caribbean , and would diminish independent Afro - Hispanic and African creole republics in the Western Hemisphere . Grant met with many Senators on Capitol Hill hoping to rally support for the Treaty , however , to no avail . Grant refused the suggestion that the treaty drop the Dominican statehood clause . Finally on June 30 , 1870 the Senate defeated the Dominican Republic Annexation treaty by a vote of 28 to 28 . Eighteen Senators had joined Sen. Sumner to defeat the Dominican annexation treaty . The first United States occupation of the Dominican Republic lasted from 1916 to 1924 . It was one of the many interventions in Latin America undertaken by the military forces of the United States . On May 13 , 1916 , Rear Admiral William B. Caperton forced the Dominican Republic 's Secretary of War Desiderio Arias , who had seized power from Juan Isidro Jimenes Pereyra , to leave Santo Domingo by threatening the city with naval bombardment . From the start of the intervention until the Marines withdrew in 1924 , they were in almost continuous actions on both the squad and platoon levels , fighting numerous small - unit actions with elusive bandits . Despite the ability of the Marines to bring a large amount of firepower to bear against the bandits from both the ground and the air , the leathernecks had their share of problems as well . Sometimes the enemy would successfully ambush a lone Marine patrol , killing all or most of its members , and would scatter before reinforcements arrived on the scene . Panama Canal Zone ( edit ) The Panama Canal Zone was an unorganized US territory located within the Republic of Panama . It was established under the Hay -- Bunau - Varilla Treaty in 1903 and disestablished in 1979 under the Torrijos -- Carter Treaties . Panama gained full control over the Panama Canal in 1999 . Virgin Islands ( edit ) A referendum on transferring ownership from Denmark to the United States was held on 9 January 1868 on the islands of Sankt Jan and Sankt Thomas , two of three main islands in the Danish West Indies . Of the votes cast , 98 % were in favor of the transfer , but it never materialized . A second referendum was held in all three islands on 17 August 1916 , once again with overwhelming support for the transfer . In 1917 , the United States purchased the former Danish colony of St. Croix , St. John and St. Thomas , which is now the U.S. Virgin Islands . The United States -- which had made an earlier approach in 1902 -- purchased these islands because they feared that the islands might be seized as a submarine base during World War I. After several months of secret negotiations , a sales price of $25 million was agreed . A non-binding referendum in Denmark held in late 1916 confirmed the decision to sell by a wide margin . The U.S. took possession of the islands on March 31 , 1917 a few days before the U.S entered the war . The deal was ratified and finalized on January 17 , 1917 , when the United States and Denmark exchanged their respective treaty ratifications . The territory was renamed the U.S. Virgin Islands . U.S. citizenship was granted to the inhabitants of the islands in 1927 . Trust territory of the Pacific Islands ( edit ) The Trust Territory of the Pacific Islands ( TTPI ) was a United Nations trust territory in Micronesia ( western Pacific ) administered by the United States from July 18 , 1947 , comprising the former League of Nations Mandate administered by Japan and taken by the U.S. in 1944 . The various island groupings in the Trust Territory were later divided up . The Marshall Islands and the Federated States of Micronesia achieved independence on October 21 , 1986 . Palau did so in 1994 . All three nations signed Compacts of Free Association with the United States . Mexican Boundary ( edit ) The Boundary Treaty of 1970 transferred 823 acres ( 3.33 km ) of Mexican territory to the U.S. , in areas near Presidio and Hidalgo , Texas , to build flood control channels . In exchange , the U.S. ceded 2,177 acres ( 8.81 km ) to Mexico , including five parcels near Presidio , the Horcon Tract containing the little town of Rio Rico , Texas , and Beaver Island near Roma , Texas . The last of these transfers occurred in 1977 . On November 24 , 2009 , the U.S. ceded 6 islands in the Rio Grande to Mexico , totaling 107.81 acres ( 0.4363 km ) . At the same time , Mexico ceded 3 islands and 2 cuts to the U.S. , totaling 63.53 acres ( 0.2571 km ) . This transfer , which had been pending for 20 years , was the first application of Article III of the 1970 Boundary Treaty . The Chamizal Treaty of 1963 , which ended a hundred - year dispute between the two countries near El Paso , Texas , transferred 630 acres ( 2.5 km ) from the U.S. to Mexico in 1967 . In return , Mexico transferred 264 acres ( 1.07 km ) to the U.S. The Rio Grande Rectification Treaty of 1933 straightened and stabilized the 155 miles ( 249 km ) of river boundary through the highly developed El Paso - Juárez Valley . Numerous parcels of land ( 174 ) were transferred between the two countries during the construction period , 1935 -- 1938 . At the end , each nation had ceded an equal area of land ( 2,560.5 acres ( 10.362 km ) ) to the other . The Banco Convention of 1905 resulted in many exchanges of bancos ( land surrounded by bends in the river that became segregated from either country by a cutoff , often due to rapid accretion or avulsion of the alluvial channel ) between the two nations , most often in the Lower Rio Grande Valley . Under the treaty , the following transfers involving Texas occurred from 1910 -- 1976 : Year # Bancos Acres to USA Acres to Mexico Net total Year # Bancos Acres to USA Acres to Mexico Net total 1910 57 5,357.2 3,101.2 2,256 1942 63.3 0 63.3 1912 31 1,094.4 2,343.0 − 1,248.6 1943 482.9 100.5 382.4 1928 42 3,089.9 1,407.8 1,682.1 1944 14 253.7 166.2 87.5 1930 31 4,685.6 984.3 3,701.3 1945 16 240.9 333.5 − 92.6 1931 158.4 328.7 − 170.3 1946 185.8 0 185.8 1932 159.7 0 159.7 1949 190.2 281.9 − 91.7 1933 0 122.1 − 122.1 1956 508.3 0 508.3 1934 278.1 0 278.1 1968 0 154.6 − 154.6 1939 240.2 0 240.2 1970 21 449.8 1,881.8 − 1,432 1940 0 209.5 − 209.5 1976 6 49.2 0 49.2 1941 6 224.5 246.9 − 22.4 Total 245 17,712 acres ( 71.68 km ) 11,662 acres ( 47.19 km ) 6,050 acres ( 24.5 km ) In 1927 under the same 1905 Convention , the U.S. acquired two bancos from Mexico at the Colorado River border with Arizona . Farmers Banco , covering 583.4 acres ( 2.361 km ) , a part of the Cocopah Indian Reservation at 32 ° 37 ′ 27 '' N 114 ° 46 ′ 45 '' W / 32.62417 ° N 114.77917 ° W / 32.62417 ; - 114.77917 , was ceded to the U.S. with controversy . Fain Banco ( 259 acres ( 1.05 km ) ) at 32 ° 31 ′ 32 '' N 114 ° 47 ′ 28 '' W / 32.52556 ° N 114.79111 ° W / 32.52556 ; - 114.79111 also became U.S. soil . Proposed : Based on aerial surveys in 2008 , there are 138 cases where the widest channel of normal flow of the Rio Grande has shifted from previous surveys . Therefore , the International Boundary Line is to be changed under Article III of the 1970 Boundary Treaty . The result is 138 proposed transfers of territory that remain pending further evaluation and approval by the International Boundary and Water Commission and the two governments . Upon resolution , the U.S. is to cede 7 islands and 60 cuts in the Rio Grande to Mexico , totaling 1,251.2 acres ( 5.063 km ) , while Mexico is to cede 3 islands and 68 cuts to the U.S. , totaling 1,275.9 acres ( 5.163 km ) . Canada ( edit ) In 1925 , to correct an unintended effect from an earlier treaty , the U.S. ceded to Canada two enclaves comprising two and one - half acres of water territory in the Lake of the Woods . Northern Mariana Islands ( edit ) The Northern Mariana Islands were part of the former Trust Territory of the Pacific Islands but decided in the 1970s not to seek independence . The Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands in political union with the United States was established in 1978 . Ryukyu Islands ( edit ) The United States Military Government of the Ryukyu Islands ( 琉球 列島 米国 軍 政府 Ryūkyū - rettō Beikoku Gunseifu ) was the government in Okinawa , Japan from 1945 to 1950 , whereupon it was replaced by the United States Civil Administration of the Ryukyu Islands from 1950 until 1972 . South Korea ( edit ) The United States Army Military Government in Korea ( USAMGIK ; Korean : 재 조선 미 육군 사령부 군정청 ; Hanja : 在 朝鮮 美 陸軍 司令 部 軍政 廳 ) was the official ruling body of the southern half of the Korean Peninsula from September 8 , 1945 to August 15 , 1948 .

Launched at 12 : 33 a.m. Eastern Standard Time ( EST ) on December 7 , 1972 , with a crew made up of Commander Eugene Cernan , Command Module Pilot Ronald Evans , and Lunar Module Pilot Harrison Schmitt , it was the last use of Apollo hardware for its original purpose ; after Apollo 17 , extra Apollo spacecraft were used in the Skylab and Apollo -- Soyuz programs . Apollo 17 was the first night launch of a U.S. human spaceflight and the final manned launch of a Saturn V rocket . It was a `` J - type mission '' which included three days on the lunar surface , extended scientific capability , and the third Lunar Roving Vehicle ( LRV ) . While Evans remained in lunar orbit in the Command / Service Module ( CSM ) , Cernan and Schmitt spent just over three days on the moon in the Taurus -- Littrow valley and completed three moonwalks , taking lunar samples and deploying scientific instruments . Evans took scientific measurements and photographs from orbit using a Scientific Instruments Module mounted in the Service Module . The landing site was chosen with the primary objectives of Apollo 17 in mind : to sample lunar highland material older than the impact that formed Mare Imbrium , and investigate the possibility of relatively new volcanic activity in the same area . Cernan , Evans and Schmitt returned to Earth on December 19 after a 12 - day mission . Apollo 17 is the most recent manned Moon landing and was the last time humans travelled beyond low Earth orbit . It was also the first mission to have no one on board who had been a test pilot ; X-15 test pilot Joe Engle lost the lunar module pilot assignment to Schmitt , a scientist . The mission broke several records : the longest moon landing , longest total extravehicular activities ( moonwalks ) , largest lunar sample , and longest time in lunar orbit .

Cernan Third and last spaceflight Command Module Pilot Ronald E. Evans Only spaceflight Lunar Module Pilot Harrison H. Schmitt Only spaceflight Eugene Cernan , Ronald Evans , and former X-15 pilot Joe Engle were assigned to the backup crew of Apollo 14 . Engle flew sixteen X-15 flights , three of which exceeded the 50 mi ( 80 km ) border of space . Following the rotation pattern that a backup crew would fly as the prime crew three missions later , Cernan , Evans , and Engle would have flown Apollo 17 . Harrison Schmitt served on the backup crew of Apollo 15 and , following the crew rotation cycle , was slated to fly as Lunar Module Pilot on Apollo 18 . However , Apollo 18 was cancelled in September 1970 . Following this decision , the scientific community pressured NASA to assign a geologist to an Apollo landing , as opposed to a pilot trained in geology . In light of this pressure , Harrison Schmitt , a professional geologist , was assigned the Lunar Module Pilot position on Apollo 17 . Scientist - astronaut Curt Michel believed that it was his own decision to resign , after it became clear that he would not be given a flight assignment , that mobilized this action . Subsequent to the decision to assign Schmitt to Apollo 17 , there remained the question of which crew ( the full backup crew of Apollo 15 , Dick Gordon , Vance Brand , and Schmitt , or the backup crew of Apollo 14 ) would become prime crew of the mission . NASA Director of Flight Crew Operations Deke Slayton ultimately assigned the backup crew of Apollo 14 ( Cernan and Evans ) , along with Schmitt , to the prime crew of Apollo 17 . Backup crew ( edit ) Original ( edit ) Position Astronaut Commander David Scott Command Module Pilot Alfred Worden Lunar Module Pilot James Irwin This had been the Apollo 15 prime crew . Replacement ( edit ) Position Astronaut Commander John Young Command Module Pilot Stuart Roosa Lunar Module Pilot Charles Duke The Apollo 15 prime crew received the backup assignment since this was to be the last lunar mission and the backup crew would not rotate to another mission . However , when the Apollo 15 postage stamp incident became public in early 1972 the crew was reprimanded by NASA and the United States Air Force ( they were active duty officers ) . Director of Flight Crew Operations Deke Slayton removed them from flight status and replaced them with Young and Duke from the Apollo 16 prime crew and Roosa from the Apollo 14 prime and Apollo 16 backup crews . Support crew ( edit ) Robert F. Overmyer Robert A. Parker C. Gordon Fullerton Mission insignia ( edit ) Apollo 17 space - flown silver Robbins medallion The insignia 's most prominent feature is an image of the Greek sun god Apollo backdropped by a rendering of an American eagle , the red bars on the eagle mirroring those on the flag of the United States . Three white stars above the red bars represent the three crewmen of the mission . The background includes the Moon , the planet Saturn and a galaxy or nebula . The wing of the eagle partially overlays the Moon , suggesting man 's established presence there . The gaze of Apollo and the direction of the eagle 's motion embody man 's intention to explore further destinations in space . The patch includes , along with the colors of the U.S. flag ( red , white , and blue ) , the color gold , representative of a `` golden age '' of spaceflight that was to begin with Apollo 17 . The image of Apollo in the mission insignia is a rendering of the Apollo Belvedere sculpture . The insignia was designed by Robert McCall , with input from the crew . Planning and training ( edit ) Gene Cernan participates in geology training in Sudbury , Ontario in May 1972 Like Apollo 15 and Apollo 16 , Apollo 17 was slated to be a `` J - mission , '' an Apollo mission type that featured lunar surface stays of three days , higher scientific capability , and the usage of the Lunar Roving Vehicle . Since Apollo 17 was to be the final lunar landing of the Apollo program , high - priority landing sites that had not been visited previously were given consideration for potential exploration . A landing in the crater Copernicus was considered , but was ultimately rejected because Apollo 12 had already obtained samples from that impact , and three other Apollo expeditions had already visited the vicinity of Mare Imbrium . A landing in the lunar highlands near the crater Tycho was also considered , but was rejected because of the rough terrain found there and a landing on the lunar far side in the crater Tsiolkovskiy was rejected due to technical considerations and the operational costs of maintaining communication during surface operations . A landing in a region southwest of Mare Crisium was also considered , but rejected on the grounds that a Soviet spacecraft could easily access the site ; Luna 21 eventually did so shortly after the Apollo 17 site selection was made . After the elimination of several sites , three sites made the final consideration for Apollo 17 : Alphonsus crater , Gassendi crater , and the Taurus - Littrow valley . In making the final landing site decision , mission planners took into consideration the primary objectives for Apollo 17 : obtaining old highlands material from a substantial distance from Mare Imbrium , sampling material from young volcanic activity ( i.e. , less than three billion years ) , and having minimal ground overlap with the orbital ground tracks of Apollo 15 and Apollo 16 to maximize the amount of new data obtained . The Taurus - Littrow site was selected with the prediction that the crew would be able to obtain samples of old highland material from the remnants of a landslide event that occurred on the south wall of the valley and the possibility of relatively young , explosive volcanic activity in the area . Although the valley is similar to the landing site of Apollo 15 in that it is on the border of a lunar mare , the advantages of Taurus - Littrow were believed to outweigh the drawbacks , thus leading to its selection as the Apollo 17 landing site . Apollo 17 was the only lunar landing mission to carry the Traverse Gravimeter Experiment ( TGE ) , an experiment built by Draper Laboratory at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology designed to provide relative gravity measurements throughout the landing site at various locations during the mission 's moonwalks . Scientists would then use this data to gather information about the geological substructure of the landing site and the surrounding vicinity . As with previous lunar landings , the Apollo 17 astronauts underwent an extensive training program that included training to collect samples on the surface , usage of the spacesuits , navigation in the Lunar Roving Vehicle , field geology training , survival training , splashdown and recovery training , and equipment training . Mission hardware and experiments ( edit ) Traverse gravimeter ( edit ) Apollo 17 was the only Apollo lunar landing mission to carry the Traverse Gravimeter Experiment . As gravimeters had proven to be useful in the geologic investigation of the Earth , the objective of this experiment was to determine the feasibility of using the same techniques on the Moon to learn about its internal structure . The gravimeter was used to obtain readings at the landing site in the immediate vicinity of the Lunar Module ( LM ) , as well as various locations on the mission 's traverse routes . The TGE was carried on the Lunar Roving Vehicle ; measurements were taken by the astronauts while the LRV was not in motion or after the gravimeter was placed on the surface . A total of twenty - six measurements were taken with the TGE during the mission 's three moonwalks , with productive results . As part of the Apollo Lunar Surface Experiments Package ( ALSEP ) , the astronauts also deployed the Lunar Surface Gravimeter , a similar experiment , which ultimately failed to function properly . Scientific instrument Module ( edit ) Apollo 17 SIM bay on the Service Module , seen from the Lunar Module in orbit around the Moon Sector one of the Apollo 17 Service Module ( SM ) contained the Scientific Instrument Module ( SIM ) bay . The SIM bay housed three experiments for use in lunar orbit : a lunar sounder , an infrared scanning radiometer , and a far - ultraviolet spectrometer . A mapping camera , panoramic camera , and a laser altimeter were also included in the SIM bay . The lunar sounder beamed electromagnetic impulses toward the lunar surface , which were designed with the objective of obtaining data to assist in developing a geological model of the interior of the Moon to an approximate depth of 1.3 km ( 0.81 mi ) . The Infrared Scanning Radiometer was designed with the objective of generating a temperature map of the lunar surface to aid in locating surface features such as rock fields , structural differences in the lunar crust , and volcanic activity . The Far - Ultraviolet Spectrometer was to be used to obtain data pertaining to the composition , density , and constituency of the lunar atmosphere . The spectrometer was also designed to detect far - UV radiation emitted by the Sun that has been reflected off the lunar surface . The Laser Altimeter was designed with the intention of measuring the altitude of the spacecraft above the lunar surface within approximately two meters ( 6.6 feet ) , and providing altitude information to the panoramic and mapping cameras . Light Flash phenomenon ( edit ) Main article : Cosmic ray visual phenomena Throughout the Apollo lunar missions , the crew members observed light flashes that penetrated closed eyelids . These flashes , described as `` streaks '' or `` specks '' of light , were usually observed by astronauts while the spacecraft was darkened during a sleep period . These flashes , while not observed on the lunar surface , would average about two per minute and were observed by the crew members during the trip out to the Moon , back to Earth , and in lunar orbit . The Apollo 17 crew conducted an experiment , also conducted on Apollo 16 , with the objective of linking these light flashes with cosmic rays . As part of an experiment conducted by NASA and the University of Houston , one astronaut wore a device that recorded the time , strength , and path of high - energy atomic particles that penetrated the device . Analysis of the results concluded that the evidence supported the hypothesis that the flashes occurred when charged particles travelled through the retina in the eye . Surface electrical Properties experiment ( edit ) Apollo 17 lunar rover at its final resting place on the Moon . The Surface Electrical Properties ( SEP ) receiver is the antenna on the right - rear of the vehicle Apollo 17 was the only lunar surface expedition to include the Surface Electrical Properties ( SEP ) experiment . The experiment included two major components : a transmitting antenna deployed near the Lunar Module and a receiving antenna located on the Lunar Roving Vehicle . At different stops during the mission 's traverses , electrical signals traveled from the transmitting device , through the ground , and received at the LRV . The electrical properties of the lunar soil could be determined by comparison of the transmitted and received electrical signals . The results of this experiment , which are consistent with lunar rock composition , show that the top 2 km ( 1.2 mi ) of the Moon are extremely dry . Lunar Roving Vehicle ( edit ) Apollo 17 was the third mission ( the others being Apollo 15 and Apollo 16 ) to make use of a Lunar Roving Vehicle . The LRV , in addition to being used by the astronauts for transport from station to station on the mission 's three moonwalks , was used to transport the astronauts ' tools , communications equipment , and samples . The Apollo 17 LRV was also used to carry experiments unique to the mission , such as the Traverse Gravimeter and Surface Electrical Properties experiment . The Apollo 17 LRV traveled a cumulative distance of approximately 35.9 km ( 22.3 mi ) in a total drive time of about four hours and twenty - six minutes ; the greatest distance Eugene Cernan and Harrison Schmitt traveled from the Lunar Module was about 7.6 km ( 4.7 mi ) . Biological cosmic ray experiment ( edit ) Apollo 17 included a biological cosmic ray experiment ( BIOCORE ) , carrying mice that had been implanted with radiation monitors to see whether they suffered damage from cosmic rays . Five pocket mice ( Perognathus longimembris ) were implanted with radiation monitors under their scalps and flown on the mission . The species was chosen because it was well - documented , small , easy to maintain in an isolated state ( not requiring drinking water for the duration of the mission and with highly concentrated waste ) , and for its ability to withstand environmental stress . Four of the five mice survived the flight ; the cause of death of the fifth mouse was not determined . The study found lesions in the scalp itself and liver . The scalp lesions and liver lesions appeared to be unrelated to one another , and were not thought to be the result of cosmic rays . No damage was found in the mice 's retinas or viscera . At the time of the publication of the Apollo 17 Preliminary Science Report , the mouse brains had not yet been examined . However , subsequent studies showed no significant effect on the brains . Officially , the mice -- four male and one female -- were assigned the identification numbers A3326 , A3400 , A3305 , A3356 and A3352 . Unofficially , according to Cernan , the Apollo 17 crew dubbed them `` Fe '' , `` Fi '' , `` Fo '' , `` Fum '' and `` Phooey '' .

The launch was delayed by two hours and forty minutes due to an automatic cutoff in the launch sequencer at the T - 30 second mark in the countdown . The issue was quickly determined to be a minor technical error . The clock was reset and held at the T - 22 minute mark while technicians worked around the malfunction in order to continue with the launch . This pause was the only launch delay in the Apollo program caused by this type of hardware failure . The count then resumed , and the liftoff occurred at 12 : 33 am EST . Approximately 500,000 people were estimated to have observed the launch in the immediate vicinity of Kennedy Space Center , despite the early morning hour . The launch was visible as far away as 800 km ( 500 mi ) ; observers in Miami , Florida , saw a `` red streak '' crossing the northern sky . At 3 : 46 am EST , the S - IVB third stage was re-ignited to propel the spacecraft towards the Moon . At approximately 2 : 47 pm EST on December 10 , the Service Propulsion System engine on the Command / Service Module ignited to slow down the CSM / Lunar Module stack into lunar orbit . Following orbit insertion and orbital stabilization , the crew began preparations for landing in the Taurus - Littrow valley . Moon landing ( edit ) After separating from the Command / Service Module , the Lunar Module Challenger and its crew of two , Eugene Cernan and Harrison Schmitt , adjusted their orbit and began preparations for the descent to Taurus - Littrow . While Cernan and Schmitt prepared for landing , Command Module Pilot Ron Evans remained in orbit to take observations , perform experiments and await the return of his crew - mates a few days later . Soon after completing their preparations for landing , Cernan and Schmitt began their descent to the Taurus - Littrow valley on the lunar surface . Several minutes after the descent phase was initiated , the Lunar Module pitched over , giving the crew their first look at the landing site during the descent phase and allowing Cernan to guide the spacecraft to a desirable landing target while Schmitt provided data from the flight computer essential for landing . The LM touched down on the lunar surface at 2 : 55 pm EST on December 11 . Shortly thereafter , the two astronauts began re-configuring the LM for their stay on the surface and began preparations for the first moonwalk of the mission , or EVA - 1 . Lunar surface ( edit ) Eugene Cernan on the lunar surface , December 13 , 1972 The first moonwalk ( EVA ) of the mission began approximately four hours after landing , at about 6 : 55 pm on December 11 . The first task of the first lunar excursion was to offload the Lunar Roving Vehicle and other equipment from the Lunar Module . While working near the rover , a fender was accidentally broken off when Gene Cernan brushed up against it , his hammer getting caught under the right - rear fender , breaking off the rear extension . The same incident had also occurred on Apollo 16 as Commander John Young maneuvered around the rover . Although this was not a mission - critical issue , the loss of the fender caused Cernan and Schmitt to be covered with dust thrown up when the rover was in motion . The crew used duct tape to fix the problem by attaching a map to the damaged fender , but the dust picked up on the tape surface prevented it from sticking properly and the first fix was short lived . After an overnight rethink by the flight controllers , a better method of applying the tape resulted in a satisfactory fix that lasted for the length of the exploration . The crew then deployed the Apollo Lunar Surface Experiments Package ( ALSEP ) west of the immediate landing site . After completing this , Cernan and Schmitt departed on the first geologic traverse of the mission towards Steno crater to the south of the landing site , during which they gathered 14 kilograms ( 31 lb ) of samples ; took seven gravimeter measurements ; and deployed two explosive packages , which were later detonated remotely to test geophones that had been placed by the astronauts and seismometers that had been placed on previous Apollo missions . The EVA ended after seven hours and twelve minutes . Apollo 17 landing site , photographed in 2011 by Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter Lunar Regolith collected during Apollo 17 On December 12 , at 6 : 28 pm EST , Cernan and Schmitt began their second lunar excursion . One of the first tasks of the EVA was repairing the right - rear fender on the LRV , the rearward extension of which had been broken off the previous day . The pair did this by taping together four cronopaque maps with duct tape and clamping the replacement fender extension to the fender , thus providing a means of preventing dust from raining down upon them while in motion . During this EVA , the pair sampled several different types of geologic deposits found in the valley , including the avalanche at the base of the South Massif , orange - colored soil at Shorty crater , and ejecta of Camelot crater . The crew completed this moonwalk after seven hours and thirty - seven minutes . They collected 34 kilograms ( 75 lb ) of samples , deployed three more explosive packages and took seven gravimeter measurements . The third moonwalk , the last of the Apollo program , began at 5 : 26 pm EST on December 13 . During this excursion , the crew collected 66 kilograms ( 146 lb ) of lunar samples and took nine gravimeter measurements . They drove the rover to the north and east of the landing site and explored the base of the North Massif , the Sculptured Hills , and the unusual crater Van Serg . Before ending the moonwalk , the crew collected a rock , a breccia , and dedicated it to several different nations which were represented in Mission Control Center in Houston , Texas , at the time . A plaque located on the Lunar Module , commemorating the achievements made during the Apollo program , was then unveiled . Before reentering the LM for the final time , Gene Cernan expressed his thoughts : ... I 'm on the surface ; and , as I take man 's last step from the surface , back home for some time to come - but we believe not too long into the future - I 'd like to just ( say ) what I believe history will record . That America 's challenge of today has forged man 's destiny of tomorrow . And , as we leave the Moon at Taurus - Littrow , we leave as we came and , God willing , as we shall return , with peace and hope for all mankind . `` Godspeed the crew of Apollo 17 . '' Cernan then followed Schmitt into the Lunar Module after spending approximately seven hours and 15 minutes outside during the mission 's final lunar excursion . Return to Earth ( edit ) Apollo 17 post-landing recovery operations Apollo 17 Command Module after splashdown , with USS Ticonderoga in background . Eugene Cernan and Harrison Schmitt successfully lifted off from the lunar surface in the ascent stage of the Lunar Module on December 14 , at 5 : 55 pm EST . After a successful rendezvous and docking with Ron Evans in the Command / Service Module in orbit , the crew transferred equipment and lunar samples between the LM and the CSM for return to Earth . Following this , the LM ascent stage was sealed off and jettisoned at 1 : 31 am on December 15 . The ascent stage was then deliberately crashed into the Moon in a collision recorded by seismometers deployed on Apollo 17 and previous Apollo expeditions . On December 17 , during the trip back to Earth , at 3 : 27 pm EST , Ron Evans successfully conducted a one - hour and seven minute spacewalk to retrieve exposed film from the instrument bay on the exterior of the CSM . On December 19 , the crew jettisoned the no - longer - needed Service Module , leaving only the Command Module for return to Earth . The Apollo 17 spacecraft reentered Earth 's atmosphere and landed safely in the Pacific Ocean at 2 : 25 pm , 6.4 kilometers ( 4.0 mi ) from the recovery ship , USS Ticonderoga . Cernan , Evans and Schmitt were then retrieved by a recovery helicopter and were safely aboard the recovery ship 52 minutes after landing . Spacecraft locations ( edit ) Apollo 17 Command Module , on display at Space Center Houston . The Command Module America is currently on display at Space Center Houston at the Lyndon B. Johnson Space Center in Houston , Texas . The ascent stage of lunar module Challenger impacted the Moon December 15 , 1972 at 06 : 50 : 20.8 UT ( 1 : 50 am EST ) , at 19 ° 58 ′ N 30 ° 30 ′ E / 19.96 ° N 30.50 ° E / 19.96 ; 30.50 ( Apollo 17 LM ascent stage ) . The descent stage remains on the Moon at the landing site , 20 ° 11 ′ 27 '' N 30 ° 46 ′ 18 '' E / 20.19080 ° N 30.77168 ° E / 20.19080 ; 30.77168 ( Apollo 17 LM descent stage ) . In 2009 and again in 2011 , the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter photographed the landing site from increasingly low orbits . Depiction of mission in fiction and popular culture ( edit ) Portions of the Apollo 17 mission are dramatized in the 1998 HBO miniseries From the Earth to the Moon episode entitled `` Le Voyage dans la Lune . '' The prologue to the 1999 novel Back to the Moon , by Homer Hickam , begins with a dramatized depiction of the end of the second Apollo 17 EVA . The orange soil then becomes the major driver of the plot of the rest of the story . The 2005 novel Tyrannosaur Canyon by Douglas Preston opens with a depiction of the Apollo 17 moonwalks using quotes taken from the official mission transcript . Additionally , there have been fictional astronauts in film , literature and television who have been described as `` the last man to walk on the Moon , '' implying they were crew members on Apollo 17 . One such character was Steve Austin in the television series The Six Million Dollar Man . In the 1972 novel Cyborg , upon which the series was based , Austin remembers watching the Earth `` fall away during Apollo XVII . '' In the 1998 film Deep Impact fictional astronaut Spurgeon `` Fish '' Tanner , portrayed by Robert Duvall , was described at a Presidential press conference as the `` last man to walk on the moon '' by the President of the United States , portrayed by Morgan Freeman . In the Anime Aldnoah. Zero , the Apollo 17 mission locates an ancient transporter gate leading to Mars left by an unknown , extinct alien race . This discovery is the divergence point for the story 's alternate history . The song `` Contact '' from Daft Punk includes audio from the Apollo 17 mission , courtesy of NASA and Captain Eugene Cernan . The song `` Tomorrow '' by Public Service Broadcasting also includes audio of Commander Eugene A. Cernan and Lunar Module pilot Harrison `` Jack '' Schmitt from the mission .

He maintained that his decision to return to research prompted a shuffle among flight crews that led to one scientist , Harrison `` Jack '' Schmitt , landing on the moon with Apollo 17 . `` The National Academy of Sciences got all pushed out of shape when I left , '' Michel said . `` I think that was largely influential in Jack getting his flight . When it looked like their primary idea of getting a scientist to the moon was going to flop , they finally started pushing their weight around .

"The Taurus-Littrow site was selected with the prediction that the crew would be able to obtain samples of old highland material from the remnants of a landslide event that occurred on the south wall of the valley and the possibility of relatively young, explosive volcanic activity in the area. Although the valley is similar to the landing site of Apollo 15 in that it is on the border of a lunar mare, the advantages of Taurus-Littrow were believed to outweigh the drawbacks, thus leading to its selection as the Apollo 17 landing site.[2]"

-4136067280606107715 | Chip on shoulder | Chip on shoulder - wikipedia Chip on shoulder Jump to : navigation , search Look up chip on one 's shoulder in Wiktionary , the free dictionary . To have a chip on one 's shoulder refers to the act of holding a grudge or grievance that readily provokes disputation . It can also mean a person thinking too much of oneself ( often without the credentials ) . History ( edit ) Cover of sheet music for the song titled : `` Do n't Try to Knock a Chip from Riley 's Shoulder . '' ( J.W. Wheeler ) which alludes to the expression , `` A chip on the shoulder '' comes from the ancient right of shipwrights within the Royal Navy Dockyards to take home a daily allowance of offcuts of timber , even if good wood was cut up for this purpose . The privilege was instated as a prescriptive right from 1634 . By 1756 , this privilege had been abused and was costing taxpayers too much in lost timber for warship repair and construction . The decision was then made by the Navy Board to limit the quantity a shipwright could carry home . A warrant was issued to the Royal Dockyards to reduce the quantity of chips by ordering shipwrights to carry their bundles under their arms instead of on their shoulders , as one could not carry as much timber in this fashion . The specific incident from which the expression derives is as follows : `` Master Shipwright and his Assistant , Chatham Dockyard , to Navy Board , 17 June 1756 . On Tuesday a petition was brought to the Honourable Thomas Cooper , Esq. , Commissioner of this yard , by John Bissenden and Robert Woodriff , shipwrights , in behalf of the whole body of shipwrights , relating to their carrying chips out of the yard on their shoulders . The next day the Commissioner sent for them in the presence of the Master Shipwright and the First Assistant and represented to them the ill consequence of such proceedings , and read to them your Honourable Board 's warrant of the 4 May 1753 on which the said two men withdrew the petition and said they would talk to all the people and believe everybody would be satisfied with what had been said to them . And in the afternoon the Master Shipwright sent for all the foremen and quartermen and read the Order to them of the 4th May 1753 , and give every quarterman a particular charge to tell all his men separately what the order was relating to their lowering their chips and carrying them under their arm out of the yard . This day at twelve of the clock some few of the workmen about one hundred and fifty came up first to the gate without any chips , afterwards about twenty more came and lowered their chips agreeable to the Board 's warrant . Then came John Miller , shipwright , about thirty feet before the main body of the people , on which the Master Shipwright ordered him to lower his chips . He answered he would not , with that the Master Shipwright took hold of him , and said he should . He , the said Miller replied , ' Are not the chips mine ? I will not lower them . ' Immediately the main body pushed on with their chips on their shoulders , crowded and forced the Master Shipwright and the First Assistant through the gateway , and when out of the yard give three huzzas . '' An American wartime poster alluding to the expression . This custom is known in North America since the early 19th century . The New York newspaper Long Island Telegraph reported on 20 May 1830 `` when two churlish boys were determined to fight , a chip would be placed on the shoulder of one , and the other demanded to knock it off at his peril '' . A similar notion is mentioned in the issue of the Onondaga Standard of Syracuse , New York on 8 December 1830 : `` ' He waylay me ' , said I , ' the mean sneaking fellow -- I am only afraid that he will sue me for damages . Oh ! if I only could get him to knock a chip off my shoulder , and so get round the law , I would give him one of the soundest thrashings he ever had ' . '' Some time later in 1855 , the phrase `` chip on his shoulder '' appeared in the Weekly Oregonian , stating `` Leland , in his last issue , struts out with a chip on his shoulder , and dares Bush to knock it off '' . In American author Mark Twain 's 1898 manuscript of Schoolhouse Hill , character Tom Sawyer states his knowledge of the phrase and custom when he says , `` ( I ) f you want your fuss , and ca n't wait till recess , which is regular , go at it right and fair ; put a chip on your shoulder and dare him to knock it off . '' In Canada , the custom is well described at St. Peter Claver 's Indian Residential School for Ojibway boys in the town of Spanish , Ontario : `` By custom , the challenger , usually one of the intermediates , anxious to prove his worth or avenge some wrong , would deliberately seek out his foe with a wood chip or flat stone on his shoulder , placed there either by his own hand or by that of somebody else . '' The challenger might further provoke his opponent by issuing a dare for him to knock off the chip . The opponent might then display his bravery and contempt by brushing the cheek of the challenger lightly as he did so . In more formal cases , a second might take the chip and present the chip to his man who would then place it on his own shoulder . The boys would then square off and fistfight like boxers .

-2455252827381799340 | Refugees in New Zealand | Refugees in New Zealand - wikipedia Refugees in New Zealand This article describes the stance of New Zealand towards migration of refugees . A refugee accepted into the country is granted permanent residency and may apply for citizenship . As New Zealand receives relatively few asylum seekers much of the discussion in recent years has focussed on whether the annual UNHCR resettlement quota is adequate , focussed on the most vulnerable and on the outcomes of refugees coming through this system . Contents 1 History of refugees in New Zealand 2 Categories under which refugees are accepted into New Zealand 3 Refugee and asylum seeker settlement 4 Asylum seekers by boat 5 Australia - New Zealand relations on refugees 6 Double The Quota campaign 7 Famous refugees from New Zealand 8 References 9 Further reading History of refugees in New Zealand ( edit ) Even before the 1951 United Nations Convention was being adopted by member states , New Zealand accepted refugees . Those granted refugee status prior to the UNHCR Convention were 1100 Jewish refugees during the 1930s 837 Polish refugees , mostly children arrived in 1944 4,500 refugees from Europe between 1949 and 1952 New Zealand acceded to the UNHCR Convention in 1960 , and refugee policy is based on the obligations that flow from that , namely to offer protection to refugees . The text is currently set out in the Sixth Schedule of the Immigration Act 1987 . The Immigration Act is not a description of policy , but rather a framework for assessing and determining claims made by people in New Zealand seeking refugee status . The 1987 Act formalised an annual resettlement quota of 800 places , which was decreased to 750 places in 1997 . Those granted refugee status post the signing of the UNHCR Convention were : Hungarian refugees following 1956 Hungarian revolution Czechoslovaks from the 1968 Prague uprising Asians fleeing Uganda in the 1970s Chileans fleeing General Pinochet in the 1970s Jews and East Europeans fleeing Soviet Union in the 1970s Those fleeing wars in Vietnam , Cambodia and Laos in the 1970s and 1980s Iran , Iraq , and Afghanistan arrive in the 1990s Burma , Somalia , Ethiopia , Sri Lanka , Sudan and the former Yugoslavia in the 1990s Since 2000 , Burundi , Eritrea , Djibouti and Bhutan Colombian refugees since 2008 . Syrian refugees from 2014 . In 2009 , the incoming National government moved to a focus on refugees in the Asia - Pacific region which substantially decreased the number of refugees coming from both the Middle East and Africa . New Zealand now restricts quota refugees from both the Middle East and African unless ( a ) they already have family in New Zealand , ( b ) they are part of an emergency quota outside of the annual intake or ( c ) refugees from this region are able to register with the UNHCR outside of the Middle East and Africa. . These restrictions have led to prominent advocates comparing New Zealand 's policies to the ' Muslim Ban ' of Donald Trump . In the decade 2007 - 2016 the top three refugee resettlement countries of origin have been Myanmar , Bhutan , and Colombia . Categories under which refugees are accepted into New Zealand ( edit ) There are two pathways that refugees find their way into New Zealand . The first is a quota agreement with UNHCR ( United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees ) . The second is by way of an onshore claim to refugee status made after arrival in New Zealand . The status is then confirmed under conventions . Each year New Zealand accepts 750 refugees per year , increasing to 1000 in July 2018 , as part of an agreement with the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees , whereby their status has been ' mandated ' or authenticated by the UNHCR . Because New Zealand is inaccessible by refugee coming by boat or a land bridge , New Zealand offers a resettlement programme . Included within this quota are places for women at risk ( 75 or more ; 125 in 2016 / 17 ) medical / disabled ( up to 75 ; just 2 in 2016 / 17 ) , and emergency protection cases ( 1 in 2016 / 17 ) within their quota . In doing so they offer a preferential option for those who are already marginalised and vulnerable , and the most difficult to place . For this New Zealand had gained international respect for its humanitarianism , though in recent years the numbers of medical / disabled and emergency places have been close to zero . In addition to this quota New Zealand receives asylum seekers , whose claim is then either approved or declined by the Refugee Status Branch of the Immigration New Zealand , or by the Refugee Status Appeals Authority . In 2016 , only 387 refugee status applications were received , with 32 % found to be genuine . Refugees have also entered New Zealand in exceptional circumstances when requested by UNHCR . In 1999 , in response to Kosovo humanitarian crisis , New Zealand accepted over 400 Kosovars for resettlement who had family in New Zealand . Again in 2001 , New Zealand accepted resettlement for 130 Afghan asylum seekers picked up by the freighter , MS Tampa , after their craft capsized in the Indian Ocean . In 2015 a special quota of 600 places , additional to the annual quota , was announced for an intake of Syrian refugees , with 100 arriving in 2015 / 16 and 250 per year for 2016 / 17 and 2017 / 18 . This , effectively , raised the quota to 1000 places from July 2016 onwards . Refugee and asylum seeker settlement ( edit ) Those refugees arriving under the UNHCR quota , arrive in Auckland in groups of about 180 , and stay for the first six weeks at the Mangere Refugee Resettlement Centre . They are offered a programme of residential and employment orientation , and then move off to one of the seven major resettlement areas , Auckland ( restricted to family connected cases in 2016 ) , Hamilton , Palmerston North , Wellington , Nelson , Christchurch ( stopped after the 2011 earthquakes ) , Dunedin and , from 2018 , Invercargill . Asylum seekers who apply for refugee status on shore are equally likely to be held either in prison or the Mangere refugee reception centre ( 1 ) . If they are found to be genuine refugees they will be granted residence , then they are technically able to access Social welfare in New Zealand and other benefits provided by the state . However , assistance that addresses their specific needs as they attempt to integrate into New Zealand is limited . Asylum seekers by boat ( edit ) No mass boat arrival has ever made it to New Zealand . As such , New Zealand is one of a handful of countries that takes the majority of their refugees through a quota system . Nevertheless , in 2013 a Migration Amendment Bill was introduced which would allow the government to mandatorily detain refugees who arrive by boat in groups of ten or more . The bill , colloquially referred to as the Mass Arrivals Bill , was passed as the Migration Amendment Act 2014 but only after Peter Dunne insisted the number rise from ten to thirty people . A number of refugees have claimed that they are attempting to travel to New Zealand to claim asylum in recent years . Refugee advocates have claimed that the John Key and the National government is scare - mongering over asylum seekers in a manner similar to that deployed in Australian politics . Examples of claimed boat arrivals include : - In June 2011 85 Tamils were detained by Indonesia 's maritime police off Sumatra , who were claiming they were travelling to New Zealand . New Zealand Immigration Minister Jonathan Coleman said there was `` no concrete evidence '' that the Sri Lankan people were actually trying to reach New Zealand . `` When they had a look at the boat , there was no evidence that they were truly intending to come here , so I 'm sure there is a range of things that the people on that boat are trying to do to leverage their position , '' Coleman said . `` - In May 2015 a ship with passengers including 54 Sri Lankans ( Tamils ) , 10 Bangladeshis , one person from Myanmar ( Rohingya ) and five additional crew were intercepted 8000km away from New Zealand . They claimed to be wanting to come to New Zealand . Australia - New Zealand relations on refugees ( edit ) Since Helen Clark welcomed refugees from the Tampa New Zealand has been seen as a place where Australia might resettle asylum seekers who arrive by boay . This approach was formalised in an agreement between Julia Gillard and John Key in 2013 to allow up to 150 refugees from the Nauru and Manus detention centres to be relocated to New Zealand every year . With the 2013 Australian election of Tony Abbott the deal has remained on the table but has never been taken up by the Australian Liberal Party . While many Australian refugee advocates have argued for New Zealand to bypass the Australian government and offer the deal directly to refugees in detention , the New Zealand government has made it clear that they are only interested in the deal as sanctioned by the Australian government . Double the quota campaign ( edit ) In June 2013 Doing Our Bit , a small Wellington - based charitable trust led by Murdoch Stephens launched the Double The Quota campaign . The campaign had two goals : to double the number of refugees welcomed through the annual resettlement quota from 750 to 1500 and to double the funding for resettlement services . The campaign justified this increase based on population growth since the quota was set at 800 places in 1987 , and a sharp decrease in the number of asylum seekers accepted from 2001 onwards . They argued that the quota had not increased for three decades , that Australia welcomed five times as many refugees per capita as New Zealand , and that New Zealand ranked around 90th in the world at hosting refugees per capita . Prior to the 2014 election only the Green Party and United Future had policies on increasing the quota . The National party had a policy of decreasing the quota to 500 places in 2002 but this policy was not continued , nor implemented when they gained power in 2008 . At the 2014 election the Labour party indicated they would support raising the quota to 1000 . In early 2015 Amnesty International joined the call to double the quota . The public awakening to the refugee crisis in August of that year led to doubling the quota becoming a popular argument for how New Zealand should respond , gaining support from mayors , churches , other NGOS , the National party youth wing , and media commentators . Public pressure saw the government agree to admit 600 additional Syrian refugees , with 150 places also set aside from within the quota for Syrians . They also said they would consider increasing the quota at the triennial review due in 2016 . A broad - based campaign ran in the first six months of 2016 to encourage the government to double the quota . While it was ultimately unsuccessful in that goal , the government did set in place an increase of the quota to 1000 places for July 2018 . More importantly , United Future , Labour and the Greens all took on a policy of doubling the quota . In the lead up to the 2017 election , Doing Our Bit continued the campaign with a nationwide speaking tour securing pledges of Members of Parliament and candidates to double the quota . Among those signing was then deputy leader of the opposition , Jacinda Ardern . When Ardern eventually became Opposition leader and then leader of the coalition government with New Zealand First , she reiterated that the refugee quota would grow to 1500 places . The Green party also secured a review of the numbers admitted under family reunification for their confidence and supply support . Famous refugees from New Zealand ( edit ) The following are well known refugees in New Zealand : Golriz Ghahraman - Oxford - educated , UN lawyer and New Zealand 's first refugee member of parliament . Elected as a list candidate for the New Zealand Green Party . Rez Gardi - Young New Zealander of the year 2017 . Ahmed Zaoui - Algerian asylum seeker , politicians and poet . Ann Beaglehole , historian . Eliana Rubashkyn - Stateless refugee born in Colombia whose gender was recognized internationally under an UN resolution . New Zealand is also home to numerous high - profile second - generation refugees including Sir John Key , investigative journalist Nicky Hager , and blogger David Farrar .

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 and the South Vietnamese army was supported by the United States , South Korea , Australia , Thailand and other anti-communist allies . The war is therefore considered a Cold War - era proxy war . The Viet Cong ( also known as the National Liberation Front , or NLF ) , 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 , at times committing large units to battle . As the war continued , the military actions of the Viet Cong decreased as the role and engagement of the NVA grew . 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 . In the course of the war , the U.S. conducted a large - scale strategic bombing campaign against North Vietnam . The North Vietnamese government and the Viet Cong were fighting to reunify Vietnam . They viewed the conflict as a colonial war and a continuation of the First Indochina War against forces from France and later on the United States . 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. U.S. involvement escalated in the early 1960s , with troop levels tripling in 1961 and again in 1962 . U.S. involvement escalated further following the 1964 Gulf of Tonkin incident , in which a U.S. destroyer clashed with North Vietnamese fast attack craft , which was followed by the Gulf of Tonkin Resolution , which gave the U.S. president authorization to increase U.S. military presence . Regular U.S. combat units were deployed beginning in 1965 . 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 as American involvement in the war peaked in 1968 , the same year that the communist side launched the Tet Offensive . The Tet Offensive failed in its goal of overthrowing the South Vietnamese government , but became the turning point in the war , as it persuaded a large segment of the U.S. population that its government 's claims of progress toward winning the war were illusory despite many years of massive U.S. military aid to South Vietnam . 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 . Despite the Paris Peace Accord , which was signed by all parties in January 1973 , the fighting continued . In the U.S. and the Western world , a large anti-Vietnam War movement developed as part of a larger counterculture . The war changed the dynamics between the Eastern and Western Blocs , and altered North -- South relations . Direct U.S. military involvement ended on 15 August 1973 . 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 3.1 million . Some 240,000 -- 300,000 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 .

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 ) . The primary military organizations involved in the war were , on one side , the Army of the Republic of Vietnam ( ARVN ) and the U.S. military , and , on the other side , the People 's Army of Vietnam ( PAVN ) ( more commonly called the North Vietnamese Army , or NVA , in English - language sources ) , and the National Front for the Liberation of South Vietnam ( NLF , more commonly known as the Viet Cong in English language sources ) , a South Vietnamese communist guerrilla force . Background See also : History of Vietnam , Cochinchina Campaign , Cần Vương , Việt Nam Quốc Dân Đảng , Yên Bái mutiny , Vietnam during World War II , War in Vietnam ( 1945 -- 46 ) , 1940 -- 46 in the Vietnam War , 1947 -- 50 in the Vietnam War , First Indochina War , Operation Vulture , Operation Passage to Freedom , and 1954 in the Vietnam War 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 USA , Russia 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 , with the Viet Minh being backed by the Soviet Union and the People 's Republic of China and the French being backed by the United States . After the French defeat at the Battle of Dien Bien Phu in 1954 , peace negotiations were initiated . At the Geneva Conference , the French negotiated a ceasefire agreement with the Viet Minh , and independence was granted to Cambodia , Laos , and Vietnam ( the insurgency had spread to Cambodia and Laos , part of French Indochina , as well ) . Exit of the French , 1950 -- 54 Main articles : First Indochina War , Operation Vulture , Operation Passage to Freedom , and 1954 in the Vietnam War In January 1950 , the People 's Republic of 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 . French soldiers fight off a Viet Minh ambush in 1952 . 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 supplied 300,000 small arms and spent US $1 billion in support of the French military effort , shouldering 80 percent of the cost of the war . 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 even now vague and contradictory . U.S. carriers sailed to the Gulf of Tonkin , and reconnaissance flights over Điện Biên Phủ were conducted during the negotiations . 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 they were opposed to such a venture . In the end , convinced that the political risks outweighed the possible benefits , Eisenhower decided against the intervention . Eisenhower was a five - star general . He was wary of getting the United States involved in a land war in Asia . The Viet Minh received crucial support from the Soviet Union and PRC . PRC support in the Border Campaign of 1950 allowed supplies to come from the PRC into Vietnam . Throughout the conflict , U.S. intelligence estimates remained skeptical of French chances of success . The Battle of Dien Bien Phu marked the end of French involvement in Indochina . Giap 's Viet Minh forces handed the French a stunning military defeat , and on 7 May 1954 , the French Union garrison surrendered . 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 Vietnam was temporarily partitioned at the 17th parallel , and 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 . As many as two million more would have left had they not been stopped by the Viet Minh . The northern , mainly Catholic refugees were meant to give the later Ngô Đình Diệm regime a strong anti-communist constituency . Diệm later went on to staff his administration '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 . '' 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 . 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 , 1955 -- 63 Main articles : Ngô Đình Diệm and War in Vietnam ( 1954 -- 59 ) 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 . Rule See also : Ngô Đình Diệm presidential visit to Australia 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 . 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 . Insurgency in the South , 1954 -- 60 Main articles : Viet Cong and War in Vietnam ( 1959 -- 63 ) The Ho Chi Minh trail was used to supply the Viet Cong . 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 . 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 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 '' . 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 -- 63 . Kennedy 's escalation , 1961 -- 63 Main articles : Strategic Hamlet Program and Phạm Ngọc Thảo 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 . President 's news conference of 23 March 1961 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 . '' In May 1961 , U.S. Vice President Lyndon B. Johnson visited Saigon and enthusiastically declared Diệm the `` Winston Churchill of Asia . '' Asked why he had made the comment , Johnson replied , `` Diệm 's the only boy we got out there . '' Johnson assured Diệm of more aid in molding a fighting force that could resist the communists . 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 ( 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 . South Vietnam , Military Regions , 1967 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 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 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 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 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 in that battle 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 coups ; 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 ... '' As historian James Gibson summed up the situation : 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 . A US tank convoy during the Vietnam War Discontent with Diệm 's policies exploded following the Huế Phật Đản shootings of nine majority Buddhists who were protesting against the ban on 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 . 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 . Kennedy and McNamara Ngô Đình Diệm after being shot and killed in the 1963 coup 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 . 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 . '' He 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 . 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 .

Johnson took over the presidency after the death of Kennedy , he had not been heavily involved with policy toward Vietnam , Presidential aide Jack Valenti recalls , `` Vietnam at the time was no bigger than a man 's fist on the horizon . We hardly discussed it because it was not worth discussing . '' Upon becoming president , however , Johnson immediately had to focus on Vietnam : on 24 November 1963 , he said , `` the battle against communism ... must be joined ... with strength and determination . '' The pledge came at a time when the situation in South Vietnam was deteriorating , especially in places like the Mekong Delta , because of the recent coup against Diệm . However , Johnson knew that he had inherited a rapidly deteriorating situation in South Vietnam , believing in the widely accepted arguments that were used 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 . However , there was persistent instability in the military as several coups -- not all successful -- occurred in a short period of time . An alleged Viet Cong activist , captured during an attack on an American outpost near the Cambodian border , is interrogated . On 2 August 1964 , the 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 the USS Turner Joy and Maddox in the same area . The circumstances of the attack were murky . Lyndon Johnson commented to Undersecretary of State George Ball that `` those sailors out there may have been shooting at flying fish . '' The second attack led to retaliatory air strikes , prompted Congress to approve the Gulf of Tonkin Resolution on 7 August 1964 , signed by Johnson , and gave the president power to conduct military operations in Southeast Asia without declaring war . Although Congressmen at the time denied that this was a full - scale war declaration , the Tonkin Resolution allowed the president unilateral power to launch a full - scale war if the president deemed it 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 '' . An undated NSA publication declassified in 2005 , however , revealed that there was no attack on 4 August . It had already been called into question long before this . `` The Gulf of Tonkin incident '' , wrote Louise Gerdes , `` is an oft - cited example of the way in which Johnson misled the American people to gain support for his foreign policy in Vietnam . '' George C. Herring argues , however , that McNamara and the Pentagon `` did not knowingly lie about the alleged attacks , but they were obviously in a mood to retaliate and they seem to have selected from the evidence available to them those parts that confirmed what they wanted to believe . '' `` 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 quite different ; 2,000 in 1961 , rising rapidly to 16,500 in 1964 . By early 1965 , 7,559 South Vietnamese hamlets had been destroyed by the Viet Cong . A Marine from 1st Battalion , 3rd Marines , moves an alleged 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 . The National Security Council recommended a three - stage escalation of the bombing of North Vietnam . On 7 February 1965 following an attack on a U.S. Army base in Pleiku , Operation Flaming Dart ( initiated when Soviet Premier Alexei Kosygin was on a state visit to North Vietnam ) , Operation Rolling Thunder and Operation Arc Light commenced . 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 Vietnam 's air defenses and industrial infrastructure . As well , it was 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 was not restricted to North Vietnam . Other aerial campaigns , such as Operation Commando Hunt , 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 objective of stopping North Vietnam and the Viet Cong was never reached . As Lieutenant Colonel John Paul Vann noted , `` This is a political war and it calls for discriminate killing . The best weapon ... would be a knife ... The worst is an airplane . '' 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 '' . Escalation and ground War Play media Universal Newsreel film about an attack on U.S. air bases and the U.S. response , 1965 Peasants suspected of being Viet Cong under detention of U.S. army , 1966 Start of Tet Offensive as seen looking north from LZ Betty 's water tower , just south of Quang Tri City Heavily bandaged woman with a tag attached to her arm which reads `` VNC Female '' meaning Vietnamese civilian After several attacks upon them , it was decided that U.S. Air Force bases needed more protection as the South Vietnamese military seemed incapable of providing security . On 8 March 1965 , 3,500 U.S. Marines were dispatched to South Vietnam . This marked the beginning of the American ground war . U.S. public opinion overwhelmingly supported the deployment . 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 . 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 . 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 utilized hit - and - run guerrilla tactics . However , at Binh Gia , they had defeated a strong ARVN force in a conventional battle . Tellingly , South Vietnamese forces were again defeated in June 1965 at the Battle of Đồng Xoài . U.S. soldiers searching a village for Viet Cong Desertion rates were increasing , and morale plummeted . 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 ( National Front for the Liberation of South Vietnam a.k.a. the 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 . 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 . 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 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 . 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 , South Korea , Thailand , and the Philippines all agreed to send troops . 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 . Meanwhile , the political situation in South Vietnam began to stabilize 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 outmaneuvered 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 . 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 . Tet offensive Main article : Tet Offensive A US `` tunnel rat '' soldier prepares to enter a Viet Cong tunnel . In late 1967 the Communists 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 was more than willing to fight because it could unleash its massive firepower unimpeded by civilians . However , on 30 January 1968 , the NVA and the Viet Cong broke the truce that traditionally accompanied the Tết ( Lunar New Year ) holiday by launching the largest battle of the war , the Tet Offensive , in the hope of sparking a national uprising . Over 100 cities were attacked by over 85,000 enemy troops including assaults on General Westmoreland 's headquarters and the U.S. Embassy in Saigon . Although the U.S. and South Vietnamese forces were initially shocked by the scale of the urban offensive , they responded quickly and effectively , decimating the ranks of the Viet Cong . In the former capital city of Huế , the combined NVA and Viet Cong troops captured the Imperial Citadel and much of the city and massacred over 3,000 unarmed Huế civilians . 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 , members of the 1st Cavalry Division and 1st ARVN Infantry Division killed more than 900 NVA and Vietcong troops in and around the city . In Saigon , 1,000 NLF ( Viet Cong ) fighters fought off 11,000 U.S. and ARVN troops for three weeks . U.S. Marines in Operation Allen Brook in 1968 Across South Vietnam , 1,100 Americans and other allied troops , 2,100 ARVN , 14,000 civilians , and 32,000 NVA and Viet Cong lay dead . But the Tet Offensive had another , unintended consequence . General Westmoreland had become the public face of the war . He had been named Time magazine 's 1965 's Man of the Year and eventually was featured on the magazine 's cover three times . Time described him as `` the sinewy personification of the American fighting man ... ( who ) directed the historic buildup , drew up the battle plans , and infused the ... men under him with his own idealistic view of U.S. aims and responsibilities . '' Six weeks after the Tet Offensive began , `` public approval of his overall performance dropped from 48 percent to 36 percent -- and , more dramatically , endorsement for his handling of the war fell from 40 percent to 26 percent . '' U.S. Marines fighting in Huế A few months earlier , 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 . The American media , which had until then been largely supportive of U.S. efforts , turned on the Johnson administration for what had become an increasing credibility gap . Although the Tet Offensive was a significant victory for allied forces , in terms of casualties and control of territory , it was a sound defeat when evaluated from the point of view of strategic consequences : it became a turning point in America 's involvement in the Vietnam War because it had a profound impact on domestic support for the conflict . Despite the military failure for the Communist forces , the Tet Offensive became a political victory for them and ended the career of president Lyndon B. Johnson , who declined to run for re-election as his approval rating slumped from 48 to 36 percent . As James Witz noted , Tet `` contradicted the claims of progress ... made by the Johnson administration and the military '' . The offensive constituted an intelligence failure on the scale of Pearl Harbor . Journalist Peter Arnett , in a disputed article , quoted an officer he refused to identify , saying of Bến Tre ( laid to rubble by U.S. attacks ) that `` it became necessary to destroy the village in order to save it '' . Viet Cong / NVA killed by U.S. Air Force personnel during a perimeter attack of Tan Son Nhut Air Base during the Tet Offensive Walter Cronkite said in an editorial , `` To say that we are closer to victory today is to believe , in the face of the evidence , the optimists who have been wrong in the past . To suggest we are on the edge of defeat is to yield to unreasonable pessimism . To say that we are mired in stalemate seems the only realistic , yet unsatisfactory , conclusion . '' Following Cronkite 's editorial report , President Lyndon Johnson is reported to have said , `` If I 've lost Cronkite , I 've lost Middle America . '' Whether this statement was actually made by Johnson has been called into doubt . Westmoreland became Chief of Staff of the Army in March 1968 , just as all resistance was finally subdued . The move was technically a promotion . However , his position had become untenable because of the offensive and because his request for 200,000 additional troops had been leaked to the media . Westmoreland was succeeded by his deputy Creighton Abrams , a commander less inclined to public media pronouncements . On 10 May 1968 , despite low expectations , 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 . As historian Robert Dallek writes , `` Lyndon Johnson 's escalation of the war in Vietnam divided Americans into warring camps ... cost 30,000 American lives by the time he left office , ( and ) destroyed Johnson 's presidency ... '' His refusal to send more U.S. troops to Vietnam was seen as Johnson 's admission that the war was lost . In effect , Johnson found that the Vietnam War was no easier to prosecute than the Korean War , learning from experience that China was likely to intervene directly if Hanoi 's survival was threatened . Likewise , the Soviet Union would respond by providing more supplies and equipment to raise the cost for U.S. involvement , weakening their defenses in Europe and in the worse case trigger a nuclear confrontation . It can be seen that the refusal was a tacit admission that the war could not be won by escalation , at least not at a cost acceptable to the American people . 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 . Vietnamization , 1969 -- 72 Nixon Doctrine / Vietnamization Propaganda leaflet urging the defection of Viet Cong and North Vietnamese to the side of the Republic of Vietnam 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 '' . Nixon said in 1970 in an announcement , `` I am tonight announcing plans for the withdrawal of an additional 150,000 American troops to be completed during the spring of next year . This will bring a total reduction of 265,500 men in our armed forces in Vietnam below the level that existed when we took office 15 months ago . '' On 10 October 1969 , Nixon 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 . Nixon also pursued negotiations . Theater commander Creighton Abrams shifted to smaller operations , aimed at communist logistics , with better use of firepower and more cooperation with the ARVN . Nixon also began to pursue détente with the Soviet Union and rapprochement with China . This policy helped to decrease global tensions . Détente led to nuclear arms reduction on the part of both superpowers . But Nixon was disappointed that China and the Soviet Union continued to supply the North Vietnamese with aid . In September 1969 , Ho Chi Minh died at age seventy - nine . 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 . Beginning in 1970 , American troops were withdrawn from border areas where most of the fighting took place , and instead redeployed along the coast and interior , which is one reason why casualties in 1970 were less than half of 1969 's totals . Cambodia and Laos Main articles : Operation Menu , Operation Freedom Deal , Operation Commando Hunt , Laotian Civil War , Cambodian Civil War , and Operation Lam Son 719 Prince Norodom Sihanouk had proclaimed Cambodia neutral since 1955 , but the communists used Cambodian soil as a base and Sihanouk tolerated their presence , because he wished to avoid being drawn into a wider regional conflict . Under pressure from Washington , however , he changed this policy in 1969 . The Vietnamese communists were no longer welcome . President Nixon took the opportunity to launch 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 . U.S. and ARVN forces launched an invasion into Cambodia to attack NVA and Viet Cong bases . 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 . 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 . M41 Walker Bulldog , the main battle tank of the ARVN The ARVN launched Operation Lam Son 719 in February 1971 , aimed at cutting the Ho Chi Minh trail in Laos . The ostensibly neutral Laos had long been the scene of a civil war , pitting the Laotian government backed by the US against the Pathet Lao and its North Vietnamese allies . After meeting resistance , ARVN forces retreated in a confused rout . They fled along roads littered with their own dead . When they exhausted fuel supplies , soldiers abandoned their vehicles and attempted to barge their way on to American helicopters sent to evacuate the wounded . Many ARVN soldiers clung to helicopter skids in a desperate attempt to save themselves . U.S. aircraft had to destroy abandoned equipment , including tanks , to prevent them from falling into enemy hands . Half of the ARVN troops involved in the operation were either captured or killed . The operation was a fiasco and represented a clear failure of Vietnamization . As Karnow noted `` the blunders were monumental ... The ( South Vietnamese ) government 's top officers had been tutored by the Americans for ten or fifteen years , many at training schools in the United States , yet they had learned little . '' In 1971 Australia and New Zealand withdrew their soldiers . The U.S. troop count was further reduced to 196,700 , with a deadline to remove another 45,000 troops by February 1972 . As peace protests spread across the United States , disillusionment and ill - discipline grew in the ranks including increased drug use , `` fragging '' ( the act of murdering the commander of a fighting unit ) and desertions . 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 . However , it became clear that without American airpower South Vietnam could not survive . The last remaining American ground troops were withdrawn by the end of March 1973 ; U.S. naval and air forces remained in the Gulf of Tonkin , as well as Thailand and Guam . 1972 election and Paris Peace Accords The war was the central issue of the 1972 U.S. presidential election . Nixon 's opponent , George McGovern , campaigned on a platform of withdrawal from Vietnam . Nixon 's National Security Advisor , Henry Kissinger , continued secret negotiations with North Vietnam 's Lê Đức Thọ . In October 1972 , they reached an agreement . Operation Linebacker II , December 1972 However , South Vietnamese president Thieu demanded massive changes to the peace accord . When North Vietnam went public with the agreement 's details , the Nixon administration claimed that the North was attempting to embarrass the president . The negotiations became deadlocked . 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 . The offensive destroyed much of the remaining economic and industrial capacity of North Vietnam . Simultaneously Nixon pressured Thieu to accept the terms of the agreement , threatening to conclude a bilateral peace deal and cut off American aid . On 15 January 1973 , Nixon announced the suspension of offensive action against North Vietnam . The Paris Peace Accords on `` Ending the War and Restoring Peace in Vietnam '' were signed on 27 January 1973 , officially ending direct U.S. involvement in the Vietnam War . A cease - fire was declared across North and South Vietnam . U.S. prisoners of war were released . The agreement guaranteed the territorial integrity of Vietnam and , like the Geneva Conference of 1954 , called for national elections in the North and South . The Paris Peace Accords stipulated 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 . '' Opposition to U.S. involvement in the Vietnam War : 1962 -- 1973 Main article : Opposition to United States involvement in the Vietnam War Protests against the war in Washington , D.C. on 24 April 1971 Anti-Vietnam War demonstration , 1967 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 South Vietnam . 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 . It is possible to specify certain groups who led the anti-war movement 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 and drug culture in American society and its music . Some advocates within the peace movement advocated a unilateral withdrawal of U.S. forces from Vietnam . One reason given for the withdrawal is that it would contribute to a lessening of tensions in the region and thus less human bloodshed . 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 . 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 actions of Thích Quảng Đức . In a key televised debate from 15 May 1965 , Eric Severeid reporting for CBS conducted a debate between McGeorge Bundy and Hans Morgenthau dealing with an acute summary of the main war concerns of the U.S. as seen at that time stating them as : `` ( 1 ) What are the justifications for the American presence in Vietnam -- why are we there ? ( 2 ) What is the fundamental nature of this war ? Is it aggression from North Vietnam or is it basically , a civil war between the peoples of South Vietnam ? ( 3 ) What are the implications of this Vietnam struggle in terms of Communist China 's power and aims and future actions ? And ( 4 ) What are the alternatives to our present policy in Vietnam ? '' High - profile opposition to the Vietnam War turned to street protests in an effort to turn U.S. political opinion . On 15 October 1969 , the Vietnam Moratorium attracted millions of Americans . 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 . The fatal shooting of four students at Kent State University in 1970 led to nationwide university protests . Anti-war protests ended with the final withdrawal of troops after the Paris Peace Accords were signed in 1973 . South Vietnam was left to defend itself alone when the fighting resumed . Many South Vietnamese subsequently fled to the United States . Exit of the Americans : 1973 -- 75 The United States began drastically reducing their troop support in South Vietnam during the final years of Vietnamization . Many U.S. troops were removed from the region , and on 5 March 1971 , the United States returned the 5th Special Forces Group , which was the first American unit deployed to South Vietnam , to its former base in Fort Bragg , North Carolina . Under the Paris Peace Accords , between North Vietnamese Foreign Minister Lê Đức Thọ and U.S. Secretary of State Henry Kissinger , and reluctantly signed by South Vietnamese president Thiệu , U.S. military forces withdrew from South Vietnam and prisoners were exchanged . North Vietnam was allowed to continue supplying communist troops in the South , but only to the extent of replacing expended materiel . Later that year the Nobel Peace Prize was awarded to Kissinger and Thọ , but the Vietnamese negotiator declined it saying that a true peace did not yet exist . The communist 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 . As the Viet Cong 's top commander , Tra participated in several of these meetings . 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 the 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 . Calling for immediate withdrawal of U.S. forces from Vietnam , George McGovern 's 1972 Presidential Campaign lost 49 of 50 states to Richard Nixon . In the November 1972 Election , Democratic nominee George McGovern lost 49 of 50 states to the incumbent President Richard Nixon . On 15 March 1973 , President Nixon implied the United States would intervene militarily if the communist side violated the ceasefire . Public and congressional reaction to Nixon 's trial balloon was unfavorable and in April Nixon appointed Graham Martin as U.S. ambassador to South Vietnam . During his confirmation hearings in June 1973 , Secretary of Defense James R. Schlesinger stated he would recommend resumption of U.S. bombing in North Vietnam if North Vietnam launched a major offensive against South Vietnam . On 4 June 1973 , the U.S. Senate passed the Case -- Church Amendment to prohibit such intervention . The oil price shock of October 1973 following the Yom Kippur War in Egypt caused significant damage to the South Vietnamese economy . The Viet Cong resumed offensive operations when the dry season began and by January 1974 it recaptured the territory it lost during the previous dry season . After two clashes that left 55 South Vietnamese soldiers dead , President Thieu announced on 4 January that the war had restarted and that the Paris Peace Accord was no longer in effect . There were over 25,000 South Vietnamese casualties during the ceasefire period . Gerald Ford took over as U.S. president on 9 August 1974 after President Nixon resigned due to the Watergate scandal . At this time , Congress cut financial aid to South Vietnam from $1 billion a year to $700 million . The U.S. midterm elections in 1974 brought in a new Congress dominated by Democrats who were even more determined to confront the president on the war . Congress immediately voted in restrictions on funding and military activities to be phased in through 1975 and to culminate in a total cutoff of funding in 1976 . The success of the 1973 -- 74 dry season offensive inspired Trà to return to Hanoi in October 1974 and plead for a larger offensive in 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 defense minister , was reluctant to approve Trà 's plan . A larger offensive might provoke a 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 to the fray . Recently released American POWs from North Vietnamese prison camps , 1973 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 . '' At the start of 1975 , the South Vietnamese had three times as much artillery and twice the number of tanks and armored 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 . They faced a well - organized , highly determined and well - funded North Vietnam . Much of the North 's material and financial support came from the communist bloc . Within South Vietnam , there was increasing chaos . The departure of the American military had compromised an economy dependent on U.S. financial support and the presence of a large number of U.S. troops . South Vietnam suffered from the global recession that followed the Arab oil embargo . Campaign 275 See also : 1975 Spring Offensive , Battle of Ban Me Thuot , and Hue -- Da Nang Campaign Captured U.S. - supplied armored vehicles and artillery pieces . 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 . The president declared this to be a `` lighten the top and keep the bottom '' strategy . But in what appeared to be a repeat of Operation Lam Son 719 , the withdrawal 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 '' . As the ARVN tried to disengage from the enemy , refugees mixed with the line of retreat . The poor condition of roads and bridges , damaged by years of conflict and neglect , slowed Phu 's column . As the North Vietnamese forces approached , panic set in . Often abandoned by the officers , the soldiers and civilians were shelled incessantly . The retreat degenerated into a desperate scramble for the coast . By 1 April the `` column of tears '' was all but annihilated . 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 . Thieu 's contradictory orders confused and demoralized his officer corps . 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 . Some even swam out to sea to reach boats and barges anchored offshore . In the confusion , routed ARVN soldiers fired on civilians to make way for their retreat . On 25 March , after a three - day battle , Huế fell . 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 For more details on the final North Vietnamese offensive , see Ho Chi Minh Campaign . Captured South Vietnamese warplanes in Ho Chi Minh City 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 . The North Vietnamese met fierce resistance at Xuân Lộc from the ARVN 18th Division , who were outnumbered six to one . 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 . At the same time , North Vietnamese tanks had reached Biên Hòa and turned toward Saigon , brushing aside isolated ARVN units along the way . 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 . Fall of Saigon Main article : Fall of Saigon Further information : Operation Frequent Wind Victorious NVA troops at the Presidential Palace , Saigon 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 . 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 . In the United States , South Vietnam was perceived as doomed . 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 . Other countries ' involvement Pro-hanoi Ho Chi Minh with East German sailors in Stralsund harbour , 1957 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 People 's Republic of China In 1950 , the People 's Republic of China extended diplomatic recognition to the Viet Minh 's Democratic Republic of Vietnam and sent weapons , as well as military advisers led by Luo Guibo to assist the Viet Minh in its war with the French . The first draft of the 1954 Geneva Accords was negotiated by French prime minister Pierre Mendès France and Chinese Premier Zhou Enlai who , fearing U.S. intervention , urged the Viet Minh to accept a partition at the 17th parallel . China 's support for North Vietnam 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 warning 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 . 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 . 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 . 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 . North Korea also sent weapons , ammunition and two million sets of uniforms to their comrades in North Vietnam . Kim Il - sung is reported to have told his pilots to `` fight in the war as if the Vietnamese sky were their own '' . Cuba The contribution to North Vietnam by the Republic of Cuba , under Fidel Castro have been recognized several times by representatives of the Democratic Republic of Vietnam . Fidel 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 , in what is known as the `` Cuba Program '' . 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 . Benjamin Gilman , a Vietnam War POW / MIA issue advocate , claim evidence that Cuba 's military and non-military involvement may have run into the `` thousands '' of personnel . Fidel Castro visited in person Quảng Trị province , held by North Vietnam after the Easter Offensive to show his support for the Viet Cong . Pro-Saigon South Korea Main article : Military history of South Korea during the Vietnam War Soldiers of the South Korean White Horse Division in Vietnam Vietnamese civilians of Phong Nhi village massacred by South Korean Blue Dragon Brigade in 1968 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 , Park Chung - hee proposed South Korean participation in the war to John F. Kennedy , but Kennedy disagreed . On 1 May 1964 Lyndon Johnson requested South Korean participation . 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 . The South Koreans soon developed a reputation for effectiveness , reportedly conducting counterinsurgency operations so well that American commanders felt that the South Korean area of responsibility was the safest . 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 fighters . 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 . 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 . 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 . 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 . Thailand See also : Laotian Civil War The Thai Queen 's Cobra battalion in Phuoc Tho Thai Army formations , including the `` Queen 's Cobra '' battalion , 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 . Republic of China ( Taiwan ) Main article : Republic of China in the Vietnam War Since November 1967 , the Taiwanese government 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 . In addition to the diving trainers there were several hundred military personnel . Military commandos from Taiwan were captured by communist forces three times trying to infiltrate North Vietnam . Brazil The Brazilian government of President Castelo Branco 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 ( two other Latin American countries -- Nicaragua and Paraguay -- offered to send military forces in support of the United States , but their offers were declined ) . 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 '' . Victor Levant suggested otherwise in his book Quiet Complicity : Canadian Involvement in the Vietnam War ( 1986 ) . 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 Christian Montagnards ( Degar ) , Hindu and Muslim Cham and the Buddhist Khmer Krom banded together in the United Front for the Liberation of Oppressed Races ( French : Front Uni de Lutte des Races Opprimées , acronym : FULRO ) to fight against the Vietnamese for autonomy or independence . FULRO fought against both the anti-Communist South Vietnamese and the Communist Viet Cong , and then FURLO proceeded to fight against the united Communist Socialist Republic of Vietnam after the fall of South Vietnam . FULRO was supported by China , the United States , Cambodia , and some French citizens . 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 . 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 . FULRO was formed from the amalgation of the Cham organization `` Champa Liberation Front '' ( Front de Liberation du Champa FLC ) led by the Cham Muslim officer Les Kosem who served in the Royal Cambodian Army , the Khmer Krom organization `` Liberation Front of Kampuchea Krom '' ( Front de Liberation du Kampuchea Krom FLKK ) led by Chau Dara , a former monk , and the Montagnard organizations `` Central Highlands Liberation Front '' ( Front de Liberation des Hauts Plateaux FLHP ) led by Y Bham Enuol and BAJARAKA . The leaders of FULRO were executed by the Khmer Rouge leader Pol Pot when he took power in Cambodia but FULRO insurgents proceeded to fight against the Vietnamese occupation of Cambodia and it was not until 1992 that they finally surrendered to the United Nations in Cambodia . War crimes Victims of the My Lai massacre Main articles : List of war crimes § 1954 -- 1975 : Vietnam War , and Vietnam War casualties See also : List of massacres in Vietnam 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 Main articles : Tiger Force and Vietnam War Crimes Working Group 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 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 . The investigation compiled over 9,000 pages of investigative files , sworn statements by witnesses and status reports for top military officers , indicating that 320 incidents had 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 US soldiers torturing civilian detainees or prisoners of war with fists , sticks , bats , water or electric shock . Over 800 alleged atrocities were investigated , but only 23 soldiers were ever convicted on charges and most served sentences of less than a year . A Los Angeles Times report on the archived files concluded that the war crimes were not confined to a few rogue units , having been uncovered in every army division that was active in Vietnam . 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 . In 2003 , a series of investigative reports by the Toledo Blade uncovered a large number of unreported American war crimes , particularly from the Tiger Force unit . The war involved 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 '' . Cases of indiscriminate attacks against civilians within free - fire zones resulting from unsuccessful forced evacuations were frequent . According to political scientist R.J. Rummel , U.S. troops murdered about 6,000 Vietnamese civilians during the 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 an estimated 5,000 civilians may have been killed during six months of the operation . In terms of atrocities by the South Vietnamese , during the Diem era ( 1954 -- 1963 ) R.J. Rummel estimated that 16,000 to 167,000 South Vietnamese civilians were killed in democide ; for 1964 to 1975 , Rummel estimated a total of 42,000 to 128,000 killed in democide . Thus , the total for 1954 to 1975 is from 57,000 to 284,000 deaths caused by South Vietnam , excluding NLF / North Vietnamese forces killed by the South Vietnamese armed forces . 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 . Red Cross reports after the war showed connections of U.S. advisors with the torture at POW camps . 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 purportedly 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 . North Vietnamese , Viet Cong , and Khmer Rouge War crimes Main article : Viet Cong and PAVN strategy , organization and structure § VC / NVA use of terror Victims of the Huế Massacre According to Guenter Lewy , the Viet Cong assassinated about 36,725 South Vietnamese between 1957 and 1972 . 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 . '' 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 '' . Notable Viet Cong atrocities include the massacre of over 3,000 unarmed civilians at Huế during the Tet Offensive and the incineration of hundreds of civilians at the Đắk Sơn massacre with flamethrowers . Up to 155,000 refugees fleeing the final North Vietnamese Spring Offensive were killed or abducted on the road to Tuy Hòa in 1975 . According to Rummel , North Vietnamese and Viet Cong troops murdered between 106,000 and 227,000 civilians in South Vietnam . North Vietnam was also known for its inhumane and abusive treatment of American POWs , most notably in Hỏa Lò Prison ( aka the Hanoi Hilton ) , where severe torture was employed to extract `` confessions '' . According to a U.S. Senate report , squads were assigned monthly assassination quotas . Peer De Silva , former head of the Saigon department of the CIA , wrote that from as early as 1963 , Viet Cong units were using disembowelment and other methods of mutilation for the purpose of waging psychological warfare . In the Cambodian Civil War , Khmer Rouge insurgents reportedly committed atrocities during the war . These include the murder of civilians and POWs by slowly sawing off their heads a little more each day , the destruction of Buddhist wats and the killing of monks , attacks on refugee camps involving the deliberate murder of babies and bomb threats against foreign aid workers , the abduction and assassination of journalists , and the shelling of Phnom Penh for more than a year . Journalist accounts stated that the Khmer Rouge shelling `` tortured the capital almost continuously '' , inflicting `` random death and mutilation '' on 2 million trapped civilians . The Khmer Rouge forcibly evacuated the entire city after taking it , in what has been described as a death march : François Ponchaud wrote : `` I shall never forget one cripple who had neither hands nor feet , writhing along the ground like a severed worm , or a weeping father carrying his ten - year old daughter wrapped in a sheet tied around his neck like a sling , or the man with his foot dangling at the end of a leg to which it was attached by nothing but skin '' ; John Swain recalled that the Khmer Rouge were `` tipping out patients from the hospitals like garbage into the streets ... In five years of war , this is the greatest caravan of human misery I have seen . '' 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 . Most nurses who volunteered to serve in Vietnam came from predominantly working or middle - class families with histories of military service . The majority of these women were white Catholics and Protestants . Because the need for medical aid was great , many nurses underwent a concentrated four - month training program before being deployed to Vietnam in the ANC . Due to the shortage of staff , nurses usually worked twelve - hour shifts , six days per week and often suffered from exhaustion . 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 At the start of the Vietnam War , it was commonly thought that American women had no place in the military . Their traditional place had been in the domestic sphere , but with the war came opportunity for the expansion of gender roles . In Vietnam , women held a variety of jobs which included operating complex data processing equipment and serving as stenographers . 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 . While this high male to female ratio was often uncomfortable for women , many men reported that having women in the field with them boosted their morale . Although this was not the women 's purpose , it was one positive result of their service . By 1973 , approximately 7,500 women had served in Vietnam in the Southeast Asian theater . In that same year , the military lifted the prohibition on women entering the armed forces . American women serving in Vietnam were subject to societal stereotypes . Many Americans either considered females serving in Vietnam masculine for living under the army discipline , or judged them to be women of questionable moral character who enlisted for the sole purpose of seducing men . To address this problem , the ANC released advertisements portraying women in the ANC as `` proper , professional and well protected . '' ( 26 ) This effort to highlight the positive aspects of a nursing career reflected the ideas of second - wave feminism that occurred during 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 . Vietnamese women Master - Sergeant and pharmacist Do Thi Trinh , part of the WAFC , supplying medication to ARVN dependents Unlike the American women who went to Vietnam , North Vietnamese women were enlisted and fought in the combat zone as well as providing manual labor to keep the Ho Chi Minh trail open and cook for the soldiers . They also worked in the rice fields in North Vietnam and Viet Cong - held farming areas in South Vietnam 's Mekong Delta region to provide food for their families and the war effort . Women were enlisted in both the North Vietnamese Army ( NVA ) and the Viet Cong guerrilla insurgent force in South Vietnam . Some women also served for the North Vietnamese and Viet Cong intelligence services . 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 . 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 . Black servicemen in Vietnam See also : African - American Civil Rights Movement ( 1954 -- 1968 ) 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 . The epigraph of Terry 's book Bloods : An Oral History of the Vietnam War by Black Veterans ( 1984 ) , includes the following quote : `` I have an intuitive feeling that the Negro serviceman have a better understanding than whites of what the war is about . '' -- General William C. Westmoreland , U.S. Army , Saigon , 1967 . That book 's introduction 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 . Upon the war 's completion , black casualties made up 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 Marines complete construction of M101 howitzer positions at a mountain - top fire support base , 1968 The communist forces were principally armed with Chinese and Soviet weaponry though some guerrilla units were equipped with Western infantry weapons either captured from French stocks during the First Indochina war or from ARVN units or bought on the black market . The ubiquitous Soviet AK - 47 assault rifle was often regarded as the best rifle of the war , due to its ability to continue to function even in adverse , muddy conditions . Other weapons used by the Viet Cong included the World War II - era PPSh - 41 submachine gun ( both Soviet and Chinese versions ) , the SKS carbine , the RPD light machine gun , the DShK heavy machine gun and the RPG - 2 / B - 40 grenade launcher . While the Viet Cong had both amphibious tanks ( such as the PT - 76 ) and light tanks ( such as the Type 62 ) , they also used bicycles to transport munitions . The US ' heavily armored , 90 mm M48A3 Patton tank saw extensive action during the Vietnam War and over 600 were deployed with US Forces . They played an important role in infantry support . The US service rifle was initially the M14 ( though some units were still using the WWII - era M1 Garand for a lack of M14s ) . Found to be unsuitable for jungle warfare , the M14 was replaced by M16 which was more accurate and lighter than the AK - 47 . For a period , the gun suffered from a jamming flaw known as `` failure to extract '' , which means that a spent cartridge case remained lodged in the action after a round is fired . According to a congressional report , the jamming was caused primarily by a change in gunpowder which was done without adequate 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 chamber among several other features . End - user satisfaction with the M16 was high except during this episode , but the M16 still has a reputation as a gun that jams easily . The M60 machine gun GPMG ( General Purpose 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 when landing in hostile regions . The MAC - 10 machine pistol was supplied to many special forces troops in the midpoint of the war . It also armed many CIA agents in the field . 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 ; it was used to provide close air support , air interdiction and force protection . The AC - 130H `` Spectre '' was armed with two 20 mm M61 Vulcan cannons , one Bofors 40mm autocannon , and one 105 mm M102 howitzer . The Huey is a military helicopter powered by a single , turboshaft engine , with a two - bladed main rotor and tail rotor . Approximately 7,000 UH - 1 aircraft saw service in Vietnam . The Claymore M18A1 , an anti-personnel mine , was widely used during the war . Unlike a conventional land mine , the Claymore is command - detonated and directional , meaning it is fired by remote - control and shoots a pattern of 700 one - eighth - inch steel balls into the kill zone like a shotgun . The aircraft ordnance used during the war included precision - guided munition , cluster bombs , and napalm , a thickening / gelling agent generally mixed with petroleum or a similar fuel for use in an incendiary device , initially against buildings and later primarily as an anti-personnel weapon that sticks to skin and can burn down to the bone . Radio communications 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. bombing Bombs being dropped by the B - 52 Stratofortress long - range strategic bomber See also : Operation Rolling Thunder , Operation Menu , Operation Freedom Deal , and CIA activities in Laos 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 . '' 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 . 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 end of the war , up to 300,000 South Vietnamese were sent to reeducation camps ( not including `` dissidents detained in the many prisons of Vietnam '' ) , where many endured torture , starvation , and disease while being forced to perform hard labor . In addition , 200,000 to 400,000 Vietnamese boat people died at sea , according to the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees . Phnom Penh , the capital of Cambodia , fell to the communist 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 . An estimated 1,386,734 victims of execution have been counted in mass graves , while demographic analysis suggests that the policies of the regime caused between 1.7 and 2.5 million excess deaths altogether ( including disease and starvation ) . After repeated border clashes in 1978 , Vietnam invaded Democratic Kampuchea ( Cambodia ) and ousted 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 devastating impact of Khmer Rouge rule contributed to a 1979 famine in Cambodia , during which an additional 300,000 Cambodians perished . 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 . 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 . '' In 1988 , Vietnam suffered a famine that afflicted millions . Vietnam retained its pro-Soviet orientation after the war and remained an important ally of the USSR in the region . Agent Orange and similar chemical substances used by the U.S. have also caused a considerable number of deaths and injuries over the years , including the US Air Force crew that handled them . On 9 August 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 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 Vietnam War protests at the Pentagon , October 1967 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 . Some have suggested that `` the responsibility for the ultimate failure of this policy ( America 's withdrawal from Vietnam ) lies not with the men who fought , but with those in Congress ... '' Alternatively , 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 ... The ... Vietnam War ... legacy may be the lesson that unique historical , political , cultural , and social factors always impinge on the military ... Success rests not only on military progress but on correctly analyzing 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 . '' A young Marine private waits on the beach during the Marine landing , Da Nang , 3 August 1965 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 . '' Secretary of Defense Robert McNamara concluded that `` the achievement of a military victory by U.S. forces in Vietnam was indeed a dangerous illusion . '' Doubts surfaced as to the effectiveness of large - scale , sustained bombing . 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 . '' The inability to bring Hanoi to the bargaining table by bombing also illustrated another U.S. miscalculation . The North 's leadership was composed of hardened communists who had been fighting for thirty years . They had defeated the French , and their tenacity as both nationalists and communists was formidable . Ho Chi Minh is quoted as saying , `` You can kill ten of my men for every one I kill of yours ... But even at these odds you will lose and I will win . '' Marine gets his wounds treated during operations in Huế City , 1968 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 . Between 1953 and 1975 , the United States spent $168 billion on the war ( $1.02 trillion in FY2015 dollars ) . This resulted in a large federal budget deficit . 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 . 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 . 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 . 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 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 battleworthiness 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 US Army recorded more than 700 attacks by troops on their own officers . Eighty - three officers were killed and almost 650 were injured . 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 . '' 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 by - product 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 US 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 . 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 . 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 52,000 to 182,000 . 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 . The official US Department of Defense figure was 950,765 communist 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 communist military forces was probably closer to 444,000 . It was difficult to distinguish between civilians and military personnel on the Viet Cong side as many persons were part - time guerrillas or impressed laborers who did not wear uniforms . A detailed demographic study calculated 791,000 -- 1,141,000 war - related deaths for all of Vietnam . According to figures released by the Vietnamese government in 1995 , there were 1,100,000 North Vietnamese Army and Viet Cong military personnel deaths during the Vietnam War ( including the missing ) . The Vietnamese government released its estimate of war deaths for the more lengthy period of 1955 to 1975 . According to the Vietnamese , Communist battle deaths totaled 1.1 million and civilian deaths of Vietnamese totaled 2.0 million . These estimates probably include battle deaths of Vietnamese soldiers in Laos and Cambodia , but do not include deaths of South Vietnamese and allied soldiers which would add nearly 300,000 for a grand total of 3.4 million military and civilian dead . Between 240,000 and 300,000 Cambodians died during the war . 20,000 - 62,000 Laotians also died , and 58,222 U.S. military personnel were killed , of which 1,596 are still listed as missing as of 2015 . 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 . In popular culture See also : Vietnam War in film , Vietnam War in games , and War in popular culture The Vietnam War has been featured extensively in television , film , video games , and literature in the participant countries . 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 ) , 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 . 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 a proclamantion 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 .

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 . ^ Jump up to : Weil , Thomas E. et . al.

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 .

ISBN 9780833047540 . 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 .

"Beginning in 1950, American military advisors arrived in what was then French Indochina.[63][A 3] Most of the funding for the French war effort was provided by the U.S.[64] U.S. involvement escalated in the early 1960s, with troop levels tripling in 1961 and again in 1962.[65] U.S. involvement escalated further following the 1964 Gulf of Tonkin incident, in which a U.S. destroyer clashed with North Vietnamese fast attack craft, which was followed by the Gulf of Tonkin Resolution, which gave the U.S. president authorization to increase U.S. military presence. Regular U.S. combat units were deployed beginning in 1965. 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 as American involvement in the war peaked in 1968, the same year that the communist side launched the Tet Offensive. The Tet Offensive failed in its goal of overthrowing the South Vietnamese government, but became the turning point in the war, as it persuaded a large segment of the U.S. population that its government's claims of progress toward winning the war were illusory despite many years of massive U.S. military aid to South Vietnam."

The era followed the Georgian period and preceded the Edwardian period , and its later half overlaps with the first part of the Belle Époque era of France and continental Europe . In terms of moral sensibilities and political reforms , period began with the passage of the Reform Act 1832 . There was a strong religious drive for higher moral standards led by the nonconformist churches , such as the Methodist , and the Evangelical wing of the established Church of England . Moral standards improved very dramatically , especially for the middle class . The period was peaceful among the Great Powers , with only one mid-sized international war . Britain enjoyed strong naval superiority , leadership worldwide in manufacturing , finance , railways , shipping , and entrepreneurship . Britain embarked on global imperial expansion , particularly in Asia and Africa , which made the British Empire the largest empire in history . National self - confidence peaked . Ideologically , the Victorian era witnessed resistance to the rationalism that defined the Georgian period and an increasing turn towards romanticism and even mysticism with regard to religion , social values , and arts . Domestically , the political agenda was increasingly liberal , with a number of shifts in the direction of gradual political reform , industrial reform , and the widening of the franchise . There were unprecedented demographic changes : the population of England and Wales almost doubled from 16.8 million in 1851 to 30.5 million in 1901 , and Scotland 's population also rose rapidly , from 2.8 million in 1851 to 4.4 million in 1901 . However , Ireland 's population decreased sharply , from 8.2 million in 1841 to less than 4.5 million in 1901 , mostly due to emigration and the Great Famine . Between 1837 and 1901 about 15 million emigrated from Great Britain , mostly to the United States , Canada , South Africa , New Zealand , and Australia . The two main political parties during the era remained the Whigs / Liberals and the Conservatives ; by its end , the Labour Party had formed as a distinct political entity . These parties were led by such prominent statesmen as Lord Melbourne , Sir Robert Peel , Lord Derby , Lord Palmerston , Benjamin Disraeli , William Gladstone , and Lord Salisbury . The unsolved problems relating to Irish Home Rule played a great part in politics in the later Victorian era , particularly in view of Gladstone 's determination to achieve a political settlement in Ireland .

Her reign lasted for 63 years and seven months , a longer period than any of her predecessors . The term ' Victorian ' was in contemporaneous usage to describe the era . The era has also been understood more extensively as a period that possessed sensibilities and characteristics distinct from those adjacent , in which case it is sometimes dated to begin before Victoria 's accession -- typically from the passage of or agitation for ( during the 1830s ) the Reform Act 1832 , which introduced a wide - ranging change to the electoral system of England and Wales . Definitions according to a distinct sensibility or politics have also created scepticisim about the worth of the label `` Victorian '' , though there have equally been defences of it as a marker of time . Michael Sadleir was insistent that `` in truth the Victorian period is three periods , and not one '' . He distinguished early Victorianism -- the socially and politically unsettled period from 1837 -- 1850 -- and late Victorianism ( from 1880 onwards ) , with its new waves of Aestheticism and Imperialism , from the Victorian heyday : mid-Victorianism , 1851 to 1879 . He saw the latter period as characterised by a distinctive mixture of prosperity , domestic prudery , and complacency -- what G.M. Trevelyan similarly called the `` mid-Victorian decades of quiet politics and roaring prosperity '' . Political and diplomatic History Main articles : United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland and International relations of the Great Powers ( 1814 -- 1919 ) Early In 1832 , after much political agitation , the Reform Act was passed on the third attempt . The Act abolished many borough seats and created others in their place , as well as expanding the franchise in England and Wales ( a Scottish Reform Act and Irish Reform Act were passed separately ) . Minor reforms followed in 1835 and 1836 . The East India Company steamship Nemesis ( right background ) destroying Chinese war junks in the Second Battle of Chuenpi on 7 January 1841 during the First Opium War between Britain and the Qing dynasty . On 20 June 1837 , Victoria became Queen of the United Kingdom on the death of her uncle , William IV . Her government was led by the Whig prime minister Lord Melbourne , but within two years he had resigned , and the Tory politician Sir Robert Peel attempted to form a new ministry . In the same year , a seizure of British opium exports to China prompted the First Opium War against the Qing dynasty , and British imperial India initiated the First Anglo - Afghan War -- one of the first major conflicts of the Great Game between Britain and Russia . In 1840 , Queen Victoria married her German cousin Prince Albert of Saxe - Coburg - Saalfield . It proved a very happy marriage , whose children were much sought after by royal families across Europe . In 1840 the Treaty of Waitangi established British sovereignty over New Zealand . The signing of the Treaty of Nanking in 1842 ended the First Opium War and gave Britain control over Hong Kong Island . However , a disastrous retreat from Kabul in the same year led to the annihilation of a British army column in Afghanistan . In 1845 , the Great Famine began to cause mass starvation , disease and death in Ireland , sparking large - scale emigration ; To allow more cheap food into Ireland , the Peel government repealed the Corn Laws . Peel was replaced by the Whig ministry of Lord John Russell . In 1853 , Britain fought alongside France in the Crimean War against Russia . The goal was to ensure that Russia could not benefit from the declining status of the Ottoman Empire , a strategic consideration known as the Eastern Question . The conflict marked a rare breach in the Pax Britannica , the period of relative peace ( 1815 -- 1914 ) that existed among the Great Powers of the time , and especially in Britain 's interaction with them . On its conclusion in 1856 with the Treaty of Paris , Russia was prohibited from hosting a military presence in the Crimea . In October of the same year , the Second Opium War saw Britain overpower the Qing dynasty in China . During 1857 -- 8 , an uprising by sepoys against the East India Company was suppressed , an event that led to the end of Company rule in India and the transferral of administration to direct rule by the British government . The princely states were not affected and remained under British guidance . Middle In 1861 , Prince Albert died . In 1867 , the second Reform Act was passed , expanding the franchise , and the British North America Act consolidated the country 's possessions in that region into a Canadian Confederation . In 1878 , Britain was a plenipotentiary at the Treaty of Berlin , which gave de jure recognition to the independent states of Romania , Serbia , and Montenegro . Society and Culture Evangelicals , utilitarians and reform The central feature of Victorian era politics is the search for reform and improvement , including both the individual personality and the society . Three powerful forces were at work . First was the rapid rise of the middle class , in large part displacing the complete control long exercised by the aristocracy . Respectability was their code -- a businessman had to be trusted , and must avoid reckless gambling and heavy drinking . Second the spiritual reform closely linked to evangelical Christianity , including both the Nonconformist sects , such as the Methodists , and especially the evangelical or Low Church element in the established Church of England , typified by Lord Shaftesbury ( 1801 -- 1885 ) . It imposed fresh moralistic values on society , such as Sabbath observance , responsibility , charitably charity , discipline in the home , and self - examination for the smallest faults and needs of improvement . Starting with the anti-slavery movement of the 1790s , the evangelical moralize or is developed highly effective techniques of training family members , and reaching the public at large through intense , very well organized agitation and propaganda , focused on exciting a personal revulsion against social evils and personal misbehavior . The third effect came from the philosophical utilitarians , led by Jeremy Bentham ( 1748 -- 1832 ) , James Mill ( 1773 -- 1836 ) and his son John Stuart Mill ( 1806 -- 1873 ) . They were not moralistic but scientific . Their movement , often called `` Philosophic Radicalism , '' fashioned a formula for promoting the magic goal of `` progress '' using scientific rationality , and businesslike efficiency , to identify , measure , and discover solutions to social problems . The formula was inquiry , legislation , execution , inspection , and report . In public affairs , their leading exponent was Edwin Chadwick ( 1800 -- 1890 ) . Evangelicals and utilitarians shared a basic middle - class ethic of responsibility , and formed a political alliance . The result was an irresistible force for reform . Social reforms focused on ending slavery , removing the slavery - like burdens on women and children , and reforming the police in order to prevent crime , rather than emphasizing the very harsh punishment of criminals . Even more important were a host of political reforms , especially the lifting the disabilities on nonconformists and Roman Catholics , and above all , the reform of Parliament and elections to introduce democracy and replace the old system whereby senior aristocrats controlled dozens of seats in parliament . Religion Religion was a battleground during this era , with the Nonconformists fighting bitterly against the established status of the Church of England , especially regarding education and access to universities and public office . Penalties on Roman Catholics were mostly removed . The Vatican restored the English Catholic bishoprics in 1850 and numbers grew through conversions and immigration from Ireland . Secularism and doubts about the accuracy of the Old Testament grew as the scientific outlooked rapidly gained ground among the better educated . Walter E. Houghton argues , `` Perhaps the most important development in 19th - century intellectual history was the extension of scientific assumptions and methods from the physical world to the whole life of man . '' Status of Nonconformist churches Nonconformist conscience describes the moral sensibility of the Nonconformist churches -- those which dissent from the established Church of England -- that influenced British politics in the 19th and early 20th centuries . In the 1851 census of church attendance , noncomformists who went to chapel comprised half the attendance of Sunday services . Noncomformists were focused in the fast - growing urban middle class . The two categories of this group were in addition to the evangelicals or `` Low Church '' element in the Church of England : `` Old Dissenters , '' dating from the 16th and 17th centuries , included Baptists , Congregationalists , Quakers , Unitarians , and Presbyterians outside Scotland ; `` New Dissenters '' emerged in the 18th century and were mainly Methodists . The `` Nonconformist conscience '' of the Old group emphasised religious freedom and equality , the pursuit of justice , and opposition to discrimination , compulsion , and coercion . The New Dissenters ( and also the Anglican evangelicals ) stressed personal morality issues , including sexuality , temperance , family values , and Sabbath - keeping . Both factions were politically active , but until the mid-19th century , the Old group supported mostly Whigs and Liberals in politics , while the New -- like most Anglicans -- generally supported Conservatives . In the late 19th century , the New Dissenters mostly switched to the Liberal Party . The result was a merging of the two groups , strengthening their great weight as a political pressure group . They joined together on new issues especially regarding schools and temperance , with the latter of special interest to Methodists . By 1914 the linkage was weakening and by the 1920s it was virtually dead . Parliament had long imposed a series of political disabilities on Nonconformists outside Scotland . They could not hold most public offices , they had to pay local taxes to the Anglican church , be married by Anglican ministers , and be denied attendance at Oxford or degrees at Cambridge . Dissenters demanded the removal of political and civil disabilities that applied to them ( especially those in the Test and Corporation Acts ) . The Anglican establishment strongly resisted until 1828 . Disseneters organized into a political pressure group and succeeded in 1828 in repeal of some restrictions . It was a major achievement for an outside group , but the Dissenters were not finished and the early Victorian period saw them even more active and successful in eliminating their grievances . Next on the agenda was the matter of church rates , which were local taxes at the parish level for the support of the parish church building in England and Wales . Only buildings of the established church received the tax money . Civil disobedience was attempted but was met with the seizure of personal property and even imprisonment . The compulsory factor was finally abolished in 1868 by William Ewart Gladstone , and payment was made voluntary . While Gladstone was a moralistic evangelical inside the Church of England , he had strong support in the Nonconformist community . The Marriage Act 1836 allowed local government registrars to handle marriages . Nonconformist ministers in their own chapels were allowed to marry couples if a registrar was present . Also in 1836 , civil registration of births , deaths , and marriages was taken from the hands of local parish officials and given to local government registrars . Burial of the dead was a more troubling problem , for urban chapels had no graveyards , and Nonconformists sought to use the traditional graveyards controlled by the established church . The Burial Laws Amendment Act 1880 finally allowed that . Oxford University required students seeking admission to subscribe to the 39 Articles of the Church of England . Cambridge required that for a diploma . The two ancient universities opposed giving a charter to the new University of London in the 1830s because it had no such restriction . The university , nevertheless , was established in 1837 , and by the 1850s Oxford dropped its restrictions . In 1871 Gladstone sponsored the Universities Tests Act 1871 that provided full access to degrees and fellowships . Nonconformists ( especially Unitarians and Presbyterians ) played major roles in founding new universities in the late 19th century at Manchester , as well as Birmingham , Liverpool and Leeds . Agnostics and freethinkers The abstract theological or philosophical doctrine of agnosticism , whereby it is theoretically impossible to prove whether or not God exists , suddenly became a popular issue around 1869 , when T.H. Huxley coined the term . It was much discussed for several decades , and had its own journal edited by William Stewart Ross ( 1844 -- 1906 ) the Agnostic Journal and Eclectic Review . Interest petered out by the 1890s , and when Ross died the Journal soon closed . Ross championed agnosticism in opposition not so much to Christianity , but to atheism , as expounded by Charles Bradlaugh The term `` atheism '' never became popular . Blasphemy laws meant that promoting atheism could be a crime and was vigorously prosecuted . The Oracle of Reason , or Philosophy Vindicated an explicitly atheistic periodical . Editor Charles Southwell were imprisoned for blasphemy . Disbelievers call themselves ' freethinkers ' or ' secularists . ' They included John Stuart Mill , Thomas Carlyle , George Eliot , and Matthew Arnold . They were not necessarily hostile to Christianity , as Huxley repeatedly emphasized . The literary figures were caught in something of a trap -- their business was writing and their theology said there was nothing for certain to write . They instead concentrated on the argument that it was not necessary to believe in God in order to behave in moral fashion . The scientists , on the other hand , paid less attention to theology and more attention to the exciting issues raised by Charles Darwin in terms of evolution . The proof of God 's existence that said he had to exist in order to have a marvelously complex world was no longer satisfactory when biology demonstrated that complexity could arise through evolution . Women and gender Further information : Separate spheres The emerging middle - class norm for women was Separate spheres , whereby women avoid the public sphere -- the domain of politics , paid work , commerce and public speaking . Instead they should dominate in the realm of domestic life , focused on care of the family , the husband , the children , the household , religion , and moral behaviour . Religiosity was in the female sphere , and the Nonconformist churches offered new roles that women eagerly entered . They taught in Sunday schools , visited the poor and sick , distributed tracts , engaged in fundraising , supported missionaries , led Methodist class meetings , prayed with other women , and a few were allowed to preach to mixed audiences . The long 1854 poem `` The Angel in the House '' by Coventry Patmore ( 1823 -- 1896 ) exemplified the idealized Victorian woman who is angelically pure and devoted to her family and home . The poem was not pure invention , but reflected the emerging legal economic social , cultural , religious and moral values of the Victorian middle - class . Legally women had limited rights to their own bodies , the family property , or their children . The recognized identities were those of daughter , wife , mother , and widow . Rapid growth and prosperity meant that fewer women had to find paid employment , and even when the husband owned a shop or small business , the wife 's participation was less necessary . Meanwhile the home sphere grew dramatically in size ; women spent the money and decided on the furniture , clothing , food , schooling , and outward appearance the family would make . Patmore 's model was widely copied -- by Charles Dickens , for example . Literary critics of the time suggested that superior feminine qualities of delicacy , sensitivity , sympathy , and sharp observation gave women novelists a superior insight into stories about home family and love . This made their work highly attractive to the middle - class women who bought the novels and the serialized versions that appeared in many magazines . However , a few early feminists called for aspirations beyond the home . By the end of the century , the `` New Woman '' was riding a bicycle , wearing bloomers , signing petitions , supporting worldwide mission activities , and talking about the vote . Feminists of the 20th century reacted in hostile fashion since the norm was still holding back their aspirations ; Virginia Woolf said the angel had to be killed . Education Further information : History of education in England § Nineteenth century , and Public school ( United Kingdom ) The era saw a reform and renaissance of public schools , inspired by Thomas Arnold at Rugby . The public school became a model for gentlemen and for public service . Literature and arts Main article : Victorian literature In prose , the novel rose from a position of relative neglect during the 1830s to become the leading literary genre by the end of the era . In the 1830s and 1840s , the social novel ( also `` Condition - of - England novels '' ) responded to the social , political and economic upheaval associated with industrialisation . Though it remained influential throughout the period , there was a notable resurgence of Gothic fiction in the fin de siecle , such as in Robert Louis Stevenson 's novella Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde ( 1886 ) and Oscar Wilde 's The Picture of Dorian Gray ( 1891 ) . Entertainment Pablo Fanque performing at Astley 's Amphitheatre , 1847 The Epsom Derby ; painting by James Pollard , c. 1840 Llandudno , 1856 . With the arrival of the railway network , seaside towns became popular destinations for Victorian holiday makers Popular forms of entertainment varied by social class . Victorian Britain , like the periods before it , was interested in literature ( see Charles Dickens , Arthur Conan Doyle , Charlotte , Emily and Anne Brontë , Robert Louis Stevenson and William Makepeace Thackeray ) , theatre and the arts ( see Aesthetic movement and Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood ) , and music , drama , and opera were widely attended . Michael Balfe was the most popular British grand opera composer of the period , while the most popular musical theatre was a series of fourteen comic operas by Gilbert and Sullivan , although there was also musical burlesque and the beginning of Edwardian musical comedy in the 1890s . Drama ranged from low comedy to Shakespeare ( see Henry Irving ) . There were , however , other forms of entertainment . Gentlemen went to dining clubs , like the Beefsteak club or the Savage club . Gambling at cards in establishments popularly called casinos was wildly popular during the period : so much so that evangelical and reform movements specifically targeted such establishments in their efforts to stop gambling , drinking , and prostitution . Brass bands and ' The Bandstand ' became popular in the Victorian era . The band stand was a simple construction that not only created an ornamental focal point , but also served acoustic requirements whilst providing shelter from the changeable British weather . It was common to hear the sound of a brass band whilst strolling through parklands . At this time musical recording was still very much a novelty . The Victorian era marked the golden age of the British circus. Astley 's Amphitheatre in Lambeth , London , featuring equestrian acts in a 42 - foot wide circus ring , was the epicentre of the 19th century circus . The permanent structure sustained three fires but as an institution lasted a full century , with Andrew Ducrow and William Batty managing the theatre in the middle part of the century . William Batty would also build his own 14,000 - person arena , known commonly as Batty 's Hippodrome , in Kensington Gardens and draw crowds from the Crystal Palace Exhibition . Travelling circuses , like Pablo Fanque 's , dominated the British provinces , Scotland , and Ireland ( Fanque would enjoy fame again in the 20th century when John Lennon would buy an 1843 poster advertising his circus and adapt the lyrics for The Beatles song , Being for the Benefit of Mr. Kite ! ) . Fanque also stands out as a black man who achieved great success and enjoyed great admiration among the British public only a few decades after Britain had abolished slavery . Another form of entertainment involved ' spectacles ' where paranormal events , such as mesmerism , communication with the dead ( by way of mediumship or channelling ) , ghost conjuring and the like , were carried out to the delight of crowds and participants . Such activities were more popular at this time than in other periods of recent Western history . Natural history became increasingly an `` amateur '' activity . Particularly in Britain and the United States , this grew into specialist hobbies such as the study of birds , butterflies , seashells ( malacology / conchology ) , beetles and wild flowers . Amateur collectors and natural history entrepreneurs played an important role in building the large natural history collections of the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries . Middle - class Victorians used the train services to visit the seaside , helped by the Bank Holiday Act of 1871 , which created a number of fixed holidays . Large numbers travelling to quiet fishing villages such as Worthing , Morecambe and Scarborough began turning them into major tourist centres , and people like Thomas Cook saw tourism and even overseas travel as viable businesses . Sport Main article : Sport in the United Kingdom § History Rugby football match between England and Scotland , c. 1880 The Victorian Era saw the introduction and development of many modern sports . Often originating in the public schools , they exemplified new ideals of manliness . Cricket , cycling , croquet , horse - riding , and many water activities are examples of some of the popular sports in the Victorian Era . The modern game of tennis originated in Birmingham , England , between 1859 and 1865 . The world 's oldest tennis tournament , the Wimbledon championships , were first played in London in 1877 . Britain was an active competitor in all the Olympic Games starting in 1896 . Economy , industry and trade Further information : Industrial revolution and Second industrial revolution The most obvious and the most distinctive feature of the History of Civilisation , during the last fifty years ( 1837 -- 87 ) , is the wonderful increase of industrial production by the application of machinery , the improvement of old technical processes and the invention of new ones , accompanied by an even more remarkable development of old and new means of locomotion and intercommunication -- Thomas Henry Huxley Progress Historians have characterised the mid-Victorian era ( 1850 -- 1870 ) as Britain 's `` Golden Years '' . There was prosperity , as the national income per person grew by half . Much of the prosperity was due to the increasing industrialisation , especially in textiles and machinery , as well as to the worldwide network of trade and engineering that produced profits for British merchants , and exports from across the globe . There was peace abroad ( apart from the short Crimean war , 1854 -- 56 ) , and social peace at home . Opposition to the new order melted away , says Porter . The Chartist movement peaked as a democratic movement among the working class in 1848 ; its leaders moved to other pursuits , such as trade unions and cooperative societies . The working class ignored foreign agitators like Karl Marx in their midst , and joined in celebrating the new prosperity . Employers typically were paternalistic and generally recognised the trade unions . Companies provided their employees with welfare services ranging from housing , schools and churches , to libraries , baths , and gymnasia . Middle - class reformers did their best to assist the working classes ' aspirations to middle - class norms of `` respectability '' . There was a spirit of libertarianism , says Porter , as people felt they were free . Taxes were very low , and government restrictions were minimal . There were still problem areas , such as occasional riots , especially those motivated by anti-Catholicism . Society was still ruled by the aristocracy and the gentry , who controlled high government offices , both houses of Parliament , the church , and the military . Becoming a rich businessman was not as prestigious as inheriting a title and owning a landed estate . Literature was doing well , but the fine arts languished as the Great Exhibition of 1851 showcased Britain 's industrial prowess rather than its sculpture , painting or music . The educational system was mediocre ; the main universities ( outside Scotland ) were likewise mediocre . Historian Llewellyn Woodward has concluded : For leisure or work , for getting or for spending , England was a better country in 1879 than in 1815 . The scales were less weighted against the weak , against women and children , and against the poor . There was greater movement , and less of the fatalism of an earlier age . The public conscience was more instructed , and the content of liberty was being widened to include something more than freedom from political constraint ... Yet England in 1871 was by no means an earthly paradise . The housing and conditions of life of the working class in town & country were still a disgrace to an age of plenty . Technology , science and engineering The railways changed communications and society dramatically The Victorians were impressed by science and progress and felt that they could improve society in the same way as they were improving technology . Britain was the leading world centre for advanced engineering and technology . Its engineering firms were in worldwide demand for designing and constructing railways . A central development during the Victorian era was the improvement of communication . The new railways all allowed goods , raw materials , and people to be moved about , rapidly facilitating trade and industry . The financing of railways became an important specialty of London 's financiers . The railway system led to a reorganisation of society more generally , with `` railway time '' being the standard by which clocks were set throughout Britain ; the complex railway system setting the standard for technological advances and efficiency . Steam ships such as the SS Great Britain and SS Great Western made international travel more common but also advanced trade , so that in Britain it was not just the luxury goods of earlier times that were imported into the country but essentials and raw materials such as corn and cotton from the United States and meat and wool from Australia . One more important innovation in communications was the Penny Black , the first postage stamp , which standardised postage to a flat price regardless of distance sent . Even later communication methods such as electric power , telegraph , and telephones , had an impact . Photography was realised in 1839 by Louis Daguerre in France and William Fox Talbot in Britain . By 1889 , hand - held cameras were available . Brunel 's Clifton Suspension Bridge in Bristol Similar sanitation reforms , prompted by the Public Health Acts 1848 and 1869 , were made in the crowded , dirty streets of the existing cities , and soap was the main product shown in the relatively new phenomenon of advertising . A great engineering feat in the Victorian Era was the sewage system in London . It was designed by Joseph Bazalgette in 1858 . He proposed to build 82 mi ( 132 km ) of sewer system linked with over 1,000 mi ( 1,600 km ) of street sewers . Many problems were encountered but the sewers were completed . After this , Bazalgette designed the Thames Embankment which housed sewers , water pipes and the London Underground . During the same period , London 's water supply network was expanded and improved , and a gas network for lighting and heating was introduced in the 1880s . The model town of Saltaire was founded , along with others , as a planned environment with good sanitation and many civic , educational and recreational facilities , although it lacked a pub , which was regarded as a focus of dissent . During the Victorian era , science grew into the discipline it is today . In addition to the increasing professionalism of university science , many Victorian gentlemen devoted their time to the study of natural history . This study of natural history was most powerfully advanced by Charles Darwin and his theory of evolution first published in his book On the Origin of Species in 1859 . Glasgow slum in 1871 Crossing the Lagan Canal by the Ulster Railway near Moira , a sensible legacy of the Victorian era . Although initially developed in the early years of the 19th century , gas lighting became widespread during the Victorian era in industry , homes , public buildings and the streets . The invention of the incandescent gas mantle in the 1890s greatly improved light output and ensured its survival as late as the 1960s . Hundreds of gasworks were constructed in cities and towns across the country . In 1882 , incandescent electric lights were introduced to London streets , although it took many years before they were installed everywhere . Railways One of the great achievements of the Industrial Revolution in Britain was the introduction and advancement of railway systems , not only in the United Kingdom and the British Empire but across the world . British engineers and financiers designed , built and funded many major systems . They retained an ownership share even while turning over management to locals ; that ownership was largely liquidated in 1914 -- 1916 to pay for the World War . Railroads originated in England because industrialists had already discovered the need for inexpensive transportation to haul coal for the new steam engines , to supply parts to specialized factories , and to take products to market . The existing system of canals was inexpensive but was too slow and too limited in geography . The engineers and businessmen needed to create and finance a railway system were available ; they knew how to invent , to build , and to finance a large complex system . The first quarter of the 19th century involved numerous experiments with locomotives and rail technology . By 1825 railways were commercially feasible , as demonstrated by George Stephenson ( 1791 -- 1848 ) when he built the Stockton and Darlington . On his first run , his locomotive pulled 38 freight and passenger cars at speeds as high as 12 miles per hour . Stephenson went on to design many more railways and is best known for standardizing designs , such as the `` standard gauge '' of rail spacing , at 4 feet 8 1⁄2 inches . Thomas Brassey ( 1805 -- 70 ) was even more prominent , operating construction crews that at one point in the 1840s totalled 75,000 men throughout Europe , the British Empire , and Latin America . Brassey took thousands of British engineers and mechanics across the globe to build new lines . They invented and improved thousands of mechanical devices , and developed the science of civil engineering to build roadways , tunnels and bridges . Britain had a superior financial system based in London that funded both the railways in Britain and also in many other parts of the world , including the United States , up until 1914 . The boom years were 1836 and 1845 -- 47 when Parliament authorised 8,000 miles of lines at a projected cost of £ 200 million , which was about the same value as the country 's annual Gross Domestic Product ( GDP ) at that time . A new railway needed a charter , which typically cost over £ 200,000 ( about $1 million ) to obtain from Parliament , but opposition could effectively prevent its construction . The canal companies , unable or unwilling to upgrade their facilities to compete with railways , used political power to try to stop them . The railways responded by purchasing about a fourth of the canal system , in part to get the right of way , and in part to buy off critics . Once a charter was obtained , there was little government regulation , as laissez - faire and private ownership had become accepted practices . The different lines typically had exclusive territory , but given the compact size of Britain , this meant that multiple competing lines could provide service between major cities . George Hudson ( 1800 -- 1871 ) became the `` railway king '' of Britain . He merged various independent lines and set up a `` Clearing House '' in 1842 which rationalized interconnections by establishing uniform paperwork and standard methods for transferring passengers and freight between lines , and rates when one system used freight cars owned by another . By 1850 , rates had fallen to a penny a ton mile for coal , at speeds of up to fifty miles an hour . Britain now had had the model for the world in a well integrated , well - engineered system that allowed fast , cheap movement of freight and people , and which could be replicated in other major nations . Frith 's depiction of Paddington railway station in London . The railways directly or indirectly employed tens of thousands of engineers , mechanics , repairmen and technicians , as well as statisticians and financial planners . They developed new and more efficient and less expensive techniques . Most important , they created a mindset of how technology could be used in many different forms of business . Railways had a major impact on industrialization . By lowering transportation costs , they reduced costs for all industries moving supplies and finished goods , and they increased demand for the production of all the inputs needed for the railroad system itself . By 1880 , there were 13,500 locomotives which each carried 97,800 passengers a year , or 31,500 tons of freight . India provides an example of the London - based financiers pouring money and expertise into a very well built system designed for military reasons ( after the Mutiny of 1857 ) , and with the hope that it would stimulate industry . The system was overbuilt and much too elaborate and expensive for the small amount of freight traffic it carried . However , it did capture the imagination of the Indians , who saw their railways as the symbol of an industrial modernity -- but one that was not realized until a century or so later . Health and medicine Joseph Thomas Clover demonstrating the Chloroform apparatus he invented in 1862 Medicine progressed during Queen Victoria 's reign . Although nitrous oxide , or laughing gas , had been proposed as an anaesthetic as far back as 1799 by Humphry Davy , it was n't until 1846 when an American dentist named William Morton started using ether on his patients that anaesthetics became common in the medical profession . In 1847 chloroform was introduced as an anaesthetic by James Young Simpson . Chloroform was favoured by doctors and hospital staff because it is much less flammable than ether , but critics complained that it could cause the patient to have a heart attack . Chloroform gained in popularity in England and Germany after John Snow gave Queen Victoria chloroform for the birth of her eighth child ( Prince Leopold ) . By 1920 , chloroform was used in 80 to 95 % of all narcoses performed in the UK and German - speaking countries . Anaesthetics made painless dentistry possible . At the same time sugar consumption in the British diet increased , greatly increasing instances of tooth decay . As a result , more and more people were having teeth extracted and needing dentures . This gave rise to `` Waterloo Teeth '' , which were real human teeth set into hand - carved pieces of ivory from hippopotamus or walrus jaws . The teeth were obtained from executed criminals , victims of battlefields , from grave - robbers , and were even bought directly from the desperately impoverished . Medicine also benefited from the introduction of antiseptics by Joseph Lister in 1867 in the form of carbolic acid ( phenol ) . He instructed the hospital staff to wear gloves and wash their hands , instruments , and dressings with a phenol solution and in 1869 , he invented a machine that would spray carbolic acid in the operating theatre during surgery . 1880 London magazine ad links prosperity to temperance . Population The Victorian era was a time of unprecedented population growth in Britain . The population rose from 13.9 million in 1831 to 32.5 million in 1901 . Two major contributary factors were fertility rates and mortality rates . Britain was the first country to undergo the Demographic transition and the Agricultural and Industrial Revolutions . The Louth - London Royal Mail travelling by train from Peterborough East , 1845 Britain had the lead in rapid economic and population growth . At the time , Thomas Malthus believed this lack of growth outside Britain was due to the ' Malthusian trap ' . That is , the tendency of a population to expand geometrically while resources grew more slowly , reaching a crisis ( such as famine , war , or epidemic ) which would reduce the population to a sustainable size . Britain escaped the ' Malthusian trap ' because the Industrial Revolution had a positive impact on living standards . People had more money and could improve their standards ; therefore , a population increase was sustainable . Fertility rates In the Victorian era , fertility rates increased in every decade until 1901 , when the rates started evening out . There were several reasons for this . One is biological : with improving living standards , a higher proportion of women were biologically able to have children . Another possible explanation is social . In the 19th century , the marriage rate increased , and people were getting married at a very young age until the end of the century , when the average age of marriage started to increase again slowly . The reasons why people got married younger and more frequently are uncertain . One theory is that greater prosperity allowed people to finance marriage and new households earlier than previously possible . With more births within marriage , it seems inevitable that marriage rates and birth rates would rise together . Birth rates were originally measured by the ' Crude birth rate ' -- births per year divided by total population . This is indeed a crude measure , as key groups and their fertility rates are not clear . It is likely to be affected mainly by changes in the age distribution of the population . The Net Reproduction Rate was then introduced as an alternative measure : it measures the average fertility rate of women of child - bearing ages . High rates of birth also occurred because of a lack of Birth control . Mainly because women lacked knowledge of birth control methods and the practice was seen as unrespectable . The evening out of fertility rates at the beginning of the 20th century was mainly the result of a few big changes : availability of forms of birth control , and changes in people 's attitude towards sex . Mortality rates The mortality rates in England changed greatly through the 19th century . There was no catastrophic epidemic or famine in England or Scotland in the 19th century -- it was the first century in which a major epidemic did not occur throughout the whole country , and deaths per 1000 of population per year in England and Wales fell from 21.9 from 1848 -- 54 to 17 in 1901 ( cf , for instance , 5.4 in 1971 ) . Social class had a significant effect on mortality rates : the upper classes had a lower rate of premature death early in the 19th century than poorer classes did . Environmental and health standards rose throughout the Victorian era ; improvements in nutrition may also have played a role , although the importance of this is debated . Sewage works were improved , as was the quality of drinking water . With a healthier environment , diseases were caught less easily and did not spread as much . Technology improved because the population had more money to spend on medical technology ( for example , techniques to prevent death in childbirth , so that more women and children survived ) , which also led to a greater number of cures for diseases . However , there was a cholera epidemic in London in 1848 -- 49 , which killed 14,137 people , and another in 1853 killing 10,738 . Reformers rushed to complete a modern London sewerage system . Tuberculosis ( spread in congested dwellings ) , lung diseases from the mines and typhoid remained common . High Culture See also : Victorian literature , Victorian architecture , Victorian decorative arts , and Victorian fashion A picture of Leadenhall Street , London , c. 1837 The Poultry Cross , Salisbury , painted by Louise Rayner , c. 1870 Gothic Revival architecture became increasingly significant during the period , leading to the Battle of the Styles between Gothic and Classical ideals . Charles Barry 's architecture for the new Palace of Westminster , which had been badly damaged in an 1834 fire , was built in the medieval style of Westminster Hall , the surviving part of the building . It constructed a narrative of cultural continuity , set in opposition to the violent disjunctions of Revolutionary France , a comparison common to the period , as expressed in Thomas Carlyle 's The French Revolution : A History and Charles Dickens ' Great Expectations and A Tale of Two Cities . Gothic was also supported by critic John Ruskin , who argued that it epitomised communal and inclusive social values , as opposed to Classicism , which he considered to epitomise mechanical standardisation . The middle of the 19th century saw The Great Exhibition of 1851 , the first World 's Fair , which showcased the greatest innovations of the century . At its centre was the Crystal Palace , a modular glass and iron structure -- the first of its kind . It was condemned by Ruskin as the very model of mechanical dehumanisation in design but later came to be presented as the prototype of Modern architecture . The emergence of photography , showcased at the Great Exhibition , resulted in significant changes in Victorian art with Queen Victoria being the first British monarch to be photographed . John Everett Millais was influenced by photography ( notably in his portrait of Ruskin ) as were other Pre-Raphaelite artists . It later became associated with the Impressionistic and Social Realist techniques that would dominate the later years of the period in the work of artists such as Walter Sickert and Frank Holl . The long - term effect of the reform movements was to tightly link the nonconformist element with the Liberal party . The dissenters gave significant support to moralistic issues , such as temperance and sabbath enforcement . The nonconformist conscience , as it was called , was repeatedly called upon by Gladstone for support for his moralistic foreign policy . In election after election , Protestant ministers rallied their congregations to the Liberal ticket . In Scotland , the Presbyterians played a similar role to the Nonconformist Methodists , Baptists and other groups in England and Wales The political strength of Dissent faded sharply after 1920 with the secularization of British society in the 20th century . The middle - class The rise of the middle class during the era had a formative effect on its character ; the historian Walter E. Houghton reflects that `` once the middle class attained political as well as financial eminence , their social influence became decisive . The Victorian frame of mind is largely composed of their characteristic modes of thought and feeling '' . Industrialisation brought with it a rapidly growing middle class whose increase in numbers had a significant effect on the social strata itself : cultural norms , lifestyle , values and morality . Identifiable characteristics came to define the middle class home and lifestyle . Previously , in town and city , residential space was adjacent to or incorporated into the work site , virtually occupying the same geographical space . The difference between private life and commerce was a fluid one distinguished by an informal demarcation of function . In the Victorian era , English family life increasingly became compartmentalised , the home a self - contained structure housing a nuclear family extended according to need and circumstance to include blood relations . The concept of `` privacy '' became a hallmark of the middle - class life . The English home closed up and darkened over the decade ( 1850s ) , the cult of domesticity matched by a cult of privacy . Bourgeois existence was a world of interior space , heavily curtained off and wary of intrusion , and opened only by invitation for viewing on occasions such as parties or teas . `` The essential , unknowability of each individual , and society 's collaboration in the maintenance of a façade behind which lurked innumerable mysteries , were the themes which preoccupied many mid-century novelists . '' -- Kate Summerscale quoting historian Anthony S. Wohl Journalism Main article : History of journalism in the United Kingdom A wounded British officer reading The Times 's report of the end of the Crimean War In 1817 Thomas Barnes became general editor of The Times ; he was a political radical , a sharp critic of parliamentary hypocrisy and a champion of freedom of the press . Under Barnes and his successor in 1841 , John Thadeus Delane , the influence of The Times rose to great heights , especially in politics and in the financial district ( the City of London ) . It spoke of reform . The Times originated the practice of sending war correspondents to cover particular conflicts . W.H. Russell wrote immensely influential dispatches on the Crimean War of 1853 -- 1856 ; for the first time , the public could read about the reality of warfare . Russell wrote one dispatch that highlighted the surgeons ' `` inhumane barbarity '' and the lack of ambulance care for wounded troops . Shocked and outraged , the public reacted in a backlash that led to major reforms especially in the provision of nursing , led by Florence Nightingale . The Manchester Guardian was founded in Manchester in 1821 by a group of non-conformist businessmen . Its most famous editor , Charles Prestwich Scott , made the Guardian into a world - famous newspaper in the 1890s . The Daily Telegraph in 1856 became the first penny newspaper in London . It was funded by advertising revenue based on a large audience . Leisure Ramsgate beach in 1899 Opportunities for leisure activities increased dramatically as real wages continued to grow and hours of work continued to decline . In urban areas the nine - hour workday became increasingly the norm ; the Factory Act 1874 limited the working week to 56.5 hours , encouraging the movement towards an eventual eight - hour workday . Furthermore , a system of routine annual holidays came into play , starting with white - collar workers and moving into the working - class . Some 200 seaside resorts emerged thanks to cheap hotels and inexpensive railway fares , widespread bank holidays and the fading of many religious prohibitions against secular activities on Sundays . By the late Victorian era the leisure industry had emerged in all cities . It provided scheduled entertainment of suitable length at convenient locales at inexpensive prices . These included sporting events , music halls , and popular theatre . By 1880 football was no longer the preserve of the social elite , as it attracted large working - class audiences . Average attendance was 5000 in 1905 , rising to 23,000 in 1913 . That amounted to 6 million paying customers with a weekly turnover of £ 400,000 . Sports by 1900 generated some three percent of the total gross national product . Professional sports were the norm , although some new activities reached an upscale amateur audience , such as lawn tennis and golf . Women were now allowed in some sports , such as archery , tennis , badminton and gymnastics . Housing The very rapid growth in population in the 19th century in the cities included the new industrial and manufacturing cities , as well as service centres such as Edinburgh and London . The critical factor was financing , which was handled by building societies that dealt directly with large contracting firms . Private renting from housing landlords was the dominant tenure . P. Kemp says this was usually of advantage to tenants . People moved in so rapidly that there was not enough capital to build adequate housing for everyone , so low income newcomers squeezed into increasingly overcrowded slums . Clean water , sanitation , and public health facilities were inadequate ; the death rate was high , especially infant mortality , and tuberculosis among young adults . Cholera from polluted water and typhoid were endemic . Unlike rural areas , there were no famines such as the one which devastated Ireland in the 1840s . Poverty Part of Charles Booth 's poverty map showing the Old Nichol , a slum in the East End of London . Published 1889 in Life and Labour of the People in London . The red areas are `` middle class , well - to - do '' , light blue areas are `` poor , 18s to 21s a week for a moderate family '' , dark blue areas are `` very poor , casual , chronic want '' , and black areas are the `` lowest class ... occasional labourers , street sellers , loafers , criminals and semi-criminals '' . Working class life in Victorian Wetherby , West Yorkshire 19th century Britain saw a huge population increase accompanied by rapid urbanisation stimulated by the Industrial Revolution . Wage rates improved steadily ; real wages ( after taking inflation into account ) were 65 percent higher in 1901 , compared to 1871 . Much of the money was saved , as the number of depositors in savings banks rose from 430,000 in 1831 , to 5.2 million in 1887 , and their deposits from £ 14 million to over £ 90 million . People flooded into industrial areas and commercial cities faster than housing could be built , resulting in overcrowding and lagging sanitation facilities such as fresh water and sewage . These problems were magnified in London , where the population grew at record rates . Large houses were turned into flats and tenements , and as landlords failed to maintain these dwellings , slum housing developed . Kellow Chesney described the situation as follows : `` Hideous slums , some of them acres wide , some no more than crannies of obscure misery , make up a substantial part of the metropolis ... In big , once handsome houses , thirty or more people of all ages may inhabit a single room . '' Significant changes happened in the British Poor Law system in England and Wales , Scotland , and Ireland . These included a large expansion in workhouses ( or poorhouses in Scotland ) , although with changing populations during the era . Child Labour Girl pulling a coal tub in mine . From official report of the parliamentary commission in the mid 19th century . The early Victorian era before the reforms of the 1840s became notorious for the employment of young children in factories and mines and as chimney sweeps . Child labour played an important role in the Industrial Revolution from its outset : novelist Charles Dickens , for example , worked at the age of 12 in a blacking factory , with his family in a debtors ' prison . Reformers wanted the children in school : in 1840 only about 20 percent of the children in London had any schooling . By 1860 about half of the children between 5 and 15 were in school ( including Sunday school ) . The children of the poor were expected to help towards the family budget , often working long hours in dangerous jobs for low wages . Agile boys were employed by the chimney sweeps ; small children were employed to scramble under machinery to retrieve cotton bobbins ; and children were also employed to work in coal mines , crawling through tunnels too narrow and low for adults . Children also worked as errand boys , crossing sweepers , shoe blacks , or sold matches , flowers , and other cheap goods . Some children undertook work as apprentices to respectable trades , such as building , or as domestic servants ( there were over 120,000 domestic servants in London in the mid 19th century ) . Working hours were long : builders might work 64 hours a week in summer and 52 in winter , while domestic servants were theoretically on duty 80 - hours a week . `` Mother bides at home , she is troubled with bad breath , and is sair weak in her body from early labour . I am wrought with sister and brother , it is very sore work ; can not say how many rakes or journeys I make from pit 's bottom to wall face and back , thinks about 30 or 25 on the average ; the distance varies from 100 to 250 fathom . I carry about 1 cwt. and a quarter on my back ; have to stoop much and creep through water , which is frequently up to the calves of my legs . '' ( Isabella Read , 12 years old , coal - bearer , testimony gathered by Ashley 's Mines Commission 1842 ) As early as 1802 and 1819 , Factory Acts were passed to limit the working hours of workhouse children in factories and cotton mills to 12 hours per day . These acts were largely ineffective and after radical agitation , by for example the `` Short Time Committees '' in 1831 , a Royal Commission recommended in 1833 that children aged 11 -- 18 should work a maximum of 12 hours per day , children aged 9 -- 11 a maximum of eight hours , and children under the age of nine should no longer be permitted to work . This act , however , only applied to the textile industry , and further agitation led to another act in 1847 limiting both adults and children to 10 - hour working days . Morality See also : Victorian morality and Women in the Victorian era Victorian morality was a surprising new reality . The changes in moral standards and actual behaviour across the British were profound . Historian Harold Perkin wrote : Between 1780 and 1850 the English ceased to be one of the most aggressive , brutal , rowdy , outspoken , riotous , cruel and bloodthirsty nations in the world and became one of the most inhibited , polite , orderly , tender - minded , prudish and hypocritical . Historians continue to debate the various causes of this dramatic change . Asa Briggs emphasizes the strong reaction against the French Revolution , and the need to focus British efforts on its defeat and not be diverged by pleasurable sins . Briggs also stresses the powerful role of the evangelical movement among the Nonconformists , as well as the Evangelical faction inside the established Church of England . The religious and political reformers set up organizations that monitored behaviour , and pushed for government action . Among the higher social classes , there was a marked decline in gambling , horse races , and obscene theatres ; There was much less heavy gambling or patronage of upscale houses of prostitution . The highly visible debauchery characteristic of aristocratic England in the early 19th century simply disappeared . Historians agree that the middle classes not only professed high personal moral standards , but actually followed them . There is a debate whether the working classes followed suit . Moralists in the late 19th century such as Henry Mayhew decried the slums for their supposed high levels of cohabitation without marriage and illegitimate births . However new research using computerized matching of data files shows that the rates of cohabitation were quite low -- under 5 % -- for the working class and the poor . By contrast in 21st century Britain , nearly half of all children are born outside marriage , and nine in ten newlyweds have been cohabitating . Prostitution Further information : Victorian morality § Prostitution , and Prostitution in the United Kingdom § 19th century Prostitution had been a factor in city life for centuries . The reformers started mobilizing in the late 1840s , major news organisations , clergymen , and single women became increasingly concerned about prostitution , which came to be known as `` The Great Social Evil '' . Estimates of the number of prostitutes in London in the 1850s vary widely In his landmark study , Prostitution , William Acton reported that the police estimated there were 8,600 in London alone in 1857 .

"In the history of the United Kingdom, the Victorian era was the period of Queen Victoria's reign, from 20 June 1837 until her death on 22 January 1901. The era followed the Georgian period and preceded the Edwardian period, and its later half overlaps with the first part of the Belle Époque era of France and continental Europe. In terms of moral sensibilities and political reforms, period began with the passage of the Reform Act 1832. There was a strong religious drive for higher moral standards led by the nonconformist churches, such as the Methodist, and the Evangelical wing of the established Church of England. Moral standards improved very dramatically, especially for the middle class. The period was peaceful among the Great Powers, with only one mid-sized international war. Britain enjoyed strong naval superiority, leadership worldwide in manufacturing, finance, railways, shipping, and entrepreneurship. Britain embarked on global imperial expansion, particularly in Asia and Africa, which made the British Empire the largest empire in history. National self-confidence peaked.[1]"

"James told Country Weekly that, when he arrived at Underwood's cabin in Leiper's Fork, Tennessee for a songwriter's session, she and DeStefano already had a track ready, when Underwood suggested \"Something in the Water\" as a title. They then chose to make the song themed after a person whose life changes after baptism. James said that he found Underwood's demo of the song \"emotional\", and praised Underwood's singing and songwriting style. He later called it \"one of the most perfect writing days I have had in my life\".[4]"

Meanwhile , Jafar orders Iago to release him , but he refuses and drops the lamp into the well . Hoping to help the others respect him , Iago tells Aladdin that he is under Jafar 's spell . Aladdin fends off against Abis Mal 's clan of bandits , until Iago rescues him . Aladdin hides Iago from the others in the palace . When the Genie returns home , he , Jasmine and the Sultan prepare their special honorable dinner to promote Aladdin as a grand vizier . Rajah chases Iago through the palace and they accidentally ruin the dinner . Though Jasmine and the Sultan mistrust Iago , Aladdin convinces them to respect him . When Abis Mal obtains and uses the lamp , he meets Jafar . Before returning to the city , Jafar grants three wishes for Abis Mal , but he uses the first one . They force Iago to work for them . Aladdin , Iago and the Sultan head through the river , while Jafar imprisons the Genie , Abu and Jasmine . Abis Mal and Jafar kidnap the Sultan , but Aladdin evades them and returns to the palace . Jafar frames Aladdin for the Sultan 's assumed death , using the guards to prepare for the prisoner 's execution . However , the repentant Iago releases the Genie , allowing him to save Aladdin and the others . They plan to destroy Jafar 's lamp which is identified as his soul . While celebrating Aladdin 's assumed death , Jafar demands Abis Mal to free him from the lamp , but he refuses and uses the second wish to get various treasures . Aladdin tries to steal the lamp from Abis Mal , but Jafar discovers them . He traps Aladdin and the others , turning the palace gardens into a lava - filled wasteland . Iago arrives to help them , but is knocked unconscious by Jafar . After Iago kicks the lamp into the pool of lava , it melts away . Aladdin and his friends rescue Iago , before escaping through the closing ledge to safety . With Jafar gone , the palace reverts to normal and Iago is revived . Aladdin refuses to become a vizier , telling his friends that they will see the world . After the credits , Abis Mal realizes he can not use his third wish . Voice cast Main article : List of Disney 's Aladdin characters Scott Weinger as Aladdin Brad Kane as Aladdin ( singing voice ) Jonathan Freeman as Jafar Gilbert Gottfried as Iago Dan Castellaneta as Genie Linda Larkin as Princess Jasmine Liz Callaway as Princess Jasmine ( singing voice ) Jason Alexander as Abis Mal Frank Welker as Abu Val Bettin as the Sultan Jim Cummings as Razoul Songs `` Arabian Nights '' `` I 'm Looking Out for Me '' `` Nothing in the World ( Quite Like a Friend ) '' `` Forget About Love '' `` You 're Only Second Rate '' Production Originally planned to be a television special , Tad Stones suggested that the film should instead be released on home video . Instead of receiving a theatrical release , Steve Feldstein , director of public relations for Disney 's home video division , stated the decision to release The Return of Jafar on home video was due to time constraints claiming that `` to put the film in the theatrical pipeline would have taken up to five years '' , but releasing it on home video would take `` less than two years . '' In addition to that , Feldstein confirmed that financing was also a consideration since producing a direct - to - video feature would be `` less costly to make than Aladdin . '' Likewise , due to an expanding video market , Disney claimed demand from theatrical and video audiences for more Aladdin and the other characters was another reason for a speedy follow - up . Due to a well publicized bitter fall - out over the use of his voice in the marketing campaign for Aladdin , Robin Williams refused to reprise the role of the Genie , and was instead replaced by Dan Castellaneta ( best known for voicing Homer Simpson ) . It was also the first Aladdin full - length production without the original voice of Sultan , Douglas Seale . He was replaced by Val Bettin , who reprised his role in the franchise 's animated series and Aladdin and the King of Thieves . Reception Critical reception has been generally mixed to negative . Rotten Tomatoes , the film has an overall approval rating of 27 % based on 11 reviews collected , with a weighted average score of 3.9 / 10 . David Nusair of reelfilm.com summed up most of the negative feelings that contributed to this rating : `` Notable as the first direct - to - video Disney sequel , The Return of Jafar follows Aladdin ( Scott Weinger ) as he attempts to once again foil Jafar 's ( Jonathan Freeman ) villainous plot to take over Agrabah . And despite the fact that he was freed from his lamp at the end of the first film , the genie ( now voiced by Dan Castellaneta ) is back and wackier than ever . It 's clear right from the outset that Disney put very little effort into the production of The Return of Jafar , particularly in the realm of animation . The film has all the style and fluidity of a Saturday morning cartoon , while various songs are bland and forgettable . The repetitive storyline does n't do the movie any favors , and even at a running time of 69 - minutes , doldrums set in almost immediately . Castellaneta does the best he can with the material , but generally comes up short ( particularly when compared with Robin Williams 's manic performance from the original ) . The Return of Jafar is a thoroughly needless sequel that may keep small children engaged , but is bound to come off as nothing less than a huge disappointment for fans of the original . '' Despite the mostly negative reception , on the television program Siskel & Ebert , the film received a `` two thumbs up '' from Gene Siskel and Roger Ebert . Writing for Entertainment Weekly , Steve Daly graded the sequel a C - criticizing it as a `` knockoff '' that `` carries the Disney label and costs about as much as a tape of Aladdin , but it 's clear from the first jerky frame that the same time , care , and creativity did n't go into it . '' Home video The Return of Jafar was first released on VHS in the United States on May 20 , 1994 , being the first installment of Walt Disney Home Video collection series . In its first two days , it had sold more than 1.5 million VHS copies . By June 1994 , more than 4.6 million VHS copies were sold in less than a week . Ultimately , more than ten million copies were sold ranking among the top 15 top - selling videos of all time ( at the time ) , grossing $150 million in profits . The trailer for the film was seen on the 1994 VHS videocassette release of The Fox and the Hound . Originally released on VHS that year , The Return of Jafar was later reissued on Special Edition DVD ( with `` Aladdin : '' added to the title ) on January 18 , 2005 , with digitally restored picture and remastered sound . The Special Edition DVD , along with the other two films in the series , were placed on moratorium ( `` placed back into the Disney Vault '' ) on January 31 , 2008 in the U.S. , and February 4 , 2008 in the U.K. The Return of Jafar , along with Aladdin and the King of Thieves was released on Blu - ray / DVD / Digital HD Combo Pack on January 5 , 2016 as a Disney Movie Club exclusive in North America . Adaptations Comic When Disney was publishing their own comics in the mid-90s , they produced a two issue Aladdin comic presenting an alternate version of The Return of Jafar . It was titled The Return of Aladdin . The comic is introduced by the Merchant from the first film . The story starts off showing that Aladdin has been particularly bored of palace life . Meanwhile , Jafar has escaped the Cave of Wonders . Iago is given the task of finding the right master for Jafar to manipulate . Their search seems hopeless as some people are able to enjoy all three wishes or messing up . They find someone to use the lamp , who is known as Isabella , a master magician . Isabella is similar in appearance to Jafar ( except his clothing is green ) . His first wish is to return to Agrabah Palace ( as he performed entertainment to the sultan in # 1 ) . His second wish is for an army of soldiers to pursue Aladdin and Jasmine when they catch on to Jafar 's presence . He is persuaded to use his third wish to trap Jafar and Iago in the lamp again , sending them back to the cave . Due to persuasion by the Genie , the Sultan hires Isabella to a permanent entertainment job at the palace . The end of the story shows the merchant having a black lamp similar to Jafar 's , but he claims it to be worthless . Video game The plot of the film is loosely used in Agrabah , one of the worlds in Kingdom Hearts II , and the Peddler appears from the first film . As in the film , Iago escapes from Jafar and does his best to respect Aladdin , Jasmine , Sora , Donald and Goofy , although Jafar coerces him into aiding him in his revenge , almost damaging Iago 's friendship with Aladdin and Sora , but he redeems himself after taking a blow for Aladdin which almost claims his life . The Peddler , at the beginning , comes across Jafar 's lamp , but sells it to Aladdin , Sora , Donald and Goofy for a rare artifact in the Cave of Wonders . Despite Aladdin sealing the lamp in the palace dungeon , the greedy Peddler breaks into the dungeon and frees Jafar , unleashing his fury on Agrabah until he is defeated by Sora and company . The Peddler 's fate is left ambiguous . This was the first Disney sequel to have its plot adapted into a level in the Kingdom Hearts series , which was then followed by the Grid being an adaptation of Tron Legacy . Furthermore , there is a mild allusion to the Agrabah boss battle in Kingdom Hearts . Sora must fight Jafar in Genie form , surrounded by a lava pit with raising and lowering levels , while Iago flies above with Jafar 's lamp . Only striking the lamp has any effect on Jafar 's health . This fight also takes place in the second game , Kingdom Hearts : Chain of Memories , and its PlayStation 2 remake . In both versions of Chain of Memories , the boss fight is due to the majority of the game being illusions created from Sora 's memories . A second playable character , Riku , also fights the boss in his mode . The battle is once again visited in Kingdom Hearts Coded and Kingdom Hearts Re : coded .

For the actual flight of a bumblebee , see Bumblebee § Flight . 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 . ( July 2014 ) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message ) Flight of the Bumblebee Flight of the Bumblebee performed by the US Army Band Problems playing this file ? See media help . `` Flight of the Bumblebee '' is an orchestral interlude written by Nikolai Rimsky - Korsakov for his opera The Tale of Tsar Saltan , composed in 1899 -- 1900 . Its composition is intended to musically evoke the seemingly chaotic and rapidly changing flying pattern of a bumblebee . Despite the piece 's being a rather incidental part of the opera , it is today one of the more familiar classical works because of its frequent use in popular culture . The piece closes Act III , Tableau 1 , during which the magic Swan - Bird changes Prince Gvidon Saltanovich ( the Tsar 's son ) into an insect so that he can fly away to visit his father ( who does not know that he is alive ) . Although in the opera the Swan - Bird sings during the first part of the `` Flight '' , her vocal line is melodically uninvolved and easily omitted ; this feature , combined with the fact that the number decisively closes the scene , made easy extraction as an orchestral concerto piece possible . Contents ( hide ) 1 Overview 2 In popular culture 3 References 4 External links Overview ( edit ) Here is the text of the scene where the Swan - Bird sings during this music : Russian English translation ( Гвидон спускается с берега в море . Из моря вылетает шмель , кружась около Лебедь - Птицы . ) ЛЕБЕДЬ - ПТИЦА : Ну , теперь , мой шмель , гуляй , ( Nu , teper ' , moy shmel ' , gulyay , ) судно в море догоняй , ( sudno v more dogonyay , ) потихоньку опускайся , ( potikhon'ku opuskaysya , ) в щель подальше забивайся . ( v shchel ' podal'she zabivaysya . ) Будь здоров , Гвидон , лети , ( Bud ' zdorov , Gvidon , leti , ) только долго не гости ! ( tol'ko dolgo ne gosti ! ) ( Шмель улетает . ) ( Gvidon goes down from the shore into the sea . Out from the sea flies a bumblebee , whirling around the Swan - Bird . ) SWAN - BIRD : Well , now , my bumblebee , go on a spree , catch up with the ship on the sea , go down secretly , get deep into a crack . Good luck , Gvidon , fly , only do not stay long ! ( The bumblebee flies away . ) Although the `` Flight '' does not have a title in the score of the opera , its common English title translates like the Russian one ( Полёт шмеля = Polyot shmelya ) . Incidentally , this piece does not constitute one of the movements of the orchestral suite that Rimsky - Korsakov derived from the opera for concerts . Those familiar with the opera Tsar Saltan may recognize two leitmotifs used in the Flight , both of which are associated with Prince Gvidon from earlier in the opera . These are illustrated here in musical notation : The music of this number recurs in modified form during the ensuing tableau ( Act III , Tableau 2 ) , at the points when the Bumblebee appears during the scene : it stings the two evil sisters on the brow , blinds Babarikha ( the instigator of the plot to trick Saltan at the beginning into sending his wife away ) , and in general causes havoc at the end of the tableau . The readers of Alexander Pushkin 's original poem , upon which this opera is based , will note that Gvidon is supposed to go on three separate trips to Saltan 's kingdom , each of which requires a transformation into a different insect . `` Flight of the Bumblebee '' is recognizable for its frantic pace when played up to tempo , with nearly uninterrupted runs of chromatic sixteenth notes . It is not so much the pitch or range of the notes that are played that challenges the musician , but simply the musician 's ability to move to them quickly enough . Because of this and its complexity , it requires a great deal of skill to perform . In the `` Tsar Saltan '' suite , the short version is commonly played , taking less than two minutes . In the Opera version , the three - minute fifty - five - second version is performed . Although the original orchestral version assigns portions of the sixteenth - note runs to various instruments in tandem , in the century since its composition the piece has become a standard showcase for solo instrumental virtuosity , whether on the original violin or on practically any other melodic instrument . Sergei Rachmaninov 's transcription for piano features in the film Shine and is interpreted by David Helfgott . In popular culture ( edit ) This article appears to contain trivial , minor , or unrelated references to popular culture . Please reorganize this content to explain the subject 's impact on popular culture rather than simply listing appearances ; add references to reliable sources if possible , otherwise delete it . ( May 2017 ) Big band trumpeter Harry James did a cover of the piece in 1941 . `` Flight of the Bumblebee '' was featured , along with other compositions by Rimsky - Korsakov , in the fictional 1947 biopic Song of Scheherazade . A piano - based version by B. Bumble and the Stingers reached # 21 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1961 . Japanese band Takeshi Terauchi & Bunnys recorded an instrumental rock cover of this song on their 1967 album , Let 's Go Unmei . The song was featured in the first episode of The Muppet Show , in which Gonzo attempts to eat a tire on stage with the song playing in the background . During the episode of the Internet animated series Cyanide and Happiness `` Ribs '' , the song is frequently played . The radio program The Green Hornet used `` Flight of the Bumblebee '' as its theme music , blended with a hornet buzz created on a theremin . The music became so strongly identified with the show and the character that it was retained as the theme for the later TV series . This version was orchestrated by Billy May and conducted by Lionel Newman , with trumpet solo by Al Hirt , in a jazz style nicknamed `` Green Bee '' . This particular version was later featured in the 2003 film Kill Bill . Progressive metal band Protest The Hero references the main motif at the end of the song `` Palms Read . '' Extreme 's song `` Flight of the Wounded Bumblebee '' is named after the piece , although it is not based on it . Manowar bassist Joey DeMaio recorded a version titled `` Sting of the Bumblebee , '' played entirely on bass guitar . Trans - Siberian Orchestra has included the piece into the song A Last Illusion on its Beethoven 's Last Night album . The video game Rayman uses an altered version of the piece during a chase sequence in which the title character rides a mosquito . This version gradually increases in tempo . The video game Crash : Twinsanity uses an a capella remix of the song during an area in which the player clears a path for Dr. Cortex , who is running from a swarm of bees ( and eventually has a beehive stuck to his head ) . The Great Kat recorded a thrash metal version on her 1990 album Beethoven on Speed . It was often used on Glee when characters were about to get slushied . The music inspired Walt Disney to have a bumblebee featured in a segment of Fantasia that would sound as if it were flying around a movie theater . Although this did not appear in the final film , it anticipated the eventual invention of surround sound . However , in his film Melody Time , Disney included an animated segment using Freddy Martin 's `` Bumble Boogie '' , a jazz arrangement of the piece . For Guinness world record of fastest guitarist and violinist , `` Flight of the Bumblebee '' must be played flawlessly at an increased speed . The current guitar world record is 1300 bpm held by Daniel Kurt Himebauch . In the Scott Hicks film Shine , Geoffrey Rush 's character David Helfgott wanders out of a rainy night into a cafe and amazes the few patrons there by playing a piano version of `` Flight of the Bumblebee . '' In the anime Naruto Shippūden the Movie : Bonds , a remix of it plays during a scene when Shino infiltrates the Land of the Sky 's base . Bob Dylan wrote and recorded a song called `` It 's the Flight of the Bumblebee '' with The Band during the Basement Tapes sessions that quotes the original during the piano intro . It is used as the theme song for the Catalan Netflix produced show Merlí .

The documentary was produced by Ed Sullivan ( under his Sullivan Productions banner ) , NEMS Enterprises ( which owns the 1965 copyright ) , and the Beatles company Subafilms . The project , placed under the direction of manager of production operations M. Clay Adams , was filmed by a large crew led by cinematographer Andrew Laszlo . Fourteen cameras were used to capture the euphoria and mass hysteria that was Beatlemania in America in 1965 . The documentary first aired on BBC1 on 1 March 1966 . In West Germany , it aired on 2 August that year . It aired in the United States on ABC on 10 January 1967 . Contents ( hide ) 1 History 2 Set list 3 Legacy 4 References 5 Sources 6 External links History ( edit ) The film captures not only the concert , the attendance of which was 55,600 , the largest Beatles concert up to that time , but also the events leading up to the concert , including the Beatles ' helicopter ride from Manhattan to Flushing Meadows , their preparation in the dressing room ( i.e. the visiting baseball team 's locker ) at Shea Stadium , and clips from the show 's other acts , including Motown singer Brenda Holloway ( `` I Ca n't Help Myself ( Sugar Pie Honey Bunch ) '' ) , King Curtis ( `` Soul Twist '' ) , Sounds Incorporated ( `` Fingertips '' ) , and Killer Joe Piro and The Discothèque Dancers ( `` It 's Not Unusual '' , `` Downtown '' , `` Ca n't Buy Me Love '' ) , managed by Jerry Weintraub . Murray the K , Neil Aspinall , Nat Weiss , with his step - son Shaun Weiss , Mal Evans , Brian Epstein , and announcer Cousin Brucie Morrow are also featured . Mick Jagger and Keith Richards were also in attendance . Marvin Gaye was introduced but did not perform . The Young Rascals and Cannibal & the Headhunters also performed but were not featured in the documentary . The concert had been presented by promoter Sid Bernstein . Television host Ed Sullivan introduced the band when they took the stage : `` Now , ladies and gentlemen , honored by their country , decorated by their Queen , and loved here in America , here are The Beatles ! '' The film is not a completely accurate representation of the actual concert performance . The songs `` She 's a Woman '' and `` Everybody 's Trying to Be My Baby '' are omitted from the film due to time and likely camera reel change issues ( audio of the latter song was released on The Beatles Anthology Volume 2 CD ) . The audio for the songs that remained went through a heavy post-production process as well . Some songs were treated with overdubs , or even re-recorded entirely , by the Beatles at London 's CTS Studios on 5 January 1966 , to cover audio problems throughout the concert recording . In addition , the audio for `` Twist and Shout '' comes from a show at the Hollywood Bowl later on the same tour , and the audio for `` Act Naturally '' was simply replaced by the studio version of the song ( released on the Help ! LP in Britain and on the B - side of `` Yesterday '' in the US ) , sped up slightly and poorly edited to sync up to the film . The Beatles at Shea Stadium was also shown in cinemas in the United States . The band 's friend from their years in Hamburg , Klaus Voormann , designed the advertisements used to promote the film . Although the film has not been officially available on DVD or VHS ( except via a 1978 release by Media Home Entertainment that was successfully sued by Northern Songs ) , it has been widely available on the bootleg circuit for decades , including in a `` raw audio '' form that restores the original Shea Stadium audio track . A thirty - minute reissue of the footage of the concert was remastered and issued simultaneously with the release of the Ron Howard film The Beatles : Eight Days a Week on 15 September 2016 . Set list ( edit ) Opening title credits for the 1966 concert documentary All songs written by John Lennon and Paul McCartney , except where noted . `` Twist and Shout '' ( Phil Medley , Bert Russell ) `` She 's a Woman '' ( not included in film . audio added to the end credits of 2016 release . ) `` I Feel Fine '' `` Dizzy Miss Lizzy '' ( Larry Williams ) `` Ticket to Ride '' `` Everybody 's Trying to Be My Baby '' ( Carl Perkins ) ( not included in film ) `` Ca n't Buy Me Love '' `` Baby 's in Black '' `` Act Naturally '' ( Voni Morrison , Johnny Russell ) `` A Hard Day 's Night '' `` Help ! '' `` I 'm Down '' Legacy ( edit ) The concert itself was a milestone in popular musical history as the first major stadium concert . The documentary was a highlight of the 1995 Beatles Anthology series , which featured extensive clips from the film . Ringo Starr described the concert in The Beatles Anthology : `` What I remember most about the concert was that we were so far away from the audience ... And screaming had become the thing to do ... Everybody screamed . If you look at the footage , you can see how we reacted to the place . It was very big and very strange . '' In 1970 , John Lennon recalled the show as a career highlight : `` At Shea Stadium , I saw the top of the mountain . '' In 2008 , Paul McCartney played the last concert at Shea Stadium with Billy Joel before the stadium was closed . The concert was documented in the film The Last Play at Shea .

The tsunami affected Southern Great Britain and Ireland Max . intensity XI ( Extreme ) Casualties 10,000 -- 100,000 deaths The 1755 Lisbon earthquake , also known as the Great Lisbon earthquake , occurred in the Kingdom of Portugal on the morning of Saturday , 1 November , the holy day of All Saints ' Day , at around 09 : 40 local time . In combination with subsequent fires and a tsunami , the earthquake almost totally destroyed Lisbon and adjoining areas . Seismologists today estimate the Lisbon earthquake had a magnitude in the range 8.5 -- 9.0 on the moment magnitude scale , with its epicentre in the Atlantic Ocean about 200 km ( 120 mi ) west - southwest of Cape St. Vincent . Estimates place the death toll in Lisbon alone between 10,000 and 100,000 people , making it one of the deadliest earthquakes in history . The earthquake accentuated political tensions in the Kingdom of Portugal and profoundly disrupted the country 's colonial ambitions . The event was widely discussed and dwelt upon by European Enlightenment philosophers , and inspired major developments in theodicy . As the first earthquake studied scientifically for its effects over a large area , it led to the birth of modern seismology and earthquake engineering . In Chapter 6 of Candide it is mentioned that `` there was another earthquake , causing frightful damage . '' In his 1966 edition of Voltaire 's work Robert Adams states that this second quake occurred on 21 December 1755 .

Contemporary reports state that the earthquake lasted between three and a half and six minutes , causing fissures 5 metres ( 16 feet ) wide to open in the city centre . Survivors rushed to the open space of the docks for safety and watched as the water receded , revealing a sea floor littered with lost cargo and shipwrecks . Approximately 40 minutes after the earthquake , a tsunami engulfed the harbour and downtown area , rushing up the Tagus river `` so fast that several people riding on horseback ... were forced to gallop as fast as possible to the upper grounds for fear of being carried away . '' It was followed by two more waves . Candles had been lit all around the city , in homes and churches alike , for All Saints ' Day , and had then been knocked dangerously over in the earthquake 's commotion . As the tsunami waters receded , the city began to burn so drastically a true firestorm burned for hours in the city , asphysxiating people up to a hundred feet from the blaze . A depiction of the 1755 Lisbon earthquake as seen from across the Tagus River Lisbon was not the only Portuguese city affected by the catastrophe . Throughout the south of the country , in particular the Algarve , destruction was rampant . The tsunami destroyed some coastal fortresses in the Algarve and , in the lower levels , it razed several houses . Almost all the coastal towns and villages of the Algarve were heavily damaged , except Faro , which was protected by the sandy banks of Ria Formosa . In Lagos , the waves reached the top of the city walls . Other towns of different Portuguese regions , such as Peniche , Cascais , and even Covilhã , which is located near the Serra da Estrela mountain range in central inland Portugal , were affected . The shock waves of the earthquake destroyed part of Covilhã 's castle walls and its large towers . On the island of Madeira , Funchal and many smaller settlements suffered significant damage . Almost all of the ports in the Azores archipelago suffered most of their destruction from the tsunami , with the sea penetrating about 150 m inland . Calculated travel times for the tsunami waves of 1 November 1755 Shocks from the earthquake were felt throughout Europe as far as Finland and North Africa , and according to some sources even in Greenland , and the Caribbean . Tsunamis as tall as 20 metres ( 66 ft ) swept the coast of North Africa , and struck Martinique and Barbados across the Atlantic . A three - metre ( ten - foot ) tsunami hit Cornwall on the southern English coast . Galway , on the west coast of Ireland , was also hit , resulting in partial destruction of the `` Spanish Arch '' section of the city wall . At Kinsale , several vessels were whirled round in the harbor , and water poured into the marketplace . In 2015 , it was revealed that the tsunami waves may have reached the coast of Brazil , then a colony of Portugal . Such a hypothesis was raised by reviewing letters sent by Brazilian authorities at the time of the earthquake . These letters describe damage and destruction caused by gigantic waves . Although seismologists and geologists have always agreed that the epicentre was in the Atlantic to the West of the Iberian Peninsula , its exact location has been a subject of considerable debate . Early hypotheses had proposed the Gorringe Ridge until simulations showed that a source closer to the shore of Portugal was required to comply with the observed effects of the tsunami . A seismic reflection survey of the ocean floor along the Azores -- Gibraltar Transform Fault has revealed a 50 km - long thrust structure southwest of Cape St. Vincent , with a dip - slip throw of more than 1 km . This structure may have created the primary tectonic event . Casualties and damage ( edit ) The ruins of the Carmo Convent , which was destroyed in the Lisbon earthquake . Economic historian Álvaro Pereira estimated that of Lisbon 's population at the time , of approximately 200,000 people , some 30,000 -- 40,000 were killed ; another 10,000 may have lost their lives in Morocco . However , a 2009 study of contemporary reports relating to the 1 November event found them vague and difficult to separate from reports of another local series of earthquakes on 18 -- 19 November . Pereira estimated the total death toll in Portugal , Spain and Morocco from the earthquake and the resulting fires and tsunami at 40,000 to 50,000 people . Eighty - five percent of Lisbon 's buildings were destroyed , including famous palaces and libraries , as well as most examples of Portugal 's distinctive 16th - century Manueline architecture . Several buildings that had suffered little earthquake damage were destroyed by the subsequent fire . The new Lisbon opera house ( the `` Ópera do Tejo '' ) , opened just six months before , burned to the ground . The Royal Ribeira Palace , which stood just beside the Tagus river in the modern square of Terreiro do Paço , was destroyed by the earthquake and tsunami . Inside , the 70,000 - volume royal library as well as hundreds of works of art , including paintings by Titian , Rubens , and Correggio , were lost . The royal archives disappeared together with detailed historical records of explorations by Vasco da Gama and other early navigators . The palace of Henrique de Meneses , 3rd Marquis of Louriçal , which housed an invaluable library of 18,000 books , was also destroyed . The earthquake damaged several major churches in Lisbon , namely the Lisbon Cathedral , the Basilicas of São Paulo , Santa Catarina , São Vicente de Fora , and the Misericórdia Church . The Royal Hospital of All Saints ( the largest public hospital at the time ) in the Rossio square was consumed by fire and hundreds of patients burned to death . The tomb of national hero Nuno Álvares Pereira was also lost . Visitors to Lisbon may still walk the ruins of the Carmo Convent , which were preserved to remind Lisboners of the destruction . Relief and reconstruction efforts ( edit ) Further information : Pombaline style Detail from above : Executions in the aftermath of the Lisbon earthquake . At least 34 looters were hanged in the chaotic aftermath of the disaster . As a warning against looting , King Joseph I of Portugal ordered gallows to be constructed in several parts of the city . The royal family escaped unharmed from the catastrophe : King Joseph I of Portugal and the court had left the city , after attending mass at sunrise , fulfilling the wish of one of the king 's daughters to spend the holiday away from Lisbon . After the catastrophe , Joseph I developed a fear of living within walls , and the court was accommodated in a huge complex of tents and pavilions in the hills of Ajuda , then on the outskirts of Lisbon . The king 's claustrophobia never waned , and it was only after Joseph 's death that his daughter Maria I of Portugal began building the royal Ajuda Palace , which still stands on the site of the old tented camp . Like the king , the prime minister Sebastião de Melo ( 1st Marquis of Pombal ) survived the earthquake . When asked what was to be done , Pombal reportedly replied `` Bury the dead and heal the living '' , and set about organizing relief and rehabilitation efforts . Firefighters were sent to extinguish the raging flames , and teams of workers and ordinary citizens were ordered to remove the thousands of corpses before disease could spread . Contrary to custom and against the wishes of the Church , many corpses were loaded onto barges and buried at sea beyond the mouth of the Tagus . To prevent disorder in the ruined city , the Portuguese Army was deployed and gallows were constructed at high points around the city to deter looters ; more than thirty people were publicly executed . The army prevented many able - bodied citizens from fleeing , pressing them into relief and reconstruction work . The king and the prime minister immediately launched efforts to rebuild the city . On 4 December 1755 , little more than a month after the earthquake , Manuel da Maia , chief engineer to the realm , presented his plans for the re-building of Lisbon . Maia presented four options from abandoning Lisbon to building a completely new city . The first plan was to rebuild the old city using re-cycled materials ; this was the cheapest option . The second and third plans proposed widening certain streets . The fourth option boldly proposed razing the entire Baixa quarter and `` laying out new streets without restraint '' . This last option was chosen by the king and his minister . Model of the seismically protective wooden structure called `` gaiola pombalina '' ( pombaline cage ) , developed for the reconstruction of Pombaline Lower Town In less than a year , the city was cleared of debris . Keen to have a new and perfectly ordered city , the king commissioned the construction of big squares , rectilinear , large avenues and widened streets -- the new mottos of Lisbon . The Pombaline buildings are among the earliest seismically protected constructions in Europe . Small wooden models were built for testing , and earthquakes were simulated by marching troops around them . Lisbon 's `` new '' Lower Town , known today as the Pombaline Lower Town ( Baixa Pombalina ) , is one of the city 's famed attractions . Sections of other Portuguese cities , such as the Vila Real de Santo António in Algarve , were also rebuilt along Pombaline principles . The Casa Pia , a Portuguese institution founded by Maria I ( known as A Pia , `` Maria the Pious '' ) , and organized by Police Intendant Pina Manique in 1780 , was founded following the social disarray of the 1755 Lisbon earthquake . Effect on society , economy and philosophy ( edit ) This section needs additional citations for verification . Please help improve this article by adding citations to reliable sources . Unsourced material may be challenged and removed . ( October 2016 ) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message ) The earthquake had wide - ranging effects on the lives of the populace and intelligentsia . The earthquake had struck on an important religious holiday and had destroyed almost every important church in the city , causing anxiety and confusion amongst the citizens of a staunch and devout Roman Catholic country . Theologians and philosophers focused and speculated on the religious cause and message , seeing the earthquake as a manifestation of divine judgment . Economy ( edit ) A 2009 study estimated that the earthquake cost between 32 and 48 percent of Portugal 's GDP . Also , `` in spite of strict controls , prices and wages remained volatile in the years after the tragedy . The recovery from the earthquake also led to a rise in the wage premium of construction workers . More significantly , the earthquake became an opportunity to reform the economy and to reduce the economic semi-dependency vis - à - vis Britain . '' Philosophy ( edit ) Allegory of the 1755 Earthquake , by João Glama Strobërle ( who depicted himself standing on a pile of rubble on the lower - right corner ) . The painting depicts , on the upper - left corner , an angel holding a fiery sword ( a personification of divine judgement ) . The earthquake and its fallout strongly influenced the intelligentsia of the European Age of Enlightenment . The noted writer - philosopher Voltaire used the earthquake in Candide and in his Poème sur le désastre de Lisbonne ( `` Poem on the Lisbon disaster '' ) . Voltaire 's Candide attacks the notion that all is for the best in this , `` the best of all possible worlds '' , a world closely supervised by a benevolent deity . The Lisbon disaster provided a counterexample . As Theodor Adorno wrote , `` ( t ) he earthquake of Lisbon sufficed to cure Voltaire of the theodicy of Leibniz '' ( Negative Dialectics 361 ) . In the later twentieth century , following Adorno , the 1755 earthquake has sometimes been compared to the Holocaust as a catastrophe that transformed European culture and philosophy . Jean - Jacques Rousseau was also influenced by the devastation following the earthquake , whose severity he believed was due to too many people living within the close quarters of the city . Rousseau used the earthquake as an argument against cities as part of his desire for a more naturalistic way of life . Immanuel Kant published three separate texts on the Lisbon earthquake . As a younger man , fascinated with the earthquake , he collected all the information available to him in news pamphlets , and used it to formulate a theory of the causes of earthquakes . Kant 's theory , which involved the shifting of huge subterranean caverns filled with hot gases , was ( though ultimately shown to be incorrect ) one of the first systematic modern attempts to explain earthquakes by positing natural , rather than supernatural , causes . According to Walter Benjamin , Kant 's slim early book on the earthquake `` probably represents the beginnings of scientific geography in Germany . And certainly the beginnings of seismology . '' Werner Hamacher has claimed that the earthquake 's consequences extended into the vocabulary of philosophy , making the common metaphor of firm `` grounding '' for philosophers ' arguments shaky and uncertain : `` Under the impression exerted by the Lisbon earthquake , which touched the European mind in one ( of ) its more sensitive epochs , the metaphor of ground and tremor completely lost their apparent innocence ; they were no longer merely figures of speech '' ( 263 ) . Hamacher claims that the foundational certainty of Descartes ' philosophy began to shake following the Lisbon earthquake . Politics ( edit ) The earthquake had a major impact on Portuguese politics . The prime minister was the favorite of the king , but the aristocracy despised him as an upstart son of a country squire ( although Prime Minister Sebastião de Melo is known today as Marquis of Pombal , the title was only granted in 1770 , fifteen years after the earthquake ) . The prime minister in turn disliked the old nobles , whom he considered corrupt and incapable of practical action . Before 1 November 1755 there was a constant struggle for power and royal favor , but the competent response of the Marquis of Pombal effectively severed the power of the old aristocratic factions . However , silent opposition and resentment of King Joseph I began to rise , which would culminate with the attempted assassination of the king and the subsequent elimination of the powerful Duke of Aveiro and the Távora family . Development of seismology ( edit ) The prime minister 's response was not limited to the practicalities of reconstruction . He ordered a query sent to all parishes of the country regarding the earthquake and its effects . Questions included : At what time did the earthquake begin , and how long did the earthquake last ? Did you perceive the shock to be greater from one direction than another ? Example , from north to south ? Did buildings seem to fall more to one side than the other ? How many people died and were any of them distinguished ? Did the sea rise or fall first , and how many hands did it rise above the normal ? If fire broke out , how long did it last and what damage did it cause ? The answers to these and other questions are still archived in the Torre do Tombo , the national historical archive . Studying and cross-referencing the priests ' accounts , modern scientists were able to reconstruct the event from a scientific perspective . Without the questionnaire designed by the Marquis of Pombal , this would have been impossible . Because the marquis was the first to attempt an objective scientific description of the broad causes and consequences of an earthquake , he is regarded as a forerunner of modern seismological scientists . The geological causes of this earthquake and the seismic activity in the region continue to be discussed and debated by contemporary scientists .

"The 1755 Lisbon earthquake, also known as the Great Lisbon earthquake, occurred in the Kingdom of Portugal on the morning of Saturday, 1 November, the holy day of All Saints' Day, at around 09:40 local time.[2] In combination with subsequent fires and a tsunami, the earthquake almost totally destroyed Lisbon and adjoining areas. Seismologists today estimate the Lisbon earthquake had a magnitude in the range 8.5–9.0[3][4] on the moment magnitude scale, with its epicentre in the Atlantic Ocean about 200 km (120 mi) west-southwest of Cape St. Vincent. Estimates place the death toll in Lisbon alone between 10,000 and 100,000 people,[5] making it one of the deadliest earthquakes in history."

All were founded by rock musician Sammy Hagar . Contents ( hide ) 1 Cantina 2 Tequila 3 Footnotes 4 External links Cantina ( edit ) Hagar performing at the Cabo Wabo Hagar , already a successful rock musician , visited the Mexican town of Cabo San Lucas in the early 1980s . Hagar joined Van Halen in July 1985 after the departure of its former singer , David Lee Roth . Seeking a place for himself and his friends to relax and play music , he convinced the Van Halen members to partner in opening a large bar , restaurant , and performance space . Launched in April 1990 , the cantina was initially a financial failure , leading Hagar to buy out his bandmates . Under new management , the bar became popular with both locals and tourists as the town quickly grew into a major resort . In 2004 , after plans fell through to open in Las Vegas , Hagar opened a second location in the basement of the historic Harvey 's casino on the south shore of Lake Tahoe . A third location was opened in Fresno , California in 2008 , but had its license pulled by Hagar at the beginning of 2009 . Cabo Wabo Las Vegas opened in The Miracle Mile shopping center at Planet Hollywood in November 2009 . The club typically attracts an older adult clientele with its mostly rock music selection . Hagar claims he coined the name after watching a man walk unsteadily along a local beach after a heavy night 's partying . Using the town 's nickname , Cabo ( which means `` cape '' in Spanish ) , and shortening `` wobble '' to `` wabo '' he said of the man that he was doing the `` Cabo wabo . '' Hagar later used the phrase in his lyrics and title for the Van Halen song . In 1990 he hired Noel Vestri , an innovator in computer graphic designs ( including work on Vans Tennis Shoes ) to design a logo for the brand , which is still used today . Tequila ( edit ) Patrons drinking in a portion of the cantina In the late 1990s , Hagar began selling his patrons a house brand of hand - made tequila he commissioned from a family - owned distillery in the state of Jalisco . In 1999 , a wine importer from Napa Valley began to import the tequila into the United States . An instant success , sales rose from 37,000 cases the first year to 140,000 cases in 2006 , making it the second - best selling premium tequila in the United States . Several of the Cabo Wabo offerings have performed quite well at international spirit ratings competitions . For example , the añejo offering received three silver , one gold and one double gold medal at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition between 2008 and 2012 . Its reposado tequila received a score of 92 from the 2008 Beverage Testing Institute . In May 2007 it was announced that Hagar would sell an 80 % interest in Cabo Wabo Tequila to Gruppo Campari , the world 's sixth - largest spirits company , for $80 million . Skyy Spirits of San Francisco , a vodka producer and subsidiary of Gruppo Campari , planned to market Cabo Wabo globally , with continued participation by Hagar . Gerry Ruvo , president and chief executive of Skyy Spirits , said , `` Sammy has done a fantastic job building the brand , so we are going to obviously spend time with him and work with him to continue our efforts to take the brand to an even larger level , both here in the US and , more important , globally . '' Ruvo said Great Britain , Spain , Australia , Southeast Asia , Japan , Germany and Italy are considered key expansion markets for tequila . Footnotes ( edit ) Jump up ^ `` Cabo Wabo '' .

6868323363629151253 | Hypercapnia | Hypercapnia - wikipedia Hypercapnia Jump to : navigation , search Hypercapnia Carbon dioxide Classification and external resources Specialty Pulmonology ICD - 10 R06. 8 ICD - 9 - CM 786.09 DiseasesDB 95 MeSH D006935 ( edit on Wikidata ) Hypercapnia , also known as hypercarbia and CO retention , is a condition of abnormally elevated carbon dioxide ( CO ) levels in the blood . Carbon dioxide is a gaseous product of the body 's metabolism and is normally expelled through the lungs . Hypercapnia normally triggers a reflex which increases breathing and access to oxygen ( O ) , such as arousal and turning the head during sleep . A failure of this reflex can be fatal , for example as a contributory factor in sudden infant death syndrome . Hypercapnia is the opposite of hypocapnia , the state of having abnormally reduced levels of carbon dioxide in the blood . The word is from the Greek hyper = `` above '' or `` too much '' and kapnos = `` smoke '' . Contents ( hide ) 1 Signs and symptoms 2 Causes 3 Diagnosis 3.1 Laboratory values 3.2 Tolerance 4 During diving 4.1 Failure to adequately eliminate CO 4.1. 1 Skip breathing 4.1. 2 Rebreathers 5 MRI 6 Names 7 See also 8 References Signs and symptoms ( edit ) Main symptoms of Carbon dioxide toxicity , by increasing volume percent in air . Symptoms and signs of early hypercapnia include flushed skin , full pulse , tachypnea , dyspnea , extrasystoles , muscle twitches , hand flaps , reduced neural activity , and possibly a raised blood pressure . According to other sources , symptoms of mild hypercapnia might include headache , confusion and lethargy . Hypercapnia can induce increased cardiac output , an elevation in arterial blood pressure , and a propensity toward arrhythmias . Hypercapnia may increase pulmonary capillary resistance . In severe hypercapnia ( generally PaCO greater than 10 kPa or 75 mmHg ) , symptomatology progresses to disorientation , panic , hyperventilation , convulsions , unconsciousness , and eventually death . Causes ( edit ) Hypercapnia is generally caused by hypoventilation , lung disease , or diminished consciousness . It may also be caused by exposure to environments containing abnormally high concentrations of carbon dioxide , such as from volcanic or geothermal activity , or by rebreathing exhaled carbon dioxide . It can also be an initial effect of administering supplemental oxygen on a patient with sleep apnea . In this situation the hypercapnia can also be accompanied by respiratory acidosis . Diagnosis ( edit ) Laboratory values ( edit ) Hypercapnia is generally defined as a blood gas carbon dioxide level over 45 mmHg . Since carbon dioxide is in equilibrium with carbonic acid in the blood , hypercapnia can drive serum pH down , resulting in a respiratory acidosis . Clinically , the effect of hypercapnia on pH is estimated using the ratio of the arterial pressure of carbon dioxide to the concentration of bicarbonate ion , P CO / ( HCO ) . Tolerance ( edit ) Tolerance to increased atmospheric CO concentration % CO in inspired air Expected tolerance for useful activity on continued exposure to elevated CO Duration Major limitation 0.04 lifetime normal atmosphere 0.5 lifetime no detectable limitations 1.0 lifetime 1.5 > 1 month mild respiratory stimulation 2.0 > 1 month 2.5 > 1 month 3.0 > 1 month moderate respiratory stimulation 3.5 > 1 week 4.0 > 1 week moderate respiratory stimulation , exaggerated respiratory response to exercise 4.5 > 8 hours 5.0 > 4 hours prominent respiratory stimulus , exaggerated respiratory response to exercise 5.5 > 1 hours 6.0 > 0.5 hours prominent respiratory stimulus , exaggerated respiratory response to exercise , beginnings of mental confusion 6.5 > 0.25 hours 7.0 > 0.1 hours limitation by dyspnea and mental confusion During Diving ( edit ) Normal respiration in divers results in alveolar hypoventilation resulting in inadequate CO elimination or hypercapnia . Lanphier 's work at the US Navy Experimental Diving Unit answered the question , `` Why do n't divers breathe enough ? '' : Higher inspired oxygen ( PiO ) at 4 atm ( 400 kPa ) accounted for not more than 25 % of the elevation in end tidal CO ( etCO ) above values found at the same work rate when breathing air just below the surface . Increased work of breathing accounted for most of the elevation of PACO ( alveolar gas equation ) in exposures above 1 atm ( 100 kPa ) , as indicated by the results when helium was substituted for nitrogen at 4 atm ( 400 kPa ) . Inadequate ventilatory response to exertion was indicated by the fact that , despite resting values in the normal range , PetCO rose markedly with exertion even when the divers breathed air at a depth of only a few feet . Failure to adequately eliminate CO ( edit ) There is a variety of reasons for carbon dioxide not being expelled completely when the diver exhales : The diver is exhaling into a vessel that does not allow all the CO to escape to the environment , such as a long snorkel , full face diving mask , or diving helmet , and the diver then re-inhales from that vessel , causing increased dead space . The carbon dioxide scrubber in the diver 's rebreather is failing to remove sufficient carbon dioxide from the loop ( Higher inspired CO ) . The diver is over-exercising , producing excess carbon dioxide due to elevated metabolic activity . The density of the breathing gas is higher at depth , so the effort required to fully inhale and exhale has increased , making breathing more difficult and less efficient ( high work of breathing ) . The higher gas density also causes gas mixing within the lung to be less efficient , thus increasing the dead space . The diver is deliberately hypoventilating , known as `` skip breathing '' ( see below ) . Skip breathing ( edit ) Skip breathing is a controversial technique to conserve breathing gas when using open - circuit scuba , which consists of briefly holding one 's breath between inhalation and exhalation ( i.e. , `` skipping '' a breath ) . It leads to CO not being exhaled efficiently . There is also an increased risk of burst lung ( pulmonary barotrauma of ascent ) if the breath is held while ascending . It is particularly counterproductive with a rebreather , where the act of breathing pumps the gas around the `` loop '' , pushing carbon dioxide through the scrubber and mixing freshly injected oxygen . Rebreathers ( edit ) In closed circuit SCUBA ( rebreather ) diving , exhaled carbon dioxide must be removed from the breathing system , usually by a scrubber containing a solid chemical compound with a high affinity for CO , such as soda lime . If not removed from the system , it may be re-inhaled , causing an increase in the inhaled concentration . Mri ( edit ) The hypercapnic state is routinely used to calibrate blood - oxygen - level dependent functional magnetic resonance imaging ( BOLD fMRI ) , a modality that is sensitive to changes in blood oxygenation . However , this calibration crucially relies on the assumption that hypercapnia has no effect on neuronal function , which is a matter of debate . Names ( edit ) The spelling hypercapnea is occasionally seen in published medical articles ( 44 results in a PubMed search in 2016 ) , but it is not entered in major dictionaries and is not tied to any etymology that involves the - pnea suffix . It is most likely a misspelling by writers who misapprehend that the word hypercapnia ends in the same suffix that apnea does .

This article is a list of national anthem performers at the Super Bowl . The U.S. national anthem ( `` The Star - Spangled Banner '' ) has been performed at all but one Super Bowl since its first year in 1967 ; Vikki Carr sang `` America the Beautiful '' in place of the anthem at Super Bowl XI in 1977 . Since Super Bowl XVI in 1982 , famous singers or music groups have performed the anthem at the vast majority of Super Bowl games . Beginning with Super Bowl XLIII in 2009 , `` America the Beautiful '' is sung before the national anthem every year . Some early Super Bowls featured marching bands performing the anthem , and the recitation of the Pledge of Allegiance .

It was released as a single a few weeks later , appeared on the album Whitney : The Greatest Hits , and was re-released as a single in 2001 shortly after the September 11 attacks . The 1992 performance marked the first time American Sign Language was used alongside the lead singer . Faith Hill performed the anthem at Super Bowl XXXIV in 2000 . It became popular in country radio . Following the September 11 attacks , her version entered the country singles chart at number 35 , despite not being released as an official single , and reentered the same chart at number 49 in July 2002 . At Super Bowl XLVIII in 2014 , in an emotional and groundbreaking performance , soprano Renée Fleming became the first opera singer to perform the national anthem , scoring the highest ratings for a Fox Network program in its history , and the second - highest ratings for any television program in history . Controversies ( edit ) Just days after Super Bowl XXV , a report surfaced that Whitney Houston lip synced her performance . It was confirmed that she was actually singing into a dead microphone , but the performance heard in the stadium and on television was prerecorded . Since 1993 , the NFL has required performers to supply a backup track . This came after Garth Brooks walked out of the stadium prior to his XXVII performance . Only 45 minutes before kickoff , he refused to take the stage , due to a dispute with NBC . Brooks requested that the network premiere his new music video `` We Shall Be Free '' during the pregame . The network chose not to air the video , due to content some felt was disturbing imagery . Brooks had also refused to pre-record the anthem , which meant the league had nothing to play if he left . Television producers spotted Jon Bon Jovi in the grandstands , and were prepared to use him as a replacement . After last - minute negotiations , NBC agreed to air a clip of the video during the broadcast of the game , and Brooks was coaxed back into the stadium and sang . Following the `` wardrobe malfunction '' controversy during Super Bowl XXXVIII in 2004 , all scheduled performers for Super Bowl XXXIX were chosen under heavy scrutiny . Game organizers decided not to use a popular music vocalist . The combined choirs of the U.S. Military Academy , the Naval Academy , Air Force Academy , Coast Guard Academy , and the U.S. Army Herald Trumpets were invited to perform . This was the first time since the second inauguration of President Richard Nixon in 1973 that all four service academies sang together . Two days after Super Bowl XLIII , it was revealed that Jennifer Hudson also had lip synced . At the beginning of Super Bowl XLV , Christina Aguilera sang the lyrics incorrectly . Instead of singing `` O'er the ramparts we watched , were so gallantly streaming '' , the pop star sang `` What so proudly we watched at the twilight 's last gleaming '' . According to the New York Times , she also changed `` gleaming '' to `` reaming '' . Other patriotic performances ( edit ) The Sandy Hook Elementary School Chorus performs at Super Bowl XLVII . The following Super Bowls featured other patriotic performances besides the national anthem . Since 2009 , `` America the Beautiful '' is sung before the national anthem . Pledge of Allegiance 1969 : Apollo 8 crew 1970 : Apollo astronauts 1973 : Apollo 17 crew `` America the Beautiful '' 1977 : Vikki Carr ( in place of the national anthem ) 2001 : Ray Charles 2002 : Mary J.

As per the Constitution of India , the governor is the state 's de jure head , but de facto executive authority rests with the chief minister . Following elections to the Uttar Pradesh Legislative Assembly , the governor usually invites the party ( or coalition ) with a majority of seats to form the government . The governor appoints the chief minister , whose council of ministers are collectively responsible to the assembly . Given that he has the confidence of the assembly , the chief minister 's term is for five years and is subject to no term limits . On 26 January 1950 Govind Ballabh Pant , Premier of United Provinces , became the first Chief Minister of the newly renamed Uttar Pradesh . Including him , 11 out of UP 's 21 chief ministers belonged to the Indian National Congress . Among these is V.P. Singh , a future Prime Minister of India , as was Charan Singh of the Rashtriya Lok Dal . UP has also had two women chief ministers -- Sucheta Kriplani and Mayawati . Akhilesh Yadav of the Samajwadi Party served as the Chief Minister of Uttar Pradesh from 2012 to 2017 , having assumed office at the age of 38 , he is the youngest person to have held the office .

7737162695012373804 | Statue of Freedom | Statue of Freedom - wikipedia Statue of Freedom Jump to : navigation , search Not to be confused with Statue of Liberty . Statue of Freedom ( 1857 -- 62 ) The Statue of Freedom , also known as Armed Freedom or simply Freedom , is a bronze statue designed by Thomas Crawford ( 1814 -- 1857 ) that , since 1863 , has crowned the dome of the U.S. Capitol building in Washington , D.C. Originally named Freedom Triumphant in War and Peace , a U.S. government publication now states that the statue `` is officially known as the Statue of Freedom '' . The statue depicts a female figure wearing a military helmet and holding a sheathed sword in her right hand and a laurel wreath and shield in her left . Contents ( hide ) 1 Description 2 History 2.1 Design 2.2 Execution 2.3 Restoration 3 Use of Freedom 's image 4 See also 5 References 6 External links Description ( edit ) The Statue of Freedom is a colossal bronze standing figure 19 ⁄ feet ( 5.9 m ) tall and weighing approximately 15,000 pounds ( 6,800 kg ) . Her crest peaks at 288 feet ( 88 m ) above the east front plaza of the U.S. Capitol . She is a female , allegorical figure whose right hand holds the hilt of a sheathed sword , while a laurel wreath of victory and the Shield of the United States are clasped in her left hand . Her chiton is secured by a brooch inscribed `` U.S. '' and is partially covered by a heavy , Native American -- style fringed blanket thrown over her left shoulder . She faces east towards the main entrance of the building and the rising Sun . She wears a military helmet adorned with stars and an eagle 's head which is itself crowned by an umbrella - like crest of feathers . Although not actually called `` Columbia '' , she shares many of her iconic characteristics . Freedom stands atop a cast - iron globe encircled with one of the national mottoes , E pluribus unum . The lower part of the base is decorated with fasces and wreaths . Ten bronze points tipped with platinum are attached to her headdress , shoulders , and shield for protection from lightning . History ( edit ) Design ( edit ) A monumental statue for the top of the national Capitol appeared in architect Thomas U. Walter 's original drawing for the new cast - iron dome , which was authorized in 1855 . Walter 's drawing showed the outline of a statue representing the Goddess of Liberty ; Crawford proposed instead an allegorical figure of Freedom Triumphant in War and Peace . Crawford was commissioned to design Freedom in 1854 and executed the plaster model for the statue in his studio in Rome . Mississippian U.S. Senator and U.S. Secretary of War Jefferson Davis ( who would later become President of the Confederacy ) was in charge of the Capitol construction and its decorations . According to David Hackett Fischer in his book Liberty and Freedom , Crawford 's statue was ... ... very close to Jefferson Davis 's ideas in every way but one ... . Above the crown he ( had ) added a liberty cap , the old Roman symbol of an emancipated slave . It seemed a direct affront to a militant slaveholder , and Jefferson Davis exploded with rage . The northern sculptor and the southern slaveholder had already clashed over a liberty cap in the interior decoration of the Capitol . Davis sent his aide , Captain Montgomery Meigs , with orders to remove the cap , saying that `` its history renders it inappropriate to a people who were born free and would not be enslaved '' . A military helmet , with an American eagle head and crest of feathers , replaced the cap in the sculpture 's final version . ( Today many casual observers take the statue , with its eagle and feathers , to be a Native American . ) Execution ( edit ) Crawford died in 1857 before the full - size plaster model left his studio . The model , packed into six crates , was shipped from Italy in a small sailing vessel in the spring of 1858 . During the voyage , the ship began to leak and stopped in Gibraltar for repairs . After leaving Gibraltar , the ship began leaking again to the point that it could go no farther than Bermuda , where the model was stored until other transportation could be arranged . Half of the crates finally arrived in New York City in December , but all sections were not in Washington , D.C. until late March 1859 . Beginning in 1860 , the statue was cast in five main sections by Clark Mills , whose bronze foundry was located on the outskirts of Washington . Work was halted in 1861 because of the Civil War , but by the end of 1862 , the statue was finished and temporarily displayed on the Capitol grounds . The cost of the statue , exclusive of installation , was $23,796.82 . While Freedom was being cast at Mills ' foundry , the foreman in charge of the casting went on strike . Instead of paying him the higher wages he demanded , Mills turned the project over to Philip Reid , one of the slaves working at the facility . Reid presided over the rest of the casting and assembly of the figure . Late in 1863 , construction of the dome was sufficiently advanced for the installation of the statue , which was hoisted by former slaves in sections and assembled atop the cast - iron pedestal . The final section , the figure 's head and shoulders , was raised on December 2 , 1863 , to a salute of 35 guns answered by the guns of the 12 forts around Washington , D.C. Restoration ( edit ) The Statue of Freedom was removed from the dome for five months in 1993 . President Bill Clinton during the ceremony for the returning of the Statue of Freedom to the top of the Capitol On May 9 , 1993 , after being in place almost 130 years , the statue was brought down from its pedestal by helicopter for restoration , giving tourists a chance to see the statue up close . The work was needed because of extensive pitting and corrosion on the surface of the bronze and because of a crack and rusting on the cast - iron pedestal . The United States Capitol Preservation Commission provided the $780,000 in privately raised funds . The work was performed by New Arts Foundry of Baltimore , Maryland . The cast - iron pedestal was restored in place atop the dome . The metal was stripped of paint , and the wreaths and fasces were removed to ensure that they were thoroughly cleaned and coated . The crack was permanently repaired , and the entire pedestal was primed and painted with a color specially mixed to match the statue . Statue of Freedom 's plaster model in the Capitol Visitor Center . Restoration of the statue and the pedestal was completed in approximately four months . The Statue of Freedom was returned to its pedestal by helicopter on October 23 , 1993 , amid the celebration of the bicentennial of the U.S. Capitol . Since then , every 2 -- 3 years , the statue undergoes two weeks of cleaning and recoating as necessary . The plaster model of the statue , in storage for 25 years , was reassembled and restored in the basement rotunda of the Russell Senate Office Building , where it was returned to permanent public display in January 1993 . The plaster model was relocated to the Emancipation Hall of the Capitol Visitor Center , which provides more visitors access to look at the statue 's details . Use of Freedom 's image ( edit ) The well - known Statue of Freedom has appeared on several official designs , akin to the Statue of Liberty . The head of the statue is depicted on a postage stamp ( 1923 , USA Scott No. 573 ) , which was re-issued in 2006 . The entire statue is depicted on a stamp commemorating the 150th anniversary of Washington , D.C. ( 1950 , USA Scott No. 989 ) . It can also be found on the reverse side of the Iraq Campaign Medal decoration authorized to be awarded to members of the U.S. military who deploy to Iraq in direct support of Operation Iraqi Freedom . The Global War on Terrorism Civilian Service Medal also depicts the statue on the obverse ( front face ) of the medal . USA $5 postage , 1923 . Iraq Campaign Medal , 2004 .

"The Statue of Freedom, also known as Armed Freedom or simply Freedom, is a bronze statue designed by Thomas Crawford (1814–1857) that, since 1863, has crowned the dome of the U.S. Capitol building in Washington, D.C. Originally named Freedom Triumphant in War and Peace, a U.S. government publication now states that the statue \"is officially known as the Statue of Freedom\".[1] The statue depicts a female figure wearing a military helmet and holding a sheathed sword in her right hand and a laurel wreath and shield in her left.[2]"

Both of these titles were published in the USA as part of the May 2014 How to Train Your Dragon Special Edition : With Brand New Short Stories ! paperback movie tie - in edition . A picture book , Hiccup the Seasick Viking published in 2000 , is not considered a part of the series despite featuring the same character of Hiccup . An illustrative guide to the dragon world , titled The Incomplete Book of Dragons , was released in June 2014 ( in the US it is titled The Complete Book of Dragons ) . Cowell cites the Scottish Inner Hebrides islands and stories of Scandinavian Scotland as inspirations for the book . Characters ( edit ) Main ( edit ) Hiccup Horrendous Haddock III ( in books 0 -- 12 ) is the protagonist . He was thought to be useless and weak by everyone , including his own father . They , however did not know that brilliance was in him . He is unusual for a Viking not only physically , being very thin with bright red hair , but also intellectually as he thinks before he acts and is abnormally clever . He is one of the only people ever to understand and be able to speak Dragonese , the language of the dragons . Hiccup was also a very good sword fighter ( unique in that he was left - handed ) and the best Viking Hero that ever lived . An intelligent and quiet boy he was picked on the most by the bullies , but shows them that he 's a capable leader . Toothless ( in books 1 -- 12 ) is Hiccup 's hunting - dragon . He appears to be a green Common - or - Garden Dragon , although Fishlegs spread a false story that he is a near extinct , more vicious relative of the Monstrous Nightmare breed called the Toothless Daydream and possibly the offspring of the mighty dragon ruler King Daggerfangs . He is one of the King 's Lost Things . In book 11 , it is revealed he is a young Seadragonus Giganticus Maximus . Vikings ( edit ) Fishlegs ( in books 1 -- 12 ) is Hiccup 's best friend and supporting character in a number of books who is allergic to reptiles . He has a squint , asthma , his pet is the only vegetarian dragon on the planet , and is seen as a wimp , but he has shown himself to be quite cunning when he needs to be . He is also fond of poetry and wants to be a bard in later books . He is not a Hooligan by blood but an orphan who washed up on Berk 's shores as an infant , his parentage being a mystery to him until the identities of his mother and father were revealed to him in the tenth and twelfth books respectively . At the end of the final book , he founds his own tribe , the No - Names , and becomes a bard . Camicazi ( in books 3 -- 12 ) is a chatty , fierce and a deliberately confusing sword fighter from the tribe of female warriors known as the Bog - Burglars who is a supporting character in a number of books . She is very skilled at escapes and burglary . In some ways , she is complementary to Hiccup , in that since she does not think very carefully about situation , and just rushes in without thinking , so he pulls her back , and she , in return pushes him forward , convincing Hiccup to trust his instincts . Stoick the Vast ( in books 0 -- 12 ) is Hiccup 's father and leader of the Hairy Hooligans , their tribe . Unlike his son , he is incredibly strong and beefy but rather unintelligent . However , he was originally portrayed as tall and skinny in the book Hiccup : The Seasick Viking . He owned two dragons , Newtsbreath and Hookfang . Hookfang is only mentioned in the first book and Newtsbreath appears for the last time in the second books . Stoick is said to have another dragon called Bullheart who appears exclusively in the ninth book . Snotface Snotlout ( in books 1 -- 11 ) , or `` Snotlout '' , is Hiccup 's much despised cousin . He bullies and bosses the others around , especially Fishlegs and Hiccup whom he addresses as `` Hiccup the Useless and his fishlegged failure of a friend '' . He is top class at ' Bashyball ' , ' Advanced Rudery ' and ' everything else ' . His dragon is a brilliant scarlet Monstrous Nightmare named Fireworm , who because of her breed should technically belong to Hiccup ( as son of the Chief ) according to ancient Viking law . He gets killed in an attack at the end of Book 11 in an attempt to help Hiccup become King of the Wilderwest . Later , Hiccup silently forgives Snotlout for the years of rivalry between them . Upon Hiccup informing the Vikings of his sacrifice , he is posthumously honored by the Vikings as a hero . Dogsbreath the Duhbrain ( in books 1 -- 5 , 7 -- 10 ) is Snotlout 's friend and sidekick bully . He is usually seen following Snotlout 's orders , usually the difficult and tedious jobs . He is not very intelligent and does not talk much . His dragon is a Gronckle named Seaslug . Valhallarama ( in books 1 , 5 , 10 - 12 ) is Hiccup 's mother . She appears in only a few books , and is often away Questing . She once loved Humungously Hotshot the Hero and gave him a ruby heart necklace ( which turns out to be one of the King 's Lost Things ) . She reappears in Book 10 to help Hiccup become King of the Wilderwest . Gobber The Belch ( in books 1 - 12 ) is the Viking in charge of the Viking Initiation Programme ( later Pirate Training Programme ) and is described in book 5 as `` a six - and - a-half - foot axe - wielding lunatic who was not the kind of teacher you argued with '' . At the beginning of the first few books , he gives his lessons in extreme situations , such as a storm in book 2 . In later books he is an extremely loyal member of the Company of the Dragonmark ( Hiccup 's followers to become King of the Wilderwest ) . Mogadon the Meathead ( in books 1 -- 2 , 5 , 9 - 10 , 12 ) is Chief of the Meathead Tribe , close neighbors of the Hairy Hooligans . A man with a fake leg and an eyepatch , he shares a sometimes vicious rivalry with Stoick . Thuggory ( in books 1 , 9 - 12 ) is Mogadon 's son , and very like Snotlout . Although he is large , muscular , well - respected and has a huge silver Monstrous Nightmare dragon called Killer , he stands up for Hiccup and works with him in the first book . Later , in Book 10 , he becomes the first member of Hiccup 's Company of the Dragonmark ( excluding Valhallarama who founded it ) . Alvin the Treacherous ( in books 2 -- 3 , 5 , 8 -- 12 ) is Hiccup 's arch - enemy and rival to become King of the Wilderwest . He used to be Chief of the Outcast Tribe in book 2 and was again in books 9 -- 12 . He is the main antagonist in books 2 - 3 , 5 , and is joined by Excellinor the Witch ( his mother ) in books 8 - 12 . Although he is a fantastic sword fighter , he is frequently losing parts of his body such as all of his hair , a hand , a foot , a nose , and an eye ( as the results of his encounters with Hiccup ) . He is also Fishlegs ' father by Termagant . He is claimed by the Dragon Guardians . Norbert the Nutjob ( in books 4 , 7 , 12 ) is the Chief of the Hysterical Tribe , and Hiccup 's second arch - enemy . Norbert 's father , Bigjob , once went to America and retrieved a potato , but Hiccup took it to cure Fishlegs of Vorpentitis . As his name suggests , he is insane and uses his giant axe -- one gold side and one black side -- to decide everything . He appears in the last book disguised as a Wanderer , his survival never explained . Humungously Hotshot the Hero ( in books 5 , 8 , 12 ) has been trapped on the island of Lava - Louts for 15 years . He went out on a quest to find the fire stone for Hiccup 's grandfather , Old Wrinkly , so he could marry Hiccup 's mother , Valhallarama . He failed , and after Valhallarama marries Stoick the Vast eventually marries Tantrum O'UGerly , the daughter of UG the Uglithug in book 8 . Big - Boobied Bertha ( in books 3 -- 8 , 11 ) is the leader of the Bog - Burglars and the mother of Camicazi . As her name indicates , she has very large breasts and it is mentioned that `` these breasts have killed before and will kill again '' . Madguts the Murderous ( in books 5 -- 7 , 9 ) is the Chief of the Murderous Tribe . A vicious , frightening , vile smelling man covered in skull tattoos and with `` Hate '' on both his knuckles , he is considered one of the scariest men in the Barbarian Archipelago . He also never speaks ( though he spoke to Mogadon the Meathead in the fifth book ) . He has a stealth dragon stolen from him by Bertha and intends to kill her , and later tries to legally kill Stoick and Bertha in the seventh book . Both times he is stopped by Hiccup . Camicazi supposedly burgles from him regularly . Excellinor ( in books 8 -- 12 ) is Alvin 's witch of a mother . She is pure evil and wants Hiccup 's sword . It is said that she never took good care of Alvin the Treacherous and never loved him either . She was locked in a tree trunk for twenty years by UG the Uglithug . Her name was unknown until the ninth book . She is the cause of Alvin 's warts and is covered in them . She uses Vampire Spydragons as spies for her . At the end of the final book , she falls into a deep blowhole in the ground and presumably dies there . Old Wrinkly ( in books 1 -- 5 , 7 - 9 , 11 ) , 93 years old , is Valhallarama 's father and Hiccup 's grandfather . Old Wrinkly is the soothsayer and doctor of the Hairy Hooligans tribe and only trusted thinker of the Tribe . Between the beginning of Book 9 and the end of Book 11 , it is unknown what came of him . Dragons ( edit ) Horrorcow ( in books 1 -- 3 , 5 , 9 , 12 ) is Fishlegs 's hunting - dragon of the Basic Brown species . She is named ' Horror ' for effect and ' Cow ' because she is not dangerous and sleeps a lot . Fishlegs suspects she is a vegetarian . She is three times the size of Toothless and is his best dragon friend . She spends much of the series clinging in fright to Fishlegs ' head . When she climbs down from Fishleg 's head during Book 9 , she is not mentioned again until the end of the final book , explaining that she hated the violence of the war and so hides underground until it was all over . Fireworm ( in books 1 -- 3 , 5 , 8 - 9 ) is Snotlout 's completely immodest and temperamental dragon . She is a red Monstrous Nightmare and immensely dislikes Toothless , often jeering in Dragonese , prodding and attacking him . She joins the Dragon Rebellion in Book 9 . Stormfly ( in books 6 -- 12 ) is Camicazi 's dragon . Stormfly is a Mood - Dragon , allowing her to change color depending on her mood ; when angry , she will turn blue - black , and when lying , she turns purple . Stormfly is unusual in that she speaks in Norse , but she is , as Fishlegs calls her , a pathological liar making it apparent when she is lying . Toothless develops a crush on Stormfly when he meets her for the first time and throughout the series there are many scenes that involve the two dragons subtly flirting ( Stormfly lies a lot in these conversations ) . Windwalker ( in books 5 , 8 - 12 ) is fiercely loyal to Hiccup , even through terrifying situations . His type of dragon enters a chrysalis stage . It is unknown what happens to them after that . Wodensfang ( in books 9 -- 12 ) is an ancient brown dragon , living from when Hiccup Horrendous Haddock I lived . He is a wise dragon , whom Hiccup the Third meets while getting the Crown . He is able to understand and speak ( happens in the 11th book ) Norse and helps Hiccup in his quest to stop the Rebellion . In the eleventh book it is revealed that he is an extremely ancient Seadragonus Giganticus Maximus . Patience , Innocence and Arrogance ( in books 10 - 12 ) is a triple - headed Deadly Shadow dragon . He can camouflage . He is an Air dragon . He was Termagant 's ( Fishlegs 's mother 's ) riding dragon , and he swore to look after Fishlegs when he was a baby and set out to sea . The two are reunited in book 10 and he officially becomes Fishlegs 's dragon . The three heads have individual personalities . Furious ( in books 8 - 12 ) is a Seadragonus Gigantus Maximus that started and is the leader of the Dragon Rebellion and continually tries to chase down Hiccup . He was the Dragon - Brother of Hiccup Horrendous Haddock II , and becomes Hiccup Horrendous Haddock III 's blood brother at the end of the final book , shortly before his assumed death from the poisoned Stormblade sword , which Alvin 's mother thrust into him . His assumed death is what finalizes the peace between Vikings and dragons . I say assumed death because he is seen to leap into the air at the end of the book . Plot synopsis ( edit ) Hiccup : the Seasick Viking / Hiccup : the Viking who was Seasick ( 2000 ) ( edit ) Poor little Hiccup is spooked by the sea , and he 's to make his first voyage soon -- next Tuesday . His father , Stoick the Vast , says there 's no such thing as a frightened Viking . But Hiccup 's about to find out otherwise . Hiccup 's hilarious tale shows the true meaning of bravery , and the delights that await when one faces one 's fear . This book features the first appearance of Hiccup Horrendous Haddock The Third and his father , Stoick the Vast . How to Train Your dragon ( 2004 ) ( edit ) The first book in the series , following Hiccup as he captures a dragon as a rite of passage and attempts to train him so that he will not be exiled from Berk , as its tradition . Led by Gobber the Belch , Hiccup manages to catch a small dragon , whom he names Toothless , and attempts to train it through his own methods , when the How To Train Your Dragon book was found to have only one page and therefore unhelpful . During the final part of the rite of passage Toothless offends another dragon and a fight ensues between all the dragons . As this is seen as failure to train the dragons correctly , the boys are exiled , allowed to stay one night while a storm rages . During the storm , three Sea Dragons are washed up on the shore of the island and one seems a threat to the Vikings . Hiccup is chosen to negotiate with the dragon , who has eaten one of the other dragons . However , the dragon , who calls himself the Green Death , says he is going to kill all the Vikings . While the village elders argue over how to attack the Green Death , Hiccup , the boys and their dragons start a fight between the Green Death and the other sea dragon , the Purple Death , resulting in Hiccup nearly being swallowed and having to be rescued by Toothless , killing both sea dragons in the process . Hiccup and Toothless become heroes because of their bravery . How to be a Pirate ( 2004 ) ( edit ) The sequel to How to Train Your Dragon starts during a Sword - Fighting - at - Sea lesson during a storm , but Hiccup is quite bad at sword - fighting . The fight is cut off as the boat tips over and is holed by an object , a coffin , upon which Hiccup rides back to the Isle of Berk . On the beach , it is discovered that it is the coffin of Grimbeard the Ghastly , the greatest pirate of all times and Hiccup 's great great grandfather . Soon the coffin is opened and they find out that it contains a living man , named Alvin the Treacherous , who hides his true identity under the name Alvin the Poor - but - Honest - Farmer . Alvin tells the Hooligans that he was locked in the coffin and sent out to sea by `` some very rude people '' . He claims that he discovered the coffin buried in the Peaceable country , and upon opening it , a booby - trap was set off , which cut off his right hand . He also tells the Hooligans that in the coffin , he found a riddle that tells how to find the treasure of Grimbeard the Ghastly and a map that depicts the island where the treasure is buried . They figure that the treasure is in the Isle of Skullions , an island inhabited by dragons called Skullions , that while being blind , deaf , and flightless , have a keen sense of smell . According to the riddle , the hunting dragon of the heir to the Hairy Hooligan 's tribe will sniff out the treasure . The Hooligans travel to the Isle of the Skullions , where a small treasure chest is found by Snotlout , along with Grimbeard 's famous sword , the Stormblade . However , Grimbeard has booby - trapped the chest with a smell that would wake up all of the Skullions on the island , and a brief , desperate fight with the Skullions ensues , during which Hiccup dislocates his right arm . A few of the Skullions are killed , and the Vikings escape with the treasure . Upon nearing Berk , the Hooligans begin fighting over the treasure , and as they fight , they are ambushed by a group of cannibalistic Vikings known as the Outcasts . Alvin reveals himself to be the Outcast 's chief , and another battle starts . The ship soon catches fire and sinks . Everyone abandons it , climbing on the Outcasts ' ship to continue the battle , but Hiccup , Toothless , Fishlegs , and Alvin are trapped underneath the capsized ship , kept alive with an air pocket . As the air pocket is finally destroyed by the weight of the capsized ship , Toothless finds an underwater cavern filled with air . As the party begins to explore the cavern they come to a door and upon opening it , they find it filled with mountains of gold and jewels , the real treasure of Grimbeard the Ghastly . Alvin turns on Hiccup to kill him using the newly - acquired Stormblade , the sword of Grimbeard the Ghastly . In the sword - fight that follows , Hiccup discovers that he is actually left - handed and hence why he was never good at sword - fighting . In the fight Alvin steps on a pile of treasure under which is hidden a Monstrous Strangulator , an octopus - like creature that was placed there by Grimbeard to guard his treasure . It consumes Alvin , and as it comes next for Hiccup , Hiccup tricks the creature into injecting itself with its own poison . The creature 's nervous system is destroyed and they escape , but Hiccup decides that the world is not ready for the treasure , and leaves it behind . They soon surface with the aid of Toothless , and the book ends with Hiccup , Toothless and Fishlegs all getting back to the village and finding that the Hooligans had survived and won the battle with the Outcasts but had set them free . In the epilogue , Hiccup tells us that in a secret compartment in the handle of the sword that he used to fight Alvin , he found the last will and testament of Grimbeard the Ghastly . It turns out that the sword was Grimbeard 's second - best sword . It is revealed in How to Steal a Dragon 's Sword that the sword 's name is the Dragonsword , but Old Wrinkly names it the Endeavor . How to speak Dragonese ( 2005 ) ( edit ) The third in the series starts during a Boarding - An - Enemy - Ship Lesson . Gobber explains to his students that they will practice on the easy target of a Peaceable fishing boat . Gobber warns his students not to leave the bay , or else they might have an encounter with Sharkworms . Snotlout and Dogsbreath ram their ship at Hiccup and Fishlegs ' ship ( the Hopeful Puffin ) and the ship loses course and they get lost . Fishlegs can not see through the fog , and mistakes a Roman ship for a Peaceable fishing boat , and the two are attacked by the Romans . While on board , Hiccup listens in on two men ( the Fat Consul and the Thin Prefect ) discussing their plan to steal all the dragons in the Inner Isles . Their plan was to kidnap the heirs to Bog - Burglars and Hairy Hooligans , with each kidnapping squad disguised as the other tribe , so each tribe would accuse the other of kidnapping , and while they were arguing , the Romans would be free to capture all the dragons in the Inner Isles . To save Fishlegs and escape , Hiccup secretly takes a nanodragon from the bowl of nanodragons the Fat Consul is eating , and replaces it with an Electricsquirm . The Fat Consul is electrocuted , and while all the Romans are distracted by this , Hiccup unlocks the dragon 's cages , wreaking havoc , and Hiccup and Fishlegs escape . The Thin Prefect tries to grab Hiccup 's `` How to Speak Dragonese '' Book , but it instead rips into two . Toothless gets captured . When back at Berk , Hiccup tries to tell his dad what has happened , and tells him to send a War Party to save Toothless . Stoick does not believe him , and is more worried about Hiccup 's grades . The next morning , Hiccup remembers the nanodragon he had rescued . The nanodragon tells Hiccup that his name is Ziggerastica the Living God . The nanodragon promises to do one thing for Hiccup , in return for what he did for him . During a Frightening Foreigners lesson , the Romans , poorly disguised as Bog - Burglars , kidnap Hiccup and Fishlegs and take them to Fort Sinister . There they discover Alvin the Treacherous is the Thin Prefect , who cut his way out of the dead Strangulator 's stomach , but lost his position as Chief of the Outcasts due to his hair falling out from its stomach juices . He is working with the Romans and trying to learn Dragonese . His plan is to create a dragon army that can swim down to get the treasure of Grimbeard the Ghastly ( from the previous book ) for him . Hiccup tricks the Romans into keeping them alive until the day they are supposed to be killed by gladiators . Until then , they are put in a cell , where they meet Camicazi , the wild female heir to the Bog - Burglar tribe . Hiccup calls on Ziggerastica and his army to form a plan to rescue the three of them and they are taken to the arena . Hiccup , Camicazi and Toothless are surprised to find that there are no gladiators . They realize they have filled the arena with water and find Sharkworms swimming around them . Hiccup launches his plan ( Hiccup expected gladiators on the field , so he is not sure if it will work ) . Hiccup forces Fishlegs and Camicazi to throw him into a barrel , because he has a cut , and Sharkworms are attracted to blood . As the Sharkworms destroy the barrel , Hiccup appears to fly out of the barrel , and makes the spectators believe he is Thor , and orders the Romans to leave , and to give his book back . Hiccup then appears to break the protection net with a hand gesture , and the Sharkworms attack the audience . Hiccup lands on the boat the three were on . Hiccup reveal there are armies of tiny dragons on his shirt , and they are propelling him into the air . Nanodragon armies had chewed on the protection net and the locks of the dragon cages all night . Hiccup and his friends attempt to escape in the boat , but Alvin orders the portcullis to be brought down , and the boat is destroyed . They climb into a Roman observation balloon and escape to find the search parties from both tribes . Alvin chases them but falls into the Sharkworm - infested water . After the threesome ( foursome after Toothless is rescued ) return , the two Tribes realize that their respective heirs ( and Hiccup and Camicazi ) are back , call off the fight and celebrate the return of the heirs . However , it is said at the end that during the balloon landing , one of the heroes was stung by a nanodragon called the Venomous Vorpent that Alvin had inserted into Hiccup 's book , foreshadowing events in `` How To Cheat a Dragon 's Curse . '' How to Cheat a dragon 's Curse ( 2006 ) ( edit ) This book is the fourth in the series . During a hunting - with - bows - and - arrows - on - skis expedition , Hiccup finds Fishlegs acting strangely when they spot a group of Hysterics , a tribe of scary lunatic Vikings , who chase Fishlegs . Hiccup shoots an arrow at the chief Hysteric ( known as Norbert the Nutjob ) . Hiccup and Fishlegs flee on their skis , with the Hysterics behind in hot pursuit . Hiccup falls off the side of a cliff . At first One - eye , the Saber - Toothed Driver dragon which had pulled Hiccup and Fishlegs to the top of the mountain , refuses to rescue Hiccup ; but when Hiccup points out that if he does not save him , Snotface Snotlout ( who had previously treated One - eye very badly , and given him a good whipping ) will become Chief of the Tribe , One - eye saves Hiccup after all , and he and Fishlegs return to the village . Hiccup is worried about Fishlegs , and takes him to see Old Wrinkly. Old Wrinkly examines Fishlegs , and tells Hiccup that Fishlegs is suffering from Vorpentitis , a disease caused by the sting of a Venomous Vorpent , and the only cure to this disease is a vegetable called a potato , which can only be found in America . Hiccup does not believe him , because all Vikings , except the Hysterics , believe that the world is as flat as a pancake , and there is NO such place as America . Old Wrinkly tells Hiccup that Norbert the Nutjob 's father , Bigjob , had actually gone to America and made friends with the Americans , which he called `` feather people '' , and brought back the potato to prove he was right about America being true . However , he was attacked by a Doomfang. Old Wrinkly predicts the potato might be in the Hysteric Territories , and tells him that he must bring it back before ten o'clock the next morning , or else Fishlegs will die . Hiccup brings Camicazi and Toothless ( Toothless was supposed to be hibernating like the other hunting dragons , but he did not dig his hibernating hole deep enough , which could cause him to sleep for a long time , so Hiccup dug him up ) on the journey to Hysteria , with One - eye pulling them on a sleigh . The two children enter through the roof of the great hall where the Hysterics are celebrating Freya'sday Friday . They lower Camicazi through the chimney , but Hiccup accidentally falls into a giant pot of onion soup , and gets discovered by Norbert the Nutjob . Hiccup makes Norbert show him the potato by pretending not to believe in the potato . Norbert finally reveals his father 's preserved body , and in Norbert 's father 's hand is a glass case with the frozen potato which has an arrow stuck in it . Hiccup tries to persuade Norbert to give him the potato , but Norbert refuses . Norbert soon gets annoyed with Hiccup , and decides whether Hiccup should or should not die by throwing his double - sided axe into the air . If it lands on the black side , Hiccup will die , if it lands on the golden side , he will live . Hiccup cheats by catching the axe just as it is about to land on the black . Norbert is annoyed that Hiccup cheated , and locks him in the cage . After the Hysterics fall asleep , Camicazi picks the lock of Hiccup 's cage ; freeing him ( Toothless took the key to cage from Norbert 's pocket , but swallows it , and accidentally sets fire to a carpet ) . Camicazi lowers herself down with a rope and grabs the potato , but sees Norbert 's ticking - thing in the glass case and takes that too . Suddenly , the preserved body of Norbert 's father falls on a row of Squealers ( a type of dragon that Vikings use as an alarm ) , who give ear - piercing screams . All the Hysterics suddenly wake up . Hiccup , Camicazi and Toothless get out of the Hall through the chimney . The three , along with One - eye , escape in Hiccup 's boat , but get attacked by the Doomfang , which lives under a frozen sea called the `` Wrath of Thor '' . The Doomfang breaks out of the ice and uses its tongue to grab the potato and eats it . Hiccup realises that his mission has failed and guesses that the Doomfang had Vorpentitis , as it showed the symptoms . Once he gets back , he realises that Fishlegs had only caught a cold , and Old Wrinkly had made a mistake . Stoick ( Hiccup had lied to Stoick saying that he was spending the night at Snotlout 's house , but instead he went to get the potato ) yells at Old Wrinky for making Hiccup go on the quest for nothing and almost get killed by Norbert . Hiccup suddenly falls on the same bed Fishlegs was lying on , and his entire body goes stiff . Old Wrinkly examines Hiccup and says that it is actually Hiccup who has Vorpentitis . Hiccup desperately tries to speak , murmuring `` Oot me ! '' , and tries to point at the arrow on the table next to him which had been stuck in the potato for a long time . Fishlegs realises that Hiccup wants him to shoot him with the arrow , which is soaked in the juices of the potato . Fishlegs shoots Hiccup on the foot , and Hiccup recovers . In the epilogue , Hiccup buries the arrow that saved his life and a seed on the end of it grows another potato which is used to cover the island with potatoes so no one dies of Vorpentitis ever again . In the epilogue , Hiccup explains that the Doomfang that ate the potato thanked Hiccup by following his boat and assisting in keeping Hiccup safe in impossible situations . How to twist a dragon 's tale ( 2007 ) ( edit ) The fifth book in the series . The story begins with the children on a herding exercise for their Pirate Training Program . They are distracted by a huge fire rolling down the mountainside . The fire is found to be the doing of the Exterminators , big evil fire dragons . While most of the kids escape on Gobber 's riding dragon , Goliath , before he is killed by the Exterminators , Hiccup and Gobber are left to defend themselves . Hiccup and Gobber are saved by a mysterious man in a fireproof suit riding a white dragon , whom they at first believe to be a man from the treacherous Lava - Lout tribe . The man soon reveals himself to be Humungously Hotshot , one of the greatest heroes on the planet . Although Hiccup 's father , Stoick , begins to regard Hotshot with jealousy , he hires him as Hiccup 's `` bodyguard '' . After that , Hotshot saves Hiccup from several deadly situations , all of which are later revealed to be his own doing . Later on at night , Hiccup wakes up to Hotshot looming over him with his swords , arguing with himself whether or not to kill Hiccup . He ultimately decides not to , and Hiccup asks him what he 's doing . Hotshot begins to tell Hiccup his story , of how he fell in love with a Viking woman , but her father wanted her to marry someone clever . The woman 's father sent Hotshot on an Impossible Task to find and bring back the Firestone , and the reward was the woman 's hand in marriage . Hotshot travelled to the volcano where the Firestone was hidden , but he was captured soon after by the Lava Louts . After a few weeks , he became friends with a jailkeeper named Terrific Al . He asked Terrific Al to bring a half of the ruby heart to his love because she vowed to save him if she received the ruby heart . Terrific Al told Humongous that he would bring the ruby heart to his ladylove if he promised to do something for him and disappeared for fifteen years and came back to tell Humongous Hotshot that his love threw the heart out of the window and married somebody else who had already brought back the Firestone . Terrific Al ( who mysteriously has lost a hand , half a leg , an eye and all of his hair ) told Humongous the thing he must promise to do is to kill Hiccup , stating that Hiccup is a Prince of Darkness and a Devil Child , who will send terror across the Archipelago . After Hotshot finishes his story Hiccup figures out that the woman Humungous is talking about is Hiccup 's own mother , who had thought he was dead , and that Terrific Al is really the terrible villain Alvin the Treacherous as Hiccup had guessed . Hiccup , Fishlegs , Hotshot , Camicazi , the White Dragon and the Windwalker , Hiccup 's riding dragon travel to Lava - lout Island to put the fire stone inside the volcano to stop the volcano from exploding and are attacked by Alvin riding an Exterminator . Alvin reveals the first Sharkworm he met tore out his eye , but he killed it and hid inside . However , after he got out on shore the dead Sharkworm 's mouth shut on his leg , but he carved a new one from its teeth . The volcano erupts and the Exterminators hatch . Hiccup manages to put the stone into the volcano . But on contact with the lava , the fire stone hatches into a fire dragon , revealing that the fire stone is actually an egg . The dragon eats all the Exterminators , including the one Alvin is riding , swallowing Alvin . Hiccup and his riding dragon , Windwalker , run down the island away from lava and fall into the sea . Hiccup 's father and others rescue him and everything works out well . In the epilogue , Hiccup tells us that Windwalker turns out to be his faithful flying dragon . A Hero 's Guide to Deadly dragons ( 2008 ) ( edit ) The sixth book in the series is the only one not to have How to in its title . But it is also named How not to Celebrate your Birthday . Its cover name is named only A Hero 's Guide to Deadly Dragons after Hiccup 's informative book inside this book . Hiccup is lost in the Library Labyrinth and the Driller Dragons and Madguts the Murderous are on the prowl , all because of a book ! Hiccup 's birthday is not going to be the quiet affair he might have hoped for . This book contains an open - up map of the Barbaric Archipelago , a Dragonese Dictionary in the back , Dragon Profiles and `` Conversations with Toothless '' . Hiccup wakes up that morning , wishing for a peaceful birthday . He then tries to persuade Toothless to eat his breakfast , which is spinach and drift wood . Toothless refuses , so Hiccup goes to the Finals of a Burglary Competition between the Bog - Burglars and the Hooligans alone . When Hiccup returns home , he realises Toothless has eaten three quarters of Stoick 's throne . Stoick comes in the room , and is in a bad temper because he had made a bet to Big - Boobied Bertha that he could prove that the Hooligans were just as good at Burglary as the Bog - Burglars by the end of the day , and also because Hiccup has been researching about dragons and writing in notebooks about them . He throws a tantrum , but remembers that Gobber has stolen the `` How to Train Your Dragon '' manual from the Meathead Library under the nose of the Hairy Scary Librarian . Stoick tells Hiccup that if Toothless does one more thing like this , he will banish him , and goes off to find the book . Toothless guiltily reveals that he also burned the copy of `` How To Train Your Dragon '' . Camicazi suggests that they can go to the Meathead Library , and supposedly there might be another copy of the book , and get back home `` in time for tea '' . Hiccup , Camicazi and Fishlegs go to the Island of Forget Me on a Stealth Dragon Big - Boobied Bertha had stolen from Madguts the Murderous , the Chief of the Murderous Tribe , for the bet with Stoick , to visit the Meathead Public Library . With the help of Stormfly , Camicazi 's dragon , they find the copy of `` How to Train Your Dragon '' , though it is a second edition . The Hairy Scary Librarian catches them stealing the book and fights with Camicazi and Hiccup . Fishlegs throws a book at the Hairy Scary Librarian . However , Stormfly is knocked out in the process , and awakens with no memory of who she is , and how did she get in . The Librarian , who falls onto the floor , which is full of Red Hot Itchyworms ( the worms went into his pants , tickling him ) runs toward the exit , laughing and screaming . The noise attracts Driller Dragons who are dwelling in the Library . Hiccup finds a book that was written by Hiccup Horrendous Haddock the II called A Hero 's Guide To Deadly Dragons which was exactly the same book that Hiccup the third wrote , which had been taken from him earlier that morning . He pulls the book out and the shelf opens , revealing a hole filled with Poisonous Piffleworms . Their only exit would be to go through the hole . Hiccup takes back the second edition of How to Train Your Dragon to the Isle of Berk . Meanwhile , Madguts tracks down the Stealth Dragon and it leads him to the Isle of Forget Me . They find that it has gone to the Isle of Berk and go there . On the Isle of Berk , both Stoick and Bertha find the stolen things they have got for the bet are missing . The Hairy Scary Librarian arrives and shoots Stoick with a Northbow but Hiccup 's handwritten book saves Stoick 's life and Hiccup , Fishlegs , and Camicazi come from the sky and squash the Librarian flat with the Stealth Dragon . Madguts and Gumboil arrive for the Stealth Dragon and are about to kill Bertha . Hiccup saves her by lying to Madguts , telling him that the Scary Hairy Librarian had stolen the Stealth Dragon instead , so she squashed the Librarian . Madguts believes him , and takes the Librarian away . Hiccup persuades Stoick that books are useful and books are unbanned by order of the Thing . At the end of the book , there is Hiccup 's finished A Hero 's Guide To Deadly Dragons , as well as a Dragonese dictionary and conversation starters with Toothless . How to ride a dragon 's storm ( 2008 ) ( edit ) This is the seventh book in the series . The story starts at the beach at the bottom the Murderous Mountains . Madguts the Murderous invites two tribes , the Bog - burglars and the Hairy Hooligans to join the Murderous Tribe , over for an Intertribal Friendly Swimming race . The winner may have a single request which will be granted by the three Chiefs of the three tribes . The winner of the swimming race is the one who is the Last Man ( or Woman ) back . Madguts , Stoick and Big Boobied Bertha set off to the water more slowly than the others , more certain that they will win the race . Gumboil and Madguts laugh at the fact that Bog - burglars and the Hooligans are all wearing Blubberwing fat to keep themselves warm , and show them the Deepest Purple Fleshfang oil they are wearing , which is so hot , in fact , that a steam is billowing off Madgut 's chest . And then they tell them that there is a pot at the edge of the water . Gumobil assures the two Chiefs that they can go back , because the race does not start until you start swimming . The two Chiefs realise the pot is empty , and also realises that they have been tricked into returning to the beach in three minutes and twenty - two seconds , and become the losers of the Race . Hiccup , Camicazi and Fishlegs have difficulty in swimming the farther waters , even though their hunting dragons are trying to help , especially Fishlegs , who has to swim in armbands . They encounter Snotlout and Dogsbreath , who destroy Fishlegs ' armbands . Camicazi and Fishlegs are pulled underwater after a while . Hiccup also is pulled down , and is pulled back to the surface , realising that he and his friends have been captured by Raptortongues . They are taken to a ship and tied up . Their hunting dragons are tied up too . The ship happens to have Madguts , Norbert the Nutjob ( Chief of the Hysterics ) and Gumboil . Norbert has asked Madguts to take Hiccup , Camicazi and Fishlegs to the boat , and in return letting him rest on the boat for a few hours , before he continues the race , being the Last Man Back . After Madguts and Gumboil leave , Hiccup returns the ticking thing , which he had stolen from Norbert in an earlier adventure . Norbert attempts to use the ticking thing to get to America . Norbert is about to kill Hiccup , Camicazi and Fishlegs with the Axe of Doom , but is forced to untie the three because he can not read the ticking thing . Hiccup and his friends explore the boat , finding many interesting contraptions that have been made by Norbert , for example : a machine that generates a high - pitched noise that will startle giant dragons and a flying Machine that is tested by crew members every day , only to crash into the ocean . Hiccup discovers there are slaves called the Northern Wanderers on the boat . He falls into the Slave Hatch by accident one day and meets Bearcub and his grandmother . Hiccup pleads that Wanderers not to kill him , and promises to free them , and is rescued by Norbert . The boat reaches the land of Polar - serpents , where dangerous dragons called Polar - serpents roam . Hiccup decides to use Dragon - nip to make the Hysterics fall asleep and escape with the Wanderers . Hiccup pours dragon - nip into the crew 's dinner , making them all fall asleep . After all Wanderers are safe on the emergency boats , Hiccup falls off the boat and lands on an iceberg , and is chased into a cave by Polar Serpents . Hiccup accidentally wakes up a gigantic dragon , which also chases Hiccup . Hiccup manages to get back onto the boat , and uses the machine that generates a high pitched noise to keep the monster away , identifying it as a Leviathorgan . America is in sight , but a storm breaks out , and the Leviathorgan from the cave attacks the ship . Norbert and Hiccup fight on the top of the ship . Lightning strikes Norbert 's axe and it enters the sea , killing the Leviathorgan . Hiccup falls off the mast , as he swims up he hits his head on a sinking cauldron which shortly gives him amnesia , and then he passes out . He is rescued by Fishlegs and Camicazi . Back at the Murderous Mountains , Madguts is clearly the winner , and demands Stoick and Big - Boobied Bertha to be sacrificed to Sky Dragons. Old Wrinkly announces that Hiccup , Fishlegs and Camicazi have not yet returned , and the race is supposed to be three months , five days and six hours , so they still have to wait for three months , before Madguts is declared winner , and the two other Chiefs will be under temporary custody under Madguts . Camicazi and Fishlegs are rescued by the Wanderers . The two take Hiccup on board too , and after Bearcub 's grandmother 's medicine , Hiccup awakens . After a long time , the ticking thing start to tick louder , because Old Wrinkly had set an alarm on it . With only six hours left , and thinking that Old Wrinkly really did have a reason to set the alarm , the three fly to Berk on Norbert 's flying machine , which the Wanderers had collected . The machine works well , but as they near Berk , the machine breaks and crashes into the ocean . Hiccup and his friends come just in time for the alarm to set off . Because Hiccup is the last person back , he demands Madguts to sing a love song at the next `` Thing '' while dressed up as an `` ickle pretty shepherdess '' . It is revealed that in turn for his life , the Northern Wanderers have tattooed Hiccup with the Slavemark , a Viking symbol which now means he is technically a slave . However , he can hide the Slavemark under his helmet and so now will have to wear his helmet forever . How to break a dragon 's heart ( 2009 ) ( edit ) This is the eighth book in the series . The Hooligans , while searching for Camicazi ( who had been shipwrecked during a storm ) in the Eastern Archipelago ( a dangerous section in the Barbaric Archipelago ) , accidentally crash their ship into a rock , and the ship sinks in the shallow waters of the Beach of the Broken Heart , a haunted beach belonging to wicked pirates called Uglithugs , forcing the Hooligans to camp there . While on the beach , they find a mysterious object , and they discover it is a throne belonging to Hooligans , as the Hooligan coat of arms is on it . In the middle of the night , the leader of the Uglithugs , UG , and his men , discover the Hooligans , waking them up . UG tells them that he does n't want to kill them , but wants to talk to them about a strange event : a Hooligan has been sending love letters to UG 's daughter , Tantrum O'Ugerly , and explains that if the person is of royal blood , the person can ask for Tantrum 's hand in marriage after the person finishes an Impossible Task , and if not , the person will be killed . Hiccup realizes that Fishlegs is the one who sent the letters , and spares Fishlegs life by telling UG that he himself wrote the letters . UG then tells him the Impossible Task : to give them a barrel of mead made from the honey made by the bees on the Island of Berserk , an island inhabited by crazy lunatics who enjoy feeding people alive to a dragon known as `` the Beast '' in wicker baskets . UG then tells Hiccup that he should be back at UG 's castle on Midsummer 's day at five o'clock in the morning with five pots of Berserk honey . Back on Berk , Stoick convinces the other Hooligans to help Hiccup collect the honey . Meanwhile , Fishlegs realizes that he himself is a Berserk , after going berserk himself . And that he had been thrown into the sea in a lobster pot and had been adopted by Hooligans , and goes off to Berserk on his Chickenpoxer dragon . Hiccup and Toothless follow him on the Windwalker . On Berserk , Fishlegs successfully collect five pots of honey , but gets captured by Berserks . So is Hiccup . At the Berserk Village , Hiccup and Fishlegs meet the other fiancés of Tantrum , one of them being Humongously Hotshot the Hero . All of them are to be fed to `` the Beast '' later in the evening . Hiccup realizes that the chef of the Berserk Chief is actually Alvin the Treacherous ( who is in chains ) . Alvin explains that when he was in the Fire Dragon in Book 5 , he had used his sword to pop open the stomach of the Exterminator Dragon he was riding ( because there is lots of laughing gas in the stomach of dragons ) . The Fire dragon burst out in laughter , melting off Alvin 's nose , and Alvin floated out in a bubble , which was later shot down by a Berserk . Alvin then fell from the sky onto the Berserk Chief 's chef , and spared his own life by agreeing to become the Chief 's new chef . Hiccup tells Alvin that he can help him escape if he shows him where Camicazi is imprisoned ( Hiccup had already knew that she was imprisoned in Berserk ) . Alvin agrees but while they are in the woods , he pushed Hiccup into a tree cell , where he meets a witch who introduces herself as Hogtrude ( and Hiccup introducing himself as Fishlegs ) , who helps get some nasty things from Toothless 's tummy . The witch then finds Hiccup suspicious and decides to tell him a story and at the end of the story , they will both guess each other 's names and whoever guesses right will get to kill the other . The witch then tells Hiccup how Grimbeard the Ghastly had three kids , Thugheart , Chucklehead and Hiccup Horrendous Haddock II . Grimbeard tried to kill the second Hiccup by leaving him in the mountainside , upsetting his wife who left to look for the second Hiccup . Meanwhile , the second Hiccup was adopted by Grimler dragons and learned to speak Dragonese , but was found by Hooligans , and he and his adopted step dragon brother , a Seadragonus Giganticus Maximus named Furious , lived with Grimbeard . One day , Hiccup wanted to hold a petition for the dragons to demand freedom . However , Thugheart tricked Grimbeard into thinking that it was an attack and Grimbeard killed Hiccup , but soon he realizes that Hiccup just wanted a peaceful petition , and regrets his actions and buried his treasures and left in his boat ( Furious took the second Hiccup 's corpse away ) . The witch guesses Hiccup 's correct name , and Hiccup guesses that the witch is Alvin the Treacherous 's mother , both being correct . Hiccup then escapes by using a key that had been in Toothless ' belly to unlock the door to the cell and rescues Camicazi and they return to the Berserk village . Hiccup goes back into his cage just as the feeding of `` the Beast '' begins . Alvin , surprised that Hiccup has returned , chooses Hiccup to be fed to `` the Beast '' first . Hiccup realizes that `` the Beast '' is actually Furious . After realizing that Hiccup is a descendant of a boy he loved , he swears a `` cross my heart and hope to die '' oath ( this is an oath that a dragon CANNOT BREAK ) if Hiccup sets him free . The oath was that Furious will help free the prisoners on the island and never harm humans . Hiccup realizes that the key he has can free Furious and they free the fiancés and cause chaos in the village . Furious , however , then reveals that he only has HALF A HEART ; therefore he can obey a part of the oath and ignore the other ( Furious picked the first part , obviously ) . He sets fire to the Berserk woods and tells Hiccup that a year after he leaves the Archipelago , he shall return to destroy the humans along with a dragon army ( Furious really hates humans ) . Hiccup , Camicazi , Fishlegs , Toothless , the Windwalker and the Chickenpoxer return to Berk with the honey . Meanwhile , Humongous bring his five pots of honey to UG 's room and goes on his honeymoon with Tantrum ( because Humongous had been the one she had loved ) . In the epilogue , Hiccup reveals that sometimes he dreams he is the father of the second Hiccup , and sees him riding on a dragon , promising he will return . How to steal a dragon 's sword ( 2011 ) ( edit ) This is the ninth book in the series . Bad times come to the Archipelago , and ever since the woods of Berserk burned down it is as if the world is cursed . Hiccup and other young warriors are brought to the island where `` Flashburn 's school of swordfighting '' waits for them . The children have 3 weeks at the school to train their sword fighting , for New Year 's Day ; there will be a sword fighting competition , in which the winner is declared a new warrior of his tribe . The youngsters have to go up the cliff , `` The Hard Way '' , and are attacked by a pack of dragons of different species , which is unusual behaviour for dragons . Hiccup 's clever plan saves the lot of them . But once at the school , no one is to be found . Worse still , the only person there , the wicked witch Excellinor ( Alvin the Treacherous 's Mother ) has returned as the castle 's witch . She tells everyone that the dragons are revolting in a `` Red Rage '' and are led by the dragon Furious , who was one year before released by ... Hiccup . She tells the tribes that the sword fighting competition must be used to find the next king of the Wilderwest . She tells them a prophecy which is about the next king : he has a dragon with no teeth , an arrow from a land that does not exist , Grimbeard 's second - best sword , a ticking - thing , a rectangular shield , a throne , a crown , and the Dragon Jewel . Hiccup has got all of these things , except the throne , though he knows where it is , the crown , and the dragon jewel . Meanwhile , the witch makes sure that her son Alvin has no challengers during the competition . Hiccup finds the crown under Flashburn 's school , along with a dragon called the Wodensfang , a very old , ancient dragon that was told to guard the crown by Grimbeard the Ghastly . The Wodensfang tells him he was the one who gave the first Hiccup the Dragon Jewel . He gets back into the hut and the witch attacks him but he was immune to the vorpent venom on her claws gets himself covered in the poison in the struggle , wins the competition , beating his own father . Alvin is third . Hiccup is declared winner and tells the tribes that he wanted to free all dragons so that there would be no revolt in the first place . He wants to abolish slavery for both humans and dragons . Most tribes agree on this , but then , when all looks so well , Snotlout throws a stone at his head , knocking Hiccup 's helmet off , revealing he has the Slavemark . Everyone 's shocked . The Slavemark is the ultimate mark of shame . Since he has the Slavemark , Hiccup is automatically a slave , disqualified from the competition , exiled from his tribe , and could never become chief , let alone a king . Stoick , Hiccup 's father , is also banished , because he knew Hiccup was a ' runt ' , and thus should not have been part of their tribe in the first place , but instead abandoned as a baby . Everyone has to turn their backs , excluding Fishlegs , who gives Hiccup his lobster - claw necklace , the only thing Fishlegs has from his parents . Alvin 's the new king , and declares war on the dragons . Furious arrives and the war begins . Only Windwalker and Toothless stay faithful , and bring Hiccup to safety . He is followed by the dragons , who think he has the Dragon Jewel , the only thing that could stop the dragons now . In mid-chase he falls unconscious on dragonback and wakes up safe in a cave , Hiccup now all alone , an outcast , an exile , no sword , no helmet , only the Windwalker , Toothless and the Wodensfang by his side , Hiccup 's in despair , until he finds he actually has the map to find the Dragon Jewel ( Which is revealed by the venom on his hands uncovering the secret map on Grimbeard the Ghastly 's will ) , and triumphantly cries : This is not the end I will be back ! How to seize a dragon 's Jewel ( 2012 ) ( edit ) This is the tenth book in the series . The Dragon Rebellion has begun . Snotlout is the new Chief of the Hooligan Tribe . Stoick has been banished and given the Slavemark . And Alvin the Treacherous has EIGHT of the King 's Lost Things , and has been proclaimed the new King of the Wilderwest ... But what can Hiccup do , now all alone and in exile , hunted by both humans and dragons ? Can he find the Dragon Jewel , mankind 's last and only hope ? And if he does , what will he do with it ? The book starts with Hiccup in exile . He is nearly killed by his mother , Vallhallarama while he deactivates dragon traps , and loses the map to her . He travels to a slave jail under Alvin the Treacherous 's control to spy on Alvin . There , he finds and befriends many slaves , including his father that comb the beaches during low tide , looking for the Dragon Jewel . Alvin discovers Hiccup and makes him look for the Dragon Jewel by himself , with a deadly armed guard . A Deadly Shadow swoops down and snatches Hiccup before he has a chance to look for the Jewel . The dragon brings him to a hill to kill him , but notices that he has the lobster claw necklace . They ( the dragon has three heads , Arrogance , Patience and Innocence ) tell him that they had promised to care for a Berserker woman 's baby who was supposed to be killed by drifting through the ocean . They lost sight of the baby however , and it drifted to Berk and grew up to be Fishlegs . Hiccup admits he is not this child , and tells them of Fishleg 's fate ( which was to be sucked into a hole in the ground ) . He goes to this hole and gets pulled in to it by its inhabitant , a large dragon with an eye on each finger .

Then they swim to shore through and exit , and the Deadly Shadow picks them up , all flying triumphantly into the distance .

How to betray a dragon 's Hero ( 2013 ) ( edit ) This is the eleventh and penultimate book in the series . While waiting for Valhallarama ( she was going to retrieve the rest of the things from the Alvinsmen -- Alvin 's team -- so Hiccup would become king ) , the ten companions of the Dragonmark ( Hiccup , Fishlegs , Camicazi , Toothless , Wodensfang , Stormfly , Windwalker , Innocence , Arrogance and Patience ) hear a human calling for help then abruptly stopping . Soon they find Wolf - fangs in the river , showing them why he was screaming . Then they see why he stopped . Thousands of Dragon Rebellion dragons were sleeping on the riverbank . Then they see who the human is ... Snotlout . Everyone except Hiccup decides to leave him , but Hiccup persuades them to save him , accidentally waking up Snotlout 's Hogfly . The Hogfly , in turn , accidentally wakes up the nearby Rebellion dragons . They all flee from the Rebellion dragons ( joined by the dragon Furious ) to their secret hideout , hiding as Furious and the dragons search for them . However , Alvin 's Spydragons kidnap Camicazi so Snotlout brings them on a rescue mission to save her . When escaping from the Alvinsmen , Snotlout changes clothes with Hiccup to provide a diversion . Snotlout is shot down , and killed . Therefore , Camicazi and Fishlegs think Hiccup is dead . How to fight a dragon 's Fury ( 2015 ) ( edit ) The twelfth and final book in the How to Train Your Dragon series . Hiccup wakes up on the beach at Hero 's End with the Wodensfang , Hogfly ... and amnesia sustained when he hit his head on the mast of the boat at the end of the previous book . The Wodensfang tries to explain who Hiccup is , but before they can they are attacked by Sharkworms and the Vampire Spydragon from the previous book . After defeating the dragons , Hiccup takes a boat which has washed up on the beach and sails towards Tomorrow . Fishlegs , Camicazi , and the Triple - Headed Deadly Shadow Dragon try and rescue Hiccup , but he attacks them because he does n't know who they are and the Wodensfang is asleep from a poison dart . Once Hiccup reaches Tomorrow , he is captured by the Dragon Guardians of Tomorrow who attempt to kill by performing Death by Airy Oblivion , but halfway up realize that they have made a mistake and Hiccup should not be killed , and so drop him in the swamp . Hiccup crawls out of the swamp and enters Grimbeard the Ghastly 's castle just as Alvin is about to be crowned king by the Druid Guardian . At this point , Hiccup regains his memory and gives a speech convincing the Druid Guardian to crown him king instead . Hiccup is crowned and prepares to engage the Dragon Furious in single combat . The Druid Guardian tells Hiccup the secret of the Dragon Jewel : that it contains two tiny dragons which are carrying a deadly virus that can wipe out dragonkind if the jewel is cracked . However , Hiccup 's jewel does n't have the dragons , meaning that it is a fake . This means that Hiccup will have to defeat the Dragon Furious with might alone . Hiccup rides the Windwalker , accompanied by Toothless and the Wodensfang , into battle and is knocked off the Windwalker 's back by Furious . As Furious prepares to kill Hiccup , Hiccup remembers a speech Furious gave at the beginning of battle , where he talks about how Hiccup was the new Grimbeard and would be a cruel king . Furious cites how Hiccup has the king 's things and the lobster necklace , which Fishlegs gave him for luck . Hiccup deduces that the necklace was also Grimbeards , and so gets Toothless to crack open the necklace with his jaws , revealing the real Dragon Jewel . Hiccup threatens Furious with the jewel and talks to him , reaching a peace agreement . Once the agreement has been reached , Hiccup throws the jewel into the sea . However , before the agreement can be made , Alvin and the Witch attack Furious , thus violating the laws of single combat . Furious gets the dragon army to attack and so soon there is an all - out Vikings vs. Dragons battle . Meanwhile , Camicazi and Fishlegs capture and detain Alvin , who reveals that he found the necklace in Grimbeard 's tomb and gave it to a princess as a present while masquerading as a fisherman , which means that Alvin is Fishlegs ' father . After telling this , Alvin prepares to kill Fishlegs before the Dragon Guardians intervene and kill him . Hiccup convinces Furious to call off the attack once more and are once again about to reach a peace agreement when the Witch attacks Hiccup with the Stormblade . Furious intervenes and kills the Witch , then completes the treaty and makes himself and Hiccup blood brothers . However , the Stormblade was poisoned and so Furious leaves his command of the dragons to Luna , his second - in - command , and goes out to sea to die . The epilogue shows how Hiccup built a new kingdom of harmony on Tomorrow where humans and dragons could live in peace , but also had humans domesticate horses and hawks so that he can fulfill his promise which stated that if humans did n't change by the time he died , dragons would have to go into hibernation . Hiccup also instructed Fishlegs to perpetuate that the whole story was just a myth . Films ( edit ) Main article : How to Train Your Dragon ( franchise ) DreamWorks Animation released on 26 March 2010 a computer - animated film adaptation How to Train Your Dragon , directed by Chris Sanders and Dean DeBlois , the directors of Lilo & Stitch . The film features Gerard Butler as Stoick the Vast , Hiccup 's father , Craig Ferguson as Gobber the Belch , and Jay Baruchel as Hiccup . The film proved to be a resounding critical and box office success , and became a major media franchise for DreamWorks Animation including a 2014 feature film sequel How to Train Your Dragon 2 , with Dean DeBlois directing it . Differences from the book ( edit ) The plot of the film is almost completely different from the first book in the series . The greatest change is how the Vikings in the book have the custom of capturing and training in combat against dragons even before the story begins -- but in the film , they are fighting a fierce war against the dragons and only switch to training them after Hiccup shows that this can be done . Furthermore , Toothless is completely re-imagined as an injured Night Fury dragon , the rarest , fastest , and most powerful and intelligent breed that is capable of carrying human riders on its back as a flying mount . In the books Toothless is an exceptionally small and exceptionally common dragon who is extremely disobedient . However , Cowell stated in her blog that she felt approvingly that the film remained `` true to the spirit and message of the book . '' Cowell also explained that she felt that the adaptation required a change in plot and characters . A primary character in the films who does not appear in the books is Astrid , a fierce Viking girl and Hiccup 's love interest . Like Camicazi , Astrid is a highly skilled warrior and fighter who is a close friend of Hiccup 's . In the short film Gift of the Night Fury , it is revealed that Astrid 's Deadly Nadder dragon is named Stormfly , which is the name of Camicazi 's dragon in the book series . However , Camicazi is from the Bog - Burglars tribe , whereas in the films Astrid is a Hooligan like Hiccup . Fishlegs , who is portrayed as Hiccup 's best friend in the series of novels , is merely acknowledged as a friend in the films . His appearance is also described very differently . In the books he is portrayed as a skinny , often cowardly and sickly boy who gets scared around even the most harmless of dragons . In the films he is beefy , highly knowledgeable ( especially about dragons ) , and gets excited about dragons - especially if they are a new species . Like Camicazi , in the books Fishlegs is technically from a different tribe ( the Berserks ) but was adopted by the Hooligan tribe when he was abandoned as an infant , but the films have no reference to this . Snotlout in the books , though very similar in personality , would never dream of becoming friends with Hiccup and actually bullies him . In the films he is Hiccup 's friend , although not an especially close one ; he is rude and competitive , but he knows and accepts that Hiccup will one day be chief . In the books , he is Hiccup 's cousin and possible heir to the Hooligan tribe ; some of his animosity with Hiccup is his desire to prove that he 'd make a better chief . In the books , Snotlout has a monstrous nightmare named Fireworm . In the films he also has a monstrous nightmare , but it is named Hookfang . The name `` Fireworm '' was transferred to an entire species of small and flammable dragons in the films . Audio CDs ( edit ) Audio CDs , have also been made to accompany How To Train Your Dragon , made by Cressida Cowell and narrated by local Scottish actor David Tennant . Tennant also plays the voice of Spitelout , Snotlout 's father , in the films and as well as in DreamWorks Dragons .

Weiss . It is an adaptation of A Song of Ice and Fire , George R.R. Martin 's series of fantasy novels , the first of which is A Game of Thrones . It is filmed in Belfast and elsewhere in Northern Ireland , Canada , Croatia , Iceland , Malta , Morocco , Spain , and the United States . The series premiered on HBO in the United States on April 17 , 2011 , and its seventh season ended on August 27 , 2017 . The series will conclude with its eighth season premiering in 2019 . Set on the fictional continents of Westeros and Essos , Game of Thrones has several plot lines and a large ensemble cast but centers on three primary story arcs . The first story arc centers on the Iron Throne of the Seven Kingdoms and follows a web of alliances and conflicts among the dynastic noble families either vying to claim the throne or fighting for independence from the throne . The second story arc focuses on the last descendant of the realm 's deposed ruling dynasty , exiled and plotting a return to the throne . The third story arc centers on the longstanding brotherhood charged with defending the realm against the ancient threats of the fierce peoples and legendary creatures that lie far north , and an impending winter that threatens the realm . Game of Thrones has attracted record viewership on HBO and has a broad , active , international fan base . It has been acclaimed by critics , particularly for its acting , complex characters , story , scope , and production values , although its frequent use of nudity and violence ( including sexual violence ) has been criticized . The series has received 38 Primetime Emmy Awards , including Outstanding Drama Series in 2015 and 2016 , more than any other primetime scripted television series . Its other awards and nominations include three Hugo Awards for Best Dramatic Presentation ( 2012 -- 2014 ) , a 2011 Peabody Award , and five nominations for the Golden Globe Award for Best Television Series -- Drama ( 2012 and 2015 -- 2018 ) . Of the ensemble cast , Peter Dinklage has won two Primetime Emmy Awards for Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Drama Series ( 2011 and 2015 ) and the Golden Globe Award for Best Supporting Actor -- Series , Miniseries or Television Film ( 2012 ) for his performance as Tyrion Lannister . Lena Headey , Emilia Clarke , Kit Harington , Maisie Williams , Nikolaj Coster - Waldau , Diana Rigg , and Max von Sydow have also received Primetime Emmy Award nominations for their performances .

Setting Main article : World of A Song of Ice and Fire Game of Thrones is roughly based on the storylines of A Song of Ice and Fire , set in the fictional Seven Kingdoms of Westeros and the continent of Essos . The series chronicles the violent dynastic struggles among the realm 's noble families for the Iron Throne , while other families fight for independence from it . It opens with additional threats in the icy North and Essos in the east . Showrunner David Benioff jokingly suggested `` The Sopranos in Middle - earth '' as Game of Thrones ' tagline , referring to its intrigue - filled plot and dark tone in a fantasy setting of magic and dragons . In a 2012 study of deaths per episode , it ranked second out of 40 recent U.S. TV drama series ( with an average of 14 ) . Themes Main article : Themes in A Song of Ice and Fire The series is generally praised for what is perceived as a sort of medieval realism . George R.R. Martin set out to make the story feel more like historical fiction than contemporary fantasy , with less emphasis on magic and sorcery and more on battles , political intrigue , and the characters , believing that magic should be used moderately in the epic fantasy genre . Martin has stated that `` the true horrors of human history derive not from orcs and Dark Lords , but from ourselves . '' A common theme in the fantasy genre is the battle between good and evil , which Martin says does not mirror the real world . Just like people 's capacity for good and for evil in real life , Martin explores the questions of redemption and character change . The series allows the audience to view different characters from their perspective , unlike in many other fantasies , and thus the supposed villains can provide their side of the story . Benioff said , `` George brought a measure of harsh realism to high fantasy . He introduced gray tones into a black - and - white universe . '' In early seasons , under the influence of the A Song of Ice and Fire books , main characters were regularly killed off , and this was credited with developing tension among viewers . In later seasons , critics pointed out that certain characters had developed `` plot armor '' to survive in unlikely circumstances , and attributed this to Game of Thrones deviating from the novels to become more of a traditional television series . The series also reflects the substantial death rates in war . Inspirations and derivations Although the first season closely follows the events of the first novel , later seasons have made significant changes . According to David Benioff , the series is `` about adapting the series as a whole and following the map George laid out for us and hitting the major milestones , but not necessarily each of the stops along the way '' . The novels and their adaptations base aspects of their settings , characters , and plot on events in European history . Most of Westeros is reminiscent of high medieval Europe , from lands and cultures , to the palace intrigue , feudal system , castles , and knightly tournaments . A principal inspiration for the novels is the English Wars of the Roses ( 1455 -- 85 ) between the houses of Lancaster and York , reflected in Martin 's houses of Lannister and Stark . The scheming Cersei Lannister evokes Isabella , the `` she - wolf of France '' ( 1295 -- 1358 ) ; Isabella and her family ( particularly as portrayed in Maurice Druon 's historical - novel series , The Accursed Kings ) were also a main inspiration for Martin . Holland further proposes that other historical antecedents of series elements include Hadrian 's Wall ( which becomes Martin 's Wall ) , the Roman Empire and the legend of Atlantis ( ancient Valyria ) , Byzantine Greek fire ( `` wildfire '' ) , Icelandic sagas of the Viking Age ( the Ironborn ) , the Mongol hordes ( the Dothraki ) , the Hundred Years ' War and the Italian Renaissance . The series ' popularity has been attributed , in part , to Martin 's skill at fusing these elements into a seamless , credible version of alternate history . Martin acknowledges , `` I take ( history ) and I file off the serial numbers and I turn it up to 11 . '' Cast and characters Main article : List of Game of Thrones characters Peter Dinklage ( Tyrion Lannister ) has led the principal cast since the second season Game of Thrones has an ensemble cast estimated to be the largest on television ; during its third season , 257 cast names were recorded . In 2014 , several actor contracts were renegotiated to include a seventh - season option , with raises which reportedly made them among the highest - paid performers on cable TV . In 2016 , several actor contracts were again renegotiated , reportedly increasing the salary of five of the main cast members to £ 2 million per episode for the last two seasons , which would make them the highest paid actors on television . The main cast is listed below . Lord Eddard `` Ned '' Stark ( Sean Bean ) is the head of House Stark , whose members are involved in plot lines throughout most of the series . He and his wife , Catelyn Tully ( Michelle Fairley ) , have five children : Robb ( Richard Madden ) , the eldest , followed by Sansa ( Sophie Turner ) , Arya ( Maisie Williams ) , Bran ( Isaac Hempstead - Wright ) and Rickon ( Art Parkinson ) , the youngest . Ned 's illegitimate son Jon Snow ( Kit Harington ) and his friend , Samwell Tarly ( John Bradley ) , serve in the Night 's Watch under Lord Commander Jeor Mormont ( James Cosmo ) . The Wildlings living north of the Wall include young Gilly ( Hannah Murray ) , and warriors Tormund Giantsbane ( Kristofer Hivju ) and Ygritte ( Rose Leslie ) . Others associated with House Stark include Ned 's ward Theon Greyjoy ( Alfie Allen ) , his vassal Roose Bolton ( Michael McElhatton ) , and Bolton 's bastard son , Ramsay Snow ( Iwan Rheon ) . Robb falls in love with the healer Talisa Maegyr ( Oona Chaplin ) , and Arya befriends the blacksmith 's apprentice Gendry ( Joe Dempsie ) and the assassin Jaqen H'ghar ( Tom Wlaschiha ) . The tall warrior Brienne of Tarth ( Gwendoline Christie ) serves Catelyn and , later , Sansa . In King 's Landing , the capital , Ned 's friend King Robert Baratheon ( Mark Addy ) shares a loveless marriage with Cersei Lannister ( Lena Headey ) , who has taken her twin brother , the `` Kingslayer '' Ser Jaime Lannister ( Nikolaj Coster - Waldau ) , as her lover . She loathes her younger brother , the dwarf Tyrion Lannister ( Peter Dinklage ) , who is attended by his mistress Shae ( Sibel Kekilli ) and the sellsword Bronn ( Jerome Flynn ) . Cersei 's father is Lord Tywin Lannister ( Charles Dance ) . Cersei also has two young sons : Joffrey ( Jack Gleeson ) and Tommen ( Dean - Charles Chapman ) . Joffrey is guarded by the scar - faced warrior , Sandor `` the Hound '' Clegane ( Rory McCann ) . The king 's Small Council of advisors includes the crafty Master of Coin Lord Petyr `` Littlefinger '' Baelish ( Aidan Gillen ) and the eunuch spymaster Lord Varys ( Conleth Hill ) . Robert 's brother , Stannis Baratheon ( Stephen Dillane ) , is advised by foreign priestess Melisandre ( Carice van Houten ) and former smuggler Ser Davos Seaworth ( Liam Cunningham ) . The wealthy Tyrell family is represented at court by Margaery Tyrell ( Natalie Dormer ) . The High Sparrow ( Jonathan Pryce ) is the capital 's religious leader . In the southern principality of Dorne , Ellaria Sand ( Indira Varma ) seeks vengeance against the Lannisters . Across the Narrow Sea , siblings Viserys ( Harry Lloyd ) and Daenerys Targaryen ( Emilia Clarke ) -- the exiled children of the last king of the original ruling dynasty , who was overthrown by Robert Baratheon -- are running for their lives and trying to win back the throne . Daenerys has been married to Khal Drogo ( Jason Momoa ) , the leader of the nomadic Dothraki . Her retinue includes the exiled knight Ser Jorah Mormont ( Iain Glen ) , her aide Missandei ( Nathalie Emmanuel ) and the sellsword Daario Naharis ( Michiel Huisman ) . Production Conception and development Showrunners D.B. Weiss and David Benioff created the series , wrote most of its episodes and directed several . In January 2006 , David Benioff had a phone conversation with George R.R. Martin 's literary agent about the books he represented , and became interested in A Song of Ice and Fire as he had been a fan of fantasy fiction when young but had not read the books before . The literary agent then sent the first four books of A Song of Ice and Fire to Benioff . Benioff read a few hundred pages of the first novel , A Game of Thrones , shared his enthusiasm with D.B. Weiss and suggested that they adapt Martin 's novels into a television series ; Weiss finished the first novel in `` maybe 36 hours '' . They pitched the series to HBO after a five - hour meeting with Martin ( himself a veteran screenwriter ) in a restaurant on Santa Monica Boulevard . According to Benioff , they won Martin over with their answer to his question , `` Who is Jon Snow 's mother ? '' I had worked in Hollywood myself for about 10 years , from the late ' 80s to the ' 90s . I 'd been on the staff of The Twilight Zone and Beauty and the Beast . All of my first drafts tended to be too big or too expensive . I always hated the process of having to cut . I said , ' I 'm sick of this , I 'm going to write something that 's as big as I want it to be , and it 's going to have a cast of characters that go into the thousands , and I 'm going to have huge castles , and battles , and dragons . -- George R.R. Martin , author Before being approached by Benioff and Weiss , Martin had had other meetings with other scriptwriters , most of them wanting to turn it into a feature film . Martin , however , deemed it `` unfilmable '' and impossible to be done as a feature film , stating that the size of one of his novels is as long as The Lord of the Rings , which had been adapted as three feature films . Similarly , Benioff also said that it would be impossible to turn the novels into a feature film as the scale of the novels is too big for a feature film and dozens of characters would have to be discarded . Benioff added , `` a fantasy movie of this scope , financed by a major studio , would almost certainly need a PG - 13 rating . That means no sex , no blood , no profanity . Fuck that . '' Martin himself was pleased with the suggestion that they adapt it as an HBO series , saying that he `` never imagined it anywhere else '' . `` I knew it could n't be done as a network television series . It 's too adult . The level of sex and violence would never have gone through . '' The series began development in January 2007 . HBO acquired the TV rights to the novels , with Benioff and Weiss as its executive producers , and Martin as a co-executive producer . The intention was for each novel to yield a season 's worth of episodes . Initially , Martin would write one episode per season while Benioff and Weiss would write the rest of the episodes . Jane Espenson and Bryan Cogman were later added to write one episode apiece the first season . The first and second drafts of the pilot script by Benioff and Weiss were submitted in August 2007 and June 2008 , respectively . Although HBO liked both drafts , a pilot was not ordered until November 2008 ; the 2007 -- 2008 Writers Guild of America strike may have delayed the process . The pilot episode , `` Winter Is Coming '' , was first shot in 2009 ; after a poor reception in a private viewing , HBO demanded an extensive re-shoot ( about 90 percent of the episode , with cast and directorial changes ) . The pilot reportedly cost HBO $5 -- 10 million to produce , while the first season 's budget was estimated at $50 -- 60 million . In the second season , the series received a 15 - percent budget increase for the climactic battle in `` Blackwater '' ( which had an $8 million budget ) . Between 2012 and 2015 , the average budget per episode increased from $6 million to `` at least '' $8 million . The sixth - season budget was over $10 million per episode , for a season total of over $100 million and a series record . Casting Nina Gold and Robert Sterne are the series ' primary casting directors . Through a process of auditions and readings , the main cast was assembled . The only exceptions were Peter Dinklage and Sean Bean , whom the writers wanted from the start ; they were announced as joining the pilot in 2009 . Other actors signed for the pilot were Kit Harington as Jon Snow , Jack Gleeson as Joffrey Baratheon , Harry Lloyd as Viserys Targaryen and Mark Addy as Robert Baratheon . Addy was , according to showrunners Benioff and Weiss , the easiest actor to cast for the series , being that his audition was on point . Some of the characters in the pilot were recast for the first season : Catelyn Stark was initially played by Jennifer Ehle , but the role was recast with Michelle Fairley . Daenerys Targaryen was also recast , with Emilia Clarke replacing Tamzin Merchant . The rest of the first season 's cast was filled in the second half of 2009 . Although many of the cast returned after the first season , the producers had many new characters to cast for each of the following seasons . Due to the large number of new characters , Benioff and Weiss postponed the introduction of several key characters in the second season and merged several characters into one or assigned plot functions to different characters . Some recurring characters were recast over the years ; for example , Gregor Clegane was played by three different actors , while Dean - Charles Chapman who played Tommen Baratheon also played a minor Lannister character . Writing George R.R. Martin , author of A Song of Ice and Fire , is a series co-executive producer and wrote one episode for each of the first four seasons . Game of Thrones used seven writers in six seasons . Series creators David Benioff and D.B. Weiss , the showrunners , write most of the episodes each season . A Song of Ice and Fire author George R.R. Martin wrote one episode in each of the first four seasons . Martin did not write an episode for the later seasons , since he wanted to focus on completing the sixth novel ( The Winds of Winter ) . Jane Espenson co-wrote one first - season episode as a freelance writer . Bryan Cogman , initially a script coordinator for the series , was promoted to producer for the fifth season . Cogman , who wrote at least one episode for the first five seasons , is the only other writer in the writers ' room with Benioff and Weiss . Before his promotion , Vanessa Taylor ( a writer during the second and third seasons ) worked closely with Benioff and Weiss . Dave Hill joined the writing staff for the fifth season after working as an assistant to Benioff and Weiss . Although Martin is not in the writers ' room , he reads the script outlines and makes comments . Benioff and Weiss sometimes assign characters to particular writers ; for example , Cogman was assigned to Arya Stark for the fourth season . The writers spend several weeks writing a character outline , including what material from the novels to use and the overarching themes . After these individual outlines are complete , they spend another two to three weeks discussing each main character 's individual arc and arranging them episode by episode . A detailed outline is created , with each of the writers working on a portion to create a script for each episode . Cogman , who wrote two episodes for the fifth season , took a month and a half to complete both scripts . They are then read by Benioff and Weiss , who make notes , and parts of the script are rewritten . All ten episodes are written before filming begins , since they are filmed out of order with two units in different countries . Benioff and Weiss write each of their episodes together , with one of them writing the first half of the script and the other the second half . After that they begin with passing the drafts back and forth to make notes and rewrite parts of it . Adaptation schedule Benioff and Weiss originally intended to adapt the entire , still - incomplete A Song of Ice and Fire series of novels for television . After Game of Thrones began outpacing the published novels in the sixth season , the series was based on a plot outline of the future novels provided by Martin and original content . In April 2016 , the showrunners ' plan was to shoot 13 more episodes after the sixth season : seven episodes in the seventh season and six episodes in the eighth . Later that month , the series was renewed for a seventh season with a seven - episode order . As of 2017 , seven seasons have been ordered and filmed , adapting the novels at a rate of about 48 seconds per page for the first three seasons .

For the later seasons , its creators see Game of Thrones as an adaptation of A Song of Ice and Fire as a whole rather than the individual novels ; this enables them to move events across novels , according to screen - adaptation requirements . Filming The Azure Window at Ras - id - Dwerja , on Gozo , was the site of the Dothraki wedding in season one . Principal photography for the first season was scheduled to begin on July 26 , 2010 , and the primary location was the Paint Hall Studios in Belfast , Northern Ireland . Exterior scenes in Northern Ireland were filmed at Sandy Brae in the Mourne Mountains ( standing in for Vaes Dothrak ) , Castle Ward ( Winterfell ) , Saintfield Estates ( the Winterfell godswood ) , Tollymore Forest ( outdoor scenes ) , Cairncastle ( the execution site ) , the Magheramorne quarry ( Castle Black ) and Shane 's Castle ( the tourney grounds ) . Doune Castle in Stirling , Scotland , was also used in the original pilot episode for scenes at Winterfell . The producers initially considered filming the whole series in Scotland , but decided on Northern Ireland because of the availability of studio space . The first season 's southern scenes were filmed in Malta , a change in location from the pilot episode 's Moroccan sets . The city of Mdina was used for King 's Landing . Filming was also done at Fort Manoel ( representing the Sept of Baelor ) , at the Azure Window on the island of Gozo ( the Dothraki wedding site ) and at San Anton Palace , Fort Ricasoli , Fort St. Angelo and St. Dominic monastery ( all used for scenes in the Red Keep ) . The walled city of Dubrovnik became King 's Landing in season two . Filming of the second season 's southern scenes shifted from Malta to Croatia , where the city of Dubrovnik and nearby locations allowed exterior shots of a walled , coastal medieval city . The Walls of Dubrovnik and Fort Lovrijenac were used for scenes in King 's Landing and the Red Keep . The island of Lokrum , the St. Dominic monastery in the coastal town of Trogir , the Rector 's Palace in Dubrovnik , and the Dubac quarry ( a few kilometers east ) were used for scenes set in Qarth . Scenes set north of the Wall , in the Frostfangs and at the Fist of the First Men , were filmed in November 2011 in Iceland : on the Vatnajökull glacier near Smyrlabjörg , the Svínafellsjökull glacier near Skaftafell and the Mýrdalsjökull glacier near Vik on Höfðabrekkuheiði . Third - season production returned to Dubrovnik , with the Walls of Dubrovnik , Fort Lovrijenac and nearby locations again used for scenes in King 's Landing and the Red Keep . Trsteno Arboretum , a new location , is the garden of the Tyrells in King 's Landing . The third season also returned to Morocco ( including the city of Essaouira ) to film Daenerys ' scenes in Essos . Dimmuborgir and the Grjótagjá cave in Iceland were used as well . One scene , with a live bear , was filmed in Los Angeles . The production used three units ( Dragon , Wolf and Raven ) filming in parallel , six directing teams , 257 cast members and 703 crew members . Ballintoy Harbour was Lordsport on the Iron Islands . The fourth season returned to Dubrovnik and included new locations , including Diocletian 's Palace in Split , Klis Fortress north of Split , Perun quarry east of Split , the Mosor mountain range , and Baška Voda further south . Thingvellir National Park in Iceland was used for the fight between Brienne and the Hound . Filming took 136 days and ended on November 21 , 2013 . The fifth season added Seville , Spain , used for scenes of Dorne , as well as Córdoba . The sixth season , which began filming in July 2015 , returned to Spain and filmed in Navarra , Guadalajara , Seville , Almeria Girona and Peniscola . Filming also returned to Dubrovnik , Croatia . Filming of the seven episodes of season 7 began on August 31 , 2016 , at Titanic Studios in Belfast , with other filming in Iceland , Northern Ireland and many locations in Spain , including Seville , Cáceres , Almodovar del Rio , Santiponce , Zumaia and Bermeo . The series also filmed in Dubrovnik , which is used for location of King 's Landing . Filming continued until the end of February 2017 as necessary to ensure winter weather in some of the European locations . Directing Each ten - episode season of Game of Thrones has four to six directors , who usually direct back - to - back episodes . Alan Taylor has directed seven episodes , the most episodes of the series . Alex Graves , David Nutter , Mark Mylod and Jeremy Podeswa have directed six each . Daniel Minahan directed five episodes , and Michelle MacLaren , Alik Sakharov , and Miguel Sapochnik directed four each . Brian Kirk directed three episodes during the first season , and Tim Van Patten directed the series ' first two episodes . Neil Marshall directed two episodes , both with large battle scenes : `` Blackwater '' and `` The Watchers on the Wall '' . Other directors have been Jack Bender , David Petrarca , Daniel Sackheim , Michael Slovis and Matt Shakman . David Benioff and D.B. Weiss have directed two episodes together but only credited one each episode , which was determined after a coin toss . Technical aspects Alik Sakharov was the pilot 's cinematographer . The series has had a number of cinematographers , and has received seven Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Cinematography for a Single - Camera Series nominations . Oral Norrey Ottey , Frances Parker , Martin Nicholson , Crispin Green , Tim Porter and Katie Weiland have edited the series for a varying number of episodes . Weiland received a Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Single - Camera Picture Editing for a Drama Series in 2015 . Costumes The costumes of Ygritte , Jon Snow and Tormund Giantsbane reflect the harsh climate in which they are worn . Dresses worn at the royal court in King 's Landing indicate their wearers ' wealth and status . Functional weapons and armor , like Brienne of Tarth 's ( left ) , were manufactured for the series . Michele Clapton was costume designer for Game of Thrones ' first five seasons before she was replaced by April Ferry . Clapton returned to the series as costume designer for the seventh season . The costumes used in the series drew inspiration from a number of sources , such as Japanese and Persian armour . Dothraki dress resembles that of the Bedouin ( one was made out of fish skins to resemble dragon scales ) , and the Wildlings wear animal skins like the Inuit . Wildling bone armor is made from molds of actual bones , and is assembled with string and latex resembling catgut . Although the extras who play Wildlings and the Night 's Watch often wear hats ( normal in a cold climate ) , members of the principal cast usually do not so viewers can recognize the main characters . Björk 's Alexander McQueen high - neckline dresses inspired Margaery Tyrell 's funnel - neck outfit , and prostitutes ' dresses are designed for easy removal . All clothing used is aged for two weeks so it appears realistic on high - definition television . About two dozen wigs are used for the actresses . Made of human hair and up to 2 feet ( 61 cm ) in length , they cost up to $7,000 each and are washed and styled like real hair . Applying the wigs is time - consuming ; Emilia Clarke , for example , requires about two hours to style her brunette hair with a platinum - blonde wig and braids . Other actors , such as Jack Gleeson and Sophie Turner , receive frequent hair coloring . For characters such as Daenerys ( Clarke ) and her Dothraki , their hair , wigs and costumes are processed to appear as if they have not been washed for weeks . Makeup For the first three seasons , Paul Engelen was Game of Thrones ' main makeup designer and prosthetic makeup artist with Melissa Lackersteen , Conor O'Sullivan and Rob Trenton . At the beginning of the fourth season Engelen 's team was replaced by Jane Walker and her crew , composed of Ann McEwan and Barrie and Sarah Gower . Visual Effects For the series ' large number of visual effects , HBO hired British - based BlueBolt and Irish - based Screen Scene for season one . Most of the environment builds were done as 2.5 D projections , giving viewers perspective while keeping the programming from being overwhelming . In 2011 , the season - one finale , `` Fire and Blood '' , was nominated for a Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Special Visual Effects . Because the effects became more complex in subsequent seasons ( including CGI creatures , fire , and water ) , German - based Pixomondo became the lead visual - effects producer ; nine of its twelve facilities contributed to the project for season two , with Stuttgart the lead . Scenes were also produced by British - based Peanut FX , Canadian - based Spin VFX , and U.S. - based Gradient Effects . `` Valar Morghulis '' and `` Valar Dohaeris '' earned Pixomondo Primetime Emmy Awards for Outstanding Special Visual Effects in 2012 and 2013 , respectively . For season four , HBO added German - based Mackevision to the project . The season - four finale , `` The Children '' , won the 2014 Emmy Award for Visual Effects . Additional producers for season four included Canadian - based Rodeo FX , German - based Scanline VFX and U.S. - based BAKED FX . The muscle and wing movements of the adolescent dragons in seasons four and five were based largely on those of a chicken . Pixomondo retained a team of 22 to 30 people which focused solely on visualizing Daenerys Targaryen 's dragons , with the average production time per season of 20 to 22 weeks . For the fifth season , HBO added Canadian - based Image Engine and U.S. - based Crazy Horse Effects to its list of main visual - effects producers . Sound Unusual for a television series , the sound team receives a rough cut of a full season and approaches it as a ten - hour feature film . Although seasons one and two had different sound teams , one team has been in charge of sound since then . For the series 's blood - and - gore sounds , the team often uses a chamois . For dragon screams , mating tortoises and dolphin , seal , lion and bird sounds have been used . Title sequence Main article : Game of Thrones title sequence The series ' title sequence was created by production studio Elastic for HBO . Creative director Angus Wall and his collaborators received the 2011 Primetime Emmy Award for Main Title Design for the sequence , which depicts a three - dimensional map of the series ' fictional world . The map is projected on the inside of a sphere which is centrally lit by a small sun in an armillary sphere . As the camera moves across the map , focusing on the locations of the episode 's events , clockwork mechanisms intertwine and allow buildings and other structures to emerge from the map . Accompanied by the title music , the names of the principal cast and creative staff appear . The sequence concludes after about 90 seconds with the title card and brief opening credits indicating the episode 's writer ( s ) and director . Its composition changes as the story progresses , with new locations replacing those featuring less prominently or not at all . Music Main article : Music of Game of Thrones Ramin Djawadi composed the Game of Thrones score . The music for the series was composed by Ramin Djawadi . The first season 's soundtrack , written in about ten weeks before the premiere , was published by Varèse Sarabande in June 2011 . Soundtrack albums for subsequent seasons have been released , with tracks by the National , the Hold Steady and Sigur Rós . Djawadi has composed themes for each of the major houses and also for some of the main characters . The themes may evolve over time , as Daenerys Targaryen 's theme started small and then became more powerful after each season . Her theme started first with a single instrument , a cello , and Djawadi later incorporated more instruments for it . Language The Westerosi characters of Game of Thrones speak British - accented English , often ( but not consistently ) with the accent of the English region corresponding to the character 's Westerosi region . The Northerner Eddard Stark speaks in actor Sean Bean 's native northern accent , and the southern lord Tywin Lannister speaks with a southern accent , while characters from Dorne speak English with a Spanish accent . Characters foreign to Westeros often have a non-British accent . Although the common language of Westeros is represented as English , the producers charged linguist David J. Peterson with constructing Dothraki and Valyrian languages based on the few words in the novels ; Dothraki and Valyrian dialogue is often subtitled in English . It has been reported that during the series these fictional languages have been heard by more people than the Welsh , Irish , and Scots Gaelic languages combined . Effect on location Game of Thrones is funded by Northern Ireland Screen , a UK government agency financed by Invest NI and the European Regional Development Fund . As of April 2013 , Northern Ireland Screen gave the series £ 9.25 million ( $14.37 million ) ; according to government estimates , this has benefited the Northern Ireland economy by £ 65 million ( $100.95 million ) . Tourism Ireland has a Game of Thrones - themed marketing campaign similar to New Zealand 's Tolkien - related advertising . Invest NI and the Northern Ireland Tourist Board also expect the series to generate tourism revenue . According to Arlene Foster , the series has given Northern Ireland the most non-political publicity in its history . The production of Game of Thrones and other TV series also boosted Northern Ireland 's creative industries , contributing to an estimated 12.4 - percent growth in arts , entertainment and recreation jobs between 2008 and 2013 ( compared with 4.3 percent in the rest of the UK during the same period ) . Tourism organizations elsewhere reported increases in bookings after their locations appeared in Game of Thrones . In 2012 , bookings through LateRooms.com increased by 28 percent in Dubrovnik and 13 percent in Iceland . The following year , bookings doubled in Ouarzazate , Morocco ( the location of Daenerys ' season - three scenes ) . Game of Thrones has been attributed as a significant factor in the boom of tourism in Iceland that had a strong impact on its economy . Tourist numbers increased by 30 % in 2015 , followed by another 40 % in 2016 , with a final figure of 2.4 million visitors expected for 2016 , which is around seven times the population of the country . Availability Broadcast Game of Thrones is broadcast by HBO in the United States and by its local subsidiaries or other pay television services in other countries , at the same time as in the U.S. or weeks ( or months ) later . The series ' broadcast in China on CCTV , begun in 2014 , was heavily edited to remove scenes of sex and violence in accordance with a Chinese practice of censoring Western TV series to prevent what the People 's Daily calls `` negative effects and hidden security dangers '' . This resulted in viewer complaints about the incoherence of what remained . Broadcasters carrying Game of Thrones include Showcase in Australia ; HBO Canada , Super Écran and Showcase in Canada ; HBO Latin America in Latin America ; SoHo and Prime in New Zealand , and Sky Atlantic in the United Kingdom and Ireland . Home video The ten episodes of the first season of Game of Thrones were released as a DVD and Blu - ray box set on March 6 , 2012 . The box set includes extra background and behind - the - scenes material but no deleted scenes , since nearly all the footage shot for the first season was used . The box set sold over 350,000 copies in the first week after release , the largest first - week DVD sales ever for an HBO series , and the series set an HBO - series record for digital - download sales . A collector 's - edition box set was released in November 2012 , combining the DVD and Blu - ray versions of the first season with the first episode of season two . A paperweight in the shape of a dragon egg is included in the set . DVD - Blu - ray box sets and digital downloads of the second season became available on February 19 , 2013 . First - day sales broke HBO records , with 241,000 box sets sold and 355,000 episodes downloaded . The third season was made available for purchase as a digital download on the Australian iTunes Store , parallel to the U.S. premiere , and was released on DVD and Blu - ray in region 1 on February 18 , 2014 . The fourth season was released on DVD and Blu - ray on February 17 , 2015 , and the fifth season on March 15 , 2016 . The sixth season was released on Blu - ray and DVD on November 15 , 2016 . Beginning in 2016 , HBO began issuing Steelbook Blu - ray sets which include both Dolby TrueHD 7.1 and Dolby Atmos audio options . Copyright infringement Game of Thrones has been widely pirated , primarily outside the U.S. According to the file - sharing news website TorrentFreak , Game of Thrones has been the most - pirated TV series since 2012 , which means it has held the record for six years in a row . Illegal downloads increased to about seven million in the first quarter of 2015 , up 45 percent from 2014 . An unnamed episode was downloaded about 4,280,000 times through public BitTorrent trackers in 2012 , roughly equal to its number of broadcast viewers . Piracy rates were particularly high in Australia , and U.S. Ambassador to Australia Jeff Bleich issued a statement condemning Australian piracy of the series in 2013 . Delays in availability apart from HBO and its affiliates before 2015 and the cost of subscriptions to these services have been cited as causes of the series ' illegal distribution . According to TorrentFreak , a subscription to a service for Game of Thrones would cost up to $25 per month in the United States , up to £ 26 per episode in the UK and up to $52 per episode in Australia . For `` combating piracy '' , HBO said in 2013 that it intended to make its content more widely available within a week of the U.S. premiere ( including HBO Go ) . In 2015 , the fifth season was simulcast to 170 countries and to HBO Now users . On April 11 , the day before the season premiere , screener copies of the first four episodes of the fifth season leaked to a number of file - sharing websites . Within a day of the leak , the files were downloaded over 800,000 times ; in one week the illegal downloads reached 32 million , with the season - five premiere alone ( `` The Wars to Come '' ) pirated 13 million times . The season - five finale ( `` Mother 's Mercy '' ) was the most simultaneously shared file in the history of the BitTorrent filesharing protocol , with over 250,000 simultaneous sharers and over 1.5 million downloads in eight hours . For the sixth season , HBO did not send screeners to the press , so as to prevent the spread of unlicensed copies and possible spoilers . Observers , including series director David Petrarca and Time Warner CEO Jeff Bewkes , said that illegal downloads did not hurt the series ' prospects ; it benefited from `` buzz '' and social commentary , and the high piracy rate did not significantly translate to lost subscriptions . According to Polygon , HBO 's relaxed attitude towards piracy and the sharing of login credentials amounted to a premium - television `` free - to - play '' model . At a 2015 Oxford Union debate , series co-creator David Benioff said that he was just glad that people watched the series ; illegally downloaded episodes sometimes interested viewers enough to buy a copy , especially in countries where Game of Thrones was not televised . Co-creator D.B. Weiss had mixed feelings , saying that the series was expensive to produce and `` if it does n't make the money back , then it ceases to exist '' . However , he was pleased that so many people `` enjoy the show so much they ca n't wait to get their hands on it . '' In 2015 , Guinness World Records called Game of Thrones the most - pirated television program . IMAX Beginning on January 23 , 2015 , the last two episodes of season four were shown in 205 IMAX theaters across the United States ; Game of Thrones is the first TV series shown in this format . The show earned $686,000 at the box office on its opening day and $1.5 million during its opening weekend ; the week - long release grossed $1,896,092 . Reception and achievements Game of Thrones was highly anticipated by fans before its premiere , and has become a critical and commercial success . According to The Guardian , by 2014 it was `` the biggest drama '' and `` the most talked about show '' on television . Cultural influence Although Game of Thrones was dismissed by some critics before it began , its success has been credited with an increase in the popularity of fantasy themes . On the eve of the second season 's premiere , a CNN.com blog post by Joel Williams read , `` After this weekend , you may be hard pressed to find someone who is n't a fan of some form of epic fantasy '' and cited Ian Bogost as saying that the series continues a trend of successful screen adaptations beginning with Peter Jackson 's 2001 The Lord of the Rings film trilogy and the Harry Potter films establishing fantasy as a mass - market genre ; they are `` gateway drugs to fantasy fan culture '' . Its success in the face of its genre was attributed by writers to a longing for escapism in popular culture , frequent female nudity and a skill in balancing lighthearted and serious topics ( dragons and politics , for example ) which provided it with a prestige enjoyed by conventional , top - tier drama series . The series ' popularity increased sales of the A Song of Ice and Fire novels ( republished in tie - in editions ) , which remained at the top of bestseller lists for months . According to The Daily Beast , Game of Thrones was a favorite of sitcom writers and the series has been referred to in other TV series . With other fantasy series , it has been cited for an increase in the purchase ( and abandonment ) of huskies and other wolf - like dogs . Game of Thrones has added to the popular vocabulary . The first season 's scene in which Petyr Baelish explains his motives ( or background ) while prostitutes had sex in the background gave rise to the word `` sexposition '' for providing exposition with sex and nudity . `` Dothraki '' , the series ' nomadic horsemen , was ranked fourth in a September 2012 Global Language Monitor list of words from television most used on the Internet . In 2012 , the media used `` Game of Thrones '' as a figure of speech or comparison for situations of intense conflict and deceit , such as the 2012 United States Supreme Court decision regarding healthcare reform legislation , the Syrian Civil War and the ousting of Bo Xilai from the Chinese government . `` Khaleesi '' has increased in popularity as a name for baby girls in the United States . In the novels and the TV series , the word is a title meaning the wife of a Khal ( warlord ) in the Dothraki language held by Daenerys Targaryen , and not actually a name . Critical response Season Critical response Rotten Tomatoes Metacritic 90 % ( 36 reviews ) 80 ( 28 reviews ) 96 % ( 35 reviews ) 90 ( 26 reviews ) 97 % ( 43 reviews ) 91 ( 25 reviews ) 97 % ( 43 reviews ) 94 ( 29 reviews ) 5 95 % ( 53 reviews ) 91 ( 29 reviews ) 6 94 % ( 30 reviews ) 73 ( 9 reviews ) 7 94 % ( 46 reviews ) 77 ( 12 reviews ) Game of Thrones has received critical acclaim , although the series ' frequent use of nudity and violence has been criticized . Its seasons have appeared on annual `` best of '' lists published by The Washington Post ( 2011 ) , TIME ( 2011 and 2012 ) and The Hollywood Reporter ( 2012 ) . The performances of the cast have received immense praise . Peter Dinklage 's `` charming , morally ambiguous , and self - aware '' Tyrion , who earned him Emmy and Golden Globe awards , was noted . `` In many ways , Game of Thrones belongs to Dinklage '' , wrote Mary McNamara of the L.A. Times before Tyrion became the series ' central figure in season two . Several critics highlighted performances by actresses and children . Fourteen - year - old Maisie Williams , noted in the first season for her debut as Arya Stark , was singled out for her season - two work with veteran actor Charles Dance ( Tywin Lannister ) . Stephen Dillane has received positive reviews for his performance as Stannis Baratheon , especially in the fifth season , with one critic noting `` Whether you like Stannis or not , you have to admit that Stephen Dillane delivered a monumental performance this season . '' The series has a rating of 97 percent on Rotten Tomatoes , with an average score of 8.4 out of 10 based on 44 reviews . All episodes had positive reviews of 91 percent or higher on Rotten Tomatoes , and a 97 - percent rating ( based on 50 reviews ) for the season as a whole . On Rotten Tomatoes , it has a rating of 95 percent and an average score of 8.6 out of 10 ( based on 52 reviews ) . The season has a rating of 96 percent on Rotten Tomatoes , with an average score of 8.4 out of 10 based on 29 reviews . After the first episode aired , the seventh season held a rating of 97 percent on Rotten Tomatoes , with an average score of 8.2 out of 10 based on 29 reviews . First - season reviewers said the series had high production values , a fully realized world and compelling characters . According to Variety , `` There may be no show more profitable to its network than ' Game of Thrones ' is to HBO . Fully produced by the pay cabler and already a global phenomenon after only one season , the fantasy skein was a gamble that has paid off handsomely '' . The second season was also well received . Entertainment Weekly praised its `` vivid , vital , and just plain fun '' storytelling and , according to the Hollywood Reporter , the series made a `` strong case for being one of TV 's best series '' ; its seriousness made it the only drama comparable to Mad Men or Breaking Bad . The New York Times gave the series a mixed review , criticizing its number of characters , their lack of complexity and a meandering plot . The third season was extremely well received by critics , with Metacritic giving it a score of 91 out of 100 ( indicating `` universal acclaim '' ) . The fourth season was similarly praised ; Metacritic gave it a score of 94 out of 100 based on 29 reviews , again indicating `` universal acclaim '' . The fifth season was also well received by critics and has a score of 91 out of 100 ( based on 29 reviews ) on Metacritic . The sixth season has been praised by critics , though not as highly as its predecessors . It has a score of 73 on Metacritic ( based on nine reviews ) , indicating `` generally favorable reviews '' . The seventh season scored 77 out of 100 ( based on twelve reviews ) and was praised for its action sequences and focused central characters , but received criticism for its breakneck pace and plot developments that `` defied logic . '' Sex and violence Despite its otherwise enthusiastic reception by critics , Game of Thrones has been criticized for the amount of female nudity , violence , and sexual violence ( especially against women ) it depicts , and for the manner in which it depicts these themes . The Atlantic called the series ' `` tendency to ramp up the sex , violence , and -- especially -- sexual violence '' of the source material `` the defining weakness '' of the adaptation . George R.R. Martin responded that he feels obliged to be truthful about history and human nature , and that rape and sexual violence are common in war ; and that omitting them from the narrative would have rung false and undermined one of his novels ' themes , its historical realism . HBO said that they `` fully support the vision and artistry of Dan and David 's exceptional work and we feel this work speaks for itself . '' The amount of sex and nudity in the series , especially in scenes that are incidental to the plot , was the focus of much of the criticism aimed at the series in its first and second seasons . Stephen Dillane , who portrays Stannis Baratheon , likened the series ' frequent explicit scenes to `` German porn from the 1970s '' . Charlie Anders wrote in io9 that while the first season was replete with light - hearted `` sexposition '' , the second season appeared to focus on distasteful , exploitative , and dehumanizing sex with little informational content . According to The Washington Post 's Anna Holmes , the nude scenes appeared to be aimed mainly at titillating heterosexual men , right down to the Brazilian waxes sported by the women in the series ' faux - medieval setting , which made these scenes alienating to other viewers . The Huffington Post 's Maureen Ryan likewise noted that Game of Thrones mostly presented women naked , rather than men , and that the excess of `` random boobage '' undercut any aspirations the series might have to address the oppression of women in a feudal society . Saturday Night Live parodied this aspect of the adaptation in a sketch that portrayed the series as retaining a thirteen - year - old boy as a consultant whose main concern was showing as many breasts as possible . In the third season , which saw Theon Greyjoy lengthily tortured and eventually emasculated , the series was also criticized for its use of torture . New York magazine called the scene `` torture porn . '' Madeleine Davies of Jezebel agreed , saying , `` it 's not uncommon that Game of Thrones gets accused of being torture porn -- senseless , objectifying violence combined with senseless , objectifying sexual imagery . '' According to Davies , although the series ' violence tended to serve a narrative purpose , Theon 's torture in `` The Bear and the Maiden Fair '' was excessive . A scene in the fourth season 's episode `` Breaker of Chains '' , in which Jaime Lannister rapes his sister and lover Cersei , triggered a broad public discussion about the series ' depiction of sexual violence against women . According to Dave Itzkoff of The New York Times , the scene caused outrage , in part because of comments by director Alex Graves that the scene became `` consensual by the end '' . Itzkoff also wrote that critics fear that `` rape has become so pervasive in the drama that it is almost background noise : a routine and unshocking occurrence '' . Sonia Saraiya of The A.V. Club wrote that the series ' choice to portray this sexual act , and a similar one between Daenerys Targaryen and Khal Drogo in the first season -- both described as consensual in the source novels -- as a rape appeared to be an act of `` exploitation for shock value '' . In the fifth season 's episode `` Unbowed , Unbent , Unbroken '' , Sansa Stark is raped by Ramsay Bolton . Most reviewers , including those from Vanity Fair , Salon , The Atlantic , and The Daily Beast , found the scene gratuitous and artistically unnecessary . For example , Joanna Robinson , writing for Vanity Fair , said that the scene `` undercuts all the agency that 's been growing in Sansa since the end of last season . '' In contrast , Sara Stewart of The New York Post wondered why viewers were not similarly upset about the many background and minor characters who 'd undergone similar or worse treatment . In response to the scene , pop culture website The Mary Sue announced that it would cease coverage of the series because of the repeated use of rape as a plot device , and U.S. Senator Claire McCaskill said that she would no longer watch it . As the sixth and seventh seasons saw Daenerys , Sansa and Cersei assume ruling positions , Alyssa Rosenberg of the Washington Post noted that the series could be seen as a `` long - arc revenge fantasy about what happens when women who have been brutalized and raped gain power '' -- namely , that their past leaves them too broken to do anything but commit brutal acts in their own turn , and that their personal liberation does not effect the social change needed to protect others from suffering .

"Set on the fictional continents of Westeros and Essos, Game of Thrones has several plot lines and a large ensemble cast but centers on three primary story arcs. The first story arc centers on the Iron Throne of the Seven Kingdoms and follows a web of alliances and conflicts among the dynastic noble families either vying to claim the throne or fighting for independence from the throne. The second story arc focuses on the last descendant of the realm's deposed ruling dynasty, exiled and plotting a return to the throne. The third story arc centers on the longstanding brotherhood charged with defending the realm against the ancient threats of the fierce peoples and legendary creatures that lie far north, and an impending winter that threatens the realm.\n"

-6025958195676051383 | Ark of the Covenant | Ark of the Covenant - wikipedia Ark of the Covenant Jump to : navigation , search Not to be confused with Noah 's Ark . Joshua passing the River Jordan with the Ark of the Covenant by Benjamin West , 1800 The Ark of the Covenant ( Hebrew : אָרוֹן הַבְּרִית , Modern Arōn Ha'brēt , Tiberian ʾĀrôn Habbərîṯ ) , also known as the Ark of the Testimony , is a gold - covered wooden chest with lid cover described in the Book of Exodus as containing the two stone tablets of the Ten Commandments . According to various texts within the Hebrew Bible , it also contained Aaron 's rod and a pot of manna . Hebrews 9 : 4 describes : `` The ark of the covenant ( was ) covered on all sides with gold , in which was a golden jar holding the manna , and Aaron 's rod which budded , and the tables of the covenant . '' The biblical account relates that , approximately one year after the Israelites ' exodus from Egypt , the Ark was created according to the pattern given to Moses by God when the Israelites were encamped at the foot of biblical Mount Sinai . Thereafter , the gold - plated acacia chest was carried by its staves while en route by the Levites approximately 2,000 cubits ( approximately 800 meters or 2,600 feet ) in advance of the people when on the march or before the Israelite army , the host of fighting men . When carried , the Ark was always hidden under a large veil made of skins and blue cloth , always carefully concealed , even from the eyes of the priests and the Levites who carried it . God was said to have spoken with Moses `` from between the two cherubim '' on the Ark 's cover . When at rest the tabernacle was set up and the holy Ark was placed under the veil of the covering , the staves of it crossing the middle side bars to hold it up off the ground .

Construction and description ( edit ) According to the Book of Exodus , God instructed Moses on Mount Sinai during his 40 - day stay upon the mountain within the thick cloud and darkness where God was and he was shown the pattern for the tabernacle and furnishings of the Ark to be made of shittim wood to house the Tablets of Stone . Moses instructed Bezalel and Oholiab to construct the Ark . In Deuteronomy , however , the Ark is said to have been built specifically by Moses himself without reference of Bezalel or Oholiab . The Book of Exodus gives detailed instructions on how the Ark is to be constructed . It is to be 21⁄2 cubits in length , 11⁄2 in breadth , and 11⁄2 in height ( approximately 131 × 79 × 79 cm or 52 × 31 × 31 in ) . Then it is to be gilded entirely with gold , and a crown or molding of gold is to be put around it . Four rings of gold are to be attached to its four corners , two on each side -- and through these rings staves of shittim - wood overlaid with gold for carrying the Ark are to be inserted ; and these are not to be removed . A golden lid , the kapporet ( traditionally `` mercy seat '' in Christian translations ) which is covered with 2 golden cherubim , is to be placed above the Ark . Instructions missing from the biblical account include the thickness of the mercy seat , but instruct that the cherubim cover be beaten out the ends of it and details concerning the cherubim except that they form the space that God will appear . The Ark is finally to be placed under the veil of the covering . Mobile vanguard ( edit ) Moses and Joshua bowing before the Ark , painting by James Tissot , c. 1900 The biblical account continues that , after its creation by Moses , the Ark was carried by the Israelites during their 40 years of wandering in the desert . Whenever the Israelites camped , the Ark was placed in a separate room in a sacred tent , called the Tabernacle . When the Israelites , led by Joshua toward the Promised Land , arrived at the banks of the Jordan river , the Ark was carried in the lead preceding the people and was the signal for their advance . During the crossing , the river grew dry as soon as the feet of the priests carrying the Ark touched its waters , and remained so until the priests -- with the Ark -- left the river after the people had passed over . As memorials , twelve stones were taken from the Jordan at the place where the priests had stood . In the Battle of Jericho , the Ark was carried round the city once a day for seven days , preceded by the armed men and seven priests sounding seven trumpets of rams ' horns . On the seventh day , the seven priests sounding the seven trumpets of rams ' horns before the Ark compassed the city seven times and , with a great shout , Jericho 's wall fell down flat and the people took the city . After the defeat at Ai , Joshua lamented before the Ark . When Joshua read the Law to the people between Mount Gerizim and Mount Ebal , they stood on each side of the Ark . We next hear of the Ark in Bethel where it was being cared for by the priest Phineas the grandson of Aaron ( where ' Bethel ' is translated ' the House of God ' in the King James Version ) . According to this verse it was consulted by the people of Israel when they were planning to attack the Benjaminites at the battle of Gibeah . Later , however , the Ark was kept at Shiloh , another religious centre some 16 km north of Bethel , at the time of the prophet Samuel 's apprenticeship , where it was cared for by Hophni and Phinehas , two sons of Eli . Capture by the Philistines ( edit ) 1728 illustration of the Ark at the erection of the Tabernacle and the sacred vessels , as in Exodus 40 : 17 - 19 Main article : Philistine captivity of the Ark A few years later the elders of Israel decided to take the Ark out onto the battlefield to assist them against the Philistines , after being defeated at the battle of Eben - Ezer . They were , however , heavily defeated with the loss of 30,000 men . The Ark was captured by the Philistines and Hophni and Phinehas were killed . The news of its capture was at once taken to Shiloh by a messenger `` with his clothes rent , and with earth upon his head . '' The old priest , Eli , fell dead when he heard it ; and his daughter - in - law , bearing a son at the time the news of the capture of the Ark was received , named him Ichabod -- explained as `` The glory has departed Israel '' in reference to the loss of the Ark . The mother of the child Ichabod died at his birth . The Philistines took the Ark to several places in their country , and at each place misfortune befell them . At Ashdod it was placed in the temple of Dagon . The next morning Dagon was found prostrate , bowed down , before it ; and on being restored to his place , he was on the following morning again found prostrate and broken . The people of Ashdod were smitten with tumors ; a plague of mice was sent over the land . The affliction of boils was also visited upon the people of Gath and of Ekron , whither the Ark was successively removed . After the Ark had been among them for seven months , the Philistines , on the advice of their diviners , returned it to the Israelites , accompanying its return with an offering consisting of golden images of the tumors and mice wherewith they had been afflicted . The Ark was set up in the field of Joshua the Beth - shemite , and the Beth - shemites offered sacrifices and burnt offerings . Out of curiosity the men of Beth - shemesh gazed at the Ark ; and as a punishment , seventy of them ( fifty thousand and seventy in some translations ) were smitten by the Lord . The Bethshemites sent to Kirjath - jearim , or Baal - Judah , to have the Ark removed ; and it was taken to the house of Abinadab , whose son Eleazar was sanctified to keep it . Kirjath - jearim remained the abode of the Ark for twenty years . Under Saul , the Ark was with the army before he first met the Philistines , but the king was too impatient to consult it before engaging in battle . In 1 Chronicles 13 : 3 it is stated that the people were not accustomed to consulting the Ark in the days of Saul . In the days of King David ( edit ) Illustration from the 13th century Morgan Bible of David bringing the Ark into Jerusalem ( 2 Samuel 6 ) . At the beginning of his reign over the United Monarchy , King David removed the Ark from Kirjath - jearim amid great rejoicing . On the way to Zion , Uzzah , one of the drivers of the cart that carried the Ark , put out his hand to steady the Ark , and was struck dead by God for touching it . The place was subsequently named `` Perez - Uzzah '' , literally `` Outburst Against Uzzah '' , as a result . David , in fear , carried the Ark aside into the house of Obed - edom the Gittite , instead of carrying it on to Zion , and there it stayed three months . On hearing that God had blessed Obed - edom because of the presence of the Ark in his house , David had the Ark brought to Zion by the Levites , while he himself , `` girded with a linen ephod ... danced before the Lord with all his might '' and in the sight of all the public gathered in Jerusalem - a performance that caused him to be scornfully rebuked by his first wife , Saul 's daughter Michal . In Zion , David put the Ark in the tabernacle he had prepared for it , offered sacrifices , distributed food , and blessed the people and his own household . The Levites were appointed to minister before the Ark . David 's plan of building a temple for the Ark was stopped at the advice of God . The Ark was with the army during the siege of Rabbah ; and when David fled from Jerusalem at the time of Absalom 's conspiracy , the Ark was carried along with him until he ordered Zadok the priest to return it to Jerusalem . In Solomon 's Temple ( edit ) The Ark carried into the Temple from the early 15th century Très Riches Heures du Duc de Berry When Abiathar was dismissed from the priesthood by King Solomon for having taken part in Adonijah 's conspiracy against David , his life was spared because he had formerly borne the Ark . Solomon worshipped before the Ark after his dream in which God promised him wisdom . During the construction of Solomon 's Temple , a special inner room , named Kodesh Hakodashim ( Eng . Holy of Holies ) , was prepared to receive and house the Ark ; and when the Temple was dedicated , the Ark -- containing the original tablets of the Ten Commandments -- was placed therein . When the priests emerged from the holy place after placing the Ark there , the Temple was filled with a cloud , `` for the glory of the Lord had filled the house of the Lord '' . When Solomon married Pharaoh 's daughter , he caused her to dwell in a house outside Zion , as Zion was consecrated because of its containing the Ark . King Josiah also had the Ark returned to the Temple , from which it appears to have been removed by one of his predecessors ( cf. 2 Chron. 33 - 34 and 2 Kings 21 - 23 ) . The Babylonian conquest and aftermath ( edit ) In 587 BC , the Babylonians destroyed Jerusalem and Solomon 's Temple . There is no record of what became of the Ark in the Books of Kings and Chronicles . An ancient Greek version of the biblical third Book of Ezra , 1 Esdras , suggests that Babylonians took away the vessels of the ark of God , but does not mention taking away the Ark : And they took all the holy vessels of the Lord , both great and small , with the vessels of the ark of God , and the king 's treasures , and carried them away into Babylon In Rabbinic literature , the final disposition of the Ark is disputed . Some rabbis hold that it must have been carried off to Babylon , while others hold that it must have been hidden lest it be carried off into Babylon and never brought back . A late 2nd - century rabbinic work known as the Tosefta states the opinions of these rabbis that Josiah , the king of Judah , stored away the Ark , along with the jar of manna , and a jar containing the holy anointing oil , the rod of Aaron which budded and a chest given to Israel by the Philistines . This was said to have been done in order to prevent their being carried off into Babylon as had already happened to the other vessels . Rabbi Eliezer and Rabbi Shimon , in the same rabbinic work , state that the Ark was , in fact , taken into Babylon . Rabbi Yehudah , dissenting , says that the Ark was stored away in its own place , meaning , somewhere on the Temple Mount . References in scripture ( edit ) Tanakh ( edit ) The Ark is first mentioned in the Book of Exodus , and then numerous times in Deuteronomy , Joshua , Judges , I Samuel , II Samuel , I Kings , I Chronicles , II Chronicles , Psalms and Jeremiah . In the Book of Jeremiah , it is referenced by Jeremiah , who , speaking in the days of Josiah , prophesied a future time , possibly the end of days , when the Ark will no longer be talked about or be made again : And it shall be that when you multiply and become fruitful in the land , in those days - the word of the LORD - they will no longer say , ' The Ark of the Covenant of the LORD ' and it will not come to mind ; they will not mention it , and will not recall it , and it will not be used any more . Rashi comments on this verse that `` The entire people will be so imbued with the spirit of sanctity that God 's Presence will rest upon them collectively , as if the congregation itself was the Ark of the Covenant . '' Second Book of Maccabees ( edit ) See also : 2 Maccabees According to Second Maccabees , at the beginning of chapter 2 : The records show that it was the prophet Jeremiah who ... prompted by a divine message ... gave orders that the Tent of Meeting and the ark should go with him . Then he went away to the mountain from the top of which Moses saw God 's promised land . When he reached the mountain , Jeremiah found a cave - dwelling ; he carried the tent , the ark , and the incense - altar into it , then blocked up the entrance . Some of his companions came to mark out the way , but were unable to find it . When Jeremiah learnt of this he reprimanded them . `` The place shall remain unknown '' , he said , `` until God finally gathers his people together and shows mercy to them . The Lord will bring these things to light again , and the glory of the Lord will appear with the cloud , as it was seen both in the time of Moses and when Solomon prayed that the shrine might be worthily consecrated . '' The `` mountain from the top of which Moses saw God 's promised land '' would be Mount Nebo , located in what is now Jordan . The Ark in Islamic sources ( edit ) Chapter 2 ( Sura 2 ) of the Quran ( Verse 248 ) , is believed to refer to the Ark : And their prophet said to them , `` Indeed , a sign of his kingship is that the chest ( tābūt ) will come to you in which is assurance ( sakīnatun ) from your Lord and a remnant of what the family of Moses ( Mūsā ) and the family of Aaron ( Hārūn ) had left , carried by the angels . Indeed in that is a sign for you , if you are believers . '' The Arabic word sakīna ( variously translated `` peace of reassurance '' or `` spirit of tranquility '' ) is related to the post-Biblical Hebrew shekhinah , meaning `` dwelling or presence of God '' . The Islamic scholar Al Baidawi mentioned that the sakina could be Tawrat , the Books of Moses . According to Al - Jalalan , the relics in the Ark were the fragments of the two tablets , rods , robes , shoes , mitres of Moses and the vase of manna . Al - Tha'alibi , in Qisas Al - Anbiya ( The Stories of the Prophets ) , has given an earlier and later history of the Ark . According to Uri Rubin the Ark of the Covenant has a religious basis in Islam , and Islam gives it special significance . Possible locations ( edit ) Since its disappearance from the Biblical narrative , there has been a number of claims of having discovered or of having possession of the Ark , and several possible places have been suggested for its location . Mount Nebo ( edit ) 2 Maccabees 2 : 4 - 10 , written around 100 BC , says that the prophet Jeremiah , `` being warned by God '' before the Babylonian invasion , took the Ark , the Tabernacle , and the Altar of Incense , and buried them in a cave on Mount Nebo , informing those of his followers who wished to find the place that it should remain unknown `` until the time that God should gather His people again together , and receive them unto mercy . '' Mount Nebo is also described in the Bible ( Deuteronomy 34 ) as the site from which Moses views the Promised Land , and apparently also is his final burial place . Mount Nebo is approximately 47 km ( 29 miles ) slightly south of due east from Jerusalem , near the east bank of the Jordan River . Ethiopia ( edit ) The Chapel of the Tablet at the Church of Our Lady Mary of Zion in Axum allegedly houses the original Ark of the Covenant . The Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church claims to possess the Ark of the Covenant , or Tabot , in Axum . The object is currently kept under guard in a treasury near the Church of Our Lady Mary of Zion . Replicas of the Axum tabot are kept in every Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo church , each with its own dedication to a particular saint ; the most popular of these include Mary , George and Michael . The Kebra Nagast was composed to legitimise the Solomonic dynasty , which ruled the Ethiopian Empire following its establishment in 1270 . It narrates how the real Ark of the Covenant was brought to Ethiopia by Menelik I with divine assistance , while a forgery was left in the Temple in Jerusalem . Although the Kebra Nagast is the best - known account of this belief , it predates the document . Abu al - Makarim , writing in the last quarter of the twelfth century , makes one early reference to this belief that they possessed the Ark . `` The Abyssinians possess also the Ark of the Covenant '' , he wrote , and , after a description of the object , describes how the liturgy is celebrated upon the Ark four times a year , `` on the feast of the great nativity , on the feast of the glorious Baptism , on the feast of the holy Resurrection , and on the feast of the illuminating Cross . '' In his 1992 book The Sign and the Seal , British writer Graham Hancock suggests , contrary to the Kebra Nagast , that the ark spent several years in Egypt before it came to Ethiopia via the Nile River , where it was kept in the islands of Lake Tana for about four hundred years and finally taken to Axum . Archaeologist John Holladay of the University of Toronto called Hancock 's theory `` garbage and hogwash , '' while Edward Ullendorff , a former Professor of Ethiopian Studies at the University of London , said he `` wasted a lot of time reading it . '' On 25 June 2009 , the patriarch of the Orthodox Church of Ethiopia , Abune Paulos , said he would announce to the world the next day the unveiling of the Ark of the Covenant , which he said had been kept safe and secure in a church in Axum , Ethiopia . The following day , on 26 June 2009 , the patriarch announced that he would not unveil the Ark after all , but that instead he could attest to its current status . Southern Africa ( edit ) The Lemba people of South Africa and Zimbabwe have claimed that their ancestors carried the Ark south , calling it the ngoma lungundu or `` voice of God '' , eventually hiding it in a deep cave in the Dumghe mountains , their spiritual home . On 14 April 2008 , in a UK Channel 4 documentary , Tudor Parfitt , taking a literalist approach to the Biblical story , described his research into this claim . He says that the object described by the Lemba has attributes similar to the Ark . It was of similar size , was carried on poles by priests , was not allowed to touch the ground , was revered as a voice of their God , and was used as a weapon of great power , sweeping enemies aside . In his book The Lost Ark of the Covenant ( 2008 ) , Parfitt also suggests that the Ark was taken to Arabia following the events depicted in the Second Book of Maccabees , and cites Arabic sources which maintain it was brought in distant times to Yemen . One Lemba clan , the Buba , which was supposed to have brought the Ark to Africa , have a genetic signature called the Cohen Modal Haplotype . This suggests a male Semitic link to the Levant . Lemba tradition maintains that the Ark spent some time in Sena in Yemen . Later , it was taken across the sea to East Africa and may have been taken inland at the time of the Great Zimbabwe civilization . According to their oral traditions , some time after the arrival of the Lemba with the Ark , it self - destructed . Using a core from the original , the Lemba priests constructed a new one . This replica was discovered in a cave by a Swedish German missionary named Harald von Sicard in the 1940s and eventually found its way to the Museum of Human Science in Harare . Parfitt had this artifact radio - carbon dated to about 1350 , which coincided with the sudden end of the Great Zimbabwe civilization . Europe ( edit ) Chartres Cathedral , France ( edit ) French author Louis Charpentier claimed that the Ark was taken to the Chartres Cathedral by the Knights Templar . Rennes - le - Château , then to the United states ( edit ) One author has theorised that the Ark was taken from Jerusalem to the village of Rennes - le - Château in Southern France . Karen Ralls has cited Freemason Patrick Byrne , who believes the Ark was moved from Rennes - le - Château at the outbreak of World War I to the United States . Rome ( edit ) The Ark of the Covenant was said to have been kept in the Basilica of St. John Lateran , surviving the pillages of Rome by Genseric and Alaric I but lost when the basilica burned . `` Rabbi Eliezer ben José stated that he saw in Rome the mercy - seat of the temple . There was a bloodstain on it . On inquiry he was told that it was a stain from the blood which the high priest sprinkled thereon on the Day of Atonement . '' United Kingdom ( edit ) In 2003 , author Graham Phillips hypothetically concluded that the Ark was taken to Mount Sinai in the Valley of Edom by the Maccabees . Phillips claims it remained there until the 1180s , when Ralph de Sudeley , the leader of the Templars found the Maccabean treasure at Jebel al - Madhbah , and returned home to his estate at Herdewyke in Warwickshire , England taking the treasure with him . Ireland ( edit ) During the turn of the 20th century British Israelites carried out some excavations of the Hill of Tara in Ireland looking for the Ark of the Covenant -- the Royal Society of Antiquaries of Ireland campaigned successfully to have them stopped before they destroyed the hill . Egypt ( edit ) Tutankhamun 's tomb ( edit ) Main article : Exhibitions of artifacts from the tomb of Tutankhamun 1922 photograph of the tomb of Tutankhamun . Photograph by Harry Burton ( 1879 - 1940 ) In 1922 in the Valley of the Kings in Egypt , the royal tomb of the Pharaoh Tutankhamun ( KV62 ) was opened by Howard Carter and Lord Carnarvon . Among the artifacts was a processional ark , listed as Shrine 261 , the Anubis Shrine . Almost immediately after publication of the photographs of this sensational archaeological find , some claimed that the Anubis Shrine could be the Ark of the Covenant . John M. Lundquist , author of The Temple of Jerusalem : Past , Present , and Future ( 2008 ) , discounts this idea . The Anubis Shrine measures 95 centimetres ( 37 in ) long , 37 centimetres ( 15 in ) wide , and 54.3 centimetres ( 21.4 in ) high in the shape of a pylon . The Biblical Ark of the Covenant is approximately 133 centimetres ( 52 in ) long , 80 centimetres ( 31 in ) wide , and 80 centimetres ( 31 in ) high in the shape of a rectangular chest . Lundquist observes that the Anubis Shrine is not strictly analogous to the Ark of the Covenant ; it can only be said that the it is `` ark - like '' , constructed of wood , gessoed and gilded , stored within a sacred tomb , `` guarding '' the treasury of the tomb ( and not the primary focus of that environment ) , that it contains compartments within it that store and hold sacred objects , that it has a figure of Anubis on its lid , and that it was carried by two staves permanently inserted into rings at its base and borne by eight priests in the funerary procession to Tutankhamun 's tomb . Its value is the insight it provides to the ancient culture of Egypt . In popular culture ( edit ) The Ark of the Covenant is the main plot device in Steven Spielberg 's 1981 adventure film Raiders of the Lost Ark , which depicts it as located by Indiana Jones in the Egyptian city of Tanis in 1936 . It is mentioned briefly in Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade ( 1989 ) and appears in a cameo in Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull ( 2008 ) . In the Danish family film The Lost Treasure of the Knights Templar from 2006 , the main part of the treasure found in the end is the Ark of the Covenant . The power of the Ark comes from charged static electricity from different metal plates like a giant battery . It appears in the video game Assassin 's Creed ( 2007 ) , where Robert de Sablé found a `` Piece of the Eden '' and Altaïr Ibn - La'Ahad planned to stop him , but he could n't . It 's also mentioned in Assassin 's Creed Chronicles : China ( 2015 ) and in the film Assassin 's Creed ( 2016 ) . Yom HaAliyah ( edit ) Yom HaAliyah ( Aliyah Day ) ( Hebrew : יום העלייה ) is an Israeli national holiday celebrated annually on the tenth of the Hebrew month of Nisan to commemorate the Israelites crossing the Jordan River into the Land of Israel while carrying the Ark of the Covenant .

"In 587 BC, the Babylonians destroyed Jerusalem and Solomon's Temple. There is no record of what became of the Ark in the Books of Kings and Chronicles. An ancient Greek version of the biblical third Book of Ezra, 1 Esdras, suggests that Babylonians took away the vessels of the ark of God, but does not mention taking away the Ark:[58]"

New Hampshire last voted for a Republican , George Bush , in 2000 , and although Trump did not win New Hampshire , the county results were exactly the same in 2000 and 2016 . The deciding factor , however , were the margins . Allegations of voting irregularities ( edit ) On September 7 , 2017 , state House speaker Shawn Jasper announced that data showed that 6,540 people voted using out - of - state licenses . Of those , only 15 % had received state licenses by August 2017 . Of the remaining 5,526 , only 3.3 % had registered a motor vehicle in New Hampshire . In addition to the close vote for president , Democratic Senator Maggie Hassan defeated incumbent Republican Kelly Ayotte by 1,017 votes . In February 2017 , President Trump had told a gathering of senators at the White House that fraudulent out - of - state voting had cost him and Ayotte the election in New Hampshire . Mainstream media disputed Trump 's and Japser 's assertion . New Hampshire law permits New Hampshire residents to vote using out - of - state identification if they are domiciled in the state , out - of - state college students attending schools in New Hampshire being one example of such legitimate use of out - of - state identification .

The series stars Candice Bergen as the eponymous Murphy Brown , a famous investigative journalist and news anchor for FYI , a fictional CBS television newsmagazine , and later for Murphy in the Morning , a cable morning news show . The series originally ran until May 18 , 1998 , after airing a total of 247 episodes over ten seasons . In January 2018 , it was announced that CBS had ordered a 13 - episode revival of Murphy Brown , which premiered on September 27 , 2018 .

Over 40 and single , she is sharp tongued and hard as nails . In her profession , she is considered one of the boys , having shattered many glass ceilings encountered during her career . Dominating the FYI news magazine , she is portrayed as one of America 's hardest - hitting ( though not the warmest or more sympathetic ) media personalities . Her colleagues at FYI include stuffy veteran anchor Jim Dial ( Charles Kimbrough ) , who affectionately addresses Murphy as `` Slugger '' and reminisces about the glory days of Murrow and Cronkite . Murphy 's best friend and sometime competitor is investigative reporter Frank Fontana ( Joe Regalbuto ) , the only person who addresses her as `` Murph '' . Though a daredevil reporter , insecurities regarding fame and ( especially ) his personal relationships have him in psychotherapy for the majority of the series . In early seasons , there was a running gag about Frank 's toupée , which he hated , but which producers insisted he wear on the show . Also present are the two newest members of the FYI team . Miles Silverberg ( Grant Shaud ) , a 25 - year - old yuppie Harvard graduate and overachiever fresh from public television , is appointed the new executive producer of FYI during Murphy 's stay at Betty Ford . Naive and neurotic despite his lightning intellect , Miles is the perfect foil for Murphy 's skewering wit . Shaud left at the end of the eighth season , and his character was replaced during Season 9 by veteran TV producer Kay Carter - Shepley ( Lily Tomlin ) . Kay did not have a background in journalism but instead had made a career as a producer of game shows . The other new - kid - on - the - block is Corky Sherwood ( Faith Ford ) , who replaced Murphy during her stint in rehab . A former Miss America from the ( fictional ) town of Neebo , Louisiana , Corky is the bane of the other journalists with her perky , relentlessly sunny personality -- and dumbfounding lack of sophistication . Due to overwhelming audience reaction , management decides to retain Corky 's services after Murphy 's return , usually assigning her to lifestyle pieces or lightweight celebrity profiles . Despite her omnipresent perkiness , Corky does mature and acquires a fair amount of worldliness over the years , not the least of which comes courtesy of her marriage to high school classmate and writer Will Forest ( during which she humorously and with apparent naiveté amends her on - air surname to become the Robin Hood-esque Corky Sherwood - Forest ) , subsequent divorce , and later elopement with Silverberg , immediately after which the couple has second thoughts -- -- even before consummating the relationship -- -- and decides they should `` first '' date ( despite already being married to one another ) , eventually separating on good terms . The FYI team also frequently socializes at Phil 's , a bar - and - grill across the street from their office / studio in Washington , D.C. Phil , the bar owner , was played by Pat Corley . Phil 's was portrayed as a Washington institution , whose owner knew everything about everybody who had ever been anybody in the capital -- ranging from what brand of lingerie J. Edgar Hoover preferred to the identity of Deep Throat ( unknown to the public at the time of the series ' production ) . In a running gag during early seasons , whenever someone entered Phil 's ( casting bright sunlight from the open door into the dark , murky bar ) , the patrons would all shout in unison `` close the door ! '' . Brown was unmarried , but had a home life as well : she hired a laid - back , New Age philosophy - dispensing house painter named Eldin Bernecky ( Robert Pastorelli ) to repaint her house . He had so many grand ideas that he was in her employ for six seasons . Because he was a highly talented artist , his renovations were often delayed when he was struck by the urge to paint socially - relevant murals throughout the house . Revival ( edit ) Some twenty years later , Brown has been retired from broadcast journalism for a few years but constantly receives offers to return to the air . Following Donald Trump 's election as president of the United States , Brown decides to accept an offer from fictional cable news network CNC to host a new morning news show titled Murphy in the Morning . She brings along her former FYI colleagues including Fontana and Sherwood to co-host the program and Silverberg to produce it . The crew is joined by newcomer Pat Patel ( Nik Dodani ) , who serves as the show 's social media manager . As the program gets closer to air , Brown is startled to learn that her son Avery ( Jake McDorman ) has been given his own morning news program on rival cable news network Wolf News , with both of their shows scheduled to air against one another . Meanwhile , Murphy and the gang continue to spend their off - time at the bar and grill `` Phil 's Bar '' , now run by Phil 's sister Phyllis ( Tyne Daly ) following Phil 's death .

In the pilot episode , she complained the only vice she had left herself was chewing yellow number - two pencils . It also set up the series - long running gag of Murphy 's battles with the off - beat and sometimes downright bizarre characters that were sent by Personnel to act as her secretary , none of whom ever last for more than an episode , save two ; one played by Paul Reubens . Action was divided between the FYI suite of offices and Murphy 's Georgetown townhouse . Reality often blended with fiction with the many cameos of then - current media and political personalities . The most prominent was when Murphy Brown was asked to guest star as herself in the pilot of a sitcom entitled Kelly Green , about a female investigative journalist . Life imitated art when , after a less - than stellar performance , Murphy was berated by television journalist Connie Chung ( herself in a Murphy Brown cameo appearance ) for crossing the line and compromising her credibility . Subsequent seasons saw the emergence of story arcs involving network politics with Gene Kinsella , Frank and Murphy 's rivalry and Eldin 's ongoing infatuation with Corky . A standout event was Miss Sherwood 's marriage to Louisiana lawyer Will Forrest . During the brief engagement , a horrified Corky comes to the realization that she will now be `` Corky Sherwood - Forrest '' . In the wedding episode , maid - of - honor Murphy , dressed as an antebellum belle in a hoop - skirted nightmare of a bridemaid 's dress , rages her way through the entire affair while thwarting the press 's attempts to photograph the nuptials ( mirroring the Sean Penn / Madonna wedding a few years earlier ) . Later seasons ( edit ) The fifth season continued after the departure of series creator and showrunner Diane English . Murphy 's struggles with parenthood were highlighted , as were the revolving - door of nanny characters mirroring her office tribulations . Corky 's marriage unraveled and ended in divorce as she and Will grew apart . ( Right before the wedding , Forrest had decided to abandon the practice of law and follow his true calling -- creative writing . ) This tragedy saw Corky become less the Pollyanna as she began to model herself after role - model Murphy . The show went on , and FYI featured several changes in on - and off - camera staff : Peter Hunt , McGovern and Miller Redfield temporarily joined the regulars at the anchor desk . The network moved FYI to a new studio with a trendy exterior `` Window on America '' . A significant story - arc saw the network squelch an FYI exposé on the tobacco industry , leading to the resignation of first Dial , then the remainder of the cast . They all went to work reorganizing the poorly - performing news division of a fledgling network . In the end , Miles faced down the network ; the `` suits '' relented , the staffers returned and the story aired . For his courage in standing up to the network brass , Miles was promoted to the news division 's headquarters in New York -- to the detriment of his new marriage to Corky . As well , after years of working as her housepainter , and later nanny , Eldin ( who was seen increasingly infrequently after season 5 ) left Murphy 's employ during season 7 to study painting in Spain . ( Actor Robert Pastrorelli left Murphy Brown for his own starring vehicle , the sitcom Double Rush , which lasted one season in 1995 . ) The cast of Murphy Brown for its final two seasons . Lily Tomlin is pictured fourth . By the start of the 1996 -- 97 season , viewership was beginning to decline . Shaud left the series and comedian Lily Tomlin was brought in to replace him in the role of executive producer Kay Carter - Shepley to help bolster the sitcom 's ratings . Kay proved that she had just as little journalistic experience as Miles Silverberg when he started with the show ; the only experience Kay had in television -- in spite of her venerable connections -- was producing daytime game shows . Where Murphy had terrorized the younger Miles , the Machiavellian Kay often emerged victorious in her dealings with Murphy . Tomlin remained with the series for its last two years but ratings continued to drop , especially after a move off of Monday nights in favor of a slot on Wednesday nights . CBS did renew Murphy Brown for a tenth season , which was to be its last . In the fall of 1997 , the final season premiered and the entire season served as a story arc in which Murphy battled breast cancer . The storyline was not without controversy ; an episode in which she used medical marijuana to relieve side effects of chemotherapy was attacked by conservative groups , and a women 's health group protested an episode in which Murphy , while shopping for prosthetic breasts , uttered the line `` Should I go with Demi Moore or Elsie the Cow ? '' However , the show 's handling of the subject was credited with a 30 percent increase in the number of women getting mammograms that year , and Bergen was presented an award from the American Cancer Society in honor of her role in educating women on the importance of breast cancer prevention and screening . In the original run 's final episode , Murphy met and interviewed God ( played by Alan King ) and Edward R. Murrow in a dream while undergoing surgery . Computer editing was used to insert footage of the real Murrow , who died in 1965 , into the show . Diane English , who created the show , made a cameo appearance as a nurse who delivered the results to Murphy after her surgery . At the end of the episode , Murphy walks through her house seemingly alone , only to have Eldin appear at the end , offering to `` touch up '' her house . Revival ( edit ) Main article : Murphy Brown ( season 11 ) Development ( edit ) On January 24 , 2018 , in the wake of rival broadcast networks reviving their own popular classic series ( Will & Grace on NBC , Roseanne on ABC , and The X-Files for Fox ) , CBS announced it had given a series order to a thirteen episode revival of Murphy Brown for the 2018 -- 2019 season . The series will be set in `` a world of cable news , social media , fake news and a very different political and cultural climate , '' according to CBS . Candice Bergen and series creator Diane English are set to return as executive producers . On February 27 , 2018 , it was announced that Pam Fryman would direct the revival 's pilot episode . On May 16 , 2018 , it was announced during the CBS upfronts presentation that the revival will now have Murphy anchoring a cable morning show , Murphy In the Morning , with her old team , lifestyle reporter Corky Sherwood , investigative journalist Frank Fontana , and producer Miles Silverberg , while Murphy 's son Avery works as a conservative anchor host for a rival cable morning show that airs opposite his mother 's program . On July 9 , 2018 , it was announced that the series would premiere on September 27 , 2018 . On September 21 , 2018 , it was reported that CBS had extended the running time of the premiere episode of the revival by five minutes . Casting ( edit ) Alongside the initial announcement of the revival , it was confirmed that Candice Bergen would reprise her role as Murphy Brown . On February 26 , 2018 , it was announced that Faith Ford , Joe Regalbuto , and Grant Shaud were joining the main cast and reprising their roles from the series ' original run . It was also reported Charles Kimbrough would not be returning to the series full - time , but might make a guest appearance in the revival . On March 16 , 2018 , it was announced that Jake McDorman and Nik Dodani had also joined the main cast . McDorman is set to assume the role of Murphy Brown 's now adult son Avery . On April 19 , 2018 , it was announced that Tyne Daly had joined the main cast in the role of Phyllis , the sister of the deceased bar owner Phil from the series ' original run . On August 5 , 2018 , it was confirmed during the Television Critics Association 's annual summer press tour that Kimbrough would reprise his role from the series ' original run in a three episode story arc . On September 13 , 2018 , it was reported that Adan Rocha had been cast in a series regular role . In October 2018 , it was announced that Merle Dandridge had joined the cast in a recurring capacity and that Bette Midler , Brooke Shields , John Larroquette , Katie Couric , and Peter Gallagher would appear in guest starring roles . Before the premiere of the season , it was reported that the first episode would feature a guest appearance from a prominent individual . The identity of the guest was being kept secret until the episode aired with the network going so far as to not include the scene in which they appeared in screeners for the press . Upon the episode 's release , it was revealed that the guest star was in fact former secretary of state and Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton . Critical response ( edit ) The season has been met with a mixed to negative response from critics upon its premiere . On the review aggregation website Rotten Tomatoes , the season holds an approval rating of 40 % with an average rating of 5.9 out of 10 , based on 35 reviews . The website 's critical consensus reads , `` This just in : while the nostalgia and wit are welcome , Murphy Brown 's dated messaging tactics feel heavy - handed and smug , leaving this formerly formidably timely series feeling like a reboot reaching for the headlines . '' Metacritic , which uses a weighted average , assigned the season a score of 53 out of 100 based on 27 critics , indicating `` mixed or average reviews . '' Cultural impact ( edit ) Murphy as a single mother ( edit ) In the show 's 1991 -- 92 season , Murphy became pregnant . When her baby 's father ( ex-husband and current underground radical Jake Lowenstein ) expressed his unwillingness to give up his own lifestyle to be a parent , Murphy chose to have the child and raise it alone . Another major fiction - reality blending came at Murphy 's baby shower : the invited guests were journalists Katie Couric , Joan Lunden , Paula Zahn , Mary Alice Williams and Faith Daniels , who treated the fictional Murphy and Corky as friends and peers . Dan Quayle criticized single parenting during his 1992 speech . At the point where she was about to give birth , she had stated that `` several people do not want me to have the baby . Pat Robertson ; Phyllis Schlafly ; half of Utah ! '' Right after giving birth to her son Avery , Murphy sang the song `` ( You Make Me Feel Like ) A Natural Woman '' . This storyline made the show a subject of political controversy during the 1992 American presidential campaign . On May 19 , 1992 , Vice President Dan Quayle spoke at the Commonwealth Club in San Francisco . During his speech , he criticized the Murphy Brown character for `` mocking the importance of fathers by bearing a child alone '' . Quayle 's remarks caused a public discussion on family values , culminating in the 1992 -- 93 season premiere , `` You Say Potatoe , I Say Potato '' , where the television characters reacted to Quayle 's comments and produced a special episode of FYI showcasing and celebrating the diversity of the modern American family . Because Quayle 's actual speech made little reference to Murphy Brown 's fictional nature ( other than the use of the word character ) , the show was able to use actual footage from his speech to make it appear that , within the fictional world of the show , Quayle was referring to Murphy Brown personally , rather than to the fictional character . At the end , Brown helps organize a special edition of FYI focusing on different kinds of families , then arranges a retaliatory prank in which a truckload of potatoes is dumped in front of Quayle 's residence while a disc jockey playfully commenting on the incident notes the Vice President should be glad people were not making fun of him for misspelling `` fertilizer . '' This referenced how , on June 15 , 1992 , at a spelling bee in Trenton , New Jersey , Quayle had erroneously corrected an elementary - school student 's spelling of `` potato '' to `` potatoe '' . The cue card used by the teacher read `` potatoe '' . When Candice Bergen won another Emmy that year , she thanked Dan Quayle . The feud was cited by E ! as # 81 on its list of `` 101 Reasons the ' 90s Ruled '' . In 2002 , Bergen said in an interview that she personally agreed with much of Quayle 's speech , calling it `` a perfectly intelligent speech about fathers not being dispensable '' and adding that `` nobody agreed with that more than I did . '' Quayle eventually displayed a sense of humor about the incident -- after the controversy died down , he appeared for an interview on an independent Los Angeles TV station and for his final question was asked what his favorite TV show was . He responded with `` Murphy Brown -- Not ! '' The station later used the clip of Quayle 's response to promote its showing of Murphy Brown re-runs in syndication . Quayle 's complaint notwithstanding , prime - time TV in 1992 was `` boosting family values more aggressively than it has in decades '' , wrote Time magazine critic Richard Zoglin , citing everything from Home Improvement to Roseanne . Murphy Brown was worth highlighting in a vice-presidential speech `` not because it represented the state of television and the culture in general '' but because Murphy 's choice of single motherhood departed from it . The show has been seen as blazing a trail for single - mother characters in Ally McBeal , Sex and the City , Desperate Housewives , and The Good Wife -- and `` benefited from Bergen 's character going through a political maelstrom so none of them had to . '' In 2010 , Murphy Brown was ranked # 25 on the TV Guide Network special , 25 Greatest TV Characters of All Time . Syndication ( edit ) Murphy Brown was unsuccessful when it was introduced in off - network syndication in the 1990s , in part because of high music rights fees and that the topical references in the show quickly had become dated . It was reintroduced to cable and digital multicast networks in the 2010s , beginning with a run on Encore Classic in 2013 , with the series airing on Antenna TV as of 2018 . DVD releases ( edit ) Warner Home Video released the first season of Murphy Brown on DVD in Region 1 on February 8 , 2005 . Due to low sales and high music licensing costs , no future releases are planned .

"In the show's 1991–92 season, Murphy became pregnant. When her baby's father (ex-husband and current underground radical Jake Lowenstein) expressed his unwillingness to give up his own lifestyle to be a parent, Murphy chose to have the child and raise it alone. Another major fiction-reality blending came at Murphy's baby shower: the invited guests were journalists Katie Couric, Joan Lunden, Paula Zahn, Mary Alice Williams and Faith Daniels, who treated the fictional Murphy and Corky as friends and peers.\n"

However , most of the villagers think he is insane for crafting devices believed ridiculous and impossible to construct in reality . During the beginning of the movie , he is working on a machine that automatically chops up firewood . Once it is successfully working , he leaves for the County Fair to display his invention . However , he is unable to make it to the fair due to getting lost in the woods . After going down a path that results in the loss of his horse and cart , and being attacked and nearly killed by a pack of rabid wolves , he winds up at the gate of a dark castle . When he enters the castle to stay for the night , he ends up being locked up by the Beast , the castle 's master . Belle learns of what happened and goes to the castle , attempting to release her father . She then tries to convince the Beast to release him from the castle . She succeeds in convincing the Beast to release him , under the condition that she is to take her father 's place , to Maurice 's protests . Maurice is forcibly taken back to the village . Upon returning to the village , Maurice tries to seek the villagers ' help in trying to rescue Belle , but they do n't believe him , and they consequently throw him out of the tavern . Determined to not give up on Belle , he decides to return to the castle alone . However , it does n't take long before he succumbs to an unknown illness due to the cold weather . Luckily , Belle discovers that her father is in trouble via the Beast 's Magic Mirror and is released by the Beast so she can save him . Shortly after arriving back home , Le Fou has alarmed the villagers of their return . Shortly thereafter , Monsieur D'Arque , the keeper of the Maison de Lunes Insane Asylum , and the other villagers come to take Maurice to the insane asylum in an intricate plan to blackmail Belle into marrying Gaston . Belle reveals that Maurice 's rants are true and that the Beast does exist . Both she and Maurice are locked up by Gaston in the cellar , to stop them from interfering with Gaston 's goal to kill the Beast . Chip has managed to stow away in Belle 's satchel and uses the automated firewood cutter to destroy the door to the cellar . Maurice and Belle leave for the castle to stop Gaston from killing the Beast . He is last seen in the ballroom standing by Mrs. Potts as he happily watches Belle and the Beast ( who is now transformed back into a handsome prince ) dance while he laughs at Chip 's question to his mother whether he still has to ' stay in the cupboard ' . In the 2017 live - action remake , Maurice is played by Kevin Kline . He remains as an inventor , but makes music boxes to help Belle see the world from the comfort of home in the village of Villeneuve . He fled Paris and settled in the provinces with Belle when she was still a baby to protect the both of them from a plague that took the life of Belle 's mother and Maurice 's wife . True to the original story , Maurice is imprisoned by the Beast for taking a rose from his garden instead of being caught trespassing in the castle . Maurice returns to Villeneuve to find help , but only Gaston and LeFou are willing to do so . However , Gaston only wanted to help in order to get Maurice 's blessing for his marriage to Belle . Knowing that Belle has no interest in marrying Gaston , Maurice refuses her hand , prompting Gaston to leave him to die at the hands of the wolves . The Enchantress , disguised as a villager named Agathe , rescues him and takes him back to Villeneuve . Upon his return , Maurice attempts to have Gaston arrested for attempted murder , but Gaston in turn declares him insane and has him committed to an insane asylum . Belle arrives back in time to vindicate Maurice , but both are locked in the asylum wagon while the whole village goes to kill the Beast . After Maurice and Belle make amends regarding Belle now understanding why Maurice was so overly protective of her , thanks to the Beast , Maurice uses his inventor skills to pick the lock on the wagon , allowing Belle to take Phillipe back to the Beast 's castle while Maurice remains behind with the dumbfounded Monsieur D'Arque . At the end of the movie , Maurice is seen painting the ballroom dance as everyone celebrates . He only makes a cameo in Beauty and the Beast : The Enchanted Christmas as one of the people listening to the story Mrs. Potts is telling , and makes his debut appearance in the Kingdom Hearts series in Kingdom Hearts χ . Lumière Lumière First appearance Beauty and the Beast ( 1991 ) Portrayed by Henri Lubatti ( Once Upon a Time ) Ewan McGregor ( live - action film ) Voiced by Jerry Orbach ( films , House of Mouse ) Jeff Bennett ( Kingdom Hearts II , theme parks ) Ewan McGregor ( live - action film ) Masashi Ebara ( Japanese ) Lumière is the Beast 's kindhearted but rebellious maître d ' , Cogsworth 's counterpart and rival . Because of the curse placed by the Enchantress , he was transformed into a candelabra . He allows Maurice to come into the castle to stay . Later , he and Cogsworth lure Belle to Maurice in hopes that she will break the spell . He suggests that Beast try and move her to a better room . Lumière tries to help Beast become more civil for Belle , and sometimes rebels against the Beast if it suits the other characters ' needs ( like allowing Belle to have dinner despite Beast 's refusal to let them feed her ) .

The character of Wardrobe was introduced by visual development person Sue C. Nichols to the then entirely male cast of servants , and was originally a more integral character named `` Madame Armoire '' . Her role was later expanded upon and ultimately taken over by Mrs. Potts . Wardrobe is known as `` Madame de la Grande Bouche '' in the stage adaptation of the film . Her stage name supposedly means `` Mistress of the Big Mouth '' in a semi-literal English translation . The Marvel Comics serial for the movie , taking place during the movie , referred to her status as an opera singer that performed even to the king . She later appears in Kingdom Hearts II in her homeworld , Beast 's Castle . In the game , she blocks Sora 's way to the undercroft to free the servants from the dungeon , forcing Sora to push her out of the way while she is sleeping .

During the attempted wedding , he acts as a conductor to signal the playing of a fast tempo version on `` Here Comes the Bride '' . Later , when Gaston comes up with a plan to arrange for Maurice to be sent to the insane asylum to force Belle to marry him , they head to Belle 's house , but both she and Maurice are gone .

After learning that the Beast exists , he accompanies Gaston and the rest of the lynch mob to the castle to kill the Beast singing `` The Mob Song '' with everybody . He picks up Lumière upon entering the castle , and Lumiere 's signal begins the battle . During the battle , Le Fou attempts to kill Lumiere by waving a torch perilously close to Lumiere 's head , but Cogsworth saves him by jabbing scissors hard in Le Fou 's rear end . He is last seen escaping with the rest of the villagers . It is left unknown if he knew Gaston died against the Beast , though it 's possible that Gaston 's absence from then on gave him that message . In the beginning of The Enchanted Christmas , despite the rest of the villagers being invited to the castle for a Christmas party , Le Fou is not present . In the movie , Le Fou was voiced by Venezuelan voice actor Jesse Corti , who also voiced Le Fou in the Spanish - language dub of the film , making Le Fou one of the few characters to share the same voice actor in two different dubs of the movie . In the 2017 live - action adaptation , Le Fou is portrayed by Josh Gad . In the version with Gad , the character is gay , becoming the first homosexual in a Disney film . In one deleted scene , Le Fou helped Gaston to break up the headmaster leading the villagers into destroying Belle 's laundry invention by shooting the gun in the air twice with the second time having a cow accidentally killed . Unlike in the original 1991 animated film during the fight at the Beast 's castle , he saves Mrs. Potts when she falls from the chandelier and switches sides to helping the Beast 's servants after Gaston abandons him while he takes a beating from the servants . One deleted scene had him given a bad encounter with Monsieur Toilette which causes him to run out of the room he was in . In another deleted scene following the spell being broken , Le Fou runs into Monsieur Toilette 's true form which identified from the bathroom smell . At the end of this version , he briefly dances with the ( presumably gay ) Stanley , who was also a friend and minion of Gaston 's .

He is only seen in these two scenes , and his fate after the Beast 's existence is revealed is left ambiguous . He also appears in the 2017 version . He only appears after Gaston demands that Maurice be put into the asylum and also tries to lock up both Maurice and Belle on Gaston 's orders while being told to make sure they do n't get out . Monsieur D'Arque is dumbfounded when he discovers that the two had managed to escape . As Belle rides off , Maurice asks Monsieur D'Arque if he has children .

They are also upset when Gaston decides to marry Belle , as they are seen crying when he is announcing that he will propose to Belle .

The triplets also appear in the Marvel Comics serial for Beauty and the Beast , which was set during Belle 's stay at the castle . They are generally within the B - stories , where they try to sabotage Gaston 's plans to marry Belle , with varying success . In the Musical , their roles are the same , although they are given more dialogue and their role is expanded slightly . They have made regular appearances on `` Disney 's House of Mouse . '' They are now all voiced by Kath Soucie ( who had originally just voiced Paulette ) , due to Mary Kay Bergman 's suicide by the time the show was made . They also appear in the 2017 live - action remake . Although their overall roles were the same , they are in fact among the mob late in the film unlike in the 1991 original . In addition , the triplets were given a significantly different appearance , where they wore similarly - colored pink dresses , and possessed heavy makeup , a beauty spot , and brunette hair , as well as explicitly disliking Belle ( Bill Condon and Rafaëlle Cohen both indicated the triplets ' dislike of Belle dealt with their own mom neglecting them and doting on the latter ) .

The three of them are among the villagers that accompany Gaston to the Beast 's castle to kill the Beast where they end up fighting the servants . One deleted scene had the Triplets chasing Frou - Frou into the kitchen where Cuisiner throws food on them .

The Baker later provides the birthday cake for Gaston 's wedding proposal for Belle which does n't go well . After Belle returned from the Beast 's castle , the Baker is among the villagers gathered by Gaston at the time when Gaston as Monsieur D'Arque comes to collect Maurice . After Belle uses the Beast 's mirror to show that the Beast exists , the Baker is among the villagers that accompany Gaston and Le Fou to the Beast 's Castle to kill the Beast only for the villagers to be fended off by the transformed servants .

The Baker was seen when the Headmaster had roused the villagers into destroying Belle 's laundry invention after the Headmaster caught Belle teaching a girl how to read .

She pays a visit to the castle one cold winter night and poses as an ugly , old peddler woman , offering a single rose for shelter . After being turned away by the prince twice , she reveals her true self ( young and beautiful , yet cruel and hypocritical ) and punishes him by transforming him into the Beast , his servants into objects , and his castle into a horrific version of itself laden with ugly gargoyles and grotesque statues . The Enchantress left the Beast with only two items , a magic mirror as the only window to the outside world , and the rose she had tried to give him . It turns out the rose is enchanted , working as an hourglass : it will bloom until his 21st birthday , when its petals will begin to fall . When the last petal falls , the prince will remain a Beast forever . The spell can only be broken if he can learn to love and receives love in return . Her spell is broken at the last second by Belle 's confession of love for the Beast .

"The Wardrobe is a former opera singer, turned into a wardrobe. The character of Wardrobe was introduced by visual development person Sue C. Nichols to the then entirely male cast of servants, and was originally a more integral character named \"Madame Armoire\". Her role was later expanded upon and ultimately taken over by Mrs. Potts.[3] Wardrobe is known as \"Madame de la Grande Bouche\" in the stage adaptation of the film. Her stage name supposedly means \"Mistress of the Big Mouth\" in a semi-literal English translation. The Marvel Comics serial for the movie, taking place during the movie, referred to her status as an opera singer that performed even to the king."

-4840436357215866629 | Occupation of the Ruhr | Occupation of the Ruhr - wikipedia Occupation of the Ruhr Jump to : navigation , search French soldiers in the Ruhr in 1923 The Occupation of the Ruhr ( German : Ruhrbesetzung ) was a period of military occupation of the German Ruhr valley by France and Belgium between 1923 and 1925 in response to the Weimar Republic 's failure to continue its reparation payments in the aftermath of World War I . Contents ( hide ) 1 Background 2 Passive resistance 2.1 Sympathy for Germany 2.2 Poincaré 3 British perspective 4 Aftermath 4.1 Dawes Plan 4.2 German politics 5 See also 6 References 7 Sources 7.1 French and German Background ( edit ) Map of the occupation of the Rhineland ( 1918 -- 1919 ) The Ruhr region had been occupied by Allied troops in the immediate aftermath of the First World War , during the Allied occupation of the Rhineland ( 1918 -- 1919 ) . Under the terms of the Treaty of Versailles ( 1919 ) , which formally ended the war , Germany accepted responsibility for the damages caused in the war and was obliged to pay war reparations to the various Allies , principally France . The total sum of reparations demanded from Germany -- around 226 billion gold marks ( US $ 859 billion in 2017 ) -- was decided by an Inter-Allied Reparations Commission . In 1921 , the amount was reduced to 132 billion ( at that time , $31.4 billion ( US $442 billion in 2017 ) , or £ 6.6 billion ( UK £ 284 billion in 2017 ) ) . Even with the reduction , the debt was huge . As some of the payments were in industrial raw materials , German factories were unable to function , and the German economy suffered , further damaging the country 's ability to pay . By late 1922 , the German defaults on payments had grown so regular that a crisis engulfed the Reparations Commission ; the French and Belgian delegates urged occupying the Ruhr as a way of forcing Germany to pay more , while the British delegate urged a lowering of the payments . As a consequence of a German default on timber deliveries in December 1922 , the Reparations Commission declared Germany in default , which led to the Franco - Belgian occupation of the Ruhr in January 1923 . Particularly galling to the French was that the timber quota the Germans defaulted on was based on an assessment of their capacity the Germans made themselves and subsequently lowered . The Allies believed that the government of Chancellor Wilhelm Cuno had defaulted on the timber deliveries deliberately as a way of testing the will of the Allies to enforce the treaty . The entire conflict was further exacerbated by a German default on coal deliveries in early January 1923 , which was the thirty - fourth coal default in the previous thirty - six months . The French Premier Raymond Poincaré was deeply reluctant to order the Ruhr occupation and took this step only after the British had rejected his proposals for non-military sanctions against Germany . Frustrated at Germany not paying reparations , Poincaré hoped for joint Anglo - French economic sanctions against Germany in 1922 and opposed military action . However , by December 1922 he was faced with Anglo - American - German opposition and saw coal for French steel production and payments in money as laid out in the Treaty of Versailles draining away . Poincaré was exasperated with British opposition , and wrote to the French ambassador in London : Judging others by themselves , the English , who are blinded by their loyalty , have always thought that the Germans did not abide by their pledges inscribed in the Versailles Treaty because they had not frankly agreed to them ... We , on the contrary , believe that if Germany , far from making the slightest effort to carry out the treaty of peace , has always tried to escape her obligations , it is because until now she has not been convinced of her defeat ... We are also certain that Germany , as a nation , resigns herself to keep her pledged word only under the impact of necessity . French Chasseurs Alpins in Buer Poincaré decided to occupy the Ruhr on 11 January 1923 to extract the reparations himself . The real issue during the Ruhrkampf ( Ruhr struggle ) , as the Germans labelled the battle against the French occupation , was not the German defaults on coal and timber deliveries but the sanctity of the Versailles Treaty . Poincaré often argued to the British that letting the Germans defy Versailles in regards to the reparations would create a precedent that would lead to the Germans dismantling the rest of the Versailles treaty . Finally , Poincaré argued that once the chains that had bound Germany in Versailles were destroyed , it was inevitable that Germany would plunge the world into another world war . Initiated by French Prime Minister Raymond Poincaré , the invasion took place on 11 January 1923 . General Alphonse Caron 's 32nd infantry corps under the supervision of General Jean - Marie Degoutte carried out the operation . Some theories state that the French aimed to occupy the centre of German coal , iron , and steel production in the Ruhr area valley simply to get the money . Some others state that France did it to ensure that the reparations were paid in goods , because the Mark was practically worthless because of hyperinflation that already existed at the end of 1922 . France had the iron ore and Germany had the coal . Each state wanted free access to the resource it was short of , as together these resources had far more value than separately . ( Eventually this problem was resolved in the post-World War II European Coal and Steel community . ) Following France 's decision to invade the Ruhr , the Inter-Allied Mission for Control of Factories and Mines ( MICUM ) was set up as a means of ensuring coal repayments from Germany . Passive resistance ( edit ) Protests by gymnasts from the Ruhr at the 1923 Munich Gymnastics Festival ( The sign on the left reads `` The Ruhr remains German '' ; the sign on the right reads `` We never want to be vassals '' . ) The occupation was greeted by a campaign of passive resistance . Approximately 130 German civilians were killed by the French occupation army during the events , including during civil disobedience protests , e.g. against dismissal of German officials . Some theories assert that to pay for passive resistance in the Ruhr , the German government began the hyperinflation that destroyed the German economy in 1923 . Others state that the road to hyperinflation was well established before with the reparation payments that started on November 1921 , see 1920s German inflation . In the face of economic collapse , with high unemployment and hyperinflation , the strikes were eventually called off in September 1923 by the new Gustav Stresemann coalition government , which was followed by a state of emergency . Despite this , civil unrest grew into riots and coup attempts targeted at the government of the Weimar Republic , including the Beer Hall Putsch . The Rhenish Republic was proclaimed at Aachen ( Aix - la - Chapelle ) in October 1923 . Though the French did succeed in making their occupation of the Ruhr pay , the Germans through their passive resistance in the Ruhr and the hyperinflation that wrecked their economy , won the world 's sympathy , and under heavy Anglo - American financial pressure ( the simultaneous decline in the value of the franc made the French very open to pressure from Wall Street and the City ) , the French were forced to agree to the Dawes Plan of April 1924 , which substantially lowered German reparations payments . Under the Dawes Plan , Germany paid only 1 billion marks in 1924 , and then increasing amounts for the next three years , until the total rose to 2.25 billion marks by 1927 . Sympathy for Germany ( edit ) Front page of Chicago Daily Tribune , 6 March 1923 , announcing French troops killing four resisting Germans Internationally the French invasion of Germany did much to boost sympathy for the German Republic although no action was taken in the League of Nations since it was technically legal under the Treaty of Versailles . The French , with their own economic problems , eventually accepted the Dawes Plan and withdrew from the occupied areas in July and August 1925 . The last French troops evacuated Düsseldorf and Duisburg along with the city 's important harbour in Duisburg - Ruhrort , ending French occupation of the Ruhr region on 25 August 1925 . According to Sally Marks , the occupation of the Ruhr `` was profitable and caused neither the German hyperinflation , which began in 1922 and ballooned because of German responses to the Ruhr occupation , nor the franc 's 1924 collapse , which arose from French financial practices and the evaporation of reparations '' . Marks suggests the profits , after Ruhr - Rhineland occupation costs , were nearly 900 million gold marks . Poincaré ( edit ) Despite his disagreements with Britain , Poincaré desired to preserve the Anglo - French entente and thus moderated his aims to a degree . His major goal was the winning of the extraction of reparations payments from Germany . His inflexible methods and authoritarian personality led to the failure of his diplomacy . British perspective ( edit ) When on 12 July 1922 , Germany demanded a moratorium on reparation payments , tension developed between the French government of Raymond Poincaré and the Coalition government of David Lloyd George . The British Labour Party demanded peace and denounced Lloyd George as a troublemaker . It saw Germany as the martyr of the postwar period and France as vengeful and the principal threat to peace in Europe . The tension between France and Britain peaked during a conference in Paris in early 1923 , by which time the coalition led by Lloyd George had been replaced by the Conservatives . The Labour Party opposed the occupation of the Ruhr throughout 1923 , which it rejected as French imperialism . The British Labour Party believed it had won when Poincaré accepted the Dawes Plan in 1924 . Aftermath ( edit ) French troops leaving Dortmund Dawes Plan ( edit ) To deal with the implementation of the Dawes Plan , a conference took place in London in July -- August 1924 . The British Labour Prime Minister Ramsay MacDonald , who viewed reparations as impossible to pay , successfully pressured the French Premier Édouard Herriot into a whole series of concessions to Germany . The British diplomat Sir Eric Phipps commented that `` The London Conference was for the French ' man in the street ' one long Calvary as he saw M. Herriot abandoning one by one the cherished possessions of French preponderance on the Reparations Commission , the right of sanctions in the event of German default , the economic occupation of the Ruhr , the French - Belgian railroad Régie , and finally , the military occupation of the Ruhr within a year '' . The Dawes Plan was significant in European history as it marked the first time that Germany had succeeded in defying Versailles , and revised an aspect of the treaty in its favour . The Saar region remained under French control until 1935 . German politics ( edit ) In German politics , the French occupation of the Rhineland accelerated the formation of right - wing parties . Disoriented by the defeat in the war , conservatives in 1922 founded a consortium of nationalist associations , the `` Vereinigten Vaterländischen Verbände Deutschlands '' ( VVVD , United Patriotic Associations of Germany ) . The goal was to forge a united front of the right . In the climate of national resistance against the French Ruhr invasion , the VVVD reached its peak strength . It advocated policies of uncompromising monarchism , corporatism and opposition to the Versailles settlement . However , it lacked internal unity and money and so it never managed to unite the right before it had faded away by the late 1920s , as the Nazis emerged .

Plot ( edit ) The first act introduces the main character , Rene Gallimard , who is a civil servant attached to the French embassy in China . He falls in love with a beautiful Chinese opera diva , Song Liling , who is actually a man masquerading as a woman . In traditional Beijing opera , females were banned from the stage ; all female roles ( dan ) were played by males . The first act ends with Gallimard returning to France in shame and living alone after his wife , Helga , finds out about his affair with Song and leaves him . Act two begins with Song coming to France and resuming the affair with Gallimard . They stay together for 20 years until the truth is revealed , and Gallimard is convicted of treason and imprisoned . Unable to face the fact that his `` perfect woman '' is actually a man , that has been posing as a woman for 20 years to be able to spy , he retreats deep within himself and his memories . The action of the play is depicted as his disordered , distorted recollection of the events surrounding their affair . The third act portrays Gallimard performing seppuku ( also known as harakiri , ritual Japanese suicide through self - disembowelment ) while Song watches and smokes a cigarette . Film adaptation ( edit ) Main article : M. Butterfly ( film ) Hwang adapted the play for a 1993 film directed by David Cronenberg with Jeremy Irons and John Lone in the leading roles .

"The play opened on Broadway at the Eugene O'Neill Theatre on March 20, 1988, closing after 777 performances on January 27, 1990.[2] It was produced by Stuart Ostrow and directed by John Dexter and starred John Lithgow as Gallimard and BD Wong as Song Liling. David Dukes, Anthony Hopkins, Tony Randall, and John Rubinstein played Gallimard at various times during the original run.[3] A highly unusual staging featuring Puccini's music and the Kazakh countertenor Erik Kurmangaliev in the title role was undertaken by Roman Viktyuk in Russia in 1990.[4]"

Released on the Gordy ( Motown ) label , and produced by Norman Whitfield , it features on the group 's 1971 album , Sky 's the Limit . When released as a single , `` Just My Imagination '' became the third Temptations song to reach number one on the US Billboard Hot 100 . The single held the number one position on the Billboard Pop Singles Chart for two weeks in 1971 , from March 27 to April 10 . `` Just My Imagination '' also held the number - one spot on the Billboard R&B Singles chart for three weeks , from February 27 to March 20 of that year . Today , `` Just My Imagination '' is considered one of the Temptations ' signature songs , and is notable for recalling the sound of the group 's 1960s recordings . It is also the final Temptations single to feature founding members Eddie Kendricks and Paul Williams . During the process of recording and releasing the single , Kendricks left the group to begin a solo career , while the ailing Williams was forced to retire from the act for health reasons . In 2004 , Rolling Stone magazine listed `` Just My Imagination '' as number 389 on its list of the 500 Greatest Songs of All Time . Contents ( hide ) 1 Composition and lyrics 2 Origins 3 Recording 4 Release and reception 5 Chart performance 5.1 Weekly singles charts 5.2 Year - end charts 6 Notes 7 References 8 Further reading 9 External links Composition and lyrics ( edit ) A full orchestral arrangement with strings and French horns adorning a bluesy rhythm track and bass line provides the instrumentals . Music critic Stephen Thomas Erlewine of allmusic notes that the song is narrated by a man who imagines a relationship with the woman he loves but is canny enough to realize that his daydreams are fiction , yet is overwhelmed by them . The lyrics capture his resignation to his fantasies . The song as a whole captures their full emotional effect on him . The first two verses establish the theme and explore the narrator 's daydreams , in which he and the object of his affections are lovers preparing to be married , to `` raise a family '' and build `` a cozy little home / out in the country / with two children , maybe three . '' In the bridge , the narrator prays that he will never lose her love to another , or he will surely die . '' By introducing this doubt , the musical bridge simultaneously bridges the movement from dream to reality , completed when the final lines shift from imagery to bald statement : `` But in reality / she does n't even know me . '' For Erlewine , `` the Temptations ' performance has a dream - like quality , quietly drifting through the singer 's hopes and desires . '' We must add that just as the lyrics track the movement from dream to reality , the chorus goes on to anchor the drifting melody in a robust and highly memorable rhythm . Origins ( edit ) During the late 1960s and early 1970s , producer / composer Norman Whitfield and lyricist Barrett Strong crafted a string of `` psychedelic soul '' tracks for the Temptations . By 1970 , the Temptations had released psychedically - influenced hits such as `` Runaway Child , Running Wild '' , `` Psychedelic Shack '' , `` Ball of Confusion ( That 's What the World Is Today ) '' , and the Grammy Award - winning `` Cloud Nine '' . In a 1991 interview , Eddie Kendricks recalled that many of the Temptations ' fans were `` screaming bloody murder '' after the group delved into psychedelia , and demanded a return to their original soul sound . `` Just My Imagination '' was the result of one of the few times that Whitfield relented and produced a ballad as a single for the group . Whitfield and Strong wrote the song in 1969 , but with the Temptations ' psychedelic soul singles consistently keeping them in the US Top 20 , Whitfield and Strong decided to shelve the composition and wait for the right time to record it . In late 1970 , the Temptations ' single `` Ungena Za Ulimwengu ( Unite the World ) '' , a psychedelic soul song about world peace , failed to reach the Top 30 , and Whitfield decided to record and release `` Just My Imagination '' as the next single . He approached Barrett Strong , and asked him to pull out `` that song we were messing around with a year ago ... because I 'm going to record it today . '' Except their late 1960s duets with Diana Ross & the Supremes , the Temptations had not released a single that was not based in psychedelia since `` Please Return Your Love to Me '' from The Temptations Wish It Would Rain in 1968 . Recording ( edit ) Norman Whitfield began the recording of `` Just My Imagination '' by preparing the song 's instrumental track . Whitfield arranged and recorded the non-orchestral elements of the instrumental with Motown 's studio band , The Funk Brothers , who for this recording included Eddie `` Chank '' Willis on guitar , Jack Ashford on marimba , Jack Brokensha on timpani , Andrew Smith on drums , and Bob Babbitt on bass . Jerry Long , an arranger who had previous experience with scoring films in Paris , worked on the orchestral arrangement and conducted several members of the Detroit Symphony Orchestra in performing the horns and strings for the recording . The Temptations had heard the Funk Brothers ' tracks and loved them , but were `` totally knocked out , '' according to Otis Williams , when they heard `` the finished record with all the strings . '' The Temptations added their vocals at Motown 's Hitsville USA headquarters . While all five Temptations usually sang lead on singles during the psychedelic soul era , `` Just My Imagination '' is primarily a showcase for Eddie Kendricks , who sang lead on such Temptations hits as `` Get Ready , '' `` The Way You Do the Things You Do , '' and `` You 're My Everything '' ; in fact , this is the only Temptations hit in which Dennis Edwards did not have a lead vocal during his entire tenure with the group . The Temptations remained at Hitsville overnight recording `` Just My Imagination , '' and while the other four members went home at six o'clock in the morning , Kendricks remained in the studio , spending several additional hours recording takes for his lead vocal . The song was recorded in the midst of a bitter feud between Kendricks and the Temptations ' de facto leader , Otis Williams . Dissatisfied and frustrated with Williams ' leadership , Kendricks began to withdraw from the group , and picked several fights with either Williams or his best friend , bass singer Melvin Franklin . When Kendricks told his friend ex-Temptation David Ruffin about his problems in the group , Ruffin convinced Kendricks that he should begin a solo career . After a final altercation during a November 1970 Copacabana engagement , both Kendricks and Williams agreed that it would be best for Kendricks to leave the group . By the time `` Just My Imagination '' was recorded , Williams and Kendricks were no longer on friendly speaking terms . Nevertheless , Williams was impressed by Kendricks ' performance on the recording , and in his 1988 Temptations biography referred to `` Just My Imagination '' as `` Eddie 's finest moment . '' Paul Williams , the Temptations ' original lead singer and Kendricks ' lifelong best friend , who sings the first line in the bridge ( `` Every night , on my knees , I pray ... '' ) , had suffered for three years from health problems related to alcoholism and sickle - cell disease . By the time `` Just My Imagination '' was cut , Paul Williams ' contributions to the Temptations ' recordings had been reduced , and the group had Otis Williams ' old associate Richard Street lined up as Paul Williams ' replacement . As for Kendricks , he was eventually replaced by Damon Harris , who would be featured in the group 's 1973 hit `` Papa Was a Rollin ' Stone '' . Release and reception ( edit ) Motown released `` Just My Imagination '' as a single on their Gordy label on January 14 , 1971 , with the up - tempo psychedelic soul song `` You Make Your Own Heaven and Hell Right Here on Earth '' , from the 1970 Psychedelic Shack LP , as the B - side . The Temptations performed `` Just My Imagination '' and `` Get Ready '' for their final appearance on The Ed Sullivan Show , broadcast live on January 31 . On - screen , Kendricks stood several feet away from the other Temptations , and made little eye contact with them ; Otis Williams later remarked that one could see the group was no longer a complete unit : But there was such a bittersweet feeling . Eddie had really changed . Paul was on his last legs . Watch the clip of us doing the song on Ed Sullivan we 're not together . Eddie is off by himself . There was no more group . Sure enough , when we played the Copa that week , Eddie left between shows . He did n't come back . On February 7 , 1971 , `` Just My Imagination '' entered the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 chart at number 71 and later number one on both the Hot 100 and the U.S. Billboard R&B Singles charts . It also became the group 's first entry on the Adult Contemporary chart , reaching number 33 ; the group would not return to that chart until 1984 . The single was included along with `` Unite the World '' on the Temptations ' ninth regular studio album , Sky 's the Limit , which included the final Temptations recordings to feature Eddie Kendricks . He began working on his solo album All By Myself shortly before officially leaving the group . The intended follow - up to `` Just My Imagination '' was `` Smiling Faces Sometimes '' , on which Kendricks sang lead . When Kendricks left , they released , instead , `` I 'm The Exception to the Rule '' , a song in the same vein ( featuring Kendricks , Otis Williams and Edwards on lead ) which follows `` Just My Imagination '' on the album . Unable to promote the song because they did not have anyone to do his parts in concert , the song failed miserably so the company pushed the `` B - side '' -- the group 's re-recording of `` It 's Summer '' , initially the B - side of `` Ball of Confusion '' , at the last - minute , and Norman Whitfield had The Undisputed Truth record `` Smiling Faces Sometimes '' , for whom it was a major hit . The Temptations and Norman Whitfield returned to psychedelic soul for their next album , Solid Rock , whose second single , `` Superstar ( Remember How You Got Where You Are ) '' , was written by Whitfield and Barrett Strong as an alleged criticism of both Kendricks and David Ruffin .

Ekberg Brenda Russell singles chronology `` Gravity '' ( 1988 ) `` Get Here '' ( 1988 ) `` Kiss Me with the Wind '' ( 1990 ) `` Get Here '' is a pop ballad written by American singer and songwriter Brenda Russell . The title track of her fourth studio album Get Here ( 1988 ) , it became a moderate hit on the Billboard R&B chart on the heels of the album 's massive first hit , `` Piano in the Dark '' . American vocalist Oleta Adams recorded the song in 1990 , making it a major international hit that reached the top 5 in both the US and the UK . Adams ' version of `` Get Here '' , co-produced by Roland Orzabal from the band Tears for Fears ( for whom she had performed the female vocals on the hit single , `` Woman in Chains '' a year earlier ) , became her signature song . Contents 1 Composition and first release 2 Oleta Adams version 2.1 Charts 2.2 Release history 3 Other versions 4 References Composition and first release ( edit ) Brenda Russell had written the song while staying at a penthouse in Stockholm : the tune came to her as she viewed some hot air balloons floating over the city , a sight Russell recalls set her `` really tripping on how many ways you can get to a person '' ( the eventual song 's lyrics include the line : `` You can make it in a big balloon but you 'd better make it soon '' ) . Although Russell did not pursue the musical ideas that came to her as her current record label saw her as a dance artist and she thought would not be interested in a song such as the one which became `` Get Here '' , the song was still in the singer 's mind when she woke up the next day : `` I do n't read or write music ( therefore ) it 's extraordinary if a song is still in my head that I have n't jotted down or recorded . So if it 's still in my head overnight , I think that 's something extra special , it 's like somebody trying to tell me something . '' Russell recorded the song as the title cut of her 1988 album from which it was issued as a single - the album 's third - reaching # 37 on the Billboard R&B charts . Oleta Adams version ( edit ) `` Get Here '' Single by Oleta Adams from the album Circle of One B - side `` I 've Got to Sing My Song '' Released January 1 , 1991 ( UK ) March 15 , 1991 ( US ) Format 7 '' 12 '' CD single Cassette single Recorded Genre Pop soul Length 4 : 37 Label Fontana Songwriter ( s ) Brenda Russell Producer ( s ) Roland Orzabal David Bascombe Oleta Adams singles chronology `` Circle of One '' ( 1990 ) `` Get Here '' ( 1991 ) `` You 've Got to Give Me Room '' ( 1991 ) `` Circle of One '' ( 1990 ) `` Get Here '' ( 1991 ) `` You 've Got to Give Me Room '' ( 1991 ) It was while Oleta Adams was visiting Stockholm that she heard Russell 's song playing in a record store and was sufficiently impressed with the song to record it for her 1990 album Circle of One . Adams ' version of `` Get Here '' was issued as a single in early 1991 . World events at this time gave the song a resonance as an anthem for the US troops in the Gulf War -- underscored by the lyrics `` You can reach me by caravan / Cross the desert like an Arab man '' -- which sent Adams ' single into the top ten of the Billboard Hot 100 in the spring of 1991 .

Australian born Irish singer Johnny Logan recorded the song as `` Get Here If You Can '' for his album , We All Need Love ( 2003 ) . A humorous cover of `` Get Here '' , which featured comedy sound effects after each method of transport mentioned , was performed by fictional singer Michelle Coffee in the Peter Kay series Phoenix Nights . The song was performed by Andy Hallett as his character Lorne on the series Angel , in the season 2 episode `` First Impressions '' . During American Idol 's American Juniors , Lucy Hale sang `` Get Here '' in the top - 20 semi-final 2 . She was chosen as one of the 5 contestants who advanced to the next competition .

This strike finally ended some 45 days later , after it was put down by local and state militias , and federal troops . Because of economic problems and pressure on wages by the railroads , workers in numerous other cities , in New York , Pennsylvania and Maryland , into Illinois and Missouri , also went out on strike . An estimated 100 people were killed in the unrest across the country . In Martinsburg , Pittsburgh , Philadelphia and other cities , workers burned down and destroyed both physical facilities and the rolling stock of the railroads -- engines and railroad cars . Local populations feared that workers were rising in revolution such as the Paris Commune of 1871 . At the time , the workers were not represented by trade unions . The city and state governments organized armed militias , aided by national guard , federal troops and private militias organized by the railroads , who fought against the workers . Disruption was widespread and at its height , the strikes were supported by about 100,000 workers . With the intervention of federal troops in several locations , most of the strikes were suppressed by early August . Labor continued to work to organize into unions to work for better wages and conditions . Fearing the social disruption , many cities built armories to support their militias ; these defensive buildings still stand as symbols of the effort to suppress the labor unrest of this period . With public attention on workers ' wages and conditions , the B&O in 1880 founded an Employee Relief Association to provide death benefits and some health care . In 1884 it established a worker pension plan . Other improvements generally had to await labor organizing .

The failure of the Jay Cooke bank in New York , was followed quickly by that of Henry Clews , and set off a chain reaction of bank failures , temporarily closing the New York stock market . Unemployment rose dramatically , reaching 14 percent by 1876 , many more were severely underemployed , and wages overall dropped to 45 % of their previous level . Thousands of American businesses failed , defaulting on more than a billion dollars of debt . One in four laborers in New York were out of work in the winter of 1873 - 1874 . National construction of new rail lines dropped from 7,500 miles of track in 1872 to just 1,600 miles in 1875 , and production in iron and steel alone dropped as much as 45 % . Causes of the strike ( edit ) When the Civil War ended , a boom in railroad construction ensued , with roughly 55,000 kilometers ( 35,000 miles ) of new track being laid from coast - to - coast between 1866 and 1873 . The railroads , then the second largest employer outside of agriculture , required large amounts of capital investment , and thus entailed massive financial risk . Speculators fed large amounts of money into the industry , causing abnormal growth and over-expansion . Jay Cooke 's firm , like many other banking firms , invested a disproportionate share of depositors ' funds in the railroads , thus paving the way for the ensuing collapse . In addition to Cooke 's direct infusion of capital in the railroads , the firm had become a federal agent for the government in the government 's direct financing of railroad construction . As building new track in areas where land had not yet been cleared or settled required land grants and loans that only the government could provide , the use of Jay Cooke 's firm as a conduit for federal funding worsened the effects that Cooke 's bankruptcy had on the nation 's economy . In the wake of the Panic of 1873 , a bitter antagonism between workers and the leaders of industry developed . Immigration from Europe was underway , as was migration of rural workers into the cities , increasing competition for jobs and enabling companies to drive down wages and easily lay off workers . By 1877 , 10 percent wage cuts , distrust of capitalists and poor working conditions led to workers conducting numerous railroad strikes that prevented the trains from moving , with spiraling effects in other parts of the economy . Suppressed by violence , workers continued to organize to try to improve their conditions . Management worked to break up such movements , and mainstream society and the Catholic Church feared labor organizing as signs of socialism . Tensions lingered well after the depression ended in 1878 -- 79 . Many of the new immigrant workers were Catholics , and their church had forbidden participation in secret societies since 1743 , partially as a reaction against the anti-Catholicism of Freemasonry . But by the late 19th century , the Knights of Labor , a national and predominately Catholic organization , had 700,000 members seeking to represent all workers . In 1888 Archbishop James Cardinal Gibbons of Baltimore sympathized with the workers and collaborated with other bishops to lift the prohibition against workers joining the KOL . Other workers also took actions , and unrest marked the following decades . In 1886 Samuel Gompers founded the American Federation of Labor for the skilled craft trades , attracting skilled workers from other groups . Other labor organizing followed . The strike ( edit ) Maryland National Guard 's Sixth Regiment fighting its way west along main downtown commercial thoroughfare Baltimore Street through Baltimore , Maryland , 20 July 1877 The Great Railroad Strike of 1877 started on July 14 in Martinsburg , West Virginia , in response to the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad ( B&O ) cutting wages of workers for the third time in a year . Striking workers would not allow any of the trains , mainly freight trains , to roll until this third wage cut was revoked . West Virginia Governor Henry M. Mathews sent in state militia units to restore train service but the soldiers refused to fire on the strikers . The governor in Charleston , West Virginia then appealed for federal troops . Maryland ( edit ) Main article : Baltimore railroad strike of 1877 Meanwhile , the Strike also spread into western Maryland to the major railroad hub of Cumberland , county seat of Allegany County where railway workers stopped freight and passenger traffic . In Baltimore with the famous Fifth ( `` Dandy Fifth '' ) and Sixth Regiments of the former state militia , now reorganized since the war as the Maryland National Guard were also called up by 37th Maryland Governor John Lee Carroll , ( 1830 - 1911 ) , in Annapolis at the request of powerful B. & O. President John Work Garrett , ( 1820 - 1884 ) . The Fifth marched down North Howard Street from their armory above the old Richmond Market ( at present North Howard and West Read Streets ) in the Mount Vernon - Belvedere neighborhood and were generally unopposed heading south for the B. & O. 's general headquarters and main depot at the Camden Street Station to board the waiting westward trains to Hagerstown and Cumberland . But the unfortunate Sixth assembled at their armory at East Fayette and North Front Streets ( by the old Phoenix Shot Tower ) in the Old Town / Jonestown area and had to fight their way west through regular sympathetic Baltimore citizens , rioters and striking workers erupted bloodshed along main downtown commercial thoroughfare of Baltimore Street to get to Camden . It was a horrible scene reminiscent of the worst of the bloody `` Pratt Street Riots '' of the Civil War era disturbances of April 1861 , over 15 years earlier of the `` first bloodshed '' of the war . When the outnumbered troops of the 6th Regiment finally fired volleys on an attacking crowd on Baltimore Street , they killed 10 civilians and wounded 25 . The rioters injured several members of the militia , damaged B. & O. engines and train cars , and burned portions of the train station at South Howard and West Camden Streets . The militia remained trapped in the surrounding Camden Yards , besieged by armed rioters until July 21 -- 22 , when the 19th President Rutherford B. Hayes sent federal troops and the U.S. Marines to Baltimore to restore order . New York ( edit ) There were strike actions also further north in Albany , Syracuse and Buffalo , New York on other railroad lines . Workers in the cities in industries other than railroads still attacked them because of how they cut through the cities and dominated city life . Their resentment of the railroads ' economic power was expressed in physical attacks against them at a time when many workers ' wages were lowered . Protestors `` included cross-class elements from other work sites , small businesses , and commercial establishments . Some protestors acted out of solidarity with the strikers , but many more vented militant displeasure against dangerous railroad traffic that crisscrossed urban centers in that area . '' Pennsylvania ( edit ) Pittsburgh ( edit ) Main article : Pittsburgh railroad strike of 1877 Pittsburgh , Pennsylvania became the site of the worst violence of related strikes . Thomas Alexander Scott of the Pennsylvania Railroad , described as one of the first robber barons , suggested that the strikers should be given `` a rifle diet for a few days and see how they like that kind of bread . '' As in some other cities and towns , local law enforcement officers such as sheriffs , deputies and police refused to fire on the strikers . Several state militia units were ordered into service by Governor John Hartranft , including the 3rd Pennsylvania Infantry Regiment under the command of Colonel George R. Snowden . Burning of Pennsylvania Railroad and Union Depot , Pittsburgh , Pennsylvania , 21 -- 22 July 1877 , engraving from Harper 's Weekly Burning of Union Depot , Pittsburgh , Pennsylvania , 21 -- 22 July 1877 , engraving from Harper 's Weekly On July 21 , militiamen bayoneted and fired on rock - throwing strikers , killing 20 people and wounding 29 . Rather than quell the uprising , these actions infuriated the strikers , who retaliated and forced the militia to take refuge in a railroad roundhouse . Strikers set fires that razed 39 buildings and destroyed rolling stock : 104 locomotives and 1,245 freight and passenger cars . On July 22 , the militia mounted an assault on the strikers , shooting their way out of the roundhouse and killing 20 more people on their way out of the city . After more than a month of rioting and bloodshed in Pittsburgh , President Rutherford B. Hayes sent in federal troops as in West Virginia and Maryland to end the strikes and strife . Philadelphia ( edit ) Three hundred miles to the east , Philadelphia strikers battled local militia and set fire to much of Center City before Pennsylvania Governor John Hartranft gained assistance and federal troops from President Hayes to put down the uprising . Reading ( edit ) Main article : Reading Railroad massacre Workers in Reading , Pennsylvania 's third - largest industrial city at the time , also broke out into a strike . This city was home of the engine works and shops of the Reading Railroad , against which engineers had struck since April 1877 . State militia shot 16 citizens . Preludes to the massacre included : fresh work stoppage by all classes of the railroad 's local workforce ; mass marches ; blocking of rail traffic ; and trainyard arson . Workers burned down the only railroad bridge offering connections to the west , in order to prevent local militia from being mustered to actions in the state capital of Harrisburg or Pittsburgh . Authorities used state militia , local police and the Pennsylvania Pinkerton National Detective Agency in an attempt to break the strike . Reading Railroad management mobilized a private militia , which members committed the shootings in the city . This militia was not mobilized by local public officials . Shamokin ( edit ) Main article : 1877 Shamokin uprising On July 25 , 1000 men and boys , many of them coal miners , marched to the Reading Railroad Depot in Shamokin , east of Sunbury along the Susquehanna River valley . They looted the depot when the town announced it would pay them only $1 / day for emergency public employment . The mayor , who owned coal mines , organized a city militia . It committed 14 civilian shooting casualties , resulting in the deaths of two persons . Scranton ( edit ) Main article : Scranton General Strike On August 1 , 1877 , in Scranton in northeast Pennsylvania , one day after railroad workers conceded a strike , a city posse of 51 men armed with new rifles and under the command of William Walker Scranton , general manager of the Lackawanna Iron & Coal Company , returned fire at a group of rioters , strikers , and , most likely , bystanders . The posse killed or fatally wounded four and wounded an undetermined number of others , estimated at 20 to 50 , according to different sources . Pennsylvania Governor Hartranft declared Scranton to be under martial law ; it was occupied by state and federal troops armed with Gatling guns . Later the posse leader and about 20 of his men were charged with assault and murder . They were all acquitted . Under the effects of the shootings and military occupation , the miners ended their strike without gaining any of their demands . Illinois ( edit ) Main article : Chicago railroad strike of 1877 On July 24 , rail traffic in Chicago was paralyzed when angry mobs of unemployed citizens wreaked havoc in the rail yards , shutting down both the Baltimore and Ohio and the Illinois Central railroads . Soon , other railroads throughout the state were brought to a standstill , with demonstrators shutting down railroad traffic in Bloomington , Aurora , Peoria , Decatur , Urbana and other rail centers throughout Illinois . In sympathy , coal miners in the pits at Braidwood , LaSalle , Springfield , and Carbondale went on strike as well . In Chicago , the Workingmen 's Party organized demonstrations that drew crowds of 20,000 people . Judge Thomas Drummond of the United States Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit , who was overseeing numerous railroads that had declared bankruptcy in the wake of the earlier financial Panic of 1873 , ruled that `` A strike or other unlawful interference with the trains will be a violation of the United States law , and the court will be bound to take notice of it and enforce the penalty . '' Drummond told the U.S. Marshals to protect the railroads , and asked for federal troops to enforce his decision : he subsequently had strikers arrested and tried them for contempt of court . The Mayor of Chicago , Monroe Heath , recruited 5,000 men as volunteer militia , asking for help in restoring order . They were partially successful , and shortly thereafter were reinforced by the arrival of the Illinois National Guard and U.S. Army troops , mobilized by the governor . On July 25 , violence between police and the mob erupted , with events reaching a peak the following day . These blood - soaked confrontations between police and enraged mobs are known as the Battle of the Viaduct as they took place near the Halsted Street viaduct , although confrontations also took place at nearby 16th Street , on 12th , and on Canal Street . The headline of the Chicago Times screamed , `` Terrors Reign , The Streets of Chicago Given Over to Howling Mobs of Thieves and Cutthroats . '' Order was finally restored . An estimated 20 men and boys died , none of whom were law enforcement or troops ; scores more were wounded ; and the loss of property was valued in the millions of dollars . Missouri ( edit ) Main article : 1877 St. Louis general strike On July 21 , disgruntled workers in the industrial rail hub of East St. Louis , Illinois , halted all freight traffic , with the city remaining in the control of the strikers for almost a week . The St. Louis Workingman 's Party led a group of approximately 500 men across the Missouri River in an act of solidarity with the nearly 1,000 workers on strike . It was a catalyst for labor unrest spreading , with thousands of workers in several industries striking for the eight - hour day and a ban on child labor . This was the first such general strike in the United States . The strike on both sides of the river was ended after the governor appealed for help and gained the intervention of some 3,000 federal troops and 5,000 deputized special police . These armed forces killed at least eighteen people in skirmishes around the city . On July 28 , 1877 , they took control of the Relay Depot , the Commune 's command center , and arrested some seventy strikers . Strike over ( edit ) The Great Railroad Strike of 1877 began to lose momentum when President Hayes sent federal troops from city to city . These troops suppressed strike after strike , until at last , approximately 45 days after it had started , the Great Railroad Strike of 1877 was over . Aftermath and legacy ( edit ) Economic effects ( edit ) Strikers in Pittsburgh burned in total 39 buildings , 104 engines , 46 -- 66 passenger cars , and 1,200 -- 1,383 freight cars . Damage estimates ranged from five to 10 million dollars . Labor relations ( edit ) After the Great Railroad Strike of 1877 , union organizers planned for their next battles while politicians and business leaders took steps to prevent a repetition of this chaos . Many states enacted conspiracy statutes . States formed new militia units and constructed National Guard armories in numerous industrial cities . For workers and employers alike , the strikes had shown the power of workers in combination to challenge the status quo . A state militiaman in Pittsburgh , ordered to break the 1877 strike , pointed out that the workers were driven by `` one spirit and one purpose among them - -- that they were justified in resorting to any means to break down the power of the corporations . '' Unions became better organized as well as more competent , and the number of strikes increased . The Knights of Labor grew to be a national organization of predominately Catholic workers , numbering 700,000 by the early 1880s . In the 1880s nearly 10,000 strike actions and lockouts took place . In 1886 nearly 700,000 workers went on strike . Business leaders strengthened their opposition to the unions , often firing men who tried to organize or join them . Nonetheless , the labor movement continued to grow . One result of the strike was increased public awareness of the grievances of railroad workers . On May 1 , 1880 the B&O Railroad , which had the lowest wage rate of any major railroad , established the Baltimore and Ohio Employees ' Relief Association , which provided coverage for sickness , injury from accidents , and a death benefit . In 1884 , the B&O became the first major employer to offer a pension plan . National Guard ( edit ) Attempts to utilize local militia to quell violent outbreaks in 1877 highlighted their ineffectiveness , and in some cases their propensity to outright side with strikers and rioters . In response , as earlier riots in the mid 1800s had prompted the modernization of police forces , the violence of 1877 provided the impetus for the formation of the modern National Guard , `` to aid the civil officers , to suppress or prevent riot or insurrections . '' Commemoration ( edit ) In 2003 the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Martinsburg Shops , where the strike began , were declared a National Historic Landmark . In 2013 a historical marker commemorating the event was placed in Baltimore , MD , by the Maryland Historical Trust and Maryland State Highway Administration . Its inscription reads : The first national strike began July 16 , 1877 , with Baltimore and Ohio Railroad workers in Martinsburg , West Virginia , and Baltimore , Maryland . It spread across the nation halting rail traffic and closing factories in reaction to widespread worker discontent over wage cuts and conditions during a national depression . Broken by Federal troops in early August , the strike energized the labor movement and was precursor to labor unrest in the 1880s and 1890s . Another was placed in 1978 in Martinsburg , WV by the West Virginia Department of Culture and History .

"The Great Railroad Strike of 1877, sometimes referred to as the Great Upheaval, began on July 14 in Martinsburg, West Virginia, United States after the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad (B&O) cut wages for the third time in a year. This strike finally ended some 45 days later, after it was put down by local and state militias, and federal troops. Because of economic problems and pressure on wages by the railroads, workers in numerous other cities, in New York, Pennsylvania and Maryland, into Illinois and Missouri, also went out on strike. An estimated 100 people were killed in the unrest across the country. In Martinsburg, Pittsburgh, Philadelphia and other cities, workers burned down and destroyed both physical facilities and the rolling stock of the railroads—engines and railroad cars. Local populations feared that workers were rising in revolution such as the Paris Commune of 1871."

The specific problem is : readability Please help improve this article if you can . ( October 2015 ) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message ) Know your customer ( KYC ) is the process of a business identifying and verifying the identity of its clients . The term is also used to refer to the bank and anti-money laundering regulations which governs these activities . Know your customer processes are also employed by companies of all sizes for the purpose of ensuring their proposed agents , consultants , or distributors are anti-bribery compliant . Banks , insurers and export creditors are increasingly demanding that customers provide detailed anti-corruption due diligence information . Contents ( hide ) 1 Standards 2 Typical controls 3 Laws by country 4 Enhanced due diligence 4.1 Characteristics of EDD 4.1. 1 Rigorous and robust 4.1. 2 Over and above KYC procedures 4.1. 3 Reasonable assurance 4.1. 4 Relevant adverse information 5 See also 6 References Standards ( edit ) The objectives of KYC guidelines is to prevent banks from being used , intentionally or unintentionally , by criminal elements for money laundering activities . Related procedures also enable banks to better understand their customers and their financial dealings . This helps them manage their risks prudently . Banks usually frame their KYC policies incorporating the following four key elements : Customer Acceptance Policy ; Customer Identification Procedures ; Monitoring of Transactions ; and Risk management . For the purposes of a KYC policy , a Customer / user may be defined as : a person or entity that maintains an account and / or has a business relationship with the bank ; one on whose behalf the account is maintained ( i.e. the beneficial owner ) ; beneficiaries of transactions conducted by professional intermediaries such as stockbrokers , Chartered Accountants , or solicitors , as permitted under the law ; or any person or entity connected with a financial transaction which can pose significant reputational or other risks to the bank , for example , a wire transfer or issue of a high - value demand draft as a single transaction Typical controls ( edit ) KYC controls typically include the following : Collection and analysis of basic identity information such as Identity documents ( referred to in US regulations and practice as a `` Customer Identification Program '' or CIP ) Name matching against lists of known parties ( such as `` politically exposed person '' or PEP ) Determination of the customer 's risk in terms of propensity to commit money laundering , terrorist finance , or identity theft Creation of an expectation of a customer 's transactional behavior Monitoring of a customer 's transactions against expected behavior and recorded profile as well as that of the customer 's peers Laws by country ( edit ) Australia : The Anti-Money Laundering and Counter-Terrorism Financing Act 2006 ( AML / CTF Act ) gives effect to KYC laws . The Anti-Money Laundering and Counter-Terrorism Financing Rules Instrument 2007 provides guidance for applying the powers and requirements of the Act . Compliance is governed by the Australian Government agency , Australian Transaction Reports and Analysis Centre , established in 1989 , known as AUSTRAC . Canada : The Financial Transactions Reports Analysis Centre of Canada , also known as FINTRAC , was created in 2000 as Canada 's financial intelligence unit . FINTRAC updated its regulations in June 2016 regarding acceptable methods to determine the identity of individual clients to ensure compliance with AML and KYC regulations . India : The Reserve Bank of India introduced KYC guidelines for all banks in 2002 . In 2004 , RBI directed all banks to ensure that they are fully compliant with the KYC provisions before December 31 , 2005 . Italy : the country 's Central Bank ( Banca d'Italia ) , which also exercises regulation power for the financial industry , has enacted in 2007 the KYC requirements and rules that financial institutions have to comply with on the italian territory . Namibia : Financial Intelligence Act , 2012 ( Act No. 13 of 2012 ) published as Government Notice 299 in Gazette 5096 of 14 December 2012 . New Zealand : Updated KYC laws were enacted in late 2009 and entered into force in 2010 . KYC is mandatory for all registered banks and financial institutions ( the latter has an extremely wide meaning ) . South Africa : The Financial Intelligence Centre Act 38 of 2001 ( FICA ) United Kingdom : The Money Laundering Regulations 2007 are the underlying rules that govern KYC in the UK . Many UK businesses use the guidance provided by the European Joint Money Laundering Steering Group as a guide to compliance . United States : Pursuant to the USA Patriot Act of 2001 , the Secretary of the Treasury was required to finalize regulations before October 26 , 2002 making KYC mandatory for all US banks . The related processes are required to conform to a customer identification program ( CIP ) Luxembourg : KYC is governed in the Anti-Money Laundering ( AML ) laws and regulations , which became effective in 1993 and were amended for the last time in 2015 . Enhanced due diligence ( edit ) Enhanced due diligence ( EDD ) is a more detailed standard required for larger customers and transactions . The USA PATRIOT Act dictates that institutions `` shall establish appropriate , specific , and , where necessary , enhanced , due diligence policies , procedures , and controls that are reasonably designed to detect and report instances of money laundering through those accounts . '' US regulations require that EDD measures are applied to account types such as Private banking , Correspondent account , and Offshore banking institutions . Because regulatory definitions are neither globally consistent nor prescriptive , financial institutions are at risk of being held to differing standards dependent upon their jurisdiction and regulatory environment . An article published by Peter Warrack in the July 2006 edition of ACAMS Today ( Association of Certified Anti-Money Laundering Specialists ) suggests the following : `` A rigorous and robust process of investigation over and above ( KYC ) procedures , that seeks with reasonable assurance to verify and validate the customer 's identity ; understand and test the customer 's profile , business and account activity ; identify relevant adverse information and risk ; assess the potential for money laundering and / or terrorist financing to support actionable decisions to mitigate against financial , regulatory and reputational risk and ensure regulatory compliance . '' Characteristics of EDD ( edit ) Rigorous and robust ( edit ) Generally this means consistent , thorough and accurate . The process must be documented and available for inspection by regulators . The process must be SMART ( Specific , Measurable , Achievable , Relevant and Timebound ) , scalable and proportionate to the risk and resources . Over and above KYC procedures ( edit ) EDD files rely upon initial client screening . EDD processes should use a tiered approach dependent upon the risk . Crucial to the integrity of any EDD process is the reliability of information and information sources , the type and quality of information sources used , properly trained analysts who know where to look for information , how to look and how to corroborate , interpret and decide the results . Commercial intelligence companies aggregate this information and compile it daily into a comprehensive database . Many of these commercial intelligence companies are serviced by in - country providers with researchers on the ground who can obtain information that is not otherwise easily accessible . Reasonable assurance ( edit ) What is reasonable depends upon factors including jurisdiction , risk , resources , and technology state of the art . For sanction matches it depends upon information provided by regulators . In all cases the suggested standard is to the civil standard of proof i.e. on the balance of probability . Relevant adverse information ( edit ) Information obtained from any source , including the Internet , free and subscription databases and the media , which is directly or indirectly indicative of involvement in money laundering , terrorist financing or predicate offenses . Examples include fraud and other dishonesty , drug trafficking , smuggling or other proscribed offenses , references to money laundering , or conducting business , residing in or frequenting countries deemed by the Financial Action Task Force and / or ( institution ) as being countries under sanction or countries with which ( institution ) does not do business ; to official sanctions or watch lists ; and to investigations , convictions or disciplinary findings by authorized regulatory bodies .

Restraint Lap bar Fast Lane Plus only available Top Thrill Dragster at RCDB Pictures of Top Thrill Dragster at RCDB Top Thrill Dragster is a steel accelerator roller coaster built by Intamin at Cedar Point in Sandusky , Ohio , United States . It was the sixteenth roller coaster built at the park since the Blue Streak in 1964 . When built in 2003 , it was the first full circuit roller coaster to exceed 400 feet ( 120 m ) in height , and was the tallest roller coaster in the world , before being surpassed by Kingda Ka at Six Flags Great Adventure in May 2005 . Top Thrill Dragster , along with Kingda Ka , are the only strata coasters in existence . It was the second hydraulically launched roller coaster built by Intamin , following Xcelerator at Knott 's Berry Farm . The tagline for Top Thrill Dragster is `` Race for the Sky '' . Contents 1 History 2 Ride experience 2.1 Layout 2.2 Theme / trains 2.3 Rollbacks 3 World records 4 Operation 5 Incidents 6 Awards 7 Records 8 References 9 External links History ( edit ) Planning for Top Thrill Dragster started around 2000 when Millennium Force opened . Footers started being poured during the winter of 2001 / 2002 then were covered up during the 2002 operating season . To construct the roller coaster , the park had to use a 480 feet ( 150 m ) crane , one of only four in the United States . Vertical construction by Martin & Vleminckx started in fall 2002 , months before the announcement . By October 2002 , the roller coaster had reached 200 feet ( 61 m ) . The ride was announced on January 9 , 2003 and the structure , built by Intamin 's subcontractor Stakotra , was finished shortly after . It is tied with Millennium Force for being the two largest investments in Cedar Point history . The announcement revealed the park 's goal to build `` the tallest and fastest roller coaster on earth '' , reaching 420 feet ( 130 m ) and accelerating up to 120 miles per hour ( 193 km / h ) in 3.8 seconds . On March 10 , 2003 , Cedar Fair Entertainment Company filed a trademark for the name Top Thrill Dragster . Top Thrill Dragster 's media day was held on May 1 , 2003 then it officially opened to the public on May 4 . It became the `` tallest '' and `` fastest '' roller coaster in the world overtaking both world records from Steel Dragon 2000 at Nagashima Spa Land that was just built three years earlier . It lost the title of being the world 's tallest and fastest roller coaster when Kingda Ka at Six Flags Great Adventure opened in May 2005 . Intamin designed both Kingda Ka and Top Thrill Dragster , and the two share a similar design and layout that differs primarily by the theme and the additional hill featured on Kingda Ka . The ride had constant downtime in its first couple seasons . Several problems such as the ride 's hydraulic system and launch cable caused the ride to experience downtime . Top Thrill Dragster was also closed in 2003 for the annual event , CoasterMania . Ride experience ( edit ) Layout ( edit ) Top Thrill Dragster 's launch area with `` Christmas tree '' After leaving the station , the train enters the launch area . To the left of the launch area is a `` Christmas tree '' light , similar to those employed at the starting line of a drag strip . A brief message is played to the riders to : `` keep arms down , head back , and hold on . '' Once the train is prepared to launch , a motor revving sound effect is played and its magnetic braking fins are lowered from the launch track . It then launches , accelerating to a speed of 120 mph ( 190 km / h ) in 3.8 seconds . Shortly after reaching its maximum velocity , the catch car disengages , and the train begins its ascent up a 90 - degree incline , twisting 90 degrees clockwise before climbing over the 420 - foot ( 130 m ) top hat . Upon descending , the track twists 270 degrees before leveling out , allowing the train to be stopped by the magnetic brakes . Theme / trains ( edit ) The roller coaster is based on the Top Fuel drag racing motor sport . A real Top Fuel dragster weighs approximately one ton , while each train on the coaster weighs 15 tons . Its dragster themed trains once had decorative spoilers and engines , but these were removed soon after opening , allowing an extra row of seats to be added to each one . Also , when the ride opened , it had only four cars on each train , including the decals . By the middle of the 2003 season , the fifth cars were added to all trains , making them the five cars long that they are now . The fifth cars were added on shortly before the decals were removed . The ride 's theme song , `` Ready to Go '' by Republica , is played while in the station . Rollbacks ( edit ) Occasionally , a train is launched with not enough speed to clear the crest . This typically happens in cool , wet , or breezy weather , or when the wind is working against it . In these conditions , the launch often does not provide it with enough speed to climb over the hill , which causes it to stop short of the top , and roll back down the hill in reverse , hence the term `` rollback '' . The launch track is equipped with retractable magnetic braking fins which are raised after the train is launched in order to slow it down in the event it does not crest the hill . On very rare occasions , a combination of the weight distribution of the train , the force of the launch , and the wind can stall a train on the top of the tower . When this happens , a mechanic takes the elevator to the top and pushes the train down the hill . World records ( edit ) Side view of Top Thrill Dragster When Top Thrill Dragster debuted , it set four new records : World 's tallest complete circuit roller coaster World 's tallest roller coaster World 's tallest roller coaster drop World 's fastest roller coaster It was the fourth roller coaster to break the 100 miles per hour ( 160 km / h ) speed barrier . It was preceded by Tower of Terror II at Dreamworld , Superman : Escape from Krypton at Six Flags Magic Mountain and Dodonpa at Fuji - Q Highland . The previous record holder for overall height was Superman : Escape from Krypton at Six Flags Magic Mountain , standing at 415 feet ( 126 m ) . Its record was broken in 2005 when Kingda Ka opened at Six Flags Great Adventure , standing 456 feet ( 139 m ) tall . The previous record holder for speed was Dodonpa , at 107 miles per hour ( 172 km / h ) . This record was broken by Top Thrill Dragster , which reaches speeds up to 120 miles per hour ( 190 km / h ) , which was later broken by Kingda Ka which reached a top speed of 128 miles per hour ( 206 km / h ) . In November 2010 , Formula Rossa at Ferrari World broke the record for fastest roller coaster , with a top speed of 149.1 miles per hour ( 240.0 km / h ) . As of 2015 , Top Thrill Dragster has the second tallest lift , the third fastest speed , and the second - highest drop among steel roller coasters in the world . Operation ( edit ) Top Thrill Dragster is negatively affected by unfavourable weather conditions as both a high altitude and high velocity ride . `` Rain , high winds , and / or lightning '' may result in the closing of the ride depending on the severity . It will close in high winds and any kind of precipitation . There is no minimum age requirement , but passengers must meet the miniumum height requirement of 52 inches and a maximum of 78 inches to ride . Some persons over a certain weight / waist size will not be permitted to ride if the seat and lapbar harness can not accommodate them . Passengers on Dragster may not bring any loose articles onto the train and will be required to wear shirts and footwear . Headphones must be removed before boarding . Passengers are advised that they must not ride Dragster if they have `` a history of recent surgery , heart trouble / high blood pressure , neck trouble , back trouble , or any other condition that may be aggravated by riding , or who are pregnant '' . Incidents ( edit ) On July 14 , 2004 , four people were struck by flying debris while riding the coaster . Reports indicated that a metal cable frayed during launch , shearing off shards of metal that struck the riders . The injuries were mainly arm abrasions , with one passenger experiencing cuts to the face . They were treated at the park 's first aid station , and two later sought further medical attention . On August 7 , 2016 , two people were treated for minor injuries when the launch cable detached from the ride . The ride was closed for the following day while the park and Ohio state officials investigated the incident . In September 2017 , a report with photos surfaced that the braking system on the launch side of the track may have been damaged , causing the ride to close indefinitely . Cedar Point did not acknowledge the incident and stated the closure was for maintenance reasons .

The anime 's website announced in February 2016 that the project would be a television series . A second trailer was streamed in March 2016 . A teaser video was streamed on the series ' website in early June 2016 . At the conclusion of the first season 's final episode , a teaser confirmed a second season for April 2017 . The brief clip showed off the character Schierke and the Berserker armor , indicating the second season would adapt the next arc , `` Hawk of the Millennium Empire '' . Kentaro Miura , the author of the original manga , is serving as executive supervisor for the anime . The series is directed by Shin Itagaki and written by Makoto Fukami and Takashi Yamashita . The character designs are provided by Hisashi Abe . Animation studio Liden Films is producing the series with GEMBA and Millepensee helming on the animation production . Shirō Sagisu returns from the Berserk : The Golden Age Arc films to compose the music for the series , while Susumu Hirasawa , composer for the 1997 series and the Golden Age Arc films , returns to produce two insert songs for the series , titled `` Ashes '' ( 灰 よ , Hai yo ) and `` Ash Crow '' . For first season , the opening theme song , `` Inferno '' , is performed by 9mm Parabellum Bullet , while the ending theme , `` Meimoku no Kanata '' ( 瞑目 の 彼方 , lit . `` Beyond Closed Eyes '' ) , is performed by Nagi Yanagi . For second season , the opening theme song , `` Sacrifice '' , performed by 9mm Parabellum Bullet , while the ending theme , `` Issai wa Monogatari '' ( 一切 は 物語 , lit . `` Everything is the Story '' ) , performed by Yoshino Nanjō feat Nagi Yanagi . The primary voice cast are reprising their roles from the Golden Age Arc film trilogy , while voice actor Unshō Ishizuka is reprising his role as both Void and the Narrator from the original anime . Producer Reo Kurosu has described the show 's animation style as `` a hybrid between 2D and 3D '' , elaborating that `` For this series we 're trying to do something new . The director is a 2D animator so what goes on in his mind and what he puts on storyboard is all in 2D . From there it 's all about choosing which tool to use between full CG animation , traditional 2D , or a hybrid of the two . The director and the 2D and 3D studios will meet and discuss what to use when depending upon what we 're trying to accomplish with each scene . '' The 3D characters and objects are rendered with Cel shading to make them look more like 2D cartoons . A particular feature is that the shadows on 3D objects contain a linear hatching effect which simulates shading with a pen or pencil , and the same hatching effect is applied to the shadows that appear on any 2D models to create a more uniform look . Broadcast and Release ( edit ) The 12 - episode series premiered on 1 July 2016 on WOWOW , and later on MBS 's Animeism programming block , TBS , CBC , and BS - TBS . The second season of the series began airing on April 7 , 2017 , with an hour - long two episode premiere . The series is being simulcast on Crunchyroll . Crunchyroll announced at the annual Anime Expo on 1 July 2016 that the company will be releasing the series with an English dub on Blu - ray and DVD . The exact date that the series will be released has not been announced . On March 17th 2017 , IGN released a clip of the Berserk English dub and was announced that the series will be distributed by Funimation , but the series was dubbed by Bang Zoom ! Entertainment . This marks the first time NYAV Post had no involvement in dubbing Berserk media since Sword of the Berserk . The first season was available on March 20th by Funimation . Episodes ( edit ) See also : List of Berserk ( 2016 TV series ) episodes Reception ( edit ) IGN contributor Meghan Sullivan gave the opening episode a score of 8.5 out of a possible 10 . In the review Sullivan praised the episodes ' direction stating , `` despite the somewhat distracting visuals , `` The Branded Swordsman '' gets Guts ' quest for vengeance off to a strong start . '' Writer Cecilia D'Anastasio applauded the opening episode in a review published by Kotaku , going so far as to state that it `` already outshines the 90 's original . '' Though , noting the series ' sub-par animation quality , D'Anastasio concluded , `` Berserk is not for the faint - hearted . But `` The Branded Swordsman '' proved to me that directors of fighting - heavy anime are making more of an effort to beautify and civilize the genre , doing justice to manga that showcases writing and ingenuity . '' Anime News Network contributor Jacob Hope Chapman was critical of the show 's production quality in his review of episodes 1 -- 3 , stating that , `` Berserk 2016 is an abominably ugly and almost forcefully unpleasant realization of our dreams , with cut - rate CGI , questionable music choices , and disorienting camera work . '' However , to him the strength of the source work helps to carry the show , and Itagaki 's frenetic directing style at least keeps the action interesting : `` Once you manage to unclench your teeth at all those garish cel - shaded puppet bodies smacking against each other , Miura 's compelling story and captivating world still shine as one - of - a-kind flights of dark imagination with poignant characterization , even as they struggle under such a lackluster production .

Please help improve this article by adding citations to reliable sources . Unsourced material may be challenged and removed . ( November 2006 ) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message ) Hardiness zones in the British Isles Köppen climate types of the UK The United Kingdom straddles the higher mid-latitudes between 49 ° and 61 ° N. It is on the western seaboard of Afro - Eurasia , the world 's largest land mass . Since the UK is always in or close to the path of the polar front jet stream , frequent changes in pressure and unsettled weather are typical . Many types of weather can be experienced in a single day . In general the climate of the UK is cool and often cloudy , and hot temperatures are infrequent . The climate in the United Kingdom is defined as a temperate oceanic climate , or Cfb on the Köppen climate classification system , a classification it shares with most of north - west Europe . Regional climates are influenced by the Atlantic Ocean and latitude . Northern Ireland , Wales and western parts of England and Scotland , being closest to the Atlantic Ocean , are generally the mildest , wettest and windiest regions of the UK , and temperature ranges here are seldom extreme . Eastern areas are drier , cooler , less windy and also experience the greatest daily and seasonal temperature variations . Northern areas are generally cooler , wetter and have slightly larger temperature ranges than southern areas . The UK is mostly under the influence of the maritime polar air mass from the north - west . Northern Ireland and the west of Scotland are the most exposed to the maritime polar air mass which brings cool moist air ; the east of Scotland and north - east England are more exposed to the continental polar air mass which brings cold dry air . South and south - east of England are the least exposed to Polar air masses from the north - west , and on occasion see continental tropical air mass from the south , which brings warm dry air in the summer . If the air masses are strong enough in their respective areas during the summer , there can sometimes be a large difference in temperature between the far north of Scotland ( including the Islands ) and south - east of England -- often a difference of 10 -- 15 ° C ( 18 - 27 ° F ) but sometimes of as much as 20 ° C ( 36 ° F ) or more . In the height of summer the Northern Isles could have temperatures around 15 ° C ( 59 ° F ) and areas around London could reach 30 ° C ( 86 ° F ) .

England is also sunnier throughout the year , but unlike Wales , Northern Ireland & Scotland , the sunniest month is July , totalling 193.5 hours . It rains on fewer days in every month throughout the year than the rest of the UK , and rainfall totals are less in every month , with the driest month , May , averaging 58.4 mm ( 2.30 in ) . The climate of south - west England displays a seasonal temperature variation , although it is less extreme than most of the United Kingdom . Gales are less common in England compared to Scotland ; however on some occasions there can be strong winds , and rarely , the remains of Atlantic hurricanes and tropical storms .

Wales is wetter throughout the year than Northern Ireland and England , but has fewer rainy days than Northern Ireland ; meaning that rainfall tends to be more intense . Wales is also drier than Scotland in every month apart from May , June and December , and there are fewer days with rain than in Scotland . Sunshine totals throughout the year are more than that of Scotland and Northern Ireland , but less than that of neighbouring England . May is the sunniest month , averaging 186.8 hours .

Spring is generally a calm , cool season , particularly because the Atlantic has lost much of its heat throughout the autumn and winter . As the sun rises higher in the sky and the days get longer , temperatures slowly rise , but the solar effect is mitigated somewhat by the effect of the cool ocean waters and westerly winds that blow across them . There is a fair chance of snow earlier in the season when temperatures are colder - often in March . Some of the country 's heaviest snowfalls of recent years have happened in the first half of March , and snow showers can occur infrequently until mid-April . They have been known to develop as late as mid-May over some areas of the country , such as in 2013 when snow was recorded on 14 May over parts of Staffordshire , Herefordshire and Wales . Snow was also recorded at lower levels in early June 1975 . More recently , there was a disruptive snow event between 26 and 29 April 2016 across much of Northern England and Scotland , which was unusually the only significant snow event of the winter 2015 / 16 . Snow , frost and ice can be disruptive and damaging to flowering plants , particularly later in the spring . Early spring can be quite cold , and occasionally the lowest temperatures of the year can occur in March , as it did at Heathrow Airport on 5 March 2001 , 4 March 2006 and 8 March 2011 . Temperatures below freezing are not unusual in March , even in the south of the UK . On the other hand , high temperatures above 30 ° C are generally rare but can occur on occasion ; most recently on 25 May 2012 . It was even hotter on 27 May 2005 , when 31.9 ° C was recorded in London . Rarely , the hottest day of the year can be in spring . As stated below , 27 May was the hottest day of the year in 2012 in most parts of the UK . In Aberdaron , the hottest day of 2011 was very early on in the year on 21 April . Temperatures in March seldom reach 20 ° C , as they did in 1990 , 1993 , 2012 and 2017 , and this temperature is usually reached for the first time in April or May . Throughout spring , there can be very dramatic temperature swings between day night . On 9 April 2017 , night - time temperatures fell to just 3 ° C at Northolt , but 25 ° C was reached in the afternoon . Warmth in Spring depends almost entirely on the strength of the sun , and can trigger thunderstorms and downpours . Mean temperatures in Spring are markedly influenced by latitude . Most of Scotland and the mountains of Wales and northern England are the coolest areas of the UK , with average temperatures ranging from − 0.6 to 5.8 ° C ( 30.9 to 42.4 ° F ) . The southern half of England experiences the warmest spring temperatures of between 8.8 and 10.3 ° C ( 47.8 and 50.5 ° F ) . Summer ( edit ) Summer lasts from June to August and is the warmest and usually the sunniest season . Rainfall totals can have a wide local variation due to localised thundershowers . These thundershowers mainly occur in southern , eastern , and central England and are less frequent and severe in the north and west . Climatic differences at this time of year are more influenced by latitude and proximity to the ocean . Temperatures are the highest in southern and central areas and lowest in the north . Hot weather above 27 ° C in most places and in most years occurs on multiple days per year , but more frequently in London and south - east England and less so in parts of Scotland . The record maximum is 38.5 ° C ( 101.3 ° F ) recorded in Faversham , Kent on 10 August 2003 . Autumn ( edit ) Autumn in the United Kingdom lasts from September to November . The season is notorious for being unsettled -- as cool polar air moves southwards following the sun , it meets the warm air of the tropics and produces an area of great disturbance along which the country lies . This combined with the warm ocean due to heating throughout the spring and summer , produces the unsettled weather of autumn . In addition , when the air is particularly cold temperatures on land may be colder than the ocean , resulting in significant amounts of condensation and clouds which bring rain to the country . Atlantic depressions during this time can become intense and winds of hurricane force ( greater than 119 km / h or 74 mph ) can be recorded . Western areas , being closest to the Atlantic , experience these severe conditions to a significantly greater extent than eastern areas . As such , autumn , particularly the latter part , is often the stormiest time of the year . One particularly intense depression was the Great Storm of 1987 . A very severe storm affected the UK on 27 October 2002 which , at Mumbles head near Swansea , recorded maximum sustained wind speeds of over 123 km / h , equivalent to a category 1 hurricane . The autumn of 2013 was also littered with severe storms , including the St. Jude 's Storm on 28 October 2013 . Autumn can also be a cold season at times - in recent years , very low temperatures and heavy snowfall have been recorded during November 1985 , November 1993 & November 2010 , which set a new record low of - 18.0 ° C in Wales on 28 November 2010 . At Northolt , the coldest temperature of the year 2016 was set on 30 November . Snow also fell rather widely across the UK on 28 & 29 October 2008 , causing traffic problems where it settled on the M4 . Even further south , low temperatures can be recorded , with temperatures well below freezing as far south as Heathrow Airport between 29 & 31 October 1997 - for context , the low of 30 October 1997 recorded was lower than any recorded at this station in March , November or December 1997 and even the following January , 1998 - only the low temperatures on 2 & 4 February 1998 prevented it from being the lowest temperature of the winter at this station . The first frosts of the winter are usually recorded between October & December , but they are quite unusual in September except on high ground when the surrounding ocean is at or near its warmest . It is not particularly unusual for September to be warmer than June , as it was in 1999 . However , the United Kingdom sometimes experiences an ' Indian Summer ' , where temperatures particularly by night can be very mild and rarely fall below 10 ° C ( 50 ° F ) . Such events are aided by the surrounding Atlantic Ocean and seas being at their warmest , keeping the country in warm air , despite the relatively weak sun . Examples of this were in 1985 , 1999 , 2005 , 2006 , 2011 and 2016 where September saw above average temperatures which felt more like a continuation of summer than autumn . Autumns since 2000 have generally been very mild with notable extremes of precipitation ; the UK has seen some of its wettest and driest autumns since the millennium. 2011 and 2016 were notable as many areas of the country recorded their highest temperatures of the year in September and October ( for example , 28.2 ° C at Hawarden on 1 October , 26.3 ° C at St. Athan on 2 October 2011 and the UK 's highest temperature of 2016 on 13 September with 34.4 ° C at Gravesend ) . Coastal areas in the southern half of England have on average the warmest autumns , with mean temperatures of 10.7 to 13.0 ° C ( 51.3 to 55.4 ° F ) . Mountainous areas of Wales and northern England , and almost all of Scotland , experience mean temperatures between 1.7 and 7.5 ° C ( 35.1 and 45.5 ° F ) . Winter ( edit ) Winter in the UK is defined as lasting from December to February . The season is generally cool , wet , windy , and cloudy . Temperatures at night rarely drop below − 10 ° C ( 14 ° F ) and in the day rarely rise above 15 ° C ( 59 ° F ) . Precipitation is plentiful throughout the season , though snow is relatively infrequent despite the country 's high latitude : The only areas with significant snowfall are the Scottish Highlands and the Pennines , where at higher elevations a colder climate determines the vegetation , mainly temperate coniferous forest , although deforestation has severely decreased forest area . For a majority of the landmass snow is possible but not frequent , apart from the higher altitudes , where snow can lie 1 -- 5 months or even beyond 6 months . Towards the later part of the season the weather usually stabilises with less wind , less precipitation and lower temperatures . This change is particularly pronounced near the coasts mainly because the Atlantic ocean is often at its coldest during this time after being cooled throughout the autumn and the winter . The early part of winter however is often unsettled and stormy ; often the wettest and windiest time of the year . Snow cover on The Saddle in the Scottish Highlands Snow falls intermittently and mainly affects northern and eastern areas , high ground in Wales and especially the mountains of Scotland , where there is often enough snow lying to permit skiing at some of the five Scottish ski resorts . These resorts usually operate between December and April , depending on the snowfall . Frequently in the mountains potent depressions may move in from the north in the form of ' polar lows ' , introducing heavy snow and often blizzard - like conditions to parts of the United Kingdom , particularly Scotland . Blizzards have become rarer in the 21st century , although much of England was affected by one on 30 January 2003 . During periods of light winds and high pressure frost and fog can become a problem and can pose a major hazard for drivers on the roads . Mean winter temperatures in the UK are most influenced by proximity to the sea . The coldest areas are the mountains of Wales and northern England , and inland areas of Scotland , averaging − 3.6 to 2.3 ° C ( 25.5 to 36.1 ° F ) . Coastal areas , particularly those in the south and west , experience the mildest winters , on average 5 to 8.7 ° C ( 41.0 to 47.7 ° F ) . Hardiness zones in the UK are high , ranging from zone 7 in the Scottish Highlands , the Pennines and Snowdonia , to zone 10 on the Isles of Scilly . Most of the UK lies in zones 8 or 9 . In zone 7 , the average lowest temperature each year is between − 17.7 and − 12.3 ° C ( 0.1 and 9.9 ° F ) , and in zone 10 , this figure is between − 1.1 and 4.4 ° C ( 30.0 and 39.9 ° F ) . Snow in the UK falls almost every year , but in small quantities . The UK can suffer extreme winters like 1684 , 1740 , 1795 ( when London received its record lowest temperature of − 21.1 ° C ( − 6.0 ° F ) ) , 1947 and 1963 . In 1963 it snowed on Boxing Day , and snow lasted in most areas until 6 March , with blizzards through February , which had significant and documented effects on the FA Cup - Wrexham were forced to play on sand for one tie . In modern times snow has generally become rarer , but the UK can still get heavy falls , such as in 1978 / 79 , 1981 / 82 , 1986 / 87 and 1990 / 91 . The winter of 2008 / 09 produced the heaviest snowfall since 1991 between 1 and 3 February , and the winter of 2009 - 10 was even more severe , with many parts of the United Kingdom experiencing the coldest and snowiest winters since 1978 / 79 ; temperatures plummeted to − 22.3 ° C ( − 8.1 ° F ) at Altnaharra , Sutherland -- close to the − 22.9 ° C ( − 9.2 ° F ) recorded at the southernmost part of the globe in the same period . The lowest temperature ever recorded in the UK was − 27.2 ° C ( − 17.0 ° F ) which was recorded on 10 January 1982 and 11 February 1895 in Braemar , Scotland and on 30 December 1995 in Altnaharra , Scotland . December 2010 was the coldest December in 120 years ; the CET ( Central England Temperature ) was - 0.7 ° C ; it was the coldest month since February 1986 , and the coldest December since 1890 . Many places had heavy snowfall and extreme cold , temperatures regularly fell below − 10.0 ° C ( 14.0 ° F ) ) across many areas . However , the cold subsided after Christmas Day , 2010 . November 2010 saw an extremely severe cold snap , with lows of − 18.0 ° C ( − 0.4 ° F ) ) in Llysdinam on 28 November . The month saw temperatures below average , despite what was actually a very mild first half . Spring 2013 was also notoriously cold : March 2013 was the coldest month of the winter ( and indeed 2013 as a whole ) , which is quite striking given that December 2012 , January and February 2013 were all also below average in terms of temperature . The following winter was the opposite - in many places , only on 11 and 12 January was any snow recorded ( some places having no snow at all ) , and the entire country was battered by a series of severe depressions and storms . The St Jude 's Day storm first affected the UK on 26 October 2013 , and many places saw no respite until a high swept across the country on 2 March 2014 . Parts of the Somerset levels remained under water for most of the winter and well into spring . Record - equalling gusts of 142 mph were recorded off the north coast of Scotland on 5 December 2013 , with notably severe storms also recorded on 2 November 2013 , 24 December 2013 , 3 January 2014 and 14 February 2014 . In the 1990s and 2000s , most of the winters were milder and usually wetter than average with daytime temperatures going below freezing a rare occurrence . In fact , the winter of 1995 / 1996 was the only one which was defined as below average in terms of the UK as a whole , although February 1991 saw heavy snowfall & January 1997 was cold in the South . The winters of 2008 / 09 , 2009 / 10 and 2010 / 11 have however seen a different pattern with these three winters being defined as below or well below average with large snowfall amounts widespread and very low temperatures ; this was the first time three consecutive cold winters in the UK have occurred since the 1960s . Since the winter of 2012 / 2013 , winters have been mild ( exceptionally so in 2013 / 2014 and 2015 / 2016 ) , although exceptionally wet . The winter of 2014 / 2015 was an oddity , in that it was generally quiet and sunny . December 2014 & January 2015 were a little milder than the average , February 2015 was close to normal . The winter of 2016 / 17 was very nearly a very cold winter owing to the presence and position of high pressure , although ultimately only November 2016 was cold widely as a whole . Early December 2016 was cool and January 2017 was cold in the south - east , with much of the rest of England and Wales near the 1961 - 1990 average . At Northolt , the average minimum for January 2017 was below freezing for the first time since December 2010 . December 2015 became the wettest calendar month ever recorded in the United Kingdom , with January 2016 becoming the second wettest . In these months , some northern and western parts had 2 to 4 times as much rainfall as normal . December 2015 was also the warmest December averaged over the whole UK , and had the highest positive anomaly for any month in the Central England temperature series which began in 1659 ( CET was 9.7 ° C , this is warmer than even any March ) . Most areas of southern England had average monthly temperatures 5 - 6 ° C above normal . Some plants flowered that would normally do so in the Spring or even Summer . Hardly any stations in Wales and Southern England recorded any air frosts and temperatures were often comparable to those of April or May . The maximum recorded temperature was 17.2 ° C at Teignmouth in Devon and Plockton and Achnagart in the highlands of Scotland on 16th . The lowest daily mean temperature during December 2015 at Heathrow Airport was still 8.2 ° C on 9 December , comparable to the average daily high for the calendar month . Remarkably , December 2015 did not break any national records for high temperatures , just failing to reach the maximum England temperature of 17.7 ° C recorded on 2 December 1985 in Chivenor , Devon and on 11 December 1994 in Penkridge , Staffordshire . Despite the warmth , it was the dullest December since 1989 . Sunshine and cloud ( edit ) A sunny spring day The average total annual sunshine in the United Kingdom is 1339.7 hours , which is just under 30 % of the maximum possible ( The maximum hours of sunshine possible in one year is approximately 4476 hours ) . Generally the United Kingdom sees frequent cloudy skies due to its high latitude and oceanic controlled climate . The lowest sunshine hours are found in northern parts of the country and the highest in the southern parts and southern coast of England . The counties of Dorset , Hampshire , Sussex and Kent are the sunniest areas , which have annual average totals of around 1,750 hours of sunshine per year . Northern , western and mountainous areas are generally the cloudiest areas of the UK , with some mountainous areas receiving fewer than 1,000 hours of sunshine a year . An overcast day in Plymouth , south - west England Valley areas such as the South Wales Valleys , due to their north - south orientation , receive less sunshine than lowland areas because the mountains on either side of the valley obscure the sun in the early morning and late evening . This is noticeable in winter where there are only a few hours of sunshine . The mountains of Wales , northern England and Scotland can be especially cloudy with extensive mist and fog . Near the coast , sea fog may develop in the spring and early summer . Radiation fog may develop over inland areas of Great Britain and can persist for hours or even days in the winter and can pose a major hazard for drivers and aircraft . On occasions blocking anticyclones ( high pressure systems ) may move over the United Kingdom , which can persist for weeks or even months . The subsided , dry air often results in clear skies and few clouds , bringing frosty nights in winter and warm days in the summer . Average hours of sunshine in winter range from 38 -- 108 hours in some mountainous areas and western Scotland , up to 217 hours in the south and east of England ; while average hours of sunshine in summer range from 294 -- 420 hours in northern Scotland and Northern Ireland , to 600 -- 760 hours in southern English coastal counties . The most sunshine recorded in one month was 383.9 hours at Eastbourne ( East Sussex ) in July 1911 . Atlantic ocean ( edit ) One of the greatest influences on the climate of the UK is the Atlantic Ocean and especially the Gulf Stream , which carries warm water up from lower latitudes and modifies the high latitude air masses that pass across the UK . This thermohaline circulation has a powerful moderating and warming effect on the country 's climate . This warm water current warms the climate to such a great extent that if the current did not exist then temperatures in winter would be about 10 ° C ( 18 ° F ) lower than they are today and similar to eastern Russia or Canada near the same latitude . The current allows England to have vineyards at the same latitude that Canada has polar bears . These warm ocean currents also bring substantial amounts of humidity which contributes to the notoriously wet climate that western parts of the UK experience . The extent of the Gulf Stream 's contribution to the actual temperature in western Europe is a matter of dispute . It has been argued that atmospheric waves that bring warm air northwards contribute to the warmer temperatures than thermohaline circulation . Winds ( edit ) Further information : List of atmospheric pressure records in Europe The high latitude and proximity to a large ocean to the west means that the United Kingdom experiences strong winds . The prevailing wind is from the south - west , but it may blow from any direction for sustained periods of time . Winds are strongest near westerly facing coasts and exposed headlands . Gales -- which are defined as winds with speeds of 51 to 101 km / h ( 32 to 63 mph ) -- are strongly associated with the passage of deep depressions across the country . The Hebrides experience on average 35 days of gale a year ( a day where there are gale - force winds ) while inland areas in England and Wales receive fewer than 5 days of gale a year . Areas of high elevation tend to have higher wind speeds than low elevations , and Great Dun Fell in Cumbria ( at 857 m or 2,812 ft ) averaged 114 days of gale a year during the period 1963 to 1976 . The highest gust recorded at a low level in England was 191 km / h ( 119 mph ) at Gwennap Head in Cornwall on 15 December 1979 , and a 115 mph gust was also recorded at Shoreham - By - Sea on 16 October 1987 . A disputed 122 mph gust was recorded on 16 October 1987 at Gorleston in Norfolk during the Great Storm of 1987 . In Scotland , Fraserburgh in Aberdeenshire recorded 229 km / h ( 142 mph ) on 13 February 1989 , which was equalled during Cyclone Xaver on 5 December 2013 . Wales ' highest wind speed gust of 200 km / h ( 124 mph ) was set at Rhoose , Vale of Glamorgan on 28 October 1989 . Especially potent storm systems typically affect the UK during autumn and winter , with the winters of 1989 / 1990 and 2013 / 2014 particularly notable for the frequency and potency of storm systems . An unofficial gust of 194 mph was recorded on the Shetland Isles during the New Year 's Day Storm on 1 January 1992 , and an equal unofficial 194 mph wind gust is claimed to have been set in the Cairngorm Mountains on 19 December 2008 . Barometric pressure plays a role in storm systems . For the United Kingdom , record figures for barometric pressure recordings are : Highest - 1053.6 mb ( Aberdeen , 31 January 1902 ) Lowest - 925.6 mb ( Ochtertyre , 26 January 1884 ) Notably a low pressure storm system affected the UK with a central pressure of 914.0 mb on 10 January 1993 , however this figure is not recorded over the UK but out in the Atlantic , despite the system affecting the UK . Rainfall ( edit ) Rainfall amounts can vary greatly across the United Kingdom and generally the further west and the higher the elevation , the greater the rainfall . The mountains of Wales , Scotland , the Pennines in Northern England and the moors of South West England are the wettest parts of the country , and in some of these places as much as 4,577 millimetres ( 180.2 in ) of rain can fall annually , making these locations some of the wettest in Europe . The wettest spot in the United Kingdom is Crib Goch , in Snowdonia , which has averaged 4,473 millimetres ( 176.1 in ) rain a year over the past 30 years . Most rainfall in the United Kingdom comes from North Atlantic depressions which roll into the country throughout the year from the west or southwest and are particularly frequent and intense in the autumn and winter . They can on occasions bring prolonged periods of heavy rain , and flooding is quite common . Parts of England are surprisingly dry , which is contrary to the stereotypical view -- London receives just below 650 millimetres ( 25.6 in ) per annum , which is less than Rome , Sydney , or New York City . In East Anglia it typically rains on about 113 days per year . Most of the south , south - east and East Anglia receive less than 700 millimetres ( 27.6 in ) of rain per year . The English counties of Essex , Cambridgeshire - as well as parts of North Yorkshire , the East Riding of Yorkshire , Suffolk and Norfolk - are amongst the driest in the UK , with an average annual rainfall of around 600 millimetres ( 23.6 in ) . This is due to a mild rainshadow effect , due to mountainous parts of the South West , Wales and Cumbria blocking the moist airflow across the country to the east . In some years rainfall totals in Essex and South Suffolk can be below 450 millimetres ( 17.7 in ) ( especially areas around Colchester , Clacton and Ipswich ) - less than the average annual rainfall in Jerusalem , Beirut and even some semi-arid parts of the world . Parts of the United Kingdom have had drought problems in recent years , particularly in 2004 - 2006 . Fires broke out in some areas , even across the normally damp higher ground of north - west England and Wales . The landscape in much of England and east Wales became very parched , even near the coast ; water restrictions were in place in some areas . July 2006 was the hottest month on record for the United Kingdom and much of Europe , however England has had warmer spells of 31 days which did not coincide with a calendar month -- in 1976 and 1995 . As well as low rainfall , drought problems were made worse by the fact that the driest parts of England also have the highest population density , and therefore highest water consumption . The drought problems ended in the period from October 2006 to January 2007 , which had well above average rainfall . December 2015 was the wettest month ever recorded in the United Kingdom . The average rainfall for the month was almost doubled . Temperature ( edit ) Generally the United Kingdom has cool to mild winters and warm summers with moderate variation in temperature throughout the year . In England the average annual temperature varies from 8.5 ° C ( 47.3 ° F ) in the north to 11 ° C ( 51.8 ° F ) in the south , but over the higher ground this can be several degrees lower . This small variation in temperature is to a large extent due to the moderating effect the Atlantic ocean has -- water has a much greater specific heat capacity than air and tends to heat and cool slowly throughout the year . This has a warming influence on coastal areas in winter and a cooling influence in summer . The ocean is at its coldest in February or early March , thus around coastal areas February is often the coldest month , but inland there is little to choose between February and January as the coldest . Temperatures tend to drop lowest on late winter nights inland , in the presence of high pressure , clear skies , light winds and when there is snow on the ground . On occasions , cold polar or continental air can be drawn in over the United Kingdom to bring very cold weather . The floors of inland valleys away from warming influence of the sea can be particularly cold as cold , dense air drains into them . A temperature of − 26.1 ° C ( − 15.0 ° F ) was recorded under such conditions at Edgmond in Shropshire on 10 January 1982 , the coldest temperature recorded in England and Wales . The following day the coldest maximum temperature in England , at − 11.3 ° C ( 11.7 ° F ) , was recorded at the same site . On average the warmest winter temperatures occur on the south and west coasts , however , warm temperatures occasionally occur due to a foehn wind warming up downwind after the crossing the mountains . Temperatures in these areas can rise to 15 ° C ( 59 ° F ) in winter on rare occasions This is a particularly notable event in northern Scotland , mainly Aberdeenshire , where these high temperatures can occur in midwinter when the sun only reaches about 10 ° above the horizon . July is on average the warmest month , and the highest temperatures tend to occur away from the Atlantic in southern , eastern and central England , where summer temperatures can rise above 30 ° C ( 86 ° F ) . It soared to 38.5 ° C ( 101.3 ° F ) in Faversham , Kent on 10 August 2003 : the highest temperature ever recorded in the United Kingdom . Absolute temperature ranges Country Maximum temperatures Minimum temperatures ° C ° F Location and date ° C ° F Location and date England 38.5 101.3 Faversham , Kent on 10 August 2003 − 26.1 − 15.0 Edgmond , near Newport , Shropshire on 10 January 1982 Wales 35.2 95.4 Hawarden Bridge , Flintshire on 2 August 1990 − 23.3 − 9.9 Rhayader , Radnorshire on 21 January 1940 Scotland 32.9 91.2 Greycrook , Scottish Borders on 9 August 2003 − 27.2 − 17.0 Braemar , Aberdeenshire on 11 February 1895 and 10 January 1982 Altnaharra , Sutherland on 30 December 1995 Northern Ireland 30.8 87.4 Knockarevan , near Belleek , County Fermanagh on 30 June 1976 Belfast on 12 July 1983 − 18.6 − 1.5 Castlederg , County Tyrone on 23 December 2010 Severe weather ( edit ) While the United Kingdom is not particularly noted for extreme weather , it does sometimes occur , and events such as floods and drought may be experienced . The summer of 1976 , for example , experienced temperatures as high as 35 ° C ( 95 ° F ) , and it was so dry the country suffered drought and water shortages . Extended periods of extreme weather , such as the droughts of 1975 -- 1976 , summer 2006 , and spring 2012 , the long hot summers of 1911 , 1976 , 2003 and 2006 , and the winters of 1946 -- 1947 , 1962 -- 1963 , 2009 -- 2010 , and 2010 -- 2011 are often caused by blocking anti-cyclones which can persist for several days , weeks , or even months . In winter they can bring long periods of cold dry weather and in summer long periods of hot dry weather . Hurricane Gordon 's path There have also been occurrences of severe flash floods caused by intense rainfall ; the most severe was the Lynmouth disaster of 1952 in which 34 people died and 38 houses and buildings were completely destroyed . In the summer of 2004 , a severe flash flood devastated the town of Boscastle in Cornwall . However , the worst floods in the United Kingdom in modern times occurred in the North Sea flood of 1953 . A powerful storm from the Atlantic moved around Scotland and down the east coast of England . As it moved south it produced a storm surge which was magnified as the North Sea became narrower further south . By the time the storm affected south - east England and the Netherlands , the surge had reached the height of 3.6 metres ( 12 ft ) . Over 300 people were killed by the floods in eastern England . Thunderstorms are most common in southern and eastern England , and least common in the north and west . In London , thunderstorms occur on average 14 -- 19 days a year , while in most of Northern Ireland and the west of Scotland thunderstorms occur on around 3 days a year . Occasionally , thunderstorms can be severe and produce large hailstones as seen in Ottery St Mary , Devon in October 2008 , where drifts reached 1.8 metres ( 5 ft 11 in ) . Strong winds occur mainly in the autumn and winter months associated with low pressure systems and Scotland experiences hurricane - force winds in most winters . The Gale of January 1976 , Great Storm of 1987 ( 23 fatalities ) and the Burns ' Day storm of 1990 ( 97 fatalities ) are particularly severe examples ; Scotland saw winds of 142 mph during Cyclone Xaver in 2013 . The most rain recorded to fall on a single day was 279 mm at Martinstown ( Dorset ) on 18 July 1955 , but also 243 mm fell at Bruton , Somerset on 28 June 1917 . Heavy rain also fell between 20 and 25 June in 2007 ; some areas experienced a month 's rainfall in one day . Four people died in the flooding and over £ 1.5 billion of damage to businesses and properties was caused . On 19 August 1993 , London Heathrow Airport recorded 257mm of rainfall . Tropical cyclones themselves do not affect the UK due to the seas being too cold -- they need temperatures above 26.5 ° C ( 79.7 ° F ) to remain active . The waters near the UK , the Atlantic Ocean , only have temperatures of 2 to 18 ° C ( 36 to 64 ° F ) , so any tropical cyclone that does come anywhere near the UK has said to have undergone a process called extratropical transition . This now means it is an extratropical cyclone , which the UK frequently experiences . The Great Storm of 1987 was a very deep depression which formed in the Bay of Biscay , which also contained the remnants of Hurricane Floyd . Hurricane Lili of 1996 and Hurricane Gordon of 2006 both crossed the UK as strong extratropical cyclones with tropical storm - force winds , causing transport closures , power - cuts and flooding in Northern Ireland , Scotland and South West England . In 2011 , the remnants of Hurricane Katia passed over northwestern Scotland with winds near 70 mph ( 110 km / h ) . Tornadoes ( edit ) It is internationally recognised that the United Kingdom has a higher incidence of tornadoes , measured by unit area of land , than any other country in the world . Dr T. Theodore Fujita ( inventor of the Fujita scale ) , an American meteorologist , was the first to recognise the UK as the top site for tornadoes in 1973 . The United Kingdom has at least 33 tornadoes per year , more than any other country in the world relative to its land area . Although most tornadoes are weak , there are occasional destructive events , for example , the Birmingham tornado of 2005 and the London tornado of 2006 . Both registered F2 on the Fujita scale and both caused significant damage and injury . The largest ever recorded was thought to have been an F4 , again in London in 1091 . The most deadly occurred on 28 December 1879 . All 74 lives were lost when a passenger train plunged from the Tay Bridge ( Tayside ) into the Tay Estuary , when the middle section of the bridge collapsed . Although the bridge was poorly constructed and had already been weakened in earlier gales ( including the pre-existing winds at the time of the tragedy ) , the ultimate failure is believed to have been caused by two or three waterspouts which were sighted close to the bridge immediately before the accident . A tornado also developed in London on 3 July 2007 . The UK also holds the title for the highest known ' outbreak ' of tornadoes outside of the United States . The largest tornado outbreak in Britain is also the largest tornado outbreak known anywhere in Europe . On 23 November 1981 , 105 tornadoes were spawned by a cold front in the space of 5.25 hours . Excepting Derbyshire , every county in a triangular area from Gwynedd to Humberside to Essex was hit by at least one tornado , while Norfolk was hit by at least 13 . Very fortunately most tornadoes were short - lived and also weak ( the strongest was around T5 on the TORRO Tornado Scale ) and no deaths occurred . Climate history ( edit ) The climate of the United Kingdom has not always been the way it is today . During some periods it was much warmer and in others it was much colder . The last glacial period was a period of extreme cold weather that lasted for tens of thousands of years and ended about 10,000 years ago . During this period the temperature was so low that much of the surrounding ocean froze and a great ice sheet extended over all of the United Kingdom except the south of England ( connected to mainland Europe via the dry English Channel ) and southern coastal areas of Wales . The cold period from the 16th to the mid-19th centuries is known as the Little Ice Age . The temperature records in England are continuous back to the mid 17th century . The Central England temperature ( CET ) record is the oldest in the world , and is a compound source of cross-correlated records from several locations in central England . Precipitation records date back to the eighteenth century and the modern England and Wales Precipitation series begins in 1766 . A detailed narrative account of the weather of every year from 1913 to 1942 , with photographs of plants taken on the same day in each of those years , may be found in Willis ( 1944 ) . As with many parts of the world , over the last century the United Kingdom has reported a warming trend in temperatures . While some of this may be due to a recovery from the cooler period of climate mid 20th century ( particularly the 1960s ) the last 20 years has nonetheless seen an unprecedented level of warm weather . This rise in temperatures is illustrated by the most recent dataset ( 1981 -- 2010 ) for Belfast and Cambridge Botanical Gardens , and the same data 50 years previous ( 1931 -- 1960 ) .

It has been suggested that the reading for this temperature should in fact have been 32 ° C. It is worth noting that the Met Office expected temperatures to surpass the August 2003 record during the July 2006 heatwave , and it is still speculated that both heatwaves did set higher temperatures than those officially recorded . Climate change ( edit ) Main article : Climate change in the United Kingdom Central estimates produced by the Met Office predict average annual temperature to increase by 2 ° C ( 4 ° F ) and the warmest summer day to increase by 3 ° C ( 6 ° F ) by the 2050s . Average winter rainfall is also likely to increase and most areas will see a slight decrease in annual rainfall . According to the Met Office , in the UK , the decade from 2000 - 2009 was the warmest since instrumental record dating started in 1850 .

They have been champions of England once , in 1919 -- 20 , and have been runners - up twice but they have had more success in the FA Cup , winning it five times . The first came in 1888 , the year the league was founded , and the most recent in 1968 , their last major trophy . They also won the Football League Cup at the first attempt in 1966 . The club 's longest consecutive period in the top division spanned twenty - four years between 1949 and 1973 , and from 1986 to 2002 they spent their longest ever spell out of the top division . They currently play in the Premier League . The team has played in navy blue and white stripes for most of the club 's history ; and the club badge features a throstle perched on a hawthorn branch . Albion have a number of long - standing rivalries with other West Midlands clubs ; their traditional rivals have always been Aston Villa and Wolverhampton Wanderers , the latter of whom they contest with in the Black Country derby .

Early years and glory ( 1878 -- 1950 ) ( edit ) The club was founded as West Bromwich Strollers in 1878 by workers from George Salter 's Spring Works in West Bromwich , in Staffordshire . They were renamed West Bromwich Albion in 1880 , becoming the first team to adopt the Albion suffix ; Albion was a district of West Bromwich where some of the players lived or worked , close to what is today Greets Green . The club joined the Birmingham & District Football Association in 1881 and became eligible for their first competition , the Birmingham Cup . They reached the quarter - finals , beating several longer - established clubs on the way . In 1883 , Albion won their first trophy , the Staffordshire Cup . Albion joined the Football Association in the same year ; this enabled them to enter the FA Cup for the first time in the 1883 -- 84 season . In 1885 the club turned professional , and in 1886 they reached the FA Cup final for the first time , losing 2 -- 0 to Blackburn Rovers in a replay . They reached the final again in 1887 , but lost 2 -- 0 to Aston Villa . In 1888 the team won the trophy for the first time , beating strong favourites Preston North End 2 -- 1 in the final . As FA Cup winners , they qualified to play in a Football World Championship game against Scottish Cup winners Renton , which ended in a 4 -- 1 defeat . The Albion team of 1888 , FA Cup winners and Football League founder members In March 1888 , William McGregor wrote to what he considered to be the top five English teams , including Albion , informing them of his intention to form an association of clubs that would play each other home and away each season . Thus when the Football League started later that year , Albion became one of the twelve founder members . Albion 's second FA Cup success came in 1892 , beating Aston Villa 3 -- 0 . They met Villa again in the 1895 final , but lost 1 -- 0 . The team suffered relegation to Division Two in 1900 -- 01 , their first season at The Hawthorns . They were promoted as champions the following season but relegated again in 1903 -- 04 . The club won the Division Two championship once more in 1910 -- 11 , and the following season reached another FA Cup Final , where they were defeated by Second Division Barnsley in a replay . Albion won the Football League title in 1919 -- 20 for the only time in their history following the end of World War I , their totals of 104 goals and 60 points both breaking the previous league records . The team finished as Division One runners - up in 1924 -- 25 , narrowly losing out to Huddersfield Town , but were relegated in 1926 -- 27 . In 1930 -- 31 , they won promotion as well as the FA Cup , beating Birmingham 2 -- 1 in the final . The `` Double '' of winning the FA Cup and promotion has not been achieved before or since . Albion reached the final again in 1935 , losing to Sheffield Wednesday , but were relegated three years later . They gained promotion in 1948 -- 49 , and there followed the club 's longest unbroken spell in the top flight of English football , a total of 24 years . Success and decline ( 1950 -- 1992 ) ( edit ) Memorabilia from the 1954 FA Cup Final In 1953 -- 54 , Albion came close to being the first team in the 20th century to win the League and Cup double . They succeeded in winning the FA Cup , beating Preston North End 3 -- 2 , but injuries and a loss of form towards the end of the season meant that they finished as runners - up to fierce rivals Wolverhampton Wanderers in the league . Nonetheless , Albion became known for their brand of fluent , attacking football , with the 1953 -- 54 side being hailed as the `` Team of the Century '' . One national newspaper went so far as to suggest that the team be chosen en masse to represent England at the 1954 FIFA World Cup finals . They remained one of the top English sides for the remainder of the decade , reaching the semi-final of the 1957 FA Cup and achieving three consecutive top five finishes in Division One between 1957 -- 58 and 1959 -- 60 . Although their league form was less impressive during the 1960s , the second half of the decade saw West Brom establish a reputation as a successful cup side . In 1966 , under manager Jimmy Hagan , they beat West Ham United in their first League Cup appearance , winning 5 -- 3 on aggregate in the last two - legged final . The following year they reached the final again , the first at Wembley , but lost 3 -- 2 to Third Division Queens Park Rangers after being 2 -- 0 up at half - time . Albion 's cup form continued under Hagan 's successor Alan Ashman . He guided the club to their last major trophy to date , the 1968 FA Cup , when they beat Everton in extra time thanks to a single goal from Jeff Astle . Albion reached the FA Cup semi-final and European Cup Winners Cup quarter - final in 1969 , and were defeated 2 -- 1 by Manchester City in the 1970 League Cup Final . The club were less successful during the reign of Don Howe , and were relegated to Division Two at the end of 1972 -- 73 , but gained promotion three years later under the guidance of player - manager Johnny Giles . Under Ron Atkinson , Albion reached the 1978 FA Cup semi-final but lost to Ipswich Town . In May of that year , Albion became the first English professional team to play in China , going unbeaten on their five - game trip . In 1978 -- 79 , the team finished third in Division One , their highest placing for over 20 years , and also reached the UEFA Cup quarter - final , where they were defeated by Red Star Belgrade . The team around this time was notable for simultaneously fielding three black players : Cyrille Regis , Laurie Cunningham and Brendon Batson ; and is considered to be an integral part of the acceptance of black footballers in the English leagues . In his second spell as manager , Ronnie Allen guided the team to both domestic cup semi-finals in 1981 -- 82 . The mid-1980s saw the start of Albion 's longest and deepest decline . They were relegated in 1985 -- 86 with the worst record in the club 's history , beginning a period of sixteen years outside the top flight . Five years later , the club were relegated to the Third Division for the first and only time . Crowd scenes following The Great Escape , 15 May 2005 Recent years and revival ( 1992 -- present ) ( edit ) Albion had spent the majority of their history in the top - flight of English football , but when the FA Premier League was founded in 1992 the club found themselves in the third tier , which had been renamed Division Two . In 1992 -- 93 , Albion finished fourth and entered the playoffs for the first time , having just missed out the previous year . Albion 's first appearance at Wembley for over 20 years -- and their last ever at the original stadium -- saw them beat Port Vale 3 -- 0 to return to the second level -- now renamed the First Division . Manager Ossie Ardiles then joined Tottenham Hotspur , however , and a succession of managers over the next few seasons saw Albion consolidate their Division One status without ever mounting a serious promotion challenge . Chart of historic table positions of West Brom in the Football League . The appointment of Gary Megson in March 2000 heralded an upturn in the club 's fortunes . Megson guided Albion to Division One safety in 1999 -- 2000 , and to the play - offs a year later . He went on to lead the club to promotion to the Premier League in 2001 -- 02 . After being relegated in their first Premier League season , they made an immediate return to the top flight in 2003 -- 04 . In 2004 -- 05 , Megson 's successor , former Albion midfielder Bryan Robson , led the team to a last - day `` Great Escape '' , when Albion became the first Premier League club to avoid relegation having been bottom of the table at Christmas . This feat was repeated by Sunderland in the 2013 -- 14 season and Leicester the following year , but West Brom remain the only team to also have been bottom during the final day of the season . Despite this success , they failed to avoid the drop the following season , and Robson was replaced by Tony Mowbray in October 2006 . The club competed in the Championship promotion playoff final at Wembley Stadium on 28 May 2007 , but lost 1 -- 0 to Derby County . The following season , Mowbray led the Baggies to Wembley again , this time in the semi-finals of the FA Cup , where they lost 1 -- 0 to Portsmouth . One month later , Albion were promoted to the Premier League as winners of the Championship , but were relegated at the end of the 2008 -- 09 campaign . Mowbray left the club to manage Celtic and was replaced by Roberto Di Matteo , who led the club back to the Premier League at the first attempt , but was dismissed in February 2011 and replaced by Roy Hodgson . May 2012 saw Roy Hodgson , having led West Brom to a tenth - place finish in his first season , leave to become the manager of the England national team . Steve Clarke then led Albion to an eighth - place finish in 2012 -- 13 , their highest in the Premier League , but was sacked halfway through the following season and replaced by Pepe Mel , who left by mutual consent at the end of the campaign . After the brief tenure of Alan Irvine , Tony Pulis was appointed head coach on 1 January 2015 . On 5 August 2016 , it was announced the club had been sold to a Chinese investment club headed up by Guochuan Lai , and John Williams replaced Peace as chairman . Colours and crest ( edit ) Albion 's strip from 1882 -- 83 was one of many variations worn by the club during the 1880s . Note that the actual kit had long sleeves . Albion 's most common away colours during the late 20th and early 21st century Colours ( edit ) West Brom have played in navy blue and white striped shirts for the majority of their existence , usually with white shorts and white socks . The team is occasionally referred to as the Stripes by supporters . A number of different colours were trialled during the club 's formative years however , including cardinal red and blue quarters in 1880 -- 81 , yellow and white quarters in 1881 -- 82 , chocolate and blue halves in 1881 -- 82 and 1882 -- 83 , red and white hoops in 1882 -- 83 , chocolate and white in 1883 -- 84 and cardinal red and blue halves in 1884 -- 85 . The blue and white stripes made their first appearance in the 1885 -- 86 season , although at that time they were of a lighter shade of blue ; the navy blue stripes did not appear until after the First World War . For the regional leagues played during the Second World War , Albion were forced to switch to all - blue shirts , as rationing meant that striped material was considered a luxury . Like all football clubs , Albion sport a secondary or `` change '' strip when playing away from home against a team whose colours clash with their own . As long ago as the 1890s , and throughout much of the club 's early history , a change strip of white jerseys with black shorts was worn . The away shirt additionally featured a large ' V ' during the First World War . In the 1935 FA Cup Final , however , when both of Albion and Sheffield Wednesday 's kits clashed , a switch was made to plain navy blue shirts . An all - red strip was adopted at the end of the 1950s , but was dropped following defeat in the 1967 League Cup Final , to be replaced by the all - white design that was worn during the club 's FA Cup run of 1967 -- 68 . Since then the away strip has changed regularly , with yellow and green stripes the most common of a number of different designs used . In the 1990s and 2000s a third kit has occasionally been introduced . Albion players -- along with those of other Football League teams -- first wore numbers on the back of their shirts in the abandoned season of 1939 -- 40 , and names on the back of their shirts from 1999 -- 2000 . Red numbers were added to the side of Albion players ' shorts in 1969 . Kit sponsors ( edit ) BSR Housewares became the club 's first shirt sponsor during the 1981 -- 82 season . The club 's shirts have been sponsored for the majority of the time since then , although there was no shirt sponsor at the end of the 1993 -- 94 season , after local solicitors Coucher & Shaw were closed down by the Law Society of England and Wales . Unusually for a Premier League club , Albion were again without a shirt sponsor for the start of the 2008 -- 09 campaign , as negotiations with a new sponsor were still ongoing when the season began . The longest - running shirt sponsorship deal agreed by the club ran for seven seasons between 1997 and 2004 with the West Bromwich Building Society . Other sponsors have included T - Mobile ( 2004 -- 08 ) , Homeserve ( 2010 -- 11 ) , Bodog ( 2011 -- 12 ) , Zoopla ( 2012 -- 14 ) , Intuit Quickbooks ( 2014 -- 15 ) , TLCBET ( 2015 -- 16 ) and K8 group ( 2016 -- 2017 ) . Since May 2011 , West Brom 's kit has been manufactured by Adidas , who are contracted until 2016 . Previous manufacturers have included Diadora ( 2003 -- 2006 ) and Umbro ( 2006 -- 11 ) . Badge ( edit ) West Bromwich Albion 's previous club badge , retired in 2006 The municipal coat of arms of West Bromwich has featured intermittently on Albion team shirts Albion 's main club badge dates back to the late 1880s , when club secretary Tom Smith suggested that a throstle ( song thrush ) sitting on a crossbar be adopted for the badge . Since then , the club badge has always featured a throstle , usually on a blue and white striped shield , although the crossbar was replaced with a hawthorn branch at some point after the club 's move to the Hawthorns . The throstle was chosen because the public house in which the team used to change kept a pet thrush in a cage . It also gave rise to Albion 's early nickname , the Throstles . As late as the 1930s , a caged throstle was placed beside the touchline during matches and it was said that it only used to sing if Albion were winning . In 1979 , an effigy of a throstle was erected above the half - time scoreboard of the Woodman corner at the Hawthorns , and was returned to the same area of the ground following redevelopment in the early 2000s . In 1975 , a version of the badge ( on a roundel rather than a shield ) was granted by the College of Arms to the Football League for licensing to the club . The badge was described in heraldic blazon as , `` On a roundel paly of thirteen argent and azure a missel thrush perched on a raspberry branch leaved and fructed proper . '' This is the only known occasion on which the branch has been described as a raspberry branch rather than a hawthorn branch : Rodney Dennys , the officer of arms responsible , may have been imperfectly briefed . The badge has been subject to various revisions through the years , meaning that the club was unable to register it as a trademark . As a result of this , the badge was re-designed in 2006 , incorporating the name of the club for the first time . The new badge gave Albion the legal protection they sought . The main club badge should be distinguished from the badge displayed on the first team strip , as the two have rarely coincided . No badge appeared on the kit for most of the club 's history , although the Stafford knot featured on the team jerseys for part of the 1880s . The West Bromwich town arms were worn on the players ' shirts for the 1931 , 1935 and 1954 FA Cup finals . The town 's Latin motto , `` Labor omnia vincit , '' translates as `` labour conquers all things '' or `` work conquers all '' . The town arms were revived as the shirt badge from 1994 until 2000 , with the throstle moved to the collar of the shirts . Albion 's first regular shirt badge appeared in the late 1960s and early 1970s where it was blue . Although it featured the throstle , it did not include the blue and white striped shield of the club badge . A similar design was also used during the late 1980s and early 1990s . In the mid-1970s , a more abstract version of the throstle was used on the club 's shirts , while in the late 1970s through to the mid-1980s , an embroidered WBA logo was displayed , a common abbreviation of the club 's name in print . Not until the early 21st century did the full club badge appear on the team 's shirts . Stadium ( edit ) Main articles : The Hawthorns , Stoney Lane , and West Bromwich Albion F.C. former grounds The Hawthorns , home of West Bromwich Albion F.C. The speed with which the club became established following its foundation is illustrated by the fact that it outgrew four successive grounds in its first seven years . The first was Cooper 's Hill , where they played from 1878 to 1879 . From 1879 to 1881 , they appear to have alternated between Cooper 's Hill and Dartmouth Park . During the 1881 -- 82 season , they played at Bunn 's Field , also known as the Birches . This had a capacity of between 1,500 and 2,000 , and was Albion 's first enclosed ground , allowing the club to charge an entrance fee for the first time . From 1882 to 1885 , as the popularity of football increased , Albion rented the Four Acres ground from the well - established West Bromwich Dartmouth Cricket Club . But they quickly outgrew this new home and soon needed to move again . From 1885 to 1900 , Albion played at Stoney Lane ; their tenure of this ground was arguably the most successful period in the club 's history , as they won the FA Cup twice and were runners - up three times . By 1900 , when the lease on Stoney Lane expired , the club needed a bigger ground yet again and so made its last move to date . All of Albion 's previous grounds had been close to the centre of West Bromwich , but on this occasion they took up a site on the town 's border with Handsworth and Smethwick . The new ground was named The Hawthorns , after the hawthorn bushes that covered the area and were cleared to make way for it . Albion drew 1 -- 1 with Derby County in the first match at the stadium , on 3 September 1900 . The record attendance at the Hawthorns was on 6 March 1937 , when 64,815 spectators saw Albion beat Arsenal 3 -- 1 in the FA Cup quarter - final . The Hawthorns became an all - seater stadium in the 1990s , in order to comply with the recommendations of the Taylor Report . Its capacity today is 26,850 , the four stands being known respectively as the Birmingham Road End , Smethwick End , East Stand and West Stand . At an altitude of 551 feet ( 168 m ) above sea level , the Hawthorns is the highest of all the 92 Premier League and Football League grounds . The Hawthorns is certificated under the highest UEFA pitch surfaces which means it is ready to host almost any competition if required . Its West Stand could be developed over the Halford 's Lane road at the back of the stand to allow an upper tier , approximately adding around 5,000 to the capacity of The Hawthorns . Other developments can include the filling in of The Millennium and East - Rainbow corners if and when required . West Bromwich Albion as a football club own many retail outlets around The Hawthorns stadium including its Megastore , its club store in Merry Hill and seasonally a club store for the first time in 2014 , in West Bromwich town centre . They also own the former Hawthorns Pub , a Grade II listed building behind the West Stand on the corner of Halford 's Lane and the Birmingham Road . This was opened against the home fixture against Southampton in September 2015 and serves as the official club fanzone with licensed bars , live music , fan favourites -- such as mascots and children activities -- as well as being shared with a high street food outlet . The pub is to compete with the famous The Vine pub in Roebuck Lane which a popular destination for all visiting and home football fans year - round . The Hawthorns , home of West Bromwich Albion F.C. Supporters ( edit ) `` The Lord 's my Shepherd , I 'll not want : He makes me down to lie In pastures green ; he leadeth me The quiet waters by . '' -- Lyrics to first verse of `` The Lord 's my Shepherd '' , from CCEL The official West Bromwich Albion Supporters Club was founded on 4 October 1951 . In the years since then , over 30 branches have been established throughout the United Kingdom and in Jersey , Ireland , Malta , India , Thailand and Australia . There is also a branch for fans with disabilities and a Punjabi supporters ' club named Apna Albion . Albion 's `` club anthem '' is The Lord 's my Shepherd , a setting of Psalm 23 . Supporters of the team celebrate goals by bouncing up and down and chanting `` Boing Boing '' . This dates back to the 1992 -- 93 season , when the team was promoted from the new Second Division . `` The Liquidator '' instrumental by the Harry J. Allstars has also been popularly used in the stadium since the late 1960s . In recent years fans of the team have celebrated the end of each season by adopting a fancy dress theme for the final away match , including dressing as vikings in 2004 in honour of Player of the Season Thomas Gaardsøe . In 2002 -- 03 Albion 's fans were voted the best in the Premier League by their peers , while in the BBC 's 2002 `` national intelligence test '' Test the Nation , they were found to be `` more likely to be smarter than any other football supporters , registering an average score of 138 '' . WBA supporters in a Teresa Herrera Trophy match against Deportivo de La Coruña . Famous fans include comedian Frank Skinner , TV presenter Adrian Chiles , One Direction singer Liam Payne , comedian Lenny Henry , actress Julie Walters , actor Matthew Marsden , The Rolling Stones guitarist Ronnie Wood , tennis player Goran Ivanišević , television presenter Cat Deeley , boxer Richie Woodhall and guitarist Eric Clapton . Publications ( edit ) The club has published an official matchday programme for supporters since 1905 . The publication was entitled Albion News for many years , but was renamed Albion from the 2002 -- 03 season until the close season of 2013 , when it was renamed back to Albion News . It won Premier League Programme of the Year in 2002 -- 03 and Third Division Programme of the Year in 1991 -- 92 . In 2007 -- 08 , it was awarded Championship Programme of the Year by both Programme Monthly and the Football Programme Directory . The programme has a circulation in excess of 8,000 copies . The first West Bromwich Albion fanzine , Fingerpost , was published from 1983 until 1992 , and was followed by several others , most notably Grorty Dick ( 1989 -- 2005 ) and Last Train to Rolfe Street ( 1992 -- 1995 ) . Since Grorty Dick ceased publication in 2005 , the club now only has one fanzine dedicated to it ; ' Baggie Shorts ' which is produced by the West Bromwich Albion Supporters ' Club London Branch . `` Baggies '' nickname ( edit ) Baggie Bird is one of two West Bromwich Albion mascots Although known in their early days as `` the Throstles '' , the club 's more popular nickname among supporters came to be the Baggies , a term which the club itself looked down upon for many years but later embraced . The phrase was first heard at the Hawthorns in the 1900s , but its exact origins are uncertain . One suggestion is that the name was bestowed on Albion supporters by their rivals at Aston Villa , because of the large baggy trousers that many Albion fans wore at work to protect themselves from molten iron in the factories and foundries of the Black Country . Club historian Tony Matthews however suggests that it derives from the `` bagmen '' , who carried the club 's matchday takings in big leather bags from the turnstiles to the cash office on the halfway line . Other theories relate to the baggy shorts worn by various players during the club 's early years . The official club mascots are named Baggie Bird and Albi ; both are based on the throstle depicted on the club crest . Rivalries ( edit ) Historically , Albion 's greatest rivals have always been Aston Villa from nearby Birmingham . The two clubs contested three FA Cup Finals between 1887 and 1895 ( Villa winning two and Albion one ) . More recently , however , most Albion fans have begun to see Wolverhampton Wanderers as their main rivals , particularly between 1989 and 2002 , when Albion and Villa were never in the same division but Albion were in the same division as Wolves for 11 out of 14 seasons . With Albion and Villa being in different divisions for so many years , however , the rivalry became less heated and Aston Villa supporters now consider Birmingham City as their main local rivals and not Albion despite geographical distance between the two clubs . A less - heated rivalry also exists with Birmingham City , with whom Albion contested the 1931 FA Cup final , as well as a semi-final in 1968 . A number of hooligan firms associate themselves with Albion , including Section 5 , Clubhouse and the Smethwick Mob . Black Country derby ( edit ) Main article : Black Country derby Albion and Wolves have contested the Black Country derby , it is one of the longest standing derbies in world football , being played more than 150 times ; their first major clash was an FA Cup tie in 1886 . The rivalry came to prominence when the two clubs contested the league title in 1953 -- 54 , and during the 1990s it intensified to new heights among supporters , with both clubs languishing in Division One for much of the decade and only local pride at stake . Moreover , in 2002 Albion came from being 11 points adrift to overhaul Wolves to gain promotion . The rivalry was further heightened after the sides met in the play - offs in 2007 . A 2004 survey by Planetfootball.com confirmed that the majority of both Albion and Wolves supporters consider the other to be their main rival . Despite their geographical location , fellow Black County club Walsall are seen as lesser rivals , having played in a lower division than Albion for most of their history . West Bromwich Albion -- Aston Villa rivalry ( edit ) Main article : Aston Villa F.C. -- West Bromwich Albion F.C. rivalry Ranked by The Daily Telegraph as the most fierce in the region behind the Black Country derby and the Second City derby , games between Aston Villa and West Brom are quite fierce . The two first met on 9 December 1882 , in the second round of the Staffordshire Cup : Villa hosted a 3 -- 3 draw in front of 13,900 fans , while in the replay West Brom won by a single goal with an attendance of 10,500 . On 3 January 1885 , they met for the first time in the third round of the FA Cup : a goalless draw at West Brom was followed by a 3 -- 0 victory for them away at Villa . The following year , both teams became founder members of the Football League . They met first in a league fixture on 19 January 1889 , Villa winning 2 -- 0 at home , and again the next week in a 3 -- 3 draw . The two teams met in two further FA Cup finals in the 19th century , a 3 -- 0 win for West Brom in 1892 and a 1 -- 0 win for Aston Villa in 1895 . Birmingham City were relegated from the Premier League in 2011 and Wolverhampton Wanderers a season later , leaving Aston Villa and West Brom as the only West Midlands teams in England 's top division and without their respective main rivals and with Albion finishing above their nearest rivals for the second season in a row , the historic rivalry is re-surfacing . At the end of the 2015 -- 16 season , Aston Villa were relegated , leaving West Brom the only West Midlands team in the top flight for the 2016 -- 17 season . In popular culture ( edit ) In the 2000s BBC television drama series New Tricks , the characters Jack Halford , Brian Lane and Gerry Standing were so named by the writer Roy Mitchell in honour of the Halford Lane standing area of Albion 's ground . The 1960s television documentary programme Look at Britain screened an episode called `` The Saturday Men '' focusing on the club Frank Skinner and Paula Wilcox starred in the comedy series Blue Heaven which followed the adventures of an Albion supporter in the 1990s and included scenes from the Hawthorns . Skinner is a real life Albion supporter . The testimonial match of Albion player Len Cantello was the subject of the BBC documentary Whites Vs Blacks : How Football Changed A Nation . Ownership and governance ( edit ) See also : List of English football club owners Billy Bassett , Albion 's chairman 1908 -- 1937 In the club 's formative years , West Bromwich Albion were run by a seven - man playing committee , and funded by each member contributing a weekly subscription of 6d ( six pence ) ( 21⁄2p ) . Albion 's first chairman was Henry Jackson , appointed in 1885 , with the club becoming a limited company in June 1891 . Other early chairmen of Albion included Jem Bayliss and Billy Bassett , both of whom had earlier played for the club . Indeed , from 1878 to 1986 there was always an Albion player or ex-player on the club 's committee or board of directors . Bassett became an Albion director in 1905 , following the resignation of the previous board in its entirety . The club was in deep financial trouble and had had a writ served upon them by their bank , but Bassett and returning chairman Harry Keys rescued the club , aided by local fund - raising activities . Bassett became chairman in 1908 , and helped the club to avoid bankruptcy once more in 1910 by paying the players ' summer wages from his own pocket . He remains Albion 's longest - serving chairman , having held the position until his death in 1937 . The club 's longest - serving director was Major H. Wilson Keys , during the period 1930 -- 1965 , including 15 years as chairman . He became the FA 's vice-president in 1969 . Sir Bert Millichip served as Albion chairman from 1974 to 1983 , after which he chose to concentrate on his role as chairman of the Football Association . In 1996 , the club became a public limited company , issuing shares to supporters at £ 500 and £ 3,000 each . The shares were quoted on the Alternative Investment Market , but the club withdrew from the stock exchange in order to become a private company again in 2004 . The name of the company thus reverted from West Bromwich Albion plc to West Bromwich Albion Limited , the latter becoming a subsidiary of West Bromwich Albion Holdings Limited . Jeremy Peace took up the post in 2002 , after a rift between previous chairman Paul Thompson and manager Gary Megson forced Thompson to quit the club . In September 2007 , Peace acquired additional shares in West Bromwich Albion Holdings Limited , taking his total stake in the company to 50.56 % . This triggered a requirement , under the Takeover Code , for him to make a mandatory cash offer for the remaining shares in both WBA Holdings Ltd and WBA Ltd . Later that year , Michelle Davies became Albion 's first female director . She , however , has since stepped down from this position . Jeremy Peace announced in June 2008 that he was looking for a major new investor for the club , but no firm proposals were received by 31 July deadline . On 24 July 2015 , Jeremy Peace announced that his sale exclusivity deal was now off after potential buyer was unable to fulfil terms of sale . In July 2016 , Peace announced that he had managed to find a buyer in the form of Chinese entrepreneur Guochuan Lai , the figure agreed upon is believed to have been £ 175 million . This take over was successfully completed ahead of schedule on 15 September the same year . Based on monthly figures for the year ending 30 June 2016 , the club had an average of 169 employees during that period .

As part of the club 's 125th anniversary celebrations in 2004 , a survey was commissioned via the official West Bromwich Albion website and the Express & Star newspaper to determine the greatest West Brom players of all time . A modern - day , 16 - man squad was compiled from the results ; all selected players are depicted on a commemorative mural displayed at the Hawthorns . Fourteen of the sixteen players are English - born , with a fifteenth , Cyrille Regis , being a full England international . The list of 16 is as follows : The Jeff Astle gates at the Hawthorns Name Nat .

In 1998 , Billy Bassett and Bryan Robson were named among the list of Football League 100 Legends , along with Arthur Rowley , Geoff Hurst and Johnny Giles . Bryan Robson was also an inaugural inductee into the English Football Hall of Fame in 2002 , to be joined two years later by Geoff Hurst . Bobby Robson , a player with Albion , has also been inducted , although this was for his achievements as a manager . In 1919 -- 20 , Fred Morris became the first Albion player to finish as top goalscorer in Division One , a feat which has since been repeated by Ronnie Allen , Derek Kevan , Jeff Astle and Tony Brown . Brown , who holds the club records for goals and appearances , was voted into the PFA Centenary Hall of Fame in July 2007 .

This is still the widest margin of victory for a game in the top - flight of English football , although the record was equalled by Nottingham Forest when they beat Leicester Fosse by the same scoreline in 1909 . Albion 's biggest FA Cup victory came when they beat Chatham 10 -- 1 on 2 March 1889 . The club 's record league defeat was a 3 -- 10 loss against Stoke City on 4 February 1937 , while a 0 -- 5 defeat to Leeds United on 18 February 1967 represents Albion 's heaviest FA Cup loss . Tony Brown holds a number of Albion 's club records . He has made the most appearances overall for the club ( 720 ) , as well as most appearances in the league ( 574 ) , FA Cup ( 54 ) and in European competition ( 17 ) . Brown is the club 's top scorer in the league ( 218 ) , the FA Cup ( 27 ) and in Europe ( 8 ) . He is also the club 's record scorer overall , with 279 goals . W.G. Richardson scored 328 goals for the club , but this includes 100 during World War II , which are not normally counted towards competitive totals . Richardson holds the club record for most league goals in a single season , scoring 39 times in 1935 -- 36 . Albion 's most capped international player , taking into account only those caps won while at the club , is Chris Brunt . He has appeared 38 times for Northern Ireland as a West Brom player , earning 48 caps in total . Jesse Pennington is the club 's most capped England international , with 25 caps . The highest transfer fee paid by the club is £ 12 million to Zenit Saint Petersburg for Salomón Rondón on 10 August 2015 ; the deal could rise to over £ 15 million with appearance fee and other add - ons . The record transfer from Albion to another club is that of Curtis Davies to Aston Villa in July 2008 for a fee of £ 8.5 million .

"The club was founded as West Bromwich Strollers in 1878 by workers from George Salter's Spring Works in West Bromwich, in Staffordshire.[A][2] They were renamed West Bromwich Albion in 1880, becoming the first team to adopt the Albion suffix; Albion was a district of West Bromwich where some of the players lived or worked, close to what is today Greets Green.[2] The club joined the Birmingham & District Football Association in 1881 and became eligible for their first competition, the Birmingham Cup. They reached the quarter-finals, beating several longer-established clubs on the way. In 1883, Albion won their first trophy, the Staffordshire Cup. Albion joined the Football Association in the same year; this enabled them to enter the FA Cup for the first time in the 1883–84 season.[3] In 1885 the club turned professional,[4] and in 1886 they reached the FA Cup final for the first time, losing 2–0 to Blackburn Rovers in a replay. They reached the final again in 1887, but lost 2–0 to Aston Villa. In 1888 the team won the trophy for the first time, beating strong favourites Preston North End 2–1 in the final.[5] As FA Cup winners, they qualified to play in a Football World Championship game against Scottish Cup winners Renton, which ended in a 4–1 defeat.[6]"

3857748571656126098 | Wookiee | Wookiee - wikipedia Wookiee Jump to : navigation , search For other uses of `` Wookiee '' , see Wookie ( disambiguation ) . Not to be confused with Ewok . Wookiee The Wookiee Chewbacca in Star Wars Episode IV : A New Hope ( 1977 ) Attributes Home world Kashyyyk Language Shyriiwook , Xaczik Distinctions Brown , white , or black fur Races Rwook Wookiees ( / ˈwʊkiːz / ) are a fictional species of intelligent bipeds from the planet Kashyyyk in the Star Wars universe . They are taller , stronger , and hairier than humans and most ( if not all ) other humanoid species . The most notable Wookiee is Chewbacca , the copilot of Han Solo , who first appeared in the 1977 film Star Wars Episode IV : A New Hope . Contents ( hide ) 1 Inspiration 2 Depiction 2.1 Physical characteristics 2.2 Behavior 2.3 Language 2.4 Weapons 2.5 Home world 3 Cultural references 4 References 5 External links Inspiration ( edit ) According to an interview with creator George Lucas , the inspiration for the Wookiee was Lucas ' dog , Indiana ( whose name is used in the Lucas - inspired Indiana Jones movies ) . `` He was the prototype for the Wookiee . He always sat beside me in the car . He was big , a big bear of a dog . '' During the climactic chase scene in THX 1138 , one of the robotic cops , voiced by actor Terry McGovern , improvises : `` I think I ran over a Wookiee back there '' , and thus the word was born . Wookey was the surname of a friend of Terry 's , Bill Wookey , and Terry thought it would be a funny in - joke to include his friend 's name in the soundtrack for THX - 1138 . In one episode of Animal Planet 's series Animal Icons , focusing on the creation of Star Wars figures , it was revealed that the Wookiees were also based on orangutans and lemurs , which are long - haired creatures that live in a warm forest climate . The net effect in terms of the Wookiees ' appearance is a marked resemblance to descriptions of the legendary Sasquatch of the Pacific Northwest . Depiction ( edit ) Physical characteristics ( edit ) Adult Wookiees are typically taller than most humans , averaging 2.1 meters ( 6 feet 11 inches ) . They possess enormous strength ; Solo states that a Wookiee can pull a man 's arms out of his sockets if angered or slighted , and in books and comics no humanoid species is shown to equal a Wookiee in pure strength . Wookiees have a keen sense of smell , are fully covered with a thick coat of hair , have good hand -- eye coordination , and are shown to be excellent marksmen . Wookiees have been shown in many diverse environments , such as those of Hoth , Tatooine and Endor , never wearing any protective clothing or showing any signs of discomfort . Wookiees have a lifespan of several hundred years . Behavior ( edit ) Wookiees are devoted , loyal friends and are very distrustful of strangers . Life debt is sacred to them . Despite a fearsome appearance and temperamental disposition , Wookiees are very intelligent and are very adept at handling advanced technology . Chewbacca is co-pilot of and performs maintenance on the Millennium Falcon , and also possesses a working knowledge of robotics , managing to haphazardly reassemble C - 3PO after he was destroyed by Imperial Stormtroopers in The Empire Strikes Back . Wookiees are fast learners ; Chewbacca commandeers an Imperial AT - ST during the Battle of Endor and is shown effectively maneuvering the machine and operating its weapons systems . Wookiees greatly value morality , courage , compassion and loyalty . A sacred and ancient Wookiee tradition is that of the honor family . An honor family comprises a Wookiee 's closest friends and companions . These family members pledge a commitment to lay down their lives for one another , as well as members of any honor families these individuals may have . Like the similarly sacred Wookiee life debt , Wookiees are willing to extend this tradition to members outside their species . Chewbacca considered Han Solo , Leia Organa Solo , their children , and Luke Skywalker part of his honor family . Wookiees have an understanding of Star Wars -- universe warfare and fought alongside Republic forces during the Clone Wars . Wookiees were betrayed and enslaved shortly after that conflict . Some Wookiees are sensitive to the Force . One such Wookiee is Lowbacca , Chewbacca 's nephew , from the book series Young Jedi Knights . Language ( edit ) The Wookiee language is Shyriiwook . Wookiees are capable of understanding Galactic Basic , but generally none are able to speak it because of the structure of Wookiee vocal cords . In the original Star Wars trilogy , it seems that Chewbacca can understand humans . His human partner , Han Solo , also shows knowledge of Shyriiwook , or can at least understand Chewbacca . In the Star Wars expanded universe novels , Chewbacca builds a miniature translator droid ( `` Em Teedee '' ) for his nephew Lowbacca when he later begins training as a Jedi , to facilitate communications with his fellow students . Weapons ( edit ) In the Star Wars films , Chewbacca carries a bowcaster , the traditional weapon developed and used by Wookiees . Bowcasters launch quarrels , which are crossbow bolts that through magnetic propulsion appear as elongated blaster bolts due to their velocity . The propulsion technique gives the quarrels extremely high stopping power . Chewbacca in particular is shown to be an excellent shot , killing a Stormtrooper who was attempting to escape on a speeder bike in `` Return of the Jedi '' . The spring that powers the bowcaster is extremely hard to pull back ; humans are generally incapable of cocking a bowcaster . Home world ( edit ) In Star Wars : Episode III -- Revenge of the Sith the Wookiees live in the lush forests and giant jungles on the planet of Kashyyyk , where they originated . They live in villages among the giant wroshyr trees . George Lucas has said that he originally planned Yavin IV , home of the rebel base in Star Wars Episode IV : A New Hope , to be the Wookiee home planet , but subsequent rewrites changed this to Kashyyyk instead , and it was ultimately shown on screen as the setting for a battle in Episode III . In the video game Star Wars : Knights of the Old Republic , Kashyyyk is one of the planets which may be traveled to . It shows the Wookiees ' homes in the treetops while the ground level is filled with deadly creatures and mysteries . Kashyyyk first appeared onscreen in Star Wars Holiday Special . Kashyyyk is a world enveloped in immense forests and beaches . Inland , the trees are so tall and dense that a layered ecosystem has evolved within its branches . The closer one gets to the forest floor , the more dangerous and primeval the environment becomes . Wookiees inhabit the upper levels of the forest , having built their massive cities within the interwoven canopy . The Wookiee city of Thikkiiana was one of the key manufacturers of sophisticated computer components in the New Republic . Cultural references ( edit ) `` Let the Wookiee win '' ( LTWW ) is an expression from A New Hope . ( The entire line is `` I suggest a new strategy : Let the Wookiee win '' ) It was said by C3PO to R2D2 when Chewbacca was upset over losing a chess - like game . It has been interpreted to mean : Let the person who cares more have his or her way , especially when you feel the issue is trivial . It can also be interpreted as advice to avoid arguments , especially when your motivation is to appear more intelligent than the other person involved . The expression , and the attitude depicted , has been criticized as sometimes justifying the enabling of an abuser .

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

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

"The film is set in 1937 rural Mississippi[4] during the Great Depression, and its story is a modern satire loosely based on Homer's epic poem The Odyssey that incorporates mythology from the American South. The title of the film is a reference to the 1941 film Sullivan's Travels, in which the protagonist is a director who wants to film O Brother, Where Art Thou?, a fictional book about the Great Depression.[5]"

'' ( ようこそ フェアリー ヒルズ ! ! ) April 15 , 2011 Lucy investigates a suspiciously rewardless job posting that requests a female recipient to come to Fairy Hills , Fairy Tail 's all - female dormitory . The client , dorm matron Hilda , asks Lucy to find a missing box on the property ; to Lucy 's indignation , Hilda forces her to wear a skimpy cat costume while doing so . After receiving a tour of the building from Erza , Lucy finds the box hidden in a tree in the backyard . When she explains Hilda 's request to Erza , however , Erza tells her that Hilda has been dead for six years . The box is revealed to contain jewels that Hilda , shortly before her death , promised Erza would receive from a `` cat princess '' ( Lucy ) once she became an adult . With Hilda 's unfinished business complete , the job request fades away , as does the cat costume , leaving Lucy nude in public . Meanwhile , the male guild members discover a periscope designed to spy on women in the guild 's swimming pool from underground . When they use it , they are horrified to see Makarov losing his bathing suit in the pool , causing them to unwittingly demolish the pool in a panic . `` Fairy Academy : Yankee - kun and Yankee - chan '' `` Yōsei Gakuen : Yankī - kun to Yankī - chan '' ( 妖精 学園 ヤンキー 君 と ヤンキー ちゃん ) June 17 , 2011 In an alternate setting , Lucy is a transfer student at Fairy Academy , where Fairy Tail 's members are depicted as high school students , and Happy and the celestial spirits serve as teachers and staff . Erza , the student council president , asks Lucy and fellow transfer student Wendy to help her prepare for a date with Siegrain . En route to her date , the three are harassed by Gajeel and the Element 4 from the rival Phantom Academy . Erza savagely beats up the Phantom students , aided by delinquents Natsu and Gray , but she is spotted and dumped by a terrified Siegrain . Later , Gajeel and his gang retaliate against Fairy Academy in a school war ; Erza , who is heartbroken over Siegrain , is unable to intervene when she sees the identical - looking Jellal and Mystogan . Afterwards , Erza cheers up and invites her friends to a karaoke bar . In response to the fight , school counselor Carla gathers the students to be lectured by their principal , Plue , who gives an unintelligible speech that only Carla and a chastened Natsu understand . `` Memory Days '' `` Memorī Deizu '' ( メモリー デイズ ) February 17 , 2012 While cleaning the guild 's storage , Natsu has a traumatic memory of an event in which he received the scar on his neck . This activates a magical book called Memory Days , which transports Natsu and his friends back six years in time to the day from Natsu 's memory . Ignoring Erza 's warnings to not interact with anything while she decodes the book for a way back to the present , Natsu and Gray go off exploring in disguises . While following them , Lucy stops a runaway carriage that carries her own younger self , who notices the emblem on her present self 's hand and becomes inspired to join the guild . Meanwhile , Natsu and Gray spot their younger selves fighting before getting into a brawl themselves . When the younger Natsu loses to Gray , he is attacked by his bruised and unrecognizable present self , who inadvertently causes his own childhood trauma as the younger Natsu scratches his own neck while trying to fight back . Upon discovering that only Natsu will return to the present , his friends race to reach him in time and successfully return with him , leaving the book behind in the past to be picked up and stored away by Makarov . `` Fairies ' Training Camp '' `` Yōsei - tachi no Gasshuku '' ( 妖精 たち の 合宿 ) November 16 , 2012 Mavis 's spirit leaves Sirius Island to visit Fairy Tail , watching as Natsu and his friends train for the Grand Magic Games .

Later , at the hot spring , Lucy tells the girls about how she first discovered Natsu and Happy 's house . In a flashback , Lucy plans to play a prank on Natsu and Happy by waiting in their room as revenge for the many times they have appeared uninvited in her own home . She is initially disgusted by the filthiness of their room , but notices that they have taken special care of various memorabilia they have collected from all of their missions with her . Touched , Lucy tidies up their room while she waits for them . When they do not return , she becomes forlorn and returns home , only to find the two have fallen asleep in her bedroom while waiting for her . In the present , after the boys are caught trying to peep on the girls , Mavis decides to lend the guild her support for the tournament . Movie OVA `` The First Morning '' `` Hajimari no Asa '' ( はじまり の 朝 ) February 15 , 2013 The priestess Éclair sews together a stuffed bird doll that is inadvertently brought to life by the magic from her mystical Phoenix Stone . The doll , Momon , attempts to befriend Éclair , but Éclair despises him for being a creation of magic , calling him `` Bird '' out of contempt . She brings Momon to a nearby village where she works as a fortune - teller by looking into others ' pasts and making up predictions . One of her customers is a young boy , Dist , who asks her in vain to revive his dead pet weasel . When told that he will also die someday , Dist tells Éclair his desire to live forever .

The two break into a destructive fight that is eventually broken up by Erza , the actual , unwitting target of Natsu 's mission . The casino is suddenly attacked by a giant slot machine mech piloted by the living staff Kurodoa , who has obtained a Dark Bring that creates soldiers from coins . While their friends battle the soldiers , Natsu and Haru team up and defeat Kurodoa , gaining each other 's respect .

Laxus beats Erza at rock - paper - scissors , and Team A is consequently forced to follow Team B 's demands for the day . After Team A searches a swamp for a magic stone to power Team B 's hot tub , each member is put through a different penalty : Laxus makes Natsu and Elfman run menial errands ; Juvia feeds Gray with ice and water from her body ; Mirajane engages in sadomasochistic play with Erza ; Gajeel uses Lucy as a backup dancer alongside Levy for a music routine ; and Panther Lily forces Happy and Carla to carry him around the city .

Although Mavis is pleased with the bath , she appears to remain upset about something . Warrod visits the bath house with a job request to find a box Mavis buried under a tree 100 years ago . Natsu and his friends accept in the hope of cheering her up with the box 's unknown contents . After uprooting every tree in Magnolia , the wizards find the box by digging up the underground tree Natsu 's house is built around . Mavis appears and explains she is not upset about the box ; rather , it is the hundred - year anniversary of her bidding farewell to her friend Zera . The wizards open the box to find a crude drawing of Mavis and the guild 's founders , which is framed in Natsu 's house , now perched atop the tall , unearthed tree . 9 `` Fairies ' Christmas '' `` Yōsei - tachi no Kurisumasu '' ( 妖精 たち の クリスマス ) December 16 , 2016 On Christmas Eve , the Fairy Tail wizards spend the day decorating Kardia Cathedral for the holiday .

Fed up with her bullying , Gray cheats and orders Erza to walk home while naked . To his dismay , she takes the challenge seriously and leaves upon stripping . She finally sobers upon running into Jellal in the streets and becomes ashamed of her behavior . Jellal kindly gives Erza his coat and escorts her home .

The Soviet Union , which hosted the 1980 Summer Olympics , and other countries would later boycott the 1984 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles . Contents ( hide ) 1 Background 1.1 Responses by country and continent 1.2 Athletes and sportspeople competing without national flags or anthems 2 Non-participating countries 3 Altered participation 3.1 Nations that did not participate in the Opening Ceremony 3.2 National teams represented at the Opening Ceremony by Chef de Mission 3.3 Nations under the Olympic Flag by their own athletes 3.4 Nations that competed under their respective NOC flag 4 Alternative events 5 See also 6 References Background ( edit ) Western governments first considered the idea of boycotting the Moscow Olympics in response to the situation in Afghanistan at the 20 December 1979 meeting of NATO representatives , a fortnight after the invasion of Afghanistan . At that moment , not many of the member governments were interested in the proposal . The idea began to gain popularity in early January when Russian dissident Andrei Sakharov called for a boycott . On 14 January 1980 , the Carter Administration joined Sakharov 's appeal and set a deadline by which the Soviet Union must pull out of Afghanistan or face the consequences , including an international boycott of the games . On 26 January 1980 , Canadian Prime Minister Joe Clark announced that Canada , like the US , would boycott the Olympic Games if Soviet forces did not leave Afghanistan by 20 February 1980 . When the deadline passed a month later without any change to the situation in Central Asia , Carter pushed U.S. allies to pull their Olympic teams from the upcoming games . In late January the Soviet regime prepared to face down this `` hostile campaign '' . As Central Committee documents show , in addition to its own propaganda efforts it was relying on the International Olympic Committee and its 89 member committees to behave as in the past ( e.g. after Soviet invasion of Hungary in 1956 and Czechoslovakia in 1968 ) , and not give in to pressure from national governments . It noted that the government and National Olympic Committee of France had already stated a willingness to participate . After its 24 April meeting , the head of the United States Olympic Committee ( USOC ) Robert Kane told the International Olympic Committee ( IOC ) that the USOC would be willing to send a team to Moscow if there were a `` spectacular change in the international situation '' in the coming weeks . In an attempt to save the Games Lord Killanin , then president of the IOC , arranged to meet and discuss the boycott with Jimmy Carter and Soviet General Secretary Leonid Brezhnev , before the new 24 May deadline . Killanin insisted that the Games should continue as scheduled , while President Carter reaffirmed the US position . viz. to boycott the Games unless the USSR withdrew from Afghanistan . Several interventions at the late April 1980 Bilderberg meeting in Aachen included discussion of the implications of the boycott . The world would perceive a boycott , it was argued , as little more than a sentimental protest , not a strategic act . An African representative at the Bilderberg meeting voiced a different view : whether there was additional support outside the US or not , he believed , a boycott would be an effective symbolic protest and be dramatically visible to those within the Soviet Union . The Carter administration brought considerable pressure to bear on other NATO Member - States to support the boycott . Their support was not universal . The International Olympics Federations protested that the pressures by the US and other supporting countries for the boycott was an inappropriate means to achieve a political end , and the victims of this action would be the athletes . German Chancellor Helmut Schmidt said that the American attitude that the allies `` should simply do as they are told '' was unacceptable , although West Germany did join the boycott . Responses by country and continent ( edit ) Boxer Muhammad Ali was dispatched by the US administration to Tanzania , Nigeria , and Senegal to convince their leaders to join the boycott . He also successfully convinced the Kenyan government to do that . Many countries ultimately joined the US in a full boycott of the Games . These included Japan and West Germany where Chancellor Schmidt was able to convince the National Olympic Committee ( NOC ) to support the boycott . China , the Philippines , Chile , Argentina and Canada also boycotted the Games entirely . Some of these countries competed at the alternative `` Liberty Bell Classic '' or Olympic Boycott Games held in Philadelphia that same year . The governments of the United Kingdom , France , and Australia supported the boycott , but left any final decision over the participation of their country 's athletes to their respective NOCs and the decision of their individual athletes . The United Kingdom and France sent a much smaller athletic delegation than would have originally been possible . The British associations that governed equestrian sports , hockey , and yachting completely boycotted the 1980 summer Olympics . Spain , Italy , Sweden , Iceland and Finland were other principal nations representing western Europe at the Games . All these countries participated under a neutral flag with the Olympic anthem played in any ceremony . Italian athletes serving in its military corps could not attend the Games , however , because of the national government 's official support of the boycott . Many events were affected by the loss of participants and some US - born athletes who were citizens of other countries , such as Italy and Australia , did compete in Moscow . A firm enemy of the United States under Ayatollah Khomeini 's new theocracy , Iran also boycotted the Moscow Games after Khomeini joined the condemnation by the United Nations and the Islamic Conference of the invasion of Afghanistan . Independently of the United States , the Islamic Conference urged a boycott of Moscow after the invasion ; the Ayatollah meanwhile accused Moscow of arming the Baluchis against his regime . Many teams were avoided by Soviet television at the Games during the opening and closing ceremonies because their national governments officially supported the boycott . Their national colors could not be flown nor could their anthems be played ( Australia , Andorra , Belgium , Denmark , France , United Kingdom , Ireland , Italy , Luxembourg , the Netherlands , Portugal , Puerto Rico , San Marino , Spain , and Switzerland ) . Athletes and sportspeople competing without national flags or anthems ( edit ) Lord Killanin permitted NOC - qualified athletes to compete at the Games without their national flags or anthems ( which allowed NOCs to send athletes in a non-national context ) but this did not allow other individuals lacking NOC sanction to participate in the Games as this was perceived by the IOC as a potential weakening of their authority . Four sportspeople ( including one athlete ) from New Zealand competed independently and marched under their NOC flag because the government officially supported the boycott . The athletes of 16 countries did not fly their national flags . Instead Olympic flags were raised and the Olympic Anthem replaced their national anthems at the medal ceremonies . There was one awards ceremony where three Olympic flags were raised . Other modifications were made in the Games activities , such as when the Boycott prevented Montreal Mayor Jean Drapeau from attending the Moscow Games . Sandra Henderson and Stéphane Préfontaine , the final torchbearers at the previous games , were sent in his stead to participate in the Antwerp Ceremony at the opening ceremony , and at the closing ceremony , the Los Angeles city flag ( rather than the United States flag ) was raised to symbolize the next host of the Olympic Games . The Antwerp flag was received by an IOC member from the USA instead of the mayor of Los Angeles , Tom Bradley ; there was no handover to Los Angeles ceremony at the closing .

( August 2016 ) Public holidays in the United States Public Federal Observance School Hallmark Observed by Federal government State governments Local governments Private and public sector employers Type National Independence Day fireworks Public holidays in the United States are largely controlled by private sector employers , who employ approximately 62 % of the total U.S. population who are given paid time off . A typical work week is generally 40 hours a week with a Saturday - Sunday weekend . Public holidays with paid time off is generally defined to occur on a day that is within the employee 's work week . When a holiday occurs on Saturday or Sunday , that holiday is shifted to either Friday or Monday . Most employers follow a holiday schedule similar to the federal holidays of the United States , with exceptions or additions . The federal holiday schedule mainly benefits employees of government and government regulated businesses . However , this sector only comprises 15 % of the working population . At the discretion of the employer , other non-federal holidays such as Christmas Eve and the Day after Thanksgiving are common additions to the list of paid holidays while Columbus Day and Veterans Day are common omissions . Besides paid holidays are festival and food holidays that also have wide acceptance based on sales of goods and services that are typically associated with that holiday . Halloween and Valentine 's Day are such examples of widely celebrated uncompensated holidays .

They were typically observed on days that have significance for various sectors of American society and are observed at all levels of society including government , the private sector , and are typically derived from the history , religion and the cultures of the U.S. demographics and have changed over time . Observances of holidays are most commonly observed with paid time off , however , many holiday celebrations are done with festivities without time off . Some are observed with community work depending on the meaning of the holiday . They are however not mandated by any government , agencies , whether it be federal , state , or local governments . There are no national holidays on which all businesses are closed by law . Federal holidays are only established for certain federally chartered and regulated businesses ( such as federal banks ) , and for Washington , D.C. All other public holidays are created by the States ; most states also allow local jurisdictions ( cities , villages , etc . ) to establish their own local holidays . As a result , holidays have not historically been governed at the federal level and federal law does not govern business opening . Some states restrict some business activities on some holidays . Business closures are mandated on some holidays in some states for certain kinds of businesses by Blue Laws . For example , some businesses can not open on Thanksgiving Day in some New England states if the businesses operated on more than 5000 square feet of space . The most notable businesses to close on such occasions are car dealerships and establishments selling alcohol . Overview ( edit ) As of 2012 , there were eleven federal holidays in the United States , ten annual holidays and one quadrennial holiday ( Inauguration Day ) . Pursuant to the Uniform Monday Holiday Act of 1968 ( effective 1971 ) , official holidays are observed on a Monday , except for New Year 's Day , Independence Day , Veterans Day , Thanksgiving , and Christmas . Saint Patrick 's Day parade in Atlanta , 2012 Cinco de Mayo dancers greeted by U.S. President George W. Bush While all current federal holidays have also been made public holidays in all 50 states for federal organizations , each state is not bound to observe the holidays on the same dates as the federal holidays . Many states also have additional holidays that are not observed by the U.S. federal government . Many businesses likewise observe certain holidays as well , which are also not mandated by any government agency . A list of `` recommended diversity holidays '' recognizes many cultures that range from Christianity to Islam , as well as racial diversity where various ethnic holidays such as St. Patrick 's Day , Kwanzaa , Diwali , Mardi Gras , and Cinco de Mayo are celebrated by individuals in the workplace , as a matter of best practice . In light of recent race issues in the United States , many municipalities both at the city and state levels have begun celebrating Malcolm X Day and Rosa Parks Day in addition to Martin Luther King , Jr . Day to embrace the mostly disenfranchised African American community in the form of festivals and parades if not done as a legal public holiday . Illinois and Berkeley , California are two places where Malcolm X is honored with a legal holiday with offices closed whereas Missouri honored Rosa Parks on her birthday . Today , the United States is the 85th most ethnically diverse country in the world . While the popularity of each public holiday can not easily be measured , the holiday with the highest greeting card sales is Christmas . Major retail establishments such as malls , shopping centers and most retail stores close only on Thanksgiving and Christmas and some on Easter Sunday as well , but remain open on all other holidays ( early closing on Christmas Eve and New Year 's Eve , and sometimes on other major holidays ) . Virtually all companies observe and close on the major holidays ( New Year 's Day , Memorial Day , Independence Day , Labor Day , Thanksgiving , and Christmas ) . Some non-retail business close on the day after Thanksgiving , while some ( such as federal banks and post offices ) are not allowed to close on the day after Thanksgiving . Some smaller businesses normally open on Sunday will close on Easter Sunday , if it is their experience they will have very few customers that day .

Holidays observed with paid time off ( edit ) The labor force in the United States comprises about 62 % ( as of 2014 ) of the general population . In the United States , 97 % of the private sector businesses determine what days this sector of the population gets paid time off , according to a study by the Society for Human Resource Management . The following holidays are observed by the majority of the U.S. businesses with paid time off : The 1979 Macy 's Thanksgiving Day Parade New Year 's Day and New Year 's Eve Memorial Day Independence Day Labor Day Thanksgiving and the day after Christmas Eve and Christmas Holiday listing as paid time off ( edit ) A barrel - shaped barbecue on a trailer at a block party in Kansas City . Pans on the top shelf hold hamburgers and hot dogs that were grilled earlier when the coals were hot . The lower grill is now being used to cook pork ribs and `` drunken chicken '' slow , typical on a worker 's paid holiday - see Barbecue in the United States . This list of holidays is based off the official list of Federal Holidays by Year from the U.S. Government . The holidays however are at the discretion of employers whose statistics are measured by the Bureau of Labor Statistics . Another list from the Society for Human Resource Management shows actual percentages of employers offering paid time off for each holiday . The term `` major holiday '' ( bolded ) coincides for those holidays that 90 % or more of employers offered paid time off .

Because of this , combined with the fact that President Lincoln 's birthday falls on February 12 , many people now refer to this holiday as `` Presidents ' Day '' and consider it a day honoring all American presidents . However , neither the Uniform Holidays Act nor any subsequent law changed the name of the holiday from Washington 's Birthday to Presidents ' Day .

November 11 ( fixed ) Veterans Day 43 % 16 -- 21 % Honors all veterans of the United States armed forces .

An academic year typically spans from early fall to early summer , with two or three months of summer vacation marking the end of year . K - 12 public schools generally observe local , state , and federal holidays , plus additional days off around Thanksgiving , the period from before Christmas until after New Year 's Day , a spring break ( usually a week in April ) and sometimes a winter break ( a week in February or March ) . Two or three days per year are sometimes devoted to professional development for teachers , and students have the day off . Most colleges and universities divide the school year into two semesters . The fall semester often begins the day after Labor Day in early September and runs until mid-December . The spring semester typically starts in the middle or end of January and runs until May . Winter and summer classes might be offered in January and May -- August . Major federal , state , and local holidays are often observed , including the day after and usually before Thanksgiving . Spring break is usually a week in March or early April , and in college party culture traditionally involves a warm - weather trip . Unscheduled weather - related cancellations and emergency cancellations can also affect school calendars . When taking summer school or summer camp schedules into account , the Independence Day holiday on July 4 is usually a scheduled holiday observance for which the summer program closes . Government sector holidays : federal , State , and local government ( edit ) Main article : Federal holidays in the United States The federal government sector labor force consisted of about 2,729,000 ( as of 2014 ) of the total labor force of 150,539,900 , which is roughly about 1.8 % of the total labor force or about 1.1 % of the total population . In addition , state and local governments consist of another 19,134,000 bringing the U.S. total government sector employees to about 15 % of the total labor force . This sector of the population is entitled to paid time off designated as Federal holidays by Congress in Title V of the United States Code ( 5 U.S.C. § 6103 ) . Both federal and state government employees generally observe the same federal holidays . Federally regulated agencies : banks and financial institutions ( edit ) U.S. banks generally observe the federal holidays because of their reliance on the U.S. Federal Reserve for certain activities such as wire transfers and Automated Clearing House ( ACH ) transactions . For example , JP Morgan Chase observes all federal holidays except Columbus Day , while U.S. Bank observes all of them . The New York Stock Exchange also closely follows the federal holidays except for Columbus Day . However , the agency also has extra holidays on the day before Independence Day and Good Friday .

-7375064911055578635 | The Mother (How I Met Your Mother) | The Mother ( How I Met Your Mother ) - wikipedia The Mother ( How I Met Your Mother ) Jump to : navigation , search Tracy McConnell How I Met Your Mother character The Mother appearing in `` The Locket '' First appearance `` Lucky Penny ( unseen ) '' `` Something New '' ( seen ) Last appearance `` Last Forever '' Created by Carter Bays Craig Thomas Portrayed by Cristin Milioti Information Aliases The Mother Gender Female Spouse ( s ) Ted Mosby Significant other ( s ) Max ( deceased former boyfriend ) Louis ( ex-boyfriend ) Children Penny Mosby ( daughter , born in 2015 , played by Lyndsy Fonseca ) Luke Mosby ( son , born in 2017 , played by David Henrie ) Nationality American Tracy McConnell , better known as `` The Mother '' , is the title character from the CBS television sitcom How I Met Your Mother . The show , narrated by Future Ted , tells the story of how Ted Mosby met The Mother . Tracy McConnell appears in 8 episodes from `` Lucky Penny '' to `` The Time Travelers '' as an unseen character ; she was first seen fully in `` Something New '' and was promoted to a main character in season 9 . The Mother is played by Cristin Milioti . The story of how Ted met The Mother is the framing device behind the series ; many facts about her are revealed throughout the series , including the fact that Ted once unwittingly owned her umbrella before accidentally leaving it behind in her apartment . Ted and The Mother meet at the Farhampton train station following Barney Stinson and Robin Scherbatsky 's wedding ; this scene is shown in `` Last Forever '' , the series finale . The Mother 's death from an unspecified terminal illness in 2024 , also revealed in the series finale , received a mixed reaction from fans . An alternate ending was released in the ninth season DVD . In the alternate ending , Tracy Mosby is still living when Ted is telling the story in 2030 . In the video , future Ted is heard saying , `` ... When I think how lucky I am to wake up next to your mom every morning , I ca n't help but be amazed how easy it all really was ... '' , indirectly stating that The Mother is alive . The video ends right after the train passes at Farhampton station and credits start rolling , implying that Ted never went back to Robin as he lived a successful married life with Tracy Mosby . Contents ( hide ) 1 Casting 2 Character history 2.1 Name 3 Death 4 Notes 5 References Casting ( edit ) During its first eight seasons , the successful sitcom How I Met Your Mother often hinted at the unseen character of The Mother . Well - known actresses often made guest appearances on the show . Many fans expected that another would play one of the most - wanted roles in Hollywood , but creators Carter Bays and Craig Thomas wanted an unknown . Using Anne Hathaway and Amy Adams as examples , Thomas said that `` We did n't want it to be a big famous star because we did n't want the wider audience to have associations with whatever actress this would be ... The whole idea is that Ted 's never seen this woman before , so it better feel that way to the audience '' , similar to how Cobie Smulders being cast as Robin Scherbatsky had `` kept the show alive '' when it began . Bays and Thomas also did not want a large casting call . They chose Cristin Milioti after seeing her on 30 Rock and Once ; her musical ability was also helpful , as The Mother had been described as a band member . After competing for the role against at least two others , Milioti filmed her first scene -- for the last episode of season 8 -- having never watched How I Met Your Mother ; she recalled , `` I had ignorance on my side . So I did n't know what it meant . '' Milioti learned of the character 's importance only after binge watching the show during the summer . Character history ( edit ) The Mother was born on September 19 , 1984 . The Mother , joined by her roommate Kelly awaits the arrival of her boyfriend Max only to receive a call informing her of his death . After the funeral service , she returns to the apartment to open Max 's last gift to her -- a ukulele . The Mother spends the next few years grieving the passing of the man she believes was her one true love . In `` Wait for It '' , it is revealed that the short story of how they met involved her yellow umbrella . In `` No Tomorrow '' , Ted finds the umbrella at a club and takes it home after attending a St. Patrick 's Day party which she also attended , as it had been two and a half years since the death of Max , her late boyfriend . She is still grieving , but her roommate Kelly encourages her to go out and date again , bringing her to the same bar where Ted and Barney are celebrating . The two women run into Mitch , her old orchestra instructor ; The Mother offers to give Mitch her cello for his work at a school and they head to her apartment . After they start talking , Mitch encourages her to pursue her dreams . The Mother expresses her desire to end poverty by taking up economics in college . On his first day of teaching as Professor Mosby , as seen in the season 4 finale `` The Leap '' , he is seen in front of the classroom of students , one of which Future Ted says is the titular mother . But in the first episode of season 5 , `` Definitions '' , it is revealed that he was actually in the wrong classroom -- Economics instead of Architecture . At the same time in `` How Your Mother Met Me '' , the Mother sits her first session in Economics 305 and meets another graduate student named Cindy ( Rachel Bilson ) , whom she offers to move in with her as her roommate . They see Ted enter the room , but when he announces the subject , The Mother thinks she is in the wrong room and runs off . She heads back to the room after seeing Ted scramble to his actual classroom . Later , in `` Girls Versus Suits '' , Ted dates Cindy , not knowing that her roommate is his future wife . Throughout the episode , Ted notes that Cindy had spent most of their first date talking jealously about her roommate . When in Cindy and the mother 's apartment he picks up many of The Mother 's belongings , attempting to show how compatible he and Cindy are ( thinking the items are Cindy 's ) and glimpses the mother 's foot as she disappears into her room after taking a shower . Ted finds out at this time that she plays bass guitar in a band . Ted forgets to take the yellow umbrella with him when he goes out and Future Ted mentions , `` this is how your mother got her yellow umbrella back . '' In `` How Your Mother Met Me '' , it is revealed that , after Ted left the apartment , the Mother had discovered the umbrella and , upon going to question Cindy , finds her in a state . As she tried to console her , Cindy said that she was a much better match for Ted , and began to lovingly list all of the reasons that Ted would find the mother attractive , before spontaneously kissing her , revealing that her jealousy towards her roommate was actually a crush . While this incident made Cindy realise that she is a lesbian , it also made the Mother decide to go back into dating , as the kiss was her first in a long time . Some time after this , a man named Darren approaches The Mother and is welcomed into her band named Superfreakonomics . Darren gradually takes over the band . In the season 6 opener `` Big Days '' it is revealed Ted meets his future wife `` the day of '' the wedding at which he is the best man . In the episode `` False Positive '' Robin asks Ted to be her future best man , should she ever get married . In the episode `` Challenge Accepted '' , it is revealed that Ted meets the mother of his children the day of Barney 's wedding . In the last episode of season 7 , `` The Magician 's Code '' it is shown that Barney will marry Robin , and Ted will meet the mother `` the day of '' their wedding . On the premiere of season 8 , Ted 's wife appears after Barney and Robin 's wedding , outside at the `` Farhampton '' station while holding a yellow umbrella and her bass guitar . In the season 8 episode `` Band or DJ ? , '' Ted runs into Cindy on the subway and tells her that the band Barney and Robin hired to play at their wedding cancelled at the last minute . The end result of the encounter is that Cindy 's ( now ex - ) roommate 's band plays at Barney and Robin 's wedding . The Mother is first shown meeting Louis in `` How Your Mother Met Me '' as she is left to carry the band equipment while the now - lead band member Darren talks to his fans . Later at MacLaren 's Pub , she tells him she 's not yet ready to date . Louis asks her to give him a call if she changes her mind and they begin dating not long after . The Mother meets all of Ted 's best friends ( Barney , Lily , Marshall and Robin ) before she meets him . The Mother is responsible for convincing Barney to pursue Robin , as revealed through a flashback in `` Platonish '' . In `` The Locket '' , Tracy meets Lily on a train journey . In `` Bass Player Wanted '' , the Mother picks up a hitchhiking Marshall , carrying his son Marvin , on her way to Farhampton Inn . On their way , it is revealed that the Mother is a bass player in the band , that is scheduled to play at the wedding reception . But the band 's leader , Darren , forced her to quit . The Mother ultimately decides to confront Darren and retake the band . She ends up alone at the bar , and while practicing a speech to give Darren , Darren walks up to her furious the groom 's best man punched him for `` no reason . '' Amused by this , the Mother laughs , and Darren quits the band in anger . In `` How Your Mother Met Me '' , it is shown that after this incident , the Mother returns to Louis ' summer cottage not far from the Farhampton Inn where she has been staying for the duration of the wedding weekend . As she walks in the door , Louis proposes to her , but she goes outside to think about it for a few minutes . She declines Louis ' proposal and leaves his cottage , going to check in at Farhampton Inn . On her room 's balcony , she plays the ukulele and sings `` La Vie en Rose '' . Ted hears her singing from his room next door . In `` Gary Blauman '' , Ted and the Mother are on their first date . Ted picks her up at her New York City apartment and they proceed to walk to a Scottish - Mexican fusion restaurant for dinner . On the way there , Ted is telling her a story when they nearly have a run - in with Louis . She says that she is in the `` weirdest place on earth '' right now and that it is too soon for her to be dating . Ted walks her back to her apartment . They say goodnight and Ted begins to walk away . The Mother then stops him and asks him to finish the story he was telling her . When the story is over , they say goodnight again . The Mother takes a step towards Ted and they kiss for the first time , before deciding to carry on their date . In a flashforward in `` The Lighthouse '' , Ted proposes to the Mother at the top of the lighthouse near Farhampton Inn . She immediately accepts . In another flashfoward in `` Unpause '' , the Mother is revealed to be pregnant with their second child , Luke , in the year 2017 . She goes into labor while she and Ted are staying at Farhampton . Name ( edit ) The Mother 's real name is not revealed until the series finale , `` Last Forever '' . When Ted meets her at the Farhampton train station , she reveals that her name is Tracy McConnell . In the season 1 episode `` Belly Full of Turkey '' , Ted meets a stripper named Tracy and says `` ... that , kids , is the true story of how I met your mother '' . The children react in surprise and appear to believe Ted before he admits he is joking , which led some fans to correctly guess that The Mother 's name is Tracy . Death ( edit ) See also : Last Forever In the series finale , it is revealed that six years prior to Ted telling the story to his children , Tracy died in 2024 from an undisclosed illness . In the finale the characters do not directly state that the mother is dead . Ted says that she `` became sick '' and his children saying that she has been `` gone '' for six years . Many fans expressed considerable disappointment to The Mother 's death . Milioti cried when she learned her character was supposed to die , but came to accept the ending was what the writers had planned from the beginning . Bill Kuchman from Popculturology said that The Mother was `` an amazing character '' and that `` over the course of this final season HIMYM made us care about Tracy . Kuchman said that `` asking fans to drop all of that with a simple line about The Mother getting sick and passing away was a very difficult request '' , that the finale `` advanced too quickly '' and that `` HIMYM was a victim of its own success on this issue '' . A petition was started , aiming to rewrite and reshoot the finale . The petition has over 20,000 signatures and considerable online news coverage . On April 5 , 2014 , Carter Bays announced on Twitter that an alternate ending would be included on the Season 9 DVD . No new material was shot for this scene . In the alternate ending , the mother is still living when Ted is telling the story in 2030 . Notes ( edit ) Jump up ^ The Mother celebrates her 21st birthday on the day that `` Pilot '' is set .

The top eight teams in each conference ( East and West ) , ranked in order by win - loss records , qualify for the playoffs . The tie - break criteria for playoff seeding and home - court advantage have also changed ; head - to - head results between the tied teams is the first tie - breaker , and whether a team won its division championship is the second tie - breaker . These seedings are used to create a bracket that determines the match - ups throughout the series . Once the playoffs start , the bracket is fixed ; teams are never `` reseeded '' , unlike in the National Football League ( NFL ) and Major League Soccer ( MLS ) where the strongest remaining teams face the weakest teams in subsequent rounds . The first round of the NBA playoffs , or conference quarterfinals , consists of four match - ups in each conference based on the seedings ( 1 -- 8 , 2 -- 7 , 3 -- 6 , and 4 -- 5 ) . The four winners advance to the second round , or conference semifinals , with a match - up between the 1 -- 8 and 4 -- 5 winners and a match - up between the 2 -- 7 and 3 -- 6 winners . The two winners advance to the third round , or conference finals . The winner from each conference will advance to the final round , or the NBA Finals . All rounds are best - of - seven series . Series are played in a 2 -- 2 -- 1 -- 1 -- 1 format , meaning the team with home - court advantage hosts games 1 , 2 , 5 , and 7 , while their opponent hosts games 3 , 4 , and 6 , with games 5 -- 7 being played if needed . This format has been used since 2014 , after NBA team owners unanimously voted to the change away from a 2 -- 3 -- 2 format on October 23 , 2013 .

On numerous occasions , Eastern Conference teams with losing records qualified for the playoffs , while Western Conference teams with winning records ended up missing them , including the 2011 , 2013 and the 2015 NBA Playoffs . History ( edit ) The National Basketball Association was established in 1949 by merger of the Basketball Association of America ( BAA ) and National Basketball League but it recognizes the three BAA seasons as part of its own history . In all of its three years the BAA champion was finally determined in a best - of - seven series but its first two tournaments , the 1947 and 1948 BAA Playoffs , were otherwise quite different from the third , which 21st - century NBA playoffs nearly match . In 1947 and 1948 , the Eastern and Western Division champions were matched in a best - of - seven series following the regular season , whose winner advanced to the championship round . Meanwhile , four runners - up played best - of - three series to determine the other finalist : the two second - place teams were matched in one short series and the two third - place teams in another ; the winners of those two series played another one . In 1947 the Philadelphia Warriors won the runners - up bracket and beat the Western champion Chicago Stags four games to one , which the NBA recognizes as its first championship ; in 1948 Baltimore won the runners - up and beat Eastern champion Philadelphia in the final . Both tournaments generated one finalist from the Eastern and one from the Western Division , but only by chance . In 1949 the third and last BAA tournament matched Eastern teams exclusively and Western teams exclusively , necessarily generating Eastern and Western playoff champions to meet in the final . At the same time , the number of playoff teams was increased from three to four from each Division ; two rounds of best - of - three series were played , followed by a best - of - seven championship . The main idea was retained by the NBA . Even the 1950 tournament , following a transitional season with three divisions rather than two , initially determined one playoff champion from each division . The Central champion Minneapolis Lakers became the first league champion under the NBA name by defeating Anderson from the West in a best - of - three , with Syracuse from the East idle , and then knocking off the Syracuse Nationals in six games . The 1951 through 1953 playoffs changed the division finals into a best - of - five playoff . With only nine league members in 1953 -- 54 , the NBA cut its postseason tournament field from eight teams to six ( from 1954 through 1966 , the period of eight to nine league members ) . Round robins were played in 1954 , uniquely in NBA history -- a three - team round robin among the three playoff teams in each division . From 1955 to 1966 , the first - place team in each division was idle while its two runners - up faced played a best - of - three . Division finals were expanded to best - of - seven in 1958 and division semifinals to best - of - five in 1961 . With ten league members again for the 1966 -- 67 season , eight teams were again admitted to the tournament , providing a simple three - round knockout ( 8 - team bracket ) . A year later , the division semifinals were changed to best - of - seven playoff . Then , in 1975 and 1977 , respectively , a fifth and sixth team were added to each Division , necessitating an additional first round of best - of - three series . Finally in 1984 , the tournament expanded to its present 16 - team , four - round knockout , and the now - complete set of first - round series were expanded to a best - of - five . In 2003 the first round was changed to also be best - of - seven . ( Thus all playoff teams from 2003 to present , same as the two Division champions in 1947 and 1948 , continue to play at the close of the regular season without idle team ( `` bye '' ) and may be certain of four playoff games including two at home . ) Beginning with the 2004 season , with the addition of the thirtieth NBA franchise , the Charlotte Bobcats , the NBA realigned its divisions . The result was that each conference would have three divisions of five teams each , and the winner of each division was guaranteed a top - three playoff seed . This would change slightly after the 2005 -- 06 season ; while division winners still receive automatic playoff berths , they are guaranteed a top - four seed , as described above . 2006 NBA playoffs controversy ( edit ) The previous playoff format , in place for the 2004 -- 05 and 2005 -- 06 NBA playoffs , after the NBA was re-aligned into six divisions , created controversy during the 2005 -- 06 season and playoffs , and would be changed prior to the 2006 -- 07 NBA season . Prior to 2005 , NBA division champions were seeded higher than the other teams in their conference , regardless of their record . Prior to 2004 , when the NBA was aligned into two conferences with two divisions each , the division champions were guaranteed the top two seeds . This meant that top two teams in a conference ( by record ) would be seeded either first and second ( if they were in opposite divisions ) or first and third ( if they were in the same division ) . Because of the NBA playoffs ' preset matchups in the second round , this meant that the top two teams in a conference could never meet until the conference finals , assuming they both made it to that round . After the NBA realigned its two conferences into three divisions each , the seeding rules remained largely unchanged . The top three seeds would now be reserved for division champions . However , this meant that if the top two teams ( by record ) in a conference were in the same division , they would be seeded first and fourth . Assuming no first - round upsets , this raised the prospect that the top two teams in the conference would face each other in the conference semifinals , instead of the conference finals . In the second year of this format , the 2005 -- 06 NBA season , the two teams with the best records in the Western Conference , the San Antonio Spurs and Dallas Mavericks of the Southwest Division , did just that . The Mavericks had the second - best record in the Western Conference and the third - best record in the entire league , behind the Detroit Pistons and San Antonio . However , they were seeded fourth because they finished second in the Southwest behind the Spurs . This turn of events led to the playoff format being criticized by many . Besides the prospect of a team losing earlier in the playoffs than its regular - season record or seeding would suggest , critics claimed that it also created an unfair advantage for teams in the 2 - 7 / 3 - 6 half of the Western Conference playoff bracket , who could advance to the conference finals without playing either of the two best teams in the conference in an earlier round . The Phoenix Suns , winners of the Pacific Division and possessors of the third best record , were seeded second , while the Denver Nuggets , winners of the Northwest Division and tied for only the seventh - best record in the conference , were seeded third . The Memphis Grizzlies and Los Angeles Clippers met in the second - to - last game of the regular season , after the top four seeds had been clinched . The two teams were already determined to be the fifth and sixth seeds , and had only to determine which rank higher . The fifth seed would likely need to defeat the best two teams in the conference without home - court advantage to advance to the conference finals , as it would face fourth - seeded Dallas in the first round and likely face first - seeded San Antonio if it managed to defeat Dallas . The sixth seed would play third - seeded Denver in the first round , but would have home - court advantage ( since the Grizzlies had the fourth - best record in the conference and the Clippers had the fifth - best ) , and would not have to face either San Antonio or Dallas until the conference finals at the earliest . This led to speculation about whether the Grizzlies or the Clippers would have much commitment to winning their match - up in the second - to - last game of the season , since it was clearly most advantageous to lose the game in order to obtain the 6th seed . The Clippers eventually lost to Memphis without much evidence to support the speculation that the Clippers had lost intentionally . In the first round of the playoffs , the Clippers defeated the Nuggets in five games , while Memphis was swept by Dallas . Ultimately , Dallas and San Antonio did meet in the second round , with Dallas winning in seven games and advancing all the way to the NBA finals . Timeline ( edit ) 1947 : The playoffs were instituted with a three - stage tournament , similar to the Stanley Cup playoffs of the 1930s ; the two first - place teams qualified directly to one semifinal where they played each other in a best - of - 7 series . Teams finishing second & third qualified for the best - of - 3 quarterfinals , where the two second - placed teams were paired in one quarterfinal , as were the two third - placed teams , and the two quarterfinal winners played each other in a best - of - three semifinal . The two semifinal winners played each other in the Basketball Association of America ( BAA ) best - of - 7 final series . Quarterfinals Best - of - 3 Semifinals Best - of - 3 ( one series ) Best - of - 7 ( one series ) BAA finals Best - of - 7 E3 W3 E3 E2 W2 E2 E2 W1 W1 E1 There were no byes , or idle time , for the division champions -- as there would be for higher - seeded playoff teams 1955 -- 66 and 1975 -- 83 . All six 1947 participants played their first tournament games on Wednesday , April 2 ; in 1948 the two Eastern runners - up ( E2 , E3 in the figure ) were idle for a few days only because there was a three - way Western tie to break . Both winners of the runners - up bracket , Philadelphia in 1947 and Baltimore in 1948 , reached the final series having played fewer tournament games than their final opponents , Chicago in 1947 and Philadelphia in 1948 , had played in the best - of - 7 pairings of division champions . And both winners of the runners - up bracket won the final series . The `` postseason '' actually comprised 11 games played in a span of 21 days for the 1947 Chicago Stags and 13 games in 30 days for 1948 Philadelphia Warriors , the finalists who emerged from the pairing of division champions . 1949 : The playoffs were reorganized to match Eastern Division teams exclusively , and Western Division teams exclusively -- in two halves of the bracket , so to speak . Thus the BAA tournament generated a playoff champion in each Division . ( So did the NBA in each of three 1950 divisions , and so it has done in each half of the league since then . ) The top four teams from each of the two divisions qualified . The quarterfinals and semifinals were renamed division semifinals and division finals , respectively , and both rounds were best - of - 3 . Thus any playoff team might be eliminated in two games , one home game . The best - of - 7 final was unchanged . Division semifinals Best - of - 3 Division finals Best - of - 3 BAA finals Best - of - 7 E1 E4 E1 Eastern Division E2 E2 E3 E1 W2 W1 W4 W1 Western Division W2 W2 W3 1950 : The BAA was renamed as the National Basketball Association ( NBA ) . With a three - division setup , 12 teams now qualified for the playoffs , with the top four teams from each division meeting in the best - of - 3 division semifinals . The winners met in the best - of - 3 division finals . With three teams remaining , the surviving team with the best regular season record qualified directly for the finals while the other two teams met in a best - of - 3 NBA semifinals . 1951 : With the NBA reverting to a two - division setup ; the division semifinals reverted to its original 1949 format with only eight teams qualifying . The division finals was extended to a best - of - 5 format . Division semifinals Best - of - 3 Division finals Best - of - 5 NBA finals Best - of - 7 E1 E4 E4 Eastern Division E2 E2 E3 E2 W3 W1 W4 W1 Western Division W3 W2 W3 1954 : With only nine league members ( soon to be eight ) , the number of playoff teams was cut down to six . The division semifinals was changed to a double round - robin format within the division , with the top three teams from each division qualifying ( each team played four games ) . Following the round - robin games , the top two teams qualified for the best - of - three division finals , followed by the best - of - seven finals . 1955 : The number of playoff teams remained at six , but the initial round - robin was dropped after one year in favor of giving the first - place team in each division a bye to the best - of - five division finals . Teams which placed second and third played a best - of - three division semifinal . In 1955 the byes provided five and six extra days idle for the first - place teams . 1958 : The division finals was extended to a best - of - seven format . 1961 : The division semifinals were extended to a best - of - five format . Division semifinals Best - of - 3 ( 1955 -- 1960 ) , Best - of - 5 ( 1961 -- 1966 ) Division finals Best - of - 5 ( 1955 -- 1957 ) , Best - of - 7 ( 1958 -- 1966 ) NBA finals Best - of - 7 E1 Eastern Division E3 E2 E3 E3 W1 W1 Western Division W2 W2 W3 The 1961 to 1966 tournaments alone combined initial byes for seeded teams with best - of - five initial series for unseeded teams . The 1961 byes provided five and seven extra days idle for the first - place teams . By 1966 the schedule provided more rest for the first - round participants with byes of 11 and eight extra days idle . 1967 : The number of playoff teams was expanded to eight once more . The division semifinals now included the fourth - best team in each conference . The first - placed teams no longer received a bye . They were matched against the fourth - placed teams in the best - of - 5 division semifinals . 1968 : The division semifinals was extended to a best - of - seven format . Division semifinals Best - of - 5 ( 1967 ) , Best - of - 7 ( 1968 -- 1970 ) Division finals Best - of - 7 ( 1968 -- 1970 ) NBA finals Best - of - 7 E1 E4 Eastern Division E2 E3 W1 W4 Western Division W2 W3 1970 : With an increased number of teams , the divisions were upgraded into conferences , which were then split into two divisions . Eight teams still qualified , four from each conference . The two division winners were guaranteed at least a # 2 seed , and the two best non-division winners from each conference qualified as third and fourth seeds . Hence , the division semifinals and division finals came to be known as conference semifinals and conference finals , respectively . Conference semifinals Best - of - 7 Conference finals Best - of - 7 NBA finals Best - of - 7 E1 * E4 Eastern Conference E2 * E3 W1 * W4 Western Conference W2 * W3 1975 : The number of playoff teams was expanded from eight to ten . A first round was introduced which matched the fourth and fifth seeds in each conference in a best - of - 3 first round series , while the top three seeds received a bye . This is similar to the system used in the NFL from 1978 to 1989 . First Round Best - of - 3 Conference semifinals Best - of - 7 Conference finals Best - of - 7 NBA finals Best - of - 7 E1 * E4 E4 E5 Eastern Conference E2 * E3 W1 * W4 W4 W5 Western Conference W2 * W3 1977 : The number of playoff teams was expanded from 10 to 12 . The first round now included the sixth best team in each conference , which was matched against the third seed . Only the division winners received byes to the next round . This is similar to the format currently used by the NFL . First Round Best - of - 3 Conference semifinals Best - of - 7 Conference finals Best - of - 7 NBA finals Best - of - 7 E1 * E4 E5 Eastern Conference E3 E6 E2 * W1 * W4 W5 Western Conference W3 W6 W2 * The 1983 tournament is the latest to incorporate first - round byes for seeded teams . The first - round best - of - three series tapped off on Tuesday and Wednesday , April 19 and 20 ; the second - round best - of - sevens on Sunday to the following Wednesday , April 27 . Counting from Tuesday the byes provided five to eight extra days idle . 1984 : The playoffs were expanded from 12 teams to 16 teams . All teams now participated in the first round , which was extended to a best - of - five series . Conference quarterfinals Best - of - 5 Conference semifinals Best - of - 7 Conference finals Best - of - 7 NBA finals Best - of - 7 E1 * E8 E4 E5 Eastern Conference E3 E6 E2 * E7 W1 * W8 W4 W5 Western Conference W3 W6 W2 * W7 2003 : The first round was extended to a best - of - seven series . This change arguably benefitted the higher seeds as it reduced the likelihood of an upset by a lower seed . It also meant that a team that swept their series 4 -- 0 might have to wait up to two weeks to play their next series against a team that had won 4 -- 3 . Conference quarterfinals Best - of - 7 Conference semifinals Best - of - 7 Conference finals Best - of - 7 NBA finals Best - of - 7 E1 * E8 E4 E5 Eastern Conference E3 E6 E2 * E7 W1 * W8 W4 W5 Western Conference W3 W6 W2 * W7 2005 : Each conference was realigned into three divisions with each division winner qualifying for a top - three seed regardless of record . The next best five teams from each conference also qualify for the playoffs . Conference quarterfinals Best - of - 7 Conference semifinals Best - of - 7 Conference finals Best - of - 7 NBA finals Best - of - 7 E1 * E8 E4 E5 Eastern Conference E3 * E6 E2 * E7 W1 * W8 W4 W5 Western Conference W3 * W6 W2 * W7 2007 : To address the criticisms of having each division champion guaranteed a top - three seed , regardless of record , the rules were changed such that the division winners are now only guaranteed a top - four seed . The team with the second - best record in the conference is now guaranteed the second seed , even if it finishes second in its own division . This ensures that the two best teams in the conference can not meet until the conference finals at the earliest . The previous system raised the prospect of the two best teams in the conference being seeded 1 and 4 if they play in the same division , thus forcing them to play each other in the second round ( given no upsets ) . Note : In the example below , the East 's # 2 seed is not a division champion . Conference quarterfinals Best - of - 7 Conference semifinals Best - of - 7 Conference finals Best - of - 7 NBA finals Best - of - 7 E1 * E8 E5 E4 * Eastern Conference E3 * E6 E2 E7 W1 * W8 W5 W4 Western Conference W3 * W6 W2 * W7 2016 : While the playoff bracketing did not change , qualification criteria were changed . The teams with the eight best records in each conference receive playoff berths , with no automatic berths nor guaranteed top - four seed placement for division champions . Team roster ( edit ) Playoff teams must identify their postseason roster before the playoffs begin . They are allowed up to 15 players and can designate two as inactive for each game . Players are eligible to be on a team 's playoff roster provided they were on the team for at least one regular season game , and were not on another NBA team 's roster after March 1 . Previously , playoff rosters were limited to 12 players who were named before the playoffs began . Records and statistics ( edit ) Only five 8th seeded teams have managed to win a series versus the number 1 seeded team : The Denver Nuggets eliminated the Seattle SuperSonics 3 -- 2 in 1994 . The New York Knicks eliminated the Miami Heat 3 -- 2 in 1999 . The Golden State Warriors defeated the Dallas Mavericks 4 -- 2 in the 2007 Western Conference First Round ( becoming the first 8 seed to beat a 1 seed in the best of 7 format ) . In 2011 , the Memphis Grizzlies beat the San Antonio Spurs , 4 -- 2 and in 2012 , the Philadelphia 76ers beat the Chicago Bulls 4 -- 2 . The 1999 Knicks are the only 8th seeded team ever to reach the NBA finals . No 8th seeded team has won the NBA finals yet . The 1956 -- 57 St. Louis Hawks , 1958 -- 59 Minneapolis Lakers and the 1980 -- 81 Houston Rockets are the only teams with losing records ( 34 - 38 , 33 -- 39 and 40 -- 42 , respectively ) to make it to the NBA finals . In 1981 the Houston Rockets ' opponent in the Western Conference Finals , the Kansas City Kings , also had a losing record ( 40 -- 42 ) . The 1994 -- 95 Houston Rockets , a sixth seed with a record of 47 -- 35 , were the lowest seeded team to win the NBA finals . In the NBA finals , the Rockets swept the Orlando Magic ( 57 -- 25 ) in four games . In doing so , the Rockets defeated four teams that had won 50 or more games during the regular season ( Utah Jazz at 60 -- 22 , Phoenix Suns at 59 -- 23 , San Antonio Spurs at 62 -- 20 and Orlando at 57 -- 25 ) , which had never been done before . They are also the only team to have won an NBA title without having home - court advantage at all . The Golden State Warriors own the longest NBA playoff winning streak for a single postseason with 15 straight wins in the 2017 playoffs . Of all the teams with multiple NBA finals appearances , the Chicago Bulls are the only team to have never lost in the finals , winning 6 . The Boston Celtics possess the most overall NBA finals series wins with an overall record of 17 -- 4 . The Los Angeles / Minneapolis Lakers have played in the most NBA finals series ( 31 ) with an overall record of 16 -- 15 . The longest playoff appearance streak currently belongs to the San Antonio Spurs with 20 consecutive appearances in the playoffs , beginning in the 1997 -- 98 NBA season. The longest ever streak of playoffs appearances in a row belongs to the Syracuse Nationals / Philadelphia 76ers , who made the playoffs 22 straight years from the 1949 -- 50 season to the 1970 -- 71 season , while the longest playoff appearance streak in one city belonged to the Portland Trail Blazers , who made it for 21 straight years , from the 1982 -- 83 to the 2002 -- 03 seasons . In 1999 , under the best of 5 - 7 - 7 - 7 system , the team with the best postseason record to win the NBA Championship was San Antonio Spurs with a record of 14 - 2 , having only lost one game each in round 1 and the Finals . It was surpassed by Los Angeles Lakers in 2001 , having only lost in Game 1 of the Finals against Philadelphia 76ers . In 2017 , under the best of 7 - 7 - 7 - 7 system , the Golden State Warriors attained the best record of 16 - 1 , losing only once to the Cleveland Cavaliers in the Finals . In 2017 , under the best of 7 - 7 - 7 - 7 system , the Golden State Warriors and the Cleveland Cavaliers came into the NBA Finals with a combined record of 24 - 1 , with the Cavaliers losing only once to the Boston Celtics in the Eastern Conference Finals .

It was the first and most severe manifestation of the Second Pandemic , caused by Yersinia pestis bacteria . The term `` Black Death '' was not used until the late 17th century . Originating in China , it spread west along the trade routes across Europe and arrived on the British Isles from the English province of Gascony . The plague seems to have been spread by flea - infected rats , as well as individuals who had been infected on the continent . Rats were the reservoir hosts of the Y. pestis bacteria and the Oriental rat flea was the primary vector . The first known case in England was a seaman who arrived at Weymouth , Dorset , from Gascony in June 1348 . By autumn , the plague had reached London , and by summer 1349 it covered the entire country , before dying down by December . Low estimates of mortality in the early twentieth century have been revised upwards due to re-examination of data and new information , and a figure of 40 -- 60 % of the population is widely accepted . The English government handled the crisis well , and the country did not experience the extreme reactions that were seen elsewhere in Europe . The most immediate consequence was a halt to the campaigns of the Hundred Years ' War . In the long term , the decrease in population caused a shortage of labour , with subsequent rise in wages , resisted by the landowners , which caused deep resentment among the lower classes . The Peasants ' Revolt of 1381 was largely a result of this resentment , and even though the rebellion was suppressed , in the long term serfdom was ended in England . The Black Death also affected artistic and cultural efforts , and may have helped advance the use of the vernacular . In 1361 -- 62 the plague returned to England , this time causing the death of around 20 % of the population . After this the plague continued to return intermittently throughout the 14th and 15th centuries , in local or national outbreaks . From this point on its effect became less severe , and one of the last outbreaks of the plague in England was the Great Plague of London in 1665 -- 66 .

It is impossible to establish with any certainty the exact number of inhabitants in England at the eve of the Black Death , and estimates range from 3 to 7 million . The number is probably in the higher end , and an estimate of around 6 million inhabitants seems likely . Earlier demographic crises − in particular the Great Famine of 1315 -- 1317 − had resulted in great numbers of deaths , but there is no evidence of any significant decrease in the population prior to 1348 . England was still a predominantly rural and agrarian society ; close to 90 % of the population lived on the countryside . Of the major cities , London was in a class of its own , with perhaps as many as 70,000 inhabitants . Further down the scale were Norwich , with around 12,000 people , and York with around 10,000 . The main export , and the source of the nation 's wealth , was wool . Until the middle of the century the export had consisted primarily of raw wool to cloth makers in Flanders . Gradually though , the technology for cloth making used on the Continent was appropriated by English manufacturers , who started an export of cloths around mid-century that would boom over the following decades . Politically , the kingdom was evolving into a major European power , through the youthful and energetic kingship of Edward III . In 1346 , the English had won a decisive battle over the Scots at the Battle of Neville 's Cross , and it seemed that Edward III would realise his grandfather Edward I 's ambition of bringing the Scots under the suzerainty of the English crown . The English were also experiencing military success on the continent . Less than two months before the Battle of Neville 's Cross , a numerically inferior English army led by the king himself won a spectacular victory over the French royal forces at the Battle of Crécy . The victory was immediately followed by Edward laying siege to the port city of Calais . When the city fell the next year , this provided the English with a strategically important enclave that would remain in their possession for over two centuries . The Black Death ( edit ) Main article : Black Death The migration of the Black Death across Europe The term `` Black Death '' -- which refers to the first and most serious outbreak of the Second Pandemic -- was not used by contemporaries , who preferred such names as the `` Great Pestilence '' or the `` Great Mortality '' . It was not until the seventeenth century that the term under which we know the outbreak today became common , probably derived from Scandinavian languages . It is generally agreed today that the disease in question was plague , caused by Yersinia pestis bacteria . These bacteria are carried by fleas , which can be transferred to humans through contact with rats . Flea bites carry the disease into the lymphatic system , through which it makes its way to the lymph nodes . Here the bacteria multiply and form swellings called buboes , from which the term bubonic plague is derived . After three or four days the bacteria enter the bloodstream , and infect organs such as the spleen and the lungs . The patient will then normally die after a few days . A different strain of the disease is pneumonic plague , where the bacteria become airborne and enter directly into the patient 's lungs . This strain is far more virulent , as it spreads directly from person to person . These types of infection probably both played a significant part in the Black Death , while a third strain was more rare . This is the septicaemic plague , where the flea bite carries the bacteria directly into the blood stream , and death occurs very rapidly . A study reported in 2011 of skeletons exhumed from the `` Black Death '' cemetery in East Smithfield London found Yersina Pestis DNA . An archeological dig in the vicinity of Thornton Abbey in Lincolnshire was reported in the science section of The Guardian for November 30 , 2016 not only confirming evidence of the Yersina Pestis DNA in the human remains exhumed there but also dated them to mid-1349 . Genotyping showed that it was ( at that time ) a newly evolved strain , ancestor of all modern strains and proved the `` Black Death '' was bubonic plague . Modern medical knowledge suggests that because it was a new strain human immune system would have had little or no defense against it , which helps to explain its virulence and high death rates . The `` Black Death '' seems to have originated in Central Asia , where Yersina Pestis bacterium is endemic in the rodent population . It is unknown exactly what caused the outbreak , but a series of natural occurrences likely brought humans into contact with the infected rodents . The epidemic reached Constantinople in the late spring of 1347 , through Genoese merchants trading in the Black Sea . From here it reached Sicily in October that same year , and by early 1348 it had spread all over the Italian mainland . It spread rapidly through France , and had reached as far north as Paris in June 1348 . Moving simultaneously westward , it arrived in the English province of Gascony around the same time . Progress of the plague ( edit ) In this year , in Melcombe , in the county of Dorset , a little before the Feast of St. John the Baptist , two ships , one of them from Bristol , came alongside . One of the sailors had brought with him from Gascony the seeds of the terrible pestilence and through him the men of the town of Melcombe were the first in England to be infected . Grey Friars ' Chronicle According to the chronicle of the grey friars at King 's Lynn , the plague arrived by ship from Gascony to Melcombe in Dorset -- today normally referred to as Weymouth -- shortly before `` the Feast of St. John The Baptist '' on 24 June 1348 . Other sources mention different points of arrival , including Bristol and Southampton . Though the plague might have arrived independently at Bristol at a later point , the Grey Friars ' Chronicle is considered the most authoritative account . If it is assumed that the chronicle reports the first outbreak of the plague , rather than its actual arrival , then the arrival most likely happened around 8 May . From Weymouth the disease spread rapidly across the south - west . The first major city to be struck was Bristol . London was reached in the autumn of 1348 , before most of the surrounding countryside . This had certainly happened by November , though according to some accounts as early as 29 September . Arrival in London happened by three principal roads : overland from Weymouth -- through Salisbury and Winchester -- overland from Gloucester , and along the coast by ship . The full effect of the plague was felt in the capital early the next year . Conditions in London were ideal for the plague : the streets were narrow and flowing with sewage , and houses were overcrowded and poorly ventilated . By March 1349 the disease was spreading in a haphazard way across all of southern England . During the first half of 1349 the Black Death spread northwards . A second front opened up when the plague arrived by ship at the Humber , wherefrom it spread both south and north . In May it reached York , and during the summer months of June , July and August , it ravaged the north . Certain northern counties , like Durham and Cumberland , had been the victim of violent incursions from the Scots , and were therefore left particularly vulnerable to the devastations of the plague . Pestilence is less virulent during the winter months , and spreads less rapidly . The Black Death in England had survived the winter of 1348 -- 49 , but during the following winter it gave in , and by December 1349 conditions were returning to relative normalcy . It had taken the disease approximately 500 days to traverse the entire country . Medical practice ( edit ) In order to treat patients infected with the plague , various methods were used including sweating , bloodletting , forced vomiting , and urinating . Several symptoms of the illness included blotches , hardening of the glands under the groin and underarms , and dementia . Within the initial phase of the disease , bloodletting was performed on the same side of where the physical manifestations of the buboes or risings appeared . For instance , if a rising appeared on the right side of the groin the physician would bleed a vein in the ankle on the same side . In the case of sweating , it was achieved with such medicines as Mithridate , Venice - Treacle , Matthiolus , Bezoar - Water , Serpentary Roots and Electuarium de Ovo . Sweating was used when measures were desperate ; if a patient had tokens , a severe version of risings , the physician would wrap the naked patient in a blanket drenched in cold water . This measure was only performed while the patient still had natural heat in his system . The desired effect was to make the patient sweat violently and thus purge all corruption from the blood which was caused by the disease . Another practice was the use of pigeons when treating swellings . Swellings which were white in appearance and deep were unlikely to break and must be anointed with Oil of Lillies or Camomil . Once the swelling rises to a head and is red in appearance and not deep in the flesh , it can be broken with the use of a feather from a young pigeon 's tail . The feather 's fundament was held to the swelling and would draw out the venom . However , if the swelling dropped and became black in appearance since it had taken in coldness , the physician had to be cautious when drawing the cold from the swelling . If it was too late to prevent , the physician would take the young pigeon , cut her open from breast to back , break her open and apply the pigeon ( while still alive ) over the cold swelling . The cupping therapy was an alternative method which was heated and then placed over the swellings . Once the sore was broken , the physician would apply Mellilot Plaister with Linimentum Arcei and heal the sore with digence . Victims ( edit ) Death toll ( edit ) Although historical records for England were more extensive than those of any other European country , it is still extremely difficult to establish the death toll with any degree of certainty . Difficulties involve uncertainty about the size of the total population , as described above , but also issues regarding the proportion of the population that died from the plague . Contemporary accounts are often grossly inflated , stating numbers as high as 90 % . Modern historians give estimates of death rates ranging from around 25 % to over 60 % of the total population . The pioneering work in the field was made by Josiah William Russell in his 1948 British Medieval Population . Russell looked at inquisitions post mortem ( IPMs ) -- taken by the crown to assess the wealth of the greatest landowners after their death -- to assess the mortality caused by the Black Death , and from this arrived at an estimate of 23.6 % of the entire population . He also looked at episcopal registers for the death toll among the clergy , where the result was between 30 -- 40 % . Russell believed the clergy was at particular risk of contagion , and eventually concluded with a low mortality level of only 20 % . Several of Russell 's assumptions have been challenged , and the tendency since has been to adjust the assessment upwards . Philip Ziegler , in 1969 , estimated the death rate to be at around one third of the population . Jeremy Goldberg , in 1996 , believed a number closer to 45 % would be more realistic . A 2004 study by Ole Jørgen Benedictow suggests the exceptionally high mortality level of 62.5 % . Assuming a population of 6 million , this estimate would correspond to 3,750,000 deaths . Such a high percentage would place England above the average that Benedictow estimates for Western Europe as a whole , of 60 % . A death rate at such a high level has not been universally accepted in the historical community . In 2016 , Carenza Lewis reported the results of a new method of assessing the death toll . She argues that pottery before and after the Black Death is datable because there was a change at that time from the high medieval to the late medieval style , and that counts of pottery of each type therefore provide a useful proxy for long term changes in population . She and her colleagues analysed pottery sherds from test pits in over fifty continuously occupied rural settlements in eastern England , and found a decline in the number of pottery producing pits of 45 % . Norfolk had the greatest drop of 65 % , while there was no drop in 10 % of settlements , mostly commercial centres . Impact of the Black Death : 1349 ( edit ) Archbishop Zouche of York issued a warning throughout the diocese in July 1348 ( when the epidemic was raging further south ) of ' great mortalities , pestilences and infections of the air ' . The ' Great Mortality ' , as it was then known , entered Yorkshire around February 1349 and quickly spread through the diocese . The clergy were on the front line of the disease , bringing comfort to the dying , hearing final confessions and organising burials . This , almost by necessity , put them at a greater risk of infection . Estimates suggest that the death rate of clergy in some parts of the archdiocese could have been as high as 48 % . This is reflected in the Ordination Register , which shows a massive rise in ordained clergy over the period -- some being recruited before the arrival of plague in a clerical recruitment drive , but many once plague had arrived , replacing those who had been killed . The nation 's population decreased by a third causing a labor shortage and giving the lower class negotiating power against their overlords . In 1346 , 111 priests and 337 acolytes were recruited . In 1349 , 299 priests and 683 acolytes are named , with 166 priests being ordained in one session alone in February 1350 . '' Social distribution ( edit ) Russell trusted the IPMs to give a true picture of the national average , because he assumed death rates to be relatively equal across the social spectrum . This assumption has later been proven wrong , and studies of peasant plague mortality from manor rolls have returned much higher rates . This could be a consequence of the elite 's ability to avoid infection by escaping plague - infected areas . It could also result from lower post-infection mortality among those more affluent , due to better access to care and nursing . If so , this would also mean that the mortality rates for the clergy -- who were normally better off than the general population -- were no higher than the average . ... destructive Death ( who seizes young and old alike , sparing no one and reducing rich and poor to the same level ) has lamentably snatched from both of us our dearest daughter , ( whom we loved best of all , as her virtues demanded ) . Edward III in a letter to King Alfonso of Castile The manorial records offer a good opportunity to study the geographical distribution of the plague . Its effect seems to have been about the same all over England , though a place like East Anglia , which had frequent contact with the Continent , was severely affected . On a local level , however , there were great variations . A study of the Bishop of Worcester 's estates reveal that , while his manors of Hartlebury and Hambury had a mortality of only 19 % , the manor of Aston lost as much as 80 % of its population . The manor rolls are less useful for studying the demographic distribution of the mortality , since the rolls only record the heads of households , normally an adult male . Here the IPMs show us that the most vulnerable to the disease were infants and the elderly . There seem to have been very few victims of the Black Death at higher levels of society . The only member of the royal family who can be said with any certainty to have died from the Black Death was in France at the time of her infection . Edward III 's daughter Joan was residing in Bordeaux on her way to marry Pedro of Castile in the summer of 1348 . When the plague broke out in her household she was moved to a small village nearby , but she could not avoid infection , and died there on 2 September . It is possible that the popular religious author Richard Rolle , who died on 30 September 1349 , was another victim of the Black Death . The English philosopher William of Ockham has been mentioned as a plague victim . This , however , is an impossibility . Ockham was living in Munich at the time of his death , on 10 April 1347 , two years before the Black Death reached that city . Consequences ( edit ) Economic , social and political effects ( edit ) Among the most immediate consequences of the Black Death in England was a shortage of farm labour , and a corresponding rise in wages . The medieval world - view was unable to interpret these changes in terms of socio - economic development , and it became common to blame degrading morals instead . The landowning classes saw the rise in wage levels as a sign of social upheaval and insubordination , and reacted with coercion . In 1349 , King Edward III passed the Ordinance of Labourers , fixing wages at pre-plague levels . The ordinance was reinforced by Parliament 's passing of the Statute of Labourers in 1351 . The labour laws were enforced with ruthless determination over the following decades . Peasants ' Revolt : rebel leader Wat Tyler is killed on the left , while the young Richard II pacifies the crowd on the right . These legislative measures proved largely inefficient at regulating the market , but the government 's repressive measures to enforce them caused public resentment . These conditions were contributing factors to the Peasants ' Revolt in 1381 . The revolt started in Kent and Essex in late May , and once the rebels reached London they burnt down John of Gaunt 's Savoy Palace , and killed both the Chancellor and the Treasurer . They then demanded the complete abolition of serfdom , and were not pacified until the young King Richard II personally intervened . The rebellion was eventually suppressed , but the social changes it promoted were already irreversible . By around 1400 serfdom was virtually extinct in England , replaced by the form of tenure called copyhold . It is conspicuous how well the English government handled the crisis of the mid-fourteenth century , without descending into chaos and total collapse in the manner of the Valois government of France . To a large extent this was the accomplishment of administrators such as Treasurer William de Shareshull and Chief Justice William Edington , whose highly competent leadership guided the governance of the nation through the crisis . The plague 's greatest effect on the government was probably in the field of war , where no major campaigns were launched in France until 1355 . Another notable consequence of the Black Death was the raising of the real wage of England ( due to the shortage of labour as a result of the reduction in population ) , a trait shared across Western Europe , which in general led to a real wage in 1450 that was unmatched in most countries until the 19th or 20th century . The higher wages for workers combined with sinking prices on grain products led to a problematic economic situation for the gentry . As a result , they started to show an increased interest for offices like justice of the peace , sheriff and member of parliament . The gentry took advantage of their new positions and a more systematic corruption than before spread . A result of this was that the gentry as a group became highly disliked by commoners . Religious and cultural consequences ( edit ) The omnipresence of death also inspired greater piety in the upper classes , which can be seen in the fact that three Cambridge colleges were founded during or shortly after the Black Death . England did not experience the same trend of roving bands of flagellants , common on the continent . Neither were there any pogroms against the Jews , since the Jews had been expelled by Edward I in 1290 . In the long run , however , the increase in public participation may have served to challenge the absolute authority of the church hierarchy , and thus possibly helped pave the way for the Protestant Reformation . The high rate of mortality among the clergy naturally led to a shortage of priests in many parts of the country . The clergy were seen to have an elevated status among ordinary people and this was partly due to their closeness with God , being his envoys on earth . However , as the church itself had given the cause of the Black Death to be the impropriety of the behaviour of men , the higher death rate among the clergy led the people to lose faith in the Church as an institution − it had proved as ineffectual against the horror of Y . Pestis as every other medieval institution . The corruption within the Catholic priesthood also angered the English people . Many priests abandoned the terrified people . Others sought benefits from the rich families who needed burials . The dissatisfaction led to anti-clericalism and the rise of John Wycliffe , an English priest . His ideas paved a path for the Christian reformation in England . Some people did n't lose their Christian faith , if anything it was renewed ; they began to long for a more personal relationship with God − around the time after the Black Death many chantries ( private chapels ) began to spread in use from not just the nobility , but to among the well to do . This change in the power of the papacy in England is demonstrated by the statutes of Praemunire . The Black Death also affected arts and culture significantly . It was inevitable that a catastrophe of such proportions would affect some of the greater building projects , as the amount of available labour fell sharply . The building of the cathedrals of Ely and Exeter was temporarily halted in the years immediately following the first outbreak of the plague . The shortage of labour also helped advance the transition from the Decorated style of building to the less elaborate Perpendicular style . The Black Death may also have promoted the use of vernacular English , as the number of teachers proficient in French dwindled . This , in turn , would have contributed to the late - fourteenth century flowering of English literature , represented by writers such as Geoffrey Chaucer and John Gower . Recurrences ( edit ) In his diaries , Samuel Pepys gave a vivid description of the Great Plague of London ; one of the last outbreaks of the Second Pandemic . The Black Death was the first occurrence of the Second Pandemic , which would continue to strike England and the rest of Europe more or less regularly until the eighteenth century . The first serious recurrence in England came in the years 1361 − 62 . We know less about the death rates caused by these later outbreaks , but this so - called pestis secunda may have had a mortality of around 20 % . This epidemic was also particularly devastating for the population 's ability to recover , since it disproportionately affected infants and young men . This was also the case with the next occurrence , in 1369 , where the death rate was around 10 − 15 % . Over the following decades the plague would return -- on a national or a regional level -- at intervals of five to twelve years , with gradually dwindling death tolls . Then , in the decades from 1430 to 1480 , the disease returned in force . An outbreak in 1471 took as much as 10 -- 15 % of the population , while the death rate of the plague of 1479 -- 80 could have been as high as 20 % . From this point on outbreaks became fewer and more manageable . This was to a large extent the result of conscious efforts by central and local governments -- from the late fifteenth century onwards -- to curtail the disease . By the seventeenth century the Second Pandemic was over . One of its last occurrences in England was the famous Great Plague of London in 1665 -- 66 .

"The first known case in England was a seaman who arrived at Weymouth, Dorset, from Gascony in June 1348.[1] By autumn, the plague had reached London, and by summer 1349 it covered the entire country, before dying down by December. Low estimates of mortality in the early twentieth century have been revised upwards due to re-examination of data and new information, and a figure of 40–60% of the population is widely accepted."

Please help improve this article by adding citations to reliable sources . Unsourced material may be challenged and removed . ( September 2012 ) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message ) The erosive effects of a king tide on the Gold Coast , Queensland `` King tide '' is a colloquial term for an especially high spring tide , such as a perigean spring tide . `` King tide '' is not a scientific term , nor is it used in a scientific context . Use of the term `` king tide '' originated in Australia , New Zealand and other Pacific nations to refer to an especially high tide that occurs only a few times per year . The term has now come to be used in North America as well , particularly in low - lying South Florida , where they cause sunny day tidal flooding . Definition ( edit ) King tides are simply the very highest tides . They are naturally occurring , predictable events . Tides are the movement of water across Earth 's surface caused by the combined effects of the gravitational forces exerted by the Moon , Sun , and the rotation of Earth which manifest in the local rise and fall of sea levels . Tides are driven by the relative positions of the Earth , Sun , Moon , land formations , and relative location on Earth . In the lunar month , the highest tides occur roughly every 14 days , at the new and full moons , when the gravitational pull of the Moon and the Sun are in alignment . These highest tides in the lunar cycle are called spring tides . The proximity of the Moon in relation to Earth and Earth in relation to the Sun also has an effect on tidal ranges . The Moon moves around Earth in an elliptic orbit that takes about 29 days to complete . The gravitational force is greatest when the Moon is at perigee -- closest to Earth -- and least when it is at apogee -- farthest from Earth -- about two weeks after perigee . The Moon has a larger effect on the tides than the Sun , but the Sun 's position also has an influence on the tides . Earth moves around the Sun in an elliptic orbit that takes a little over 365 days to complete . Its gravitational force is greatest when the Earth is at perihelion -- closest to the Sun in early January -- and least when the Earth is at aphelion -- farthest from the Sun in early July . The king tides occur when the Earth , Moon and Sun are aligned at perigee and perihelion , resulting in the largest tidal range seen over the course of a year . So , tides are enhanced when the Earth is closest to the Sun around January 2 of each year . They are reduced when it is furthest from the Sun , around July 2 . The predicted heights of a king tide can be further augmented by local weather patterns and ocean conditions .
