Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory
Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory - wikipedia Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory For the 2005 film adaptation , see Charlie and the Chocolate Factory ( film ) . For the book , see Charlie and the Chocolate Factory . Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory Theatrical release poster Directed by Mel Stuart Produced by Stan Margulies David L. Wolper Screenplay by Roald Dahl Based on Charlie and the Chocolate Factory by Roald Dahl Starring Gene Wilder Jack Albertson Peter Ostrum Roy Kinnear Julie Dawn Cole Leonard Stone Denise Nickerson Dodo Denney Paris Themmen Music by Leslie Bricusse Anthony Newley Walter Scharf Cinematography Arthur Ibbetson Edited by David Saxon Production company Wolper Pictures The Quaker Oats Company Distributed by Paramount Pictures Release date June 30 , 1971 ( 1971 - 06 - 30 ) ( United States ) Running time 99 minutes Country United States Language English Budget $3 million Box office $4 million Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory is a 1971 American musical fantasy film directed by Mel Stuart , and starring Gene Wilder as Willy Wonka . It is an adaptation of the 1964 novel Charlie and the Chocolate Factory by Roald Dahl . Dahl was credited with writing the film 's screenplay ; however , David Seltzer , who went uncredited in the film , was brought in to re-work the screenplay against Dahl 's wishes , making major changes to the ending and adding musical numbers . These changes and other decisions made by the director led Dahl to disown the film . The film tells the story of Charlie Bucket ( Peter Ostrum ) as he receives a Golden Ticket and visits Willy Wonka 's chocolate factory with four other children from around the world . Filming took place in Munich in 1970 , and the film was released by Paramount Pictures on June 30 , 1971 . With a budget of just $3 million , the film received generally positive reviews and earned $4 million by the end of its original run . The film became highly popular in part through repeated television airings and home entertainment sales . In 1972 , the film received an Academy Award nomination for Best Original Score , and Wilder was nominated for a Golden Globe as Best Actor in a Musical or Comedy , but lost both to Fiddler on the Roof . The film also introduced the song `` The Candy Man '' , which went on to become a popular hit when recorded by Sammy Davis Jr . In 2014 , the film was selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry by the Library of Congress as being `` culturally , historically , or aesthetically significant '' .

Walking home , he passes Willy Wonka 's chocolate factory . A mysterious tinker recites the first lines of William Allingham 's poem `` The Fairies '' , and tells Charlie , `` Nobody ever goes in , and nobody ever comes out . '' Charlie rushes home to his widowed mother and bedridden grandparents . After telling Grandpa Joe about the tinker , Joe reveals that Wonka locked the factory because other candy makers , including rival Arthur Slugworth , sent in spies to steal his recipes . Wonka disappeared , but after three years resumed selling candy ; the origin of Wonka 's labor force is unknown . The next day , Wonka announces that he hid five `` Golden Tickets '' in chocolate Wonka Bars . Finders of the tickets will receive a factory tour and a lifetime supply of chocolate . The first four tickets are found by the gluttonous Augustus Gloop , the spoiled Veruca Salt , the gum - chewing Violet Beauregarde , and the television - obsessed Mike Teevee . As each winner is announced on TV , a man whispers to them . Charlie opens two Wonka Bars but finds no Golden Ticket . The newspapers announce the fifth ticket was found by a millionaire in Paraguay causing Charlie to lose hope . The next day , Charlie finds money in a sewer and uses it to buy a Scrumdiddlyumptious bar . With the change , he buys another Wonka Bar for Joe . Walking home , as Charlie hears people reading the newspapers ; revealing that the Paraguayan millionaire 's ticket is a fake , he opens the Wonka Bar and finds the fifth golden ticket . While rushing home , he encounters the same man seen whispering to the other winners , who introduces himself as Slugworth and offers a reward for a sample of Wonka 's latest creation , the Everlasting Gobstopper . Returning home with the Golden Ticket , Charlie chooses Joe as his chaperone . The next day , Wonka greets the ticket winners and leads them inside where each signs a contract before the tour . The factory includes a river of chocolate , edible mushrooms , lickable wallpaper , and other sweets and inventions . As the visitors sample these , they see Wonka 's workers , small men known as Oompa - Loompas . Augustus falls into the chocolate river and is sucked up a pipe to the Fudge Room . In the Inventing Room , everyone receives an Everlasting Gobstopper . Violet becomes a large blueberry after chewing an experimental gum containing a three - course meal , over Wonka 's warnings . The group reaches the Fizzy Lifting Drinks Room , where Charlie and Joe ignore Wonka 's warning and sample the drinks . They float and have a near - fatal encounter with an exhaust fan before burping back to the ground . In the Chocolate Eggs Room , Veruca demands a golden goose for herself before falling into a garbage chute leading to the furnace , with her father falling in trying to rescue her . The group tests out Wonka 's Wonkavision , only for Mike to teleport himself and become a few inches tall . With Charlie and Joe remaining , Wonka says they are not getting anything because they violated the contract by stealing the Fizzy Lifting Drinks . Infuriated by this , Joe suggests to Charlie that he should give Slugworth the Gobstopper in revenge , but Charlie returns the candy back to Wonka . With this selfless act , Wonka declares Charlie as the winner . He reveals that Slugworth is actually Mr. Wilkinson , an employee of Wonka , and the offer to buy the Gobstopper was a morality test that only Charlie passed . The trio enter the `` Wonkavator '' , a multi-directional glass elevator that flies out of the factory . Soaring over the city , Wonka reveals that his actual prize is the factory ; Wonka created the contest to find an heir worthy enough , and so Charlie and his family can immediately move in . Wonka then reminds Charlie not to forget about the man who suddenly received everything he ever wanted . Charlie asks , `` What happened ? '' to which Wonka replies , `` He lived happily ever after . '' Cast ( edit ) The main cast . Back row ( left to right ) : Michael Bollner , Ursula Reit , Gene Wilder Front row ( left to right ) : Leonard Stone , Denise Nickerson , Roy Kinnear , Julie Dawn Cole , Dodo Denny , Paris Themmen , Peter Ostrum , Jack Albertson Main article : List of Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory characters Gene Wilder as Willy Wonka Jack Albertson as Grandpa Joe Peter Ostrum as Charlie Bucket Roy Kinnear as Henry Salt Julie Dawn Cole as Veruca Salt Leonard Stone as Sam Beauregarde Denise Nickerson as Violet Beauregarde Dodo Denney as Mrs. Teevee Paris Themmen as Mike Teevee Ursula Reit as Mrs. Gloop Michael Bollner as Augustus Gloop Diana Sowle as Mrs. Bucket Aubrey Woods as Bill , the Candy Shop owner David Battley as Mr. Turkentine Günter Meisner as Arthur Slugworth / Mr. Wilkinson Peter Capell as The Tinker Werner Heyking as Mr. Jopeck Peter Stuart as Winkelmann Oompa Loompas ( edit ) Rusty Goffe Rudy Borgstaller George Claydon Malcolm Dixon Ismed Hassan Norman McGlen Angelo Muscat Pepe Poupee Marcus Powell Albert Wilkinson Production ( edit ) Development ( edit ) The idea for adapting the book into a film came about when director Mel Stuart 's ten - year - old daughter read the book and asked her father to make a film out of it , with `` Uncle Dave '' ( producer David L. Wolper ) producing it . Stuart showed the book to Wolper , who happened to be in the midst of talks with the Quaker Oats Company regarding a vehicle to introduce a new candy bar from its Chicago - based Breaker Confections subsidiary ( since renamed the Willy Wonka Candy Company and sold to Nestlé ) . Wolper persuaded the company , which had no previous experience in the film industry , to buy the rights to the book and finance the picture for the purpose of promoting a new Quaker Oats Wonka Bar . It was agreed that the film would be a children 's musical , and that Dahl himself would write the screenplay . However , the title was changed to Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory . Screenwriter David Seltzer conceived a gimmick exclusively for the film that had Wonka quoting numerous literary sources , such as Arthur O'Shaughnessy 's Ode , Oscar Wilde 's The Importance of Being Earnest , Samuel Taylor Coleridge 's The Rime of the Ancient Mariner and William Shakespeare 's The Merchant of Venice . Seltzer also worked Slugworth ( only mentioned as a rival candy maker in the book ) into the plot as an actual character ( only to be revealed to be Wilkinson , one of Wonka 's agents , at the end of the film ) . Casting ( edit ) All six members of Monty Python : Graham Chapman , John Cleese , Eric Idle , Terry Gilliam , Terry Jones and Michael Palin , expressed interest in playing Wonka , but at the time they were deemed not big enough names for an international audience . Three of the members , Cleese , Idle and Palin , were later seriously considered for the same role in Tim Burton 's version . Before Wilder was officially cast for the role , producers considered Fred Astaire , Joel Grey , Ron Moody and Jon Pertwee . Spike Milligan was Roald Dahl 's original choice to play Willy Wonka . Peter Sellers even begged Dahl for the role . When Wilder was cast for the role , he accepted it on one condition : When I make my first entrance , I 'd like to come out of the door carrying a cane and then walk toward the crowd with a limp . After the crowd sees Willy Wonka is a cripple , they all whisper to themselves and then become deathly quiet . As I walk toward them , my cane sinks into one of the cobblestones I 'm walking on and stands straight up , by itself ; but I keep on walking , until I realize that I no longer have my cane . I start to fall forward , and just before I hit the ground , I do a beautiful forward somersault and bounce back up , to great applause . -- Gene Wilder The reason why Wilder wanted this in the film was that `` from that time on , no one will know if I 'm lying or telling the truth . '' Jean Stapleton turned down the role of Mrs. Teevee . Jim Backus was considered for the role of Sam Beauregarde . Sammy Davis , Jr. wanted to play Bill , the candy store owner , but Stuart did not like the idea because he felt that the presence of a big star in the candy store scene would break the reality . Nevertheless , Davis ' recording of the film 's opening musical number , `` The Candy Man , '' would top the Billboard magazine record charts in 1972 , despite the fact that Davis initially hated the song . Anthony Newley also wanted to play Bill , but Stuart also objected to this for the same reason . Filming ( edit ) Principal photography commenced on August 31 , 1970 , and ended on November 19 , 1970 . The primary shooting location was Munich , Bavaria , West Germany , because it was significantly cheaper than filming in the United States and the setting was conducive to Wonka 's factory ; Stuart also liked the ambiguity and unfamiliarity of the location . External shots of the factory were filmed at the gasworks of Stadtwerke München ( Emmy - Noether - Straße 10 ) ; the entrance and side buildings still exist . The exterior of Charlie Bucket 's house , which was only a set constructed for the film , was filmed at Quellenstraße in Munich , Bavaria . Charlie 's school was filmed at Katholisches Pfarramt St. Sylvester , Biedersteiner Straße 1 in Munich . Bill 's Candy Shop was filmed at Lilienstraße , Munich . The closing sequence when the Wonkavator is flying above the factory is footage of Nördlingen in Bavaria . Munich Gasworks as it appears today ( building on the left ) Munich Gasworks as it appears today Nördlingen , the town seen from above at the end of the film Production designer Harper Goff centered the factory on the massive Chocolate Room . According to Paris Themmen , who played Mike Teevee , `` The river was made of water with food coloring . At one point , they poured some cocoa powder into it to try to thicken it but it did n't really work . When asked this question , Michael Böllner , who played Augustus Gloop , answers , ' It vas dirty , stinking vater . ' '' When interviewed for the 30th anniversary special edition , Gene Wilder stated that he enjoyed working with most of the child actors , but said that he and the crew had some problems with Paris Themmen , claiming that he was `` a handful '' . Promotion ( edit ) Before its release , the film received advance publicity though TV commercials offering a `` Willy Wonka candy factory kit '' for sending $1.00 and two seals from boxes of Quaker cereals such as King Vitaman , Life and any of the Cap'n Crunch brands . Reception ( edit ) Willy Wonka was released on June 30 , 1971 . The film was not a big success , being the 53rd highest - grossing film of the year in the U.S. , earning just over $2.1 million on its opening weekend . It received positive reviews from critics such as Roger Ebert who gave the film a four out of four stars , while comparing it to The Wizard of Oz . Ebert said , `` All of this is preface to a simple statement : Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory is probably the best film of its sort since The Wizard of Oz . It is everything that family movies usually claim to be , but are n't : Delightful , funny , scary , exciting , and , most of all , a genuine work of imagination . `` Willy Wonka '' is such a surely and wonderfully spun fantasy that it works on all kinds of minds , and it is fascinating because , like all classic fantasy , it is fascinated with itself . '' By the mid-1980s , Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory had experienced a spike in popularity thanks in large part to repeated television broadcasts and home video sales . Following a 25th anniversary theatrical re-release in 1996 , it was released on DVD the next year , allowing it to reach a new generation of viewers . The film was released as a remastered special edition on DVD and VHS in 2001 to commemorate the film 's 30th anniversary . In 2003 , Entertainment Weekly ranked it 25th in the `` Top 50 Cult Movies '' of all time . Willy Wonka was ranked No. 74 on Bravo 's 100 Scariest Movie Moments for the `` scary tunnel '' scene . As of 2017 , the film holds a 91 % `` Fresh '' rating on Rotten Tomatoes with an average rating of 7.7 / 10 based on 42 reviews . The site 's critical consensus states : `` Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory is strange yet comforting , full of narrative detours that do n't always work but express the film 's uniqueness '' . Dahl 's reaction ( edit ) Dahl disowned the film , the script of which was partially rewritten by David Seltzer after Dahl failed to meet deadlines . Dahl said he was `` disappointed '' because `` he thought it placed too much emphasis on Willy Wonka and not enough on Charlie '' , as well as the casting of Gene Wilder instead of Spike Milligan . Dahl was also `` infuriated '' by the deviations in the plot Seltzer devised in his draft of the screenplay , including the conversion of Slugworth , a minor character in the book , into a spy ( so that the film could have a villain ) and the `` fizzy lifting drinks '' scene along with music other than the original Oompa Loompa compositions ( including `` Pure Imagination '' and `` The Candy Man '' ) , and the ending dialogue for the movie . In 1996 , Dahl 's second wife Felicity commented on her husband 's objections towards the film saying `` they always want to change a book 's storyline . What makes Hollywood think children want the endings changed for a film , when they accept it in a book ? '' Animated adaptation ( edit ) Main article : Tom and Jerry : Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory In 2017 , an animated adaptation of the film with Tom and Jerry was released . Tom and Jerry : Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory stars JP Karliak as Willy Wonka and is dedicated to Gene Wilder , who died less than a year before the release . Home media ( edit ) The film was first released on DVD in 1997 / 1999 in a `` 25th anniversary edition '' as a double sided disc containing a widescreen and `` standard '' version . The `` standard '' version is an open matte print , where the mattes used to make the image widescreen are removed , revealing information originally intended to be hidden from viewers . VHS and Betamax copies were also available , but only containing the `` standard '' version . A special edition DVD was released , celebrating the film 's 30th anniversary , on August 28 , 2001 , but in fullscreen only . Due to the lack of a letterboxed release , fan petitioning eventually led Warner Home Video to issue a widescreen version on November 13 , 2001 . It was also released on VHS , with only one of the special features ( a making - of feature ) . Several original cast members reunited to film documentary footage for this special edition DVD release . The two editions featured restored sound , and better picture quality . In addition to the documentary , the DVD included a trailer , a gallery , and audio commentary by the cast . In 2007 , Warner Home Video released the film on HD DVD with all the bonus features from the 2001 DVD . The film was released on Blu - ray on October 20 , 2009 . It includes all the bonus features from the 2001 DVD and 2007 HD - DVD as well as a 38 - page book . In 2011 , a new deluxe - 40th - anniversary edition Blu - ray / DVD set was released on November 1 , consisting of the film on Blu - ray Disc and DVD as well as a bonus features disc . The set also included a variety of rarities such as a Wonka Bar - designed tin , four scented pencils , a scented eraser , a book detailing the making of the film , original production papers and a Golden Ticket to win a trip to Los Angeles . The set is now out of print . Music ( edit ) The Academy Award - nominated original score and songs were composed by Leslie Bricusse and Anthony Newley , and musical direction was by Walter Scharf . The soundtrack was first released by Paramount Records in 1971 . On October 8 , 1996 , Hip - O Records ( in conjunction with MCA Records , which by then owned the Paramount catalog ) , released the soundtrack on CD as a `` 25th Anniversary Edition '' . In 2016 , UMe and Geffen Records released a 45th Anniversary Edition LP . The music and songs , in order of appearance , are : `` Main Title '' -- Instrumental medley of `` ( I 've Got A ) Golden Ticket '' and `` Pure Imagination '' `` The Candy Man '' -- Aubrey Woods `` Cheer Up , Charlie '' -- Diana Lee ( dubbing over Diana Sowle ) `` ( I 've Got A ) Golden Ticket '' -- Jack Albertson and Peter Ostrum `` Pure Imagination '' -- Gene Wilder `` Oompa Loompa ( Augustus ) '' -- The Oompa Loompas `` The Wondrous Boat Ride '' / `` The Rowing Song '' -- Gene Wilder `` Oompa Loompa ( Violet ) '' -- The Oompa Loompas `` I Want It Now !

List of Eurovision Song Contest winners
List of Eurovision Song contest winners - wikipedia List of Eurovision Song contest winners Jump to : navigation , search Left : Lys Assia , the first Eurovision winner ( 1956 ) , and Dima Bilan , winner in 2008 . Centre : Johnny Logan , the winning artist in 1980 , winning artist and composer in 1987 and the winning composer in 1992 . Right : Ell & Nikki celebrating Eurovision Song Contest 2011 victory in Düsseldorf . Sixty - six songs have won the Eurovision Song Contest , an annual competition organised by member countries of the European Broadcasting Union . The contest , which has been broadcast every year since its debut in 1956 , is one of the longest - running television programmes in the world . The contest 's winner has been determined using numerous voting techniques throughout its history ; centre to these have been the awarding of points to countries by juries or televoters . The country awarded the most points is declared the winner . The first Eurovision Song Contest was not won on points , but by votes ( two per country ) , and only the winner was announced . There have been 63 contests , with one winner each year except the tied 1969 contest , which had four . Twenty - seven different countries have won the contest . Switzerland won the first contest in 1956 . The country with the highest number of wins is Ireland , with seven . The only person to have won more than once as performer is Ireland 's Johnny Logan , who performed `` What 's Another Year '' in 1980 and `` Hold Me Now '' in 1987 . Logan is also one of only five songwriters to have written more than one winning entry ( `` Hold Me Now '' 1987 and `` Why Me ? '' 1992 , performed by Linda Martin ) . This unique distinction makes Logan the only person to have three Eurovision victories to his / her credit , as either singer , songwriter or both . The other four songwriters with more than one winning entry to their credit are , Willy van Hemert ( Netherlands , 1957 and 1959 ) , Yves Dessca ( Monaco , 1971 and Luxembourg , 1972 ) , Rolf Løvland ( Norway , 1985 and 1995 ) and Brendan Graham ( Ireland , 1994 and 1996 ) . Winning the Eurovision Song Contest provides a unique opportunity for the winning artist ( s ) to capitalise on their success and surrounding publicity by launching or furthering their international career during their singing years . However , throughout the history of the contest , relatively few of these artists have gone on to be huge international stars . The most notable winning Eurovision artists whose career was directly launched into the spotlight following their win were the members of ABBA , who won the 1974 contest for Sweden with their song `` Waterloo '' . ABBA went on to be one of the most successful bands of its time . Another notable winner who subsequently achieved international fame and success was Céline Dion , who won the 1988 contest for Switzerland with the song `` Ne partez pas sans moi '' .

Eleven Eurovision winners ( alongside three non-winners ) featured at the Congratulations concert in 2005 , in which ABBA 's `` Waterloo '' was voted the most popular song of the contest 's first fifty years . Ireland has finished first seven times , more than any other country , Ireland also won the contest for three consecutive years ( 1992 , 1993 , 1994 ) , more consecutive years than any other country . Three countries have won twice in a row , Spain ( 1968 and 1969 ) , Luxembourg ( 1972 and 1973 ) and Israel ( 1978 and 1979 ) . Along with Switzerland 's win in the first contest , Serbia is the only other country to win with its debut entry ( in 2007 ) , though Serbia had competed prior as part of Yugoslavia and Serbia and Montenegro . Under the voting system used between 1975 and 2015 , the winner of the contest was decided by the final voting nation on eleven occasions . Changes to the voting system , including a steady growth in the number of countries participating and voting , means that the points earned are not comparable across the decades . Portugal 's Salvador Sobral holds the record of the highest number of points in the contest 's history , earning 758 with the song `` Amar pelos dois '' . Norway 's Alexander Rybak holds the largest margin of victory in absolute points , a 169 - point cushion over second place in 2009 . Italy 's Gigliola Cinquetti holds the record for largest victory by percentage , scoring almost three times as many as second place ( 49 points compared with 17 by the runner - up ) in the 1964 contest . Under the voting system used from 1975 until 2015 , the lowest winning score was Norway 's Bobbysocks ! 123 points earned ( of the 216 available from the 18 other countries ) when winning Eurovision 1985 , while the lowest winning total ever is the 18 points ( of the 160 total votes cast by 16 countries ) scored by each of the four winning countries in 1969 . Under the voting system used from 1975 until 2015 , in which each country gives maximum points to its first place choice , Sweden 's Loreen won Eurovision 2012 with the most ever first place votes earned , receiving first place votes from 18 of 41 countries ( excluding themselves ) . The 1976 United Kingdom entrant , Brotherhood of Man with the song `` Save Your Kisses For Me '' holds the record of the highest average score per participating country , with an average of 9.65 points received per country . 2011 winner Azerbaijan Eldar & Nigar , hold the lowest average score for a winning song under that system , receiving 5.14 points per country . The United Kingdom has finished second fifteen times at Eurovision ( most recently in 1998 ) , more than any other country . The most successful country never to have won the Contest is Malta , having finished second in 2002 and 2005 and third in 1992 and 1998 . Another island nation Iceland has also finished second twice , in 1999 and 2009 . There is no official runner - up for two of the contests -- 1956 and 1969 . In 1956 only the winner , Switzerland , was announced , whilst there were speculative reports that Germany ended up in second place with `` Im Wartesaal zum großen Glück '' by Walter Andreas Schwarz , given that Germany was chosen to host the 1957 contest . In 1969 four songs shared first place by achieving the same number of points ; fifth place was achieved by Switzerland , which is not considered an official runner - up , because of the draw for first place .

Development ( edit ) Creation and casting ( edit ) On November 24 , 2012 , Mary Beth Evans announced that child actor Jadon Wells would make his debut in the role of Joey in December 2012 . Wells is the real life son of actor Dan Wells who had previously appeared on the series as Stan , the male alter ego of Sami Brady ( Alison Sweeney ) . Jadon 's appearances were limited to special Christmas episodes and he last appeared in December 2014 . In March 2015 , it was reported that Days of Our Lives had released two casting notices -- one of which was for the contract role of the 16 year old Joey . In April 2015 , talent agency John Robert Powers San Diego announced that James Lastovic had been cast in the role of Joey Johnson with a two - year contract . Five months prior , Lastovic had quit his day job to do a play for $25 a week . `` I had money saved up from the one commercial that I had done and thought I could use the money from that to do the play . '' However , the play lasted longer than expected and Lastovic ran out of money . `` I was so broke that I looked forward to the dinner scene '' so he could eat . Fortunately , Lastovic booked Days as the play ended . Lastovic had actually auditioned for the series three years prior . While he was n't sure for what role he auditioned for Lastovic revealed , `` I had the same exact sides when I read for Joey ! '' Lastovic filmed his first scenes in March 2015 and made his debut on August 28 , 2015 . During the audition process , Lastovic watched a few episodes of the series to prepare . Casting director Marnie Saitta later informed the young actor that he 'd be working with two `` adored '' veterans in Mary Beth Evans ( Kayla ) and Stephen Nichols ( Patch ) . `` I looked them up online and found some of their scenes from the 1980s . I saw how good they were and I was instantly excited to get to work with them '' Lastovic revealed . After he booked the role , Lastovic admitted that he got hooked on the show when he went back to watch Patch and Kayla 's love story . Teen years ( 2015 -- ) ( edit ) Stephen Nichols on Joey He 's very resentful . He does n't want to address his father 's absence . He 's just kind of silent and stoic about the whole thing . It 's hard to get two words out of the kid . `` '' Michael Logan , TV Insider The production team wanted to establish a teenage set in time for the show 's 50th anniversary and Lastovic 's casting was just the first in a slew of castings . Executive producer Ken Corday said `` Joey will be giving Patch the ' rebel ' a little of his own medicine ! '' Lastovic was very nervous about playing such an important role but Mary Beth Evans invited him over to her home and greeted him with freshly baked cookies . `` Seeing Mary Beth holding that plate of cookies , I immediately felt that motherly connection . '' He credited Evans and Stephen Nichols for making him comfortable . Lastovic also founded a mentor in costar Casey Moss who had joined the series two years prior in the similar role of troubled teenager JJ Deveraux -- Joey 's cousin . `` I think he could see a little bit of himself in me '' Lastovic said . Lastovic later admitted that his nerves worked well for his first scenes as Joey had recently run away from boarding school -- `` he was supposed to be nervous . '' So much is changing Joey at the time of his return . `` He 's just beginning to experience all these new emotions , so he 's feeling a little lost . '' Joey 's needing his parents helps bring Patch and Kayla back together after years of estrangement . A promo for the show 's 50th anniversary in November 2015 revealed that Joey is secretly conspiring with his father 's ex-lover and family rival Ava Vitali ( Tamara Braun ) to help reunite his parents . Departure ( edit ) In March 2017 , after a cryptic tweet by Lastovic 's mother , Lucienne , it was rumored that the actor 's contract with the series had not been renewed . On Wednesday , August 16 , the rumors were proven through by Lastovic himself in an Instagram post , he last aired on August 22 when the character going to prison for Ava 's murder . Reception ( edit ) Omar White - Nobles of TVSource Magazine praised the decision to age Joey along with the other characters in time for the show 's 50th anniversary . `` I may be 29 , but I 'm a fan of the multi-generational aspect of the continuing narrative . '' Lastovic 's debut was `` highly anticipated '' as it coincided with the onscreen return of Stephen Nichols as Patch . Soap Opera Digest included the actor in its list of the `` Hottest Newcomers '' for the year 2015 . Daytime Confidential also listed Lastovic as number five on their own list of the `` Top 20 Soap Opera Newcomers of 2015 . '' The blog praised Lastovic for his portrayal and said Joey 's habit of acting out and causing grief for his mother `` helps to further ground the Johnsons as Salem 's relatable , working central family . '' Omar Nobles said Joey return provided Kayla with `` a greater purpose and more attention in just a few short weeks than the four years since she returned to the show . '' He continued , `` That 's smart planning . That 's smart creative . '' The website also praised Lastovic as being one of the strongest of the new younger actors .

actor who plays joey on days of our lives
[ "Joey Johnson is a fictional character from Days of Our Lives, an American soap opera on the NBC network, currently portrayed by James Lastovic. Introduced in 2008, Joey was created by head writers Dena Higley and Victor Gialanella as the youngest child of supercouple, Steve \"Patch\" Johnson and Kayla Brady (Stephen Nichols and Mary Beth Evans). The role was originated by siblings Brody and Jonas—who vacated the role in 2009 when the character was written out. Child actor, Jadon Wells appeared in the role of Joey on a recurring basis from 2012 to 2014. In 2015, the character was rapidly aged to 16 when Lastovic stepped into the role. Joey returns having skipped out on boarding school suffering from abandonment issues. It is later revealed that Joey has secretly been conspiring with Ava Vitali (Tamara Braun) to orchestrate Patch and Kayla's reunion. Unbeknownst to Joey, Ava is his father's ex-lover and has caused quite a bit of trouble for Kayla and the rest of the Brady family." ]

While My Guitar Gently Weeps
While My Guitar Gently Weeps - wikipedia While My Guitar Gently Weeps Jump to : navigation , search `` While My Guitar Gently Weeps '' Cover of the 1969 Australian B - side single Song by the Beatles from the album The Beatles A-side `` Ob - La - Di , Ob - La - Da '' Published Harrisongs Released 22 November 1968 ( 1968 - 11 - 22 ) Recorded 5 -- 6 September 1968 , Studio EMI , London Genre Rock psychedelic rock blues rock Length 4 : 46 Label Apple Songwriter ( s ) George Harrison Producer ( s ) George Martin Audio sample file help `` While My Guitar Gently Weeps '' is a song by the English rock band the Beatles from their 1968 double album The Beatles ( also known as `` the White Album '' ) . It was written by George Harrison , partly as an exercise in randomness after he consulted the Chinese I Ching . The song also serves as a comment on the disharmony within the Beatles at the time . The recording includes a lead guitar part played by Eric Clapton , although he was not formally credited for his contribution . `` While My Guitar Gently Weeps '' ranks 136th on Rolling Stone 's `` The 500 Greatest Songs of All Time '' , seventh on the magazine 's list of the `` 100 Greatest Guitar Songs of All Time '' , and tenth on its list of `` The Beatles 100 Greatest Songs '' . Guitar World magazine 's February 2012 online poll voted `` While My Guitar Gently Weeps '' the best of George Harrison 's Beatles - era songs . Clapton 's performance ranked 42nd in Guitar World 's October 2008 list of the `` 100 Greatest Guitar Solos '' . Contents ( hide ) 1 Composition and recording 2 Musical structure 3 Personnel 4 Performances 5 Cover versions 6 2016 music video 7 References 8 Sources 9 External links Composition and recording ( edit ) Inspiration for the song came to Harrison when reading the I Ching , which , as Harrison put it , `` seemed to me to be based on the Eastern concept that everything is relative to everything else , as opposed to the Western view that things are merely coincidental '' . Taking this idea of relativism to his parents ' home in northern England , Harrison committed to write a song based on the first words he saw upon opening a random book . He later explained the process : I wrote `` While My Guitar Gently Weeps '' at my mother 's house in Warrington . I was thinking about the Chinese I Ching , ' The Book of Changes `` . The Eastern concept is that whatever happens is all meant to be , and that there 's no such thing as coincidence -- every little item that 's going down has a purpose . `` While My Guitar Gently Weeps '' was a simple study based on that theory . I decided to write a song based on the first thing I saw upon opening any book -- as it would be relative to that moment , at that time . I picked up a book at random , opened it , saw `` gently weeps '' , then laid the book down again and started the song . The initial incarnation was not final , as Harrison said : `` Some of the words to the song were changed before I finally recorded it . '' A demo recorded at George 's home in Esher includes an unused verse : I look at the trouble and see that it 's raging , While my guitar gently weeps . As I 'm sitting here , doing nothing but ageing , Still , my guitar gently weeps . As well as an unused line in the very beginning : The problems you sow , are the troubles you 're reaping , Still , my guitar gently weeps . This line was eventually omitted in favour of the one appearing on The Beatles . An early acoustic guitar and organ demo of the song featured a slightly different third verse : I look from the wings at the play you are staging , While my guitar gently weeps . As I 'm sitting here , doing nothing but ageing , Still , my guitar gently weeps . This version was released on the 1996 compilation Anthology 3 and was used as the basis of the 2006 Love remix , with a string arrangement by George Martin . The band recorded the song several times . Take 1 on 25 July 1968 involved Harrison on his Gibson J - 200 acoustic guitar and an overdubbed harmonium . Sessions on 16 August and 3 and 5 September included a version with a backward ( or `` backmasked '' ) guitar solo ( as Harrison had done for `` I 'm Only Sleeping '' on Revolver ) , but Harrison was not satisfied . On 6 September 1968 , during a ride from Surrey into London , Harrison asked friend Eric Clapton to contribute lead guitar to the song . Clapton was reluctant , saying later , `` Nobody ever plays on the Beatles ' records '' ; but Harrison convinced him , and Clapton 's guitar parts , using Harrison 's Gibson Les Paul electric guitar `` Lucy '' ( a recent gift from Clapton ) , were recorded that evening . Harrison later said that in addition to his contribution , Clapton 's presence had another effect on the band : `` It made them all try a bit harder ; they were all on their best behaviour . '' Clapton wanted a more `` Beatley '' sound , so the sound was run through an ADT circuit with `` varispeed , '' with engineer Chris Thomas manually ' waggling ' the oscillator : `` apparently Eric said that he did n't want it to sound like him . So I was just sitting there wobbling the thing , they wanted it really extreme , so that 's what I did . '' `` While My Guitar Gently Weeps '' was one of three songs on The Beatles where Paul McCartney experimented with the Fender Jazz Bass ( the others being `` Glass Onion '' and `` Yer Blues '' ) instead of his Hofner and Rickenbacker basses . According to Walter Everett 's book The Beatles as Musicians , John Lennon 's electric guitar is audible only in the coda with the tremolo switched on . Musical structure ( edit ) The song is in Am , with a shift to a ♭ 7 ( Am / G ) on `` all '' ( bass note G ) and a 6 ( D ( major 3rd F ♯ ) ) after `` love '' ( bass note F ♯ ) to a ♭ 6 ( Fmaj ) on `` sleeping '' ( bass note F ) . This 8 -- ♭ 7 -- 6 -- ♭ 6 progression has been described as an Aeolian / Dorian hybrid . Everett notes that the change from the minor mode verse ( A -- B ) to the parallel major for the bridge might express hope that `` unrealized potential '' described in the lyrics is to be `` fulfilled '' , but that the continued minor triads ( III , VI and II ) `` seem to express a strong dismay that love is not to be unfolded '' . Clapton 's guitar contribution has been described as making this a `` monumental '' track ; particularly notable features include the increasing lengths of thrice - heard first scale degrees ( 0 : 17 -- 0 : 19 ) , the restraint showed by rests in many bars then unexpected appearances ( as at 0 : 28 -- 0 : 29 ) , commanding turnaround phrases ( 0 : 31 -- 0 : 33 ) , expressive string bends marking modal changes from C to C ♯ ( 0 : 47 -- 0 : 53 ) , power retransition ( 1 : 21 -- 1 : 24 ) , emotive vibrato ( 2 : 01 -- 2 : 07 ) , and a solo ( 1 : 55 -- 2 : 31 ) with a `` measured rise in intensity , rhythmic activity , tonal drive and registral climb '' . Personnel ( edit ) George Harrison -- double - tracked vocals , backing vocal , acoustic guitar , twelve - string guitar , Hammond organ Paul McCartney -- harmony vocal , piano , bass John Lennon -- electric guitar with tremolo Ringo Starr -- drums , tambourine , castanets Eric Clapton -- lead guitar ( uncredited ) Personnel per Ian MacDonald Anthology 3 version George Harrison -- vocals , acoustic guitar Paul McCartney -- organ Love version George Harrison - vocals , acoustic guitar Paul McCartney - organ George Martin - string arrangement Performances ( edit ) On The Concert for Bangladesh , Clapton performed the song on a Gibson Byrdland hollow body guitar , and later acknowledged that a solid - body guitar would have been more appropriate . The version in the Prince 's Trust Rock Concert 1987 ( released on DVD by Panorama ) reunited Harrison , Starr and Clapton , and features an extended coda with the guitars of Harrison and Clapton interweaving . Mark King ( of Level 42 ) played McCartney 's bass line . On their 1991 tour of Japan , Harrison and Clapton performed a live version of `` While My Guitar Gently Weeps '' with additional background vocals . An edit combining parts of the 14 December and 17 December Tokyo performances of the song is included on the album Live in Japan . On 3 June 2002 , within the Golden Jubilee of Elizabeth II concert at Buckingham Palace Garden , Paul McCartney performed the song with Clapton , as a tribute to George Harrison who had died the year before . They were introduced by George Martin . The performance appears on the DVD release Party at the Palace . On 29 November the same year , McCartney , Starr , Dhani Harrison , Jeff Lynne , Marc Mann , and Clapton performed `` While My Guitar Gently Weeps '' at the Concert for George in memory of Harrison . This version showcased Clapton singing the lead vocal and playing his original guitar solo while McCartney provided background vocals and piano ; Mann played Clapton 's original fills during the verses . In 2004 , Harrison was inducted posthumously into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame as a solo artist . `` While My Guitar Gently Weeps '' was played in tribute by Tom Petty vocals / guitar , Jeff Lynne vocals / guitar , Steve Winwood Hammond organ , Billy Preston keyboards , Scott Thurston Bass Guitar , Steve Ferrone Drums , Jim Capaldi percussion and tambourine , Marc Mann lead guitar , Dhani Harrison vocals / guitar , concluding with the guitar solo by fellow inductee Prince . Cover versions ( edit ) Canadian guitarist Jeff Healey covered `` While My Guitar Gently Weeps '' on his 1990 album Hell to Pay . Harrison participated in the recording , contributing on acoustic guitar and backing vocals . Also issued as a single , Healey 's version peaked at number 27 in Canada , number 85 in the UK and number 25 in New Zealand . American musician Todd Rundgren covered `` While My Guitar Gently Weeps '' for the 2003 album Songs from the Material World : A Tribute to George Harrison . Rundgren said of his contribution to the multi-artist tribute : `` ( Before the Beatles ) , I 'd never heard the term ' lead guitarist . ' George created the job description for my first paying gig , the vocation that I 'm still lucky enough to practice today ... '' Johnny Loftus of AllMusic views the recording as one of the collection 's highlights , saying that Rundgren `` effortlessly replicates the grandeur '' of the Beatles ' track . As his personal tribute to Harrison , Peter Frampton released a version of the song on his 2003 album Now . Among other cover versions , the song has also been recorded by guitarists such as Marc Ribot , Phish and Charlie Byrd , and on ukulele by Jake Shimabukuro . Toto did a cover version for their album Through the Looking Glass and in a live performance in Live in Amsterdam . Santana did a cover for his twentieth album Guitar Heaven : The Greatest Guitar Classics of All Time , in 2010 , featuring singer India Arie and cellist Yo - Yo Ma . Released as a single , it charted on Billboard 's Adult Contemporary . In 2016 , Regina Spektor performed the song for the soundtrack to the film Kubo and the Two Strings , accompanied by Kevin Kmetz on a shamisen . 2016 music video ( edit ) In 2016 a music video was created by Apple Corps Ltd. and Cirque du Soleil . The video is based on a 10th anniversary re-staging of the song for Love , Cirque du Soleil 's theatrical production . The video was directed by Dandypunk , André Kasten and Leah Moyer . Ryan reed , describing the clip in rollingstone.com , wrote that `` Dandypunk 's hand - drawn illustrations depict Harrison 's lyrics falling off the page into the air , transporting LOVE performer Eira Glover into a series of fantastical locations . Projection mapping -- and no CGI -- was used to create the clip . '' References ( edit ) Jump up ^ Lewisohn 1988 , pp. 153 -- 54 .

The definition of the term Mau Mau has been contentious . Some have argued that it is an acronym for Mzungu Aende Ulaya Mwafrica Apate Uhuru . Others have claimed that it was coined from the term UMA UMA , a communication code used by the freedom fighters . Dominated by the Kikuyu people , Meru people and Embu people , the Mau Mau also comprised units of Kamba and Maasai peoples who fought against the white European colonist - settlers in Kenya , the British Army , and the local Kenya Regiment ( British colonists , local auxiliary militia , and pro -- British Kikuyu people ) . The capture of rebel leader , Field Marshal Dedan Kimathi , on 21 October 1956 , signalled the defeat of the Mau Mau , however , the rebellion survived until after Kenya 's independence from Britain , driven mainly by the Meru units led by Field Marshal Musa Mwariama and General Baimungi . Baimuingi , one of the last Mau Mau generals , was killed shortly after Kenya attained self - rule . The Mau Mau failed to capture widespread public support , partly due to the British policy of divide and rule , and the Mau Mau movement remained internally divided , despite attempts to unify the factions . The British , meanwhile , applied the strategy and tactics they developed in suppressing the Malayan Emergency ( 1948 -- 60 ) . The Mau Mau Uprising created a rift between the European colonial community in Kenya and the metropole , and also resulted in violent divisions within the Kikuyu community . Suppressing the Mau Mau Uprising in the Kenyan colony cost Britain £ 55 million .

According to some members of Mau Mau , they never referred to themselves as such , instead preferring the military title Kenya Land and Freedom Army ( KLFA ) . Some publications , such as Fred Majdalany 's State of Emergency : The Full Story of Mau Mau , claim it was an anagram of Uma Uma ( which means `` get out get out '' ) and was a military codeword based on a secret language - game Kikuyu boys used to play at the time of their circumcision . Majdalany goes on to state that the British simply used the name as a label for the Kikuyu ethnic community without assigning any specific definition . As the movement progressed , a Swahili backronym was adopted : `` Mzungu Aende Ulaya , Mwafrika Apate Uhuru '' meaning `` Let the foreigner go back abroad , let the African regain independence '' . J.M. Kariuki , a member of Mau Mau who was detained during the conflict , postulates that the British preferred to use the term Mau Mau instead of KLFA in an attempt to deny the Mau Mau rebellion international legitimacy . Kariuki also wrote that the term Mau Mau was adopted by the rebellion in order to counter what they regarded as colonial propaganda . Another possible origin is a mishearing of the Kikuyu word for oath `` muuma '' . Background ( edit ) The principal item in the natural resources of Kenya is the land , and in this term we include the colony 's mineral resources . It seems to us that our major objective must clearly be the preservation and the wise use of this most important asset . `` '' -- Deputy Governor to Secretary of State for the Colonies , 19 March 1945 The armed rebellion of the Mau Mau was the culminating response to oppressive colonial rule . Although there had been previous instances of violent resistance to colonialism , the Mau Mau revolt was the most prolonged and violent anti-colonial warfare in the British Kenya colony . From the start , the land was the primary British interest in Kenya , which had `` some of the richest agricultural soils in the world , mostly in districts where the elevation and climate make it possible for Europeans to reside permanently '' . Though declared a colony in 1920 , the formal British colonial presence in Kenya began with a proclamation on 1 July 1895 , in which Kenya was claimed as a British protectorate . Even before 1895 , however , Britain 's presence in Kenya was marked by dispossession and violence . In 1894 , British MP Sir Charles Dilke had observed in the House of Commons , `` The only person who has up to the present time benefited from our enterprise in the heart of Africa has been Mr. Hiram Maxim '' . During the period in which Kenya 's interior was being forcibly opened up for British settlement , there was plenty of conflict and British troops carried out atrocities against the native population . Opposition to British imperialism existed from the start of British occupation . The most notable include the Nandi Resistance of 1895 -- 1905 ; the Giriama Uprising of 1913 -- 1914 ; the women 's revolt against forced labour in Murang'a in 1947 ; and the Kolloa Affray of 1950 . None of the armed uprisings during the beginning of British colonialism in Kenya were successful . The nature of fighting in Kenya led Winston Churchill to express concern in 1908 about how it would look if word got out : 160 Gusii have now been killed outright without any further casualties on our side ... It looks like a butchery . If the H. of C. gets hold of it , all our plans in E.A.P. will be under a cloud . Surely it can not be necessary to go on killing these defenceless people on such an enormous scale . You may travel through the length and breadth of Kitui Reserve and you will fail to find in it any enterprise , building , or structure of any sort which Government has provided at the cost of more than a few sovereigns for the direct benefit of the natives . The place was little better than a wilderness when I first knew it 25 years ago , and it remains a wilderness to - day as far as our efforts are concerned . If we left that district to - morrow the only permanent evidence of our occupation would be the buildings we have erected for the use of our tax - collecting staff . `` '' -- Chief Native Commissioner of Kenya , 1925 A feature of all settler societies during the colonial period was the ability to obtain a disproportionate share in land ownership . Kenya was no exception , with the first settlers arriving in 1902 as part of Governor Charles Eliot 's plan to have a settler economy pay for the Uganda Railway . The success of this settler economy would depend heavily on the availability of land , labour and capital , and so , over the next three decades , the colonial government and settlers consolidated their control over Kenyan land , and ' encouraged ' native Kenyans to become wage labourers . Until the mid-1930s , the two primary complaints were low native Kenyan wages and the requirement to carry an identity document , the kipande . From the early 1930s , however , two others began to come to prominence : effective and elected African - political - representation , and land . The British response to this clamour for agrarian reform came in the early 1930s when they set up the Carter Land Commission . The Commission reported in 1934 , but its conclusions , recommendations and concessions to Kenyans were so conservative that any chance of a peaceful resolution to native Kenyan land - hunger was ended . Through a series of expropriations , the government seized about 7,000,000 acres ( 28,000 km ; 11,000 sq mi ) of land , most of it in the fertile hilly regions of Central and Rift Valley Provinces , later known as the White Highlands due to the exclusively European - owned farmland there . In Nyanza the Commission restricted 1,029,422 native Kenyans to 7,114 square miles ( 18,430 km ) , while granting 16,700 square miles ( 43,000 km ) to 17,000 Europeans . By the 1930s , and for the Kikuyu in particular , land had become the number one grievance concerning colonial rule , the situation so acute by 1948 that 1,250,000 Kikuyu had ownership of 2,000 square miles ( 5,200 km ) , while 30,000 British settlers owned 12,000 square miles ( 31,000 km ) , abeit most of it not on traditional Kikuku land . `` In particular '' , the British government 's 1925 East Africa Commission noted , `` the treatment of the Giriama tribe ( from the coastal regions ) was very bad . This tribe was moved backwards and forwards so as to secure for the Crown areas which could be granted to Europeans . '' The Kikuyu , who lived in the Kiambu , Nyeri and Murang'a areas of what became Central Province , were one of the ethnic groups most affected by the colonial government 's land expropriation and European settlement ; by 1933 , they had had over 109.5 square miles ( 284 km ) of their potentially highly valuable land alienated . The Kikuyu mounted a legal challenge against the expropriation of their land , but a Kenya High Court decision of 1921 reaffirmed its legality . In terms of lost acreage , the Masai and Nandi people were the biggest losers of land . The colonial government and white farmers also wanted cheap labour which , for a period , the government acquired from native Kenyans through force . Confiscating the land itself helped to create a pool of wage labourers , but the colony introduced measures that forced more native Kenyans to submit to wage labour : the introduction of the Hut and Poll Taxes ( 1901 and 1910 respectively ) ; the establishment of reserves for each ethnic group , which isolated ethnic groups and often exacerbated overcrowding ; the discouragement of native Kenyans ' growing cash crops ; the Masters and Servants Ordinance ( 1906 ) and an identification pass known as the kipande ( 1918 ) to control the movement of labour and to curb desertion ; and the exemption of wage labourers from forced labour and other compulsory , detested tasks such as conscription . Native labourer categories ( edit ) Native Kenyan labourers were in one of three categories : squatter , contract , or casual . By the end of World War I , squatters had become well established on European farms and plantations in Kenya , with Kikuyu squatters comprising the majority of agricultural workers on settler plantations . An unintended consequence of colonial rule , the squatters were targeted from 1918 onwards by a series of Resident Native Labourers Ordinances -- criticised by at least some MPs -- which progressively curtailed squatter rights and subordinated native Kenyan farming to that of the settlers . The Ordinance of 1939 finally eliminated squatters ' remaining tenancy rights , and permitted settlers to demand 270 days ' labour from any squatters on their land. and , after World War II , the situation for squatters deteriorated rapidly , a situation the squatters resisted fiercely . In the early 1920s , though , despite the presence of 100,000 squatters and tens of thousands more wage labourers , there was still not enough native Kenyan labour available to satisfy the settlers ' needs . The colonial government duly tightened the measures to force more Kenyans to become low - paid wage - labourers on settler farms . The colonial government used the measures brought in as part of its land expropriation and labour ' encouragement ' efforts to craft the third plank of its growth strategy for its settler economy : subordinating African farming to that of the Europeans . Nairobi also assisted the settlers with rail and road networks , subsidies on freight charges , agricultural and veterinary services , and credit and loan facilities . The near - total neglect of native farming during the first two decades of European settlement was noted by the East Africa Commission . The resentment of colonial rule would not have been decreased by the wanting provision of medical services for native Kenyans , nor by the fact that in 1923 , for example , `` the maximum amount that could be considered to have been spent on services provided exclusively for the benefit of the native population was slightly over one - quarter of the taxes paid by them '' . The tax burden on Europeans in the early 1920s , meanwhile , was very light . Interwar infrastructure - development was also largely paid for by the indigenous population . Kenyan employees were often poorly treated by their European employers -- sometimes even beaten to death by them -- with some settlers arguing that native Kenyans `` were as children and should be treated as such '' . Some settlers flogged their servants for petty offences . To make matters even worse , native Kenyan workers were poorly served by colonial labour - legislation and a prejudiced legal - system . The vast majority of Kenyan employees ' violations of labour legislation were settled with `` rough justice '' meted out by their employers . Most colonial magistrates appear to have been unconcerned by the illegal practice of settler - administered flogging ; indeed , during the 1920s , flogging was the magisterial punishment - of - choice for native Kenyan convicts . The principle of punitive sanctions against workers was not removed from the Kenyan labour statutes until the 1950s . The greater part of the wealth of the country is at present in our hands ... This land we have made is our land by right -- by right of achievement . `` '' -- Speech by Deputy Colonial Governor 30 November 1946 As a result of the situation in the highlands and growing job opportunities in the cities , thousands of Kikuyu migrated into cities in search of work , contributing to the doubling of Nairobi 's population between 1938 and 1952 . At the same time , there was a small , but growing , class of Kikuyu landowners who consolidated Kikuyu landholdings and forged ties with the colonial administration , leading to an economic rift within the Kikuyu . Mau Mau warfare ( edit ) This section needs expansion . You can help by adding to it . ( April 2018 ) Mau Mau were the militant wing of a growing clamour for political representation and freedom in Kenya . The first attempt to form a countrywide political party begun on 1 October 1944 . This fledgling organisation was called the Kenya African Study Union with Harry Thuku as its inaugural chairman . He soon resigned his chairmanship . There is dispute over Thuku 's reason for leaving KASU : Bethwell Ogot states that Thuku `` found the responsibility too heavy '' ; David Anderson states that `` he walked out in disgust '' as the militant section of KASU took the initiative . KASU changed its name to the Kenya African Union ( KAU ) in 1946 . The failure of KAU to attain any significant reforms or redress of grievances from the colonial authorities shifted the political initiative to younger and more militant figures within the native Kenyan trade union movement , among the squatters on the settler estates in the Rift Valley and in KAU branches in Nairobi and the Kikuyu districts of central province . Around 1943 , residents of Olenguruone Settlement radicalised the traditional practice of oathing , and extended oathing to women and children . By the mid-1950s , 90 % of Kikuyu , Embu and Meru were oathed . On 3 October 1952 , Mau Mau claimed their first European victim when they stabbed a woman to death near her home in Thika . Six days later , on 9 October , Senior Chief Waruhiu was shot dead in broad daylight in his car , which was an important blow against the colonial government . Waruhiu had been one of the strongest supporters of the British presence in Kenya . His assassination gave Baring the final impetus to request permission from the Colonial Office to declare a State of Emergency . Contrary to British propaganda and western perceptions of the time , the Mau Mau attacks were mostly well organised and planned . ... the insurgents ' lack of heavy weaponry and the heavily entrenched police and Home Guard positions meant that Mau Mau attacks were restricted to nighttime and where loyalist positions were weak . When attacks did commence they were fast and brutal , as insurgents were easily able to identify loyalists because they were often local to those communities themselves . The Lari massacre was by comparison rather outstanding and in contrast to regular Mau Mau strikes which more often than not targeted only loyalists without such massive civilian casualties . `` Even the attack upon Lari , in the view of the rebel commanders was strategic and specific . '' The Mau Mau command , contrary to the Home Guard who were stigmatised as `` the running dogs of British Imperialism '' , were relatively well educated . General Gatunga had previously been a respected and well read Christian teacher in his local Kikuyu community . He was known to meticulously record his attacks in a series of five notebooks , which when executed were often swift and strategic , targeting loyalist community leaders he had previously known as a teacher . The Mau Mau military strategy was mainly guerrilla attacks launched under the cover of dark . They used stolen weapons such as guns , as well as weapons such as machetes and bows and arrows in their attacks . In a few limited cases , they also deployed biological weapons . Women formed a core part of the Mau Mau , especially in maintaining supply lines . Initially able to avoid the suspicion , they moved through colonial spaces and between Mau Mau hideouts and strongholds , to deliver vital supplies and services to guerrilla fighters including food , ammunition , medical care , and of course , information . An unknown number also fought in the war , with the most high - ranking being Field Marshal Muthoni . British reaction ( edit ) The British and international view was that Mau Mau as a savage , violent , and depraved tribal cult , an expression of unrestrained emotion rather than reason . Mau Mau was `` perverted tribalism '' that sought to take the Kikuyu people back to `` the bad old days '' before British rule . The official British explanation of the revolt did not include the insights of agrarian and agricultural experts , of economists and historians , or even of Europeans who had spent a long period living amongst the Kikuyu such as Louis Leakey . Not for the first time , the British instead relied on the purported insights of the ethnopsychiatrist ; with Mau Mau , it fell to Dr. John Colin Carothers to perform the desired analysis . This ethnopsychiatric analysis guided British psychological warfare , which painted Mau Mau as `` an irrational force of evil , dominated by bestial impulses and influenced by world communism '' , and the later official study of the uprising , the Corfield Report . The psychological war became of critical importance to military and civilian leaders , who waged it in the time - honoured colonial fashion of divide and rule , always trying to `` emphasise that there was in effect a civil war , and that the struggle was not black versus white '' , attempting to isolate Mau Mau from the Kikuyu , and the Kikuyu from the rest of the colony 's population and the world outside . In driving a wedge between Mau Mau and the Kikuyu generally , these propaganda efforts essentially played no role , though they could apparently claim an important contribution to the isolation of Mau Mau from the non-Kikuyu sections of the population . By the mid-1960s , the view of Mau Mau as simply irrational activists was being challenged by memoirs of former members and leaders that portrayed Mau Mau as an essential , if radical , component of African nationalism in Kenya , and by academic studies that analysed the movement as a modern and nationalist response to the unfairness and oppression of colonial domination ( though such studies downplayed the specifically Kikuyu nature of the movement ) . There continues to be vigorous debate within Kenyan society and among the academic community within and without Kenya regarding the nature of Mau Mau and its aims , as well as the response to and effects of the uprising . Nevertheless , partly because as many Kikuyu fought against Mau Mau on the side of the colonial government as joined them in rebellion , the conflict is now often regarded in academic circles as an intra-Kikuyu civil war , a characterisation that remains extremely unpopular in Kenya . Kenyatta described the conflict in his memoirs as a civil war rather than a rebellion . The reason that the revolt was majorly limited to the Kikuyu people was , in part , that they had suffered the most as a result of the negative aspects of British colonialism . Wunyabari O. Maloba regards the rise of the Mau Mau movement as `` without doubt , one of the most important events in recent African history . '' David Anderson , however , considers Maloba 's and similar work to be the product of `` swallowing too readily the propaganda of the Mau Mau war '' , noting the similarity between such analysis and the `` simplistic '' earlier studies of Mau Mau . This earlier work cast the Mau Mau war in strictly bipolar terms , `` as conflicts between anti-colonial nationalists and colonial collaborators '' . Caroline Elkins ' 2005 study , Imperial Reckoning , has met similar criticism , as well as being criticised for sensationalism . It is often assumed that in a conflict there are two sides in opposition to one another , and that a person who is not actively committed to one side must be supporting the other . During the course of a conflict , leaders on both sides will use this argument to gain active support from the `` crowd '' . In reality , conflicts involving more than two persons usually have more than two sides , and if a resistance movement is to be successful , propaganda and politicization are essential . `` '' -- Louise Pirouet Broadly speaking , throughout Kikuyu history , there have been two traditions : moderate - conservative and radical . Despite the differences between them , there has been a continuous debate and dialogue between these traditions , leading to a great political awareness among the Kikuyu . By 1950 , these differences , and the impact of colonial rule , had given rise to three native Kenyan political blocks : conservative , moderate nationalist and militant nationalist . It has also been argued that Mau Mau was not explicitly national , either intellectually or operationally . Bruce Berman argues that , `` While Mau Mau was clearly not a tribal atavism seeking a return to the past , the answer to the question of ' was it nationalism ? ' must be yes and no . '' As the Mau Mau rebellion wore on , the violence forced the spectrum of opinion within the Kikuyu , Embu and Meru to polarise and harden into the two distinct camps of loyalist and Mau Mau . This neat division between loyalists and Mau Mau was a product of the conflict , rather than a cause or catalyst of it , with the violence becoming less ambiguous over time , in a similar manner to other situations . British reaction to the uprising ( edit ) Between 1952 and 1956 , when the fighting was at its worst , the Kikuyu districts of Kenya became a police state in the very fullest sense of that term . `` '' -- David Anderson Philip Mitchell retired as Kenya 's governor in summer 1952 , having turned a blind eye to Mau Mau 's increasing activity . Through the summer of 1952 , however , Colonial Secretary Oliver Lyttelton in London received a steady flow of reports from Acting Governor Henry Potter about the escalating seriousness of Mau Mau violence , but it was not until the later part of 1953 that British politicians began to accept that the rebellion was going to take some time to deal with . At first , the British discounted the Mau Mau rebellion because of their own technical and military superiority , which encouraged hopes for a quick victory . The British army accepted the gravity of the uprising months before the politicians , but the army 's appeals to London and Nairobi initially fell on deaf ears . On 30 September 1952 , Evelyn Baring arrived in Kenya to permanently take over from Potter ; Baring was given no warning by Mitchell or the Colonial Office about the gathering maelstrom into which he was stepping . Aside from military operations against Mau Mau fighters in the forests , the British attempt to defeat the movement broadly came in two stages : the first , relatively limited in scope , came during the period in which they had still failed to accept the seriousness of the revolt ; the second came afterwards . During the first stage , the British tried to decapitate the movement by declaring a State of Emergency before arresting 180 alleged Mau Mau leaders ( see Operation Jock Scott below ) and subjecting six of them to a show trial ( the Kapenguria Six ) ; the second stage began in earnest in 1954 , when they undertook a series of major economic , military and penal initiatives . The second stage had three main planks : a large military - sweep of Nairobi leading to the internment of tens of thousands of the city 's suspected Mau Mau members and sympathisers ( see Operation Anvil below ) ; the enacting of major agrarian reform ( the Swynnerton Plan ) ; and the institution of a vast villagisation programme for more than a million rural Kikuyu ( see below ) . In 2012 , the UK government accepted that prisoners had suffered `` torture and ill - treatment at the hands of the colonial administration '' . The harshness of the British response was inflated by two factors . First , the settler government in Kenya was , even before the insurgency , probably the most openly racist one in the British empire , with the settlers ' violent prejudice attended by an uncompromising determination to retain their grip on power and half - submerged fears that , as a tiny minority , they could be overwhelmed by the indigenous population . Some settlers felt that `` ( a ) good sound system of compulsory labour would do more to raise the nigger in five years than all the millions that have been sunk in missionary efforts for the last fifty '' , and its representatives were so keen on aggressive action that George Erskine referred to them as `` the White Mau Mau '' . Second , the brutality of Mau Mau attacks on civilians made it easy for the movement 's opponents -- including native Kenyan and loyalist security forces -- to adopt a totally dehumanised view of Mau Mau adherents . A variety of persuasive techniques were initiated by the colonial authorities to punish and break Mau Mau 's support : Baring ordered punitive communal - labour , collective fines and other collective punishments , and further confiscation of land and property . By early 1954 , tens of thousands of head of livestock had been taken , and were allegedly never returned . Detailed accounts of the policy of seizing livestock from Kenyans suspected of supporting Mau Mau rebels were finally released in April 2012 . State of Emergency declared ( October 1952 ) ( edit ) On 20 October 1952 , Governor Baring signed an order declaring a State of Emergency . Early the next morning , Operation Jock Scott was launched : the British carried out a mass - arrest of Jomo Kenyatta and 180 other alleged Mau Mau leaders within Nairobi . Jock Scott did not decapitate the movement 's leadership as hoped , since news of the impending operation was leaked . Thus , while the moderates on the wanted list awaited capture , the real militants , such as Dedan Kimathi and Stanley Mathenge ( both later principal leaders of Mau Mau 's forest armies ) , fled to the forests . The day after the round up , another prominent loyalist chief , Nderi , was hacked to pieces , and a series of gruesome murders against settlers were committed throughout the months that followed . The violent and random nature of British tactics during the months after Jock Scott served merely to alienate ordinary Kikuyu and drive many of the wavering majority into Mau Mau 's arms . Three battalions of the King 's African Rifles were recalled from Uganda , Tanganyika and Mauritius , giving the regiment five battalions in all in Kenya , a total of 3,000 native Kenyan troops . To placate settler opinion , one battalion of British troops , from the Lancashire Fusiliers , was also flown in from Egypt to Nairobi on the first day of Operation Jock Scott . In November 1952 , Baring requested assistance from the Security Service . For the next year , the Service 's A.M. MacDonald would reorganise the Special Branch of the Kenya Police , promote collaboration with Special Branches in adjacent territories , and oversee coordination of all intelligence activity `` to secure the intelligence Government requires '' . Our sources have produced nothing to indicate that Kenyatta , or his associates in the UK , are directly involved in Mau Mau activities , or that Kenyatta is essential to Mau Mau as a leader , or that he is in a position to direct its activities . `` '' -- Percy Sillitoe , Director General of MI5 Letter to Evelyn Baring , 9 January 1953 In January 1953 , six of the most prominent detainees from Jock Scott , including Kenyatta , were put on trial , primarily to justify the declaration of the Emergency to critics in London . The trial itself was claimed to have featured a suborned lead defence - witness , a bribed judge , and other serious violations of the right to a fair trial . Native Kenyan political activity was permitted to resume at the end of the military phase of the Emergency . Military operations ( edit ) Lieutenant General Sir George Erskine , Commander - in - Chief , British East Africa ( centre ) , observing operations against the Mau Mau The onset of the Emergency led hundreds , and eventually thousands , of Mau Mau adherents to flee to the forests , where a decentralised leadership had already begun setting up platoons . The primary zones of Mau Mau military strength were the Aberdares and the forests around Mount Kenya , whilst a passive support - wing was fostered outside these areas . Militarily , the British defeated Mau Mau in four years ( 1952 -- 56 ) using a more expansive version of `` coercion through exemplary force '' . In May 1953 , the decision was made to send General George Erskine to oversee the restoration of order in the colony . By September 1953 , the British knew the leading personalities in Mau Mau , the capture and 68 hour interrogation of General China on 15 January the following year provided a massive intelligence boost on the forest fighters . Erskine 's arrival did not immediately herald a fundamental change in strategy , thus the continual pressure on the gangs remained , but he created more mobile formations that delivered what he termed `` special treatment '' to an area . Once gangs had been driven out and eliminated , loyalist forces and police were then to take over the area , with military support brought in thereafter only to conduct any required pacification operations . After their successful dispersion and containment , Erskine went after the forest fighters ' source of supplies , money and recruits , i.e. the native Kenyan population of Nairobi . This took the form of Operation Anvil , which commenced on 24 April 1954 . Operation Anvil ( edit ) By 1954 , Nairobi was regarded as the nerve centre of Mau Mau operations . Anvil was the ambitious attempt to eliminate Mau Mau 's presence within Nairobi in one fell swoop . 25,000 members of British security forces under the control of General George Erskine were deployed as Nairobi was sealed off and underwent a sector - by - sector purge . All native Kenyans were taken to temporary barbed - wire enclosures , whereafter those who were not Kikuyu , Embu or Meru were released ; those who were remained in detention for screening . British Army patrol crossing a stream carrying L1A1 rifle ( 1st and 2nd soldiers from right ) ; Sten Mk5 ( 3rd soldier ) ; and the Lee -- Enfield No. 5 ( 4th and 5th soldiers ) Whilst the operation itself was conducted by Europeans , most suspected members of Mau Mau were picked out of groups of the Kikuyu - Embu - Meru detainees by a native Kenyan informer . Male suspects were then taken off for further screening , primarily at Langata Screening Camp , whilst women and children were readied for ' repatriation ' to the reserves ( many of those slated for deportation had never set foot in the reserves before ) . Anvil lasted for two weeks , after which the capital had been cleared of all but certifiably loyal Kikuyu ; 20,000 Mau Mau suspects had been taken to Langata , and 30,000 more had been deported to the reserves . Air power ( edit ) For an extended period of time , the chief British weapon against the forest fighters was air power . Between June 1953 and October 1955 , the RAF provided a significant contribution to the conflict -- and , indeed , had to , for the army was preoccupied with providing security in the reserves until January 1955 , and it was the only service capable of both psychologically influencing and inflicting considerable casualties on the Mau Mau fighters operating in the dense forests . Lack of timely and accurate intelligence meant bombing was rather haphazard , but almost 900 insurgents had been killed or wounded by air attacks by June 1954 , and it did cause forest gangs to disband , lower their morale , and induce their pronounced relocation from the forests to the reserves . Contrary to that which is sometimes claimed , Lancaster bombers were not used during the Emergency , though Lincolns were . The latter flew their first mission on 18 November 1953 and remained in Kenya until 28 July 1955 , dropping nearly 6 million bombs . They and other aircraft , such as blimps , were also deployed for reconnaissance , as well as in the propaganda war , conducting large - scale leaflet - drops . After the Lari massacre , for example , British planes dropped leaflets showing graphic pictures of the Kikuyu women and children who had been hacked to death . Unlike the rather indiscriminate activities of British ground forces , the use of air power was more restrained ( though there is disagreement on this point ) , and air attacks were initially permitted only in the forests . Operation Mushroom extended bombing beyond the forest limits in May 1954 , and Churchill consented to its continuation in January 1955 . Swynnerton Plan ( edit ) Main article : Swynnerton Plan Baring knew the massive deportations to the already - overcrowded reserves could only make things worse . Refusing to give more land to the Kikuyu in the reserves , which could have been seen as a concession to Mau Mau , Baring turned instead in 1953 to Roger Swynnerton , Kenya 's assistant director of agriculture . The primary goal of the Swynnerton Plan was the creation of family holdings large enough to keep families self - sufficient in food and to enable them to practise alternate husbandry , which would generate a cash income . The projected costs of the Swynnerton Plan were too high for the cash - strapped colonial government , so Baring tweaked repatriation and augmented the Swynnerton Plan with plans for a massive expansion of the Pipeline coupled with a system of work camps to make use of detainee labour . All Kikuyu employed for public works projects would now be employed on Swynnerton 's poor - relief programmes , as would many detainees in the work camps . Detention programme ( edit ) Further information : List of British Detention Camps during the Mau Mau Uprising It would be difficult to argue that the colonial government envisioned its own version of a gulag when the Emergency first started . Colonial officials in Kenya and Britain all believed that Mau Mau would be over in less than three months . `` '' -- Caroline Elkins When the mass deportations of Kikuyu to the reserves began in 1953 , Baring and Erskine ordered all Mau Mau suspects to be screened . Of the scores of screening camps which sprang up , only fifteen were officially sanctioned by the colonial government . Larger detention camps were divided into compounds . The screening centres were staffed by settlers who had been appointed temporary district - officers by Baring . Thomas Askwith , the official tasked with designing the British ' detention and rehabilitation ' programme during the summer and autumn of 1953 , termed his system the Pipeline . The British did not initially conceive of rehabilitating Mau Mau suspects through brute force and other ill - treatment -- Askwith 's final plan , submitted to Baring in October 1953 , was intended as `` a complete blueprint for winning the war against Mau Mau using socioeconomic and civic reform . '' What developed , however , has been described as a British gulag . The Pipeline operated a white - grey - black classification system : ' whites ' were cooperative detainees , and were repatriated back to the reserves ; ' greys ' had been oathed but were reasonably compliant , and were moved down the Pipeline to works camps in their local districts before release ; and ' blacks ' were the so - called ' hard core ' of Mau Mau . These were moved up the Pipeline to special detention camps . Thus a detainee 's position in Pipeline was a straightforward reflection of how cooperative the Pipeline personnel deemed her or him to be . Cooperation was itself defined in terms of a detainee 's readiness to confess their Mau Mau oath . Detainees were screened and re-screened for confessions and intelligence , then re-classified accordingly . ( T ) here is something peculiarly chilling about the way colonial officials behaved , most notoriously but not only in Kenya , within a decade of the liberation of the ( Nazi ) concentration camps and the return of thousands of emaciated British prisoners of war from the Pacific . One courageous judge in Nairobi explicitly drew the parallel : Kenya 's Belsen , he called one camp . `` '' -- Guardian Editorial , 11 April 2011 A detainee 's journey between two locations along the Pipeline could sometimes last days . During transit , there was frequently little or no food and water provided , and seldom any sanitation . Once in camp , talking was forbidden outside the detainees ' accommodation huts , though improvised communication was rife . Such communication included propaganda and disinformation , which went by such names as the Kinongo Times , designed to encourage fellow detainees not to give up hope and so to minimise the number of those who confessed their oath and cooperated with camp authorities . Forced labour was performed by detainees on projects like the thirty - seven - mile - long South Yatta irrigation furrow . Family outside and other considerations led many detainees to confess . During the first year after Operation Anvil , colonial authorities had little success in forcing detainees to cooperate . Camps and compounds were overcrowded , forced - labour systems were not yet perfected , screening teams were not fully coordinated , and the use of torture was not yet systematised . This failure was partly due to the lack of manpower and resources , as well as the vast numbers of detainees . Officials could scarcely process them all , let alone get them to confess their oaths . Assessing the situation in the summer of 1955 , Alan Lennox - Boyd wrote of his `` fear that the net figure of detainees may still be rising . If so the outlook is grim . '' Black markets flourished during this period , with the native Kenyan guards helping to facilitate trading . It was possible for detainees to bribe guards in order to obtain items or stay punishment . ( T ) he horror of some of the so - called Screening Camps now present a state of affairs so deplorable that they should be investigated without delay , so that the ever increasing allegations of inhumanity and disregard of the rights of the African citizen are dealt with and so that the Government will have no reason to be ashamed of the acts which are done in its own name by its own servants . `` '' -- Letter from Police Commissioner Arthur Young to Governor Evelyn Baring , 22 November 1954 Interrogations and confessions ( edit ) By late 1955 , however , the Pipeline had become a fully operational , well - organised system . Guards were regularly shifted around the Pipeline too in order to prevent relationships developing with detainees and so undercut the black markets , and inducements and punishments became better at discouraging fraternising with the enemy . The grinding nature of the improved detention and interrogation regimen began to produce results . Most detainees confessed , and the system produced ever greater numbers of spies and informers within the camps , while others switched sides in a more open , official fashion , leaving detention behind to take an active role in interrogations , even sometimes administering beatings . The most famous example of side - switching was Peter Muigai Kenyatta -- Jomo Kenyatta 's son -- who , after confessing , joined screeners at Athi River Camp , later travelling throughout the Pipeline to assist in interrogations . Suspected informers and spies within a camp were treated in the time - honoured Mau Mau fashion : the preferred method of execution was strangulation then mutilation : `` It was just like in the days before our detention '' , explained one Mau Mau member later . `` We did not have our own jails to hold an informant in , so we would strangle him and then cut his tongue out . '' The end of 1955 also saw screeners being given a freer hand in interrogation , and harsher conditions than straightforward confession were imposed on detainees before they were deemed ' cooperative ' and eligible for final release . In a half - circle against the reed walls of the enclosure stand eight young , African women . There 's neither hate nor apprehension in their gaze . It 's like a talk in the headmistress 's study ; a headmistress who is firm but kindly . `` '' -- A contemporary BBC - description of screening While oathing , for practical reasons , within the Pipeline was reduced to an absolute minimum , as many new initiates as possible were oathed . A newcomer who refused to take the oath often faced the same fate as a recalcitrant outside the camps : they were murdered . `` The detainees would strangle them with their blankets or , using blades fashioned from the corrugated - iron roofs of some of the barracks , would slit their throats '' , writes Elkins . The camp authorities ' preferred method of capital punishment was public hanging . Commandants were told to clamp down hard on intra-camp oathing , with several commandants hanging anyone suspected of administering oaths . Even as the Pipeline became more sophisticated , detainees still organised themselves within it , setting up committees and selecting leaders for their camps , as well as deciding on their own `` rules to live by '' . Perhaps the most famous compound leader was Josiah Mwangi Kariuki . Punishments for violating the `` rules to live by '' could be severe . European missionaries and native Kenyan Christians played their part by visiting camps to evangelise and encourage compliance with the colonial authorities , providing intelligence , and sometimes even assisting in interrogation . Detainees regarded such preachers with nothing but contempt . The number of cases of pulmonary tuberculosis which is being disclosed in Prison and Detention Camps is causing some embarrassment . `` '' -- Memorandum to Commissioner of Prisons John ' Taxi ' Lewis from Kenya 's Director of Medical Services , 18 May 1954 The lack of decent sanitation in the camps meant that epidemics of diseases such as typhoid swept through them . Official medical reports detailing the shortcomings of the camps and their recommendations were ignored , and the conditions being endured by detainees were lied about and denied . A British rehabilitation officer found in 1954 that detainees from Manyani were in `` shocking health '' , many of them suffering from malnutrition , while Langata and GilGil were eventually closed in April 1955 because , as the colonial government put it , `` they were unfit to hold Kikuyu ... for medical epidemiological reasons '' . While the Pipeline was primarily designed for adult males , a few thousand women and young girls were detained at an all - women camp at Kamiti , as well as a number of unaccompanied young children . Dozens of babies were born to women in captivity : `` We really do need these cloths for the children as it is impossible to keep them clean and tidy while dressed on dirty pieces of sacking and blanket '' , wrote one colonial officer . Wamumu Camp was set up solely for all the unaccompanied boys in the Pipeline , though hundreds , maybe thousands , of boys moved around the adult parts of the Pipeline . Works camps ( edit ) Short rations , overwork , brutality , humiliating and disgusting treatment and flogging -- all in violation of the United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights . `` '' -- One colonial officer 's description of British works camps There were originally two types of works camps envisioned by Baring : the first type were based in Kikuyu districts with the stated purpose of achieving the Swynnerton Plan ; the second were punitive camps , designed for the 30,000 Mau Mau suspects who were deemed unfit to return to the reserves . These forced - labour camps provided a much needed source of labour to continue the colony 's infrastructure development . Colonial officers also saw the second sort of works camps as a way of ensuring that any confession was legitimate and as a final opportunity to extract intelligence . Probably the worst works camp to have been sent to was the one run out of Embakasi Prison , for Embakasi was responsible for the Embakasi Airport , the construction of which was demanded to be finished before the Emergency came to an end . The airport was a massive project with an unquenchable thirst for labour , and the time pressures ensured the detainees ' forced labour was especially hard . Villagisation programme ( edit ) At the end of 1953 , the Administration were faced with the serious problem of the concealment of terrorists and supply of food to them . This was widespread and , owing to the scattered nature of the homesteads , fear of detection was negligible ; so , in the first instance , the inhabitants of those areas were made to build and live in concentrated villages . This first step had to be taken speedily , somewhat to the detriment of usual health measures and was definitely a punitive short - term measure . `` '' -- District Commissioner of Nyeri If military operations in the forests and Operation Anvil were the first two phases of Mau Mau 's defeat , Erskine expressed the need and his desire for a third and final phase : cut off all the militants ' support in the reserves . The means to this terminal end was originally suggested by the man brought in by the colonial government to an ethnopsychiatric ' diagnosis ' of the uprising , JC Carothers : he advocated a Kenyan version of the villagisation programmes that the British were already using in places like Malaya . So it was that in June 1954 , the War Council took the decision to undertake a full - scale forced - resettlement programme of Kiambu , Nyeri , Murang'a and Embu Districts to cut off Mau Mau 's supply lines . Within eighteen months , 1,050,899 Kikuyu in the reserves were inside 804 villages consisting of some 230,000 huts . The government termed them `` protected villages '' , purportedly to be built along `` the same lines as the villages in the North of England '' , though the term was actually a `` euphemism ( ) for the fact that hundreds of thousands of civilians were corralled , often against their will , into settlements behind barbed - wire fences and watch towers . '' While some of these villages were to protect loyalist Kikuyu , `` most were little more than concentration camps to punish Mau Mau sympathizers . '' The villagisation programme was the coup de grâce for Mau Mau . By the end of the following summer , Lieutenant General Lathbury no longer needed Lincoln bombers for raids because of a lack of targets , and , by late 1955 , Lathbury felt so sure of final victory that he reduced army forces to almost pre-Mau Mau levels . He noted , however , that the British should have `` no illusions about the future . Mau Mau has not been cured : it has been suppressed . The thousands who have spent a long time in detention must have been embittered by it . Nationalism is still a very potent force and the African will pursue his aim by other means . Kenya is in for a very tricky political future . '' Whilst they ( the Kikuyu ) could not be expected to take kindly at first to a departure from their traditional way of life , such as living in villages , they need and desire to be told just what to do . `` '' -- Council of Kenya - Colony 's Ministers , July 1954 The government 's public relations officer , Granville Roberts , presented villagisation as a good opportunity for rehabilitation , particularly of women and children , but it was , in fact , first and foremost designed to break Mau Mau and protect loyalist Kikuyu , a fact reflected in the extremely limited resources made available to the Rehabilitation and Community Development Department . Refusal to move could be punished with the destruction of property and livestock , and the roofs were usually ripped off of homes whose occupants demonstrated reluctance . Villagisation also solved the practical and financial problems associated with a further , massive expansion of the Pipeline programme , and the removal of people from their land hugely assisted the enaction of Swynnerton Plan . The villages were surrounded by deep , spike - bottomed trenches and barbed wire , and the villagers themselves were watched over by members of the Home Guard , often neighbours and relatives . In short , rewards or collective punishments such as curfews could be served much more readily after villagisation , and this quickly broke Mau Mau 's passive wing . Though there were degrees of difference between the villages , the overall conditions engendered by villagisation meant that , by early 1955 , districts began reporting starvation and malnutrition . One provincial commissioner blamed child hunger on parents deliberately withholding food , saying the latter were aware of the `` propaganda value of apparent malnutrition '' . From the health point of view , I regard villagisation as being exceedingly dangerous and we are already starting to reap the benefits . `` '' -- Meru 's Dictrict Commissioner , 6 November 1954 , four months after the institution of villagisation The Red Cross helped mitigate the food shortages , but even they were told to prioritise loyalist areas . The Baring government 's medical department issued reports about `` the alarming number of deaths occurring amongst children in the ' punitive ' villages '' , and the `` political '' prioritisation of Red Cross relief . One of the colony 's ministers blamed the `` bad spots '' in Central Province on the mothers of the children for `` not realis ( ing ) the great importance of proteins '' , and one former missionary reported that it `` was terribly pitiful how many of the children and the older Kikuyu were dying . They were so emaciated and so very susceptible to any kind of disease that came along '' . Of the 50,000 deaths which John Blacker attributed to the Emergency , half were children under the age of ten . The lack of food did not just affect the children , of course . The Overseas Branch of the British Red Cross commented on the `` women who , from progressive undernourishment , had been unable to carry on with their work '' . Disease prevention was not helped by the colony 's policy of returning sick detainees to receive treatment in the reserves , though the reserves ' medical services were virtually non-existent , as Baring himself noted after a tour of some villages in June 1956 . Political and Social concessions by the British ( edit ) Kenyans were granted nearly all of the demands made by the KAU in 1951 . On 18 January 1955 , the Governor - General of Kenya , Evelyn Baring , offered an amnesty to Mau Mau activists . The offer was that they would not face prosecution for previous offences , but may still be detained . European settlers were appalled at the leniency of the offer . On 10 June 1955 with no response forthcoming , the offer of amnesty to the Mau Mau was revoked . In June 1956 , a programme of land reform increased the land holdings of the Kikuyu. . This was coupled with a relaxation of the ban on native Kenyans growing coffee , a primary cash crop . In the cities the colonial authorities decided to dispel tensions by raising urban wages , thereby strengthening the hand of moderate union organisations like the KFRTU . By 1956 , the British had granted direct election of native Kenyan members of the Legislative Assembly , followed shortly thereafter by an increase in the number of local seats to fourteen . A Parliamentary conference in January 1960 indicated that the British would accept `` one person -- one vote '' majority rule . Deaths ( edit ) The uprising was , in David Anderson 's words , `` a story of atrocity and excess on both sides , a dirty war from which no one emerged with much pride , and certainly no glory . '' Historian Daniel Goldhagen describes the campaign against the Mau Mau as an example of eliminationism , though this verdict has been fiercely criticised . The total number of deaths attributable to the Emergency has been a source of dispute : Caroline Elkins claims it is `` tens of thousands , perhaps hundreds of thousands '' . Elkins numbers have been challenged by the British demographer John Blacker , who demonstrated in detail that her numbers were overestimated , explaining that Elkins ' figure of 300,000 deaths `` implies that perhaps half of the adult male population would have been wiped out -- yet the censuses of 1962 and 1969 show no evidence of this -- the age - sex pyramids for the Kikuyu districts do not even show indentations . '' His study dealt directly with Elkins ' claim that `` somewhere between 130,000 and 300,000 Kikuyu are unaccounted for '' at the 1962 census , and was read by both David Anderson and John Lonsdale prior to publication . Half of Blacker 's own estimate of 50,000 comprises children under the age of ten . David Elstein has noted that leading authorities on Africa have taken issue with parts of Elkins ' study , in particular her mortality figures : `` The senior British historian of Kenya , John Lonsdale , whom Elkins thanks profusely in her book as ' the most gifted scholar I know ' , warned her to place no reliance on anecdotal sources , and regards her statistical analysis -- for which she cites him as one of three advisors -- as ' frankly incredible ' . '' The British possibly killed in excess of 20,000 Mau Mau militants , but in some ways more notable is the smaller number of Mau Mau suspects dealt with by capital punishment : by the end of the Emergency , the total was 1,090 . At no other time or place in the British empire was capital punishment dispensed so liberally -- the total is more than double the number executed by the French in Algeria . War crimes ( edit ) Main article : List of war crimes § Mau Mau uprising Mau Mau fighters , ... contrary to African customs and values , assaulted old people , women and children . The horrors they practiced included the following : decapitation and general mutilation of civilians , torture before murder , bodies bound up in sacks and dropped in wells , burning the victims alive , gouging out of eyes , splitting open the stomachs of pregnant women . No war can justify such gruesome actions . In man 's inhumanity to man , there is no race distinction . The Africans were practicing it on themselves . There was no reason and no restraint on both sides . `` '' -- Bethwell Ogot War crimes have been broadly defined by the Nuremberg principles as `` violations of the laws or customs of war '' , which includes massacres , bombings of civilian targets , terrorism , mutilation , torture , and murder of detainees and prisoners of war . Additional common crimes include theft , arson , and the destruction of property not warranted by military necessity . British war crimes ( edit ) See also : British war crimes In order to fight the Mau Mau insurgency during the conflict , British troops suspended civil liberties in Kenya . In response to the rebellion , many Kikuyu were relocated . Between 320,000 - 450,000 of them were moved into concentration camps . Most of the remainder -- more than a million -- were held in `` enclosed villages '' . Although some were Mau Mau guerrillas , many were victims of collective punishment that colonial authorities imposed on large areas of the country . Thousands suffered beatings and sexual assaults during `` screenings '' intended to extract information about the Mau Mau threat . Later , prisoners suffered even worse mistreatment in an attempt to force them to renounce their allegiance to the insurgency and to obey commands . Significant numbers were murdered . Prisoners were questioned with the help of `` slicing off ears , boring holes in eardrums , flogging until death , pouring paraffin over suspects who were then set alight , and burning eardrums with lit cigarettes '' . Castration by British troops and denying access to medical aid to the detainees were also widespread and common . Among the detainees who suffered severe mistreatment was Hussein Onyango Obama , the grandfather of Barack Obama , the former President of the United States . According to his widow , British soldiers forced pins into his fingernails and buttocks and squeezed his testicles between metal rods and two others were castrated . We knew the slow method of torture ( at the Mau Mau Investigation Center ) was worse than anything we could do . Special Branch there had a way of slowly electrocuting a Kuke -- they 'd rough up one for days . Once I went personally to drop off one gang member who needed special treatment . I stayed for a few hours to help the boys out , softening him up . Things got a little out of hand . By the time I cut his balls off , he had no ears , and his eyeball , the right one , I think , was hanging out of its socket . Too bad , he died before we got much out of him . `` '' One settler 's description of British interrogation In June 1957 , Eric Griffith - Jones , the attorney general of the British administration in Kenya , wrote to the governor , Evelyn Baring , 1st Baron Howick of Glendale , detailing the way the regime of abuse at the colony 's detention camps was being subtly altered . He said that the mistreatment of the detainees is `` distressingly reminiscent of conditions in Nazi Germany or Communist Russia '' . Despite this , he said that in order for abuse to remain legal , Mau Mau suspects must be beaten mainly on their upper body , `` vulnerable parts of the body should not be struck , particularly the spleen , liver or kidneys '' , and it was important that `` those who administer violence ... should remain collected , balanced and dispassionate '' . He also reminded the governor that `` If we are going to sin '' , he wrote , `` we must sin quietly . '' Chuka massacre ( edit ) The Chuka Massacre , which happened in Chuka , Kenya , was perpetrated by members of the King 's African Rifles B Company in June 1953 with 20 unarmed people killed during the Mau Mau uprising . Members of the 5th KAR B Company entered the Chuka area on 13 June 1953 , to flush out rebels suspected of hiding in the nearby forests . Over the next few days , the regiment had captured and executed 20 people suspected of being Mau Mau fighters for unknown reasons . The people executed belonged to the Kikuyu Home Guard -- a loyalist militia recruited by the British to fight the guerrillas . Nobody ever stood trial for the massacre . Hola massacre ( edit ) The Hola massacre was an incident during the conflict in Kenya against British colonial rule at a colonial detention camp in Hola , Kenya . By January 1959 , the camp had a population of 506 detainees , of whom 127 were held in a secluded `` closed camp '' . This more remote camp near Garissa , eastern Kenya , was reserved for the most uncooperative of the detainees . They often refused , even when threats of force were made , to join in the colonial `` rehabilitation process '' or perform manual labour or obey colonial orders . The camp commandant outlined a plan that would force 88 of the detainees to bend to work . On 3 March 1959 , the camp commandant put this plan into action -- as a result , 11 detainees were clubbed to death by guards . 77 surviving detainees sustained serious permanent injuries . The British government accepts that the colonial administration tortured detainees , but denies liability . Mau Mau war crimes ( edit ) Lari massacres ( edit ) Main article : Lari massacre Mau Mau militants were guilty of numerous war crimes . The most notorious was their attack on the settlement of Lari , on the night of 25 -- 26 March 1953 , in which they herded men , women and children into huts and set fire to them , hacking down with machetes anyone who attempted escape , before throwing them back into the burning huts . The attack at Lari was so extreme that `` African policemen who saw the bodies of the victims ... were physically sick and said ' These people are animals . If I see one now I shall shoot with the greatest eagerness ' '' , and it `` even shocked many Mau Mau supporters , some of whom would subsequently try to excuse the attack as ' a mistake ' '' . A retaliatory massacre was immediately perpetrated by Kenyan security forces who were partially overseen by British commanders . Official estimates place the death toll from the first Lari massacre at 74 , and the second at 150 , though neither of these figures account for those who ' disappeared ' . Whatever the actual number of victims , `` ( t ) he grim truth was that , for every person who died in Lari 's first massacre , at least two more were killed in retaliation in the second . '' Aside from the Lari massacres , Kikuyu were also tortured , mutilated and murdered by Mau Mau on many other occasions . Mau Mau racked up 1,819 murders of their fellow native Kenyans , though again this number excludes the many additional hundreds who ' disappeared ' , whose bodies were never found . Thirty - two European and twenty - six Asian civilians were also murdered by Mau Mau militants , with similar numbers wounded . The best known European victim was Michael Ruck , aged six , who was hacked to death with pangas along with his parents , Roger and Esme , and one of the Rucks ' farm workers , Muthura Nagahu , who had tried to help the family . Newspapers in Kenya and abroad published graphic murder details , including images of young Michael with bloodied teddy bears and trains strewn on his bedroom floor . ( E ) lectric shock was widely used , as well as cigarettes and fire . Bottles ( often broken ) , gun barrels , knives , snakes , vermin , and hot eggs were thrust up men 's rectums and women 's vaginas . The screening teams whipped , shot , burned and mutilated Mau Mau suspects , ostensibly to gather intelligence for military operations and as court evidence . `` '' -- Caroline Elkins In 1952 , the poisonous latex of the African milk bush was used by members of Mau Mau to kill cattle in an incident of biological warfare . Legacy ( edit ) Although Mau Mau was effectively crushed by the end of 1956 , it was not until the First Lancaster House Conference , in January 1960 , that native Kenyan majority rule was established and the period of colonial transition to independence initiated . Before the conference , it was anticipated by both native Kenyan and European leaders that Kenya was set for a European - dominated multi-racial government . There is continuing debate about Mau Mau 's and the rebellion 's effects on decolonisation and on Kenya after independence . Regarding decolonisation , the most common view is that Kenya 's independence came about as a result of the British government 's deciding that a continuance of colonial rule would entail a greater use of force than that which the British public would tolerate . Nissimi argues , though , that such a view fails to `` acknowledge the time that elapsed until the rebellion 's influence actually took effect ( and does not ) explain why the same liberal tendencies failed to stop the dirty war the British conducted against the Mau Mau in Kenya while it was raging on . '' Others contend that , as the 1950s progressed , nationalist intransigence increasingly rendered official plans for political development irrelevant , meaning that after the mid-1950s British policy increasingly accepted Kenyan nationalism and moved to co-opt its leaders and organisations into collaboration . It has been argued that the conflict helped set the stage for Kenyan independence in December 1963 , or at least secured the prospect of Black - majority rule once the British left . However , this is disputed and other sources downplay the contribution of Mau Mau to decolonisation . On 12 September 2015 , the British government unveiled a Mau Mau memorial statue in Nairobi 's Uhuru Park that it had funded `` as a symbol of reconciliation between the British government , the Mau Mau , and all those who suffered '' . This followed a June 2013 decision by Britain to compensate more than 5,000 Kenyans it tortured and abused during the Mau Mau insurgency . Compensation claims ( edit ) In 1999 , a collection of former fighters calling themselves the Mau Mau Original Group announced they would attempt a £ 5 billion claim against the UK on behalf of hundreds of thousands of Kenyans for ill - treatment they said they suffered during the rebellion , though nothing came of it . In November 2002 , the Mau Mau Trust -- a welfare group for former members of the movement -- announced it would attempt to sue the British government for widespread human rights violations it said were committed against its members . Until September 2003 , the Mau Mau movement was banned . Once the ban was removed , former Mau Mau members who had been castrated or otherwise tortured were supported by the Kenya Human Rights Commission , in particular by the Commission 's George Morara , in their attempt to take on the British government ; their lawyers had amassed 6,000 depositions regarding human rights abuses by late 2002 . 42 potential claimants were interviewed from whom five were chosen to prosecute a test case ; one of the five , Susan Ciong'ombe Ngondi , has since died . The remaining four test claimants are : Ndiku Mutua , who was castrated ; Paulo Muoka Nzili , who was castrated ; Jane Muthoni Mara , who was subjected to sexual assault that included having bottles filled with boiling water pushed up her vagina ; and Wambugu Wa Nyingi , who survived the Hola massacre . Ben Macintyre of The Times said of the legal case : `` Opponents of these proceedings have pointed out , rightly , that the Mau Mau was a brutal terrorist force , guilty of the most dreadful atrocities . Yet only one of the claimants is of that stamp -- Mr Nzili . He has admitted taking the Mau Mau oath and said that all he did was to ferry food to the fighters in the forest . None has been accused , let alone convicted , of any crime . '' Upon publication of Caroline Elkins ' Imperial Reckoning in 2005 , Kenya called for an apology from the UK for atrocities committed during the 1950s . The British government claimed the issue was the responsibility of the Kenyan government on the grounds of `` state succession '' for former colonies , relying on an obscure legal precedent relating to Patagonian toothfish and the declaration of martial law in Jamaica in 1860 . In July 2011 , `` George Morara strode down the corridor and into a crowded little room ( in Nairobi ) where 30 elderly Kenyans sat hunched together around a table clutching cups of hot tea and sharing plates of biscuits . ' I have good news from London ' , he announced . ' We have won the first part of the battle ! ' At once , the room erupted in cheers . '' The good news was that a British judge had ruled that the Kenyans could sue the British government for their torture . Morara said that , if the first test cases succeeded , perhaps 30,000 others would file similar complaints of torture . Explaining his decision , Mr Justice McCombe said the claimants had an `` arguable case '' , and added : It may well be thought strange , or perhaps even dishonourable , that a legal system which will not in any circumstances admit into its proceedings evidence obtained by torture should yet refuse to entertain a claim against the Government in its own jurisdiction for that Government 's allegedly negligent failure to prevent torture which it had the means to prevent . Furthermore , resort to technicality ... to rule such a claim out of court appears particularly misplaced . A Times editorial noted with satisfaction that `` Mr Justice McCombe told the FCO , in effect , to get lost ... Though the arguments against reopening very old wounds are seductive , they fail morally . There are living claimants and it most certainly was not their fault that the documentary evidence that seems to support their claims was for so long ' lost ' in the governmental filing system . '' If we are going to sin , we must sin quietly . `` '' -- Kenyan Attorney - General Eric Griffith - Jones Main article : Foreign and Commonwealth Office migrated archives During the course of the Mau Mau legal battle in London , a large amount of what was stated to be formerly lost Foreign Office archival material was finally brought to light , while yet more was discovered to be missing . The files , known as migrated archives , provided details of British human rights abuses ( torture , rape , execution ) in its former colonies during the final stages of empire , including during Mau Mau , and even after decolonisation . Regarding the Mau Mau Uprising , the records included confirmation of `` the extent of the violence inflicted on suspected Mau Mau rebels '' in British detention camps documented in Caroline Elkins ' study . Numerous allegations of murder and rape by British military personnel are recorded in the files , including an incident where a native Kenyan baby was `` burnt to death '' , the `` defilement of a young girl '' , and a soldier in Royal Irish Fusiliers who killed `` in cold blood two people who had been his captives for over 12 hours '' . Baring himself was aware of the `` extreme brutality '' of the sometimes - lethal torture meted out -- which included `` most drastic '' beatings , solitary confinement , starvation , castration , whipping , burning , rape , sodomy , and forceful insertion of objects into orifices -- but took no action . Baring 's inaction was despite the urging of people like Arthur Young , Commissioner of Police for Kenya for less than eight months of 1954 before he resigned in protest , that `` the horror of some of the ( camps ) should be investigated without delay '' . In February 1956 , a provincial commissioner in Kenya , `` Monkey '' Johnson , wrote to Attorney General Reginald Manningham - Buller urging him to block any enquiry into the methods used against Mau Mau : `` It would now appear that each and every one of us , from the Governor downwards , may be in danger of removal from public service by a commission of enquiry as a result of enquiries made by the CID . '' The April 2012 release also included detailed accounts of the policy of seizing livestock from Kenyans suspected of supporting Mau Mau rebels . Main criticism we shall have to meet is that ' Cowan plan ' which was approved by Government contained instructions which in effect authorised unlawful use of violence against detainees . `` '' -- Colonial Secretary Alan Lennox - Boyd Commenting on the papers , David Anderson stated that the `` documents were hidden away to protect the guilty '' , and `` that the extent of abuse now being revealed is truly disturbing '' . `` Everything that could happen did happen . Allegations about beatings and violence were widespread . Basically you could get away with murder . It was systematic '' , Anderson said . An example of this impunity is the case of eight colonial officials accused of having prisoners tortured to death going unpunished even after their actions were reported to London . Huw Bennett of King 's College London , who had worked with Anderson on the Chuka Massacre , said in a witness statement to the court that the new documents `` considerably strengthen '' the knowledge that the British Army were `` intimately involved '' with the colonial security forces , whom they knew were `` systematically abusing and torturing detainees in screening centres and detention camps '' . In April 2011 , lawyers for the Foreign and Commonwealth Office continued to maintain that there was no such policy . As early as November 1952 , however , military reports noted that `` ( t ) he Army has been used for carrying out certain functions that properly belonged to the Police , eg . searching of huts and screening of Africans '' , and British soldiers arrested and transferred Mau Mau suspects to camps where they were beaten and tortured until they confessed . Bennett said that `` the British Army retained ultimate operational control over all security forces throughout the Emergency '' , and that its military intelligence operation worked `` hand in glove '' with the Kenyan Special Branch `` including in screening and interrogations in centres and detention camps '' . The Kenyan government sent a letter to Hague insisting that the UK government was legally liable for the atrocities . The Foreign Office , however , reaffirmed its position that it was not , in fact , liable for colonial atrocities , and argued that the documents had not `` disappeared '' as part of a cover up . Nearly ten years before , in late 2002 , as the BBC aired a documentary detailing British human rights abuses committed during the rebellion and 6,000 depositions had been taken for the legal case , former district colonial officer John Nottingham had expressed concern that compensation be paid soon , since most victims were in their 80s and would soon pass away . He told the BBC : `` What went on in the Kenya camps and villages was brutal , savage torture . It is time that the mockery of justice that was perpetrated in this country at that time , should be , must be righted . I feel ashamed to have come from a Britain that did what it did here ( in Kenya ) . '' Thirteen boxes of `` top secret '' Kenya files are still missing . In October 2012 , Mr Justice McCombe granted the surviving elderly test claimants the right to sue the UK for damages . The UK government then opted for what the claimants ' lawyers called the `` morally repugnant '' decision to appeal McCombe 's ruling . In May 2013 , it was reported that the appeal was on hold while the UK government held compensation negotiations with the claimants . Mau Mau status in Kenya ( edit ) Partisan questions about the Mau Mau war have ... echoed round Kenya 's political arena during 40 years of independence . How historically necessary was Mau Mau ? Did its secretive violence alone have the power to destroy white supremacy ? or did it merely sow discord within a mass nationalism that -- for all the failings of the Kenya African Union ( KAU ) -- was bound to win power in the end ? Did Mau Mau aim at freedom for all Kenyans ? or did moderate , constitutional politicians rescue that pluralist prize from the jaws of its ethnic chauvinism ? Has the self - sacrificial victory of the poor been unjustly forgotten , and appropriated by the rich ? or are Mau Mau 's defeats and divisions best buried in oblivion ? `` '' -- John Lonsdale It is often argued that Mau Mau was suppressed as a subject for public discussion in Kenya during the periods under Kenyatta and Daniel arap Moi because of the key positions and influential presence of some loyalists in government , business and other elite sectors of Kenyan society post-1963 . Unsurprisingly , during this same period opposition groups tactically embraced the Mau Mau rebellion . Members of Mau Mau are currently recognised by the Kenyan Government as freedom - independence heroes and heroines who sacrificed their lives in order to free Kenyans from colonial rule . Since 2010 , Mashujaa Day ( Heroes Day ) has been marked annually on 20 October ( the same day Baring signed the Emergency order ) . According to the Kenyan Government , Mashujaa Day will be a time for Kenyans to remember and honour Mau Mau and other Kenyans who participated in the independence struggle . Mashujaa Day will replace Kenyatta Day ; the latter has until now also been held on 20 October . In 2001 , the Kenyan Government announced that important Mau Mau sites were to be turned into national monuments . This official celebration of Mau Mau is in marked contrast to a post-colonial norm of Kenyan governments rejection of the Mau Mau as a symbol of national liberation . Such a turnabout has attracted criticism of government manipulation of the Mau Mau uprising for political ends . We are determined to have independence in peace , and we shall not allow hooligans to rule Kenya . We must have no hatred towards one another . Mau Mau was a disease which had been eradicated , and must never be remembered again . `` '' -- Speech by Jomo Kenyatta , April 1963 See also ( edit ) The Black Man 's Land Trilogy , series of films on Kenya including Part Two , `` Mau Mau '' , described as `` a political analysis of Africa 's first modern guerrilla war and the myths that still surround it '' . Ian Henderson Dedan Kimathi , leader of the Mau Mau Muthoni wa Kirima Frank Kitson , author of the book Gangs and Counter-gangs Musa Mwariama Kurito ole Kisio Mathenge Robert Ruark , author of the novels Something of Value and Uhuru Weep Not , Child Insurgency : Mungiki , contemporary Kikuyu insurgency within Kenya General : History of Kenya British military history Notes ( edit ) The name Kenya Land and Freedom Army is sometimes heard in connection with Mau Mau . KLFA was the name that Dedan Kimathi used for a coordinating body which he tried to set up for Mau Mau . It was also the name of another militant group that sprang up briefly in the spring of 1960 ; the group was broken up during a brief operation from 26 March to 30 April . Between 1895 and 1920 , Kenya was formally known as British East Africa Protectorate ; between 1920 and 1963 , as Kenya Colony and Protectorate . `` Squatter or resident labourers are those who reside with their families on European farms usually for the purpose of work for the owners ... Contract labourers are those who sign a contract of service before a magistrate , for periods varying from three to twelve months . Casual labourers leave their reserves to engage themselves to European employers for any period from one day upwards . '' In return for his services , a squatter was entitled to use some of the settler 's land for cultivation and grazing . Contract and casual workers are together referred to as migratory labourers , in distinction to the permanent presence of the squatters on farms . The phenomenon of squatters arose in response to the complementary difficulties of Europeans in finding labourers and of Africans in gaining access to arable and grazing land . During the Emergency , screening was the term used by colonial authorities to mean the interrogation of a Mau Mau suspect . The alleged member or sympathiser of Mau Mau would be interrogated in order to obtain an admission of guilt -- specifically , a confession that they had taken the Mau Mau oath -- as well as for intelligence .

who declared state of emergency in kenya in 1952
[ "Aside from military operations against Mau Mau fighters in the forests, the British attempt to defeat the movement broadly came in two stages: the first, relatively limited in scope, came during the period in which they had still failed to accept the seriousness of the revolt; the second came afterwards. During the first stage, the British tried to decapitate the movement by declaring a State of Emergency before arresting 180 alleged Mau Mau leaders (see Operation Jock Scott below) and subjecting six of them to a show trial (the Kapenguria Six); the second stage began in earnest in 1954, when they undertook a series of major economic, military and penal initiatives.[citation needed]\n" ]

List of Justices of the Supreme Court of the United States

Its membership , as set by the Judiciary Act of 1869 , consists of the Chief Justice of the United States and eight associate justices , any six of whom would constitute a quorum . Justices are nominated by the President of the United States and appointed after confirmation by the United States Senate . Justices of the Supreme Court have life tenure and receive a salary which is set at $255,500 per year for the chief justice and at $244,400 per year for each associate justice as of 2014 . The Supreme Court was created in 1789 by Article III of the United States Constitution , which stipulated that the `` judicial Power of the United States , shall be vested in one supreme Court '' together with any lower courts Congress may establish . Congress organized the Court that year with the passage of the Judiciary Act of 1789 . It specified the Court 's original and appellate jurisdiction , created thirteen judicial districts , and fixed the number of justices at six ( one chief justice and five associate justices ) . Since 1789 , Congress has occasionally altered the size of the Supreme Court , historically in response to the country 's own expansion in size . An 1801 act would have decreased the Court 's size to five members upon its next vacancy . However , an 1802 act negated the effects of the 1801 act upon the Court before any such vacancy occurred , maintaining the Court 's size at six members . Later legislation increased its size to seven members in 1807 , to nine in 1837 , and to ten in 1863 . An 1866 act was to have reduced the Court 's size from ten members to seven upon its next three vacancies , and two vacancies did occur during this period . However , before a third vacancy occurred , the Judiciary Act of 1869 intervened , restoring the Court 's size to nine members , where it has remained since . While the justices of the Supreme Court are appointed for life , many have retired or resigned . Beginning in the early 20th century , many justices who left the Court voluntarily did so by retiring from the Court without leaving the federal judiciary altogether . A retired justice , according to the United States Code , is no longer a member of the Supreme Court , but remains eligible to serve by designation as a judge of a U.S. Court of Appeals or District Court , and many retired justices have served in these capacities . Historically , the average length of service on the Court has been less than 15 years . However , since 1970 the average length of service has increased to about 26 years .

The university hospital replaced the former , Norfolk and Norwich Hospital , which was founded in 1771 , and the West Norwich Hospital . The Norfolk and Norwich University Hospital was built under the Private Finance Initiative ( PFI ) , and opened in late 2001 : it has 1237 acute beds and offers a wide range of NHS acute health services plus private patient facilities . It is one of the largest hospitals in the United Kingdom in terms of in - patient capacity . The hospital is part of the Norfolk and Norwich University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust . NNUH was the first new NHS teaching hospital built in England for more than 30 years and the hospital trust is a joint venture partner with the University of East Anglia . The hospital is a teaching centre for nurses ( adult and children 's ) , midwives , doctors , therapists and operating department practitioners . It hosts the Norwich GP speciality training scheme . Contents ( hide ) 1 Construction 2 Development 3 Controversy 4 Healthcare associated infections and black alerts 5 People and NNUH 6 See also 7 References 8 External links Construction ( edit ) On 11 January 1998 , Prime Minister Tony Blair announced the go - ahead for the construction of a £ 214 million , 809 bed , new hospital in a broadcast from Tokyo on the BBC 's Breakfast with Frost show . Site work started the following day ( 12 January 1998 ) . The project was the first large PFI hospital scheme in the NHS . In July 2000 approval was given to extend the Norfolk and Norwich University Hospital with a second phase that included an additional 144 beds and took the project cost to £ 229 million . The Norfolk and Norwich University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust pays the private PFI Octagon consortium in the region of £ 41 million a year . In 2004 , the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants assessed the actual costs at £ 1.16 billion , or around five times the initial cost of £ 229 million . Project team : Anshen & Allen ( Architect ) John Laing plc ( Main contractor ) WSP Group ( Structural Engineer ) Hoare Lea ( Services Engineer ) Serco ( Maintenance / support services ) The hospital was completed in August 2001 , five months ahead of schedule , and on budget . The hospital won the Building Better Healthcare Award for Best Designed Hospital in September 2002 . The Norfolk and Norwich University Hospital was also highly commended in the Commission for Architecture and the Built Environment Prime Minister 's Better Public Building Award in 2002 . It is one of a small number of Accident and Emergency departments to benefit from Pearson Lloyd 's redesign - ' A Better A&E ' - which reduced aggression against hospital staff by 50 per cent . A system of environmental signage provides location - specific information for patients . Screens provide live information about how many cases are being handled and the current status of the A&E department . Development ( edit ) A £ 4.5 m radiotherapy cancer treatment unit , the Winterton Unit , at the Norfolk and Norwich University Hospital , was opened by the Duke of Gloucester in May 2014 . The unit is set to increase capacity at the Norfolk and Norwich University Hospital by 25pc . Controversy ( edit ) The controversial Private Finance Initiative was first introduced to the public sector under the Conservative government of John Major and the contract for NNUH , one of the first PFI hospitals , was signed in 1996 . The level of subsequent potential risks and costs borne by the public sector was thought by some critics of the deal to be unacceptably high . In 2006 Edward Leigh , Conservative Member of Parliament ( MP ) and chairman of the Public Accounts Committee , appropriated a famous Edward Heath quote ( originally used with reference to Tiny Rowland of Lonrho International ) to describe the Department of Health 's approach to a refinancing deal for the NNUH PFI : `` It is hard to escape the conclusion that the public sector staff managing the project were not up to the rough and tumble of negotiating refinancing proposals with the private sector ... The unacceptable face of capitalism . '' The hospital neighbours the constituency of South Norfolk MP Richard Bacon , also a member of the Public Accounts Committee . Mr. Bacon wrote about the financing of the hospital on his website ; `` The Department of Health would not allow the hospital to include a refinancing clause in the original contract . This meant the hospital had no right to receive any proceeds from the refinancing at all , let alone the 29 % share it eventually secured . And that right was only obtained by taking on huge extra potential liabilities . '' In 2006 / 07 , the trust projected a savings target of £ 14.8 million but recorded a surplus of £ 867,000 by the end of the same financial year . In 2007 , the Audit Commission 's `` Review of the NHS financial year 2006 / 07 '' reported that the trust was delivering the best financial management of any NHS Trust in the country In 2006 , the Public Accounts Committee released report into the PFI refinancing conducted by the private Octagon Healthcare consortium , of which Innisfree Ltd owns a quarter , involved in building the Norfolk and Norwich University Hospital of `` lining investors ' pockets '' and putting the trust at increased financial risk . The report noted that the consortium was receiving an over £ 80 million pound windfall from the deal , and the National Audit Office said that the windfall was the third it had uncovered after complaints from MPs and the public . The Consortium lengthened the NHS 's repayment term from 34 to 39 years , but raising their own rate of return from 16 to 60 per cent . Healthcare associated infections and black alerts ( edit ) Between 2002 and 2006 the hospital saw 65 patients die from Methicillin - resistant Staphylococcus aureus ( MRSA ) , making it one of the ten worst hospitals in the United Kingdom in terms of deaths from the superbug . In 2006 an outbreak of a community - acquired infection Methicillin - resistant Staphylococcus Aureus on the neonatal intensive care unit at the hospital , resulted in five babies carrying the organism and possibly contributing to the death of one baby . The hospital was placed on black alert in November 2007 when it ran out of beds for a time . Ambulances were forced to queue outside the building while non-urgent patients were discharged to free up beds and a major incident emergency plan implemented . In March 2011 several wards in the hospital were closed as a result of an outbreak of the community infection Norovirus . In 2011 , a Care Quality Commission inspection found that the hospital was in the moderate concern category with regards to nutritional screening . The inspection report stated `` People who use the service can be assured that they will be provided with respect , dignity and privacy by the staff during their stay in hospital . However , we observed that some improvements were needed '' . In March 2014 the N&N , Norfolk 's biggest hospital , marked two years of being MRSA free .

when was the norfolk and norwich hospital built
[ "The university hospital replaced the former, Norfolk and Norwich Hospital, which was founded in 1771, and the West Norwich Hospital. The Norfolk and Norwich University Hospital was built under the Private Finance Initiative (PFI), and opened in late 2001: it has 1237 acute beds and offers a wide range of NHS acute health services plus private patient facilities. It is one of the largest hospitals in the United Kingdom in terms of in-patient capacity. The hospital is part of the Norfolk and Norwich University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust." ]

Gregory House
Gregory House - wikipedia Gregory House Jump to : navigation , search For other uses , see Gregory House ( disambiguation ) . `` Doctor House '' redirects here . It is not to be confused with House doctor ( disambiguation ) . Gregory House , M.D. House character First appearance `` Pilot '' ( 1.01 ) Last appearance `` Everybody Dies '' ( 8.22 ) Created by David Shore Portrayed by Hugh Laurie Information Nickname ( s ) House Gender Male Occupation Head of the Department of Diagnostic Medicine Family John House ( legal father , deceased ) Blythe House ( mother ) Significant other ( s ) Stacy Warner ( ex-girlfriend prior to series ) Lisa Cuddy ( ex-girlfriend ) Dominika Petrova ( ex-wife ) Gregory House , M.D. , commonly referred to by his surname House , is the title character of the American medical drama series House . Created by David Shore and portrayed by English actor Hugh Laurie , he leads a team of diagnosticians as the Head of Diagnostic Medicine at the fictional Princeton - Plainsboro Teaching Hospital in Princeton , New Jersey ( based on the real - life Yale -- New Haven Hospital in New Haven , Connecticut ) . House 's character has been described as a misanthrope , cynic , narcissist , and curmudgeon , the last of which was named one of the top television words of 2005 in honor of the character . He is the only character to appear in all 177 episodes and , except for Wilson 's brief appearance , is the only regular character to appear in the season six premiere . In the series , the character 's unorthodox diagnostic approaches , radical therapeutic motives , and stalwart rationality have resulted in much conflict between him and his colleagues . House is also often portrayed as lacking sympathy for his patients , a practice that allots him time to solve pathological enigmas . The character is partly inspired by Sherlock Holmes . A portion of the show 's plot centers on House 's habitual use of Vicodin to manage pain stemming from a leg infarction involving his quadriceps muscle some years earlier , an injury that forces him to walk with a cane . This addiction is also one of the many parallels to Holmes , who was a habitual user of cocaine . Throughout the series ' run , the character received generally positive reviews and was included in several best lists . Tom Shales of The Washington Post called House `` the most electrifying character to hit television in years '' . For his portrayal , Laurie has won various awards , including two Golden Globe Awards for Best Actor in a Television Series -- Drama , two Screen Actors Guild Awards for Best Actor from Drama Series , two Satellite Awards for Best Actor in a Television Series -- Drama , two TCA Awards for Individual Achievement in Drama , and a total of six Primetime Emmy Award nominations for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Drama Series .

Lee Ermey and Diane Baker ) on June 11 , 1959 , or May 15 , 1959 . House is a `` military brat '' ; his father served as a Marine Corps aviator and transferred often to other bases during House 's childhood . House presumably picked up his affinity for languages during this period and shows a level of understanding of Spanish , Portuguese , Japanese , and Mandarin . One place in which his father was stationed was Egypt , where House developed a fascination with archaeology and treasure - hunting , which led him to keep his treasure - hunting tools well into adulthood . Another station was Japan , where , at age 14 , House discovered his vocation after a rock climbing incident with his friend . He witnessed the respect given to a buraku doctor who solved the case no other doctor could . He also spent some time in the Philippines , where he received dental surgery . House loves his mother but hates his father , who he claims has an `` insane moral compass '' , and deliberately attempts to avoid both parents . At one point , House tells a story of his parents leaving him with his grandmother , whose punishments constituted abuse . However , he later confesses it was his father who abused him . Due to this abuse , House never believed John House was his biological father ; at the age of 12 , he inferred that a friend of his family with the same birthmark as himself was his real father . In the season 5 episode `` Birthmarks '' , House discovers that his `` father '' was not his biological father after he ordered a DNA test that compared his DNA against John 's . After a second DNA test was performed in the season 8 episode `` Love Is Blind '' , House discovers the man he thought was his biological father , Thomas Bell , was not either . The identity of his real father remains unknown . House studied both as an undergraduate earning a BS in physics and a medical student at Johns Hopkins University . House first attended Johns Hopkins University as an undergraduate . Before fully committing to medicine as his discipline , he considered getting a Ph. D. in Physics , researching dark matter . He was accepted to the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine and excelled during his time there . He was a front runner for a prestigious and competitive internship at the Mayo Clinic ; however , another student , Philip Weber , caught him cheating , resulting in his expulsion from Johns Hopkins and rejection from the internship . While appealing his expulsion , he studied at the University of Michigan Medical School , and worked at a bookstore , where he met his future employer and love interest Lisa Cuddy ( Lisa Edelstein ) , with whom he shared a night when `` he gave her everything she asked for '' . After the appeal process , he was denied re-entry into Johns Hopkins . During a medical convention in New Orleans , House first saw his eventual best friend Dr. James Wilson ( Robert Sean Leonard ) . Wilson , who was going through his first divorce at the time , broke a mirror in frustration and started a bar fight after a man repeatedly played `` Leave a Tender Moment Alone '' on a jukebox . House paid for the damage , bailed him out , and hired an attorney to clear his name ( who failed to do so ) , starting their professional and personal relationship . House eventually became a Board - certified internist with a double specialty in infectious disease and nephrology . Approximately ten years before the beginning of the series , House entered into a relationship with Stacy Warner ( Sela Ward ) , a constitutional lawyer , after she shot him during a `` Lawyers vs. Doctors '' paintball match . Five years later , during a game of golf , he suffered an infarction in his right leg which went misdiagnosed for three days due to doctors ' concerns - House would eventually diagnose the infarction himself : An aneurysm in his thigh had clotted leading to an infarction and causing his quadriceps muscle to become necrotic . House had the dead muscle bypassed to restore circulation to the remainder of his leg , risking organ failure and cardiac arrest . He was unwilling to allow an amputation opting instead to endure excruciating post-operative pain to retain the use of his leg . However , after he was put into a chemically induced coma to sleep through the worst of the pain , Stacy , House 's medical proxy , and Dr. Lisa Cuddy who was House 's doctor at the time , acted against his wishes and authorized a safer surgical middle - ground procedure between amputation and a bypass by removing just the dead muscle . This resulted in the partial loss of use in his leg and left House with a lesser , but still serious , level of pain for the rest of his life . House could not forgive Stacy for making the decision after he obviously did n't want it and this was eventually the reason Stacy left him . House now suffers chronic pain in his thigh and uses a cane ( which he uses for more than walking ; he often wields it for protection or to push aside privacy curtains , or for knocking on doors ) to aid his walking . He also frequently takes Vicodin , a moderate to severe painkiller , to relieve his pain . House does briefly break his dependency with psychiatric help , after he suffers a psychotic break . When Warner makes her first appearance in season 1 , she is married to a high school guidance counselor named Mark Warner . Although she and House have a brief , intimate encounter during the second season , House eventually tells Stacy to go back to her husband , devastating her . In the season two finale `` No Reason '' one of House 's former patients shoots him twice . At the beginning of season three , House temporarily regains his ability to walk and run after receiving ketamine treatment for his gunshot injuries . However , the chronic pain in his leg comes back and House , who seems depressed because of the returning pain , takes painkillers and uses his cane once again . The other doctors speculate his cane and opiate re-usage are due to his psychological tendencies . On a routine clinic visit , a police detective , Michael Tritter , is seen by House . Tritter observes House taking Vicodin for his pain and blames this for House 's being rude and a bully . Tritter , believing doctors should be more responsible while practicing medicine , decides to take it upon himself to take legal action to free House of his addiction by launching an investigation into suspected drug abuse . The investigation slowly involves Cuddy , Wilson and House 's diagnostics team , with Tritter using extreme measures to get information . House , being forcibly weaned off Vicodin to take a deal where he would keep his medical license , goes to extreme lengths to manage his pain by stealing Oxycodone from a cancer patient of Wilson 's who had just died , giving Tritter what he needed to bring House to trial . At the pretrial hearing , the Judge decides House is not a danger to society and that his pain management for his leg is not as serious as Tritter made it seem . This conclusion is reached when Cuddy manufactures evidence and perjures herself to keep House out of jail . During season five , House once again regains his ability to walk without pain after taking methadone but soon stops after nearly killing a patient due to an uncharacteristic medical error . At the end of season five , House 's use of Vicodin reaches a level in which House starts hallucinating about a former fellowship candidate who is also Wilson 's dead girlfriend Amber Volakis and a relationship with Cuddy . When House comes to the conclusion Vicodin is making him hallucinate and taking over his life , he checks himself into Mayfield Psychiatric Hospital . At the start of season six , after spending time in Mayfield , House stops taking pain medications and with the help of Dr. Darryl Nolan , finds other ways to deal with his pain and other aspects of his life . During his stay it is revealed by Dr. Nolan that House suffers from clinical depression , has antisocial tendencies , an inflated ego and severe trust issues . Dr. Nolan at one point even took House to a gathering in an effort to make House open up to people . To help manage his pain House finds a short - lived hobby in cooking . Thirteen ( Remy Hadley ) , Cuddy , and Wilson discover House is very good at his new hobby , attributing this to House thinking of ingredients in terms of chemistry . House eventually finds the one thing that seems to help the pain go away : practicing medicine . After he diagnoses a patient online for his team ( without their knowledge ) , and shows Dr. Nolan how this reduces his pain , Nolan suggests House resume his practice . In season seven , when Cuddy , who is House 's girlfriend at this point , has a brush with death , House goes back on Vicodin in order to cope with the fear of losing her . Near the end of season seven , House finds out the experimental drug he had been using caused fatal cancerous tumors in all of the lab rats in the experiment . He gets a CT scan of his leg and finds three tumors close to the surface of the skin in his leg . He goes home , cleans his bathroom , and attempts to perform surgery on himself to extract the tumors in his bathtub . In season eight , House finds himself in jail after running his car into Cuddy 's house . There he finds his need for Vicodin is a weakness when an inmate makes House steal twenty pills of Vicodin or be killed . Throughout season eight , House 's therapeutic use of Vicodin becomes more habitual , similar to his use before season five . The final season 's opening episode partly explores what path an imprisoned House would take aside from practicing medicine , revealing physics as his other forté . The episode `` Body & Soul '' makes a nod to this with a reference to a particle physics text amongst his books , as mentioned by his then - wife Dominika Petrova ( Karolina Wydra ) . House fakes his own death in the series finale , thus giving up his ability to practice medicine again , in order to spend time with Wilson ( Robert Sean Leonard ) , who has five months left to live . He does this in order to avoid being sent back to prison for destroying an MRI machine in a prank gone wrong . The series ends with House and Wilson riding off into the countryside on motorcycles , as Dr. Robert Chase ( Jesse Spencer ) takes over House 's department . Personality ( edit ) `` Dr. House is a fascinating and daringly cantankerous enigma , the proverbial bitter pill who also happens to be a highly intuitive medical genius . He despises interacting with patients and prefers dealing with diseases -- with medical mysteries that leave other doctors scratching their heads in befuddlement . '' -- Tom Shales describing the character . House frequently shows off his cunning and biting wit , and enjoys picking people apart and mocking their weaknesses . House accurately deduces people 's motives and histories from aspects of their personality , appearance , and behavior . His friend and colleague Wilson says that while some doctors have the `` Messiah complex '' ( they need to `` save the world '' ) , House has the `` Rubik 's complex '' ( he needs to `` solve the puzzle '' ) . House typically waits as long as possible before meeting his patients . When he does , he shows an unorthodox bedside manner and uses unconventional treatments . However , he impresses them with rapid and accurate diagnoses after seemingly not paying attention . This skill is demonstrated in a scene where House diagnoses an entire waiting room full of patients in little over one minute on his way out of the hospital clinic . House , although rarely visiting his patients , demonstrates that he is more than capable of using practical medical skills . For example , occasionally taking part in operations and reacting quickly when a patient has a cardiac arrest in front of him . Critics have described the character as `` moody '' , `` bitter '' , `` antagonistic '' , `` misanthropic '' , `` cynical '' `` grumpy '' , `` maverick '' , `` anarchist '' , `` sociopath '' , and a `` curmudgeon '' . The Global Language Monitor chose the word `` curmudgeon '' as the best way to describe the character . Laurie describes House as a character who refuses to `` obey the usual pieties of modern life '' and expects to find a rare diagnosis when he is treating his patient . Many aspects of his personality are the antithesis of what might be expected from a doctor . Executive producer Katie Jacobs views House as a static character who is accustomed to living in misery . Jacobs has said that Dr. Wilson , his only friend in the show , and House both avoid mature relationships , which brings the two closer together . Leonard has said that Dr. Wilson is one of the few who voluntarily maintains a relationship with House , because he is free to criticize him . Although House 's crankiness is commonly misattributed to the chronic pain in his leg , both Stacy and Cuddy have said that he was the same before the infarction . To handle the chronic pain in his leg , House takes Vicodin every day , and as a result has developed an addiction to the drug . He refuses to admit that he has an addiction ( `` I do not have a pain management problem , I have a pain problem '' ) . However , after winning a bet from Cuddy by not taking the drug for a week , he concedes that he has an addiction , but says that it is not a problem because it does not interfere with his work or life . In the 2009 season House goes through detox and his addiction goes into remission , so to say . However , it does seem that House may have gotten over his addiction in the season 6 premiere . House creator David Shore told the Seattle Times in 2006 that Vicodin is `` becoming less and less useful a tool for dealing with his pain , and it 's something ( the writers ) are going to continue to deal with , continue to explore '' . House openly talks about , and makes references to , pornography . In `` Lines in the Sand '' , he returns the flirtations of an underage female who is a daughter of a clinic patient . He regularly engages the services of prostitutes , of which his former female diagnostic team member Dr. Allison Cameron ( Jennifer Morrison ) , who once had a crush on him , is aware . He also likes to gamble , frequently making wagers . House speaks multiple languages , demonstrating fluency in English , Spanish , Russian , Portuguese , Hindi , and Mandarin . He listens to jazz , plays the piano ( as does Hugh Laurie ) and has an interest in vintage electric guitars . House has often credited guitarist / songwriter Eric Clapton and composer Giacomo Puccini as his biggest musical influences , drawing parallels to those of Hugh Laurie 's . He is an avid video gamer , is known to attend monster truck pulls with Wilson , and watch the soap operas General Hospital and the fictional Prescription Passion . House is a fan of the Philadelphia Phillies and Philadelphia Flyers . He is also ( as is Laurie ) a motorcyclist , riding a Honda CBR1000RR Repsol Edition , license plate Y91 , as seen in `` Swan Song '' , `` Help Me '' , `` Deception '' and `` Post Mortem '' ; otherwise , he drives a Dodge Dynasty sedan . House is an atheist . He openly and relentlessly mocks colleagues and patients who express any belief in religion , deeming such beliefs as illogical . He does not believe in an afterlife because he finds it is better to believe life `` is n't just a test '' . However , in the season four episode `` 97 Seconds '' , he expresses sufficient interest in the possibility of an afterlife to electrocute himself in an effort to find out ; he is dissatisfied with the results and denounces the possibility of an afterlife . This is also an example of House 's tendency to self - experiment and submit to risky medical procedures in the name of truth . Over the course of the series , he disproves the effectiveness of a migraine cure by self - inducing a migraine and controlling the effects through drugs , undergoes a blood transfusion to assist with a diagnosis , and overdoses on physostigmine to improve his memory after sustaining head injuries , subsequently causing his heart to stop beating , then undergoes deep brain stimulation soon after . In `` The Fix '' , he steals experimental medicine only tested in rats to try and regrow his thigh muscle , eliminating his pain . In the following episode , `` After Hours '' , he finds out that the medicine cause tumors , and operated on himself in his bathtub based on a CT scan . Ultimately he is unable to continue and eventually brought in Cuddy , who sends him to the hospital . `` ( House ) enjoys pursuing the truth , and he knows we all see the world through our own lenses . He 's constantly trying to strip himself of those biases , to get a clean , objective view of things . '' -- Shore to Variety . House frequently says , `` Everybody lies '' , but jokingly remarked he was lying when he said it . House criticizes social etiquette for lack of rational purpose and usefulness . Dr. Cameron states in the first episode of the first season `` House does n't believe in pretense ... so he just says what he thinks '' . In the season three episode `` Lines in the Sand '' , he explains how he envies an autistic patient because society allows the patient to forgo the niceties that he must suffer through . In the same episode , Dr. Wilson suggests House might have Asperger syndrome , which is characterized by a number of traits found in House , such as difficulty accepting the purpose of social rules , lack of concern for his physical appearance , and resistance to change ; though he later reveals to House that he does not truly believe this , and that claiming this was a part of a ploy to soften Cuddy 's opinion of House . House is a strong nonconformist and has little regard for how others perceive him . Throughout the series , he displays sardonic contempt for authority figures . House shows an almost constant disregard for his own appearance , possessing a permanent stubble and dressing informally in worn jeans , wrinkled shirts over rumpled T - shirts , and sneakers . He avoids wearing the standard white lab coat to avoid patients recognizing him as a doctor , preferring a shabby blazer or , less frequently , a motorcycle jacket . Social behavior ( edit ) House does not have much of a social life , and his only real friend is Dr. James Wilson . Wilson knew House before the infarction and looked after him when House 's relationship with Stacy ended . Dr. Wilson 's moving into House 's apartment after his failed marriage in `` Sex Kills '' symbolizes his taking emotional refuge in his friend . Although they frequently analyze and criticize each other 's motives , Wilson has risked his career to protect House , including having his job terminated in the first season as an effort of Edward Vogler to dismiss House , and having his practice damaged by Detective Michael Tritter in an investigation of House 's narcotics consumption . House has quietly admitted , at several instances , that he is grateful for Wilson 's presence , including referring to Wilson as his best friend . When Wilson resigns and moves away from both New Jersey and House 's friendship in the season 5 premiere , House is desperate to have his friend back , and hires a private investigator ( Michael Weston ) to spy on him . The two ultimately reconcile at House 's father 's funeral in a scene similar to their first meeting , only this time Wilson breaks a stained glass window with what appears to be a bottle of wine or alcohol in a moment of anger directed at House . In the series finale , House fakes his death both to get out of going to prison and to spend five remaining months with Wilson before he dies of cancer , after having spent the past third of the season helping him through difficult , risky and ultimately unsuccessful treatments and reckless `` bucket list '' wishes . Lisa Edelstein has said that despite his sardonic personality , House is a character who is reliant on people surrounding him . Edelstein says this characteristic is portrayed on several occasions in the third season , during which House 's medical career is in jeopardy due to investigations by Det . Michael Tritter ( David Morse ) , who arrests him for possessing narcotics . House 's legal trouble ends when Edelstein 's character , Lisa Cuddy , commits perjury during his hearing . In Season 5 , a relationship with Cuddy begins to blossom , as they are unable to deny feelings between each other . They share a kiss in episode six `` Joy '' which sparked an ongoing romantic tension between them . When Cuddy 's office is destroyed by a gunman and is being renovated , she moves into House 's office in what Wilson believes to be an attempt to get closer to House . The two try to drive each other away , doing things to each other 's office to make them worse , but in an uncharacteristically nice move , House has Cuddy 's mother send her medical school desk for her new office as a surprise . Cuddy is touched by what he did , but is devastated when she spots him with a prostitute he hired , not knowing he had done so only to mess with Kutner and Taub . In the season finale `` Both Sides Now '' it is confirmed that House wishes to pursue a romantic relationship with Cuddy . In this same episode he believes he has slept with Cuddy and informs Dr. James Wilson the following morning . This however is revealed to be a psychosis , which is a side effect of his Vicodin abuse . The House - Cuddy story culminates in the season 6 finale , `` Help Me '' , when Cuddy cancels her engagement to Lucas to face the inevitable realization of her loving House all along ; they share a passionate kiss , thus hinting on mutual willingness to try to develop a real relationship . However , in season 7 , this relationship is ended when House starts taking Vicodin again when he is faced with Cuddy possibly having a terminal illness . House has also been known to act as a mooch at times , frequently stealing food from Wilson . In `` You Do n't Want to Know '' , while House is searching for the cause of Thirteen 's twitching , he claims to have stolen money from her wallet . In the same episode , Wilson later observes that House 's blood type is AB , the universal recipient , reflecting his desire to take whatever he can . In another episode , he reveals to Wilson that he 's been borrowing larger and larger sums of money from him without paying him back , just to see at what point Wilson would turn him down . Development ( edit ) Conception ( edit ) `` The title diagnostician of the show would be as smart a physician as Dr. Kildare and as sharp a sleuth as Gil Grissom of CSI , it was important to us that he be damaged , both emotionally and physically . '' -- Shore on House 's creation . While the show was originally set to be a medical procedural , the idea changed when the writers started to explore the possibilities of a curmudgeonly title character . Shore traced the concept for the title character to his background as a patient at a teaching hospital . Shore recalled that `` I knew , as soon as I left the room , they would be mocking me relentlessly ( for my cluelessness ... ) and I thought that it would be interesting to see a character who actually did that before they left the room '' . Shore also based the character partly on himself : in a 2006 interview with Macleans he explained that he has a `` cynical and cold attitude lurking within '' him , and almost always agrees with House 's point of view . A central part of the show 's premise was that the main character would be disabled in some way . The initial idea was for House to use a wheelchair , inspired by the 1960s police drama Ironside , but Fox turned down this interpretation ( for which the crew was later grateful ) . The wheelchair became a scar on House 's face , which later turned into a bad leg necessitating the use of a cane . House usually holds his cane on the same side as his injured leg ; Shore explained : `` Some people feel more comfortable with the cane in the dominant arm , and that is acceptable '' . The cane tricks that are seen throughout the series are created by Laurie himself . Cathy Crandall , costume designer for the show , created a look for the character that made it seem like he did not care about his clothing . She designed House with a wrinkled T - shirt , a blazer that is one size too short , faded and worn - in jeans and heather - gray rag socks . It was Laurie 's idea to have the character wear sneakers , because he thought `` a man with a cane needs functional shoes '' ; the Fox studios ' wardrobe department kept thirty - seven pairs of Nike Shox on hand . House has worn T - shirts designed by famous designers such as Barking Irons and Lincoln Mayne , but also by less known designers such as Andrew Buckler and Taavo . The shirts are usually kept tied in a ball overnight to get them to wrinkle . Casting ( edit ) When casting for the part started , Shore was afraid that in `` the wrong hands '' , House would `` just be hateful '' . The casting directors were looking for someone who could , as Shore described , `` do these horrible things and be somehow likable without just , you know , petting a kitten '' . When Laurie was asked to audition for the role of House , he was filming Flight of the Phoenix in Namibia . Laurie had no big expectations for the show , thinking that it would only `` run for a few weeks '' . He planned to audition for the roles of both James Wilson and Gregory House . However , when he read that Wilson was a character with a `` handsome open face '' , he decided to audition solely for the role of House . Laurie chose not to change his clothing , but to remain in the costume he wore for the film ; he also decided not to shave his beard . He put together an audition tape of his own in a Namibian hotel bathroom , the only place with enough light , while his Flight of the Phoenix co-stars Jacob Vargas and Scott Michael Campbell held the camera . He improvised by using an umbrella for a cane . Laurie initially believed that James Wilson would be the protagonist of the show after reading the brief description of the character and did not find out that House was the main character until he read the full script of the pilot episode . After he had watched casting tapes for the pilot episode , Bryan Singer grew frustrated and refused to consider any more British actors because of their flawed American accents . Although Singer compared Laurie 's audition tape to an `` Osama bin Laden video '' , he was impressed with Laurie 's acting and , not knowing who he was , Singer was fooled by his American accent . He commented on how well the `` American actor '' was able to grasp the character , not knowing about Laurie 's British nationality . Although Laurie 's appearance was very different from the way Shore pictured House , when he watched the audition tape , he was equally impressed as Singer . More famous ( in the American market ) actors such as Denis Leary , Rob Morrow and Patrick Dempsey were also considered , but Singer , Shore , and executive producers Paul Attanasio and Katie Jacobs all thought Laurie was the best option and decided to cast him for the part . Laurie was the final actor to join the cast of House . After he was chosen for the part , Laurie , whose father Ran Laurie was a doctor himself , said he felt guilty for `` being paid more to become a fake version of my own father '' . While Laurie has used an American accent before in the Stuart Little films , he found it difficult to adopt for his role , saying that words such as `` coronary artery '' are particularly tricky to pronounce . Parallels to Sherlock Holmes ( edit ) House and Wilson 's relationship mirrors Holmes and Watson 's ( pictured ) relationship . Similarities between House and the famous fictional detective Sherlock Holmes appear throughout the series ; Shore explained that he was always a Sherlock Holmes fan , and found the character 's traits of indifference to his clients unique . The resemblance is evident in various elements of the series ' plot , such as House 's reliance on psychology to solve a case , his reluctance to accept cases he does not find interesting and House 's home address , 221B Baker Street , which is the same as Holmes ' . Other similarities between the two characters are drug use ( House battled a Vicodin addiction for years and Holmes was a recreational user of cocaine ) , successful detoxification ( which proves to be only temporary in House 's case ) , playing an instrument ( Holmes plays the violin and House plays the guitar , piano , organ and harmonica ) and a talent for accurately deducing people 's motives and histories from aspects of their personality and appearance . Shore has also explained that the name `` House '' is a play on the name `` Holmes '' via its phonetic similarity to the word `` homes '' . The pun does not extend to the meaning of the names , as the surname `` Holmes '' actually denotes that its initial bearers lived near or worked with holly or holm - oak trees , such that `` Holl ( e ) y '' or `` Oak ( e ) s '' would be a more literal equivalent . Both Holmes and House each have one true friend , Dr. John Watson and Dr. James Wilson , respectively . Leonard has said that House and his character were originally intended to play the roles of Holmes and Watson in the series although he believes that House 's team has assumed the Watson role . Shore has also said that Dr. House draws inspiration from Dr. Marc Chamberlain , a professor of neurology at the University of Washington , Seattle , and Dr. Joseph Bell ( who was a teacher of Arthur Conan Doyle 's and thus a chief source of inspiration for the creation of Holmes ) , who could `` walk into a waiting room and diagnose people without speaking to them '' . In the season two finale `` No Reason '' , House is shot by a man named Jack Moriarty , a name that coincides with Sherlock Holmes ' adversary , Professor James Moriarty ; likewise , in the fifth season , Wilson uses Irene Adler as the name for an imaginary love interest of House , the same name as the only female adversary Holmes ever encountered . Reception ( edit ) Throughout the series ' run , the character received positive reviews . Tom Shales of The Washington Post called House `` the most electrifying character to hit television in years '' . House was featured on several best lists . In 2008 , House was voted by BuddyTV second sexiest TV doctor ever , behind Dr. Doug Ross ( George Clooney ) from ER . TV Overmind named House the best TV character of the last decade . In June 2010 , Entertainment Weekly also named him one of the 100 Greatest Characters of the Last 20 Years . He also appeared in Entertainment Weekly 's `` 30 Great TV Doctors and Nurses '' . He was elected TV 's Most Crushworthy Male Doctor over Doug Ross of ER in a poll held by Zap2it . Fox News placed the character among the Best TV Doctors For Surgeon General . For his portrayal , Hugh Laurie has won various awards , including two Golden Globe Awards for Best Actor in a Television Series -- Drama , two Screen Actors Guild Awards for Best Actor from Drama Series , two Satellite Awards for Best Actor in a Television Series -- Drama , and two TCA Awards for Individual Achievement in Drama . Laurie has also earned a total of six Primetime Emmy Award nominations for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Drama Series in 2005 , 2007 , 2008 , 2009 , 2010 , and 2011 .

what is wrong with dr house's leg
[ "In the series, the character's unorthodox diagnostic approaches, radical therapeutic motives, and stalwart rationality have resulted in much conflict between him and his colleagues.[3] House is also often portrayed as lacking sympathy for his patients, a practice that allots him time to solve pathological enigmas. The character is partly inspired by Sherlock Holmes.[4][5] A portion of the show's plot centers on House's habitual use of Vicodin to manage pain stemming from a leg infarction involving his quadriceps muscle some years earlier, an injury that forces him to walk with a cane. This addiction is also one of the many parallels to Holmes, who was a habitual user of cocaine.[6]" ]

Productions 2015 Washington , D.C. 2016 Off - Broadway 2016 Broadway Awards Obie Award for Musical Theatre Drama Desk Award for Outstanding Lyrics Tony Award for Best Musical Tony Award for Best Book of a Musical Tony Award for Best Original Score Drama League Award for Outstanding Production of a Broadway or Off - Broadway Production Grammy Award for Best Musical Theater Album Dear Evan Hansen is a stage musical with music and lyrics by Benj Pasek and Justin Paul , and a book by Steven Levenson . The musical opened on Broadway at the Music Box Theatre in December 2016 , after its world premiere at the Arena Stage in Washington , DC , in July 2015 and an Off - Broadway production in March to May 2016 . The titular character , Evan Hansen , is a high school senior with severe social anxiety , which inhibits his ability to connect with other people and make friends . After the death of one of his classmates , he fabricates a lie that inadvertently brings him closer to the classmate 's family , while also allowing him to gain his own sense of purpose . The musical has received critical acclaim , particularly for Ben Platt 's leading performance , the lyrics , and the book , and has served as a touchstone for discussion about pre-mature storytelling and themes explored in musical theatre , particularly that of mental illness and youth suicide . At the 71st Tony Awards , it was nominated for nine awards , winning six , including Best Musical , Best Score , Best Actor in a Musical for Platt , and Best Featured Actress in a Musical for Rachel Bay Jones .

The musical `` takes the notion of a teenager , ... Evan Hansen , who invents an important role for himself in a tragedy that he did not earn . '' Synopsis Act 1 Evan Hansen is a teenager who struggles with severe social anxiety which makes it hard for him to make friends . His therapist recommends that he write letters to himself detailing what will be good about each day . Before the first day of his senior year in high school , his mother , Heidi , suggests that he make new friends by asking people to sign the cast on his arm , which he broke by falling out of a tree over the summer . Across town , the wealthy Murphy family -- Cynthia , Larry , and their children Zoe and Connor -- sit down to breakfast . Zoe and Larry berate Connor for getting high before school , while Cynthia struggles with the fact that her family is falling apart . The two mothers wonder simultaneously how to connect with their sons ( `` Anybody Have a Map ? '' ) . At school , Evan runs into Alana , a smart classmate , and Jared , his only friend . Both Alana and Jared notice his broken arm , but neither signs his cast -- instead , Jared teases Evan about it . Jared and Evan then run into Connor , whom Jared pokes fun at . Connor interprets Evan 's awkwardness as making fun of him , resulting in Connor pushing Evan to the ground . Connor 's sister Zoe , whom Evan has a massive crush on , feels obligated to apologize for her brother 's behavior . Evan wonders if this is his destiny -- to be ignored and an outcast , never getting the girl of his dreams ; `` on the outside always looking in '' for the rest of his life ( `` Waving Through A Window '' ) . Evan writes himself another letter . He states he has given up on it being a good year and how he wonders if anyone would notice if he were not there . He remarks that all his hope is now pinned on Zoe , since his crush on her is the only thing that brings him happiness . While printing the letter in the school 's computer lab , he encounters Connor again , now much more subdued than he was in the morning . Connor asks what happened to Evan 's arm and offers to sign his cast , musing that maybe now they can both pretend they have friends . After signing the cast , he reads Evan 's letter ( which he grabbed from the printer as a favor ) and becomes furious at the mention of Zoe , thinking Evan intended for him to see the letter in order to make fun of him . He storms out , taking the letter with him . Several days pass with no sign of Connor . Evan is in an intense state of anxiety over what Connor might have done with the letter , and tells Jared online about his assignment to write letters to himself , and how he 's worried about what Connor might 've done with the letter . Jared remarks that Connor has always been completely out of his mind . Later that day , Evan is called to the principal 's office , where Connor 's parents are waiting to meet him . They tell Evan that Connor died by suicide a few days before with Evan 's letter in his pocket . Believing it to be Connor 's suicide note addressed to Evan , they ask Evan if he and Connor were close , as Connor had never mentioned having friends before . Not wanting to further their grief and unsure what to do , Evan agrees to go to their house to talk about Connor . There , after seeing Cynthia 's distress over the loss of her son , Evan panics and , rather than telling the truth , begins to fabricate an intricate story of his and Connor 's friendship , claiming he and Connor kept up a secret email correspondence and recounting a fictional version of the day he broke his arm in which Connor was with him ( `` For Forever '' ) . Later , Heidi reminds Evan that he needs to begin applying for college scholarships . She mentions hearing about Connor 's death , but Evan tells her not to worry and that he did n't know Connor . Seeing Connor 's name signed on his cast , Heidi confronts Evan , but he lies , saying that someone else named Connor signed it . After realizing he needs evidence of his supposed `` secret email account , '' Evan enlists Jared 's help in creating fake , backdated email conversations between himself and Connor ( `` Sincerely , Me '' ) . After Evan shows the Murphy family Connor 's ' emails ' , Cynthia is ecstatic that her son had a friend , but Larry is more hurt that Connor took his family and his privileged life for granted ; Zoe , who was alienated by Connor 's aggressive behavior , refuses to mourn him at all ( `` Requiem '' ) . However , after reading the suicide note , Zoe notices that she is mentioned and asks Evan why Connor would say that about her ; Evan , unable to tell her the truth , tells her all the reasons he loves her under the guise of Connor saying them ( `` If I Could Tell Her '' ) . Overcome with emotion , he impulsively kisses Zoe , but she pulls away and tells him to leave . At school , Evan and Alana notice that people are starting to forget about Connor . Spurred on by a vision of Connor , Evan enlists Alana and Jared 's help in founding `` The Connor Project '' -- an organization dedicated to keeping Connor 's memory alive . The three pitch the idea to the Murphys , who agree to support the project ( `` Disappear '' ) ; moved by his dedication , Cynthia gives Evan a necktie she had gotten for Connor that he had never worn , and asks Evan to wear it when he speaks at Connor 's memorial service . At the official launch of The Connor Project , Evan gives an inspiring speech about his loneliness and friendship with Connor , which goes viral . Zoe , overcome by the impact her brother and Evan have had , kisses him ( `` You Will Be Found '' ) . Act 2 Evan and Alana pitch a fundraising idea on The Connor Project 's website . In memory of Connor , they want to raise $50,000 in three weeks to reopen the abandoned apple orchard that Evan and Connor supposedly spent time in . Despite Alana 's total devotion the project , Evan becomes preoccupied with his new relationship with Zoe and his newfound family in the Murphys , and begins to neglect his mother , Jared , and The Connor Project ( `` Sincerely , Me ( Reprise ) '' ) . Heidi tells Evan that she saw the video of his speech on Facebook and asks him why he did not tell her about The Connor Project or about his and Connor 's friendship . He angrily responds that he did not have the time because she is never around . Overcome with emotion , he then rushes off to the Murphys ' , telling her that he is going to Jared 's . At the Murphys ' , Evan bonds with Larry Murphy and confides in him that his father left when he was young , has remarried , and no longer keeps in touch with him or his other relatives . Larry offers him an old baseball glove of Connor 's that was never used ( `` To Break in a Glove '' ) . Sometime later , at Evan 's house , Evan makes an offhand comment to Zoe about how he and his mother do not have much money and he needs scholarships to pay for college . When he begins to mention Connor , Zoe tells him that she does not want their relationship to be about Connor , but about the two of them ( `` Only Us '' ) . Evan gets into a fight with Jared , who claims that Connor 's death was the best thing that ever happened to Evan -- he is no longer invisible and has landed the girl of his dreams . Later on , Evan goes to the Murphys ' , only to discover that they have invited Heidi for dinner . Heidi , who has no idea that Evan had spent time at the Murphys ' , is mortified when Larry and Cynthia offer to use the money that they had set aside for Connor 's college fund to send Evan to school instead . After returning home , Heidi and Evan fight over his secrecy and deception . When Heidi proclaims that the Murphys are not Evan 's family , Evan confesses that he feels not only welcomed but also accepted by the Murphys in light of Heidi 's absence and expectations towards Evan 's mental health . Heidi tearfully berates him for running off to his new family , while Alana begins to find inconsistencies in the fake emails Evan `` received '' from Connor and suspects that the entire story is a lie . Beginning to panic , Evan urges Jared to help him clear up the inaccuracies , but Jared refuses due to Evan 's own absence . Evan counters that Jared himself had acted as a friend to him only when he needed something from him . Jared threatens to expose Evan , and Evan warns him he could , in turn , open up about Jared 's role in the lie . Heidi , Alana , and Jared converge in Evan 's conscience , compounding his guilt and doubt over his decisions ( `` Good for You '' ) . Evan decides he has to come clean with what he has done . Imaginary Connor attempts to talk him out of it , citing the happiness he has given the Murphys and the fate of Evan 's relationship with Zoe , but Evan does not back down , angrily shouting that he needs the whole thing to be over . Connor is unconvinced and asks Evan how he broke his arm : did he fall by accident or actually let go ? Evan denies suicidal intent , but Connor tells him that if he tells the truth , all he has will be gone , and the only thing he will be left with is himself . He disappears , leaving Evan alone . Evan goes to apologize to Alana , but she says she has given up on Evan helping her with The Connor Project . She doubts the truth of Evan 's repeated statements that he was Connor 's best friend , since they were never seen together , and she says that it is easy to create fake backdated emails . Desperate , Evan says he has proof that they were friends . He shows her the letter to himself that he wrote when he was giving up on having a good year , claiming it to be Connor 's suicide note . Realizing that the letter is the key to fulfilling the fundraising goal , Alana posts it online where , to Evan 's chagrin , it goes viral . As a result , many people begin to believe Connor 's suicide was because of his uncaring , wealthy parents . Evan is distraught and goes to see the Murphys , who have become the targets of hateful comments from people who believe they were responsible for Connor 's death . He walks in on the three of them fighting about why Connor really killed himself and finally admits that he fabricated the entire thing , hopeful that he could forge a genuine bond with the Murphys out of the tragedy . As Zoe and her mother tearfully run out , Larry turns away from Evan in disgust . Alone once more , Evan absorbs his perceived brokenness as inescapable ( `` Words Fail '' ) . Evan finds Heidi waiting for him at home . She saw the letter online , and immediately knew that it was one of Evan 's therapy assignments . She apologizes to Evan for not seeing how badly he had been hurting , though Evan denies her guilt due to his deception . He then vaguely admits that his fall was a suicide attempt . Heidi sits him down and recalls the day that his father moved out : how she felt so small and alone and did not know how she was going to make it by herself . In the end , however , she realized that she was not alone -- she had Evan and knew that the two of them could make it through anything so long as they were together . Tearfully , Heidi promises that she will always be there for him when he needs her ( `` So Big / So Small '' ) . A year later , Evan is still living at home and working at Pottery Barn to earn enough money to go to college the next semester . He contacts Zoe , whom he has not seen since the day she found out the truth , and asks if she will agree to meet him . She does , but insists that they meet at the orchard that has been reopened in Connor 's memory . He apologizes for the pain he caused her family and admits that he has been reading Connor 's ten favorite books after finding a list in an old yearbook in an attempt to connect with who he really was . He also thanks her and her parents for keeping his secret and reveals that they never told anyone else that his friendship with Connor was a lie . She forgives him , saying the whole ordeal brought her family closer together over the past year because `` everyone needed it for something . '' Evan asks her why she insisted on meeting at the orchard , and she replies that she wanted to be sure he saw it , and the two share a gentle moment before they part . Evan mentally writes himself one last letter reflecting on the impact he has had on his community and finally accepts himself ( `` Finale '' ) .

Anthony Broadway cast replacements Evan Hansen : Noah Galvin ; Taylor Trensch Connor Murphy : Alex Boniello Heidi Hansen : Lisa Brescia Characters Evan Hansen -- A high school senior who struggles with severe social anxiety . He is assigned by his therapist to write letters to himself about why each day will be good , which becomes the catalyst for the plot of the story . He also has never had any friends , and has had a crush on Zoe Murphy for a very long time . After Connor 's death , he begins to tell lies of him being friends with Connor to the Murphy family because they found Evan 's letter to himself folded up in Connor 's pocket ; they thought Connor wrote it to Evan . The first act centers on his outreach propelled by Connor 's death , while the second act has him unleash his yearning towards the Murphys and his anger towards Heidi and Jared , who he believes have used him for validation and ignored him when they did n't need him . Heidi Hansen -- Evan 's mother , a nurse 's aide who attends paralegal school at night , often leaving Evan on his own as a result . She tries to connect with Evan , but struggles because she does n't personally understand what he goes through on a daily basis . Having been left by her ex-husband years prior to raise Evan on her own , she exhibits possessive and jealous behavior once she learns of the Murphys ' interest in securing Evan 's future . However , she comes to see her failings and Evan 's concealed sorrow as a wake - up - call not to hide from her son . Zoe Murphy -- Connor 's younger sister and Evan 's longtime crush .

She is initially mad at Evan when he comes clean about the lies , but eventually forgives him . Cynthia Murphy -- Connor and Zoe 's stay - at - home mother . She is constantly trying to keep her fragile family from falling apart , but is often unsuccessful . She clings to the memory of Connor even though she was never close with him , and her relationship with Larry and Zoe suffers because of it . The second act elaborates on her past attempts at coaxing Connor through expensive retreats , and her bitterness towards her husband 's distance . Larry Murphy -- Connor and Zoe 's busy father . He works hard to give his family a relatively easy life , but he is emotionally distant from all three of them . He becomes close with Evan , who never had a strong father figure , and begins to see Evan as the son Connor never was . However , as the letter becomes public , he 's faced with his role in Connor 's alienation and the truth behind Evan 's outreach . Connor Murphy - A high school senior who is also a social outcast with no friends , like Evan . He is a frequent drug user , and becomes aggressive when he is high . He is very protective of his sister Zoe , even though they are not close . He commits suicide early on , but his image returns in Evan 's imagination to guide him . Evan 's imaginary version of Connor is likable , contributing to Evan 's belief that they could have been friends . His death is the basis of the whole story . Alana Beck -- Evan 's precocious and sometimes insufferable classmate . She is constantly looking for academic and extracurricular activities to boost her collegiate chances . She never knew Connor , but is greatly affected by his death and the concept of mortality , and quickly joins Evan in founding the Connor Project in order to keep Connor 's memory alive . Jared Kleinman -- Another of Evan 's classmates ; he is the closest person Evan has ever had to a friend . The son of a family friend of the Hansens , he initially says that he only talks to Evan so his parents will pay for his car insurance . Jared is very adept with computers and technology , so Evan enlists his help in crafting fake emails from Connor . However , as Evan becomes preoccupied with his relationship with the Murphys and fails to further Jared 's prominence in the Project , Jared turns his snide nature against Evan once more , only to be confronted by his own self - centeredness .

After originally announcing that performances would take place at the Belasco Theatre , in mid-September 2016 , producers announced that the show would instead be performed at the Music Box Theatre .

The production is slated to begin performances in March 2019 . Critical response Derek Mong , in his review of the musical at the Arena Stage , wrote that the `` inventive set design by David Korins ... that transforms a small stage into a platform for the most intimate living room where a mother and son share a heart - to - heart to the physical abyss of internet cyberspace ... book by Steven Levenson ... lyrics and music by Benj Pasek and Justin Paul ... heartfelt lyrics with universal appeal joined by the perfect , oftentimes acoustic , accompaniment that can change the mood from somber to celebratory to sinister in a single bar of music . '' Barbara Mackay in reviewing the Arena Stage production for TheatreMania wrote : `` Levenson , Pasek , and Paul set themselves two high , untraditional bars in Evan Hansen : exploring a community 's grief and examining a lonely protagonist who desperately wants to connect with that community ... Ben Platt is outstanding as Evan ... Since the success of the musical depends entirely on whether Evan 's solitary nature appears funny or weird , Evan 's ability to laugh at himself and make the audience laugh is crucial . Platt is charming as he eternally twists his shirt tails and hangs his head ... Although the themes of grief and loneliness are serious , the musical is anything but somber . It addresses challenging facts of life . But from start to finish , when Evan leaves his room and finds an authentic life outside it , Dear Evan Hansen contains far more joy than sadness . '' Susan Davidson , in her review of the Arena Stage production for CurtainUp , noted : `` ... it helps to suspend the disbelief that sullen , anti-social teenagers can change quickly . Surely that 's a process requiring time - released hormonal adjustments . It is hard to accept that a long - admired - from - afar girl can change Evan 's outlook on life so rapidly or that Connor 's teenage disequilibrium leads him to do what he does . Coming through loud and clear , however , is the fact that what starts as deceit can be blown totally out of proportion by the Internet where lies are disseminated with lightning speed leaving plenty of victims in their wake ... The music is pleasant , not terribly original but good enough to get toes tapping . Benj Pasek and Justin Paul 's ballads stand out , particularly Heidi 's `` So Big / So Small , '' Evan 's `` Words Fail '' and Zoe and Evan 's young sweethearts duet `` Only Us . '' '' Charles Isherwood , in his review of the Second Stage production for The New York Times , noted : `` The songs , by Benj Pasek and Justin Paul ( Dogfight , A Christmas Story ) , strike the same complex notes , with shapely , heartfelt lyrics that expose the tensions and conflicts that Connor 's death and Evan 's involvement cause in both families . The music , played by a small but excellent band on a platform upstage , is appealingly unstrident pop - rock , with generous doses of acoustic guitar , keyboards and strings . It 's the finest , most emotionally resonant score yet from this promising young songwriting team . '' Dear Evan Hansen is a recipient of the Edgerton Foundation New Play Award .

Amrita Bazar Patrika
Amrita Bazar Patrika - wikipedia Amrita Bazar Patrika Jump to : navigation , search Amrita Bazar Patrika Type Daily newspaper Format Broadsheet Owner ( s ) Amritabazar Pvt. Ltd . Founder ( s ) Sisir Kumar Ghose and Moti Lal Ghosh Editor Mahmud Hossain Founded 20 February 1868 ; 149 years ago ( 1868 - 02 - 20 ) Language Bengali and English ( bilingual ) Headquarters 77 , C.R. Dutta Road , Dhaka - 1205 Circulation 25,000 ( before 1991 ) Website www.amritabazar.com Amrita Bazar Patrika ( Bengali : অমৃতবাজার পত্রিকা ) ; is one of the oldest daily newspapers in South Asia and the oldest in Bangladesh . Originally published in Bengali script , it evolved into an English format published from Kolkata and other locations such as Cuttack , Ranchi and Allahabad . The paper discontinued its publication in 1991 after 123 years of publication , although it was relaunched in Dhaka in 2006 where it is now published in Bengali once again . It debuted on 20 February 1868 . It was started by Sisir Ghosh and Moti Lal Ghosh , sons of Hari Naryan Ghosh , a rich merchant from Magura , in Jessore District during the Bengal Presidency of the British Raj ( present day in Bangladesh ) . The family had constructed a Bazaar and named it after Amritamoyee , wife of Hari Naryan Ghosh . Sisir Ghosh and Moti Lal Ghosh started Amrita Bazar Patrika as a weekly first . It was first edited by Motilal Ghosh , who did not have a formal university education . It had built its readership as a rival to Bengalee which was being looked after by Surendranath Banerjee . Contents ( hide ) 1 History 2 Archives 3 References 4 External sources History ( edit ) Amrita Bazaar Patrika was the oldest Indian - owned English daily . It played a major role in the evolution and growth of Indian journalism and made a striking contribution to creating and nurturing the Indian freedom struggle . In 1920 , Russian Communist revolutionary Vladimir Lenin described ABP as the best nationalist paper in India . ABP was born as a Bengali weekly in February 1868 in the village of Amrita Bazaar in Jessore district ( now located in modern - day Bangladesh ) . It was started by the Ghosh brothers to fight the cause of peasants who were being exploited by indigo planters . Sisir Kumar Ghosh was the first editor . The Patrika operated out of a battered wooden press purchased for Rs 32 . In 1871 , the Patrika moved to Calcutta ( now Kolkata ) , due to the outbreak of plague in Amrita Bazaar . Here it functioned as a bilingual weekly , publishing news and views in English and Bengali . Its anti-government views and vast influence among the people was a thorn in the flesh of the government . Lord Lytton , the Viceroy of India promulgated the Vernacular Press Act on 1878 mainly against ABP . The Patrika became a daily in 1891 . It was the first Indian - owned English daily to go into investigative journalism . During the tenure of Lord Lansdowne , a Patrika journalist rummaged through the waste paper basket of the Viceroy 's office and pieced together a torn up letter detailing the Viceroy 's plans to annexe Kashmir . ABP published the letter on its front page , where it was read by the Maharaja of Kashmir , who immediately went to London and lobbied for his independence . Sisir Kumar Ghosh also launched vigorous campaigns against restrictions on civil liberties and economic exploitation . He wanted Indians to be given important posts in the administration . Both he and his brother Motilal were deeply attached to Bal Gangadhar Tilak . When Tilak was prosecuted for sedition in 1897 , they raised funds in Calcutta for his defence . They also published a scathing editorial against the judge who sentenced Tilak to 6 years of imprisonment , for ' presuming to teach true patriotism to a proved and unparalleled patriot . ' The Patrika had many brushes with Lord Curzon , the Viceroy of India at the time of the Partition of Bengal ( 1905 ) . It referred to him as ' Young and a little foppish , and without previous training but invested with unlimited powers . ' Because of such editorials , the Press Act of 1910 was passed and a security of Rs 5,000 was demanded from ABP . Motilal Ghosh was also charged with sedition but his eloquence won the case . After this , the Patrika started prefacing articles criticising the British government with ridiculously exuberant professions of loyalty to the British crown . When Subhas Chandra Bose and other students were expelled from Calcutta Presidency College , the Patrika took up their case and succeeded in having them re-admitted . Even after Motilal Ghosh 's death in 1922 , the Patrika kept up its nationalist spirit . Higher securities of Rs 10,000 were demanded from it during the Salt Satyagraha . Its editor Tushar Kanti Ghosh ( son of Sisir Kumar Ghosh ) was imprisoned . The Patrika contributed its share to the success of its freedom movement under the leadership of Gandhi and suffered for its views and actions at the hands of the British rulers . The Patrika espoused the cause of communal harmony during the Partition of India . During the great Calcutta killings of 1946 , the Patrika left its editorial columns blank for three days . When freedom dawned on August 15 , 1947 , the Patrika published in an editorial : It is dawn , cloudy though it is . Presently sunshine will break . Archives ( edit ) This Hopkinson & Cope press was used for the Amrita Bazar Patrika . Now it is at the National Science Centre , New Delhi . As a part of the ' Endangered Archive project ' attempting to rescue text published prior to 1950 , the Centre for Studies in Social Sciences , Calcutta took up the project of digitizing the old newspapers ( ABP and Jugantar ) for safe storage and retrieval in 2010 . The newspaper archives are also available from the Nehru Memorial Museum & Library , Delhi , and in 2011 over one lakh images from the newspaper were digitized by the library and available online . and also at The Centre of South Asian Studies at the University of Cambridge .

1st Academy Awards
1st Academy Awards - Wikipedia 1st Academy Awards Jump to : navigation , search 1st Academy Awards The first Academy Awards was at The Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel . Date May 16 , 1929 ( 1929 - 05 - 16 ) Site Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel Hollywood , Los Angeles , California , U.S. Hosted by Douglas Fairbanks Highlights Best Picture Wings Most awards 7th Heaven and Sunrise : A Song of Two Humans ( 3 ) Most nominations 7th Heaven ( 5 ) Academy Awards 2nd → The 1st Academy Awards ceremony , presented by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences ( AMPAS ) , honored the best films of 1927 and 1928 and took place on May 16 , 1929 at a private dinner held at the Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel in Los Angeles , California . AMPAS president Douglas Fairbanks hosted the show . Tickets cost $5 ( which would be $71 in 2017 considering inflation ) , 270 people attended the event and the presentation ceremony lasted 15 minutes . Awards were created by Louis B. Mayer , founder of Louis B. Mayer Pictures Corporation ( at present merged into Metro - Goldwyn - Mayer ) . It is the only Academy Awards ceremony not to be broadcast either on radio or television . The radio broadcast was introduced the following year in 1930 . During the ceremony , the AMPAS presented Academy Awards , now known as the Oscars in 12 categories . Winners were announced three months before the live event . Some nominations were announced without reference to a specific film , such as for Ralph Hammeras and Nugent Slaughter , who received nominations in the now defunct category of Engineering Effects . Unlike later ceremonies , an actor could be awarded for multiple works within a calendar year for the same category . Emil Jannings , for example , was given the Best Actor award for his work in both The Way of All Flesh and The Last Command . Also , Charlie Chaplin and Warner Brothers each received an Honorary Award . Major winners at the ceremony included 7th Heaven and Sunrise , which each received three awards , and Wings , receiving two awards . Among its honors , Sunrise won the award for Unique and Artistic Picture and Wings won the award for Outstanding Picture ( now known as Best Picture ) . These two categories at the time were regarded equally as the top award of the night intended to honor different and important aspects of superior filmmaking . The next year , the Academy dropped the Unique and Artistic Picture award , and decided retroactively that the award won by Wings was the highest honor that could be awarded .

Mayer , originator of Louis B. Mayer Pictures Corporation , which then would be joined into Metro - Goldwyn - Mayer ( MGM ) . Mayer 's purpose in creating the award was to unite the five branches of the film industry , including actors , directors , producers , technicians , and writers . Mayer commented on the creation of the awards `` I found that the best way to handle ( filmmakers ) was to hang medals all over them ... If I got them cups and awards , they 'd kill them to produce what I wanted . That 's why the Academy Award was created '' . Mayer asked Cedric Gibbons , art director of MGM , to design an Academy Award trophy . Nominees were notified through a telegram in February 1928 . In August 1928 , Mayer contacted the Academy Central Board of Judges to decide winners . However , according to the American director King Vidor , the voting for the Academy Award for Best Picture was in the hands of the AMPAS founders Douglas Fairbanks , Sid Grauman , Mayer , Mary Pickford , and Joseph Schenck . Ceremony ( edit ) The ceremony was held on May 16 , 1929 at the Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel , located in Los Angeles . It consisted of a private dinner with 36 banquet tables , where 270 people attended and tickets cost five dollars ( equivalent to $71.26 in 2017 ) . Actors and actresses arrived at the hotel in luxury vehicles , where many fans attended to encourage celebrities . The ceremony was not broadcast on radio or television , and was hosted by AMPAS director Fairbanks during a 15 - minute event . Winners and nominees ( edit ) Winners were announced three months before the ceremony . The recipients included : Emil Jannings , the inaugural first award recipient for Best Actor ( The Way of All Flesh and The Last Command ) ; Janet Gaynor for Best Actress ( 7th Heaven , Street Angel , and Sunrise : A Song of Two Humans ) ; Frank Borzage for Best Director , Drama ( 7th Heaven ) ; Lewis Milestone for Best Director , Comedy ( Two Arabian Knights ) ; and Wings for Best Picture ( the most expensive film of its time ) . Two presentations were made of a Special Award : Charlie Chaplin , a multiple nominee for one movie ( Best Actor , Best Writer and Best Director , Comedy ; all for The Circus ) having been removed from the list so as to recognize his total contribution to the industry ; and Warner Brothers , an award for pioneering talking pictures ( The Jazz Singer ) . Three categories were eliminated for subsequent presentations : Best Engineering Effects , Best Title Writing , and Best Unique and Artistic Quality of Production . The larger film producers received the preponderance of awards : Fox Film Corporation , Metro - Goldwyn - Mayer , Paramount Pictures , Radio - Keith - Orpheum , and Warner Bros ...

when did the first oscar ceremony take place
[ "The 1st Academy Awards ceremony, presented by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences (AMPAS), honored the best films of 1927 and 1928 and took place on May 16, 1929 at a private dinner held at the Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel in Los Angeles, California. AMPAS president Douglas Fairbanks hosted the show. Tickets cost $5 (which would be $71 in 2017 considering inflation), 270 people attended the event and the presentation ceremony lasted 15 minutes. Awards were created by Louis B. Mayer, founder of Louis B. Mayer Pictures Corporation (at present merged into Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer). It is the only Academy Awards ceremony not to be broadcast either on radio or television. The radio broadcast was introduced the following year in 1930." ]

List of mathematical symbols
List of mathematical symbols - wikipedia List of mathematical symbols This list is incomplete ; you can help by expanding it . This is a list of symbols used in all branches of mathematics to express a formula or to represent a constant . A mathematical concept is independent of the symbol chosen to represent it . For many of the symbols below , the symbol is usually synonymous with the corresponding concept ( ultimately an arbitrary choice made as a result of the cumulative history of mathematics ) , but in some situations , a different convention may be used . For example , depending on context , the triple bar `` ≡ '' may represent congruence or a definition . However , in mathematical logic , numerical equality is sometimes represented by `` ≡ '' instead of `` = '' , with the latter representing equality of well - formed formulas . In short , convention dictates the meaning . Each symbol is shown both in HTML , whose display depends on the browser 's access to an appropriate font installed on the particular device , and typeset as an image using TeX . Contents 1 Guide 2 Basic symbols 3 Symbols based on equality 4 Symbols that point left or right 5 Brackets 6 Other non-letter symbols 7 Letter - based symbols 7.1 Letter modifiers 7.2 Symbols based on Latin letters 7.3 Symbols based on Hebrew or Greek letters 8 Variations 9 See also 10 References 11 External links Guide ( edit ) This list is organized by symbol type and is intended to facilitate finding an unfamiliar symbol by its visual appearance . For a related list organized by mathematical topic , see List of mathematical symbols by subject . That list also includes LaTeX and HTML markup , and Unicode code points for each symbol ( note that this article does n't have the latter two , but they could certainly be added ) . There is a Wikibooks guide for using maths in LaTeX , and a comprehensive LaTeX symbol list . It is also possible to check to see if a Unicode code point is available as a LaTeX command , or vice versa . Also note that where there is no LaTeX command natively available for a particular symbol ( although there may be options that require adding packages ) , the symbol could be added via other options , such as setting the document up to support Unicode , and entering the character in a variety of ways ( e.g. copying and pasting , keyboard shortcuts , the \ unicode ( < insertcodepoint > ) command ) as well as other options and extensive additional information . Basic symbols : Symbols widely used in mathematics , roughly through first - year calculus . More advanced meanings are included with some symbols listed here . Symbols based on equality `` = '' : Symbols derived from or similar to the equal sign , including double - headed arrows . Not surprisingly these symbols are often associated with an equivalence relation . Symbols that point left or right : Symbols , such as < and > , that appear to point to one side or another . Brackets : Symbols that are placed on either side of a variable or expression , such as x . Other non-letter symbols : Symbols that do not fall in any of the other categories . Letter - based symbols : Many mathematical symbols are based on , or closely resemble , a letter in some alphabet . This section includes such symbols , including symbols that resemble upside - down letters . Many letters have conventional meanings in various branches of mathematics and physics . These are not listed here . The See also section , below , has several lists of such usages . Letter modifiers : Symbols that can be placed on or next to any letter to modify the letter 's meaning . Symbols based on Latin letters , including those symbols that resemble or contain an X Symbols based on Hebrew or Greek letters e.g. ב , א , δ , Δ , π , Π , σ , Σ , Φ . Note : symbols resembling Λ are grouped with `` V '' under Latin letters .

It is sometimes used in physics texts involving equations regarding Gauss 's Law , and while these formulas involve a closed surface integral , the representations describe only the first integration of the volume over the enclosing surface . Instances where the latter requires simultaneous double integration , the symbol ∮∮ would be more appropriate . A third related symbol is the closed volume integral , denoted by the symbol ∮∮∮ . The contour integral can also frequently be found with a subscript capital letter C , ∮ , denoting that a closed loop integral is , in fact , around a contour C , or sometimes dually appropriately , a circle C. In representations of Gauss 's Law , a subscript capital S , ∮ , is used to denote that the integration is over a closed surface .

The Steelers compete in the National Football League ( NFL ) , as a member club of the league 's American Football Conference ( AFC ) North division . Founded in 1933 , the Steelers are the oldest franchise in the AFC . In contrast with their status as perennial also - rans in the pre-merger NFL , where they were the oldest team never to win a league championship , the Steelers of the post-merger ( modern ) era are one of the most successful NFL franchises . Pittsburgh has won more Super Bowl titles ( 6 ) and both played in ( 16 ) and hosted more conference championship games ( 11 ) than any other NFL team . The Steelers have won 8 AFC championships , tied with the Denver Broncos , but behind the New England Patriots ' record 9 AFC championships . The Steelers share the record for second most Super Bowl appearances with the Broncos , and Dallas Cowboys ( 8 ) . The Steelers lost their most recent championship appearance , Super Bowl XLV , on February 6 , 2011 . The Steelers , whose history traces to a regional pro team that was established in the early 1920s , joined the NFL as the Pittsburgh Pirates on July 8 , 1933 , owned by Art Rooney and taking its original name from the baseball team of the same name , as was common practice for NFL teams at the time . To distinguish them from the baseball team , local media took to calling the football team the Rooneymen , an unofficial nickname which persisted for decades after the team adopted its current nickname . The ownership of the Steelers has remained within the Rooney family since its founding . Art 's son , Dan Rooney owned the team from 1988 until his death in 2017 . Much control of the franchise has been given to Dan 's son Art Rooney II . The Steelers enjoy a large , widespread fanbase nicknamed Steeler Nation . The Steelers currently play their home games at Heinz Field on Pittsburgh 's North Side in the North Shore neighborhood , which also hosts the University of Pittsburgh Panthers . Built in 2001 , the stadium replaced Three Rivers Stadium which hosted the Steelers for 31 seasons . Prior to Three Rivers , the Steelers had played their games in Pitt Stadium and Forbes Field .

See also : American football in Western Pennsylvania The Pittsburgh Steelers of the NFL first took to the field as the Pittsburgh Pirates on September 20 , 1933 , losing 23 -- 2 to the New York Giants . Through the 1930s , the Pirates never finished higher than second place in their division , or with a record better than . 500 ( 1936 ) . Pittsburgh did make history in 1938 by signing Byron White , a future Justice of the U.S. Supreme Court , to what was at the time the biggest contract in NFL history , but he played only one year with the Pirates before signing with the Detroit Lions . Prior to the 1940 season , the Pirates renamed themselves the Steelers . During World War II , the Steelers experienced player shortages . They twice merged with other NFL franchises to field a team . During the 1943 season , they merged with the Philadelphia Eagles forming the `` Phil - Pitt Eagles '' and were known as the `` Steagles '' . This team went 5 -- 4 -- 1 . In 1944 , they merged with the Chicago Cardinals and were known as Card - Pitt ( or , mockingly , as the `` Carpets '' ) . This team finished 0 -- 10 , marking the only winless team in franchise history . The Steelers made the playoffs for the first time in 1947 , tying for first place in the division at 8 -- 4 with the Philadelphia Eagles . This forced a tie - breaking playoff game at Forbes Field , which the Steelers lost 21 -- 0 . That would be Pittsburgh 's only playoff game for the next 25 years ; they did qualify for a `` Playoff Bowl '' in 1962 as the second - best team in their conference , but this was not considered an official playoff . In 1970 , the year they moved into Three Rivers Stadium and the year of the AFL -- NFL merger , the Pittsburgh Steelers were one of three old - guard NFL teams to switch to the newly formed American Football Conference ( the others being the Cleveland Browns and the Baltimore Colts ) , in order to equalize the number of teams in the two conferences of the newly merged league . The Steelers also received a $3 million ( $18.9 million today ) relocation fee , which was a windfall for them ; for years they rarely had enough to build a true contending team . The Chuck Noll era For more details on this topic , see Chuck Noll . The Steelers ' history of bad luck changed with the hiring of coach Chuck Noll for the 1969 season . Noll 's most remarkable talent was in his draft selections , taking Hall of Famers `` Mean '' Joe Greene in 1969 , Terry Bradshaw and Mel Blount in 1970 , Jack Ham in 1971 , Franco Harris in 1972 , and finally , in 1974 , pulling off the incredible feat of selecting four Hall of Famers in one draft year , Lynn Swann , Jack Lambert , John Stallworth , and Mike Webster . The Pittsburgh Steelers ' 1974 draft was their best ever ; no other team has ever drafted four future Hall of Famers in one year , and only very few ( including the 1970 Steelers ) have drafted two or more in one year . The players drafted in the early 1970s formed the base of an NFL dynasty , making the playoffs in eight seasons and becoming the only team in NFL history to win four Super Bowls in six years , as well as the first to win more than two . They also enjoyed a regular season streak of 49 consecutive wins ( 1971 -- 1979 ) against teams that would finish with a losing record that year . The Steelers suffered a rash of injuries in the 1980 season and missed the playoffs with a 9 -- 7 record . The 1981 season was no better , with an 8 -- 8 showing . The team was then hit with the retirements of all their key players from the Super Bowl years . `` Mean '' Joe Greene retired after the 1981 season , Lynn Swann and Jack Ham after 1982 's playoff berth , Terry Bradshaw and Mel Blount after 1983 's divisional championship , and Jack Lambert after 1984 's AFC Championship Game appearance . After those retirements , the franchise skidded to its first losing seasons since 1971 . Though still competitive , the Steelers would not finish above . 500 in 1985 , 1986 , and 1988 . In 1987 , the year of the players ' strike , the Steelers finished with a record of 8 -- 7 , but missed the playoffs . In 1989 , they would reach the second round of the playoffs on the strength of Merrill Hoge and Rod Woodson before narrowly missing the playoffs in each of the next two seasons . Noll 's career record with Pittsburgh was 209 -- 156 -- 1 . The Bill Cowher era For more details on this topic , see Bill Cowher . In 1992 , Chuck Noll retired and was succeeded by Kansas City Chiefs defensive coordinator Bill Cowher , a native of the Pittsburgh suburb of Crafton . Steelers ' five Super Bowl rings before 2009 Cowher led the Steelers to the playoffs in each of his first six seasons , a feat that had been accomplished only by legendary coach Paul Brown of the Cleveland Browns . In those first six seasons , Cowher coached them as deep as the AFC Championship Game three times and following the 1995 season an appearance in Super Bowl XXX on the strength of the `` Blitzburgh '' defense . However , the Steelers lost to the Dallas Cowboys in Super Bowl XXX , two weeks after a thrilling AFC Championship victory over the Indianapolis Colts . Cowher produced the franchise 's record - tying fifth Super Bowl win in Super Bowl XL over the National Football Conference champion Seattle Seahawks ten years later . With that victory , the Steelers became the third team to win five Super Bowls , and the first sixth - seeded playoff team to reach and win the Super Bowl since the NFL expanded to a 12 - team post-season tournament in 1990 . He coached through the 2006 season which ended with an 8 -- 8 record , just short of the playoffs . Overall Cowher 's teams reached the playoffs 10 of 15 seasons with six AFC Championship Games , two Super Bowl berths and a championship . Cowher 's career record with Pittsburgh was 149 -- 90 -- 1 in the regular season and 161 -- 99 -- 1 overall , including playoff games . The Mike Tomlin era For more details on this topic , see Mike Tomlin . Roethlisberger in a Steelers ' throwback jersey during 500th franchise win On January 7 , 2007 , Cowher resigned from coaching the Steelers , citing a need to spend more time with his family . He did not use the term `` retire '' , leaving open a possible return to the NFL as coach of another team . A three - man committee consisting of Art Rooney II , Dan Rooney , and Kevin Colbert was set up to conduct interviews for the head coaching vacancy . The candidates interviewed included : offensive coordinator Ken Whisenhunt , offensive line coach Russ Grimm , former offensive coordinator Chan Gailey , Minnesota Vikings defensive coordinator Mike Tomlin , and Chicago Bears defensive coordinator Ron Rivera . On January 22 , 2007 , Mike Tomlin was announced as Cowher 's successor as head coach . Tomlin is the first African - American to be named head coach of the Pittsburgh Steelers in its 75 - year history . Tomlin became the third consecutive Steelers Head Coach to go to the Super Bowl , equaling the Dallas Cowboys ( Tom Landry , Jimmy Johnson and Barry Switzer ) in this achievement . He was named the Motorola 2008 Coach of the Year . On February 1 , 2009 , Tomlin led the Steelers to their second Super Bowl of this decade , and went on to win 27 -- 23 against the Arizona Cardinals . At age 36 , he was the youngest head coach to ever win the Super Bowl , and he is only the second African - American coach to ever win the Super Bowl ( Tony Dungy was the first ) . The 2010 season made Tomlin the only coach to reach the Super Bowl twice before the age of 40 . Tomlin led the team to his second Super Bowl ( Super Bowl XLV ) on Feb. 6 , 2011 . However , the Steelers were defeated in their eighth Super Bowl appearance by the Green Bay Packers by the score of 31 -- 25 . The Steelers recorded their 400th victory in 2012 after defeating the Washington Redskins . Through the 2016 season , Tomlin 's record is 111 -- 63 , including playoffs . He is the first Pittsburgh coach without a losing season . The 2013 -- 2017 seasons were noted for record performances from the `` killer B 's '' . This trio consisted of Antonio Brown , Ben Roethlisberger and Le'Veon Bell . Occasionally , the `` Killer B 's '' has also included kicker Chris Boswell due to his ability to hit game - winning field goals . Summary Since the NFL merger in 1970 , the Pittsburgh Steelers have compiled a regular season record of 444 -- 282 -- 2 (. 635 ) and an overall record of 480 - 305 - 2 (. 635 ) including the playoffs , reached the playoffs 30 times , won their division 22 times , played in 16 AFC championship games , and won six of eight Super Bowls . They are also the only NFL team not to have a season with twelve or more losses since the league expanded to a 16 - game schedule in 1978 . Ownership Heinz Field , current home of the Pittsburgh Steelers Since 2008 , the Rooney family has brought in several investors for the team while retaining control of the team itself . This came about so that the team could comply with NFL ownership regulations . Dan Rooney , and his son , Art Rooney II , president of the franchise , wanted to stay involved with the franchise , while two of the brothers -- Timothy and Patrick -- wanted to further pursue racetracks that they own in Florida and New York . Since 2006 , many of the racetracks have added video slot machines , causing them to violate `` NFL policy that prohibits involvement with racetrack and gambling interests '' . Upon Dan Rooney 's death in 2017 , he and Art Rooney II retained control of the team with the league - minimum 30 % , the following make up the other investors : Several other members of the Rooney family , including Art Rooney Jr. , John Rooney , and the McGinley family , who are cousins to the Rooneys . Legendary Pictures president and CEO Thomas Tull . The Robert A. Paul family of Pittsburgh and Los Angeles , which is primarily involved with Pittsburgh - based Ampco Pittsburgh Corporation as well as Morton 's Restaurant Group , Urban Active Fitness , Meyer Products and Harley Marine Services . Additionally , family members serve on numerous boards , including Cornell University , UPMC , University of Pittsburgh , the American Red Cross , Harvard Medical School and the Loomis Chaffee School .

Through the end of the 2015 season , the Steelers have an all - time record of 624 -- 552 -- 21 , including playoffs . In recent seasons the Steelers have generally performed well , qualifying for the playoffs six times in the past ten seasons and winning the Super Bowl twice since 2005 . In the NFL 's `` modern era '' ( since the AFL -- NFL merger in 1970 ) the Steelers have posted the best record in the league . The franchise has won the most regular season games , the most playoff games ( 33 playoff wins ; the Dallas Cowboys are second with 32 ) , won the most divisional titles ( 20 ) , has played in the most conference championship games ( 15 ) , hosted the most conference championship games ( 11 ) , and is tied with the Dallas Cowboys , the Denver Broncos and the New England Patriots for the most Super Bowl appearances ( 8 ) . The Steelers have the best winning percentage ( including every expansion team ) , earned the most All - Pro nominations , and have accumulated the most Super Bowl wins ( 6 ) since the modern game started in 1970 . Since the merger , the team 's playoff record is 33 -- 19 (. 635 ) , which is second best in terms of playoff winning percentage behind the Green Bay Packers ' playoff record of 28 -- 16 (. 636 ) , through January 23 , 2011 . Civil rights advocacy The franchise , along with the Rooney family have for generations been strong advocates for equality of opportunity for both minorities and women . Among these achievements of the Steelers was the first to hire an African - American Assistant Coach ( September 29 , 1957 with Lowell Perry ) , the first to start an African - American quarterback ( December 3 , 1973 with Joe Gilliam ) , the first team to boast of an African - American Super Bowl MVP ( January 12 , 1975 with Franco Harris ) , the first to hire an African - American Coordinator ( September 2 , 1984 with Tony Dungy ) , the first owner to push for passage of an `` equal opportunity '' mandating that at least one minority candidate is given an interview in all head coach hiring decisions throughout the league ( the Rooney Rule in the early 2000s ) , and the first to hire a female as full - time athletic trainer ( Ariko Iso on July 24 , 2002 ) . Note : Although Marlin Briscoe is sometimes erroneously cited as the first African - American starting quarterback in 1968 , this was not for an NFL team and not in an NFL game , additionally the vast majority of Briscoe 's career was not as quarterback . Logo and uniforms For more details on this topic , see Logos and uniforms of the Pittsburgh Steelers . US Airways logo jet featuring the colors of the Pittsburgh Steelers The script logo . The Steelers have used black and gold as their colors since the club 's inception , the lone exception being the 1943 season when they merged with the Philadelphia Eagles and formed the `` Steagles '' ; the team 's colors at that time were green and white as a result of wearing Eagles uniforms . Originally , the team wore solid gold - colored helmets and black jerseys . The Steelers ' black and gold colors are now shared by all major professional teams in the city , including the Pittsburgh Pirates in baseball and the Pittsburgh Penguins in ice hockey , and also the Pittsburgh Power of the re-formed Arena Football League , and the Pittsburgh Passion of the Independent Women 's Football League . The shade of gold differs slightly among teams : the Penguins have previously used `` Vegas Gold '' , a color similar to metallic gold , and the Pirates ' gold is a darker mustard yellow - gold , while the Steelers `` gold '' is more of a bright canary yellow . Black and gold are also the colors of the city 's official flag . The Steelers logo was introduced in 1962 and is based on the `` Steelmark '' , originally designed by Pittsburgh 's U.S. Steel and now owned by the American Iron and Steel Institute ( AISI ) . In fact , it was Cleveland - based Republic Steel that suggested the Steelers adopt the industry logo . It consists of the word `` Steelers '' surrounded by three astroids ( hypocycloids of four cusps ) . The original meanings behind the astroids were , `` Steel lightens your work , brightens your leisure , and widens your world . '' Later , the colors came to represent the ingredients used in the steel - making process : yellow for coal , red for iron ore , and blue for scrap steel . While the formal Steelmark logo contains only the word `` Steel '' , the team was given permission to add `` ers '' in 1963 after a petition to AISI . The Steelers are the only NFL team that puts its logo on only one side of the helmet ( the right side ) . Longtime field and equipment manager Jack Hart was instructed to do this by Art Rooney as a test to see how the logo appeared on the gold helmets ; however , its popularity led the team to leave it that way permanently . A year after introducing the logo , they switched to black helmets to make it stand out more . The Steelers , along with the New York Giants , are one of only two teams in the National Football League to have the players ' uniform numbers on both the front and back of the helmets . The current uniform designs were introduced in 1968 . The design consists of gold pants and either black jerseys or white jerseys , except for the 1970 and 1971 seasons when the Steelers wore white pants with their white jerseys . In 1997 , the team switched to rounded numbers on the jersey to match the number font ( Futura Condensed ) on the helmets , and a Steelers logo was added to the left side of the jersey . The 2007 -- 2011 third uniform , consisting of a black jersey with gold lettering , white pants with black and gold stripes , and a gold helmet were first used during the Steelers ' 75th anniversary season in 2007 . They were meant to evoke the memory of the 1963 -- 1964 era uniforms . The uniforms were so popular among fans that the Steelers ' organization decided to keep them and use them as a third option during home games only . In 2012 , the Steelers introduced a new third uniform , consisting of a yellow jersey with black horizontal lines ( making a bumble bee like pattern ) with black lettering and black numbers placed inside a white box , to represent the jerseys worn by the Steelers in their 1934 season . The rest of the uniform consists of beige pants , yellow with black horizontal stripped socks , and the Steelers regular black helmet . The uniforms were used for the Steelers ' 80th anniversary season . Much like the previous alternate these jerseys were so popular that they were used up through the 2016 season . The jerseys were nicknamed the `` bumblebee jerseys '' due to looking like the pattern of a bumble bee . The jerseys were retired after the 2016 season . In 2008 -- 2009 , the Steelers became the first team in NFL history to defeat an opponent three times in a single season using three different uniforms . They defeated the Baltimore Ravens in Pittsburgh in Week 4 in their third jerseys , again Week 15 in Baltimore in their road whites , and a final time in the AFC Championship in Pittsburgh in their home black jerseys . In 1979 , the team owners were approached by then - Iowa Hawkeyes Head Coach Hayden Fry about designing his fading college team 's uniforms in the image of the Steelers . Three days later , the owners sent Fry the reproduction jerseys ( home and away versions ) of then quarterback Terry Bradshaw . Today , the Hawkeyes still retain the 1979 Steelers uniforms as their home , and away colors . Rivals This section does not cite any sources . Please help improve this section by adding citations to reliable sources . Unsourced material may be challenged and removed . ( July 2013 ) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message ) The Pittsburgh Steelers have three primary rivals , all within their division : ( Cleveland Browns , Baltimore Ravens , and Cincinnati Bengals ) . They also have rivalries with other teams that arose from post-season battles in the past , most notably the New England Patriots , Oakland Raiders , Tennessee Titans and Dallas Cowboys . They also have an intrastate rivalry with the Philadelphia Eagles , but under the current scheduling the teams play each other only once every four years . Divisional rivals The Cleveland Browns and the Steelers have been divisional rivals since the two cities ' teams began playing against each other in 1950 . After posting a 9 -- 31 record in the first 40 games of the series between the two cities , the Steelers recently took over the all - time series lead for the first time ever ( 64 -- 56 ) ; partly due to their dominance over the post-1999 Cleveland Browns franchise and won twelve straight before the Browns snapped their losing skid against them by beating them 13 -- 6 on December 10 , 2009 . Additionally , the Browns lost 16 straight years in Pittsburgh from 1970 -- 1985 and posted an abysmal 5 -- 24 record at Three Rivers Stadium overall . Former Steelers head coach Bill Cowher coached the Browns special teams and secondary before following Marty Schottenheimer for a brief tenure as Kansas City Defensive Coordinator , and then hired by Pittsburgh . This has only intensified the rivalry . The Baltimore Ravens and the Steelers have had several memorable match - ups and have a bitter divisional rivalry . Both teams handed the other their first losses at their current home fields . The Steelers won the inaugural game played at Baltimore 's M&T Bank Stadium in 1998 , 20 -- 13 , and three years later the Ravens handed the Steelers their first - ever loss at Heinz Field , 13 -- 10 . Later that season ( 2001 ) Pittsburgh won a divisional playoff game 27 -- 10 against Baltimore , who was the defending Super Bowl champion . During their NFL championship season in 2000 , the Ravens defeated the Steelers in Pittsburgh , 16 -- 0 , in the season opener with the Steelers later exacting revenge , 9 -- 6 , in Baltimore ( the Ravens ' final loss of the season ) . During the Steelers 2008 Championship run , they beat the Ravens three times , including a win in the AFC Championship game . The Steelers lead the series ( begun in 1996 ) , 16 -- 10 . The two teams complement each other by consistently fielding strong defenses in their division . The Cincinnati Bengals -- Steelers rivalry dates from the 1970 season , when the AFL -- NFL merger was completed . In 1976 , the Steelers kept their playoff hopes alive ( they later won the division ) with a late - season 7 -- 3 win in snowy Cincinnati . One of the most memorable games was the 2005 AFC Wildcard playoff game , in which the Steelers , en route to a Super Bowl title , won a 31 -- 17 come - from - behind victory after Bengals QB Carson Palmer was forced to leave the game with a knee injury . The injury happened when nose tackle Kimo von Oelhoffen contacted Palmer 's knee during a passing play . The Bengals players called this a dirty play ; the NFL ruled that it was accidental and did not fine von Oelhoffen for the hit . This incident has led to an intensifying of the rivalry since this game . The Bengals beat the Steelers in week 13 of the 2005 season 38 -- 31 , and wide receiver T.J. Houshmandzadeh used a Terrible Towel to polish his cleats while walking up the tunnel after the game , fueling the rivalry . The Steelers and Bengals finished 2005 and 2006 with identical records ( 11 -- 5 and 8 -- 8 respectively ) , splitting both regular - season series , the Bengals winning the tiebreaker both years due to having a superior division record . The Steelers also are responsible for ending the Bengals ' season in Cincinnati two years in a row , eliminating them from the playoffs in 2005 and taking them out of contention in 2006 . The Steelers lead the all - time series , 52 -- 32 . Historic rivals The Raiders -- Steelers rivalry was one of the most heated of the 1970s and early to mid-1980s . The Steelers ' first playoff win was a 13 -- 7 victory over the Raiders by way of Franco Harris 's Immaculate Reception on December 23 , 1972 . The wild card Pittsburgh football team was knocked out of the playoffs the following year by the Raiders in the 1973 AFC Divisional round 33 -- 14 , but fired back with two straight AFC Championships in 1974 24 -- 13 and 1975 16 -- 10 over Oakland . Oakland responded with a victory over Pittsburgh in the 1976 AFC Championship game 24 -- 7 ( the third consecutive AFC title game between the two teams ) , but not before Chuck Noll referred to Oakland 's George Atkinson as part of the NFL 's `` criminal element '' after his alleged cheap - shot on Lynn Swann during a regular - season matchup . Atkinson and the Raiders later filed a defamation of character lawsuit against Noll , but lost . Following the 1983 regular season , the Los Angeles Raiders defeated the Steelers 38 -- 10 in the AFC Divisional round which turned out to be the last NFL game for Steeler Pro Football Hall of Fame quarterback Terry Bradshaw who did not play due to injury . While the rivalry has dissipated over the years ( mostly due to Oakland 's decline after 2002 ) , the teams have had notable games against each other including an upset Steelers victory towards the end of the 2000 season to prevent the Raiders from obtaining homefield advantage in the playoffs , and an upset Raiders victory in week 8 of the 2006 NFL season ( 20 -- 13 ) , which helped cost the Steelers a playoff berth ; three years later another Raiders upset took place . In Week 13 , the game lead changed five times on five touchdowns in the fourth quarter ; Bruce Gradkowski 's third touchdown of the quarter won it with nine seconds to go , and the 27 -- 24 loss cost the Steelers another playoff run . The teams met at Pittsburgh in 2010 , where the Steelers blew out the Raiders 35 -- 3 , and ended their 3 - game winning streak ; the game was further notable for a punch thrown by Richard Seymour of the Raiders against Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger . The Raiders then hosted the Steelers in 2012 and erased a 31 -- 21 gap to win 34 -- 31 . The two clubs met again in 2013 and the Raiders won again , 21 -- 18 . The Steelers trail the all - time series 14 -- 12 ( 11 -- 9 in regular season ) . The Cowboys -- Steelers rivalry started with the Cowboys ' first game as a franchise in 1960 ( against the Steelers ) at the Cotton Bowl with the Steelers coming away with a 35 -- 28 victory . These teams hold a record for the most times ( three ) that two teams have met in a Super Bowl . The first two times the favored Steelers and Cowboys met came with Pittsburgh victories in the Orange Bowl Super Bowl X 21 -- 17 and Super Bowl XIII 35 -- 31 . The Cowboys never won a regular season game in the Orange Bowl and lost three Super Bowl games ( once to the Baltimore Colts and twice to the Steelers ) . Between the Cowboys and Steelers , Super Bowl XIII had the greatest number of future Pro Football Hall of Fame players participating , which as of 2010 numbered 20 -- 14 players and six coaches / front office , including Ernie Stautner , defensive coordinator for the Cowboys who was a HoF defensive tackle for the Steelers . The teams featured an all - star matchup at quarterback between the Steelers ' Terry Bradshaw and the Cowboys ' Roger Staubach , both of whom are in the Hall of Fame . In 1977 , Staubach and the Cowboys won Super Bowl XII , their second and last loss of their season being inflicted by Bradshaw and the Steelers , 28 -- 13 at Three Rivers Stadium in November . In 1979 , Staubach 's final season , the two defending conference champs met again at Three Rivers , the Steelers winning 14 -- 3 en route to winning their fourth Super Bowl title . The Steelers won six of eight meetings during the 1970s and 80s , before the Cowboys won all four meetings during the 1990s , including the teams ' record third Super Bowl meeting in 1996 , as this time the heavily favored Cowboys beat the Steelers 27 -- 17 . Dallas cornerback Larry Brown intercepted Pittsburgh quarterback Neil O'Donnell twice and was named the game 's MVP . The teams ' first two meetings of the 21st century ( 2004 and 2008 ) were won by the Steelers , including a come from behind victory December 7 , 2008 in Pittsburgh , when the Steelers drove the length of the field to tie the game 13 -- 13 , then cornerback Deshea Townsend returned an intercepted pass from Tony Romo for the game 's final score , Steelers 20 , Cowboys 13 . The Cowboys won on December 16 , 2012 , at Cowboys Stadium by a 27 -- 24 margin in overtime and won 35 - 30 at Heinz Field on November 13 , 2016 . The all - time series is led by the Dallas Cowboys , 17 -- 15 . The Pittsburgh / Dallas rivalry served as a backdrop to the 1977 film Black Sunday , parts of which were filmed during Super Bowl X . The Denver Broncos in 2011 broke a tie with the Oakland Raiders for the most playoff meetings versus the Steelers and added yet another meeting in 2015 ( the Broncos have met Pittsburgh eight times to Oakland 's six ) . The rivalry dates from 1970 , but the first notable contest came in 1973 , when Denver dealt Pittsburgh its first regular - season defeat at Three Rivers Stadium , 23 -- 13 . The following year , they met in the NFL 's first regular - season overtime game , which ended in a 35 -- 35 tie . Denver 's first playoff game had them hosting the Steelers in the 1977 divisional round ; the Broncos won 34 -- 21 . The following year , the Steelers hosted and defeated Denver 33 -- 10 in the divisional round . Their next playoff matchup was the 1984 divisional round in Mile High Stadium ; the Steelers pulled the upset 24 -- 17 . They nearly pulled the upset again 5 years later in Denver , but the Broncos prevailed in the divisional playoff , 24 -- 23 . In 1997 , they met in Pittsburgh for the AFC Championship Game , where Denver squeaked out at 24 -- 21 win . Eight years later , the Steelers went to the Super Bowl by beating Denver 34 -- 17 in Colorado , only to have their campaign to repeat as AFC Champions dashed in Denver after a stunning overtime upset by the Tim Tebow lead Broncos in January 2012 . The following September the Steelers were defeated in Denver 31 -- 19 in Peyton Manning 's debut as Broncos quarterback . The two clubs met twice in 2015 , as the Steelers defeated the Broncos in the regular season but fell in the Divisional Round of the AFC playoffs ; Denver presently leads the series 19 -- 11 -- 1 , including 5 -- 3 in the playoffs . Neither team has beaten the other more than three times in a row . The rivalry between the Steelers and the New England Patriots emerged as a prominent rivalry in league circles when the Patriots upset the Steelers in the 2001 AFC Championship Game at Heinz Field , though the two teams had met in the postseason twice before -- the Patriots defeated the Steelers in 1996 28 - 3 while the Steelers won 7 - 6 in 1997 ; both times the Patriots fielded players in Ty Law and Curtis Martin with Pittsburgh - area roots ; Martin 's final game with the Patriots was in the 1997 playoffs before he departed to the rival New York Jets . Following the 2001 AFC title upset the Patriots defeated the Steelers 30 - 14 at the start of the 2002 season . Pittsburgh did not exact revenge for the two losses until ending the Patriots record - setting 21 - game winning streak in week 6 of the 2004 NFL season . Later that season , the Steelers lost to the eventual champion Patriots in the AFC Championship game after a 15 -- 1 season . The Patriots won six of seven meetings over a ten - year period ( 1998 -- 2007 ) before the Steelers broke through with a 33 -- 10 victory at Foxborough in 2008 , after Matt Cassel had turned the ball over five times . The Steelers lead the all - time regular season series , 13 -- 8 . The Patriots in 2013 then made history by becoming the first opponent to score 55 points on the Steelers , winning 55 -- 31 . The Patriots won again in 2015 ( 28 - 21 ) and 2016 's regular season ( 27 - 16 ) and then won 36 - 17 in the 2016 AFC Championship Game . In the postseason , the Patriots have outscored the Steelers 135 points to 75 , with the Patriots maintaining a 4 -- 1 record . The only other franchises with winning AFC playoff records against Steelers include the Miami Dolphins ( 2 -- 1 , both wins in the AFC Championship ) , the San Diego Chargers ( 2 -- 1 , all games played in Pittsburgh ) , the Jacksonville Jaguars ( 1 -- 0 , game at Heinz Field ) , and the Broncos ( 5 -- 3 ) . The Steelers have an all - time regular - season record of 14 -- 11 against the Patriots . Less well known is Pittsburgh 's rivalry with the Houston Oilers / Tennessee Titans franchise . The Oilers were aligned into the AFC Central with the Steelers in 1970 and were division rivals for 32 seasons . The Steelers dominated the rivalry during the Houston era and defeated the Oilers in three playoff matchups . But since the franchise moved to Tennessee the rivalry shifted , with the Titans winning 13 of 20 meetings ( including a bitter 34 -- 31 playoff showdown in 2002 ) post-Houston ; the Titans won seven in a row in the 1997 -- 2001 period , the longest win streak by either team in the series . The Steelers have won 45 of 77 career meetings following 2014 's 27 -- 24 win at LP Field . Culture Mascot Steely McBeam signing autographs for fans at Steelers training camp on August 2 , 2007 Prior to the 2007 season , the Steelers introduced Steely McBeam as their official mascot . As part of the 75th anniversary celebrations of the team , his name was selected from a pool of 70,000 suggestions submitted by fans of the team . Diane Roles of Middlesex Township , Butler County , Pennsylvania submitted the winning name which was `` meant to represent steel for Pittsburgh 's industrial heritage , `` Mc '' for the Rooney family 's Irish roots , and Beam for the steel beams produced in Pittsburgh , as well as for Jim Beam , her husband 's favorite alcoholic beverage . '' Steely McBeam is visible at all home games and participates in the team 's charitable programs and other club - sponsored events . Steely 's autograph is known to be drawn with an oversized ' S ' and the `` L '' is drawn to look like a beam of steel . Fanbase Main article : Steeler Nation The Steelers have a tradition of having a large fanbase , which has spread from Pittsburgh . In August 2008 , ESPN.com ranked the Steelers ' fans as the best in the NFL , citing their `` unbelievable '' sellout streak of 299 consecutive games . The team gained a large fan base nationally based on its success in the 1970s , but many consider the collapse of the city 's steel industry at the end of the 1970s dynasty into the 1980s ( and the resulting diaspora ) to be a large catalyst for the size of the fan base in other cities . The Steelers have sold out every home game since the 1972 season . The Pittsburgh Steelers have numerous unofficial fan clubs in many cities throughout the country , that typically meet in bars or taverns on game days . This phenomenon is known to occur for other NFL teams as well , but `` Steeler bars '' are more visible than most , including representative establishments even in cities that field their own NFL teams . Sailors and Marines aboard the USS Essex react as the Pittsburgh Steelers score against the Arizona Cardinals . The Terrible Towel has been described by the Associated Press as `` arguably the best - known fan symbol of any major pro sports team '' . Conceived of by broadcaster Myron Cope in 1975 , the towel 's rights have since been given to the Allegheny Valley School in Coraopolis , Pennsylvania , which cares for over 900 people with intellectual disability and physical disabilities , including Cope 's autistic son . Since 1996 , proceeds from the Terrible Towel have helped raise more than $2.5 million for the school . Fight songs This section does not cite any sources .

For thirty - one seasons , the Steelers shared Forbes Field with the Pittsburgh Pirates from 1933 to 1963 . In 1958 , though they started splitting their home games at Pitt Stadium three blocks away at the University of Pittsburgh . From 1964 to 1969 , the Steelers played exclusively at the on campus facility before moving with the Pirates to Three Rivers Stadium on the city 's Northside .

Since 2001 however a new generation of Steeler greats has made Heinz Field legendary with multiple AFC Championship Games being hosted and two Super Bowl championships .

Israel Kamakawiwoʻole
Israel Kamakawiwoʻole - Wikipedia Israel Kamakawiwoʻole Jump to : navigation , search Israel Kamakawiwoʻole Kamakawiwoʻole in 1993 Background information Birth name Israel Kaʻanoʻi Kamakawiwoʻole ( 1959 - 05 - 20 ) May 20 , 1959 Honolulu , Territory of Hawaii Origin Hawaii , United States June 26 , 1997 ( 1997 - 06 - 26 ) ( aged 38 ) Honolulu , Hawaii , U.S. Genres Hawaii folk world reggae Occupation ( s ) Singer - songwriter Instruments Ukulele vocals Years active 1976 -- 1997 Labels Mountain Apple Company Associated acts Mākaha Sons Israel Kaʻanoʻi Kamakawiwoʻole ( Hawaiian pronunciation : ( kəˌmɐkəˌvivoˈʔole ) , translation : `` The Fearless Eyed '' ; May 20 , 1959 -- June 26 , 1997 ) , also called Braddah Iz ( Brother Iz ) , was a Native Hawaiian musician , entertainer and Hawaiian sovereignty activist . His voice became famous outside Hawaii when his album Facing Future was released in 1993 . His medley of `` Somewhere Over the Rainbow / What a Wonderful World '' was subsequently featured in several films , television programs , and television commercials . Along with his ukulele playing and incorporation of other genres , such as jazz and reggae , Kamakawiwoʻole remains influential on Hawaiian music . Contents ( hide ) 1 Early life 2 Music career 3 Support of Hawaiian rights 4 Death 5 Legacy 5.1 `` What a Wonderful World '' 6 Discography 6.1 Studio albums 6.2 Compilation albums 7 References 8 External links Early life ( edit ) Kamakawiwoʻole was born at Kuakini Medical Center in Honolulu to Henry `` Hank '' Kaleialoha Naniwa Kamakawiwoʻole , Jr. and Evangeline `` Angie '' Leinani Kamakawiwoʻole . The notable Hawaiian musician Moe Keale was his uncle and a major musical influence . He was raised in the community of Kaimuki , where his parents had met and married . He began playing music with his older brother Skippy and cousin Allen Thornton at the age of 11 , being exposed to the music of Hawaiian entertainers of the time such as Peter Moon , Palani Vaughn and Don Ho , who frequented the establishment where Kamakawiwoʻole 's parents worked . Hawaiian musician Del Beazley spoke of the first time he heard Israel perform , when , while playing for a graduation party , the whole room fell silent on hearing him sing . Israel continued his path as his brother Skippy entered the Army in 1971 and cousin Allen parted ways in 1976 for the mainland . In his early teens , he studied at Upward Bound ( UB ) of the University of Hawaii at Hilo and his family moved to Mākaha . There he met Louis Kauakahi , Sam Gray and Jerome Koko . Together with his brother Skippy they formed the Makaha Sons of Niʻihau . A part of the Hawaiian Renaissance , the band 's blend of contemporary and traditional styles gained in popularity as they toured Hawaii and the continental United States , releasing fifteen successful albums . Kamakawiwoʻole 's aim was to make music that stayed true to the typical sound of traditional Hawaiian music . During that time period , the songs that many people associated with Hawaii , typically , were not traditional - sounding songs . Music career ( edit ) The Makaha Sons of Niʻihau recorded No Kristo in 1976 and released four more albums , including Kahea O Keale , Keala , Makaha Sons of Niʻihau and Mahalo Ke Akua . In 1982 , Kamakawiwoʻole 's brother , Skippy , died at age 28 of a heart attack related to obesity . In that same year , Kamakawiwoʻole married his childhood sweetheart Marlene . Soon after , they had a daughter whom they named Ceslieanne `` Wehi '' ( born in c. 1983 ) . The group became Hawaii 's most popular contemporary traditional group with breakout albums 1984 's Puana Hou Me Ke Aloha and its follow - up , 1986 's Hoʻola . Kamakawiwoʻole 's last recorded album with the group was 1991 's Hoʻoluana . It remains the group 's top - selling CD . In 1990 , Kamakawiwoʻole released his first solo album Ka ʻAnoʻi , which won awards for Contemporary Album of the Year and Male Vocalist of the Year from the Hawaiʻi Academy of Recording Arts ( HARA ) . Facing Future was released in 1993 by The Mountain Apple Company . It featured his most popular song , the medley `` Somewhere Over the Rainbow / What a Wonderful World '' , along with `` Hawaiʻi 78 '' , `` White Sandy Beach of Hawaiʻi '' , `` Maui Hawaiian Sup'pa Man '' , and `` Kaulana Kawaihae '' . The decision to include a cover of Somewhere Over the Rainbow was said to be a last - minute decision by his producer Jon de Mello and him . Facing Future debuted at # 25 on Billboard magazine 's Top Pop Catalogue chart . On October 26 , 2005 , Facing Future became Hawaiʻi 's first certified platinum album , selling more than a million CDs in the United States , according to figures furnished by the Recording Industry Association of America . On July 21 , 2006 , BBC Radio 1 announced that `` Somewhere Over the Rainbow / What a Wonderful World ( True Dreams ) '' would be released as a single in America . In 1994 , Kamakawiwoʻole was voted favorite entertainer of the year by the Hawaiʻi Academy of Recording Arts ( HARA ) . E Ala E ( 1995 ) featured the political title song `` ʻE Ala ʻE '' and `` Kaleohano '' , and N Dis Life ( 1996 ) featured `` In This Life '' and `` Starting All Over Again '' . In 1997 , Kamakawiwoʻole was again honored by HARA at the Annual Nā Hōkū Hanohano awards for Male Vocalist of the Year , Favorite Entertainer of the Year , Album of the Year , and Island Contemporary Album of the Year . He watched the awards ceremony from a hospital room . Alone in Iz World ( 2001 ) debuted at # 1 on Billboard 's World Chart and # 135 on Billboard 's Top 200 , # 13 on the Top Independent Albums Chart , and # 15 on the Top Internet Album Sales charts . Kamakawiwo'ole's Facing Future has become the best - selling Hawaiian album of all time . Support of Hawaiian rights ( edit ) Kamakawiwoʻole was known for promoting Hawaiian rights and Hawaiian independence , both through his lyrics , which often stated the case for independence directly , and his life . For example , the lyric in his song `` Hawaiʻi ' 78 '' : `` The life of this land is the life of the people / and that to care for the land ( malama ʻāina ) is to care for the Hawaiian culture '' , is a statement that many consider to summarise his Hawaiian ideals . The state motto of Hawaiʻi is a recurring line in the song and encompasses the meaning of Iz 's message : `` Ua Mau ke Ea o ka ʻĀina i ka Pono '' ( proclaimed by King Kamehameha III when Hawaiʻi regained sovereignty in 1843 . It can be roughly translated as : `` The life of the land is perpetuated in righteousness '' ) . Kamakawiwoʻole used the soprano ukulele , and his music as a whole , to promote awareness of his belief that a second - class status had been pushed onto the natives by the tourist industry . Death ( edit ) Throughout his life Kamakawiwoʻole was profoundly obese , and at one point he weighed 757 pounds ( 343 kg ; 54 st 1 lb ) standing 6 feet 2 inches ( 1.88 m ) tall ( body mass index = 97.2 ) . He endured several hospitalizations because of health problems . Beset with respiratory , heart , and other medical problems , he died at the age of 38 in Queen 's Medical Center at 12 : 18 a.m. on June 26 , 1997 . Kamakawiwoʻole is survived by his wife , Marlene Kamakawiwoʻole , and their daughter , Ceslie - Ann `` Wehi '' . The Hawaii state flag flew at half - staff on July 10 , 1997 , the day of Kamakawiwoʻole 's funeral . His koa wood coffin lay in state at the state capitol building in Honolulu . He was the third person in Hawaiian history to be awarded this honor , and the only one who was not a government official . Approximately ten thousand people attended the funeral . Thousands of fans gathered as his ashes were scattered into the Pacific Ocean at Mākua Beach on July 12 , 1997 . According to witnesses , many people on land commemorated him by honking their car and truck horns on all Hawaiian highways that day . Scenes from the funeral and scattering of Kamakawiwoʻole 's ashes were featured in official music videos of `` Over the Rainbow '' released posthumously by Mountain Apple Company . As of September 2017 , the two videos as featured on YouTube have collectively received over 330 million views . On September 20 , 2003 , hundreds paid tribute to Kamakawiwoʻole as a bronze bust of the revered singer was unveiled at the Waianae Neighborhood Community Center on Oʻahu . The singer 's widow , Marlene Kamakawiwoʻole , and sculptor Jan - Michelle Sawyer were present for the dedication ceremony . Legacy ( edit ) On December 6 , 2010 , NPR named Kamakawiwoʻole as `` The Voice of Hawaii '' in its 50 great voices series . On March 24 , 2011 , Kamakawiwoʻole was honored with the German national music award Echo . The music managers Wolfgang Boss and Jon de Mello accepted the trophy in his stead . A 2014 Pixar short film , Lava , features as main characters two volcanoes who are based on Israel Kamakawiwoʻole and his wife , and the style of music used in the short is reminiscent of his cover of `` Somewhere Over the Rainbow . '' `` What a Wonderful World '' ( edit ) Somewhere Over The Rainbow / What A Wonderful World Snippet lasting 30 seconds Problems playing this file ? See media help . Kamakawiwoʻole 's recording of `` Over the Rainbow / What a Wonderful World '' gained notice in 1999 when an excerpt was used in the TV commercials for eToys.com ( Now Toys `` R '' Us ) .

At the world premiere of The Healer ( http://www.thehealer-film.com/ ) at the Heartland Film Festival in Indianapolis ( October 24 , 2016 ) `` Over the Rainbow '' was again featured . As of November 1 , 2010 , `` Over the Rainbow '' peaked at No. 6 on the OE3 Austria charts , which largely reflect airplay on Austria 's government - operated Top 40 radio network . It also peaked at No. 1 in France and Switzerland in late December 2010 .

Kylo Ren , Leia 's son , hesitates to fire on the lead Resistance ship after sensing his mother 's presence , but his TIE fighter wingmen destroy the bridge , killing most of their leadership and incapacitating Leia , who survives by using the Force . Disapproving of new leader Vice Admiral Holdo 's passive strategy , Poe helps Finn , BB - 8 , and mechanic Rose Tico embark on a secret mission to disable the First Order 's tracking device . Meanwhile , Rey arrives on Ahch - To with Chewbacca and R2 - D2 aboard the Millennium Falcon to recruit Luke Skywalker to the Resistance . Disillusioned by his failure to train Kylo as a Jedi , and under self - imposed exile from the Force , Luke refuses to help -- even after he learns of Han Solo 's death at Kylo 's hands -- and believes the Jedi should go extinct . Unbeknownst to Luke , Rey and Kylo communicate through the Force , puzzling the two enemies . As Rey and Kylo learn about each other , both have visions of themselves as future partners . R2 - D2 persuades Luke to train Rey . After Kylo tells Rey what happened between him and Luke that caused him to choose the dark side , Luke confesses that he momentarily contemplated killing Kylo upon sensing that Supreme Leader Snoke was corrupting him , causing Kylo to destroy Luke 's new Jedi Order in retaliation . Convinced that Kylo can be redeemed , Rey leaves Ahch - To without Luke . Luke prepares to burn the Ahch - To Jedi temple and library , but hesitates . Yoda 's ghost appears and destroys the temple by summoning a bolt of lightning , claiming Rey has all she needs to learn , and encourages Luke to learn from his failure . Holdo reveals her plan to discreetly evacuate the remaining Resistance members using small transports . Believing her actions cowardly and risky , Poe leads a mutiny . Finn , Rose , and BB - 8 travel to the Canto Bight casino and acquire the help of the hacker DJ . They infiltrate Snoke 's ship , where all but BB - 8 are captured by Captain Phasma . Meanwhile , Rey lands on the ship , and Kylo brings her to Snoke , who says he facilitated the mental connection between her and Kylo as part of a plan to destroy Luke . Ordered to kill Rey , Kylo instead kills Snoke and defeats Snoke 's guards alongside Rey . Rey believes that Kylo has returned to the light side of the Force , but he instead invites her to rule the galaxy with him . Refusing , she fights Kylo for possession of Anakin Skywalker 's lightsaber , which splits in two . Leia recovers and stuns Poe , allowing the evacuation to begin . Holdo remains on the ship to mislead Snoke 's fleet as the others flee to an abandoned Rebel Alliance base on Crait . DJ reveals the Resistance 's plan to the First Order , and the evacuation transports are slowly destroyed . Holdo sacrifices herself by ramming Snoke 's fleet at lightspeed ; Rey escapes in the chaos , while Kylo declares himself Supreme Leader . BB - 8 frees Finn and Rose , who escape after defeating Phasma , and join the survivors on Crait . When the First Order arrives , Poe , Finn , and Rose attack with old speeders . Rey and Chewbacca draw the TIE fighters away with the Falcon , while Rose stops Finn from completing a suicide run against the enemy siege cannon , which subsequently penetrates the Resistance fortress . Luke appears and confronts the First Order to enable surviving Resistance members to escape . Kylo orders the First Order 's forces to fire on Luke , to no effect . He then engages Luke in a lightsaber duel ; upon striking Luke , Kylo realizes he has been fighting a Force projection of him . Rey uses the Force to help the Resistance escape on the Falcon . Luke , exhausted , dies peacefully on Ahch - To . Rey and Leia sense his death , and Leia tells surviving rebels that the Resistance has all it needs to rise again . At Canto Bight , one of the children who helped Finn and Rose escape grabs a broom with the Force and gazes into space .

Production ( edit ) Development ( edit ) See also : Star Wars sequel trilogy In October 2012 , Star Wars creator George Lucas sold his production company Lucasfilm , and with it the Star Wars franchise , to The Walt Disney Company . Disney announced a new trilogy of Star Wars films . J.J. Abrams was named director of the first episode in the trilogy , The Force Awakens , in January 2013 . In June 2014 , director Rian Johnson was reported to be in talks to write and direct its sequel , Episode VIII , and to write a treatment for the third film , Episode IX , with Ram Bergman producing both films . Johnson confirmed in August 2014 that he would direct Episode VIII . In September , filmmaker Terry Gilliam asked Johnson about what it felt like to take over something made famous by another filmmaker . Johnson responded : I 'm just starting into it , but so far , honestly , it 's the most fun I 've ever had writing . It 's just joyous . But also for me personally , I grew up not just watching those movies but playing with those toys , so as a little kid , the first movies I was making in my head were set in this world . A big part of it is that direct connection , almost like an automatic jacking back into childhood in a weird way . But I do n't know , ask me again in a few years and we 'll be able to talk about that . Writer - director Rian Johnson The story begins immediately after the last scene of The Force Awakens . Johnson had his story group watch films such as Twelve O'Clock High , The Bridge on the River Kwai , Gunga Din , Three Outlaw Samurai , Sahara , and Letter Never Sent for inspiration while developing ideas . He felt it was difficult to work on the film while The Force Awakens was being finished . In December 2015 , Lucasfilm president Kathleen Kennedy said , `` we have n't mapped out every single detail ( of the sequel trilogy ) yet '' , and that Abrams was collaborating with Johnson and that Johnson would in turn work with ( then ) Episode IX director Colin Trevorrow to ensure a smooth transition . Abrams is an executive producer along with Jason McGatlin and Tom Karnowski . Lucasfilm announced the film 's title , Star Wars : The Last Jedi , on January 23 , 2017 . Casting ( edit ) In September 2015 , Disney shortlisted the female cast members to Gina Rodriguez , Tatiana Maslany , and Olivia Cooke . Later that month , Benicio del Toro confirmed that he would play a villain in the film , and Mark Hamill was also confirmed . In October 2015 , Gugu Mbatha - Raw was rumored to have been cast in the film . In November , Jimmy Vee was cast as R2 - D2 . In November , Kennedy announced at the London premiere for The Force Awakens that the entire cast would return for Episode VIII , along with `` a handful '' of new cast members . In February 2016 , at the start of filming , it was confirmed that Laura Dern and Kelly Marie Tran had been cast in unspecified roles . In April 2017 , at Star Wars Celebration Orlando , Lucasfilm announced that Tran plays Resistance maintenance worker Rose Tico , which Johnson described as the film 's largest new role . To keep Frank Oz 's return as Yoda a secret , producers excluded Oz 's name in the billing for the film 's pre-release marketing and ensured that Oz stayed on set during filming . Filming ( edit ) Some filming locations : The island of Skellig Michael in Ireland ( top ) , Salar de Uyuni , a salt flat in Bolivia ( middle ) , and the city of Dubrovnik , in Croatia ( bottom ) . Second unit photography began during pre-production at Skellig Michael in Ireland on September 14 , 2015 , due to the difficulties of filming at that location during other seasons . It would have lasted four days , but filming was canceled for the first day due to poor weather and rough conditions . In November 2014 , Ivan Dunleavy , chief executive of Pinewood Studios , confirmed that the film would be shot at Pinewood , with additional filming in Mexico . In September 2015 , del Toro revealed that principal photography would begin in March 2016 ; Kennedy later said filming would begin in January 2016 . The production began work on the 007 Stage at Pinewood Studios on November 15 , 2015 . Rick Heinrichs served as production designer . In January 2016 , production of Episode VIII was delayed until February due to script rewrites . Filming was in danger of being delayed further due to an upcoming strike between the Producers Alliance for Cinema and Television and the Broadcasting , Entertainment , Cinematograph and Theatre Union . On February 10 , 2016 , Disney CEO Bob Iger confirmed that principal photography had begun under the working title Space Bear . Additional filming took place in Dubrovnik , Croatia from March 9 to 16 , as well as in Ireland in May . Malin Head in County Donegal and a mountain headland , Ceann Sibeal in County Kerry , served as additional filming locations . To increase the scenes ' intimacy Driver and Ridley were both present when filming Kylo and Rey 's Force visions . Location filming for the battle scenes on the planet Crait took place in July at the Salar de Uyuni salt flats in Bolivia . Principal photography wrapped on July 22 , 2016 , though as of early September , Nyong'o had not filmed her scenes . In February 2017 , it was announced that sequences from the film were shot in IMAX . Production designer Rick Heinrichs said the original screenplay called for 160 sets , double what might be expected , but that Johnson did some `` trimming and cutting '' . Ultimately 125 sets were created on 14 sound stages at Pinewood Studios . According to creature designer Neal Scanlan , The Last Jedi uses more practical effects than any Star Wars film , with 180 to 200 creatures created with practical effects , some cut from the final edit . For Yoda 's appearance in the film as a Force ghost , the character was created using puppetry , as was done in the original Star Wars trilogy ( as opposed to computer - generated imagery , which was used to create Yoda in most of the prequel trilogy ) . The film 's Canto Bight sequence contains a reference to the 1985 Terry Gilliam film Brazil , in which Finn and Rose are arrested for committing parking violation 27B / 6 . Music ( edit ) Main article : Star Wars : The Last Jedi ( soundtrack ) In July 2013 , Kennedy announced at Star Wars Celebration Europe that John Williams would return to score the Star Wars sequel trilogy . Williams confirmed his assignment for The Last Jedi at a Tanglewood concert in August 2016 , stating he would begin recording the score `` off and on '' in December 2016 until March or April 2017 . On February 21 , 2017 , it was confirmed that recording was underway , with both Williams and William Ross conducting the sessions . In lieu of a traditional spotting session with Johnson , Williams was provided a temp track of music from his previous film scores as a reference for scoring The Last Jedi . The score briefly quotes `` Aquarela do Brasil '' by Ary Barroso in its `` Canto Bight '' track as another reference to the film Brazil . It also contains a brief quote of Williams performing his own theme for The Long Goodbye ( co-composed by Johnny Mercer ) during Finn and Rose 's escape , but this is not in the official soundtrack release . The official soundtrack album was released by Walt Disney Records on December 15 , 2017 in digipak CD , digital formats , and streaming services . Release ( edit ) In January 2015 , Disney CEO Bob Iger stated that Episode VIII would be released in 2017 , and in March , Lucasfilm announced a release date of May 26 , 2017 . In January 2016 , The Last Jedi was rescheduled for December 15 , 2017 in 3D and IMAX 3D . On January 23 , 2017 , the film 's title was announced as Star Wars : The Last Jedi . Similarly to The Empire Strikes Back , Return of the Jedi and The Force Awakens , `` Episode VIII '' was included in the film 's opening crawl , although not in its official title . The Last Jedi had its world premiere in Los Angeles on December 9 , 2017 . The European premiere was held at London 's Royal Albert Hall on December 12 , 2017 , with a red carpet event . It was reported that Disney had placed notable conditions on U.S. cinemas screening The Last Jedi , which some operators described as onerous . Disney required that the film be screened in a cinema 's largest auditorium for a four - week period ( other Disney releases have had similar clauses , but only for two weeks ) , and was given a 65 % cut of ticket sales ( a percentage higher than the 55 -- 60 % average of other major films , and cited as the highest split ever demanded by a Hollywood film behind the 64 % split of The Force Awakens ) . The agreement , which was required to be kept confidential , also contained regulations on promotions and restrictions on removing any scheduled screening . Violations were to be penalized with an additional 5 % cut of ticket sales . Because of this , some cinemas declined to screen the film , particularly smaller or one - screen cinemas that would otherwise be barred from screening any other film during the commitment period . Industry representatives considered this policy reasonable , citing the performance of Disney releases and the Star Wars franchise , and that the guaranteed business attracted by the film , and concession sales , would make up for the larger cut of ticket sales . Marketing ( edit ) This section needs expansion . You can help by adding to it . ( December 2017 ) A set of eight promotional postage stamps were released on October 12 , 2017 in the UK by the Royal Mail with artwork by Malcolm Tween . On September 19 , 2017 , Australia Post released a set of stamp packs . Tie - in promotional campaigns were done with Nissan Motors and Bell Media , among others .

Video games ( edit ) As with The Force Awakens , there is no official tie - in game for The Last Jedi , in favor of integrating content from the film into other Star Wars video games , including Star Wars Battlefront II , which introduced various content from the film , during the second week of the game 's first `` season '' . An update to the MOBA mobile game Star Wars : Force Arena added new content from the sequel era , including some characters as they appeared in The Last Jedi . Characters from the film also appeared in the mobile RPG Star Wars : Galaxy of Heroes .

Critical reception ( edit ) On review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes , Star Wars : The Last Jedi has an approval rating of 90 % based on 376 reviews , with an average rating of 8.1 / 10 . The website 's critical consensus reads , `` Star Wars : The Last Jedi honors the saga 's rich legacy while adding some surprising twists -- and delivering all the emotion - rich action fans could hope for . '' On Metacritic , the film has a weighted average score of 85 out of 100 , based on 56 critics , indicating `` universal acclaim '' . Matt Zoller Seitz of RogerEbert.com gave the film four out of four stars , praising the surprises and risks that it took , writing that `` The movie works equally well as an earnest adventure full of passionate heroes and villains and a meditation on sequels and franchise properties ... ( The film ) is preoccupied with questions of legacy , legitimacy and succession , and includes multiple debates over whether one should replicate or reject the stories and symbols of the past . '' Writing for Rolling Stone , Peter Travers gave the film 3.5 out of 4 stars , praising the cast and the direction : `` You 're in hyper - skilled hands with Johnson who makes sure you leave the multiplex feeling euphoric . The middle part of the current trilogy , The Last Jedi ranks with the very best Star Wars epics ( even the pinnacle that is The Empire Strikes Back ) by pointing the way ahead to a next generation of skywalkers -- and , thrillingly , to a new hope . '' Richard Roeper of the Chicago Sun - Times gave the film 3.5 / 4 stars , saying , `` Star Wars : The Last Jedi ... does n't pack quite the same emotional punch ( as The Force Awakens ) and it lags a bit in the second half , ( but ) this is still a worthy chapter in the Star Wars franchise , popping with exciting action sequences , sprinkled with good humor and containing more than a few nifty ' callbacks ' to previous characters and iconic moments . '' For The Hollywood Reporter , Todd McCarthy said , `` Loaded with action and satisfying in the ways its loyal audience wants it to be , writer - director Rian Johnson 's plunge into George Lucas ' universe is generally pleasing even as it sometimes strains to find useful and / or interesting things for some of its characters to do . '' Will Gompertz , arts editor of BBC News , gave the film 4 / 5 stars , writing `` Rian Johnson ... has not ruined your Christmas with a turkey . His gift to you is a cracker , a blockbuster movie packed with invention , wit , and action galore . '' Mark Kermode , British film critic , gave the film 4 / 5 stars saying Johnson `` proves himself the master of the balancing act , keeping the warring forces of this intergalactic franchise in near - perfect harmony . '' The unpredictability of the plot was appreciated by reviewers such as Alex Leadbeater of Screen Rant , who commented specifically that the death of Snoke was `` the best movie twist in years '' . Conversely , Richard Brody of The New Yorker wrote , `` Despite a few stunning decorative touches ( most of which involve the color red ) and that brief central sequence of multiple Reys , the movie comes off as a work that 's ironed out , flattened down , appallingly purified . Above all , it delivers a terrifyingly calculated consensus storytelling , an artificial universality that is achieved , in part , through express religious references . '' Kate Taylor of The Globe and Mail gave the film 2 / 4 stars , saying the film suffered from too many new additions and writing , `` Nifty new animals , a maturing villain , a flagging heroine , muffled humour -- as it seeks to uphold a giant cultural legacy , this unfolding trilogy struggles to maintain a balance that often seems just out of reach . '' Owen Gleiberman of Variety criticized the film for being too derivative of the past movies by saying that `` it 's now repeating things that have already been repeated . The rebels - up - against - it plot , with our heroes worn down to the nub of their fighting spirit , feels like a rehash of what we went through a year ago in ' Rogue One , ' and the attempts to echo the look and mood and darkening design of ' The Empire Strikes Back ' now make clear that the new trilogy is an official monument to nostalgia '' . Audience reception ( edit ) Audience reception measured by scientific polling methods was highly positive . Audiences randomly polled by CinemaScore on opening day gave the film an average grade of `` A '' on an A+ to F scale . Surveys from SurveyMonkey and comScore 's PostTrak found that 89 % of audience members graded the film positively , including a rare five - star rating . The user - generated review sections of Rotten Tomatoes and Metacritic contained scores that were significantly more negative , achieving ratings of 46 % and 4.5 / 10 , respectively . Several reviewers speculated that the low user scores are the result of manipulation , either by coordinated vote brigading from internet groups or from bots . Quartz noted that some new accounts gave negative ratings to both The Last Jedi and Thor : Ragnarok , while Bleeding Cool stated that reviews for Thor had tapered off up to that point but skyrocketed afterwards . In response to tampering claims , Rotten Tomatoes released a statement that they did not detect any unusual activity aside from a noticeable `` uptick in the number of written user reviews '' on The Last Jedi . Reviewers characterized The Last Jedi as divisive among audiences . Todd VanDerWerff of Vox found that dissatisfied fans saw the film as too progressive , disliked its humor , plot , or character arcs , or felt betrayed that it ignored fan theories . Other reviewers made similar observations . Particularly divisive was the reveal that Rey 's parents are insignificant ; many fans had expected her to be Luke 's daughter or to share a lineage with another character from the original trilogy . There was also sentiment that Snoke 's character was underdeveloped and that Luke 's actions contradicted his previous heroic portrayal . Reviewers stated that fan theories were held so strongly among some viewers that it was difficult for them to accept different stories , but that other viewers appreciated the film 's action , tone , and deviation from Star Wars tradition .

For most , it is an agreed - upon list of twenty - seven books that includes the Canonical Gospels , Acts , letters of the Apostles , and Revelation . The books of the canon of the New Testament were written before 120 AD . For the Orthodox , the recognition of these writings as authoritative was formalized in the Second Council of Trullan of 692 . The Catholic Church made dogmatic definition upon its Biblical canon in 382 at the Council of Rome as well as at the Council of Trent of 1545 , reaffirming the Canons of Florence of 1442 and North African Councils ( Hippo and Carthage ) of 393 -- 419 . For the Church of England , it was made dogmatic on the Thirty - Nine Articles of 1563 ; for Calvinism , on the Westminster Confession of Faith of 1647 .

The Pauline epistles were circulating , perhaps in collected forms , by the end of the 1st century AD . Justin Martyr , in the mid 2nd century , mentions `` memoirs of the apostles '' as being read on `` the day called that of the sun '' ( Sunday ) alongside the `` writings of the prophets . '' A defined set of four gospels ( the Tetramorph ) was asserted by Irenaeus , c. 180 , who refers to it directly . By the early 3rd century , Origen may have been using the same twenty - seven books as in the present New Testament canon , though there were still disputes over the acceptance of the Letter to the Hebrews , James , II Peter , II John , III John , Jude and Revelation , known as the Antilegomena . Likewise , the Muratorian fragment is evidence that , perhaps as early as 200 , there existed a set of Christian writings somewhat similar to the twenty - seven - book NT canon , which included four gospels and argued against objections to them . Thus , while there was a good measure of debate in the Early Church over the New Testament canon , the major writings are claimed to have been accepted by almost all Christians by the middle of the 3rd century . In his Easter letter of 367 , Athanasius , Bishop of Alexandria , gave a list of the books that would become the twenty - seven - book NT canon , and he used the word `` canonized '' ( Greek : κανονιζόμενα kanonizomena ) in regards to them . The first council that accepted the present canon of the New Testament may have been the Synod of Hippo Regius in North Africa ( 393 ) . A brief summary of the acts was read at and accepted by the Councils of Carthage in 397 and 419 . These councils were under the authority of St. Augustine , who regarded the canon as already closed . Pope Damasus I 's Council of Rome in 382 , if the Decretum Gelasianum is correctly associated with it , issued a biblical canon identical to that mentioned above , or , if not , the list is at least a 6th - century compilation . Likewise , Damasus ' commissioning of the Latin Vulgate edition of the Bible , c. 383 , was instrumental in the fixation of the canon in the West . In c. 405 , Pope Innocent I sent a list of the sacred books to a Gallic bishop , Exsuperius of Toulouse . Christian scholars assert that , when these bishops and councils spoke on the matter , however , they were not defining something new but instead `` were ratifying what had already become the mind of the Church . '' Thus , some claim that , from the 4th century , there existed unanimity in the West concerning the New Testament canon , and that , by the 5th century , the Eastern Church , with a few exceptions , had come to accept the Book of Revelation and thus had come into harmony on the matter of the canon . Nonetheless , full dogmatic articulations of the canon were not made until the Canon of Trent of 1546 for Roman Catholicism , the Gallic Confession of Faith of 1559 for Calvinism , the Thirty - Nine Articles of 1563 for the Church of England , and the Synod of Jerusalem of 1672 for the Greek Orthodox . Early Christianity ( c. 30 -- 325 ) ( edit ) See also : Early Christianity and History of Early Christianity In the one - hundred - year period extending roughly from 50 to 150 , a number of documents began to circulate among the churches , including epistles , gospels , memoirs , apocalypses , homilies , and collections of teachings . While some of these documents were apostolic in origin , others drew upon the tradition the apostles and ministers of the word had utilized in their individual missions . Still others represented a summation of the teaching entrusted to a particular church center . Several of these writings sought to extend , interpret , and apply apostolic teaching to meet the needs of Christians in a given locality . Clement of Rome ( edit ) By the end of the 1st century , some letters of Paul were known to Clement of Rome ( fl. 96 ) , together with some form of the `` words of Jesus '' ; but while Clement valued these highly , he did not regard them as `` Scripture '' ( `` graphe '' ) , a term he reserved for the Septuagint . Metzger 1987 draws the following conclusion about Clement : Clement ... makes occasional reference to certain words of Jesus ; though they are authoritative for him , he does not appear to enquire how their authenticity is ensured . In two of the three instances that he speaks of remembering ' the words ' of Christ or of the Lord Jesus , it seems that he has a written record in mind , but he does not call it a ' gospel ' . He knows several of Paul 's epistles , and values them highly for their content ; the same can be said of the Epistle to the Hebrews , with which he is well acquainted . Although these writings obviously possess for Clement considerable significance , he never refers to them as authoritative ' Scripture ' . -- page 43 2 Peter ( edit ) Main article : Second Epistle of Peter Within the New Testament itself , there is reference to at least some of the works of Paul as Scripture. 2 Peter 3 : 16 says : He ( Paul ) writes the same way in all his letters , speaking in them of these matters . His letters contain some things that are hard to understand , which ignorant and unstable people distort , as they do the other Scriptures , to their own destruction . The reference to , presumably the Septuagint , as the `` other '' Scripture denotes that the author of 2 Peter regarded , at least , the works of Paul that had been written by his time as Scripture . It is difficult to determine the date of composition ; commentaries and reference books have placed 2 Peter in almost every decade from AD 60 to 160 . Marcion of Sinope ( edit ) Main article : Marcion of Sinope Marcion of Sinope , a bishop of Asia Minor who went to Rome and was later excommunicated for his views , was the first of record to propose a definitive , exclusive , unique list of Christian scriptures , compiled sometime between 130 -- 140 AD . ( Though Ignatius did address Christian scripture , before Marcion , against the perceived heresies of the Judaizers and Docetists , he did not define a list of scriptures . ) In his book Origin of the New Testament Adolf von Harnack argued that Marcion viewed the church at this time as largely an Old Testament church ( one that `` follows the Testament of the Creator - God '' ) without a firmly established New Testament canon , and that the church gradually formulated its New Testament canon in response to the challenge posed by Marcion . Marcion rejected the theology of the Old Testament entirely and regarded the God depicted there as an inferior being . In the Antithesis , he claimed the theology of the Old Testament was incompatible with the teaching of Jesus regarding God and morality . Marcion believed that Jesus had come to liberate mankind from the authority of the God of the Old Testament , and to reveal the superior God of goodness and mercy , whom he called the Father . Paul and Luke were the only Christian authors to find favour with Marcion , though his versions of these differed from those later accepted by mainstream Christianity ( also termed Proto - orthodox Christianity ) . Marcion created a definite group of books which he regarded as fully authoritative , displacing all others . These comprised ten of the Pauline epistles ( without the Pastorals ) and Luke 's Gospel . It is uncertain whether he edited these books , purging them of what did not accord with his views , or that his versions represented a separate textual tradition . Marcion 's gospel , called simply the Gospel of the Lord , differed from the Gospel of Luke by lacking any passages that connected Jesus with the Old Testament . He believed that the god of Israel , who gave the Torah to the Israelites , was an entirely different god from the Supreme God who sent Jesus and inspired the New Testament . Marcion termed his collection of Pauline epistles the Apostolikon . These also differed from the versions accepted by later Christian Orthodoxy . Marcion 's list and theology were rejected as heretical by the early church ; however , he forced other Christians to consider which texts were canonical and why . He spread his beliefs widely ; they became known as Marcionism . In the introduction to his book `` Early Christian Writings '' , Henry Wace stated : A modern divine ... could not refuse to discuss the question raised by Marcion , whether there is such opposition between different parts of what he regards as the word of God , that all can not come from the same author . Ferguson 2002 quotes Tertullian 's De praescriptione haereticorum 30 : Since Marcion separated the New Testament from the Old , he is necessarily subsequent to that which he separated , inasmuch as it was only in his power to separate what was previously united . Having been united previous to its separation , the fact of its subsequent separation proves the subsequence also of the man who effected the separation . Note 61 of page 308 adds : ( Wolfram ) Kinzig suggests that it was Marcion who usually called his Bible testamentum ( Latin for testament ) . Other scholars propose that it was Melito of Sardis who originally coined the phrase Old Testament , which is associated with Supersessionism . Robert M. Price argues that the evidence that the early church fathers , such as Clement , Ignatius , and Polycarp , knew of the Pauline epistles is unclear , and concludes that Marcion was the first person to collect Paul 's writings to various churches and to treat ten Pauline letters , some of them Marcion 's own compositions , together with an earlier version of Luke ( not the Gospel of Luke as now known ) : But the first collector of the Pauline Epistles had been Marcion . No one else we know of would be a good candidate , certainly not the essentially fictive Luke , Timothy , and Onesimus . And Marcion , as Burkitt and Bauer show , fills the bill perfectly . Justin Martyr ( edit ) In the mid-2nd century , Justin Martyr ( whose writings span the period from c. 145 to 163 ) mentions the `` memoirs of the apostles '' , which Christians called `` gospels '' and which were regarded as on par with the Old Testament . Scholars are divided on whether there is any evidence that Justin included the Gospel of John among the `` memoirs of the apostles '' , or whether , on the contrary , he based his doctrine of the Logos on it . Justin quotes the letters of Paul , 1 Peter , and Acts in his writings . In Justin 's works , distinct references are found to Romans , 1 Corinthians , Galatians , Ephesians , Colossians , and 2 Thessalonians , and possible ones to Philippians , Titus , and 1 Timothy . In addition , he refers to an account from an unnamed source of the baptism of Jesus which differs from that provided by the synoptic gospels : When Jesus went down in the water , fire was kindled in the Jordan ; and when he came up from the water , the Holy Spirit came upon him . The apostles of our Christ wrote this . Tatian ( edit ) Main article : Diatessaron See also : Gospel harmony Tatian was converted to Christianity by Justin Martyr on a visit to Rome around 150 and , after much instruction , returned to Syria in 172 to reform the church there . At some point ( it is suggested c. 160 ) he composed a single harmonized `` Gospel '' by weaving the contents of the gospels of Matthew , Mark , Luke , and John together along with events present in none of these texts . The narrative mainly follows the chronology of John . This is called the Diatessaron ( `` ( Harmony ) Through Four '' ) and it became the official Gospel text of the Syraic church , centered in Edessa . Irenaeus ( edit ) See also : Canonical gospels Irenaeus of Lyons referred directly to a defined set of four gospels ( the Tetramorph ) , c. 180 . In his central work , Adversus Haereses Irenaeus denounced various early Christian groups that used only one gospel , such as Marcionism which used only Marcion 's version of Luke , or the Ebionites which seem to have used an Aramaic version of Matthew , as well as groups that used more than four gospels , such as the Valentinians ( A.H. 1.11 ) . Irenaeus declared that the four he espoused were the four `` Pillars of the Church '' : `` it is not possible that there can be either more or fewer than four '' he stated , presenting as logic the analogy of the four corners of the earth and the four winds ( 3.11. 8 ) . His image , taken from Ezekiel 1 , or Revelation 4 : 6 -- 10 , of God 's throne borne by four creatures with four faces -- `` the four had the face of a man , and the face of a lion , on the right side : and the four had the face of an ox on the left side ; they four also had the face of an eagle '' -- equivalent to the `` four - formed '' gospel , is the origin of the conventional symbols of the Evangelists : lion ( Mark ) , ox ( Luke ) , eagle ( John ) , man ( Matthew ) . Irenaeus was ultimately successful in declaring that the four gospels collectively , and exclusively these four , contained the truth . By reading each gospel in light of the others , Irenaeus made of John a lens through which to read Matthew , Mark and Luke . Based on the arguments Irenaeus made in support of only four authentic gospels , some interpreters deduce that the fourfold Gospel must have still been a novelty in Irenaeus 's time . Against Heresies 3.11. 7 acknowledges that many heterodox Christians use only one gospel while 3.11. 9 acknowledges that some use more than four . The success of Tatian 's Diatessaron in about the same time period is `` ... a powerful indication that the fourfold Gospel contemporaneously sponsored by Irenaeus was not broadly , let alone universally , recognized . '' Irenaeus apparently quotes from 21 of the New Testament books and names the author he thought wrote the text . He mentions the four gospels , Acts , the Pauline epistles with the exception of Hebrews and Philemon , as well as the first epistle of Peter , and the first and second epistles of John , and the book of Revelation . Irenaeus argued that it was illogical to reject Acts of the Apostles but accept the Gospel of Luke , as both were from the same author ; in Against Heresies 3.12. 12 he ridiculed those who think they are wiser than the Apostles because the Apostles were still under Jewish influence . He may also refer to Hebrews ( Book 2 , Chapter 30 ) and James ( Book 4 , Chapter 16 ) and maybe even 2 Peter ( Book 5 , Chapter 28 ) but does not cite Philemon , 3 John or Jude . He does think that the letter to the Corinthians , known now as 1 Clement , was of great worth but does not seem to believe that Clement of Rome was the one author ( Book 3 , Chapter 3 , Verse 3 ) and seems to have the same lower status as Polycarp 's Epistle ( Book 3 , Chapter 3 , Verse 3 ) . He does refer to a passage in the Shepherd of Hermas as scripture ( Mandate 1 or First Commandment ) , but this has some consistency problems on his part . Hermas taught that Jesus was not himself a divine being , but a virtuous man who was subsequently filled with the Holy Spirit and adopted as the Son ( a doctrine called adoptionism ) . But Irenaeus 's own work , including his citing of the Gospel of John ( Jn. 1 : 1 ) , indicates that he himself believed that Jesus was always God . Early Proto - Orthodox definition attempts ( edit ) See also : Christian heresy In the late 4th century Epiphanius of Salamis ( died 402 ) Panarion 29 says the Nazarenes had rejected the Pauline epistles and Irenaeus Against Heresies 26.2 says the Ebionites rejected him . Acts 21 : 21 records a rumor that Paul aimed to subvert the Old Testament ( against this rumor see Romans 3 : 8 , 3 : 31 ) . 2 Peter 3 : 16 says his letters have been abused by heretics who twist them around `` as they do with the other scriptures . '' In the 2nd and 3rd centuries Eusebius 's Ecclesiastical History 6.38 says the Elchasai `` made use of texts from every part of the Old Testament and the Gospels ; it rejects the Apostle ( Paul ) entirely '' ; 4.29. 5 says Tatian the Assyrian rejected Paul 's Letters and Acts of the Apostles ; 6.25 says Origen accepted 22 canonical books of the Hebrews plus Maccabees plus the four Gospels but Paul `` did not so much as write to all the churches that he taught ; and even to those to which he wrote he sent but a few lines . '' Between 140 and 220 , both internal and external forces caused Proto - orthodox Christianity to begin to systematize both its doctrines and its view of revelation . Much of the systemization came about as a defense against the diverse Early Christian viewpoints that competed with emerging Proto - Orthodoxy . The early years of this period witnessed the rise of several strong movements of faith later deemed heretical by the church in Rome : Marcionism , Gnosticism and Montanism . Marcion may have been the first to have a clearly defined list of New Testament books , though this question of who came first is still debated . The compilation of this list could have been a challenge and incentive to emerging Proto - orthodoxy ; if they wished to deny that Marcion 's list was the true one , it was incumbent on them to define what the true one was . The expansion phase of the New Testament canon thus could have begun in response to Marcion 's proposed limited canon . Muratorian Fragment ( edit ) Main article : Muratorian fragment The Muratorian fragment is the earliest known example of a defined list of mostly New Testament books . It survives , damaged and thus incomplete , as a bad Latin translation of an original , no longer extant , Greek text that is usually dated in the late 2nd century , although a few scholars have preferred a 4th - century date . This is an excerpt from Metzger 's translation : The third book of the Gospel is that according to Luke ... The fourth ... is that of John ... the acts of all the apostles ... As for the Epistles of Paul ... To the Corinthians first , to the Ephesians second , to the Philippians third , to the Colossians fourth , to the Galatians fifth , to the Thessalonians sixth , to the Romans seventh ... once more to the Corinthians and to the Thessalonians ... one to Philemon , one to Titus , and two to Timothy ... to the Laodiceans , ( and ) another to the Alexandrians , ( both ) forged in Paul 's name to ( further ) the heresy of Marcion ... the epistle of Jude and two of the above - mentioned ( or , bearing the name of ) John ... and ( the book of ) Wisdom ... We receive only the apocalypses of John and Peter , though some of us are not willing that the latter be read in church . But Hermas wrote the Shepherd very recently ... And therefore it ought indeed to be read ; but it can not be read publicly to the people in church . This is evidence that , perhaps as early as 200 , there existed a set of Christian writings somewhat similar to what is now the 27 - book NT , which included four gospels and argued against objections to them . Clement of Alexandria ( edit ) Clement of Alexandria ( c. 150 -- c. 215 ) made use of an open canon . He seemed `` practically unconcerned about canonicity . To him , inspiration is what mattered . '' In addition to books that did not make it into the final 27 - book NT but which had local acceptance ( Barnabas , Didache , I Clement , Revelation of Peter , the Shepherd , the Gospel according to the Hebrews ) , he also used the Gospel of the Egyptians , Preaching of Peter , Traditions of Matthias , Sibylline Oracles , and the Oral Gospel . He did , however , prefer the four church gospels to all others , although he supplemented them freely with apocryphal gospels . He was the first to treat non-Pauline letters of the apostles ( other than II Peter ) as scripture - he accepted I Peter , I and II John , and Jude as scripture . Alogi ( edit ) Main article : Alogi There were those who rejected the Gospel of John ( and possibly also Revelation and the Epistles of John ) as either not apostolic or as written by the Gnostic Cerinthus or as not compatible with the Synoptic Gospels . Epiphanius of Salamis called these people the Alogi , because they rejected the Logos doctrine of John and because he claimed they were illogical . There may have also been a dispute over the doctrine of the Paraclete . Gaius or Caius , presbyter of Rome ( early 3rd century ) , was apparently associated with this movement . Period of the seven Ecumenical councils ( 325 -- 787 ) ( edit ) See also : First seven Ecumenical Councils Eusebius ( edit ) Eusebius , in his Church History ( c. 330 ) , mentioned the books of New Testament according to him : 1 . ( ... ) it is proper to sum up the writings of the New Testament which have been already mentioned . First then must be put the holy quaternion of the Gospels ; following them the Acts of the Apostles ... the epistles of Paul ... the epistle of John ... the epistle of Peter ... After them is to be placed , if it really seem proper , the Apocalypse of John , concerning which we shall give the different opinions at the proper time . These then belong among the accepted writings ( Homologoumena ) . 3 . Among the disputed writings ( Antilegomena ) , which are nevertheless recognized by many , are extant the so - called epistle of James and that of Jude , also the second epistle of Peter , and those that are called the second and third of John , whether they belong to the evangelist or to another person of the same name . 4 . Among the rejected ( Kirsopp . Lake translation : `` not genuine '' ) writings must be reckoned also the Acts of Paul , and the so - called Shepherd , and the Apocalypse of Peter , and in addition to these the extant epistle of Barnabas , and the so - called Teachings of the Apostles ; and besides , as I said , the Apocalypse of John , if it seem proper , which some , as I said , reject , but which others class with the accepted books . 5 . And among these some have placed also the Gospel according to the Hebrews ... And all these may be reckoned among the disputed books ... such books as the Gospels of Peter , of Thomas , of Matthias , or of any others besides them , and the Acts of Andrew and John and the other apostles ... they clearly show themselves to be the fictions of heretics . Wherefore they are not to be placed even among the rejected writings , but are all of them to be cast aside as absurd and impious . The Apocalypse of John , also called Revelation , is counted as both accepted ( Kirsopp . Lake translation : `` Recognized '' ) and disputed , which has caused some confusion over what exactly Eusebius meant by doing so . The disputation perhaps attributed to Origen ( see also Pamphili c. 330 , 3.24. 17 -- 18 ) . Pamphili c. 330 , 3.3. 5 adds further detail on Paul : `` Paul 's fourteen epistles are well known and undisputed . It is not indeed right to overlook the fact that some have rejected the Epistle to the Hebrews , saying that it is disputed by the Church of Rome , on the ground that it was not written by Paul . '' Pamphili c. 330 , 4.29. 6 mentions the Diatessaron : `` But their original founder , Tatian , formed a certain combination and collection of the Gospels , I know not how , to which he gave the title Diatessaron , and which is still in the hands of some . But they say that he ventured to paraphrase certain words of the apostle ( Paul ) , in order to improve their style . '' Codex Claromontanus ( edit ) Main article : Codex Claromontanus The Codex Claromontanus , c. 303 -- 67 , a page found inserted into a 6th - century copy of the Epistles of Paul and Hebrews , has the Old Testament , including Tobit , Judith , Wisdom , Sirach , 1 -- 2 , 4 Maccabees , and the New Testament , plus Acts of Paul , Apocalypse of Peter , Barnabas , and Hermas , but missing Philippians , 1 -- 2 Thessalonians , and Hebrews . Zahn and Harnack were of the opinion that the list had been drawn up originally in Greek at Alexandria or its neighborhood ~ 300 AD . According to Jülicher the list belongs to the 4th century and is probably of western origin . Constantine the great ( edit ) Main article : Fifty Bibles of Constantine In 331 , Constantine I commissioned Eusebius to deliver fifty Bibles for the Church of Constantinople . Athanasius ( Apol . Const. 4 ) recorded Alexandrian scribes around 340 preparing Bibles for Constans . Little else is known , though there is plenty of speculation . For example , it is speculated that this may have provided motivation for canon lists , and that Codex Vaticanus and Codex Sinaiticus may be examples of these Bibles . Together with the Peshitta and Codex Alexandrinus , these are the earliest extant Christian Bibles . Cyril of Jerusalem ( edit ) McDonald & Sanders 2002 , Appendix D - 2 , notes the following list of New Testament books from Cyril of Jerusalem ( c. 350 ) from his Catechetical Lectures 4.36 : Gospels ( 4 ) , Acts , James , 1 -- 2 Peter , 1 -- 3 John , Jude , Paul 's epistles ( 14 ) , and Gospel of Thomas listed as pseudepigrapha . Council of Laodicea ( edit ) Main article : Council of Laodicea The Council of Laodicea , c. 363 , was one of the first councils that set out to judge which books were to be read aloud in churches . The decrees issued by the thirty or so clerics attending were called canons . Canon 59 decreed that only canonical books should be read , but no list was appended in the Latin and Syriac manuscripts recording the decrees . The list of canonical books , Canon 60 , sometimes attributed to the Council of Laodicea is a later addition according to most scholars and has a 22 - book OT and 26 - book NT ( excludes Revelation ) . Athanasius ( edit ) In his Easter letter of 367 , Athanasius , Bishop of Alexandria , gave a list of exactly the same books as what would become the 27 - book NT canon , and he used the word `` canonized '' ( kanonizomena ) in regards to them . Cheltenham / Mommsen list ( edit ) The Cheltenham List , c. 365 -- 90 , is a Latin list discovered by the German classical scholar Theodor Mommsen ( published 1886 ) in a 10th - century manuscript ( chiefly patristic ) belonging to the library of Thomas Phillips at Cheltenham , England . The list probably originated in North Africa soon after the middle of the 4th century . It has a 24 - book Old Testament and 24 - book New Testament which provides syllable and line counts but omits Jude and James , and perhaps Hebrews , and seems to question the epistles of John and Peter beyond the first . Epiphanius ( edit ) McDonald & Sanders 2002 , Appendix D - 2 , writes the following list for Epiphanius of Salamis ( c. 374 -- 77 ) , from his Panarion 76.5 : Gospels ( 4 ) , Paul 's epistles ( 13 ) , Acts , James , Peter , 1 -- 3 John , Jude , Rev , Wisdom , Sirach Apostolic canon # 85 ( edit ) In c. 380 , the redactor of the Apostolic Constitutions attributed a canon to the Twelve Apostles themselves as the 85th of his list of such apostolic decrees : Canon 85 . Let the following books be esteemed venerable and holy by all of you , both clergy and laity . ( A list of books of the Old Testament ... ) And our sacred books , that is , of the New Testament , are the four Gospels , of Matthew , Mark , Luke , John ; the fourteen Epistles of Paul ; two Epistles of Peter ; three of John ; one of James ; one of Jude ; two Epistles of Clement ; and the Constitutions dedicated to you , the bishops , by me , Clement , in eight books , which is not appropriate to make public before all , because of the mysteries contained in them ; and the Acts of us , the Apostles. -- ( From the Latin version . ) It is said that the Coptic translation and some Arabic version include Revelation . Amphilochius of Iconium ( edit ) Bishop Amphilochius of Iconium , in his poem Iambics for Seleucus written some time after 394 , discusses debate over the inclusion of a number of books that should be received , and seems uncertain about the later Epistles of Peter and John , Jude , and Revelation . Pope Damasus I ( edit ) Pope Damasus 's commissioning of the Latin Vulgate edition of the Bible to Jerome , c. 383 , was instrumental in the fixation of the canon in the West . Pope Damasus I is often considered to be the father of the Catholic canon , since what is thought as his list corresponds to the current Catholic canon . Purporting to date from a `` Council of Rome '' under Pope Damasus I in 382 , the so - called `` Damasian list '' which some attributed to the Decretum Gelasianum gives a list identical to what would be the Canon of Trent , and , though the text may in fact not be Damasian , it is at least a valuable 6th century compilation . This list , given below , was purportedly endorsed by Pope Damasus I : ( A list of books of the Old Testament ... ) , and in the New Testament : 4 books of Gospels , 1 book of Acts of the Apostles , 13 letters of the Apostle Paul , 1 of him to the Hebrews , 2 of Peter , 3 of John , 1 of James , 1 of Jude , and the Apocalypse of John . The so - called Decretum Gelasianum de libris recipiendis et non recipiendis , is traditionally attributed to Pope Gelasius I , bishop of Rome 492 -- 496 AD . However , upon the whole it is probably of South Gallic origin ( 6th century ) , but several parts can be traced back to Pope Damasus and reflect Roman tradition . The 2nd part is a canon catalogue , and the 5th part is a catalogue of apocryphal writings which are to be rejected . The canon catalogue gives all 27 books of the Catholic New Testament . Jerome ( edit ) McDonald & Sanders 2002 , Appendix D - 2 , lists the following New Testament books according to Jerome , ( c. 394 ) , from his Epistle 53 : `` Lord 's Four '' : Matt , Mark , Luke , John , Paul 's Epistles ( 14 ) , 1 -- 2 Peter , 1 -- 3 John , Jude , James , Acts , Rev . Augustine and the North African councils ( edit ) Augustine of Hippo declared that one is to `` prefer those that are received by all Catholic Churches to those which some of them do not receive . Among those , again , which are not received by all , he will prefer such as have the sanction of the greater number and those of greater authority , to such as are held by the smaller number and those of less authority . '' ( On Christian Doctrines 2.12 , chapter 8 ) . Augustine effectively forced his opinion on the Church by commanding three synods on canonicity : the Synod of Hippo in 393 , the Synod of Carthage ( 397 ) , and another in Carthage in 419 AD ( M 237 - 8 ) . Each of these reiterated the same Church law : `` nothing shall be read in church under the name of the divine scriptures '' except the Old Testament ( including the Deuterocanonicals ) and the 27 canonical books of the New Testament . It seems these decrees also declared by fiat that Epistle to the Hebrews was written by Paul , for a time ending all debate on the subject . The first council that accepted the present canon of the books of the New Testament may have been the Synod of Hippo in North Africa ( 393 ) . A brief summary of the acts was read at and accepted by the Synod of Carthage ( 397 ) and Council of Carthage ( 419 ) . These councils were convened under the authority of St. Augustine , who regarded the canon as already closed . This North African canon reaffirmed at the Council of Trent of 1546 . Pope Innocent I ( edit ) In c. 405 , Pope Innocent I sent a list of the sacred books to a Gallic bishop , Exsuperius of Toulouse , identical with that of Trent . It states `` fourteen '' Epistles of Paul , but F.F. Bruce prefers `` thirteen '' excluding the Hebrews . According to the Catholic Encyclopedia , by the turn of the 5th century , the Western Church under Pope Innocent I recognized a biblical canon including the four gospels of Matthew , Mark , Luke , and John , which was previously established at a number of regional Synods , namely the Council of Rome ( 382 ) , the Synod of Hippo ( 393 ) , and two Councils of Carthage ( 397 and 419 ) . Eastern canons ( edit ) See also : Eastern Christianity The Eastern Churches had , in general , a weaker feeling than those in the West for the necessity of making a sharp delineation with regard to the canon . They were more conscious of the gradation of spiritual quality among the books that they accepted ( e.g. the classification of Eusebius , see also Antilegomena ) and were less often disposed to assert that the books which they rejected possessed no spiritual quality at all . Similarly , the New Testament canons of the Syriac , Armenian , Georgian , Egyptian Coptic and Ethiopian Churches all have minor differences . The Revelation of John is one of the most uncertain books ; in the East , chiliasm and Montanism brought it under suspicion ; it was not translated into Georgian until the 10th century , and it has never been included in the official lectionary of the Eastern Orthodox Church , whether in Byzantine or modern times . However , its canonical status is recognized . Outside the Empire ( edit ) This section possibly contains original research .

( January 2016 ) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message ) Syriac canon ( edit ) Main article : Peshitta In the 4th century , the Doctrine of Addai lists a 17 - book NT canon using the Diatessaron and Acts and 15 Pauline epistles ( including 3rd Corinthians ) . The Syriac Doctrine of Addai ( c. 400 ) claims to record the oldest traditions of the Syriac Christianity , and among these is the establishment of a canon : members of the church are to read only the Gospel ( meaning the Diatessaron of Tatian ) , the Epistles of Paul ( which are said to have been sent by Peter , from Rome ) , and the Book of Acts ( which is said to have been sent by John the son of Zebedee , from Ephesus ) , and nothing else . For centuries the Diatessaron , along with Acts and the Pauline Epistles ( except Philemon ) , comprised the only accepted books of the Syriac Christianity , meaning that Tatian 's stricter views , resulting in the rejection in 1 Timothy , did not win out . Moreover , after the pronouncements of the 4th century on the proper content of the Bible , Tatian was declared a heretic and in the early 4th century Bishop Theodoretus of Cyrrhus and Bishop Rabbula of Edessa ( both in Syria ) rooted out all copies they could find of the Diatessaron and replaced them with the four canonical Gospels ( M 215 ) . As a result , no early copies of the Diatessaron survive -- although a very early fragment suggests it would have been crucial evidence for the true state of the early Gospels ( see IX ) . By the 5th century , the Syriac Bible , called the Peshitta , was formalized , accepting Philemon , along with James , 1 Peter and 1 John , but excluding 2 John , 3 John , 2 Peter , Jude and Revelation . After the Council of Ephesus , the Church of the East became separated , and retained this canon of only 22 - books ( the Peshitta ) up to the present day . The Syriac Orthodox Church uses this text as well ( known in the West Syriac dialect as the Peshitto ) , but with the addition of the other books normally present in the New Testament canon . See also : Aramaic primacy The late - 5th or early - 6th century Peshitta of the Syriac Orthodox Church includes a 22 - book NT , excluding II Peter , II John , III John , Jude , and Revelation . The Lee Peshitta of 1823 follows the Protestant canon . McDonald & Sanders 2002 , lists the following Syrian catalogue of St. Catherine 's , c. 400 : Gospels ( 4 ) : Matt , Mark , Luke , John , Acts , Gal , Rom , Heb , Col , Eph , Phil , 1 -- 2 Thess , 1 -- 2 Tim , Titus , Phlm . The Syriac Peshitta , used by all the various Syriac Churches , originally did not include 2 Peter , 2 John , 3 John , Jude and Revelation ( and this canon of 22 - books is the one cited by John Chrysostom ( ~ 347 -- 407 ) and Theodoret ( 393 -- 466 ) from the School of Antioch ) . It also includes Psalm 151 and Psalm 152 -- 155 and 2 Baruch . Western Syrians have added the remaining 5 books to their NT canons in modern times ( such as the Lee Peshitta of 1823 ) . Today , the official lectionaries followed by the Malankara Syrian Orthodox Church , with headquarters at Kottayam ( India ) , and the Chaldean Syrian Church , also known as the Church of the East ( Nestorian ) , with headquarters at Trichur ( India ) , still present lessons from only the 22 - books of the original Peshitta . Armenian canon ( edit ) The Armenian Bible introduces one addition : a third letter to the Corinthians , also found in the Acts of Paul , which became canonized in the Armenian Church , but is not part of the Armenian Bible today . Revelation , however , was not accepted into the Armenian Bible until c. 1200 , when Archbishop Nerses arranged an Armenian Synod at Constantinople to introduce the text . Still , there were unsuccessful attempts even as late as 1290 to include in the Armenian canon several apocryphal books : Advice of the Mother of God to the Apostles , the Books of Criapos , and the ever - popular Epistle of Barnabas . The Armenian Apostolic church at times has included the Testaments of the Twelve Patriarchs in its Old Testament and the Third Epistle to the Corinthians , but does not always list it with the other 27 canonical New Testament books . Coptic and Ethiopian canons ( edit ) The Coptic Bible ( adopted by the Egyptian Church ) includes the two Epistles of Clement , and the Ethiopic Bible includes books nowhere else found : the Sinodos ( a collection of prayers and instructions supposedly written by Clement of Rome ) , the Octateuch ( a book supposedly written by Peter to Clement of Rome ) , the Book of the Covenant ( in two parts , the first details rules of church order , the second relates instructions from Jesus to the disciples given between the resurrection and the ascension ) , and the Didascalia ( with more rules of church order , similar to the Apostolic Constitutions ) . The New Testament of the Coptic Bible , adopted by the Egyptian Church , includes the two Epistles of Clement . The canon of the Tewahedo Churches is somewhat looser than for other traditional Christian groups , and the order , naming , and chapter / verse division of some of the books is also slightly different . The `` broader '' Ethiopian New Testament canon includes four books of `` Sinodos '' ( church practices ) , two `` Books of Covenant '' , `` Ethiopic Clement '' , and `` Ethiopic Didascalia '' ( Apostolic Church - Ordinances ) . However , these books have never been printed or widely studied . This `` broader '' canon is also sometimes said to include , with the Old Testament , an eight - part history of the Jews based on the writings of Flavius Josephus , and known as `` Pseudo-Josephus '' or `` Joseph ben Gurion '' ( Yosēf walda Koryon ) . Protestant developments ( from c. 1517 ) ( edit ) See also : Protestant Reformation The Encyclopedia of Theology says that the 27 books which make up the New Testament canon of Scripture are not based on a Scriptural list that authenticates them to be inspired , thus their legitimacy is considered impossible to be distinguished with certainty without appealing to another infallible source , such as the Magisterium of the Catholic Church which first assembled and authenticated this list at the Council of Rome . Catholicism considers the Magisterium , i.e. the teaching authority , has equal position and linked together with Sacred Tradition and Sacred Scripture , each acts in its own way for the goodness of the Church . Rejecting these , Protestant reformers focused on the doctrine of sola scriptura , i.e. the supreme authority of Scripture alone . Sola scriptura is one of the five solas , considered by some Protestant groups to be the theological pillars of the Protestant Reformation . Martin Luther ( edit ) Main article : Luther 's canon Martin Luther was troubled by four books , referred to as Luther 's Antilegomena : Jude , James , Hebrews , and Revelation ; and though he placed them in a secondary position relative to the rest , he did not exclude them . He did propose removing them from the canon , echoing the consensus of several Catholics such as Cardinal Cajetan and Erasmus , and partially because they were perceived to go against certain Protestant doctrines such as sola gratia and sola fide , but this was not generally accepted among his followers . However , these books are ordered last in the German - language Luther Bible to this day . Protestant confessions ( edit ) Among confessions of faith drawn up by Protestants , several identify by name the 27 - books of the New Testament canon , including the French Confession of Faith ( 1559 ) , the Belgic Confession ( 1561 ) , and the Westminster Confession of Faith ( 1647 ) during the English Civil War . The Thirty - Nine Articles , issued by the Church of England in 1563 , names the books of the Old Testament , but not the New Testament . None of the Confessional statements issued by any Lutheran church includes an explicit list of canonical books .

( December 2015 ) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message ) Many Evangelical Christian groups ( which have their origin in c. 1730 England ) do not accept the theory that the Christian Bible was not known until various local and Ecumenical Councils , which they deem to be `` Roman - dominated '' , made their official declarations . These groups believe that the New Testament supports that Paul ( 2 Timothy 4 : 11 -- 13 ) , Peter ( 2 Peter 3 : 15 -- 16 ) , and ultimately John ( Revelation 22 : 18 -- 19 ) finalized the canon of the New Testament . Some note that Peter , John , and Paul wrote 20 ( or 21 ) of the 27 - books of the NT and personally knew all the other NT writers . ( Books not attributed to these three are : Matthew , Mark , Luke , Acts , James , and Jude . The authorship of Hebrews has long been disputed . ) Many modern Protestants point to four `` Criteria for Canonicity '' to justify the books that have been included in the Old and New Testament , which are judged to have satisfied the following : Apostolic Origin -- attributed to and based on the preaching / teaching of the first - generation apostles ( or their close companions ) . Universal Acceptance -- acknowledged by all major Christian communities in the ancient world ( by the end of the 4th century ) . Liturgical Use -- read publicly when early Christian communities gathered for the Lord 's Supper ( their weekly worship services ) . Consistent Message -- containing a theological outlook similar or complementary to other accepted Christian writings . The basic factor for recognizing a book 's canonicity for the New Testament was divine inspiration , and the chief test for this was apostolicity . The term apostolic as used for the test of canonicity does not necessarily mean apostolic authorship or derivation , but rather apostolic authority . Apostolic authority is never detached from the authority of the Lord . See Apostolic succession . It is sometimes difficult to apply these criteria to all books in the accepted canon , however , and some point to books that Protestants hold as apocryphal which would fulfill these requirements . In practice , Protestants hold to the Jewish canon for the Old Testament and the Catholic canon for the New Testament . Catholic developments ( from c. 1546 ) ( edit ) See also : Catholic Reformation Council of Trent ( edit ) Main article : Canon of Trent The Council of Trent on April 8 , 1546 , approved the enforcement of the present Roman Catholic Bible Canon including the Deuterocanonical Books as an article of faith ( the contents of the canon itself having already been reaffirmed unanimously ) , and the decision was confirmed by an anathema by vote ( 24 yea , 15 nay , 16 abstain ) . This is said to be the same list as produced at the Council of Florence ( Session 11 , 4 February 1442 ) , Augustine 's 397 - 419 Councils of Carthage , and probably Damasus ' 382 Council of Rome . Because of its placement , the list was not considered binding for the Catholic Church , and in light of Martin Luther 's demands , the Catholic Church examined the question of the Canon again at the Council of Trent , which reaffirmed the canon of previous councils and added the anathema against attempts to change the contents of the canon . Later developments ( edit ) Vatican I on April 24 , 1870 approved the additions to Mark ( v. 16 : 9 -- 20 ) , Luke ( 22 : 19b -- 20 , 43 -- 44 ) , and John ( 7 : 53 -- 8 : 11 ) , which are not present in early manuscripts but are contained in the Vulgate edition . Pope Pius XI on June 2 , 1927 decreed the Comma Johanneum was open to dispute . Pope Pius XII on 3 September 1943 issued the encyclical Divino afflante Spiritu , which allowed translations based on texts other than the Latin Vulgate . Orthodox developments ( from c. 1672 ) ( edit ) Synod of Jerusalem ( edit ) Main article : Synod of Jerusalem See also : Development of the Old Testament canon § Eastern Orthodox Canon The Synod of Jerusalem in 1672 decreed the Greek Orthodox Canon which is similar as the one decided by the Council of Trent . They `` call ( ed ) Sacred Scripture all those ( books ) which Cyril collected from the Synod of Laodicea , and enumerated , adding to Scripture those which he foolishly and ignorantly , or rather maliciously , called Apocrypha ; specifically , ( List of deuterocanonical books ... ) . '' But it is to be noted that this was simply an affirmation of tradition , not a new canonization . As the Confession goes on to state , `` ancient custom , or rather the Catholic Church , which has delivered to us as genuine the Sacred Gospels and the other Books of Scripture , has undoubtedly delivered these ( deuterocanonical books ) also as parts of Scripture ... And if , perhaps , it seems that not always have all of these been considered on the same level as the others , yet nevertheless these also have been counted and reckoned with the rest of Scripture , both by Synods and by many of the most ancient and eminent Theologians of the Catholic Church . All of these we also judge to be Canonical Books , and confess them to be Sacred Scripture ...

Only the twenty - one or twenty - two books in the first category are in the church 's New Testament ( are canonical ) . It is the ancient church 's tradition of what the apostles wrote and handed down that is the criterion for evaluating these writings from the apostolic era , and only these twenty - one or twenty - two pass the test . In important recent contributions on this passage both Robbins and Baum agree that for Eusebius the church 's canon consists of these twenty - one or twenty - two books ... Given what we see in Eusebius in the early fourth century it is virtually impossible to imagine that the church had settled upon a twenty - seven book collection , or even one that approximated that , in the late second century . Moreover , whatever the merits of David Trobisch 's intriguing and important proposal that a twenty - seven book edition of the New Testament was produced in the second century , that notion seems hard to reconcile with what we have found in Eusebius regarding the church 's acceptance of apostolic writings in earlier centuries .

( May 2017 ) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message ) Lean manufacturing or lean production , often simply `` lean '' , is a systematic method for waste minimization ( `` Muda '' ) within a manufacturing system without sacrificing productivity , which can cause problems . Lean also takes into account waste created through overburden ( `` Muri '' ) and waste created through unevenness in work loads ( `` Mura '' ) . Working from the perspective of the client who consumes a product or service , `` value '' is any action or process that a customer would be willing to pay for . Lean manufacturing makes obvious what adds value , by reducing everything else ( which is not adding value ) . This management philosophy is derived mostly from the Toyota Production System ( TPS ) and identified as `` lean '' only in the 1990s . TPS is renowned for its focus on reduction of the original Toyota seven wastes to improve overall customer value , but there are varying perspectives on how this is best achieved . The steady growth of Toyota , from a small company to the world 's largest automaker , has focused attention on how it has achieved this success .

The term was first coined by John Krafcik in his 1988 article , `` Triumph of the Lean Production System '' , based on his master 's thesis at the MIT Sloan School of Management . Krafcik had been a quality engineer in the Toyota - GM NUMMI joint venture in California before joining MIT for MBA studies . Krafcik 's research was continued by the International Motor Vehicle Program ( IMVP ) at MIT , which produced the international best - selling book co-authored by James P. Womack , Daniel Jones , and Daniel Roos called The Machine That Changed the World . A complete historical account of the IMVP and how the term `` lean '' was coined is given by Holweg ( 2007 ) . For many , lean is the set of `` tools '' that assist in the identification and steady elimination of waste . As waste is eliminated quality improves while production time and cost are reduced . A non exhaustive list of such tools would include : SMED , value stream mapping , Five S , Kanban ( pull systems ) , poka - yoke ( error - proofing ) , total productive maintenance , elimination of time batching , mixed model processing , rank order clustering , single point scheduling , redesigning working cells , multi-process handling and control charts ( for checking mura ) . There is a second approach to lean manufacturing , which is promoted by Toyota , called The Toyota Way , in which the focus is upon improving the `` flow '' or smoothness of work , thereby steadily eliminating mura ( `` unevenness '' ) through the system and not upon ' waste reduction ' per se . Techniques to improve flow include production leveling , `` pull '' production ( by means of kanban ) and the Heijunka box . This is a fundamentally different approach from most improvement methodologies , and requires considerably more persistence than basic application of the tools , which may partially account for its lack of popularity . The difference between these two approaches is not the goal itself , but rather the prime approach to achieving it . The implementation of smooth flow exposes quality problems that already existed , and thus waste reduction naturally happens as a consequence . The advantage claimed for this approach is that it naturally takes a system - wide perspective , whereas a waste focus sometimes wrongly assumes this perspective . Both lean and TPS can be seen as a loosely connected set of potentially competing principles whose goal is cost reduction by the elimination of waste . These principles include : pull processing , perfect first - time quality , waste minimization , continuous improvement , flexibility , building and maintaining a long term relationship with suppliers , autonomation , load leveling and production flow and visual control . The disconnected nature of some of these principles perhaps springs from the fact that the TPS has grown pragmatically since 1948 as it responded to the problems it saw within its own production facilities . Thus what one sees today is the result of a ' need ' driven learning to improve where each step has built on previous ideas and not something based upon a theoretical framework . Toyota 's view is that the main method of lean is not the tools , but the reduction of three types of waste : muda ( non-value - adding work ) , muri ( overburden ) , and mura ( unevenness ) , to expose problems systematically and to use the tools where the ideal can not be achieved . From this perspective , the tools are workarounds adapted to different situations , which explains any apparent incoherence of the principles above . Lean implementation emphasizes the importance of optimizing work flow through strategic operational procedures while minimizing waste and being adaptable . Flexibility is required to allow production leveling ( Heijunka ) using tools such as SMED , but have their analogues in other processes such as research and development ( R&D ) . However , adaptability is often constrained , and therefore may not require significant investment . More importantly , all of these concepts have to be acknowledged by employees who develop the products and initiate processes that deliver value . The cultural and managerial aspects of lean are arguably more important than the actual tools or methodologies of production itself . There are many examples of lean tool implementation without sustained benefit , and these are often blamed on weak understanding of lean throughout the whole organization . Lean aims to enhance productivity by simplifying the operational structure enough to understand , perform and manage the work environment . To achieve these three goals simultaneously , one of Toyota 's mentoring methodologies ( loosely called Senpai and Kohai which is Japanese for senior and junior ) , can be used to foster lean thinking throughout the organizational structure from the ground up . The closest equivalent to Toyota 's mentoring process is the concept of `` Lean Sensei , '' which encourages companies , organizations , and teams to seek third - party experts that can provide advice and coaching . In 1999 , Spear and Bowen identified four rules which characterize the `` Toyota DNA '' : All work shall be highly specified as to content , sequence , timing , and outcome . Every customer - supplier connection must be direct , and there must be an unambiguous yes or no way to send requests and receive responses . The pathway for every product and service must be simple and direct . Any improvement must be made in accordance with the scientific method , under the guidance of a teacher , at the lowest possible level in the organization .

Unsourced material may be challenged and removed . ( June 2017 ) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message ) Benjamin Franklin Most of the basic goals of lean manufacturing and waste reduction were derived from Benjamin Franklin through documented examples . Poor Richard 's Almanack says of wasted time , `` He that idly loses 5 s . worth of time , loses 5s. , and might as prudently throw 5s . into the river . '' He added that avoiding unnecessary costs could be more profitable than increasing sales : `` A penny saved is two pence clear . A pin a-day is a groat a-year . Save and have . '' Again Franklin 's The Way to Wealth says the following about carrying unnecessary inventory . `` You call them goods ; but , if you do not take care , they will prove evils to some of you . You expect they will be sold cheap , and , perhaps , they may ( be bought ) for less than they cost ; but , if you have no occasion for them , they must be dear to you . Remember what Poor Richard says , ' Buy what thou hast no need of , and ere long thou shalt sell thy necessaries . ' In another place , he says , ' Many have been ruined by buying good penny worths ' . '' Henry Ford cited Franklin as a major influence on his own business practices , which included Just - in - time manufacturing . The accumulation of waste and energy within the work environment was noticed by motion efficiency expert Frank Gilbreth , who witnessed the inefficient practices of masons who often bend over to gather bricks from the ground . The introduction of a non-stooping scaffold , which delivered the bricks at waist level , allowed masons to work about three times as quickly , and with the least amount of effort . 20th century ( edit ) Frederick Winslow Taylor Frederick Winslow Taylor , the father of scientific management , introduced what are now called standardization and best practice deployment . In Principles of Scientific Management , ( 1911 ) , Taylor said : `` And whenever a workman proposes an improvement , it should be the policy of the management to make a careful analysis of the new method , and if necessary conduct a series of experiments to determine accurately the relative merit of the new suggestion and of the old standard . And whenever the new method is found to be markedly superior to the old , it should be adopted as the standard for the whole establishment . '' Taylor also warned explicitly against cutting piece rates ( or , by implication , cutting wages or discharging workers ) when efficiency improvements reduce the need for raw labor : `` ... after a workman has had the price per piece of the work he is doing lowered two or three times as a result of his having worked harder and increased his output , he is likely entirely to lose sight of his employer 's side of the case and become imbued with a grim determination to have no more cuts if soldiering ( marking time , just doing what he is told ) can prevent it . '' Shigeo Shingo , the best - known exponent of single minute exchange of die and error - proofing or poka - yoke , cites Principles of Scientific Management as his inspiration . American industrialists recognized the threat of cheap offshore labor to American workers during the 1910s , and explicitly stated the goal of what is now called lean manufacturing as a countermeasure . Henry Towne , past President of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers , wrote in the Foreword to Frederick Winslow Taylor 's Shop Management ( 1911 ) , `` We are justly proud of the high wage rates which prevail throughout our country , and jealous of any interference with them by the products of the cheaper labor of other countries . To maintain this condition , to strengthen our control of home markets , and , above all , to broaden our opportunities in foreign markets where we must compete with the products of other industrial nations , we should welcome and encourage every influence tending to increase the efficiency of our productive processes . '' Henry Ford ( edit ) Henry Ford Henry Ford initially ignored the impact of waste accumulation while developing his mass assembly manufacturing system . Charles Buxton Going wrote in 1915 : Ford 's success has startled the country , almost the world , financially , industrially , mechanically . It exhibits in higher degree than most persons would have thought possible the seemingly contradictory requirements of true efficiency , which are : constant increase of quality , great increase of pay to the workers , repeated reduction in cost to the consumer . And with these appears , as at once cause and effect , an absolutely incredible enlargement of output reaching something like one hundredfold in less than ten years , and an enormous profit to the manufacturer . Ford , in My Life and Work ( 1922 ) , provided a single - paragraph description that encompasses the entire concept of waste : I believe that the average farmer puts to a really useful purpose only about 5 % of the energy he expends ... Not only is everything done by hand , but seldom is a thought given to a logical arrangement . A farmer doing his chores will walk up and down a rickety ladder a dozen times . He will carry water for years instead of putting in a few lengths of pipe . His whole idea , when there is extra work to do , is to hire extra men . He thinks of putting money into improvements as an expense ... It is waste motion -- waste effort -- that makes farm prices high and profits low . Poor arrangement of the workplace -- a major focus of the modern kaizen -- and doing a job inefficiently out of habit -- are major forms of waste even in modern workplaces . Ford also pointed out how easy it was to overlook material waste . A former employee , Harry Bennett , wrote : One day when Mr. Ford and I were together he spotted some rust in the slag that ballasted the right of way of the D.T. & I ( railroad ) . This slag had been dumped there from our own furnaces . ' You know , ' Mr. Ford said to me , ' there 's iron in that slag . You make the crane crews who put it out there sort it over , and take it back to the plant . ' In other words , Ford saw the rust and realized that the steel plant was not recovering all of the iron . `` Workers on the first moving assembly line put together magnetos and flywheels for 1913 Ford autos '' Highland Park , Michigan Ford 's early success , however , was not sustainable . As James P. Womack and Daniel Jones pointed out in `` Lean Thinking '' , what Ford accomplished represented the `` special case '' rather than a robust lean solution . The major challenge that Ford faced was that his methods were built for a steady - state environment , rather than for the dynamic conditions firms increasingly face today . Although his rigid , top - down controls made it possible to hold variation in work activities down to very low levels , his approach did not respond well to uncertain , dynamic business conditions ; they responded particularly badly to the need for new product innovation . This was made clear by Ford 's precipitous decline when the company was forced to finally introduce a follow - on to the Model T . Design for Manufacture ( DFM ) is a concept derived from Ford which emphasizes the importance of standardizing individual parts as well as eliminating redundant components in My Life and Work . This standardization was central to Ford 's concept of mass production , and the manufacturing `` tolerances '' , or upper and lower dimensional limits that ensured interchangeability of parts became widely applied across manufacturing . Decades later , the renowned Japanese quality guru , Genichi Taguchi , demonstrated that this `` goal post '' method of measuring was inadequate . He showed that `` loss '' in capabilities did not begin only after exceeding these tolerances , but increased as described by the Taguchi Loss Function at any condition exceeding the nominal condition . This became an important part of W. Edwards Deming 's quality movement of the 1980s , later helping to develop improved understanding of key areas of focus such as cycle time variation in improving manufacturing quality and efficiencies in aerospace and other industries . While Ford is renowned for his production line , it is often not recognized how much effort he put into removing the fitters ' work to make the production line possible . Previous to the use , Ford 's car 's components were fitted and reshaped by a skilled engineer at the point of use , so that they would connect properly . By enforcing very strict specification and quality criteria on component manufacture , he eliminated this work almost entirely , reducing manufacturing effort by between 60 - 90 % . However , Ford 's mass production system failed to incorporate the notion of `` pull production '' and thus often suffered from overproduction . Toyota develops TPS ( edit ) Toyota 's development of ideas that later became lean may have started at the turn of the 20th century with Sakichi Toyoda , in a textile factory with looms that stopped themselves when a thread broke . This became the seed of autonomation and Jidoka . Toyota 's journey with just - in - time ( JIT ) may have started back in 1934 when it moved from textiles to produce its first car . Kiichiro Toyoda , founder of Toyota Motor Corporation , directed the engine casting work and discovered many problems in their manufacturing . He decided he must stop the repairing of poor quality by intense study of each stage of the process . In 1936 , when Toyota won its first truck contract with the Japanese government , his processes hit new problems and he developed the `` Kaizen '' improvement teams . Levels of demand in the Post War economy of Japan were low and the focus of mass production on lowest cost per item via economies of scale therefore had little application . Having visited and seen supermarkets in the USA , Taiichi Ohno recognised the scheduling of work should not be driven by sales or production targets but by actual sales . Given the financial situation during this period , over-production had to be avoided and thus the notion of Pull ( build to order rather than target driven Push ) came to underpin production scheduling . It was with Taiichi Ohno at Toyota that these themes came together . He built on the already existing internal schools of thought and spread their breadth and use into what has now become the Toyota Production System ( TPS ) . It is principally from the TPS ( which was widely referred to in the 1980s as just - in - time manufacturing ) , but now including many other sources , that lean production is developing . Norman Bodek wrote the following in his foreword to a reprint of Ford 's Today and Tomorrow : I was first introduced to the concepts of just - in - time ( JIT ) and the Toyota production system in 1980 . Subsequently I had the opportunity to witness its actual application at Toyota on one of our numerous Japanese study missions . There I met Mr. Taiichi Ohno , the system 's creator . When bombarded with questions from our group on what inspired his thinking , he just laughed and said he learned it all from Henry Ford 's book . '' The scale , rigor and continuous learning aspects of TPS have made it a core concept of lean . Types of waste ( edit ) Although the elimination of waste may seem like a simple and clear subject , it is noticeable that waste is often very conservatively identified . This then hugely reduces the potential of such an aim . The elimination of waste is the goal of lean , and Toyota defined three broad types of waste : muda , muri and mura ; for many lean implementations this list shrinks to the first waste type only with reduced corresponding benefits . To illustrate the state of this thinking Shigeo Shingo observed that only the last turn of a bolt tightens it -- the rest is just movement . This ever finer clarification of waste is key to establishing distinctions between value - adding activity , waste and non-value - adding work . Non-value adding work is waste that must be done under the present work conditions . One key is to measure , or estimate , the size of these wastes , to demonstrate the effect of the changes achieved and therefore the movement toward the goal . The `` flow '' ( or smoothness ) based approach aims to achieve JIT , by removing the variation caused by work scheduling and thereby provide a driver , rationale or target and priorities for implementation , using a variety of techniques . The effort to achieve JIT exposes many quality problems that are hidden by buffer stocks ; by forcing smooth flow of only value - adding steps , these problems become visible and must be dealt with explicitly . Muri is all the unreasonable work that management imposes on workers and machines because of poor organization , such as carrying heavy weights , moving things around , dangerous tasks , even working significantly faster than usual . It is pushing a person or a machine beyond its natural limits . This may simply be asking a greater level of performance from a process than it can handle without taking shortcuts and informally modifying decision criteria . Unreasonable work is almost always a cause of multiple variations . To link these three concepts is simple in TPS and thus lean . Firstly , muri focuses on the preparation and planning of the process , or what work can be avoided proactively by design . Next , mura then focuses on how the work design is implemented and the elimination of fluctuation at the scheduling or operations level , such as quality and volume . Muda is then discovered after the process is in place and is dealt with reactively . It is seen through variation in output . It is the role of management to examine the muda , in the processes and eliminate the deeper causes by considering the connections to the muri and mura of the system . The muda and mura inconsistencies must be fed back to the muri , or planning , stage for the next project . A typical example of the interplay of these wastes is the corporate behaviour of `` making the numbers '' as the end of a reporting period approaches . Demand is raised to ' make plan , ' increasing ( mura ) , when the `` numbers '' are low , which causes production to try to squeeze extra capacity from the process , which causes routines and standards to be modified or stretched . This stretch and improvisation leads to muri - style waste , which leads to downtime , mistakes and back flows , and waiting , thus the muda of waiting , correction and movement . The original seven mudas are : Transport ( moving products that are not actually required to perform the processing ) Inventory ( all components , work in process , and finished product not being processed ) Motion ( people or equipment moving or walking more than is required to perform the processing ) Waiting ( waiting for the next production step , interruptions of production during shift change ) Overproduction ( production ahead of demand ) Over Processing ( resulting from poor tool or product design creating activity ) Defects ( the effort involved in inspecting for and fixing defects ) Eventually , an eighth `` muda '' was defined by Womack et al. ( 2003 ) ; it was described as manufacturing goods or services that do not meet customer demand or specifications . Many others have added the `` waste of unused human talent '' to the original seven wastes . For example , Six Sigma includes the waste of Skills , referred to as `` under - utilizing capabilities and delegating tasks with inadequate training '' . Other additional wastes added were for example `` space '' . These wastes were not originally a part of the seven deadly wastes defined by Taiichi Ohno in TPS , but were found to be useful additions in practice . In 1999 Geoffrey Mika in his book , `` Kaizen Event Implementation Manual '' added three more forms of waste that are now universally accepted ; The waste associated with working to the wrong metrics or no metrics , the waste associated with not utilizing a complete worker by not allowing them to contribute ideas and suggestions and be part of Participative Management , and lastly the waste attributable to improper use of computers ; not having the proper software , training on use and time spent surfing , playing games or just wasting time . For a complete listing of the `` old '' and `` new '' wastes see Bicheno and Holweg ( 2009 ) The identification of non-value - adding work , as distinct from wasted work , is critical to identifying the assumptions behind the current work process and to challenging them in due course . Breakthroughs in SMED and other process changing techniques rely upon clear identification of where untapped opportunities may lie if the processing assumptions are challenged . Lean implementation develops from TPS ( edit ) Lean Leadership ( 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 . ( June 2017 ) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message ) The role of the leaders within the organization is the fundamental element of sustaining the progress of lean thinking . Experienced kaizen members at Toyota , for example , often bring up the concepts of Senpai , Kohai , and Sensei , because they strongly feel that transferring of Toyota culture down and across Toyota can only happen when more experienced Toyota Sensei continuously coach and guide the less experienced lean champions . One of the dislocative effects of lean is in the area of key performance indicators ( KPI ) . The KPIs by which a plant / facility are judged will often be driving behaviour , because the KPIs themselves assume a particular approach to the work being done . This can be an issue where , for example a truly lean , Fixed Repeating Schedule ( FRS ) and JIT approach is adopted , because these KPIs will no longer reflect performance , as the assumptions on which they are based become invalid . It is a key leadership challenge to manage the impact of this KPI chaos within the organization . Similarly , commonly used accounting systems developed to support mass production are no longer appropriate for companies pursuing lean . Lean accounting provides truly lean approaches to business management and financial reporting . After formulating the guiding principles of its lean manufacturing approach in the Toyota Production System ( TPS ) , Toyota formalized in 2001 the basis of its lean management : the key managerial values and attitudes needed to sustain continuous improvement in the long run . These core management principles are articulated around the twin pillars of Continuous Improvement ( relentless elimination of waste ) and Respect for People ( engagement in long term relationships based on continuous improvement and mutual trust ) . This formalization stems from problem solving . As Toyota expanded beyond its home base for the past 20 years , it hit the same problems in getting TPS properly applied that other western companies have had in copying TPS . Like any other problem , it has been working on trying a series of countermeasures to solve this particular concern . These countermeasures have focused on culture : how people behave , which is the most difficult challenge of all . Without the proper behavioral principles and values , TPS can be totally misapplied and fail to deliver results . As with TPS , the values had originally been passed down in a master - disciple manner , from boss to subordinate , without any written statement on the way . Just as with TPS , it was internally argued that formalizing the values would stifle them and lead to further misunderstanding . However , as Toyota veterans eventually wrote down the basic principles of TPS , Toyota set to put the Toyota Way into writing to educate new joiners . Continuous Improvement breaks down into three basic principles : Challenge : Having a long term vision of the challenges one needs to face to realize one 's ambition ( what we need to learn rather than what we want to do and then having the spirit to face that challenge ) . To do so , we have to challenge ourselves every day to see if we are achieving our goals . Kaizen : Good enough never is , no process can ever be thought perfect , so operations must be improved continuously , striving for innovation and evolution . Genchi Genbutsu : Going to the source to see the facts for oneself and make the right decisions , create consensus , and make sure goals are attained at the best possible speed . Respect For People is less known outside of Toyota , and essentially involves two defining principles : Respect : Taking every stakeholders ' problems seriously , and making every effort to build mutual trust . Taking responsibility for other people reaching their objectives . Teamwork : This is about developing individuals through team problem - solving . The idea is to develop and engage people through their contribution to team performance . Shop floor teams , the whole site as team , and team Toyota at the outset . Differences from TPS ( edit ) While lean is seen by many as a generalization of the Toyota Production System into other industries and contexts , there are some acknowledged differences that seem to have developed in implementation : Seeking profit is a relentless focus for Toyota exemplified by the profit maximization principle ( Price -- Cost = Profit ) and the need , therefore , to practice systematic cost reduction ( through TPS or otherwise ) to realize benefit . Lean implementations can tend to de-emphasise this key measure and thus become fixated with the implementation of improvement concepts of `` flow '' or `` pull '' . However , the emergence of the `` value curve analysis '' promises to directly tie lean improvements to bottom - line performance measurements . Tool orientation is a tendency in many programs to elevate mere tools ( standardized work , value stream mapping , visual control , etc . ) to an unhealthy status beyond their pragmatic intent . The tools are just different ways to work around certain types of problems but they do not solve them for you or always highlight the underlying cause of many types of problems . The tools employed at Toyota are often used to expose particular problems that are then dealt with , as each tool 's limitations or blindspots are perhaps better understood . So , for example , Value Stream Mapping focuses upon material and information flow problems ( a title built into the Toyota title for this activity ) but is not strong on Metrics , Man or Method . Internally they well know the limits of the tool and understood that it was never intended as the best way to see and analyze every waste or every problem related to quality , downtime , personnel development , cross training related issues , capacity bottlenecks , or anything to do with profits , safety , metrics or morale , etc . No one tool can do all of that . For surfacing these issues other tools are much more widely and effectively used . Management technique rather than change agents has been a principle in Toyota from the early 1950s when they started emphasizing the development of the production manager 's and supervisors ' skills set in guiding natural work teams and did not rely upon staff - level change agents to drive improvements . This can manifest itself as a `` Push '' implementation of lean rather than `` Pull '' by the team itself . This area of skills development is not that of the change agent specialist , but that of the natural operations work team leader . Although less prestigious than the TPS specialists , development of work team supervisors in Toyota is considered an equally , if not more important , topic merely because there are tens of thousands of these individuals . Specifically , it is these manufacturing leaders that are the main focus of training efforts in Toyota since they lead the daily work areas , and they directly and dramatically affect quality , cost , productivity , safety , and morale of the team environment . In many companies implementing lean the reverse set of priorities is true . Emphasis is put on developing the specialist , while the supervisor skill level is expected to somehow develop over time on its own . Lack of understanding is one of the key reasons that a large share of lean manufacturing projects in the West fail to bring any benefit . In Factory Physics , Hopp and Spearman describe this as romantic JIT , where the belief in the methods is more important than the actual understanding and results . In this aspect , lean manufacturing is more of a religion than a science . Others have compared it to cargo cult science . Lean services ( edit ) Main article : Lean services Lean principles have been successfully applied to various sectors and services , such as call centers and healthcare . In the former , lean 's waste reduction practices have been used to reduce handle time , within and between agent variation , accent barriers , as well as attain near perfect process adherence . In the latter , several hospitals have adopted the idea of lean hospital , a concept that priorizes the patient , thus increasing the employee commitment and motivation , as well as boosting medical quality and cost effectiveness . Lean principles also have applications to software development and maintenance as well as other sectors of information technology ( IT ) . More generally , the use of lean in information technology has become known as Lean IT . Lean methods are also applicable to the public sector , but most results have been achieved using a much more restricted range of techniques than lean provides . The challenge in moving lean to services is the lack of widely available reference implementations to allow people to see how directly applying lean manufacturing tools and practices can work and the impact it does have . This makes it more difficult to build the level of belief seen as necessary for strong implementation . However , some research does relate widely recognized examples of success in retail and even airlines to the underlying principles of lean . Despite this , it remains the case that the direct manufacturing examples of ' techniques ' or ' tools ' need to be better ' translated ' into a service context to support the more prominent approaches of implementation , which has not yet received the level of work or publicity that would give starting points for implementors . The upshot of this is that each implementation often ' feels its way ' along as must the early industrial engineering practices of Toyota . This places huge importance upon sponsorship to encourage and protect these experimental developments . Lean management is nowadays implemented also in non-manufacturing processes and administrative processes . In non-manufacturing processes is still huge potential for optimization and efficiency increase . Goals and strategy ( edit ) The espoused goals of lean manufacturing systems differ between various authors . While some maintain an internal focus , e.g. to increase profit for the organization , others claim that improvements should be done for the sake of the customer . Some commonly mentioned goals are : Improve quality : To stay competitive in today 's marketplace , a company must understand its customers ' wants and needs and design processes to meet their expectations and requirements . Eliminate waste : Waste is any activity that consumes time , resources , or space but does not add any value to the product or service . Reduce time : Reducing the time it takes to finish an activity from start to finish is one of the most effective ways to eliminate waste and lower costs . Reduce total costs : To minimize cost , a company must produce only to customer demand . Overproduction increases a company 's inventory costs because of storage needs . The strategic elements of lean can be quite complex , and comprise multiple elements . Four different notions of lean have been identified : Lean as a fixed state or goal ( being lean ) Lean as a continuous change process ( becoming lean ) Lean as a set of tools or methods ( doing lean / toolbox lean ) Lean as a philosophy ( lean thinking ) Examples : Lean strategy in the global supply chain , and its crisis ( edit ) Strategy ( edit ) This section needs additional citations for verification .

( June 2017 ) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message ) Lean production has been adopted into other industries to promote productivity and efficiency in an ever changing market . In global supply chain and outsource scale , Information Technology is necessary and can deal with most of hard lean practices to synchronise pull system in supply chains and value system . The manufacturing industry can renew and change strategy of production just in time . The supply chains take changes in deploying second factory or warehouse near their major markets in order to react consumers ' need promptly instead of investing manufacturing factories on the lost - cost countries . For instance , Dell sells computers directly from their website , cutting franchised dealers out of their supply chains . Then , the firm use outsourced partners to produce its components , deliver components to their assembly plants on these main markets around the world , like America and China . Zara made decision of speeding their fashion to the consumers market by fast - producing cloths within five weeks with their local partners in Spain and never involved in mass production to pursue new styles and keep products fresh . The other way to avoid market risk and control the supply efficiently is to cut down in stock . P&G has done the goal to co-operate with Walmart and other wholesales companies by building the response system of stocks directly to the suppliers companies . With the improvement of global scale supply chains , firms apply lean practices ( JIT , supplier partnership , and customer involvement ) built between global firms and suppliers intensively to connect with consumers markets efficiently . Crisis ( edit ) After years of success of Toyota 's Lean Production , the consolidation of supply chain networks has brought Toyota to the position of being the world 's biggest carmaker in the rapid expansion . In 2010 , the crisis of safety - related problems in Toyota made other carmakers that duplicated Toyota 's supply chain system wary that the same recall issue might happen to them . James Womack had warned Toyota that cooperating with single outsourced suppliers might bring unexpected problems . Indeed , the crisis cost a great fortune and left Toyota thinking whether the JIT practice has problems about outsourced suppliers without enough experience and senior engineers could not achieve the monitoring job close to their suppliers out of Japan . That is proven as the economy of scale becomes global , the soft - learn practices become more important in their outsourced suppliers , if they could keep good Sensei relationship with their partners and constantly modify production process to perfection . Otherwise , Toyota begins to consider whether to have more choices of suppliers of producing the same component , it might bring more safety on risk - control and reduce the huge cost that might happen in the future . The appliance of JIT in supply chain system is the key issue of Lean implementation in global scale . How do the supply partners avoid causing production flow ? Global firms should make more suppliers who can compete with each other in order to get the best quality and lower the risk of production flow at the same time . Steps to achieve lean systems ( edit ) The following steps should be implemented to create the ideal lean manufacturing system : Design a simple manufacturing system Recognize that there is always room for improvement Continuously improve the lean manufacturing system design Design a simple manufacturing system ( edit ) A fundamental principle of lean manufacturing is demand - based flow manufacturing . In this type of production setting , inventory is only pulled through each production center when it is needed to meet a customer 's order . The benefits of this goal include : Decreased cycle time Less inventory Increased productivity Increased capital equipment utilization Continuous improvement ( edit ) A continuous improvement mindset is essential to reach the company 's goals . The term `` continuous improvement '' means incremental improvement of products , processes , or services over time , with the goal of reducing waste to improve workplace functionality , customer service , or product performance . Lean is founded on the concept of continuous and incremental improvements on product and process while eliminating redundant activities . `` The value of adding activities are simply only those things the customer is willing to pay for , everything else is waste , and should be eliminated , simplified , reduced , or integrated '' ( Rizzardo , 2003 ) . Improving the flow of material through new ideal system layouts at the customer 's required rate would reduce waste in material movement and inventory . Measure ( edit ) Overall equipment effectiveness ( OEE ) is a set of performance metrics that fit well in a lean environment . Also , PMTS , methods - time measurement , cost analysis and perhaps time study can be used to evaluate the wastes and IT effectiveness in the operational processes . For example , Jun - Ing Ker and Yichuan Wang analyze two prescribing technologies , namely no carbon required ( NCR ) and digital scanning technologies to quantify the advantages of the medication ordering , transcribing , and dispensing process in a multi-hospital health system . With comparison between these two technologies , the statistical analysis results show a significant reduction on process times by adopting digital scanning technology . The results indicated a reduction of 54.5 % in queue time , 32.4 % in order entry time , 76.9 % in outgoing delay time , and 67.7 % in outgoing transit time with the use of digital scanning technology . Criticism ( edit ) One criticism of lean is that its practitioners may focus on tools and methodologies rather than on the philosophy and culture of lean . Consequently , adequate management is needed in order to avoid failed implementation of lean methodologies . Another pitfall is that management decides what solution to use without understanding the true problem and without consulting shop floor personnel . As a result , lean implementations often look good to the manager but fail to improve the situation . In addition , many of the popular lean initiatives , coming from the TPS , are solutions to specific problems that Toyota was facing . Toyota , having an undesired current condition , determined what the end state would look like . Through much study , the gap was closed , which resulted in many of the tools in place today . Often , when a tool is implemented outside of TPS , a company believes that the solution lay specifically within one of the popular lean initiatives . The tools which were the solution to a specific problem for a specific company may not be able to be applied in exactly the same manner as designed . Thus , the solution does not fit the problem and a temporary solution is created vs. the actual root cause . The lean philosophy aims to reduce costs while optimizing and improving performance . Value stream mapping ( VSM ) and 5S are the most common approaches companies take on their first steps towards making their organisation leaner . Lean actions can be focused on the specific logistics processes , or cover the entire supply chain . For example , you might start from analysis of SKUs ( stock keeping units ) , using several days to identify and draw each SKUs path , evaluating all the participants from material suppliers to the consumer . Conducting a gap analysis determines the company 's ' must take ' steps to improve the value stream and achieve the objective . Based on that evaluation , the improvement group conducts the failure mode effects analysis ( FMEA ) , in order to identify and prevent risk factors . It is crucial for front - line workers to be involved in VSM activities since they understood the process and can directly increase the efficiency . Although the impact may be small and limited for each lean activity , implementing a series small improvements incrementally along the supply chain can bring forth enhanced productivity . After adopting the lean approach , both managers and employees experience change . Therefore , decisive leaders are needed when starting on a lean journey . There are several requirements to control the lean journey . First and most importantly , experts recommend that the organization have its own lean plan , developed by the lean Leadership . In other words , the lean team provides suggestions for the leader who then makes the actual decisions about what to implement . Second , coaching is recommended when the organization starts off on its lean journey . They will impart their knowledge and skills to shopfloor staff and the lean implementation will be much more efficient . Third , the metrics or measurements used for measuring lean and improvements are extremely important . It will enable collection of the data required for informed decision - making by a leader . One can not successfully implement lean without sufficient aptitude at measuring the process and outputs . To control and improve results going forward , one must see and measure , i.e. map , what is happening now . Lean manufacturing is different from lean enterprise . Recent research reports the existence of several lean manufacturing processes but of few lean enterprises . One distinguishing feature opposes lean accounting and standard cost accounting . For standard cost accounting , SKUs are difficult to grasp . SKUs include too much hypothesis and variance , i.e. , SKUs hold too much indeterminacy . Manufacturing may want to consider moving away from traditional accounting and adopting lean accounting . In using lean accounting , one expected gain is activity - based cost visibility , i.e. , measuring the direct and indirect costs at each step of an activity rather than traditional cost accounting that limits itself to labor and supplies .

where did the term lean manufacturing come from
[ "Lean principles are derived from the Japanese manufacturing industry. The term was first coined by John Krafcik in his 1988 article, \"Triumph of the Lean Production System\", based on his master's thesis at the MIT Sloan School of Management.[4] Krafcik had been a quality engineer in the Toyota-GM NUMMI joint venture in California before joining MIT for MBA studies. Krafcik's research was continued by the International Motor Vehicle Program (IMVP) at MIT, which produced the international best-selling book co-authored by James P. Womack, Daniel Jones, and Daniel Roos called The Machine That Changed the World.[1] A complete historical account of the IMVP and how the term \"lean\" was coined is given by Holweg (2007).[2]\n" ]

England at the FIFA World Cup
England at the FIFA World Cup - wikipedia England at the FIFA World Cup The England national football team has competed at the FIFA World Cup since 1950 . The FIFA World Cup is the premier competitive international football tournament , first played in 1930 , whose finals stage has been held every four years since , except 1942 and 1946 , due to the Second World War . The tournament consists of two parts , the qualification phase and the final phase ( officially called the World Cup Finals ) . The qualification phase , which currently take place over the three years preceding the finals , is used to determine which teams qualify for the finals . The current format of the finals involves thirty - two teams competing for the title , at venues within the host nation ( or nations ) over a period of about a month . The World Cup Finals is the most widely viewed sporting event in the world , with an estimated 715.1 million people watching the 2006 Final . England did not enter the competition until 1950 , but have entered all eighteen subsequent tournaments . They have failed to qualify for the finals on three occasions , 1974 ( West Germany ) , 1978 ( Argentina ) and 1994 ( United States ) , and have failed to advance from the group stages on three occasions ; at the 1950 FIFA World Cup , the 1958 FIFA World Cup and the 2014 FIFA World Cup . Their best ever performance is winning the Cup in the 1966 tournament held in England , whilst they also finished in fourth place in 1990 , in Italy , and in 2018 in Russia . Other than that , the team have reached the quarter - finals on nine occasions , the latest of which were at the 2002 ( South Korea / Japan ) and the 2006 ( Germany ) . England are the only team not representing a sovereign state to win the World Cup , which they did in 1966 when they hosted the finals . They defeated West Germany 4 -- 2 after extra time to win the World Cup title . Since then , they have generally reached the knockout stages of almost every competition they have qualified for , including a fourth - place finish in the 1990 and 2018 World Cups . At the world cup , England have had more goalless draws than any other team .

The series kicked off for England on 15 October 1949 at Ninian Park , Cardiff , against Wales . Stan Mortensen gave England the lead after twenty two minutes , and just seven minutes later , Jackie Milburn doubled the lead . This was the first goal of Milburn 's hat trick , which left England 4 -- 0 up with 20 minutes to play . Mal Griffiths scored a consolation goal for Wales ten minutes from time , but England held on for a comfortable victory . A month later , England welcomed Ireland to Maine Road , and it began well for the home side as Jack Rowley scored inside six minutes . England were already 6 -- 0 up , thanks to Jack Froggatt , two for Stan Pearson , Stan Mortensen and a second from Rowley , by the time Ireland struck back through Samuel Smyth after 55 minutes . Rowley added a third and a fourth to his tally in the three minutes following Smyth 's goal , however , leaving the score at 8 -- 1 at the hour mark . The frantic scoring rate calmed down after that , with only one apeice before the final whistle , with Stan Pearson completing his brace for England 's ninth , and Bobby Brennan scoring for Ireland . It was not until May 1950 that England travelled to Hampden Park to face Scotland , who were also undefeated after their games against Ireland and Wales . With the top two from the group qualifying , both teams were guaranteed progression to the finals , and the game was solely for the honour of winning the British Home Championship , and the seeding advantage to be enjoyed upon reaching Brazil . A solitary goal from Roy Bentley gave England the victory , the title and the top spot in the group . 1950 finals ( edit ) England were seeded in pot one for the finals , which meant they were the favourites to progress from Group 2 , which also contained Spain , Chile and the United States . England 's campaign kicked off against Chile in Rio de Janeiro , and , as was expected , England cruised to a 2 -- 0 victory , courtesy of goals from Stan Mortensen and Wilf Mannion . Main article : United States v England ( 1950 FIFA World Cup ) Their troubles began four days later when they faced the Americans in Belo Horizonte in what has become one of the most famous matches of all time . Joe Gaetjens scored the only goal of the match to give the United States an unlikely victory , which has gone down as one of the World Cup 's greatest upsets . A myth arose that the English newspapers were so confident of an English victory that when the result was telegrammed back , they assumed a misprint and printed the score as 10 -- 1 in England 's favour . However , this has proven to be untrue . This left England in a sticky situation prior to their final match , against Spain in Rio . They needed to win , and for Chile to beat the United States to stand any chance of going through , and even then they would need the goal averages to fall in their favour . As it turned out , no such calculations were necessary , despite Chile 's victory , as Spain 's Zarra scored the only goal of the game , eliminating England from the competition . Switzerland 1954 ( edit ) This section does not cite any sources . Please help improve this section by adding citations to reliable sources . Unsourced material may be challenged and removed . ( July 2018 ) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message ) Main articles : 1954 FIFA World Cup and 1953 -- 54 British Home Championship As with their first World Cup , England 's qualifying for the 1954 edition also constituted the 1953 -- 54 British Home Championship . They played Wales at Ninian Park as their first match once again , and the 4 -- 1 result was the same . However , unlike four years earlier , it was the home side that went into the lead , after twenty two minutes through Ivor Allchurch . Despite being 1 -- 0 down at half time , England scored four within eight minutes of the restart ; two each for Dennis Wilshaw and Nat Lofthouse . Goodison Park was the venue for England 's home clash against Ireland , who were newly renamed Northern Ireland . Harold Hassall got England off to a good start with a goal after just ten minutes . Eddie McMorran put the Irish back on terms just before the hour mark , but Hassall completed his brace six minutes later . Lofthouse completed a comfortable 3 -- 1 win for England . With the top two in the group qualifying for the finals , the final game between England and Scotland , at Hampden Park , settled nothing except the placings within the group , despite Scotland having dropped a point with a 3 -- 3 draw at home to Wales . Allan Brown put the home side ahead after just seven minutes , but it was all square again thanks to Ivor Broadis just four minutes later . Johnny Nicholls gave England the lead for the first time just after half time , and they began to extend a lead after Ronnie Allen 's 68th - minute goal . Jimmy Mullen made the game all but certain seven minutes from time , and although Willie Ormond scored a consolation for Scotland with just 1 minute to play , England topped the competition for the second time in a row . 1954 finals ( edit ) England were drawn in Group 4 for the finals , with hosts Switzerland , Italy and Belgium . In an odd twist , unique to the 1954 tournament , England and Italy , as the two seeded teams in the group , did not have to play each other . Equally , Switzerland and Belgium did not have to play each other . England 's first game in Switzerland was against Belgium in Basel , and they suffered a shock as Léopold Anoul put the Belgians into the lead after just five minutes . Ivor Broadis put the favourites back on terms just over twenty minutes later , and although Nat Lofthouse gave England the lead 10 minutes later , it was proving to be tougher than they had expected against the Belgians . Broadis scored his second just after the hour , but Henri Coppens hit back four minutes later to keep Belgium in the game at only 3 -- 2 down . Anoul completed his brace another four minutes after that to level the scores again . In another oddity peculiar to this World Cup , drawn matches in the group stage would go to extra time , and as such the teams played on with the score at 3 -- 3 . Just one minute into the added period , Lofthouse added a fourth for England and they seemed to have won it , but Jimmy Dickinson scored an own goal three minutes later to put the score back at 4 -- 4 . It stayed this way until the extra period was up , and as penalty shoot - outs were yet to be invented and replays were not used in the group , the match was recorded as a draw . England 's second and final group game was against the hosts in Bern . This proved to be an easier game for the Three Lions , and they scored one goal in each half ( from Jimmy Mullen and Dennis Wilshaw respectively ) to give them a comfortable win of 2 -- 0 . As Switzerland ( against England ) , Italy ( against Switzerland ) and Belgium ( against Italy ) had all lost one game , England progressed as group winners , along with Switzerland , who won a play - off against Italy . England faced the winners of group three and defending champions Uruguay in the quarter - finals . Carlos Borges gave the South Americans the lead inside 5 minutes , but Lofthouse put England back on terms ten minutes later . England were clearly struggling , but held on until just before half time , when Obdulio Varela gave the lead back Uruguay . Juan Alberto Schiaffino doubled the lead just after the break , but Tom Finney kept England 's foot in the door with his sixty seventh - minute goal . However , it was all over after Javier Ambrois restored the two goal lead with twelve minutes to play . The score remained at 4 -- 2 , and England were eliminated from the cup . Sweden 1958 ( edit ) Main article : 1958 FIFA World Cup For the first time , England had to play against countries other than the Home Nations to reach the Finals in Sweden . They were drawn against the Republic of Ireland and Denmark . In the qualifying round , England won three out of the four games and drew the other . Four months before the World Cup , Roger Byrne , Duncan Edwards , David Pegg and Tommy Taylor all lost their lives in the Munich air disaster while playing for Manchester United . At the finals , which is the only tournament to have seen all Home Nations take part , the Home Nations were all drawn in different groups . England were drawn against the Soviet Union ( 2 -- 2 ) , Brazil ( 0 -- 0 ) and Austria ( 2 -- 2 ) , who finished third in the 1954 World Cup . At the end of the group stage , Soviet Union and England each had three points , and had scored four goals and conceded four goals . This meant there was a play - off to decide the second - placed team in the group , the winner to qualify . England lost the play - off 1 -- 0 and were thus knocked out . The only consolation for England was that they were the only team to play the eventual winners Brazil and not lose . Chile 1962 ( edit ) Main article : 1962 FIFA World Cup The third World Cup which took place in South America , saw England qualify by successfully qualifying from the group , which contained Portugal and Luxembourg , defeating Luxembourg on both occasions , and defeating Portugal at home , and drawing in Lisbon . At the finals , England were drawn in a group with Hungary , Argentina and Bulgaria . England defeated Argentina 3 - 1 , thanks to goals from Ron Flowers , Bobby Charlton and Jimmy Greaves , before playing out a goalless draw with Bulgaria , and a 2 -- 1 defeat to Hungary . England finished in second place behind Hungary and played the winners of group 3 , defending champions Brazil , in the quarter - finals . Brazil scored first through Garrincha , before an equaliser for Gerry Hitchens before half time . However , second - half goals from Garrincha and Vavá meant Brazil won the game 3 -- 1 , and eliminated England from the competition . This defeat was manager Walter Winterbottom 's last game in charge . Winterbottom had led England to four World Cup Finals . From May 1963 , Alf Ramsey became the manager of England . England 1966 ( edit ) Main article : 1966 FIFA World Cup This section needs expansion . You can help by adding to it . ( July 2018 ) In the 1966 World Cup Finals , England used their home advantage and , under Ramsey , won their first , and only , World Cup title . England played all their games at Wembley Stadium in London , which became the last time that the hosts were granted this privilege . After drawing 0 -- 0 in the opening game against former champions Uruguay , which started a run of four games all ending goalless . England then beat both France and Mexico 2 -- 0 and qualified for the quarter - finals . The quarter - finals saw England play Argentina , which ended in a 1 -- 0 win to England . This match saw the start of the rivalry between England and Argentina , when Argentinian Antonio Rattín was dismissed by German referee Rudolf Kreitlein in a very fierce game . A 2 -- 1 win against Portugal in the semi-final then followed . Portugal were the first team to score against England in the tournament . The final saw England play West Germany , with the result finishing in a 4 -- 2 win for England , after extra time . Mexico 1970 ( edit ) Main article : 1970 FIFA World Cup 1970 saw the first World Cup finals take place in North America and England qualified automatically for the tournament by winning the 1966 FIFA World Cup . England were drawn in a group with Romania , former world champions Brazil and Czechoslovakia . Each of the matches only saw one goal , with England defeating Romania and Czechoslovakia , and losing to Brazil . The quarter - final saw a repeat of the 1966 final , with England playing West Germany . England were hampered by the fact that first - choice goalkeeper Gordon Banks was ill , and Peter Bonetti played instead . England led 2 -- 0 with goals by Alan Mullery and Martin Peters , but in the 70th minute , Franz Beckenbauer pulled one goal back for West Germany . After Beckenbauer 's goal , Ramsey substituted Bobby Charlton , who overtook Billy Wright as England 's most capped player ever , with caps totalling 106 . Uwe Seeler equalised for the Germans in the eighty first minute , thereby taking the game into extra time . During extra time , Gerd Müller scored the winning goal for West Germany which saw the German side win 3 -- 2 . This turned out to be Charlton 's last game for England . West Germany 1974 ( edit ) Main article : 1974 FIFA World Cup qualification For the first time , England did not qualify for a World Cup . In a group with Olympic champions Poland and Wales , England could not overtake Poland . After only drawing at home to Wales 1 -- 1 and losing the first leg 2 -- 0 to Poland , meant that England had to beat Poland at home , whilst Poland only needed to draw . Poland managed to withstand England 's attacks in the first half , who had Martin Peters playing for them . Poland took the lead in the 57th minute with a goal from Jan Domarski . England equalised six minutes later , with a penalty converted by Allan Clarke . England were unable to score any more goals with goalkeeper Jan Tomaszewski keeping England at bay . Brian Clough had previously called Tomaszewski a `` clown '' . The commentator of the game then said `` it 's all over '' . Poland took this good form to the finals and ended in third place . After failing to qualify , Alf Ramsey resigned from his post and after a time , where Ramsey and his predecessor had lasted a total of 29 years , no manager was able to last in the job for longer than eight years . This ended when Bobby Robson became England manager . Argentina 1978 ( edit ) See also : 1978 FIFA World Cup qualification This section does not cite any sources . Please help improve this section by adding citations to reliable sources . Unsourced material may be challenged and removed . ( July 2018 ) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message ) England also did not qualify for the fourth World Cup which took place in South America . This time , England were denied by Italy , who had scored three more goals than England after both teams finished on the same points . Goals scored dictated who qualified after the head - to - head record between the two sides finished the same , following a 2 -- 0 home win for each team . The lower - ranked teams in the group were Finland and Luxembourg , but the size of the wins against them proved to be decisive . Nevertheless , Ron Greenwood was given a second chance in charge of England , after taking the role in 1977 . Spain 1982 ( edit ) Main article : 1982 FIFA World Cup 1982 saw the first time where the European Qualifying Rounds were divided into groups of five teams , where the top two teams qualify for the World Cup . Greenwood used his second chance and took England to Spain by finishing second behind Hungary and above Romania , Switzerland and Norway . At the finals , England won all three group games , defeating France 3 - 1 , with a brace from Bryan Robson , before beating Czechoslovakia 2 -- 0 , with a Jozef Barmos own goal , and World Cup newcomers Kuwait 1 -- 0 , thanks to a Trevor Francis goal . The next round saw a second group stage consisting of three teams , a first time event at the World Cup . England drew with West Germany 0 -- 0 and after the Germans beat Spain 2 -- 1 , England then had to beat Spain with a two - goal difference to progress to the next round . England , however , only managed a 0 -- 0 draw against the Spanish . England remained unbeaten at the end of the tournament . After the World Cup , Ron Greenwood 's time as England manager ended , and he was replaced by Bobby Robson . Mexico 1986 ( edit ) Main article : 1986 FIFA World Cup This section does not cite any sources . Please help improve this section by adding citations to reliable sources . Unsourced material may be challenged and removed . ( July 2018 ) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message ) 1986 saw the second World Cup to take place in Mexico . England qualified for Mexico 1986 by winning four games and drawing four times against Northern Ireland , who qualified in second place , Romania , Finland and Turkey . In Mexico , England lost their opening game to Portugal 1 -- 0 and could only manage a goalless draw against Morocco . The final group game , however , saw England beat Poland 3 -- 0 , which is one of the three highest scores for England at the World Cup , with Gary Lineker scoring a hat - trick . This result took England to second place and finished behind Morocco . England then also beat Paraguay 3 -- 0 in the Round of 16 . In the quarter - finals , England renewed their rivalry with Argentina in a game that has become notorious for the Argentina goals , both scored by Diego Maradona . Maradona 's first goal , known as the Hand of God , was illegal and should not have counted , as he used his hand to punch the ball into the net . However , the referee missed this infringement , and ruled that the goal should stand . Maradona then made the score 2 - 0 , famously dribbling from inside Argentina 's half and around several English players before scoring . Gary Lineker pulled back the score to 2 - 1 , but England ran out of time to equalise , and were eliminated . Nevertheless , Lineker finished with the Golden Boot by scoring six goals and thereby becoming England 's first Golden Boot winner . Italy 1990 ( edit ) Main article : 1990 FIFA World Cup By winning three and drawing three , England qualified for Italia ' 90 , the second World Cup to be held in Italy , scoring ten goals and conceding none . England were unbeaten through qualification , winning three games , and drawing the remaining three , but still finished second to Sweden , whom they drew with twice . England profited from Romania 's 3 -- 1 win over Denmark , who , had they won , would have qualified as the third - best second - placed team . West Germany and England were able to qualify for Italia ' 90 as the best second - placed teams in the groups with four teams . Because a few years previously saw English hooligans at European competition matches , England were forced to play their group games on Sardinia and Sicily . In group F , was the European champions Netherlands , the Republic of Ireland and Egypt and England . After opening the tournament with a 1 -- 1 draw against Ireland and a 0 -- 0 draw against the Dutch , England then beat Egypt 1 -- 0 . This was Egypt 's first appearance since the 1934 World Cup . England won the group with four points . In the next round , England had to play Belgium . The game went to extra time , and in the hundredth and nineteenth minute , David Platt scored the winning goal . England also had to play extra time against Cameroon in the quarter - finals . Cameroon were the first African team to have reached the quarter - finals . England opened the scoring through David Platt , but Cameroon quickly turned around the game to lead 2 - 1 . Lineker subsequently won and scored a penalty in the 83rd minute to ensure the game went to extra time . He then scored a second penalty , to see England reach the semi-finals . In the semi-finals , England met West Germany . There was no separating the two teams after 90 minutes , which made England the first team to have played extra time in three successive World Cup games . There was also no separating the two teams after extra time , thereby taking the game to penalties . Although English goalkeeper Peter Shilton dived the right way for every penalty , he was unable to save any . German goalkeeper Bodo Illgner , having failed to save any of England 's first three penalties , saved England 's fourth penalty , taken by Stuart Pearce . Olaf Thon then scored for Germany , meaning that England 's Chris Waddle would have to score his fifth penalty and hope that Shilton saved the Germans ' fifth penalty . However , Waddle 's penalty missed completely , going high over the crossbar , thereby resulting in England 's being knocked out of the competition . The third - place playoff between England and Italy saw England lose their only game of the tournament in normal time . Even though this was England 's best finish since the 1966 World Cup , Bobby Robson 's time as England manager had come to an end . United States 1994 ( edit ) Main article : 1994 FIFA World Cup qualification For the 1994 World Cup in the United States , under the leadership of new manager Graham Taylor , England surprisingly did not qualify for the tournament . In a group with six teams , England lost to Norway and the Netherlands , finishing third above Poland , Turkey and San Marino . England went into their final game with San Marino knowing they would need a seven - goal victory and for Poland to beat the Netherlands in the other match in order to qualify . In the game against San Marino , Davide Gualtieri scored against England after nine seconds , taking the lead for the outsiders . England went on to win 7 -- 1 , which was too small a goal margin . Additionally , despite the half - time score between the Poles and the Dutch being 1 - 1 , the Dutch went on to win 3 - 1 , meaning that however many goals England scored , they could still not qualify . Taylor 's tenure in charge ended and he was replaced by Terry Venables , who was dismissed after England lost the semi-final of Euro 1996 , hosted in England . France 1998 ( edit ) Main article : 1998 FIFA World Cup After missing out on the World Cup in 1994 , England , managed by Glenn Hoddle , qualified for the World Cup in France . England were drawn in Group 2 of UEFA qualifying with Italy , Poland , Georgia and Moldova . England beat Poland , Georgia and Moldova both home and away , but a home defeat to Italy in their fourth match meant they went into the final qualifier at the Stadio Olimpico in Rome just a point ahead of the Azzurri and only needing a draw to qualify automatically ; defeat would see them have to navigate a play - off to secure qualification . The match finished as a goalless draw and England finished top of the group . At the finals in France , England played in Group G. England defeated Tunisia 2 -- 0 in the first game , with goals from Alan Shearer and Paul Scholes . Their second match saw England lose 2 -- 1 to Romania ; despite an 81st - minute equaliser from Michael Owen , Dan Petrescu scored a winner shortly before injury time . In their final group game , England defeated Colombia 2 -- 0 in the decisive match , thanks to goals from midfielders Darren Anderton and David Beckham . England finished second in Group G , which saw them qualify for the last 16 phase , and play the winner of 1998 FIFA World Cup Group H , Argentina . In a fiery game containing six yellow cards and two penalties , David Beckham was controversially sent off in the 47th minute for what many felt was at most a yellow card offence , knocking over Diego Simeone . Gabriel Batistuta opened the scoring from the penalty spot in the fifth minute of the game , before an equaliser also from the spot by Alan Shearer four minutes later . England took the lead through Owen , in the 16th minute . Argentina drew level through Javier Zanetti in injury time of the first half . The game finished 2 - 2 , and , as neither team were able to find a winner in extra time , penalties were needed to decide the team that qualified to the next round . While David Seaman did save one penalty , Argentine goalkeeper Carlos Roa managed to save two , including the vital one from David Batty , thereby knocking England out of the World Cup . Beckham subsequently received death threats and was sent bullets in the post . South Korea / Japan 2002 ( edit ) Main article : 2002 FIFA World Cup In 2002 the World Cup took place in Asia for the first time . England , under its first ever foreign manager in Swedish Sven - Göran Eriksson , were able to qualify for the tournament . England were drawn in Group 9 , alongside Germany , Finland , Greece and Albania . In the last ever game in the original Wembley Stadium , ( which closed after the match ) England played Germany , losing 1 -- 0 , the only goal scored by Dietmar Hamann . The match was the last under the management of Kevin Keegan , who resigned at the end of the match , and was replaced by Eriksson . By beating Germany 5 -- 1 in Munich , England 's qualifying campaign was revitalised , and they qualified automatically , by drawing 2 -- 2 with Greece . Germany , who could only draw 0 -- 0 with Finland , had to play a play - off game against Ukraine , with England qualifying ahead winning the group . In Japan , England had to play against Eriksson 's homeland , Sweden , and both settled out for a 1 -- 1 draw . England and Beckham gained a measure of revenge for their previous 1998 defeat in defeating Argentina 1 - 0 , thanks to a Beckham penalty . However , England could only manage a disappointing 0 - 0 draw against Nigeria , meaning that although they were able to qualify for the second round , where they played Denmark , they qualified as runners up , which meant that they would meet favourites Brazil in the quarter - finals if they qualified . England played Denmark in the round of 16 defeating Denmark 3 -- 0 , thanks to goals from Micheal Owen , Rio Ferdinand , and Emile Heskey . England played four - time World Cup winners and 1998 runners - up Brazil in the quarter - finals . Despite leading through a Michael Owen goal , a mistake by David Seaman saw England lose 2 -- 1 , and Brazil won their fourth World Cup match against England , and went on to win the tournament . Germany 2006 ( edit ) Main article : 2006 FIFA World Cup England were drawn into Group 6 of European qualifying for the 2006 World Cup . The group featured other home nations in Wales , and Northern Ireland , as well as Poland ( who had eliminated England the last time the World Cup took place in Germany ) , Azerbaijan and Austria . England won eight of the 10 games , and qualified as group winners , in front of Portugal , despite drawing to Austria in Vienna , and losing to Northern Ireland in Belfast . In Germany , however , England were less convincing . England played in Group B , alongside Paraguay , Trinidad and Tobago , and Sweden . England started with a 1 -- 0 win against Paraguay ; which was won due to a 3rd minute own goal . The second game against first time qualifiers Trinidad and Tobago saw England have to wait until the 83rd minute for England to take the lead , with Peter Crouch opened the scoring with a goal many felt was illegal , and the second goal of the game coming in added time from Steven Gerrard . The last group game saw England play against Sweden , where an eventual 2 - 2 draw saw them qualify for the next round as group winners , thereby avoiding playing hosts Germany . In the last 16 stage , a free kick from David Beckham saw England win 1 -- 0 against Ecuador and reach the quarter - finals , where they faced Portugal . The game finished goalless , and England once again were knocked out on penalties and Portuguese goalkeeper Ricardo became the first goalkeeper to save three penalties in a penalty shoot - out . Ricardo saved from Frank Lampard , Steven Gerrard , and Jamie Carragher ; the only England player who successfully converted his penalty was Owen Hargreaves . Portugal won the shoot - out 3 - 1 , despite misses from Petit and Hugo Viana . This game was also Erickson 's final match as England manager . South africa 2010 ( edit ) Main article : 2010 FIFA World Cup Qualification for the first African World Cup went successfully for new England manager Fabio Capello , after previous manager Steve McClaren was unable to secure qualification to the Euro 2008 . By winning nine times and only losing to Ukraine , England qualified ahead of Croatia , Belarus , Kazakhstan and Andorra . England 's group was seen as a favourable one , containing comparatively much weaker teams . However , England opened up their campaign with a 1 -- 1 draw against the United States , thanks to a major error by goalkeeper Robert Green . They then drew 0 -- 0 against Algeria and were booed off the field by their own fans , drawing the ire of striker Wayne Rooney . England eventually qualified for the next round by beating Slovenia 1 -- 0 , but only qualified as runners up to the United States , thereby meaning they would draw favourites Germany . In the second round match , Germany took the lead after 20 minutes after goalkeeper Manuel Neuer played the ball down the pitch to Miroslav Klose , who opened the scoring . The score became 2 -- 0 to Germany after 32 minutes . Shortly after , England defender Matthew Upson scored a header . Later , Frank Lampard had a shot at goal which was disallowed despite crossing the line ; which was confirmed on replays . German goalkeeper Manuel Neuer admitted subsequently he knew the ball had crossed the line , but decided to deceive the referee . The German media reported it was `` revenge for Wembley '' , while the English media criticised FIFA 's refusal to implement goal - line technology . Ironically , despite his earlier opposition to goal - line technology , Sepp Blatter said that it should be introduced after a Ukrainian goal against England at Euro 2012 was ruled out . As England tried to equalise , Germany used this to their advantage and scored two more goals . This became Germany 's biggest win against England in a World Cup , winning 4 - 1 . Brazil 2014 ( edit ) Main article : 2014 FIFA World Cup Under Roy Hodgson , who replaced Fabio Capello after Euro 2012 after a disagreement between Capello and The FA , England qualified for the second World Cup to be held in Brazil . Ukraine were again one of the opponents in the qualifying rounds . The other opponents included Montenegro , Poland , Moldova and San Marino . After winning six games and drawing four , England qualified unbeaten . The draw for the finals saw England have to play against Italy and Uruguay , both former world champions , which meant that it was the first ever time three World Champions were drawn in the same group , along with Costa Rica . England lost to Italy and Uruguay , and were thus knocked out after two games . The final match against Costa Rica finished as a goalless draw . This performance was statistically their worst ever performance at a World Cup , ending up with just one point after two losses to Uruguay and Italy and a goalless draw with Costa Rica in the dead rubber match , their lowest points total in the group stage of a world cup . Russia 2018 ( edit ) Main article : 2018 FIFA World Cup England played in UEFA Group F in qualification for the 2018 World Cup , in a group of six with Slovakia , Slovenia , Scotland , Lithuania and Malta , with only the winner of the group guaranteed qualification . England went into the qualification process under manager Sam Allardyce , only for Allardyce to leave the post after just one game due to controversy regarding discussing breaking FIFA rules . Under Allardyce 's replacement , Gareth Southgate , England went undefeated throughout qualification , winning eight matches out of 10 , drawing with Slovenia 0 -- 0 in Ljubljana , and drawing 2 -- 2 with Scotland in Glasgow thanks to a 90th - minute equaliser from Harry Kane . This was the third successive major tournament that England were undefeated , having been undefeated in 2014 World Cup , and Euro 2016 qualifying . 2018 finals ( edit ) England national team at the 2018 World Cup in Russia Under Gareth Southgate , the England team began their tournament in group G against Tunisia . The game started well for England with a goal from Harry Kane in the 11th minute . Tunisia equalised through Sassi from the penalty spot in the 35th minute following a foul by Kyle Walker . Some controversy followed as various potential offences against Harry Kane , inside the penalty area were ignored by the referee and no VAR checks were carried out . England persevered and scored a second goal in the 91st minute , again by Harry Kane , resulting in a 2 -- 1 victory . In the second group stage match , England surpassed their record for goals scored in a World Cup match by beating Panama 6 - 1 . Jesse Lingard scored the third goal , John Stones scored the first and fourth goals and Harry Kane scored a hat - trick with the second , fifth and sixth goals . In the final group stage match , England narrowly lost 1 - 0 to Belgium . Adnan Januzaj scored the sole goal of the game ; but with both teams having fielded reserve teams , with England specificially making 9 changes . Before the game media outlets stating that a loss could potentially become beneficial , as the winner would be in the half of the draw with four of the top seven sides in the world . The result that meant Belgium topped the group and England finished second , setting up a last 16 clash with Group H winners Colombia . England played their last 16 match in the Otkritie Arena , Moscow , with the same team as against Tunisia . Harry Kane scored his sixth goal of the tournament , and the third penalty , after once again being fouled in the box from a corner , similarly as against Panama . The score remained at 1 - 0 , until stoppage time , where a header from Yerry Mina beat Jordan Pickford in goal to bring the game to extra time . Neither team managed to score in extra time , and the match went to penalties , which England won 4 - 3 . As well as being the first knockout match England had won at a major tournament since 2006 ( last defeating Ecuador in the last 16 ) ; it was the first time England won a World Cup penalty shoot - out . The match was notable for the heated atmosphere the game was played in , with a total of eight yellow cards being shown in the match . England played against Sweden in their quarter - final at Cosmos Arena , Samara on 7 July 2018 . They won the match 2 -- 0 , with defender Harry Maguire scoring his first England goal , a header scored from a corner , and Dele Alli a second header from close range . This would send them through to their third World Cup semi-final and their first since 1990 , and third overall . The team played Croatia in the semi-final , resulting in a 2 -- 1 loss after extra time . England would later finish fourth in the competition , the best result since 1990 . England would lose again to Belgium in the 3rd place playoff , thanks to goals from Thomas Meunier and Eden Hazard , despite a Eric Dier shot being cleared off the line by Toby Alderweireld . The tournament would see England score nine goals from set - pieces -- the most by a team in a single World Cup tournament since 1966 .

( July 2018 ) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message ) Four FIFA World Cup finals were officiated by English referees , more than by any other football association . The first Englishman to officiate a final , George Reader , is also the oldest World Cup referee to date , as he was 53 years and 236 days old at the 1950 decisive match between Uruguay and Brazil . The other final referees are William Ling ( 1954 ) , Jack Taylor ( 1974 ) and Howard Webb ( 2010 ) . Arthur Ellis , who was a linesman at the 1950 final , is part of an elite group of referees who has been called up for three consecutive World Cups ( 1950 -- 1958 ) .

Santa Claus
Santa Claus - wikipedia Santa Claus Jump to : navigation , search `` Santa '' redirects here . For other uses , see Santa ( disambiguation ) . This article is about the legendary character . For other uses , see Santa Claus ( disambiguation ) . 1881 illustration by Thomas Nast who , along with Clement Clarke Moore 's poem A Visit from St. Nicholas , helped to create the modern image of Santa Claus The modern portrayal of Santa Claus frequently depicts him listening to the Christmas wishes of different children . Santa Claus , also known as Saint Nicholas , Kris Kringle , Father Christmas , or simply Santa , is a legendary figure originating in Western Christian culture who is said to bring gifts to the homes of well - behaved ( `` good '' or `` nice '' ) children on Christmas Eve ( 24 December ) and the early morning hours of Christmas Day ( 25 December ) . The modern Santa Claus grew out of traditions surrounding the historical Saint Nicholas ( a fourth - century Greek bishop and gift - giver of Myra ) , the British figure of Father Christmas and the Dutch figure of Sinterklaas ( himself also based on Saint Nicholas ) . Some maintain Santa Claus also absorbed elements of the Germanic god Wodan , who was associated with the pagan midwinter event of Yule and led the Wild Hunt , a ghostly procession through the sky . Santa Claus is generally depicted as a portly , joyous , white - bearded man -- sometimes with spectacles -- wearing a red coat with white fur collar and cuffs , white - fur - cuffed red trousers , a red hat with white fur and black leather belt and boots and who carries a bag full of gifts for children . This image became popular in the United States and Canada in the 19th century due to the significant influence of the 1823 poem `` A Visit from St. Nicholas '' and of caricaturist and political cartoonist Thomas Nast . This image has been maintained and reinforced through song , radio , television , children 's books , films , and advertising . Santa Claus is said to make lists of children throughout the world , categorizing them according to their behavior ( `` good '' and `` bad '' , or `` naughty '' and `` nice '' ) and to deliver presents , including toys , and candy to all of the well - behaved children in the world , and coal to all the misbehaved children , on the single night of Christmas Eve . He accomplishes this feat with the aid of his elves , who make the toys in his workshop at the North Pole , and his flying reindeer , who pull his sleigh . He is commonly portrayed as living at the North Pole , and often laughing in a way that sounds like `` ho ho ho '' .

Nicholas was famous for his generous gifts to the poor , in particular presenting the three impoverished daughters of a pious Christian with dowries so that they would not have to become prostitutes . He was very religious from an early age and devoted his life entirely to Christianity . In continental Europe ( more precisely the Netherlands , Belgium , Austria , the Czech Republic and Germany ) he is usually portrayed as a bearded bishop in canonical robes . The remains of Saint Nicholas are in Italy . In 1087 , the Italian city of Bari mounted an expedition to locate the tomb of the Saint . The reliquary of St. Nicholas was conquered by Italian sailors and his relics were taken to Bari where they are kept to this day . A basilica was constructed the same year to store the loot and the area became a pilgrimage site for the devout . Sailors from Bari collected just half of Nicholas ' skeleton , leaving all the minor fragments in the grave . These were collected by Venetian sailors during the First Crusade and taken to Venice , where a church to St. Nicholas , the patron of sailors , was built on the San Nicolò al Lido . This tradition was confirmed in two important scientific investigations of the relics in Bari and Venice , which revealed that the relics in the two Italian cities belong to the same skeleton . Saint Nicholas was later claimed as a patron saint of many diverse groups , from archers , sailors , and children to pawnbrokers . He is also the patron saint of both Amsterdam and Moscow . During the Middle Ages , often on the evening before his name day of 6 December , children were bestowed gifts in his honour . This date was earlier than the original day of gifts for the children , which moved in the course of the Reformation and its opposition to the veneration of saints in many countries on the 24th and 25th of December . So Saint Nicholas changed to Santa Claus . The custom of gifting to children at Christmas has been propagated by Martin Luther as an alternative to the previous very popular gift custom on St. Nicholas , to focus the interest of the children to Christ instead of the veneration of saints . Martin Luther first suggested the Christkind as the bringer of gifts . But Nicholas remained popular as gifts bearer for the people . Father Christmas `` Ghost of Christmas Present '' , an illustration by John Leech made for Charles Dickens 's festive classic A Christmas Carol ( 1843 ) . Main article : Father Christmas Father Christmas dates back as far as 16th century in England during the reign of Henry VIII , when he was pictured as a large man in green or scarlet robes lined with fur . He typified the spirit of good cheer at Christmas , bringing peace , joy , good food and wine and revelry . As England no longer kept the feast day of Saint Nicholas on 6 December , the Father Christmas celebration was moved to the 25th of December to coincide with Christmas Day . The Victorian revival of Christmas included Father Christmas as the emblem of ' good cheer ' . His physical appearance was variable , with one famous image being John Leech 's illustration of the `` Ghost of Christmas Present '' in Charles Dickens 's festive classic A Christmas Carol ( 1843 ) , as a great genial man in a green coat lined with fur who takes Scrooge through the bustling streets of London on the current Christmas morning , sprinkling the essence of Christmas onto the happy populace . Dutch , belgian and Swiss folklore See also : Sinterklaas and Saint Nicholas Sinterklaas , Netherlands ( 2009 ) on his horse called Slecht Weer Vandaag or Amerigo In the Netherlands and Belgium the character of Santa Claus has to compete with that of Sinterklaas , Santa 's presumed progenitor . Santa Claus is known as de Kerstman in Dutch ( `` the Christmas man '' ) and Père Noël ( `` Father Christmas '' ) in French . But for children in the Netherlands Sinterklaas remains the predominant gift - giver in December ; 36 % of the Dutch only give presents on Sinterklaas evening or the day itself ( December 6th ) , whereas Christmas ( December 25th ) is used by another 21 % to give presents . Some 26 % of the Dutch population gives presents on both days . In Belgium , Sinterklaas day presents are offered exclusively to children , whereas on Christmas Day , all ages may receive presents . Sinterklaas ' assistants are called `` Zwarte Pieten '' ( in Dutch , `` Pères Fouettard '' in French ) , so they are not elves . In Switzerland , Pères Fouettard accompanies Père Noël in the French speaking region , while the sinister Schmutzli accompanies Samichlaus in the Swiss German region . Schmutzli carries a twig broom to spank the naughty children . Germanic paganism , Wodan , and Christianization An 1886 depiction of the long - bearded Norse god Odin by Georg von Rosen Prior to Christianization , the Germanic peoples ( including the English ) celebrated a midwinter event called Yule ( Old English geola or giuli ) . With the Christianization of Germanic Europe , numerous traditions were absorbed from Yuletide celebrations into modern Christmas . During this period , supernatural and ghostly occurrences were said to increase in frequency , such as the Wild Hunt , a ghostly procession through the sky . The leader of the wild hunt is frequently attested as the god Wodan ( Norse Odin ) , bearing ( among many names ) the names Jólnir , meaning `` Yule figure '' , and Langbarðr , meaning `` long - beard '' , in Old Norse . Wodan 's role during the Yuletide period has been theorized as having influenced concepts of St. Nicholas in a variety of facets , including his long white beard and his gray horse for nightly rides ( compare Odin 's horse Sleipnir ) or his reindeer in North American tradition . Folklorist Margaret Baker maintains that `` the appearance of Santa Claus or Father Christmas , whose day is the 25th of December , owes much to Odin , the old blue - hooded , cloaked , white - bearded Giftbringer of the north , who rode the midwinter sky on his eight - footed steed Sleipnir , visiting his people with gifts . ( ... ) Odin , transformed into Father Christmas , then Santa Claus , prospered with St Nicholas and the Christchild , became a leading player on the Christmas stage . '' In Finland they still use Joulupukki or the Christmas Goat . History Origins Pre-modern representations of the gift - giver from Church history and folklore , notably St Nicholas ( known in Dutch as Sinterklaas ) , merged with the English character Father Christmas to create the character known to Americans and the rest of the English - speaking world as `` Santa Claus '' ( a phonetic derivation of `` Sinterklaas '' ) . In the English and later British colonies of North America , and later in the United States , British and Dutch versions of the gift - giver merged further . For example , in Washington Irving 's History of New York ( 1809 ) , Sinterklaas was Americanized into `` Santa Claus '' ( a name first used in the American press in 1773 ) but lost his bishop 's apparel , and was at first pictured as a thick - bellied Dutch sailor with a pipe in a green winter coat . Irving 's book was a lampoon of the Dutch culture of New York , and much of this portrait is his joking invention . 19th century Illustration to verse 1 of Old Santeclaus with Much Delight 1850 illustration of Saint Nicolas with his servant Père Fouettard / Zwarte Piet `` December 24 , 1864 . This has usually been a very busy day with me , preparing for Christmas not only for my own tables , but for gifts for my servants . Now how changed ! No confectionary , cakes , or pies can I have . We are all sad ; no loud , jovial laugh from our boys is heard . Christmas Eve , which has ever been gaily celebrated here , which has witnessed the popping of firecrackers ... and the hanging up of stockings , is an occasion now of sadness and gloom . I have nothing even to put in 8 - year - old daughter Sadai 's stocking , which hangs so invitingly for Santa Claus . How disappointed she will be in the morning , though I have explained to her why he can not come . Poor children ! Why must the innocent suffer with the guilty ? '' Diary of Dolly Lunt Burge , a Maine native , widow of Thomas Burge , and resident living c. 40 miles southeast of Atlanta near Covington , Georgia . This entry from Mrs. Burge 's diary was five weeks after most of General T. Sherman 's U.S. Army forces had passed on their blackened - earth `` march across Georgia '' toward Savanna , after the army 's destruction of Atlanta in mid-November 1864 . U.S. Army mop - up companies and stragglers during those intervening weeks continued to `` forage '' , loot , burn , and liberate slaves , hence , the concern of Mrs. Burge and her household . In 1821 , the book A New - year 's present , to the little ones from five to twelve was published in New York . It contained Old Santeclaus with Much Delight , an anonymous poem describing Santeclaus on a reindeer sleigh , bringing presents to children . Some modern ideas of Santa Claus seemingly became canon after the anonymous publication of the poem `` A Visit From St. Nicholas '' ( better known today as `` The Night Before Christmas '' ) in the Troy , New York , Sentinel on 23 December 1823 ; Clement Clarke Moore later claimed authorship , though some scholars argue that Henry Livingston , Jr. ( who died nine years before Moore 's claim ) was the author . St. Nick is described as being `` chubby and plump , a right jolly old elf '' with `` a little round belly '' , that `` shook when he laughed like a bowlful of jelly '' , in spite of which the `` miniature sleigh '' and `` tiny reindeer '' still indicate that he is physically diminutive . The reindeer were also named : Dasher , Dancer , Prancer , Vixen , Comet , Cupid , Dunder and Blixem ( Dunder and Blixem came from the old Dutch words for thunder and lightning , which were later changed to the more German sounding Donner and Blitzen ) . By 1845 ' Kris Kringle ' was a common variant of Santa in parts of the U.S. A magazine article from 1853 , describing American Christmas customs to British readers , refers to children hanging up their stockings on Christmas Eve for ' a fabulous personage ' whose name varies : in Pennsylvania he is usually called ' Krishkinkle ' but in New York he is ' St. Nicholas ' or ' Santa Claus ' . The author quotes Moore 's poem in its entirety , saying that its descriptions apply to Krishkinkle too . As the years passed , Santa Claus evolved in popular culture into a large , heavyset person . One of the first artists to define Santa Claus 's modern image was Thomas Nast , an American cartoonist of the 19th century . In 1863 , a picture of Santa illustrated by Nast appeared in Harper 's Weekly . Thomas Nast immortalized Santa Claus with an illustration for the 3 January 1863 issue of Harper 's Weekly . Santa was dressed in an American flag , and had a puppet with the name `` Jeff '' written on it , reflecting its Civil War context . The story that Santa Claus lives at the North Pole may also have been a Nast creation . His Christmas image in the Harper 's issue dated 29 December 1866 was a collage of engravings titled Santa Claus and His Works , which included the caption `` Santa Claussville , N.P. '' A color collection of Nast 's pictures , published in 1869 , had a poem also titled `` Santa Claus and His Works '' by George P. Webster , who wrote that Santa Claus 's home was `` near the North Pole , in the ice and snow '' . The tale had become well known by the 1870s . A boy from Colorado writing to the children 's magazine The Nursery in late 1874 said , `` If we did not live so very far from the North Pole , I should ask Santa Claus to bring me a donkey . '' The idea of a wife for Santa Claus may have been the creation of American authors , beginning in the mid-19th century . In 1889 , the poet Katharine Lee Bates popularized Mrs. Claus in the poem `` Goody Santa Claus on a Sleigh Ride '' . `` Is There a Santa Claus ? '' was the title of an editorial appearing in the 21 September 1897 edition of The New York Sun . The editorial , which included the famous reply `` Yes , Virginia , there is a Santa Claus '' , has become an indelible part of popular Christmas lore in the United States and Canada . 20th century L. Frank Baum 's The Life and Adventures of Santa Claus , a 1902 children 's book , further popularized Santa Claus . Much of Santa Claus 's mythos was not set in stone at the time , leaving Baum to give his `` Neclaus '' ( Necile 's Little One ) a wide variety of immortal support , a home in the Laughing Valley of Hohaho , and ten reindeer -- who could not fly , but leapt in enormous , flight - like bounds . Claus 's immortality was earned , much like his title ( `` Santa '' ) , decided by a vote of those naturally immortal . This work also established Claus 's motives : a happy childhood among immortals . When Ak , Master Woodsman of the World , exposes him to the misery and poverty of children in the outside world , Santa strives to find a way to bring joy into the lives of all children , and eventually invents toys as a principal means . Santa later appears in The Road to Oz as a honored guest at Ozma 's birthday party , stated to be famous and beloved enough for everyone to bow even before he is announced as `` The most Mighty and Loyal Friend of Children , His Supreme Highness - Santa Claus '' . Images of Santa Claus were further popularized through Haddon Sundblom 's depiction of him for The Coca - Cola Company 's Christmas advertising in the 1930s . The popularity of the image spawned urban legends that Santa Claus was invented by The Coca - Cola Company or that Santa wears red and white because they are the colors used to promote the Coca - Cola brand . Historically , Coca - Cola was not the first soft drink company to utilize the modern image of Santa Claus in its advertising -- White Rock Beverages had already used a red and white Santa to sell mineral water in 1915 and then in advertisements for its ginger ale in 1923 . Earlier still , Santa Claus had appeared dressed in red and white and essentially in his current form on several covers of Puck magazine in the first few years of the 20th century . A man dressed as Santa Claus fundraising for Volunteers of America on the sidewalk of street in Chicago , Illinois , in 1902 . He is wearing a mask with a beard attached . The image of Santa Claus as a benevolent character became reinforced with its association with charity and philanthropy , particularly by organizations such as the Salvation Army . Volunteers dressed as Santa Claus typically became part of fundraising drives to aid needy families at Christmas time . In 1937 , Charles W. Howard , who played Santa Claus in department stores and parades , established the Charles W. Howard Santa School , the oldest continuously - run such school in the world . In some images from the early 20th century , Santa was depicted as personally making his toys by hand in a small workshop like a craftsman . Eventually , the idea emerged that he had numerous elves responsible for making the toys , but the toys were still handmade by each individual elf working in the traditional manner . The 1956 popular song by George Melachrino , `` Mrs. Santa Claus '' , and the 1963 children 's book How Mrs. Santa Claus Saved Christmas , by Phyllis McGinley , helped standardize and establish the character and role of Mrs. Claus in the popular imagination . Seabury Quinn 's 1948 novel Roads draws from historical legends to tell the story of Santa and the origins of Christmas . Other modern additions to the `` story '' of Santa include Rudolph the Red - Nosed Reindeer , the 9th and lead reindeer immortalized in a Gene Autry song , written by a Montgomery Ward copywriter . In popular culture See also : SantaCon By the end of the 20th century , the reality of mass mechanized production became more fully accepted by the Western public . Elves had been portrayed as using assembly lines to produce toys early in the 20th century . That shift was reflected in the modern depiction of Santa 's residence -- now often humorously portrayed as a fully mechanized production and distribution facility , equipped with the latest manufacturing technology , and overseen by the elves with Santa and Mrs. Claus as executives and / or managers . An excerpt from a 2004 article , from a supply chain managers ' trade magazine , aptly illustrates this depiction : Santa 's main distribution center is a sight to behold . At 4,000,000 square feet ( 370,000 m ) , it 's one of the world 's largest facilities . A real - time warehouse management system ( WMS ) is of course required to run such a complex . The facility makes extensive use of task interleaving , literally combining dozens of DC activities ( putaway , replenishing , order picking , sleigh loading , cycle counting ) in a dynamic queue ... the DC elves have been on engineered standards and incentives for three years , leading to a 12 % gain in productivity ... The WMS and transportation system are fully integrated , allowing ( the elves ) to make optimal decisions that balance transportation and order picking and other DC costs . Unbeknownst to many , Santa actually has to use many sleighs and fake Santa drivers to get the job done Christmas Eve , and the transportation management system ( TMS ) optimally builds thousands of consolidated sacks that maximize cube utilization and minimize total air miles . In the cartoon base , Santa has been voiced by several people , including Stan Francis , Mickey Rooney , Ed Asner , John Goodman , and Keith Wickham . Santa has been described as a positive male cultural icon : Santa is really the only cultural icon we have who 's male , does not carry a gun , and is all about peace , joy , giving , and caring for other people . That 's part of the magic for me , especially in a culture where we 've become so commercialized and hooked into manufactured icons . Santa is much more organic , integral , connected to the past , and therefore connected to the future . -- TV producer Jonathan Meath who portrays Santa , 2011 Many television commercials , comic strips and other media depict this as a sort of humorous business , with Santa 's elves acting as a sometimes mischievously disgruntled workforce , cracking jokes and pulling pranks on their boss . For instance , a Bloom County story from 15 December 1981 through 24 December 1981 has Santa rejecting the demands of PETCO ( Professional Elves Toy - Making and Craft Organization ) for higher wages , a hot tub in the locker room , and `` short broads , '' with the elves then going on strike . President Reagan steps in , fires all of Santa 's helpers , and replaces them with out - of - work air traffic controllers ( an obvious reference to the 1981 air traffic controllers ' strike ) , resulting in a riot before Santa vindictively rehires them in humiliating new positions such as his reindeer . In The Sopranos episode , `` ... To Save Us All from Satan 's Power '' , Paulie Gualtieri says he `` Used to think Santa and Mrs. Claus were running a sweatshop over there ... The original elves were ugly , traveled with Santa to throw bad kids a beatin ' , and gave the good ones toys . '' 2009 Liverpool Santa Dash In Kyrgyzstan , a mountain peak was named after Santa Claus , after a Swedish company had suggested the location be a more efficient starting place for present - delivering journeys all over the world , than Lapland . In the Kyrgyz capital , Bishkek , a Santa Claus Festival was held on 30 December 2007 , with government officials attending . 2008 was officially declared the Year of Santa Claus in the country . The events are seen as moves to boost tourism in Kyrgyzstan . The Guinness World Record for the largest gathering of Santa Clauses is held by Thrissur , Kerala , India where on 27 December 2014 , 18,112 Santas came overtaking the current record of Derry City , Northern Ireland . On 9 September 2007 where a total of 12,965 people dressed up as Santa or Santa 's helper which previously brought down the record of 3,921 , which was set during the Santa Dash event in Liverpool City Centre in 2005 . A gathering of Santas in 2009 in Bucharest , Romania attempted to top the world record , but failed with only 3,939 Santas . Traditions and rituals Chimney tradition Steen 's The Feast of Saint Nicholas The tradition of Santa Claus entering dwellings through the chimney is shared by many European seasonal gift - givers . In pre-Christian Norse tradition , Odin would often enter through chimneys and fire holes on the solstice . In the Italian Befana tradition , the gift - giving witch is perpetually covered with soot from her trips down the chimneys of children 's homes . In the tale of Saint Nicholas , the saint tossed coins through a window , and , in a later version of the tale , down a chimney when he finds the window locked . In Dutch artist Jan Steen 's painting , The Feast of Saint Nicholas , adults and toddlers are glancing up a chimney with amazement on their faces while other children play with their toys . The hearth was held sacred in primitive belief as a source of beneficence , and popular belief had elves and fairies bringing gifts to the house through this portal . Santa 's entrance into homes on Christmas Eve via the chimney was made part of American tradition through the poem `` A Visit from St. Nicholas '' where the author described him as an elf . Christmas Eve rituals Santa Claus waves to children from an annual holiday train in Chicago . In the United States and Canada , children traditionally leave Santa a glass of milk and a plate of cookies ; in Britain and Australia , he is sometimes given sherry or beer , and mince pies instead . In Denmark , Norway and Sweden , it is common for children to leave him rice porridge with cinnamon sugar instead . In Ireland it is popular to give him Guinness or milk , along with Christmas pudding or mince pies . In Hungary , St. Nicolaus ( Mikulás ) comes on the night of 5 December and the children get their gifts the next morning . They get sweets in a bag if they were good , and a golden colored birch switch if not . On Christmas Eve `` Little Jesus '' comes and gives gifts for everyone . In Slovenia , Saint Nicholas ( Miklavž ) also brings small gifts for good children on the eve of 6 December . Božiček ( Christmas Man ) brings gifts on the eve of 25 December , and Dedek Mraz ( Grandfather Frost ) brings gifts in the evening of 31 December to be opened on New Years Day . Hanging up stockings for Santa Claus , Ohio , 1928 New Zealander , British , Australian , Irish , Canadian , and American children also leave a carrot for Santa 's reindeer , and are told that if they are not good all year round that they will receive a lump of coal in their stockings , although the actual practice of giving coal is now considered archaic . Children following the Dutch custom for sinterklaas will `` put out their shoe '' ( leave hay and a carrot for his horse in a shoe before going to bed , sometimes weeks before the sinterklaas avond ) . The next morning they will find the hay and carrot replaced by a gift ; often , this is a marzipan figurine . Naughty children were once told that they would be left a roe ( a bundle of sticks ) instead of sweets , but this practice has been discontinued . Other Christmas Eve Santa Claus rituals in the United States include reading A Visit from St. Nicholas or other tale about Santa Claus , watching a Santa or Christmas - related animated program on television ( such as the aforementioned Santa Claus Is Comin ' to Town and similar specials , such as Rudolph the Red - Nosed Reindeer , among many others ) , and the singing of Santa Claus songs such as `` Santa Claus Is Coming to Town '' , `` Here Comes Santa Claus '' , and `` Up on the House Top '' . Last minute rituals for children before going to bed include aligning stockings at the mantelpiece or other place where Santa can not fail to see them , peeking up the chimney ( in homes with a fireplace ) , glancing out a window and scanning the heavens for Santa 's sleigh , and ( in homes without a fireplace ) unlocking an exterior door so Santa can easily enter the house . Tags on gifts for children are sometimes signed by their parents `` From Santa Claus '' before the gifts are laid beneath the tree . A classic American image of Santa Claus . Ho , ho , ho Ho ho ho is the way that many languages write out how Santa Claus laughs . `` Ho , ho , ho ! Merry Christmas ! '' It is the textual rendition of a particular type of deep - throated laugh or chuckle , most associated today with Santa Claus and Father Christmas . The laughter of Santa Claus has long been an important attribute by which the character is identified , but it also does not appear in many non-English - speaking countries . The traditional Christmas poem A Visit from St. Nicholas relates that Santa has : ... a little round belly That shook when he laugh 'd , like a bowl full of jelly Home See also : Santa 's workshop § Location of Santa 's Workshop Santa Claus 's home traditionally includes a residence and a workshop where he creates -- often with the aid of elves or other supernatural beings -- the gifts he delivers to good children at Christmas . Some stories and legends include a village , inhabited by his helpers , surrounding his home and shop . In North American tradition ( in the United States and Canada ) , Santa lives on the North Pole , which according to Canada Post lies within Canadian jurisdiction in postal code H0H 0H0 ( a reference to `` ho ho ho '' , Santa 's notable saying , although postal codes starting with H are usually reserved for the island of Montreal in Québec ) . On 23 December 2008 , Jason Kenney , Canada 's minister of Citizenship , Immigration and Multiculturalism , formally awarded Canadian citizenship status to Santa Claus . `` The Government of Canada wishes Santa the very best in his Christmas Eve duties and wants to let him know that , as a Canadian citizen , he has the automatic right to re-enter Canada once his trip around the world is complete , '' Kenney said in an official statement . There is also a city named North Pole in Alaska where a tourist attraction known as the `` Santa Claus House '' has been established . The United States Postal Service uses the city 's ZIP code of 99705 as their advertised postal code for Santa Claus . A Wendy 's in North Pole , AK has also claimed to have a `` sleigh fly through '' . Each Nordic country claims Santa 's residence to be within their territory . Norway claims he lives in Drøbak . In Denmark , he is said to live in Greenland ( near Uummannaq ) . In Sweden , the town of Mora has a theme park named Tomteland . The national postal terminal in Tomteboda in Stockholm receives children 's letters for Santa . In Finland , Korvatunturi has long been known as Santa 's home , and two theme parks , Santa Claus Village and Santa Park are located near Rovaniemi . In Belarus there is a home of Ded Moroz in Belovezhskaya Pushcha National Park .

( December 2016 ) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message ) Eaton 's Santa Claus Parade , 1918 , Toronto , Canada . Having arrived at the Eaton 's department store , Santa is readying his ladder to climb up onto the building . Giant Santa Claus , Philippines Santa Claus appears in the weeks before Christmas in department stores or shopping malls , or at parties . The practice of this has been credited to James Edgar , as he started doing this in 1890 in his Brockton , Massachusetts department store . He is played by an actor , usually helped by other actors ( often mall employees ) dressed as elves or other creatures of folklore associated with Santa . Santa 's function is either to promote the store 's image by distributing small gifts to children , or to provide a seasonal experience to children by listening to their wishlist while having them sit on his knee ( a practice now under review by some organisations in Britain , and Switzerland ) . Sometimes a photograph of the child and Santa are taken . Having a Santa set up to take pictures with children is a ritual that dates back at least to 1918 . The area set up for this purpose is festively decorated , usually with a large throne , and is called variously `` Santa 's Grotto '' , `` Santa 's Workshop '' or a similar term . In the United States , the most notable of these is the Santa at the flagship Macy 's store in New York City -- he arrives at the store by sleigh in the Macy 's Thanksgiving Day Parade on the last float , and his court takes over a large portion of one floor in the store . The Macy 's Santa Claus in New York City is often said to be the real Santa . This was popularized by the 1947 film Miracle on 34th Street with Santa Claus being called Kris Kringle . Essayist David Sedaris is known for the satirical SantaLand Diaries he kept while working as an elf in the Macy 's display , which were turned into a famous radio segment and later published . Quite often the Santa , if and when he is detected to be fake , explains that he is not the real Santa and is helping him at this time of year . Most young children accept this explanation . At family parties , Santa is sometimes impersonated by the male head of the household or other adult male family member . In Canada , malls operated by Oxford Properties established a process by which autistic children could visit Santa Claus at the mall without having to contend with crowds . The malls open early to allow entry only to families with autistic children , who have a private visit with Santa Claus . In 2012 , the Southcentre Mall in Calgary was the first mall to offer this service . Santa Claus portrayed by children 's television producer Jonathan Meath There are schools offering instruction on how to act as Santa Claus . For example , children 's television producer Jonathan Meath studied at the International School of Santa Claus and earned the degree Master of Santa Claus in 2006 . It blossomed into a second career for him , and after appearing in parades and malls , he appeared on the cover of the American monthly Boston Magazine as Santa . There are associations with members who portray Santa ; for example , Mr. Meath was a board member of the international organization called Fraternal Order of Real Bearded Santas . Letter writing to Santa `` Letters to Santa '' redirects here . For the Muppet television film , see A Muppets Christmas : Letters to Santa . For the Polish film , see Letters to Santa ( film ) . Writing letters to Santa Claus has been a Christmas tradition for children for many years . These letters normally contain a wishlist of toys and assertions of good behavior . Some social scientists have found that boys and girls write different types of letters . Girls generally write longer but more polite lists and express the nature of Christmas more in their letters than in letters written by boys . Girls also more often request gifts for other people . Many postal services allow children to send letters to Santa Claus . These letters may be answered by postal workers and / or outside volunteers . Writing letters to Santa Claus has the educational benefits of promoting literacy , computer literacy , and e-mail literacy . A letter to Santa is often a child 's first experience of correspondence . Written and sent with the help of a parent or teacher , children learn about the structure of a letter , salutations , and the use of an address and postcode . According to the Universal Postal Union ( UPU ) 's 2007 study and survey of national postal operations , the United States Postal Service ( USPS ) has the oldest Santa letter answering effort by a national postal system . The USPS Santa letter answering effort started in 1912 out of the historic James Farley Post Office in New York , and since 1940 has been called `` Operation Santa '' to ensure that letters to Santa are adopted by charitable organizations , major corporations , local businesses and individuals in order to make children 's holiday dreams come true from coast to coast . Those seeking a North Pole holiday postmark through the USPS , are told to send their letter from Santa or a holiday greeting card by 10 December to : North Pole Holiday Postmark , Postmaster , 4141 Postmark Dr , Anchorage , AK 99530 - 9998 . In 2006 , according to the UPU 's 2007 study and survey of national postal operations , France 's Postal Service received the most letters for Santa Claus or `` Père Noël '' with 1,220,000 letters received from 126 countries . France 's Postal Service in 2007 specially recruited someone to answer the enormous volume of mail that was coming from Russia for Santa Claus . Other interesting Santa letter processing information , according to the UPU 's 2007 study and survey of national postal operations , are : Countries whose national postal operators answer letters to Santa and other end - of - year holiday figures , and the number of letters received in 2006 : Germany ( 500,000 ) , Australia ( 117,000 ) , Austria ( 6,000 ) , Bulgaria ( 500 ) , Canada ( 1,060,000 ) , Spain ( 232,000 ) , United States ( no figure , as statistics are not kept centrally ) , Finland ( 750,000 ) , France ( 1,220,000 ) , Ireland ( 100,000 ) , New Zealand ( 110,000 ) , Portugal ( 255,000 ) , Poland ( 3,000 ) , Slovakia ( 85,000 ) , Sweden ( 150,000 ) , Switzerland ( 17,863 ) , Ukraine ( 5,019 ) , United Kingdom ( 750,000 ) . In 2006 , Finland 's national postal operation received letters from 150 countries ( representing 90 % of the letters received ) , France 's Postal Service from 126 countries , Germany from 80 countries , and Slovakia from 20 countries . In 2007 , Canada Post replied to letters in 26 languages and Deutsche Post in 16 languages . Some national postal operators make it possible to send in e-mail messages which are answered by physical mail . All the same , Santa still receives far more letters than e-mail through the national postal operators , proving that children still write letters . National postal operators offering the ability to use an on - line web form ( with or without a return e-mail address ) to Santa and obtain a reply include Canada Post ( on - line web request form in English and French ) , France 's Postal Service ( on - line web request form in French ) , and New Zealand Post ( on - line web request form in English ) . In France , by 6 December 2010 , a team of 60 postal elves had sent out reply cards in response to 80,000 e-mail on - line request forms and more than 500,000 physical letters . Canada Post has a special postal code for letters to Santa Claus , and since 1982 over 13,000 Canadian postal workers have volunteered to write responses . His address is : Santa Claus , North Pole , Canada , H0H 0H0 ; no postage is required . ( see also : Ho ho ho ) . ( This postal code , in which zeroes are used for the letter `` O '' , is consistent with the alternating letter - number format of all Canadian postal codes . ) Sometimes children 's charities answer letters in poor communities , or from children 's hospitals , and give them presents they would not otherwise receive . From 2002 to 2014 , the program replied to approximately `` one million letters or more a year , and in total answered more than 24.7 million letters '' ; as of 2015 , it responds to more than 1.5 million letters per year , `` in over 30 languages , including Braille ... answer ( ing ) them all in the language they are written '' . In Britain it was traditional for some to burn the Christmas letters on the fire so that they would be magically transported by the wind to the North Pole . However this has been found to be less efficient than the use of the normal postal service , and this tradition is dying out in modern times , especially with few homes having open fires . According to the Royal Mail website , Santa 's address for letters from British children is : Santa / Father Christmas , Santa 's Grotto , Reindeerland , XM4 5HQ In Mexico and other Latin American countries , besides using the mail , sometimes children wrap their letters to a small helium balloon , releasing them into the air so Santa magically receives them . In 2010 , the Brazilian National Post Service , `` Correios '' formed partnerships with public schools and social institutions to encourage children to write letters and make use of postcodes and stamps . In 2009 , the Brazilian National Post Service , `` Correios '' answered almost two million children 's letters , and spread some seasonal cheer by donating 414,000 Christmas gifts to some of Brazil 's neediest citizens . Through the years , the Finnish Santa Claus ( Joulupukki or `` Yule Goat '' ) has received over eight million letters . He receives over 600,000 letters every year from over 198 different countries with Togo being the most recent country added to the list . Children from Great Britain , Poland and Japan are the busiest writers . The Finnish Santa Claus lives in Korvatunturi , however the Santa Claus Main Post Office is situated in Rovaniemi precisely at the Arctic circle . His address is : Santa Claus ' Main Post Office , Santa Claus Village , FIN - 96930 Arctic Circle . The post office welcomes 300,000 visitors a year , with 70,000 visitors in December alone . Children can also receive a letter from Santa through a variety of private agencies and organizations , and on occasion public and private cooperative ventures . An example of a public and private cooperative venture is the opportunity for expatriate and local children and parents to receive postmarked mail and greeting cards from Santa during December in the Finnish Embassy in Beijing , People 's Republic of China , Santa Claus Village in Rovaniemi , Finland , and the People 's Republic of China Postal System 's Beijing International Post Office . Parents can order a personalized `` Santa letter '' to be sent to their child , often with a North Pole postmark . The `` Santa Letter '' market generally relies on the internet as a medium for ordering such letters rather than retail stores . Santa tracking , Santa websites and e-mail to and from Santa The Christmas issue of NOAA 's Weather Bureau Topics with `` Santa Claus '' streaking across a weather radar screen , 1958 Over the years there have been a number of websites created by various organizations that have purported to track Santa Claus . Some , such as NORAD Tracks Santa , the Airservices Australia Tracks Santa Project , the Santa Update Project , and the MSNBC and Bing Maps Platform Tracks Santa Project have endured . Others , such as the Dallas / Fort Worth International Airport 's Tracks Santa Project , the Santa Retro Radar -- Lehigh Valley Project , and the NASA Tracks Santa Project , have fallen by the wayside . 1955 Sears ad with the misprinted telephone number that led to the creation of the NORAD Tracks Santa program The origins of the NORAD Tracks Santa programme began in the United States in 1955 , when a Sears Roebuck store in Colorado Springs , Colorado , gave children a number to call a `` Santa hotline '' . The number was mistyped , resulting in children calling the Continental Air Defense Command ( CONAD ) on Christmas Eve instead . The Director of Operations , Colonel Harry Shoup , received the first call for Santa and responded by telling children that there were signs on the radar that Santa was indeed heading south from the North Pole . A tradition began which continued under the name NORAD Tracks Santa when in 1958 Canada and the United States jointly created the North American Air Defense Command ( NORAD ) . This tracking can now be done via the Internet and NORAD 's website . In the past , many local television stations in the United States and Canada likewise claimed they `` tracked Santa Claus '' in their own metropolitan areas through the stations ' meteorologists . In December 2000 , the Weather Channel built upon these local efforts to provide a national Christmas Eve `` Santa tracking '' effort , called `` SantaWatch '' in cooperation with NASA , the International Space Station , and Silicon Valley - based new multimedia firm Dreamtime Holdings . In the 21st century , most local television stations in the United States and Canada rely upon outside established `` Santa tracking '' efforts , such as NORAD Tracks Santa . Many other websites became available year - round , devoted to Santa Claus and purport to keep tabs on his activities in his workshop . Many of these websites also include email addresses which allow children to send email to Santa Claus . Most of these websites use volunteer living people as `` elves '' to answer email sent to Santa . Some websites , such as Santa 's page on Microsoft 's Windows Live Spaces , however have used or still use `` bots '' to compose and send email replies , with occasional unfortunate results . The Santa Claus Museum in Columbus , Texas In addition to providing holiday - themed entertainment , `` Santa tracking '' websites raise interest in space technology and exploration , serve to educate children in geography . and encourage them to take an interest in science . Criticism See also : Christmas controversy Calvinist and Puritan opposition Santa Claus has partial Christian roots in Saint Nicholas , particularly in the high church denominations that practice the veneration of him , in addition to other saints . In light of this , the character has sometimes been the focus of controversy over the holiday and its meanings . Some Christians , particularly Calvinists and Puritans , disliked the idea of Santa Claus , as well as Christmas in general , believing that the lavish celebrations were not in accordance with their faith . Other nonconformist Christians condemn the materialist focus of contemporary gift giving and see Santa Claus as the symbol of that culture . Condemnation of Christmas was prevalent among the 17th - century English Puritans and Dutch Calvinists who banned the holiday as either pagan or Roman Catholic . The American colonies established by these groups reflected this view . Tolerance for Christmas increased after the Restoration but the Puritan opposition to the holiday persisted in New England for almost two centuries . In the Dutch New Netherland colony , season celebrations focused on New Year 's Day . Excerpt from Josiah King 's The Examination and Tryal of Father Christmas ( 1686 ) , published shortly after Christmas was reinstated as a holy day in England ; Folger Shakespeare Library , Washington , D.C. Following the Restoration of the monarchy and with Puritans out of power in England , the ban on Christmas was satirized in works such as Josiah King 's The Examination and Tryal of Old Father Christmas ; Together with his Clearing by the Jury ( 1686 ) . Reverend Paul Nedergaard , a clergyman in Copenhagen , Denmark , attracted controversy in 1958 when he declared Santa to be a `` pagan goblin '' ( translated from Danish ) after Santa 's image was used on fundraising materials for a Danish welfare organization Clar , 337 . A number of denominations of Christians have varying concerns about Santa Claus , which range from acceptance to denouncement . Mary Baker Eddy , the founder of the Christian Science movement , wrote : `` the children should not be taught that Santa Claus has aught to do with this ( Christmas ) pastime . A deceit or falsehood is never wise . Too much can not be done towards guarding and guiding well the germinating and inclining thought of childhood . To mould aright the first impressions of innocence , aids in perpetuating purity and in unfolding the immortal model , man in His image and likeness . '' Opposition under state atheism Under the Marxist -- Leninist doctrine of state atheism in the Soviet Union after its foundation in 1917 , Christmas celebrations -- along with other religious holidays -- were prohibited as a result of the Soviet antireligious campaign . The League of Militant Atheists encouraged school pupils to campaign against Christmas traditions , among them being Santa Claus and the Christmas tree , as well as other Christian holidays including Easter ; the League established an antireligious holiday to be the 31st of each month as a replacement . Symbol of commercialism In his book Nicholas : The Epic Journey from Saint to Santa Claus , writer Jeremy Seal describes how the commercialization of the Santa Claus figure began in the 19th century . `` In the 1820s he began to acquire the recognizable trappings : reindeer , sleigh , bells , '' said Seal in an interview . `` They are simply the actual bearings in the world from which he emerged . At that time , sleighs were how you got about Manhattan . '' Writing in Mothering , writer Carol Jean - Swanson makes similar points , noting that the original figure of St. Nicholas gave only to those who were needy and that today Santa Claus seems to be more about conspicuous consumption : Our jolly old Saint Nicholas reflects our culture to a T , for he is fanciful , exuberant , bountiful , over-weight , and highly commercial . He also mirrors some of our highest ideals : childhood purity and innocence , selfless giving , unfaltering love , justice , and mercy . ( What child has ever received a coal for Christmas ? ) The problem is that , in the process , he has become burdened with some of society 's greatest challenges : materialism , corporate greed , and domination by the media . Here , Santa carries more in his baggage than toys alone ! In the Czech Republic , a group of advertising professionals started a website against Santa Claus , a relatively recent phenomenon in that country . `` Czech Christmases are intimate and magical . All that Santa stuff seems to me like cheap show business , '' said David König of the Creative Copywriters Club , pointing out that it is primarily an American and British tradition . `` I 'm not against Santa himself . I 'm against Santa in my country only . '' In the Czech tradition , presents are delivered by Ježíšek , which translates as Baby Jesus . In the United Kingdom , Father Christmas was historically depicted wearing a green cloak . As Father Christmas has been increasingly merged into the image of Santa Claus , that has been changed to the more commonly known red suit . One school in the seaside town of Brighton banned the use of a red suit erroneously believing it was only indicative of the Coca - Cola advertising campaign . School spokesman Sarah James said : `` The red - suited Santa was created as a marketing tool by Coca - Cola , it is a symbol of commercialism . '' However , Santa had been portrayed in a red suit in the 19th century by Thomas Nast among others . A law in the U.S. state of Ohio prohibits the usage of Santa Claus or his image to sell alcoholic beverages . The law came to attention when the beer brand Bud Light attempted to use its mascot Spuds MacKenzie in a Santa Claus outfit during a December 1987 ad campaign ; Bud Light was forced to stop using the imagery . Controversy about deceiving children See also : Paternalistic deception Various psychologists and researchers have wrestled with the ways that parents collude to convince young children of the existence of Santa Claus , and have wondered whether children 's abilities to critically weigh real - world evidence may be undermined by their belief in this or other imaginary figures . For example , University of Texas psychology professor Jacqueline Woolley helped conduct a study that found , to the contrary , that children seemed competent in their use of logic , evidence , and comparative reasoning even though they might conclude that Santa Claus or other fanciful creatures were real : The adults they count on to provide reliable information about the world introduce them to Santa . Then his existence is affirmed by friends , books , TV and movies . It is also validated by hard evidence : the half - eaten cookies and empty milk glasses by the tree on Christmas morning . In other words , children do a great job of scientifically evaluating Santa . And adults do a great job of duping them . -- Jacqueline Wooley Woolley posited that it is perhaps `` kinship with the adult world '' that causes children not to be angry that they were lied to for so long . However , the criticism about this deception is not that it is a simple lie , but a complicated series of very large lies . Objections include that it is unethical for parents to lie to children without good cause , and that it discourages healthy skepticism in children . With no greater good at the heart of the lie , some have charged that it is more about the parents than it is about the children . For instance , writer Austin Cline posed the question : `` Is it not possible that kids would find at least as much pleasure in knowing that parents are responsible for Christmas , not a supernatural stranger ? '' Others , however , see no harm in the belief in Santa Claus . Psychologist Tamar Murachver said that because it is a cultural , not parental , lie , it does not undermine parental trust . The New Zealand Skeptics also see no harm in parents telling their children that Santa is real . Spokesperson Vicki Hyde said , `` It would be a hard - hearted parent indeed who frowned upon the innocent joys of our children 's cultural heritage . We save our bah humbugs for the things that exploit the vulnerable . '' Dr. John Condry of Cornell University interviewed more than 500 children for a study of the issue and found that not a single child was angry at his or her parents for telling them Santa Claus was real . According to Dr. Condry , `` The most common response to finding out the truth was that they felt older and more mature . They now knew something that the younger kids did not '' .

According to a piece published by the School of Russian and Asia Studies : In 1925 , Christmas was effectively banned under the officially atheist Soviets , and was not to return to Russian lands until 1992 . The New Year celebration usurped the traditions of a Christmas Tree ( Ёлка ) , Santa ( known in Russian as `` Дед Mopoз '' or `` Grandfather Frost '' ) , and presents . In the Russian tradition , Grandfather Frost 's granddaughter , the Snow Maiden ( Снегурочка ) , always accompanies him to help distribute the gifts . Elves are not associated with the holiday . The state prohibited people from selling Christmas trees . There were even festivals , organized by the League of Militant Atheists , specifically to denigrate religious holidays . Their carnivals were inspired by similar events staged by activists after the French Revolution . From 1923 to 1924 and then again from 1929 to 1930 the `` Komsomol Christmases '' and Easters were basically holiday celebrations of atheism . Jump up ^ Ramet , Sabrina Petra ( 10 November 2005 ) .

Antireligioznik obliged with so many articles that it devoted an entire section of its annual index for 1928 to anti-religious training in the schools . More such material followed in 1929 , and a flood of it the next year . It recommended what Lenin and others earlier had explicitly condemned -- carnivals , farces , and games to intimidate and purge the youth of religious belief . It suggested that pupils campaign against customs associated with Christmas ( including Christmas trees ) and Easter . Some schools , the League approvingly reported , staged an anti-religious day on the 31st of each month . Not teachers but the League 's local set the programme for this special occasion .

Anthony Kiedis Health Scare ( edit ) On May 14 , the band were forced to cancel their headlining slot at the annual KROQ Weenie Roast as Kiedis was rushed to the hospital prior to the band appearing on stage due to severe stomach pain . Flea alongside , Smith and Klinghoffer made an announcement on the stage as they were due to appear . It is unknown whether upcoming shows would be affected as a result Kiedis ' mother Peggy posted the following morning on Facebook that `` Anthony will be OK . No surgery is needed . I will keep you updated , I promise '' It was confirmed that Kiedis was suffering from intestinal flu and was expected to make a full recovery soon however the band was forced to postpone their iHeartRadio album preview show on May 17 , 2016 and has rescheduled it for May 26 , 2016 . The band returned to the stage on May 22 , 2016 in Columbus , OH . According to Chad Smith , Kiedis had suffered from the stomach flu a few weeks earlier as well . In a May 20 , 2016 interview with Entertainment Tonight Canada , his first since being released from the hospital , Kiedis said that his illness was brought on by an `` inflammation in my guts '' which he said was complicated by a recent stomach virus and existing scar tissue from previous hernia operations which required his stomach being pumped at the hospital due to his food not being able to properly digest . `` That becomes an incredibly painful situation where you get a fever and pass out ... Lo an behold , I 'm on the mend '' He went on to say `` so it turned out to be a good thing , albeit painful and very sad to have to cancel a show . We do n't really do that . I 'd rather play deathly ill than not play at all , but in this particular instance , I was starting to go down , as in to the ground , so I got rushed to the hospital , got some help , and now I get to figure things out . '' The Getaway world tour ( edit ) The band performing with the tube lights over head Singer Anthony Kiedis in a May 5 , 2016 interview discussed touring and said they were very excited to have a lot of new songs to play . Kiedis said `` this being our second record with Josh , it feels a lot more fulfilling . And , it 's always great to have a job as a musician . It 's great to be in this band . We love seeing the world . But to have all these new songs at our disposal for live shows makes it feel like ' Let 's go . Let 's go . We have a mission now . You do this incredible thing in the studio and then you go practice and rehearse and make sure you can play this stuff live and then you go see the world . You know everywhere ; from Asia to South America to Europe and Eastern Europe and hopefully the Middle East and Africa and you know , you give this music life to people far far away that it means something to and you have this communal experience together . And when you just ca n't take it for another day and you 're beat and you 're haggard and you 're tired and you want to collapse and you come home and you gather some new life experience and start writing a little bit and Flea sits down at the piano and says , ' Hey , I have these chords . What do you think about these chords ? And I say , hmmm , I hear melody in there and you start it all over again . '' Drummer Chad Smith said on May 17 , 2016 that the band would be playing in Europe for pretty much the remainder of the year once the tour starts with the North American tour not happening until 2017 . All purchases of tickets through the band 's website include a free download or physical copy of The Getaway . The production for the arena tour featured over 800 tube lights that stretched out across the audience .

The rarely performed `` She 's Only 18 '' also made its return after a two - year absence . On June 13 , 2016 , in a pre-taped segment on The Late Late Show with James Corden , the band appeared in the show 's popular Carpool Karaoke segment . During the filming of the segment , Kiedis saved the life of a baby . `` a woman came out of her house , holding a child saying ' My baby , my baby , my baby ca n't breathe ! ' We all ran across the street , the woman thrust the baby into my arms , the baby was not breathing and I thought ' I 'm gon na try and do a little baby CPR real quick , see if I can get some air in this kid . ' Tried to open the mouth , ( it was ) like locked shut . So I started rubbing the belly , bubbles came out of the mouth , the eyes rolled back into place , the ambulance showed up and I handed the baby over , who was now breathing and fine , and we went back to Carpool Karaoke . The little baby looked at me the entire time until the ambulance came , little baby Nina . '' Kiedis said On June 14 , 2016 , the band performed eight songs at Studios SFP in France . `` Dark Necessities '' and `` Give it Away '' appeared on the television show Le Grand Journal while the remaining six songs , which included the live debut of `` The Longest Wave '' , were recorded for radio station RTL2 's `` Très Très Privé '' concert series .

The band using their festival production in Leeds In an August 2016 interview , Flea discussed touring and playing the same songs saying `` Has there ever been a night where I 've been like ' If I play fucking ' Give It Away ' again my cock 's gon na fall off ' ? Yes . There are moments of having a hard time finding the essence and spirit of a song , but in general it 's all about the people in the end . It 's all about connecting with the people. I try to keep myself in a place of being completely selfless about it and doing my best to use every song , whether it 's one I 've heard a million times or a new one , as a vehicle for connecting with people and making them feel less alone in the world . '' European leg I ( edit ) The band 's European headlining tour began on September 1 , 2016 and lasted until mid-December 2016 .

The Rams made their return to Los Angeles after 22 years in St. Louis . `` Since I was a little boy , I 've taken joy in the beauty of the Rams .

He 's pretty lost ; he 's just a spirit but I would like for everyone just to take ten seconds to send him some love , to send his spirit some love because pretty soon he will be sailing on and I would appreciate it if his home town could send him love for a whole ten seconds of love . Let 's give it up . Ten ! Thank you . Let 's do this tune . Appreciate it .

Children's Air Ambulance
Children 's Air Ambulance - wikipedia Children 's Air Ambulance Jump to : navigation , search It has been suggested that this article be merged into The Air Ambulance Service . ( Discuss ) Proposed since March 2016 . `` The template Infobox organization is being considered for merging . '' Children 's Air Ambulance Abbreviation TCAA Formation 2005 Legal status Registered charity Purpose Transporting critically ill children in the UK Location Hazell House , Burnthurst Lane , Princethorpe , CV23 9QA Region served UK Parent organization The Air Ambulance Service Website www.thechildrensairambulance.org.uk The Children 's Air Ambulance is an air ambulance charity that transfers critically ill children from local hospitals to specialist paediatric centres . It also moves specialist teams to local hospitals when a child is too sick to travel . It operates mainly in England , but has also flown missions in Wales and Scotland . It was founded in 2005 and has been run by The Air Ambulance Service charity since 2011 . Contents ( hide ) 1 Operations 2 Clinical Partners 3 History 4 Ambassadors 5 Funding 6 Shops 7 Criticisms 8 See also 9 References 10 External links Operations ( edit ) The service operates from Coventry Airport , and can reach anywhere in the UK within two hours and reach all of the UK 's specialist children 's units within 70 minutes . Children and clinical teams are moved using an AgustaWestland AW109 helicopter , which was leased by the charity in October 2012 . It has a top speed of 185 mph . The helicopter always flies with two pilots and , when transporting a child , generally carries a paediatrician and a specialist nurse on board . Children are transported in a bespoke stretcher ( certified for flight ) which was designed and built in partnership with consultant paediatricians and transport nurses . No specialised stretcher for paediatric helicopter transfer existed at the time . The stretcher was nicknamed ' Shrek ' because the first one was painted green . ' Shrek ' can carry a baby up to 8 kg being in a specialist ' baby pod ' , or facilitate larger babies and children on the stretcher mattress . The stretcher design allows for the equipment needed for paediatric intensive care to be secure and easily operated , whether in flight or on the ground . Each of the six transport teams the charity currently works with has its own ' Shrek ' stretcher . When a child is too sick or not able to travel , the Children 's Air Ambulance will transfer specialists from the Clinical Partner Team to a local hospital . The helicopter is not an emergency helicopter , but a transfer vehicle for children and specialist teams to and from hospitals across the country . The Children 's Air Ambulance , alongside the Warwickshire & Northamptonshire Air Ambulance which is also based at Coventry , is registered with the Care Quality Commission . Working alongside a key clinical partner , the service has achieved accreditation with the Commission on Accreditation of Medical Transport Systems , a recognised international standard for safety , quality and governance .

The Children 's Air Ambulance has nine clinical partners which commission transfers : The North West and North Wales Transport Service ( NWTS ) East Midlands Children 's Heart Care Association ( ECMO ) The Children 's Acute Transport Service ( CATS ) The Southampton Oxford Retrieval Team ( SORT ) Embrace -- who have recently reached 50 transfers South Thames Retrieval Service ( STRS ) Leicester PICU 's transfer team Wales & West Acute Transport for Children ( WATCh ) Newborn Emergency Stabilisation & Transport Team ( NEST ) History ( edit ) The Children 's Air Ambulance was founded in 2005 . It raised funds over a five - year period , but did not own , lease or provide an air ambulance service . Following an investigation by the Charity Commission into a range of complaints from the public , the charity was taken over by The Air Ambulance Service in 2011 . At the time , The Air Ambulance Service operated the Warwickshire & Northamptonshire Air Ambulance and the Derbyshire , Leicestershire & Rutland Air Ambulance . Under the management of The Air Ambulance Service , which had no connection in any way with the original charity , the Children 's Air Ambulance flew its first team transfer in December 2012 , and its first baby in May 2013 . In October 2014 the charity made its 100th transfer and has now visited 66 hospitals . Ambassadors ( edit ) The Children 's Air Ambulance has a number of Ambassadors supporting its work , including : Melaine Walcott David Gold , Head of Public Affairs at Royal Mail Group Anita Dobson Grace Woodward Stanley Fink , Lord Fink of Northwood Brian May Katie Marshall Funding ( edit ) Prior to being taken over by The Air Ambulance Service the funding figures for the previous charity were as follows . In 2006 it raised £ 46,865 and spent £ 47,246 , in 2007 it raised £ 19,466 and spent £ 2,265 , in 2008 it raised £ 371 and spent £ 0 , in 2009 it raised £ 56,542 and spent £ 52,232 , in 2010 it raised £ 608,910 and spend £ 424,514 , in 2011 it raised £ 563,189 and spent £ 488,659 . In 2011 of the £ 488,659 spent , £ 427,600 was spent on governing and income generation , £ 61,000 was spent on charity purposes and £ 74,500 was retained . The Children 's Air Ambulance is now part of The Air Ambulance Service , which receives no government funding and is entirely supported by public and corporate donations . The Air Ambulance Service charity raised £ 11.152 m in 2013 . Shops ( edit ) The Children 's Air Ambulance opened its first shop in 2012 in West Bridgford , Nottinghamshire and now has six across the UK . West Bridgford Muswell Hill Crouch End Solihull Rugeley Kings Heath ( Opening in August 2016 ) Burton upon Trent Criticisms ( edit ) Other air ambulance organisations in the UK have said that they fear their fundraising efforts will lose out due to people donating to the CAA instead . The Children 's Air Ambulance Trust has caused some confusion whilst fundraising with people confusing the CAA with local air ambulances such as Wiltshire Air Ambulance and Devon Air Ambulance . There have been some reports of established air ambulance charities warning potential donors to avoid ' bogus air ambulance charity collectors ' when actually the collections are for the CAA . During initial fundraising some confusion was caused as the charity did not have a helicopter and was not operational , meaning people were reluctant to donate to the half started project . The Devon Air Ambulance has also criticised the viability of this project , since the existing air ambulances do the potential work of the CAA , they claim there is no need for an Air Ambulance dedicated to children . They also criticised the costing of the CAA who plan to provide the service 24 hours a day , saying that their estimate of £ 1.5 million running costs is unrealistic given the size of the area they cover , the size of the task they plan to do and the larger than normal size of the aircraft they have chosen . In a similar incident in early 2012 The Midlands Air Ambulance distanced itself from The Children 's Air Ambulance fearing that donations would not help the cause they were given for . They also doubted the need for the proposed service . Later in the year the two charities TCAA and MAA released a joint statement asserting the need for both charities to run , and to highlight the new management of TCAA had dispensed with previous poor management . In 2011 , the Charity Commission published their report of an investigation into TCAA . It found that the charity had previously spent large amounts of income on consultancy with a company owned by the founder of the charity . The Commission had also received large number of complaints regarding literature distributed by the charity that did not mention that the charity did not operate , hire or have access to an air ambulance . Advice and guidance was given on both matters . In 2013 the head of the Dorset and Somerset Air Ambulance was interviewed by the BBC and claimed many criticisms against TCAA , particularly surrounding fundraising . He highlighted that the name of the parent charity , The Air Ambulance Service was giving the impression to potential donors that they were representing all UK air ambulances , when in fact they only operate three of them . Also in 2013 a leaked NHS report studying the viability of a pediatric air ambulance service found that operating regional services with the support of existing charities would be the best approach , contrary to TCAA 's approach , whereby they propose to cover the entire country with one vehicle .

List of National Basketball Association annual scoring leaders
List of National Basketball Association annual scoring Leaders - wikipedia List of National Basketball Association annual scoring Leaders Jump to : navigation , search Michael Jordan won a record ten scoring titles in his career . In basketball , points are accumulated through free throws or field goals . The National Basketball Association 's ( NBA ) scoring title is awarded to the player with the highest points per game average in a given season . The scoring title was originally determined by total points scored through the 1968 -- 69 season , after which points per game was used to determine the leader instead . Players who earned scoring titles before the 1979 -- 80 season did not record any two point field goals because the three - point line was first implemented in the NBA during that season . To qualify for the scoring title , the player must appear in at least 70 games ( out of 82 ) or have at least 1,400 points . These have been the entry criteria since the 1974 -- 75 season . Wilt Chamberlain holds the all - time records for total points scored ( 4,029 ) and points per game ( 50.4 ) in a season ; both records were achieved in the 1961 -- 62 season . He also holds the rookie records for points per game when he averaged 37.6 points in the 1959 -- 60 season . Among active players , Kevin Durant has the highest point total ( 2,593 ) and the highest scoring average ( 32.0 ) in a season ; both were achieved in the 2013 -- 14 season . Michael Jordan has won the most scoring titles , with ten . Jordan and Chamberlain are the only players to have won seven consecutive scoring titles ( this was also Chamberlain 's career total ) . George Gervin , Allen Iverson and Durant have won four scoring titles in their career , and George Mikan , Neil Johnston and Bob McAdoo have achieved it three times . Paul Arizin , Bob Pettit , Kareem Abdul - Jabbar , Shaquille O'Neal , Tracy McGrady , Kobe Bryant , and Russell Westbrook have each won the scoring title twice . Since the 1946 -- 47 season , five players have won both the scoring title and the NBA championship in the same season : Fulks in 1947 with the Philadelphia Warriors , Mikan from 1949 to 1950 with the Minneapolis Lakers , Abdul - Jabbar ( then Alcindor ) in 1971 with the Milwaukee Bucks , Jordan from 1991 to 1993 and from 1996 to 1998 with the Chicago Bulls , and O'Neal in 2000 with the Los Angeles Lakers . Since the introduction of the three - point field goal , O'Neal is the only scoring leader to have made no three - point field goals in his winning season . At 21 years and 197 days , Durant is the youngest scoring leader in NBA history , averaging 30.1 points in the 2009 -- 10 season . The most recent champion is Russell Westbrook , who averaged a career - high 31.6 points in the 2016 -- 17 season . Westbrook also averaged a triple double in the same season , one of only two players in NBA history to do so .

The designation is the result of the suspension of the Russian Olympic Committee after the Olympic doping controversy . During the 2018 Winter Olympics , two athletes from this team were tested positive for banned substances , and found guilty of doping by the Court of Arbitration for Sport ( CAS ) and sanctioned by the IOC . One bronze medal was returned . This is the first team since the Unified Team of 1992 to have Russian athletes participating under the neutral Olympic flag .

In November 2015 , the World Anti-Doping Agency ( WADA ) published a report and the International Association of Athletics Federations ( IAAF ) suspended Russia indefinitely from world track and field events . In May 2016 , The New York Times published allegations by the former director of Russia 's anti-doping laboratory , Dr. Grigory Rodchenkov , that a conspiracy of corrupt anti-doping officials , Federal Security Service ( FSB ) intelligence agents , and compliant Russian athletes used banned substances to gain an unfair advantage during the Games . Rodchenkov stated that the FSB tampered with over 100 urine samples as part of a cover - up , and that a third of the Russian medals won at Sochi were the result of doping . On 18 July 2016 , an independent investigation commissioned by WADA concluded that it was shown `` beyond a reasonable doubt '' that the RUSADA , the Ministry of Sport , the FSB and the Centre of Sports Preparation of the National Teams of Russia had `` operated for the protection of doped Russian athletes '' within a `` state - directed failsafe system '' using `` the disappearing positive ( test ) methodology '' . According to the McLaren Report , the Disappearing Positive Methodology operated from `` at least late 2011 to August 2015 '' . It was used on 643 positive samples , a number that the authors consider `` only a minimum '' due to limited access to Russian records . On 9 December 2016 , Canadian lawyer Richard McLaren published the second part of his independent report . The investigation found that from 2011 to 2015 , more than 1,000 Russian competitors in various sports ( including summer , winter , and Paralympic sports ) benefited from the cover - up . Following the release of the McLaren report , the IOC announced the initiation of an investigation of 28 Russian athletes at the Sochi Olympic Games . La Gazzetta dello Sport reported the names of 17 athletes , of whom 15 are among the 28 under investigation . As of late December 2017 , 13 medals had been stripped and 43 Russian athletes had been disqualified for competition in 2018 . The number of athletes under investigation rose to 36 ( and eventually 46 ) in December . Russia has denied the existence of a doping program with the President of Russia , Vladimir Putin , blaming the United States for `` using the Olympics to meddle in the Russian presidential election '' . Official sanctions ( edit ) Approved OAR logo On 5 December 2017 , the IOC announced that the Russian Olympic Committee had been suspended from the 2018 Winter Olympics with immediate effect . Athletes who had no previous drug violations and a consistent history of drug testing were to be allowed to compete under the Olympic Flag as an `` Olympic Athlete from Russia '' ( OAR ) . Under the terms of the decree , Russian government officials were barred from the Games , and neither the country 's flag nor anthem would be present ( the Olympic Flag and Olympic Anthem would be used instead ) . On 20 December 2017 the IOC proposed an alternative logo for the OAR athletes ' uniforms ( shown on right ) . IOC President Thomas Bach said that `` after following due process ( the IOC ) has issued proportional sanctions for this systematic manipulation while protecting the clean athletes '' . As of January 2018 , the IOC had sanctioned 43 Russian athletes from the 2014 Winter Olympics and banned them from competing in the 2018 edition and all other future Olympic Games as part of the Oswald Commission . All but one of these athletes appealed against their bans to CAS . The court overturned the sanctions on 28 athletes , meaning that their Sochi medals and results were reinstated , but decided that there was sufficient evidence against eleven of the athletes to uphold their Sochi sanctions . The IOC said in a statement that `` the result of the CAS decision does not mean that athletes from the group of 28 will be invited to the Games . Not being sanctioned does not automatically confer the privilege of an invitation '' and that `` this ( case ) may have a serious impact on the future fight against doping '' . The IOC were careful to note that the CAS Secretary General `` insisted that the CAS decision does not mean that these 28 athletes are innocent '' and that they would consider an appeal against the court 's decision . The court also decided that none of the 39 athletes should be banned from all future Olympic Games , but only the 2018 Games . Three of the 42 Russian athletes that originally appealed are still waiting for their hearing , which will be conducted after the 2018 Games . An original pool of 500 Russian athletes was put forward for consideration for the 2018 Games and 111 were immediately removed from consideration . The remaining athletes had to meet pre-games conditions such as further pre-games tests and reanalysis from stored samples . Only if these requirements were met would the athletes be considered for invitation to the Games . None of the athletes who had been sanctioned by the Oswald Commission were still in the pool at this stage . The final number of neutral Russian athletes invited to compete was 169 and , after speed skater Olga Graf dropped out , the eventual total was 168 . Reaction in Russia ( edit ) Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev with medal winners from Russia , 28 February 2018 In the past , the Russian president Vladimir Putin and other officials had stated that it would be an embarrassment for Russia if its athletes were not allowed to compete under the Russian flag . However , his spokesman later revealed that no boycott had actually been discussed prior to the IOC 's decision . After the announcement , Ramzan Kadyrov , the head of Chechnya , announced that none of the Chechen athletes would be permitted to participate under a neutral flag . On 6 December , Putin stated that his government were prepared to allow Russian athletes to compete at the Games as individuals , but there were still calls from other Russian politicians for a boycott . Gennady Zyuganov , leader of the Communist Party of the Russian Federation , proposed to send fans to the Games with a Soviet Victory Banner . Sergey Lavrov , the Russian Minister of Foreign Affairs , suggested that the United States `` fears honest competition '' ; while Vladimir Putin was of the opinion that the United States had used its influence within the IOC to `` orchestrate the doping scandal '' . He called the IOC decision an unfair `` collective punishment '' , saying `` It all looks like an absolutely orchestrated and politically motivated decision . For me , there are no doubts about this . '' The popular Russian newspaper Komsomolskaya Pravda reported that 86 % of Russians opposed participating in the Olympics under a neutral flag . Despite the OAR designation , many Russian fans still attended the Games , wearing the Russian colours and chanting `` Россия ! '' ( `` Russia ! '' ) in unison , in an act of defiance against the ban . After the games , Russian figure skater Evgenia Medvedeva revealed in an Instagram post that the Russian tricolor was hidden on the OAR medal ceremony uniforms underneath a white fur scarf buttoned on the front of the jacket . Criticism ( edit ) The International Ice Hockey Federation voiced support for allowing the full participation of `` all clean Russian athletes '' in the 2018 Winter Games , calling on the IOC to refrain from imposing `` collective punishment '' . The IOC 's decision was heavily criticized by Jack Robertson , who was primary investigator of the Russian doping program on behalf of WADA. Robertson argued that the IOC had issued `` a non-punitive punishment meant to save face while protecting the ( IOC 's ) and Russia 's commercial and political interests '' . He also highlighted the fact that Russian whistleblowers proved beyond doubt that `` 99 percent of ( their ) national - level teammates were doping '' . According to Robertson , `` ( WADA ) has discovered that when a Russian athlete ( reaches ) the national level , he or she ( has ) no choice in the matter : ( it is ) either dope , or you 're done '' . He added `` There is currently no intelligence I have seen or heard about that indicates the state - sponsored doping program has ceased . '' It was also reported that Russian officials intensively lobbied US politicians in an apparent attempt to secure Dr. Grigory Rodchenkov 's extradition to Russia ( Rodchenkov being the main whistleblower ) . The CAS decision to overturn the life bans of 28 Russian athletes and restore their medals was fiercely criticised by Olympic officials , including IOC president Thomas Bach who said the decision was `` extremely disappointing and surprising '' . Whistleblower Rodchenkov 's lawyer stated that `` the CAS decision would allow doped athletes to escape without punishment '' , also that `` ( the CAS decision ) provides yet another ill - gotten gain for the corrupt Russian doping system generally , and Putin specifically '' . Failed doping tests ( edit ) Curler Alexander Krushelnitskiy failed his doping test after winning bronze in the mixed doubles curling as he tested positive for meldonium . This is a drug used for treating heart conditions such as angina , chronic heart failure , cardiomyopathy and other cardiovascular disorders . It has the effect of increasing blood flow and can lead to an improvement in endurance . Meldonium was placed on WADA 's list of substances banned from use by athletes two years previously . Krushelnitskiy 's wife and curling partner Anastasia Bryzgalova tested negative for meldonium , but they were forced by the IOC to return their bronze medals since CAS had found Krushelnitskiy guilty of doping . He would later announce his decision not to contest the IOC 's ruling but reserved the right to challenge the suspension should the investigation conclude `` no fault or negligence '' . Norway was subsequently awarded the bronze medal for the mixed doubles curling event . Nadezhda Sergeeva , a bobsleigh pilot , tested positive for trimetazidine , a drug used for treating angina and which is also included in WADA 's list of banned substances . She placed 12th in the women 's competition , but had passed her drug test five days before the first runs were held at the start of the event . Medalists ( edit ) Medal Name Sport Event Date 01 !

In the first Olympics since 1994 that did not feature any active NHL players , the Olympic Athletes from Russia ( OAR ) team , consisting primarily of SKA and CSKA players of a Russia - based KHL and featuring ex-NHL all - stars Pavel Datsyuk , Ilya Kovalchuk and Vyacheslav Voynov ( all SKA ) , won the gold medal , after a 4 -- 3 overtime victory over the German team in the final . In its post-Olympics World Ranking , the IIHF counted this as a result for the Russian team . The IIHF considers this victory to be Russia 's second gold medal in the Olympics , as they also attributed the 1992 Unified Team gold medal to Russia . However , the IOC does not attribute either of these results to Russia.

The series was first broadcast on January 9 , 2000 , and ended its six - year run on May 14 , 2006 , after seven seasons and 151 episodes . The series received critical acclaim and won a Peabody Award , seven Emmy Awards , one Grammy Award , and seven Golden Globe nominations . The series follows a family of six , and later seven , and stars Frankie Muniz in the lead role of Malcolm Wilkerson , a somewhat normal boy who tests at genius level . While he enjoys his intelligence , he despises having to take classes for gifted children , who are mocked by the other students who call them `` Krelboynes '' . Jane Kaczmarek is Malcolm 's overbearing , authoritarian mother , Lois , and Bryan Cranston plays his immature but loving father , Hal . Christopher Kennedy Masterson plays eldest brother Francis , a former rebel who , in earlier episodes , was in military school , but eventually marries and settles into a steady job . Justin Berfield is Malcolm 's dimwitted older brother Reese , a cruel bully who tortures Malcolm at home , even while he defends him at school . Younger brother Dewey , bitter about his ruined childhood , smart , and musically talented , is portrayed by Erik Per Sullivan . At first , the show 's focus was on Malcolm , but as the series progressed , it began to explore all six members of the family . A fifth son , Jamie , was introduced as a baby at the end of Season 4 . Malcolm in the Middle was produced by Satin City and Regency Television in association with Fox Television Studios ( syndicated by Fox corporate sibling 20th Television ) . The show has proven popular worldwide and has been syndicated in 57 countries . In the United States , it had been syndicated during the day on FX and at night on Nickelodeon 's sister channel TeenNick , as well as local stations . It 's also currently being syndicated by IFC every Saturday , Sunday , Monday and Tuesday mornings at 8 : 00am EST . In the United Kingdom , it originally aired on Sky 1 then eventually began on BBC Two on 6 April 2001 , its HD counterpart and Sky 2 , however after Sky stopped airing repeats of the show , the rights were bought by Channel 5 and the show was shown on 5Star . Since 2015 , the show airs on Comedy Central . In Ireland it aired on TV3 's sister channel 3e . It was also syndicated on Network Ten from 2009 to 2010 and on Eleven from February 2011 in Australia ( originally airing on the Nine Network , 2001 -- 2009 ) and on Comedy Central in India . In Canada , episodes were shown on the Global Television Network . The show received universal acclaim from critics and proved an extremely popular draw for the network . It was placed No. 88 on Entertainment Weekly 's `` New TV Classics '' list , and was named by Alan Sepinwall of HitFix as one of the 10 best shows in Fox network history .

The show stars Frankie Muniz as Malcolm , the third of four and later five boys , his brothers , and their parents , Lois ( Jane Kaczmarek ) and Hal ( Bryan Cranston ) . Their first child , Francis ( Christopher Masterson ) , was sent away to military school , leaving his three younger brothers at home , Reese ( Justin Berfield ) , Malcolm , and Dewey ( Erik Per Sullivan ) with Malcolm being the middle child still living at home . In season four , the character Jamie ( James and Lukas Rodriguez ) was added to the show as the fifth son of Hal & Lois . The show 's early seasons centered on Malcolm dealing with the rigors of being an adolescent and enduring the eccentricities of his life . Later seasons gradually explored the other members of the family and their friends in more depth , including others such as Craig Feldspar , Lois ' coworker at the Lucky Aide drugstore , Malcolm 's friend Stevie Kenarban , and Stevie 's dad Abe . The series was so much different from many others in that Malcolm broke the fourth wall by talking directly to the viewer , all scenes were shot using a single - camera setup , and the show employed neither a laugh track nor a live studio audience . Emulating the style of hour - long dramas , this half - hour show was shot on film instead of on video . Another distinctive aspect of the show is that the cold open of every episode is unrelated to the main story . Exceptions were episodes which were the conclusions of `` two - parters '' ; each part two episode opened with a recap of its part one episode . Characters ( edit ) Main article : Characters of Malcolm in the Middle The family ( edit ) Malcolm ( Frankie Muniz ) : the title character of the series . Malcolm is a genius with an IQ of 165 and a photographic memory . He is placed in a class for gifted students ( or `` Krelboynes '' as they are known at the school ) . His intelligence , as well as feelings of not fitting in , and a large ego fueled by a cruel streak of snarkiness cause numerous problems for him over the course of the series . As the title suggests , Malcolm is initially the middle child of the three living at home ; chronologically , he is Hal and Lois ' third son . His best friend is Stevie Kenarban . In the series finale , he graduates from high school and starts attending a prestigious college by both scholarship and working various jobs , specifically as a janitor at Harvard University . Lois ( Jane Kaczmarek ) : The family 's hot - headed and stubborn mother . An intelligent and decisive woman , most of her bullishness comes from her constant battles throughout the series to keep her badly behaved , highly destructive boys in check , while maintaining a menial job at a Lucky Aide drugstore . Despite her constant aggressiveness , she is motherly and will defend her family fiercely , especially towards neighbors and others who view them as poor trash ; in one episode , she finds that Malcolm and Reese discovered their neighbor having an affair with her Hispanic gardener while they planned to frame her son for theft , but does n't punish them for their actions as this counted as revenge against the woman , who hated Lois . Lois is disliked by both Hal 's wealthy family and her own parents . She has a younger sister named Susan , who blames Lois for stealing Hal from her . Neighbors despise Lois and her boys and celebrate the weekends when they 're gone . In the series finale , she discovered that she and Hal are expecting a 6th child . Hal ( Bryan Cranston ) : Hal is Lois ' husband and father to Francis , Reese , Malcolm , Dewey , and Jamie . Hal is a well - meaning , loving , but inept and somewhat immature father , and is completely dependent on Lois , whom he loves absolutely . He comes from a wealthy family that does not accept Lois as his wife and wishes that he married Susan instead . Because his family is disrespectful towards Lois , he rarely mentions them and avoids his family . Hal loves his boys and will sometimes sneak them out for fun father - son activities behind Lois ' back . Hal is an indecisive character who frequently picks up new hobbies for short periods of time , such as speed walking , or painting , and is irresponsible with the money he earns from his low - paying desk job . His indecisiveness was explored in `` Living Will '' from a childhood which he had a hard time making decisions for himself and because of this , he always deferred to Lois to make them for him . In the series finale , he discovered that he and Lois are expecting a 6th child . Hal is also a sex addict , this was revealed in the episode `` Forbidden Girlfriend '' when Lois is taking medication and is unable to have sex for an entire week , it is mentioned again in the episode `` Poker 2 '' when Hal tells his friends he has sex 14 times per week . Hals best friend is Abe Kenarban . Francis ( Christopher Masterson ) : Hal and Lois ' first son . At the beginning of the series , he is attending military school in Alabama , run by the strict Commandant Spangler ( Daniel von Bargen ) . It is shown that his parents enjoyed a promising middle - class , comfortable lifestyle before he was born and that he was such a difficult , destructive child that that dream soon ended . He has himself legally emancipated at the start of Season 3 , leaves the school , and travels to Alaska . He finds work at a logging camp and later meets and marries Piama ( Emy Coligado ) , a girl of Inuit heritage . When the camp closes , they move to the western United States and take jobs at a Wild West - themed hotel / ranch , run by kindly but eccentric German , Otto Mannkusser ( Kenneth Mars ) , and his wife , Gretchen ( Meagen Fay ) . Francis and his mother have a mutual love - hate war of wills and his main motivation in life is to thwart or irk her ( though , ironically , he marries a woman with the same personality as Lois . ) Although a juvenile delinquent , he is street - smart . Francis becomes a less frequently seen character after season 5 , becoming an occasional recurring character and making only a small handful of appearances in Season 6 and the final Season 7 . Whereas he was featured regularly in previous seasons as a side - story to the main family , Francis ' steady job disappeared in season 6 due to legal issues , and he returned to being a delinquent , leading a questionable and poor lifestyle with his wife , Piama , until it is revealed in the final episode of season 7 , `` Graduation '' , that Francis already has a steady desk job sorting out computers . He admits he likes his job to Hal , but also enjoys frustrating Lois by telling her that he 's unemployed . Also in the series finale , Francis and Piama are expecting their first child . Reese ( Justin Berfield ) : Hal and Lois ' second son . He is the older brother of Malcolm , Dewey , and Jamie , and younger brother of Francis . Reese is the most impulsive and physical of the boys . He lacks common sense , he is frequently outwitted and outspoken by other family members , and is gleefully violent . Despite being unwilling to think , Reese is as much a genius as his brothers , although in less traditional or obvious ways . Reese is better than Malcolm at devising plans , and is masterful at the rare things which can pin his drifting focus , such as driving , or when he 's revealed to be a Culinary prodigy , excelling at cooking and baking . In the series finale , he finally graduates from high school after intentionally failing many times before , he obtained full employment as a high school custodian , and shares an apartment with Craig . Dewey ( Erik Per Sullivan ) : Hal and Lois ' fourth son . He is the youngest child until the birth of Jamie , and often falls victim to his brothers ' pranks . Dewey is very intelligent and musically gifted . He plays the piano . He has a very high tolerance for pain due to years of physical and mental abuse from his brothers . Despite his intelligence , he is placed in a remedial class for slower students ( or `` Buseys '' ) due to a misunderstanding . Dewey remains in the class and serves as their self - appointed teacher . By the seventh and final season of the show , the Busey class is no longer mentioned . He is the only sibling that eventually breaks the cycle of abusing the younger sibling , which ends up with him acting like a normal , lovable brother towards Jamie . In the series finale , he along with Jamie are seen hiding under the table . Jamie ( James and Lukas Rodriguez ) : Hal and Lois ' fifth son , born at the end of Season 4 . Despite his infancy , he is shown to already have some of his brothers ' habits , such as stealing and disrespecting Lois . He is shown to being the only child who is capable of defeating Lois . Like Malcolm and Dewey , Jamie is revealed to be very intelligent and takes advantage of his less intelligent older brother , Reese . In the series finale , he along with Dewey were seen hiding under the table .

Filming ( edit ) The house at 12334 Cantura Street as it appeared in 2009 . Much of the filming for Malcolm in the Middle was done on location in various parts of the Thirty Mile Zone around Los Angeles . A privately owned home , located at 12334 Cantura Street in Toluca Lake , California , was rented for upwards of $3,000 a day to film as Malcolm 's house . Rebuilt in 2011 , the property is no longer recognizable due to its modern two - floor design . However , the house directly to the left of it is nearly identical to what it looked like during filming , still making it a frequent stop for fans of the show . School scenes were filmed at Walter Reed Middle School , in North Hollywood , and the Lucky Aide was represented by a Drug Emporium at 6020 Lankershim Boulevard in North Hollywood . In `` Stock Car Races , '' when Hal and the boys are entering a race track , the billboard behind the entrance displays the place as Irwindale Speedway , a real race track in Southern California . The last episode in the first season ( `` Waterpark '' ) was filmed at a water park called Wild Rivers located in Irvine , California . It is never revealed which state the show is set in ( except for Francis ' whereabouts in early seasons , such as his military school in Alabama and his job in Alaska ) . Studio filming for Malcolm in the Middle took place on Stage 21 at CBS Studio Center in Studio City . Chris Masterson would take a diminished role starting with Season 6 of the show in favor of getting behind the camera , directing and writing some episodes in Seasons 6 and 7 . Music ( edit ) The show 's theme song , `` Boss of Me '' , was written and recorded by the alternative rock group They Might Be Giants . The song won the `` Best Song Written for a Motion Picture , Television or Other Visual Media '' award at the 2002 Grammy Awards . The band also performed nearly all of the incidental music for the show in its first two seasons . Mood setting music is sprinkled throughout the series , in lieu of audience laughter , in a way that resembles feature film more than other TV sitcoms . Some examples of this highly varied music include ABBA , Basement Jaxx , Sum 41 , Kenny Rogers , Lemon Jelly , Lords of Acid , The Getaway People , En Vogue , Electric Light Orchestra , Fatboy Slim , Phil Collins , Tears for Fears , Quiet Riot , Queen , and Citizen King whose song `` Better Days '' is played at the end of both the pilot episode and the series finale . The Southern California pop - punk band Lit have many of their songs featured in several episodes . Lit songs that were never released as singles were also used .

malcolm in the middle what is their last name
[ "Set in the fictional town of Star City, California, The series Malcolm in the Middle is about a boy named Malcolm Wilkerson and his dysfunctional family.[5][6] The show stars Frankie Muniz as Malcolm, the third of four and later five boys, his brothers, and their parents, Lois (Jane Kaczmarek) and Hal (Bryan Cranston). Their first child, Francis (Christopher Masterson), was sent away to military school, leaving his three younger brothers at home, Reese (Justin Berfield), Malcolm, and Dewey (Erik Per Sullivan) with Malcolm being the middle child still living at home. In season four, the character Jamie (James and Lukas Rodriguez) was added to the show as the fifth son of Hal & Lois. The show's early seasons centered on Malcolm dealing with the rigors of being an adolescent and enduring the eccentricities of his life. Later seasons gradually explored the other members of the family and their friends in more depth, including others such as Craig Feldspar, Lois' coworker at the Lucky Aide drugstore, Malcolm's friend Stevie Kenarban, and Stevie's dad Abe." ]

In September 2015 , the Beatles donated the use of their recording of the song to People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals for a television commercial . Contents ( hide ) 1 Composition 2 Recording 3 Release 4 Cover versions 5 Personnel 6 Charts 6.1 Weekly charts 6.2 Year - end charts 6.3 Certifications 7 Notes 8 References 9 External links Composition ( edit ) While in Paris , the Beatles stayed at the five star George V hotel and had an upright piano moved into one of their suites so that song writing could continue . It was here that McCartney wrote `` Ca n't Buy Me Love '' . The song was written under the pressure of the success achieved by `` I Want to Hold Your Hand '' which had just reached number one in America . When producer George Martin first heard `` Ca n't Buy Me Love '' he felt the song needed changing : `` I thought that we really needed a tag for the song 's ending , and a tag for the beginning ; a kind of intro . So I took the first two lines of the chorus and changed the ending , and said ' Let 's just have these lines , and by altering the second phrase we can get back into the verse pretty quickly . ' '' And they said , `` That 's not a bad idea , we 'll do it that way '' . The song 's verse is a twelve bar blues in structure , a formula that the Beatles seldom applied to their own material . When pressed by American journalists in 1966 to reveal the song 's `` true '' meaning , McCartney stated that , `` I think you can put any interpretation you want on anything , but when someone suggests that ' Ca n't Buy Me Love ' is about a prostitute , I draw the line . '' He went on to say : `` The idea behind it was that all these material possessions are all very well , but they wo n't buy me what I really want . '' However , he was to comment later : `` It should have been ' Can Buy Me Love ' '' when reflecting on the perks that money and fame had brought him . Recording ( edit ) `` Ca n't Buy Me Love '' was recorded on 29 January 1964 at EMI 's Pathe Marconi Studios in Paris , France , where the Beatles were performing 18 days of concerts at the Olympia Theatre . At this time , EMI 's West Germany branch , Odeon , insisted that the Beatles would not sell records in any significant numbers in Germany unless they were actually sung in the German language and the Beatles reluctantly agreed to re-record the vocals to `` She Loves You '' and `` I Want to Hold Your Hand '' prior to them being released in Germany . George Martin travelled to Paris with a newly mastered rhythm track for what was to be `` Komm , Gib Mir Deine Hand '' ( `` Come , Give Me your Hand '' / `` I Want to Hold your Hand '' ) . `` Sie Liebt Dich '' ( `` She Loves You '' ) required the Beatles to record a new rhythm track as the original two - track recording had been scrapped . EMI sent a translator to be present for this recording session which had been hurriedly arranged to tie in with the Beatles ' Paris commitments . This was accomplished well within the allotted studio time allowing the Beatles an opportunity to record the backing track , with a guide vocal , to the recently composed `` Ca n't Buy Me Love '' . At this stage the song included background vocal harmonies . But after listening to the first take , the band concluded that the song did not need them . Therefore , `` Ca n't Buy Me Love '' became the first single the Beatles released without their characteristic background harmonies . McCartney 's final vocal was overdubbed at EMI Studios , Abbey Road , London , on 25 February . Also re-recorded on this day at EMI Studios was George Harrison 's modified guitar solo , although his original solo can still just be heard in the background . Harrison said : `` What happened was , we recorded first in Paris and re-recorded in England . Obviously they 'd tried to overdub it , but in those days they only had two tracks , so you can hear the version we put on in London , and in the background you can hear a quieter one . '' Helen Shapiro , a friend of the Beatles and present at this overdub session , says that Ringo Starr also added extra cymbals `` over the top '' and that `` apparently this was something he did quite often on their records '' . `` Ca n't Buy Me Love '' is also the only English - language track that the Beatles recorded in a studio outside the UK , although the instrumentation of the band 's 1968 B - side `` The Inner Light '' was recorded in India by Harrison and some Indian classical musicians . Release ( edit ) `` Ca n't Buy Me Love '' was released as a single , backed by John Lennon 's song `` You Ca n't Do That '' . The release took place on 16 March 1964 in the United States and four days later in the United Kingdom . In the US , `` Ca n't Buy Me Love '' topped the Billboard Hot 100 chart for four weeks . With the success of the song , the Beatles established four records on the Hot 100 : Until Billboard began using SoundScan for their charts in 1991 , the song had the biggest jump to the top position : number 27 to number 1 . It gave the Beatles three consecutive chart - topping singles , since `` I Want to Hold Your Hand '' was replaced at number 1 by `` She Loves You '' , which was in turn replaced by `` Ca n't Buy Me Love '' . The three songs spent a combined total of 14 consecutive weeks at number 1 . This is the only time an artist had three number 1 singles in a row . When `` Ca n't Buy Me Love '' reached number 1 , on 4 April 1964 , the Beatles held entire top five on the Hot 100 , the next positions being filled by `` Twist and Shout '' , `` She Loves You '' , `` I Want to Hold Your Hand '' and `` Please Please Me '' , respectively . No other act has held the top five spots simultaneously . During its second week at number 1 , the Beatles had fourteen songs on the Hot 100 at the same time . `` Ca n't Buy Me Love '' became the Beatles ' fourth UK number 1 and their third single to sell over a million copies in the UK . As of November 2012 , it had sold 1.53 million copies there . The song was included on the Beatles ' A Hard Day 's Night album in June 1964 and the US soundtrack album of the same name , released on United Artists Records . For its sequence in the film A Hard Day 's Night , director Richard Lester used crane shots to capture the four band members running and leaping in a sports field . In his book on the history of music videos , Money for Nothing , author Saul Austerlitz places `` Ca n't Buy Me Love '' at number 33 on the `` Top 100 Videos List '' . Subsequent album appearances for the song include the compilations A Collection of Beatles Oldies ( 1966 ) and Hey Jude ( 1970 ; also known as The Beatles Again ) , the 1973 double - disc collection 1962 -- 1966 , the 1982 release Reel Music , which features songs from the Beatles ' feature films ; the 1982 compilation 20 Greatest Hits , and 1 , released in November 2000 . Rolling Stone ranks `` Ca n't Buy Me Love '' at number 295 on its list of the 500 Greatest Songs of All Time . Cover versions ( edit ) Many artists have covered the song . Ella Fitzgerald recorded it for her 1964 album Hello , Dolly . This version was also released as a single , peaking at number 34 hit in the UK . The title of the Men Without Hats song `` Kenbarbielove '' is derived from that of the Beatles song . When the band 's drummer Michel Langevin was six years old , he did n't speak English , so he misheard the title of `` Ca n't Buy Me Love '' as `` Ken Barbie Love '' .

where was can't buy me love recorded
[ "While in Paris, the Beatles stayed at the five star George V hotel and had an upright piano moved into one of their suites so that song writing could continue.[4] It was here that McCartney wrote \"Can't Buy Me Love\". The song was written under the pressure of the success achieved by \"I Want to Hold Your Hand\" which had just reached number one in America. When producer George Martin first heard \"Can't Buy Me Love\" he felt the song needed changing: \"I thought that we really needed a tag for the song's ending, and a tag for the beginning; a kind of intro. So I took the first two lines of the chorus and changed the ending, and said 'Let's just have these lines, and by altering the second phrase we can get back into the verse pretty quickly.'\" And they said, \"That's not a bad idea, we'll do it that way\".[5] The song's verse is a twelve bar blues in structure, a formula that the Beatles seldom applied to their own material.[6]" ]

The title comes from the poem `` Harlem '' ( also known as `` A Dream Deferred '' ) by Langston Hughes . The story tells of a black family 's experiences in the Washington Park Subdivision of Chicago 's Woodlawn neighborhood as they attempt to `` better '' themselves with an insurance payout following the death of the father . The New York Drama Critics ' Circle named it the best play of 1959 .

Walter is barely making a living as a limousine driver . Though Ruth is content with their lot , Walter is not and desperately wishes to become wealthy . His plan is to invest in a liquor store in partnership with Willy and Bobo , street - smart acquaintances of Walter 's . At the beginning of the play , Walter and Beneatha 's father has recently died , and Mama is waiting for a life insurance check for $10,000 . Walter has a sense of entitlement to the money , but Mama has religious objections to alcohol and Beneatha has to remind him it is Mama 's call how to spend it . Eventually Mama puts some of the money down on a new house , choosing an all - white neighborhood over a black one for the practical reason that it happens to be much cheaper . Later she relents and gives the rest of the money to Walter to invest with the provision that he reserve $3,000 for Beneatha 's education . Walter passes the money on to Willy 's naive sidekick Bobo , who gives it to Willy , who absconds with it , depriving Walter and Beneatha of their dreams , though not the Youngers of their new home . Meanwhile , Karl Lindner , a white representative of the neighborhood they plan to move to , makes a generous offer to buy them out . He wishes to avoid neighborhood tensions over interracial population , which to the three women 's horror Walter prepares to accept as a solution to their financial setback . Lena says that while money was something they try to work for , they should never take it if it was a person 's way of telling them they were n't fit to walk the same earth as them . Meanwhile , Beneatha 's character and direction in life are being defined for us by two different men : Beneatha 's wealthy and educated boyfriend George Murchison , and Joseph Asagai . Neither man is actively involved in the Youngers ' financial ups and downs . George represents the `` fully assimilated black man '' who denies his African heritage with a `` smarter than thou '' attitude , which Beneatha finds disgusting , while dismissively mocking Walter 's lack of money and education . Asagai patiently teaches Beneatha about her African heritage ; he gives her thoughtfully useful gifts from Africa , while pointing out she is unwittingly assimilating herself into white ways . She straightens her hair , for example , which he characterizes as `` mutilation . '' When Beneatha becomes distraught at the loss of the money , she is upbraided by Joseph for her materialism . She eventually accepts his point of view that things will get better with a lot of effort , along with his proposal of marriage and his invitation to move with him to Nigeria to practice medicine . Walter is oblivious to the stark contrast between George and Joseph : his pursuit of wealth can be attained only by liberating himself from Joseph 's culture , to which he attributes his poverty , and by rising to George 's level , wherein he sees his salvation . Walter redeems himself and black pride at the end by changing his mind and not accepting the buyout offer , stating that the family is proud of who they are and will try to be good neighbors . The play closes with the family leaving for their new home but uncertain future . The character Mrs. Johnson and a few scenes are often cut in reproductions . Mrs. Johnson is the Younger family 's neighbor . She is nosy and loud , and can not understand how the family can consider moving to a white neighborhood . Her lines are employed as comic relief , but Hansberry also uses this scene to mock those who are too scared to stand up for their rights . Litigation ( edit ) What happens to a dream deferred ? Does it dry up like a raisin in the sun ? `` '' Langston Hughes ( 1951 ) Experiences in this play echo a lawsuit ( Hansberry v. Lee , 311 U.S. 32 ( 1940 ) ) , to which the playwright Lorraine Hansberry 's family was a party when they fought to have their day in court because a previous class action about racially motivated restrictive covenants ( Burke v. Kleiman , 277 Ill . App . 519 ( 1934 ) ) had been similar to their situation . This case was heard prior to the passage of the Fair Housing Act ( Title VIII of the Civil Rights Act of 1968 ) , which prohibited discrimination in housing and created the Office of Fair Housing and Equal Opportunity . The Hansberrys won their right to be heard as a matter of due process of law in relation to the Fourteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution . The Supreme Court held that the Hansberry defendants were not bound by the Burke decision because the class of defendants in the respective cases had conflicting goals , and thus could not be considered to be the same class . Interestingly , the plaintiff in the first action in 1934 was Olive Ida Burke , who brought the suit on behalf of a property owners ' association to enforce racial restrictions . Her husband , James Burke , later sold a house to Carl Hansberry ( Lorraine 's father ) when he changed his mind about the validity of the covenant . Mr. Burke 's decision may have been motivated by the changing demographics of the neighborhood , but it was also influenced by the Depression . The demand for houses was so low among white buyers that Mr. Hansberry may have been the only prospective purchaser available . Lorraine reflects upon the litigation in her book To Be Young , Gifted , and Black : `` Twenty - five years ago , ( my father ) spent a small personal fortune , his considerable talents , and many years of his life fighting , in association with NAACP attorneys , Chicago 's ' restrictive covenants ' in one of this nation 's ugliest ghettos . That fight also required our family to occupy disputed property in a hellishly hostile ' white neighborhood ' in which literally howling mobs surrounded our house ... My memories of this ' correct ' way of fighting white supremacy in America include being spat at , cursed and pummeled in the daily trek to and from school . And I also remember my desperate and courageous mother , patrolling our household all night with a loaded German Luger ( pistol ) , doggedly guarding her four children , while my father fought the respectable part of the battle in the Washington court . '' The Hansberry house , a red - brick three - flat at 6140 S. Rhodes in Washington Park that they bought in 1937 , was given landmark status by the Chicago City Council 's Committee on Historical Landmarks Preservation in 2010 . Production and Reception ( edit ) Scene from the play . Ruby Dee as Ruth , Claudia McNeil as Lena , Glynn Turman as Travis , Sidney Poitier as Walter , and John Fiedler as Karl Lindner . With a cast in which all but one character is African - American , A Raisin in the Sun was considered a risky investment , and it took over a year for producer Philip Rose to raise enough money to launch it . There was disagreement with how it should be played , with focus on the mother or focus on the son . When the play hit New York , Poitier played it with the focus on the son and found not only his calling but also an audience enthralled . After touring to positive reviews , the play premiered on Broadway at the Ethel Barrymore Theatre on March 11 , 1959 . It transferred to the Belasco Theatre on October 19 , 1959 , and closed on June 25 , 1960 , after 530 total performances . Directed by Lloyd Richards , the cast comprised : Sidney Poitier -- Walter Lee Younger Ruby Dee -- Ruth Younger Ivan Dixon -- Joseph Asagai Lonne Elder III -- Bobo John Fiedler -- Karl Lindner Louis Gossett -- George Murchison Claudia McNeil -- Lena Younger Diana Sands -- Beneatha Younger Glynn Turman -- Travis Younger Ed Hall -- moving man Douglas Turner -- moving man Ossie Davis later took over as Walter Lee Younger , and Frances Williams as Lena Younger . Waiting for the curtain to rise on opening night , Hansberry and producer Rose did not expect the play to be a success , for it had already received mixed reviews from a preview audience the night before . Though it won popular and critical acclaim , reviewers argued about whether the play was `` universal '' or particular to African - American experience . It was then produced on tour . A Raisin in the Sun was the first play written by a black woman to be produced on Broadway , as well as the first with a black director , Mr. Richards . Hansberry noted that her play introduced details of black life to the overwhelmingly white Broadway audiences , while director Richards observed that it was the first play to which large numbers of black people were drawn . Frank Rich , writing in The New York Times in 1983 , stated that A Raisin in the Sun `` changed American theater forever . '' In 2016 , Claire Brennan wrote in The Guardian that `` The power and craft of the writing make A Raisin in the Sun as moving today as it was then . '' In 1960 A Raisin In The Sun was nominated for four Tony Awards : Best Play -- written by Lorraine Hansberry ; produced by Philip Rose , David J.

Written by John Lennon and Paul McCartney , and recorded in October 1963 , it was the first Beatles record to be made using four - track equipment . With advance orders exceeding one million copies in the United Kingdom , `` I Want to Hold Your Hand '' would have gone straight to the top of the British record charts on its day of release ( 29 November 1963 ) had it not been blocked by the group 's first million seller `` She Loves You '' , their previous UK single , which was having a resurgence of popularity following intense media coverage of the group . Taking two weeks to dislodge its predecessor , `` I Want to Hold Your Hand '' stayed at number one for five weeks and remained in the UK top 50 for 21 weeks in total . It was also the group 's first American number one , entering the Billboard Hot 100 chart on 18 January 1964 at number 45 and starting the British invasion of the American music industry . By 1 February it held the number - one spot , and stayed there for seven weeks before being replaced by `` She Loves You '' , a reverse scenario of what had occurred in Britain . It remained on the Billboard chart for 15 weeks . `` I Want to Hold Your Hand '' became the Beatles ' best - selling single worldwide . In 2013 , Billboard magazine named it the 44th biggest hit of `` all - time '' on the Billboard Hot 100 charts .

George Martin , however , had no such explicit recollections , believing that Capitol were left with no alternative but to release `` I Want To Hold Your Hand '' due to increasing demand for the group 's product . McCartney had recently moved into 57 Wimpole Street , London , where he was lodging as a guest of Dr Richard and Margaret Asher , and whose daughter , actress Jane Asher , had become McCartney 's girlfriend after their meeting earlier in the year . This location briefly became Lennon and McCartney 's new writing base , taking over from McCartney 's Forthlin Road home in Liverpool . Margaret Asher taught the oboe in the `` small , rather stuffy music room '' in the basement where Lennon and McCartney sat at the piano and composed ' I Want to Hold Your Hand ' . In September 1980 , Lennon told Playboy magazine : We wrote a lot of stuff together , one on one , eyeball to eyeball . Like in ' I Want to Hold Your Hand , ' I remember when we got the chord that made the song . We were in Jane Asher 's house , downstairs in the cellar playing on the piano at the same time . And we had , ' Oh you - u-u / got that something ... ' And Paul hits this chord and I turn to him and say , ' That 's it ! ' I said , ' Do that again ! ' In those days , we really used to absolutely write like that -- both playing into each other 's noses . In 1994 , McCartney agreed with Lennon 's description of the circumstances surrounding the composition of `` I Want to Hold Your Hand '' , saying : ' Eyeball to eyeball ' is a very good description of it . That 's exactly how it was . ' I Want to Hold Your Hand ' was very co-written . It was our big number one ; the one that would eventually break us in America . Musical structure ( edit ) The song is in the key of G major and lyrically opens two beats early with `` Oh yeah , I 'll tell you something '' with a D-B , B-D melody note drop and rise over a I ( G ) chord . Controversy exists over the landmark chord that Lennon stated McCartney hit on the piano while they were composing the song . Marshall considers it is the minor vi ( Em ) chord ( the third chord in the I - V7 - vi ( G - D7 - Em ) progression ) . Everett is of the same opinion . Pedler claims , however , that more surprising is the melody note drop from B to F# against a III7 ( B7 ) chord on `` understand '' . Music theorists are divided over whether this chord is a iii ( Bm ) , a B major , or a B7 or even a B5 power chord with no major or minor defining third . Lyrically bland , random phrases were most likely called out and if they fitted the overall sound would stay . This , according to Ian MacDonald , was how Lennon and McCartney worked in partnership at that time . The song 's title is probably a variation of `` I Wanna Be Your Man '' which they had only just recently recorded at Abbey Road Studios . In the studio ( edit ) The Beatles recorded `` I Want to Hold Your Hand '' at EMI Studios in Studio 2 on 17 October 1963 . This song , along with the single 's flip side , `` This Boy '' , was the first Beatles song to be recorded with four - track technology . The two songs were recorded on the same day , and each needed seventeen takes to complete . Mono and stereo mixing was done by George Martin on 21 October 1963 ; further stereo mixes were done on 8 June 1965 , for compilations released by EMI affiliates in Australia and the Netherlands , and on 7 November 1966 . `` I Want to Hold Your Hand '' was one of two Beatles songs ( along with `` She Loves You '' as `` Sie liebt dich '' ) to be later recorded in German , entitled `` Komm , gib mir deine Hand '' . Both songs were translated by Luxembourger musician Camillo Felgen , under the pseudonym of `` Jean Nicolas '' . Odeon , the German arm of EMI ( the parent company of the Beatles ' record label , Parlophone ) was convinced that the Beatles ' records would not sell in Germany unless they were sung in German . The Beatles detested the idea , and when they were due to record the German version on 27 January 1964 at EMI 's Pathe Marconi Studios in Paris ( where the Beatles were performing 18 days of concerts at the Olympia Theatre ) they chose to boycott the session . Their record producer , George Martin , having waited some hours for them to show up , was outraged and insisted that they give it a try . Two days later , the Beatles recorded `` Komm , gib mir deine Hand '' , one of the few times in their career that they recorded outside London . However , Martin later conceded : `` They were right , actually , it was n't necessary for them to record in German , but they were n't graceless , they did a good job '' . `` Komm , gib mir deine Hand '' was released as a German single in March 1964 . In July , the song appeared in full stereo in the United States on the Beatles ' Capitol LP Something New . ( That album was released in CD form for the first time in 2004 , on The Capitol Albums , Volume 1 , and then rereleased in 2014 , individually and in the boxed set The US Albums . ) `` Komm , gib mir deine Hand '' also appeared on the compilations Past Masters and Mono Masters . The German - language track was a big hit in Germany at the time , but today , like all the other German - lyrics versions of English - language pop songs that were popular in that country during the 1950s and 1960s , it is generally considered as a cultural curiosity from a by - gone era at best . The English versions are much better known in Germany today ; the Beatles ' Red and Blue albums of the 1970s already featured the English hits on the German pressings . Promotion and release ( edit ) In the United Kingdom , `` She Loves You '' ( released in August ) had shot back to the number - one position in November following blanket media coverage of the Beatles ( described as Beatlemania ) . Mark Lewisohn later wrote : `` ' She Loves You ' had already sold an industry - boggling three quarters of a million before these fresh converts were pushing it into seven figures . And at this very moment , just four weeks before Christmas , with everyone connected to the music and relevant retail industries already lying prone in paroxysms of unimaginable delight , EMI pulled the trigger and released ' I Want to Hold Your Hand ' . And then it was bloody pandemonium '' . On 29 November 1963 , Parlophone Records released `` I Want to Hold Your Hand '' in the UK , with `` This Boy '' joining it on the single 's B - side . Demand had been building for quite a while , as evidenced by the one million advance orders for the single . When it was finally released , the response was phenomenal . A week after it entered the British charts , on 14 December 1963 , it knocked `` She Loves You '' off the top spot , the first instance of an act taking over from itself at number one in British history , and it clung to the top spot for five weeks . It stayed in the charts for another 15 weeks and made a one - week return to the charts on 16 May 1964 . Beatlemania was peaking at that time ; during the same period , the Beatles set a record by occupying the top two positions on both the album and single charts in the UK . EMI and Brian Epstein finally convinced American label Capitol Records , a subsidiary of EMI , that the Beatles could make an impact in the US , leading to the release of `` I Want to Hold Your Hand '' with `` I Saw Her Standing There '' on the B - side as a single on 26 December 1963 . Capitol had previously resisted issuing Beatle recordings in the US . This resulted in the relatively modest Vee - Jay and Swan labels releasing the group 's earlier Parlophone counterparts in the US . Seizing the opportunity , Epstein demanded US $40,000 from Capitol to promote the single ( the most the Beatles had ever previously spent on an advertising campaign was US $5,000 ) . The single had actually been intended for release in mid-January 1964 , coinciding with the planned appearance of the Beatles on The Ed Sullivan Show . However , a 14 - year - old fan of the Beatles , Marsha Albert , was determined to get hold of the single earlier . Later she said : `` It was n't so much what I had seen , it 's what I had heard . They had a scene where they played a clip of ' She Loves You ' and I thought it was a great song ... I wrote that I thought the Beatles would be really popular here , and if ( deejay Carroll James ) could get one of their records , that would really be great . '' James was the DJ for WWDC , a radio station in Washington , DC . Eventually he decided to pursue Albert 's suggestion to him and asked the station 's promotion director to get British Overseas Airways Corporation to ship in a copy of `` I Want to Hold Your Hand '' from Britain . Albert related what happened next : `` Carroll James called me up the day he got the record and said ' If you can get down here by 5 o'clock , we 'll let you introduce it . ' '' Albert managed to get to the station in time , and introduced the record with : `` Ladies and gentlemen , for the first time on the air in the United States , here are the Beatles singing ' I Want to Hold Your Hand . ' '' The song proved to be a huge hit , a surprise for the station since they catered mainly to a more staid audience , which would normally be expecting songs from singers such as Andy Williams or Bobby Vinton instead of rock and roll . James took to playing the song repeatedly on the station , often turning down the song in the middle to make the declaration , `` This is a Carroll James exclusive '' , to avoid theft of the song by other stations . Capitol threatened to seek a court order banning airplay of `` I Want to Hold Your Hand '' , which was already being spread by James to a couple of DJs in Chicago and St. Louis . James and WWDC ignored the threat , and Capitol came to the conclusion that they could well take advantage of the publicity , releasing the single two weeks ahead of schedule on 26 December . The demand was insatiable ; in the first three days alone , a quarter million copies had already been sold ( 10,000 copies In New York City every hour ) . Capitol was so overloaded by the demand , it contracted part of the job of pressing copies off to Columbia Records and RCA . By 18 January , the song had started its 15 - week chart run , and on 1 February , the Beatles finally achieved their first number - one in Billboard , emulating the success of another British group , the Tornados with `` Telstar '' , which was number one on the Billboard chart for three weeks in December 1962 . `` I Want to Hold Your Hand '' finally relinquished the number - one spot after seven weeks , passing the baton to the very song they had knocked off the top in Britain : `` She Loves You '' . `` I Want to Hold Your Hand '' sold close to five million copies in the US alone . The replacement of themselves at the summit of the US charts was the first time since Elvis Presley in 1956 , with `` Love Me Tender '' beating out `` Do n't Be Cruel '' , that an act had dropped off the top of the American charts only to be replaced by another of their releases . `` I Want to Hold Your Hand '' also finished as the No. 1 song for 1964 , according to Billboard . In 2013 , Billboard listed it as the 44th most successful song of all - time on the Hot 100 . With that , the `` British Invasion '' of America had been launched . Throughout 1964 , British pop and rock artists enjoyed unprecedented success on the American charts . The American single 's front and back sleeves featured a photograph of the Beatles with Paul McCartney holding a cigarette . In 1984 , Capitol Records airbrushed out the cigarette for the re-release of the single . `` I Want to Hold Your Hand '' was also released in America on the album Meet the Beatles ! , which altered the American charts by actually outselling the single . Beforehand , the American markets were more in favour of hit singles instead of whole albums ; however , two months after the album 's release , it had shipped 3,650,000 copies , over 200,000 ahead of the `` I Want to Hold Your Hand '' single at 3,400,000 . The song was included on the 1964 Canadian release The Beatles ' Long Tall Sally . The November 1966 stereo remix appeared on 1966 's A Collection of Beatles Oldies , and on several later Beatles compilation albums , including 1973 's 1962 -- 1966 , 1982 's 20 Greatest Hits , and 2000 's 1 . The 2009 CD rerelease of the Beatles ' catalog included the 1966 stereo remix on Past Masters and the original mono mix on Mono Masters . Reception ( edit ) The song was greeted by raving fans on both sides of the Atlantic but was dismissed by some critics as nothing more than another fad song that would not hold up to the test of time . Cynthia Lowery of the Associated Press expressed her exasperation with Beatlemania by saying of the Beatles : `` Heaven knows we 've heard them enough . It has been impossible to get a radio weather bulletin or time signal without running into ' I Want to Hold Your Hand ' . '' Bob Dylan was impressed by the Beatles ' innovation , saying , `` They were doing things nobody was doing . Their chords were outrageous , just outrageous , and their harmonies made it all valid . '' For a time Dylan thought the Beatles were singing `` I get high '' instead of `` I ca n't hide '' . He was surprised when he met them and found out that none of them had actually smoked marijuana . The Beach Boys ' Brian Wilson said the song `` was n't even that great a record , but they ( female Beatles fans ) just screamed at it ... It got us off our asses in the studio . We started cutting -- we said ' look , do n't worry about the Beatles , we 'll cut our own stuff . '' The song was nominated for the Grammy Award for Record of the Year , but the award went to Astrud Gilberto and Stan Getz for `` The Girl from Ipanema '' . However , in 1998 , the song won the Grammy Hall of Fame Award . It has also made the list in The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame 's 500 Songs that Shaped Rock and Roll . In addition , the Recording Industry Association of America , the National Endowment for the Arts and Scholastic Press have named `` I Want to Hold Your Hand '' as one of the Songs of the Century . In 2004 , it was ranked number 16 on Rolling Stone 's list of `` The 500 Greatest Songs of All Time '' . In 2010 , Rolling Stone placed the song at number two on the 100 Greatest Beatles Songs after `` A Day in the Life '' . It was ranked number two in Mojo 's list on the `` 100 Records That Changed the World '' , after Little Richard 's `` Tutti Frutti '' . The song was ranked number thirty - nine on Billboard 's All Time Top 100 As of August 2015 , `` I Want to Hold Your Hand '' is ranked as the 45th best song of all time , as well as the number three song of 1963 , in an aggregation of critics ' lists at acclaimedmusic.net . Time included the song on its list of the All - TIME 100 Songs . The Beatles ' recording of this song also appeared as the opening track in the 1997 Time - Life 6 - CD boxed set , Gold And Platinum : The Ultimate Rock Collection . Starting at the song 's final week at number 1 on the American charts , the Beatles have the all - time record of seven number 1 songs in a one - year period . In order , these were `` I Want to Hold Your Hand '' , `` She Loves You '' , `` Ca n't Buy Me Love '' , `` Love Me Do '' , `` A Hard Day 's Night '' , `` I Feel Fine '' , and `` Eight Days a Week '' . It was also the first of seven songs written by Lennon - McCartney to hit number 1 on the US charts in 1964 ; that 's an all - time record for writing the most songs to hit number 1 on the US charts in the same calendar year .

The song has no real `` lead '' singer , as Lennon and McCartney sing in harmony with each other . Lennon 's vocals are more prominent on the recording and on the live bootleg BBC version ; however , when the Beatles performed the song on The Ed Sullivan Show on 9 February 1964 , McCartney 's vocals could be heard more clearly ( although this may have been due to the audio mix , as their microphones were not turned to the same sound level ) .

The members , after being court - martialed `` for a crime they did n't commit '' , escaped from military prison and , while still on the run , worked as soldiers of fortune . The series was created by Stephen J. Cannell and Frank Lupo . A feature film based on the series was released by 20th Century Fox in 2010 .

Cannell and Frank Lupo at the behest of Brandon Tartikoff , NBC 's Entertainment president . Cannell was fired from ABC in the early 1980s , after failing to produce a hit show for the network , and was hired by NBC ; his first project was The A-Team . Brandon Tartikoff pitched the series to Cannell as a combination of The Dirty Dozen , Mission Impossible , The Magnificent Seven , Mad Max and Hill Street Blues , with `` Mr. T driving the car '' . The A-Team was not generally expected to become a hit , although Stephen J. Cannell has said that George Peppard suggested it would be a huge hit `` before we ever turned on a camera '' . The show became very popular ; the first regular episode , which aired after Super Bowl XVII on January 30 , 1983 , reached 26.4 % of the television audience , placing fourth in the top 10 Nielsen - rated shows . The A-Team was portrayed as acting on the side of good and helping the oppressed . The show remains prominent in popular culture for its cartoonish , over-the - top violence ( in which people were seldom seriously hurt ) , formulaic episodes , its characters ' ability to form weaponry and vehicles out of old parts , and its distinctive theme tune . The show boosted the career of Mr. T , who portrayed the character of B.A. Baracus , around whom the show was initially conceived . Some of the show 's catchphrases , such as `` I love it when a plan comes together '' , `` Hannibal 's on the jazz '' , and `` I ai n't gettin ' on no plane ! '' have also made their way onto T - shirts and other merchandise . The show 's name comes from the `` A-Teams '' , the nickname coined for U.S. Special Forces ' Operational Detachments Alpha ( ODA ) during the Vietnam War , although this connection was never mentioned on - screen . In a 2003 Yahoo ! survey of 1,000 television viewers , The A-Team was voted the one `` oldie '' television show viewers would most like to see revived , beating out such popular television series from the 1980s as The Dukes of Hazzard and Knight Rider . Plot ( edit ) `` In 1972 , a crack commando unit was sent to prison by a military court for a crime they did n't commit . These men promptly escaped from a maximum security stockade to the Los Angeles underground . Today , still wanted by the government , they survive as soldiers of fortune . If you have a problem , if no one else can help , and if you can find them , maybe you can hire ... the A-Team . '' ( Narration originally stated `` 10 years ago '' instead of `` In 1972 '' . ) - John Ashley 's opening narration . The A-Team is a naturally episodic show , with few overarching stories , except the characters ' continuing motivation to clear their names , with few references to events in past episodes and a recognizable and steady episode structure . In describing the ratings drop that occurred during the show 's fourth season , reviewer Gold Burt points to this structure as being a leading cause for the decreased popularity `` because the same basic plot had been used over and over again for the past four seasons with the same predictable outcome '' . Similarly , reporter Adrian Lee called the plots `` stunningly simple '' in a 2006 article for The Express ( UK newspaper ) , citing such recurring elements `` as BA 's fear of flying , and outlandish finales when the team fashioned weapons from household items '' . The show became emblematic of this kind of `` fit - for - TV warfare '' due to its depiction of high - octane combat scenes , with lethal weapons , wherein the participants ( with the notable exception of General Fulbright ) are never killed and rarely seriously injured ( see also On - screen violence section ) . As the television ratings of The A-Team fell dramatically during the fourth season , the format was changed for the show 's final season in 1986 -- 87 in a bid to win back viewers . After years on the run from the authorities , the A-Team is finally apprehended by the military . General Hunt Stockwell , a mysterious CIA operative played by Robert Vaughn , propositions them to work for him , whereupon he will arrange for their pardons upon successful completion of several suicide missions . In order to do so , the A-Team must first escape from their captivity . With the help of a new character , Frankie `` Dishpan Man '' Santana , Stockwell fakes their deaths before a military firing squad . The new status of the A-Team , no longer working for themselves , remained for the duration of the fifth season while Eddie Velez and Robert Vaughn received star billing along with the principal cast . The missions that the team had to perform in season five were somewhat reminiscent of Mission : Impossible , and based more around political espionage than beating local thugs , also usually taking place in foreign countries , including successfully overthrowing an island dictator , the rescue of a scientist from East Germany , and recovering top secret Star Wars defense information from Soviet hands . These changes proved unsuccessful with viewers , however , and ratings continued to decline . Only 13 episodes aired in the fifth season . In what was supposed to be the final episode , `` The Grey Team '' ( although `` Without Reservations '' was broadcast on NBC as the last first - run episode in March 1987 ) , Hannibal , after being misled by Stockwell one time too many , tells him that the team will no longer work for him . At the end , the team discusses what they were going to do if they get their pardon , and it is implied that they would continue doing what they were doing as the A-Team . The character of Howling Mad Murdock can be seen in the final scene wearing a T - shirt that says , `` Fini '' . Connections to the Vietnam War ( edit ) During the Vietnam War , the A-Team were members of the 5th Special Forces Group ( see episode `` West Coast Turnaround '' ) . In episode `` Bad Time on the Border '' , Colonel John `` Hannibal '' Smith , portrayed by George Peppard , indicated that the A-Team were `` ex-Green Berets '' . During the Vietnam War , the A-Team's commanding officer , Colonel Morrison , gave them orders to rob the Bank of Hanoi to help bring the war to an end . They succeeded in their mission , but on their return to base four days after the end of the war , they discovered that Morrison had been killed by the Viet Cong , and that his headquarters had been burned to the ground . This meant that the proof that the A-Team members were acting under orders had been destroyed . They were arrested , and imprisoned at Fort Bragg , from which they quickly escaped before standing trial . The origin of the A-Team is directly linked to the Vietnam War , during which the team formed . The show 's introduction in the first four seasons mentions this , accompanied by images of soldiers coming out of a helicopter in an area resembling a forest or jungle . Besides this , The A-Team would occasionally feature an episode in which the team came across an old ally or enemy from those war days . For example , the first season 's final episode `` A Nice Place To Visit '' revolved around the team traveling to a small town to honor a fallen comrade and end up avenging his death , and in season two 's `` Recipe For Heavy Bread '' , a chance encounter leads the team to meet both the POW cook who helped them during the war , and the American officer who sold his unit out . An article in the New Statesman ( UK ) published shortly after the premiere of The A-Team in the United Kingdom , also pointed out The A-Team's connection to the Vietnam War , characterizing it as the representation of the idealization of the Vietnam War , and an example of the war slowly becoming accepted and assimilated into American culture . One of the team 's primary antagonists , Col. Roderick Decker ( Lance LeGault ) , had his past linked back to the Vietnam War , in which he and Hannibal had come to fisticuffs in `` the DOOM Club '' ( Da Nang Open Officers ' Mess ) . At other times , members of the team would refer back to a certain tactic used during the War , which would be relevant to the team 's present predicament . Often , Hannibal would refer to such a tactic , after which the other members of the team would complain about its failure during the War . This was also used to refer to some of Face 's past accomplishments in scamming items for the team , such as in the first - season episode `` Holiday In The Hills '' , in which Murdock fondly remembers Face being able to secure a ' 53 Cadillac while in the Vietnam jungle . The team 's ties to the Vietnam War were referred to again in the fourth - season finale , `` The Sound of Thunder '' , in which the team is introduced to Tia ( Tia Carrere ) , a war orphan and daughter of fourth season antagonist General Fulbright . Returning to Vietnam , Fulbright is shot in the back and gives his last words as he dies . The 2006 documentary Bring Back The A-Team joked that the scene lasted seven and a half minutes , but his death actually took a little over a minute . His murderer , a Vietnamese colonel , is killed in retaliation . Tia then returns with the team to the United States ( see also : casting ) . This episode is notable for having one of the show 's few truly serious dramatic moments , with each team member privately reminiscing on their war experiences , intercut with news footage from the war with Barry McGuire 's Eve of Destruction playing in the background . The show 's ties to the Vietnam War are fully dealt with in the opening arc of the fifth season , dubbed `` The Court - Martial ( Part 1 -- 3 ) '' , in which the team is finally court - martialed for the robbery of the bank of Hanoi . The character of Roderick Decker makes a return on the witness stand , and various newly introduced characters from the A-Team's past also make appearances . The team , after a string of setbacks , decides to plead guilty to the crime and they are sentenced to be executed . They escape this fate and come to work for a General Hunt Stockwell , leading into the remainder of the fifth season . Episodes ( edit ) See also : List of The A-Team episodes The show ran for five seasons on the NBC television network , from January 23 , 1983 to December 30 , 1986 ( with one additional , previously unbroadcast episode shown on March 8 , 1987 ) , for a total of 98 episodes . Characters ( edit ) The main cast of The A-Team . Clockwise from top : H.M. `` Howlin ' Mad '' Murdock , B.A. Baracus , John `` Hannibal '' Smith and Templeton `` Faceman '' Peck . Main article : List of The A-Team characters The A-Team revolves around the four members of a former commando outfit , now mercenaries . Their leader is Lieutenant Colonel / Colonel John `` Hannibal '' Smith ( George Peppard ) , whose plans tend to be unorthodox but effective . Lieutenant Templeton Peck ( Dirk Benedict ; Tim Dunigan appeared as Templeton Peck in the pilot ) , usually called `` Face '' or `` Faceman '' , is a smooth - talking con man who serves as the team 's appropriator of vehicles and other useful items , as well as the team 's second - in - command . The team 's pilot is Captain H.M. `` Howling Mad '' Murdock ( Dwight Schultz ) , who has been declared insane and lives in a Veterans ' Administration mental institution for the show 's first four seasons . Finally , there is the team 's strong man , mechanic and Sergeant First Class Bosco `` B.A. '' , or `` Bad Attitude '' , Baracus ( Mr. T ) . The team belonged to the 5th Special Forces as seen in the left side shoulder patch on Hannibal 's uniform in the episode A Nice Place to Visit . A patch on Hannibal 's uniform on the right shoulder in the episode `` A Nice Place To Visit '' indicates he belonged to the 101st Airborne during a prior combat assignment , but that patch was replaced by the 1st Air Cavalry Division patch in the episode `` Trial by Fire '' . The patch worn on the left sleeve according to uniform wear in the Army is the current assignment of the person wearing it and in the episode A Nice Place to Visit shows that the team was assigned to the Special Forces with a tab Airborne over the shoulder patch . Also their berets in that episode are green and have the tab of the 5th Special Forces in Vietnam on them . In the episode `` West Coast Turnaround '' , Hannibal stated they were with the 5th Special Forces Group . Then , in episode `` Bad Time on the Border '' , Hannibal refers to his friends as `` ex-Green Berets '' . Though the name they have adopted comes from the `` A-Teams '' , the nickname coined for Special Forces Operational Detachments Alpha , these detachments usually consisted of twelve members ; whether the four were considered a `` detachment '' of their own or had once had eight compatriots who were killed in action was never revealed . In the episode A Nice Place to Visit Ray Brenner is stated to have been a Major and part of Hannibal 's team in Vietnam . For its first season and the first half of the second season , the team was assisted by reporter Amy Amanda Allen ( Melinda Culea ) . In the second half of the second season , Allen was replaced by fellow reporter Tawnia Baker ( Marla Heasley ) . The character of Tia ( Tia Carrere ) , a Vietnam war orphan now living in the United States , was meant to join the Team in the fifth season , but she was replaced by Frankie Santana ( Eddie Velez ) , who served as the team 's special effects expert . Velez was added to the opening credits of the fifth season after its second episode . During their adventures , the A-Team was constantly met by opposition from the Military Police . In the show 's first season , the MPs were led by Colonel Francis Lynch ( William Lucking ) , but he was replaced for the second , third , and earlier fourth season by Colonel Roderick Decker ( Lance LeGault ) and his aide Captain Crane ( Carl Franklin ) . Lynch returned for one episode in the show 's third season ( `` Showdown ! '' ) but was not seen after . Decker was also briefly replaced by a Colonel Briggs ( Charles Napier ) in the third season for one episode ( `` Fire '' ) when LeGault was unavailable , but returned shortly after . For the latter portion of the show 's fourth season , the team was hunted by General Harlan `` Bull '' Fulbright ( Jack Ging ) , who would later hire the A-Team to find Tia in the season four finale , during which Fulbright was killed . The fifth season introduced General Hunt Stockwell ( Robert Vaughn ) who , while serving as the team 's primary antagonist , was also the team 's boss and joined them on several missions . He was often assisted by Carla ( Judith Ledford , sometimes credited as Judy Ledford ) . Character traits ( edit ) John `` Hannibal '' Smith is a master of disguise . His most used disguise ( onscreen only on the pilot episode ) is Mr. Lee , the dry cleaner . This is one of the final parts of the client screening process , as he tells the client where to go in order to make full contact with the A-Team . He dresses most often in a white safari jacket and black leather gloves . He also is constantly seen smoking a cigar . Hannibal carries either a Browning Hi - Power , Colt M1911A1 or a Smith & Wesson Model 39 as a sidearm , most often `` Mexican carried '' although he uses a holster when on missions . His catchphrase is `` I love it when a plan comes together '' . Often said , usually by B.A. , to be `` on the jazz '' when in the fury of completing a mission . Templeton `` Faceman '' Peck is a master of the persuasive arts . The team 's scrounger , he can get virtually anything he sets his mind to , usually exploiting women with sympathy - appeal and flirtation . However , he is not without integrity , as stated by Murdock in the episode `` Family Reunion '' : `` He would rip the shirt off his back for you , and then scam one for himself . '' Faceman is also the A-Team's accountant . He dresses suavely , often appearing in suits . Faceman carries a Colt Lawman Mk III revolver for protection , and drives a custom white 1984 Corvette with orange trim . Bosco `` B.A. '' ( Bad Attitude ) Baracus is the muscle for the A-Team , able to perform amazing feats of strength . He is also the team 's mechanic . B.A. affects a dislike for Murdock , calling him a `` crazy fool '' , but his true feelings of friendship are revealed when he prevents Murdock from drowning in his desire to live like a fish . B.A. also has a deep fear of flying , and the others usually have to trick and / or knock him out in order to get him on a plane . It is very rare that B.A. is awake while flying , and even rarer for him actually to consent to it . When he does , however , he then goes into a catatonic state . B.A. generally wears overalls and leopard or tiger print shirts in the early seasons , then later wears a green jumpsuit in the later seasons . He is almost always seen with about 50 pounds of gold necklaces and rings on every finger , and also wears a weightlifting belt . Baracus 's hair is always styled in a mohawk - like cut . He drives a customized black GMC van , which is the team 's usual mode of transport . H.M. `` Howling Mad '' Murdock is the A-Team's pilot , and can fly any kind of aircraft with extreme precision . However , due to a helicopter crash in Vietnam , Murdock apparently went insane . He lives in a Veterans ' Hospital in the mental wing . Whenever the rest of the team requires a pilot , they have to break him out of the hospital , generally using Faceman to do so . In Seasons 1 -- 4 , Murdock has a different pet , imaginary friend , or persona in each episode . Whenever one of his pets or imaginary friends is killed by an enemy , Murdock snaps and takes revenge ( but never kills ) . Many times , when B.A is mad at Murdock for being crazy , Hannibal will side with Murdock in a sympathetic way . Once he is discharged from the hospital in Season 5 , Murdock has a different job each episode . Murdock usually wears a leather flight jacket , a baseball cap , and basketball sneakers . Casting ( edit ) Although the part of Face was written by Frank Lupo and Stephen J. Cannell with Dirk Benedict in mind , NBC insisted that the part should be played by another actor , instead . Therefore , in the pilot , Face was portrayed by Tim Dunigan , who was later replaced by Dirk Benedict , with the comment that Dunigan was `` too tall and too young '' . According to Dunigan : `` I look even younger on camera than I am . So it was difficult to accept me as a veteran of the Vietnam War , which ended when I was a sophomore in high school . '' Carrere was intended to join the principal cast of the show in its fifth season after appearing in the season four finale , providing a tie to the team 's inception during the war . Unfortunately for this plan , Carrere was under contract to General Hospital , which prevented her from joining The A-Team . Her character was abruptly dropped as a result . According to Mr. T 's account in Bring Back ... The A-Team in 2006 , the role of B.A. Baracus was written specifically for him . This is corroborated by Stephen J. Cannell 's own account of the initial concept proposed by Tartikoff . James Coburn , who co-starred in The Magnificent Seven , was considered for the role of Hannibal in The A-Team , while George Peppard ( Hannibal ) was the original consideration for the role of Vin ( played by Steve McQueen instead ) in The Magnificent Seven . Robert Vaughn , of course , actually appeared in the film . According to Dirk Benedict , Robert Vaughn was actually added to the cast in season 5 because of his friendship with the notoriously prickly George Peppard . It was hoped that Vaughn would help ease worsening tensions between Peppard and Mr. T. In a later interview , Vaughn recounted how T 's verbosity and loud personality would get on everyone 's nerves , including his , even though he had been hired specifically because of his easy going and calming personality . Notable guest appearances ( edit ) Main article : List of guest stars on The A-Team Notable guest stars included : Dean Stockwell as Officer Collins in `` A Small & Deadly War '' . Wendy Fulton as Kelly Stevens in `` Bounty '' . Fulton and Dwight Schultz had married a few years before the episode , and the episode plays on the theme of Kelly and Murdock falling in love . Boy George as himself in `` Cowboy George '' . Isaac Hayes as C.J. Mack in `` The Heart of Rock n ' Roll '' . Hulk Hogan as himself in `` Body Slam '' and `` The Trouble With Harry '' . In `` Body Slam '' , other WWF wrestlers such as The British Bulldogs and `` Mr Wonderful '' Paul Orndorff also made a cameo appearance . Rick James as himself in `` The Heart of Rock n ' Roll '' . David McCallum as Ivan Trigorin in `` The Say U.N.C.L.E. Affair '' . McCallum guest stars as a former associate of Robert Vaughn 's character General Stockwell . Vaughn and McCallum had co-starred together as friendly American and Russian secret agents in The Man from U.N.C.L.E. . This The A-Team episode sent up many aspects of the classic series , such as Stockwell saying `` Open Channel D '' ( an U.N.C.L.E. catchphrase ) . Joe Namath as T.J. Bryant in `` Quarterback Sneak '' , season 5 , episode 4 . William `` The Refrigerator '' Perry as himself in `` The Trouble With Harry '' . Markie Post as Rina Turian in `` Hot Styles '' and Sister Teresa / Leslie Becktall in `` The Only Church in Town '' . Pat Sajak as himself in `` Wheel of Fortune '' . Vanna White as herself in `` Wheel of Fortune '' . Yaphet Kotto as Charles F. Struthers in `` The Out of Towners '' . Shecky Greene as himself roasting Gen. Harlan `` Bull '' Fulbright , in `` Members Only '' . Della Reese as Mrs. Baracus in `` A Lease with an Option to Die '' . Steven Keats in the episode `` Harder than it Looks '' before co-starring in All My Children . Professor Tanaka in episode `` The Spy Who Mugged Me '' Reception ( edit ) During the show 's first three seasons , The A-Team managed to pull in 17 % to 20 % of the American households on average . The first regular episode ( `` Children of Jamestown '' ) , reached 26.4 % of the television watching audience , placing fourth in the top 10 rated shows , according to the Nielsen ratings . By March , The A-Team , now on its regular Tuesday timeslot , dropped to the eight spot , but rated a 20.5 % . During the sweeps week in May of that year , The A-Team dropped again but remained steady at 18.5 % , and rose to 18.8 % during the second week of May sweeps . These were the highest ratings NBC had achieved in five years . During the second season , the ratings continued to soar , reaching third place in the twenty - highest rated programs , behind Dallas and Simon & Simon , in January ( mid-season ) , while during the third season , it was beaten out only by four other NBC shows , including The Cosby Show . The fourth season saw The A-Team experience a dramatic fall , as it started to lose its position while television viewership increased . As such , the ratings , while stable , were relatively less . The season premiere ranked a 17.4 % ( a 26 % audience share on that timeslot ) on the Nielsen Rating scale , but after ratings quickly declined . In October , The A-Team had fallen to the 19th and by Super Bowl Night had fallen still to 29th the night on which the show had originally scored its first hit three years before . For the remainder of its fourth season The A-Team managed to hang around the 20th spot , far from original top 10 position it had enjoyed during its first three seasons . After four years on Tuesday , NBC decided to move The A-Team to a new timeslot on Friday for what would be its final season . Ratings continued to drop , and after seven episodes , The A-Team fell out of the top 50 altogether with a 13.3 Nielsen Rating . In November 1986 , NBC cancelled the series , declining to order the last nine episodes of what would have been a 22 - episode season .

It has also remained popular overseas , such as in the United Kingdom , where the show has been on - air almost continuously in some form since it was first shown in July 1983 . It is airing on satellite and cable channel Esquire Network . The series was to begin airing over NBC - TV 's OTA digital subchannel network , Cozi TV , in January 2016 . Forces TV started showing the series every weekday since October 17 , 2016 . The series has been airing in Spanish on Telemundo - TV 's OTA digital subchannel network , TeleXitos since December 2014 . The series is currently available through Starz . International ( edit ) The A-Team has been broadcast all over the world ; international response has been varied . In 1984 , the main cast members of The A-Team , George Peppard , Mr. T , Dirk Benedict and Dwight Schultz were invited to the Netherlands . George Peppard was the first to receive the invitation and thus thought the invite pertained only to him . When the other cast members were also invited , Peppard declined , leaving only Mr. T , Benedict and Schultz to visit the Netherlands . The immense turn - out for the stars was unpredicted , and they were forced to leave early as a security measure . A video was released with the present actors in which Dwight Schultz apologized and thanked everyone that had attended . In Australia The A-Team was broadcast on Channel Ten . From 2010 7mate has been showing reruns of show . The show was broadcast in New Zealand on TV2 . In Brazil , the series was broadcast on SBT from 1984 to 1989 , later moving to Rede Globo in the early 1990s . In the UK , the program was shown on ITV , starting on Friday , July 22 , 1983 ; when it return for its second run ( resuming mid-second season ) it moved to Saturday evenings . The series continued to be repeated on ITV until 1994 . The series was later repeated on UK Gold from 1997 through 2007 at various times . Then in 2002 it took a break from the channel before returning 2005 to 2006 . It was also repeated on Bravo from 1997 to 1999 . It returned to the channel in 2009 . In 2017 the digital channel Spike began showing the series from the beginning . Although ratings soared during its early seasons , many television critics described the show largely as cartoonish and thereby wrote the series off . Most reviews focused on acting and the formulaic nature of the episodes , most prominently the absence of actual killing in a show about Vietnam War veterans . They are all Vietnam veterans . The gradual assimilation of Vietnam into acceptable popular mythology , which began solemnly with The Deer Hunter , has reached its culmination with The A-Team : No longer a memory to be hurriedly brushed aside , but heroes of a network adventure show . Their enemy is a comic army officer , Col. Lynch , see Sgt . Bilko , see Beetle Bailey , see M * A * S * H * , whose pursuit of our heroes is doomed to slapstick failure . This is classic right - wing American populism ; patriotic , macho , anti-authority , and is unlikely to be understood in Britain , where to be right - wing implies an obsequiousness towards officers and the status quo . But right - wing this series certainly is . The bandits , it turns out , are in league with a group of sinister guerrillas who are trying to destabilise the country . Thanks to the A-Team's hearts and minds policy , the villagers rise up and put them to rout , in a 20 - minute series of comic - book battle scenes , over-turning cars and airplane stunt - tricks , in which not a single person is hurt . Mary Harron , New Statesman Criticisms ( edit ) On - screen violence ( edit ) The violence presented in The A-Team is highly sanitized . People do not bleed or bruise when hit ( though they might develop a limp or require a sling ) , nor do the members of the A-Team kill people . The results of violence were only ever presented when it was required for the script . In almost every car crash there is a short take showing the occupants of the vehicle climbing out of the mangled or burning wreck , even in helicopter crashes . However , more of these types of takes were dropped near the end of the fourth season . According to Stephen J. Cannell , this part of the show did become a running joke for the writing staff and they would at times test the limits of realism on purpose . The show has been described as cartoonish and likened to Tom and Jerry . Dean P. of the Courier - Mail described the violence in the show as `` hypocritical '' and that `` the morality of giving the impression that a hail of bullets does no - one any harm is ignored . After all , Tom and Jerry survived all sorts of mayhem for years with no ill - effects . '' Television reviewer Ric Meyers joked that the A-Team used `` antineutron bullets -- they destroy property for miles around , but never harm a human being '' . According to certain estimates , an episode of the A-Team held up to 46 violent acts . Stephen J. Cannell , co-creator of the show responds : `` They were determined to make a point , and we were too big a target to resist . Cartoon violence is a scapegoat issue . '' Originally , The A-Team's status as a hit show remained strong , but it ultimately lost out to more family - oriented shows such as The Cosby Show , Who 's the Boss ? and Growing Pains . John J. O'Connor of The New York Times wrote in a 1986 article that `` ... a substantial number of viewers , if the ratings in recent months are to be believed , are clearly fed up with mindless violence of the car - chasing , fist - slugging variety '' . Sexism ( edit ) During its tenure , the show was occasionally criticized for being sexist . These critiques were based on the notion that most female roles on the show were either a lead - in to the episode 's plot , the recipient of Face 's affections , or both . The only two regular female members of the cast , Melinda Culea ( season 1 and the first half of season 2 ) and Marla Heasley ( the latter half of season 2 ) did not have long tenures with the show . Both Culea and Heasley had been brought in by the network and producers to stem these critiques , hoping that a female character would properly balance the otherwise all - male cast . Culea was fired during the second season because of creative differences between her and the show 's writers ; she wanted more lines and more action scenes . Culea 's character of Amy Allen suddenly disappeared between two episodes , and was only briefly referred to once in the episode `` In Plane Sight '' , and a couple of times in `` The Battle of Bel Air '' in which she was cited to have taken a correspondence job overseas ( in Jakarta , Indonesia ) . The latter episode also introduced Heasley 's character , Tawnia Baker . The new character was also an assisting reporter character , but with a more fragile and seductive quality to her . Ultimately , she was written out of the show at the start of the third season when the network determined that a female cast member was not necessary . Tawnia left the team on - screen , choosing to marry and move out of Los Angeles . As Marla Heasley recounts in Bring Back ... The A-Team ( May 18 , 2006 ) , although sexism was not prevalent on the set per se , there was a sense that a female character was not necessary on the show . On her first day on set George Peppard took her aside and told her `` We do n't want you on the show . None of the guys want you here . The only reason you 're here is because the network and the producers want you . For some reason they think they need a girl . '' The interview continues with Heasley noting that on her last day of work Peppard took her aside again , saying : `` I 'm sorry that this is your last day , but remember what I said the very first day , that we did n't want a girl , has nothing to do with you . You were very professional , but no reason to have a girl . '' In Bring Back ... the A-Team , Dirk Benedict also remarked that : `` It was a guy 's show . It was male driven . It was written by guys . It was directed by guys . It was acted by guys . It 's about what guys do . We talked the way guys talked . We were the boss . We were the God . We smoked when we wanted . We shot guns when we wanted . We kissed the girls and made them cry ... when we wanted . It was the last truly masculine show . '' GMC van ( edit ) The 1983 GMC Vandura van used by the A-Team , with its characteristic red stripe , black and red turbine mag wheels , and rooftop spoiler , has become an enduring pop culture icon . The customized 1994 Chevrolet G20 used on the A-Team movie was also on display at the 2010 New York International Auto Show . A number of devices were seen in the back of the van in different episodes , including a mini printing press ( `` Pros and Cons '' ) , an audio surveillance recording device ( `` A Small and Deadly War '' ) , Hannibal 's disguise kits in various episodes , and a gun storage locker . Early examples of the van had a red GMC logo on the front grille , and an additional GMC logo on the rear left door . Early in the second season , these logos were blacked out , although GMC continued to supply vans and receive a credit on the closing credits of each episode . The van was commonly said to be all - black , but the section above the red stripe was metallic gray . The angle of the rear spoiler can also be seen to vary on different examples of the van within the series . Additionally , some versions of the van have a sunroof , whereas others , typically those used for stunts ( and including the one displayed in the aforementioned Cars of the Stars Motor Museum ) do not . This led to continuity errors in some episodes , such as in the third season 's `` The Bells of St. Mary 's '' , in a scene where Face ( his double ) jumps from a building onto the roof of the van with no sunroof . Moments later , in an interior studio shot , Face climbs in through the sunroof . Also , in many stunts where the van would surely be totaled , other makes have been used , such as a black Ford Econoline with red hubcaps painted to simulate the original red turbine mag wheels . Many GMC / Chevrolet Vandura vans , and many of the very similar Bedford CF vans , were styled after the A-Team's van by fans of the show . Merchandise ( edit ) The huge success of the series saw a vast array of merchandise , including toys and snacks released both in America and internationally . There were several sets trading cards and stickers , action figures of the characters were produced by Galoob as well as vehicles , including B.A. 's van and Face 's Corvette ( available in several different sizes ) , as well as items such as helicopters , trucks and jeeps to fit in with the line , from model car manufacturer Ertl . Some of the other array of items available included jigsaw puzzles , View - Master reels containing 21 3 - D pictures ( over three reels ) of the second seasonA - Team story `` When You Comin ' Back , Range Rider ? '' , was produced by View - Master International ( available both as a pack of reels , and also as a `` gift set '' with 3 - D viewer ) , an electric race car track with A-Team vehicle covers instead of normal cars , and a TYCO produced train set with various accessories and pieces themed for the A-Team look . The set includes a Baldwin shark nose engine painted up like the Van and a matching Caboose . Following the original cancellation of the series , further merchandise has appeared as the series has achieved cult status , including an A-Team van by `` Hot Wheels '' . In 2016 Lego released a pack that includes a B.A. Baracus minifigure and constructible van ; the pack will unlock additional A-Team themed content in the video game Lego Dimensions , including all four team members as playable characters . Comics ( edit ) Main article : The A-Team ( comics ) Marvel Comics produced a three - issue A-Team comic book series , which was later reprinted as a trade paperback . Similarly , in the United Kingdom , an A-Team comic strip appeared for several years in the 1980s as part of the children 's television magazine and comic Look - In , to tie in with the British run of the series . It was preceded , though , by a short run in the final year ( 1984 ) of TV Comic , drawn by Jim Eldridge . Books ( edit ) Several novels were based on the series , the first six published in America by Dell and in Britain by Target Books ; the last four were only published in Britain . The first six are credited to Charles Heath . The books are generally found in paperback form , although hardback copies ( with different cover artwork ) were also released .

In the United Kingdom from 1985 to 1988 , four Annuals were produced , each consisting of text and comic strip stories , puzzles , and photos of the show 's stars , with a further one produced by Marvel Comics consisting of several reprinted comic strips , released in 1989 / 1990 . A Panini set of stickers , which adapted six TV episodes ( from the first and earlier second season ) using shots from the episodes , could be stick into an accompanying book , with text under each inserted sticker to narrate the story . Video games ( edit ) In 1983 the series was adapted into a video game for the Atari 2600 . The A-Team in 1985 on Commodore 64 . The A-Team in 1989 on Amstrad CPC , DOS , MSX , ZX Spectrum . The A-Team in 2010 on J2ME . Soundtrack ( edit ) The original main theme by Mike Post and Pete Carpenter was released on the vinyl LP Mike Post -- Television Theme Songs ( Elektra Records E1 - 60028Y , 1982 ) and again on the Mike Post -- Mike Post LP ( RCA Records AFL1 - 5183 , 1984 ) , both long out - of - print ; however , this was not the same version of the theme as heard on - screen . The theme , as heard on seasons two through four ( including the opening narration and sound effects ) , was also released on TVT 's Television 's Greatest Hits : 70s and 80s . Though no original music other than the theme has been released , in 1984 EMI issued an album of re-recorded material from the series conducted by Daniel Caine ( reissued by Silva Screen on compact disc in 1999 , SILVAD 3509 ) .

'' and in 1987 ( Outstanding Sound Editing for a Series ) for the episode `` Firing Line '' . Professional wrestlers ( edit ) The show featured professional wrestlers such as Hulk Hogan , Professor Toru Tanaka , Ricky `` The Dragon '' Steamboat , The Dynamite Kid , Bobby `` The Brain '' Heenan , Davey Boy Smith ( The British Bulldog ) , Big John Studd and Greg `` The Hammer '' Valentine , in most cases playing themselves . In the episode `` Body Slam '' , which featured Hogan , wrestling interviewer and announcer `` Mean '' Gene Okerlund also appeared . In addition , the music video for John Cena 's `` Bad , Bad Man '' ( on Cena 's You Ca n't See Me album ) featured the Chain Gang as a three - man A-Team -- Cena as Hannibal , plus Cena 's cousin Tha Trademarc as Howling Mad and Bumpy Knuckles as B.A. Theme song ( edit ) The opening theme tune was composed by Mike Post and Pete Carpenter . Weapons ( edit ) In early episodes the team used Colt AR - 15 SP1 semi-automatic rifles ( with automatic sound effects , simulating the M16 ) , while in later seasons they used the Ruger Mini-14 , and on rare occasions , the selective fire AC - 556K variant of the Mini-14 . Hannibal is also seen using an M60 machine gun ( which Hannibal called `` Baby '' ) in some episodes as well as a Micro-Uzi . MAC - 11s with parts added to simulate the Uzi appear in at least two early episodes . Hannibal 's sidearms are either a nickel - plated Smith & Wesson Model 59 , or a stainless steel Smith & Wesson Model 639 . Unusually in the episode `` Black Day At Bad Rock '' he is seen carrying a Browning Hi - Power . Many antagonists and members of the team are seen using 1911s as well . Starting from Season 4 , the then - exotic Steyr AUG bullpup rifle also became prominent in the series . `` So many different firearms were used in the 1980s hit ' The A-Team ' that it 's impossible to list them all . For five seasons , the wrongly accused foursome used rifles , handguns , submachine guns and shotguns to bring justice for the little guy while trying to stay out of jail . And the best part had to be that regardless of the number of explosions or rounds fired , nobody ever got seriously hurt except for the occasional flesh wound of a team member . '' As a result , the American Rifleman declared The A-Team the Number One Show on Television to regularly feature firearms . Home media ( edit ) Universal Studios Home Entertainment has released all five seasons of The A-Team on DVD in Region 1 , 2 , and 4 . In Region 2 , a complete series set entitled The A-Team -- The Ultimate Collection was released on October 8 , 2007 . A complete series set was released in Region 1 on June 8 , 2010 .

The A-Team ( 2006 ) ( edit ) On May 18 , 2006 , Channel 4 in the UK attempted to reunite the surviving cast members of The A-Team for the show Bring Back ... in an episode titled `` Bring Back ... The A-Team '' . Justin Lee Collins presented the challenge , securing interviews and appearances from Dirk Benedict , Dwight Schultz , Marla Heasley , Jack Ging , series co-creator Stephen Cannell , and Mr. T . Collins eventually managed to bring together Benedict , Schultz , Heasley , Ging and Cannell , along with William Lucking , Lance LeGault , and George Peppard 's son , Christian . Mr. T was unable to make the meeting , which took place in the Friar 's Club in Beverly Hills , but he did manage to appear on the show for a brief talk with Collins . Feature film ( edit ) Main article : The A-Team ( film ) A feature film based on The A-Team was released on June 11 , 2010 , and was produced by 20th Century Fox . Both Dirk Benedict ( Face ) and Dwight Schultz ( Murdock ) made brief cameo appearances in the film ( as a prisoner using a sunbed and a psychiatrist overseeing Murdock 's shock therapy , respectively ) ; because of timing issues , these scenes were moved to the end of the credits . They were later reinserted for the extended - cut of the film . Reboot series ( edit ) In September 2015 , Fox announced that they were developing a reboot A-Team series with Chris Morgan as executive producer with Cannell 's daughter , Tawnia McKiernan , and Albert Kim writing . The team is to be made up of both male and female characters . See also ( edit ) 1983 in American television Mercenaries in popular culture T.H.E.

Ohm's law
Ohm 's law - wikipedia Ohm 's law Jump to : navigation , search This article is about the law related to electricity . For other uses , see Ohm 's acoustic law . V , I , and R , the parameters of Ohm 's law . Electromagnetism Electricity Magnetism Electrostatics ( show ) Electric charge Static electricity Electric field Conductor Insulator Triboelectricity Electrostatic discharge Induction Coulomb 's law Gauss 's law Electric flux / potential energy Electric dipole moment Polarization density Magnetostatics ( show ) Ampère 's law Magnetic field Magnetization Magnetic flux Biot -- Savart law Magnetic dipole moment Gauss 's law for magnetism Electrodynamics ( show ) Lorentz force law Electromagnetic induction Faraday 's law Lenz 's law Displacement current Magnetic potential Maxwell 's equations Electromagnetic field Electromagnetic pulse Electromagnetic radiation Maxwell tensor Poynting vector Liénard -- Wiechert potential Jefimenko 's equations Eddy current London equations Mathematical descriptions of the electromagnetic field Electrical network ( hide ) Electric current Electric potential Voltage Resistance Ohm 's law Series circuit Parallel circuit Direct current Alternating current Electromotive force Capacitance Inductance Impedance Resonant cavities Waveguides Covariant formulation ( show ) Electromagnetic tensor ( stress -- energy tensor ) Four - current Electromagnetic four - potential Scientists ( show ) Ampère Coulomb Faraday Gauss Heaviside Henry Hertz Lorentz Maxwell Tesla Volta Weber Ørsted Ohm 's law states that the current through a conductor between two points is directly proportional to the voltage across the two points . Introducing the constant of proportionality , the resistance , one arrives at the usual mathematical equation that describes this relationship : I = V R , ( \ displaystyle I = ( \ frac ( V ) ( R ) ) , ) where I is the current through the conductor in units of amperes , V is the voltage measured across the conductor in units of volts , and R is the resistance of the conductor in units of ohms . More specifically , Ohm 's law states that the R in this relation is constant , independent of the current . The law was named after the German physicist Georg Ohm , who , in a treatise published in 1827 , described measurements of applied voltage and current through simple electrical circuits containing various lengths of wire . Ohm explained his experimental results by a slightly more complex equation than the modern form above ( see History ) . In physics , the term Ohm 's law is also used to refer to various generalizations of the law originally formulated by Ohm . The simplest example of this is : J = σ E , ( \ displaystyle \ mathbf ( J ) = \ sigma \ mathbf ( E ) , ) where J is the current density at a given location in a resistive material , E is the electric field at that location , and σ ( sigma ) is a material - dependent parameter called the conductivity . This reformulation of Ohm 's law is due to Gustav Kirchhoff .

He measured the current by noting how strong a shock he felt as he completed the circuit with his body . Cavendish wrote that the `` velocity '' ( current ) varied directly as the `` degree of electrification '' ( voltage ) . He did not communicate his results to other scientists at the time , and his results were unknown until Maxwell published them in 1879 . Francis Ronalds delineated `` intensity '' ( voltage ) and `` quantity '' ( current ) for the dry pile -- a high voltage source -- in 1814 using a gold - leaf electrometer . He found for a dry pile that the relationship between the two parameters was not proportional under certain meteorological conditions . Ohm 's law in Georg Ohm 's lab book . Ohm did his work on resistance in the years 1825 and 1826 , and published his results in 1827 as the book Die galvanische Kette , mathematisch bearbeitet ( `` The galvanic circuit investigated mathematically '' ) . He drew considerable inspiration from Fourier 's work on heat conduction in the theoretical explanation of his work . For experiments , he initially used voltaic piles , but later used a thermocouple as this provided a more stable voltage source in terms of internal resistance and constant voltage . He used a galvanometer to measure current , and knew that the voltage between the thermocouple terminals was proportional to the junction temperature . He then added test wires of varying length , diameter , and material to complete the circuit . He found that his data could be modeled through the equation x = a b + l , ( \ displaystyle x = ( \ frac ( a ) ( b + l ) ) , ) where x was the reading from the galvanometer , l was the length of the test conductor , a depended only on the thermocouple junction temperature , and b was a constant of the entire setup . From this , Ohm determined his law of proportionality and published his results . Ohm 's law was probably the most important of the early quantitative descriptions of the physics of electricity . We consider it almost obvious today . When Ohm first published his work , this was not the case ; critics reacted to his treatment of the subject with hostility . They called his work a `` web of naked fancies '' and the German Minister of Education proclaimed that `` a professor who preached such heresies was unworthy to teach science . '' The prevailing scientific philosophy in Germany at the time asserted that experiments need not be performed to develop an understanding of nature because nature is so well ordered , and that scientific truths may be deduced through reasoning alone . Also , Ohm 's brother Martin , a mathematician , was battling the German educational system . These factors hindered the acceptance of Ohm 's work , and his work did not become widely accepted until the 1840s . Fortunately , Ohm received recognition for his contributions to science well before he died . In the 1850s , Ohm 's law was known as such and was widely considered proved , and alternatives , such as `` Barlow 's law '' , were discredited , in terms of real applications to telegraph system design , as discussed by Samuel F.B. Morse in 1855 . While the old term for electrical conductance , the mho ( the inverse of the resistance unit ohm ) , is still used , a new name , the siemens , was adopted in 1971 , honoring Ernst Werner von Siemens . The siemens is preferred in formal papers . In the 1920s , it was discovered that the current through a practical resistor actually has statistical fluctuations , which depend on temperature , even when voltage and resistance are exactly constant ; this fluctuation , now known as Johnson -- Nyquist noise , is due to the discrete nature of charge . This thermal effect implies that measurements of current and voltage that are taken over sufficiently short periods of time will yield ratios of V / I that fluctuate from the value of R implied by the time average or ensemble average of the measured current ; Ohm 's law remains correct for the average current , in the case of ordinary resistive materials . Ohm 's work long preceded Maxwell 's equations and any understanding of frequency - dependent effects in AC circuits . Modern developments in electromagnetic theory and circuit theory do not contradict Ohm 's law when they are evaluated within the appropriate limits . Scope Ohm 's law is an empirical law , a generalization from many experiments that have shown that current is approximately proportional to electric field for most materials . It is less fundamental than Maxwell 's equations and is not always obeyed . Any given material will break down under a strong - enough electric field , and some materials of interest in electrical engineering are `` non-ohmic '' under weak fields . Ohm 's law has been observed on a wide range of length scales . In the early 20th century , it was thought that Ohm 's law would fail at the atomic scale , but experiments have not borne out this expectation . As of 2012 , researchers have demonstrated that Ohm 's law works for silicon wires as small as four atoms wide and one atom high . Microscopic origins Drude Model electrons ( shown here in blue ) constantly bounce among heavier , stationary crystal ions ( shown in red ) . Main articles : Drude model and Classical and quantum conductivity The dependence of the current density on the applied electric field is essentially quantum mechanical in nature ; ( see Classical and quantum conductivity . ) A qualitative description leading to Ohm 's law can be based upon classical mechanics using the Drude model developed by Paul Drude in 1900 . The Drude model treats electrons ( or other charge carriers ) like pinballs bouncing among the ions that make up the structure of the material . Electrons will be accelerated in the opposite direction to the electric field by the average electric field at their location . With each collision , though , the electron is deflected in a random direction with a velocity that is much larger than the velocity gained by the electric field . The net result is that electrons take a zigzag path due to the collisions , but generally drift in a direction opposing the electric field . The drift velocity then determines the electric current density and its relationship to E and is independent of the collisions . Drude calculated the average drift velocity from p = − eEτ where p is the average momentum , − e is the charge of the electron and τ is the average time between the collisions . Since both the momentum and the current density are proportional to the drift velocity , the current density becomes proportional to the applied electric field ; this leads to Ohm 's law . Hydraulic analogy A hydraulic analogy is sometimes used to describe Ohm 's law . Water pressure , measured by pascals ( or PSI ) , is the analog of voltage because establishing a water pressure difference between two points along a ( horizontal ) pipe causes water to flow . Water flow rate , as in liters per second , is the analog of current , as in coulombs per second . Finally , flow restrictors -- such as apertures placed in pipes between points where the water pressure is measured -- are the analog of resistors . We say that the rate of water flow through an aperture restrictor is proportional to the difference in water pressure across the restrictor . Similarly , the rate of flow of electrical charge , that is , the electric current , through an electrical resistor is proportional to the difference in voltage measured across the resistor . Flow and pressure variables can be calculated in fluid flow network with the use of the hydraulic ohm analogy . The method can be applied to both steady and transient flow situations . In the linear laminar flow region , Poiseuille 's law describes the hydraulic resistance of a pipe , but in the turbulent flow region the pressure -- flow relations become nonlinear . The hydraulic analogy to Ohm 's law has been used , for example , to approximate blood flow through the circulatory system . Circuit analysis Ohm 's law triangle Ohms law wheel with international unit symbols In circuit analysis , three equivalent expressions of Ohm 's law are used interchangeably : I = V R or V = I R or R = V I . ( \ displaystyle I = ( \ frac ( V ) ( R ) ) \ quad ( \ text ( or ) ) \ quad V = IR \ quad ( \ text ( or ) ) \ quad R = ( \ frac ( V ) ( I ) ) . ) Each equation is quoted by some sources as the defining relationship of Ohm 's law , or all three are quoted , or derived from a proportional form , or even just the two that do not correspond to Ohm 's original statement may sometimes be given . The interchangeability of the equation may be represented by a triangle , where V ( voltage ) is placed on the top section , the I ( current ) is placed to the left section , and the R ( resistance ) is placed to the right . The line that divides the left and right sections indicate multiplication , and the divider between the top and bottom sections indicates division ( hence the division bar ) . Resistive circuits Resistors are circuit elements that impede the passage of electric charge in agreement with Ohm 's law , and are designed to have a specific resistance value R. In a schematic diagram the resistor is shown as a zig - zag symbol . An element ( resistor or conductor ) that behaves according to Ohm 's law over some operating range is referred to as an ohmic device ( or an ohmic resistor ) because Ohm 's law and a single value for the resistance suffice to describe the behavior of the device over that range . Ohm 's law holds for circuits containing only resistive elements ( no capacitances or inductances ) for all forms of driving voltage or current , regardless of whether the driving voltage or current is constant ( DC ) or time - varying such as AC . At any instant of time Ohm 's law is valid for such circuits . Resistors which are in series or in parallel may be grouped together into a single `` equivalent resistance '' in order to apply Ohm 's law in analyzing the circuit . Reactive circuits with time - varying signals When reactive elements such as capacitors , inductors , or transmission lines are involved in a circuit to which AC or time - varying voltage or current is applied , the relationship between voltage and current becomes the solution to a differential equation , so Ohm 's law ( as defined above ) does not directly apply since that form contains only resistances having value R , not complex impedances which may contain capacitance ( `` C '' ) or inductance ( `` L '' ) . Equations for time - invariant AC circuits take the same form as Ohm 's law . However , the variables are generalized to complex numbers and the current and voltage waveforms are complex exponentials . In this approach , a voltage or current waveform takes the form A e s t ( \ displaystyle Ae ^ ( st ) ) , where t is time , s is a complex parameter , and A is a complex scalar . In any linear time - invariant system , all of the currents and voltages can be expressed with the same s parameter as the input to the system , allowing the time - varying complex exponential term to be canceled out and the system described algebraically in terms of the complex scalars in the current and voltage waveforms . The complex generalization of resistance is impedance , usually denoted Z ; it can be shown that for an inductor , Z = s L ( \ displaystyle Z = sL \ , ) and for a capacitor , Z = 1 s C . ( \ displaystyle Z = ( \ frac ( 1 ) ( sC ) ) . ) We can now write , V = I ⋅ Z ( \ displaystyle ( \ boldsymbol ( V ) ) = ( \ boldsymbol ( I ) ) \ cdot ( \ boldsymbol ( Z ) ) ) where V and I are the complex scalars in the voltage and current respectively and Z is the complex impedance . This form of Ohm 's law , with Z taking the place of R , generalizes the simpler form . When Z is complex , only the real part is responsible for dissipating heat . In the general AC circuit , Z varies strongly with the frequency parameter s , and so also will the relationship between voltage and current . For the common case of a steady sinusoid , the s parameter is taken to be j ω ( \ displaystyle j \ omega ) , corresponding to a complex sinusoid A e j ω t ( \ displaystyle Ae ^ ( ( \ mbox ( ) ) j \ omega t ) ) . The real parts of such complex current and voltage waveforms describe the actual sinusoidal currents and voltages in a circuit , which can be in different phases due to the different complex scalars . Linear approximations See also : Small - signal modeling and Network analysis ( electrical circuits ) § Small signal equivalent circuit Ohm 's law is one of the basic equations used in the analysis of electrical circuits . It applies to both metal conductors and circuit components ( resistors ) specifically made for this behaviour . Both are ubiquitous in electrical engineering . Materials and components that obey Ohm 's law are described as `` ohmic '' which means they produce the same value for resistance ( R = V / I ) regardless of the value of V or I which is applied and whether the applied voltage or current is DC ( direct current ) of either positive or negative polarity or AC ( alternating current ) . In a true ohmic device , the same value of resistance will be calculated from R = V / I regardless of the value of the applied voltage V. That is , the ratio of V / I is constant , and when current is plotted as a function of voltage the curve is linear ( a straight line ) . If voltage is forced to some value V , then that voltage V divided by measured current I will equal R. Or if the current is forced to some value I , then the measured voltage V divided by that current I is also R. Since the plot of I versus V is a straight line , then it is also true that for any set of two different voltages V and V applied across a given device of resistance R , producing currents I = V / R and I = V / R , that the ratio ( V − V ) / ( I − I ) is also a constant equal to R . The operator `` delta '' ( Δ ) is used to represent a difference in a quantity , so we can write ΔV = V − V and ΔI = I − I. Summarizing , for any truly ohmic device having resistance R , V / I = ΔV / ΔI = R for any applied voltage or current or for the difference between any set of applied voltages or currents . The I -- V curves of four devices : Two resistors , a diode , and a battery . The two resistors follow Ohm 's law : The plot is a straight line through the origin . The other two devices do not follow Ohm 's law . There are , however , components of electrical circuits which do not obey Ohm 's law ; that is , their relationship between current and voltage ( their I -- V curve ) is nonlinear ( or non-ohmic ) . An example is the p-n junction diode ( curve at right ) . As seen in the figure , the current does not increase linearly with applied voltage for a diode . One can determine a value of current ( I ) for a given value of applied voltage ( V ) from the curve , but not from Ohm 's law , since the value of `` resistance '' is not constant as a function of applied voltage . Further , the current only increases significantly if the applied voltage is positive , not negative . The ratio V / I for some point along the nonlinear curve is sometimes called the static , or chordal , or DC , resistance , but as seen in the figure the value of total V over total I varies depending on the particular point along the nonlinear curve which is chosen . This means the `` DC resistance '' V / I at some point on the curve is not the same as what would be determined by applying an AC signal having peak amplitude ΔV volts or ΔI amps centered at that same point along the curve and measuring ΔV / ΔI . However , in some diode applications , the AC signal applied to the device is small and it is possible to analyze the circuit in terms of the dynamic , small - signal , or incremental resistance , defined as the one over the slope of the V -- I curve at the average value ( DC operating point ) of the voltage ( that is , one over the derivative of current with respect to voltage ) . For sufficiently small signals , the dynamic resistance allows the Ohm 's law small signal resistance to be calculated as approximately one over the slope of a line drawn tangentially to the V-I curve at the DC operating point . Temperature effects Ohm 's law has sometimes been stated as , `` for a conductor in a given state , the electromotive force is proportional to the current produced . '' That is , that the resistance , the ratio of the applied electromotive force ( or voltage ) to the current , `` does not vary with the current strength . '' The qualifier `` in a given state '' is usually interpreted as meaning `` at a constant temperature , '' since the resistivity of materials is usually temperature dependent . Because the conduction of current is related to Joule heating of the conducting body , according to Joule 's first law , the temperature of a conducting body may change when it carries a current . The dependence of resistance on temperature therefore makes resistance depend upon the current in a typical experimental setup , making the law in this form difficult to directly verify . Maxwell and others worked out several methods to test the law experimentally in 1876 , controlling for heating effects . Relation to heat conductions See also : Conduction ( heat ) Ohm 's principle predicts the flow of electrical charge ( i.e. current ) in electrical conductors when subjected to the influence of voltage differences ; Jean - Baptiste - Joseph Fourier 's principle predicts the flow of heat in heat conductors when subjected to the influence of temperature differences . The same equation describes both phenomena , the equation 's variables taking on different meanings in the two cases . Specifically , solving a heat conduction ( Fourier ) problem with temperature ( the driving `` force '' ) and flux of heat ( the rate of flow of the driven `` quantity '' , i.e. heat energy ) variables also solves an analogous electrical conduction ( Ohm ) problem having electric potential ( the driving `` force '' ) and electric current ( the rate of flow of the driven `` quantity '' , i.e. charge ) variables . The basis of Fourier 's work was his clear conception and definition of thermal conductivity . He assumed that , all else being the same , the flux of heat is strictly proportional to the gradient of temperature . Although undoubtedly true for small temperature gradients , strictly proportional behavior will be lost when real materials ( e.g. ones having a thermal conductivity that is a function of temperature ) are subjected to large temperature gradients . A similar assumption is made in the statement of Ohm 's law : other things being alike , the strength of the current at each point is proportional to the gradient of electric potential . The accuracy of the assumption that flow is proportional to the gradient is more readily tested , using modern measurement methods , for the electrical case than for the heat case . Other versions Ohm 's law , in the form above , is an extremely useful equation in the field of electrical / electronic engineering because it describes how voltage , current and resistance are interrelated on a `` macroscopic '' level , that is , commonly , as circuit elements in an electrical circuit . Physicists who study the electrical properties of matter at the microscopic level use a closely related and more general vector equation , sometimes also referred to as Ohm 's law , having variables that are closely related to the V , I , and R scalar variables of Ohm 's law , but which are each functions of position within the conductor . Physicists often use this continuum form of Ohm 's Law : E = ρ J ( \ displaystyle \ mathbf ( E ) = \ rho \ mathbf ( J ) ) where `` E '' is the electric field vector with units of volts per meter ( analogous to `` V '' of Ohm 's law which has units of volts ) , `` J '' is the current density vector with units of amperes per unit area ( analogous to `` I '' of Ohm 's law which has units of amperes ) , and `` ρ '' ( Greek `` rho '' ) is the resistivity with units of ohm meters ( analogous to `` R '' of Ohm 's law which has units of ohms ) . The above equation is sometimes written as J = σ ( \ displaystyle \ sigma ) E where `` σ '' ( Greek `` sigma '' ) is the conductivity which is the reciprocal of ρ . Current flowing through a uniform cylindrical conductor ( such as a round wire ) with a uniform field applied . The voltage between two points is defined as : Δ V = − ∫ E ⋅ d l ( \ displaystyle ( \ Delta V ) = - \ int ( \ mathbf ( E ) \ cdot d \ mathbf ( l ) ) ) with d l ( \ displaystyle d \ mathbf ( l ) ) the element of path along the integration of electric field vector E. If the applied E field is uniform and oriented along the length of the conductor as shown in the figure , then defining the voltage V in the usual convention of being opposite in direction to the field ( see figure ) , and with the understanding that the voltage V is measured differentially across the length of the conductor allowing us to drop the Δ symbol , the above vector equation reduces to the scalar equation : V = E l or E = V l . ( \ displaystyle V = ( E ) ( l ) \ \ ( \ text ( or ) ) \ \ E = ( \ frac ( V ) ( l ) ) . ) Since the E field is uniform in the direction of wire length , for a conductor having uniformly consistent resistivity ρ , the current density J will also be uniform in any cross-sectional area and oriented in the direction of wire length , so we may write : J = I a . ( \ displaystyle J = ( \ frac ( I ) ( a ) ) . ) Substituting the above 2 results ( for E and J respectively ) into the continuum form shown at the beginning of this section : V l = I a ρ or V = I ρ l a . ( \ displaystyle ( \ frac ( V ) ( l ) ) = ( \ frac ( I ) ( a ) ) \ rho \ qquad ( \ text ( or ) ) \ qquad V = I \ rho ( \ frac ( l ) ( a ) ) . ) The electrical resistance of a uniform conductor is given in terms of resistivity by : R = ρ l a ( \ displaystyle ( R ) = \ rho ( \ frac ( l ) ( a ) ) ) where l is the length of the conductor in SI units of meters , a is the cross-sectional area ( for a round wire a = πr if r is radius ) in units of meters squared , and ρ is the resistivity in units of ohm meters . After substitution of R from the above equation into the equation preceding it , the continuum form of Ohm 's law for a uniform field ( and uniform current density ) oriented along the length of the conductor reduces to the more familiar form : V = I R . ( \ displaystyle ( V ) = ( I ) ( R ). \ ) A perfect crystal lattice , with low enough thermal motion and no deviations from periodic structure , would have no resistivity , but a real metal has crystallographic defects , impurities , multiple isotopes , and thermal motion of the atoms . Electrons scatter from all of these , resulting in resistance to their flow . The more complex generalized forms of Ohm 's law are important to condensed matter physics , which studies the properties of matter and , in particular , its electronic structure . In broad terms , they fall under the topic of constitutive equations and the theory of transport coefficients . Magnetic effects If an external B - field is present and the conductor is not at rest but moving at velocity v , then an extra term must be added to account for the current induced by the Lorentz force on the charge carriers . J = σ ( E + v × B ) ( \ displaystyle \ mathbf ( J ) = \ sigma ( \ mathbf ( E ) + \ mathbf ( v ) \ times \ mathbf ( B ) ) ) In the rest frame of the moving conductor this term drops out because v = 0 . There is no contradiction because the electric field in the rest frame differs from the E-field in the lab frame : E ′ = E + v × B. Electric and magnetic fields are relative , see Lorentz transformation . If the current J is alternating because the applied voltage or E-field varies in time , then reactance must be added to resistance to account for self - inductance , see electrical impedance . The reactance may be strong if the frequency is high or the conductor is coiled . Conductive fluids In a conductive fluid , such as a plasma , there is a similar effect . Consider a fluid moving with the velocity v → ( \ displaystyle ( \ vec ( v ) ) ) in a magnetic field B → ( \ displaystyle ( \ vec ( B ) ) ) . The relative motion induces an electric field E → ( \ displaystyle ( \ vec ( E ) ) ) which exerts electric force on the charged particles giving rise to an electric current J → ( \ displaystyle ( \ vec ( J ) ) ) . The equation of motion for the electron gas , with a number density n e ( \ displaystyle n_ ( e ) ) , is written as m e n e d v → e d t = − n e e E → + n e m e ν ( v i − v e ) − e n e v → e × B → , ( \ displaystyle m_ ( e ) n_ ( e ) ( d ( \ vec ( v ) ) _ ( e ) \ over dt ) = - n_ ( e ) e ( \ vec ( E ) ) + n_ ( e ) m_ ( e ) \ nu ( v_ ( i ) - v_ ( e ) ) - en_ ( e ) ( \ vec ( v ) ) _ ( e ) \ times ( \ vec ( B ) ) , ) where e ( \ displaystyle e ) , m e ( \ displaystyle m_ ( e ) ) and v → e ( \ displaystyle ( \ vec ( v ) ) _ ( e ) ) are the charge , mass and velocity of the electrons , respectively . Also , ν ( \ displaystyle \ nu ) is the frequency of collisions of the electrons with ions which have a velocity field v → i ( \ displaystyle ( \ vec ( v ) ) _ ( i ) ) . Since , the electron has a very small mass compared with that of ions , we can ignore the left hand side of the above equation to write σ ( E → + v → × B → ) = J → , ( \ displaystyle \ sigma ( ( \ vec ( E ) ) + ( \ vec ( v ) ) \ times ( \ vec ( B ) ) ) = ( \ vec ( J ) ) , ) where we have used the definition of the current density , and also put σ = n e e 2 ν m e ( \ displaystyle \ sigma = ( n_ ( e ) e ^ ( 2 ) \ over \ nu m_ ( e ) ) ) which is the electrical conductivity . This equation can also be equivalently written as E → + v → × B → = ρ J → , ( \ displaystyle ( \ vec ( E ) ) + ( \ vec ( v ) ) \ times ( \ vec ( B ) ) = \ rho ( \ vec ( J ) ) , ) where ρ = σ − 1 ( \ displaystyle \ rho = \ sigma ^ ( - 1 ) ) is the electrical resistivity . It is also common to write η ( \ displaystyle \ eta ) instead of ρ ( \ displaystyle \ rho ) which can be confusing since it is the same notation used for the magnetic diffusivity defined as η = 1 / μ 0 σ ( \ displaystyle \ eta = 1 / \ mu _ ( 0 ) \ sigma ) .

The Constitution , originally comprising seven articles , delineates the national frame of government . Its first three articles embody the doctrine of the separation of powers , whereby the federal government is divided into three branches : the legislative , consisting of the bicameral Congress ; the executive , consisting of the President ; and the judicial , consisting of the Supreme Court and other federal courts . Articles Four , Five and Six embody concepts of federalism , describing the rights and responsibilities of state governments and of the states in relationship to the federal government . Article Seven establishes the procedure subsequently used by the thirteen States to ratify it . It is regarded as the oldest written and codified national constitution in force . Since the Constitution came into force in 1789 , it has been amended 27 times , including an amendment to repeal a previous one , in order to meet the changing needs of a nation that has profoundly changed since the eighteenth century . In general , the first ten amendments , known collectively as the Bill of Rights , offer specific protections of individual liberty and justice and place restrictions on the powers of government . The majority of the seventeen later amendments expand individual civil rights protections . Others address issues related to federal authority or modify government processes and procedures . Amendments to the United States Constitution , unlike ones made to many constitutions worldwide , are appended to the document . All four pages of the original U.S. Constitution are written on parchment . According to the United States Senate : `` The Constitution 's first three words -- We the People -- affirm that the government of the United States exists to serve its citizens . For over two centuries the Constitution has remained in force because its framers wisely separated and balanced governmental powers to safeguard the interests of majority rule and minority rights , of liberty and equality , and of the federal and state governments . '' The first permanent constitution of its kind , adopted by the people 's representatives for an expansive nation , it is interpreted , supplemented , and implemented by a large body of constitutional law , and has influenced the constitutions of other nations .

Delegates to the First ( 1774 ) and then the Second ( 1775 -- 1781 ) Continental Congress were chosen largely through the action of committees of correspondence in various colonies rather than through the colonial or later state legislatures . In no formal sense was it a gathering representative of existing colonial governments ; it represented the dissatisfied elements of the people , such persons as were sufficiently interested to act , despite the strenuous opposition of the loyalists and the obstruction or disfavor of colonial governors . The process of selecting the delegates for the First and Second Continental Congresses underscores the revolutionary role of the people of the colonies in establishing a central governing body . Endowed by the people collectively , the Continental Congress alone possessed those attributes of external sovereignty which entitled it to be called a state in the international sense , while the separate states , exercising a limited or internal sovereignty , may rightly be considered a creation of the Continental Congress , which preceded them and brought them into being . Articles of Confederation Main article : Articles of Confederation The Articles of Confederation and Perpetual Union was the first constitution of the United States . It was drafted by the Second Continental Congress from mid-1776 through late 1777 , and ratification by all 13 states was completed by early 1781 . Under the Articles of Confederation , the central government 's power was quite limited . The Confederation Congress could make decisions , but lacked enforcement powers . Implementation of most decisions , including modifications to the Articles , required unanimous approval of all thirteen state legislatures . Although , in a way , the Congressional powers in Article 9 made the `` league of states as cohesive and strong as any similar sort of republican confederation in history '' , the chief problem was , in the words of George Washington , `` no money '' . The Continental Congress could print money but the currency was worthless . ( A popular phrase of the times called a useless object or person ... not worth a Continental , referring to the Continental dollar . ) Congress could borrow money , but could n't pay it back . No state paid all their U.S. taxes ; some paid nothing . Some few paid an amount equal to interest on the national debt owed to their citizens , but no more . No interest was paid on debt owed foreign governments . By 1786 , the United States would default on outstanding debts as their dates came due . Internationally , the Articles of Confederation did little to enhance the United States ' ability to defend its sovereignty . Most of the troops in the 625 - man United States Army were deployed facing -- but not threatening -- British forts on American soil . They had not been paid ; some were deserting and others threatening mutiny . Spain closed New Orleans to American commerce ; U.S. officials protested , but to no effect . Barbary pirates began seizing American ships of commerce ; the Treasury had no funds to pay their ransom . If any military crisis required action , the Congress had no credit or taxing power to finance a response . Domestically , the Articles of Confederation was failing to bring unity to the diverse sentiments and interests of the various states . Although the Treaty of Paris ( 1783 ) was signed between Great Britain and the U.S. , and named each of the American states , various individual states proceeded blithely to violate it . New York and South Carolina repeatedly prosecuted Loyalists for wartime activity and redistributed their lands . Individual state legislatures independently laid embargoes , negotiated directly with foreign authorities , raised armies , and made war , all violating the letter and the spirit of the Articles . In September 1786 , during an inter -- state convention to discuss and develop a consensus about reversing the protectionist trade barriers that each state had erected , James Madison angrily questioned whether the Articles of Confederation was a binding compact or even a viable government . Connecticut paid nothing and `` positively refused '' to pay U.S. assessments for two years . A rumor had it that a `` seditious party '' of New York legislators had opened a conversation with the Viceroy of Canada . To the south , the British were said to be openly funding Creek Indian raids on white settlers in Georgia and adjacent territory . Savannah ( then - capital of Georgia ) had been fortified , and the state of Georgia was under martial law . Additionally , during Shays ' Rebellion ( August 1786 -- June 1787 ) in Massachusetts , Congress could provide no money to support an endangered constituent state . General Benjamin Lincoln was obliged to raise funds from Boston merchants to pay for a volunteer army . Congress was paralyzed . It could do nothing significant without nine states , and some legislation required all thirteen . When a state produced only one member in attendance , its vote was not counted . If a state 's delegation were evenly divided , its vote could not be counted towards the nine - count requirement . The Articles Congress had `` virtually ceased trying to govern '' . The vision of a `` respectable nation '' among nations seemed to be fading in the eyes of revolutionaries such as George Washington , Benjamin Franklin , and Rufus King . Their dream of a republic , a nation without hereditary rulers , with power derived from the people in frequent elections , was in doubt . On February 21 , 1787 , the Confederation Congress called a convention of state delegates at Philadelphia to propose a plan of government . Unlike earlier attempts , the convention was not meant for new laws or piecemeal alterations , but for the `` sole and express purpose of revising the Articles of Confederation '' . The convention was not limited to commerce ; rather , it was intended to `` render the federal constitution adequate to the exigencies of government and the preservation of the Union . '' The proposal might take effect when approved by Congress and the states . History 1787 drafting Main article : Constitutional Convention ( United States ) Signing the Constitution , September 17 , 1787 On the appointed day , May 14 , 1787 , only the Virginia and Pennsylvania delegations were present , and so the convention 's opening meeting was postponed for lack of a quorum . A quorum of seven states met and deliberations began on May 25 . Eventually twelve states were represented ; 74 delegates were named , 55 attended and 39 signed . The delegates were generally convinced that an effective central government with a wide range of enforceable powers must replace the weaker Congress established by the Articles of Confederation . Two plans for structuring the federal government arose at the convention 's outset : The Virginia Plan ( also known as the Large State Plan or the Randolph Plan ) proposed that the legislative department of the national government be composed of a Bicameral Congress , with both chambers elected with apportionment according to population . Generally favoring the most highly populated states , it used the philosophy of John Locke to rely on consent of the governed , Montesquieu for divided government , and Edward Coke to emphasize civil liberties . The New Jersey Plan proposed that the legislative department be a unicameral body with one vote per state . Generally favoring the less - populous states , it used the philosophy of English Whigs such as Edmund Burke to rely on received procedure and William Blackstone to emphasize sovereignty of the legislature . This position reflected the belief that the states were independent entities and , as they entered the United States of America freely and individually , remained so . On May 31 , the Convention devolved into a `` Committee of the Whole '' to consider the Virginia Plan . On June 13 , the Virginia resolutions in amended form were reported out of committee . The New Jersey plan was put forward in response to the Virginia Plan . A `` Committee of Eleven '' ( one delegate from each state represented ) met from July 2 to 16 to work out a compromise on the issue of representation in the federal legislature . All agreed to a republican form of government grounded in representing the people in the states . For the legislature , two issues were to be decided : how the votes were to be allocated among the states in the Congress , and how the representatives should be elected . In its report , now known as the Connecticut Compromise ( or `` Great Compromise '' ) , the committee proposed proportional representation for seats in the House of Representatives based on population ( with the people voting for representatives ) , and equal representation for each State in the Senate ( with each state 's legislators generally choosing their respective senators ) , and that all money bills would originate in the House . The Great Compromise ended the stalemate between `` patriots '' and `` nationalists '' , leading to numerous other compromises in a spirit of accommodation . There were sectional interests to be balanced by the Three - Fifths Compromise ; reconciliation on Presidential term , powers , and method of selection ; and jurisdiction of the federal judiciary . On July 24 , a `` Committee of Detail '' -- John Rutledge ( South Carolina ) , Edmund Randolph ( Virginia ) , Nathaniel Gorham ( Massachusetts ) , Oliver Ellsworth ( Connecticut ) , and James Wilson ( Pennsylvania ) -- was elected to draft a detailed constitution reflective of the Resolutions passed by the convention up to that point . The Convention recessed from July 26 to August 6 to await the report of this `` Committee of Detail '' . Overall , the report of the committee conformed to the resolutions adopted by the Convention , adding some elements . A twenty - three article ( plus preamble ) constitution was presented . From August 6 to September 10 , the report of the committee of detail was discussed , section by section and clause by clause . Details were attended to , and further compromises were effected . Toward the close of these discussions , on September 8 , a `` Committee of Style and Arrangement '' -- Alexander Hamilton ( New York ) , William Samuel Johnson ( Connecticut ) , Rufus King ( Massachusetts ) , James Madison ( Virginia ) , and Gouverneur Morris ( Pennsylvania ) -- was appointed to distill a final draft constitution from the twenty - three approved articles . The final draft , presented to the convention on September 12 , contained seven articles , a preamble and a closing endorsement , of which Morris was the primary author . The committee also presented a proposed letter to accompany the constitution when delivered to Congress . The final document , engrossed by Jacob Shallus , was taken up on Monday , September 17 , at the Convention 's final session . Several of the delegates were disappointed in the result , a makeshift series of unfortunate compromises . Some delegates left before the ceremony , and three others refused to sign . Of the thirty - nine signers , Benjamin Franklin summed up , addressing the Convention : `` There are several parts of this Constitution which I do not at present approve , but I am not sure I shall never approve them . '' He would accept the Constitution , `` because I expect no better and because I am not sure that it is not the best '' . The advocates of the Constitution were anxious to obtain unanimous support of all twelve states represented in the Convention . Their accepted formula for the closing endorsement was `` Done in Convention , by the unanimous consent of the States present . '' At the end of the convention , the proposal was agreed to by eleven state delegations and the lone remaining delegate from New York , Alexander Hamilton . 1788 ratification Further information : History of the United States Constitution § Ratification of the Constitution Dates the 13 states ratified the Constitution Transmitted to the Congress of the Confederation , then sitting in New York City , it was within the power of Congress to expedite or block ratification of the proposed Constitution . The new frame of government that the Philadelphia Convention presented was technically only a revision of the Articles of Confederation . After several days of debate , Congress voted to transmit the document to the thirteen states for ratification according to the process outlined in its Article VII . Each state legislature was to call elections for a `` Federal Convention '' to ratify the new Constitution , rather than consider ratification itself ; a departure from the constitutional practice of the time , designed to expand the franchise in order to more clearly embrace `` the people '' . The frame of government itself was to go into force among the States so acting upon the approval of nine ( i.e. two - thirds of the 13 ) states ; also a departure from constitutional practice , as the Articles of Confederation could only be amended by unanimous vote of all the states . Three members of the Convention -- Madison , Gorham , and King -- were also Members of Congress . They proceeded at once to New York , where Congress was in session , to placate the expected opposition . Aware of their vanishing authority , Congress , on September 28 , after some debate , resolved unanimously to submit the Constitution to the States for action , `` in conformity to the resolves of the Convention '' , but with no recommendation either for or against its adoption . Two parties soon developed , one in opposition , the Anti-Federalists , and one in support , the Federalists , of the Constitution ; and the Constitution was debated , criticized , and expounded upon clause by clause . Hamilton , Madison , and Jay , under the name of Publius , wrote a series of commentaries , now known as The Federalist Papers , in support of ratification in the state of New York , at that time a hotbed of anti-Federalism . These commentaries on the Constitution , written during the struggle for ratification , have been frequently cited by the Supreme Court as an authoritative contemporary interpretation of the meaning of its provisions . The dispute over additional powers for the central government was close , and in some states ratification was effected only after a bitter struggle in the state convention itself . On June 21 , 1788 , the constitution had been ratified by the minimum of nine states required under Article VII . Towards the end of July , and with eleven states then having ratified , the process of organizing the new government began . The Continental Congress , which still functioned at irregular intervals , passed a resolution on September 13 , 1788 , to put the new Constitution into operation with the eleven states that had then ratified it . The federal government began operations under the new form of government on March 4 , 1789 . However , the initial meeting of each chamber of Congress had to be adjourned due to lack of a quorum . George Washington was inaugurated as the nation 's first president 8 weeks later , on April 30 . The final two states , North Carolina and Rhode Island , both subsequently ratified the Constitution -- November 21 , 1789 , and May 29 , 1790 , respectively .

These were associated with the combination of consolidated government along with federal relationships with constituent states . The Due Process Clause of the Constitution was partly based on common law and on Magna Carta ( 1215 ) , which had become a foundation of English liberty against arbitrary power wielded by a ruler . Among the most prominent political theorists of the late eighteenth century were William Blackstone , John Locke , and Montesquieu . Both the influence of Edward Coke and William Blackstone were evident at the Convention . In his Institutes of the Lawes of England , Edward Coke interpreted Magna Carta protections and rights to apply not just to nobles , but to all British subjects . In writing the Virginia Charter of 1606 , he enabled the King in Parliament to give those to be born in the colonies all rights and liberties as though they were born in England . William Blackstone 's Commentaries on the Laws of England were the most influential books on law in the new republic . British political philosopher John Locke following the Glorious Revolution ( 1688 ) was a major influence expanding on the contract theory of government advanced by Thomas Hobbes . Locke advanced the principle of consent of the governed in his Two Treatises of Government . Government 's duty under a social contract among the sovereign people was to serve the people by protecting their rights . These basic rights were life , liberty and property . Montesquieu 's influence on the framers is evident in Madison 's Federalist No. 47 and Hamilton 's Federalist No. 78 . Jefferson , Adams , and Mason were known to read Montesquieu . Supreme Court Justices , the ultimate interpreters of the Constitution , have cited to Montesquieu throughout the Court 's history . ( See , e.g. , Green v. Biddle , 21 U.S. 1 , 1 , 36 ( 1823 ) . United States v. Wood , 39 U.S. 430 , 438 ( 1840 ) . Myers v. United States , 272 U.S. 52 , 116 ( 1926 ) . Nixon v. Administrator of General Services , 433 U.S. 425 , 442 ( 1977 ) . Bank Markazi v. Peterson , 136 U.S. 1310 , 1330 ( 2016 ). ) Montesquieu emphasized the need for balanced forces pushing against each other to prevent tyranny ( reflecting the influence of Polybius 's 2nd century BC treatise on the checks and balances of the Roman Republic ) . In his The Spirit of the Laws , Montesquieu argues that the separation of state powers should be by its service to the people 's liberty : legislative , executive and judicial . A substantial body of thought had been developed from the literature of republicanism in the United States , including work by John Adams and applied to the creation of state constitutions . The constitution was a federal one , and was influenced by the study of other federations , both ancient and extant . The United States Bill of Rights consists of 10 amendments added to the Constitution in 1791 , as supporters of the Constitution had promised critics during the debates of 1788 . The English Bill of Rights ( 1689 ) was an inspiration for the American Bill of Rights . Both require jury trials , contain a right to keep and bear arms , prohibit excessive bail and forbid `` cruel and unusual punishments '' . Many liberties protected by state constitutions and the Virginia Declaration of Rights were incorporated into the Bill of Rights . Original frame Reading of the Original United States Constitution , 1787 Neither the Convention which drafted the Constitution , nor the Congress which sent it to the thirteen states for ratification in the autumn of 1787 , gave it a lead caption . To fill this void , the document was most often titled `` A frame of Government '' when it was printed for the convenience of ratifying conventions and the information of the public . This Frame of Government consisted of a preamble , seven articles and a signed closing endorsement . Preamble `` We the People '' in an original edition The preamble to the Constitution serves as an introductory statement of the document 's fundamental purposes and guiding principles . It neither assigns powers to the federal government , nor does it place specific limitations on government action . Rather , it sets out the origin , scope and purpose of the Constitution . Its origin and authority is in `` We , the people of the United States '' . This echoes the Declaration of Independence . `` One people '' dissolved their connection with another , and assumed among the powers of the earth , a sovereign nation - state . The scope of the Constitution is twofold . First , `` to form a more perfect Union '' than had previously existed in the `` perpetual Union '' of the Articles of Confederation . Second , to `` secure the blessings of liberty '' , which were to be enjoyed by not only the first generation , but for all who came after , `` our posterity '' . Article one Article One describes the Congress , the legislative branch of the federal government . Section 1 , reads , `` All legislative powers herein granted shall be vested in a Congress of the United States , which shall consist of a Senate and House of Representatives . '' The article establishes the manner of election and the qualifications of members of each body . Representatives must be at least 25 years old , be a citizen of the United States for seven years , and live in the state they represent . Senators must be at least 30 years old , be a citizen for nine years , and live in the state they represent . Article I , Section 8 enumerates the powers delegated to the legislature . Financially , Congress has the power to tax , borrow , pay debt and provide for the common defense and the general welfare ; to regulate commerce , bankruptcies , and coin money . To regulate internal affairs , it has the power to regulate and govern military forces and militias , suppress insurrections and repel invasions . It is to provide for naturalization , standards of weights and measures , post offices and roads , and patents ; to directly govern the federal district and cessions of land by the states for forts and arsenals . Internationally , Congress has the power to define and punish piracies and offenses against the Law of Nations , to declare war and make rules of war . The final Necessary and Proper Clause , also known as the Elastic Clause , expressly confers incidental powers upon Congress without the Articles ' requirement for express delegation for each and every power . Article I , Section 9 lists eight specific limits on congressional power . The Supreme Court has sometimes broadly interpreted the Commerce Clause and the Necessary and Proper Clause in Article One to allow Congress to enact legislation that is neither expressly allowed by the enumerated powers nor expressly denied in the limitations on Congress . In McCulloch v. Maryland ( 1819 ) , the Supreme Court read the Necessary and Proper Clause to permit the federal government to take action that would `` enable ( it ) to perform the high duties assigned to it ( by the Constitution ) in the manner most beneficial to the people '' , even if that action is not itself within the enumerated powers . Chief Justice Marshall clarified : `` Let the end be legitimate , let it be within the scope of the Constitution , and all means which are appropriate , which are plainly adapted to that end , which are not prohibited , but consist with the letter and spirit of the Constitution , are Constitutional . '' Article two Article Two describes the office , qualifications , and duties of the President of the United States and the Vice President . The President is head of the executive branch of the federal government , as well as the nation 's head of state and head of government . Article two is modified by the 12th Amendment which tacitly acknowledges political parties , and the 25th Amendment relating to office succession . The president is to receive only one compensation from the federal government . The inaugural oath is specified to preserve , protect and defend the Constitution . The president is the Commander in Chief of the United States Armed Forces and state militias when they are mobilized . He or she makes treaties with the advice and consent of a two - thirds quorum of the Senate . To administer the federal government , the president commissions all the offices of the federal government as Congress directs ; he or she may require the opinions of its principal officers and make `` recess appointments '' for vacancies that may happen during the recess of the Senate . The president is to see that the laws are faithfully executed , though he or she may grant reprieves and pardons except regarding Congressional impeachment of himself or other federal officers . The president reports to Congress on the State of the Union , and by the Recommendation Clause , recommends `` necessary and expedient '' national measures . The president may convene and adjourn Congress under special circumstances . Section 4 provides for removal of the president and other federal officers . The president is removed on impeachment for , and conviction of , treason , bribery , or other high crimes and misdemeanors . Article three Article Three describes the court system ( the judicial branch ) , including the Supreme Court . There shall be one court called the Supreme Court . The article describes the kinds of cases the court takes as original jurisdiction . Congress can create lower courts and an appeals process . Congress enacts law defining crimes and providing for punishment . Article Three also protects the right to trial by jury in all criminal cases , and defines the crime of treason . Section 1 vests the judicial power of the United States in federal courts , and with it , the authority to interpret and apply the law to a particular case . Also included is the power to punish , sentence , and direct future action to resolve conflicts . The Constitution outlines the U.S. judicial system . In the Judiciary Act of 1789 , Congress began to fill in details . Currently , Title 28 of the U.S. Code describes judicial powers and administration . As of the First Congress , the Supreme Court justices rode circuit to sit as panels to hear appeals from the district courts . In 1891 , Congress enacted a new system . District courts would have original jurisdiction . Intermediate appellate courts ( circuit courts ) with exclusive jurisdiction heard regional appeals before consideration by the Supreme Court . The Supreme Court holds discretionary jurisdiction , meaning that it does not have to hear every case that is brought to it . To enforce judicial decisions , the Constitution grants federal courts both criminal contempt and civil contempt powers . The court 's summary punishment for contempt immediately overrides all other punishments applicable to the subject party . Other implied powers include injunctive relief and the habeas corpus remedy . The Court may imprison for contumacy , bad - faith litigation , and failure to obey a writ of mandamus . Judicial power includes that granted by Acts of Congress for rules of law and punishment . Judicial power also extends to areas not covered by statute . Generally , federal courts can not interrupt state court proceedings . Clause 1 of Section 2 authorizes the federal courts to hear actual cases and controversies only . Their judicial power does not extend to cases which are hypothetical , or which are proscribed due to standing , mootness , or ripeness issues . Generally , a case or controversy requires the presence of adverse parties who have some interest genuinely at stake in the case . Clause 2 of Section 2 provides that the Supreme Court has original jurisdiction in cases involving ambassadors , ministers and consuls , for all cases respecting foreign nation - states , and also in those controversies which are subject to federal judicial power because at least one state is a party . Cases arising under the laws of the United States and its treaties come under the jurisdiction of federal courts . Cases under international maritime law and conflicting land grants of different states come under federal courts . Cases between U.S. citizens in different states , and cases between U.S. citizens and foreign states and their citizens , come under federal jurisdiction . The trials will be in the state where the crime was committed . No part of the Constitution expressly authorizes judicial review , but the Framers did contemplate the idea . The Constitution is the supreme law of the land . Precedent has since established that the courts could exercise judicial review over the actions of Congress or the executive branch . Two conflicting federal laws are under `` pendent '' jurisdiction if one presents a strict constitutional issue . Federal court jurisdiction is rare when a state legislature enacts something as under federal jurisdiction . To establish a federal system of national law , considerable effort goes into developing a spirit of comity between federal government and states . By the doctrine of ' Res judicata ' , federal courts give `` full faith and credit '' to State Courts . The Supreme Court will decide Constitutional issues of state law only on a case by case basis , and only by strict Constitutional necessity , independent of state legislators motives , their policy outcomes or its national wisdom . Section 3 bars Congress from changing or modifying Federal law on treason by simple majority statute . This section also defines treason , as an overt act of making war or materially helping those at war with the United States . Accusations must be corroborated by at least two witnesses . Congress is a political body and political disagreements routinely encountered should never be considered as treason . This allows for nonviolent resistance to the government because opposition is not a life or death proposition . However , Congress does provide for other lesser subversive crimes such as conspiracy . Article four Article Four outlines the relations among the states and between each state and the federal government . In addition , it provides for such matters as admitting new states and border changes between the states . For instance , it requires states to give `` full faith and credit '' to the public acts , records , and court proceedings of the other states . Congress is permitted to regulate the manner in which proof of such acts may be admitted . The `` privileges and immunities '' clause prohibits state governments from discriminating against citizens of other states in favor of resident citizens . For instance , in criminal sentencing , a state may not increase a penalty on the grounds that the convicted person is a non-resident . It also establishes extradition between the states , as well as laying down a legal basis for freedom of movement and travel amongst the states . Today , this provision is sometimes taken for granted , but in the days of the Articles of Confederation , crossing state lines was often arduous and costly . The Territorial Clause gives Congress the power to make rules for disposing of federal property and governing non-state territories of the United States . Finally , the fourth section of Article Four requires the United States to guarantee to each state a republican form of government , and to protect them from invasion and violence . Article five Article Five outlines the process for amending the Constitution . Eight state constitutions in effect in 1787 included an amendment mechanism . Amendment making power rested with the legislature in three of the states and in the other five it was given to specially elected conventions . The Articles of Confederation provided that amendments were to be proposed by Congress and ratified by the unanimous vote of all thirteen state legislatures . This proved to be a major flaw in the Articles , as it created an insurmountable obstacle to constitutional reform . The amendment process crafted during the Philadelphia Constitutional Convention was , according to The Federalist No. 43 , designed to establish a balance between pliancy and rigidity : It guards equally against that extreme facility which would render the Constitution too mutable ; and that extreme difficulty which might perpetuate its discovered faults . It moreover equally enables the General and the State Governments to originate the amendment of errors , as they may be pointed out by the experience on one side , or on the other . There are two steps in the amendment process . Proposals to amend the Constitution must be properly adopted and ratified before they change the Constitution . First , there are two procedures for adopting the language of a proposed amendment , either by ( a ) Congress , by two - thirds majority in both the Senate and the House of Representatives , or ( b ) national convention ( which shall take place whenever two - thirds of the state legislatures collectively call for one ) . Second , there are two procedures for ratifying the proposed amendment , which requires three - fourths of the states ' ( presently 38 of 50 ) approval : ( a ) consent of the state legislatures , or ( b ) consent of state ratifying conventions . The ratification method is chosen by Congress for each amendment . State ratifying conventions were used only once , for the Twenty - first Amendment . Presently , the Archivist of the United States is charged with responsibility for administering the ratification process under the provisions of 1 U.S. Code § 106b . The Archivist submits the proposed amendment to the states for their consideration by sending a letter of notification to each Governor . Each Governor then formally submits the amendment to their state 's legislature . When a state ratifies a proposed amendment , it sends the Archivist an original or certified copy of the state 's action . Ratification documents are examined by the Office of the Federal Register for facial legal sufficiency and an authenticating signature . Article Five ends by shielding certain clauses in the new frame of government from being amended . Article One , Section 9 , Clauses 1 prevents Congress from passing any law that would restrict the importation of slaves into the United States prior to 1808 , plus the fourth clause from that same section , which reiterates the Constitutional rule that direct taxes must be apportioned according to state populations . These clauses were explicitly shielded from Constitutional amendment prior to 1808 . On January 1 , 1808 , the first day it was permitted to do so , Congress approved legislation prohibiting the importation of slaves into the country . On February 3 , 1913 , with ratification of the Sixteenth Amendment , Congress gained the authority to levy an income tax without apportioning it among the states or basing it on the United States Census . The third textually entrenched provision is Article One , Section 3 , Clauses 1 , which provides for equal representation of the states in the Senate . The shield protecting this clause from the amendment process is less absolute -- `` no state , without its consent , shall be deprived of its equal Suffrage in the Senate '' -- but permanent . Article six Article Six establishes the Constitution , and all federal laws and treaties of the United States made according to it , to be the supreme law of the land , and that `` the judges in every state shall be bound thereby , any thing in the laws or constitutions of any state notwithstanding . '' It validates national debt created under the Articles of Confederation and requires that all federal and state legislators , officers , and judges take oaths or affirmations to support the Constitution . This means that the states ' constitutions and laws should not conflict with the laws of the federal constitution and that in case of a conflict , state judges are legally bound to honor the federal laws and constitution over those of any state . Article Six also states `` no religious Test shall ever be required as a Qualification to any Office or public Trust under the United States . '' Article seven Article Seven describes the process for establishing the proposed new frame of government . Anticipating that the influence of many state politicians would be Antifederalist , delegates to the Philadelphia Convention provided for ratification of the Constitution by popularly elected ratifying conventions in each state . The convention method also made it possible that judges , ministers and others ineligible to serve in state legislatures , could be elected to a convention . Suspecting that Rhode Island , at least , might not ratify , delegates decided that the Constitution would go into effect as soon as nine states ( two - thirds rounded up ) ratified . Once ratified by this minimum number of states , it was anticipated that the proposed Constitution would become this Constitution between the nine or more that signed . It would not cover the four or fewer states that might not have signed . Closing endorsement Closing endorsement section of the United States Constitution The Signing of the United States Constitution occurred on September 17 , 1787 , when 39 delegates to the Constitutional Convention endorsed the constitution created during the convention . In addition to signatures , this closing endorsement , the Constitution 's eschatocol , included a brief declaration that the delegates ' work has been successfully completed and that those whose signatures appear on it subscribe to the final document . Included are , a statement pronouncing the document 's adoption by the states present , a formulaic dating of its adoption , and the signatures of those endorsing it . Additionally , the convention 's secretary , William Jackson , signed the document to authenticate the validity of the delegate signatures . He also made a few secretarial notes . The language of the concluding endorsement , conceived by Gouverneur Morris and presented to the convention by Benjamin Franklin , was made intentionally ambiguous in hopes of winning over the votes of dissenting delegates . Advocates for the new frame of government , realizing the impending difficulty of obtaining the consent of the states needed to make it operational , were anxious to obtain the unanimous support of the delegations from each state . It was feared that many of the delegates would refuse to give their individual assent to the Constitution . Therefore , in order that the action of the Convention would appear to be unanimous , the formula , Done in convention by the unanimous consent of the states present ... was devised . The document is dated : `` the Seventeenth Day of September in the Year of our Lord '' 1787 , and `` of the Independence of the United States of America the Twelfth . '' This two-fold epoch dating serves to place the Constitution in the context of the religious traditions of Western civilization and , at the same time , links it to the regime principles proclaimed in the Declaration of Independence . This dual reference can also be found in the Articles of Confederation and the Northwest Ordinance . The closing endorsement serves an authentication function only . It neither assigns powers to the federal government nor does it provide specific limitations on government action . It does however , provide essential documentation of the Constitution 's validity , a statement of `` This is what was agreed to . '' It records who signed the Constitution , and when and where . Ratified Amendments See also : List of amendments to the United States Constitution United States Bill of Rights Currently housed in the National Archives . The Constitution has twenty - seven amendments . Structurally , the Constitution 's original text and all prior amendments remain untouched . The precedent for this practice was set in 1789 , when Congress considered and proposed the first several Constitutional amendments . Among these , Amendments 1 -- 10 are collectively known as the Bill of Rights , and Amendments 13 -- 15 are known as the Reconstruction Amendments . Excluding the Twenty - seventh Amendment , which was pending before the states for 202 years , 225 days , the longest pending amendment that was successfully ratified was the Twenty - second Amendment , which took 3 years , 343 days . The Twenty - sixth Amendment was ratified in the shortest time , 100 days . The average ratification time for the first twenty - six amendments was 1 year , 252 days , for all twenty - seven , 9 years , 48 days . A proposed amendment becomes an operative part of the Constitution as soon as it is ratified by three - fourths of the States ( currently 38 of the 50 States ) . There is no further step . The text requires no additional action by Congress or anyone else after ratification by the required number of states . Thus , when the Office of the Federal Register verifies that it has received the required number of authenticated ratification documents , it drafts a formal proclamation for the Archivist to certify that the amendment is valid and has become part of the nation 's frame of government . This certification is published in the Federal Register and United States Statutes at Large and serves as official notice to Congress and to the nation that the ratification process has been successfully completed . Safeguards of liberty ( Amendments 1 , 2 , and 3 ) The First Amendment ( 1791 ) prohibits Congress from obstructing the exercise of certain individual freedoms : freedom of religion , freedom of speech , freedom of the press , freedom of assembly , and right to petition . Its Free Exercise Clause guarantees a person 's right to hold whatever religious beliefs he or she wants , and to freely exercise that belief , and its Establishment Clause prevents the federal government from creating an official national church or favoring one set of religious beliefs over another . The amendment guarantees an individual 's right to express and to be exposed to a wide range of opinions and views . It was intended to ensure a free exchange of ideas , even unpopular ones . It also guarantees an individual 's right to physically gather or associate with others in groups for economic , political or religious purposes . Additionally , it guarantees an individual 's right to petition the government for a redress of grievances . The Second Amendment ( 1791 ) protects the right of individuals to keep and bear arms . Although the Supreme Court has ruled that this right applies to individuals , not merely to collective militias , it has also held that the government may regulate or place some limits on the manufacture , ownership and sale of firearms or other weapons . Requested by several states during the Constitutional ratification debates , the amendment reflected the lingering resentment over the widespread efforts of the British to confiscate the colonists ' firearms at the outbreak of the Revolutionary War . Patrick Henry had rhetorically asked , shall we be stronger , `` when we are totally disarmed , and when a British Guard shall be stationed in every house ? '' The Third Amendment ( 1791 ) prohibits the federal government from forcing individuals to provide lodging to soldiers in their homes during peacetime without their consent . Requested by several states during the Constitutional ratification debates , the amendment reflected the lingering resentment over the Quartering Acts passed by the British Parliament during the Revolutionary War , which had allowed British soldiers to take over private homes for their own use . Safeguards of Justice ( Amendments 4 , 5 , 6 , 7 , and 8 ) The Fourth Amendment ( 1791 ) protects people against unreasonable searches and seizures of either self or property by government officials . A search can mean everything from a frisking by a police officer or to a demand for a blood test to a search of an individual 's home or car . A seizure occurs when the government takes control of an individual or something in his or her possession . Items that are seized often are used as evidence when the individual is charged with a crime . It also imposes certain limitations on police investigating a crime and prevents the use of illegally obtained evidence at trial . The Fifth Amendment ( 1791 ) establishes the requirement that a trial for a major crime may commence only after an indictment has been handed down by a grand jury ; protects individuals from double jeopardy , being tried and put in danger of being punished more than once for the same criminal act ; prohibits punishment without due process of law , thus protecting individuals from being imprisoned without fair procedures ; and provides that an accused person may not be compelled to reveal to the police , prosecutor , judge , or jury any information that might incriminate or be used against him or her in a court of law . Additionally , the Fifth Amendment also prohibits government from taking private property for public use without `` just compensation '' , the basis of eminent domain in the United States . The Sixth Amendment ( 1791 ) provides several protections and rights to an individual accused of a crime . The accused has the right to a fair and speedy trial by a local and impartial jury . Likewise , a person has the right to a public trial . This right protects defendants from secret proceedings that might encourage abuse of the justice system , and serves to keep the public informed . This amendment also guarantees a right to legal counsel if accused of a crime , guarantees that the accused may require witnesses to attend the trial and testify in the presence of the accused , and guarantees the accused a right to know the charges against them . In 1966 , the Supreme Court ruled that , with the Fifth Amendment , this amendment requires what has become known as the Miranda warning . The Seventh Amendment ( 1791 ) extends the right to a jury trial to federal civil cases , and inhibits courts from overturning a jury 's findings of fact . Although the Seventh Amendment itself says that it is limited to `` suits at common law '' , meaning cases that triggered the right to a jury under English law , the amendment has been found to apply in lawsuits that are similar to the old common law cases . For example , the right to a jury trial applies to cases brought under federal statutes that prohibit race or gender discrimination in housing or employment . Importantly , this amendment guarantees the right to a jury trial only in federal court , not in state court . The Eighth Amendment ( 1791 ) protects people from having bail or fines set at an amount so high that it would be impossible for all but the richest defendants to pay and also protects people from being subjected to cruel and unusual punishment . Although this phrase originally was intended to outlaw certain gruesome methods of punishment , it has been broadened over the years to protect against punishments that are grossly disproportionate to or too harsh for the particular crime . This provision has also been used to challenge prison conditions such as extremely unsanitary cells , overcrowding , insufficient medical care and deliberate failure by officials to protect inmates from one another . Unenumerated Rights and reserved powers ( Amendments 9 and 10 ) The Ninth Amendment ( 1791 ) declares that individuals have other fundamental rights , in addition to those stated in the Constitution . During the Constitutional ratification debates Anti-Federalists argued that a Bill of Rights should be added . The Federalists opposed it on grounds that a list would necessarily be incomplete but would be taken as explicit and exhaustive , thus enlarging the power of the federal government by implication . The Anti-Federalists persisted , and several state ratification conventions refused to ratify the Constitution without a more specific list of protections , so the First Congress added what became the Ninth Amendment as a compromise . Because the rights protected by the Ninth Amendment are not specified , they are referred to as `` unenumerated '' . The Supreme Court has found that unenumerated rights include such important rights as the right to travel , the right to vote , the right to privacy , and the right to make important decisions about one 's health care or body . The Tenth Amendment ( 1791 ) was included in the Bill of Rights to further define the balance of power between the federal government and the states . The amendment states that the federal government has only those powers specifically granted by the Constitution . These powers include the power to declare war , to collect taxes , to regulate interstate business activities and others that are listed in the articles or in subsequent constitutional amendments . Any power not listed is , says the Tenth Amendment , left to the states or the people . While there is no specific list of what these `` reserved powers '' may be , the Supreme Court has ruled that laws affecting family relations , commerce within a state 's own borders , and local law enforcement activities , are among those specifically reserved to the states or the people . Governmental authority ( Amendments 11 , 16 , 18 , and 21 ) The Eleventh Amendment ( 1795 ) specifically prohibits federal courts from hearing cases in which a state is sued by an individual from another state or another country , thus extending to the states sovereign immunity protection from certain types of legal liability . Article Three , Section 2 , Clause 1 has been affected by this amendment , which also overturned the Supreme Court 's decision in Chisholm v. Georgia . The Sixteenth Amendment ( 1913 ) removed existing Constitutional constraints that limited the power of Congress to lay and collect taxes on income . Specifically , the apportionment constraints delineated in Article 1 , Section 9 , Clause 4 have been removed by this amendment , which also overturned an 1895 Supreme Court decision , in Pollock v. Farmers ' Loan & Trust Co. , that declared an unapportioned federal income tax on rents , dividends , and interest unconstitutional . This amendment has become the basis for all subsequent federal income tax legislation and has greatly expanded the scope of federal taxing and spending in the years since . The Eighteenth Amendment ( 1919 ) prohibited the making , transporting , and selling of alcoholic beverages nationwide . It also authorized Congress to enact legislation enforcing this prohibition . Adopted at the urging of a national temperance movement , proponents believed that the use of alcohol was reckless and destructive and that prohibition would reduce crime and corruption , solve social problems , decrease the need for welfare and prisons , and improve the health of all Americans . During prohibition , it is estimated that alcohol consumption and alcohol related deaths declined dramatically . But prohibition had other , more negative consequences . The amendment drove the lucrative alcohol business underground , giving rise to a large and pervasive black market . In addition , prohibition encouraged disrespect for the law and strengthened organized crime . Prohibition came to an end in 1933 , when this amendment was repealed . The Twenty - first Amendment ( 1933 ) repealed the Eighteenth Amendment and returned the regulation of alcohol to the states . Each state sets its own rules for the sale and importation of alcohol , including the drinking age . Because a federal law provides federal funds to states that prohibit the sale of alcohol to minors under the age of twenty - one , all fifty states have set their drinking age there . Rules about how alcohol is sold vary greatly from state to state . Safeguards of Civil Rights ( Amendments 13 , 14 , 15 , 19 , 23 , 24 , and 26 ) The Thirteenth Amendment ( 1865 ) abolished slavery and involuntary servitude , except as punishment for a crime , and authorized Congress to enforce abolition . Though millions of slaves had been declared free by the 1863 Emancipation Proclamation , their post Civil War status was unclear , as was the status of other millions . Congress intended the Thirteenth Amendment to be a proclamation of freedom for all slaves throughout the nation and to take the question of emancipation away from politics . This amendment rendered inoperative or moot several of the original parts of the constitution . The Fourteenth Amendment ( 1868 ) granted United States citizenship to former slaves and to all persons `` subject to U.S. jurisdiction '' . It also contained three new limits on state power : a state shall not violate a citizen 's privileges or immunities ; shall not deprive any person of life , liberty , or property without due process of law ; and must guarantee all persons equal protection of the laws . These limitations dramatically expanded the protections of the Constitution . This amendment , according to the Supreme Court 's Doctrine of Incorporation , makes most provisions of the Bill of Rights applicable to state and local governments as well . The mode of apportionment of representatives delineated in Article 1 , Section 2 , Clause 3 has been superseded by that of this amendment , which also overturned the Supreme Court 's decision in Dred Scott v. Sandford . The Fifteenth Amendment ( 1870 ) prohibits the use of race , color , or previous condition of servitude in determining which citizens may vote . The last of three post Civil War Reconstruction Amendments , it sought to abolish one of the key vestiges of slavery and to advance the civil rights and liberties of former slaves . The Nineteenth Amendment ( 1920 ) prohibits the government from denying women the right to vote on the same terms as men . Prior to the amendment 's adoption , only a few states permitted women to vote and to hold office . The Twenty - third Amendment ( 1961 ) extends the right to vote in presidential elections to citizens residing in the District of Columbia by granting the District electors in the Electoral College , as if it were a state . When first established as the nation 's capital in 1800 , the District of Columbia 's five thousand residents had neither a local government , nor the right to vote in federal elections . By 1960 the population of the District had grown to over 760,000 people . However , while its residents had all the responsibilities of citizenship , such as paying federal taxes , and could be drafted to serve in the military , citizens in thirteen states with lower populations had more voting rights than District residents . The Twenty - fourth Amendment ( 1964 ) prohibits a poll tax for voting . Although passage of the Thirteenth , Fourteenth , and Fifteenth Amendments helped remove many of the discriminatory laws left over from slavery , they did not eliminate all forms of discrimination . Along with literacy tests and durational residency requirements , poll taxes were used to keep low - income ( primarily African American ) citizens from participating in elections . The Supreme Court has since struck down these discriminatory measures , opening democratic participation to all , regardless of one 's ability to pay . The Twenty - sixth Amendment ( 1971 ) prohibits the government from denying the right of United States citizens , eighteen years of age or older , to vote on account of age . The drive to lower the voting age was driven in large part by the broader student activism movement protesting the Vietnam War . It gained strength following the Supreme Court 's decision in Oregon v. Mitchell , which held that Congress may set requirements for voting in federal elections , but not for state or local elections . The measure , which affirmed the Congress ' Voting Rights Act Amendments of 1970 , is another in a line of constitutional changes that expanded the right to vote to more citizens . Government processes and procedures ( Amendments 12 , 17 , 20 , 22 , 25 , and 27 ) The Twelfth Amendment ( 1804 ) modifies the way the Electoral College chooses the President and Vice President . It stipulates that each elector must cast a distinct vote for President and Vice President , instead of two votes for President . It also suggests that the President and Vice President should not be from the same state . Article II , Section 1 , Clause 3 is superseded by this amendment , which also extends the eligibility requirements to become President to the Vice President . The Seventeenth Amendment ( 1913 ) modifies the way senators are elected . It stipulates that senators are to be elected by direct popular vote . The amendment supersedes Article 1 , Section 2 , Clauses 1 and 2 , under which the two senators from each state were elected by the state legislature . It also allows state legislatures to permit their governors to make temporary appointments until a special election can be held . The Twentieth Amendment ( 1933 ) changes the date on which a new President , Vice President and Congress take office , thus shortening the time between Election Day and the beginning of Presidential , Vice Presidential and Congressional terms . Originally , the Constitution provided that the annual meeting was to be on the first Monday in December unless otherwise provided by law . This meant that , when a new Congress was elected in November , it did not come into office until the following March , with a `` lame duck '' Congress convening in the interim . By moving the beginning of the president 's new term from March 4 to January 20 ( and in the case of Congress , to January 3 ) , proponents hoped to put an end to lame duck sessions , while allowing for a speedier transition for the new administration and legislators . The Twenty - second Amendment ( 1951 ) limits an elected president to two terms in office , a total of eight years . However , under some circumstances it is possible for an individual to serve more than eight years . Although nothing in the original frame of government limited how many presidential terms one could serve , the nation 's first president , George Washington , declined to run for a third term , suggesting that two terms of four years were enough for any president . This precedent remained an unwritten rule of the presidency until broken by Franklin D. Roosevelt , who was elected to a third term as president 1940 and in 1944 to a fourth . The Twenty - fifth Amendment ( 1967 ) clarifies what happens upon the death , removal , or resignation of the President or Vice President and how the Presidency is temporarily filled if the President becomes disabled and can not fulfill the responsibilities of the office . It supersedes the ambiguous succession rule established in Article II , Section 1 , Clause 6 . A concrete plan of succession has been needed on multiple occasions since 1789 . However , for nearly 20 % of U.S. history , there has been no vice president in office who can assume the presidency . The Twenty - seventh Amendment ( 1992 ) prevents members of Congress from granting themselves pay raises during the current session . Rather , any raises that are adopted must take effect during the next session of Congress . Its proponents believed that Federal legislators would be more likely to be cautious about increasing congressional pay if they have no personal stake in the vote . Article One , section 6 , Clause 1 has been affected by this amendment , which remained pending for over two centuries as it contained no time limit for ratification . Unratified Amendments Collectively , members of the House and Senate typically propose around 200 amendments during each two - year term of Congress . Most however , never get out of the Congressional committees in which they were proposed , and only a fraction of those that do receive enough support to win Congressional approval to actually go through the constitutional ratification process . Six amendments approved by Congress and proposed to the states for consideration have not been ratified by the required number of states to become part of the Constitution . Four of these are technically still pending , as Congress did not set a time limit ( see also Coleman v. Miller ) for their ratification . The other two are no longer pending , as both had a time limit attached and in both cases the time period set for their ratification expired . Still pending The Congressional Apportionment Amendment ( proposed 1789 ) would , if ratified , establish a formula for determining the appropriate size of the House of Representatives and the appropriate apportionment of representatives among the states following each constitutionally mandated decennial census . At the time it was sent to the states for ratification , an affirmative vote by ten states would have made this amendment operational . In 1791 and 1792 , when Vermont and Kentucky joined the Union , the number climbed to twelve . Thus , the amendment remained one state shy of the number needed for it to become part of the Constitution . No additional states have ratified this amendment since . To become part of the Constitution today , ratification by an additional twenty - seven would be required . The Apportionment Act of 1792 apportioned the House of Representatives at 33,000 persons per representative in consequence of the 1790 census . Reapportionment has since been effected by statute . The Titles of Nobility Amendment ( proposed 1810 ) would , if ratified , strip United States citizenship from any citizen who accepted a title of nobility from a foreign country . When submitted to the states , ratification by thirteen states was required for it to become part of the Constitution ; eleven had done so by early 1812 . However , with the addition of Louisiana into the Union that year ( April 30 , 1812 ) , the ratification threshold rose to fourteen . Thus , when New Hampshire ratified it in December 1812 , the amendment again came within two states of being ratified . No additional states have ratified this amendment since . To become part of the Constitution today , ratification by an additional twenty - six would be required . The Corwin Amendment ( proposed 1861 ) would , if ratified , shield `` domestic institutions '' of the states ( which in 1861 included slavery ) from the constitutional amendment process and from abolition or interference by Congress . This proposal was one of several measures considered by Congress in an ultimately unsuccessful attempt to attract the seceding states back into the Union and to entice border slave states to stay . Five states ratified the amendment in the early 1860s , but none have since . To become part of the Constitution today , ratification by an additional 33 states would be required . The subject of this proposal was subsequently addressed by the 1865 Thirteenth Amendment , which abolished slavery . The Child Labor Amendment ( proposed 1924 ) would , if ratified , specifically authorize Congress to limit , regulate and prohibit labor of persons less than eighteen years of age . The amendment was proposed in response to Supreme Court rulings in Hammer v. Dagenhart ( 1918 ) and Bailey v. Drexel Furniture Co. ( 1922 ) that found federal laws regulating and taxing goods produced by employees under the ages of 14 and 16 unconstitutional . When submitted to the states , ratification by 36 states was required for it to become part of the Constitution , as there were forty - eight states . Twenty - eight had ratified the amendment by early 1937 , but none have done so since . To become part of the Constitution today , ratification by an additional ten would be required . A federal statute approved June 25 , 1938 , regulated the employment of those under 16 or 18 years of age in interstate commerce . The Supreme Court , by unanimous vote in United States v. Darby Lumber Co. ( 1941 ) , found this law constitutional , effectively overturning Hammer v. Dagenhart . As a result of this development , the movement pushing for the amendment concluded . No longer pending The Equal Rights Amendment ( proposed 1972 ) would have prohibited deprivation of equality of rights ( discrimination ) by the federal or state governments on account of sex . A seven - year ratification time limit was initially placed on the amendment , but as the deadline approached , Congress granted a three - year extension . Thirty - five states ratified the proposed amendment prior to the original deadline , three short of the number required for it to be implemented ( five of them later voted to rescind their ratification ) . No further states ratified the amendment within the extended deadline , thus it failed to be adopted . On March 22 , 2017 , the 45th anniversary of Congress ' submission of the ERA to the nation 's state lawmakers , the Nevada Legislature became the first to ratify the ERA after the expiration of both deadlines with its adoption of Senate Joint Resolution No. 2 ( designated as `` POM - 15 '' by the U.S. Senate and published verbatim in the Congressional Record of April 5 , 2017 , at pages S2361 and S2362 ) . The Illinois General Assembly ratified the ERA on May 30 , 2018 . The District of Columbia Voting Rights Amendment ( proposed 1978 ) would have granted the District of Columbia full representation in the United States Congress as if it were a state , repealed the 23rd Amendment , granted the District unconditional Electoral College voting rights , and allowed its participation in the process by which the Constitution is amended . A seven - year ratification time limit was placed on the amendment . Sixteen states ratified the amendment ( twenty - two short of the number required for it to be implemented ) prior to the deadline , thus it failed to be adopted . Judicial review See also : Judicial review in the United States , Judicial review , and Appeal § Appellate review The way the Constitution is understood is influenced by court decisions , especially those of the Supreme Court . These decisions are referred to as precedents . Judicial review is the power of the Court to examine federal legislation , federal executive , and all state branches of government , to decide their constitutionality , and to strike them down if found unconstitutional . Judicial review includes the power of the Court to explain the meaning of the Constitution as it applies to particular cases . Over the years , Court decisions on issues ranging from governmental regulation of radio and television to the rights of the accused in criminal cases have changed the way many constitutional clauses are interpreted , without amendment to the actual text of the Constitution . Legislation passed to implement the Constitution , or to adapt those implementations to changing conditions , broadens and , in subtle ways , changes the meanings given to the words of the Constitution . Up to a point , the rules and regulations of the many federal executive agencies have a similar effect . If an action of Congress or the agencies is challenged , however , it is the court system that ultimately decides whether these actions are permissible under the Constitution . The Supreme Court has indicated that once the Constitution has been extended to an area ( by Congress or the Courts ) , its coverage is irrevocable . To hold that the political branches may switch the Constitution on or off at will would lead to a regime in which they , not this Court , say `` what the law is '' . Scope and theory Courts established by the Constitution can regulate government under the Constitution , the supreme law of the land . First , they have jurisdiction over actions by an officer of government and state law . Second , federal courts may rule on whether coordinate branches of national government conform to the Constitution . Until the twentieth century , the Supreme Court of the United States may have been the only high tribunal in the world to use a court for constitutional interpretation of fundamental law , others generally depending on their national legislature . Early Court roots in the founding John Jay , 1789 -- 1795 New York co-author The Federalist Papers John Marshall , 1801 -- 1835 Fauquier County delegate Virginia Ratification Convention The basic theory of American Judicial review is summarized by constitutional legal scholars and historians as follows : the written Constitution is fundamental law . It can change only by extraordinary legislative process of national proposal , then state ratification . The powers of all departments are limited to enumerated grants found in the Constitution . Courts are expected ( a ) to enforce provisions of the Constitution as the supreme law of the land , and ( b ) to refuse to enforce anything in conflict with it . In Convention . As to judicial review and the Congress , the first proposals by Madison ( Va ) and Wilson ( Pa ) called for a supreme court veto over national legislation . In this it resembled the system in New York , where the Constitution of 1777 called for a `` Council of Revision '' by the Governor and Justices of the state supreme court . The Council would review and in a way , veto any passed legislation violating the spirit of the Constitution before it went into effect . The nationalist 's proposal in Convention was defeated three times , and replaced by a presidential veto with Congressional over-ride . Judicial review relies on the jurisdictional authority in Article III , and the Supremacy Clause . The justification for judicial review is to be explicitly found in the open ratifications held in the states and reported in their newspapers . John Marshall in Virginia , James Wilson in Pennsylvania and Oliver Ellsworth of Connecticut all argued for Supreme Court judicial review of acts of state legislature . In Federalist No. 78 , Alexander Hamilton advocated the doctrine of a written document held as a superior enactment of the people . `` A limited constitution can be preserved in practice no other way '' than through courts which can declare void any legislation contrary to the Constitution . The preservation of the people 's authority over legislatures rests `` particularly with judges '' . The Supreme Court was initially made up of jurists who had been intimately connected with the framing of the Constitution and the establishment of its government as law . John Jay ( New York ) , a co-author of The Federalist Papers , served as Chief Justice for the first six years . The second Chief Justice for a term of four years , was Oliver Ellsworth ( Connecticut ) , a delegate in the Constitutional Convention , as was John Rutledge ( South Carolina ) , Washington 's recess appointment as Chief Justice who served in 1795 . John Marshall ( Virginia ) , the fourth Chief Justice , had served in the Virginia Ratification Convention in 1788 . His service on the Court would extend 34 years over some of the most important rulings to help establish the nation the Constitution had begun . In the first years of the Supreme Court , members of the Constitutional Convention who would serve included James Wilson ( Pennsylvania ) for ten years , John Blair Jr . ( Virginia ) for five , and John Rutledge ( South Carolina ) for one year as Justice , then Chief Justice in 1795 . Establishment When John Marshall followed Oliver Ellsworth as Chief Justice of the Supreme Court in 1801 , the federal judiciary had been established by the Judiciary Act , but there were few cases , and less prestige . `` The fate of judicial review was in the hands of the Supreme Court itself . '' Review of state legislation and appeals from state supreme courts was understood . But the Court 's life , jurisdiction over state legislation was limited . The Marshall Court 's landmark Barron v. Baltimore held that the Bill of Rights restricted only the federal government , and not the states . In the landmark Marbury v. Madison case , the Supreme Court asserted its authority of judicial review over Acts of Congress . Its findings were that Marbury and the others had a right to their commissions as judges in the District of Columbia . Marshall , writing the opinion for the majority , announced his discovered conflict between Section 13 of the Judiciary Act of 1789 and Article III . In this case , both the Constitution and the statutory law applied to the particulars at the same time . `` The very essence of judicial duty '' according to Marshall was to determine which of the two conflicting rules should govern . The Constitution enumerates powers of the judiciary to extend to cases arising `` under the Constitution '' . Further , justices take a Constitutional oath to uphold it as `` Supreme law of the land '' . Therefore , since the United States government as created by the Constitution is a limited government , the Federal courts were required to choose the Constitution over Congressional law if there were deemed to be a conflict . `` This argument has been ratified by time and by practice ... '' The Supreme Court did not declare another Act of Congress unconstitutional until the controversial Dred Scott decision in 1857 , held after the voided Missouri Compromise statute had already been repealed . In the eighty years following the Civil War to World War II , the Court voided Congressional statutes in 77 cases , on average almost one a year . Something of a crisis arose when , in 1935 and 1936 , the Supreme Court handed down twelve decisions voiding Acts of Congress relating to the New Deal . President Franklin D. Roosevelt then responded with his abortive `` court packing plan '' . Other proposals have suggested a Court super-majority to overturn Congressional legislation , or a Constitutional Amendment to require that the Justices retire at a specified age by law . To date , the Supreme Court 's power of judicial review has persisted . Self - restraint The power of judicial review could not have been preserved long in a democracy unless it had been `` wielded with a reasonable measure of judicial restraint , and with some attention , as Mr. Dooley said , to the election returns . '' Indeed , the Supreme Court has developed a system of doctrine and practice that self - limits its power of judicial review . The Court controls almost all of its business by choosing what cases to consider , writs of certiorari . In this way , it can avoid opinions on embarrassing or difficult cases . The Supreme Court limits itself by defining for itself what is a `` justiciable question . '' First , the Court is fairly consistent in refusing to make any `` advisory opinions '' in advance of actual cases . Second , `` friendly suits '' between those of the same legal interest are not considered . Third , the Court requires a `` personal interest '' , not one generally held , and a legally protected right must be immediately threatened by government action . Cases are not taken up if the litigant has no standing to sue . Simply having the money to sue and being injured by government action are not enough . These three procedural ways of dismissing cases have led critics to charge that the Supreme Court delays decisions by unduly insisting on technicalities in their `` standards of litigability '' . They say cases are left unconsidered which are in the public interest , with genuine controversy , and resulting from good faith action . `` The Supreme Court is not only a court of law but a court of justice . '' Separation of powers The Supreme Court balances several pressures to maintain its roles in national government . It seeks to be a co-equal branch of government , but its decrees must be enforceable . The Court seeks to minimize situations where it asserts itself superior to either President or Congress , but federal officers must be held accountable . The Supreme Court assumes power to declare acts of Congress as unconstitutional but it self - limits its passing on constitutional questions . But the Court 's guidance on basic problems of life and governance in a democracy is most effective when American political life reinforce its rulings . Justice Brandeis summarized four general guidelines that the Supreme Court uses to avoid constitutional decisions relating to Congress : The Court will not anticipate a question of constitutional law nor decide open questions unless a case decision requires it . If it does , a rule of constitutional law is formulated only as the precise facts in the case require . The Court will choose statutes or general law for the basis of its decision if it can without constitutional grounds . If it does , the Court will choose a constitutional construction of an Act of Congress , even if its constitutionality is seriously in doubt . Likewise with the Executive Department , Edwin Corwin observed that the Court does sometimes rebuff presidential pretensions , but it more often tries to rationalize them . Against Congress , an Act is merely `` disallowed '' . In the executive case , exercising judicial review produces `` some change in the external world '' beyond the ordinary judicial sphere . The `` political question '' doctrine especially applies to questions which present a difficult enforcement issue . Chief Justice Charles Evans Hughes addressed the Court 's limitation when political process allowed future policy change , but a judicial ruling would `` attribute finality '' . Political questions lack `` satisfactory criteria for a judicial determination '' . John Marshall recognized that the president holds `` important political powers '' which as Executive privilege allows great discretion . This doctrine was applied in Court rulings on President Grant 's duty to enforce the law during Reconstruction . It extends to the sphere of foreign affairs . Justice Robert Jackson explained , Foreign affairs are inherently political , `` wholly confided by our Constitution to the political departments of the government ... ( and ) not subject to judicial intrusion or inquiry . '' Critics of the Court object in two principal ways to self - restraint in judicial review , deferring as it does as a matter of doctrine to Acts of Congress and Presidential actions . Its inaction is said to allow `` a flood of legislative appropriations '' which permanently create an imbalance between the states and federal government . Supreme Court deference to Congress and the executive compromises American protection of civil rights , political minority groups and aliens . Further information : Separation of powers under the United States Constitution Subsequent courts Main article : History of the Supreme Court of the United States Supreme Courts under the leadership of subsequent Chief Justices have also used judicial review to interpret the Constitution among individuals , states and federal branches . Notable contributions were made by the Chase Court , the Taft Court , the Warren Court , and the Rehnquist Court . Further information : List of United States Supreme Court cases by the Chase Court Salmon P. Chase was a Lincoln appointee , serving as Chief Justice from 1864 to 1873 . His career encompassed service as a U.S. Senator and Governor of Ohio . He coined the slogan , `` Free soil , free Labor , free men . '' One of Lincoln 's `` team of rivals '' , he was appointed Secretary of Treasury during the Civil War , issuing `` greenbacks '' . To appease radical Republicans , Lincoln appointed him to replace Chief Justice Roger B. Taney of Dred Scott case fame . In one of his first official acts , Chase admitted John Rock , the first African - American to practice before the Supreme Court . The `` Chase Court '' is famous for Texas v. White , which asserted a permanent Union of indestructible states . Veazie Bank v. Fenno upheld the Civil War tax on state banknotes . Hepburn v. Griswold found parts of the Legal Tender Acts unconstitutional , though it was reversed under a late Supreme Court majority . Further information : List of United States Supreme Court cases by the Taft Court Scope of judicial review expanded Salmon P. Chase Union , Reconstruction William Howard Taft commerce , incorporation Earl Warren due process , civil rights William Rehnquist federalism , privacy William Howard Taft was a Harding appointment to Chief Justice from 1921 to 1930 . A Progressive Republican from Ohio , he was a one - term President . As Chief Justice , he advocated the Judiciary Act of 1925 that brought the Federal District Courts under the administrative jurisdiction of the Supreme Court . Taft successfully sought the expansion of Court jurisdiction over non - states such as District of Columbia and Territories of Alaska and Hawaii . In 1925 , the Taft Court issued a ruling overturning a Marshall Court ruling on the Bill of Rights . In Gitlow v. New York , the Court established the doctrine of `` incorporation which applied the Bill of Rights to the states . Important cases included the Board of Trade of City of Chicago v. Olsen that upheld Congressional regulation of commerce . Olmstead v. United States allowed exclusion of evidence obtained without a warrant based on application of the 14th Amendment proscription against unreasonable searches . Wisconsin v. Illinois ruled the equitable power of the United States can impose positive action on a state to prevent its inaction from damaging another state . Further information : List of United States Supreme Court cases by the Warren Court Earl Warren was an Eisenhower nominee , Chief Justice from 1953 to 1969 . Warren 's Republican career in the law reached from County Prosecutor , California state attorney general , and three consecutive terms as Governor . His programs stressed progressive efficiency , expanding state education , re-integrating returning veterans , infrastructure and highway construction . In 1954 , the Warren Court overturned a landmark Fuller Court ruling on the Fourteenth Amendment interpreting racial segregation as permissible in government and commerce providing `` separate but equal '' services . Warren built a coalition of Justices after 1962 that developed the idea of natural rights as guaranteed in the Constitution . Brown v. Board of Education banned segregation in public schools . Baker v. Carr and Reynolds v. Sims established Court ordered `` one - man - one - vote '' . Bill of Rights Amendments were incorporated into the states . Due process was expanded in Gideon v. Wainwright and Miranda v. Arizona . First Amendment rights were addressed in Griswold v. Connecticut concerning privacy , and Engel v. Vitale relative to free speech . Further information : List of United States Supreme Court cases by the Rehnquist Court William Rehnquist was a Reagan appointment to Chief Justice , serving from 1986 to 2005 . While he would concur with overthrowing a state supreme court 's decision , as in Bush v. Gore , he built a coalition of Justices after 1994 that developed the idea of federalism as provided for in the Tenth Amendment . In the hands of the Supreme Court , the Constitution and its Amendments were to restrain Congress , as in City of Boerne v. Flores . Nevertheless , the Rehnquist Court was noted in the contemporary `` culture wars '' for overturning state laws relating to privacy prohibiting late - term abortions in Stenberg v. Carhart , prohibiting sodomy in Lawrence v. Texas , or ruling so as to protect free speech in Texas v. Johnson or affirmative action in Grutter v. Bollinger . Civic religion Main article : American civil religion There is a viewpoint that some Americans have come to see the documents of the Constitution , along with the Declaration of Independence and the Bill of Rights , as being a cornerstone of a type of civil religion . This is suggested by the prominent display of the Constitution , along with the Declaration of Independence and the Bill of Rights , in massive , bronze - framed , bulletproof , moisture - controlled glass containers vacuum - sealed in a rotunda by day and in multi-ton bomb - proof vaults by night at the National Archives Building . The idea of displaying the documents struck one academic critic looking from the point of view of the 1776 or 1789 America as `` idolatrous , and also curiously at odds with the values of the Revolution '' . By 1816 , Jefferson wrote that `` ( s ) ome men look at constitutions with sanctimonious reverence and deem them like the Ark of the Covenant , too sacred to be touched '' . But he saw imperfections and imagined that there could potentially be others , believing as he did that `` institutions must advance also '' . Some commentators depict the multi-ethnic , multi-sectarian United States as held together by a political orthodoxy , in contrast with a nation state of people having more `` natural '' ties . Worldwide influence Main article : United States Constitution and worldwide influence José Rizal Sun Yat - sen The United States Constitution has been a notable model for governance around the world . Its international influence is found in similarities of phrasing and borrowed passages in other constitutions , as well as in the principles of the rule of law , separation of powers and recognition of individual rights . The American experience of fundamental law with amendments and judicial review has motivated constitutionalists at times when they were considering the possibilities for their nation 's future . It informed Abraham Lincoln during the American Civil War , his contemporary and ally Benito Juárez of Mexico , and the second generation of 19th - century constitutional nationalists , José Rizal of the Philippines and Sun Yat - sen of China . Since the latter half of the 20th century , the influence of the United States Constitution may be waning as other countries have revised their constitutions with new influences . Criticisms Further information : History of the United States Constitution § Criticism of the Constitution The United States Constitution has faced various criticisms since its inception in 1787 . The Constitution did not originally define who was eligible to vote , allowing each state to determine who was eligible . In the early history of the U.S. , most states allowed only white male adult property owners to vote . Until the Reconstruction Amendments were adopted between 1865 and 1870 , the five years immediately following the Civil War , the Constitution did not abolish slavery , nor give citizenship and voting rights to former slaves . These amendments did not include a specific prohibition on discrimination on the basis of sex ; it took another amendment -- the Nineteenth , ratified in 1920 -- for the Constitution to prohibit any United States citizen from being denied the right to vote on the basis of sex .

Earlier written constitutions of independent states exist but were not adopted by bodies elected by the people , such as the Swedish Constitution of 1772 , adopted by the king , the Constitution of San Marino of 1600 which is the oldest surviving constitution in the world , or the Constitution of Pylyp Orlyk , the first establishing separation of powers .

Jump up ^ Contrary to this source when viewed , the Constitution provides that punishments , including forfeiture of income and property , must apply to the person convicted . `` No attainder of treason shall work corruption of blood or forfeiture '' on the convicted traitor 's children or heirs . This avoids the perpetuation of civil war into the generations by Parliamentary majorities as in the Wars of the Roses . Jump up ^ Downes v. Bidwell , 182 U.S. 244 , 261 ( 1901 ) , commenting on an earlier Supreme Court decision , Loughborough v. Blake , 18 U.S. ( 5 Wheat . ) 317 ( 1820 ) ; Rasmussen v. United States , 197 U.S. 516 , 529 -- 530 , 536 ( 1905 ) ( concurring opinions of Justices Harlan and Brown ) , that once the Constitution has been extended to an area , its coverage is irrevocable ; Boumediene v. Bush -- That where the Constitution has been once formally extended by Congress to territories , neither Congress nor the territorial legislature can enact laws inconsistent therewith . The Constitution grants Congress and the President the power to acquire , dispose of , and govern territory , not the power to decide when and where its terms apply . Jump up ^ The Supreme Court found 658 cases of invalid state statutes from 1790 to 1941 before the advent of civil rights cases in the last half of the twentieth century Jump up ^ In this , John Marshall leaned on the argument of Hamilton in Federalist No. 78 . Jump up ^ Although it may be that the true meaning of the Constitution to the people of the United States in 1788 can only be divined by a study of the state ratification conventions , the Supreme Court has used The Federalist Papers as a supplemental guide to the Constitution since their co-author , John Jay , was the first Chief Justice . Jump up ^ The entire quote reads , `` This argument has been ratified by time and by practice , and there is little point in quibbling with it . Of course , the President also takes an oath to support the Constitution . '' Jump up ^ The presidential reference is to Andrew Jackson 's disagreement with Marshall 's Court over Worcester v. Georgia , finding Georgia could not impose its laws in Cherokee Territory . Jackson replied , `` John Marshall has made his decision ; now let him enforce it ! '' , and the Trail of Tears proceeded . Jackson would not politically interpose the U.S. Army between Georgia and the Cherokee people as Eisenhower would do between Arkansas and the integrating students . Jump up ^ `` Advisory opinions '' are not the same as `` declaratory judgments . '' ( a ) These address rights and legal relationships in cases of `` actual controversy '' , and ( b ) the holding has the force and effect of a final judgment . ( c ) There is no coercive order , as the parties are assumed to follow the judgment , but a `` declaratory judgment '' is the basis of any subsequent ruling in case law .

Jump up ^ The institutions of the two countries which have most influenced constitutional development are Spain and the United States `` .

the term used to refer to the official approval of the constitution by the states
[ "The United States Constitution is the supreme law of the United States.[1] The Constitution, originally comprising seven articles, delineates the national frame of government. Its first three articles embody the doctrine of the separation of powers, whereby the federal government is divided into three branches: the legislative, consisting of the bicameral Congress; the executive, consisting of the President; and the judicial, consisting of the Supreme Court and other federal courts. Articles Four, Five and Six embody concepts of federalism, describing the rights and responsibilities of state governments and of the states in relationship to the federal government. Article Seven establishes the procedure subsequently used by the thirteen States to ratify it. It is regarded as the oldest written and codified national constitution in force.[2]\n" ]

Potassium in biology
Potassium in Biology - wikipedia Potassium in Biology Potassium is an essential mineral micronutrient and is the main intracellular ion for all types of cells , while having a major role in maintenance of fluid and electrolyte balance . Potassium is necessary for the function of all living cells , and is thus present in all plant and animal tissues . It is found in especially high concentrations within plant cells , and in a mixed diet , it is most highly concentrated in fruits . The high concentration of potassium in plants , associated with comparatively very low amounts of sodium there , historically resulted in potassium first being isolated from the ashes of plants ( potash ) , which in turn gave the element its modern name . The high concentration of potassium in plants means that heavy crop production rapidly depletes soils of potassium , and agricultural fertilizers consume 93 % of the potassium chemical production of the modern world economy . The functions of potassium and sodium in living organisms are quite different . Animals , in particular , employ sodium and potassium differentially to generate electrical potentials in animal cells , especially in nervous tissue . Potassium depletion in animals , including humans , results in various neurological dysfunctions . Characteristic concentrations of potassium in model organisms are : 30 - 300mM in E. coli , 300mM in budding yeast , 100mM in mammalian cell and 4mM in blood plasma . Contents 1 Function in plants 2 Function in animals 3 Dietary recommendations 4 Food sources 5 Deficiency 5.1 High blood pressure / Hypertension 5.2 Hypokalemia 5.3 Insufficient intake 6 Side effects and toxicity 7 See also 8 References 9 External links Function in plants ( edit ) See also : Potassium deficiency ( plants ) Function in animals ( edit ) Potassium is the major cation ( positive ion ) inside animal cells , while sodium is the major cation outside animal cells . The difference between the concentrations of these charged particles causes a difference in electric potential between the inside and outside of cells , known as the membrane potential . The balance between potassium and sodium is maintained by ion transporters in the cell membrane . All potassium ion channels are tetramers with several conserved secondary structural elements . A number of potassium channel structures have been solved including voltage gated , ligand gated , tandem - pore , and inwardly rectifying channels , from prokaryotes and eukaryotes . The cell membrane potential created by potassium and sodium ions allows the cell to generate an action potential -- a `` spike '' of electrical discharge . The ability of cells to produce electrical discharge is critical for body functions such as neurotransmission , muscle contraction , and heart function . Dietary recommendations ( edit ) The U.S. Institute of Medicine ( IOM ) sets Estimated Average Requirements ( EARs ) and Recommended Dietary Allowances ( RDAs ) , or Adequate Intakes ( AIs ) for when there is not sufficient information to set EARs and RDAs . Collectively the EARs , RDAs , AIs and ULs are referred to as Dietary Reference Intakes . The current AI for potassium for women and men ages 14 and up is 4700 mg . AI for pregnancy equals 4700 mg / day . AI for lactation equals 5100 mg / day . For infants 0 -- 6 months 400 mg , 6 -- 12 months 700 mg , 1 -- 13 years increasing from 3000 to 4500 mg / day . As for safety , the IOM also sets Tolerable upper intake levels ( ULs ) for vitamins and minerals , but for potassium the evidence was insufficient , so no UL established . The European Food Safety Authority ( EFSA ) refers to the collective set of information as Dietary Reference Values , with Population Reference Intake ( PRI ) instead of RDA , and Average Requirement instead of EAR . AI and UL defined the same as in United States . For people ages 15 and older the AI is set at 3,500 mg / day . AIs for pregnancy is 3,500 mg / day , for lactation 4,000 mg / day . For children ages 1 -- 14 years the AIs increase with age from 800 to 2,700 mg / day . These AIs are lower than the U.S. RDAs . The EFSA reviewed the same safety question and decided that there was insufficient data to establish a UL for potassium . For U.S. food and dietary supplement labeling purposes the amount in a serving is expressed as a percent of Daily Value ( % DV ) . For potassium labeling purposes 100 % of the Daily Value was 3500 mg , but as of May 2016 it has been revised to 4700 mg . A table of the pre-change adult Daily Values is provided at Reference Daily Intake . Food and supplement companies have until July 2018 to comply with the change . Food sources ( edit ) Eating a variety of foods that contain potassium is the best way to get an adequate amount . Foods with high sources of potassium include kiwifruit , orange juice , potatoes , bananas , coconut , avocados , apricots , parsnips and turnips , although many other fruits , vegetables , legumes , and meats contain potassium . Common foods very high in potassium : beans ( white beans and others ) , dark leafy greens ( spinach , Swiss chard , and others ) , baked potatoes , dried fruit ( apricots , peaches , prunes , raisins ; figs and dates ) , baked squash , yogurt , fish ( salmon ) , avocado , and banana ; nuts ( pistachios , almonds , walnuts , etc . ) and seeds ( squash , pumpkin , sunflower ) The most concentrated foods ( per 100 grams ) are : dried herbs , sun dried tomatoes , dark chocolate , whey powder , paprika , yeast extract , rice bran , molasses , and dry roasted soybeans Deficiency ( edit ) High blood pressure / hypertension ( edit ) Diets low in potassium increase risk of hypertension , stroke and cardiovascular disease . Hypokalemia ( edit ) A severe shortage of potassium in body fluids may cause a potentially fatal condition known as hypokalemia . Hypokalemia typically results from loss of potassium through diarrhea , diuresis , or vomiting . Symptoms are related to alterations in membrane potential and cellular metabolism . Symptoms include muscle weakness and cramps , paralytic ileus , ECG abnormalities , intestinal paralysis , decreased reflex response and ( in severe cases ) respiratory paralysis , alkalosis and arrhythmia . In rare cases , habitual consumption of large amounts of black licorice has resulted in hypokalemia . Licorice contains a compound ( Glycyrrhizin ) that increases urinary excretion of potassium . Insufficient intake ( edit ) Adult women in the United States consume on average half the AI , for men two - thirds . For all adults , fewer than 5 % exceed the AI . Similarly , in the European Union , insufficient potassium intake is widespread . Side effects and toxicity ( edit ) Gastrointestinal symptoms are the most common side effects of potassium supplements , including nausea , vomiting , abdominal discomfort , and diarrhea . Taking potassium with meals or taking a microencapsulated form of potassium may reduce gastrointestinal side effects . Hyperkalemia is the most serious adverse reaction to potassium . Hyperkalemia occurs when potassium builds up faster than the kidneys can remove it . It is most common in individuals with renal failure . Symptoms of hyperkalemia may include tingling of the hands and feet , muscular weakness , and temporary paralysis . The most serious complication of hyperkalemia is the development of an abnormal heart rhythm ( arrhythmia ) , which can lead to cardiac arrest . Although hyperkalemia is rare in healthy individuals , oral doses greater than 18 grams taken at one time in individuals not accustomed to high intakes can lead to hyperkalemia . Supplements sold in the U.S. are supposed to contain no more than 99 mg of potassium per serving .

1 Corinthians 13
1 Corinthians 13 - wikipedia 1 Corinthians 13 1 Corinthians 13 ← chapter 12 chapter 14 → 1 Corinthians 7 : 33 -- 8 : 4 in Papyrus 15 , written in the 3rd century Book First Epistle to the Corinthians Bible part New Testament Order in the Bible part 7 Pauline epistles 1 Corinthians 13 is the thirteenth chapter of the First Epistle to the Corinthians in the New Testament of the Christian Bible . It is authored by Paul the Apostle and Sosthenes in Ephesus . This chapter covers the subject of `` love . '' In the original Greek , the word ἀγάπη agape is used throughout . This is translated into English as `` charity '' in the King James version ; but the word `` love '' is preferred by most other translations , both earlier and more recent . Contents 1 Text 1.1 English translation 2 Agape 3 `` Through a glass , darkly '' 4 Other notable passages 4.1 Verse 1 4.2 Verse 4 - 8 4.3 Verse 11 4.4 Verse 13 4.5 Abridged Verses 5 Adaptations 6 See also 7 References 8 External links Text ( edit ) The original text is written in Koine Greek . Some most ancient manuscripts containing this chapter are : Codex Vaticanus ( AD 325 - 350 ) Codex Sinaiticus ( AD 330 - 360 ) Codex Alexandrinus ( ca . AD 400 - 440 ) Codex Ephraemi Rescriptus ( ca . AD 450 ; extant : verses 1 - 7 ) . Codex Claromontanus ( ca . AD 550 ) This chapter is divided into 13 verses . English translation ( edit ) New King James Version 1 Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels , but have not love I am only a resounding gong or clanging cymbal. 2 And though I have the gift of prophecy , and can understand all mysteries and all knowledge , and though I have faith , that can move mountains , but have not love , I am nothing . 3 And though I give all I possess to the poor , and surrender my body to the flames , but have not love , I gain nothing . 4 Love suffers long and is kind ; love does not envy ; love does not parade itself , is not puffed up ; 5 does not behave rudely , does not seek its own , is not provoked , thinks no evil ; 6 does not rejoice in iniquity , but rejoices in the truth ; 7 bears all things , believes all things , hopes all things , endures all things . 8 Love never fails . But whether there are prophecies , they will fail ; whether there are tongues , they will cease ; whether there is knowledge , it will vanish away . 9 For we know in part and we prophesy in part . 10 But when that which is perfect has come , then that which is in part will be done away . 11 When I was a child , I spoke as a child , I understood as a child , I thought as a child ; but when I became a man , I put away childish things . 12 For now we see in a mirror , darkly , but then face to face . Now I know in part , but then I shall know just as I also am known . 13 And now abide faith , hope , love , these three ; but the greatest of these is love . Agape ( edit ) Main article : Agape This chapter of 1 Corinthians is one of many definitional sources for the word agape when used to refer to divine love . Introducing his homage to love in 1 Corinthians 12 : 31 , Paul describes agape as `` a more excellent way '' . `` Through a glass , darkly '' ( edit ) 1 Corinthians 13 : 12 contains the phrase βλέπομεν γὰρ ἄρτι δι ' ἐσόπτρου ἐν αἰνίγματι ( blepomen gar arti di esoptrou en ainigmati ) , which was translated in the 1560 Geneva Bible as `` For now we see through a glass darkly '' ( without a comma ) , which wording was used in the 1611 KJV , which added a comma before `` darkly '' . This passage has inspired the titles of many works , with or without the comma . The word ἐσόπτρου esoptrou ( genitive ; nominative : ἔσοπτρον esoptron ) , here translated `` glass '' , is ambiguous , possibly referring to a mirror or a lens . Influenced by Strong 's Concordance , many modern translations conclude that this word refers specifically to a mirror . Example English - language translations include : Now we see but a poor reflection as in a mirror ( New International Version ) What we see now is like a dim image in a mirror ( Good News Bible ) Paul 's usage is in keeping with rabbinic use of the term אספקלריה ( aspaklaria ) , a borrowing from the Latin specularia . This has the same ambiguous meaning , although Adam Clarke concluded that it was a reference to specularibus lapidibus , clear polished stones used as lenses or windows . One way to preserve this ambiguity is to use the English cognate , speculum . Rabbi Judah ben Ilai ( 2nd century ) was quoted as saying `` All the prophets had a vision of God as He appeared through nine specula '' while `` Moses saw God through one speculum . '' The Babylonian Talmud states similarly `` All the prophets gazed through a speculum that does not shine , while Moses our teacher gazed through a speculum that shines . '' Other notable passages ( edit ) There are other passages from 1 Corinthians 13 which have been notably influential . Perhaps the most significant portion of 1 Corinthians 13 is the revered passage that defines love and indicates how Christians should love others . Verse 1 ( edit ) 1 Corinthians 13 , verse 1 : `` Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels , but have not love , I have become sounding brass or a clanging cymbal . '' Bob Dylan paraphrases verse 1 in his song ' Dignity ' : `` I heard the tongues of angels and the tongues of men ... was n't any difference to me . '' Verse 4 - 8 ( edit ) 1 Corinthians 13 , verses 4 - 8 , and 13 : `` Love is patient , love is kind . It does not envy , it does not boast , it is not proud . It is not rude , it is not self - seeking , it is not easily angered , it keeps no record of wrongs . Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth . It always protects , always trusts , always hopes , always perseveres . Love never fails . But where there are prophecies , they will cease ; where there are tongues , they will be stilled ; where there is knowledge , it will pass away ... And now these three remain : Faith , Hope , and Love . But the greatest of these is Love . '' ( New International Version ) The passage is frequently read during wedding ceremonies . The passage is also used in the song `` Pag - ibig '' by Yeng Constantino . Verse 11 ( edit ) `` When I was a child , I spoke as a child , I understood as a child , I thought as a child : but when I became a man , I put away childish things . '' ( KJV ) . The verse was used in the 1995 anime , Ghost in the Shell , at time 1 : 16 : 55 . The verse is quoted by Matthew Lillard in the 1995 film Hackers , at time 01 : 03 : 03 U.S. President Barack Obama referenced verse 11 in his inaugural address to the nation on January 20 , 2009 . The verse is quoted by Dakin Matthews in the 1991 film , Child 's Play 3 Verse 13 ( edit ) Verse 13 , in praise of the Theological virtues : νυνὶ δὲ μένει πίστις , ἐλπὶς , ἀγάπη , τὰ τρία ταῦτα , μείζων δὲ τούτων ἡ ἀγάπη . `` And now faith , hope , and love abide , these three ; and the greatest of these is love . '' ( NRSV ) US president Franklin D. Roosevelt took the oath at his inauguration in 1933 , with his hand on his family Bible , open to 1 Corinthians 13 . Verse 13 is paraphrased in country singer Alan Jackson 's 2001 hit `` Where Were You ( When the World Stopped Turning ) '' . British Prime Minister Tony Blair read 1 Corinthians 13 at the Funeral of Diana , Princess of Wales in 1997 . Abridged verses ( edit ) 1 Corinthians 13 , verses 2 , 3 , 4 , 11 and 13 : are introspectively digested aloud by ex-slave - trader mercenary , transitioned to Jesuit missionary , Rodrigo Mendoza ( played by Robert DeNiro ) in the Robert Bolt penned 1986 cinematographic Oscar winner `` The Mission '' , directed by Roland Joffé , at time 48 : 02 . Adaptations ( edit ) Soundtrack of the film Three Colors : Blue composed by Zbigniew Preisner features a solo soprano singing the epistle in Greek ( in a piece titled `` Song for the Unification of Europe '' ) . The paragraphs 1 - 3 and 12 - 13 of the text are cited for the fourth song of the Vier ernste Gesänge by Johannes Brahms . The Renaissance composer Orlando di Lasso set verses 11 - 13 in his sacred motet `` Cum essem parvulus . '' A paraphrase of the text is the basis for the song `` Love Is the Law '' composed and sung by Australian musician Paul Kelly . Symphony No. 6 `` Liturgical '' for baritone , choir and orchestra by Andrei Yakovlevich Eshpai ( 1989 ) . Joni Mitchell uses much of the text in 20th - century vernacular , including `` through a glass darkly '' in her song `` Love '' from her 1982 album Wild Things Run Fast , and fully - and dramatically - orchestrated on her 2002 retrospective Travelogue . The Rolling Stones paraphrase the verse in the title of their 1969 compilation album Through the Past , Darkly ( Big Hits Vol. 2 ) . Macklemore uses the verse `` Love is patient . Love is kind '' in his 2012 song , `` Same Love '' . Video game developer Arkane Studios paraphrased the title of Lewis Carroll 's book by linking it with the verse , as the title for a chapter in their game `` Prey '' : `` Through the Looking Glass Darkly '' . The text is drawn on / paraphrased in Lauryn Hill 's song ' Tell Him ' hidden on ' The Miseducation Of ... '' Car Seat Headrest uses verses 8 - 12 at the end of the song `` Famous Prophets ( Stars ) '' on the album Twin Fantasy ( Face to Face ) .

Evolutionary processes give rise to biodiversity at every level of biological organisation , including the levels of species , individual organisms , and molecules . Repeated formation of new species ( speciation ) , change within species ( anagenesis ) , and loss of species ( extinction ) throughout the evolutionary history of life on Earth are demonstrated by shared sets of morphological and biochemical traits , including shared DNA sequences . These shared traits are more similar among species that share a more recent common ancestor , and can be used to reconstruct a biological `` tree of life '' based on evolutionary relationships ( phylogenetics ) , using both existing species and fossils . The fossil record includes a progression from early biogenic graphite , to microbial mat fossils , to fossilised multicellular organisms . Existing patterns of biodiversity have been shaped both by speciation and by extinction . In the mid-19th century , Charles Darwin formulated the scientific theory of evolution by natural selection , published in his book On the Origin of Species ( 1859 ) . Evolution by natural selection is a process first demonstrated by the observation that often , more offspring are produced than can possibly survive . This is followed by three observable facts about living organisms : 1 ) traits vary among individuals with respect to morphology , physiology , and behaviour ( phenotypic variation ) , 2 ) different traits confer different rates of survival and reproduction ( differential fitness ) , and 3 ) traits can be passed from generation to generation ( heritability of fitness ) . Thus , in successive generations members of a population are replaced by progeny of parents better adapted to survive and reproduce in the biophysical environment in which natural selection takes place . This teleonomy is the quality whereby the process of natural selection creates and preserves traits that are seemingly fitted for the functional roles they perform . The processes by which the changes occur , from one generation to another , are called evolutionary processes or mechanisms . The four most widely recognised evolutionary processes are natural selection ( including sexual selection ) , genetic drift , mutation and gene migration due to genetic admixture . Natural selection and genetic drift sort variation ; mutation and gene migration create variation . Consequences of selection can include meiotic drive ( unequal transmission of certain alleles ) , nonrandom mating and genetic hitchhiking . In the early 20th century the modern evolutionary synthesis integrated classical genetics with Darwin 's theory of evolution by natural selection through the discipline of population genetics . The importance of natural selection as a cause of evolution was accepted into other branches of biology . Moreover , previously held notions about evolution , such as orthogenesis , evolutionism , and other beliefs about innate `` progress '' within the largest - scale trends in evolution , became obsolete . Scientists continue to study various aspects of evolutionary biology by forming and testing hypotheses , constructing mathematical models of theoretical biology and biological theories , using observational data , and performing experiments in both the field and the laboratory . All life on Earth shares a common ancestor known as the last universal common ancestor ( LUCA ) , which lived approximately 3.5 -- 3.8 billion years ago . A December 2017 report stated that 3.45 billion - year - old Australian rocks once contained microorganisms , the earliest direct evidence of life on Earth . Nonetheless , this should not be assumed to be the first living organism on Earth ; a study in 2015 found `` remains of biotic life '' from 4.1 billion years ago in ancient rocks in Western Australia . In July 2016 , scientists reported identifying a set of 355 genes from the LUCA of all organisms living on Earth . More than 99 percent of all species that ever lived on Earth are estimated to be extinct . Estimates of Earth 's current species range from 10 to 14 million , of which about 1.9 million are estimated to have been named and 1.6 million documented in a central database to date . More recently , in May 2016 , scientists reported that 1 trillion species are estimated to be on Earth currently with only one - thousandth of one percent described . In terms of practical application , an understanding of evolution has been instrumental to developments in numerous scientific and industrial fields , including agriculture , human and veterinary medicine , and the life sciences in general . Discoveries in evolutionary biology have made a significant impact not just in the traditional branches of biology but also in other academic disciplines , including biological anthropology , and evolutionary psychology . Evolutionary computation , a sub-field of artificial intelligence , involves the application of Darwinian principles to problems in computer science .

Main article : History of evolutionary thought Further information : History of speciation Classical Times The proposal that one type of organism could descend from another type goes back to some of the first pre-Socratic Greek philosophers , such as Anaximander and Empedocles . Such proposals survived into Roman times . The poet and philosopher Lucretius followed Empedocles in his masterwork De rerum natura ( On the Nature of Things ) . Medieval In contrast to these materialistic views , Aristotelianism considered all natural things as actualisations of fixed natural possibilities , known as forms . This was part of a medieval teleological understanding of nature in which all things have an intended role to play in a divine cosmic order . Variations of this idea became the standard understanding of the Middle Ages and were integrated into Christian learning , but Aristotle did not demand that real types of organisms always correspond one - for - one with exact metaphysical forms and specifically gave examples of how new types of living things could come to be . Pre-darwinian In the 17th century , the new method of modern science rejected the Aristotelian approach . It sought explanations of natural phenomena in terms of physical laws that were the same for all visible things and that did not require the existence of any fixed natural categories or divine cosmic order . However , this new approach was slow to take root in the biological sciences , the last bastion of the concept of fixed natural types . John Ray applied one of the previously more general terms for fixed natural types , `` species , '' to plant and animal types , but he strictly identified each type of living thing as a species and proposed that each species could be defined by the features that perpetuated themselves generation after generation . The biological classification introduced by Carl Linnaeus in 1735 explicitly recognised the hierarchical nature of species relationships , but still viewed species as fixed according to a divine plan . Other naturalists of this time speculated on the evolutionary change of species over time according to natural laws . In 1751 , Pierre Louis Maupertuis wrote of natural modifications occurring during reproduction and accumulating over many generations to produce new species . Georges - Louis Leclerc , Comte de Buffon suggested that species could degenerate into different organisms , and Erasmus Darwin proposed that all warm - blooded animals could have descended from a single microorganism ( or `` filament '' ) . The first full - fledged evolutionary scheme was Jean - Baptiste Lamarck 's `` transmutation '' theory of 1809 , which envisaged spontaneous generation continually producing simple forms of life that developed greater complexity in parallel lineages with an inherent progressive tendency , and postulated that on a local level these lineages adapted to the environment by inheriting changes caused by their use or disuse in parents . ( The latter process was later called Lamarckism . ) These ideas were condemned by established naturalists as speculation lacking empirical support . In particular , Georges Cuvier insisted that species were unrelated and fixed , their similarities reflecting divine design for functional needs . In the meantime , Ray 's ideas of benevolent design had been developed by William Paley into the Natural Theology or Evidences of the Existence and Attributes of the Deity ( 1802 ) , which proposed complex adaptations as evidence of divine design and which was admired by Charles Darwin . Darwinian revolution The crucial break from the concept of constant typological classes or types in biology came with the theory of evolution through natural selection , which was formulated by Charles Darwin in terms of variable populations . Partly influenced by An Essay on the Principle of Population ( 1798 ) by Thomas Robert Malthus , Darwin noted that population growth would lead to a `` struggle for existence '' in which favorable variations prevailed as others perished . In each generation , many offspring fail to survive to an age of reproduction because of limited resources . This could explain the diversity of plants and animals from a common ancestry through the working of natural laws in the same way for all types of organism . Darwin developed his theory of `` natural selection '' from 1838 onwards and was writing up his `` big book '' on the subject when Alfred Russel Wallace sent him a version of virtually the same theory in 1858 . Their separate papers were presented together at an 1858 meeting of the Linnean Society of London . At the end of 1859 , Darwin 's publication of his `` abstract '' as On the Origin of Species explained natural selection in detail and in a way that led to an increasingly wide acceptance of Darwin 's concepts of evolution at the expense of alternative theories . Thomas Henry Huxley applied Darwin 's ideas to humans , using paleontology and comparative anatomy to provide strong evidence that humans and apes shared a common ancestry . Some were disturbed by this since it implied that humans did not have a special place in the universe . Pangenesis and Heredity The mechanisms of reproductive heritability and the origin of new traits remained a mystery . Towards this end , Darwin developed his provisional theory of pangenesis . In 1865 , Gregor Mendel reported that traits were inherited in a predictable manner through the independent assortment and segregation of elements ( later known as genes ) . Mendel 's laws of inheritance eventually supplanted most of Darwin 's pangenesis theory . August Weismann made the important distinction between germ cells that give rise to gametes ( such as sperm and egg cells ) and the somatic cells of the body , demonstrating that heredity passes through the germ line only . Hugo de Vries connected Darwin 's pangenesis theory to Weismann 's germ / soma cell distinction and proposed that Darwin 's pangenes were concentrated in the cell nucleus and when expressed they could move into the cytoplasm to change the cells structure . De Vries was also one of the researchers who made Mendel 's work well - known , believing that Mendelian traits corresponded to the transfer of heritable variations along the germline . To explain how new variants originate , de Vries developed a mutation theory that led to a temporary rift between those who accepted Darwinian evolution and biometricians who allied with de Vries . In the 1930s , pioneers in the field of population genetics , such as Ronald Fisher , Sewall Wright and J.B.S. Haldane set the foundations of evolution onto a robust statistical philosophy . The false contradiction between Darwin 's theory , genetic mutations , and Mendelian inheritance was thus reconciled . The ' modern synthesis ' Main article : Modern synthesis ( 20th century ) In the 1920s and 1930s the so - called modern synthesis connected natural selection and population genetics , based on Mendelian inheritance , into a unified theory that applied generally to any branch of biology . The modern synthesis explained patterns observed across species in populations , through fossil transitions in palaeontology , and complex cellular mechanisms in developmental biology . The publication of the structure of DNA by James Watson and Francis Crick in 1953 demonstrated a physical mechanism for inheritance . Molecular biology improved our understanding of the relationship between genotype and phenotype . Advancements were also made in phylogenetic systematics , mapping the transition of traits into a comparative and testable framework through the publication and use of evolutionary trees . In 1973 , evolutionary biologist Theodosius Dobzhansky penned that `` nothing in biology makes sense except in the light of evolution , '' because it has brought to light the relations of what first seemed disjointed facts in natural history into a coherent explanatory body of knowledge that describes and predicts many observable facts about life on this planet . Further syntheses Since then , the modern synthesis has been further extended to explain biological phenomena across the full and integrative scale of the biological hierarchy , from genes to species . One extension , known as evolutionary developmental biology and informally called `` evo - devo , '' emphasises how changes between generations ( evolution ) acts on patterns of change within individual organisms ( development ) . Since the beginning of the 21st century and in light of discoveries made in recent decades , some biologists have argued for an extended evolutionary synthesis , which would account for the effects of non-genetic inheritance modes , such as epigenetics , parental effects , ecological and cultural inheritance , and evolvability . Heredity Further information : Introduction to genetics , Genetics , Heredity , and Reaction norm DNA structure . Bases are in the centre , surrounded by phosphate -- sugar chains in a double helix . Evolution in organisms occurs through changes in heritable traits -- the inherited characteristics of an organism . In humans , for example , eye colour is an inherited characteristic and an individual might inherit the `` brown - eye trait '' from one of their parents . Inherited traits are controlled by genes and the complete set of genes within an organism 's genome ( genetic material ) is called its genotype . The complete set of observable traits that make up the structure and behaviour of an organism is called its phenotype . These traits come from the interaction of its genotype with the environment . As a result , many aspects of an organism 's phenotype are not inherited . For example , suntanned skin comes from the interaction between a person 's genotype and sunlight ; thus , suntans are not passed on to people 's children . However , some people tan more easily than others , due to differences in genotypic variation ; a striking example are people with the inherited trait of albinism , who do not tan at all and are very sensitive to sunburn . Heritable traits are passed from one generation to the next via DNA , a molecule that encodes genetic information . DNA is a long biopolymer composed of four types of bases . The sequence of bases along a particular DNA molecule specify the genetic information , in a manner similar to a sequence of letters spelling out a sentence . Before a cell divides , the DNA is copied , so that each of the resulting two cells will inherit the DNA sequence . Portions of a DNA molecule that specify a single functional unit are called genes ; different genes have different sequences of bases . Within cells , the long strands of DNA form condensed structures called chromosomes . The specific location of a DNA sequence within a chromosome is known as a locus . If the DNA sequence at a locus varies between individuals , the different forms of this sequence are called alleles . DNA sequences can change through mutations , producing new alleles . If a mutation occurs within a gene , the new allele may affect the trait that the gene controls , altering the phenotype of the organism . However , while this simple correspondence between an allele and a trait works in some cases , most traits are more complex and are controlled by quantitative trait loci ( multiple interacting genes ) . Recent findings have confirmed important examples of heritable changes that can not be explained by changes to the sequence of nucleotides in the DNA . These phenomena are classed as epigenetic inheritance systems . DNA methylation marking chromatin , self - sustaining metabolic loops , gene silencing by RNA interference and the three - dimensional conformation of proteins ( such as prions ) are areas where epigenetic inheritance systems have been discovered at the organismic level . Developmental biologists suggest that complex interactions in genetic networks and communication among cells can lead to heritable variations that may underlay some of the mechanics in developmental plasticity and canalisation . Heritability may also occur at even larger scales . For example , ecological inheritance through the process of niche construction is defined by the regular and repeated activities of organisms in their environment . This generates a legacy of effects that modify and feed back into the selection regime of subsequent generations . Descendants inherit genes plus environmental characteristics generated by the ecological actions of ancestors . Other examples of heritability in evolution that are not under the direct control of genes include the inheritance of cultural traits and symbiogenesis . Variation White peppered moth Black morph in peppered moth evolution Main article : Genetic variation Further information : Genetic diversity and Population genetics An individual organism 's phenotype results from both its genotype and the influence from the environment it has lived in . A substantial part of the phenotypic variation in a population is caused by genotypic variation . The modern evolutionary synthesis defines evolution as the change over time in this genetic variation . The frequency of one particular allele will become more or less prevalent relative to other forms of that gene . Variation disappears when a new allele reaches the point of fixation -- when it either disappears from the population or replaces the ancestral allele entirely . Natural selection will only cause evolution if there is enough genetic variation in a population . Before the discovery of Mendelian genetics , one common hypothesis was blending inheritance . But with blending inheritance , genetic variance would be rapidly lost , making evolution by natural selection implausible . The Hardy -- Weinberg principle provides the solution to how variation is maintained in a population with Mendelian inheritance . The frequencies of alleles ( variations in a gene ) will remain constant in the absence of selection , mutation , migration and genetic drift . Variation comes from mutations in the genome , reshuffling of genes through sexual reproduction and migration between populations ( gene flow ) . Despite the constant introduction of new variation through mutation and gene flow , most of the genome of a species is identical in all individuals of that species . However , even relatively small differences in genotype can lead to dramatic differences in phenotype : for example , chimpanzees and humans differ in only about 5 % of their genomes . Mutation Main article : Mutation Duplication of part of a chromosome Mutations are changes in the DNA sequence of a cell 's genome . When mutations occur , they may alter the product of a gene , or prevent the gene from functioning , or have no effect . Based on studies in the fly Drosophila melanogaster , it has been suggested that if a mutation changes a protein produced by a gene , this will probably be harmful , with about 70 % of these mutations having damaging effects , and the remainder being either neutral or weakly beneficial . Mutations can involve large sections of a chromosome becoming duplicated ( usually by genetic recombination ) , which can introduce extra copies of a gene into a genome . Extra copies of genes are a major source of the raw material needed for new genes to evolve . This is important because most new genes evolve within gene families from pre-existing genes that share common ancestors . For example , the human eye uses four genes to make structures that sense light : three for colour vision and one for night vision ; all four are descended from a single ancestral gene . New genes can be generated from an ancestral gene when a duplicate copy mutates and acquires a new function . This process is easier once a gene has been duplicated because it increases the redundancy of the system ; one gene in the pair can acquire a new function while the other copy continues to perform its original function . Other types of mutations can even generate entirely new genes from previously noncoding DNA . The generation of new genes can also involve small parts of several genes being duplicated , with these fragments then recombining to form new combinations with new functions . When new genes are assembled from shuffling pre-existing parts , domains act as modules with simple independent functions , which can be mixed together to produce new combinations with new and complex functions . For example , polyketide synthases are large enzymes that make antibiotics ; they contain up to one hundred independent domains that each catalyse one step in the overall process , like a step in an assembly line . Sex and recombination Further information : Sexual reproduction , Genetic recombination , and Evolution of sexual reproduction In asexual organisms , genes are inherited together , or linked , as they can not mix with genes of other organisms during reproduction . In contrast , the offspring of sexual organisms contain random mixtures of their parents ' chromosomes that are produced through independent assortment . In a related process called homologous recombination , sexual organisms exchange DNA between two matching chromosomes . Recombination and reassortment do not alter allele frequencies , but instead change which alleles are associated with each other , producing offspring with new combinations of alleles . Sex usually increases genetic variation and may increase the rate of evolution . This diagram illustrates the twofold cost of sex . If each individual were to contribute to the same number of offspring ( two ) , ( a ) the sexual population remains the same size each generation , where the ( b ) Asexual reproduction population doubles in size each generation . The two-fold cost of sex was first described by John Maynard Smith . The first cost is that in sexually dimorphic species only one of the two sexes can bear young . ( This cost does not apply to hermaphroditic species , like most plants and many invertebrates . ) The second cost is that any individual who reproduces sexually can only pass on 50 % of its genes to any individual offspring , with even less passed on as each new generation passes . Yet sexual reproduction is the more common means of reproduction among eukaryotes and multicellular organisms . The Red Queen hypothesis has been used to explain the significance of sexual reproduction as a means to enable continual evolution and adaptation in response to coevolution with other species in an ever - changing environment . Gene flow Further information : Gene flow Gene flow is the exchange of genes between populations and between species . It can therefore be a source of variation that is new to a population or to a species . Gene flow can be caused by the movement of individuals between separate populations of organisms , as might be caused by the movement of mice between inland and coastal populations , or the movement of pollen between heavy metal tolerant and heavy metal sensitive populations of grasses . Gene transfer between species includes the formation of hybrid organisms and horizontal gene transfer . Horizontal gene transfer is the transfer of genetic material from one organism to another organism that is not its offspring ; this is most common among bacteria . In medicine , this contributes to the spread of antibiotic resistance , as when one bacteria acquires resistance genes it can rapidly transfer them to other species . Horizontal transfer of genes from bacteria to eukaryotes such as the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae and the adzuki bean weevil Callosobruchus chinensis has occurred . An example of larger - scale transfers are the eukaryotic bdelloid rotifers , which have received a range of genes from bacteria , fungi and plants . Viruses can also carry DNA between organisms , allowing transfer of genes even across biological domains . Large - scale gene transfer has also occurred between the ancestors of eukaryotic cells and bacteria , during the acquisition of chloroplasts and mitochondria . It is possible that eukaryotes themselves originated from horizontal gene transfers between bacteria and archaea . Mechanisms Mutation followed by natural selection results in a population with darker colouration . From a Neo-Darwinian perspective , evolution occurs when there are changes in the frequencies of alleles within a population of interbreeding organisms . For example , the allele for black colour in a population of moths becoming more common . Mechanisms that can lead to changes in allele frequencies include natural selection , genetic drift , genetic hitchhiking , mutation and gene flow . Natural selection Main article : Natural selection Evolution by means of natural selection is the process by which traits that enhance survival and reproduction become more common in successive generations of a population . It has often been called a `` self - evident '' mechanism because it necessarily follows from three simple facts : Variation exists within populations of organisms with respect to morphology , physiology , and behaviour ( phenotypic variation ) . Different traits confer different rates of survival and reproduction ( differential fitness ) . These traits can be passed from generation to generation ( heritability of fitness ) . More offspring are produced than can possibly survive , and these conditions produce competition between organisms for survival and reproduction . Consequently , organisms with traits that give them an advantage over their competitors are more likely to pass on their traits to the next generation than those with traits that do not confer an advantage . The central concept of natural selection is the evolutionary fitness of an organism . Fitness is measured by an organism 's ability to survive and reproduce , which determines the size of its genetic contribution to the next generation . However , fitness is not the same as the total number of offspring : instead fitness is indicated by the proportion of subsequent generations that carry an organism 's genes . For example , if an organism could survive well and reproduce rapidly , but its offspring were all too small and weak to survive , this organism would make little genetic contribution to future generations and would thus have low fitness . If an allele increases fitness more than the other alleles of that gene , then with each generation this allele will become more common within the population . These traits are said to be `` selected for . '' Examples of traits that can increase fitness are enhanced survival and increased fecundity . Conversely , the lower fitness caused by having a less beneficial or deleterious allele results in this allele becoming rarer -- they are `` selected against . '' Importantly , the fitness of an allele is not a fixed characteristic ; if the environment changes , previously neutral or harmful traits may become beneficial and previously beneficial traits become harmful . However , even if the direction of selection does reverse in this way , traits that were lost in the past may not re-evolve in an identical form ( see Dollo 's law ) . However , a re-activation of dormant genes , as long as they have not been eliminated from the genome and were only suppressed perhaps for hundreds of generations , can lead to the re-occurrence of traits thought to be lost like hindlegs in dolphins , teeth in chickens , wings in wingless stick insects , tails and additional nipples in humans etc . `` Throwbacks '' such as these are known as atavisms . These charts depict the different types of genetic selection . On each graph , the x-axis variable is the type of phenotypic trait and the y - axis variable is the number of organisms . Group A is the original population and Group B is the population after selection . Graph 1 shows directional selection , in which a single extreme phenotype is favored . Graph 2 depicts stabilizing selection , where the intermediate phenotype is favored over the extreme traits . Graph 3 shows disruptive selection , in which the extreme phenotypes are favored over the intermediate . Natural selection within a population for a trait that can vary across a range of values , such as height , can be categorised into three different types . The first is directional selection , which is a shift in the average value of a trait over time -- for example , organisms slowly getting taller . Secondly , disruptive selection is selection for extreme trait values and often results in two different values becoming most common , with selection against the average value . This would be when either short or tall organisms had an advantage , but not those of medium height . Finally , in stabilising selection there is selection against extreme trait values on both ends , which causes a decrease in variance around the average value and less diversity . This would , for example , cause organisms to eventually have a similar height . A special case of natural selection is sexual selection , which is selection for any trait that increases mating success by increasing the attractiveness of an organism to potential mates . Traits that evolved through sexual selection are particularly prominent among males of several animal species . Although sexually favoured , traits such as cumbersome antlers , mating calls , large body size and bright colours often attract predation , which compromises the survival of individual males . This survival disadvantage is balanced by higher reproductive success in males that show these hard - to - fake , sexually selected traits . Natural selection most generally makes nature the measure against which individuals and individual traits , are more or less likely to survive . `` Nature '' in this sense refers to an ecosystem , that is , a system in which organisms interact with every other element , physical as well as biological , in their local environment . Eugene Odum , a founder of ecology , defined an ecosystem as : `` Any unit that includes all of the organisms ... in a given area interacting with the physical environment so that a flow of energy leads to clearly defined trophic structure , biotic diversity and material cycles ( ie : exchange of materials between living and nonliving parts ) within the system . '' Each population within an ecosystem occupies a distinct niche , or position , with distinct relationships to other parts of the system . These relationships involve the life history of the organism , its position in the food chain and its geographic range . This broad understanding of nature enables scientists to delineate specific forces which , together , comprise natural selection . Natural selection can act at different levels of organisation , such as genes , cells , individual organisms , groups of organisms and species . Selection can act at multiple levels simultaneously . An example of selection occurring below the level of the individual organism are genes called transposons , which can replicate and spread throughout a genome . Selection at a level above the individual , such as group selection , may allow the evolution of cooperation , as discussed below . Biased mutation In addition to being a major source of variation , mutation may also function as a mechanism of evolution when there are different probabilities at the molecular level for different mutations to occur , a process known as mutation bias . If two genotypes , for example one with the nucleotide G and another with the nucleotide A in the same position , have the same fitness , but mutation from G to A happens more often than mutation from A to G , then genotypes with A will tend to evolve . Different insertion vs. deletion mutation biases in different taxa can lead to the evolution of different genome sizes . Developmental or mutational biases have also been observed in morphological evolution . For example , according to the phenotype - first theory of evolution , mutations can eventually cause the genetic assimilation of traits that were previously induced by the environment . Mutation bias effects are superimposed on other processes . If selection would favor either one out of two mutations , but there is no extra advantage to having both , then the mutation that occurs the most frequently is the one that is most likely to become fixed in a population . Mutations leading to the loss of function of a gene are much more common than mutations that produce a new , fully functional gene . Most loss of function mutations are selected against . But when selection is weak , mutation bias towards loss of function can affect evolution . For example , pigments are no longer useful when animals live in the darkness of caves , and tend to be lost . This kind of loss of function can occur because of mutation bias , and / or because the function had a cost , and once the benefit of the function disappeared , natural selection leads to the loss . Loss of sporulation ability in Bacillus subtilis during laboratory evolution appears to have been caused by mutation bias , rather than natural selection against the cost of maintaining sporulation ability . When there is no selection for loss of function , the speed at which loss evolves depends more on the mutation rate than it does on the effective population size , indicating that it is driven more by mutation bias than by genetic drift . In parasitic organisms , mutation bias leads to selection pressures as seen in Ehrlichia . Mutations are biased towards antigenic variants in outer - membrane proteins . Genetic drift Further information : Genetic drift and Effective population size Simulation of genetic drift of 20 unlinked alleles in populations of 10 ( top ) and 100 ( bottom ) . Drift to fixation is more rapid in the smaller population . Genetic drift is the change in allele frequency from one generation to the next that occurs because alleles are subject to sampling error . As a result , when selective forces are absent or relatively weak , allele frequencies tend to `` drift '' upward or downward randomly ( in a random walk ) . This drift halts when an allele eventually becomes fixed , either by disappearing from the population , or replacing the other alleles entirely . Genetic drift may therefore eliminate some alleles from a population due to chance alone . Even in the absence of selective forces , genetic drift can cause two separate populations that began with the same genetic structure to drift apart into two divergent populations with different sets of alleles . It is usually difficult to measure the relative importance of selection and neutral processes , including drift . The comparative importance of adaptive and non-adaptive forces in driving evolutionary change is an area of current research . The neutral theory of molecular evolution proposed that most evolutionary changes are the result of the fixation of neutral mutations by genetic drift . Hence , in this model , most genetic changes in a population are the result of constant mutation pressure and genetic drift . This form of the neutral theory is now largely abandoned , since it does not seem to fit the genetic variation seen in nature . However , a more recent and better - supported version of this model is the nearly neutral theory , where a mutation that would be effectively neutral in a small population is not necessarily neutral in a large population . Other alternative theories propose that genetic drift is dwarfed by other stochastic forces in evolution , such as genetic hitchhiking , also known as genetic draft . The time for a neutral allele to become fixed by genetic drift depends on population size , with fixation occurring more rapidly in smaller populations . The number of individuals in a population is not critical , but instead a measure known as the effective population size . The effective population is usually smaller than the total population since it takes into account factors such as the level of inbreeding and the stage of the lifecycle in which the population is the smallest . The effective population size may not be the same for every gene in the same population . Genetic hitchhiking Further information : Genetic hitchhiking , Hill -- Robertson effect , and Selective sweep Recombination allows alleles on the same strand of DNA to become separated . However , the rate of recombination is low ( approximately two events per chromosome per generation ) . As a result , genes close together on a chromosome may not always be shuffled away from each other and genes that are close together tend to be inherited together , a phenomenon known as linkage . This tendency is measured by finding how often two alleles occur together on a single chromosome compared to expectations , which is called their linkage disequilibrium . A set of alleles that is usually inherited in a group is called a haplotype . This can be important when one allele in a particular haplotype is strongly beneficial : natural selection can drive a selective sweep that will also cause the other alleles in the haplotype to become more common in the population ; this effect is called genetic hitchhiking or genetic draft . Genetic draft caused by the fact that some neutral genes are genetically linked to others that are under selection can be partially captured by an appropriate effective population size . Gene flow Further information : Gene flow , Hybrid ( biology ) , and Horizontal gene transfer Gene flow involves the exchange of genes between populations and between species . The presence or absence of gene flow fundamentally changes the course of evolution . Due to the complexity of organisms , any two completely isolated populations will eventually evolve genetic incompatibilities through neutral processes , as in the Bateson - Dobzhansky - Muller model , even if both populations remain essentially identical in terms of their adaptation to the environment . If genetic differentiation between populations develops , gene flow between populations can introduce traits or alleles which are disadvantageous in the local population and this may lead to organisms within these populations evolving mechanisms that prevent mating with genetically distant populations , eventually resulting in the appearance of new species . Thus , exchange of genetic information between individuals is fundamentally important for the development of the biological species concept . During the development of the modern synthesis , Sewall Wright developed his shifting balance theory , which regarded gene flow between partially isolated populations as an important aspect of adaptive evolution . However , recently there has been substantial criticism of the importance of the shifting balance theory . Outcomes Play media A visual demonstration of rapid antibiotic resistance evolution by E. coli growing across a plate with increasing concentrations of trimethoprim . Evolution influences every aspect of the form and behaviour of organisms . Most prominent are the specific behavioural and physical adaptations that are the outcome of natural selection . These adaptations increase fitness by aiding activities such as finding food , avoiding predators or attracting mates . Organisms can also respond to selection by cooperating with each other , usually by aiding their relatives or engaging in mutually beneficial symbiosis . In the longer term , evolution produces new species through splitting ancestral populations of organisms into new groups that can not or will not interbreed . These outcomes of evolution are distinguished based on time scale as macroevolution versus microevolution . Macroevolution refers to evolution that occurs at or above the level of species , in particular speciation and extinction ; whereas microevolution refers to smaller evolutionary changes within a species or population , in particular shifts in gene frequency and adaptation . In general , macroevolution is regarded as the outcome of long periods of microevolution . Thus , the distinction between micro - and macroevolution is not a fundamental one -- the difference is simply the time involved . However , in macroevolution , the traits of the entire species may be important . For instance , a large amount of variation among individuals allows a species to rapidly adapt to new habitats , lessening the chance of it going extinct , while a wide geographic range increases the chance of speciation , by making it more likely that part of the population will become isolated . In this sense , microevolution and macroevolution might involve selection at different levels -- with microevolution acting on genes and organisms , versus macroevolutionary processes such as species selection acting on entire species and affecting their rates of speciation and extinction . A common misconception is that evolution has goals , long - term plans , or an innate tendency for `` progress '' , as expressed in beliefs such as orthogenesis and evolutionism ; realistically however , evolution has no long - term goal and does not necessarily produce greater complexity . Although complex species have evolved , they occur as a side effect of the overall number of organisms increasing and simple forms of life still remain more common in the biosphere . For example , the overwhelming majority of species are microscopic prokaryotes , which form about half the world 's biomass despite their small size , and constitute the vast majority of Earth 's biodiversity . Simple organisms have therefore been the dominant form of life on Earth throughout its history and continue to be the main form of life up to the present day , with complex life only appearing more diverse because it is more noticeable . Indeed , the evolution of microorganisms is particularly important to modern evolutionary research , since their rapid reproduction allows the study of experimental evolution and the observation of evolution and adaptation in real time . Adaptation Further information : Adaptation Homologous bones in the limbs of tetrapods . The bones of these animals have the same basic structure , but have been adapted for specific uses . Adaptation is the process that makes organisms better suited to their habitat . Also , the term adaptation may refer to a trait that is important for an organism 's survival . For example , the adaptation of horses ' teeth to the grinding of grass . By using the term adaptation for the evolutionary process and adaptive trait for the product ( the bodily part or function ) , the two senses of the word may be distinguished . Adaptations are produced by natural selection . The following definitions are due to Theodosius Dobzhansky : Adaptation is the evolutionary process whereby an organism becomes better able to live in its habitat or habitats . Adaptedness is the state of being adapted : the degree to which an organism is able to live and reproduce in a given set of habitats . An adaptive trait is an aspect of the developmental pattern of the organism which enables or enhances the probability of that organism surviving and reproducing . Adaptation may cause either the gain of a new feature , or the loss of an ancestral feature . An example that shows both types of change is bacterial adaptation to antibiotic selection , with genetic changes causing antibiotic resistance by both modifying the target of the drug , or increasing the activity of transporters that pump the drug out of the cell . Other striking examples are the bacteria Escherichia coli evolving the ability to use citric acid as a nutrient in a long - term laboratory experiment , Flavobacterium evolving a novel enzyme that allows these bacteria to grow on the by - products of nylon manufacturing , and the soil bacterium Sphingobium evolving an entirely new metabolic pathway that degrades the synthetic pesticide pentachlorophenol . An interesting but still controversial idea is that some adaptations might increase the ability of organisms to generate genetic diversity and adapt by natural selection ( increasing organisms ' evolvability ) . A baleen whale skeleton , a and b label flipper bones , which were adapted from front leg bones : while c indicates vestigial leg bones , suggesting an adaptation from land to sea . Adaptation occurs through the gradual modification of existing structures . Consequently , structures with similar internal organisation may have different functions in related organisms . This is the result of a single ancestral structure being adapted to function in different ways . The bones within bat wings , for example , are very similar to those in mice feet and primate hands , due to the descent of all these structures from a common mammalian ancestor . However , since all living organisms are related to some extent , even organs that appear to have little or no structural similarity , such as arthropod , squid and vertebrate eyes , or the limbs and wings of arthropods and vertebrates , can depend on a common set of homologous genes that control their assembly and function ; this is called deep homology . During evolution , some structures may lose their original function and become vestigial structures . Such structures may have little or no function in a current species , yet have a clear function in ancestral species , or other closely related species . Examples include pseudogenes , the non-functional remains of eyes in blind cave - dwelling fish , wings in flightless birds , the presence of hip bones in whales and snakes , and sexual traits in organisms that reproduce via asexual reproduction . Examples of vestigial structures in humans include wisdom teeth , the coccyx , the vermiform appendix , and other behavioural vestiges such as goose bumps and primitive reflexes . However , many traits that appear to be simple adaptations are in fact exaptations : structures originally adapted for one function , but which coincidentally became somewhat useful for some other function in the process . One example is the African lizard Holaspis guentheri , which developed an extremely flat head for hiding in crevices , as can be seen by looking at its near relatives . However , in this species , the head has become so flattened that it assists in gliding from tree to tree -- an exaptation . Within cells , molecular machines such as the bacterial flagella and protein sorting machinery evolved by the recruitment of several pre-existing proteins that previously had different functions . Another example is the recruitment of enzymes from glycolysis and xenobiotic metabolism to serve as structural proteins called crystallins within the lenses of organisms ' eyes . An area of current investigation in evolutionary developmental biology is the developmental basis of adaptations and exaptations . This research addresses the origin and evolution of embryonic development and how modifications of development and developmental processes produce novel features . These studies have shown that evolution can alter development to produce new structures , such as embryonic bone structures that develop into the jaw in other animals instead forming part of the middle ear in mammals . It is also possible for structures that have been lost in evolution to reappear due to changes in developmental genes , such as a mutation in chickens causing embryos to grow teeth similar to those of crocodiles . It is now becoming clear that most alterations in the form of organisms are due to changes in a small set of conserved genes . Coevolution Common garter snake ( Thamnophis sirtalis sirtalis ) has evolved resistance to the defensive substance tetrodotoxin in its amphibian prey . Further information : Coevolution Interactions between organisms can produce both conflict and cooperation . When the interaction is between pairs of species , such as a pathogen and a host , or a predator and its prey , these species can develop matched sets of adaptations . Here , the evolution of one species causes adaptations in a second species . These changes in the second species then , in turn , cause new adaptations in the first species . This cycle of selection and response is called coevolution . An example is the production of tetrodotoxin in the rough - skinned newt and the evolution of tetrodotoxin resistance in its predator , the common garter snake . In this predator - prey pair , an evolutionary arms race has produced high levels of toxin in the newt and correspondingly high levels of toxin resistance in the snake . Cooperation Further information : Co-operation ( evolution ) Not all co-evolved interactions between species involve conflict . Many cases of mutually beneficial interactions have evolved . For instance , an extreme cooperation exists between plants and the mycorrhizal fungi that grow on their roots and aid the plant in absorbing nutrients from the soil . This is a reciprocal relationship as the plants provide the fungi with sugars from photosynthesis . Here , the fungi actually grow inside plant cells , allowing them to exchange nutrients with their hosts , while sending signals that suppress the plant immune system . Coalitions between organisms of the same species have also evolved . An extreme case is the eusociality found in social insects , such as bees , termites and ants , where sterile insects feed and guard the small number of organisms in a colony that are able to reproduce . On an even smaller scale , the somatic cells that make up the body of an animal limit their reproduction so they can maintain a stable organism , which then supports a small number of the animal 's germ cells to produce offspring . Here , somatic cells respond to specific signals that instruct them whether to grow , remain as they are , or die . If cells ignore these signals and multiply inappropriately , their uncontrolled growth causes cancer . Such cooperation within species may have evolved through the process of kin selection , which is where one organism acts to help raise a relative 's offspring . This activity is selected for because if the helping individual contains alleles which promote the helping activity , it is likely that its kin will also contain these alleles and thus those alleles will be passed on . Other processes that may promote cooperation include group selection , where cooperation provides benefits to a group of organisms . Speciation Main article : Speciation The four geographic modes of speciation Speciation is the process where a species diverges into two or more descendant species . There are multiple ways to define the concept of `` species . '' The choice of definition is dependent on the particularities of the species concerned . For example , some species concepts apply more readily toward sexually reproducing organisms while others lend themselves better toward asexual organisms . Despite the diversity of various species concepts , these various concepts can be placed into one of three broad philosophical approaches : interbreeding , ecological and phylogenetic . The Biological Species Concept ( BSC ) is a classic example of the interbreeding approach . Defined by Ernst Mayr in 1942 , the BSC states that `` species are groups of actually or potentially interbreeding natural populations , which are reproductively isolated from other such groups . '' Despite its wide and long - term use , the BSC like others is not without controversy , for example because these concepts can not be applied to prokaryotes , and this is called the species problem . Some researchers have attempted a unifying monistic definition of species , while others adopt a pluralistic approach and suggest that there may be different ways to logically interpret the definition of a species . Barriers to reproduction between two diverging sexual populations are required for the populations to become new species . Gene flow may slow this process by spreading the new genetic variants also to the other populations . Depending on how far two species have diverged since their most recent common ancestor , it may still be possible for them to produce offspring , as with horses and donkeys mating to produce mules . Such hybrids are generally infertile . In this case , closely related species may regularly interbreed , but hybrids will be selected against and the species will remain distinct . However , viable hybrids are occasionally formed and these new species can either have properties intermediate between their parent species , or possess a totally new phenotype . The importance of hybridisation in producing new species of animals is unclear , although cases have been seen in many types of animals , with the gray tree frog being a particularly well - studied example . Speciation has been observed multiple times under both controlled laboratory conditions ( see laboratory experiments of speciation ) and in nature . In sexually reproducing organisms , speciation results from reproductive isolation followed by genealogical divergence . There are four primary geographic modes of speciation . The most common in animals is allopatric speciation , which occurs in populations initially isolated geographically , such as by habitat fragmentation or migration . Selection under these conditions can produce very rapid changes in the appearance and behaviour of organisms . As selection and drift act independently on populations isolated from the rest of their species , separation may eventually produce organisms that can not interbreed . The second mode of speciation is peripatric speciation , which occurs when small populations of organisms become isolated in a new environment . This differs from allopatric speciation in that the isolated populations are numerically much smaller than the parental population . Here , the founder effect causes rapid speciation after an increase in inbreeding increases selection on homozygotes , leading to rapid genetic change . The third mode is parapatric speciation . This is similar to peripatric speciation in that a small population enters a new habitat , but differs in that there is no physical separation between these two populations . Instead , speciation results from the evolution of mechanisms that reduce gene flow between the two populations . Generally this occurs when there has been a drastic change in the environment within the parental species ' habitat . One example is the grass Anthoxanthum odoratum , which can undergo parapatric speciation in response to localised metal pollution from mines . Here , plants evolve that have resistance to high levels of metals in the soil . Selection against interbreeding with the metal - sensitive parental population produced a gradual change in the flowering time of the metal - resistant plants , which eventually produced complete reproductive isolation . Selection against hybrids between the two populations may cause reinforcement , which is the evolution of traits that promote mating within a species , as well as character displacement , which is when two species become more distinct in appearance . Geographical isolation of finches on the Galápagos Islands produced over a dozen new species . Finally , in sympatric speciation species diverge without geographic isolation or changes in habitat . This form is rare since even a small amount of gene flow may remove genetic differences between parts of a population . Generally , sympatric speciation in animals requires the evolution of both genetic differences and non-random mating , to allow reproductive isolation to evolve . One type of sympatric speciation involves crossbreeding of two related species to produce a new hybrid species . This is not common in animals as animal hybrids are usually sterile . This is because during meiosis the homologous chromosomes from each parent are from different species and can not successfully pair . However , it is more common in plants because plants often double their number of chromosomes , to form polyploids . This allows the chromosomes from each parental species to form matching pairs during meiosis , since each parent 's chromosomes are represented by a pair already . An example of such a speciation event is when the plant species Arabidopsis thaliana and Arabidopsis arenosa crossbred to give the new species Arabidopsis suecica . This happened about 20,000 years ago , and the speciation process has been repeated in the laboratory , which allows the study of the genetic mechanisms involved in this process . Indeed , chromosome doubling within a species may be a common cause of reproductive isolation , as half the doubled chromosomes will be unmatched when breeding with undoubled organisms . Speciation events are important in the theory of punctuated equilibrium , which accounts for the pattern in the fossil record of short `` bursts '' of evolution interspersed with relatively long periods of stasis , where species remain relatively unchanged . In this theory , speciation and rapid evolution are linked , with natural selection and genetic drift acting most strongly on organisms undergoing speciation in novel habitats or small populations . As a result , the periods of stasis in the fossil record correspond to the parental population and the organisms undergoing speciation and rapid evolution are found in small populations or geographically restricted habitats and therefore rarely being preserved as fossils . Extinction Further information : Extinction Tyrannosaurus rex . Non-avian dinosaurs died out in the Cretaceous -- Paleogene extinction event at the end of the Cretaceous period . Extinction is the disappearance of an entire species . Extinction is not an unusual event , as species regularly appear through speciation and disappear through extinction . Nearly all animal and plant species that have lived on Earth are now extinct , and extinction appears to be the ultimate fate of all species . These extinctions have happened continuously throughout the history of life , although the rate of extinction spikes in occasional mass extinction events . The Cretaceous -- Paleogene extinction event , during which the non-avian dinosaurs became extinct , is the most well - known , but the earlier Permian -- Triassic extinction event was even more severe , with approximately 96 % of all marine species driven to extinction . The Holocene extinction event is an ongoing mass extinction associated with humanity 's expansion across the globe over the past few thousand years . Present - day extinction rates are 100 -- 1000 times greater than the background rate and up to 30 % of current species may be extinct by the mid 21st century . Human activities are now the primary cause of the ongoing extinction event ; global warming may further accelerate it in the future . The role of extinction in evolution is not very well understood and may depend on which type of extinction is considered . The causes of the continuous `` low - level '' extinction events , which form the majority of extinctions , may be the result of competition between species for limited resources ( the competitive exclusion principle ) . If one species can out - compete another , this could produce species selection , with the fitter species surviving and the other species being driven to extinction . The intermittent mass extinctions are also important , but instead of acting as a selective force , they drastically reduce diversity in a nonspecific manner and promote bursts of rapid evolution and speciation in survivors .

The earliest undisputed evidence of life on Earth dates from at least 3.5 billion years ago , during the Eoarchean Era after a geological crust started to solidify following the earlier molten Hadean Eon . Microbial mat fossils have been found in 3.48 billion - year - old sandstone in Western Australia . Other early physical evidence of a biogenic substance is graphite in 3.7 billion - year - old metasedimentary rocks discovered in Western Greenland as well as `` remains of biotic life '' found in 4.1 billion - year - old rocks in Western Australia . According to one of the researchers , `` If life arose relatively quickly on Earth ... then it could be common in the universe . '' More than 99 percent of all species , amounting to over five billion species , that ever lived on Earth are estimated to be extinct . Estimates on the number of Earth 's current species range from 10 million to 14 million , of which about 1.9 million are estimated to have been named and 1.6 million documented in a central database to date , leaving at least 80 percent not yet described . Highly energetic chemistry is thought to have produced a self - replicating molecule around 4 billion years ago , and half a billion years later the last common ancestor of all life existed . The current scientific consensus is that the complex biochemistry that makes up life came from simpler chemical reactions . The beginning of life may have included self - replicating molecules such as RNA and the assembly of simple cells . Common descent Further information : Common descent and Evidence of common descent All organisms on Earth are descended from a common ancestor or ancestral gene pool . Current species are a stage in the process of evolution , with their diversity the product of a long series of speciation and extinction events . The common descent of organisms was first deduced from four simple facts about organisms : First , they have geographic distributions that can not be explained by local adaptation . Second , the diversity of life is not a set of completely unique organisms , but organisms that share morphological similarities . Third , vestigial traits with no clear purpose resemble functional ancestral traits and finally , that organisms can be classified using these similarities into a hierarchy of nested groups -- similar to a family tree . However , modern research has suggested that , due to horizontal gene transfer , this `` tree of life '' may be more complicated than a simple branching tree since some genes have spread independently between distantly related species . The hominoids are descendants of a common ancestor . Past species have also left records of their evolutionary history . Fossils , along with the comparative anatomy of present - day organisms , constitute the morphological , or anatomical , record . By comparing the anatomies of both modern and extinct species , paleontologists can infer the lineages of those species . However , this approach is most successful for organisms that had hard body parts , such as shells , bones or teeth . Further , as prokaryotes such as bacteria and archaea share a limited set of common morphologies , their fossils do not provide information on their ancestry . More recently , evidence for common descent has come from the study of biochemical similarities between organisms . For example , all living cells use the same basic set of nucleotides and amino acids . The development of molecular genetics has revealed the record of evolution left in organisms ' genomes : dating when species diverged through the molecular clock produced by mutations . For example , these DNA sequence comparisons have revealed that humans and chimpanzees share 98 % of their genomes and analysing the few areas where they differ helps shed light on when the common ancestor of these species existed . Evolution of life Main articles : Evolutionary history of life and Timeline of evolutionary history of life Evolutionary tree showing the divergence of modern species from their common ancestor in the centre . The three domains are coloured , with bacteria blue , archaea green and eukaryotes red . Prokaryotes inhabited the Earth from approximately 3 -- 4 billion years ago . No obvious changes in morphology or cellular organisation occurred in these organisms over the next few billion years . The eukaryotic cells emerged between 1.6 -- 2.7 billion years ago . The next major change in cell structure came when bacteria were engulfed by eukaryotic cells , in a cooperative association called endosymbiosis . The engulfed bacteria and the host cell then underwent coevolution , with the bacteria evolving into either mitochondria or hydrogenosomes . Another engulfment of cyanobacterial - like organisms led to the formation of chloroplasts in algae and plants . The history of life was that of the unicellular eukaryotes , prokaryotes and archaea until about 610 million years ago when multicellular organisms began to appear in the oceans in the Ediacaran period . The evolution of multicellularity occurred in multiple independent events , in organisms as diverse as sponges , brown algae , cyanobacteria , slime moulds and myxobacteria . In January 2016 , scientists reported that , about 800 million years ago , a minor genetic change in a single molecule called GK - PID may have allowed organisms to go from a single cell organism to one of many cells . Soon after the emergence of these first multicellular organisms , a remarkable amount of biological diversity appeared over approximately 10 million years , in an event called the Cambrian explosion . Here , the majority of types of modern animals appeared in the fossil record , as well as unique lineages that subsequently became extinct . Various triggers for the Cambrian explosion have been proposed , including the accumulation of oxygen in the atmosphere from photosynthesis . About 500 million years ago , plants and fungi colonised the land and were soon followed by arthropods and other animals . Insects were particularly successful and even today make up the majority of animal species . Amphibians first appeared around 364 million years ago , followed by early amniotes and birds around 155 million years ago ( both from `` reptile '' - like lineages ) , mammals around 129 million years ago , homininae around 10 million years ago and modern humans around 250,000 years ago . However , despite the evolution of these large animals , smaller organisms similar to the types that evolved early in this process continue to be highly successful and dominate the Earth , with the majority of both biomass and species being prokaryotes . Applications Main articles : Applications of evolution , Selective breeding , and Evolutionary computation Concepts and models used in evolutionary biology , such as natural selection , have many applications . Artificial selection is the intentional selection of traits in a population of organisms . This has been used for thousands of years in the domestication of plants and animals . More recently , such selection has become a vital part of genetic engineering , with selectable markers such as antibiotic resistance genes being used to manipulate DNA . Proteins with valuable properties have evolved by repeated rounds of mutation and selection ( for example modified enzymes and new antibodies ) in a process called directed evolution . Understanding the changes that have occurred during an organism 's evolution can reveal the genes needed to construct parts of the body , genes which may be involved in human genetic disorders . For example , the Mexican tetra is an albino cavefish that lost its eyesight during evolution . Breeding together different populations of this blind fish produced some offspring with functional eyes , since different mutations had occurred in the isolated populations that had evolved in different caves . This helped identify genes required for vision and pigmentation . Many human diseases are not static phenomena , but capable of evolution . Viruses , bacteria , fungi and cancers evolve to be resistant to host immune defences , as well as pharmaceutical drugs . These same problems occur in agriculture with pesticide and herbicide resistance . It is possible that we are facing the end of the effective life of most of available antibiotics and predicting the evolution and evolvability of our pathogens and devising strategies to slow or circumvent it is requiring deeper knowledge of the complex forces driving evolution at the molecular level . In computer science , simulations of evolution using evolutionary algorithms and artificial life started in the 1960s and were extended with simulation of artificial selection . Artificial evolution became a widely recognised optimisation method as a result of the work of Ingo Rechenberg in the 1960s . He used evolution strategies to solve complex engineering problems . Genetic algorithms in particular became popular through the writing of John Henry Holland . Practical applications also include automatic evolution of computer programmes . Evolutionary algorithms are now used to solve multi-dimensional problems more efficiently than software produced by human designers and also to optimise the design of systems . Social and cultural responses Further information : Social effects of evolutionary theory , 1860 Oxford evolution debate , Creation -- evolution controversy , and Objections to evolution As evolution became widely accepted in the 1870s , caricatures of Charles Darwin with an ape or monkey body symbolised evolution . In the 19th century , particularly after the publication of On the Origin of Species in 1859 , the idea that life had evolved was an active source of academic debate centred on the philosophical , social and religious implications of evolution . Today , the modern evolutionary synthesis is accepted by a vast majority of scientists . However , evolution remains a contentious concept for some theists . While various religions and denominations have reconciled their beliefs with evolution through concepts such as theistic evolution , there are creationists who believe that evolution is contradicted by the creation myths found in their religions and who raise various objections to evolution . As had been demonstrated by responses to the publication of Vestiges of the Natural History of Creation in 1844 , the most controversial aspect of evolutionary biology is the implication of human evolution that humans share common ancestry with apes and that the mental and moral faculties of humanity have the same types of natural causes as other inherited traits in animals . In some countries , notably the United States , these tensions between science and religion have fuelled the current creation -- evolution controversy , a religious conflict focusing on politics and public education . While other scientific fields such as cosmology and Earth science also conflict with literal interpretations of many religious texts , evolutionary biology experiences significantly more opposition from religious literalists . The teaching of evolution in American secondary school biology classes was uncommon in most of the first half of the 20th century . The Scopes Trial decision of 1925 caused the subject to become very rare in American secondary biology textbooks for a generation , but it was gradually re-introduced later and became legally protected with the 1968 Epperson v. Arkansas decision . Since then , the competing religious belief of creationism was legally disallowed in secondary school curricula in various decisions in the 1970s and 1980s , but it returned in pseudoscientific form as intelligent design ( ID ) , to be excluded once again in the 2005 Kitzmiller v. Dover Area School District case .

who is considered the founder of the theroy of evolution
[ "In the mid-19th century, Charles Darwin formulated the scientific theory of evolution by natural selection, published in his book On the Origin of Species (1859). Evolution by natural selection is a process first demonstrated by the observation that often, more offspring are produced than can possibly survive. This is followed by three observable facts about living organisms: 1) traits vary among individuals with respect to morphology, physiology, and behaviour (phenotypic variation), 2) different traits confer different rates of survival and reproduction (differential fitness), and 3) traits can be passed from generation to generation (heritability of fitness).[10] Thus, in successive generations members of a population are replaced by progeny of parents better adapted to survive and reproduce in the biophysical environment in which natural selection takes place." ]

No-hitter
No - hitter - wikipedia No - hitter This is the current revision of this page , as edited by GünniX ( talk contribs ) at 17 : 38 , 25 August 2017 ( unbalanced brackets using AWB ) . The present address ( URL ) is a permanent link to this version . Revision as of 17 : 38 , 25 August 2017 by GünniX ( talk contribs ) ( unbalanced brackets using AWB ) ( diff ) ← Previous revision Latest revision ( diff ) Newer revision → ( diff ) Jump to : navigation , search For the Major League Baseball players who have completed this feat , see List of Major League Baseball no - hitters . Nolan Ryan holds the record for no - hitters in the major leagues with seven . In baseball , a no - hitter ( also known as a no - hit game and colloquially as a no - no ) is a game in which a team was not able to record a single hit . Major League Baseball ( MLB ) officially defines a no - hitter as a completed game in which a team that batted in at least nine innings recorded no hits . A pitcher who prevents the opposing team from achieving a hit is said to have `` thrown a no - hitter '' . This is a rare accomplishment for a pitcher or pitching staff : only 296 have been thrown in Major League Baseball history since 1876 , an average of about two per year . In most cases in MLB , no - hitters are recorded by a single pitcher who throws a complete game ; one thrown by two or more pitchers is a combined no - hitter . The most recent no - hitter by a single pitcher was thrown on June 3 , 2017 by Edinson Vólquez of the Miami Marlins against the Arizona Diamondbacks at Miami 's Marlins Park . The most recent combined no - hitter was thrown by Cole Hamels , Jake Diekman , Ken Giles , and Jonathan Papelbon of the Philadelphia Phillies against the Atlanta Braves on September 1 , 2014 . It is possible to reach base without a hit , most commonly by a walk , error , or being hit by a pitch . ( Other possibilities include the batter reaching first after a dropped third strike . ) A no - hitter in which no batters reach base at all is a perfect game , a much rarer feat . Because batters can reach base by means other than a hit , a pitcher can throw a no - hitter ( though not a perfect game ) and still give up runs , and even lose the game , although this is extremely uncommon and most no - hitters are also shutouts . One or more runs were given up in 25 recorded no - hitters in MLB history , most recently by Ervin Santana of the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim in a 3 -- 1 win against the Cleveland Indians on July 27 , 2011 . On two occasions , a team has thrown a nine - inning no - hitter and still lost the game . On a further four occasions , a team has thrown a no - hitter for eight innings in a losing effort , but those four games are not officially recognized as no - hitters by Major League Baseball because the outing lasted fewer than nine innings . It is theoretically possible for opposing pitchers to throw no - hitters in the same game , although this has never happened in the majors . Two pitchers , Fred Toney and Hippo Vaughn , completed nine innings of a game on May 2 , 1917 without either giving up a hit or a run ; Vaughn gave up two hits and a run in the 10th inning , losing the game to Toney , who completed the extra-inning no - hitter .

'' This definition was specified by MLB 's Committee for Statistical Accuracy in 1991 , causing previously recognized no - hitters of fewer than nine innings or where the first hit had been allowed in extra innings to be stricken from the official record books . Games lost by the visiting team in 81⁄2 innings but without allowing any hits do not qualify as no - hitters , as the visiting team has only pitched eight innings . Frequency ( edit ) Major League Baseball has officially recognized 296 no - hitters thrown since 1876 ; only 23 of those were perfect games . Two no - hitters have been thrown on the same day twice : Ted Breitenstein and Jim Hughes on April 22 , 1898 ; and Dave Stewart and Fernando Valenzuela on June 29 , 1990 . Eight no - hitters were thrown by major league pitchers in the 1884 season . In the modern era ( since 1901 ) , seven no - hitters were thrown in 1990 , 1991 , 2012 , and 2015 . The longest period between any two no - hitters in the modern era is 7003114000000000000 ♠ 3 years , 44 days between Bobby Burke on August 8 , 1931 , and Paul `` Daffy '' Dean on September 21 , 1934 . There was a drought of 3 years , 11 months , without a no - hitter after the first National League no - hitter on July 15 , 1876 , pitched by George Bradley . The most recent year without any no - hitters is 2005 . The greatest span of games without a no - hitter anywhere in the Major Leagues is 6,364 , between Randy Johnson 's perfect game on May 18 , 2004 , for the Arizona Diamondbacks , and Aníbal Sánchez 's no - hitter on September 6 , 2006 , for the Florida Marlins . The previous record was a 4,015 - game streak without a no - hitter from September 30 , 1984 , to September 19 , 1986 . Individual ( edit ) Hall of Famer Sandy Koufax threw four no - hitters , including one perfect game , in his major - league career . The pitcher who holds the record for the most no - hitters is Nolan Ryan , who threw seven in his long career . His first two came exactly two months apart , while he was with the California Angels : the first on May 15 , 1973 , and the second on July 15 . He had two more with the Angels on September 28 , 1974 , and June 1 , 1975 . Ryan 's fifth no - hitter with the Houston Astros on September 26 , 1981 , broke Sandy Koufax 's previous record . His sixth and seventh no - hitters came with the Texas Rangers on June 1 , 1990 , and May 1 , 1991 . When he tossed number seven at age 44 , he became the oldest pitcher to throw a no - hitter . Only Ryan , Sandy Koufax ( four ) , Cy Young ( three ) , Bob Feller ( three ) , and Larry Corcoran ( three ) have pitched more than two no - hitters . Corcoran was the first pitcher to throw a second no - hitter in a career ( in 1882 ) , as well as the first to throw a third ( in 1884 ) . Thirty - six pitchers have thrown more than one no - hitter , combined no - hitters not counting . Randy Johnson has the longest gap between no - hitters : he threw a no - hitter as a member of the Seattle Mariners on June 2 , 1990 , and a perfect game as an Arizona Diamondback on May 18 , 2004 . The pitcher who holds the record for the shortest time between no - hitters is Johnny Vander Meer , the only pitcher in history to throw no - hitters in consecutive starts , while playing for the Cincinnati Reds in 1938 . Besides Vander Meer , Allie Reynolds ( in 1951 ) , Virgil Trucks ( in 1952 ) , Ryan ( in 1973 ) , and Max Scherzer ( in 2015 ) are the only other major leaguers to throw two no - hitters in the same regular season . Jim Maloney also had two no - hitters under the previous rules in the 1965 season , both of them taken into extra innings . On the first one on June 14 , he gave up a home run to Johnny Lewis to open the top of the 11th inning , turning 10 innings of no - hit ball into a 1 -- 0 loss to the New York Mets . According to the rules interpretation of the time , this was considered a no - hitter . On August 19 , a home run by Leo Cárdenas in the tenth inning allowed Maloney to earn a 1 -- 0 10 - inning no - hit win over the Chicago Cubs . Roy Halladay threw two no - hitters in 2010 -- a perfect game during the regular season and a no - hitter in the 2010 National League Division Series . He is the only major leaguer to have thrown no - hitters in regular season and postseason play . Two pitchers missing their non-pitching hand have thrown no - hitters ; Hugh Daily , of the Cleveland Blues , defeated the Philadelphia Quakers 1 -- 0 on September 13 , 1883 , and Jim Abbott , of the New York Yankees , defeated the Cleveland Indians 4 -- 0 on September 4 , 1993 . Daily lost his left hand in a gun accident as a child , and Abbott was born without a right hand . Edinson Vólquez of the Miami Marlins is the most recent pitcher to throw a no - hitter , the thirty - fifth player to do so , on June 3 , 2017 . The record for most no - hitters caught by a catcher is four , a record shared by Boston Red Sox catcher Jason Varitek and Philadelphia Phillies catcher Carlos Ruiz . Varitek caught no - hitters for Hideo Nomo , Derek Lowe , Clay Buchholz , and Jon Lester . Varitek also caught a rain - shortened , five - inning unofficial no - hitter for Devern Hansack on October 1 , 2006 . Ruiz caught two no - hitters for Roy Halladay , including a perfect game , as well as one for Cole Hamels , and a combined no - hitter for Cole Hamels , Jake Diekman , Ken Giles , and Jonathan Papelbon . Before MLB redefined `` no - hitter '' , Ray Schalk had long held the record of catching four no - hitters , but his first nine - inning no - hitter had ended with a hit in the tenth inning . Five pitchers have thrown a no - hitter in both the American League and the National League : Cy Young , Ryan , Jim Bunning , Nomo , and Randy Johnson . Only five catchers have caught a no - hitter in each league : Gus Triandos , Jeff Torborg , Darrell Porter , Ron Hassey , and most recently , Drew Butera . Triandos caught Hoyt Wilhelm 's 1958 no - hitter and Jim Bunning 's perfect game , Torborg caught Koufax 's perfect game and Ryan 's first no - hitter , Porter caught Jim Colborn 's 1977 no - hitter and Bob Forsch 's second no - hitter in 1983 , and Hassey caught Len Barker 's and Dennis Martínez 's perfect games . Butera caught a 2011 no - hitter by Francisco Liriano and a 2014 no - hitter by Josh Beckett . Team ( edit ) No team has thrown no - hitters in consecutive games , although it has happened once on consecutive days : On May 5 , 1917 , Ernie Koob of the St. Louis Browns no - hit the Chicago White Sox , and teammate Bob Groom repeated the feat in the second game of a doubleheader the following day . On two occasions , there have been back - to - back no - hitters thrown by each team in a series . On September 17 , 1968 , Gaylord Perry of the San Francisco Giants no - hit the St. Louis Cardinals , and the Cardinals ' Ray Washburn no - hit the Giants the following day . On April 30 , 1969 , Jim Maloney of the Cincinnati Reds no - hit the Houston Astros , and the Astros ' Don Wilson no - hit the Reds the following day . Surprisingly , it was both Maloney 's and Wilson 's 2nd no - hitter in their careers . Teams have thrown two straight no - hitters , with no other teams pitching one in the interim , 19 times ; most recently by the Los Angeles Dodgers ( Josh Beckett and Clayton Kershaw in 2014 ) . The only team to throw three straight no - hitters was the Milwaukee Braves , with Lew Burdette , followed by consecutive no - no 's by Warren Spahn , in 1960 and 1961 . Individual pitchers have thrown two straight no - hitters seven times : Addie Joss 1908 and 1910 ; Vander Meer in 1938 ; Allie Reynolds in 1951 ; Warren Spahn in 1960 and 1961 ; Ryan twice , first in 1973 , then in 1974 and 1975 ; and Bailey . All seven instances were with the same team . The Tampa Bay Rays are the only MLB team to fail to get a hit in three games in a span of 12 months or fewer . No - hit by Arizona 's Edwin Jackson on June 25 , 2010 , the Rays were also the victims of two perfect games : the first by White Sox pitcher Mark Buehrle on July 23 , 2009 , the second by Oakland 's Dallas Braden on May 9 , 2010 . On August 15 , 2012 , the Rays were once again on the losing end of a perfect game , this time at the helm of Félix Hernández and the Seattle Mariners . Combined no - hitters ( edit ) The vast majority of no - hit games are finished by the starting pitcher , but eleven MLB no - hitters have been thrown by a combination of the starting and relief pitchers . The first such combined no - hitter occurred on June 23 , 1917 , when Ernie Shore of the Boston Red Sox relieved starter Babe Ruth , who had been ejected for arguing with the umpire after walking the first batter of the game . The runner was subsequently caught stealing and Shore retired the next 26 batters without allowing any baserunners . This game was long considered a perfect game for Shore , since he recorded 27 outs in succession ; current rules classify it only as a combined no - hitter . Another major league combined no - hitter did not occur until April 30 , 1967 , when Stu Miller of the Baltimore Orioles recorded the final out in relief of Steve Barber in a 2 -- 1 loss to the Detroit Tigers . The most recent combined no - hitter occurred on September 1 , 2014 , when the Philadelphia Phillies beat the Atlanta Braves 7 - 0 , as Cole Hamels threw 108 pitches through the first six innings ; then Jake Diekman , Ken Giles , and Jonathan Papelbon successively pitched perfect innings to preserve the no - hitter . The only combined extra inning no - hitter to date occurred on July 12 , 1997 . Pittsburgh Pirates pitchers Francisco Córdova ( 9 innings ) and Ricardo Rincón ( 1 inning ) combined to no - hit the Houston Astros , 3 -- 0 . Victory was secured with a three - run walk - off home run by pinch hitter Mark Smith in the bottom of the tenth inning . On June 11 , 2003 , the Houston Astros set a record with six pitchers involved in a combined no - hitter . On that day , Roy Oswalt , Pete Munro , Kirk Saarloos , Brad Lidge , Octavio Dotel , and Billy Wagner combined to hold the New York Yankees hitless . Oswalt was removed after one inning due to injury . Munro pitched the most innings , 22⁄3 . He also allowed five of the six baserunners , giving up three walks , hitting a batter and seeing another reach on an error by third baseman Geoff Blum . The only other baserunner was allowed by Dotel , who threw a third - strike wild pitch to Alfonso Soriano with one out in the eighth ; Dotel went on to record the forty - fifth four - strikeout inning in regular - season play . Lidge , who retired all six hitters he faced over the sixth and seventh innings , earned the victory . On June 8 , 2012 , the Seattle Mariners tied this record when Kevin Millwood , Charlie Furbush , Stephen Pryor , Lucas Luetge , Brandon League , and Tom Wilhelmsen combined to no - hit the Los Angeles Dodgers . Millwood pitched 6 innings before he was taken out due to a groin injury . Only one pitcher has thrown a no - hitter as a starter and contributed to a combined no - hitter as a reliever . On September 30 , 1984 , Mike Witt threw a 1 -- 0 perfect game for the California Angels against the Texas Rangers . On April 11 , 1990 , pitching the eighth and ninth innings in relief of Mark Langston , Witt earned a save in another 1 -- 0 no - hit victory for the Angels over the Seattle Mariners . Vida Blue , Kent Mercker , Kevin Millwood , and Cole Hamels are the only pitchers to start both a complete game no - hitter and a combined no - hitter . Vida Blue no - hit the Minnesota Twins on September 21 , 1970 , while pitching for the Oakland Athletics . He combined with Glenn Abbott , Paul Lindblad , and Rollie Fingers to no - hit the California Angels on September 28 , 1975 . While with the Atlanta Braves in 1991 , Mercker , Mark Wohlers and Alejandro Peña no - hit the San Diego Padres in the National League 's first combined no - hitter . Mercker threw a complete game no - hitter against the Los Angeles Dodgers on April 8 , 1994 . In addition to the game above in which Millwood and the Seattle Mariners tied the record by using six pitchers in a no - hitter , Millwood previously threw a complete game no - hitter against the San Francisco Giants on April 27 , 2003 , while with the Philadelphia Phillies . Both Mercker and Blue were All - Stars in the seasons of their combined no - hitters , and Blue also won the Cy Young Award and the Most Valuable Player Award during his career . Combined no - hitters are considered unofficial by Nippon Professional Baseball . Earliest , latest , title - clinching , and postseason no - hitters ( edit ) Hideo Nomo threw the earliest no - hitter based on calendar date : April 4 , 2001 , the second game of the season for the Boston Red Sox , against the Baltimore Orioles . The Cleveland Indians ' Bob Feller left the Chicago White Sox hitless in the 1940 season opener on April 16 , the only official Opening Day no - hitter . There have been five no - hitters thrown on the final day of the regular season . Bumpus Jones of the Cincinnati Reds ended the season by no - hitting the Pittsburgh Pirates on October 15 , 1892 ; this is also the latest calendar date for a no - hit game thus far . On September 28 , 1975 , four Oakland A 's pitchers ( Vida Blue , Glenn Abbott , Paul Lindblad , Rollie Fingers ) combined for a season - ending no - hitter against the California Angels . Mike Witt of the California Angels threw a perfect game against the Texas Rangers on September 30 , 1984 . Henderson Álvarez of the Miami Marlins no - hit the Detroit Tigers on September 29 , 2013 , to close the regular season . Jordan Zimmermann of the Washington Nationals no - hit the Miami Marlins on the last day of the 2014 season , September 28 . The latest regular - season no - hitter by calendar date in the modern era is October 3 , achieved by Max Scherzer of the Washington Nationals in 2015 . The Houston Astros ' Mike Scott no - hit the San Francisco Giants on September 25 , 1986 , a victory that also clinched the National League West title for the Astros ; this is the only such occurrence in Major League history to date . In the first game of a doubleheader on September 28 , 1951 , Allie Reynolds of the New York Yankees pitched a no - hitter against the Boston Red Sox which clinched a tie for the American League pennant ( the pennant was clinched outright in the doubleheader 's second game ) . There have been two postseason no - hitters in MLB history , one by a pitcher from each league . For the AL , on October 8 , 1956 , Don Larsen of the New York Yankees threw a perfect game in Game 5 of that year 's World Series against the Brooklyn Dodgers . The feat had nearly been accomplished nine years earlier by the Yankees ' Bill Bevens , who came within one out of a no - hitter ( though not a perfect game ) against the Brooklyn Dodgers in Game 4 of the 1947 World Series , only to lose the game on a pinch - hit double by Cookie Lavagetto . There have been other one - hitters in the World Series , with the lone hit coming earlier in the game than in Bevens ' effort . On October 6 , 2010 , Roy Halladay of the Philadelphia Phillies , in the first postseason appearance of his career , threw the second no - hitter in postseason history , and first in the NL , in Game 1 of the Phillies ' NLDS against the Cincinnati Reds . Rookie no - hitters ( edit ) Twenty - two MLB rookies have pitched a no - hitter since 1901 . Three pitchers have thrown a no - hitter in their first major league starts ; two others have done it in their second major league starts . Bumpus Jones of the Cincinnati Reds threw a no - hitter on October 15 , 1892 in his first major league game . Jones pitched only eight games in the big leagues , finishing with a career win / loss record of 2 -- 4 and a career earned run average of 7.99 . Ted Breitenstein pitched a no - hitter in his first Major League start on October 4 , 1891 , however , it was not his first Major League game . He later threw a second no - hitter on April 22 , 1898 . On May 6 , 1953 , Bobo Holloman pitched a no - hitter for the St. Louis Browns in his first major league start ( also not his first major league game ) . This game would prove to be one of only three major league wins that Holloman achieved , against seven losses , all in 1953 . Bill Veeck , then - owner of the Browns , in his autobiography described the 27 outs of Holloman 's no - hitter as consisting of hard - hit ground balls , screaming line drives , and deep fly balls . At the other end of the spectrum , there are nine 300 - game winners -- Grover Cleveland Alexander , Kid Nichols , Lefty Grove , Early Wynn , Steve Carlton , Don Sutton , Greg Maddux , Roger Clemens and Tom Glavine -- who failed to pitch a no - hitter . On August 11 , 1991 , Wilson Álvarez of the Chicago White Sox pitched a no - hitter in his second career major league start . During Alvarez 's first career start , he had allowed three runs on a pair of home runs and did not retire a single batter . Unlike Jones and Holloman , Alvarez went on to win 102 games over a 16 - year career . Clay Buchholz pitched a no - hitter for the Boston Red Sox in his second major league start on September 1 , 2007 at Fenway Park . The game ended in a 10 -- 0 victory for the Red Sox over the Baltimore Orioles . Chris Heston , pitcher for the San Francisco Giants , threw a no - hitter in a 5 - 0 victory over the New York Mets on June 9 , 2015 . Nine - inning no - hitters in a losing effort ( edit ) Unlike a perfect game , in which no batters reach base , in regular no - hitters batters can reach base in other ways , such as a walk , an error , or a hit batsman , thus it is possible for the team pitching the no - hitter to lose . On April 23 , 1964 , Ken Johnson of the Houston Colt . 45s became the only pitcher to lose a complete game no - hitter in nine innings when he was beaten , 1 -- 0 , by Cincinnati . The winning run was scored by Pete Rose in the top of the ninth inning via an error , groundout , and another error . On April 30 , 1967 , Steve Barber and Stu Miller of the Baltimore Orioles pitched a combined no - hitter , but lost 2 - 1 to the Detroit Tigers . On July 1 , 1990 , Andy Hawkins of the Yankees pitched an eight - inning no - hitter ( the Yankees were the away team ) against the Chicago White Sox and lost the game 4 -- 0 after an eighth inning which saw three errors . The four runs that the White Sox scored are the most by any team in a game in which they had no hits . Because Hawkins only threw eight innings , this game is not recognized as an official no - hitter by Major League Baseball ; however , it was considered a no - hitter at the time it was pitched . Years after the game , the rules regarding no - hitters , ( and rules regarding other statistics ) , were changed and applied retroactively in order to `` clean up the record book '' . The Hawkins `` no - hitter '' failed on at least two provisions of the new standards . To be classified a valid no - hitter , the pitcher must face opposing batters in at least nine innings . Jered Weaver and José Arredondo of the Angels also combined for eight innings of no - hit baseball in a 1 -- 0 road loss to the Dodgers June 28 , 2008 , where Matt Kemp reached on an error , stole second , advanced to third on another error , and scored on a sacrifice fly . However , since the Angels only pitched eight innings , this game is not recognized as an official no - hitter . On August 23 , 2017 , Rich Hill of the Los Angeles Dodgers pitched a nine - inning no - hitter , but his team lost 1 - 0 to the Pittsburgh Pirates . Hill had a perfect game in the ninth inning until a fielding error by Logan Forsythe . Later , Hill would have his no - hitter broken up on a walkoff - homerun by Josh Harrison in the bottom of the 10th inning . Shortened no - hitters ( edit ) A game that can not continue due to weather or darkness may be considered a completed official game , as long as at least five innings have been completed . Until 1991 , any such game in which a pitcher held the opposing team without hits was considered an official no - hitter ; however under the current rule , a no - hitter must last for at least nine innings to count . As the rule was applied retroactively , thirty - six games in which a no - hitter was interrupted by weather or darkness , with lengths ranging from 5 to 8 innings , are no longer considered no - hitters . If the home team leads after the top of the ninth , they do not bat in the bottom of the ninth , thus the visiting team only pitches 8 innings . Since it is possible to score runs without getting hits , a visiting team can complete a full game without allowing a hit but not be credited with an official no - hitter . This has happened four times in MLB history : Silver King ( 1890 ) , Andy Hawkins ( 1990 ) , and Matt Young ( 1992 ) pitched complete games without allowing a hit , but pitched only 8 innings as the losing pitcher from the visiting team , and thus are not credited with a no - hitter . On June 28 , 2008 , Jered Weaver and José Arredondo of the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim threw 8 no - hit innings against the Los Angeles Dodgers at Dodger Stadium , but lost the game , 1 -- 0 , and are not credited with a no - hitter . This is the first near no - hitter of this kind in which more than one pitcher was involved . No - hitters lost in extra innings ( edit ) A game that is a no - hitter through nine innings may be lost in extra innings . Under current rules , such a game is not considered an official no - hitter because the pitcher did not keep the opponent hitless for the entire course of the game . On May 2 , 1917 , a game between the Chicago Cubs and the Cincinnati Reds reached the end of nine innings in a hitless scoreless tie , the only time in baseball history that neither team has had a hit in regulation . Both Hippo Vaughn of the Cubs and Fred Toney of the Reds continued pitching into the tenth inning . Vaughn lost his no - hitter in the top of the tenth , as the Reds got two hits and scored the winning run . Toney retired the side in the bottom of the tenth and recorded a ten - inning no - hitter . This game was long considered a `` double no - hitter '' , but Vaughn is no longer credited with a no - hitter under the current rules . Of the thirteen potential no - hitters that have been lost in extra innings , two were perfect games until the inning when the first hit was surrendered . On May 26 , 1959 , Harvey Haddix of the Pittsburgh Pirates pitched a remarkable twelve perfect innings against the Milwaukee Braves before losing the perfect game on an error and then the no - hitter and the game in the thirteenth inning . On June 3 , 1995 , Pedro Martínez of the Montreal Expos pitched nine perfect innings against the San Diego Padres before giving up a hit in the tenth and exiting the game , which the Expos then won , 1 -- 0 . On August 23 , 2017 , in a game between the Los Angeles Dodgers and the Pittsburgh Pirates , Dodgers pitcher Rich Hill pitched nine no - hit innings , only to lose his no - hit bid ( and the game ) on a walk - off homer by Josh Harrison in the 10th inning . This was another potential perfect game ; the perfect game was broken up by a ninth - inning error , the first time this had happened in MLB history . No - hitter droughts ( edit ) Only one existing franchise in Major League Baseball has not had a pitcher toss a no - hitter : the San Diego Padres , who have gone 46 years without a no - hitter since they entered Major League Baseball in 1969 . Their closest bid came against the Philadelphia Phillies on July 18 , 1972 ; Steve Arlin came within one out of a no - hitter before Denny Doyle broke up the bid with a single . On July 9 , 2011 , five Padres pitchers combined for 8 ⁄ innings of no - hit pitching against the Los Angeles Dodgers before Juan Uribe hit a double , which was followed by a Dioner Navarro single that won the game , which had been scoreless up to that point . Of all the teams that have thrown at least one no - hit game , however , the Cleveland Indians , as of August 2017 , have had the longest drought ; the last such game thrown by the team was by Len Barker on May 15 , 1981 , which was also a perfect game . The New York Mets , who began play in 1962 , went without a no - hitter until Johan Santana pitched one on the night of June 1 , 2012 , against the St. Louis Cardinals at home at Citi Field . The 8 -- 0 victory closed out their era as the oldest franchise without a no - hitter and ended a drought that lasted 8,019 regular - season and 74 post-season games . Mets pitchers have thrown 39 one - hitters . The longest no - hitter drought in Major League history was suffered by the Philadelphia Phillies between May 1 , 1906 , and June 21 , 1964 , a span that encompassed 8,945 games . The Washington Nationals achieved their first no - hitter on September 28 , 2014 . The franchise has four previous no - hitters in its history as the Montreal Expos , including a perfect game by Dennis Martínez . Six current NL teams -- the Braves , Dodgers , Giants , Phillies , Cubs and Reds -- all pitched their first no - hitters before the advent of the American League in 1901 . Among the early National League teams still playing , the last to get their first no - hitter was the St. Louis Cardinals , when Jesse Haines pitched one on July 17 , 1924 . Of the original American League teams , the last team to get their first no - hitter was the New York Yankees , when George Mogridge pitched one on April 24 , 1917 . There are a number of short - lived Major League franchises from the nineteenth century that folded without ever recording a no - hitter .

The record for the longest period of time without being no - hit is held by the Chicago Cubs , who succeeded in getting at least one hit in every game since Sandy Koufax 's perfect game against them on September 9 , 1965 , until they were no - hit by Cole Hamels of the Philadelphia Phillies on July 25 , 2015 , a period of 7004182150000000000 ♠ 49 years , 318 days ( 7951 games -- including 31 Post Season games ) . The second - longest streak without having an official no - hitter pitched against them is held by the New York Yankees , who had a gap of 7004163340000000000 ♠ 44 years , 263 days between nine - inning no - hitters from September 21 , 1958 to June 10 , 2003 . However , during this time , the Yankees team hitting streak ended in a rain - shortened official game on July 12 , 1990 , after 7004116170000000000 ♠ 31 years , 294 days . The St. Louis Cardinals have the second - longest team hitting streak in MLB history : May 12 , 1919 to May 14 , 1960 , a period of 7004149790000000000 ♠ 41 years , 3 days . Among AL teams , the Kansas City Royals have the longest team hitting streak : May 15 , 1973 to May 19 , 2008 , a period of 7004127880000000000 ♠ 35 years , 4 days . The longest current streak is held by the Oakland Athletics at 7003937300000000000 ♠ 25 years , 241 days ( 4103 games , including 44 postseason games ) as of March 11 , 2017 . They were last held hitless on July 13 , 1991 , when four Baltimore Orioles pitchers combined to shut down the A 's offense . No - hitters and ballparks ( edit ) Forbes Field , home of the Pittsburgh Pirates from the middle of the 1909 season until the middle of the 1970 season , is the only long - term major league ballpark where a no - hitter was never thrown during its existence . There are several recently built fields where no - hitters have not yet been thrown . Five parks presently in existence for a decade or more have only seen one no - hitter each : the Orioles ' current home , Oriole Park at Camden Yards , known for being hitter friendly ( Hideo Nomo on April 4 , 2001 ) ; Coors Field , the hitter - friendly home of the Colorado Rockies ( Nomo on September 17 , 1996 ) ; Petco Park , home of the San Diego Padres , which initially was known as a pitcher 's park but was modified with shorter fences in 2013 ( Tim Lincecum on July 13 , 2013 ) ; PNC Park , the current home of the Pirates , which like Forbes Field is known for being hitter - friendly ( Homer Bailey on September 28 , 2012 ) ; and Minute Maid Park , the home of the Houston Astros which is known for the short Crawford Boxes in left and for its deep outfield in center ( Mike Fiers on August 21 , 2015 ) . International competition ( edit ) In the 2006 World Baseball Classic , Shairon Martis pitched a no - hitter for the Netherlands against Panama , however it was only seven innings due to the mercy rule . Superstitions ( edit ) One of the most common baseball superstitions is that it is bad luck to mention a no - hitter in progress , especially to the pitcher and in particular by their teammates ( who sometimes even go so far as to not even be near the pitcher ) . Some sportscasters observe this taboo while others have no reservations about mentioning no - hitters before completion . When Sandy Koufax pitched his no - hitter against the Mets in 1962 , one of their 120 losses that season , Mets ' coach Solly Hemus , apparently trying to jinx Koufax , kept heckling him through the game about pitching a no - hitter , according to a post-game interview Koufax gave after pitching his third no - hitter in 1964 . An early biography of Koufax quoted him as telling his catcher , during that 1964 no - hitter , `` Let 's just go to the fastball and get this no - hit thing over with . '' Mickey Mantle , in an interview for Ken Burns ' 1994 Baseball documentary series , related that Don Larsen , famed for his 1956 World Series perfect game , tried to talk about his no - hitter throughout the contest but much to his chagrin his Yankee teammates avoided his conversation and maintained the superstition . When Los Angeles Angels rookie Bo Belinsky entered the final inning of his no - hitter in 1962 , Baltimore Orioles outfielder Jackie Brandt passed him on the field as the teams changed sides . According to Belinsky biographer Maury Allen , Brandt told Belinsky , `` Nice game , Bo , but it 's over . I 'm leading off with a bunt single . '' Belinsky got Brandt out to start the final inning of his no - hitter . In 2009 , when Mark Buehrle was pitching his perfect game , as he exited the field after the eighth inning , White Sox broadcaster Ken Harrelson exclaimed , `` Call your sons ! Call your daughters ! Call your friends ! Call your neighbors ! Mark Buehrle has a perfect game going into the ninth ! '' Buehrle retired the side in the ninth to complete the perfect game . When Jim Bunning was pitching his perfect game in 1964 , he deliberately violated this superstition , talking to his teammates about the perfect game 's progress in order to dispel the tension in the dugout .

who pitched a no hitter in the world series
[ "The pitcher who holds the record for the most no-hitters is Nolan Ryan, who threw seven in his long career. His first two came exactly two months apart, while he was with the California Angels: the first on May 15, 1973, and the second on July 15. He had two more with the Angels on September 28, 1974, and June 1, 1975. Ryan's fifth no-hitter with the Houston Astros on September 26, 1981, broke Sandy Koufax's previous record. His sixth and seventh no-hitters came with the Texas Rangers on June 1, 1990, and May 1, 1991. When he tossed number seven at age 44, he became the oldest pitcher to throw a no-hitter." ]

Following on the work of Émile Durkheim , strain theories have been advanced by Robert King Merton ( 1938 ) , Albert K. Cohen ( 1955 ) , Richard Cloward , Lloyd Ohlin ( 1960 ) , Neil Smelser ( 1963 ) , Robert Agnew ( 1992 ) , Steven Messner and Richard Rosenfeld ( 1994 ) .

Merton . The theory states that society puts pressure on individuals to achieve socially accepted goals ( such as the American dream ) though they lack the means , this leads to strain which may lead the individuals to commit crimes . Examples being selling drugs or becoming involved in prostitution to gain financial security . Strain may either be : Structural : this refers to the processes at the societal level which filter down and affect how the individual perceives his or her needs , i.e. if particular social structures are inherently inadequate or there is inadequate regulation , this may change the individual 's perceptions as to means and opportunities ; or Individual : this refers to the frictions and pains experienced by an individual as he or she looks for ways to satisfy his or her needs , i.e. if the goals of a society become significant to an individual , actually achieving them may become more important than the means adopted . Merton 's theory ( edit ) Robert King Merton was an American sociologist who argued that society can encourage deviance to a large degree . Merton believed that socially accepted goals put pressure on people to conform . People are forced to work within the system or become members of a deviant subculture to achieve the desired goal . Merton 's belief became the theory known as Strain Theory . Merton continued on to say when individuals are faced with a gap between their goals ( usually finances / money related ) and their current status , strain occurs . When faced with strain , people have five ways to adapt : Conformity : pursuing cultural goals through socially approved means . ( `` Hopeful poor '' ) Innovation : using socially unapproved or unconventional means to obtain culturally approved goals . Example : dealing drugs or stealing to achieve financial security . ( `` surviving poor '' ) Ritualism : using the same socially approved means to achieve less elusive goals ( more modest and humble ) . ( `` passive poor '' ) Retreatism : to reject both the cultural goals and the means to obtain it , then find a way to escape it . ( `` retreating poor '' ) Rebellion : to reject the cultural goals and means , then work to replace them . ( `` resisting poor '' ) Derived theories ( edit ) General strain theory ( edit ) Main article : General strain theory General strain theory ( GST ) is a sociology and criminology theory developed in 1992 by Robert Agnew . Agnew believed that Merton 's theory was too vague in nature and did not account for criminal activity which did not involve financial gain . The core idea of general strain theory is that people who experience strain or stress become distressed or upset which may lead them to commit crime in order to cope . One of the key principle of this theory is emotion as the motivator for crime . The theory was developed to conceptualize the full range of sources in society where strain possibly comes from , which Merton 's strain theory does not . The theory also focuses on the perspective of goals for status , expectations and class rather than focusing on money ( as Merton 's theory does ) . Examples of General Strain Theory are people who use illegal drugs to make themselves feel better , or a student assaulting his peers to end the harassment they caused . GST introduces 3 main sources of strain such as : Loss of positive stimuli ( death of family or friend ) Presentation of negative stimuli ( physical and verbal assaults ) The inability to reach a desired goal . Institutional Anomie theory ( edit ) Institutional anomie theory ( IAT ) is a criminology theory developed in 1994 in by Steven Messner and Richard Rosenfeld . The theory proposes that an institutional arrangement with a market , where the market / economy is allowed to operate / dominate without restraints from other social intuitions like family will likely cause criminal behavior . Derived from Merton 's Strain Theory , IAT expands on the macro levels of the theory . IAT 's focus centers on the criminal influences of varied social institutions , rather than just the economic structure . Illegitimate opportunities theory ( edit ) Main article : Illegitimate opportunity Illegitimate opportunities is a sociology theory developed in 1960 by Richard Cloward and Lloyd Ohlin . The theory states that crimes result from a high number of illegitimate opportunities and not from a lack of legitimate ones . The theory was created from Merton 's strain theory to help address juvenile delinquency . Other strain theorists ( edit ) Robert Agnew ( edit ) In 1992 , Robert Agnew asserted that strain theory could be central in explaining crime and deviance , but that it needed revision so that it was not tied to social class or cultural variables , but re-focused on norms . To this end , Agnew proposed a general strain theory that is neither structural nor interpersonal but rather individual and emotional , paying special attention to an individual 's immediate social environment . He argued that an individual 's actual or anticipated failure to achieve positively valued goals , actual or anticipated removal of positively valued stimuli , and actual or anticipated presentation of negative stimuli all result in strain . Anger and frustration confirm negative relationships . The resulting behavior patterns will often be characterized by more than their share of unilateral action because an individual will have a natural desire to avoid unpleasant rejections , and these unilateral actions ( especially when antisocial ) will further contribute to an individual 's alienation from society . If particular rejections are generalized into feelings that the environment is unsupportive , more strongly negative emotions may motivate the individual to engage in crime . This is most likely to be true for younger individuals , and Agnew suggested that research focus on the magnitude , recency , duration , and clustering of such strain - related events to determine whether a person copes with strain in a criminal or conforming manner . Temperament , intelligence , interpersonal skills , self - efficacy , the presence of conventional social support , and the absence of association with antisocial ( e.g. , criminally inclined ) age and status peers are chief among the factors Agnew identified as beneficial . Jie Zhang ( edit ) The strain theory of suicide postulates that suicide is usually preceded by psychological strains . A psychological strain is formed by at least two stresses or pressures , pushing the individual to different directions . A strain can be a consequence of any of the four conflicts : differential values , discrepancy between aspiration and reality , relative deprivation , and lack of coping skills for a crisis . Psychological strains in the form of all the four sources have been tested and supported with a sample of suicide notes in the United States and in rural China through psychological autopsy studies . The strain theory of suicide forms a challenge to the psychiatric model popular among the suicidologists in the world . The strain theory of suicide is based on the theoretical frameworks established by previous sociologists , e.g. Durkheim ( 1951 ) , Merton ( 1957 ) , and Agnew ( 2006 ) , and preliminary tests have been accomplished with some American ( Zhang and Lester 2008 ) and Chinese data ( Zhang 2010 ; Zhang , Dong , Delprino , and Zhou 2009 ; Zhang , Wieczorek , Conwell , and Tu 2011 ) . There could be four types of strain that precede a suicide , and each can be derived from specific sources . A source of strain must consist of two , and at least two , conflicting social facts . If the two social facts are non-contradictory , there would be no strain . Strain Source 1 : Differential Values When two conflicting social values or beliefs are competing in an individual 's daily life , the person experiences value strain . The two conflicting social facts are competing personal beliefs internalized in the person 's value system . A cult member may experience strain if the mainstream culture and the cult religion are both considered important in the cult member 's daily life . Other examples include the second generation of immigrants in the United States who have to abide by the ethnic culture rules enforced in the family while simultaneously adapting to the American culture with peers and school . In China , rural young women appreciate gender egalitarianism advocated by the communist government , but at the same time , they are trapped in cultural sexual discrimination as traditionally cultivated by Confucianism . Another example that might be found in developing countries is the differential values of traditional collectivism and modern individualism . When the two conflicting values are taken as equally important in a person 's daily life , the person experiences great strain . When one value is more important than the other , there is then little or no strain . Criticism ( edit ) Strain theory has received several criticisms , such as : Strain theory best applies only to the lower class as they struggle with limited resources to obtain their goals . Strain theory fails to explain white collar crime , the perpetrator of whom have many opportunities to achieve through legal and legitimate means . Strain theory fails to explain crimes based in gender inequality . Merton deals with individuals forms of responses instead of group activity which crime involves . Merton 's theory is not very critical of the social structure that he says generate the strains . Strain theory neglects the inter - and intra-personal aspect of crime . Strain theory has weak empirical evidence supporting it . Studies ( edit ) Strain theory was tested following its development . Most of these test examined ideal goals such as occupational goals and individual expectations , which would most ideally lead to crimes if not achieved under rule of strain theory . However , most of the research found that this was not the case . An example of these studies was a study done by Travis Hirschi in the 1969 . He analyzes a large body of data on delinquency collected in Western Contra Costa County , California that contrast with strain theory . These results and other criticisms lead to the abandonment of strain theory around the 1970s to the 80s .

who is the theorist who developed general strain theory
[ "In sociology and criminology, strain theory states that social structures within society may pressure citizens to commit crime. Following on the work of Émile Durkheim, strain theories have been advanced by Robert King Merton (1938), Albert K. Cohen (1955), Richard Cloward, Lloyd Ohlin (1960), Neil Smelser (1963), Robert Agnew (1992), Steven Messner and Richard Rosenfeld (1994)." ]

It is a spin - off prequel of Gilligan 's prior series Breaking Bad . Set in the early 2000s , Better Call Saul follows the story of small - time lawyer James Morgan `` Jimmy '' McGill ( Bob Odenkirk ) , six years before his appearance on Breaking Bad as Saul Goodman ; events after the original series are briefly explored as well . The first season , which premiered on AMC on February 8 , 2015 , consists of 10 episodes . The show 's 10 - episode second season premiered on February 15 , 2016 . The series was renewed for a 10 - episode third season , which premiered April 10 , 2017 . On June 27 , 2017 , the series was renewed by AMC for a 10 - episode fourth season that is planned to premiere in 2018 . Like its predecessor , Better Call Saul has received critical acclaim , particularly for its acting , writing , and directing with many critics calling it a worthy successor to Breaking Bad . It has garnered several nominations , including 23 Primetime Emmy Awards , seven Writers Guild of America Awards , five Critics ' Choice Television Awards , a Screen Actors Guild Award and two Golden Globe Awards . The series premiere held the record for the highest - rated scripted series premiere in basic cable history at the time of its airing .

In a July 2012 interview , Gilligan said he liked `` the idea of a lawyer show in which the main lawyer will do anything it takes to stay out of a court of law '' , including settling on the courthouse steps . In April 2013 , the series was confirmed to be in development by Gilligan and Gould ; the latter wrote the Breaking Bad episode that introduced the character . Casting ( edit ) Bob Odenkirk stars as lawyer Jimmy McGill ( known as Saul Goodman in Breaking Bad ) . In January 2014 , it was announced that Jonathan Banks would reprise his Breaking Bad role as Mike Ehrmantraut and be a series regular . Aaron Paul announced having had `` serious talks '' with Gilligan for possible guest appearances , but later told The Huffington Post it was not going to happen . Dean Norris , another Breaking Bad alumnus , announced that he would not be appearing , partly due to his involvement in the CBS series Under the Dome . Anna Gunn also mentioned a `` talk '' with Gilligan over possible guest appearances . Michael McKean was cast as McGill 's elder brother Chuck , having previously guest - starred in an episode of Odenkirk 's Mr. Show and Gilligan 's X-Files episode `` Dreamland '' . The cast also includes Patrick Fabian as Howard Hamlin , Rhea Seehorn as Kimberly `` Kim '' Wexler , and Michael Mando as Ignacio `` Nacho '' Varga . In October 2014 , Kerry Condon was cast as Stacey Ehrmantraut , Mike 's daughter - in - law . In November 2014 , it was announced that Julie Ann Emery and Jeremy Shamos had been cast as Betsy and Craig Kettleman , described as `` the world 's squarest outlaws . '' Development history ( edit ) By July 2013 , the series had yet to be green - lighted . Netflix was one of many interested distributors , but ultimately a deal was made between AMC and Breaking Bad production company Sony Pictures Television . Gilligan and Gould serve as co-showrunners and Gilligan directed the pilot . Former Breaking Bad writers Thomas Schnauz and Gennifer Hutchison joined the writing staff , with Schnauz serving as co-executive producer and Hutchison as supervising producer . Also on the writing staff are Bradley Paul , and Gordon Smith , who was a writer 's assistant on Breaking Bad . In developing the series , the producers considered making the show a half - hour comedy , but ultimately chose an hour - long format more typical of a drama . In October 2014 , Odenkirk called the show `` 85 percent drama , 15 percent comedy . '' During his appearance on Talking Bad , Odenkirk noted that Saul was one of the most popular characters on the show , speculating that the audience likes the character because he is the program 's least hypocritical figure , and is good at his job . Better Call Saul also employs Breaking Bad 's signature time jumps . As filming began on June 2 , 2014 , Gilligan expressed some concern regarding the possible disappointment from the series ' turnout , in terms of audience reception . On June 19 , 2014 , AMC announced it had renewed the series for a second season of 13 episodes to premiere in early 2016 ; however , it was later reduced to 10 episodes . The first teaser trailer debuted on AMC on August 10 , 2014 , and confirmed its premiere date of February 2015 . In November 2014 , AMC announced the series would have a two - night premiere ; the first episode aired on Sunday , February 8 , 2015 , at 10 : 00 pm ( ET ) , and then moved into its regular time slot the following night , airing Mondays at 10 : 00 pm . In May 2015 , Gilligan confirmed that more of the prominent characters from Breaking Bad would be making guest appearances in season 2 , but remained vague on which characters were likely to be seen . In March 2016 , AMC announced that Better Call Saul was renewed for a 10 - episode third season . In June 2017 , AMC renewed the series for a 10 - episode fourth season to air in 2018 . Like its predecessor , Better Call Saul is set and filmed in Albuquerque , New Mexico .

List of United States presidential assassination attempts and plots
List of United States presidential assassination Attempts and plots - wikipedia List of United States presidential assassination Attempts and plots Jump to : navigation , search Assassination attempts and plots on the President of the United States have been numerous , ranging from the early 1800s to the 2010s . More than 30 attempts to kill an incumbent or former president , or a president - elect have been made since the early 1800s . Four sitting presidents have been killed , all of them by gunshot : Abraham Lincoln ( 1865 ) , James A. Garfield ( 1881 ) , William McKinley ( 1901 ) and John F. Kennedy ( 1963 ) . Additionally , two presidents have been injured in attempted assassinations , also by gunshot : Theodore Roosevelt ( 1912 ; former president at the time ) and Ronald Reagan ( 1981 ) . Although the historian James W. Clarke has suggested that most American assassinations were politically motivated actions , carried out by rational men , not all such attacks have been undertaken for political reasons . Some attackers had questionable mental stability , and a few were judged legally insane . Since the Vice President of the United States has for more than a century been elected from the same political party as the President , the assassination of the President is unlikely to result in major policy changes . This may explain why political groups typically do not make such attacks . Contents ( hide ) 1 Presidents assassinated 1.1 Abraham Lincoln 1.2 James A. Garfield 1.3 William McKinley 1.4 John F.

John Wilkes Booth was a well - known actor and a Confederate sympathizer from Maryland ; though he never joined the Confederate army , he had contacts with the Confederate secret service . In 1864 , Booth formulated a plan ( very similar to one of Thomas N. Conrad previously authorized by the Confederacy ) to kidnap Lincoln in exchange for the release of Confederate prisoners . After attending an April 11 , 1865 , speech in which Lincoln promoted voting rights for blacks , an incensed Booth changed his plans and became determined to assassinate the president . Learning that the President would be attending Ford 's Theatre , Booth formulated a plan with co-conspirators to assassinate Lincoln at the theater , as well as Vice President Andrew Johnson and Secretary of State William H. Seward at their homes . Lincoln attended the play Our American Cousin at Ford 's Theatre . As the President sat in his state box in the balcony , watching the play , with his wife , Mary Todd Lincoln , and two guests , Major Henry Rathbone and his fiancée Clara Harris , Booth entered from behind , aimed a . 44 caliber Derringer pistol at the back of Lincoln 's head , and fired , mortally wounding the President . Rathbone momentarily grappled with Booth , but Booth stabbed him and escaped . The unconscious President was carried across the street from the theater to the Petersen House , where he remained in a coma for nine hours before dying the following morning at 7 : 22 a.m. on April 15 . Beyond Lincoln 's death the plot failed : Seward was only wounded and Johnson 's would - be attacker lost his nerve . After being on the run for 12 days , Booth was tracked down and found on April 26 , 1865 by Union soldiers on a farm in Virginia , some 70 miles ( 110 km ) south of Washington . After refusing to surrender to Union troops , Booth was shot and killed by Sergeant Boston Corbett . Several other conspirators were later hanged . James a Garfield ( edit ) President Garfield with James G. Blaine after being shot by Charles J. Guiteau Main article : Assassination of James A. Garfield The assassination of President Garfield took place in Washington , D.C. , at 9 : 30 a.m. on Saturday , July 2 , 1881 , less than four months after he took office . Charles J. Guiteau shot him twice , once in his right arm and once in his back , with a . 442 Webley British Bulldog revolver , as the president was arriving at the Baltimore and Potomac Railroad Station . Garfield died 11 weeks later , on September 19 , 1881 , at 10 : 35 p.m. , of complications caused by infections . Guiteau was immediately arrested . After a highly publicized trial lasting from November 14 , 1881 to January 25 , 1882 , he was found guilty and sentenced to death . A subsequent appeal was rejected , and he was executed by hanging on June 30 , 1882 in the District of Columbia , two days before the first anniversary of the attempt . Guiteau was assessed during his trial as mentally unbalanced and possibly suffered from some kind of bipolar disorder or from the effects of syphilis on the brain . He claimed to have shot Garfield out of disappointment for being passed over for appointment as Ambassador to France . He attributed the president 's victory in the election to a speech he wrote in support of Garfield . William McKinley ( edit ) Leon Czolgosz shoots President McKinley with a concealed revolver . Clipping of a wash drawing by T. Dart Walker . Main article : Assassination of William McKinley The assassination of President McKinley took place at 4 : 07 p.m. on Friday , September 6 , 1901 , at the Temple of Music in Buffalo , New York . McKinley , attending the Pan-American Exposition , was shot twice in the abdomen at close range by Leon Czolgosz , a self - proclaimed anarchist , who was armed with a . 32 caliber revolver wrapped up in what seemed to be a bandage . The first bullet ricocheted off either a button or an award medal on McKinley 's jacket and lodged in his sleeve but the second shot pierced his stomach . McKinley died seven days later , on September 14 , 1901 , at 2 : 15 a.m , after his condition rapidly declined . Members of the crowd captured and subdued Czolgosz . Afterward , the 4th Brigade , National Guard Signal Corps , and police intervened , beating Czolgosz so severely it was initially thought he might not live to stand trial . On September 24 , after a rushed , two - day trial in state court , Czolgosz was sentenced to death . He was executed by electric chair in Auburn Prison on October 29 , 1901 . Czolgosz 's actions were politically motivated , although it remains unclear what outcome , if any , he believed the shooting would yield . Following the assassination of President William McKinley , Congress directed the Secret Service to protect the President of the United States as part of its mandate . John F. Kennedy ( edit ) JFK , Jackie , and the Connallys in the presidential limousine minutes before the assassination Main article : Assassination of John F. Kennedy The assassination of President Kennedy took place on Friday , November 22 , 1963 , in Dallas , Texas , at 12 : 30 p.m. CST ( 18 : 30 UTC ) , while riding in a presidential motorcade in Dealey Plaza . Kennedy was riding with his wife Jacqueline , Texas Governor John Connally , Connally 's wife , Nellie , and two Secret Service agents , when he was fatally shot in the neck and head . He was the only assassinated president to die on the same day of his injuries . Governor Connally was seriously wounded in the attack . The motorcade rushed to Parkland Memorial Hospital where President Kennedy was pronounced dead about thirty minutes after the shooting ; Connally recovered from his injuries . Former U.S. Marine and Marxist Lee Harvey Oswald was arrested by members of the Dallas Police Department about 70 minutes after the initial shooting . Oswald was charged under Texas state law with the murder of Kennedy as well as that of a Dallas policeman , J.D. Tippit , who had been fatally shot a short time after the assassination . At 11 : 21 a.m. Sunday , November 24 , 1963 , as live television cameras covered his transfer to the Dallas County Jail , Oswald was shot in the basement of Dallas Police Headquarters by Jack Ruby , a Dallas nightclub operator . Oswald was taken to Parkland Memorial Hospital where he soon died . Ruby was convicted of Oswald 's murder and died in prison in 1967 . After a ten - month investigation , the Warren Commission concluded that Kennedy was assassinated by Oswald , that Oswald had acted entirely alone , and that Ruby had acted alone in killing Oswald . Nonetheless , polls conducted from 1966 to 2004 found that up to 80 percent of Americans have suspected that there was a plot or cover - up . Doubts and conspiracy theories continue to persist . Assassination plots and Attempts ( edit ) Andrew Jackson ( edit ) Illustration of Jackson 's attempted assassination January 30 , 1835 : Just outside the Capitol Building , a house painter named Richard Lawrence attempted to shoot Jackson with two pistols , both of which misfired . Lawrence was apprehended after Jackson beat him severely with his cane . Lawrence was found not guilty by reason of insanity and confined to a mental institution until his death in 1861 . Abraham Lincoln ( edit ) February 23 , 1861 : The Baltimore Plot was an alleged conspiracy to assassinate President - elect Abraham Lincoln en route to his inauguration . Allan Pinkerton 's National Detective Agency played a key role in protecting the president - elect by managing Lincoln 's security throughout the journey . Though scholars debate whether the threat was real , Lincoln and his advisers took actions to ensure his safe passage through Baltimore . August 1864 : A lone rifle shot fired by an unknown sniper missed Lincoln 's head by inches ( passing through his hat ) as he rode in the late evening , unguarded , north from the White House three miles ( 5 km ) to the Soldiers ' Home ( his regular retreat where he would work and sleep before returning to the White House the following morning ) . Near 11 : 00 pm , Private John W. Nichols of the Pennsylvania 150th Volunteers , the sentry on duty at the gated entrance to the Soldiers ' Home grounds , heard the rifle shot and moments later saw the president riding toward him `` bareheaded '' . Lincoln described the matter to Ward Lamon , his old friend and loyal bodyguard . William howard Taft ( edit ) William Taft and Porfirio Díaz , historic first presidential summit , Ciudad Juarez , Mexico , October 16 , 1909 . In 1909 , Taft and Porfirio Díaz planned a summit in El Paso , Texas , and Ciudad Juárez , Mexico , a historic first meeting between a U.S. president and a Mexican president and also the first time an American president would cross the border into Mexico . Diaz requested the meeting to show U.S. support for his planned eighth run as president , and Taft agreed to support Diaz in order to protect the several billion dollars of American capital then invested in Mexico . Both sides agreed that the disputed Chamizal strip connecting El Paso to Ciudad Juárez would be considered neutral territory with no flags present during the summit , but the meeting focused attention on this territory and resulted in assassination threats and other serious security concerns . The Texas Rangers , 4,000 U.S. and Mexican troops , U.S. Secret Service agents , FBI agents and U.S. Marshals were all called in to provide security . An additional 250 private security detail led by Frederick Russell Burnham , the celebrated scout , was hired by John Hays Hammond . Hammond was a close friend of Taft from Yale and a former candidate for U.S. Vice-President in 1908 who , along with his business partner Burnham , held considerable mining interests in Mexico . On October 16 , the day of the summit , Burnham and Private C.R. Moore , a Texas Ranger , discovered a man holding a concealed palm pistol standing at the El Paso Chamber of Commerce building along the procession route . Burnham and Moore captured and disarmed the would - be assassin within only a few feet of Taft and Díaz . Theodore Roosevelt ( edit ) October 14 , 1912 : Three and a half years after he left office , Roosevelt was running for President as a member of the Progressive Party . While campaigning in Milwaukee , Wisconsin , John Flammang Schrank , a saloon - keeper from New York who had been stalking him for weeks , shot Roosevelt once in the chest with a . 38 - caliber Colt Police Positive Special revolver . The 50 - page text of his campaign speech titled `` Progressive Cause Greater Than Any Individual '' , folded over twice in Roosevelt 's breast pocket and a metal glasses case slowed the bullet , saving his life . Schrank was immediately disarmed , captured and might have been lynched had Roosevelt not shouted for Schrank to remain unharmed . Roosevelt assured the crowd he was all right , then ordered police to take charge of Schrank and to make sure no violence was done to him . Roosevelt , as an experienced hunter and anatomist , correctly concluded that since he was not coughing blood , the bullet had not reached his lung , and he declined suggestions to go to the hospital immediately . Instead , he delivered his scheduled speech with blood seeping into his shirt . He spoke for 90 minutes before completing his speech and accepting medical attention . His opening comments to the gathered crowd were , `` Ladies and gentlemen , I do n't know whether you fully understand that I have just been shot , but it takes more than that to kill a Bull Moose . '' Afterwards , probes and an x-ray showed that the bullet had lodged in Roosevelt 's chest muscle , but did not penetrate the pleura . Doctors concluded that it would be less dangerous to leave it in place than to attempt to remove it , and Roosevelt carried the bullet with him for the rest of his life . He spent two weeks recuperating before returning to the campaign trail . Despite his tenacity , Roosevelt ultimately lost his bid for reelection . At Schrank 's trial , the would - be assassin claimed that William McKinley had visited him in a dream and told him to avenge his assassination by killing Roosevelt . He was found legally insane and was institutionalized until his death in 1943 . Herbert Hoover ( edit ) On November 19 , 1928 , President - elect Hoover embarked on a ten - nation `` goodwill tour '' of Central and South America . While crossing the Andes mountains from Chile , an assassination plot by Argentine anarchists was thwarted . The group was led by Severino Di Giovanni , who planned to blow up his train as it crossed the Argentinian central plain . The plotters had an itinerary but the bomber was arrested before he could place the explosives on the rails . Hoover professed unconcern , tearing off the front page of a newspaper that revealed the plot and explaining , `` It 's just as well that Lou should n't see it , '' referring to his wife . His complimentary remarks on Argentina were well received in both the host country and in the press . Franklin D. Roosevelt ( edit ) On February 15 , 1933 , in Miami , Florida , Giuseppe Zangara fired five shots at Roosevelt , seventeen days before Roosevelt 's first presidential inauguration . Although Zangara did not wound the President - elect , he did kill Chicago Mayor Anton Cermak and wounded five other people . Zangara was found guilty of murder and was executed on March 20 , 1933 . It has never been determined who was Zangara 's target , and most assumed at first that he had been shooting at the President . Another theory , is that it may have been ordered by the imprisoned Al Capone . Soviet authorities claimed to have discovered a German plan to assassinate Roosevelt at the upcoming Tehran Conference in 1943 . Harry S. Truman ( edit ) In the summer of 1947 , pending the independence of Israel , the Zionist Stern Gang was believed to have sent a number of letter bombs addressed to the president and high - ranking staff at the White House . The Secret Service had been alerted by British intelligence after similar letters had been sent to high - ranking British officials and the Gang claimed credit. The mail room of the White House intercepted the letters and the Secret Service defused them . At the time , the incident was not publicized . Truman 's daughter Margaret confirmed the incident in her biography of Truman published in 1972 . It had earlier been told in a memoir by Ira R.T. Smith , who worked in the mail room . Main article : Attempted assassination of Harry S. Truman On November 1 , 1950 , two Puerto Rican pro-independence activists , Oscar Collazo and Griselio Torresola , attempted to kill Truman at the Blair House , where Truman lived while the White House was being renovated . In the attack , Torresola mortally wounded White House Policeman Leslie Coffelt , who killed the attacker with a shot to the head . Torresola also wounded White House Policeman Joseph Downs . Collazo wounded another officer , and survived with serious injuries . Truman was not harmed , but he was placed at a huge risk . He commuted Collazo 's death sentence after conviction in a federal trial to life in prison . In 1979 , President Jimmy Carter commuted it to time served . John F. Kennedy ( edit ) December 11 , 1960 : While vacationing in Palm Beach , Florida , President - elect John F. Kennedy was threatened by Richard Paul Pavlick , a 73 - year - old former postal worker driven by hatred of Catholics . Pavlick intended to crash his dynamite - laden 1950 Buick into Kennedy 's vehicle , but he changed his mind after seeing Kennedy 's wife and daughter bid him goodbye . Pavlick was arrested three days later by the Secret Service after being stopped for a driving violation ; police found the dynamite in his car and arrested him . On January 27 , 1961 , Pavlick was committed to the United States Public Health Service mental hospital in Springfield , Missouri , then was indicted for threatening Kennedy 's life seven weeks later . Charges against Pavlick were dropped on December 2 , 1963 , ten days after Kennedy 's assassination in Dallas . Judge Emett Clay Choate ruled that Pavlick was unable to distinguish between right and wrong in his actions , but kept him in the mental hospital . The federal government also dropped charges in August 1964 , and Pavlick was eventually released from the New Hampshire State Mental Hospital on December 13 , 1966 . Richard Nixon ( edit ) April 13 , 1972 : Arthur Bremer carried a firearm to an event intending to shoot Nixon , but was put off by strong security . A few weeks later , he instead shot and seriously injured the Governor of Alabama , George Wallace , who was paralyzed for the rest of his life until his death in 1998 . Three other people were unintentionally wounded . Bremer served 35 years in prison for the shooting of Governor Wallace . February 22 , 1974 : Samuel Byck planned to kill Nixon by crashing a commercial airliner into the White House . He hijacked the plane on the ground by force after killing a police officer , and was told that it could not take off with the wheel blocks still in place . After he shot both pilots ( one later died ) , an officer , Charles ' Butch ' Troyer , shot Byck through the plane 's door window . He survived long enough to kill himself by shooting . Gerald Ford ( edit ) Main articles : attempt in Sacramento ( Lynette Fromme ) and attempt in San Francisco ( Sara Jane Moore ) September 5 , 1975 : On the northern grounds of the California State Capitol , Lynette `` Squeaky '' Fromme , a follower of Charles Manson , drew a Colt M1911 . 45 caliber pistol on Ford when he reached to shake her hand in a crowd . She had four cartridges in the pistol 's magazine but none in the firing chamber , and as a result , the gun did not fire . She was quickly restrained by Secret Service agent Larry Buendorf . Fromme was sentenced to life in prison , but was released from custody on August 14 , 2009 ( two years and 8 months after Ford 's death in 2006 ) . September 22 , 1975 : In San Francisco , California , only 17 days after Fromme 's attempt , Sara Jane Moore fired a revolver at Ford from 40 feet ( 12 m ) away . A bystander , Oliver Sipple , grabbed Moore 's arm and the shot missed Ford , striking a building wall and slightly injuring taxi driver John Ludwig . Moore was tried and convicted in federal court , and sentenced to prison for life . She was paroled from a federal prison on December 31 , 2007 after serving more than 30 years , one year and five days after Ford 's natural death . Jimmy Carter ( edit ) Raymond Lee Harvey was an Ohio - born unemployed American drifter . He was arrested by the Secret Service after being found carrying a starter pistol with blank rounds , ten minutes before Carter was to give a speech at the Civic Center Mall in Los Angeles on May 5 , 1979 . Harvey had a history of mental illness , but police had to investigate his claim that he was part of a four - man operation to assassinate the president . According to Harvey , he fired seven blank rounds from the starter pistol on the hotel roof on the night of May 4 to test how much noise it would make . He claimed to have been with one of the plotters that night , whom he knew as `` Julio '' . ( This man was later identified as a 21 - year - old illegal immigrant from Mexico , who gave the name Osvaldo Espinoza Ortiz . ) At the time of his arrest , Harvey had eight spent rounds in his pocket , as well as 70 unspent blank rounds for the gun . Harvey was jailed on a $50,000 bond , given his transient status , and Ortiz was alternately reported as being held on a $100,000 bond as a material witness or held on a $50,000 bond being charged with burglary from a car . Charges against the pair were ultimately dismissed for a lack of evidence . John Hinckley , Jr. came close to shooting Carter during his re-election campaign , but he lost his nerve . He would later attempt to kill President Ronald Reagan in March 1981 . Ronald Reagan ( edit ) Main article : Attempted assassination of Ronald Reagan Ronald Reagan waves just before he is shot outside a Washington hotel on March 30 , 1981 . From left are Jerry Parr , in white trench coat , who pushed Reagan into the limousine ; press secretary James Brady , who was seriously wounded by a gunshot wound to the head ; Reagan ; aide Michael Deaver ; an unidentified policeman ; policeman Thomas K. Delahanty , who was shot in the neck ; and secret service agent Tim McCarthy , who was shot in the stomach . On March 30 , 1981 , as Ronald Reagan returned to his limousine after speaking at the Washington Hilton hotel , he and three others were shot by John Hinckley , Jr . Reagan was struck by a single bullet that broke a rib , punctured a lung , and caused serious internal bleeding , but he recovered quickly . Hinckley was arrested at the scene , and later said he had wanted to kill Reagan to impress actress Jodie Foster . He was deemed mentally ill and confined to an institution . Besides Reagan , White House Press Secretary James Brady , Secret Service agent Tim McCarthy , and police officer Thomas Delahanty were also wounded . All three survived , but Brady suffered brain damage and was permanently disabled ; Brady 's death in 2014 was considered homicide because it was ultimately caused by this injury . Hinckley was released from institutional psychiatric care at St. Elizabeth Hospital in Washington , D.C. , on September 10 , 2016 . George H.W. Bush ( edit ) April 13 , 1993 : Fourteen men believed to be working for Saddam Hussein smuggled bombs into Kuwait , planning to assassinate former President Bush by a car bomb during his visit to Kuwait University three months after he had left office ( in January 1993 ) . The plot was foiled when Kuwaiti officials found the bomb and arrested the suspected assassins . Two of the suspects , Wali Abdelhadi Ghazali and Raad Abdel - Amir al - Assadi , retracted their confessions at the trial , claiming that they were coerced . There is evidence that the Iraqi Intelligence Service , particularly Directorate 14 , was behind the plot . Then - president Bill Clinton responded by launching a cruise missile attack on an Iraqi intelligence building in Baghdad . Bill Clinton ( edit ) January 21 , 1994 : Ronald Gene Barbour , a retired military officer and freelance writer , plotted to kill Clinton while the President was jogging . Barbour returned to Florida a week later without having fired the shots at the president , who was on a state visit to Russia . Barbour was sentenced to five years in prison and was released in 1998 . September 12 , 1994 : Frank Eugene Corder flew a stolen single - engine Cessna onto the White House lawn and crashed into a tree . Corder , a truck driver from Maryland who reportedly had alcohol problems , allegedly tried to hit the White House . He was killed in the crash . The President and First Family were not home at the time . October 29 , 1994 : Francisco Martin Duran fired at least 29 shots with a semi-automatic rifle at the White House from a fence overlooking the north lawn , thinking that Clinton was among the men in dark suits standing there ( Clinton was inside ) . Three tourists , Harry Rakosky , Ken Davis and Robert Haines , tackled Duran before he could injure anyone . Found to have a suicide note in his pocket , Duran was sentenced to 40 years in prison . 1996 : During his visit to the Asia - Pacific Economic Cooperation ( APEC ) forum in Manila in 1996 , Clinton 's motorcade was rerouted before it was to drive over a bridge . Service officers had intercepted a message suggesting that an attack was imminent , and Lewis Merletti , the director of the Secret Service , ordered the motorcade to be re-routed . An intelligence team later discovered a bomb under the bridge . Subsequent U.S. investigation `` revealed that ( the plot ) was masterminded by a Saudi terrorist living in Afghanistan named Osama bin Laden '' . George W. Bush ( edit ) Main article : Assassination threats against George W. Bush February 7 , 2001 : While President George W. Bush was in the White House , Robert Pickett , standing outside the perimeter fence , discharged a number of shots from a weapon in the direction of the White House . He was sentenced to three years in prison . The attempt happened within a month of the president taking office . May 10 , 2005 : While President Bush was giving a speech in the Freedom Square in Tbilisi , Georgia , Vladimir Arutyunian threw a live Soviet - made RGD - 5 hand grenade toward the podium . The grenade had its pin pulled , but did not explode because a red tartan handkerchief was wrapped tightly around it , preventing the safety lever from detaching . After escaping that day , Arutyunian was arrested in July 2005 . During his arrest , he killed an Interior Ministry agent . He was convicted in January 2006 and given a life sentence . Barack Obama ( edit ) Main article : Assassination threats against Barack Obama April 2009 : A plot to assassinate Obama at the Alliance of Civilizations summit in Istanbul , Turkey was discovered after a man of Syrian origins carrying forged Al - Jazeera TV press credentials was found . The man confessed to the Turkish security services details of his plan to kill Obama with a knife with three alleged accomplices . November 2011 : Oscar Ramiro Ortega - Hernandez hit the White House with several rounds fired from a semi-automatic rifle . No one was injured . However , a window was broken . He was sentenced to 25 years in prison . April 2013 : Another attempt was made when a letter laced with ricin , a deadly poison , was sent to President Obama . Presidential deaths Rumored to be assassinations ( edit ) Zachary Taylor ( edit ) On July 4 , 1850 , President Zachary Taylor fell ill and was diagnosed by his physicians with cholera morbus , a term that included diarrhea and dysentery but not true cholera . Cholera , typhoid fever and food poisoning have all been indicated as the source of the president 's ultimately fatal gastroenteritis . A hasty snack of iced milk , cold cherries and pickles consumed at an Independence Day celebration might have been the culprit . Taylor died five days later in the White House on July 9 , 1850 , at 10 : 35 p.m. ( 22 : 35 ) . In the late 1980s , author Clara Rising theorized that Taylor was murdered by poison ; she was able to convince Taylor 's closest living relative , as well as the coroner of Jefferson County , Kentucky , Dr. Richard Greathouse , to order an exhumation . On June 17 , 1991 , Taylor 's remains were exhumed from the vault at the Zachary Taylor National Cemetery in Louisville , Kentucky . Radiological studies were conducted of the remains before small samples of hair , fingernail , and other tissues were removed . The remains were retinterred with appropriate honors . The samples were sent to Oak Ridge National Laboratory , where neutron activation analysis revealed traces of arsenic , but at levels less than one percent of the level expected in a death by poisoning . Warren G. Harding ( edit ) In June 1923 , President Warren G. Harding set out on a cross-country `` Voyage of Understanding '' , planning to meet with citizens and explain his policies . During this trip , he became the first president to visit Alaska , which was then a U.S. territory . Rumors of corruption in the Harding administration were beginning to circulate in Washington by 1923 , and Harding was profoundly shocked by a long message he received while in Alaska , apparently detailing illegal activities by his own cabinet that were allegedly unknown to him . At the end of July , while traveling south from Alaska through British Columbia , he developed what was thought to be a severe case of food poisoning . He gave the final speech of his life to a large crowd at the University of Washington Stadium ( now Husky Stadium ) at the University of Washington campus in Seattle , Washington . A scheduled speech in Portland , Oregon , was canceled . The President 's train proceeded south to San Francisco . Upon arriving at the Palace Hotel , he developed pneumonia . Harding died in his hotel room of either a heart attack or a stroke at 7 : 35 p.m. ( 19 : 35 ) on August 2 , 1923 . The formal announcement , printed in The New York Times of that day , stated : `` A stroke of apoplexy was the cause of death . '' He had been ill exactly one week . Naval physicians surmised that Harding had suffered a heart attack . The Hardings ' personal medical advisor , homeopath and Surgeon General Charles E. Sawyer , disagreed with the diagnosis . His wife , Florence Harding , refused permission for an autopsy , which soon led to speculation that the President had been the victim of a plot , possibly carried out by his wife , as Harding apparently had been unfaithful to the First Lady . Gaston B. Means , an amateur historian and gadfly , noted in his book The Strange Death of President Harding ( 1930 ) that the circumstances surrounding his death led to suspicions that he had been poisoned . A number of individuals attached to him , both personally and politically , would have welcomed Harding 's death , as they would have been disgraced in association by Means ' assertion of Harding 's `` imminent impeachment '' .

who is the first president to be assassinated
[ "Assassination attempts and plots on the President of the United States have been numerous, ranging from the early 1800s to the 2010s. More than 30 attempts to kill an incumbent or former president, or a president-elect have been made since the early 1800s. Four sitting presidents have been killed, all of them by gunshot: Abraham Lincoln (1865), James A. Garfield (1881), William McKinley (1901) and John F. Kennedy (1963). Additionally, two presidents have been injured in attempted assassinations, also by gunshot: Theodore Roosevelt (1912; former president at the time) and Ronald Reagan (1981)." ]

Fair Housing Act
Fair Housing Act - wikipedia Fair Housing Act For the 1963 California law , see Rumford Fair Housing Act . The Fair Housing Act is a federal act in the United States intended to protect the buyer or renter of a dwelling from seller or landlord discrimination . Its primary prohibition makes it unlawful to refuse to sell , rent to , or negotiate with any person because of that person 's inclusion in a protected class . The goal is a unitary housing market in which a person 's background ( as opposed to financial resources ) does not arbitrarily restrict access . Calls for open housing were issued early in the twentieth century , but it was not until after World War II that concerted efforts to achieve it were undertaken . The legislation was the culmination of a civil rights campaign against housing discrimination in the United States and was approved by President Lyndon B. Johnson one week after the assassination of Martin Luther King , Jr . The Fair Housing Act was enacted as Title VIII of the Civil Rights Act of 1968 , and codified at 42 U.S.C. 3601 - 3619 , with penalties for violation at 42 U.S.C. 3631 . It is enforced by the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development . Contents ( hide ) 1 Summary 2 Enforcement 3 See also 4 Notes 5 External links Summary ( edit ) The Fair Housing Act ( Title VIII of the Civil Rights Act of 1968 ) introduced meaningful federal enforcement mechanisms . It outlaws : Refusal to sell or rent a dwelling to any person because of race , color , disability , religion , sex , familial status , or national origin . Discrimination based on race , color , religion , sex , disability , familial status , or national origin in the terms , conditions or privileges of sale or rental of a dwelling . Advertising the sale or rental of a dwelling indicating preference , limitation , or discrimination based on race , color , religion , sex , handicap , familial status , disability or national origin . Coercing , threatening , intimidating , or interfering with a person 's enjoyment or exercise of housing rights based on discriminatory reasons or retaliating against a person or organization that aids or encourages the exercise or enjoyment of fair housing rights . When the Fair Housing Act was first enacted , it prohibited discrimination only on the basis of race , color , religion , and national origin . Sex was added as a protected characteristic in 1974 . In 1988 , disability and familial status ( the presence or anticipated presence of children under 18 in a household ) were added ( further codified in the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 ) . In certain circumstances , the law allows limited exceptions for discrimination based on sex , religion , or familial status . In 2017 , a federal judge ruled that sexual orientation and gender identity are protected classes under the Fair Housing Act . As of May 2018 , there is an additional pending effort to amend the Fair Housing Act to make this explicit ( HR 1447 ) . In a meeting on May 16 , 2018 with the National Association of Realtors ( NAR ) , Rep. Dana Rohrabacher ( R - Calif . ) , who is campaigning for his 16th term , said he believed that homeowners should be allowed to refuse to sell their home to gay and lesbian homebuyers . NAR disagreed and withdrew its endorsement of the Congressman over the matter . The United States Department of Housing and Urban Development is the federal executive department with the statutory authority to administer and enforce the Fair Housing Act . The Secretary of Housing and Urban Development has delegated fair housing enforcement and compliance activities to HUD 's Office of Fair Housing and Equal Opportunity ( FHEO ) and HUD 's Office of General Counsel . FHEO is one of the United States ' largest federal civil rights agencies . It has a staff of more than 600 people located in 54 offices around the United States . As of August 2017 , the head of FHEO is Assistant Secretary for Fair Housing and Equal Opportunity Anna Maria Farias , whose appointment was confirmed on August 3 , 2017 . Individuals who believe they have experienced housing discrimination can file a complaint with FHEO at no charge . FHEO funds and has working agreements with many state and local governmental agencies where `` substantially equivalent '' fair housing laws are in place . Under these agreements , FHEO refers complaints to the state or locality where the alleged incident occurred , and those agencies investigate and process the case instead of FHEO . This is known as FHEO 's Fair Housing Assistance Program ( or `` FHAP '' ) . There is also a network of private , non-profit fair housing advocacy organizations throughout the country . Some are funded by FHEO 's Fair Housing Initiatives Program ( or `` FHIP '' ) , and some operate with private donations or grants from other sources . Victims of housing discrimination need not go through HUD or any other governmental agency to pursue their rights , however . The Fair Housing Act confers jurisdiction to hear cases on federal district courts . The United States Department of Justice also has jurisdiction to file cases on behalf of the United States where there is a pattern and practice of discrimination or where HUD has found discrimination in a case and either party elects to go to federal court instead of continuing in the HUD administrative process . The Fair Housing Act applies to landlords renting or leasing space in their primary residence only if the residence contains living quarters occupied or intended to be occupied by three or more other families living independently of each other , such as an owner - occupied rooming house . Enforcement ( edit ) The Fair Housing Act has been strengthened since its adoption in 1968 , but enforcement continues to be a concern among housing advocates . According to a 2010 evaluation of Analysis of Impediments ( AI ) reports done by the Government Accountability Office , enforcement is particularly inconsistent across local jurisdictions .

Mayflower - wikipedia Mayflower Jump to : navigation , search For other ships , see Mayflower ( ship ) . For other uses , see Mayflower ( disambiguation ) . Mayflower in Plymouth Harbor by William Halsall ( 1882 ) Name : Mayflower Owner : Christopher Jones ( 1⁄4 of the ship ) Maiden voyage : Before 1609 Out of service : 1622 -- 1624 Fate : most likely taken apart by Rotherhithe shipbreaker c. 1624 . General characteristics Class and type : Dutch cargo fluyt Tonnage : 180 tons + Length : c. 80 -- 90 ft ( 24 -- 27.5 m ) on deck , 100 -- 110 ft ( 30 -- 33.5 m ) overall . Decks : Around 4 Capacity : Unknown , but carried c. 135 people during the historical voyage to what they would call Plymouth Colony The Mayflower was an English ship that famously transported the first English Puritans , known today as the Pilgrims , from Plymouth , England to the New World in 1620 . There were 102 passengers , and the crew is estimated to have been about 30 , but the exact number is unknown . This voyage has become an iconic story in some of the earliest annals of American history , with its story of death and of survival in the harsh New England winter environment . The culmination of the voyage in the signing of the Mayflower Compact was an event which established a rudimentary form of democracy , with each member contributing to the welfare of the community . There was a second ship named Mayflower that made the London to Plymouth , Massachusetts voyage several times .

Her stern carried a 30 - foot high , square aft - castle which made the ship extremely difficult to sail against the wind and unable to sail well against the North Atlantic 's prevailing Westerlies , especially in the Fall and Winter of 1620 . This was the direct cause of the voyage from England to America taking more than two months . The Mayflower 's return trip to London in April -- May 1621 took less than half that time , with the same strong winds following . By 1620 , the Mayflower was aging , nearing the end of the usual working life of an English merchant ship in that era , some 15 years . No dimensions of her hull can be stated exactly , since this was many years before such measurements were standardized . She probably measured about 100 feet ( 30 m ) in length from the forward end at the beak of her prow to the tip of her stern superstructure aft . She was about 25 feet ( 7.6 m ) at her widest point , with the bottom of her keel about 12 feet ( 3.6 m ) below the waterline . Although William Bradford was not a mariner , he estimated that Mayflower had a cargo capacity of 180 tons . What is known on the basis of surviving records from that time is that she could certainly accommodate 180 casks of wine in her cargo hold . The casks were great barrels that each held hundreds of gallons of claret wine . This was a ship that traditionally was heavily armed while on trading routes around Europe , due to the possibility of encountering pirates and privateers of all types . And with its armament , the ship and crew could easily be conscripted by the English monarch at any time in case of conflict with other nations . General layout The general layout of the ship was as follows : Three masts : mizzen ( aft ) , main ( midship ) , and fore , and also a spritsail in the bow area . Three primary levels : main deck , gun deck , and cargo hold . Main deck Aft on the main deck in the stern was the cabin for Master Christopher Jones , measuring about ten by seven feet ( 3 m × 2.1 m ) . Forward of that was the steerage room , which housed a whipstaff ( tiller extension ) for sailing control ; not a wheel , as in later ships . Also here was the ship 's compass and probably also berths for the ship 's officers . Forward of the steerage room was the capstan , a vertical axle used to pull in ropes or cables . Far forward on the main deck , just aft of the bow , was the forecastle space where the ship 's cook prepared meals for the crew ; it may also have been where the ship 's sailors slept . The poop deck was above the cabin of Master Jones , on the ship 's highest level above the stern on the aft castle . The poop house was on this deck , which may have been for passengers ' use either for sleeping or cargo . On normal merchant ships , this space was probably a chart room or a cabin for the master 's mates . Gun deck The gun deck was where the passengers resided during the voyage , in a space measuring about 50 by 25 feet ( 15.2 m × 7.6 m ) with a five - foot ( 1.5 m ) overhead ( ceiling ) . But it was also a dangerous place in conflict , as it had port and starboard gun ports from which cannon could be run out to fire on the enemy . The gun room was in the stern area of the gun deck , to which passengers had no access due to it being the storage space for powder and ammunition for the ship 's cannons and any other weapons belonging to the ship . The gun room might also house a pair of stern chasers , small cannons used to fire out the stern of the ship . Forward on the gun deck in the bow area was a windlass , equipment similar in function to the capstan in steerage , which was used to raise and lower the ship 's main anchor . There were no stairs for the passengers on the gun deck to go up through the gratings to the main deck . To get up to the main deck , passengers were required to climb a wooden or rope ladder . There was no facility for a latrine or privy on the Mayflower , and ship 's crew had to fend for themselves in that regard . Gun deck passengers most likely used a bucket as a chamber pot , affixed to the deck or bulkhead to keep it from being jostled at sea . Gun deck armament The largest gun was a minion cannon which was brass , weighed about 1,200 pounds ( 545 kg ) , and could shoot a 3.5 pound ( 1.6 kg ) cannonball almost a mile ( 1,600 m ) . The Mayflower also had on board a saker cannon of about 800 pounds ( 360 kg ) , and two base cannons that weighed about 200 pounds ( 90 kg ) which shot a 3 to 5 ounce ball ( 85 -- 140 g ) . She carried at least ten pieces of ordnance on the port and starboard sides of her gun deck : seven cannons for long range purposes , and three smaller guns often fired from the stern at close quarters that were filled with musket balls . Later at New Plymouth , Mayflower Master Jones unloaded four of the pieces to help fortify the colony against invaders , and would not have done so unless he was comfortable with the armament that he still had on board . Cargo hold Below the gun deck was the cargo hold where the passengers kept most of their food stores and other supplies . Other items included most of their clothing and bedding . The hold also stored the passengers ' personal weapons and military equipment -- armor , muskets , gunpowder , and shot , as well as swords and bandoliers . It also stored all the tools that the Pilgrims would need , as well as all the equipment and utensils needed to prepare meals in the New World . It is also known that some Pilgrims loaded trade goods on board , including Isaac Allerton , William Mullins , and possibly others ; these also most likely were stored in the cargo hold . Early history It is not known when and where the Mayflower was built , but it is likely that she was launched at Harwich in the county of Essex , England . She was designated as `` of Harwich '' in the Port Books of 1609 -- 11 , although later known as `` of London '' . Harwich was also the birthplace of Mayflower master Christopher Jones about 1570 . Captain Jones became master of the Mayflower 11 years prior to the Pilgrims ' voyage , sailing the ship cross-Channel taking English woolens to France and bringing French wine to London . In addition , he had also transported hats , hemp , Spanish salt , hops , and vinegar to Norway , and may have taken the Mayflower whaling in the North Atlantic in the Greenland area . She had traveled to Mediterranean ports , being then owned by Christopher Nichols , Robert Child , Thomas Short , and Christopher Jones , the ship 's master . In 1620 , Jones and Robert Child still owned their quarter shares in the ship , and it was from them that Thomas Weston chartered her in the summer of 1620 to undertake the Pilgrim voyage . Weston had a significant role in the Mayflower voyage , due to his membership in the Company of Merchant Adventurers , and he eventually traveled to the Plymouth Colony himself . There were 26 vessels bearing the same name as the Pilgrim ship in the Port Books of England in the reign of James I ( 1603 -- 1625 ) , and the reason for this popularity of the name has never been found . One particular Mayflower that has caused historical confusion is a Mayflower erroneously identified as one of the 1620 Pilgrims . This ship was partly owned by John Vassall and was outfitted for Queen Elizabeth in 1588 , during the time of the Spanish Armada , a war for which Vassall outfitted several ships . However , there are no records of Vassall 's Mayflower after 1594 . The identity of Captain Jones 's Mayflower is based on records of the time of her home port , her tonnage ( est. 180 -- 200 tons ) , and the master 's name in 1620 in order to avoid confusion with the many other Mayflower ships . Records dating from August 1609 first note Christopher Jones as master and part owner of the Mayflower when his ship was chartered for a voyage from London to Trondheim in Norway and back to London . The ship lost an anchor on her return , due to bad weather , and made short delivery of her cargo of herrings . Litigation resulted , and this was still proceeding in 1612 . Christopher Jones is described in a document of January 1611 as being `` of Harwich '' , and his ship is called the Mayflower of Harwich ( in the county of Essex ) . Records of Jones 's ship Mayflower show that the ship was twice on the Thames at London in 1613 , once in July and again in October and November . Records of 1616 again state that Jones 's ship was on the Thames , carrying a cargo of wine , which suggests that the ship had recently been on a voyage to France , Spain , Portugal , the Canaries , or some other wine - producing land . After 1616 , there is no further record which specifically relates to Jones 's Mayflower until 1624 . This is unusual for a ship trading to London , as it would not usually disappear from the records for such a long time . And no Admiralty court document can be found relating to the pilgrim fathers ' voyage of 1620 , although this might be due to the unusual way in which the transfer of the pilgrims was arranged from Leyden to New England . Or some of the records of the period may have been lost . Voyage Speedwell and Mayflower Mayflower arrived in the `` Cape Cod fishhook '' , 11 November 1620 ( satellite photo , 1997 ) About 65 passengers embarked the Mayflower in London at its homeport in the Rotherhithe district on the Thames about the middle of July in 1620 . She then proceeded down the Thames into the English Channel and then on to the south coast to anchor at Southampton Water . The Mayflower waited there for seven days for a rendezvous on July 22 with the Speedwell , coming with Leiden church members from Delfshaven in Holland . The two ships set sail about August 5 , but the unseaworthy Speedwell sprang a leak shortly after , and the ships were put into Dartmouth for repairs . The two ships made a new start after the repairs , and they were more than 200 miles ( 320 km ) beyond Land 's End at the southwestern tip of England when Speedwell sprang another leak . It was now early September , and they had no choice but to abandon the Speedwell and make a determination on her passengers . This was a dire event , as the ship had wasted vital funds and was considered very important to the future success of their settlement in America . Speedwell was sold soon after the Mayflower continued on her voyage to America . According to Bradford , she was refitted and `` made many voyages ... to the great profit of her owners . '' Bradford later assumed that Speedwell master Reynolds 's `` cunning and deceit '' ( in causing what may have been man - made leaks in the ship ) had been motivated by a fear of starving to death in America . In addition to the 102 passengers , the officers and crew consisted of about 25 -- 30 persons , bringing the total persons on board the Mayflower to approximately 130 . Mayflower sets sail For more details on acquisition of the ship and the planning of the voyage , see Pilgrims ( Plymouth Colony ) . In early September , western gales begin to make the North Atlantic a dangerous place for sailing . The Mayflower 's provisions were already quite low when departing Southampton , and they became lower still by delays of more than a month . The passengers had been on board the ship for this entire time , and they were quite worn out and in no condition for a very taxing , lengthy Atlantic journey cooped up in cramped spaces in a small ship . But the Mayflower sailed from Plymouth on September 6 , 1620 with what Bradford called `` a prosperous wind '' . Plaque on the side of a building next to Newlyn Old Quay The last port in England for the Mayflower was traditionally thought to be Plymouth ; however , there is continued controversy that the ship had to stop at Newlyn in Cornwall on the Land 's End peninsula before sailing west . It was believed that the water picked up at Plymouth had caused fever and cholera in the city , so Newlyn provided fresh water to the ship . Newlyn has a plaque to this effect on the side of a building on its quay , erected in remembrance of Plymouth historian Bill Best Harris , whose research is believed to have uncovered this little - known detail about the voyage . Aboard the Mayflower were many stores that supplied the pilgrims with the essentials needed for their journey and future lives . It is assumed that they carried tools and weapons , including cannon , shot , and gunpowder , as well as some live animals , including dogs , sheep , goats , and poultry . Horses and cattle came later . The Mayflower also carried two boats : a long boat and a `` shallop '' , a 21 - foot boat powered by oars or sails . She also carried 12 artillery pieces ( eight minions and four sakers ) , as the Pilgrims feared that they might need to defend themselves against enemy European forces , as well as the natives . The Mayflower Memorial in Southampton The passage was a miserable one , with huge waves constantly crashing against the ship 's topside deck until a key structural support timber fractured . The passengers had already suffered agonizing delays , shortages of food , and other shortages , and were now called upon to provide assistance to the ship 's carpenter in repairing the fractured main support beam . This was repaired with the use of a metal mechanical device called a jackscrew , which had been loaded on board to help in the construction of settler homes . It was now used to secure the beam to keep it from cracking further , making the ship seaworthy enough . The crew of the Mayflower had some devices to assist them en route , such as a compass for navigation , as well as a log and line system to measure speed in nautical miles per hour ( knots ) . Time was measured with the ancient method of an hour glass . There were two deaths , but this was only a precursor of what happened after their arrival on Cape Cod . Arrival in America On November 9 , 1620 , they sighted present - day Cape Cod . They spent several days trying to sail south to their planned destination of the Colony of Virginia , where they had obtained permission to settle from the Company of Merchant Adventurers . However , strong winter seas forced them to return to the harbor at Cape Cod hook , well north of the intended area , where they anchored on November 11 . The settlers wrote and signed the Mayflower Compact after the ship dropped anchor at Cape Cod , in what is now Provincetown Harbor , in order to establish legal order and to quell increasing strife within the ranks . On Monday , November 27 , an exploring expedition was launched under the direction of Capt . Christopher Jones to search for a suitable settlement site . As master of the Mayflower , Jones was not required to assist in the search , but he apparently thought it in his best interest to assist the search expedition . There were 34 persons in the open shallop : 24 passengers and 10 sailors . They were obviously not prepared for the bitter winter weather which they encountered on their reconnoiter , the Mayflower passengers not being accustomed to winter weather much colder than back home . They were forced to spend the night ashore due to the bad weather which they encountered , ill - clad in below - freezing temperatures with wet shoes and stockings that became frozen . Bradford wrote , `` Some of our people that are dead took the original of their death here '' on that expedition . The settlers explored the snow - covered area and discovered an empty native village , now known as Corn Hill in Truro . The curious settlers dug up some artificially made mounds , some of which stored corn , while others were burial sites . Nathaniel Philbrick claims that the settlers stole the corn and looted and desecrated the graves , sparking friction with the locals . Philbrick goes on to say that they explored the area of Cape Cod for several weeks as they moved down the coast to what is now Eastham , and he claims that the Pilgrims were looting and stealing native stores as they went . He then writes about how they decided to relocate to Plymouth after a difficult encounter with the Nausets at First Encounter Beach in December 1620 . However , Bradford 's History of Plymouth Plantation steadfastly denies such revisionist theories . Bradford records that they took `` some '' of the corn to show the others back at the boat , leaving the rest . They later took what they needed from another store of grain , paying the locals back in six months , and it was gladly received . Also there was found more of their corn and of their beans of various colors ; the corn and beans they brought away , purposing to give them full satisfaction when they should meet with any of them as , about some six months afterward they did , to their good content . First winter During the winter , the passengers remained on board the Mayflower , suffering an outbreak of a contagious disease described as a mixture of scurvy , pneumonia , and tuberculosis . When it ended , only 53 passengers remained -- just over half ; half of the crew died , as well . In the spring , they built huts ashore , and the passengers disembarked from the Mayflower on March 21 , 1621 . The settlers decided to mount `` our great ordnances '' on the hill overlooking the settlement in late February 1621 , due to the fear of attack by the natives . Christopher Jones supervised the transportation of the `` great guns '' -- about six iron cannons that ranged between four and eight feet ( 1.2 to 2.4 m ) in length and weighed almost half a ton . The cannon were able to hurl iron balls 3.5 inches ( 8.9 cm ) in diameter as far as 1,700 yards ( 1.5 km ) . This action made what was no more than a ramshackle village almost into a well - defended fortress . Jones had originally planned to return to England as soon as the Pilgrims found a settlement site . But his crew members began to be ravaged by the same diseases that were felling the Pilgrims , and he realized that he had to remain in Plymouth Harbor `` till he saw his men began to recover . '' The Mayflower lay in New Plymouth harbor through the winter of 1620 -- 21 , then set sail for England on April 5 , 1621 , her empty hold ballasted with stones from the Plymouth Harbor shore . As with the Pilgrims , her sailors had been decimated by disease . Jones had lost his boatswain , his gunner , three quartermasters , the cook , and more than a dozen sailors . The Mayflower made excellent time on her voyage back to England . The westerly winds that had buffeted her coming out pushed her along going home , and she arrived at the home port of Rotherhithe in London on May 6 , 1621 , less than half the time that it had taken her to sail to America . '' Jones died after coming back from a voyage to France on March 5 , 1622 , at about age 52 . For the next two years , the Mayflower lay at her berth in Rotherhithe , not far from Jones ' grave at St. Mary 's church . By 1624 , she was no longer useful as a ship ; her subsequent fate is unknown , but she was probably broken up about that time . Passengers For more details on the passenger list , see List of passengers on the Mayflower . Some families traveled together , while some men came alone , leaving families in England and Leiden . Two wives on board were pregnant ; Elizabeth Hopkins gave birth to son Oceanus while at sea , and Susanna White gave birth to son Peregrine in late November while the ship was anchored in Cape Cod Harbor . He is historically recognized as the first European child born in the New England area . One child died during the voyage , and there was one stillbirth during the construction of the colony . According to the Mayflower passenger list , just over a third of the passengers were Puritan Separatists who sought to break away from the established Church of England and create a society along the lines of their religious ideals . Others were hired hands , servants , or farmers recruited by London merchants , all originally destined for the Colony of Virginia . Four of this latter group of passengers were small children given into the care of Mayflower pilgrims as indentured servants . The Virginia Company began the transportation of children in 1618 . Until relatively recently , the children were thought to be orphans , foundlings , or involuntary child labor . At that time , children were routinely rounded up from the streets of London or taken from poor families receiving church relief to be used as laborers in the colonies . Any legal objections to the involuntary transportation of the children were overridden by the Privy Council . In 1959 , it was conclusively shown that the four More children were sent to America because they were deemed illegitimate . Three of the four More children died in the first winter in the New World , but Richard lived to be approximately 81 , dying in Salem , probably in 1695 or 1696 . The passengers mostly slept and lived in the low - ceilinged great cabins and on the main deck , which was 75 by 20 ( 23 m × 6 m ) at most . The cabins were thin - walled and extremely cramped , and the total area was 25 ft by 15 ft ( 7.6 m × 4.5 m ) at its largest . Below decks , any person over five feet ( 150 cm ) tall would be unable to stand up straight . The maximum possible space for each person would have been slightly less than the size of a standard single bed . Passengers would pass the time by reading by candlelight or playing cards and games such as Nine Men 's Morris . Meals on board were cooked by the firebox , which was an iron tray with sand in it on which a fire was built . This was risky because it was kept in the waist of the ship . Passengers made their own meals from rations that were issued daily and food was cooked for a group at a time . Upon arrival late in the year , the harsh climate and scarcity of fresh food caused many more deaths , and provisions were short due to the delay in departure . Living in these extremely close and crowded quarters , several passengers experienced scurvy , a disease caused by a lack of the essential nutrient vitamin C. There was no way to store fruits or vegetables without their becoming rotten , so many passengers did not receive enough nutrients in their diets . Passengers with scurvy experienced symptoms such as rotten teeth which would fall out , bleeding gums , and stinking breath . Passengers consumed large amounts of alcohol such as beer with meals which was known to be safer than water , which often came from polluted sources causing diseases . All food and drink was stored in barrels known as `` hogsheads '' . William Mullins took 126 pairs of shoes and 13 pairs of boots . These clothes included oiled leather and canvas suits , stuff gowns and leather and stuff breeches , shirts , jerkins , doublets , neckcloths , hats and caps , hose , stockings , belts , piece goods , and haberdasherie . At his death , his estate consisted of extensive footwear and other items of clothing , and made his daughter Priscilla and her husband John Alden quite prosperous . No cattle or beasts of draft or burden were brought on the journey , but there were pigs , goats , and poultry . Some passengers brought family pets such as cats and birds . Peter Browne took his large bitch mastiff , and John Goodman brought along his spaniel . Mayflower officers , crew , and others According to author Charles Banks , the officers and crew of the Mayflower consisted of a captain , four mates , four quartermasters , surgeon , carpenter , cooper , cooks , boatswains , gunners , and about 36 men before the mast , making a total of about 50 . The entire crew stayed with the Mayflower in Plymouth through the winter of 1620 -- 1621 , and about half of them died during that time . The remaining crewmen returned to England on the Mayflower , which sailed for London on April 5 , 1621 . Crew members per various sources Banks states that the crew totaled 36 men before the mast and 14 officers , making a total of 50 . Nathaniel Philbrick estimates between 20 and 30 sailors in her crew whose names are unknown . Nick Bunker states that Mayflower had a crew of at least 17 and possibly as many as 30 . Caleb Johnson states that the ship carried a crew of about 30 men , but the exact number is unknown . Officers and crew Captain : Christopher Jones . About age 50 , of Harwich , a seaport in Essex , England , which was also the port of his ship Mayflower . He and his ship were veterans of the European cargo business , often carrying wine to England , but neither had ever crossed the Atlantic . By June 1620 , he and the Mayflower had been hired for the Pilgrims voyage by their business agents in London , Thomas Weston of the Merchant Adventurers and Robert Cushman . Masters Mate : John Clark ( Clarke ) , Pilot . By age 45 in 1620 , Clark already had greater adventures than most other mariners of that dangerous era . His piloting career began in England about 1609 . In early 1611 , he was pilot of a 300 - ton ship on his first New World voyage , with a three - ship convoy sailing from London to the new settlement of Jamestown in Virginia . Two other ships were in that convoy , and the three ships brought 300 new settlers to Jamestown , going first to the Caribbean islands of Dominica and Nevis . While in Jamestown , Clark piloted ships in the area carrying various stores . During that time , he was taken prisoner in a confrontation with the Spanish ; he was taken to Havana and held for two years , then transferred to Spain where he was in custody for five years . In 1616 , he was finally freed in a prisoner exchange with England . In 1618 , he was back in Jamestown as pilot of the ship Falcon . Shortly after his return to England , he was hired as pilot for the Mayflower in 1620 . Masters Mate : Robert Coppin , Pilot . Coppin had prior New World experience ; he previously hunted whales in Newfoundland and sailed the coast of New England . He was an early investor in the Virginia Company , being named in the Second Virginia Charter of 1609 . He was possibly from Harwich in Essex , the hometown of Captain Jones . Masters Mate : Andrew Williamson Masters Mate : John Parker Surgeon : Doctor Giles Heale . The surgeon on board the Mayflower was never mentioned by Bradford , but his identity was well established . He was essential in providing comfort to all who died or were made ill that first winter . He was a young man from Drury Lane in the parish of St. Giles in the Field , London who had completed his apprenticeship with the Barber - Surgeons in the previous year . On February 21 , 1621 , he was a witness to the death - bed will of William Mullins . He survived the first winter and returned to London on the Mayflower in April 1621 , where he began his medical practice and worked as a surgeon until his death in 1653 . Cooper : John Alden . Alden was a 21 - year - old from Harwich in Essex and a distant relative of Captain Jones . He hired on apparently while the Mayflower was anchored at Southampton Waters . He was responsible for maintaining the ship 's barrels , known as hogsheads , which were critical to the passengers ' survival and held the only source of food and drink while at sea ; tending them was a job which required a crew member 's attention . Bradford noted that Alden was `` left to his own liking to go or stay '' in Plymouth rather than return with the ship to England . He decided to remain . Quartermaster : ( names unknown ) , 4 men . These men were in charge of maintaining the ship 's cargo hold , as well as the crew 's hours for standing watch . Some of the `` before the mast '' crewmen may also have been in this section . These quartermasters were also responsible for fishing and maintaining all fishing supplies and harpoons . The names of the quartermasters are unknown , but it is known that three of the four men died the first winter . Cook : ( name unknown ) . He was responsible for preparing the crew 's meals and maintaining all food supplies and the cook room , which was typically located in the ship 's forecastle ( front end ) . The unnamed cook died the first winter . Master Gunner : ( name unknown ) . He was in charge of the ship 's guns , ammunition , and powder . Some of those `` before the mast '' were likely in his charge . He is recorded as going on an exploration on December 6 , 1620 , and was `` sick unto death and so remained all that day , and the next night '' . He died later that winter . Boatswain : ( name unknown ) . He was the person in charge of the ship 's rigging and sails , the anchors , and the ship 's longboat . The majority of the crew members `` before the mast '' were most likely under his supervision , working the sails and rigging . The operation of the ship 's shallop was also probably under his control , a light open boat with oars or sails ( see seaman Thomas English ) . William Bradford made this comment about the boatswain : `` the boatswain ... was a proud young man , who would often curse and scoff at the passengers , but when he grew weak they had compassion on him and helped him . '' But despite such assistance , the unnamed boatswain died the first winter . Carpenter : ( name unknown ) . He was responsible for making sure that the hull was well - caulked and the masts were in good order . He was the person responsible for maintaining all areas of the ship in good condition and being a general repairman . He also maintained the tools and all necessary items to perform his carpentry tasks . His name is unknown , but his tasks were quite important to the safety and seaworthiness of the ship . Swabber : ( various crewmen ) . This was the lowliest position on the ship , responsible for cleaning ( swabbing ) the decks . The swabber usually had an assistant who was responsible for cleaning the ship 's beakhead ( extreme front end ) , which was also the crew 's toilet . Known Mayflower seamen John Allerton : A Mayflower seaman who was hired by the company as labor to help in the Colony during the first year , then to return to Leiden to help other church members seeking to travel to America . He signed the Mayflower Compact . He was a seaman on ship 's shallop with Thomas English on exploration of December 6 , 1620 , and died sometime before the Mayflower returned to England in April 1621 . ____ Ely : A Mayflower seaman who was contracted to stay for a year , which he did . He returned to England with fellow crewman William Trevor on the Fortune in December 1621 . Genealogist Dr. Jeremy Bangs believes that his name was either John or Christopher Ely ( or Ellis ) , both of whom are documented in Leiden , Holland . Thomas English : A Mayflower seaman who was hired to be the master of the shallop ( see Boatswain ) and to be part of the company . He signed the Mayflower Compact . He was a seaman on the ship 's shallop with John Allerton on exploration of December 6 , 1620 , and died sometime before the departure of the Mayflower for England in April 1621 . He appeared in Leiden records as `` Thomas England '' . William Trevore ( Trevor ) : A Mayflower seaman who was hired to remain in Plymouth for one year . One reason for his hiring was his prior New World experience . He was one of those seamen to crew the shallop used in coastal trading . He returned to England with _____ Ely and others on the Fortune in December 1621 . In 1623 , Robert Cushman noted that Trevor reported to the Adventurers about what he saw in the New World . He did at some time return as master of a ship and was recorded living in Massachusetts Bay Colony in April 1650 . Unidentified passenger `` Master '' Leaver : Another passenger not mentioned by Bradford is a person called `` Master '' Leaver . He was named in Mourt 's Relation , London 1622 , under a date of January 12 , 1621 as a leader of an expedition to rescue Pilgrims lost in the forest for several days while searching for housing - roof thatch . It is unknown in what capacity he came to the Mayflower and his given name is unknown . The title of `` Master '' indicates that he was a person of some authority and prominence in the company . He may have been a principal officer of the Mayflower . No more is known of him ; he may have returned to England on the Mayflower 's April 1621 voyage or died of the illnesses that affected so many that first winter . Later history Three of Mayflower 's owners applied to the Admiralty court for an appraisal of the ship on May 4 , 1624 , two years after Captain Jones ' death in 1622 ; one of these applicants was Jones ' widow Mrs. Josian ( Joan ) Jones . This appraisal probably was made to determine the valuation of the ship for the purpose of settling the estate of its late master . The appraisal was made by four mariners and shipwrights of Rotherhithe , home and burial place of Captain Jones , where the Mayflower was apparently then lying in the Thames at London . The appraisement is extant and provides information on ship 's gear on board at that time , as well as equipment such as muskets and other arms . The ship may have been laid up since Jones ' death and allowed to get out of repair , as that is what the appraisal indicates . The vessel was valued at one hundred and twenty - eight pounds , eight shillings , and fourpence . What finally became of the Mayflower is an unsettled issue . Charles Edward Banks , an English historian of the Pilgrim ship , claims that the ship was finally broken up , with her timbers used in the construction of a barn at Jordans village in Buckinghamshire . Tradition claims that this barn still exists as the Mayflower Barn , located within the grounds of Old Jordan in South Buckinghamshire . In 1624 , Thomas Russell supposedly added to part of a farmhouse already there with timbers from a ship , believed to be from the Pilgrim ship Mayflower , bought from a shipbreaker 's yard in Rotherhithe . The well - preserved structure was a tourist attraction , receiving visitors each year from all over the world and particularly from America , but it is now privately owned and not open to the public . Second Mayflower Another ship called the Mayflower made a voyage from London to Plymouth Colony in 1629 carrying 35 passengers , many from the Pilgrim congregation in Leiden that organized the first voyage . This was not the same ship that made the original voyage with the first settlers . This voyage began in May and reached Plymouth in August . This ship also made the crossing from England to America in 1630 ( as part of the Winthrop Fleet ) , 1633 , 1634 , and 1639 . It attempted the trip again in 1641 , departing London in October of that year under master John Cole , with 140 passengers bound for Virginia . It never arrived . On October 18 , 1642 , a deposition was made in England regarding the loss . Place in history Edward Winslow 's home , now the Mayflower House Museum , Plymouth , Massachusetts ( 1754 ) The Pilgrim ship Mayflower has a famous place in American history as a symbol of early European colonization of the future United States . The main record for the voyage of the Mayflower and the disposition of the Plymouth Colony comes from the letters and journal of William Bradford , who was a guiding force and later the governor of the colony . The 400th anniversary of the Mayflower sailing will take place in 2020 . The Harwich Mayflower Project is hoping to build a replica of the ship at Harwich , England .

when did the mayflower first come to america
[ "The Mayflower was an English ship that famously transported the first English Puritans, known today as the Pilgrims, from Plymouth, England to the New World in 1620.[1] There were 102 passengers, and the crew is estimated to have been about 30, but the exact number is unknown.[2] This voyage has become an iconic story in some of the earliest annals of American history, with its story of death and of survival in the harsh New England winter environment. The culmination of the voyage in the signing of the Mayflower Compact was an event which established a rudimentary form of democracy, with each member contributing to the welfare of the community.[3] There was a second ship named Mayflower that made the London to Plymouth, Massachusetts voyage several times." ]

It serves the neighbourhood of Tirusulam , a suburb of Chennai where the city 's airport is located . It is located at a distance of 21 km from Chennai Beach terminus and is situated on the GST Road across the airport , with an elevation of 20 m above sea level . Contents ( hide ) 1 History 2 Layout 3 Developments 4 See also 5 References 6 External links History ( edit ) Tirusulam railway station ( southern side ) The station lies in the Chennai Beach -- Tambaram section of the Chennai Suburban Railway Network , the first suburban section of the city . With the completion of track - lying work in March 1931 , which began in 1928 , the suburban services were started on 11 May 1931 between Beach and Tambaram , and was electrified on 15 November 1931 , with the first MG EMU services running on 1.5 kV DC . The section was converted to 25 kV AC traction on 15 January 1967 . Layout ( edit ) Tirusulam railway station ( northern side ) The station has two suburban platforms and another island platform for long - distance mainline trains . Since mainline trains do not halt at the station , the island platform remains unused . The platform is 280 m long and has been considered to be extended to 575 m as there are plans to halt long - distance trains at the station . Developments ( edit ) The station is connected to the Chennai airport by means of a subway . Despite being situated at the entrance of the airport , the station does not cater to the needs of the air travellers due to the lack of proper approach corridors and other facilities . With the modernisation of Chennai Airport in 2012 , several renovation processes are underway in the station . There are also plans to connect the station with the Metro Rail station at the airport .

The country is situated north of the equator between 8 ° 4 ' to 37 ° 6 ' north latitude and 68 ° 7 ' to 97 ° 25 ' east longitude . It is the seventh - largest country in the world , with a total area of 3,287,469 square kilometres ( 1,269,299 sq mi ) . India measures 3,214 km ( 1,997 mi ) from north to south and 2,933 km ( 1,822 mi ) from east to west . It has a land frontier of 15,106.7 km ( 9,387 mi ) and a coastline of 7,516.6 km ( 4,671 mi ) . On the south , India projects into and is bounded by the Indian Ocean -- - in particular , by the Arabian Sea on the west , the Lakshadweep Sea to the southwest , the Bay of Bengal on the east , and the Indian Ocean proper to the South . The Palk Strait and Gulf of Mannar separate India from Sri Lanka to its immediate southeast , and the Maldives are some 125 kilometres ( 78 mi ) to the south of India 's Lakshadweep Islands across the Eight Degree Channel . India 's Andaman and Nicobar Islands , some 1,200 kilometres ( 750 mi ) southeast of the mainland , share maritime borders with Myanmar , Thailand and Indonesia . Kanyakumari at 8 ° 4 ′ 41 '' N and 77 ° 55 ′ 230 '' E is the southernmost tip of the Indian mainland , while the southernmost point in India is Indira Point on Great Nicobar Island . Northernmost point which is under Indian administration is Indira Col , Siachen Glacier . India 's territorial waters extend into the sea to a distance of 12 nautical miles ( 13.8 mi ; 22.2 km ) from the coast baseline . The northern frontiers of India are defined largely by the Himalayan mountain range , where the country borders China , Bhutan , and Nepal . Its western border with Pakistan lies in the Karakoram range , Punjab Plains , the Thar Desert and the Rann of Kutch salt marshes . In the far northeast , the Chin Hills and Kachin Hills , deeply forested mountainous regions , separate India from Burma . On the east , its border with Bangladesh is largely defined by the Khasi Hills and Mizo Hills , and the watershed region of the Indo - Gangetic Plain . The Ganga is the longest river originating in India . The Ganga -- Brahmaputra system occupies most of northern , central , and eastern India , while the Deccan Plateau occupies most of southern India . Kanchanjhunga , in the Indian state of Sikkim , is the highest point in India at 8,586 m ( 28,169 ft ) and the world 's 3rd highest peak . Climate across India ranges from equatorial in the far south , to alpine and tundra in the upper reaches of the Himalayas . the geographic view of India is pretty expository and vivid in the terms of area , mountains and relief .

The Indo - Australian plate is subdivided into the Indian and Australian plates . About 90 million years ago , during the late Cretaceous Period , the Indian Plate began moving north at about 15 cm / year ( 6 in / yr ) . About 50 to 55 million years ago , in the Eocene Epoch of the Cenozoic Era , the plate collided with Asia after covering a distance of 2,000 to 3,000 km ( 1,243 to 1,864 mi ) , having moved faster than any other known plate . In 2007 , German geologists determined that the Indian Plate was able to move so quickly because it is only half as thick as the other plates which formerly constituted Gondwanaland . The collision with the Eurasian Plate along the modern border between India and Nepal formed the orogenic belt that created the Tibetan Plateau and the Himalayas . As of 2009 , the Indian Plate is moving northeast at 5 cm / yr ( 2 in / yr ) , while the Eurasian Plate is moving north at only 2 cm / yr ( 0.8 in / yr ) . India is thus referred to as the `` fastest continent '' . This is causing the Eurasian Plate to deform , and the Indian Plate to compress at a rate of 4 cm / yr ( 1.6 in / yr ) . Political Geography ( edit ) Main article : States and territories of India India is divided into 29 states ( further subdivided into districts ) and 6 union territories and 1 National capital territory ( I.e. , Delhi ) . Indian Kashmir , LoC and LAC India 's borders run a total length of 15,106.70 km ( 9,386.87 mi ) . Its borders with Pakistan and Bangladesh were delineated according to the Radcliffe Line , which was created in 1947 during Partition of India . Its western border with Pakistan extends up to 3,323 km ( 2,065 mi ) , dividing the Punjab region and running along the boundaries of the Thar Desert and the Rann of Kutch . This border runs along the Indian states of Jammu & Kashmir , Rajasthan , Gujarat , and Punjab . Both nations delineated a Line of Control ( LoC ) to serve as the informal boundary between the Indian and Pakistan - administered areas of Kashmir . According to India 's claim , it also shares a 106 km ( 66 mi ) border with Afghanistan in northwestern Kashmir , which is under Pakistani control . India 's border with Bangladesh runs 4,096.70 km ( 2,545.57 mi ) . West Bengal , Assam , Meghalaya , Tripura and Mizoram are the States which share the border with Bangladesh . Before 2015 , there were 92 enclaves of Bangladesh on Indian soil and 106 enclaves of India were on Bangladeshi soil . These enclaves were eventually exchanged in order to simplify the border . After the exchange , India lost roughly 40 km2 ( 10,000 acres ) to Bangladesh . The Line of Actual Control ( LAC ) is the effective border between India and the People 's Republic of China . It traverses 4,057 km along the Indian states of Jammu and Kashmir , Uttarakhand , Himachal Pradesh , Sikkim and Arunachal Pradesh . The border with Burma ( Myanmar ) extends up to 1,643 km ( 1,021 mi ) along the southern borders of India 's northeastern states viz . Arunachal Pradesh , Nagaland , Manipur and Mizoram . Located amidst the Himalayan range , India 's border with Bhutan runs 699 km ( 434 mi ) . Sikkim , West Bengal , Assam and Arunachal Pradesh are the States , which share the border with Bhutan . The border with Nepal runs 1,751 km ( 1,088 mi ) along the foothills of the Himalayas in northern India . Uttarakhand , Uttar Pradesh , Bihar , West Bengal and Sikkim are the States , which share the border with Nepal . The Siliguri Corridor , narrowed sharply by the borders of Bhutan , Nepal and Bangladesh , connects peninsular India with the northeastern states . Physiographic regions ( edit ) Topography map India can be divided into six physiographic regions . They are : Northern Mountains Peninsular Plateau Indo - Gangetic Plain Thar Desert Coastal Plains Islands The northern mountains ( edit ) Snow leopard at Hemis National Park , Jammu and Kashmir A great arc of mountains , consisting of the Himalayas of Nepal , Hindu Kush , and Patkai ranges define the northern Indian subcontinent . These were formed by the ongoing tectonic plates collision of the Indian and Eurasian plates . The mountains in these ranges include some of the world 's tallest mountains which act as a colourfull barrier to cold polar winds . They also facilitate the monsoon winds which in turn influence the climate in India . Rivers originating in these mountains flow through the fertile Indo -- Gangetic plains . These mountains are recognised by biogeographers as the boundary between two of the Earth 's great ecozones : the temperate Palearctic that covers most of Eurasia and the tropical and subtropical Indomalaya ecozone which includes the Indian subcontinent , Southeast Asia and Indonesia . The Kedar Range of the Greater Himalayas rises behind Kedarnath Temple ( Indian state of Uttarakhand ) , which is one of the twelve jyotirlinga shrines . The Himalayan range is the world 's highest mountain range , with its tallest peak Mt . Everest ( 8,848 metres ( 29,029 ft ) ) on the Nepal -- China border . They form India 's northeastern border , separating it from northeastern Asia . They are one of the world 's youngest mountain ranges and extend almost uninterrupted for 2,500 km ( 1,600 mi ) , covering an area of 500,000 km ( 190,000 sq mi ) . The Himalayas extend from Jammu and Kashmir in the north to Arunachal Pradesh in the east . These states along with Himachal Pradesh , Uttarakhand , and Sikkim lie mostly in the Himalayan region . Numerous Himalayan peaks rise over 7,000 m ( 23,000 ft ) and the snow line ranges between 6,000 m ( 20,000 ft ) in Sikkim to around 3,000 m ( 9,800 ft ) in Kashmir . Kanchenjunga -- on the Sikkim -- Nepal border -- is the highest point in the area administered by India . Most peaks in the Himalayas remain snowbound throughout the year . The Himalayas act as a barrier to the frigid katabatic winds flowing down from Central Asia . Thus , North India is kept warm or only mildly cooled during winter ; in summer , the same phenomenon makes India relatively hot . Kangchenjunga Kangchenjunga , the third highest mountain in the world , near the Zemu Glacier in Sikkim , India . The Karakoram is situated in the disputed state of Jammu and Kashmir . It has more than sixty peaks above 7,000 m ( 23,000 ft ) , including K2 , the second highest peak in the world 8,611 m ( 28,251 ft ) . K2 is just 237 m ( 778 ft ) smaller than the 8,848 m ( 29,029 ft ) Mount Everest . The range is about 500 km ( 310 mi ) in length and the most heavily glaciated part of the world outside of the polar regions . The Siachen Glacier at 76 km ( 47 mi ) and the Biafo Glacier at 67 km ( 42 mi ) rank as the world 's second and third - longest glaciers outside the polar regions . Just to the west of the northwest end of the Karakoram , lies the Hindu Raj range , beyond which is the Hindu Kush range . The southern boundary of the Karakoram is formed by the Gilgit , Indus and Shyok rivers , which separate the range from the northwestern end of the Himalayas . The Patkai , or Purvanchal , are situated near India 's eastern border with Burma . They were created by the same tectonic processes which led to the formation of the Himalayas . The physical features of the Patkai mountains are conical peaks , steep slopes and deep valleys . The Patkai ranges are not as rugged or tall as the Himalayas . There are three hill ranges that come under the Patkai : the Patkai -- Bum , the Garo -- Khasi -- Jaintia and the Lushai hills . The Garo -- Khasi range lies in Meghalaya . Mawsynram , a village near Cherrapunji lying on the windward side of these hills , has the distinction of being the wettest place in the world , receiving the highest annual rainfall . The Vindhyas in central India The peninsular plateau ( edit ) The Vindhya range runs across most of central India , extending 1,050 km ( 650 mi ) . The average elevation of these hills is from 300 to 600 m ( 980 to 1,970 ft ) and rarely goes above 700 metres ( 2,300 ft ) . They are believed to have been formed by the wastes created by the weathering of the ancient Aravali mountains . Geographically , it separates Northern India from Southern India . The western end of the range lies in eastern Gujarat , near its border with Madhya Pradesh , and runs east and north , almost meeting the Ganges at Mirzapur Dry deciduous and thorny forests of plateau regions in India The Malwa Plateau is spread across Rajasthan , Madhya Pradesh and Gujarat . The average elevation of the Malwa plateau is 500 metres , and the landscape generally slopes towards the north . Most of the region is drained by the Chambal River and its tributaries ; the western part is drained by the upper reaches of the Mahi River . Kutch Kathiawar plateau Kutch Kathiawar plateau is located in Gujarat state . The Deccan Plateau is a large triangular plateau , bounded by the Vindhyas to the north and flanked by the Eastern and Western Ghats . The Deccan covers a total area of 1.9 million km2 ( 735,000 mile2 ) . It is mostly flat , with elevations ranging from 300 to 600 m ( 980 to 1,970 ft ) . The average elevation of the plateau is 2,000 feet ( 610 m ) above sea level . The surface slopes from 3,000 feet ( 910 m ) in the west to 1,500 feet ( 460 m ) in the east . It slopes gently from west to east and gives rise to several peninsular rivers such as the Godavari , the Krishna , the Kaveri and the Mahanadi which drain into the Bay of Bengal . This region is mostly semi-arid as it lies on the leeward side of both Ghats . Much of the Deccan is covered by thorn scrub forest scattered with small regions of deciduous broadleaf forest . Climate in the Deccan ranges from hot summers to mild winters . The Chota Nagpur Plateau is situated in eastern India , covering much of Jharkhand and adjacent parts of Odisha , Bihar and Chhattisgarh . Its total area is approximately 65,000 km ( 25,000 sq mi ) and is made up of three smaller plateaus -- the Ranchi , Hazaribagh , and Kodarma plateaus . The Ranchi plateau is the largest , with an average elevation of 700 m ( 2,300 ft ) . Much of the plateau is forested , covered by the Chota Nagpur dry deciduous forests . Vast reserves of metal ores and coal have been found in the Chota Nagpur plateau . The Kathiawar peninsula in western Gujarat is bounded by the Gulf of Kutch and the Gulf of Khambat . The natural vegetation in most of the peninsula is xeric scrub , part of the Northwestern thorn scrub forests ecoregion . The Satpura Range begins in eastern Gujarat near the Arabian Sea coast and runs east across Maharashtra , Madhya Pradesh and Chhattisgarh . It extends 900 km ( 560 mi ) with many peaks rising above 1,000 m ( 3,300 ft ) . It is triangular in shape , with its apex at Ratnapuri and the two sides being parallel to the Tapti and Narmada rivers . It runs parallel to the Vindhya Range , which lies to the north , and these two east - west ranges divide the Indo -- Gangetic plain from the Deccan Plateau located north of River Narmada . The Aravali Range is the oldest mountain range in India , running across Rajasthan from northeast to southwest direction , extending approximately 800 km ( 500 mi ) . The northern end of the range continues as isolated hills and rocky ridges into Haryana , ending near Delhi . The highest peak in this range is Guru Shikhar at Mount Abu , rising to 1,722 m ( 5,650 ft ) , lying near the border with Gujarat . The Aravali Range is the eroded stub of an ancient fold mountain system . The range rose in a Precambrian event called the Aravali -- Delhi orogen . The range joins two of the ancient segments that make up the Indian craton , the Marwar segment to the northwest of the range , and the Bundelkhand segment to the southeast . The Western Ghats or Sahyadri mountains run along the western edge of India 's Deccan Plateau and separate it from a narrow coastal plain along the Arabian Sea . The range runs approximately 1,600 km ( 990 mi ) from south of the Tapti River near the Gujarat -- Maharashtra border and across Maharashtra , Goa , Karnataka , Kerala and Tamil Nadu to the southern tip of the Deccan peninsula . The average elevation is around 1,000 m ( 3,300 ft ) . Anai Mudi in the Anaimalai Hills 2,695 m ( 8,842 ft ) in Kerala is the highest peak in the Western Ghats . Western Ghats near Matheran Kolli Hills of the Eastern Ghats , Tamil Nadu The Eastern Ghats are a discontinuous range of mountains , which have been eroded and quadrisected by the four major rivers of southern India , the Godavari , Mahanadi , Krishna , and Kaveri . These mountains extend from West Bengal to Odisha , Andhra Pradesh and Tamil Nadu , along the coast and parallel to the Bay of Bengal . Though not as tall as the Western Ghats , some of its peaks are over 1,000 m ( 3,300 ft ) in height . The Nilgiri hills in Tamil Nadu lies at the junction of the Eastern and Western Ghats . Arma Konda ( 1,680 m ( 5,510 ft ) ) in Andhra Pradesh is the tallest peak in Eastern Ghats . Dry Evergreen Forests along the Eastern Ghats , Andhra Pradesh Indo - Gangetic Plain ( edit ) Extent of the Indo - Gangetic plain across South Asia Many areas remain flooded during the heavy rains brought by monsoon in the Indian state of West Bengal . Main article : Indo - Gangetic plain The Indo - Gangetic plains , also known as the Great Plains are large alluvial plains dominated by three main rivers , the Indus , Ganges , and Brahmaputra . They run parallel to the Himalayas , from Jammu and Kashmir in the west to Assam in the east , and drain most of northern and eastern India . The plains encompass an area of 700,000 km ( 270,000 sq mi ) . The major rivers in this region are the Ganges , Indus , and Brahmaputra along with their main tributaries -- Yamuna , Chambal , Gomti , Ghaghara , Kosi , Sutlej , Ravi , Beas , Chenab , and Tista -- as well as the rivers of the Ganges Delta , such as the Meghna . The great plains are sometimes classified into four divisions : The Bhabar belt is adjacent to the foothills of the Himalayas and consists of boulders and pebbles which have been carried down by streams . As the porosity of this belt is very high , the streams flow underground . The Bhabar is generally narrow with its width varying between 6 to 15 km ( 3.7 to 9.3 mi ) . The Tarai belt lies south of the adjacent Bhabar region and is composed of newer alluvium . The underground streams reappear in this region . The region is excessively moist and thickly forested . It also receives heavy rainfall throughout the year and is populated with a variety of wildlife . The Bangar belt consists of older alluvium and forms the alluvial terrace of the flood plains . In the Gangetic plains , it has a low upland covered by laterite deposits . The Khadar belt lies in lowland areas after the Bangar belt . It is made up of fresh newer alluvium which is deposited by the rivers flowing down the plain . The Indo - Gangetic belt is the world 's most extensive expanse of uninterrupted alluvium formed by the deposition of silt by the numerous rivers . The plains are flat making it conducive for irrigation through canals . The area is also rich in ground water sources. The plains are one of the world 's most intensely farmed areas . The main crops grown are rice and wheat , which are grown in rotation . Other important crops grown in the region include maize , sugarcane and cotton . The Indo - Gangetic plains rank among the world 's most densely populated areas . Thar Desert ( edit ) Thar desert , Rajasthan Main article : Thar Desert The Thar Desert ( also known as the deserts ) is by some calculations the world 's seventh largest desert , by some others the tenth . It forms a significant portion of western India and covers an area of 200,000 to 238,700 km ( 77,200 to 92,200 sq mi ) . The desert continues into Pakistan as the Cholistan Desert . Most of the Thar Desert is situated in Rajasthan , covering 61 % of its geographic area . About 10 percent of this region comprises sand dunes , and the remaining 90 percent consist of craggy rock forms , compacted salt - lake bottoms , and interdunal and fixed dune areas . Annual temperatures can range from 0 ° C ( 32 ° F ) in the winter to over 50 ° C ( 122 ° F ) during the summer . Most of the rainfall received in this region is associated with the short July -- September southwest monsoon that brings 100 to 500 mm ( 3.9 to 19.7 in ) of precipitation . Water is scarce and occurs at great depths , ranging from 30 to 120 metres ( 98 to 394 ft ) below the ground level . Rainfall is precarious and erratic , ranging from below 120 mm ( 4.7 in ) in the extreme west to 375 mm ( 14.8 in ) eastward. The only river in this region is Luni . The soils of the arid region are generally sandy to sandy - loam in texture . The consistency and depth vary as per the topographical features . The low - lying loams are heavier may have a hard pan of clay , calcium carbonate or gypsum . In western India , the Kutch region in Gujarat and Koyna in Maharashtra are classified as a Zone IV region ( high risk ) for earthquakes . The Kutch city of Bhuj was the epicentre of the 2001 Gujarat earthquake , which claimed the lives of more than 1,337 people and injured 166,836 while destroying or damaging near a million homes . The 1993 Latur earthquake in Maharashtra killed 7,928 people and injured 30,000 . Other areas have a moderate to low risk of an earthquake occurring . Coasts ( edit ) Visakhapatnam beach view , Bay of Bengal , Andhra Pradesh ( The Eastern Coastal Plain is a wide stretch of land lying between the Eastern Ghats and the oceanic boundary of India . It stretches from Tamil Nadu in the south to West Bengal in the east . The Mahanadi , Godavari , Kaveri , and Krishna rivers drain these plains . The temperature in the coastal regions often exceeds 30 ° C ( 86 ° F ) , and is coupled with high levels of humidity . The region receives both the northeast monsoon and southwest monsoon rains . ) The southwest monsoon splits into two branches , the Bay of Bengal branch and the Arabian Sea branch . ( The Bay of Bengal branch moves northwards crossing northeast India in early June . The Arabian Sea branch moves northwards and discharges much of its rain on the windward side of Western Ghats . Annual rainfall in this region averages between 1,000 and 3,000 mm ( 39 and 118 in ) . The width of the plains varies between 100 and 130 km ( 62 and 81 mi ) . The plains are divided into six regions -- the Mahanadi delta , the southern Andhra Pradesh plain , the Krishna - Godavari deltas , the Kanyakumari coast , the Coromandel Coast , and sandy coastal ) . The Western Coastal Plain is a narrow strip of land sandwiched between the Western Ghats and the Arabian Sea , ranging from 50 to 100 km ( 31 to 62 mi ) in width . It extends from Gujarat in the north and extends through Maharashtra , Goa , Karnataka , and Kerala . Numerous rivers and backwaters inundate the region . Mostly originating in the Western Ghats , the rivers are fast - flowing , usually perennial , and empty into estuaries . Major rivers flowing into the sea are the Tapi , Narmada , Mandovi and Zuari . Vegetation is mostly deciduous , but the Malabar Coast moist forests constitute a unique ecoregion . The Western Coastal Plain can be divided into two parts , the Konkan and the Malabar Coast . Varkala beach on Kerala 's coast , Arabian Sea Islands ( edit ) Aerial view of the Andaman Islands See also : List of islands of India ( The Lakshadweep and the Andaman and Nicobar Islands are India 's two major island formations and are classified as union territories . The Lakshadweep Islands lie 200 to 440 km ( 120 to 270 mi ) off the coast of Kerala in the Arabian sea with an area of 32 km ( 12 sq mi ) . They consist of twelve atolls , three reefs , and five submerged banks , with a total of about 35 islands and islets . ) ( The Andaman and Nicobar Islands are located between 6 ° and 14 ° north latitude and 92 ° and 94 ° east longitude . They consist of 572 islands , lying in the Bay of Bengal near the Myanma coast running in a North - South axis for approximately 910 km . They are located 1,255 km ( 780 mi ) from Kolkata ( Calcutta ) and 193 km ( 120 mi ) from Cape Negrais in Burma . The territory consists of two island groups , the Andaman Islands and the Nicobar Islands . The Andaman and Nicobar Islands consist of 572 islands which run in a North - South axis for around 910 km . The Andaman group has 325 islands which cover an area of 6,170 km2 ( 2,382 sq mi ) while the Nicobar group has only 247 islands with an area of 1,765 km2 ( 681 sq mi ) . India 's only active volcano , Barren Island is situated here . It last erupted in 2017 . The Narcondum is a dormant volcano and there is a mud volcano at Baratang . Indira Point , India 's southernmost land point , is situated in the Nicobar islands at 6 ° 45'10 '' N and 93 ° 49'36 '' E , and lies just 189 km ( 117 mi ) from the Indonesian island of Sumatra , to the southeast . The highest point is Mount Thullier at 642 m ( 2,106 ft ) . Other significant islands in India include Diu , a former Portuguese colony ; Majuli , a river island of the Brahmaputra ; Elephanta in Bombay Harbour ; and Sriharikota , a barrier island in Andhra Pradesh . Salsette Island is India 's most populous island on which the city of Mumbai ( Bombay ) is located . Forty - two islands in the Gulf of Kutch constitute the Marine National Park . Bodies of water ( edit ) Main article : Rivers of India India has around 14,500 km of inland navigable waterways . There are twelve rivers which are classified as major rivers , with the total catchment area exceeding 2,528,000 km ( 976,000 sq mi ) . All major rivers of India originate from one of the three main watersheds : The Himalaya and the Karakoram ranges Vindhya and Satpura range in central India Sahyadri or Western Ghats in western India The Himalayan river networks are snow - fed and have a perennial supply throughout the year . The other two river systems are dependent on the monsoons and shrink into rivulets during the dry season . The Himalayan rivers that flow westward into Punjab are the Indus , Jhelum , Chenab , Ravi , Beas , and Sutlej . Bhagirathi River at Gangotri , source river of the Ganges National Highway 31A winds along the banks of the Teesta River near Kalimpong ( West Bengal ) , in the Darjeeling Himalayan hill region . ( The Ganges - Brahmaputra - Meghana system has the largest catchment area of about 1,600,000 km ( 620,000 sq mi ) . The Ganges Basin alone has a catchment of about 1,100,000 km ( 420,000 sq mi ) . The Ganges originates from the Gangotri Glacier in Uttarakhand . It flows southeast , draining into the Bay of Bengal ) . ( The Yamuna and Gomti rivers also arise in the western Himalayas and join the Ganges in the plains . The Brahmaputra originates in Tibet , China , where it is known as the Yarlung Tsangpo River ) ( or `` Tsangpo '' ) . It enters India in the far - eastern state of Arunachal Pradesh , then flows west through Assam . The Brahmaputra merges with the Ganges in Bangladesh , where it is known as the Jamuna River . The Chambal , another tributary of the Ganges , via the Yamuna , originates from the Vindhya - Satpura watershed . The river flows eastward . Westward - flowing rivers from this watershed are the Narmada and Tapti , which drain into the Arabian Sea in Gujarat . The river network that flows from east to west constitutes 10 % of the total outflow . The Godavari River at Papi Hills ( The Western Ghats are the source of all Deccan rivers , which include the through Godavari River , Krishna River and Kaveri River , all draining into the Bay of Bengal . These rivers constitute 20 % of India 's total outflow ) . The heavy southwest monsoon rains cause the Brahmaputra and other rivers to distend their banks , often flooding surrounding areas . Though they provide rice paddy farmers with a largely dependable source of natural irrigation and fertilisation , such floods have killed thousands of people and tend to cause displacements of people in such areas . Major gulfs include the Gulf of Cambay , Gulf of Kutch , and the Gulf of Mannar . Straits include the Palk Strait , which separates India from Sri Lanka ; the Ten Degree Channel , which separates the Andamans from the Nicobar Islands ; ' and the Eight Degree Channel , which separates the Laccadive and Amindivi Islands from the Minicoy Island to the south . Important capes include the Kanyakumari ( formerly called Cape Comorin ) , the southern tip of mainland India ; Indira Point , the southernmost point in India ( on Great Nicobar Island ) ; Rama 's Bridge , and Point Calimere . The Arabian Sea lies to the west of India , the Bay of Bengal and the Indian Ocean lie to the east and south , respectively . Smaller seas include the Laccadive Sea and the Andaman Sea . There are four coral reefs in India , located in the Andaman and Nicobar Islands , the Gulf of Mannar , Lakshadweep , and the Gulf of Kutch . Important lakes include Sambhar Lake , the country 's largest saltwater lake in Rajasthan , Vembanad Lake in Kerala , Kolleru Lake in Andhra Pradesh , Loktak Lake in Manipur , Dal Lake in Kashmir , Chilka Lake ( lagoon lake ) in Orrisa , and Sasthamkotta Lake in Kerala . Wetlands ( edit ) A map of the Indian Sunderbans in West Bengal Pichavaram Mangroves , Tamil Nadu India 's wetland ecosystem is widely distributed from the cold and arid located in the Ladakh region of Jammu and Kashmir , and those with the wet and humid climate of peninsular India . Most of the wetlands are directly or indirectly linked to river networks . The Indian government has identified a total of 71 wetlands for conservation and are part of sanctuaries and national parks . Mangrove forests are present all along the Indian coastline in sheltered estuaries , creeks , backwaters , salt marshes and mudflats . The mangrove area covers a total of 4,461 km ( 1,722 sq mi ) , which comprises 7 % of the world 's total mangrove cover . Prominent mangrove covers are located in the Andaman and Nicobar Islands , the Sundarbans delta , the Gulf of Kutch and the deltas of the Mahanadi , Godavari and Krishna rivers . Parts of Maharashtra , Karnataka and Kerala also have large mangrove covers . The Sundarbans delta is home to the largest mangrove forest in the world . It lies at the mouth of the Ganges and spreads across areas of Bangladesh and West Bengal . The Sundarbans is a UNESCO World Heritage Site , but is identified separately as the Sundarbans ( Bangladesh ) and the Sundarbans National Park ( India ) . The Sundarbans are intersected by a complex network of tidal waterways , mudflats and small islands of salt - tolerant mangrove forests . The area is known for its diverse fauna , being home to a large variety of species of birds , spotted deer , crocodiles and snakes . Its most famous inhabitant is the Bengal tiger . It is estimated that there are now 400 Bengal tigers and about 30,000 spotted deer in the area . The Rann of Kutch is a marshy region located in northwestern Gujarat and the bordering Sindh province of Pakistan . It occupies a total area of 27,900 km ( 10,800 sq mi ) . The region was originally a part of the Arabian Sea . Geologic forces such as earthquakes resulted in the damming up of the region , turning it into a large saltwater lagoon . This area gradually filled with silt thus turning it into a seasonal salt marsh . During the monsoons , the area turn into a shallow marsh , often flooding to knee - depth . After the monsoons , the region turns dry and becomes parched . Climate ( edit ) India 's Köppen climate classification map is based on native vegetation , temperature , precipitation and their seasonality . Main articles : Climate of India and Climatic regions of India Based on the Köppen system , India hosts six major climatic subtypes , ranging from arid desert in the west , alpine tundra and glaciers in the north , and humid tropical regions supporting rainforests in the southwest and the island territories . The nation has four seasons : winter ( January -- February ) , summer ( March -- May ) , a monsoon ( rainy ) season ( June -- September ) and a post-monsoon period ( October -- December ) ' . The Himalayas act as a barrier to the frigid katabatic winds flowing down from Central Asia . ' Thus , North India is kept warm or only mildly cooled during winter ; in summer , the same phenomenon makes India relatively hot . Although the Tropic of Cancer -- the boundary between the tropics and subtropics -- passes through the middle of India , the whole country is considered to be tropical . Temperature averages in India ; units are in degree Celsius Summer lasts between March and June in most parts of India . Temperatures can exceed 40 ° C ( 104 ° F ) during the day . The coastal regions exceed 30 ° C ( 86 ° F ) coupled with high levels of humidity . In the Thar desert area temperatures can exceed 45 ° C ( 113 ° F ) . The rain - bearing monsoon clouds are attracted to the low - pressure system created by the Thar Desert . The southwest monsoon splits into two arms , the Bay of Bengal arm and the Arabian Sea arm . The Bay of Bengal arm moves northwards crossing northeast India in early June . The Arabian Sea arm moves northwards and deposits much of its rain on the windward side of Western Ghats . Winters in peninsula India see mild to warm days and cool nights . Further north the temperature is cooler . Temperatures in some parts of the Indian plains sometimes fall below freezing . Most of northern India is plagued by fog during this season . The highest temperature recorded in India was 51 ° C ( 124 ° F ) in Phalodi , Rajasthan . The lowest was − 45 ° C ( − 49 ° F ) in Kashmir . Geology ( edit ) Main article : Geology of India Eparchaean Unconformity of Detrital rocks of Tirumala Hills , Eastern Ghats India 's geological features are classified based on their era of formation . The Precambrian formations of Cudappah and Vindhyan systems are spread out over the eastern and southern states . A small part of this period is spread over western and central India . The Paleozoic formations from the Cambrian , Ordovician , Silurian and Devonian system are found in the Western Himalaya region in Kashmir and Himachal Pradesh . The Mesozoic Deccan Traps formation is seen over most of the northern Deccan ; they are believed to be the result of sub-aerial volcanic activity . The Trap soil is black in colour and conducive to agriculture . The Carboniferous system , Permian System and Triassic systems are seen in the western Himalayas . The Jurassic system is seen in the western Himalayas and Rajasthan . Geological regions of India Tertiary imprints are seen in parts of Manipur , Nagaland , Arunachal Pradesh and along the Himalayan belt . The Cretaceous system is seen in central India in the Vindhyas and part of the Indo - Gangetic plains . The Gondowana system is seen in the Narmada River area in the Vindhyas and Satpuras . The Eocene system is seen in the western Himalayas and Assam . Oligocene formations are seen in Kutch and Assam . The Pleistocene system is found over central India . The Andaman and Nicobar Island are thought to have been formed in this era by volcanoes . The Himalayas were formed by the convergence and deformation of the Indo - Australian and Eurasian Plates . Their continued convergence raises the height of the Himalayas by 1 cm each year . Soils in India can be classified into 8 categories : alluvial , black , red , laterite , forest , arid & desert , saline & alkaline and peaty & organic soils . Alluvial soil constitute the largest soil group in India , constituting 80 % of the total land surface . It is derived from the deposition of silt carried by rivers and are found in the Great Northern plains from Punjab to the Assam valley . Alluvial soil are generally fertile but they lack nitrogen and tend to be phosphoric . National Disaster Management Authority says that 60 % of Indian landmass is prone to earthquake and 8 % susceptible to cyclone risks . Black soil are well developed in the Deccan lava region of Maharashtra , Gujarat , and Madhya Pradesh . These contain high percentage of clay and are moisture retentive . Red soil are found in Tamil Nadu , Karnataka plateau , Andhra plateau , Chota Nagpur plateau and the Aravallis . These are deficient in nitrogen , phosphorus and humus . Laterite soils are formed in tropical regions with heavy rainfall . Heavy rainfall results in leaching out all soluble material of top layer of soil . These are generally found in Western ghats , Eastern ghats and hilly areas of northeastern states that receive heavy rainfall . Forest soils occur on the slopes of mountains and hills in Himalayas , Western Ghats and Eastern Ghats . These generally consist of large amounts of dead leaves and other organic matter called humus . Natural Resources ( edit ) Main article : Natural resources of India Indian coal production is the 3rd highest in the world according to the 2008 Indian Ministry of Mines estimates . Shown above is a coal mine in Jharkhand . India 's total renewable water resources are estimated at 1,907.8 km3 / year . Its annual supply of usable and replenshable groundwater amounts to 350 billion cubic metres . Only 35 % of groundwater resources are being utilised . About 44 million tonnes of cargo is moved annually through the country 's major rivers and waterways . Groundwater supplies 40 % of water in India 's irrigation canals. 56 % of the land is arable and used for agriculture . Black soils are moisture - retentive and are preferred for dry farming and growing cotton , linseed , etc . Forest soils are used for tea and coffee plantations . Red soil have a wide diffusion of iron content . Most of India 's estimated 5.4 billion barrels ( 860,000,000 m ) in oil reserves are located in the Mumbai High , upper Assam , Cambay , the Krishna - Godavari and Cauvery basins . India possesses about seventeen trillion cubic feet of natural gas in Andhra Pradesh , Gujarat and Odisha . Uranium is mined in Andhra Pradesh . India has 400 medium - to - high enthalpy thermal springs for producing geothermal energy in seven `` provinces '' -- the Himalayas , Sohana , Cambay , the Narmada - Tapti delta , the Godavari delta and the Andaman and Nicobar Islands ( specifically the volcanic Barren Island . ) India is the world 's biggest producer of mica blocks and mica splittings . India ranks second amongst the world 's largest producers of barite and chromite . The Pleistocene system is rich in minerals . India is the third - largest coal producer in the world and ranks fourth in the production of iron ore . It is the fifth - largest producer of bauxite , second largest of crude steel as of February 2018 replacing Japan , the seventh - largest of manganese ore and the eighth - largest of aluminium . India has significant sources of titanium ore , diamonds and limestone . India possesses 24 % of the world 's known and economically viable thorium , which is mined along shores of Kerala . Gold had been mined in the now - defunct Kolar Gold Fields in Karnataka . Antipodes ( edit ) The only land area antipodal to India is Easter Island , which is antipodal to the western corner of Rajasthan . The triangular island closely reflects the triangle between the cities of Mokal , Kuchchri , and Habur . Habur corresponds to Hanga Roa , and Mokal to the eastern cape .

The budget is the financial representation of the priorities of the government , reflecting historical debates and competing economic philosophies . The government primarily spends on healthcare , retirement , and defense programs . The non-partisan Congressional Budget Office provides extensive analysis of the budget and its economic effects . It has reported that the U.S. is facing a series of long - term financial challenges , as the country ages and healthcare costs continue growing faster than the economy .

Major expenditure categories are healthcare , Social Security , and defense ; income and payroll taxes are the primary revenue sources . CBO : Revenue and Expense as % GDP . Since 1970 , the U.S. had budget surpluses only from 1998 - 2001 , years budgeted by President Clinton . Deficits are projected to grow as a % GDP as the country ages and healthcare cost rise faster than the economy . U.S. federal budget deficits and surpluses 1967 - 2016 historical and 2017 - 2027 forecast . Deficits as a share of GDP are expected to rise as spending for Social Security , Medicare , and interest on the federal debt rise faster than revenue . CBO current law baseline as of January 2017 , showing forecast of deficit and debt by year . This is the baseline prior to any changes by President Trump . It is the financial position he `` inherited '' from President Obama . The budget document often begins as the President 's proposal to the U.S. Congress which recommends funding levels for the next fiscal year , beginning October 1 and ending on September 30 of the year following . The fiscal year is named for the year in which it ends . However , Congress is the body required by law to pass appropriations annually and to submit funding bills passed by both houses to the President for signature . Congressional decisions are governed by rules and legislation regarding the federal budget process . Budget committees set spending limits for the House and Senate committees and for Appropriations subcommittees , which then approve individual appropriations bills to allocate funding to various federal programs . If Congress fails to pass an annual budget , a series of Appropriations bills must be passed as `` stop gap '' measures . After Congress approves an appropriations bill , it is sent to the President , who may sign it into law , or may veto it . A vetoed bill is sent back to Congress , which can pass it into law with a two - thirds majority in each chamber . Congress may also combine all or some appropriations bills into an omnibus reconciliation bill . In addition , the president may request and the Congress may pass supplemental appropriations bills or emergency supplemental appropriations bills . Several government agencies provide budget data and analysis . These include the Government Accountability Office ( GAO ) , Congressional Budget Office , the Office of Management and Budget ( OMB ) and the U.S. Treasury Department . These agencies have reported that the federal government is facing a series of important long - run financing challenges , primarily driven by an aging population , rising interest payments , and spending for healthcare programs such as Medicare and Medicaid . During fiscal year 2017 , the Federal government received approximately $3.3 trillion in tax and fee revenue and had outlays ( spending ) of $4.0 trillion ; the difference was a $666 billion deficit , up $80 billion from 2016 . Measured as a percentage of gross domestic product ( a measure of the size of the economy ) , revenues were 17.3 % GDP , below the historical average ( 1980 -- 2015 ) of 17.4 % GDP . Outlays of 20.8 % GDP were slightly above the historical average of 20.6 % GDP . The deficit of 3.5 % GDP was above the historical average of 3.2 % GDP . After a significant increase primarily due to the Great Recession , the annual deficit returned to its historical average in fiscal year 2014 . During fiscal year 2016 , the Federal government received approximately $3.3 trillion in tax and fee revenue and had outlays ( spending ) of $3.9 trillion ; the difference was a $587 billion deficit . Measured as a percentage of gross domestic product ( a measure of the size of the economy ) , revenues were 17.8 % GDP , above the historical average ( 1980 -- 2015 ) of 17.4 % GDP . Outlays of 20.9 % GDP were above the average of 20.6 % GDP . The deficit of 3.2 % GDP was equal to the historical average . President Trump signed the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act into law in December 2017 . The CBO estimated that implementing the Act would add an estimated $1.455 trillion to the national debt over ten years , or about $1.0 trillion after macroeconomic feedback effects , in addition to the $11 trillion increase forecast under the current policy baseline and existing $20 trillion national debt . Budget principles ( edit ) The U.S. Constitution ( Article I , section 9 , clause 7 ) states that `` No money shall be drawn from the Treasury , but in Consequence of Appropriations made by Law ; and a regular Statement and Account of Receipts and Expenditures of all public Money shall be published from time to time . '' Each year , the President of the United States submits a budget request to Congress for the following fiscal year as required by the Budget and Accounting Act of 1921 . Current law ( 31 U.S.C. § 1105 ( a ) ) requires the president to submit a budget no earlier than the first Monday in January , and no later than the first Monday in February . Typically , presidents submit budgets on the first Monday in February . The budget submission has been delayed , however , in some new presidents ' first year when the previous president belonged to a different party . The federal budget is calculated largely on a cash basis . That is , revenues and outlays are recognized when transactions are made . Therefore , the full long - term costs of entitlement programs such as Medicare , Social Security , and the federal portion of Medicaid are not reflected in the federal budget . By contrast , many businesses and some other national governments have adopted forms of accrual accounting , which recognizes obligations and revenues when they are incurred . The costs of some federal credit and loan programs , according to provisions of the Federal Credit Reform Act of 1990 , are calculated on a net present value basis . Federal agencies can not spend money unless funds are authorized and appropriated . Typically , separate Congressional committees have jurisdiction over authorization and appropriations . The House and Senate Appropriations Committees currently have 12 subcommittees , which are responsible for drafting the 12 regular appropriations bills that determine amounts of discretionary spending for various federal programs . Appropriations bills must pass both the House and Senate and then be signed by the president in order to give federal agencies the legal budget authority to spend . In many recent years , regular appropriations bills have been combined into `` omnibus '' bills . Congress may also pass `` special '' or `` emergency '' appropriations . Spending that is deemed an `` emergency '' is exempt from certain Congressional budget enforcement rules . Funds for disaster relief have sometimes come from supplemental appropriations , such as after Hurricane Katrina . In other cases , funds included in emergency supplemental appropriations bills support activities not obviously related to actual emergencies , such as parts of the 2000 Census of Population and Housing . Special appropriations have been used to fund most of the costs of war and occupation in Iraq and Afghanistan so far . Budget resolutions and appropriations bills , which reflect spending priorities of Congress , will usually differ from funding levels in the president 's budget . The president , however , retains substantial influence over the budget process through veto power and through congressional allies when the president 's party has a majority in Congress . Budget authority versus outlays ( edit ) The amount of budget authority and outlays for a fiscal year usually differ because the government can incur obligations for future years . This means that budget authority from a previous fiscal year can , in many cases , be used for expenditure of funds in future fiscal years ; for example , a multi-year contract . Budget authority is the legal authority provided by federal law to enter into financial obligations that will result in immediate or future outlays involving federal government funds . Outlays refer to the issuance of checks , disbursement of cash or electronic transfer of funds made to liquidate a federal obligation and is usually synonymous with `` expenditure '' or `` spending '' . The term `` appropriations '' refers to budget authority to incur obligations and to make payments from the Treasury for specified purposes . Some military and some housing programs have multi-year appropriations , in which their budget authority is specified for several coming fiscal years . In the congressional budgeting process , an `` authorization '' ( technically the `` authorization act '' ) provides the legal authority for the executive branch to act , establishes an account which can receive money to implement the action , and sets a limit on how much money may be expended . However , this account remains empty until Congress approves an `` appropriation '' , which requires the U.S. Treasury to provide funds ( up to the limit provided for in the authorization ) . Congress is not required to appropriate as much money as is authorized . Congress may both authorize and appropriate in the same bill . Known as `` authorization bills '' , such legislation usually provides for a multi-year authorization and appropriation . Authorization bills are particularly useful when funding entitlement programs ( benefits which federal law says an individual has a right to , regardless if any money is appropriated ) , where estimating the amount of funds to be spent is difficult . Authorization bills are also useful when giving a federal agency the right to borrow money , sign contracts , or provide loan guarantees . In 2007 , two - thirds of all federal spending came through authorization bills . A `` backdoor authorization '' occurs when an appropriation is made and an agency required to spend the money even when no authorizing legislation has been enacted . A `` backdoor appropriation '' occurs when authorizing legislation requires an agency to spend a specific amount of money on a specific project within a specific period of time . Because the agency would be violating the law if it did not do so , it is required to spend the money -- even if no appropriation has been made . Backdoor appropriations are particularly vexsome because removing the appropriation requires amending federal law , which is often politically impossible to do within a short period of time . Backdoor authorizations and appropriations are sources of significant friction in Congress . Authorization and appropriations committees jealously guard their legislative rights , and the congressional budgeting process can break down when committees overstep their boundaries and are retaliated against . Federal budget data ( edit ) Table compares US federal spending and revenue in 2016 vs. 2015 using CBO historical data . Several government agencies provide budget data . These include the Government Accountability Office ( GAO ) , the Congressional Budget Office ( CBO ) , the Office of Management and Budget ( OMB ) and the U.S. Treasury Department . The CBO publishes The Budget and Economic Outlook in January , which covers a ten - year window and is typically updated in August . It also publishes a Long - Term Budget Outlook in July and a Monthly Budget Review . The OMB , which is responsible for organizing the President 's budget presented in February , typically issues a budget update in July . The GAO and the Treasury issue Financial Statements of the U.S. Government , usually in the December following the close of the federal fiscal year , which occurs September 30 . There is a corresponding Citizen 's Guide , a short summary . The Treasury Department also produces a Combined Statement of Receipts , Outlays , and Balances each December for the preceding fiscal year , which provides detailed data on federal financial activities . Historical tables within the President 's Budget ( OMB ) provide a wide range of data on federal government finances . Many of the data series begin in 1940 and include estimates of the President 's Budget for 2009 -- 2014 . Additionally , Table 1.1 provides data on receipts , outlays , and surpluses or deficits for 1901 -- 1939 and for earlier multi-year periods . This document is composed of 17 sections , each of which has one or more tables . Each section covers a common theme . Section 1 , for example , provides an overview of the budget and off - budget totals ; Section 2 provides tables on receipts by source ; and Section 3 shows outlays by function . When a section contains several tables , the general rule is to start with tables showing the broadest overview data and then work down to more detailed tables . The purpose of these tables is to present a broad range of historical budgetary data in one convenient reference source and to provide relevant comparisons likely to be most useful . The most common comparisons are in terms of proportions ( e.g. , each major receipt category as a percentage of total receipts and of the gross domestic product ) . Federal budget projections ( edit ) The Congressional Budget Office ( CBO ) projects budget data such as revenues , expenses , deficits , and debt as part of its `` Long - term Budget Outlook '' which is released annually . The 2014 Outlook included projections for debt through 2039 and beyond . CBO outlined several scenarios that result in a range of outcomes . The `` Extended Baseline '' scenario and `` Extended Alternative Fiscal '' scenario both result in a much higher level of debt relative to the size of the economy ( GDP ) as the country ages and healthcare costs rise faster than the rate of economic growth . CBO also identified scenarios involving significant austerity measures , which maintain or reduce the debt relative to GDP over time . The sooner austerity steps are taken ( e.g. , raising revenues or reducing spending or a combination of both ) , the smaller those changes can be to maintain or reduce the debt level projected in 2039 . For example , under the baseline scenario , stabilizing the ratio of debt to GDP at 74 % ( its current level ) would require non-interest spending cuts and / or tax hikes of 1.2 % of GDP annually if implemented in 2015 , or 1.5 % of GDP annually if begun in 2020 . To bring the debt - to - GDP ratio back to its 40 - year average of 39 % , the austerity measures required would be 2.6 % GDP if begun in 2015 and 3.2 % GDP if begun in 2020 . Over the 1974 to 2013 period , federal spending averaged 20.5 % GDP and revenue 17.4 % GDP . For scale , a 2 % GDP reduction in spending would be approximately a 10 % spending cut . Major receipt categories ( edit ) Main article : Taxation in the United States CBO data on share of U.S. federal revenues collected by tax type from 1967 - 2016 . Payroll taxes , paid by all wage earners , have increased as a share of total federal tax revenues , while corporate taxes have fallen . Income taxes have moved in a range , with Presidents Reagan and G.W. Bush lowering income tax rates , and Clinton and Obama raising them for the top incomes . CBO charts describing about $1.0 trillion in tax expenditures during 2013 ( i.e. , exemptions , deductions , and preferential rates ) and their distribution across income groups . The top 20 % of income earners received 50 % of the benefit from these tax breaks ; they also pay approximately 70 % of federal income taxes . During FY2016 , the federal government collected approximately $3.27 trillion in tax revenue , up $18 B ( billion ) or 1 % versus FY2015 . Primary receipt categories included individual income taxes ( $1,546 B or 47 % of total receipts ) , Social Security / Social Insurance taxes ( $1,115 B or 34 % ) , and corporate taxes ( $300 B or 10 % ) . Other revenue types included excise , estate and gift taxes . FY 2016 revenues were 17.8 % of gross domestic product ( GDP ) , versus 18.2 % in FY 2015 . Tax revenues averaged approximately 17.4 % GDP over the 1980 - 2015 period , generally ranging plus or minus 2 % from that level . Tax revenues are significantly affected by the economy . Recessions typically reduce government tax collections as economic activity slows . For example , tax revenues declined from $2.5 trillion in 2008 to $2.1 trillion in 2009 , and remained at that level in 2010 . From 2008 to 2009 , individual income taxes declined 20 % , while corporate taxes declined 50 % . At 14.6 % of GDP , the 2009 and 2010 collections were the lowest level of the past 50 years . Tax Policy ( edit ) Tax descriptions ( edit ) The federal personal income tax is progressive , meaning a higher marginal tax rate is applied to higher ranges of income . For example , in 2010 the tax rate that applied to the first $17,000 in taxable income for a couple filing jointly was 10 % , while the rate applied to income over $379,150 was 35 % . The top marginal tax rate has declined considerably since 1980 . For example , the top tax rate was lowered from 70 % to 50 % in 1980 and reached as low as 28 % in 1988 . The Bush tax cuts of 2001 and 2003 , extended by President Obama in 2010 , lowered the top rate from 39.6 % to 35 % . The American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012 raised the income tax rates for individuals earning over $400,000 and couples over $450,000 . There are numerous exemptions and deductions , that typically result in a range of 35 -- 40 % of U.S. households owing no federal income tax . The recession and tax cut stimulus measures increased this to 51 % for 2009 , versus 38 % in 2007 . In 2011 it was found that 46 % of households paid no federal income tax , however the top 1 % contributed about 25 % of total taxes collected . In 2014 , the top 1 % paid approximately 46 % of the federal income taxes , excluding payroll taxes . The federal payroll tax ( FICA ) partially funds Social Security and Medicare . For the Social Security portion , employers and employees each pay 6.2 % of the workers gross pay , a total of 12.4 % . The Social Security portion is capped at $118,500 for 2015 , meaning income above this amount is not subject to the tax . It is a flat tax up to the cap , but regressive overall as it is not applied to higher incomes . The Medicare portion is also paid by employer and employee each at 1.45 % and is not capped . Starting in 2013 , an additional 0.9 percent more in Medicare taxes was applied to income of more than $200,000 ( $250,000 for married couples filing jointly ) , making it a progressive tax overall . For calendar years 2011 and 2012 , the employee 's portion of the payroll tax was reduced to 4.2 % as an economic stimulus measure ; this expired for 2013 . Approximately 65 % percent of tax return filers pay more in payroll taxes than income taxes . Tax expenditures ( edit ) The term `` tax expenditures '' refers to income exclusions , deductions , preferential rates , and credits that reduce revenues for any given level of tax rates in the individual , payroll , and corporate income tax systems . Like conventional spending , they contribute to the federal budget deficit . They also influence choices about working , saving , and investing , and affect the distribution of income . The amount of reduced federal revenues are significant , estimated by CBO at nearly 8 % GDP or about $1.5 trillion in 2017 , for scale roughly half the revenue collected by the government and nearly three times as large as the budget deficit . Since eliminating a tax expenditure changes economic behavior , the amount of additional revenue that would be generated is somewhat less than the estimated size of the tax expenditure . CBO reported that the following were among the largest individual ( non-corporate ) tax expenditures in 2013 : The exclusion from workers ' taxable income of employers ' contributions for health care , health insurance premiums , and premiums for long - term care insurance ( $248 B ) ; The exclusion of contributions to and the earnings of pension funds such as 401k plans ( $137 B ) ; Preferential tax rates on dividends and long - term capital gains ( $161 B ) ; and The deductions for state and local taxes ( $77 B ) , mortgage interest ( $70 B ) and charitable contributions ( $39 B ) . In 2013 , CBO estimated that more than half of the combined benefits of 10 major tax expenditures would apply to households in the top 20 % income group , and that 17 % of the benefit would go to the top 1 % households . The top 20 % of income earners pay about 70 % of federal income taxes , excluding payroll taxes . For scale , 50 % of the $1.5 trillion in tax expenditures in 2016 was $750 billion , while the U.S. budget deficit was approximately $600 billion . In other words , eliminating the tax expenditures for the top 20 % might balance the budget over the short - term , depending on economic feedback effects . Major expenditure categories ( edit ) Main article : Expenditures in the United States federal budget US Federal Government expenditures CBO projections of U.S. Federal spending as % GDP 2014 - 2024 Social Security -- Ratio of Covered Workers to Retirees . Over time , there will be fewer workers per retiree . CBO forecast of Social Security tax revenues and outlays from 2015 - 2085 . Under current law , the outlays are projected to exceed revenues , requiring a 29 % reduction in program payments starting around 2030 once the Social Security Trust Fund is exhausted . Defense Spending 2001 -- 2017 . FY 2013 Estimated Federal Spending per 2013 Budget Interest to GDP , a measure of debt burden , was very low in 2015 but is projected to rise with both interest rates and debt levels over the 2016 - 2026 period . During FY2016 , the federal government spent $3.85 trillion on a budget or cash basis , up $164 billion or 4 % vs. FY2015 spending of $3.69 trillion . Major categories of FY 2016 spending included : Healthcare such as Medicare and Medicaid ( $1,060 B or 28 % of spending ) , Social Security ( $910 B or 24 % ) , non-defense discretionary spending used to run federal Departments and Agencies ( $600 B or 16 % ) , Defense Department ( $585 B or 15 % ) , and interest ( $240 B or 6 % ) . Expenditures are classified as `` mandatory '' , with payments required by specific laws to those meeting eligibility criteria ( e.g. , Social Security and Medicare ) , or `` discretionary '' , with payment amounts renewed annually as part of the budget process . Around two thirds of federal spending is for `` mandatory '' programs . CBO projects that mandatory program spending and interest costs will rise relative to GDP over the 2016 -- 2026 period , while defense and other discretionary spending will decline relative to GDP . Mandatory spending and Social safety nets ( edit ) Social Security , Medicare , and Medicaid expenditures are funded by more permanent Congressional appropriations and so are considered mandatory spending . Social Security and Medicare are sometimes called `` entitlements '' , because people meeting relevant eligibility requirements are legally entitled to benefits , although most pay taxes into these programs throughout their working lives . Some programs , such as Food Stamps , are appropriated entitlements . Some mandatory spending , such as Congressional salaries , is not part of any entitlement program . Mandatory spending accounted for 59.8 % of total federal outlays ( net of receipts that partially pay for the programs ) , with net interest payments accounting for an additional 6.5 % . In 2000 , these were 53.2 % and 12.5 % , respectively . Mandatory spending is expected to continue increasing as a share of GDP . This is due in part to demographic trends , as the number of workers continues declining relative to those receiving benefits . For example , the number of workers per retiree was 5.1 in 1960 ; this declined to 3.0 in 2010 and is projected to decline to 2.2 by 2030 . These programs are also affected by per - person costs , which are also expected to increase at a rate significantly higher than economic growth . This unfavorable combination of demographics and per - capita rate increases is expected to drive both Social Security and Medicare into large deficits during the 21st century . Unless these long - term fiscal imbalances are addressed by reforms to these programs , raising taxes or drastic cuts in discretionary programs , the federal government will at some point be unable to pay its obligations without significant risk to the value of the dollar ( inflation ) . By one estimate , 70 % of the growth in these entitlement expenses over the 2016 - 2046 period is due to healthcare . Medicare was established in 1965 and expanded thereafter . Spending for Medicare during 2016 was $692 billion , versus $634 billion in 2014 , an increase of $58 billion or 9 % . In 2013 , the program covered an estimated 52.3 million persons . It consists of four distinct parts which are funded differently : Hospital Insurance , mainly funded by a dedicated payroll tax of 2.9 % of earnings , shared equally between employers and workers ; Supplementary Medical Insurance , funded through beneficiary premiums ( set at 25 % of estimated program costs for the aged ) and general revenues ( the remaining amount , approximately 75 % ) ; Medicare Advantage , a private plan option for beneficiaries , funded through the Hospital Insurance and Supplementary Medical Insurance trust funds ; and the Part D prescription drug benefits , for which funding is included in the Supplementary Medical Insurance trust fund and is financed through beneficiary premiums ( about 25 % ) and general revenues ( about 75 % ) . Spending on Medicare and Medicaid is projected to grow dramatically in coming decades . The number of persons enrolled in Medicare is expected to increase from 47 million in 2010 to 80 million by 2030 . While the same demographic trends that affect Social Security also affect Medicare , rapidly rising medical prices appear to be a more important cause of projected spending increases . CBO expects Medicare and Medicaid to continue growing , rising from 5.3 % GDP in 2009 to 10.0 % in 2035 and 19.0 % by 2082 . CBO has indicated healthcare spending per beneficiary is the primary long - term fiscal challenge . Various reform strategies were proposed for healthcare , and in March 2010 , the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act was enacted as a means of health care reform . CBO reduced its per capita Medicare spending assumptions by $1,000 for 2014 and $2,300 for 2019 , relative to its 2010 estimate for those years . If this trend continues , it will significantly improve the long - term budget outlook . Social Security is a social insurance program officially called `` Old - Age , Survivors , and Disability Insurance '' ( OASDI ) , in reference to its three components . It is primarily funded through a dedicated payroll tax of 12.4 % . During 2016 , total benefits of $910 billion were paid out , versus $882 billion in 2015 , an increase of $28 billion or 3 % . Social Security 's total expenditures have exceeded its non-interest income since 2010 . The deficit of non-interest income relative to cost was about $49 billion in 2010 , $45 billion in 2011 , and $55 billion in 2012 . During 2010 , an estimated 157 million people paid into the program and 54 million received benefits , roughly 2.91 workers per beneficiary . Since the Greenspan Commission in the early 1980s , Social Security has cumulatively collected far more in payroll taxes dedicated to the program than it has paid out to recipients -- nearly $2.6 trillion in 2010 . This annual surplus is credited to Social Security trust funds that hold special non-marketable Treasury securities . This surplus amount is commonly referred to as the `` Social Security Trust Fund '' . The proceeds are paid into the U.S. Treasury where they may be used for other government purposes . Social Security spending will increase sharply over the next decades , largely due to the retirement of the baby boom generation . The number of program recipients is expected to increase from 44 million in 2010 to 73 million in 2030 . Program spending is projected to rise from 4.8 % of GDP in 2010 to 5.9 % of GDP by 2030 , where it will stabilize . The Social Security Administration projects that an increase in payroll taxes equivalent to 1.8 % of the payroll tax base or 0.6 % of GDP would be necessary to put the Social Security program in fiscal balance for the next 75 years . Over an infinite time horizon , these shortfalls average 3.3 % of the payroll tax base and 1.2 % of GDP . Various reforms have been debated for Social Security . Examples include reducing future annual cost of living adjustments ( COLA ) provided to recipients , raising the retirement age , and raising the income limit subject to the payroll tax ( $118,500 in 2014 ) . Because of the mandatory nature of the program and large accumulated surplus in the Social Security Trust Fund , the Social Security system has the legal authority to compel the government to borrow to pay all promised benefits through 2036 , when the Trust Fund is expected to be exhausted . Thereafter , the program under current law will pay approximately 75 -- 78 % of promised benefits for the remainder of the century . Discretionary spending ( edit ) Military spending : During 2016 , the Department of Defense spent $585 billion , an increase of $1 billion versus 2015 . This is a partial measure of all defense - related spending . The military budget of the United States during FY 2014 was approximately $582 billion in expenses for the Department of Defense ( DoD ) , $149 billion for the Department of Veterans Affairs , and $43 billion for the Department of Homeland Security , for a total of $770 billion . This was approximately $33 billion or 4.1 % below 2013 spending . DoD spending has fallen from a peak of $678 billion in 2011 . The U.S. defense budget ( excluding spending for the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan , Homeland Security , and Veteran 's Affairs ) is around 4 % of GDP . Adding these other costs places defense spending around 5 % GDP . The DoD baseline budget , excluding supplemental funding for the wars , grew from $297 billion in FY2001 to a budgeted $534 billion for FY2010 , an 81 % increase . According to the CBO , defense spending grew 9 % annually on average from fiscal year 2000 - 2009 . Much of the costs for the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan have not been funded through regular appropriations bills , but through emergency supplemental appropriations bills . As such , most of these expenses were not included in the military budget calculation prior to FY2010 . Some budget experts argue that emergency supplemental appropriations bills do not receive the same level of legislative care as regular appropriations bills . During 2011 , the U.S. spent more on its military budget than the next 13 countries combined . Non-defense discretionary spending is used to fund the executive departments ( e.g. , the Department of Education ) and independent agencies ( e.g. , the Environmental Protection Agency ) , although these do receive a smaller amount of mandatory funding as well . Discretionary budget authority is established annually by Congress , as opposed to mandatory spending that is required by laws that span multiple years , such as Social Security or Medicare . The federal government spent approximately $600 billion during 2016 on the Cabinet Departments and Agencies , excluding the Department of Defense , up $15 billion or 3 % versus 2015 . This represented 16 % of budgeted expenditures or about 3.3 % of GDP . Spending is below the recent dollar peak of $658 billion in 2010 . Interest expense ( edit ) CBO reported that net interest on the public debt was approximately $240 billion in FY2016 ( 6 % of spending ) , an increase of $17 billion or 8 % versus FY2015 . A higher level of debt coincided with higher interest rates . During FY2012 , the GAO reported a figure of $245 billion , down from $251 billion . Government also accrued a non-cash interest expense of $187 billion for intra-governmental debt , primarily the Social Security Trust Fund , for a total interest expense of $432 billion . GAO reported that even though the national debt rose in FY2012 , the interest rate paid declined . Should interest rates rise to historical averages , the interest cost would increase dramatically . As of January 2012 , public debt owned by foreigners has increased to approximately 50 % of the total or approximately $5.0 trillion . As a result , nearly 50 % of the interest payments are now leaving the country , which is different from past years when interest was paid to U.S. citizens holding the public debt . Interest expenses are projected to grow dramatically as the U.S. debt increases and interest rates rise from very low levels to more typical historical levels . Understanding deficits and debt ( edit ) Main article : National debt of the United States Relationship of deficit and debt ( edit ) Deficit and Debt Increases 2001 - 2016 . Intuitively , the annual budget deficit should represent the amount added to the national debt . However , there are certain types of spending ( `` supplemental appropriations '' ) outside the budget process which are not captured in the deficit computation , which also add to the national debt . Prior to 2009 , spending for the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan was often funded through special appropriations excluded from the budget deficit calculation . In FY2010 and prior , the budget deficit and annual change in the national debt were significantly different . For example , the U.S. added $1 trillion to the national debt in FY2008 but reported a deficit of $455 billion . Due to rules changes implemented under President Obama in 2009 , the two figures have moved closer together and were nearly identical in 2013 ( a CBO reported deficit of $680 billion versus change in debt of $672 billion ) . For FY2014 , the difference widened again , with the CBO reporting a deficit of $483 billion versus a change in total debt outstanding of $1,086 billion . Debt categories ( edit ) The total federal debt is divided into `` debt held by the public '' and `` intra-governmental debt . '' The debt held by the public refers to U.S. government securities or other obligations held by investors ( e.g. , bonds , bills and notes ) , while Social Security and other federal trust funds are part of the intra-governmental debt . As of September 30 , 2012 the total debt was $16.1 trillion , with debt held by the public of $11.3 trillion and intragovernmental debt of $4.8 trillion . Debt held by the public as a percentage of GDP rose from 34.7 % in 2000 to 40.3 % in 2008 and 70.0 % in 2012 . U.S. GDP was approximately $15 trillion during 2011 and an estimated $15.6 trillion for 2012 based on activity during the first two quarters . This means the total debt is roughly the size of GDP . Economists debate the level of debt relative to GDP that signals a `` red line '' or dangerous level , or if any such level exists . By comparison , China 's budget deficit was 1.6 % of its $10 trillion GDP in 2010 , with a debt to GDP ratio of 16 % . Risks associated with the debt ( edit ) Federal Debt Held by the Public as a percentage of gross domestic product ( GDP ) , from 1940 to 2016 with future projections The CBO reported several types of risk factors related to rising debt levels in a July 2010 publication : A growing portion of savings would go towards purchases of government debt , rather than investments in productive capital goods such as factories and leading to lower output and incomes than would otherwise occur ; Rising interest costs would force reductions in important government programs ; To the extent that additional tax revenues were generated by increasing marginal tax rates , those rates would discourage work and saving , further reducing output and incomes ; Restrictions to the ability of policymakers to use fiscal policy to respond to economic challenges ; and An increased risk of a sudden fiscal pressure on the government , in which investors demand higher interest rates . However , since mid to late 2010 , the U.S. Treasury has been obtaining negative real interest rates at Treasury security auctions . At such low rates , government debt borrowing saves taxpayer money according to one economist . There is no guarantee that such rates will continue , but the trend has remained falling or flat as of October 2012 . Fears of a fiscal crisis triggered by a significant selloff of U.S. Treasury securities by foreign owners such as China and Japan did not materialize , even in the face of significant sales of those securities during 2015 , as demand for U.S. securities remained robust . Government budget balance as a sectoral component ( edit ) Sectoral financial balances in U.S. economy 1990 - 2015 . By definition , the three balances must net to zero . Since 2009 , the U.S. capital surplus and private sector surplus have driven a government budget deficit . Main article : Sectoral financial balances Economist Martin Wolf explained in July 2012 that government fiscal balance is one of three major financial sectoral balances in the U.S. economy , the others being the foreign financial sector and the private financial sector . The sum of the surpluses or deficits across these three sectors must be zero by definition . Since the foreign and private sectors are in surplus , the government sector must be in deficit . Wolf argued that the sudden shift in the private sector from deficit to surplus due to the global economic conditions forced the government balance into deficit , writing : `` The financial balance of the private sector shifted towards surplus by the almost unbelievable cumulative total of 11.2 per cent of gross domestic product between the third quarter of 2007 and the second quarter of 2009 , which was when the financial deficit of US government ( federal and state ) reached its peak ... No fiscal policy changes explain the collapse into massive fiscal deficit between 2007 and 2009 , because there was none of any importance . The collapse is explained by the massive shift of the private sector from financial deficit into surplus or , in other words , from boom to bust . '' Economist Paul Krugman also explained in December 2011 the causes of the sizable shift from private sector deficit to surplus : `` This huge move into surplus reflects the end of the housing bubble , a sharp rise in household saving , and a slump in business investment due to lack of customers . '' CBO budget projections ( edit ) Short - term Outlook ( edit ) CBO reported in October 2014 : `` The federal government ran a budget deficit of $486 billion in fiscal year 2014 ... $195 billion less than the shortfall recorded in fiscal year 2013 , and the smallest deficit recorded since 2008 . Relative to the size of the economy , that deficit -- at an estimated 2.8 percent of gross domestic product ( GDP ) -- was slightly below the average experienced over the past 40 years , and 2014 was the fifth consecutive year in which the deficit declined as a percentage of GDP since peaking at 9.8 percent in 2009 . By CBO 's estimate , revenues were about 9 percent higher and outlays were about 1 percent higher in 2014 than they were in the previous fiscal year . '' CBO reported in its February 2014 Budget and Economic Outlook ( which covers the 2014 - 2024 period ) that deficits were projected to return to approximately the historical average relative to the size of the economy ( GDP ) by 2014 . CBO estimated that under current law , the deficit would total $514 billion in fiscal year 2014 or 3.0 % GDP . Deficits would then slowly begin rising again through 2024 due primarily to the pressures of an aging population and rising healthcare costs per person . The debt to GDP ratio would remain stable for much of the decade then begin rising again toward the end of the 10 - year forecast window , from 74 % in 2014 to 79 % in 2024 . Long - term Outlook ( edit ) CBO - Public Debt Under `` Extended '' and `` Alternate '' Scenarios Spending for mandatory programs is projected to rise relative to GDP , while discretionary programs decline The Congressional Budget Office ( CBO ) reports its Long - Term Budget Outlook annually , providing at least two scenarios for spending , revenue , deficits , and debt . The 2014 Outlook mainly covers the 25 - year period through 2039 . The `` extended baseline scenario '' assumes that the laws currently on the books will be implemented , for the most part . CBO reported in July 2014 that under this scenario : `` If current laws remained generally unchanged in the future , federal debt held by the public would decline slightly relative to GDP over the next few years . After that , however , growing budget deficits would push debt back to and above its current high level . Twenty - five years from now , in 2039 , federal debt held by the public would exceed 100 percent of GDP . Moreover , debt would be on an upward path relative to the size of the economy , a trend that could not be sustained indefinitely . By 2039 , the deficit would equal 6.5 percent of GDP , larger than in any year between 1947 and 2008 , and federal debt held by the public would reach 106 percent of GDP , more than in any year except 1946 -- even without factoring in the economic effects of growing debt . '' The `` extended alternative fiscal scenario '' assumes the continuation of present trends , which result in a more unfavorable debt position and adverse economic consequences relative to the baseline scenario . CBO reported in July 2014 that under this scenario : `` ( C ) ertain policies that are now in place but are scheduled to change under current law are assumed to continue , and some provisions of current law that might be difficult to sustain for a long period are assumed to be modified . Under that scenario , deficits excluding interest payments would be about $2 trillion larger over the first decade than those under the baseline ; subsequently , such deficits would be larger than those under the extended baseline by rapidly increasing amounts , doubling as a percentage of GDP in less than 10 years . CBO projects that real GNP in 2039 would be about 5 percent lower under the extended alternative fiscal scenario than under the extended baseline with economic feedback , and that interest rates would be about three - quarters of a percentage point higher . Reflecting the budgetary effects of those economic developments , federal debt would rise to 183 percent of GDP in 2039 . '' Over the long - term , CBO projects that interest expense and mandatory spending categories ( e.g. , Medicare , Medicaid and Social Security ) will continue to grow relative to GDP , while discretionary categories ( e.g. , Defense and other Cabinet Departments ) continue to fall relative to GDP . Debt is projected to continue rising relative to GDP under the above two scenarios , although the CBO did also offer other scenarios that involved austerity measures that would bring the debt to GDP ratio down . CBO estimated under the baseline scenario that the U.S. debt held by the public would increase approximately $8.5 trillion between the end of 2014 and 2024 . Under a $2 trillion deficit reduction scenario during that first decade , federal debt held by the public in 2039 would stand at 75 percent of GDP , only slightly above the value of 72 percent at the end of 2013 . Under a $4 trillion deficit reduction scenario for that decade , federal debt held by the public would fall to 42 percent of GDP in 2039 . By comparison , such debt was 35 percent of GDP in 2007 and has averaged 39 percent of GDP during the past 40 years . CBO reported in September 2011 : `` The nation can not continue to sustain the spending programs and policies of the past with the tax revenues it has been accustomed to paying . Citizens will either have to pay more for their government , accept less in government services and benefits , or both . '' CBO baseline for the Trump administration ( edit ) In January 2017 , the Congressional Budget Office reported its baseline budget projections for the 2017 - 2027 time periods , based on laws in place as of the end of the Obama administration . CBO forecasted that `` debt held by the public '' would increase from $14.2 trillion in 2016 to $24.9 trillion by 2027 , an increase of $10.7 trillion . These increases are primarily driven by an aging population , which impacts the costs of Social Security and Medicare , along with interest on the debt . As President Trump introduces his budgetary policies , the impact can be measured against this baseline . CBO also estimated that if policies in place as of the end of the Obama administration continued over the following decade , real GDP would grow at approximately 2 % per year , the unemployment rate would remain around 5 % , inflation would remain around 2 % , and interest rates would rise moderately . President Trump 's economic policies can also be measured against this baseline . Contemporary issues and debates ( edit ) CBO forecast that the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act ( Conference version ) would add $1.455 trillion to the debt held by the public ( a subset of the national debt ) over the 2018 - 2027 period , excluding macroeconomic feedback effects . This is in addition to nearly $11 trillion in debt increases already in the June 2017 baseline and the $20.6 trillion national debt as of November 2017 . Federal budget deficits from FY2016 through FY2018 estimates . The 2016 and 2017 amounts are actual results . The CBO estimate for 2018 is from their January 2017 baseline , which reflected laws in place when President Trump was inaugurated . The OMB estimate is from President Trump 's 2019 budget . Main articles : Political debates about the United States federal budget and Deficit reduction in the United States Conceptual arguments ( edit ) Many of the debates surrounding the United States federal budget center around competing macroeconomic schools of thought . In general , Democrats favor the principles of Keynesian economics to encourage economic growth via a mixed economy of both private and public enterprise , a welfare state , and strong regulatory oversight . Conversely , Republicans generally support applying the principles of either laissez - faire or supply - side economics to grow the economy via small government , low taxes , limited regulation , and free enterprise . Debates have surrounded the appropriate size and role of the federal government since the founding of the country . These debates also deal with questions of morality , income equality , and intergenerational equity . For example , Congress adding to the debt today may or may not enhance the quality of life for future generations , who must also bear the additional interest and taxation burden . Political realities make major budgetary deals difficult to achieve . While Republicans argue conceptually for reductions in Medicare and Social Security , they are hesitant to actually vote to reduce the benefits from these popular programs . Democrats on the other hand argue conceptually for tax increases on the wealthy , yet may be hesitant to vote for them because of the effect on campaign donations from the wealthy . The so - called budgetary `` grand bargain '' of tax hikes on the rich and removal of some popular tax deductions in exchange for reductions to Medicare and Social Security is therefore elusive . Trump tax cuts ( edit ) Main article : Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 President Trump signed the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act into law in December 2017 . The CBO estimated that implementing the Act would add an estimated $1.455 trillion to the national debt over ten years , or about $1.0 trillion after macroeconomic feedback effects , in addition to the $11 trillion increase forecast under the current policy baseline and existing $20 trillion national debt . CBO reported on December 21 , 2017 : `` Overall , the combined effect of the change in net federal revenue and spending is to decrease deficits ( primarily stemming from reductions in spending ) allocated to lower - income tax filing units and to increase deficits ( primarily stemming from reductions in taxes ) allocated to higher - income tax filing units . '' Healthcare reform ( edit ) The CBO has consistently reported since 2010 that the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act ( also known as `` Obamacare '' ) would reduce the deficit , as its tax increases and reductions in future Medicare spending offset its incremental spending for subsidies for low - income households . The CBO reported in June 2015 that repeal of the ACA would increase the deficit between $137 billion and $353 billion over the 2016 -- 2025 period in total , depending on the impact of macroeconomic feedback effects . In other words , ACA is a deficit reducer , as its repeal would raise the deficit . The Medicare Trustees provide an annual report of the program 's finances . The forecasts from 2009 and 2015 differ materially , mainly due to changes in the projected rate of healthcare cost increases , which have moderated considerably . Rather than rising to nearly 12 % GDP over the forecast period ( through 2080 ) as forecast in 2009 , the 2015 forecast has Medicare costs rising to 6 % GDP , comparable to the Social Security program . The increase in healthcare costs is one of the primary drivers of long - term budget deficits . The long - term budget situation has considerably improved in the 2015 forecast versus the 2009 forecast per the Trustees Report . U.S. healthcare costs were approximately $3.2 trillion or nearly $10,000 per person on average in 2015 . Major categories of expense include hospital care ( 32 % ) , physician and clinical services ( 20 % ) , and prescription drugs ( 10 % ) . U.S. costs in 2016 were substantially higher than other OECD countries , at 17.2 % GDP versus 12.4 % GDP for the next most expensive country ( Switzerland ) . For scale , a 5 % GDP difference represents about $1 trillion or $3,000 per person . Some of the many reasons cited for the cost differential with other countries include : Higher administrative costs of a private system with multiple payment processes ; higher costs for the same products and services ; more expensive volume / mix of services with higher usage of more expensive specialists ; aggressive treatment of very sick elderly versus palliative care ; less use of government intervention in pricing ; and higher income levels driving greater demand for healthcare . Healthcare costs are a fundamental driver of health insurance costs , which leads to coverage affordability challenges for millions of families . There is ongoing debate whether the current law ( ACA / Obamacare ) and the Republican alternatives ( AHCA and BCRA ) do enough to address the cost challenge . The Great recession ( edit ) Several major U.S. economic variables had recovered from the 2007 - 2009 Subprime mortgage crisis and Great Recession by the 2013 - 2014 time period . Main article : Subprime mortgage crisis In the wake of the 2007 -- 2009 U.S. recession , there were several important fiscal debates around key questions : What caused the sizable deficit increases during and shortly after the Great Recession ? The CBO reported that the deficit expansion was mainly due to the economic downturn rather than policy choices . Revenue fell while social safety net spending increased for programs such as unemployment compensation and food stamps , as more families qualified for benefits . From 2008 to 2009 , the large deficit increase was also driven by spending on stimulus and bailout programs . Should the Bush tax cuts of 2001 and 2003 be allowed to expire in 2010 as scheduled ? Ultimately , the Bush tax cuts were allowed to expire for the highest income taxpayers only as part of the American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012 . Should significant deficits be continued or should fiscal austerity be implemented ? While the deficit jumped from 2008 to 2009 , by 2014 it had fallen to its historical average relative to the size of the economy ( GDP ) . This was due to the recovering economy , which had increased tax revenue . In addition , tax increases were implemented on higher - income taxpayers , while military and non-military discretionary spending were reduced or restrained ( sequestered ) as part of the Budget Control Act of 2011 . Public opinion polls ( edit ) According to a December 2012 Pew Research Center poll , only a few of the frequently discussed deficit reduction ideas have majority support : 69 % support raising the tax rate on income over $250,000 . 54 % support limiting deductions taxpayers can claim . 52 % support raising the tax on investment income . 51 % support reducing Medicare payments to high - income seniors . 51 % support reducing Social Security payments to high - income seniors . Fewer than 50 % support raising the retirement age for Social Security or Medicare , reducing military defense spending , limiting the mortgage interest deduction , or reducing federal funding for low income persons , education and infrastructure . Proposed deficit reduction ( edit ) 2010 Report of the National Commission on Fiscal Responsibility and Reform - Public Debt as % GDP Under Various Scenarios Waterfall chart shows cause of change from deficit in 1994 to surplus in 2001 , measured as a % GDP . Income tax revenues rose as a % GDP following higher taxes for high income earners , while defense spending and interest fell relative to GDP . Main article : Deficit reduction in the United States Strategies ( edit ) There are a variety of proposed strategies for reducing the federal deficit . These may include policy choices regarding taxation and spending , along with policies designed to increase economic growth and reduce unemployment . For example , a fast - growing economy offers the win - win outcome of a larger proverbial economic pie , with higher employment and tax revenues , lower safety net spending and a lower debt - to - GDP ratio . However , most other strategies represent a tradeoff scenario in which money or benefits are taken from some and given to others . Spending can be reduced from current levels , frozen , or the rate of future spending increases reduced . Budgetary rules can also be implemented to manage spending . Some changes can take place today , while others can phase in over time . Tax revenues can be raised in a variety of ways , by raising tax rates , the scope of what is taxed , or eliminating deductions and exemptions ( `` tax expenditures '' ) . Regulatory uncertainty or barriers can be reduced , as these may cause businesses to postpone investment and hiring decisions . The CBO reported in January 2017 that : `` The effects on the federal budget of the aging population and rapidly growing health care costs are already apparent over the 10 - year horizon -- especially for Social Security and Medicare -- and will grow in size beyond the baseline period . Unless laws governing fiscal policy were changed -- that is , spending for large benefit programs was reduced , increases in revenues were implemented , or some combination of those approaches was adopted -- debt would rise sharply relative to GDP after 2027 . '' During June 2012 , Federal Reserve Chair Ben Bernanke recommended three objectives for fiscal policy : 1 ) Take steps to put the federal budget on a sustainable fiscal path ; 2 ) Avoid unnecessarily impeding the ongoing economic recovery ; and 3 ) Design tax policies and spending programs to promote a stronger economy . President Barack Obama stated in June 2012 : `` What I 've said is , let 's make long - term spending cuts ; let 's initiate long - term reforms ; let 's reduce our health care spending ; let 's make sure that we 've got a pathway , a glide - path to fiscal responsibility , but at the same time , let 's not under - invest in the things that we need to do right now to grow . And that recipe of short - term investments in growth and jobs with a long - term path of fiscal responsibility is the right approach to take for , I think , not only the United States but also for Europe . '' Specific proposals ( edit ) A variety of government task forces , expert panels , private institutions , politicians , and journalists have made recommendations for reducing the deficit and slowing the growth of debt . Several organizations have compared the future impact of these plans on the deficit , debt , and economy . One helpful way of measuring the impact of the plans is to compare them in terms of revenue and expense as a percentage of GDP over time , in total and by category . This helps illustrate how the different plan authors have prioritized particular elements of the budget . Government Commission proposals ( edit ) President Obama established a budget reform commission , the National Commission on Fiscal Responsibility and Reform which released a draft report in December 2010 . The proposal is sometimes called the `` Bowles - Simpson '' plan after the co-chairs of the Commission . It included various tax and spending adjustments to bring long - run government tax revenue and spending into line at approximately 21 % of GDP , with $4 trillion debt avoidance over 10 years . Under 2011 policies , the national debt would increase approximately $10 trillion over the 2012 - 2021 period , so this $4 trillion avoidance reduces the projected debt increase to $6 trillion . The Center on Budget and Policy Priorities analyzed the plan and compared it to other plans in October 2012 . President Obama 's proposals ( edit ) President Obama announced a 10 - year ( 2012 -- 2021 ) plan in September 2011 called : `` Living Within Our Means and Investing in the Future : The President 's Plan for Economic Growth and Deficit Reduction . '' The plan included tax increases on the wealthy , along with cuts in future spending on defense and Medicare . Social Security was excluded from the plan . The plan included a net debt avoidance of $3.2 trillion over 10 years . If the Budget Control Act of 2011 is included , this adds another $1.2 trillion in deficit reduction for a total of $4.4 trillion . The Bipartisan Policy Center ( BPC ) evaluated the President 's 2012 budget against several alternate proposals , reporting it had revenues relative to GDP similar to the Domenici - Rivlin and Bowles - Simpson expert panel recommendations but slightly higher spending . President Obama proposed during July 2012 allowing the Bush tax cuts to expire for individual taxpayers earning over $200,000 and couples earning over $250,000 , which represents the top 2 % of income earners . Reverting to Clinton - era tax rates for these taxpayers would mean increases in the top rates to 36 % and 39.6 % from 33 % and 35 % . This would raise approximately $850 billion in revenue over a decade . It would also mean raising the tax rate on investment income , which is highly concentrated among the wealthy , to 20 % from 15 % . Congressional proposals ( edit ) The House of Representatives Committee on the Budget , chaired by Rep. Paul Ryan ( R ) , released The Path to Prosperity : Restoring America 's Promise and a 2012 budget . The Path focuses on tax reform ( lowering income tax rates and reducing tax expenditures or loopholes ) ; spending cuts and controls ; and redesign of the Medicare and Medicaid programs . It does not propose significant changes to Social Security . The Bipartisan Policy Center ( BPC ) evaluated the 2012 Republican budget proposal , noting it had the lowest spending and tax revenue relative to GDP among several alternatives . The Congressional Progressive Caucus ( CPC ) proposed `` The People 's Budget '' in April 2011 , which it claimed would balance the budget by 2021 while maintaining debt as a % GDP under 65 % . It proposed reversing most of the Bush tax cuts ; higher income tax rates on the wealthy and restoring the estate tax , investing in a jobs program , and reducing defense spending . The BPC evaluated the proposal , noting it had both the highest spending and tax revenue relative to GDP among several alternatives . The CPC also proposed a 2014 budget called `` Back to Work . '' It included short - term stimulus , defense spending cuts , and tax increases . Congressmen Jim Cooper ( D - TN ) and Steven LaTourette ( R - OH ) proposed a budget in the House of Representatives in March 2012 . While it did not pass the House , it received bi-partisan support , with 17 votes in favor from each party . According to the BPC : `` ... the plan would enact tax reform by lowering both the corporate and individual income tax rates and raising revenue by broadening the base . Policies are endorsed that improve the health of the Social Security program , restrain health care cost growth , control annually appropriated spending , and make cuts to other entitlement programs . '' The plan proposes to raise approximately $1 trillion less revenue over the 2013 - 2022 decade than the Simpson - Bowles and Domenici - Rivlin plans , while cutting non-defense discretionary spending more deeply and reducing the defense spending cuts mandated in the Budget Control Act of 2011 . According to the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities , this plan is ideologically to the Right of either the Simpson - Bowles or Domenici - Rivlin plans . In May 2012 , House Republicans put forward five separate budget proposals for a vote in the Senate . The Republican proposals included the House - approved proposal by House Budget Chairman Paul Ryan and one that was very close in content to the budget proposal submitted earlier in 2012 by President Barack Obama . The other three proposals each called for greatly reduced government spending . The budget put forward by Senator Mike Lee would halve the government over the next 25 years . Senator Rand Paul 's budget included proposed cuts to Medicare , Social Security benefits and the closure of four Cabinet departments . The budget plan from Senator Patrick Toomey aimed to balance the budget within eight years . All five of the proposed plans were rejected in the Senate . Private expert panel proposals ( edit ) The Peter G. Peterson Foundation solicited proposals from six organizations , which included the American Enterprise Institute , the Bipartisan Policy Center , the Center for American Progress , the Economic Policy Institute , The Heritage Foundation , and the Roosevelt Institute Campus Network . The recommendations of each group were reported in May 2011 . A year later , Solutions Initiative II asked five leading think tanks -- the American Action Forum , the Bipartisan Policy Center , the Center for American Progress , the Economic Policy Institute , and The Heritage Foundation -- to address the near - term fiscal challenges of the `` fiscal cliff '' while offering updated long - term plans . In 2015 , the Peterson Foundation invited the American Action Forum , the American Enterprise Institute , the Bipartisan Policy Center , the Center for American Progress , and the Economic Policy Institute to developed specific , `` scoreable '' policy proposals to set the federal budget on a sustainable , long - term path for prosperity and economic growth . The Bipartisan Policy Center ( BPC ) sponsored a Debt Reduction Task Force , co-chaired by Pete V. Domenici and Alice M. Rivlin . The Domenici - Rivlin panel created a report called `` Restoring America 's Future , '' which was published in November 2010 . The plan claimed to stabilize the debt to GDP ratio at 60 % , with up to $6 trillion in debt avoidance over the 2011 - 2020 period . Specific plan elements included defense and non-defense spending freezes for 4 -- 5 years , income tax reform , elimination of tax expenditures , and a national sales tax or value - added tax ( VAT ) . The Hamilton Project published a guidebook with 15 different proposals from various policy and budget experts in February , 2013 . The authors were asked to provide pragmatic , evidenced - based proposals that would both reduce the deficit and bring broader economic benefits . Proposals included a value added tax and reductions to tax expenditures , among others . Timing of Solutions ( edit ) There is significant debate regarding the urgency of addressing the short - term and long - term budget challenges . Prior to the 2008 - 2009 U.S. recession , experts argued for steps to be put in place immediately to address an unsustainable trajectory of federal deficits . For example , Fed Chair Ben Bernanke stated in January 2007 : `` The longer we wait , the more severe , the more draconian , the more difficult the objectives are going to be . I think the right time to start was about 10 years ago . '' However , experts after the 2008 - 2009 U.S. recession argued that longer - term austerity measures should not interfere with measures to address the short - term economic challenges of high unemployment and slow growth . Ben Bernanke wrote in September 2011 : `` ... the two goals -- achieving fiscal sustainability , which is the result of responsible policies set in place for the longer term , and avoiding creation of fiscal headwinds for the recovery -- are not incompatible . Acting now to put in place a credible plan for reducing future deficits over the long term , while being attentive to the implications of fiscal choices for the recovery in the near term , can help serve both objectives . '' IMF managing director Christine Lagarde wrote in August 2011 : `` For the advanced economies , there is an unmistakable need to restore fiscal sustainability through credible consolidation ( deficit reduction ) plans . At the same time we know that slamming on the brakes too quickly will hurt the recovery and worsen job prospects . So fiscal adjustment must resolve the conundrum of being neither too fast nor too slow . Shaping a Goldilocks fiscal consolidation is all about timing . What is needed is a dual focus on medium - term consolidation and short - term support for growth and jobs . That may sound contradictory , but the two are mutually reinforcing . Decisions on future consolidation , tackling the issues that will bring sustained fiscal improvement , create space in the near term for policies that support growth and jobs .

In this way the budget of 2013 is submitted before the end of September 2012 . This means that the budget of 2001 was submitted by Bill Clinton and was in force during most of George W. Bush 's first year in office . The budget submitted by George W. Bush in his last year in office was the budget of 2009 , which was in force through most of Barack Obama 's first year in office . The President 's budget also contains revenue and spending projections for the current fiscal year , the coming fiscal years , as well as several future fiscal years . In recent years , the President 's budget contained projections five years into the future . The Congressional Budget Office ( CBO ) issues a `` Budget and Economic Outlook '' each January and an analysis of the President 's budget each March . CBO also issues an updated budget and economic outlook in August .

when does the federal budget year begin and end
[ "The budget document often begins as the President's proposal to the U.S. Congress which recommends funding levels for the next fiscal year, beginning October 1 and ending on September 30 of the year following. The fiscal year is named for the year in which it ends. However, Congress is the body required by law to pass appropriations annually and to submit funding bills passed by both houses to the President for signature. Congressional decisions are governed by rules and legislation regarding the federal budget process. Budget committees set spending limits for the House and Senate committees and for Appropriations subcommittees, which then approve individual appropriations bills to allocate funding to various federal programs.[2]" ]

The song had the same producers of Alex Christensen and Peter Könemann , hence the similar melody to `` Around The World ( La La La La La ) '' . It was first available mainly in Europe on September 2 , 2000 , and had multiple Top 40 peaks across the continent . Despite the single 's moderate success , it never surpassed the peak positions of `` Around The World ( La La La La La ) '' in any country . The single was first released with the title `` My Heart Beats Like A Drum ( Dam Dam Dam ) , '' but all future releases were dubbed `` My Heart Beats Like A Drum ( Dum Dum Dum ) . '' Music video ( edit ) A music video for the song was released on the same day as the audio release . It features the four original singers , Tracey , Joey , Sarah and Livio in a room with red , blue , green , walls , and windows , the latter of which has a zebra print on one side with a purple ceiling . The members of ATC are seen mostly dancing in gold shining clothes . Every time the `` Dum Dum Dum '' hook is sung , the members first raise their arms above their heads , then lower them to their torso , and finally lower them to their thighs . The scenes without the choreography show two of the singers walking on the ceilings ( done via rotating the camera upside down ) , with the last minute of the video having all four band members dance upside down on the purple ceiling .

Production ( edit ) Top of the Lake ( edit ) Actress Jennifer Ehle auditioned for the role of GJ , which went to Holly Hunter . Jane Campion originally offered the role of Robin to Anna Paquin , who had worked with her on The Piano ( 1993 ) . Paquin declined due to her pregnancy , and the role went to Elisabeth Moss . The series was originally intended as a co-production with the Australian Broadcasting Corporation . But after American - born Elisabeth Moss was cast , the network pulled their funding before production began , citing a prior agreement to put an Australian actress in the lead . Australian - based channel UKTV , owned by BBC Worldwide , filled the funding gap left by the ABC . Philippa Campbell was the New Zealand - based producer . Filming took 18 weeks and was shot entirely on location in Queenstown and Glenorchy , in Otago , on the South Island of New Zealand . While Queenstown is referred to during the series , Glenorchy doubles as the fictitious town of Laketop . The scenes in the women 's commune were filmed at Moke Lake . Top of the Lake : China Girl ( edit ) In early 2013 , co-creator Jane Campion said that Top of the Lake comes to a distinct ending , and there would be no additional series . Despite this , it was announced in October 2014 that the series had been renewed for a second season . China Girl began shooting on location in Sydney , Australia in December 2015 . Campion returned as co-writer and co-director . Gerard Lee returned as co-writer . The original co-director , Garth Davis , was replaced by Ariel Kleiman due to scheduling conflicts . Philippa Campbell returned as producer . Actress Nicole Kidman joined the cast for China Girl , which is the second time she has worked with Campion . Kidman `` plays an Australian mother , Julia , whose story dovetails with that of Detective Robin Griffin '' , played by Elisabeth Moss . Christie , a fan of Campion 's The Piano , joined the cast after sending a letter through a mutual friend .

It is the fourteenth film in the Marvel Cinematic Universe ( MCU ) . The film was directed by Scott Derrickson , who wrote it with Jon Spaihts and C. Robert Cargill , and stars Benedict Cumberbatch as the titular character , along with Chiwetel Ejiofor , Rachel McAdams , Benedict Wong , Michael Stuhlbarg , Benjamin Bratt , Scott Adkins , Mads Mikkelsen , and Tilda Swinton . In Doctor Strange , surgeon Strange learns the mystic arts after a career - ending car accident . Various incarnations of a Doctor Strange film had been in development since the mid-1980s , until Paramount Pictures acquired the film rights in April 2005 , on behalf of Marvel Studios . Thomas Dean Donnelly and Joshua Oppenheimer were brought on board in June 2010 to write a screenplay . In June 2014 , Derrickson was hired to direct and re-write the film with Spaihts . Cumberbatch was chosen for the eponymous role in December 2014 , necessitating a schedule change to work around his other commitments . This gave Derrickson time to work on the script himself , for which he brought Cargill on to help . The film began principal photography in November 2015 in Nepal , before moving to the United Kingdom , Hong Kong , and concluding in New York City in April 2016 . Doctor Strange had its world premiere in Hong Kong on October 13 , 2016 , and was released in the United States on November 4 , 2016 , in 3D and IMAX 3D . The film grossed over $677 million worldwide , and was met with praise for its visuals and cast , but also received criticism for the title character 's origin story . These positive elements also received awards intention , including an Academy Award nomination for Best Visual Effects .

They steal a few pages from an ancient , mystical text belonging to the Ancient One , a long - lived sorcerer who has taught every student at Kamar - Taj , including Kaecilius , in the mystic arts . The Ancient One pursues the traitors , but Kaecilius and his followers escape . In New York City , Stephen Strange , a wealthy , acclaimed , and arrogant neurosurgeon , severely injures his hands in a car accident , leaving him unable to operate . Fellow surgeon and former lover Christine Palmer tries to help him move on , but Strange vainly pursues experimental surgeries to heal his hands , nearly bankrupting himself . Strange learns about Jonathan Pangborn , a paraplegic who mysteriously regained use of his legs . Pangborn directs Strange to Kamar - Taj , where he is taken in by Mordo , a sorcerer under the Ancient One . The Ancient One demonstrates her power to Strange , revealing the astral plane and other dimensions such as the Mirror Dimension . She reluctantly agrees to train Strange , whose arrogance and ambition remind her of Kaecilius . Strange studies under the Ancient One and Mordo , and from ancient books in the library that is now guarded by Master Wong . Strange learns that Earth is protected from threats from other dimensions by a shield generated from three buildings called Sanctums , in New York City , London , and Hong Kong , which are all connected and accessible from Kamar - Taj . The sorcerers ' task is to protect the Sanctums , though Pangborn instead chose to channel mystical energy only into walking again . Strange progresses quickly , and secretly reads the text from which Kaecilius stole pages , learning to bend time with the mystical Eye of Agamotto . Mordo and Wong warn Strange against breaking the laws of nature , drawing a comparison to Kaecilius ' desire for eternal life . Kaecilius uses the stolen pages to contact Dormammu of the Dark Dimension , where time is non-existent . Kaecilius destroys the London Sanctum to weaken Earth 's protection . The zealots then attack the New York Sanctum , killing its guardian , but Strange holds them off with the help of the Cloak of Levitation until Mordo and the Ancient One arrive . Strange and Mordo become disillusioned with the Ancient One after Kaecilius reveals that the Ancient One 's long life is due to her drawing power from the Dark Dimension . After a fight in the Mirror Dimension of New York , Kaecilius mortally wounds the Ancient One and escapes to Hong Kong . Before dying , she tells Strange that he too will have to bend the rules to complement Mordo 's steadfast nature in order to defeat Kaecilius . Strange and Mordo arrive in Hong Kong to find Wong dead , the Sanctum destroyed , and the Dark Dimension engulfing Earth . Strange uses the Eye to reverse time and save Wong , then enters the Dark Dimension and creates a time loop around himself and Dormammu . After repeatedly killing Strange to no avail , Dormammu finally gives in to Strange 's demand that he leave Earth and take Kaecilius and his zealots with him in return for Strange breaking the loop . Disillusioned by Strange and the Ancient One defying nature 's laws , Mordo departs . Strange returns the Eye to Kamar - Taj , and takes up residence in the New York Sanctum to continue his studies . In a mid-credits scene , Strange decides to help Thor , who has brought his brother Loki to Earth to search for their father Odin . In a post-credits scene , Mordo confronts Pangborn and steals the mystical energy that he uses to walk , declaring that Earth has `` too many sorcerers '' . Cast ( edit ) Left to right : Cumberbatch , Derrickson , Swinton , McAdams , Ejiofor , Mikkelsen , and Wong at the 2016 San Diego Comic - Con Benedict Cumberbatch as Dr. Stephen Strange : A neurosurgeon who , after a car accident that led to a journey of healing , discovers the hidden world of magic and alternate dimensions . Cumberbatch described Strange as arrogant , with the film `` about him going from a place where he thinks he knows it all to realizing he knows nothing . '' He compared the character to the version of Sherlock Holmes that he portrays in Sherlock , calling both characters `` intelligent '' and having `` smatterings of the same colors '' . The film 's mysticism resonated with Cumberbatch , for whom spirituality has been important since he spent his gap year teaching English at a Tibetan Buddhist monastery in Darjeeling , India . Strange 's abilities in the film include casting spells with `` tongue - twisty fun names '' , creating mandalas of light for shields and weapons , and creating portals for quick travel around the world . Strange is also aided by a Cloak of Levitation for flight , and the Eye of Agamotto , a relic containing an Infinity Stone that can manipulate time . Cumberbatch took great care in defining the physical movements and gestures for the spells , knowing that they would be noted and studied by fans . He described these gestures as `` balletic '' and `` very dynamic '' , and received help with finger - tutting movements from dancer JayFunk . Chiwetel Ejiofor as Karl Mordo : A Master of the Mystic Arts , close to the Ancient One and a mentor to Strange . This version of Mordo is a combination of different characters from the Doctor Strange mythos , and unlike in the comics is not introduced as villainous . Ejiofor noted this , calling Mordo `` a very complex character that , really , I do n't think can be nailed down either way '' . Director Scott Derrickson added that the change in character stemmed from casting Ejiofor and conversations the director had with him . Ejiofor described Mordo 's relationship with the Ancient One as `` long and intense '' , while noting a `` growing respect '' between the character and Strange , until `` things get complicated '' . Derrickson felt Mordo was a fundamentalist , saying `` When someone gives themselves over to an extraordinarily strict moral code , the process of breaking out of that is a violent one . He becomes disillusioned with the Ancient One 's ( moral contradictions ) . The difference is Strange can accept that contradiction . Mordo can not cope with it , '' which leads to the `` antagonism between Mordo and Strange '' to explore in future films . Discussing the diversity of the film 's cast when addressing the controversial casting of the characters the Ancient One and Wong , Derrickson was confident that the decision to cast Ejiofor as Mordo , and thus changing the character `` from white to black '' , was the right one to make . Rachel McAdams as Christine Palmer : An emergency surgeon , initially written as a love interest for Strange , but shortly before filming Derrickson suggested that this trope be subverted by making the two characters lovers as part of their backstory , and coming `` out the other side of it as friends '' . McAdams described this dynamic by saying , `` The love is between them no matter what stage they 're at in the actual relationship . '' With this change in characterization , producer Kevin Feige described Palmer as a `` lynchpin to ( Strange 's ) old life , once he steps into the role of a sorcerer . She is someone he connects with at the beginning , and reconnects with , and helps anchor his humanity . '' He explained that having this character be a `` connection to Strange 's life in New York City , in the normal world '' after his journey was important to the studio , which is why Palmer was chosen for the character over the more prominent , but more fantastical character Clea . Palmer is also known as the hero Night Nurse in the comics , a storyline that does not play into the film , but that Feige hinted could be explored in future films . Rosario Dawson portrays another Night Nurse character , Claire Temple , in Marvel 's Netflix television series . Benedict Wong as Wong : A Master of the Mystic Arts , tasked with protecting some of Kamar - Taj 's most valuable relics and books . The character is depicted in the comics as Strange 's Asian , `` tea - making manservant '' , a racial stereotype that Derrickson did not want in the film , and so the character was not included in the film 's script . After the non-Asian actress Tilda Swinton was cast as the other significant Asian character from the Doctor Strange comics , the Ancient One -- which was also done to avoid the comics ' racial stereotypes -- Derrickson felt obligated to find a way to include Wong in the film . The character as he ultimately appears is `` completely subverted as a character and reworked into something that did n't fall into any of the stereotypes of the comics '' , which Derrickson was pleased gave an Asian character `` a strong presence in the movie '' . Actor Wong was also pleased with the changes made to the character , and described him as `` a drill sergeant to Kamar - Taj '' rather than a manservant . He does not practice martial arts in the film , avoiding another racial stereotype . Derrickson added that Wong will have `` a strong presence in the Marvel Cinematic Universe '' moving forward . Michael Stuhlbarg as Nicodemus West : A rival surgeon to Strange . Benjamin Bratt as Jonathan Pangborn : A paraplegic who learned from the Ancient One how to heal himself through the mystic arts . Scott Adkins as Lucian : One of Kaecilius ' followers . Mads Mikkelsen as Kaecilius : A Master of the Mystic Arts who broke away from the Ancient One . A combination of several antagonists from the comics , Kaecilius was used in the film to drive the introduction and development of bigger villains for the future , including `` certain individuals who live in other dimensions '' . Derrickson compared this dynamic to that of Saruman and Sauron in The Lord of the Rings , giving the film a `` huge and fantastical '' villain like Sauron , but also having `` human relateability '' with Kaecilius , like Saruman , for Strange to face throughout the film . Derrickson admitted that Marvel 's villains are often criticized , and noted that MCU films dedicate little time to developing antagonists . For Doctor Strange , he just hoped to show `` Kaecilius 's point of view and what makes him tick '' in the time that he could , feeling that the character is a `` man of ideas '' with `` watertight logic '' like John Doe from Seven and the Joker from The Dark Knight . On these motivations , Feige explained that Kaecilius believes the Ancient One is a hypocrite , protecting her own power base , and that the world may be better off `` if we were to allow some of these other things through . '' Mikkelsen 's makeup took between 2 -- 3 hours to apply . Tilda Swinton as the Ancient One : A Celtic mystic , who becomes Strange 's mentor . The character in the comics is a Tibetan man , a situation which co-writer C. Robert Cargill compared to the Kobayashi Maru , an unwinnable training exercise in the Star Trek universe . He explained that adapting the character as the comics portrayed him would be realizing the major Asian Fu Manchu stereotype , and would involve the film with the Tibetan sovereignty debate , but not giving one of few significant Asian roles to an Asian actor would also understandably be received negatively . Derrickson wanted to change the character to an Asian woman , but felt that an older Asian woman would invoke the Dragon Lady stereotype , while a younger Asian woman would be perceived as exploiting Asian fetish and `` a fanboy 's dream girl '' . To avoid the character filling any of those three stereotypes , or enabling the stereotype of a `` Western character coming to Asia to learn about being Asian '' , Derrickson decided to cast a non-Asian actor in the role , but to still take the opportunity to cast `` an amazing actress in a male role '' . Feeling that Swinton was the obvious choice to play `` domineering , secretive , ethereal , enigmatic , ( and ) mystical '' , Derrickson wrote the Ancient One in the film specifically for the actress , before she was offered the role . Additionally , though the film uses the terms `` her '' and `` she '' , Swinton chose to portray the character as androgynous , while Feige explained that the Ancient One and Sorcerer Supreme are mantles in the film held by multiple characters through time , so a more comic - accurate Ancient One could exist within the MCU . Still , Swinton 's casting was widely criticized as whitewashing . In response to this , Derrickson said that though he was pleased with the diversity of the film 's cast , in terms of both gender and ethnicity , `` Asians have been whitewashed and stereotyped in American cinema for over a century and people should be mad or nothing will change . What I did was the lesser of two evils , but it is still an evil . '' Cumberbatch also portrays , uncredited , the villainous entity Dormammu . The actor suggested he take on the role to Derrickson , feeling that having the character be a `` horrific '' reflection of Strange would work better than just `` being a big ghoulish monster '' . The director agreed , elaborating that the casting implies that Dormammu does not have a normal physical form in his own dimension , and so is simply imitating Strange for their confrontation . To create the character , Cumberbatch provided motion - capture reference for the visual effects team , and his voice was blended with that of another uncredited British actor , whom Derrickson described as having `` a very deep voice '' . The producers also had Tony Todd record voice over for Dormammu as an alternative to Cumberbatch , but ultimately decided on using Cumberbatch for the voice . Chris Hemsworth reprises his role of Thor from previous MCU films in the film 's mid-credits scene . Additionally , Linda Louise Duan appears , unnamed , as Tina Minoru , Mark Anthony Brighton portrays Daniel Drumm , and Topo Wresniwiro portrays Hamir , all Masters of the Mystic Arts under the Ancient One . The latter is based on Hamir the Hermit , Wong 's father in the comics , who was the Ancient One 's personal manservant . The character is neither a manservant nor Wong 's father in the film . Zara Phythian , Alaa Safi , and Katrina Durden portray zealots under Kaecilius , and Pat Kiernan appears as himself . Doctor Strange co-creator Stan Lee makes a cameo appearance as a bus rider reading Aldous Huxley 's The Doors of Perception . Amy Landecker was cast as anesthesiologist Bruner , but the majority of her role was cut from the finished film . Production ( edit ) Development ( edit ) A film based on the Marvel Comics character Doctor Strange was initially listed as being in development at New World Pictures , with a script dated January 21 , 1986 by Bob Gale . For unknown reasons , Gale 's film never went further into production . By 1989 , Alex Cox had co-written a script with Doctor Strange co-creator Stan Lee . The script had the character traveling to the Fourth Dimension before facing the villain Dormammu on Easter Island , Chile . A film using this script was almost made by Regency , but the company 's films were distributed by Warner Bros. at the time , which was in a dispute with Marvel over merchandising . By December 1992 , Wes Craven had signed to write and direct Doctor Strange for release in either 1994 or 1995 , with Savoy Pictures distributing . In 1995 , David S. Goyer had completed a script for the film . By April 1997 , Columbia Pictures had purchased the film rights and Jeff Welch was working on a new screenplay , with Bernie Brillstein and Brad Grey producing . By April 2000 , Columbia dropped Doctor Strange , which then had Michael France attached to write a script and interest from Chuck Russell and Stephen Norrington to direct . By June 2001 , Dimension Films acquired the film rights , with Goyer back on board as writer and director . Goyer hinted scheduling conflicts might ensue with a film adaptation of Murder Mysteries , and promised not to be highly dependent on computer - generated imagery . However , by August 2001 , Miramax acquired the film rights from Dimension , and by March 2002 , Goyer had dropped out of the project . A 2005 release date was announced the next March , while in June 2004 , a script still had yet to be written . Marvel Studios CEO Avi Arad stated , `` We are nowhere with that . That 's a tough one to write , but we are working on it . We are trying to find the real Jerry Garcia of the writing community . '' In April 2005 , Paramount Pictures acquired Doctor Strange from Miramax , as part of Marvel Studios ' attempt to independently produce their own films . At the time , the film was projected to have a budget of no more than $165 million . In March 2009 , Marvel hired writers to help come up with creative ways to launch its lesser - known properties , including Doctor Strange . In June 2010 , Marvel Studios hired Thomas Dean Donnelly and Joshua Oppenheimer to write Doctor Strange . While promoting Transformers : Dark of the Moon in April 2011 , actor Patrick Dempsey indicated he was lobbying to play the title character . In January 2013 , Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige confirmed that Doctor Strange would appear in some capacity as part of `` Phase Three '' of the Marvel Cinematic Universe . Feige then reiterated that a Doctor Strange feature film was in development at Marvel Studios that May , and again in November . In February 2014 , The Hollywood Reporter wrote that Marvel was considering Mark Andrews , Jonathan Levine , Nikolaj Arcel and Dean Israelite to direct the film , and was considering Jonathan Aibel and Glenn Berger to rewrite the film 's script . Feige denied this report , but confirmed that Marvel was considering prospective candidates . By March , Marvel was considering Andrews , Levine , and Scott Derrickson to direct the film . Pre-production ( edit ) I think when you consider the work that I 've done it makes sense that he 'd be my favorite comic book character , at least in the Marvel universe . Probably the only comic character in that mainstream world that I 'm suited to . I feel such an affinity for the character and the story and the ambition of those comics , especially the original Stan Lee and Steve Ditko Strange Tales -- I think those are my favorite of all of them . The entire history of the comics is extraordinary . -- Scott Derrickson , director of Doctor Strange In June 2014 , Derrickson was chosen to direct the film . He had written a 12 - page scene for the film featuring Strange and an assailant fighting in the astral plane while a doctor attempts to save Strange 's physical body in a hospital , based on a sequence from the comic Doctor Strange : The Oath . Derrickson illustrated the sequence with his own concept art , alongside storyboards from professional artists and an animatic , which he presented in a 90 - minute pitch to the studio . This cost Derrickson an `` obnoxious amount '' of his own money , but he felt it necessary to prove `` that I wanted ( the job ) more than anyone '' , especially after Marvel told him that more people had lobbied to direct Doctor Strange than any of their other films . Derrickson ultimately had eight meetings with Marvel for the film . After he was hired , Marvel bought the 12 - page scene from Derrickson , and it became one of the film 's main set pieces . On transitioning from horror films to a superhero film , Derrickson said , `` It was nice to work on something more positive . And not have my headspace in something so dark for so long . But it was also weirdly similar because of the fantastical nature of the movie '' . In his horror films , Derrickson tried to use `` real characters and real character drama played by good actors ... ( to ) encounter the fantastical '' , and so he wanted actors of the same high caliber for Doctor Strange through which he could introduce the more fantastical elements to the MCU . Derrickson and Marvel had originally discussed him writing the film alongside his Sinister co-writer C. Robert Cargill , with Derrickson also directing , but Marvel felt that they would not be able to reach their intended release date of July 2016 if Derrickson filled both roles . When Derrickson was chosen as director , Marvel passed on Cargill as an individual writer , with Jon Spaihts hired to rewrite the script instead . Spaihts , a big fan of Doctor Strange as a child , had started `` pestering '' Marvel as soon as he read reports of the company searching for a director for the film . This eventually led to him meeting with the studio , before they actually began looking for writers for the film . Spaihts said that they talked `` all afternoon , and the fit was right '' , but he received a call from Marvel several days later saying that they were not completely sure they wanted to take the film in the same direction as Spaihts , and were going to look at other writers . Spaihts told his agent to not `` take that answer . Call them back , tell them there 's a lot of right answers , and get me back in the room '' , and after talking with Marvel for `` another three or four hours '' he was given the job . Marvel never seriously looked at any other writer for the film . Derrickson was already hired when Spaihts joined , and the pair spent several months working on the film 's story with Feige and executive producer Stephen Broussard . They started writing the film from the beginning , and initially were unsure whether it would be an origin story , or if it would begin with Strange already as a `` fully - formed '' sorcerer . Spaihts ultimately felt that `` the origin story of this character , as depicted in the comics , is so operatic and beautiful , and so tragic and epic in its sweep , that it was unavoidable . We had to tell that story , and tell our best version of it . '' Elements from Spaihts ' early drafts that he later stated were still in the final film include many of the film 's set pieces , such as the climactic battle , which came straight from Derrickson , as well as `` little things '' from Spaihts , `` like a bandaged hand running down a row of prayer bells in a Nepalese temple . '' Derrickson wanted Nightmare to be the film 's antagonist , along with the concept of `` nightmares themselves as being a dimension '' , but Feige felt `` getting across the idea of the Dream Dimension as another dimension '' would have been challenging alongside everything else that the film introduces . Dormammu , `` the most present villain in the comics '' , became the film 's main villain . During the early development process , Marvel , Derrickson , and Spaihts all envisioned Benedict Cumberbatch playing the title role . By the end of June , Marvel had reportedly been looking at Tom Hardy and Jared Leto for the film 's lead as well , while Édgar Ramírez , who worked with Derrickson on 2014 's Deliver Us from Evil , had discussed a possible role with the director . In July , after fans and the media had also championed Cumberbatch for the role of Doctor Strange , the actor explained at the 2014 San Diego Comic - Con International that he would be unable to accept the role due to commitments to other projects . Feige stated that a lead actor would be announced `` relatively quickly '' , and by the end of that month Joaquin Phoenix entered talks to play the character . By September 2014 , Marvel Studios was in negotiations to shoot Doctor Strange at Pinewood - Shepperton in the UK , with crews being assembled for a move into Shepperton Studios in late 2014 / early 2015 , for filming in May 2015 . Negotiations with Phoenix ended in October 2014 , as the actor felt that blockbuster films would never be `` fulfilling '' , with `` too many requirements that went against ( his ) instincts for character . '' Marvel then placed Leto , Ethan Hawke , Oscar Isaac , Ewan McGregor , Matthew McConaughey , Jake Gyllenhaal , Colin Farrell , and Keanu Reeves on their shortlist for the character . Ryan Gosling also had discussions to play the character , while Reeves was not approached about the role , and Cumberbatch was still considered to be in contention . In October , Cumberbatch entered negotiations to play the character , and was officially cast in December . Feige explained that Marvel had kept returning to him for the role while considering other actors , with Derrickson noting that even during discussions with Phoenix , he and Marvel still wanted to cast Cumberbatch in the role . The company eventually decided to change the film 's production schedule to fit around Cumberbatch 's commitments , allowing him to join the project . Derrickson promoting Doctor Strange at the 2016 San Diego Comic - Con International With the film 's new production schedule , its intended release date was pushed back to November 2016 , and Derrickson was able to do some work on the script himself . He brought Cargill in to work with him on this as was originally planned . Describing the film , Cargill called it both a superhero film and a fantasy film , saying `` it 's a very magical fantasy universe , but at the same time it plays by some of the superhero tropes that people enjoy . '' Spaihts returned later in the process to `` do some more writing and help bring the movie home '' , and said he was `` delighted '' by the work that Derrickson and Cargill had done in the interim . Feige and Derrickson have noted that , in addition to The Oath and Steve Ditko 's original work on Doctor Strange , an influence on all the film 's writers was the Doctor Strange comic book Into Shamballa . In January 2015 , Chiwetel Ejiofor entered preliminary talks with Marvel for a role in the film , later revealed to be Baron Mordo . Ejiofor 's role was confirmed during the 2015 D23 Expo . In April , Derrickson and members of the production team visited New York City to scout potential filming locations , while Feige revealed that filming would begin that November . A month later , Tilda Swinton was in talks to play the Ancient One . In June 2015 , Derrickson announced that he was going to London to begin work on the film , and Feige confirmed that Strange 's Sanctum Sanctorum would appear , located on Bleecker Street in New York City 's Greenwich Village , as in the comics . Swinton confirmed her role in the film in July , when Rachel McAdams was being considered for the female lead . McAdams cautioned that `` it 's still super-early , and I do n't know where that 's gon na go , if it 's gon na go anywhere at all '' , but she ultimately confirmed her role during the 2015 Toronto International Film Festival . Mads Mikkelsen entered into early negotiations to play a villain in August , `` one of a number of actors being considered for the unspecified villianous role . '' In September 2015 , Guardians of the Galaxy director James Gunn stated that many of the crew that worked on that film were unable to return for its sequel , because they had committed to Doctor Strange . Derrickson also revealed that Gunn had provided notes on the script , beyond the general conversing the MCU directors have between themselves for their films . At the end of the month , Feige stated that additional casting announcements would be made `` before the end of the year '' , and by early November , Michael Stuhlbarg entered negotiations to appear in the film as Nicodemus West , a rival of Strange . Derrickson had offered the role to Stuhlbarg because he was interested in working with the actor , and he agreed to join the cast after reading some Doctor Strange comics and being drawn to the character 's `` guilt - ridden arc '' where West `` blames himself for ruining the surgery on Strange 's hands and robbing him of his ability to operate '' . Feige felt that the visuals of the film needed `` to be a Ditko / Kubrick / Miyazaki / The Matrix mind - trip '' , and said that `` You do n't get into it in Harry Potter , but if a scientist went to Hogwarts he 'd find out how some of that stuff is happening ! We 're not going to spend a lot of time on that , but there will be some of that . And particularly for a character like Strange , who goes from a man of science to a man of faith and who traverses both worlds . '' In developing the film 's magic , Derrickson felt a responsibility to not repeat the representation of magic from previous films , like Fantasia and Harry Potter , wanting `` to find a new way to make it feel more tactical and real and surreal . And to root it in gestures as opposed to spoken incantations and things like that . '' Feige called Doctor Strange the `` doorway '' into the supernatural side of the MCU , a role that Derrickson noted was also served by the character in the early comics , when the Doctor Strange comics `` broke open the Marvel comic book universe into the Marvel multiverse '' . Discussing the portrayal of other dimensions in the film , Feige stated that it would not explore parallel realities like the comics ' `` Earth - 616 and Earth 617 '' , but would instead feature `` dimensions that are so mind - bending that you can barely perceive them '' , like the Astral plane , Dark Dimension , and Mirror Dimension . Astrophysicist Adam Frank served as a scientific consultant on the film , having already known Derrickson and been a Marvel fan since childhood . Frank advised on `` the human experience of space and time '' , helping Marvel conceive ideas for their cinematic multiverse , and suggesting dialogue for characters based on their beliefs , whether they were materialist , rationalist , reductionist , or `` had this enlarged perspective . '' He noted that modern movie goers may not necessarily understand these complex scientific ideas , but do appear to appreciate that `` amazing things happen from science . So by grounding your stories enough in science to not so much make them plausible , but to allow that science to open up new possibilities -- people are used to that in their lives . So I think it makes sense to them , and it 's exciting to them '' . This was an aspect of previous MCU films that Frank called a `` great thing ... speaking as a scientist '' , saying that `` they build a coherent and consistent universe that respects the scientific process and that uses enough of real science to make things plausible or build off them . '' Filming ( edit ) Principal photography began in Nepal on November 4 , 2015 , under the working title Checkmate . Ben Davis , serving as cinematographer for the film after doing the same on Guardians of the Galaxy and Avengers : Age of Ultron , described Doctor Strange as Marvel 's Fantasia , and noted that a lot of previsualization was required to figure out how to shoot the `` psychedelic '' , M.C. Escher - inspired imagery . Davis used the Arri Alexa 65 camera for the film , along with the Arri Alexa XT Plus . Vision Research Phantom Flex 4Ks , which shoot up to 1000 fps , were used for high speed sequences like Strange 's car crash . Cumberbatch filming Doctor Strange in Kathmandu , November 2015 Derrickson chose Nepal as a location to feature an `` Eastern city '' that would not be familiar to most audiences . After scouting and deciding on locations in the country , many of those areas were destroyed by the April 2015 Nepal earthquake . Rather than choosing another country , Derrickson and Cumberbatch felt that bringing attention and tourism to Nepal following the event `` was all the more reason to shoot there '' . Cumberbatch said that shooting in Nepal was `` absolutely vital to this film , I think not least because it 's so based in something that is exotic . It was a magical way to start the shoot . It 's important to a film like this -- which has a profound gearshift into a spiritual and otherworldly dimension -- that the portal for that be in a place that actually happens in itself to be incredibly spiritual and marvelous . '' The eventual filming locations around the Kathmandu Valley included the Pashupatinath and Swayambhunath Temples ; Thamel and New Road in Kathmandu ; and the Patan Durbar Square in Patan . Production moved to Longcross Studios in the UK on November 11 , and was scheduled to stay there until March 2016 . The real Kathmandu street that led into the fictional Kamar - Taj courtyard was replicated at Longcross , which production designer Charles Wood described as `` very hard because Kathmandu is a most beautiful city and it 's steeped in history . To transition from that level of detail and history , with the shape of the streets , the warping of the buildings , these ancient bricks and these ancient tiles , was a real challenge . '' For authenticity , the set was dressed with real food , and populated with dogs , pigeons , and Nepalese extras , many of whom were relatives of people who live on the real Kathmandu street . The inside of Kamar - Taj was also constructed at Longcross , with `` sculptors creating beautiful columns and wall decorations and craftsmen building screens and doors to evoke the exotic feel of the ancient sanctuary . '' Wood 's goal was to make the set feel like the Ancient One and her disciples actually lived there , and give it a `` truly spiritual , truly magical '' feel , while integrating it into a real building that the production filmed in Kathmandu . This and the Kathmandu street were two of twenty - one sets that the crew built at Longcross . Others included Doctor Strange 's Sanctum Sanctorum , and a Hong Kong street `` complete with over 80 neon signs and a giant roof to keep the rain out . '' Filming also took place in Hong Kong , and in New York City 's Hell 's Kitchen neighborhood . Additional New York City - set scenes were shot at Shepperton Studios , and later in London . By the end of November , the casting of Mikkelsen and Stuhlbarg was confirmed , alongside Amy Landecker and Scott Adkins in unspecified roles . Additionally , Benedict Wong heard about the film from his friend Ejiofor , and sought a role in it himself . He was cast as Wong in January , and immediately joined the production for filming . Lamborghini provided six Huracán LP 610 - 4s for use in the film , one of which the production wrecked during filming . Lamborghini said that they felt `` there are a lot of characteristics of Doctor Strange that are connected with the Lamborghini philosophy . '' The Lamborghini crash scene was filmed at Northfleet , Kent by the River Thames . Also in January 2016 , filming took place at Exeter College , Oxford . The next month , Feige revealed that the film originally had a prologue that took place in CERN , due to the real world research being done at the facility on alternate dimensions and parallel universes . Production moved to New York City 's Flatiron District in April , where set photos revealed that Zara Phythian had joined the cast . Principal photography wrapped in New York City on April 3 , 2016 . Post-production ( edit ) In June 2016 , a Diamond Select Toys press release for Doctor Strange toys , in their Marvel Minimates line , named Mikkelsen 's character Kaecilius and McAdams ' character Christine Palmer . Mikkelsen 's role was confirmed in an official tie - in comic for the film , while McAdams ' was confirmed at San Diego Comic Con 2016 . Additionally , Benjamin Bratt was revealed to have been cast as Jonathan Pangborn ; Adkins ' role was revealed to be Lucian , a follower of Kaecilius ; and Landecker 's role was later revealed to be anesthesiologist Dr. Bruner . The latter was mostly cut from the film , with Landecker explaining that she had been cast in the small role , for two scenes at the beginning of the film , because Derrickson was a fan of her performance in A Serious Man , which also starred Stuhlbarg . After filming her first scene , in which she assists Strange with a surgery , Landecker asked not to be involved in the other scene because she had no lines for it and was only seen from behind , and instead wished to attend a special premiere at the White House for her series Transparent . The actress believed she was later cut from the first scene , but she is still credited for a brief appearance . Also , Derrickson revealed that Lulu Wilson had been cast as Strange 's sister , for a scene depicting her drowning at a young age . The scene had been shot , and Derrickson thought it was `` great ( as a ) self - contained scene '' , but it `` did n't work '' with the rest of the film , and was cut . Also at San Diego Comic Con , Derrickson noted that there were still `` a couple pickup shoots '' to do for the film to `` clarify the logic '' . Further content for the film 's training sequence was also shot during these reshoots , as early test audiences `` loved ( the training portion of the film ) and wanted more '' . Wong indicated that the reshoots had been completed in August . Dan Harmon wrote material for these additional scenes , which Derrickson described as `` script analysis and dialogue work '' , not enough to receive credit in the film . Feige said that in addition to any humor that Harmon could add to the film , he was brought on to `` give us his opinions on the sci - fi concepts . '' Before the film 's sets were demolished , Thor : Ragnarok director Taika Waititi took advantage by writing and filming a scene featuring Strange meeting Chris Hemsworth 's Thor . The scene was for Ragnarok and shot before that film began production . Derrickson and Marvel felt the scene was `` kind of perfect '' to show Strange joining the wider MCU after his stand alone introduction , and so added it to Doctor Strange as a mid-credits scene . A post-credits scene , directed by Derrickson , teases Mordo 's role as an antagonist to Strange in a potential Doctor Strange sequel . Stan Lee 's cameo in the film was directed by Gunn on the set of Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 . This was alongside several other Lee cameos , to limit the amount of travel he had to do for the next four MCU films . Gunn contacted Derrickson during the shoot to ensure that the shot matched up with the respective Doctor Strange scene , and `` kept throwing lines at '' Lee on the day to give Derrickson and Marvel plenty of options to choose from for the film . Additional options Gunn filmed included : Lee reading a book and asking a gentleman next to him if he knew what the word excelsior meant ; Lee laughing really hard and stating he was laughing for no reason , being `` totally crazy '' ; and Lee laughing hysterically at a Garfield book , noting how the character `` HATES Mondays but he LOVES lasagna ! '' . Gunn felt the Garfield option was originally meant to appear in the final version of the film , but ended up being too long for the scene . By October 10 , 2016 , Derrickson had completed the film . Feige described the film 's use of 3D as serving the storytelling , saying , `` hopefully it helps bend people 's minds even more than with just the flat screen . '' He said that `` there are sequences of the film that 3D is actually necessary to tell the dimensional story that is happening through visuals '' . However , he noted that during visual effects reviews for the film it became apparent that these sequences were adversely affecting the story when viewed in 2D , which necessitated adjustments so the sequences would work in all formats . Over one hour of footage in the film was `` specially formatted '' for IMAX . Visual effects ( edit ) Visual effects for Doctor Strange were provided by Industrial Light & Magic ( ILM ) , Method Studios , Framestore , Lola VFX , Luma Pictures , Rise FX , Crafty Apes , and SPOV , contributing to 1450 effects shots . Previsualization was handled by The Third Floor . All vendors worked on the common magical elements ( mandalas , magical runes shields , whips , stalks and aerial ' lily pads ' , and portals ) . Visual effects supervisor Stephane Ceretti , who also worked on Guardians of the Galaxy , explained the similarities and differences between the two films , saying , `` there 's some resemblance in some of the things that we 've done . In the same way , it 's a totally different world . In ( Guardians ) , it 's more sci - fi oriented and crazy colors . More of a comedy kind of take on things as well . This one is a little bit more serious . It 's also a little bit more trippy . We use very different techniques , actually . Guardians was also for us a huge animation film . This one was less of it . This one was more about the environments and effects '' . Further discussing the film 's visuals , Derrickson described influences as `` the Steve Ditko , Stan Lee comics ( which ) were all about these weird visuals '' , as well as `` a fair amount of surrealist art and photography and M.C. Escher '' . Additional inspiration for the film 's visuals came from `` a bunch of experimental , fractal videos from YouTube '' that Derrickson found , and the mobile video game Monument Valley . Derrickson 's `` ambition was to use cutting - edge visual effects to do things that are fresh and new -- to not just blow things up . '' Feige explained that one of the more difficult areas to be inventive was the action sequences , as Derrickson did not want them `` to simply be : someone shoots a bolt of lightning , and someone blocks a ball of lightning , so someone throws another bolt of lightning ... '' Instead , they tried to incorporate the use of different dimensions into the action `` in the interest of creating a visual tapestry that is totally different in terms of an action scene we 've seen in any other movies . '' On the film 's set pieces , Derrickson reiterated that the film 's astral fight scene was based on The Oath comic , while adding that the end fight was `` an attempt to capture the quality of that artwork '' from the original comics , and the mirror dimension chase was an attempt to take Inception `` to the Nth degree and take it way more surreal and way farther . But I certainly owe something to that movie . '' Specifically for the climax of the film , Derrickson wanted to play on the superhero trope of `` a big fight scene where they 're tearing up a city , and there 's a portal opening up and they have to close it '' , subverting it by having the villain defeated with an intelligent use of power rather than showing `` which CGI thing can hit the other CGI thing harder '' . The Manhattan mirror sequence was mostly filmed on green screen ( top ) , with visual effects added by ILM ( bottom ) ILM worked on the folding Manhattan mirror sequence ( chosen because of their work creating a digital New York in The Avengers ) and the time fight sequence in Hong Kong , which consisted of 200 and 150 shots , respectively . They began work on the film 10 months before filming began to plan out the Manhattan sequence ; it was mainly CGI , though some New York location shots were used . The sequence was mainly handled by ILM 's San Francisco and Vancouver offices . The Hong Kong time sequence was done mainly by ILM 's London office . ILM also created digital doubles for many of the actors , which were shared with the other vendors . Method Studios , who worked on the Quantum Realm in Ant - Man , worked on the `` magical mystery tour '' sequence , with Strange hurtling through various dimensions . The sequence was handled by Method 's Los Angeles studio , with their Vancouver studio contributing the opening shot of the sequence . The only shot Method did not work on in the sequence was the one that linked to Dormammu , as Luma Pictures assisted in his creation ( they handled his other appearances in the film ) . Method created 7 dimensions for the sequence : the initial wormhole to the `` Speaker Cone '' ; the Bioluminesce world ; the fractals of `` soft solid '' world ; a version of the Quantum Realm ; Strange falling through his own eye and Cosmic Scream ; the Dark Dimension ; and the Shape Shifting realm . The Shape Shifting realm originally had Strange morphing and changing shape , but that was ultimately removed as Derrickson felt the audience needed to see Cumberbatch . Method 's Vancouver studio created Strange 's car crash , the rooftop training , and the sequence in which Strange experiments with time on an apple in the Kamar - Taj library . The car crash blended the high speed photography and some green screen sequences , with digital assets for both Cumberbatch and the car . In total , Method worked on 270 effects shots . Framestore was chosen to work on the Cloak of Levitation , due to their work creating Rocket in Guardians of the Galaxy . Ceretti called Cloak 's actions `` kind of scripted but not as deeply '' as the end result , and said that during the pre-visualization process `` we had a big discussion about the arc of the story of the Cloak in the film '' . Framestore also worked on environment shots , the Mandelbrot set sequences , high resolution digital doubles , the astral form , and the Crimson Bands of Cyttorak restraint for Kaecilius , totaling over 365 shots . Alexis Wajsbrot , Framestore 's CG Supervisor , called the astral form `` one of the hardest effects we 've had to deal with at Framestore ; finding the right balance of a look that was subtle but also beautiful . '' Lola VFX worked on the Zealots ' eyes , supplementing the make - up work with effects based on a geode . They also created digital tears for Kaecilius when he is in the Crimson Bands of Cyttorak . In addition to Dormammu and the Dark Dimension , Luma Pictures also created the first mirror sequence at the beginning of the film . In creating Dormammu , Ceretti stated that they wanted to avoid the fiery head look from the comics as `` it had been done before . The whole idea is he 's a character that lives in - between dimensions . He can also take whatever shapes he wants to take . ( When he is talking to Strange ) you can feel all these ripples in his face and all that stuff ... these kind of opening windows to other dimensions , and all the reflective qualities of it . We really wanted to add the evocation of that fire , but we did n't want to do fire so we went for ( a ) multicolored approach to try and keep the psychedelic ( look ) of the entire space . '' On the Dark Dimension , Ceretti said , `` We tried to make it alive all the time -- the whole idea of the Dark Dimension is that it 's a dynamic environment , '' with the Luma team referencing the Ditko art and a poster that when lit `` with a blacklight it becomes very saturated ( with ) colors , crazy blacklight colors . '' He continued , `` It was all about finding the right balance between all these elements to pay homage to and to tribute the work of Steve Ditko , but to make it more current to the 21st century . If you look at the detail of the shapes that we have in the Dark Dimension , you can almost point to things in the comic books ( that ) we really tried to be faithful to . '' Music ( edit ) Main article : Doctor Strange ( soundtrack ) In May 2016 , Michael Giacchino revealed that he would score the film . Derrickson called the score `` magic in the literal sense of the word , '' adding Giacchino `` is doing what good scorers do , which is he is not just creating music that supports the images , he 's adding a third thing to the movie . It becomes something new with his music in there that it did n't have with temp music . '' The score was recorded at Abbey Road Studios . During a recording session , Paul McCartney heard one of Giacchino 's cues being recorded and likened it to The Beatles song `` I Am the Walrus '' . Derrickson , a Bob Dylan fan , looked for a place in the film to include one of his songs , but could not find one . However , he was able to include the song `` Interstellar Overdrive '' by Pink Floyd . Derrickson had hoped to use either `` Interstellar Overdrive '' or The Jimi Hendrix Experience 's `` Are You Experienced ? '' for the film 's credits , but the royalties to use either in the credits were too expensive , resulting in Giacchino creating the track `` The Master of the Mystic End Credits '' . A soundtrack album from Hollywood Records was released digitally on October 21 , 2016 , with a physical release on November 18 , 2016 . Release ( edit ) Doctor Strange held its world premiere in Hong Kong on October 13 , 2016 , and had its premiere in Hollywood at the TCL Chinese Theatre and El Capitan Theatre on October 20 , 2016 . The film was released in the United Kingdom on October 25 , 2016 , alongside a total of 33 markets in its first weekend , with 213 IMAX screens in 32 of those markets . It was screened at the EW PopFest on October 28 , 2016 in Los Angeles . Doctor Strange 's North America release on November 4 took place in 3,882 venues , of which 3,530 were in 3D , along with 379 IMAX theaters , 516 premium large - format ( Disney 's biggest release in that format to date ) , and 189 D - Box locations . Overall , Doctor Strange had the widest IMAX release ever globally , along with being the first film to release on more than 1,000 IMAX screens . It was previously reported to have been scheduled for a July 8 , 2016 release , before the production schedule shifted to accommodate Cumberbatch 's other commitments . Marketing ( edit ) In August 2015 , a concept art trailer narrated by Derrickson was shown at the D23 Expo . The images showed artwork of Cumberbatch in a traditional Doctor Strange outfit from the comics , as well as a rough sequence of the plot , highlighting points such as Strange 's accident , his journey for healing , and fighting Ejiofor as Mordo ( before the character was moved away from a villainous role in the film per discussions between Derrickson and the actor ) . The trailer was met with `` a very big reaction from the gathered crowd . '' On April 12 , 2016 , the first teaser trailer for the film debuted on Jimmy Kimmel Live ! . Clark Collis of Entertainment Weekly compared the `` series of kaleidoscopic , world - bending scenes '' featured in the trailer to the film Inception , as did Scott Mendelson of Forbes . Forbes added that the structure of the trailer resembled early marketing for the film Batman Begins . The Hollywood Reporter 's Graeme McMillian criticised these similarities , as well as similarities to The Matrix and between Cumberbatch 's American accent and that of Hugh Laurie 's Gregory House from House , calling them not `` necessarily a real problem , of course ... ( but ) there 's nothing there outside the derivative aspects : due to the nature of the trailer , there 's no story beyond the ' white man finds enlightenment in Asia ' trope and barely any dialogue to let audiences decide that maybe the performances will elevate the material . '' McMillian did enjoy the visual effects and the visual of `` Tilda Swinton literally knock ( ing ) Benedict Cumberbatch 's soul out of his body , '' but concluded , `` as an introduction to not only a brand new franchise for Marvel , but a potential new genre , this feels far less bold and assured '' than the first trailer for Guardians of the Galaxy . In July 2016 , Marvel Comics released a prelude tie - in comic written by Will Corona Pilgrim , with art by Jorge Fornés . The issue sees four Masters of the Mystic Arts -- Kaecilius , Wong , Tina Minoru and Daniel Drumm -- pursue a woman who has stolen a mystical relic . A second issue , centered on the Ancient One training apprentices in the magical arts at Kamar - Taj , was released a month later . Derrickson , Cumberbatch , Swinton , Ejiofor , McAdams , Mikkelsen , and Wong attended San Diego Comic - Con 2016 , where they debuted an exclusive clip and the second trailer for the film . The next month , the same Comic - Con clip was screened at the Asia Pop Comic Convention Manila . In September 2016 , an additional prelude comic was released , centered on Kaecilius , while behind the scenes footage was released as a special feature on the Captain America : Civil War Blu - ray . Also in September , Marvel , in partnership with Dolby Laboratories , Broadcom , Synchrony Bank , and Society for Science & the Public , announced `` The Magic of STEM Challenge '' , aimed at females aged 15 through 18 in STEM ( Science , Technology , Engineering , and Mathematics education ) fields . The challenge was for contestants to submit videos of them finding mentors to explore ideas once thought to only be possible with magic . Five winners would attend the world premiere of the film , and receive a tour of Walt Disney Studios , as well as a $1,000 saving account from Synchrony Bank , with one grand prize winner receiving a mentorship with Walt Disney Studio 's Digital Team . On October 10 , 2016 , approximately 15 minutes of footage was screened at 115 IMAX 3D locations in North America , and select 3D and IMAX 3D locations worldwide . Fans attending the event received an exclusive IMAX poster for the film . Umberto Gonzales of TheWrap called the footage `` stunning to behold '' . He added that a sequence shown in which the Ancient One sends Strange `` on his first trippy tour through the multiverse '' was `` where the IMAX 3D really shines . The audience is given an incredible visual tour of the multiverse which features other dimensions and other realities . It really is something to behold in IMAX 3D , '' concluding that `` after being shown only 15 minutes of incredible preview footage , IMAX 3D is the definitive format to see the film . '' Britt Hayes for Screen Crush felt the footage was `` dizzying '' and `` far weirder and wilder than ( the ) trailers are letting on , '' though felt it was a bit difficult `` to judge some of what was shown out of context ( especially earlier scenes ) '' . Regarding the same sequence where the Ancient One sends Strange through the multiverse , Hayes said , `` Seth Rogen 's comedic drug trip sequences have nothing on the psychedelic visuals employed here . It 's astounding , elaborate stuff , and easily provides the most entertaining moments in the footage . '' IGN 's Terri Schwartz said the sequences shown were where `` Derrickson 's horror aesthetics shine through '' . Marvel provided Twitter stickers , Giphy content , Facebook Live , Snapchat lenses and filter , Tumblr stunts , and Instagram special content related to the film . Additionally , Microsoft Surface had a promotional sponsorship of the film , due to the use of the device in the filmmaking process . A partnership with Google 's Tilt Brush app featured a `` Mixed Reality '' `` stunt with artists across Los Angeles , London and Hong Kong , inspired by different dimensions in Doctor Strange and recreating the worlds in VR for an immersive visual experience . Home media ( edit ) Doctor Strange was released on digital download by Walt Disney Studios Home Entertainment on February 14 , 2017 , and on Blu - ray , Blu - ray 3D and DVD on February 28 , 2017 .

Best Buy released an exclusive collector 's edition steelbook case for the regular and 3D Blu - ray release , featuring art based on the Book of Cagliostro and the Eye of Agamotto . Target 's Blu - ray versions have an additional exclusive featurette , while the digital version also features an exclusive featurette . Reception ( edit ) Box Office ( edit ) Doctor Strange grossed $232.6 million in the United States and Canada and $445.1 million in other territories , for a worldwide total of $677.7 million . The film became the biggest IMAX opening in November domestically ( $12.2 million ) , internationally ( $24 million ) , and globally ( $24.2 million ) , overtaking Interstellar 's records . By November 27 , 2016 , the film had become the biggest single - character introduction film in the MCU . Deadline Hollywood calculated the net profit of the film to be $122.65 million , accounting for `` production budgets , P&A , talent participations and other costs , with box office grosses and ancillary revenues from '' home media , placing it 11th on their list of 2016 's `` Most Valuable Blockbusters '' . Doctor Strange earned $32.6 million on its opening day in the United States and Canada , including Thursday previews , with a total weekend gross of $85.1 million ; IMAX contributed $12.2 million to the opening weekend gross , with 3D contributing $24 million . The film was the number one film for the weekend , and became the second largest opening in November for Disney . Initial projections for the film in late August 2016 had it earning as low as $50 million to as high as $88 million in its opening weekend , with projections revised to $65 -- 75 million closer to the film 's release . Doctor Strange remained the top film in its second weekend , and fell to second in its third , behind Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them . In its fourth weekend , Doctor Strange was the third highest - grossing film , behind Fantastic Beasts and Moana . It fell to fifth in its fifth and sixth weekends , and by its seventh weekend had fallen to the ninth - highest - grossing place . It was projected to earn $255 million for its total domestic gross . Outside the United States and Canada , Doctor Strange earned $87.7 million in its first weekend from 33 markets , becoming the top film in all markets except Lithuania and Finland . South Korea was the top market overall with $18.1 million , locally the biggest opening weekend ever for an original Marvel release , along with an all - time best opening for an IMAX film . IMAX garnered a record $7.8 million , the best international IMAX debut for a film in the month of October , with Russia seeing its biggest Saturday IMAX gross for a Marvel film . Additionally , Hong Kong ( $3.2 million ) , Thailand ( $2.5 million ) , Malaysia ( $2.4 million ) , and Singapore ( $2.2 million ) also had the biggest opening weekend ever for an original Marvel film . In its second weekend , the film opened in 22 additional markets , becoming the top film in China with $44.4 million , the highest 3 - day opening weekend for a first installment superhero film there . China 's opening was also the third highest for an MCU film , behind Avengers : Age of Ultron and Captain America : Civil War , as well as the best 3 - day opening for an IMAX film in November with $6.3 million . IMAX also set November opening records in India , Chile , Colombia and Ecuador . Brazil was also a top market , earning $7.9 million . Doctor Strange remained the number one film in its third weekend for the third consecutive week in Denmark , the Netherlands , the United Kingdom , Australia , Hong Kong , South Korea , Malaysia , New Zealand , and Singapore , and number one for the second week in China and Russia . It also became the highest - grossing original MCU release in India , Hong Kong , South Korea , the Philippines , Singapore , Thailand and Vietnam . Its fourth weekend saw China 's total gross surpass $100 million , `` an increasingly rare feat in 2016 . '' The next weekend , Doctor Strange opened in Argentina , where it was the number one film and earned $1 million . The film 's fourteenth weekend saw it open in Japan , where it was number one with $4.5 million . As of December 4 , 2016 , the film 's largest markets were China ( $110.3 million ) , South Korea ( $41.3 million ) , and the United Kingdom and Ireland ( $27.9 million ) . Critical response ( edit ) The review aggregation website Rotten Tomatoes reports an 89 % approval rating , based on reviews from 317 critics , with an average rating of 7.3 / 10 . The website 's critical consensus reads , `` Doctor Strange artfully balances its outré source material against the blockbuster constraints of the MCU , delivering a thoroughly entertaining superhero origin story in the bargain . '' On Metacritic , the film holds a score of 72 out of 100 , based on reviews from 49 critics , indicating `` generally favorable reviews '' . Audiences polled by CinemaScore gave the film an average grade of `` A '' on an A+ to F scale , while PostTrak reported filmgoers gave it a 91 % overall positive score and a 73 % `` definite recommend '' . The Hollywood Reporter 's Todd McCarthy called Doctor Strange `` an engaging , smartly cast and sporadically eye - popping addition '' to the franchise , adding `` this action movie ostensibly rooted in the mind - expanding tenets of Eastern mysticism is different enough to establish a solid niche alongside the blockbuster combine 's established money machines . '' McCarthy , in addition to praising the acting , felt that there were certain sequences that `` go far beyond ( Inception ) in visual spectacle '' and that the time manipulation sequences , `` seen to outstanding advantage in 3D , ( were what ) mind - trip - seeking audiences back in Doctor Strange 's origin days would have called ' far - out ' but today 's fans will simply deem ' amazing ' . '' Peter Debruge of Variety called the film `` Marvel 's most satisfying entry since Spider - Man 2 , '' and wrote that despite having `` the same look , feel , and fancy corporate sheen '' as the other MCU films , it `` boasts an underlying originality and freshness missing from the increasingly cookie - cutter comic - book realm of late . '' Debruge also praised the casting along with the multitude of visual effects the film was able to achieve . Alonso Duralde , reviewing for TheWrap said , `` True , Doctor Strange is an origin story , and occasionally hemmed in by the genre 's narrative requirements , but it 's smart enough to bring in great British actors to make the predictable paces and life lessons feel fresh and fascinating . '' Regarding the film 's visuals , Duralde praised them , exclaiming , `` In a year where bloated , empty spectacles have induced a crushing level of CG fatigue , this funny , freaky adventure reminds us of how effective VFX can be when they 've got some imagination behind them . '' Manohla Dargis of The New York Times said , `` The giddily enjoyable Doctor Strange ... is part of Marvel 's strategy for world domination , yet it 's also so visually transfixing , so beautiful and nimble that you may even briefly forget the brand . Justin Chang of the Los Angeles Times said , `` Within the familiar narrative contours of the origin story , writer - director Scott Derrickson crams in enough out - of - body experiences , spatial - temporal shenanigans and dazzlingly kaleidoscopic visuals to make you wonder if he and his co-writers ... were dropping acid behind the scenes . '' Conversely , Angelica Jade Bastién , writing for RogerEbert.com , said , `` For all of its wondrous world - building and trippy effects , Doctor Strange is n't the evolutionary step forward for Marvel that it needs to be storytelling-wise . Underneath all of its improvements , the core narrative is something we 've seen countless times . '' Mara Reinstein of US Weekly called the film `` joyless '' and wrote , `` Despite ( Benedict Cumberbatch 's ) alluring powers , he ca n't save an overly convoluted film that relies on a galaxy of derivative 3 - D special - effect tricks ... Nobody is having much fun here -- save for the doctor 's Cloak of Levitation that has its own devilish personality and can whisk him out of scary situations . '' Rex Reed of the New York Observer called Doctor Strange `` an awkwardly cliché - riddled mix of hamstrung imagination and bizarro reality '' and said , `` None of it makes any sense ... For characterization , dialogue , narrative arc , acceptable acting and coherence , go elsewhere . '' Adam Graham of The Detroit News said , `` Cumberbatch is wildly charismatic in the lead role ... But that 's the thing : He 's a better party guest than he is a host . Doctor Strange is a fine introduction , but by the end , you 're not sad to be headed for the door .

In October 2016 , Derrickson confirmed he had plans for a sequel , saying , `` I love the character , I love the visual possibilities , and I know the comics so well -- ( the first movie is ) the tip of an iceberg . There 's so much progress that can be made . '' He would like to follow the example of The Dark Knight and `` bring in a villain where you really got to go deep ( and have ) a more visceral experience '' . Cumberbatch added that he had signed on for at least one more Doctor Strange solo film . Derrickson hoped to feature Nightmare in a potential sequel , and expressed interest in further exploring the characters Jonathan Pangborn and Hamir in a sequel , after their smaller roles in the first film . He also explained that he is `` kept in the loop '' on how the Avengers films will use Strange , because of his close relationships with Feige and co-director Joe Russo . Spaihts has also expressed interest in seeing Clea appear in a potential sequel .

The Christian doctrine of the Trinity ( Latin : Trinitas , lit . ' triad ' , from trinus , `` threefold '' ) holds that God is three consubstantial persons or hypostases -- the Father , the Son ( Jesus Christ ) , and the Holy Spirit -- as `` one God in three Divine Persons '' . The three persons are distinct , yet are one `` substance , essence or nature '' ( homoousios ) . In this context , a `` nature '' is what one is , whereas a `` person '' is who one is . The opposing view is referred to as Nontrinitarianism . According to this central mystery of most Christian faiths , there is only one God in three persons : while distinct from one another in their relations of origin ( as the Fourth Council of the Lateran declared , `` it is the Father who generates , the Son who is begotten , and the Holy Spirit who proceeds '' ) ; and in their relations with one another , they are stated to be one in all else , co-equal , co-eternal and consubstantial , and each is God , whole and entire . Accordingly , the whole work of creation and grace in Christianity is seen as a single operation common to all three divine persons , in which each shows forth what is proper to him in the Trinity , so that all things are `` from the Father '' , `` through the Son '' and `` in the Holy Spirit '' . Christian theologians believe that manifestations of the Trinity are made evident from the very beginning of the Bible . Genesis 1 : 1 - 3 posits God , His Spirit and the `` creative word of God '' together in the initial Genesis creation narrative account . While the Fathers of the Church saw Old Testament elements such as the appearance of three men to Abraham in Book of Genesis , chapter 18 , as foreshadowings of the Trinity , it was the New Testament that they saw as a basis for developing the concept of the Trinity . One of the most influential of the New Testament texts seen as implying the teaching of the Trinity was Matthew 28 : 19 , which mandated baptizing `` in the name of the Father , and of the Son , and of the Holy Spirit '' . Another New Testament text pointing to the Trinity was John 1 : 1 - 14 , in which the inter-relationships of the Triune God are reflected in the gospel author 's description of `` the Word '' , again showing the elements of the Triune God and their eternal ( always was , always is , and always shall be ) existence . ( Revelation 1 : 8 ) Reflection , proclamation , and dialogue led to the formulation of the doctrine that was felt to correspond to the data in the Bible . The simplest outline of the doctrine was formulated in the 4th century , largely in terms of rejection of what was considered not to be consonant with general Christian belief . Further elaboration continued in the succeeding centuries . Scripture does not contain the word Trinity , yet , an indication of three distinct persons can be found in 1 John 5 : 7 for the validity of which exist a controversy known as Comma Johanneum . Early Christian belief in the deity of Jesus Christ existed since the first century , in the writings of John the Apostle . ( John 1 : 1 ) Jesus is also quoted as attesting to being one but not equal with the Father . ( John 10 : 30 ) Subsequently , in the understanding of Trinitarian Christian theology , Scripture `` bears witness to '' the activity of a God who can only be understood in Trinitarian terms . The doctrine did not take its definitive shape until late in the fourth century . During the intervening period , various tentative solutions , some more and some less satisfactory , were proposed . Trinitarianism contrasts with nontrinitarian positions which include Binitarianism ( one deity in two persons , or two deities ) , Unitarianism ( one deity in one person , analogous to Jewish interpretation of the Shema and Muslim belief in Tawhid ) , Oneness Pentecostalism or Modalism ( one deity manifested in three separate aspects ) . Additionally , the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter - day Saints believes the Father , the Son , and the Holy Ghost are three separate deities , two of which possess separate bodies of flesh and bones , while the Holy Ghost has only a body of spirit ; and that their unity is not physical , but in purpose .

This abstract noun is formed from the adjective trinus ( three each , threefold , triple ) , as the word unitas is the abstract noun formed from unus ( one ) . The corresponding word in Greek is tριάς , meaning `` a set of three '' or `` the number three '' . The first recorded use of this Greek word in Christian theology was by Theophilus of Antioch in about 170 . He wrote : In like manner also the three days which were before the luminaries , are types of the Trinity ( Τριάδος ) , of God , and His Word , and His wisdom . And the fourth is the type of man , who needs light , that so there may be God , the Word , wisdom , man . Tertullian , a Latin theologian who wrote in the early 3rd century , is credited as being the first to use the Latin words `` Trinity '' , `` person '' and `` substance '' to explain that the Father , Son , and Holy Spirit are `` one in essence -- not one in Person '' . History ( edit ) Further information : Trinitarianism in the Church Fathers The earliest known depiction of the Trinity , Dogmatic Sarcophagus , AD 350 . Vatican Museums The Ante - Nicene Fathers asserted Christ 's deity and spoke of `` Father , Son and Holy Spirit '' , even though their language is not that of the traditional doctrine as formalised in the fourth century . Trinitarians view these as elements of the codified doctrine . Ignatius of Antioch provides early support for the Trinity around 110 , exhorting obedience to `` Christ , and to the Father , and to the Spirit '' . Justin Martyr ( AD 100 -- c. 165 ) also writes , `` in the name of God , the Father and Lord of the universe , and of our Saviour Jesus Christ , and of the Holy Spirit '' . The first of the early church fathers to be recorded using the word `` Trinity '' was Theophilus of Antioch writing in the late 2nd century . He defines the Trinity as God , His Word ( Logos ) and His Wisdom ( Sophia ) in the context of a discussion of the first three days of creation . The first defence of the doctrine of the Trinity was in the early 3rd century by the early church father Tertullian . He explicitly defined the Trinity as Father , Son , and Holy Spirit and defended the Trinitarian theology against the `` Praxean '' heresy . St. Justin and Clement of Alexandra used the Trinity in their doxologies and St. Basil likewise , in the evening lighting of lamps . Another early , and already more philosophic , formulation of the Trinity ( again without usage of that term ) is attributed to the Gnostic teacher Valentinus ( lived c. 100 -- c. 160 ) , who according to the fourth century theologian Marcellus of Ancyra , was `` the first to devise the notion of three subsistent entities ( hypostases ) , in a work that he entitled On the Three Natures . '' The highly allegorical exegesis of the Valentinian school inclined it to interpret the relevant scriptural passages as affirming a Divinity that , in some manner , is threefold . The Valentinian Gospel of Philip , which dates to approximately the time of Tertullian , upholds the Trinitarian formula . Whatever his influence on the later fully formed doctrine may have been , however , Valentinus 's school is rejected as heretical by orthodox Christians . Although there is much debate as to whether the beliefs of the Apostles were merely articulated and explained in the Trinitarian Creeds , or were corrupted and replaced with new beliefs , all scholars recognize that the Creeds themselves were created in reaction to disagreements over the nature of the Father , Son , and Holy Spirit . These controversies took some centuries to be resolved . Of these controversies , the most significant developments were articulated in the first four centuries by the Church Fathers in reaction to Adoptionism , Sabellianism , and Arianism . Adoptionism was the belief that Jesus was an ordinary man , born of Joseph and Mary , who became the Christ and Son of God at his baptism . In 269 , the Synods of Antioch condemned Paul of Samosata for his Adoptionist theology , and also condemned the term homoousios ( ὁμοούσιος , `` of the same being '' ) in the sense he used it . Sabellianism taught that the Father , the Son , and the Holy Spirit are essentially one and the same , the difference being simply verbal , describing different aspects or roles of a single being . For this view Sabellius was excommunicated for heresy in Rome c. 220 . In the fourth century , Arius , as traditionally understood , taught that the Father existed prior to the Son who was not , by nature , God but rather a changeable creature who was granted the dignity of becoming `` Son of God '' . In 325 , the Council of Nicaea adopted the Nicene Creed which described Christ as `` God of God , Light of Light , very God of very God , begotten , not made , being of one substance with the Father '' . The creed used the term homoousios ( of one substance ) to define the relationship between the Father and the Son . After more than fifty years of debate , homoousios was recognised as the hallmark of orthodoxy , and was further developed into the formula of `` three persons , one being '' . The third Council of Sirmium , in 357 , was the high point of Arianism . The Seventh Arian Confession ( Second Sirmium Confession ) held that both homoousios ( of one substance ) and homoiousios ( of similar substance ) were unbiblical and that the Father is greater than the Son . ( This confession was later known as the Blasphemy of Sirmium ) But since many persons are disturbed by questions concerning what is called in Latin substantia , but in Greek ousia , that is , to make it understood more exactly , as to ' coessential , ' or what is called , ' like - in - essence , ' there ought to be no mention of any of these at all , nor exposition of them in the Church , for this reason and for this consideration , that in divine Scripture nothing is written about them , and that they are above men 's knowledge and above men 's understanding ; Athanasius ( 293 -- 373 ) , who was present at the Council as one of the Bishop of Alexandria 's assistants , stated that the bishops were forced to use this terminology , which is not found in Scripture , because the biblical phrases that they would have preferred to use were claimed by the Arians to be capable of being interpreted in what the bishops considered to be a heretical sense . Moreover , the meanings of `` ousia '' and `` hypostasis '' overlapped then , so that `` hypostasis '' for some meant `` essence '' and for others `` person '' . The Confession of the Council of Nicaea said little about the Holy Spirit . The doctrine of the divinity and personality of the Holy Spirit was developed by Athanasius in the last decades of his life . He defended and refined the Nicene formula . By the end of the 4th century , under the leadership of Basil of Caesarea , Gregory of Nyssa , and Gregory of Nazianzus ( the Cappadocian Fathers ) , the doctrine had reached substantially its current form . Gregory of Nazianzus would say of the Trinity , `` No sooner do I conceive of the One than I am illumined by the splendour of the Three ; no sooner do I distinguish Three than I am carried back into the One . When I think of any of the Three , I think of Him as the Whole , and my eyes are filled , and the greater part of what I am thinking escapes me . I can not grasp the greatness of that One so as to attribute a greater greatness to the rest . When I contemplate the Three together , I see but one torch , and can not divide or measure out the undivided light . '' Devotion to the Trinity centered in the French monasteries at Tours and Aniane where Saint Benedict dedicated the abbey church to the Trinity in 872 . Feast Days were not instituted until 1091 at Cluny and 1162 at Canterbury and papal resistance continued until 1331 . Theology ( edit ) Trinitarian baptismal formula ( edit ) The Baptism of Christ , by Piero della Francesca , 15th century Main article : Trinitarian formula In the synoptic Gospels the baptism of Jesus is often interpreted as a manifestation of all three persons of the Trinity : `` And when Jesus was baptized , he went up immediately from the water , and behold , the heavens were opened and he saw the spirit of God descending like a dove , and alighting on him ; and lo , a voice from heaven , saying , ' This is my beloved Son , with whom I am well pleased . ' '' Baptism is generally conferred with the Trinitarian formula , `` in the name of the Father , and of the Son , and of the Holy Spirit '' . Trinitarians identify this name with the Christian faith into which baptism is an initiation , as seen for example in the statement of Basil the Great ( 330 -- 379 ) : `` We are bound to be baptized in the terms we have received , and to profess faith in the terms in which we have been baptized . '' The First Council of Constantinople ( 381 ) also says , `` This is the Faith of our baptism that teaches us to believe in the Name of the Father , of the Son and of the Holy Spirit . According to this Faith there is one Godhead , Power , and Being of the Father , of the Son , and of the Holy Spirit . '' Matthew 28 : 19 may be taken to indicate that baptism was associated with this formula from the earliest decades of the Church 's existence . Oneness Pentecostals demur from the Trinitarian view of baptism and emphasize baptism ' in the name of Jesus Christ ' as the original apostolic formula . For this reason , they often focus on the baptisms in Acts . Those who place great emphasis on the baptisms in Acts often likewise question the authenticity of Matthew 28 : 19 in its present form . Most scholars of New Testament textual criticism accept the authenticity of the passage , since there are no variant manuscripts regarding the formula , and the extant form of the passage is attested in the Didache and other patristic works of the 1st and 2nd centuries : Ignatius , Tertullian , Hippolytus , Cyprian , and Gregory Thaumaturgus . Commenting on Matthew 28 : 19 , Gerhard Kittel states : This threefold relation ( of Father , Son and Spirit ) soon found fixed expression in the triadic formulae in 2 Cor. 13 : 14 and in 1 Cor. 12 : 4 -- 6 . The form is first found in the baptismal formula in Matthew 28 : 19 ; Did. , 7 . 1 and 3 ... ( I ) t is self - evident that Father , Son and Spirit are here linked in an indissoluble threefold relationship . Fundamental monotheism ( edit ) Main article : Monotheism Christianity , having emerged from Judaism , is a monotheistic religion . Never in the New Testament does the Trinitarian concept become a `` tritheism '' ( three Gods ) nor even two . God is one , and that God is a single being is strongly declared in the Bible : The Shema of the Hebrew Scriptures : `` Hear , O Israel : the LORD our God , the LORD is one . '' The first of the Ten Commandments -- `` Thou shalt have no other gods before me . '' And `` Thus saith the LORD the King of Israel and his redeemer the LORD of hosts : I am the first and I am the last ; and beside me there is no God . '' In the New Testament : `` The LORD our God is one . '' In the Trinitarian view , the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit share the one essence , substance or being . The central and crucial affirmation of Christian faith is that there is one savior , God , and one salvation , manifest in Jesus Christ , to which there is access only because of the Holy Spirit . The God of the Old Testament is still the same as the God of the New . In Christianity , statements about a single God are intended to distinguish the Hebraic understanding from the polytheistic view , which see divine power as shared by several beings , beings which can and do disagree and have conflicts with each other . One God as three persons ( edit ) The Father Son Holy Spirit The `` Shield of the Trinity '' or Scutum Fidei diagram of traditional medieval Western Christian symbolism In Trinitarian doctrine , God exists as three persons or hypostases , but is one being , having a single divine nature . The members of the Trinity are co-equal and co-eternal , one in essence , nature , power , action , and will . As stated in the Athanasian Creed , the Father is uncreated , the Son is uncreated , and the Holy Spirit is uncreated , and all three are eternal without beginning . `` The Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit '' are not names for different parts of God , but one name for God because three persons exist in God as one entity . They can not be separate from one another . Each person is understood as having the identical essence or nature , not merely similar natures . For Trinitarians , emphasis in Genesis 1 : 26 is on the plurality in the Deity , and in 1 : 27 on the unity of the divine Essence . A possible interpretation of Genesis 1 : 26 is that God 's relationships in the Trinity are mirrored in man by the ideal relationship between husband and wife , two persons becoming one flesh , as described in Eve 's creation later in the next chapter . Perichoresis ( edit ) Main article : Perichoresis A depiction of the Council of Nicaea in AD 325 , at which the Deity of Christ was declared orthodox and Arianism condemned Perichoresis ( from Greek , `` going around '' , `` envelopment '' ) is a term used by some theologians to describe the relationship among the members of the Trinity . The Latin equivalent for this term is circumincessio . This concept refers for its basis to John 14 -- 17 , where Jesus is instructing the disciples concerning the meaning of his departure . His going to the Father , he says , is for their sake ; so that he might come to them when the `` other comforter '' is given to them . Then , he says , his disciples will dwell in him , as he dwells in the Father , and the Father dwells in him , and the Father will dwell in them . This is so , according to the theory of perichoresis , because the persons of the Trinity `` reciprocally contain one another , so that one permanently envelopes and is permanently enveloped by , the other whom he yet envelopes '' . ( Hilary of Poitiers , Concerning the Trinity 3 : 1 ) . Perichoresis effectively excludes the idea that God has parts , but rather is a simple being . It also harmonizes well with the doctrine that the Christian 's union with the Son in his humanity brings him into union with one who contains in himself , in the Apostle Paul 's words , `` all the fullness of deity '' and not a part . ( See also : Divinization ( Christian ) ) . Perichoresis provides an intuitive figure of what this might mean . The Son , the eternal Word , is from all eternity the dwelling place of God ; he is the `` Father 's house '' , just as the Son dwells in the Father and the Spirit ; so that , when the Spirit is `` given '' , then it happens as Jesus said , `` I will not leave you as orphans ; for I will come to you . '' According to the words of Jesus , married persons are in some sense no longer two but are joined into one . Therefore , Orthodox theologians also see the marriage relationship between a man and a woman to be an example of this sacred union . `` Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother , and shall cleave unto his wife : and they shall be one flesh . '' Gen. 2 : 24 . `` Wherefore they are no more twain but one flesh . What therefore God hath joined together , let no man put asunder . '' Matt . 19 : 6 . Eternal generation and Procession ( edit ) Further information : Filioque Trinitarianism affirms that the Son is `` begotten '' ( or `` generated '' ) of the Father and that the Spirit `` proceeds '' from the Father , but the Father is `` neither begotten nor proceeds '' . The argument over whether the Spirit proceeds from the Father alone , or from the Father and the Son , was one of the catalysts of the Great Schism , in this case concerning the Western addition of the Filioque clause to the Nicene Creed . The Roman Catholic Church teaches that , in the sense of the Latin verb procedere ( which does not have to indicate ultimate origin and is therefore compatible with proceeding through ) , but not in that of the Greek verb ἐκπορεύεσθαι ( which implies ultimate origin ) , the Spirit `` proceeds '' from the Father and the Son , and the Eastern Orthodox Church , which teaches that the Spirit `` proceeds '' from the Father alone , has made no statement on the claim of a difference in meaning between the two words , one Greek and one Latin , both of which are translated as `` proceeds '' . The Eastern Orthodox Churches object to the Filioque clause on ecclesiological and theological grounds , holding that `` from the Father '' means `` from the Father alone '' . This language is often considered difficult because , if used regarding humans or other created things , it would imply time and change ; when used here , no beginning , change in being , or process within time is intended and is excluded . The Son is generated ( `` born '' or `` begotten '' ) , and the Spirit proceeds , eternally . Augustine of Hippo explains , `` Thy years are one day , and Thy day is not daily , but today ; because Thy today yields not to tomorrow , for neither does it follow yesterday . Thy today is eternity ; therefore Thou begat the Co-eternal , to whom Thou saidst , ' This day have I begotten Thee . ' '' Most Protestant groups that use the creed also include the Filioque clause . Its controversial use is addressed in several confessions : the Westminster Confession 2 : 3 , the London Baptist Confession 2 : 3 , and the Lutheran Augsburg Confession 1 : 1 -- 6 . Economic and immanent Trinity ( edit ) The neutrality of this section is disputed . Relevant discussion may be found on the talk page . Please do not remove this message until conditions to do so are met . ( June 2016 ) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message ) The term `` immanent Trinity '' focuses on who God is ; the term `` economic Trinity '' focuses on what God does . According to the Catechism of the Catholic Church , The Fathers of the Church distinguish between theology ( theologia ) and economy ( oikonomia ) . `` Theology '' refers to the mystery of God 's inmost life within the Blessed Trinity and `` economy '' to all the works by which God reveals himself and communicates his life . Through the oikonomia the theologia is revealed to us ; but conversely , the theologia illuminates the whole oikonomia . God 's works reveal who he is in himself ; the mystery of his inmost being enlightens our understanding of all his works . So it is , analogously , among human persons . A person discloses himself in his actions , and the better we know a person , the better we understand his actions . The ancient Nicene theologians argued that everything the Trinity does is done by Father , Son , and Spirit working in unity with one will . The three persons of the Trinity always work inseparably , for their work is always the work of the one God . The Son 's will can not be different from the Father 's because it is the Father 's . They have but one will as they have but one being . Otherwise they would not be one God . According to Phillip Cary , if there were relations of command and obedience between the Father and the Son , there would be no Trinity at all but rather three gods . On this point St. Basil observes `` When then He says , ' I have not spoken of myself ' , and again , ' As the Father said unto me , so I speak ' , and ' The word which ye hear is not mine , but ( the Father 's ) which sent me ' , and in another place , ' As the Father gave me commandment , even so I do ' , it is not because He lacks deliberate purpose or power of initiation , nor yet because He has to wait for the preconcerted key - note , that he employs language of this kind . His object is to make it plain that His own will is connected in indissoluble union with the Father . Do not then let us understand by what is called a ' commandment ' a peremptory mandate delivered by organs of speech , and giving orders to the Son , as to a subordinate , concerning what He ought to do . Let us rather , in a sense befitting the Godhead , perceive a transmission of will , like the reflexion of an object in a mirror , passing without note of time from Father to Son . '' A Greek fresco of Athanasius of Alexandria , the chief architect of the Nicene Creed , formulated at Nicaea . Athanasius of Alexandria explained that the Son is eternally one in being with the Father , temporally and voluntarily subordinate in his incarnate ministry . Such human traits , he argued , were not to be read back into the eternal Trinity . Likewise , the Cappadocian Fathers also insisted there was no economic inequality present within the Trinity . As Basil wrote : `` We perceive the operation of the Father , Son , and Holy Spirit to be one and the same , in no respect showing differences or variation ; from this identity of operation we necessarily infer the unity of nature . '' The traditional theory of `` appropriation '' consists in attributing certain names , qualities , or operations to one of the Persons of the Trinity , not , however , to the exclusion of the others , but in preference to the others . This theory was established by the Latin Fathers of the fourth and fifth centuries , especially by Hilary of Poitiers , Augustine , and Leo the Great . In the Middle Ages , the theory was systematically taught by the Schoolmen such as Bonaventure . Roger E. Olson says that a number of evangelical theologians hold the view that there is a hierarchy of authority in the Trinity with the Son being subordinate to the Father . `` The Gospel of John makes this clear as Jesus repeatedly mentions that he came to do the Father 's will . '' Olsen cautions , however , that the hierarchy in the `` economic Trinity '' should be distinguished from the `` immanent Trinity '' . He cites the Cappadocian Fathers , `` the Father is the source or `` fount '' of divinity within the Godhead ; the Son and the Spirit derive their deity from the Father eternally ( so there is no question of inequality of being ) . Their favorite analogy was the sun and its light and heat . There is no imagining the sun without its light and heat and yet it is the source of them . '' Benjamin B. Warfield saw a principle of subordination in the `` modes of operation '' of the Trinity , but was also hesitant to ascribe the same to the `` modes of subsistence '' in relation of one to another . While noting that it is natural to see a subordination in function as reflecting a similar subordination in substance , he suggests that this might be the result of `` ... an agreement by Persons of the Trinity -- a `` Covenant '' as it is technically called -- by virtue of which a distinct function in the work of redemption is assumed by each `` . Political aspect ( edit ) Richard E. Rubenstein says that Emperor Constantine and his advisor Hosius of Corduba were aware of the usefulness of having a divinely ordained church in which the church authority , and not the individual , was able to determine individual salvation , and threw their support toward the homoousion Nicene formula . According to Eusebius , Constantine suggested the term homoousios at the Council of Nicaea , though most scholars have doubted that Constantine had such knowledge and have thought that most likely Hosius had suggested the term to him . Constantine later changed his view about the Arians , who opposed the Nicene formula , and supported the bishops who rejected the formula , as did several of his successors , the first emperor to be baptized in the Nicene faith being Theodosius the Great , emperor from 379 to 395 . Biblical background ( edit ) From the Old Testament , the early church retained the conviction that God is one . The New Testament does not use the word Τριάς ( Trinity ) nor explicitly teach the Nicene Trinitarian doctrine , but it contains several passages that use twofold and threefold patterns to speak of God . Binitarian passages include Rom. 8 : 11 , 2 Cor. 4 : 14 , Galatians 1 : 1 , Eph. 1 : 20 , 1 Tim . 1 : 2 , 1 Pet. 1 : 21 , and 2 John 1 : 13 . Passages which refer to the Godhead with a threefold pattern include Matt . 28 : 19 , 1 Cor. 6 : 11 and 12 : 4ff. , Gal. 3 : 11 -- 14 , Heb. 10 : 29 , 1 Pet. 1 : 2 and 1 John 5 : 7 . These passages provided the material with which Christians would develop doctrines of the Trinity . Reflection by early Christians on passages such as the Great Commission : `` Go therefore and make disciples of all nations , baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit '' and Paul the Apostle 's blessing : `` The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ and the love of God and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all '' , while at the same time the Jewish Shema Yisrael : `` Hear , O Israel : the Lord our God , the Lord is one '' led the early Christians to question how the Father , Son , and Holy Spirit are `` one '' . Later , the diverse references to God , Jesus , and the Spirit found in the New Testament were systematized into a Trinity -- one God subsisting in three persons and one substance -- to combat heretical tendencies of how the three are related and to defend the church against charges of worshiping two or three gods . Some scholars dispute the idea that support for the Trinity can be found in the Bible , and argue that the doctrine is the result of theological interpretations rather than sound exegesis of scripture . The concept was expressed in early writings from the beginning of the 2nd century forward , and other scholars hold that the way the New Testament repeatedly speaks of the Father , the Son , and the Holy Spirit is such as to require one to accept a Trinitarian understanding . The Comma Johanneum , 1 John 5 : 7 , is a disputed text which states : `` For there are three that bear record in heaven , the Father , the Word , and the Holy Ghost : and these three are one . '' However , this passage is not considered to be part of the genuine text , and most scholars agree that the phrase was a gloss . Jesus as God ( edit ) God in the person of the Son confronts Adam and Eve , by Master Bertram ( d.c. 1415 ) The Gospel of John has been seen as especially aimed at emphasizing Jesus ' divinity , presenting Jesus as the Logos , pre-existent and divine , from its first words , `` In the beginning was the Word , and the Word was with God , and the Word was God . '' The Gospel of John ends with Thomas 's declaration that he believed Jesus was God , `` My Lord and my God ! '' There is no significant tendency among modern scholars to deny that John 1 : 1 and John 20 : 28 identify Jesus with God . John also portrays Jesus as the agent of creation of the universe . There are also a few possible biblical supports for the divinity of Jesus found in the Synoptic Gospels . The Gospel of Matthew , for example , quotes Jesus as saying , `` All things have been handed over to me by my Father . '' This is similar to John , who wrote that Jesus said , `` All that the Father has is mine . '' These verses have been quoted to defend the omnipotence of Christ , having all power , as well as the omniscience of Christ , having all wisdom . Expressions also in the Pauline epistles have been interpreted as attributing divinity to Jesus . They include : `` For by him all things were created : things in heaven and on earth , visible and invisible , whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities ; all things were created by him and for him '' and `` For in Christ all the fullness of the Deity lives in bodily form '' , and in Paul the Apostle 's claim to have been `` sent not from men nor by man , but by Jesus Christ and God the Father '' . Some have suggested that John presents a hierarchy when he quotes Jesus as saying , `` The Father is greater than I '' , a statement which was appealed to by nontrinitarian groups such as Arianism . However , Church Fathers such as Augustine of Hippo argued this statement was to be understood as Jesus speaking in the form of a man . Holy Spirit as God ( edit ) As the Arian controversy was dissipating , the debate moved from the deity of Jesus Christ to the equality of the Holy Spirit with the Father and Son . On one hand , the Pneumatomachi sect declared that the Holy Spirit was an inferior person to the Father and Son . On the other hand , the Cappadocian Fathers argued that the Holy Spirit was an equal person to the Father and Son . Although the main text used in defense of the deity of the Holy Spirit was Matthew 28 : 19 , Cappadocian Fathers such as Basil the Great argued from other verses such as `` But Peter said , ' Ananias , why has Satan filled your heart to lie to the Holy Spirit and to keep back for yourself part of the proceeds of the land ? While it remained unsold , did it not remain your own ? And after it was sold , was it not at your disposal ? Why is it that you have contrived this deed in your heart ? You have not lied to men but to God . ' '' Another passage the Cappadocian Fathers quoted from was `` By the word of the Lord the heavens were made , and by the breath of his mouth all their host . '' According to their understanding , because `` breath '' and `` spirit '' in Hebrew are both `` רוּחַ '' ( `` ruach '' ) , Psalm 33 : 6 is revealing the roles of the Son and Holy Spirit as co-creators . And since , according to them , because only the holy God can create holy beings such as the angels , the Son and Holy Spirit must be God . Yet another argument from the Cappadocian Fathers to prove that the Holy Spirit is of the same nature as the Father and Son comes from `` For who knows a person 's thoughts except the spirit of that person , which is in him ? So also no one comprehends the thoughts of God except the Spirit of God . '' They reasoned that this passage proves that the Holy Spirit has the same relationship to God as the spirit within us has to us . The Cappadocian Fathers also quoted , `` Do you not know that you are God 's temple and that God 's Spirit dwells in you ? '' and reasoned that it would be blasphemous for an inferior being to take up residence in a temple of God , thus proving that the Holy Spirit is equal with the Father and the Son . They also combined `` the servant does not know what his master is doing '' with 1 Corinthians 2 : 11 in an attempt to show that the Holy Spirit is not the slave of God , and therefore his equal . The Pneumatomachi contradicted the Cappadocian Fathers by quoting , `` Are they not all ministering spirits sent out to serve for the sake of those who are to inherit salvation ? '' in effect arguing that the Holy Spirit is no different from other created angelic spirits . The Church Fathers disagreed , saying that the Holy Spirit is greater than the angels , since the Holy Spirit is the one who grants the foreknowledge for prophecy so that the angels could announce events to come . The usage of the word `` paraclete '' ( Greek : parakletos ) for the Holy Spirit in John 14 : 16 , which can be translated as advocate , intercessor , counsellor or protector , and the Holy Spirit 's essence and action characterized by truth , as all three persons of the Trinity are linked with truth ( see v. 17 ) , are seen as arguments that he is a divine person ; especially that Jesus calls him another counsellor , in this way expressing that the Holy Spirit is similar to himself in regard to our counsel . Old Testament parallels ( edit ) Russian icon of the Old Testament Trinity by Andrey Rublev , between 1408 and 1425 In addition , the Old Testament has also been interpreted as foreshadowing the Trinity , by referring to God 's word , his spirit , and Wisdom , as well as narratives such as the appearance of the three men to Abraham . However , it is generally agreed among Trinitarian Christian scholars that it would go beyond the intention and spirit of the Old Testament to correlate these notions directly with later Trinitarian doctrine . Some Church Fathers believed that a knowledge of the mystery was granted to the prophets and saints of the Old Testament , and that they identified the divine messenger of Genesis 16 : 7 , 21 : 17 , 31 : 11 , Exodus 3 : 2 and Wisdom of the sapiential books with the Son , and `` the spirit of the Lord '' with the Holy Spirit . Other Church Fathers , such as Gregory Nazianzen , argued in his Orations that the revelation was gradual , claiming that the Father was proclaimed in the Old Testament openly , but the Son only obscurely , because `` it was not safe , when the Godhead of the Father was not yet acknowledged , plainly to proclaim the Son '' . Genesis 18 -- 19 has been interpreted by Christians as a Trinitarian text . The narrative has the Lord appearing to Abraham , who was visited by three men . Then in Genesis 19 , `` the two angels '' visited Lot at Sodom . The interplay between Abraham on the one hand and the Lord / three men / the two angels on the other was an intriguing text for those who believed in a single God in three persons . Justin Martyr , and John Calvin similarly , interpreted it such that Abraham was visited by God , who was accompanied by two angels . Justin supposed that the God who visited Abraham was distinguishable from the God who remains in the heavens , but was nevertheless identified as the ( monotheistic ) God . Justin appropriated the God who visited Abraham to Jesus , the second person of the Trinity . Augustine , in contrast , held that the three visitors to Abraham were the three persons of the Trinity . He saw no indication that the visitors were unequal , as would be the case in Justin 's reading . Then in Genesis 19 , two of the visitors were addressed by Lot in the singular : `` Lot said to them , ' Not so , my lord . ' '' Augustine saw that Lot could address them as one because they had a single substance , despite the plurality of persons . According to Swedenborg , the three angels which appeared to Abraham do represent the Trinity , but a Trinity of one being : the Divine Itself , the Divine Human and the Divine Proceeding . That one being is represented is indicated by the fact that they are referred to in the singular as Jehovah and Lord . The reason why only two of the angels went to visit Sodom and Gomorrah is that they represent the Divine Human and the Divine Proceeding , and to those aspects of the Divine belongs judgment , as Jesus declared that all judgment was entrusted by the Father to the Son . The three angels did indeed appear to Abraham as three men , but they are only a symbolic representation of the Trinity , which should not be taken literally as three distinct persons . In the Old Testament , Swedenborg finds the earliest direct reference to a Trine in the Divinity in the account of Moses ' encounter with the Lord in Exodus which states , `` And Jehovah passed by upon his face , and called , Jehovah , Jehovah , a God merciful and gracious . '' Some Christians interpret the theophanies or appearances of the Angel of the Lord as revelations of a person distinct from God , who is nonetheless called God . This interpretation is found in Christianity as early as Justin Martyr and Melito of Sardis , and reflects ideas that were already present in Philo . The Old Testament theophanies were thus seen as Christophanies , each a `` preincarnate appearance of the Messiah '' . Impact of Stoic philosophy ( edit ) In his Introduction to the 1964 book Meditations , the Anglican priest Maxwell Staniforth discussed the profound influence of Stoic philosophy on Christianity . In particular : Again in the doctrine of the Trinity , the ecclesiastical conception of Father , Word , and Spirit finds its germ in the different Stoic names of the Divine Unity . Thus Seneca , writing of the supreme Power which shapes the universe , states , ' This Power we sometimes call the All - ruling God , sometimes the incorporeal Wisdom , sometimes the holy Spirit , sometimes Destiny . ' The Church had only to reject the last of these terms to arrive at its own acceptable definition of the Divine Nature ; while the further assertion ' these three are One ' , which the modern mind finds paradoxical , was no more than commonplace to those familiar with Stoic notions . Artistic depictions ( edit ) Main article : Trinity in art The Trinity is most commonly seen in Christian art with the Spirit represented by a dove , as specified in the Gospel accounts of the Baptism of Christ ; he is nearly always shown with wings outspread . However depictions using three human figures appear occasionally in most periods of art . The Father and the Son are usually differentiated by age , and later by dress , but this too is not always the case . The usual depiction of the Father as an older man with a white beard may derive from the biblical Ancient of Days , which is often cited in defense of this sometimes controversial representation . However , in Eastern Orthodoxy the Ancient of Days is usually understood to be God the Son , not God the Father ( see below ) -- early Byzantine images show Christ as the Ancient of Days , but this iconography became rare . When the Father is depicted in art , he is sometimes shown with a halo shaped like an equilateral triangle , instead of a circle . The Son is often shown at the Father 's right hand . He may be represented by a symbol -- typically the Lamb ( agnus dei ) or a cross -- or on a crucifix , so that the Father is the only human figure shown at full size . In early medieval art , the Father may be represented by a hand appearing from a cloud in a blessing gesture , for example in scenes of the Baptism of Christ . Later , in the West , the Throne of Mercy ( or `` Throne of Grace '' ) became a common depiction . In this style , the Father ( sometimes seated on a throne ) is shown supporting either a crucifix or , later , a slumped crucified Son , similar to the Pietà ( this type is distinguished in German as the Not Gottes ) in his outstretched arms , while the Dove hovers above or in between them . This subject continued to be popular until the 18th century at least . By the end of the 15th century , larger representations , other than the Throne of Mercy , became effectively standardised , showing an older figure in plain robes for the Father , Christ with his torso partly bare to display the wounds of his Passion , and the dove above or around them . In earlier representations both Father , especially , and Son often wear elaborate robes and crowns . Sometimes the Father alone wears a crown , or even a papal tiara . In the later part of the Christian Era , in Renaissance European iconography , the Eye of Providence began to be used as an explicit image of the Christian Trinity and associated with the concept of Divine Providence . Seventeenth - century depictions of the Eye of Providence sometimes show it surrounded by clouds or sunbursts .

Nontrinitarian views differ widely on the nature of God , Jesus , and the Holy Spirit . Various nontrinitarian views , such as Adoptionism , Monarchianism and Arianism existed prior to the formal definition of the Trinity doctrine in AD 325 , 360 , and 431 , at the Councils of Nicaea , Constantinople , and Ephesus , respectively . Following the final victory of orthodoxy at Constantinople in 381 , Arianism was driven from the Empire , retaining a foothold amongst the Teutonic tribes . When the Franks converted to Catholicism in 496 , however , it gradually faded out . Nontrinitarianism was later renewed in the Gnosticism of the Cathars in the 11th through 13th centuries , in the Age of Enlightenment of the 18th century , and in some groups arising during the Second Great Awakening of the 19th century . Modern nontrinitarian groups or denominations include Christadelphians , Christian Scientists , The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter - day Saints , Dawn Bible Students , Friends General Conference , Iglesia ni Cristo , Jehovah 's Witnesses , Living Church of God , Members Church of God International , Oneness Pentecostals , the Seventh Day Church of God , Unitarian Universalist Christians , United Church of God , The Shepherd 's Chapel and Spiritism . Islamic views ( edit ) Main articles : Islamic view of the Trinity and Shirk ( Islam ) Islam considers Jesus to be a prophet , but not divine , and Allah to be absolutely indivisible ( a concept known as tawhid ) . Several verses of the Qur'an state that the doctrine of the Trinity is blasphemous . `` Say : He is God , the One and Only ; God , the Eternal , Absolute ; He begetteth not , nor is He begotten ; And there is none like unto Him . -- Qur'an , sura 112 ( Al - Ikhlas ) , ayat 1 -- 4 Certainly they disbelieve who say : Surely Allah is the third ( person ) of the three ; and there is no god but the one Allah , and if they desist not from what they say , a painful chastisement shall befall those among them who disbelieve . -- Qur'an , sura 5 ( Al - Ma'idah ) , ayat 73 And when Allah will say : O Isa son of Marium ! did you say to men , Take me and my mother for two gods besides Allah he will say : Glory be to Thee , it did not befit me that I should say what I had no right to ( say ) ; if I had said it , Thou wouldst indeed have known it ; Thou knowest what is in my mind , and I do not know what is in Thy mind , surely Thou art the great Knower of the unseen things . -- Qur'an , sura 5 ( Al - Ma'idah ) , ayat 116 Interpretation of these verses by modern scholars has been varied . Verse 5 : 73 has been interpreted as a potential criticism of Syriac literature that references Jesus as `` the third of three '' and thus an attack on the view that Christ was divine . Edward Hulmes writes : `` The Qur'anic interpretation of trinitarian orthodoxy as belief in the Father , the Son , and the Virgin Mary , may owe less to a misunderstanding of the New Testament itself than to a recognition of the role accorded by local Christians ( see Choloridians ) to Mary as mother in a special sense . '' There is also debate about whether this verse should be taken literally . For example , Thomas states that verse 5 : 116 need not be seen as describing actually professed beliefs , but rather , giving examples of shirk ( claiming divinity for beings other than God ) and a `` warning against excessive devotion to Jesus and extravagant veneration of Mary , a reminder linked to the central theme of the Qur'an that there is only one God and He alone is to be worshipped . '' When read in this light , it can be understood as an admonition , `` Against the divinization of Jesus that is given elsewhere in the Qur'an and a warning against the virtual divinization of Mary in the declaration of the fifth - century church councils that she is ' God - bearer ' . '' Judaism ( edit ) See also : God in Judaism , Judaism 's view of Jesus , and Shituf Judaism traditionally maintains a tradition of monotheism to the exclusion of the possibility of a Trinity . In Judaism , God is understood to be the absolute one , indivisible , and incomparable being who is the ultimate cause of all existence . The idea of God as a duality or trinity is heretical -- it is even considered by some polytheistic .

We depend largely on quotations made by opponents which reflect what they thought he was saying . Furthermore , there was no single Arian party or agenda but rather various critics of the Nicene formula working from distinct perspectives. ( see Williams , Rowan . Arius SPCK ( 2nd edn , 2001 ) p. 95ff & pp. 247ff ) Jump up ^ Augustine had poor knowledge of the Greek language , and no knowledge of Hebrew . So he trusted the LXX Septuagint , which differentiates between κύριοι ( ' lords ' , vocative plural ) and κύριε ( ' lord ' , vocative singular ) , even if the Hebrew verbal form , נא - אדני ‎ ( na - adoni ) , is exactly the same in both cases .

what does the father son and the holy spirit mean
[ "The Christian doctrine of the Trinity (Latin: Trinitas, lit. 'triad', from trinus, \"threefold\")[2] holds that God is three consubstantial persons[3] or hypostases[4]—the Father, the Son (Jesus Christ), and the Holy Spirit—as \"one God in three Divine Persons\". The three persons are distinct, yet are one \"substance, essence or nature\" (homoousios).[5] In this context, a \"nature\" is what one is, whereas a \"person\" is who one is.[6][7][8] The opposing view is referred to as Nontrinitarianism." ]

Sri Lanka Matha
Sri Lanka Matha - wikipedia Sri Lanka Matha Jump to : navigation , search Sri Lanka Matha English : Mother Sri Lanka Śrī Laṁkā Mātā Srī Laṅkā Tāyē Flag of Sri Lanka anthem of Sri Lanka Also known as ශ්‍රී ලංකා මාතා ஸ்ரீ லங்கா தாயே Lyrics Ananda Samarakoon , 1940 Music Ananda Samarakoon , 1940 Adopted 1951 Audio sample Sri Lanka Matha ( instrumental ) file help Sri Lanka Matha ( Sinhalese : ශ්‍රී ලංකා මාතා Śrī Laṁkā Mātā ; Tamil : ஸ்ரீ லங்கா தாயே , translit . Srī Laṅkā Tāyē ) is the national anthem of Sri Lanka . Contents ( hide ) 1 History 2 Multilingual 2.1 Tamil version controversy 3 Lyrics 4 References 5 External links History ( edit ) There are differing accounts as to the origin of the Sri Lanka Matha . The most widely held view is that Sri Lankan composer Ananda Samarakoon wrote the music and lyrics to the song inspired / influenced by Bengali poet Rabindranath Tagore . A minority suggest that Tagore wrote the anthem in full . Some have suggested that Tagore wrote the music whilst Samarakoon wrote the lyrics . Samarakoon had been a pupil of Tagore at Visva - Bharati University , Santiniketan . After returning to Ceylon Samarakoon taught music at Mahinda College , Galle . The song , which was then known as Namo Namo Mata , was first sung by students at Mahinda College . After it was sung by the choir from Musaeus College , Colombo at a public event it became hugely popular in Ceylon and was widely played on radio . Prior to Ceylon 's independence ( 1948 ) the Lanka Gandharva Sabha had organised a competition to find a national anthem . Among the entries were Namo Namo Matha by Samarakoon and Sri Lanka Matha Pala Yasa Mahima by P.B. Illangasinghe and Lionel Edirisinghe . The latter won the competition but this was controversial as Illangasinghe and Edirisinghe were members of the judging panel . Sri Lanka Matha Pala Yasa Mahima was broadcast by Radio Ceylon on the morning of 4 February 1948 , independence day , but it was not sung at the official Freedom Day celebrations . Ceylon continued to use the British national anthem as its official national anthem after independence . At the first independence day ceremony held on 4 February 1949 at the Independence Memorial Hall in Torrington Square both Namo Namo Matha and Sri Lanka Matha Pala Yasa Mahima were sung , in Sinhala and Tamil , as `` national songs '' . More specifically , in 1950 Minister of Finance J.R. Jayewardene requested that the government recognise Samarakoon 's Namo Namo Matha as the official national anthem . The government appointed a committee headed by Edwin Wijeyeratne , Minister of Home Affairs and Rural Development , to pick a new national anthem . The committee heard several songs but , after much deliberation , picked Namo Namo Matha . The committee made a minor change to Samarakoon 's song , with his approval , changing the tenth line from `` Nawajeewana Damine '' to `` Nawa Jeewana Demine Nithina Apapupudu Karan Matha '' . The committee 's decision was endorsed by the government on 22 November 1951 . The anthem was translated into the Tamil language by M. Nallathamby . Namo Namo Matha was first sung as Ceylon 's official national anthem at the independence day ceremony in 1952 . In the late 1950s controversy arose over first line of the anthem , `` Namo Namo Matha , Apa Sri Lanka '' . It was deemed to be `` unlucky '' and blamed for the country 's misfortunes including the deaths of two prime ministers . In February 1961 the government changed the line to their present form , `` Sri Lanka Matha , Apa Sri Lanka '' , despite Samarakoon 's strong opposition . Samarakoon committed suicide in April 1962 , leaving a note complaining that his anthem had been mutilated . The Second Republican Constitution of 1978 gave Sri Lanka Matha constitutional recognition . Multilingual ( edit ) The Sri Lankan national anthem is available in an identical version in two languages , Sinhala and Tamil , both official languages of the country . It is just one of a number that are sung in more than one language : Belgium ( French , Dutch and German ) , Canada ( English , French and Inuktitut ) , New Zealand ( English and Māori ) , South Africa ( Xhosa , Zulu , Sesotho , Afrikaans and English ) , Suriname ( Dutch and Sranan Tongo ) and Switzerland ( German , French , Italian and Romansh ) . Sri Lanka Thaaye , the Tamil version of the Sri Lankan national anthem , is an exact translation of Sri Lanka Matha , the Sinhala version , and has the same music . Although it has existed since independence in 1948 it was generally only sung in the north and east of the country where the Tamil language predominates . The majority of Sri Lankans ( around 75 % ) speak the Sinhala language . More specifically , `` Tamil is the native language for the Tamil people , who constitute about 15 % of Sri Lankans , and for Muslims who are nearly 10 % '' , according to the BBC . Until early 2016 , the Sinhala version was the only one to be used during official government events and it was the only version used during international sports and other events . Although the Sinhala version of the anthem was used at official / state events , the Tamil version was also sung at some events in spite of the unofficial ban which ended in early 2016 . The Sinhala version of Sri Lanka Matha was used in all parts of the country with the exception of the North and the East which have a large Tamil population . Some reports indicate that the Tamil version was used at official events held in the Tamil speaking regions in the North and East of Sri Lanka . The Tamil version was sung at Tamil medium schools throughout the country . The Tamil version was even used during the period when Sinhala was the only official language of the country ( 1956 -- 87 ) . Tamil version controversy ( edit ) On 12 December 2010 The Sunday Times reported that the Cabinet of Sri Lanka headed by President Mahinda Rajapaksa had taken the decision to scrap the Tamil translation of Sri Lanka Matha at official and state functions , as `` in no other country was the national anthem used in more than one language '' - even though the national anthems of Canada , South Africa and those of several other countries have more than one language version . The Cabinet 's decision had followed a paper on the national flag and national anthem produced by Public Administration and Home Affairs Minister W.D.J. Senewiratne . The paper had drawn on the Singaporean model where the national anthem is sung in the official lyrics and not any translation of the lyrics . Based on this the paper recommended that the Sri Lankan national anthem only be sung in Sinhala and the Tamil translation be abolished . The paper 's authors had failed to realise that the official lyrics of the Singaporean national anthem are in Malay , a minority language ( 75 % of Singaporeans are Chinese ) . Government minister Wimal Weerawansa had labelled the Tamil version a `` joke '' on Derana TV , and had cited India as an analogy . Some journalists , such as D.B.S. Jeyaraj , claimed that it was wrong of Weerawansa to cite India as an analogy because according to them the Indian national anthem was not in Hindi , which is the most widely spoken language of India , but in Bengali , a minority language . Although sources based on an official Government of India website state that the Indian National anthem was adopted in its Hindi version by the Constituent Assembly of India , the proceedings of the Constituent Assembly of India on 24 January 1950 does not mention that the National Anthem was `` adopted '' , nor does it mention that it was done so in its Hindi version . In actual practice the unaltered Bengali version is the version sung as the National Anthem , with its words in original Bengali Tatsama , a highly Sanskritized form of Bengali that has Sanskrit words common to both Hindi and Bengali . The Cabinet 's December 2010 decision to scrap the Tamil translation of the anthem ( which was not subsequently enacted ) caused much furore in Sri Lanka . Later , the government denied allegations that the Tamil translation was to be abolished . The Presidential Secretariat has stated that there was no basis to the media report and follow up reports which intimated the same . Nevertheless , an unofficial ban on the Tamil version came into being as fearful public officials in Tamil speaking areas stopped using the Tamil version or blocked attempts to use it . The Sri Lankan Army forcefully stopped any use of the Tamil version and taught school children to sing only the Sinhala version . In March 2015 newly elected President Maithripala Sirisena announced that he would be issuing a circular which would state that there was no ban on singing the national anthem in Tamil . Sirisena 's announcement was attacked by Sinhalese Buddhist nationalists . During Sri Lanka 's 68th national independence day celebrations on 4 February 2016 , the Tamil version of the anthem was sung for the first time since 1949 at an official government event , the independence day celebrations . Lifting of the unofficial ban on the Tamil version had been approved by President Maithripala Sirisena ( who had said he would unite the nation after the nearly 26 - year civil war that ended in 2009 ) and by others in the government . This step was viewed as part of the plan for `` post-civil war ethnic reconciliation '' . Naturally , Sri Lanka Matha was also sung in the majority Sinhalese . Some groups , and Sri Lanka 's former President Mahinda Rajapaksa , were opposed to the government officially allowing the Tamil version to be sung .

Three-strikes law
Three - Strikes law - wikipedia Three - Strikes law Jump to : navigation , search This article is about the criminal justice law . For Internet disconnection policy , see Graduated response . For other uses of the term `` Three Strikes '' , see Three Strikes ( disambiguation ) . In the United States , habitual offender laws ( commonly referred to as three - strikes laws ) were first implemented on March 7 , 1994 and are part of the United States Justice Department 's Anti-Violence Strategy . These laws require a person guilty of committing both a severe violent felony and two other previous convictions to serve a mandatory life sentence in prison . The purpose of the laws is to drastically increase the punishment of those convicted of more than two serious crimes . Twenty - eight states have some form of a `` three - strikes '' law . A person accused under such laws is referred to in a few states ( notably Connecticut and Kansas ) as a `` persistent offender '' , while Missouri uses the unique term `` prior and persistent offender '' . In most jurisdictions , only crimes at the felony level qualify as serious offenses ; however , misdemeanor offenses can qualify for application of the three - strikes law in California , whose harsh application has been the subject of controversy . The three - strikes law significantly increases the prison sentences of persons convicted of a felony who have been previously convicted of two or more violent crimes or serious felonies , and limits the ability of these offenders to receive a punishment other than a life sentence . The expression `` Three strikes and you are out '' is derived from baseball , where A batter against whom three strikes are recorded strikes out . Contents ( hide ) 1 History 2 Enactment by states 3 Application 4 Effects 5 See also 6 References History ( edit ) The practice of imposing longer prison sentences on repeat offenders ( versus first - time offenders who commit the same crime ) is nothing new , as judges often take into consideration prior offenses when sentencing . However , there is a more recent history of mandatory prison sentences for repeat offenders . For example , New York State had a long - standing Persistent Felony Offender law dating back to the early 20th century ( partially ruled unconstitutional in 2010 , but reaffirmed en banc shortly after ) . But such sentences were not compulsory in each case , and judges had much more discretion as to what term of incarceration should be imposed . The first true `` three - strikes '' law was passed in 1993 , when Washington voters approved Initiative 593 . California passed its own in 1994 , when their voters passed Proposition 184 by an overwhelming majority , with 72 % in favor and 28 % against . The initiative proposed to the voters had the title of Three Strikes and You 're Out , referring to de facto life imprisonment after being convicted of three violent or serious felonies which are listed under California Penal Code section 1192.7 . The concept swiftly spread to other states , but none of them chose to adopt a law as sweeping as California 's . By 2004 , twenty - six states and the federal government had laws that satisfy the general criteria for designation as `` three - strikes '' statutes -- namely , that a third felony conviction brings a sentence of 20 to life where 20 years must be served before becoming parole eligible . After the hype leading to the institution of these laws across the country , it soon became apparent that they were not bringing the results the public expected . Data shows that the laws did n't necessarily reduce violent crime , but instead , in states such as California where a `` strike '' did not have to be a violent felony , put away more `` criminals '' for non-violent and petty crimes , dramatically raising the prison population . This led to the drastic reduction of the power of the Three - Strikes Law in California in 2012 by approval of Proposition 36 . Enactment by states ( edit ) The following states have enacted three - strikes laws : New York has employed a habitual felon statute since 1797 . Texas has had a three - strikes with mandatory life sentence since at least 1952 . In Rummel v. Estelle ( 1980 ) , the US Supreme Court upheld Texas ' statute , which arose from a case involving a refusal to repay $120.75 paid for air conditioning repair that was , depending on the source cited , either considered unsatisfactory or not performed at all , where the defendant had been convicted of two prior felony convictions , and where the total amount involved from all three felonies was around $230 . In 1993 : Washington In 1994 : California , Colorado , Connecticut , Indiana , Kansas , Maryland , New Mexico , North Carolina , Virginia , Louisiana , Wisconsin , Tennessee , and Georgia In 1995 : Arkansas , Florida , Montana , Nevada , New Jersey , North Dakota , Pennsylvania , South Carolina , Utah , and Vermont In 2006 : Arizona In 2012 : Massachusetts Application ( edit ) The exact application of the three - strikes laws varies considerably from state to state , but the laws call for life sentences for at least 25 years on their third strike . Most states require one or more of the three felony convictions to be for violent crimes in order for the mandatory sentence to be pronounced . Crimes that fall under the category of `` violent '' include : murder , kidnapping , sexual abuse , rape , aggravated robbery , and aggravated assault . Some states include additional , lesser offenses that one would not normally see as violent . For example , the list of crimes that count as serious or violent in the state of California is much longer than that of other states , and consists of many lesser offenses that include : firearm violations , burglary , simple robbery , arson , and providing hard drugs to a minor , and drug possession . As another example , Texas does not require any of the three felony convictions to be violent , but specifically excludes certain `` state jail felonies '' from being counted for enhancement purposes . One application of a three - strikes law was the Leonardo Andrade case in California in 2009 . In this case , Leandro Andrade attempted to rob $153 in videotapes from two San Bernardino K - Mart stores . He was charged under California 's three - strikes law because of his criminal history concerning drugs and other burglaries . Because of his past criminal records , he was sentenced 50 years in prison with no parole after this last burglary of K - Mart . Although this sentencing was disputed by Erwin Chemerinsky , who represented Andrade , as cruel and unusual punishment under the 8th Amendment , the Supreme Court ruled in support for the life sentencing . In 1995 , Sioux City , Iowa native Tommy Lee Farmer , a professional criminal who had served 43 years in prison for murder and armed robbery was the first person in the United States to be convicted under the federal three - strikes law when he was sentenced to life in prison for an attempted robbery at an eastern Iowa convenience store . The sentencing was considered so significant that President Bill Clinton interrupted a vacation to make a press statement about it . Another example of the three - strikes law involves Timothy L. Tyler who , in 1992 at age 24 , was sentenced to life in prison without parole when his third conviction ( a federal offense ) triggered the federal three - strikes law , even though his two prior convictions were not considered violent , and neither conviction resulted in any prison time served . Effects ( edit ) Some states , such as California , have seen dramatic drops in their crime rates since the enactment of the Three - Strikes Law . In 2011 , Los Angeles , California reported crime had decreased by half of the current amount since 1994 , which is the same year the Three - Strikes Law was put into place . Although this decrease in crime might be attributed to the enactment of stricter sentences , Los Angeles officials speculate the drop in crime might also be related to better relationships within the community and better crime - predicting tools . In 2004 , The Effect of Three - Strikes Legislation on Serious Crime in California study analyzed the effect of the Three - Strikes legislation as a means of deterrence and incapacitation . The study found that the Three - Strikes Law did not have a very significant effect on deterrence of crime , but also that this ineffectiveness may be due to the diminishing marginal returns associated with having pre-existing repeat offender laws in place . A study , Does Three Strikes Deter ? A Non-Parametric Estimation , published by researches at George Mason University found that arrest rates in California were up to 20 % lower for the group of offenders convicted of two - strike eligible offenses , compared to those convicted of one - strike eligible offenses . The study concluded that the three - strikes policy was deterring recidivists from committing crimes . A study written by Robert Parker , director of the Presley Center for Crime and Justice Studies at UC Riverside , states that , violent crime began falling almost two years before California 's three - strikes law was enacted in 1994 . The study argues that the decrease in crime is linked to lower alcohol consumption and unemployment . A 2007 study from the Vera Institute of Justice in New York examined the effectiveness of incapacitation under all forms of sentencing . The study estimated that if US incarceration rates were increased by 10 per cent , the crime rate would decrease by at least 2 % . However , this action would be extremely costly to implement . Another study , I 'd rather be Hanged for a Sheep than a Lamb : The Unintended Consequences of ' Three - Strikes ' Laws , released by the National Bureau of Economic Research found that three - strikes laws discourage criminals from committing misdemeanors for fear of a life prison sentence . Although this deters crime and contributes to lower crime rates , the laws may possibly push previously convicted criminals to commit more serious offenses . The study 's author argues that this is so because under such laws , felons realize that they could face a long jail sentence for their next crime , and therefore they have little to lose by committing serious crimes rather than minor offenses . Through these findings , the study weighs both the pros and cons for the law . A 2015 study found that three - strikes laws were associated with a 33 % increase in the risk of fatal assaults on law enforcement officers .

when did the three strikes law take effect
[ "In the United States, habitual offender laws[1] (commonly referred to as three-strikes laws) were first implemented on March 7, 1994[2] and are part of the United States Justice Department's Anti-Violence Strategy.[3][4] These laws require a person guilty of committing both a severe violent felony and two other previous convictions to serve a mandatory life sentence in prison.[5][6] The purpose of the laws is to drastically increase the punishment of those convicted of more than two serious crimes.[2]" ]

They were trained by their anthropomorphic rat sensei in the art of ninjutsu . From their home in the sewers of New York City , they battle petty criminals , evil overlords , mutated creatures , and alien invaders while attempting to remain hidden from society . They were created by Kevin Eastman and Peter Laird . The characters originated in comic books published by Mirage Studios and expanded into cartoon series , films , video games , toys , and other merchandise . During the peak of the franchise 's popularity in the late 1980s and early 1990s , it gained worldwide success and fame .

( April 2015 ) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message ) Cover of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles # 1 ( May 1984 ) The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles first appeared in an American comic book published by Mirage Studios in 1984 in Dover , New Hampshire . The concept arose from a humorous drawing sketched out by Eastman during a casual evening of brainstorming and bad television with Laird . Using money from a tax refund , together with a loan from Eastman 's uncle , the young artists self - published a single - issue comic intended to parody four of the most popular comics of the early 1980s : Marvel Comics ' Daredevil and New Mutants , Dave Sim 's Cerebus , and Frank Miller 's Ronin . The TMNT comic book series has been published in various incarnations by various comic book companies since 1984 . The Turtles started their rise to mainstream success when a licensing agent , Mark Freedman , sought out Eastman and Laird to propose wider merchandising opportunities for the franchise . In 1986 , Dark Horse Miniatures produced a set of 15 - mm ( approximately 0.6 inch ) lead figurines . In January 1987 , Eastman and Laird visited the offices of Playmates Toys , a small California toy company that wanted to expand into the action - figure market . Development was undertaken by a creative team of companies and individuals : Jerry Sachs , advertising agent of Sachs - Finley Agency , brought together the animators at Murakami - Wolf - Swenson headed by Fred Wolf . Wolf and his team combined concepts and ideas with the Playmates marketing crew , headed by Karl Aaronian , vice president ( VP ) of sales Richard Sallis , and VP of Playmates Bill Carlson . Aaronian brought on several designers and concepteur and writer John C. Schulte , and worked out the simple backstory that would live on toy packaging for the entire run of the product and show . Sachs called the high concept pitch `` Green Against Brick '' . The sense of humor was honed with the collaboration of the Murakami - Wolf - Swenson animation firm 's writers . Playmates and their team essentially served as associate producers and contributing writers to the miniseries that was first launched to sell - in the toy action figures . Phrases like `` Heroes in a half shell '' and many of the comical catch phrases and battle cries ( `` Turtle power ! '' ) came from the writing and conceptualization of this creative team . As the series developed , veteran writer Jack Mendelsohn came on board as both a story editor and scriptwriter . David Wise , Michael Charles Hill , and Michael Reaves wrote most of the scripts . The miniseries was repeated three times before it found an audience . Once the product started selling , the show got syndicated and picked up and backed by Group W , which funded the next round of animation . The show then went network , on CBS . Accompanied by the popular Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 1987 TV series , and the subsequent action figure line , Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles became a mainstream success . At the height of the frenzy , in the late 1980s and early 1990s , the Turtles ' likenesses could be found on a wide range of children 's merchandise , from Pez dispensers to skateboards , breakfast cereal , video games , school supplies , linens , towels , cameras , and toy shaving kits . While the animated TV series , which lasted for 10 seasons until 1996 , was more light - hearted , the comic - book series continued in a much darker and grittier tone . In 1990 , a live - action feature film was released , with the Turtles and Splinter being portrayed by actors in partially animatronic suits created by Jim Henson 's Creature Shop . The film became one of the most successful independent films and spawned two sequels , as well as inspiring a three - dimensional animated film set in the same continuity , which was released in 2007 under the title TMNT . After the end of the cartoon series , a live - action series in the vein of the films was created in 1997 in conjunction with Saban Entertainment . The series was called Ninja Turtles : The Next Mutation and introduced a fifth , female turtle called Venus de Milo . However , the series was largely unsuccessful and was canceled after one season . The property lay dormant until 2003 , when a new animated TV series also entitled Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles began to air on Fox Box ( 4Kids TV ) . The series storyline stuck much closer to the original Mirage comic book series , but was still less violent . It lasted for seven seasons and 156 episodes , ending in February 2009 . On October 21 , 2009 , it was announced that cable channel Nickelodeon ( a subsidiary of Viacom ) had purchased all of Mirage 's rights to the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles property . Mirage retains the rights to publish 18 issues a year , though the future involvement of Mirage with the Turtles and the future of Mirage Studios itself is unknown . Nickelodeon has developed a new CGI - animated TMNT television series and partnered with fellow Viacom company Paramount Pictures to bring a new TMNT movie to theaters . The TV show premiered on Nickelodeon on September 29 , 2012 . The live - action film , produced by Platinum Dunes , Nickelodeon Movies , and Paramount Pictures , directed by Jonathan Liebesman , and produced by Michael Bay , was released on August 8 , 2014 . Main characters ( edit ) Main article : List of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles characters Leonardo ( Leo ) -- The tactical , courageous leader and devoted student of his sensei , Leonardo wears a blue mask and wields two katana . As the most conscientious of the four , he often bears the burden of responsibility for his brothers , which commonly leads to conflict with Raphael . Leonardo was named after the Italian polymath , painter , engineer , inventor , writer , anatomist , and sculptor , Leonardo da Vinci . Michelangelo ( Mikey ) -- The most stereotypical teenager of the team , Michelangelo is a free - spirited , relaxed , and often goofy jokester , and known for his love of pizza . Michelangelo wears an orange mask and wields a pair of nunchucks . He provides the comic relief , though he still has an adventurous side . The least mature of the four Turtles , he shows characteristics of a `` surfer '' type and is often depicted with a Southern Californian accent . He is named after the Italian Renaissance painter , sculptor , architect , poet , and engineer , Michelangelo . His name was originally misspelled `` Michaelangelo '' by Peter Laird and Kevin Eastman . Donatello ( Donnie or Don ) -- The scientist , inventor , engineer , and technological genius , Donatello wears a purple mask and wields a bo staff . Donatello is perhaps the least violent turtle , preferring to use his knowledge to solve conflicts , but never hesitates to defend his brothers . He is named after the early Renaissance Italian artist and sculptor from Florence , Donatello . Raphael ( Raph ) -- The team 's bad boy , Raphael wears a red mask and wields a pair of sai . He has an aggressive nature , and seldom hesitates to throw the first punch . He is often depicted with a very pronounced New York accent . His personality can be fierce and sarcastic , and oftentimes delivers deadpan humor . He is intensely loyal to his brothers and sensei . He is named after the Italian painter and architect of the High Renaissance , Raphael . Splinter -- The Turtles ' sensei and adoptive father , Splinter is a Japanese mutant rat that learned the ways of ninjutsu from his owner and master , Hamato Yoshi . In the 1987 TV series , Archie Comics series , and the 2012 TV series , Splinter was Hamato Yoshi mutated into a humanoid rat . In the 2003 TV series , he was Hamato Yoshi 's pet rat . He was mutated from a mysterious ooze from the TCRI building . In the IDW comics , he is Hamato Yoshi reincarnated as a mutated rat . April O'Neil -- A former lab assistant to the mad scientist Baxter Stockman , April is the plucky human companion of the Turtles. April first met the Turtles when they saved her from Baxter 's Mouser robots . She embarks on many of the Turtles ' adventures and aids them by doing the work in public that the Turtles can not . In the 1987 TV series , Archie Comics series , the subsequent three films , and the 2014 film reboot , April was a television news reporter . In the 2007 CGI film ( following the continuity from the original three films ) , Casey Jones and she work for a shipping firm . In the 2012 series , April is a teenager who is rescued by the TMNTs and later given some `` crash courses '' in being a ninja by Splinter . Casey Jones -- A vigilante who wears a hockey mask to protect his identity , Casey Jones has become one of the Turtles ' closest allies , as well as a love interest to April . Casey first encountered the Turtles after having a fight with Raphael . He fights crime with an assortment of sporting goods he carries in a golf bag , such as baseball bats , golf clubs , and hockey sticks . The Shredder -- A villainous ninjutsu master called Oroku Saki , he is the leader of the Foot Clan , an evil ninja clan . In every incarnation of the TMNT franchise , he has been the archenemy of Splinter and the Turtles . The Shredder prefers to use his armor instead of weapons in some versions . Foot Soldiers / Ninjas -- The ninjas of the Foot Clan , working for the Shredder . Karai -- A female high - rank member of the Foot Clan , she has appeared in several different TMNT comics , cartoons , and films , as well as in multiple video games . In some incarnations of the character , she is closely related to Shredder as his adopted daughter or biological granddaughter . In most works , she shares an ambiguous rivalry with Leonardo , which occasionally even borders on romantic interest . Comics ( edit ) Mirage ( edit ) Main article : Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles ( Mirage Studios ) Eastman and Laird 's Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles premiered in May 1984 , at a comic book convention held at a local Sheraton Hotel in Portsmouth , New Hampshire . It was published by Mirage Studios in an oversized magazine - style format using black and white artwork on cheap newsprint , limited to a print run of only 3,250 copies . Through a clever media kit that included a press release in Comic Buyer 's Guide # 542 and a full - page ad placed in Comic Buyer 's Guide # 547 , the public 's interest was piqued and thus began the Turtle phenomenon . The small print runs made these early comics and trade magazines instant collector items , and within months , they were trading for over 50 times their cover price . The name `` Mirage Studios '' was chosen because of Eastman and Laird 's lack of a professional art studio at the start of their career , before their creation made them both multimillionaires . Mirage also published a bimonthly companion book entitled Tales of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles , featuring art by Ryan Brown and Jim Lawson , which was designed to fill in the gaps of continuity in the TMNT universe . This put the original series and Tales in the same mainstream continuity , and the two are thus canon to each other . The title 's first volume was from 1987 -- 1989 , released in alternating months with the regular Eastman and Laird book . All seven issues of volume one have been collected in trade paperback form twice , and 25 issues of volume two have been collected in trades of five issues each . As the TMNT phenomenon proliferated to other media , Eastman and Laird found themselves administrating an international merchandising juggernaut . However , this prevented the two creators from participating in the day - to - day work of writing and illustrating a monthly comic book . So , many guest artists were invited to showcase their unique talents in the TMNT universe . The breadth of diversity found in the various short stories gave the series a disjointed , anthology - like feel . Fans stuck with the series , and what was originally intended as a one - shot became a continuing series that lasted for 129 issues , spanning four separate volumes ( having 62 , 13 , 23 , and 32 issues in the four distinct volumes ) . In June 1996 , Image Comics took over publishing the title in what is considered `` volume 3 '' of the series . It was a slightly more action - oriented TMNT series and although notable for inflicting major physical changes on the main characters , Peter Laird , co-creator of the TMNT , has said this volume is no longer in canon as he began publishing volume 4 at Mirage Publishing . As an explanation , he offered in the pages of the volume 4 ( issue # 8 ) letter column : `` It just did n't feel right . '' After taking back the series from Image Comics , Mirage Studios resumed publication of a fourth volume in December 2001 , under the simple title TMNT . After the publication of issue number 28 , writer Peter Laird placed the series on an eight - month hiatus to devote himself to production of the 2007 TMNT movie . However , after that eight months had passed , Mirage 's official website went on to list the series as in `` indefinite hiatus '' . In January 2008 , Mirage had finally confirmed that the series would return in May 2008 . Issues 29 and 30 had a limited printing of 1,000 copies each , and were available through the official TMNT website . Although the purchase agreement with Nickelodeon allows Laird to produce up to 18 comics a year set in the original Mirage continuity , no new material was released in the next few years . The latest issue of TMNT volume 4 was issue # 32 which came out in print May 4 , 2014 , and online on May 9 , 2014 , almost 4 years after issue # 31 was last released . Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles adventures ( edit ) Main article : Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Adventures Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Adventures was a comic - book series published from August 1988 to October 1995 by Archie Comics . The initial storylines were close adaptations of the 1987 TV series , but with the fifth issue , Eastman and Laird decided to hand the series over to Mirage Studios employees Ryan Brown and Stephen Murphy , who immediately abandoned the animated series adaptations and took the title in a decidedly different direction with all - new original adventures , including the uniting of several of the series ' recurring characters as a separate team , the Mighty Mutanimals . Dreamwave ( edit ) Main article : Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles ( Dreamwave Productions ) A monthly comic inspired by the 2003 TV series was published by Dreamwave Productions from June to December 2003 . It was written by Peter David and illustrated by LeSean Thomas . In the first four issues , which were the only ones directly adapted from the TV series , the story was told from the perspectives of April , Baxter , Casey , and a pair of New York City police officers . IDW ( edit ) Main article : Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles ( IDW Publishing ) In April 2011 , IDW Publishing announced that they had acquired the license to publish new collections of Mirage storylines and a new ongoing series . The first issue of the new series was released on August 24 , 2011 . Turtles co-creator Kevin Eastman and Tom Waltz write , with Eastman and Dan Duncan handling art chores . Manga ( edit ) The Turtles have appeared in several manga series . Mutant Turtles ( ミュータント ・ タートルズ , Myūtanto Tātoruzu ) is a 15 - issue series by Tsutomu Oyamada , Zuki mora , and Yoshimi Hamada that simply adapted episodes of the original American animated series . Super Turtles ( スーパー タートルズ Sūpā Tātoruzu ) is a three - issue miniseries by Hidemasa Idemitsu , Tetsurō Kawade , and Toshio Kudō that featured the `` TMNT Supermutants '' Turtle toys that were on sale at the time . The first volume of the anime miniseries followed this storyline . Mutant Turtles Gaiden ( ミュータント ・ タートルズ 外伝 , Myūtanto Tātoruzu Gaiden ) by Hiroshi Kanno is a reinterpretation of the Turtles story with no connection to the previous manga . Mutant Turtles III ( ミュータント ・ タートルズ 3 , Myūtanto Tātoruzu Tsuri ) is Yasuhiko Hachino 's adaptation of the third feature film . Mutant Turtles ' 95 ( ミュータント ・ タートルズ 95 , Myūtanto Tātoruzu Kyūjūgo ) is a 1995 series by Ogata Nobu which ran in Comic BomBom . Mutant Turtles ' 96 ( ミュータント ・ タートルズ 96 , Myūtanto Tātoruzu Kyūjūroku ) is a continuation of the 1995 series when it continued to run through 1996 . Comic strip ( edit ) Main article : Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles ( comic strip ) A daily comic strip written and illustrated by Dan Berger began in 1990 . It featured an adventure story Monday through Friday and activity puzzles on weekends ( with fan art appearing later ) . The comic strip was published in syndication until its cancellation in December 1996 . At its highest point in popularity , it was published in over 250 newspapers . Television series ( edit ) First animated series ( 1987 -- 1996 ) ( edit ) Main article : Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles ( 1987 TV series ) Logo of the 1987 cartoon When little - known Playmates Toys , Inc. was approached about producing a TMNTs action figure line , they were cautious of the risk and requested that a television deal be acquired first . On December 28 , 1987 , the TMNT 's first cartoon series began , starting as a five - part miniseries and becoming a regular Saturday - morning syndicated series on October 1 , 1988 , with 13 more episodes . The series was produced by Murakami - Wolf - Swenson Film Productions , Inc. ( later Fred Wolf Films ) . Mirage Studios does not own the rights to this cartoon series . The show places a much stronger emphasis on humor than the comics do . Here , the Ninja Turtles are portrayed as four wise - cracking , pizza - obsessed superheroes that fight the forces of evil from their sewer hideout , and they make their first appearance in masks color - coded to each turtle , where previously they had all worn red . The cast included new and different characters , such as Bebop and Rocksteady and the Neutrinos . Original characters such as Splinter , Shredder , and the Foot Soldiers stayed true to the comics in appearance and alignment only . Instead of being Hamato Yoshi 's mutated pet rat , Splinter was a mutated Hamato himself . The Foot Soldiers changed from human ninjas to an endless supply of robotic grunts , allowing large numbers of them to be destroyed without anyone dying ( this was a very important decision in terms of the show 's child audience ; excessive violence would have alienated parents of children , the show 's target demographic ) . Krang , one of the series ' most memorable villains , was inspired by the design of the Utrom , a benign alien race from the Mirage comics . The animated Krang , however , was instead an evil warlord from Dimension X . Baxter Stockman , whose race was changed from black to white either due to apprehension toward depicting a villainous African American character in a children 's cartoon or that for Shredder to boss around a black Stockman would be perceived as racist . Either way , Stockman was rewritten as a shy and meek lackey to Shredder , later mutating into an anthropomorphic housefly . During the final two seasons of the show , to combat the rising popularity of Mighty Morphin Power Rangers , the lead villain switched to Lord Dregg , an evil alien overlord bent on world conquest by trying to distract the public into believing that the Turtles were the enemy instead of himself . Starting on September 25 , 1989 , the series was expanded to weekdays and it had 47 more episodes for the new season . There were 28 new syndicated episodes for season 4 and only 13 of those episodes aired in 1990 . The `` European Vacation '' episodes were not seen in the United States until USA Network started showing reruns in late 1993 and the `` Awesome Easter '' episodes were not seen until 1991 . These episodes were delayed because of animation or scheduling problems . The turtles are also well known for their use of idiomatic expressions characteristic of the surfer lingo of the time , especially by Michelangelo . Words and phrases included `` bummer '' , `` dude '' , `` bogus '' , `` radical '' , `` far - out '' , `` tubuloso '' , `` bodacious '' , and possibly the most recognized , `` cowabunga '' . On April 21 , 1990 , a drug - prevention television special was broadcast on ABC , NBC , and CBS named Cartoon All - Stars to the Rescue that featured some of the most popular cartoons at the time ; representing TMNT was Michelangelo , voiced by Townsend Coleman . Starting on September 8 , 1990 ( with a different opening sequence ) , the show began its run on CBS . The CBS weekend edition ran for a full hour until 1994 , initially airing a few Saturday - exclusive episodes back - to - back . Also , a brief `` Turtle Tips '' segment aired between the two episodes , which served as public - service announcement about the environment or other issues . After 1994 , the show was reduced to just a half - hour and only eight episodes per season were produced , grouped into a `` CBS Action Zone '' block that also featured WildC. A.T.s. and Skeleton Warriors , both of which were canceled after one season ; though TMNTs retained their `` Action Zone '' introduction . The two shows in the block were also produced by Fred Wolf Films . The series ran until November 2 , 1996 , when it aired its final episode . Its enormous popularity gave rise to its numerous imitators , including the Battletoads , Cheetahmen , Wild West C.O.W. - Boys of Moo Mesa , Road Rovers , Street Sharks , Extreme Dinosaurs , and Biker Mice from Mars . Currently , all 193 episodes are available on DVD and VHS . Original video animation ( edit ) Main article : Mutant Turtles : Choujin Densetsu - hen In addition to the American series , a Japan - exclusive two - episode anime original video animation ( OVA ) series was made in 1996 , titled Mutant Turtles : Choujin Densetsu - hen . The OVA is similar in tone to the 1987 TV series and uses the same voices from TV Tokyo 's Japanese dub of the 1987 TV series . The first episode was made to advertise the TMNT Supermutants toys . It featured the Turtles as superheroes , that gained costumes and superpowers with the use of Mutastones , while Shredder , Bebop and Rocksteady gained supervillain powers with the use of a Dark Mutastone . As with the Super Sentai and Power Rangers franchises , the four Turtles could combine to form the giant Turtle Saint . The second episode was created to advertise the Metal Mutants toys in which the characters gain Saint Seiya-esque mystical metal armor that can transform into beasts . Live - action series ( 1997 -- 1998 ) ( edit ) Logo of the live - action series Main article : Ninja Turtles : The Next Mutation In 1997 -- 1998 , the Turtles starred in a live - action television series called Ninja Turtles : The Next Mutation that directly follows the events of the first three movies . A fifth turtle was introduced , a female named Venus de Milo , who was skilled in the mystical arts of the shinobi . The series was intended as a loose continuation of the movie franchise , as Shredder had been defeated and the Ninja Turtles encountered new villains . Other connections to the feature films include the fact that Splinter 's ear was cut , the Foot Soldiers were humans , and the Turtles lived in the abandoned subway station seen in the second and third movies . The Next Mutation Turtles made a guest appearance on Power Rangers in Space . It was canceled after one season of 26 episodes . Second animated series ( 2003 -- 2009 ) ( edit ) Logo of the 2003 cartoon Main article : Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles ( 2003 TV series ) In 2003 , a new TMNT series produced by 4Kids Entertainment began airing on the `` FoxBox '' ( later renamed `` 4Kids TV '' ) programming block . It later moved to `` The CW4Kids '' block . The series was co-produced by Mirage Studios , and Mirage owned one - third of the rights to the series . Mirage 's significant stake in creative control resulted in a cartoon that hews more closely to the original comics , creating a darker and edgier feel than the 1987 cartoon , but still remains lighthearted enough to be considered appropriate for children . This series lasted until 2009 , ending with a feature - length television movie titled Turtles Forever , which was produced in conjunction with the 25th anniversary of the TMNTs franchise and featured the Turtles of the 2003 series teaming up with their counterparts from the 1987 series . 4Kidstv.com featured all the episodes of the series , until September 2010 , when Nickelodeon brought the series and air the series occasionally on Nicktoons and Nickelodeon normally during TMNTs marathons . Third animated series ( 2012 -- 2017 ) ( edit ) Logo of the 2012 cartoon Main article : Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles ( 2012 TV series ) Nickelodeon acquired the global rights to Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles from the Mirage Group and 4Kids Entertainment , Inc. and announced a new CGI - animated TMNT television series . The 2012 version is characterized by anime - like iconography and emphasis on mutagen continuing to wreak havoc on the everyday lives of the Turtles and their enemies . The series ran for five seasons . Fourth animated series ( 2018 ) ( edit ) Nickelodeon announced a new 2D animated series based on the franchise titled Rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles , which will debut in Fall 2018 . Feature films ( edit ) Main article : Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles ( film series ) The Turtles have appeared in six feature films . The first three are live - action features produced in the early 1990s : Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles ( 1990 ) , Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II : The Secret of the Ooze ( 1991 ) , and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles III ( 1993 ) . The Turtles were played by various actors in costumes featuring animatronic heads , initially produced by Jim Henson 's Creature Shop . The fourth film is a CGI - animated film titled simply TMNT and released in 2007 . A reboot , titled Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles produced by Platinum Dunes , Nickelodeon Movies , and Paramount Pictures , directed by Jonathan Liebesman , and produced by Michael Bay , was released on August 8 , 2014 . A sequel , Out of the Shadows was released on June 3 , 2016 . Merchandise ( edit ) Among the first licensed products to feature the TMNT was a tabletop role - playing game titled Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles & Other Strangeness , published by Palladium Books in 1985 , and featuring original comics and illustrations by Eastman and Laird . The game features a large list of animals , including elephants and sparrows , that are available as mutant player characters . Several more titles were in this genre , including Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Adventures , Truckin ' Turtles , Turtles Go Hollywood , Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Guide to the Universe , and Transdimensional Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles . In 1986 , Dark Horse Miniatures in Boise , Idaho , produced an attendant set of lead figurines ; unlike later incarnations , the bandannas on the store 's display set were painted all black before the multicolored versions were released to help younger readers distinguish between the four characters other than their weaponry . Palladium allowed the license to lapse in 2000 , in part due to declining sales stemming from the `` kiddification '' of the animated and live - action incarnations to that point . However , Palladium 's publisher , Kevin Siembieda , has indicated a potential willingness to revisit the license given the franchise 's recent moves closer to its roots . Toys ( edit ) Main article : Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles action figures During the run of the 1987 TV series , Playmates Toys produced hundreds of TMNT action figures , along with vehicles , playsets , and accessories , becoming one of the top collectibles for children . Staff artists at Northampton , Massachusetts - based Mirage Studios provided conceptual designs for many of the figures , vehicles , and playsets and creator credit can be found in the legal text printed on the back of the toy packaging . In addition , Playmates produced a series of TMNTs / Star Trek crossover figures , due to Playmates holding the Star Trek action - figure license at the time . Playmates employed many design groups to develop looks and styles for the toy line , including Bloom Design , White Design , Pangea , Robinson - Clarke , and McHale Design . The marketing vice president of Playmates , Karl Aaronian , was largely responsible for assembling the talented team of designers and writers , which in turn , helped germinate continued interest in the toy line . Never before in toy history did an action - figure line have such an impact for over two decades , generating billions of dollars in licensing revenue . The series was highly popular in the UK , where in the run - up to Christmas , the Army & Navy Store in London 's Lewisham devoted its entire basement to everything Turtle , including games , videos , costumes , and other items . Playmates continue to produce TMNT action figures based on the 2003 animated series . The 2007 film TMNT also gave Playmates a new source from which to make figures , while National Entertainment Collectibles Association produced a series of high - quality action figures based on character designs from the original Mirage comics . In 2012 , a new toy line and a new classic toy line from Playmates were announced to be released . Video games ( edit ) Main article : List of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles video games The first console video game based on the franchise , titled Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles , was released for the Nintendo Entertainment System ( NES ) by Konami under their `` Ultra Games '' label in 1989 and later ported to home computers and eventually for the Wii on the Virtual Console . Also released by Konami in 1989 was an arcade game , also titled simply Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles , later ported to the NES as Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II : The Arcade Game , leading to an NES - only sequel , Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles III : The Manhattan Project , which used the look of the arcade game , as opposed to the first NES game . The next Turtles game , Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles : Turtles in Time , was released in 1991 as an arcade game , and was later ported to the Super Nintendo Entertainment System ( Super NES ) in 1992 . Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles : The Hyperstone Heist was also created for the Sega Genesis in the same year , and used many of the art assets from TMNT IV . There was also a trilogy of TMNT video games for the original Game Boy system made by Konami , consisting of : Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles : Fall of the Foot Clan , Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II : Back from the Sewers , and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles III : Radical Rescue . As the video game series progressed , and the Ninja Turtles ' popularity began to decline in the mid-1990s , the video games changed direction . Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles : Tournament Fighters was released as a set of one - on - one fighting game similar to the Street Fighter series ; versions were released for the NES , SNES , and Genesis , each a distinct game . Konami also acquired the license to adapt the 2003 TV series into a video game franchise , resulting in a new series of games with 3D gameplay inspired by the old TMNT beat ' em up games , consisting of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles ( 2003 video game ) , Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2 : Battle Nexus , and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 3 : Mutant Nightmare . In 2006 , Ubisoft acquired the rights for TMNT games , beginning with a game based on the 2007 animated feature film , along with a distinct game for the Game Boy Advance similar in style to the Konami arcade games . A beat ' em up game Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles : Arcade Attack was released for the Nintendo DS in 2009 , to coincide with the series ' 25th anniversary . In 2013 , Activision released the downloadable game Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles : Out of the Shadows , based on the 2012 TV series and developed by Red Fly Studio for the Xbox Live Arcade , PlayStation Network and Steam . On January 25 , 2016 , Activision and PlatinumGames announced Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles : Mutants in Manhattan for the PlayStation 4 , PlayStation 3 , Xbox One , Xbox 360 , and PC . The game is described as a third - person , team - based brawler . The campaign will be playable either single - player or co-op and will have an original story written by Tom Waltz , IDW comic writer and editor . The art style is based on long time TMNT comic artist Mateus Santolouco . Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Legends , a Free to play Role - playing video game has been released by Ludia in summer 2016 for iPhone , iPad , Android , and Kindle Fire . It is based on the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles ( 2012 TV series ) . The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles are set to appear as playable characters in the DC Comics fighting game Injustice 2 as a part of the `` Fighter Pack 3 '' downloadable content . In other media ( edit ) Tabletop role playing game ( edit ) In 1985 , Palladium Books published Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles & Other Strangeness . This was a stand - alone game , as well as acting as an expansion for their game Rifts . The game used many key mechanics from the Palladium system . The game itself is limited to which martial arts are available , but a separate book , Ninjas and Superspies , increased the amount available to a choice of 41 martial arts styles . Examples of animals created are included in the appendices as potential antagonists , including the Terror Bears , Caesers Weasels , and Sparrow Eagles , as well as including stats for the Turtles and other characters . Food tie - ins ( edit ) Main article : Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles food tie - ins During the height of their popularity , the Turtles had a number of food tie - ins . Among the most notable of these products was Ninja Turtles Cereal , produced by Ralston - Purina as a kind of `` Chex with TMNT - themed marshmallows '' which also came with a small pouch of Pizza Crunchabungas , pizza - flavored corn snacks in the shape of pizzas ( the commercial starred the Ninja Turtles as Will Vinton - created claymations ) ; Hostess Ninja Turtles Pudding Pies , featuring a green sugar crust and vanilla pudding inside ; and Royal OOZE Gelatin Desserts , distributed by Nabisco under `` Royal Gelatin '' in three different flavors : orange , strawberry , and lime . Shreddies used to give out TMNT toys in their boxes when the cereal advertising was still geared toward children . One example of a TMNT prize was rings featuring a character on the cartoon ( 1992 ) . There was also green Ninja Turtle ice cream with different toppings according to which turtle flavor one ordered . Chef Boyardee also released a canned pasta with the pasta in the shapes of the four turtles . Concert tour ( edit ) To capitalize on the Turtles ' popularity , a concert tour was held in 1990 , premiering at Radio City Music Hall on August 17 . The `` Coming Out of Their Shells '' tour featured live - action turtles playing music as a band ( Donatello , keyboards ; Leonardo , bass guitar ; Raphael , drums and sax ; Michelangelo , guitar ) on stage around a familiar plotline : April O'Neil is kidnapped by the Shredder , and the turtles have to rescue her . The story had a very Bill - n ' - Ted-esque feel , with its theme of the power of rock n ' roll literally defeating the enemy , in the form of the Shredder ( who only rapped about how he hates music ) trying to eliminate all music . A pay - per - view special highlighting the concert was shown , and a studio album was also released . The track listing is as follows : Concert tour track list ( show ) `` Coming Out of Our Shells ! '' `` Sing About It '' `` Tubin ' '' `` Skipping Stones '' `` Pizza Power '' `` Walk Straight '' `` No Treaties '' `` Cowabunga '' `` April Ballad '' `` Count on Us '' Since the tour was sponsored by Pizza Hut in real life , many references are made to their pizza . Empty Pizza Hut boxes are seen onscreen in the `` Behind the Shells '' VHS . As part of a cross-marketing strategy , Pizza Hut restaurants gave away posters , audio cassettes of `` Coming Out of Their Shells '' , and `` Official Tour Guides '' as premiums . The original show of the tour was released on video with a making of video also released . The song `` Pizza Power '' was later used by Konami for the second arcade game Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles : Turtles in Time . At the Disney - MGM Studios theme park ( edit ) On June 30 , 1990 , the TMNT appeared in the `` New York Street '' section of Disney - MGM Studios theme park in Orlando . Emerging from their Turtle Party Wagon , they would `` ninja dance '' across the stage while April performed the theme song to the show . After the main show was done , they posed for pictures and signed autographs . The Turtles also made appearances in Disney 's Very Merry Christmas Parade to sing their own rendition of `` Santa Claus is Coming to Town '' . They also appeared during the Easter parade dancing to their single `` Pizza Power ! '' The Turtles ' live shows and appearances ceased production in 1996 . Parodies ( edit ) Cover of Cracked # 255 , August 1990 Although the TMNT had originated as something of a parody , the comic 's explosive success led to a wave of small - press , black and white comic parodies of TMNT itself , including Adolescent Radioactive Black Belt Hamsters , Pre-Teen Dirty - Gene Kung Fu Kangaroos , and a host of others . Dark Horse Comics ' Boris the Bear was launched in response to these TMNT clones ; its first issue was titled `` Boris the Bear Slaughters the Teenage Radioactive Black Belt Mutant Ninja Critters '' . Once the Turtles broke into the mainstream , parodies also proliferated in other media , such as in satire magazines Cracked and Mad magazine and numerous TV series of the period . The satirical British television series Spitting Image featured a recurring sketch `` Teenage Mutant Ninja Turds '' . Controversies ( edit ) Departure from origins ( edit ) The Turtles engaged in a greater amount of overt violence in the pages of the early Mirage comic book series by Eastman and Laird . As the TMNT were introduced into the mainstream , they were radically redesigned . In issue # 19 of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles , the creators published an editorial addressing any possible concerns of readers as a result of this . It stated , in part : `` We 've allowed the wacky side to happen , and enjoy it very much . All the while , though , we 've kept the originals very much ours -- forty pages of what we enjoy and want to see in our books , whether it comes from our own hands or from those of the talented people we work with . '' In the film Turtles Forever , the original Mirage Turtles refer to their descendants as `` sell - outs '' , in reference to their colorful accessories ( the originals are conveyed in black and white ) . Teenage Mutant `` Hero '' Turtles ( edit ) The title screen from the TMHT version , altered due to censorship . Upon TMNT 's first arrival in the United Kingdom and Ireland the name was changed to `` Teenage Mutant Hero Turtles '' ( or TMHT , for short ) , since local censorship policies deemed the word ninja to have excessively violent connotations for a children 's program ( in Ireland , however , the first season aired as `` Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles '' before the change to `` Teenage Mutant Hero Turtles '' ) . Consequently , everything related to the Turtles ( comic books , video games , toys , etc . ) had to be renamed before being released in these nations , as well as in the German - speaking countries . The lyrics were also changed , such as changing `` Splinter taught them to be ninja teens '' to `` Splinter taught them to be fighting teens '' . The policies also had other effects , such as editing out use of Michelangelo 's nunchaku ( which were at the time banned by James Ferman , chairman of the BBFC , from appearing in films and generally toning down the usage of all the turtles ' weapons . To head this problem off , the showrunners elected to remove Michelangelo 's nunchaku entirely during season three , replacing them with a grappling hook called the `` Turtle Line '' that served as Mikey 's signature weapon for the rest of the show 's run . In Italy , Spain and Portugal , they kept Michelangelo 's nunchaku but the `` TMHT '' logo could be seen in the intro , as it was not edited to reflect the title in each of those translations . In Spain the cartoon was originally aired in regional TV channels and thus had different dubs in addition to Castillian : Galician and Catalan ; in the Galician version , the title As Tartarugas Mutantes ( `` The Mutant Turtles '' ) was used . The Italian and European Portuguese dubs also had few edits . However , when the live - action movie came out in 1990 , the Ninja of the title was kept even in the UK . In time , nunchaku scenes were retained in previously - censored movies such as those of Bruce Lee . The same went for the PAL releases of the early video games , which had Michelangelo 's weapon of choice fully visible and usable . By the time of the 2003 TV series , these censorship policies had been abolished , and no changes have occurred in the content of the show . The name `` Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles '' remained unchanged for the 2003 TV series . As a result , in the UK , the 1987 TV series is still called Teenage Mutant Hero Turtles and the 2003 TV series is called Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles . In 2009 , Lionsgate Home Entertainment released the 25th Anniversary Collectors Edition on Region 2 DVD in the UK . This 3 - Disc set contains all the episodes of Seasons 1 and 2 and 4 episodes from the final season , as well as a 1 - Disc DVD with the first few episodes of Season 1 . This release features the original , unedited episodes under the `` Ninja Turtles '' title , and also marks the first time the show has been released and left uncensored in the UK . Ownership rights ( edit ) Due to various movie and television deals , the various TMNT films and television series have split between various companies , with Mirage Studios having retained copyright and trademark until October 19 , 2009 , at which point the rights for the entire TMNT franchise were sold by co-creator Peter Laird to Nickelodeon . Television ( edit ) The original animated series ( 1987 -- 1996 ) was produced by Fred Wolf Films Dublin ( as Murakami Wolf Swenson ( MWS ) and Murakami Wolf Dublin ( MWD ) during earlier seasons ) , and syndicated by Group W . The series itself is owned by Wolf Films , with home entertainment rights residing with Lions Gate Entertainment , and until recently , syndication rights belonged to Nickelodeon 's former corporate sibling CBS Television Distribution . The initial five - part miniseries ( retroactively considered the first season ) was copyrighted by Playmates Toys , although their rights to those episodes were bought out by Fred Wolf Films . Ninja Turtles : The Next Mutation was produced by Saban Entertainment , and as of September 2011 , is owned and distributed by Saban Brands . The second animated series ( 2003 -- 2009 ) was a co-production between Mirage Studios and 4Kids Entertainment . Nickelodeon 's October 19 , 2009 buyout of the TMNT franchise included an approximate $9.75 million payment to 4Kids to terminate its right to serve as the merchandise licensing agent prior to the scheduled expiration of the representation agreement in 2012 . Due to the buyout , all future TMNT film and television series rights are owned by Nickelodeon . Nickelodeon also gained the rights to the 2003 series after terminating 4Kids ' contract . Films ( edit ) The first three TMNT live - action films were produced by Golden Harvest , with New Line Cinema ( now a sister company of Warner Bros. Entertainment ) distributing the films in the United States , with 20th Century Fox distributing the second and third films in most other territories . The first two films were copyrighted by the UK - based Northshore Investments . The third film was copyrighted by Clearwater Holdings . The fourth film was produced by Imagi Animation Studios , and released by Warner Bros. Entertainment in association with the Weinstein Company . Michael Bay produced a feature film directed by Jonathan Liebesman simply titled Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles , and was released on August 8 , 2014 . A sequel , Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles : Out of the Shadows , was released on June 3 , 2016 , with Megan Fox and Will Arnett reprising their roles and debuting Stephen Amell as Casey Jones . Dave Green replaced Liebesman as the director . Comic books ( edit ) Initially , Mirage allowed employees and freelancers to retain the rights to characters they created for the TMNT Universe but had never licensed for media and merchandise outside comic books . Eventually , due to the difficulty of keeping track of everyone 's rights , Mirage made TMNT character creators sign retroactive work - for - hire contracts . One creator who did not sign over the rights to his TMNT work was Swamp Thing veteran Rick Veitch .

He is regarded by many in the sport , including football writers , players , and fans , as the greatest footballer of all time . In 1999 , he was voted World Player of the Century by the International Federation of Football History & Statistics ( IFFHS ) , and was one of the two joint winners of the FIFA Player of the Century award . That same year , Pelé was elected Athlete of the Century by the International Olympic Committee . According to the IFFHS , Pelé is the most successful league goal - scorer in the world , scoring 1281 goals in 1363 games , which included unofficial friendlies and tour games . During his playing days , Pelé was for a period the best - paid athlete in the world . Pelé began playing for Santos at age 15 and the Brazil national team at 16 . During his international career , he won three FIFA World Cups : 1958 , 1962 and 1970 , being the only player ever to do so . Pelé is the all - time leading goalscorer for Brazil with 77 goals in 92 games . At club level he is the record goalscorer for Santos , and led them to the 1962 and 1963 Copa Libertadores . Pelé 's `` electrifying play and penchant for spectacular goals '' made him a star around the world , and his teams toured internationally in order to take full advantage of his popularity . Since retiring in 1977 , Pelé has been a worldwide ambassador for football and has made many acting and commercial ventures . In 2010 , he was named the Honorary President of the New York Cosmos . Pelé has also been known for connecting the phrase `` The Beautiful Game '' with football . Averaging almost a goal per game throughout his career , Pelé was adept at striking the ball with either foot in addition to anticipating his opponents ' movements on the field . While predominantly a striker , he could also drop deep and take on a playmaking role , providing assists with his vision and passing ability , and he would also use his dribbling skills to go past opponents . In Brazil , he is hailed as a national hero for his accomplishments in football and for his outspoken support of policies that improve the social conditions of the poor . Throughout his career and in his retirement , Pelé received several individual and team awards for his performance in the field , his record - breaking achievements , and legacy in the sport .

A statue of Pelé is also prominently placed in a plaza near downtown . Pelé was born Edson Arantes do Nascimento on 23 October 1940 , in Três Corações , Minas Gerais , Brazil , the son of Fluminense footballer Dondinho ( born João Ramos do Nascimento ) and Celeste Arantes . He was the elder of two siblings . He was named after the American inventor Thomas Edison . His parents decided to remove the `` i '' and call him `` Edson '' , but there was a mistake on the birth certificate , leading many documents to show his name as `` Edison '' , not `` Edson '' , as he is called . He was originally nicknamed `` Dico '' by his family . He received the nickname `` Pelé '' during his school days , when it is claimed he was given it because of his pronunciation of the name of his favorite player , local Vasco da Gama goalkeeper Bilé , which he misspoke but the more he complained the more it stuck . In his autobiography , Pelé stated he had no idea what the name means , nor did his old friends . Apart from the assertion that the name is derived from that of Bilé , and that it is Hebrew for `` miracle '' ( פֶּ֫לֶא ) , the word has no known meaning in Portuguese . Pelé grew up in poverty in Bauru in the state of São Paulo . He earned extra money by working in tea shops as a servant . Taught to play by his father , he could not afford a proper football and usually played with either a sock stuffed with newspaper and tied with a string or a grapefruit . He played for several amateur teams in his youth , including Sete de Setembro , Canto do Rio , São Paulinho , and Amériquinha . Pelé led Bauru Athletic Club juniors ( coached by Waldemar de Brito ) to two São Paulo state youth championships . In his mid-teens , he played for an indoor football team called Radium . Indoor football had just become popular in Bauru when Pelé began playing it . He was part of the first Futebol de Salão ( indoor football ) competition in the region . Pelé and his team won the first championship and several others . According to Pelé , indoor football presented difficult challenges ; he said it was a lot quicker than football on the grass and that players were required to think faster because everyone is close to each other in the pitch . Pelé accredits indoor football for helping him think better on the spot . In addition , indoor football allowed him to play with adults when he was about 14 years old . In one of the tournaments he participated , he was initially considered too young to play , but eventually went on to end up top scorer with fourteen or fifteen goals . `` That gave me a lot of confidence '' , Pelé said , `` I knew then not to be afraid of whatever might come '' . Club career Santos In 1956 , de Brito took Pelé to Santos , an industrial and port city located near São Paulo , to try out for professional club Santos FC , telling the directors at Santos that the 15 - year - old would be `` the greatest football player in the world . '' Pelé impressed Santos coach Lula during his trial at the Estádio Vila Belmiro , and he signed a professional contract with the club in June 1956 . Pelé was highly promoted in the local media as a future superstar . He made his senior team debut on 7 September 1956 at the age of 15 against Corinthians Santo Andre and had an impressive performance in a 7 -- 1 victory , scoring the first goal in his prolific career during the match . When the 1957 season started , Pelé was given a starting place in the first team and , at the age of 16 , became the top scorer in the league . Ten months after signing professionally , the teenager was called up to the Brazil national team . After the 1962 World Cup , wealthy European clubs such as Real Madrid , Juventus and Manchester United tried to sign him , but the government of Brazil under President Jânio Quadros had declared Pelé an `` official national treasure '' the year before to prevent him from being transferred out of the country . Pelé with Santos in the Netherlands , October 1962 Pelé won his first major title with Santos in 1958 as the team won the Campeonato Paulista ; Pelé would finish the tournament as top scorer with 58 goals , a record that stands today . A year later , he would help the team earn their first victory in the Torneio Rio - São Paulo with a 3 -- 0 over Vasco da Gama . However , Santos was unable to retain the Paulista title . In 1960 , Pelé scored 33 goals to help his team regain the Campeonato Paulista trophy but lost out on the Rio - São Paulo tournament after finishing in 8th place . In the 1960 season , Pelé scored 47 goals and helped Santos regain the Campeonato Paulista . The club went on to win the Taça Brasil that same year , beating Bahia in the finals ; Pelé finished as top scorer of the tournament with 9 goals . The victory allowed Santos to participate in the Copa Libertadores , the most prestigious club tournament in the Western hemisphere . `` I arrived hoping to stop a great man , but I went away convinced I had been undone by someone who was not born on the same planet as the rest of us . '' -- Benfica goalkeeper Costa Pereira following the loss to Santos in 1962 . Santos 's most successful Copa Libertadores season started in 1962 ; the team was seeded in Group One alongside Cerro Porteño and Deportivo Municipal Bolivia , winning every match of their group but one ( a 1 -- 1 away tie versus Cerro ) . Santos defeated Universidad Católica in the semifinals and met defending champions Peñarol in the finals . Pelé scored twice in the playoff match to secure the first title for a Brazilian club . Pelé finished as the second top scorer of the competition with four goals . That same year , Santos would successfully defend the Campeonato Brasileiro ( with 37 goals from Pelé ) and the Taça Brasil ( Pelé scoring four goals in the final series against Botafogo ) . Santos would also win the 1962 Intercontinental Cup against Benfica . Wearing his number 10 shirt , Pelé produced one of the best performances of his career , scoring a hat - trick in Lisbon as Santos won 5 -- 2 . As the defending champions , Santos qualified automatically to the semi-final stage of the 1963 Copa Libertadores . The ballet blanco , the nickname given to Santos for Pelé , managed to retain the title after victories over Botafogo and Boca Juniors . Pelé helped Santos overcome a Botafogo team that contained Brazilian legends such as Garrincha and Jairzinho with a last - minute goal in the first leg of the semi-finals which made it 1 -- 1 . In the second leg , Pelé scored a hat - trick in the Estádio do Maracanã as Santos won , 0 -- 4 , in the second leg . Santos started the final series by winning , 3 -- 2 , in the first leg and defeating Boca Juniors 1 -- 2 , in La Bombonera . It was a rare feat in official competitions , with another goal from Pelé . Santos became the first ( and to date the only ) Brazilian team to lift the Copa Libertadores in Argentine soil . Pelé finished the tournament with 5 goals . Santos lost the Campeonato Paulista after finishing in third place but went on to win the Rio - São Paulo tournament after a 0 -- 3 win over Flamengo in the final , with Pelé scoring one goal . Pelé would also help Santos retain the Intercontinental Cup and the Taça Brasil against Milan and Bahia respectively . Pelé is the all - time leading goalscorer for Santos . In the 1964 Copa Libertadores , Santos were beaten in both legs of the semi-finals by Independiente . The club won the Campeonato Paulista , with Pelé netting 34 goals . Santos also shared the Rio - São Paulo title with Botafogo and won the Taça Brasil for the fourth consecutive year . In the 1965 Copa Libertadores , Santos reached the semi-finals and met Peñarol in a rematch of the 1962 final . After two matches , a playoff was needed to break the tie . Unlike 1962 , Peñarol came out on top and eliminated Santos 2 -- 1 . Pelé would , however , finish as the topscorer of the tournament with eight goals . This proved to be the start of a decline as Santos failed to retain the Torneio Rio - São Paulo . In 1966 , Pelé and Santos also failed to retain the Taça Brasil as Pelé 's goals were not enough to prevent a 9 -- 4 defeat by Cruzeiro ( led by Tostão ) in the final series . The club did , however , win the Campeonato Paulista in 1967 , 1968 and 1969 . On 19 November 1969 , Pelé scored his 1000th goal in all competitions , in what was a highly anticipated moment in Brazil . The goal , popularly dubbed O Milésimo ( The Thousandth ) , occurred in a match against Vasco da Gama , when Pelé scored from a penalty kick , at the Maracanã Stadium . Pelé states that his most memorable goal was scored at Rua Javari stadium on a Campeonato Paulista match against São Paulo rival Clube Atlético Juventus on 2 August 1959 . As there is no video footage of this match , Pelé asked that a computer animation be made of this specific goal . In March 1961 , Pelé scored the gol de placa ( goal worthy of a plaque ) , against Fluminense at the Maracanã . Pelé received the ball on the edge of his own penalty area , and ran the length of the field , eluding opposition players with feints , before striking the ball beyond the goalkeeper . A plaque was commissioned with a dedication to `` the most beautiful goal in the history of the Maracanã '' . In 1967 , the two factions involved in the Nigerian Civil War agreed to a 48 - hour ceasefire so they could watch Pelé play an exhibition game in Lagos . During his time at Santos , Pelé played alongside many gifted players , including Zito , Pepe , and Coutinho ; the latter partnered him in numerous one - two plays , attacks , and goals . New York Cosmos Pelé signing a football for U.S. President Richard Nixon at the White House in 1973 , two years before joining the New York Cosmos After the 1974 season ( his 19th with Santos ) , Pelé retired from Brazilian club football although he continued to occasionally play for Santos in official competitive matches . Two years later , he came out of semi-retirement to sign with the New York Cosmos of the North American Soccer League ( NASL ) for the 1975 season . Though well past his prime at this point , Pelé was credited with significantly increasing public awareness and interest of the sport in the United States . Hoping to fuel the same kind of awareness in the Dominican Republic , he and the Cosmos team played in an exhibition match against Haitian team , Violette AC , in the Santo Domingo Olympic Stadium on 3 June 1976 , where over 25,000 fans watched him score a winning goal in the last seconds of the match , leading the Cosmos to a 2 -- 1 victory . He led the Cosmos to the 1977 NASL championship , in his third and final season with the club . Pelé ( left ) with Eusébio ( far right ) before a game in the NASL in April 1977 On 1 October 1977 , Pelé closed out his career in an exhibition match between the Cosmos and Santos . Santos arrived in New York after previously defeating the Seattle Sounders in New Jersey , 2 -- 0 . The match was played in front of a sold out crowd at Giants Stadium and was televised in the United States on ABC 's Wide World of Sports as well as throughout the world . Pelé 's father and wife both attended the match , as well as Muhammad Ali and Bobby Moore . International career Pelé 's first international match was a 2 -- 1 defeat against Argentina on 7 July 1957 at the Maracanã . In that match , he scored his first goal for Brazil aged 16 years and nine months , and he remains the youngest goalscorer for his country . 1958 World Cup Pelé ( number 10 ) dribbles past three Swedish players at the 1958 World Cup Pelé arrived in Sweden sidelined by a knee injury but on his return from the treatment room , his colleagues stood together and insisted upon his selection . His first match was against the USSR in the third match of the first round of the 1958 FIFA World Cup , where he gave the assist to Vavá 's second goal . He was the youngest player of that tournament , and at the time the youngest ever to play in the World Cup . Against France in the semifinal , Brazil was leading 2 -- 1 at halftime , and then Pelé scored a hat - trick , becoming the youngest in World Cup history to do so . 17 - year - old Pelé cries on the shoulder of goalkeeper Gilmar after Brazil won the 1958 World Cup Final On 29 June 1958 , Pelé became the youngest player to play in a World Cup final match at 17 years and 249 days . He scored two goals in that final as Brazil beat Sweden 5 -- 2 in Stockholm , the capital . His first goal where he flicked the ball over a defender before volleying into the corner of the net , was selected as one of the best goals in the history of the World Cup . Following Pelé 's second goal , Swedish player Sigvard Parling would later comment ; `` When Pelé scored the fifth goal in that Final , I have to be honest and say I felt like applauding '' . When the match ended , Pelé passed out on the field , and was revived by Garrincha . He then recovered , and was compelled by the victory to weep as he was being congratulated by his teammates . He finished the tournament with six goals in four matches played , tied for second place , behind record - breaker Just Fontaine , and was named best young player of the tournament . It was in the 1958 World Cup that Pelé began wearing a jersey with number 10 . The event was the result of disorganization : the leaders of the Brazilian Federation did not send the shirt numbers of players and it was up to FIFA to choose the number 10 shirt to Pelé who was a substitute on the occasion . The press proclaimed Pelé the greatest revelation of the 1958 World Cup , and he was also retroactively given the Silver Ball as the second best player of the tournament , behind Didi . South American championship Pelé also played in the South American Championship . In the 1959 competition he was named best player of the tournament and was top scorer with 8 goals , as Brazil came second despite being unbeaten in the tournament . He scored in five of Brazil 's six games , including two goals against Chile and a hat - trick against Paraguay . 1962 World Cup Pelé with Brazil taking on Italy 's Giovanni Trapattoni at the San Siro , Milan in 1963 When the 1962 World Cup started , Pelé was the best rated player in the world . In the first match of the 1962 World Cup in Chile , against Mexico , Pelé assisted the first goal and then scored the second one , after a run past four defenders , to go up 2 -- 0 . He injured himself in the next game while attempting a long - range shot against Czechoslovakia . This would keep him out of the rest of the tournament , and forced coach Aymoré Moreira to make his only lineup change of the tournament . The substitute was Amarildo , who performed well for the rest of the tournament . However , it was Garrincha who would take the leading role and carry Brazil to their second World Cup title , after beating Czechoslovakia at the final in Santiago . 1966 World Cup Pelé was the most famous footballer in the world during the 1966 World Cup in England , and Brazil fielded some world champions like Garrincha , Gilmar and Djalma Santos with the addition of other stars like Jairzinho , Tostão and Gérson , leading to high expectations for them . Brazil was eliminated in the first round , playing only three matches . The World Cup was marked , among other things , for brutal fouls on Pelé that left him injured by the Bulgarian and Portuguese defenders . Pelé scored the first goal from a free kick against Bulgaria , becoming the first player to score in three successive FIFA World Cups , but due to his injury , a result of persistent fouling by the Bulgarians , he missed the second game against Hungary . Brazil lost that game and Pelé , although still recovering , was brought back for the last crucial match against Portugal at Goodison Park in Liverpool by the Brazilian coach Vicente Feola . Feola changed the entire defense , including the goalkeeper , while in midfield he returned to the formation of the first match . During the game , Portugal defender João Morais fouled Pelé , but was not sent off by referee George McCabe ; a decision retrospectively viewed as being among the worst refereeing errors in World Cup history . Pelé had to stay on the field limping for the rest of the game , since substitutes were not allowed at that time . After this game he vowed he would never again play in the World Cup , a decision he would later change . 1970 World Cup Pelé was called to the national team in early 1969 , he refused at first , but then accepted and played in six World Cup qualifying matches , scoring six goals . The 1970 World Cup in Mexico was expected to be Pelé 's last . Brazil 's squad for the tournament featured major changes in relation to the 1966 squad . Players like Garrincha , Nilton Santos , Valdir Pereira , Djalma Santos and Gilmar had already retired . However , Brazil 's 1970 World Cup squad , which included players like Pelé , Rivelino , Jairzinho , Gérson , Carlos Alberto Torres , Tostão and Clodoaldo , is often considered to be the greatest football team in history . Pelé , front row second from right , before the match against Peru in the 1970 World Cup The front five of Jairzinho , Pelé , Gerson , Tostão and Rivelino together created an attacking momentum , with Pelé having a central role in Brazil 's way to the final . All of Brazil 's matches in the tournament ( except the final ) were played in Guadalajara , and in the first match against Czechoslovakia , Pelé gave Brazil a 2 -- 1 lead , by controlling Gerson 's long pass with his chest and then scoring . In this match Pelé attempted to lob goalkeeper Ivo Viktor from the half - way line , only narrowly missing the Czechoslovak goal . Brazil went on to win the match , 4 -- 1 . In the first half of the match against England , Pelé nearly scored with a header that was saved by the England goalkeeper Gordon Banks . In the second half , he controlled a cross from Tostão before flicking the ball to Jairzinho who scored the only goal . Mário Zagallo ( Brazil 's 1970 coach with Pelé in 2008 ) . Zagallo said of Pelé : `` A kid in Sweden ( 1958 World Cup ) gave signs of genius , and in Mexico ( 1970 World Cup ) he fulfilled all that promise and closed the book with a golden key . And I had the privilege to see it all from close up . '' Against Romania , Pelé scored two goals , with Brazil winning by a final score of 3 -- 2 . In the quarterfinals against Peru , Brazil won 4 -- 2 , with Pelé assisting Tostão for Brazil 's third goal . In their semi-final match , Brazil faced Uruguay for the first time since the 1950 World Cup final round match . Jairzinho put Brazil ahead 2 -- 1 , and Pelé assisted Rivelino for the 3 -- 1 . During that match , Pelé made one of his most famous plays . Tostão passed the ball for Pelé to collect which Uruguay 's goalkeeper Ladislao Mazurkiewicz took notice of and ran off his line to get the ball before Pelé . However , Pelé got there first and fooled Mazurkiewicz with a feint by not touching the ball , causing it to roll to the goalkeepers left , while Pelé went to the goalkeepers right . Pelé ran around the goalkeeper to retrieve the ball and took a shot while turning towards the goal , but he turned in excess as he shot , and the ball drifted just wide of the far post . Brazil played Italy in the final at the Azteca Stadium in Mexico City . Pelé scored the opening goal with a header over Italian defender Tarcisio Burgnich . He then made assists on Brazil 's third goal , scored by Jairzinho , and the fourth finished by Carlos Alberto . The last goal of the game is often considered the greatest team goal of all time because it involved all but two of the team 's outfield players . The play culminated after Pelé made a blind pass that went into Carlos Alberto 's running trajectory . He came running from behind and struck the ball to score . Brazil won the match 4 -- 1 , keeping the Jules Rimet Trophy indefinitely , and Pelé received the Golden Ball as player of the tournament . Burgnich , who marked Pelé during the final , was quoted saying `` I told myself before the game , he 's made of skin and bones just like everyone else -- but I was wrong '' . Pelé 's last international match was on 18 July 1971 against Yugoslavia in Rio de Janeiro . With Pelé on the field , the Brazilian team 's record was 67 wins , 14 draws and 11 losses . Brazil never lost a match while fielding both Pelé and Garrincha . Style of play Pelé dribbling past a defender while playing for Brazil , May 1960 . Pelé has also been known for connecting the phrase `` The Beautiful Game '' with football . A prolific goalscorer , he was known for his ability to anticipate opponents in the area and finish off chances with an accurate and powerful shot with either foot . Pelé was also a hard - working team - player , and a complete forward , with exceptional vision and intelligence , who was recognised for his precise passing , and ability to link - up with teammates and provide them with assists . In his early career , he played in a variety of attacking positions . Although he usually operated inside the penalty area as a main striker or centre - forward , his wide range of skills also allowed him to play in a more withdrawn role , as an inside forward or second striker , or out wide . In his later career , he took on more of a deeper playmaking role behind the strikers , often functioning as an attacking midfielder . Pelé 's unique playing style combined speed , creativity , and technical skill with physical power , stamina , and athleticism . His excellent technique , balance , flair , agility , and dribbling skills enabled him to beat opponents with the ball , and frequently saw him use sudden changes of direction and elaborate feints in order to get past players , such as his trademark move , the drible da vaca . Another one of his signature moves was the paradinha , or little stop . In spite of his relatively small stature , 5 feet 8 inches ( 1.73 m ) , he excelled in the air , due to his heading accuracy and elevation . Renowned for his bending shots , he was also an accurate free - kick taker , and penalty taker , although he often refrained from taking penalties , stating that he believed it to be a cowardly way to score . In addition to his abilities as a footballer , Pelé was also known to be a fair and highly influential player , who stood out for his charismatic leadership and sportsmanship on the pitch . He also earned a reputation for often being a decisive player for his teams , due to his tendency to score crucial goals in important matches . Reception and legacy `` Pelé was one of the few who contradicted my theory : instead of 15 minutes of fame , he will have 15 centuries . '' -- Andy Warhol . `` My name is Ronald Reagan , I 'm the President of the United States of America . But you do n't need to introduce yourself , because everyone knows who Pelé is . '' -- US President Ronald Reagan , greeting Pelé at the White House . Pelé is one of the most lauded players in history and is frequently ranked the best player ever . Among his contemporaries , Dutch star Johan Cruyff stated ; `` Pelé was the only footballer who surpassed the boundaries of logic . '' Brazil 's 1970 FIFA World Cup - winning captain Carlos Alberto Torres opined ; `` His great secret was improvisation . Those things he did were in one moment . He had an extraordinary perception of the game . '' Tostão , his strike partner at the 1970 World Cup ; `` Pelé was the greatest -- he was simply flawless . And off the pitch he is always smiling and upbeat . You never see him bad - tempered . He loves being Pelé . '' His Brazilian teammate Clodoaldo commented on the adulation he witnessed ; `` In some countries they wanted to touch him , in some they wanted to kiss him .

The series is based on Hasbro 's My Little Pony line of toys and animated works and is often referred by collectors as the fourth generation ( `` G4 '' ) of the franchise . The series premiered on October 10 , 2010 , on The Hub cable channel . Hasbro selected animator Lauren Faust as the creative director and executive producer for the show . Faust sought to challenge the established nature of the existing My Little Pony line , creating more in - depth characters and adventurous settings ; she left the series during season 2 , to be replaced by Meghan McCarthy as showrunner . The show follows a studious anthropomorphic unicorn pony named Twilight Sparkle as her mentor Princess Celestia guides her to learn about friendship in the town of Ponyville . Twilight becomes close friends with five other ponies : Applejack , Rarity , Fluttershy , Rainbow Dash , and Pinkie Pie . Each of the ponies represent a different facet of friendship , and Twilight discovers herself to be a key part of the magical artifacts known as the `` Elements of Harmony '' . The ponies travel on adventures and help others around Equestria while working out problems that arise in their own friendships . The series has become a major commercial success , becoming the most highly rated original production in the Hub Network 's broadcast history and leading to new merchandising opportunities for Hasbro , including books , clothing , collectible trading cards , and comics . Despite the target demographic of young girls , Friendship Is Magic has also gained a large following of older viewers , mainly young and middle - aged men , who call themselves `` bronies '' . Portions of the show have become part of the remix culture , and have formed the basis for a variety of internet memes . The show has ran for 169 episodes through seven seasons with an eighth scheduled for a March 24 , 2018 release . A spin - off feature film series , My Little Pony : Equestria Girls , started in 2013 and has been shown in limited theatrical screenings prior to television broadcast and home media release . A feature - length film adaptation directly based on the TV series , titled My Little Pony : The Movie , was theatrically released on October 6 , 2017 in the United States .

The animated series My Little Pony Tales which premiered in 1992 was the toy line 's most recent television series before Friendship Is Magic , featuring the pony designs of the first toy line . It was followed by various direct - to - video releases , which featured later designs up to the third incarnation of the franchise . Just as Michael Bay 's film had helped to boost the new Transformers toy line , Hasbro wanted to retool the My Little Pony franchise and update it to better suit the current demographic and taste of young girls . According to Margaret Loesch , CEO of Hub Network , revisiting properties that had worked in the past was an important programming decision , influenced to an extent by the opinions of the network 's programming executives , a number of whom were once fans of such shows . Senior Vice President Linda Steiner also stated that they `` intended to have the show appeal to a larger demographic '' , with the concept of `` co-viewing '' of parents with their children being a central theme of the Hub Network 's programming . Central themes that Hasbro sought for the show included friendships and working together , factors they determined from market research in how girls played with their toys . Lauren Faust , developer and initial showrunner of My Little Pony : Friendship Is Magic Animator and writer Lauren Faust approached Hasbro , seeking to develop her girls ' toys property `` Galaxy Girls '' into an animated series . Faust , who had previously worked on Cartoon Network 's The Powerpuff Girls and Foster 's Home for Imaginary Friends , had been pitching original animation aimed at girls for years , but had always been rejected by studios and networks because cartoons for girls were considered unsuccessful . When she pitched to Lisa Licht of Hasbro Studios , Licht showed Faust one of their recent My Little Pony animated works , Princess Promenade , `` completely on the fly '' . Licht considered that Faust 's style was well suited to that line , and asked her to consider `` some ideas where to take a new version of the franchise '' . Faust was initially hired by Hasbro to create a pitch bible for the show , allowing her to get additional help with conceptualization . Faust said she was `` extremely skeptical '' about taking the job at first because she had always found shows based on girls ' toys to be boring and unrelatable . My Little Pony was one of her favorite childhood toys , but she was disappointed that her imagination at the time was nothing like the animated shows , in which the characters , according to Faust , `` just had endless tea parties , giggled over nothing and defeated villains by either sharing with them or crying '' . With the chance to work on My Little Pony , she hoped to prove that `` cartoons for girls do n't have to be a puddle of smooshy , cutesy - wootsy , goody - two - shoeness '' . To do this , she incorporated into the design of the characters and the show many elements that contradicted idealized stereotypes of girls , such as diverse personalities , the message that friends can be different and can get into arguments but still be friends , and the idea that girls should not be limited by what others say they can or can not do . Elements of the characters ' personalities and the show 's settings were based on her own childhood imagination of the ponies ' adventures , in part inspired by the animated shows that her brothers would watch while growing up , such as Transformers and G.I. Joe ; she considered that she was making Friendship Is Magic `` for me as an eight - year - old '' . Faust still aimed for the characters to be `` relatable '' characters , using stereotypical `` icons of girliness '' ( such as the waif or the bookworm ) in order to broaden the appeal of the characters for the young female audience . Faust stated that as she provided Hasbro with more of her ideas for the show , she was inspired by their positive response to the non-traditional elements . Faust had initially pitched the show to include `` adventure stories '' in a similar proportion to `` relationship stories '' , but recognizing the younger target audience , as well as the difficulty of basing complex plots on the adventure elements , she trimmed back this content , focusing more on exchanges between the characters . The show still incorporates episodic creatures intended to be frightening to children , such as dragons and hydras , but it places more emphasis on the friendships among the characters , displayed with a comedic tone . By the time the show was approved , Faust had developed three full scripts for the series . Faust began to work out concept sketches , several of which appeared on her DeviantArt page , including ponies from the original series ( Twilight , Applejack , Firefly , Surprise , Posey and Sparkler ) , which later provided the core for the main cast of the show . Hasbro approved the show with Faust as Executive Producer and asked her to complete the pitch bible . In order to do so , Faust brought in Martin Ansolabehere and Paul Rudish , who had worked on other animated shows with her . Faust credits Rudish for the inspiration of the pegasus ponies controlling the weather in Equestria , as well as the character of Nightmare Moon during this period . Faust also consulted Craig McCracken , her husband and also an animator and creator of The Powerpuff Girls and Foster 's Home for Imaginary Friends . After seeing the initial version of the pitch bible , Hasbro requested more character designs from Faust 's team ; subsequently , Faust brought aboard Dave Dunnet and Lynne Naylor to further refine the background and character styles . On completion of the pitch bible , Hasbro and Faust began looking at studios for the animation . Studio B Productions ( renamed to DHX Media on September 8 , 2010 , after its parent company , along with DHX 's other subsidiaries ) had previously worked on Macromedia Flash - based animations and on shows that featured a large number of animals , and Faust felt they would be a good selection . Studio B requested that Jayson Thiessen be the director , a choice Faust agreed with . She , Thiessen , and James Wootton led the completion of a two - minute short to pitch the final product to Hasbro , resulting in the company 's sanctioning the full production . Faust estimates that from being initially asked to develop the show until this point took roughly one year . Production The show is developed at Hasbro Studios in Los Angeles , where most of the writing staff is located , and at DHX Media Vancouver in Vancouver , British Columbia , for the animation work . A sample storyboard from the episode `` Call of the Cutie '' , containing pencil sketches of the main characters , rendered backgrounds to establish settings , and instructions for the Flash animators , such as the panning shot shown in the second panel Faust 's initial writing staff at Hasbro Studios included several writers who had worked with her on her previous shows and were approved by Hasbro . These included Amy Keating Rogers , Cindy Morrow , Meghan McCarthy , Chris Savino , Charlotte Fullerton , M.A. Larson , and Dave Polsky . The writing process began with Faust and Renzetti coming up with broad plots for each show . The two would then hold a brainstorming session with each episode 's writer , allowing the writer to script out scenes and dialogue . Faust and Renzetti then worked with the writer to finalize the scripts and assign some basic storyboard instructions . Hasbro was involved throughout this process and laid down some of the concepts to be incorporated into the show . Examples of Hasbro 's influence include having Celestia be a princess rather than a queen , making one of the ponies focused on fashion , and portraying toy sets in relevant places within the story , such as Rarity 's boutique . In some cases , Hasbro requested that the show include a setting , but allowed Faust and her team to create its visual style , and Hasbro then based the toy set on it ; an example is the Ponyville schoolhouse . Faust also had to write to the E / I ( `` educational and informational '' ) standards that Hasbro required of the show , making the crafting of some of the situations she would have normally done on other animated shows more difficult ; for example , Faust cited having one character call another an `` egghead '' as `` treading a very delicate line '' , and having one character cheat in a competition as `` worrisome to some '' . Each episode also generally includes a moral or life lesson , but these were chosen to `` cross a broad spectrum of personal experiences '' , and not just to suit children . Because intellectual property issues had caused Hasbro to lose some of the rights on the original pony names , the show includes a mix of original characters from the toy line and new characters developed for the show . Jayson Thiessen , supervising director ( left ) , and Shaun Scotellaro ( `` Sethisto '' ) , the founder of the fansite Equestria Daily , at BroNYCon 2011 Completed scripts were sent to Studio B for pre-production and animation using Macromedia Flash Professional 8 . Thiessen 's production team was also allowed to select key personnel subject to Hasbro 's approval ; one of those selected was art director Ridd Sorensen . The Studio B team would storyboard the provided scripts , incorporating any direction and sometimes managing to create scenes that the writers had believed impossible to show in animation . The animators would then prepare the key character poses , layout , background art , and other main elements , and send these versions back to the production team in Los Angeles for review by Hasbro and suggestions from the writers . Thiessen credited much of the technical expertise in the show to Wooton , who created Flash programs to optimize the placement and posing of the pony characters and other elements , simplifying and economizing on the amount of work needed from the other animators . For example , the ponies ' manes and tails are generally fixed shapes , animated by bending and stretching them in curves in three dimensions and giving them a sense of movement without the high cost of individual animated hairs . The storyboard artists and animators also need to fill in background characters for otherwise scripted scenes as to populate the world . According to writer Meghan McCarthy , many of the small nods to the fandom , pop culture references , or other easter eggs would be added at this point by the studio . Once the pre-production work was approved and completed , the episode would then be animated . Though Studio B performed the initial animation work , the final steps were passed to Top Draw Animation in the Philippines , an animation studio that Studio B had worked with in the later part of season one and beyond . The voice casting and production is handled by Voicebox Productions , with Terry Klassen as the series ' voice director . Faust , Thiessen , and others participated in selecting voice actors , and Hasbro gave final approval . The voice work is performed prior to the animation , with the animators in the room to help provide direction ; according to Libman , this allows herself and the other actors to play the character without certain limitations . Libman noted that for recording her lines as the hyperactive Pinkie Pie , `` I learned that I can go as over the top as I want and they ( the animators ) rarely pull me back . '' Daniel Ingram at Everfree Northwest 2012 The series ' background music is composed by William Kevin Anderson , and Daniel Ingram composes the songs , which are only included if they would make sense in the episode 's script . The production team identifies specific parts of the episode where they want music cues , allowing Anderson to create appropriate music for each . Ingram works alongside Anderson 's compositions to create vocal songs that mesh with the background music while filling out the show 's fantasy setting . The composition of the music and songs far precedes the broadcast of the episode ; for example , songs for the show 's third season that began airing in November 2012 were composed in 2011 . Ingram considered that songs from previous shows of My Little Pony were `` a little bit dated '' and decided to bring more interesting work to the Friendship Is Magic series . Such changes include making songs with more emotional depth than typical for children 's animation , and tending to write songs that can be enjoyed musically outside of the context of the episode . Ingram 's songs have `` became bigger and more epic , more Broadway and more cinematic over time '' with Hasbro blessing the effort to try `` something groundbreaking for daytime television '' , according to Ingram . Lyrics and overall musical themes may be suggested by the writers ; two examples include songs written by Amy Keating Rogers , who is a self - professed Stephen Sondheim fan . The song `` The Art of the Dress '' in the first - season episode `` Suited for Success '' is inspired by `` Putting it Together '' from the musical Sunday in the Park with George , while the season one finale 's song , `` At The Gala '' , is based on Sondheim 's Into the Woods . A large musical number in the episode `` The Super Speedy Cider Squeezy 6000 '' paid homage to the song `` Ya Got Trouble '' from Meredith Willson 's musical , The Music Man . Before the show was approved , Hasbro and Faust had planned for episodes to be 11 minutes long , to which Faust conformed in her first full - length script , `` The Ticket Master '' , which was part of the pitch bible . However , Faust preferred more traditional 22 - minute episodes , and Hasbro eventually agreed to this . The initial production stages were very tight , requiring a schedule twice as fast as Faust had previously experienced , and frequent remote communication between the Los Angeles writing offices and the animation studio in Vancouver . At times , the two teams would hold `` writer 's summits '' to propose new ideas for characters and situations , at which the animation team would provide suggestions on visuals , body language , and characterization . Faust estimates that the time to complete one episode was one year ; at one point , the team was simultaneously working on various stages of all 26 episodes of the first season , and when the second season was approved , that number rose temporarily to 32 . Episodes then aired about a month after completion . Thiessen explained that they had pushed to start work on the second season as soon as the first was completed , to prevent staff turnover . After the airing of the first season 's finale , Faust announced that she had left the show , and would be credited in the future as Consulting Producer . Her involvement in the second season consists mainly of story conception and scripts , and the involvement ceased after the second season . Despite leaving , she still has high hopes for the staff members , stating that `` the gaps I have left are being filled by the same amazing artists , writers , and directors who brought you Season 1 . I 'm certain the show will be as entertaining as ever '' . In an interview with New York Magazine , Faust stated her reasons for leaving were a combination of a hectic production schedules and a lack of creative control she had with the series . According to her husband McCracken , Faust 's departure was due to the fact that as a toy company - driven show , `` there were things she wanted to do with that series that she just was n't able to do '' , and that there is `` still some frustration with '' not being able to bring some of her ideas to screen . Music Main article : List of songs in My Little Pony : Friendship Is Magic Premise Friendship Is Magic takes place in the land of Equestria , populated by varieties of ponies including variants of Pegasus and unicorn , along with other sentient and non-sentient creatures . The central character is Twilight Sparkle , a unicorn mare sent by her mentor Princess Celestia , ruler of Equestria , to the town of Ponyville to study the magic of friendship . In the show 's opening episode `` Friendship Is Magic '' , Twilight resents this assignment , as she is more concerned about the foretold appearance of Nightmare Moon , the evil sister of Celestia . When Nightmare Moon does appear , vowing everlasting night and causing Celestia to disappear , Twilight sets off with five other ponies -- Applejack , Fluttershy , Pinkie Pie , Rainbow Dash , and Rarity -- to obtain the Elements of Harmony and defeat Nightmare Moon . Before Twilight can activate the Elements , Nightmare Moon appears and shatters them . In a flash of inspiration , Twilight realizes that each of her new friends represents one of the Elements of Harmony ( Honesty , Loyalty , Laughter , Generosity , and Kindness ) , and that she herself is the final piece , Magic . The magical power of the ponies ' friendship reverts Nightmare Moon to a repentant Princess Luna . Celestia reappears , reunites with her sister Princess Luna , and decrees that Twilight shall stay in Ponyville to continue studying the magic of friendship , much to the happiness of Twilight and her new friends . Later episodes follow Twilight and her friends dealing with various problems around Ponyville , including interpersonal problems between friends and family , as well as more adventurous stories involving creatures like dragons and hydras , and having to save Equestria from villainous characters . At the end of each episode , Twilight sends a report back to Celestia explaining what she learned about friendship from these adventures . This part of the formula is abandoned in `` Lesson Zero '' , the second - season episode in which Twilight is convinced to be less rigid in her perceived duties ; after this , all the principals contribute reports , although the formality is disregarded when appropriate . In the fourth season , with the request for reports no longer applicable , the six resolve to keep a collective personal journal in which they record their thoughts about life for posterity . Another focus of the show is the Cutie Mark Crusaders , a trio of much younger mares consisting of Apple Bloom , Sweetie Belle , and Scootaloo , who are obsessed with finding their `` cutie marks '' , an iconic symbol that magically appear on a pony 's flank once they have discovered their special talent in life . The show regularly features episodes centered on the Crusaders , who have yet to receive their cutie marks and are teased by other young ponies as `` blank flanks '' . In response , they desperately hurry to try to discover their talents and receive their own cutie marks , often doing so in comical fashions . Although the episodes are designed to stand alone , the series features continuity and overall story arcs , with several key elements of the series changing ; one such change is the evolution of Twilight herself , who spends the first three seasons learning about friendship and is subsequently granted wings by Celestia to become an alicorn and a princess in the season 3 finale `` Magical Mystery Cure '' . In the season 4 finale `` Twilight 's Kingdom '' , she discovers that she is the Princess of Friendship and starts living in a magic castle after the destruction of her library home from previous seasons . Other crucial events impacting the series are the Cutie Mark Crusaders finally obtaining their cutie marks in the season 5 episode `` Crusaders of the Lost Mark '' ; the same season 's introduction of Starlight Glimmer , a villainous character who redeems herself and becomes Twilight 's pupil in the season finale `` The Cutie Re-Mark '' ; and Rainbow Dash fulfilling her lifelong dream of joining the elite Wonderbolts flight team in the season 6 episode `` Newbie Dash '' . Each season typically has a theme and overall story arc : a theme throughout the first season , for example , is ponies ' preparation for the Grand Galloping Gala that occurs in the final episode of that season . In season 4 , the Mane Six must find six keys to a mysterious box revealed after they relinquish the Elements of Harmony to their original source , the Tree of Harmony , to save Equestria ; in the season finale , it is revealed that they had already obtained the keys , in the form of gifts they received during the season from people they helped . Cast and characters Main article : List of My Little Pony : Friendship Is Magic characters The cast of Friendship Is Magic , presented as a poster at the 2011 San Diego Comic - Con . Major characters include ( mid-front row , starting sixth from left ) Rainbow Dash , Pinkie Pie , Applejack , Twilight Sparkle , Fluttershy , Spike and Rarity . The poster also includes minor characters and those named by the fandom , including Derpy , DJ Pon - 3 , and Doctor Hooves . The show revolves around the adventures and daily life of the unicorn pony Twilight Sparkle ( voiced by Tara Strong ) , her baby dragon assistant Spike ( Cathy Weseluck ) , and her friends in Ponyville , colloquially referred to as the `` Mane Six '' : Rainbow Dash ( Ashleigh Ball ) , a tomboyish pegasus pony who helps control the weather , and aspires to be a part of Equestria 's famous flying team , the Wonderbolts ; Rarity ( Tabitha St. Germain ) , a glamorous unicorn with a flair for fashion design ; Fluttershy ( Andrea Libman ) , a shy and timid pegasus pony who is fond of nature and takes care of animals ; Pinkie Pie ( Libman ) , a hyperactive pony who loves throwing parties ; Applejack ( Ball ) , a hard - working pony who works on her family 's apple farm . Other main characters are the Cutie Mark Crusaders , consisting of Applejack 's younger sister Apple Bloom ( Michelle Creber ) , Rarity 's younger sister Sweetie Belle ( Claire Corlett ) , and Scootaloo ( Madeleine Peters ) . The two alicorns ruling over Equestria , Twilight 's mentor Princess Celestia ( Nicole Oliver ) , and the younger Princess Luna ( St. Germain ) , also appear regularly ; another alicorn , Princess Cadance ( Britt McKillip ) , is introduced in the season two finale `` A Canterlot Wedding '' and oversees the northern Crystal Empire alongside her husband Shining Armor ( Andrew Francis ) , a unicorn who is also Twilight 's older brother . The season five premiere `` The Cutie Map '' introduces Starlight Glimmer ( Kelly Sheridan ) , an antagonist who subsequently becomes Twilight 's pupil in the season finale , `` The Cutie Re-Mark '' . Many friends , family members , and other residents of Ponyville appear frequently , including Applejack 's older brother Big McIntosh ( Peter New ) and grandmother Granny Smith ( St. Germain ) ; the Crusaders ' teacher Cheerilee ( Oliver ) and nemeses Diamond Tiara ( Chantal Strand ) and Silver Spoon ( Shannon Chan - Kent ) ; the town 's mayor , Mayor Mare ( Weseluck ) ; and the muscular pegasus Bulk Biceps ( Michael Dobson ) . Notable secondary characters outside of Ponyville include the self - proclaimed `` great and powerful '' traveling magician Trixie ( Kathleen Barr ) ; the eccentric zebra Zecora ( Brenda Crichlow ) , who lives in the nearby Everfree Forest and dabbles in herbal medicine ; the Wonderbolts Spitfire ( Kelly Metzger ) and Soarin ( Matt Hill ) ; and Pinkie Pie 's older sister Maud ( Ingrid Nilson ) , who rarely expresses emotion and is obsessed with rocks . The Mane Six also face several villains ; one of them , the chimera - like trickster Discord ( John de Lancie ) , is introduced in season 2 and subsequently becomes a recurring character of the show . The show also features an extensive cast of over 200 minor background characters . Several of these background ponies became fan favorites , leading to them having their roles expanded ; the show 's one - hundredth episode `` Slice of Life '' focuses almost entirely on some the most popular of them .

A section of the Hasbro website gives information about Friendship Is Magic for children and their parents , including character backgrounds , videos , and interactive games and media . Due in part to the older fans , Hasbro has come to see My Little Pony as a `` lifestyle '' brand , with over 200 licenses in 15 categories of products , including clothing , houseware , and digital media . The brand grossed over 650 million USD in retail sales in 2013 , and one billion USD annually in retail sales in 2014 and 2015 . My Little Pony : The Movie , a theatrical animated film adaptation of the television series , was released on October 6 , 2017 in the United States , distributed by Lionsgate . The film is directed by series supervising director Jayson Thiessen and written by showrunner Meghan McCarthy , and is financed by Hasbro Studios ' film subdivision , Allspark Pictures . Reception Critical reception The series has received positive reviews from critics . Todd VanDerWerff of The A.V. Club favorably noted its `` sheer and utter joyfulness '' and lack of cynicism , unlike many other shows that garnered a cult following of parents and adults . He complimented the characters ' stylized appearance , the stories ' relative complexity for children 's television , and the solid jokes which make the show enjoyable for parents as well as children . He gave the series a B+ . The show has been critically praised for its humor and moral outlook by Brian Truitt of USA Today . Genevieve Koski of The A.V. Club later commented that Friendship Is Magic is an example of a show that , while considered `` girly '' , has been able to tap into the nerd culture to allow it to gain wider acceptance than other comparable forms . Emily Ashby of Common Sense Media , an organization focusing on the parenting aspect of children 's media , gave the show a rating of four out of five stars , emphasizing its messages of friendship , tolerance and respect , but advised parents to be wary of the `` influence the characters might have on their kids ' desires , since it 's rooted in a well - known product line of books , toys , and just about everything in between . '' Liz Ohanesian , for L.A. Weekly , said that the show is `` absolutely genuine in its messages about friendship but never takes itself too seriously '' . Matt Morgan , writing for Wired 's `` GeekDad '' column , praised the show for having `` rebooted the long - time Hasbro property while managing to lace it with geeky undertones '' and being one of the few `` girl - focused shows that a geeky dad can appreciate with his daughter '' . Los Angeles Times critic Robert Lloyd called the show `` smarter and sassier and more aesthetically sophisticated '' than any of the previous My Little Pony cartoons , and praised its ability to appeal to both children and their parents , in that it is `` smart and sprightly and well - staged , and never horribly cute '' . TV Guide listed Friendship Is Magic as one of the top sixty animated shows of all time in a September 2013 list . Kathleen Richter of Ms. believed that Friendship Is Magic did little to change the nature of older animations for girls , which she considered `` so sexist and racist and heteronormative . '' For example , she suggested that , through the character of Rainbow Dash , the show was promoting the stereotype that `` all feminists are angry , tomboyish lesbians . '' She also considered that the only darker - colored ponies shown to date were in positions of servitude towards the `` white pony overlord . '' Lauren Faust responded to these claims by stating that while Rainbow Dash was a tomboy , `` nowhere in the show is her sexual orientation ever referenced '' and `` assuming ( tomboys ) are lesbians is extremely unfair to both straight and lesbian tomboys '' , and further stating that `` Color has never , ever been depicted as a race indicator for the ponies . '' Amid Amidi , writing for the animation website Cartoon Brew , was more critical of the concept of the show , calling it a sign of `` the end of the creator - driven era in TV animation '' . Amidi 's essay expressed concern that assigning a talent like Faust to a toy - centric show was part of a trend towards a focus on profitable genres of animation , such as toy tie - ins , to deal with a fragmented viewing audience , and overall `` an admission of defeat for the entire movement , a white flag - waving moment for the TV animation industry . '' Ratings Friendship Is Magic originally premiered with an average viewership of 1.4 million per month , but expanded to 4 million per month by the end of the first season , making it the highest - rated of any Hasbro offering at the time . Advertising Age reports that the viewership doubled between the first and the second season .

The response from the Internet has been traced to cartoon and animation fans on the Internet board 4chan , responding to Amidi 's negative essay regarding the show and current trends in animation . As a result of the discussion on 4chan , interest in the show spread throughout other parts of the Internet , creating a large fanbase and a multitude of creative works , fan sites , and conventions . The fanbase has adopted the name `` brony '' ( a portmanteau of `` bro '' and `` pony '' ) to describe themselves . The older fanbase had come as a surprise to Hasbro and staff members involved with the show . They have appreciated and embraced the fandom , adding nods to the fans within the show and the toys , while , early on , allowing the creative elements of the fandom to flourish without legal interference . Other Director Adam McKay was inspired by the visuals of Friendship Is Magic , which his daughters had watched frequently , in creating a short for Morgan Spurlock 's 2014 educational / documentary web series , `` We the Economy '' , using cartoon alpacas in the same style as the show to explain about income inequality . In early 2016 , Hasbro was sued by Font Brothers over Hasbro 's use of the font `` Generation B '' for much of its product packaging and marketing with the Friendship Is Magic show and toyline , including the `` Friendship Is Magic '' text in the show 's logo . Font Brothers claim that Hasbro has been using this font in an unlicensed manner and is seeking up to $150,000 for each violation of its use . Dialogue from a My Little Pony : Friendship Is Magic episode was brought up during the 2016 Republican National Convention by a member of the Convention to defend Melania Trump against accusations of plagiarism .

[ "My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic is a children's animated fantasy television series created[3] by Lauren Faust for Hasbro. The series is based on Hasbro's My Little Pony line of toys and animated works and is often referred by collectors as the fourth generation (\"G4\") of the franchise. The series premiered on October 10, 2010, on The Hub cable channel. Hasbro selected animator Lauren Faust as the creative director and executive producer for the show. Faust sought to challenge the established nature of the existing My Little Pony line, creating more in-depth characters and adventurous settings; she left the series during season 2, to be replaced by Meghan McCarthy as showrunner." ]

[ "\n\nNo.\noverall\nNo. in\nseason\nTitle\nDirected by\nWritten by\nOriginal air date\nProd.\ncode\nU.S. viewers\n(millions)\n\n\n171\n1\n\"The One After 'I Do'\"\nKevin S. Bright\nDavid Crane & Marta Kauffman\nSeptember 27, 2001 (2001-09-27)\n227401\n31.70[2]\n\n\n\nEverybody thinks Monica's pregnant, but her denial quickly shifts the focus to Phoebe, who takes the heat off of Rachel--who is actually pregnant. Chandler's shoes are slippery, rendering his dance lessons useless. Joey tries to impress a Broadway director. Ross dances with children to impress Monica's attractive, funny friend Mona, which leads to him getting injured quite a bit.\nNote: This episode is dedicated to \"The people of New York City\" to remember the September 11 attacks.\n\n\n172\n2\n\"The One with the Red Sweater\"\nDavid Schwimmer\nDana Klein Borkow\nOctober 4, 2001 (2001-10-04)\n227402\n30.04[2]\n\n\nRachel won't tell anybody who the father of her baby is until she tells him. Joey tells Monica and Phoebe that a guy slept with Rachel a few weeks earlier, and left a red sweater behind. Phoebe thinks it's Tag Jones and arranges a meeting for Rachel with him. Ross and Chandler attempt to recreate the wedding pictures, after Chandler loses the disposable cameras. Monica opens all of her and Chandler's wedding presents. Monica, Joey and Phoebe find out that Tag is not the father of Rachel's baby. They're still pondering the mystery when the red sweater is spotted in front of them and retrieved by its owner: Ross.\n\n\n173\n3\n\"The One Where Rachel Tells...\"\nSheldon Epps\nSherry Bilsing & Ellen Plummer\nOctober 11, 2001 (2001-10-11)\n227403\n29.20[2]\n\n\n\nChandler and Monica prepare to leave for their honeymoon as Rachel prepares to tell the father of her baby. Phoebe and Joey try to get into Monica and Chandler's apartment by telling Mr. Treeger there is a gas leak. However, not all goes to plan when Treeger, who could not find Monica and Chandler's key, orders firefighters to break down the door.\nNote: There was a subplot of Chandler and Monica's honeymoon that was completely shot and filmed but ultimately never aired. It involved Chandler playfully joking about bombs when preparing to board first-class. The airport security mistake Chandler's joke as a real threat then take him and Monica to interrogation. Towards the end of the episode they're determined not to be a threat to the aircraft, but shortly after their release Joey calls Monica and pretends that there is a gas leak in their apartment in an attempt to cover for the broken door. When Joey asked her whether they'll charge them for the damage of breaking down the door, she sarcastically replied, \"No, I want you to stand there and wait for the entire place to blow up!\", causing the authorities to re-interrogate the couple. Following 9/11, the writers felt the humor of this subplot was off color and quickly replaced it with a story about Chandler and Monica getting jealous over another newly married couple who got free perks by arriving just before they did. The cut scenes from this episode were later shown as a special feature on the 2004 UK version of the DVDs.\n\n\n174\n4\n\"The One with the Videotape\"\nKevin S. Bright\nScott Silveri\nOctober 18, 2001 (2001-10-18)\n227406\n25.58[2]\n\n\nRoss and Rachel disagree over who came onto whom when they hooked up, with Rachel (and the group) sure that Ross was the initiator of their pregnancy-causing sex and Ross being sure that Rachel hit on him first. He wants to prove it and accidentally reveals that he has the encounter on videotape. Rachel goes from being disgusted to being intrigued, and everyone watches the tape where they find out that Ross was right because Rachel used Joey's patented \"story that leads to having sex\". Monica and Chandler meet another couple while on their honeymoon.\n\n\n175\n5\n\"The One with Rachel's Date\"\nGary Halvorson\nBrian Buckner & Sebastian Jones\nOctober 25, 2001 (2001-10-25)\n227404\n25.64[2]\n\n\n\nPhoebe begins dating a guy who works for Monica, causing a problem when Phoebe wants to dump him on the same day Monica plans to fire him. A guy at Chandler's work thinks that Chandler's name is Toby. Rachel goes on a date with Joey's costar, despite being pregnant, much to Ross' annoyance.\nNote: This episode is dedicated to the memory of Richard Cox, Sr., father of Courteney Cox.\n\n\n176\n6\n\"The One with the Halloween Party\"\nGary Halvorson\nMark Kunerth\nNovember 1, 2001 (2001-11-01)\n227405\n26.96[2]\n\n\nMonica and Chandler are throwing a Halloween Party.

Chief Election Commissioner of India is usually a member of the Indian Civil Service and mostly from the Indian Administrative Service . It is very difficult to remove the authority of the Chief Election Commissioner once appointed by the president , as two - thirds of the Lok Sabha and the Rajya Sabha need to vote against him for disorderly conduct or improper actions . Despite the recent changes in the hierarchy , the system always had powers to impose unambiguous rules and guidelines that applied across the entire nation e.g. as to how the ballots will be cast and counted , what will be regarded as ' unqualified ' vote . India was probably one of the first countries in the World to go for a completely electronic ballot in the last elections . What made this remarkable was that the Election Commission of India had successfully implemented this across the entire diverse Indian population that also consisted of the rural illiterate people . While the office has always been an important one in the machinery of the Indian political process , it gained significant public attention during the tenure of T.N. Seshan , from 1990 to 1996 . Seshan is widely credited with undertaking a zealous effort to end corruption and manipulation in Indian elections . Though he made significant progress , several politicians attempted to derail these efforts . In particular , the expansion of the Election Commission to include the two Election Commissioners ( in addition to the Chief Commissioner ) was seen as a move to curtail the commissioner 's ability to act aggressively . Contents ( hide ) 1 Suggested reforms 2 Compensation 3 Chief Election Commissioners 4 References Suggested reforms ( edit ) In June 2012 , Lal Krishna Advani , a veteran Indian politician and former Deputy Prime Minister of India ( as well as former Leader of the Opposition in Indian Parliament ) , suggested that appointment of CEC ( as well as the Comptroller and Auditor General of India ( CAG ) ) should be made by a bipartisan collegium consisting of the Prime Minister , the Chief Justice , the Law Minister and the Leaders of the Opposition in the Lok Sabha and the Rajya Sabha . Subsequently , M Karunanidhi , the head of Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam ( DMK ) party and five times Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu supported the suggestion . Advani made this demand to remove any impression of bias or lack of transparency and fairness because , according to him , the current system was open to `` manipulation and partisanship '' . Similar demand was made by many former CEC 's such as BB Tandon , N Gopalaswamy and SY Quraishi . Compensation ( edit ) By the `` Election Commission ( Condition Of Service Of Election Commissions And Transaction Of Business ) Act , 1991 '' , the salary of the chief election commissioner is the same as salary of a Judge of Supreme Court of India . Salary of the Chief Election Commissioner Salary ₹ 250,000 ( US $3,700 ) monthly Chief Election Commissioners ( edit ) The following have held the post of the Chief Election Commissioner of India .

It was the flagship of the Cunard and White Star Lines . It Built by John Brown & Company in Clydebank , Scotland , Queen Mary , along with RMS Queen Elizabeth , were built as part of Cunard 's planned two - ship weekly express service between Southampton , Cherbourg and New York . The two ships were a British response to the express superliners built by German , Italian and French companies in the late 1920s and early 1930s . Queen Mary was the flagship of the Cunard Line from May 1936 until October 1946 when she was replaced in that role by Queen Elizabeth . Queen Mary sailed on her maiden voyage on 27 May 1936 and captured the Blue Riband in August of that year ; she lost the title to SS Normandie in 1937 and recaptured it in 1938 , holding it until 1952 when she was beaten by the new SS United States . With the outbreak of the Second World War , she was converted into a troopship and ferried Allied soldiers for the duration of the war . Following the war , Queen Mary was refitted for passenger service and along with Queen Elizabeth commenced the two - ship transatlantic passenger service for which the two ships were initially built . The two ships dominated the transatlantic passenger transportation market until the dawn of the jet age in the late 1950s . By the mid-1960s , Queen Mary was ageing and , though still among the most popular transatlantic liners , was operating at a loss . After several years of decreased profits for Cunard Line , Queen Mary was officially retired from service in 1967 . She left Southampton for the last time on 31 October 1967 and sailed to the port of Long Beach , California , United States , where she remains permanently moored . Much of the machinery , including one of the two engine rooms , three of the four propellers , and all of the boilers , were removed . The ship serves as a tourist attraction featuring restaurants , a museum and a hotel . The ship is listed on the National Register of Historic Places . The National Trust for Historic Preservation has accepted the Queen Mary as part of the Historic Hotels of America .

White Star Line began construction on their 80,000 - ton Oceanic in 1928 , while Cunard planned a 75,000 - ton unnamed ship of their own . Overhead view of Queen Mary docked at Long Beach in 2008 Overhead view of Queen Mary docked at Long Beach in 2008 Construction on the ship , then known only as `` Hull Number 534 '' , began in December 1930 on the River Clyde by the John Brown & Company shipyard at Clydebank in Scotland . Work was halted in December 1931 due to the Great Depression and Cunard applied to the British Government for a loan to complete 534 . The loan was granted , with enough money to complete the unfinished ship , and also to build a running mate , with the intention to provide the weekly service to New York with just two ships . One condition of the loan was that Cunard would merge with the White Star Line , which was Cunard 's chief British rival at the time and which had already been forced by the depression to cancel construction of its Oceanic . Both lines agreed and the merger was completed on 10 May 1934 . Work on Queen Mary resumed immediately and she was launched on 26 September 1934 . Completion ultimately took ​ 3 ⁄ years and cost 3.5 million pounds sterling . Much of the ship 's interior was designed and constructed by the Bromsgrove Guild . Prior to launch the River Clyde had to be specifically deepened to cope with her size , this being undertaken by the enginer D. Alan Stevenson . The ship was named after Mary of Teck , consort of King George V. Until her launch , the name she was to be given was kept a closely guarded secret . Legend has it that Cunard intended to name the ship Victoria , in keeping with company tradition of giving its ships names ending in `` ia '' , but when company representatives asked the king 's permission to name the ocean liner after Britain 's `` greatest queen '' , he said his wife , Mary of Teck , would be delighted . And so , the legend goes , the delegation had of course no other choice but to report that No. 534 would be called Queen Mary . This story was denied by company officials , and traditionally the names of sovereigns have only been used for capital ships of the Royal Navy . Some support for the story was provided by Washington Post editor Felix Morley , who sailed as a guest of the Cunard Line on Queen Mary 's 1936 maiden voyage . In his 1979 autobiography , For the Record , Morley wrote that he was placed at table with Sir Percy Bates , chairman of the Cunard Line . Bates told him the story of the naming of the ship `` on condition you wo n't print it during my lifetime . '' The name Queen Mary could also have been decided upon as a compromise between Cunard and the White Star Line , as both lines had traditions of using names either ending in `` ic '' with White Star and `` ia '' with Cunard . The name had already been given to the Clyde turbine steamer TS Queen Mary , so Cunard made an arrangement with its owners and this older ship was renamed Queen Mary II . Queen Mary was fitted with 24 Yarrow boilers in four boiler rooms and four Parsons turbines in two engine rooms . The boilers delivered 400 pounds per square inch ( 28 bar ) steam at 700 ° F ( 371 ° C ) which provided a maximum of 212,000 shp ( 158,000 kW ) to four propellers , each turning at 200 RPM . Queen Mary achieved 32.84 knots on her acceptance trials in early 1936 . History ( 1934 -- 1939 ) ( edit ) In 1934 the new liner was launched by Queen Mary as RMS Queen Mary . On her way down the slipway , Queen Mary was slowed by eighteen drag chains , which checked the liner 's progress into the River Clyde , a portion of which had been widened to accommodate the launch . When she sailed on her maiden voyage from Southampton on 27 May 1936 , she was commanded by Sir Edgar T. Britten , who had been the master designate for Cunard White Star whilst the ship was under construction at the John Brown shipyard . Queen Mary measured 80,774 gross register tons ( GRT ) . Her rival Normandie , which originally grossed 79,280 tonnes , had been modified the preceding winter to increase her size to 83,243 GRT ( an enclosed tourist lounge was built on the aft boat deck on the area where the game court was ) , and therefore reclaimed the title of the world 's largest ocean liner from the Queen Mary , who only held it for a few weeks . Queen Mary sailed at high speeds for most of her maiden voyage to New York , until heavy fog forced a reduction of speed on the final day of the crossing , arriving in New York Harbor on 1 June 1936 . A Queen Mary baggage tag Queen Mary 's design was criticised for being too traditional , especially when Normandie 's hull was revolutionary with a clipper - shaped , streamlined bow . Except for her cruiser stern , she seemed to be an enlarged version of her Cunard predecessors from the pre -- First World War era . Her interior design , while mostly Art Deco , seemed restrained and conservative when compared to the ultramodern French liner . Queen Mary proved to be the more popular vessel than her larger rival , in terms of passengers carried . `` It 's Men That Count '' , a late 1930s promotional poster for the Cunard Line In August 1936 , Queen Mary captured the Blue Riband from Normandie , with average speeds of 30.14 knots ( 55.82 km / h ; 34.68 mph ) westbound and 30.63 knots ( 56.73 km / h ; 35.25 mph ) eastbound . Normandie was refitted with a new set of propellers in 1937 and reclaimed the honour , but in 1938 Queen Mary took back the Blue Riband in both directions with average speeds of 30.99 knots ( 57.39 km / h ; 35.66 mph ) westbound and 31.69 knots ( 58.69 km / h ; 36.47 mph ) eastbound , records which stood until lost to United States in 1952 . Interior ( edit ) Among facilities available on board Queen Mary , the liner featured two indoor swimming pools , beauty salons , libraries and children 's nurseries for all three classes , a music studio and lecture hall , telephone connectivity to anywhere in the world , outdoor paddle tennis courts and dog kennels . The largest room onboard was the cabin class ( first class ) main dining room ( grand salon ) , spanning three stories in height and anchored by wide columns . The cabin - class swimming pool facility spanned over two decks in height . This was the first ocean liner to be equipped with her own Jewish prayer room -- part of a policy to show that British shipping lines avoided the racism evident at that time in Nazi Germany . The cabin - class main dining room featured a large map of the transatlantic crossing , with twin tracks symbolising the winter / spring route ( further south to avoid icebergs ) and the summer / autumn route . During each crossing , a motorised model of Queen Mary would indicate the vessel 's progress en route . As an alternative to the main dining room , Queen Mary featured a separate cabin - class Verandah Grill on the Sun Deck at the upper aft of the ship . The Verandah Grill was an exclusive à la carte restaurant with a capacity of approximately eighty passengers , and was converted to the Starlight Club at night . Also on board was the Observation Bar , an Art Deco - styled lounge with wide ocean views . Woods from different regions of the British Empire were used in her public rooms and staterooms . Accommodation ranged from fully equipped , luxurious cabin ( first ) class staterooms to modest and cramped third - class cabins . Artists commissioned by Cunard in 1933 for works of art in the interior include Edward Wadsworth and A. Duncan Carse . Queen Mary Art Deco Interiors Mural in the main dining room , or `` Grand Salon '' on which a crystal model tracked the ship 's progress First class dining room , now known as the `` Grand Salon '' Observation Bar lounge . The windows were once part of the enclosed Promenade Deck turnaround ; the lounge was extended forward after 1967 . Second World war ( edit ) Arriving in New York Harbor , 20 June 1945 , with thousands of US soldiers -- there is a prominent degaussing coil running around the outer hull . In late August 1939 , Queen Mary was on a return run from New York to Southampton . The international situation led to her being escorted by the battlecruiser HMS Hood . She arrived safely , and set out again for New York on 1 September . By the time she arrived , the Second World War had started and she was ordered to remain in port alongside Normandie until further notice . In March 1940 Queen Mary and Normandie were joined in New York by Queen Mary 's new sister ship Queen Elizabeth , fresh from her secret dash from Clydebank . The three largest liners in the world sat idle for some time until the Allied commanders decided that all three ships could be used as troopships . Normandie was destroyed by fire during her troopship conversion . Queen Mary left New York for Sydney , Australia , where she , along with several other liners , was converted into a troopship to carry Australian and New Zealand soldiers to the United Kingdom . Queen Mary 's forward superstructure , shown here in Long Beach . When she came to Long Beach , the Sun Deck windows were enlarged and an anti-aircraft gun was placed on display astride the foremast to represent the Second World War days of the liner . In the Second World War conversion , the ship 's hull , superstructure and funnels were painted navy grey . As a result of her new colour , and in combination with her great speed , she became known as the `` Grey Ghost . '' To protect against magnetic mines , a degaussing coil was fitted around the outside of the hull . Inside , stateroom furniture and decoration were removed and replaced with triple - tiered wooden bunks , which were later replaced by standee bunks . Six miles of carpet , 220 cases of china , crystal and silver service , tapestries and paintings were removed and stored in warehouses for the duration of the war . The woodwork in the staterooms , the cabin - class dining room and other public areas was covered with leather . Queen Mary and Queen Elizabeth were the largest and fastest troopships involved in the war , often carrying as many as 15,000 men in a single voyage , and often travelling out of convoy and without escort . Their high speed and zigzag courses made it virtually impossible for U-boats to catch them . On 2 October 1942 , Queen Mary accidentally sank one of her escort ships , slicing through the light cruiser HMS Curacoa off the Irish coast with a loss of 239 lives . Queen Mary was carrying thousands of Americans of the 29th Infantry Division to join the Allied forces in Europe . Due to the risk of U-boat attacks , Queen Mary was under orders not to stop under any circumstances and steamed onward with a fractured stem . Some sources claim that hours later , the convoy 's lead escort returned to rescue 99 survivors of Curacoa 's crew of 338 , including her captain John W. Boutwood . This claim is contradicted by the liner 's then Staff Captain ( and later Cunard Commodore ) Harry Grattidge , who records that Queen Mary 's Captain immediately ordered the accompanying destroyers to look for survivors within moments of the Curacoa 's sinking . In 25 -- 30 July 1943 , Queen Mary carried 15,740 soldiers and 943 crews ( total 16,683 ) , a standing record for the most passengers ever transported on one vessel . During this trip , while 700 miles ( 1,100 km ) from Scotland during a gale , she was suddenly hit broadside by a rogue wave that may have reached a height of 28 metres ( 92 ft ) . An account of this crossing can be found in Carter 's book . As quoted in the book , Carter 's father , Dr. Norval Carter , part of the 110th Station Hospital on board at the time , wrote in a letter that at one point Queen Mary `` damned near capsized ... One moment the top deck was at its usual height and then , swoom ! Down , over , and forward she would pitch . '' It was calculated later that the ship rolled 52 degrees , and would have capsized had she rolled another 3 degrees . The incident inspired Paul Gallico to write his novel , The Poseidon Adventure ( 1969 ) and carry the incident to a fictional extreme . This was adapted as a 1972 film by the same name , in which the SS Poseidon is turned upside - down , and the trapped passengers try to escape . Parts of the film were shot in the actual Queen Mary , conveniently docked in Long Beach . During the war Queen Mary carried British Prime Minister Winston Churchill across the Atlantic for meetings with fellow Allied forces officials on several occasions . He was listed on the passenger manifest as `` Colonel Warden '' . The ship was also used to return American troops from Europe after the war . Post second World war ( edit ) Southampton 1960 Queen Mary on the North Sea , 1959 Queen Mary at New York , c. 1961 After delivering a load of war brides to Canada , Queen Mary made her fastest ever crossing , returning to Southampton in only three days , 22 hours and 42 minutes at an average speed of just under 32 knots ( 59 km / h ) . From September 1946 to July 1947 , Queen Mary was refitted for passenger service , adding air conditioning and upgrading her berth configuration to 711 first class ( formerly called cabin class ) , 707 cabin class ( formerly tourist class ) and 577 tourist class ( formerly third class ) passengers . Following refit , Queen Mary and Queen Elizabeth dominated the transatlantic passenger trade as Cunard White Star 's two - ship weekly express service through the latter half of the 1940s and well into the 1950s . They proved highly profitable for Cunard ( as the company was renamed in 1947 ) . On 1 January 1949 , Queen Mary ran aground off Cherbourg , France . She was refloated the next day and returned to service . In 1958 the first transatlantic flight by a jet began a completely new era of competition for the Cunard Queens . On some voyages , winters especially , Queen Mary sailed into harbour with more crew than passengers , though both she and Queen Elizabeth still averaged over 1,000 passengers per crossing into the middle 1960s . By 1965 , the entire Cunard fleet was operating at a loss . Hoping to continue financing the Queen Elizabeth 2 which was under construction at Brown 's shipyard , Cunard mortgaged the majority of the fleet . Due to a combination of age , lack of public interest , inefficiency in a new market and the damaging after effects of the national seamen 's strike , Cunard announced that both Queen Mary and Queen Elizabeth would be retired from service and sold off . Many offers were submitted , and the bid of $3.45 m / £ 1.2 m from Long Beach , California beat the Japanese scrap merchants . Queen Mary was featured in the 1966 action - adventure film Assault on a Queen starring Frank Sinatra . Queen Mary was retired from service in 1967 . On 27 September she completed her 1,000 th and last crossing of the North Atlantic , having carried 2,112,000 passengers over 3,792,227 miles ( 6,102,998 km ) . Under the command of Captain John Treasure Jones , who had been her captain since 1965 , she sailed from Southampton for the last time on 31 October with 1,093 passengers and 806 crew . After a voyage around Cape Horn , she arrived in Long Beach on 9 December . Queen Elizabeth was withdrawn in 1968 and Queen Elizabeth 2 took over the transatlantic route in 1969 . Long Beach ( edit ) Queen Mary from the northern side of Long Beach harbour Queen Mary is permanently moored as a tourist attraction , hotel , museum and event facility in Long Beach . From 1983 to 1993 , Howard Hughes ' plane H - 4 Hercules was located in a large dome nearby . The dome was later repurposed as a soundstage for film and television . The structure is now used by Carnival Cruise Lines as a ship terminal , as a venue for the Long Beach Derby Gals roller derby team and as an event venue . Since drilling had started for oil in Long Beach Harbor , some of the revenue had been set aside in the `` Tidelands Oil Fund . '' Some of this money was allocated in 1958 for the future purchase of a maritime museum for Long Beach . Conversion ( edit ) This section does not cite any sources .

( September 2015 ) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message ) Queen Mary from the stern When Queen Mary was bought by Long Beach , the new owners decided not to preserve her as an ocean liner . It had been decided to clear almost every area of the ship below `` C '' deck ( called `` R '' deck after 1950 , to lessen passenger confusion , as the restaurants were located on `` R '' deck ) to make way for Jacques Cousteau 's new Living Sea Museum . This increased museum space to 400,000 square feet ( 37,000 m ) . It required removal of all the boiler rooms , the forward engine room , both turbo generator rooms , the ship stabilisers and the water softening plant . The ship 's empty fuel tanks were filled with local mud to keep the ship 's centre of gravity and draft at the correct levels , as these critical factors had been affected by the removal of the various components and structure . Only the aft engine room and `` shaft alley '' , at the stern of the ship , would be spared . Remaining space would be used for storage or office space . One problem that arose during the conversion was a dispute between land - based and maritime unions over conversion jobs . The United States Coast Guard had final say . Queen Mary was deemed a building , since most of her propellers had been removed and her machinery gutted . The ship was also repainted with its red water level paint at a slightly higher level than previously . During the conversion the funnels were removed , as this area was needed to lift out the scrap materials from the engine and boiler rooms . Workers found that the funnels were significantly degraded and they were replaced with replicas . Passageway in First Class accommodation , now part of the onboard hotel With all of the lower decks nearly gutted from R deck and down , Diners Club , the initial lessee of the ship , converted the remainder of the vessel into a hotel . Diners Club Queen Mary dissolved and vacated the ship in 1970 after their parent company , Diners Club International , was sold , and a change in corporate direction was mandated during the conversion process . Specialty Restaurants , a Los Angeles - based company that focused on theme - based restaurants , took over as master lessee the following year . This second plan was based on converting most of her first - and second - class cabins on A and B decks into hotel rooms , and converting the main lounges and dining rooms into banquet spaces . On Promenade Deck , the starboard promenade was enclosed to feature an upscale restaurant and café named Lord Nelson 's and Lady Hamilton 's ; it was themed in the fashion of early - 19th century sailing ships . The famed and elegant Observation Bar was redecorated as a western - themed bar . Queen Mary 's bridge The smaller first - class public rooms , such as the Drawing Room , Library , Lecture Room and the Music Studio , would be stripped of most of their fittings and converted to commercial use . This markedly expanded retail space on the ship . Two more shopping malls were built on the Sun Deck in separate spaces previously used for first - class cabins and engineers ' quarters . A post-war feature of the ship , the first - class cinema , was removed for kitchen space for the new Promenade Deck dining venues . The first - class lounge and smoking room were reconfigured and converted into banquet space . The second - class smoking room was subdivided into a wedding chapel and office space . On the Sun Deck , the elegant Verandah Grill would be gutted and converted into a fast - food eatery , while a new upscale dining venue was created directly above it on Sports Deck , in space once used for crew quarters . Sun setting behind the Queen Mary in Long Beach . The second - class lounges were expanded to the sides of the ship and used for banqueting . On R deck , the first - class dining room was reconfigured and subdivided into two banquet venues , the Royal Salon and the Windsor Room . The second - class dining room was subdivided into kitchen storage and a crew mess hall , while the third - class dining room was initially used as storage and crew space . Also on R deck , the first - class Turkish bath complex , the 1930s equivalent to a spa , was removed . The second - class pool was removed and its space initially used for office space , while the first - class swimming pool was open for viewing by hotel guests and visitors . Because of modern safety codes and the compromised structural soundness of the area directly below , the swimming pool could not be used for swimming after the conversion , although it was filled with water until the late 1980s . Today the pool can only be seen on guided tours and is in a derelict condition , having never been maintained by the hotel operators . No second - class , third - class or crew cabins remain intact aboard the ship today . As a tourist attraction ( edit ) Ship as a hotel , with permanent boarding gangways On 8 May 1971 Queen Mary opened her doors to tourists . Initially , only portions of the ship were open to the public as Specialty Restaurants had yet to open its dining venues and PSA had not completed work converting the ship 's original First Class staterooms into the hotel . As a result , the ship was open only on weekends . On 11 December 1971 Jacques Cousteau 's Museum of the Sea opened , with a quarter of the planned exhibits completed . Within the decade , Cousteau 's museum closed due to low ticket sales and the deaths of many of the fish that were housed in the museum . On 2 November 1972 the PSA Hotel Queen Mary opened its initial 150 guest rooms . Two years later , with all 400 rooms finished , PSA brought in Hyatt Hotels to manage the hotel , which operated from 1974 to 1980 as the Queen Mary Hyatt Hotel . By 1980 , it had become apparent that the existing system was not working . The ship was losing millions each year for the city because the hotel , restaurants and museum were run by three separate concessionaires , while the city owned the vessel and operated guided tours . It was decided that a single operator with more experience in attractions was needed . Jack Wrather , a local millionaire , had fallen in love with the ship because he and his wife , Bonita Granville , had fond memories of sailing on it numerous times . Wrather signed a 66 - year lease with the city of Long Beach to operate the entire property . He oversaw the display of the Spruce Goose , on long - term loan . The immense plane , which had been sitting in a hangar in Long Beach for decades unseen by the public , was installed in a huge geodesic dome adjacent to the liner in 1983 , attracting increased attendance . His Wrather Port Properties operated the entire attraction after his death in 1984 until 1988 , when his holdings were bought by the Walt Disney Company . Wrather had built the Disneyland Hotel in 1955 , when Walt Disney had insufficient funds to construct the resort himself . Disney had been trying to buy the hotel for 30 years . When they finally succeeded , they also acquired the Queen Mary . This was never marketed as a Disney property . First Class accommodation on Queen Mary , converted into a present - day hotel room with modern curtains , bedding , fixtures and amenities surrounded by original wood panelling and portholes Through the late 1980s and early 1990s the Queen Mary struggled financially . Disney pinned their hopes for turning the attraction around on Port Disney , a huge planned resort on the adjacent docks . It was to include a theme park known as DisneySea , themed around the world 's oceans . The plans eventually fell through ; in 1992 Disney gave up the lease on the ship to focus on building what would become Disney California Adventure Park . The DisneySea concept was recycled a decade later in Japan as Tokyo DisneySea , with a recreated ocean liner resembling Queen Mary named the SS Columbia as the centrepiece of the American Waterfront area . With Disney gone , the Hotel Queen Mary closed on 30 September 1992 . The owners of the Spruce Goose , the Aero Club of Southern California , sold the plane to the Evergreen Aviation & Space Museum in Oregon . The plane departed on barges on 2 October 1992 , leaving the huge dome empty . The Queen Mary tourist attraction remained open for another two months , but on 31 December 1992 , the Queen Mary completely closed her doors to tourists and visitors . On 5 February 1993 , RMS Foundation , Inc signed a five - year lease with the city of Long Beach to act as the operators of the property . The foundation was run by President and C.E.O. Joseph F. Prevratil , who had managed the attraction for Wrather . On 26 February 1993 the tourist attraction reopened completely , while the hotel reopened partially on 5 March with 125 rooms and the banquet facilities , with the remainder of the rooms coming on line on 30 April . In 1995 , RMS Foundation 's lease was extended to twenty years , while the scope of the lease was reduced to operation of the ship . A new company , Queen 's Seaport Development , Inc . ( QSDI ) , was established in 1995 to control the real estate adjacent to the vessel . In 1998 , the city of Long Beach extended the QSDI lease to 66 years . Starboard sun deck , 1972 In 2005 , QSDI sought Chapter 11 protection due to a rent credit dispute with the city . In 2006 , the bankruptcy court requested bids from parties interested in taking over the lease from QSDI . The minimum required opening bid was $41 M. The operation of the ship , by RMS Foundation , remained independent of the bankruptcy . In summer 2007 , Queen Mary 's lease was sold to a group named `` Save the Queen , '' managed by Hostmark Hospitality Group . They planned to develop the land adjacent to Queen Mary , and upgrade , renovate and restore the ship . During their management , staterooms were updated with iPod docking stations and flatscreen TVs and the ship 's three funnels and waterline area were repainted their original Cunard Red color . The portside Promenade Deck 's planking was restored and refinished . Many lifeboats were repaired and patched , and the ship 's kitchens were renovated with new equipment . In 2004 , Queen Mary and Stargazer Productions added Tibbies Great American Cabaret to the space previously occupied by the ship 's bank and wireless telegraph room . Stargazer Productions and Queen Mary transformed the space into a working dinner theatre complete with stage , lights , sound and scullery . In late September 2009 , management of Queen Mary was taken over by Delaware North Companies , who plan to continue restoration and renovation of the ship and its property . They were determined to revitalise and enhance the ship as an attraction . But in April 2011 , The city of Long Beach was informed that Delaware North was no longer managing Queen Mary . Garrison Investment Group said this decision was purely business . Delaware North still manages Scorpion , a Soviet submarine that has been a separate attraction next to Queen Mary since 1998 . Evolution Hospitality , LLC . assumed operational control of the Queen Mary on 23 September 2011 , with Garrison Investments leasing Queen Mary . In 2016 Urban Commons , a real estate company , assumed the lease of the Queen Mary . They revealed plans to extensively renovate the liner over the next year , and to redevelop the adjacent 45 acres of parking with a boutique hotel , restaurants , a marina , an amphitheater , jogging trails , bike paths and possibly a huge Ferris wheel , all at a cost of up to $250 million . In July 2017 , while making repairs to a bathroom , workers discovered the ship 's forward gear room which had once controlled the ships 16 - ton anchors . The room was apparently sealed up during the 1960s conversion and was forgotten for decades . In 2017 a report on the ship 's condition was issued . The report noted that not only the hull but also the supports for a raised exhibition area within the ship were corroding , and that the ship 's deteriorating condition left areas such as the engine room vulnerable to flooding . Repairs were estimated at close to $300 million . In November 2016 the City of Long Beach had put $23 million toward addressing the Queen Mary 's most vital repairs . John Keisler , economic and property development director for Long Beach , said , `` We have a timeline in which the engineers believe they can complete those immediate projects . These are major challenges we can only address over time ; it ca n't all be done at once . '' Political leaders in Scotland , birthplace of the Queen Mary , have called for UK Prime Minister Theresa May to pressure the American government to fund a full repair of the liner . Meeting of the Queens ( edit ) Queen Mary and Queen Mary 2 meeting in Long Beach , California under the words `` HAIL TO THE QUEENS '' formed by skywriting On 23 February 2006 , RMS Queen Mary 2 saluted her predecessor as she made a port of call in Los Angeles Harbor , while on a cruise to Mexico . In March 2011 , Queen Mary was saluted by MS Queen Victoria while fireworks were going on , and on 12 March 2013 , MS Queen Elizabeth made a salute while there were fireworks . The salute was carried out with Queen Mary replying with her one working air horn in response to Queen Mary 2 sounding her combination of two brand new horns and an original 1934 Queen Mary horn ( on loan from the City of Long Beach ) . Queen Mary originally had three whistles tuned to 55 Hz , a frequency chosen because it was low enough that the extremely loud sound of it would not be painful to human ears . Modern IMO regulations specify ships ' horn frequencies to be in the range 70 -- 200 Hz for vessels that are over 200 metres ( 660 ft ) in length . Traditionally , the lower the frequency , the larger the ship . Queen Mary 2 , being 345 metres ( 1,132 ft ) long , was given the lowest possible frequency ( 70 Hz ) for her regulation whistles , in addition to the refurbished 55 Hz whistle on permanent loan . Fifty - five Hz is the `` A '' note an octave above the lowest note of a standard piano keyboard . The air - driven Tyfon whistle can be heard at least 10 miles ( 16 km ) away . Queen Mary 's wireless radio room W6RO ( edit ) Queen Mary 's original , professionally manned wireless radio room was removed when the ship was moored in Long Beach . In its place , an amateur radio room was created one deck above the original radio reception room , with some of the discarded original radio equipment used for display purposes . The amateur radio station , with the call sign W6RO ( `` Whiskey Six Romeo Oscar '' ) , relies on volunteers from a local amateur radio club . They staff the radio room during most public hours . The radios can also be used by other licensed amateur radio operators . In honour of his over forty years of dedication to W6RO and Queen Mary , in November 2007 the Queen Mary Wireless Room was renamed as the Nate Brightman Radio Room . This was announced on 28 October 2007 , at Brightman 's 90th birthday party by Joseph Prevratil , former President and CEO of the Queen Mary . Haunting Legends ( edit ) Following Queen Mary 's permanent docking in California , claims were made that the ship was haunted . One of the staterooms is alleged to be haunted by the spirit of a person who supposedly was murdered there . The Queen Mary operates commercial haunted attraction experiences , such as its `` Haunted Encounters Tour '' and `` Ghosts and Legends '' tour , which feature `` terrifying original stories and characters based the ship 's well - known paranormal tales '' . Skeptical Inquirer writer John Champion has criticized the haunted tours , calling them a `` cynical exploitation of the space '' and noting that much effort is put into promoting the ship as a `` haunted attraction '' , while efforts to explain or preserve the factual history of the ship are `` somehow pushed to the wayside '' .

where is the queen mary docked in california
[ "In 25–30 July 1943, Queen Mary carried 15,740 soldiers and 943 crews (total 16,683), a standing record for the most passengers ever transported on one vessel.[26] During this trip, while 700 miles (1,100 km) from Scotland during a gale, she was suddenly hit broadside by a rogue wave that may have reached a height of 28 metres (92 ft). An account of this crossing can be found in Carter's book.[27][28] As quoted in the book, Carter's father, Dr. Norval Carter, part of the 110th Station Hospital on board at the time, wrote in a letter that at one point Queen Mary \"damned near capsized... One moment the top deck was at its usual height and then, swoom! Down, over, and forward she would pitch.\" It was calculated later that the ship rolled 52 degrees, and would have capsized had she rolled another 3 degrees.[27] The incident inspired Paul Gallico to write his novel, The Poseidon Adventure (1969) and carry the incident to a fictional extreme. This was adapted as a 1972 film by the same name, in which the SS Poseidon is turned upside-down, and the trapped passengers try to escape. Parts of the film were shot in the actual Queen Mary, conveniently docked in Long Beach.\n" ]

As she is in the hospital , she ca n't go to her mother 's funeral but her father , surprisingly , shows up . Amy has inherited her mother 's gift of being able to intuit the needs of horses and of practicing natural horsemanship . When Amy returns home , she decides to continue her mother 's work of healing abused or damaged horses , including Spartan , the horse that her mother died saving . Amy also has to deal with the return of her older sister , Lou , who had been living in New York City . Before Marion died , she had agreed to allow Ty Borden to live at Heartland as part of his probation . When Ty arrives , Amy 's grandfather accepts his late daughter 's wishes , allowing Ty to live in the loft above the barn and work at Heartland as a ranch hand . Over time , he begins to assist Amy in healing the horses that arrive at Heartland . Amy grows close to Ty and becomes friends with him , later falling in love , although their relationship is rocky at times and they break up more than once . Later in the show , while working with a pair of horses , they manage to make amends , with Ty giving Amy a promise ring in season 3 . In the last episode of season 5 , Ty secretly makes plans to propose to Amy , but after hearing her say how they should never `` tie themselves down '' , he decides against it . However , while answering Ty 's ringing phone , Amy finds the ring in his coat pocket , thus ending the season with a cliffhanger . At the beginning of season 6 , she and Ty discuss the ring and marriage , and a few episodes later , Ty finds the perfect moment to propose to Amy , and she accepts . In Season 8 , Amy and Ty break up again for a while . Amy and Ty get back together when they rescue a herd of horses penned by ranchers who believed the horses to be detrimental to the land required for their cattle . In the end , Ty and Amy are married in Jack 's house . Amy is escorted by both Tim and Jack , and she rides in on Spartan . In Season 9 , Tim and Jack renovate the loft with some help from Ty when he 's not busy with school and working at Scott 's vet clinic . Once complete , Amy and Ty move into the loft . Amy announces to Ty at the end of season 9 that he is to become a father . In season 10 , Amy goes through the changes of pregnancy without Ty by her side , as he is away in Mongolia to save Gobi bears , a decision in which Amy supported Ty . They regularly communicate through Skype , though she misses having him nearby . At the end of Season 10 , Amy gives birth at home to a baby girl , Lyndy Marion . Graham Wardle as Tyler `` Ty '' Borden Wardle As a child , Ty was abused by his stepfather Wade . He was arrested and sent to Juvenile hall for attacking Wade while he assaulted Ty 's mother . To complete his probation , Marion Fleming offered him a job as a ranch hand at Heartland . He soon begins to enjoy his life there and decides to stay after completing his probation , though he leaves for a short period to live with his biological father in Calgary . Jack treats Ty like a son and is very proud of him , especially after he earns his high school diploma and decides to study to become a vet . Ty at first is known as the `` new cute guy '' by Amy 's friends , and Amy quickly falls for him . Ty dated Kit Bailey , a local cowgirl , for a time before he admitted his feelings for Amy . He and Amy have a tumultuous relationship over the subsequent seasons . In the final episode of Season 5 , Ty buys a ring with plans to propose to Amy . But after hearing Amy say they should never `` tie themselves down '' , he rethinks his proposal . Amy later finds the ring in Ty 's coat pocket while answering his ringing phone . In Season 6 , Ty and Amy agree to wait , and Ty is accepted to vet school . After a few episodes , Ty and Amy find themselves in the perfect moment while camping , and he proposes to her . She accepts , and they are married in Season 8 , episode 18 . In the last episode of season 9 , Amy tells Ty that he is going to become a father . In Season 10 , Ty is away in Mongolia along with Bob , working with Veterinarians Without Borders to save the last of the Gobi bears . As a result , he is unable to be by Amy 's side throughout her pregnancy , but they communicate frequently through Skype . Near the end of the season , Ty contracts a potentially life - threatening illness from a tick bite , and returns to Calgary in critical condition . He is immediately taken to the hospital , where they help him to slowly recover . At the end of the season , Caleb breaks Ty out of the hospital ( where he was being kept while the doctors ran additional tests to ensure he was cured ) so that Ty can participate in Caleb 's wedding to Cass as the best man . However , Amy goes into labour as they arrive at the church and they rush home for the birth of their daughter . Michelle Morgan as Samantha Louise `` Lou '' Fleming Morris Morgan At the beginning of the series , Lou moves back home from her job in New York City to help run Heartland .

Upon discovering Heartland 's poor economic situation , she crafts a financial plan to pull the ranch out of debt and make it successful . However , she is told by a financial advisor at the bank that her presence at the ranch is essential to secure the loan necessary to implement her plan . Once Lou decides to stay , she runs the business end of Heartland , taking care of appointments and setting rates for stabling patient horses . She later sets her mind to starting a new business venture : The Heartland Equestrian Connection . This idea is met with much resistance , especially from Jack . Family members derisively refer to the business as the `` Dude Ranch '' , and the name sticks , though no longer with its negative connotation .

She meets her future husband , Peter , thanks to a setup by Jack 's girlfriend Lisa , and starts a secret relationship with him due to Peter 's job in the oil industry .

After several failed attempts to buy a place of their own and even to build a home somewhere on the 600 acre property at Heartland , Lou and Peter buy Mr. Hanley 's ranch from Mrs. Bell and they plan to move into it and refurbish it . However , faulty wiring in the structure causes a fire , and the buildings and stables burn , leaving them no choice but to remain at Heartland .

In Season 6 , Lou and Peter decide to adopt an orphan named Georgina Crawley , whom Jack had been fostering after discovering her hiding in the loft .

When Ty seeks permission from Jack to ask for Amy 's hand in marriage , Jack gives him his blessing . In terms of personality , Jack is very stubborn and reluctant to accept change of any kind .

who does lou end up with on heartland
[ "At the beginning of the series, Lou moves back home from her job in New York City to help run Heartland. She is initially reluctant to stay in Hudson because she has a long-term boyfriend and a lucrative job in New York. Upon discovering Heartland's poor economic situation, she crafts a financial plan to pull the ranch out of debt and make it successful. However, she is told by a financial advisor at the bank that her presence at the ranch is essential to secure the loan necessary to implement her plan. Once Lou decides to stay, she runs the business end of Heartland, taking care of appointments and setting rates for stabling patient horses. She later sets her mind to starting a new business venture: The Heartland Equestrian Connection. This idea is met with much resistance, especially from Jack. Family members derisively refer to the business as the \"Dude Ranch\", and the name sticks, though no longer with its negative connotation. Along the way, Lou breaks up with her boyfriend from New York and tries to re-kindle a romance with the local vet, Scott Cardinal. In season two, Lou's relationship with Scott dissolves. She meets her future husband, Peter, thanks to a setup by Jack's girlfriend Lisa, and starts a secret relationship with him due to Peter's job in the oil industry. Lou had previously rallied the local ranchers against Peter's oil company, and expects Jack would not approve of her choice of boyfriend. Later, Lou's relationship with Peter is more public and they marry at the end of season 3. They move to Dubai, but she soon feels very alone in such a foreign country and grows to miss Heartland and her family. When they move back home, Lou finds out she is pregnant. She later gives birth to a girl named Catherine Marion Minnie Fleming-Morris (often referred to as Katie). After several failed attempts to buy a place of their own and even to build a home somewhere on the 600 acre property at Heartland, Lou and Peter buy Mr. Hanley's ranch from Mrs. Bell and they plan to move into it and refurbish it. However, faulty wiring in the structure causes a fire, and the buildings and stables burn, leaving them no choice but to remain at Heartland. Lou has a positive relationship with her sister Amy, providing a listening ear and timely advice when she needs it, and Amy often plays the same role for Lou. Lou is also close with her father, Tim, and she is the first one to reconnect with him after Marion's death. In Season 6, Lou and Peter decide to adopt an orphan named Georgina Crawley, whom Jack had been fostering after discovering her hiding in the loft. In season 8, Lou and Peter start having relationship problems since Peter is constantly in Vancouver for his job. On Amy's advice, Lou goes to Vancouver to talk things over with him, but they decide to separate. Peter returns to Hudson to try to persuade Lou that they can work things out, but she is not interested, since nothing has changed. Lou later tries online dating, and seems to be falling for the new stable hand, Mitch. Peter visits regularly for his daughters, and interferes with Lou and Mitch's budding romance whenever he is at Heartland. In season 7, Lou buys Maggie's after Maggie moves to be with Soraya in London, England. She runs it with Tim, who acts as her business partner. Lou eventually works on bringing Maggie's to New York City and spends much of her time flying back and forth, with the rest of her family taking care of Georgie and Katie." ]

Human hair growth
Human hair growth - wikipedia Human hair growth Jump to : navigation , search This article needs additional citations for verification . Please help improve this article by adding citations to reliable sources . Unsourced material may be challenged and removed . ( May 2012 ) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message ) The growth of human hair occurs everywhere on the body except for the soles of the feet , the lips , palms of the hands , some external genital areas , the navel , scar tissue , and , apart from eyelashes , the eyelids . Like skin , hair is a stratified squamous keratinized epithelium made of multi-layered flat cells whose rope - like filaments provide structure and strength to the hair shaft . Hair follows a specific growth cycle with three distinct and concurrent phases : anagen , catagen , and telogen phases . Each phase has specific characteristics that determine the length of the hair . All three phases occur simultaneously ; one strand of hair may be in the anagen phase , while another is in the telogen phase . The body has different types of hair , including vellus hair and androgenic hair , each with its own type of cellular construction . The different construction gives the hair unique characteristics , serving specific purposes , mainly warmth and protection . Most humans develop the longest thickest hair on their scalps and ( mostly observed in males ) faces . This hair will usually grow to several feet before terminating , but many humans develop much longer hair . Contents ( hide ) 1 Growth cycle 1.1 Anagen phase 1.2 Catagen phase 1.3 Telogen phase 2 Growth inhibitors and disorders 2.1 Chemotherapy 2.2 Alopecia - related syndromes 2.3 Radiation therapy to the head 2.4 UV - B 3 Hair - growth stimulants 4 See also 5 References Growth cycle ( edit ) Play media Hair - follicle cycling Hair grows at different speeds and different lengths . Its composition causes different colors and textures , which influence how long the hair strands grow . Marianne Ernst , a German `` Long hair model '' . The three stages of hair growth are the anagen , catagen , and telogen phases . Each strand of hair on the human body is at its own stage of development . Once the cycle is complete , it restarts and a new strand of hair begins to form . The rate or speed of hair growth is about 1.25 centimetres or 0.5 inches per month , or about 15 centimetres or 6 inches per year . Anagen phase ( edit ) The anagen phase is known as the growth phase . It begins in the papilla and can last from two to six years . The span at which the hair remains in this stage of growth is determined by genetics . The longer the hair stays in the anagen phase , the longer it will grow . During this phase , the cells in the papilla divide to produce new hair fibers , and the follicle buries itself into the dermal layer of the skin to nourish the strand . About 85 % of the hairs on one 's head are in the anagen phase at any given time Catagen phase ( edit ) Signals sent out by the body ( that only selectively affect 1 percent of all hair of one 's body at any given time ) determine when the anagen phase ends and the catagen phase begins . The first sign of catagen is the cessation of melanin production in the hair bulb and apoptosis of follicular melanocytes . The catagen phase , also known as the transitional phase , allows the follicle to , in a sense , renew itself . During this time , which lasts about two weeks , the hair follicle shrinks due to disintegration and the papilla detaches and `` rests , '' cutting the hair strand off from its nourishing blood supply . Ultimately , the follicle is 1 / 6 its original length , causing the hair shaft to be pushed upward . While hair is not growing during this phase , the length of the terminal fibers increase when the follicle pushes them upward . Telogen phase ( edit ) During the telogen or resting phase the follicle remains dormant for one to four months . Ten to fifteen percent of the hairs on one 's head are in this phase of growth at any given time . In this phase the epidermal cells lining the follicle channel continue to grow as normal and may accumulate around the base of the hair , temporarily anchoring it in place and preserving the hair for its natural purpose without taxing the body 's resources needed during the growth phase . At some point , the follicle will begin to grow again , softening the anchor point of the shaft initially . The hair base will break free from the root and the hair will be shed . Within two weeks the new hair shaft will begin to emerge once the telogen phase is complete . The process results in normal hair loss known as shedding . Growth inhibitors and disorders ( edit ) Chemotherapy ( edit ) Most chemotherapy drugs work by attacking fast - replicating cells . Rapid cell replication is one of the hallmarks of cancer ; however , hair follicle cells also grow and divide quickly . Consequently , the chemotherapy drugs usually inhibit hair growth . The dose and type of medicine determine the severity of hair loss , but once the chemotherapy has ended , new hair growth may begin after three to 10 months . Alopecia - related syndromes ( edit ) Main article : Baldness Alopecia is a hair loss disease that can occur in anyone at any stage of life . Specifically Alopecia areata is an autoimmune disease that causes hair to spontaneously fall out . It is mainly characterized by bald patches on the scalp or other parts of the body , and can ultimately cause baldness across the entire body . This disease interferes with the hair growth cycle by causing a follicle to prematurely leave the anagen , or active growth , phase and enter the resting , or telogen phase . The hair growth in the affected follicles is lessened or stopped completely . Traction alopecia is caused by adding too much strain on the hair on one 's head . Tight ponytails and other styles that require added tension to the hair are often what cause this disease . It can also occur on the face in areas where the hair is often styled . Plucking or waxing one 's eyebrows frequently , for example , can yield suppressed hair growth in the area . On the scalp , the hair is usually known to be lost around the hair line , leaving the densest amount of hair at the crown . Small vellus hair will often replace the hair that is lost . In most people , scalp hair growth will halt due to follicle devitalization after reaching a length of generally two or three feet . Exceptions to this rule can be observed in individuals with hair development abnormalities , which may cause an unusual length of hair growth . Radiation therapy to the head ( edit ) Human hair follicles are very sensitive to the effects of radiation therapy administered to the head , most commonly used to treat cancerous growths within the brain . Hair shedding may start as soon as two weeks after the first dose of radiation and will continue for a couple of weeks . Hair follicles typically enter the resting telogen phase and regrowth should commence 2.5 to 3 months after the hair begins to shed . Regrowth may be sparser after treatment . UV - B ( edit ) UV levels of either 20 or 50 mJ cm in the UV - B range have been shown to inhibit hair growth , reduce hair melanin and damage hair follicles .

The largest of all the phumdis covers an area of 40 km ( 15 sq mi ) and is situated on the southeastern shore of the lake . Located on this phumdi , Keibul Lamjao National Park is the only floating national park in the world . The park is the last natural refuge of the endangered Sangai ( state animal ) , Rucervus eldii eldii or Manipur brown - antlered deer ( Cervus eldi eldi ) , one of three subspecies of Eld 's deer . This ancient lake plays an important role in the economy of Manipur . It serves as a source of water for hydropower generation , irrigation and drinking water supply . The lake is also a source of livelihood for the rural fishermen who live in the surrounding areas and on phumdis , also known as `` phumshongs '' . Human activity has led to severe pressure on the lake ecosystem. 55 rural and urban hamlets around the lake have a population of about 100,000 people . Considering the ecological status and its biodiversity values , the lake was initially designated as a wetland of international importance under the Ramsar Convention on 23 March 1990 . It was also listed under the Montreux Record on 16 June 1993 , `` a record of Ramsar sites where changes in ecological character have occurred , are occurring or are likely to occur '' .

The river rises in the north at Karong , flows south of Imphal and hence is also known as the Imphal River . Along its course through the valley downstream of Imphal , the bed slope of the river is gentle . The Drainage pattern is sub-dendritic , sub-parallel and sub-radial , dictated by the structure and lithology of the area . Imphal , Iril and Thoubal River valleys also exhibit a meandering river course . At the Ithai barrage outlet of the Lake , the direct catchment area draining into the lake is 980 km ( 380 sq mi ) out of which 430 km ( 170 sq mi ) is under paddy cultivation , 150 km ( 58 sq mi ) under habitation and 400 km ( 150 sq mi ) under forest cover . The area of the lake is 236.21 km ( 91.20 sq mi ) , comprising large pockets of open water and marshy land formed at the southern part of the Imphal valley up to the confluence of Manipur River and Khuga River in the district of Imphal West . The Lake is divided into two zones , namely , the `` Core Zone '' which is the no - development zone or totally protected zone comprising 70.3 km ( 27.1 sq mi ) and the balance area is called the `` Buffer Zone '' . Within the lake and on its periphery , there are 14 hills of varying size and elevation ; in the southern part of the lake are the Sendra , Ithing and Thanga islands . Lake Zonation Geographically , in terms of biodiversity and pressure of human activities , the lake is broadly divided into northern , central and southern zones as elaborated below . The Northern Zone , extending from eastern side of Nambol River near Ngaikhong Khunou to Phabakchao including Maibam Phumlak , has five main streams / rivers namely the Manipur river , Nambul , Yangoi river , Nambol river and Thongjaorok flowing into the lake . The zone is separated from the central zone by large phumdis ( varying thickness of 0.4 to 4.5 m or 1.3 to 14.8 ft ) that stretches from the northwest to the southeast . During January to March , phumdis in this area are usually burnt for construction of fish cum paddy farms ; many large fish farms with raised levees have been built . Phumdis in the Lake -- circular ones , called athapums , are artificially created for fishing . The Central Zone , extending from Awang Laisoi pat ( western side of Nambol River near Ngaikhong Khullen ) to Laphu pat ( between Khordak channel and Imphal River ) encloses prominent islands of Thanga , Karang and Ithing . It has some sub zone viz Laisoi , Awangsoi , Yennapat , Tharopat etc . It is the main open water zone of the lake , which was relatively free from phumdis in the past , but over the years ' athaphums ' ( artificially created phumdis for fishing ) constructed by villagers for fishing have proliferated choking the entire lake . The State Fisheries Department has established a fisheries centre within this zone at Takmu pat for fisheries development The Southern Zone encompasses the Keibul Lamjao National Park , Ungamel and Kumbi pats at the southern part of the lake and the zone is linked with Khuga River by the Ungamel channel . The Imphal River is also linked with this zone by the Khordak channel . The western catchment drained by the Kangshoibi River flows into this zone . Proliferation of phumdis has been observed near the mouth of Ungamel channel , Kumbi pat , Nongmaikhong and Khordak area . Geology ( edit ) Cretaceous limestone , the Disang with Serpentinites ( Lower to Middle Eocene -- Upper Cretaceous ) , the Surmas and the Tipams ( Miocene ) are the dominant rock formations in the catchment of the Manipur basin . Higher reaches of hills have the Disang and Tipam groups of rocks while Surma group occurs in the lower reaches . Grey sandstone -- grit -- conglomerate -- limestone sequences intruded by serpentinites containing minor amounts of enstalite , chromite , amphiboles and magnetite constitute the Disang formation . Argillaceous and arneceous sequence represents the Surma and Tipam groups , respectively . Climate ( edit ) With an average annual rainfall of 1,183 mm ( 46.57 in ) tropical monsoon climate prevails in the valley . Temperatures range from 0 to 35 ° C ( 32 to 95 ° F ) . February and March are the driest months . Hydrology ( edit ) Loktak Lake is fed by the Manipur river and several tributaries and ' Ungamel Channel ' ( Ithai Barrage ) is its only outlet now . The origin of the Manipur river system and its tributaries , which flows in a north - south direction and drains into the lake is from the hill ranges immediately to the west of the lake . The five major rivers with indirect catchment area of 7,157 km ( 2,763 sq mi ) are the Imphal ( also called the Manipur River ) , the Iril , the Thoubal , the Sekmai and the Khuga . The other major streams which drain into the lake and which bring in lot of silt are the Nambul , the Nambol , the Thongjarok , the Awang Khujairok , the Awang Kharok , the Ningthoukhong , the Potsangbam , the Oinam , the Keinou and the Irulok . The Lake , located on the southern side of the Manipur river basin , is at the lowest elevation in the valley and no other major river flows into the lake , except a few rivulets . Though hydrological data on river basin has not been adequately monitored , the Department of Earth Science , Manipur University has in its report of 1996 assessed the average runoff of Manipur River as 519,200 ha m ( 4,209,000 acre ft ; 5.192 km ) from a total catchment area of 697 km ( 269 sq mi ) at the Ithai barrage . The ground water potential has been assessed estimated around 44 hm ( 36,000 acre ⋅ ft ) per annum . Water resources Development ( edit ) Several water resources development projects have been built in the Manipur River basin to meet growing demands for irrigation . Seven river valley projects have been completed ; these are the Singda Dam Project , Thoubal Dam Project and Khuga Dam Project which are of multipurpose type , the Imphal Barrage Project and the Sekmai Barrage Project -- both medium irrigation projects . The most discussed project is the Loktak Multipurpose Project , which provides hydropower , irrigation and water supply benefits but has attracted adverse criticism for the drastic alteration caused by the project to the hydrological regime of the Loktak Lake and associated wetlands . Loktak multipurpose project ( edit ) Loktak Lake and location of the Hydropower Project The Loktak Hydropower Project on the Manipur River or Imphal River , with the Loktak Lake forming the head waters to provide regulated storage for power generation , was built in 1983 as a multipurpose project with power generation of 105 MW ( 3x35 MW ) for power supply to Manipur , Nagaland , Assam , Mizoram , Arunachal Pradesh , Meghalaya and Tripura , and lift irrigation to an area of 23,000 ha ( 57,000 acres ) in the Manipur valley . The main components of the project , as built , are , a ) the Ithai barrage , across the Manipur river of 10.7 m ( 35.1 ft ) height and 58.8 m ( 192.9 ft ) length with three spillway bays , b ) water conductor system for trans - basin diversion comprising an open channel of 2.323 km ( 1.443 mi ) length , a cut and cover section of 1.077 km ( 0.669 mi ) length ( bed width 18 m ( 59 ft ) , followed by a Head Race Tunnel of 3.81 m ( 12.5 ft ) diameter ( horseshoe type ) and 6.62 km ( 4.11 mi ) long to carry a discharge of 58.8 m / s ( 2,080 cu ft / s ) ( 42 m / s ( 1,500 cu ft / s ) ) for power generation and 16.8 m / s ( 590 cu ft / s ) for irrigation ) , c ) a surge shaft , d ) penstocks and e ) a surface powerhouse and a tailrace channel on the right bank of the narrow Leimatak River with three units of 35 MW capacity each generating an annual energy of 448 GW h ( 1.613 PJ ) . The downstream Loktak Power Project in cascade to utilize the regulated releases from the upper project for further power generation of 90 MW is proposed to be taken up for joint implementation by NHPC and the Government of Manipur . The project has invited severe criticism since the water level in the lake at the Ithai barrage is maintained throughout the year at FRL 786.5 m ( 2,580 ft ) from considerations of power generation from the well planned water conductor system . The problem in the lake is , however , diverse ; economic activities in and around the lake , and encroachments by 50,400 fishermen for extensive fishing activity are also cited to be some reasons . Other reasons for the distress situation in the lake are a ) jhum ( shifting ) cultivation , b ) extensive deforestation and unscientific land use practices in the catchment areas which bring large amount of silt into the lake and c ) undefined ownership of the lake where the stakeholders are the districts of Imphal west district , Bishnupur and Thoubal causing lack of integrated approach to the lakes potential for providing benefits . Biodiversity ( edit ) A rich biodiversity with habitat heterogeneity has been recorded during a scientific survey carried out between January 2000 and December 2002 in different habitat patches of the lake . The lake 's rich biological diversity comprises 233 species of aquatic macrophytes of emergent , submergent , free - floating and rooted floating leaf types . But in the declining trend of vegetation , the important flora recorded are as under . Vegetation The important vegetation of the phumdis recorded are Eichhornia crassipes , Phragmites karka , Oryza sativa , Zizania latifolia , Cynodon spp. , Limnophila spp. , Sagittaria spp. , Saccharum latifolium , Erianthus pucerus , Erianthus ravennae , Leersia hexandra , Carex spp. ; Phragmites karka is reported to be the dominant species . In the habitat patch with rooted floating plants , vegetation comprises the a ) Nelumbo nucifera , b ) Trapa natans , c ) Euryale ferox , d ) Nymphaea alba , e ) N. nouchali , N. stellata and f ) Nymphoides indica . Fauna ( edit ) Endangered sangai species of Eld 's deer in the lake precincts 57 species of waterbirds and another 14 species of wetland associated birds have been noted in the lake including 28 species of migratory waterfowl ( most migrating from different parts of the northern hemisphere beyond the Himalayas ) . Also recorded were 425 species of animals -- 249 vertebrates and 176 invertebrates ) . The list includes rare animals such as the Indian python , sambhar and barking deer . Keibul Lamjao National Park is the natural habitat of one of the most endangered deer , the brow - antlered deer ( Cervus eldi eldi ) which was once thought to be extinct , which was declared a national park only to preserve and conserve this species of Eld 's deer . Avifauna But the avifauna recorded in different habitats of the lake is reported to be declining . Briefly , the details of the avifauna recorded now are elaborated . In the central part of the lake waterfowl , including dabbling ducks and diving ducks are reported but their numbers are declining due to proliferation of phumdis . In the habitat part of the rooted plants , Hydrophasianus chirurgus , Metopidius indicus , and others were reported ; once abundant now show a declining trend . Small hillocks ( though showing degraded condition ) in the lake show big trees ; birds of prey such as Milvus migrans lineatus and Circus aeruginosus have been recorded on these trees . Species of hornbills found are the brown - backed hornbill , rufous - necked hornbill , wreathed hornbill , the pied hornbill and the great pied hornbill . Aqua fauna Fish yield from the lake is reported to be about 1,500 tonnes ( 6,600,000 lb ) every year . The State Fishery Department has introduced millions of fingerlings of Indian and exotic major carps . Natural capture fishery without the requirement of any lease or licence was also in vogue in the lake . The lake fishery is now a mixture of capture and culture systems . Nine mini-hatcheries opened by the State Government has the capacity to produce one million fish fingerlings in a day . Fifty percent of the fingerlings produced were released into the Loktak Lake and the balance were distributed to beneficiary fishing committees . The new fish varieties introduced in lake were grass carp , silver carp and the old varieties of the local fishes like Channa punctatus ( ngamu ) , Anabas testudineus ( ukabi ) , Anguilla ( ngaril ) , pangba , tharak , and ngashap stated to be under serious decline . Fauna Hoolock gibbon seen in the precincts of the Lake in the Keibul Lamjo National Park Fauna recorded in the precincts of the Lake in the Keibul Lamjo National Park are the Indian python , sambar , barking deer , the endangered sangai species of Eld 's deer , wild bear , Muntiacus muntjak , rhesus monkey , hoolock gibbon , stump - tailed macaque , Indian civet Viverra zibetha , marbled cat and Temminck 's golden cat . Threats ( edit ) The Loktak lake and its precincts have faced serious problems due to loss of vegetal cover in the catchment area and construction of Ithai barrage at the outlet of the lake for multipurpose development of water resources . The issues are further elaborated below . The degradation of the catchment area has occurred . Deforestation and shifting cultivation in the catchment areas have accelerated the process of soil erosion resulting in the lake 's shrinkage due to siltation . The annual silt flow into the lake is estimated to be 336,350 tons . The nutrients from catchment area and domestic sewage from Imphal city carried by Nambul River are discharged into the lake affecting its water quality , thus encouraging the growth of water hyacinth and phumdis . All these activities have direct bearing on ecological stability of the lake . Interference in navigation and overall aesthetic value of the Lake are other reported adverse effects . The construction of Ithai barrage and maintaining constant water level at full reservoir level ( FRL ) has led to a ) changes in hydrological regime thereby affecting ecological processes and functions of the wetland , b ) inundation of agricultural lands and displacement of people from flooded lands and c ) loss of fish population and diversity . Recent analysis of the concentrations of some elements with FAO limits showed non detection of toxic elements like As , Cd , Hg , and Pb . To a certain extent the water of the lake can be considered fresh in terms of trace elemental pollutants . The thickness of phumdis has decreased in the Keibul Lamjao National Park thereby threatening the survival of sangai deer and interference in the migration of fishes from the Chindwin -- Irrawaddy River system of Myanmar resulting in changes in the species composition . The population of a number of economic plants such as Saccharum species , Setaria pumila , Alpinia nigra , Hedychium spicatum and the major food plants like the Zizania , Latifolia , Carex species , Coix species , Narenga has decreased resulting in starvation conditions for the endangered sangai deer . With the phumdis becoming thinner , the hoofs of the limbs of sangai get stuck in the marsh and results in their drowning . Production of the edible fruit and rhizome ( thamchet and thambou ) of lotus plants has decreased to a great extent . Plants have also degraded due to polluted water . Livelihood of people dependent on the sale of edible fruit and rhizome of lotus plant products and Euryale ferox ( thanging ) has suffered due to steep decline in the growth of these plant species . Today , Loktak Lake is at the highest level of eutrophication and the only brow - antlered deer is at the verge of extinction . Loktak Development Authority ( edit ) To address all the issues raised on the health of the lake , as detailed above , Government of Manipur has set up the Loktak Development Authority ( LDA ) under `` The Manipur Loktak Lake ( Protection ) Act , 2006 ( Manipur Act 3 of 2006 ) '' with the objective `` to provide for administration , control , protection , improvement , conservation and development of the natural environment of the Loktak Lake and for matters connected with as incidental thereto . '' Restoration actions ( edit ) In order to address the various issues plaguing the functioning of the lake and the project dependent on it , a detailed project study was instituted by the Loktak Development Authority ( LDA ) & Wetlands International Asia ( WISA ) with funding provided by the India Canada Environment Facility ( ICEF ) . A Project Report titled `` Sustainable Development & Water Resources Management of Loktak Lake ( SDWRML ) '' has been prepared . The report gives a review of its activities on the project done for over six years ( from February 1 , 1998 till the end of March 2004 ) with the following pertinent observations . In an interdependent multiple socioeconomic cum historical cum technological / scientific milieu , the problem of the Loktak lake is multi-dimensional and complex . The project had not made the desired impact on livelihood activities of the target communities . The scientific data system and analysis was critical for planning appropriate interventions . In the past , complex environmental problems were not adequately addressed . LDA , basically an engineering organization , addressed several developmental activities with due involvement of local communities and its capacity to address the situation is well organized . Even though the Ithai barrage and its operation by NHPC have contributed to the deterioration of the lake environment and the surrounding people , the mind set of the people ( conditioned by the water level and submergence ) that operation of the project needs drastic change to solve the lakes ' problems had prevented examination of feasible alternate solutions , given the situation that drastic change of NHPC approach to operate the project was not feasible . The project design was sound but focus on ultimate goal was not adequate . Participation of NGOs in the project was not sufficient . The design of a fish hatchery ( a Chinese design ) was too large and had to be scaled down . Documentation , communication activities of the project and MIS system were good . Based on all the analysis , the future approach suggested involves mitigation measures as elaborated are : i ) The Nambol River carries sewage of nutrients of Imphal town into the lake which results in prolific growth of phumdis and deteriorates water quality . This is an urban problem and there is urgent need to treat and control this aspect , even if it is expensive ; ii ) Reduce soil erosion and sedimentation of the lake by enlarging the scope of micro-watersheds in the catchment area treatment plan ; iii ) Construct a channel through the Keibul Lamjao National Park to enable phumdis to settle at the bed of the lake ; iv ) Resolve the encroachment problem , by demarcating the lake boundary , which would result in a targeted and concerted action plan ; v ) Implement action plans that are economically viable and technically feasible resulting in livelihood enhancement such as evolving an attractive resettlement plan for the phumdi dwellers backed by remunerative livelihood program ; and vi ) Examine introduction of fishing net instead of Athapum ( Athapam means phumdis in circular shape floating in the lake , planted or cultured artificially for catching fish ) practiced presently to be dismantled . In November 2016 , Environment ministry has taken keen interest in preserving loktak lake and has formed a panel of five members for this purpose . Visitor Information ( edit ) Further information : Keibul Lamjao National Park Fishing on Loktak Lake A view of Sendra Tourist Home on a large Phumdi in Loktak Lake Well connected by road and air , Imphal , the capital city of Manipur is 39 km ( 24 mi ) away from the lake , by road . The lake is a unique destination for tourism . The lake offers excellent opportunities for visitors to enjoy the beauty of the lake and its several islands located inside it that are studded with floating phumdis of different geometrical shapes . The important islands which offer facilities for visitors are the Sandra and Phubala . The Sendra Tourist Home on the island with an attached Cafeteria in the middle of the lake is an ideal tourist spot . Visitors get a bird 's eye view of life on the lake -- small islands that are actually floating weed on which the lake people live . Phubala resort , on the Phubala , is 40 km ( 25 mi ) from Imphal . At Moirang town on the fringe of the Loktak is the Indian National Army ( INA ) Museum which will be of interest to tourists . The exhibits include letters , photographs , badges of ranks and other articles associated with the INA . A bronze statue of Netaji Subash Chandra Bose in uniform stands in the lawn .

which is the largest fresh water lake in north east india
[ "Loktak Lake is the largest freshwater lake in Northeast India and is famous for the phumdis (heterogeneous mass of vegetation, soil and organic matter at various stages of decomposition) floating over it. The lake is located near Moirang in Manipur state, India.[2] The etymology of Loktak is Lok = \"stream\" and tak = \"the end\".[3] The largest of all the phumdis covers an area of 40 km2 (15 sq mi) and is situated on the southeastern shore of the lake. Located on this phumdi, Keibul Lamjao National Park is the only floating national park in the world. The park is the last natural refuge of the endangered Sangai (state animal), Rucervus eldii eldii or Manipur brown-antlered deer (Cervus eldi eldi), one of three subspecies of Eld's deer.[4][5]\n" ]

She was the third of five daughters of Isaac Burbage Harrison ( 1907 -- 1989 ) , a nurseryman , and his wife , Ida Virginia Melson ( 1914 -- 2010 ) , a beautician . She was the middle child , with two older sisters , Kay and Gloria , and two younger sisters , Jane and Joan . The Harrisons , like Linda 's maternal Melson ancestors , had a long history in the Delmarva region . According to Ancestry.com , the Melson family were mid-17th century immigrants to Maryland from Melsonby St James in North Yorkshire . The Anglo - Welsh Harrisons had been resident for generations in West Kirby , Cheshire , when one Richard Harrison ( 1593 -- 1653 ) , son of another Richard Harrison ( 1559 -- 1617 ) , emigrated in the early 17th century from West Kirby to the New Haven Colony in what is now Connecticut , thence to Maryland . Richard 's direct descendant , Harrison 's paternal grandfather , Joseph G. Harrison , and Joseph 's older brother , Orlando Harrison ( Mayor of Berlin 1900 -- 1910 and 1916 -- 1918 and senator from Maryland ) , established J.G. Harrison & Sons Nurseries , which were , at one time , the largest fruit tree nursery business in America , employing some five hundred workers . The Harrison Lab at the University of Maryland , College Park campus , which Harrison attended briefly , was named for her paternal great - uncle , Senator Orlando Harrison . `` I knew she 'd be a star when she was only five , '' Ida Harrison told an interviewer in 1969 . Mrs Harrison , who described her middle daughter as `` a little ham '' , enrolled her in ballet and acrobatics classes at age five . By age six , Harrison was performing on stage , and liking it . She attended Berlin 's Buckingham Elementary School , which her mother and all her sisters attended . In 1956 , when she was eleven , Harrison 's acrobatic performance earned her first prize in the Delmarva Chicken Festival Talent Contest . Six years later , at the same festival , Harrison won the `` Miss Delmarva '' beauty contest . By the time she entered Berlin 's Stephen Decatur High School , Harrison had become a skilled acrobatic dancer . Harrison also dreamed of becoming an actress and a star . It was Harrison 's plan to become an actress by entering and winning beauty contests , then travel to California to be seen and noticed . When she was in her teens , Harrison worked summers as a waitress at Phillips Crab House in Ocean City , Maryland ; she was dating the son of the restaurant 's owners when she flew to California for the Miss American beauty contest . From time to time , she appeared as a narrator on local TV programs carried over Baltimore TV station WMAR . Harrison essayed her first dramatic role while attending Stephen Decatur High School , that of `` Connie Fuller '' in the senior class production of the 1940 Kaufman / Hart play George Washington Slept Here . On Saturday , May 19 , 1962 , William Hockersmith crowned her Miss Berlin at the Miss Berlin Beauty Pageant , which was held at the high school . A month later , Harrison represented her home town at the Delmarva Chicken Festival beauty contest . After graduating from high school , Harrison enrolled for a summer term at the University of Maryland , College Park , and a secretarial school in Baltimore , but found it uninspiring . When her oldest sister , Kay , graduated from college and headed for New York , Harrison went with her , with $250 and their mother 's credit card . Several years later , Harrison would lament her `` admittedly deficient formal education '' to an interviewer , saying that she `` missed a great deal because I did n't finish school . '' In New York , Kay and Linda shared an apartment and their mother Ida 's credit card . Harrison scored some success as a model , but she disliked New York and was homesick for Maryland . Less than a year later , she returned home ; following her plan to become an actress by winning beauty contests , she entered the 1964 Miss Delmarva beauty pageant as Miss Berlin , and won . Harrison followed her 1964 win by entering the Miss Maryland beauty pageant , a preliminary event to the Miss American pageant , itself the final preliminary event to the Miss International contest , which would be held in Long Beach , California , in mid-June 1965 . Harrison won the contest over nineteen other girls ; that June , as Miss Maryland , she flew to California for the Miss American contest . She thought the trip would last for two weeks ; bidding farewell to her boyfriend , she schedule her return home in two weeks , after she was crowned Miss American . But she was first - runner up , not the winner . Harrison was `` devastated '' , and so deeply disappointed over losing that she wept backstage . Her striking good looks and hourglass figure , however , had gained the notice of Mike Medavoy , then an agent at the General Artist Corporation . `` You ought to be in pictures , '' Medavoy told her . In August 1965 , Medavoy obtained a `` personality test '' for her at 20th Century Fox . No acting was involved ; Harrison answered questions directed to her from off - camera , while speaking into the camera on various subjects . The test earned her Fox 's standard 60 - day option agreement , scheduled to expire in November 1965 . During her 60 - day option period , Harrison studied with Fox acting coach , Pamela Danova . In October 1965 , prior to the expiry of her option , Fox assigned Harrison as the date of studio attorney Harry E. Sokolov for the premiere of The Agony and the Ecstasy . She was selected as Sokolov 's date because `` Harry was from Baltimore . '' Sokolov was also chief executive assistant to Fox 's Vice President in Charge of Production , Richard D. Zanuck . Harrison was excited , because it was her first premiere , and because the film co-starred Charlton Heston , who had been her idol since she had seen Ben - Hur . At the post-premiere party , which she attended with her studio - assigned date , Harrison was thrilled to meet her longtime idol , Heston , with whom she would soon co-star in Planet of the Apes . At the premiere , Harrison met Zanuck , who was Sokolov 's boss . Zanuck , Harrison said later , was immediately `` smitten '' and fell `` madly in love '' with her , and she with him . `` That was during the 60 - day period that I started dating Richard , and then I was signed to a seven - year contract . '' Harrison 's acting career , as well as her life , became inextricably intertwined with their subsequent relationship . Career ( edit ) Early roles ( edit ) After meeting Zanuck at The Agony and the Ecstasy premiere , Harrison signed Fox 's standard seven - year contract in November and was placed in the studio 's `` Talent Training School '' . Although Harrison told interviewers that Zanuck had created the school so `` he could keep an eye on me , '' the school was actually a former Fox institution which Zanuck had revived to train aspiring talented young actors and actresses under contract to Fox ; besides Harrison , the student roster included Jacqueline Bisset , James Brolin , Tom Selleck and Edy Williams . Under coaches Pamela Danova and Curt Conway , Harrison attended drama classes , speech classes , fencing classes , dance and body movement classes , and lectures by veteran actors , actresses , directors , writers , publicity agents , and teachers . In addition to her strenuous round of classes , Harrison worked with a speech coach to eradicate her Eastern Maryland accent . Harrison 's first assignment under her new Fox contract was as a `` Biker Chick '' in Men Against Evil , a TV pilot which became the TV series Felony Squad . `` I had three words , `` Go , man , go ! '' I was all of 20 , and dressed in this really racy motorcycle outfit . Those were my first words ! This was still the era of stardom and premieres . When you were put under a studio contract , every minute of your life was so exciting , because you were doing something so unique and special . '' ( Three years later , Harrison co-starred as Felony Squad star Dennis Cole 's love interest in the NBC TV series Bracken 's World . ) Harrison 's next assignment was in the campy Batman TV series ; she appeared briefly as one of three high school cheerleaders in the Batman episodes `` The Joker Goes to School '' and `` He Meets His Match , The Grisly Ghoul '' , which aired in early March 1966 . To prepare Harrison for her few seconds onscreen , her Fox dance coach worked Harrison and her fellow cheerleaders early in the morning and on through the day . Linda , a former high school cheerleader , complained , `` You 're going to use up all my energy , so when the shot comes , I wo n't have any . '' Her coach complained that `` Linda Harrison gave me a hard time . '' After the brief late afternoon shot , Harrison 's overworked leg muscles failed on her way home , and Richard D. Zanuck had to carry her upstairs to their Wilshire - Westwood apartment . `` All during this period , Dick was telling me about this fabulous book called Planet of the Apes and that it was going to make a great movie . He said , `` I want you to play the ape , Dr. Zira . '' On March 8 , 1966 , immediately after her brief appearance on Batman , Harrison was filmed in ape makeup for a proposed film version of Pierre Boulle 's satirical novel , Monkey Planet , later released as Planet of the Apes . Zanuck had financed the test in order to show Fox 's money men that , despite all doubts to the contrary , the Planet of the Apes project was feasible . The test , written by Rod Serling and directed by Franklin J. Schaffner , starred Harrison 's idol , Charlton Heston , and Edward G. Robinson as Heston 's nemesis , Dr Zaius . Harrison appeared as Zira , the role ultimately played by Kim Hunter , while Harrison 's Talent School classmate fellow contract actor , James Brolin , took on Roddy McDowall 's role of Cornelius . `` I think they always had me in mind for Nova . But they needed someone to do the screen test , and you keep trying to employ your actors . So . I did the screen test . The part that was hard for me was actually doing the mask , where they put all that plaster on your face and you have to lie there still for a long time . Fortunately , I was an acrobat growing up , and a very very good one -- I won a lot of contests -- so I knew how to control my body and be ' quiet . ' You had to do that , you had to be very still and lay there and be a ' good patient . ' A young actor will do anything to get their mug on the screen ! I remember that the makeup process took about three hours . I had to lay back and be perfectly still as they put this plaster mold on my face . After seeing the test , everyone was very enthusiastic about going ahead with making Planet of the Apes . But they felt the makeup needed a little more work and perfecting before it would look good on screen . '' Though the ape make - up test was considered successful , the studio rejected the project again . Meanwhile , in May 1966 , Harrison made her big screen debut as one of several `` Treasure Hunters '' in The Fat Spy . The low - budget comedy might have been forgotten had it not been mentioned in a 2004 documentary as one of The 50 Worst Movies Ever Made . Harrison 's next big screen outing was in the Jerry Lewis comedy Way ... Way Out ; she played half of a husband - wife astronaut team on the verge of divorce . She appeared early in the film , arguing furiously , in her still - uneradicated Down Eastern accent , with her onscreen husband and off - screen Talent School classmate , James Brolin , with whom she had appeared in the Planet of the Apes makeup test . Harrison then stormed out , and the film continued without her . With Carl Reiner , A Guide for the Married Man After Way ... Way Out , Harrison appeared in a four - minute test segment entitled Who 's Afraid of Diana Prince ? , created by Batman producer William Dozier , which was supposed to engender interest in a Wonder Woman pilot and an eventual TV series . Harrison played a glamorous mirror image of Wonder Woman , which existed only in the imagination of the homely Diana Prince character , played by Ellie Wood Walker ( Robert Walker Jr. 's wife ) . The Who 's Afraid of Diana Prince ? segment failed to engender any interest in a Wonder Woman pilot , although Lynda Carter had great success in the role eight years later . Harrison next appeared as Carl Reiner 's blonde - wigged young inamorata `` Miss Stardust '' in A Guide for the Married Man ( 1967 ) , a bedroom comedy about marital infidelity directed by Gene Kelly and starring Walter Matthau , Robert Morse and Inger Stevens . Harrison described her vignette with Carl Reiner as `` fun '' because it took her `` all over the world . I was in limousines and on a donkey and on a camel . '' In addition to speaking one line of dialogue , she wore several costumes for her five - minute globe - trotting adventure , including an elaborate sequinned bikini , a diaphanous negligee , and a fiery red sarong . Planet of the Apes ( edit ) Although Linda Harrison would later say that the producers had always had her in mind for the role of Nova , their first choices for the role were , in fact , famed Bond girl Ursula Andress , Raquel Welch or Angelique Pettyjohn , the drill - thrall from the original Star Trek episode The Gamesters of Triskelion . However , Andress proved indifferent , and both Welch and Pettyjohn were unavailable or uninterested . Filming was to commence in May 1967 , but as late as April 17 Charlton Heston noted in his diary , `` The casting problem 's really Nova : who will do it , and how naked can she be . The tests I saw were not good . '' Zanuck asked producers Arthur P. Jacobs and Mort Abrahams if they would test Harrison . `` ( Dick ) did it very nicely , '' Abrahams said . `` He said , ' I 'd like you to consider Linda . ' Linda was in the acting school that was on the lot at that point and about four or five times a year the students did little scenes live on a soundstage and the producers and directors on the lot were invited to attend . So I 'd seen her act and I said to Dick , ' We will be glad to meet with Linda , ' and ( director ) Frank ( lin Schaffner ) and I would chat with her and talk about the part but that she would be treated like an actress , not as an affiliation with anybody else . And he said , ' That 's the way it has to be . ' And we did and we thought she was fine . '' In the 1998 AMC documentary Behind the Planet of the Apes , Harrison said of her role as Nova , `` I thought about animal instincts , the way ( Nova ) would move and the way she would react would be more the way an animal would react , more from fear . It seemed to be what the director wanted . '' After her test , Harrison was hired to play the role for which she would later be known . Harrison , Mort Abrahams said , was `` delighted to get it , because she 'd only done little tiny bit parts in a couple of pictures before that . I was pleasantly surprised by her . She called me one day and asked if she could bring her sister along with her onto location . I said , ' Sure , of course , no problem . ' And I was delighted because she was going out with the head of the studio . She could have been the biggest pain in the ass alive . And I would be in a terribly awkward position if she started with the limousines and the special means and whatever the hell it is -- or complaining about whatever . But never a peep out of her . Most pleasant , most charming , very cooperative , very hard - working . She was always there half an hour before her call and she always stayed on for a half hour just in case . Interested in everything that went on , and was a total joy . I could n't ask for a more cooperative actor . '' Planet of the Apes commenced filming on May 21 , 1967 and ended August 10 , 1967 . The first scenes were shot on locations near Page , Arizona . Horseshoe Bend on the Colorado River stood in for the Forbidden Zone , through which Taylor , Zira , Cornelius , and Harrison 's Nova fled after escaping from Ape City . Harrison , who had the company of her oldest sister Kay on location with her , found working in the desert `` beautiful '' , and marveled `` how they move an entire production , like a little mini-town , and set up . '' `` I do n't know if people viewed me differently because I was Richard Zanuck 's girlfriend . I was so delighted and grateful to be in this picture that I probably never saw the negative side as much . I just did n't . I remember one piece of advice Dick gave me : He said , ' You go to work on time and listen to your director and do your job . And I do n't want to hear any complaints about you ! ' I had to be even more careful and nice because I was his girlfriend . '' Heston and Harrison in Planet of the Apes Charlton Heston noted in his diary on June 16 , 1967 that `` Linda H. has problems , but Frank 's keeping her nearly immobile in her scenes , which works . '' Harrison noted that as Heston knew it was her `` first big picture '' , he took it upon himself to coach her . Harrison was admittedly still `` camera - shy '' , so Heston `` taught me to favour the camera . Do n't look right into it . Look off to the side , do n't look too far , you know , not to turn my head this way . And he would say turn it just here . Do n't go all the way back . And he held my hand for a lot of things . '' Their off - screen relationship , Harrison said , tended to reflect their on - screen relationship . Heston `` had a quiet quality about him and was very courteous with me . He encouraged me to favor the camera . I was a newcomer in many ways -- which may have helped my character . I 'm sure Heston had his doubts about me ; however , he never showed them . He treated me more like a child than an adult and not much was discussed between us , in character or out . When you idolize someone like I did , you tend to submit rather than assert yourself . Again , this worked in our roles and the relationship between us , as Taylor and Nova . Heston was terrific to work with and so helpful and such a gentleman . '' As the `` rookie '' on the set , Harrison credited the help she received from the veteran actors : `` Everybody that was involved in it , they all realized I was a neophyte , I was like 21 years old so they kind of took me under their wing , since I had n't done acting that much . '' Kim Hunter recalled working with Harrison on the Planet of the Apes set : `` She was a lovely girl and so pretty , such a lovely figure and consumed with the work . I also remember her in relation to the Valium I used to take to relax because of the makeup . She asked what my strength was . It was five milligrams , or whatever , and she said , ' Oh , my God , that little ? I never go to sleep without ten at least . ' I do remember that conversation . '' At one point , it was decided that Nova was pregnant , and scenes were filmed around the Page locations revealing Nova 's pregnancy . In the penultimate drafts of Planet of the Apes , Taylor was killed by the bullet of an ape sniper while Nova , pregnant with Taylor 's child , escaped and vanished into the Forbidden Zone . Although Harrison believed it was Heston who rejected the idea of Nova 's pregnancy , those scenes were deleted , according to screenwriter Michael Wilson , `` at the insistence of a high - echelon Fox executive who found it distasteful . Why ? I suppose that , if one defines the mute Nova as merely `` humanoid '' and not actually human , it would mean that Taylor had committed sodomy . '' It was also decided that Nova 's pregnancy would detract from the film 's ending . In any case , all Harrison 's scenes with Heston and Hunter in the sequence of Nova 's pregnancy were cut . `` There 's probably a great deal of footage of it somewhere . '' After filming in the desert concluded , production moved to Malibu Creek State Park , northwest of Los Angeles , on Las Virgenes Road off Mulholland Highway , where the 20th Century Fox 's Malibu Ranch was located . Ape City was built on the ranch , and a field of corn grown , by which Heston first encounters Harrison . `` It was stinking hot , '' Harrison recalled . `` The scenes of us in cages were also shot at Ape City . '' From the Malibu Ranch , production moved to the coast , where the penultimate scenes were shot between Malibu and Oxnard . The final scenes were filmed in a secluded cove between Zuma Beach and Point Dume on the far eastern end of Westward Beach . Harrison 's Nova was the sole human witness to Taylor 's outburst on the beach , after which she looks up and , in the film 's iconic ending , sees the ruined Statue of Liberty , without comprehending why it has caused her mate 's grief . Harrison 's favourite scenes were shot at the coast . She `` thought that was kind of neat . And then jumping on his horse and riding with him and he turned around and I smiled . And we were going off to wherever -- was out there . And that would have been a great way to start -- well , they sort of started the next one that way . '' In later years , Harrison said she was conscious of the film 's socio - political undertones : `` We were the flower children . We were the baby boomers . We were at war . We were changing and making transitions . What was seeping through people 's consciousness in that era was a fear of Russia and a fear of the bomb ... It revealed what a lot of us were feeling but could n't talk about , and that was the race issue . '' Planet of the Apes premiered in February 1968 . The film was a hit upon its release , as well as a critical and commercial success . In the opening credits , Harrison was billed under the tag `` introducing Linda Harrison '' ; although she had appeared in three previous films . Zanuck wanted to draw attention to Harrison because he felt the role would catapult her to stardom . Harrison impressed audiences with her hourglass figure , long dark hair , and large brown eyes , which , in the absence of spoken dialogue , did most of her acting , though some critics were unimpressed . Renata Adler of the New York Times dismissed Harrison as `` Heston 's Neanderthal flower girl . She wiggles her hips when she wants to say something . '' The success of Planet of the Apes spawned four sequels , an animated cartoon series , a live - action TV series , a remake by Tim Burton , and a reboot that spawned three films . Heston and Harrison appeared in the first sequel , Beneath the Planet of the Apes . Three decades later , Harrison had a brief cameo in the 2001 reboot , which also featured Heston . On August 27 , 1998 , the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences presented a 30th anniversary screening of Planet of the Apes . Harrison attended , along with Charlton Heston , Kim Hunter , Roddy McDowell and John Chambers . The 1968 Planet of the Apes was an inductee of the 2001 National Film Registry list . Beneath the Planet of the Apes ( edit ) Linda Harrison 's second outing in her most famous role was in the first sequel to Planet of the Apes . `` It was n't as good as the first . '' The first film , Harrison said , `` had a top director and cinematographer . You could n't beat Franklin J. Schaffner . In the second film we made it for less . '' Taylor ( Charlton Heston ) cradles the dying Nova ( Harrison ) in Beneath the Planet of the Apes Harrison with James Franciscus in Beneath the Planet of the Apes , 1970 Harrison 's `` Nova '' costume in the first two `` Apes '' films -- Debbie Reynolds Auction , June 2011 No sequels had been contemplated at the time of the production of Planet of the Apes ; it was only during that film 's success that a sequel was discussed . Neither Charlton Heston nor Kim Hunter wanted to do another Apes film ; Roddy McDowall pleaded another commitment ; and Harrison herself was ambivalent . She was engaged to her mentor , Richard Zanuck and `` no longer totally concerned with being an actress . I do n't even want to do another picture . But since this is a sequel to the one I did last year , I felt obligated . `` Ted Post was a wonderful television director , '' Harrison said , `` fabulous to work with , an actor 's dream . I could get away with murder with him . Although her role as Nova was expanded , the sequel was a disappointing rush to production to capitalize on the original . Harrison 's character eked out one word before she was shot to death , but nothing fresh was added. The budget was half that of Planet of the Apes . Director Ted Post said , `` It moved basically as an entertainment piece , nothing more . '' Post wanted the script rewritten . `` I was very unhappy with the script , and I thought the script was far from what it should have been . The story was unclear , and did n't measure up . '' On his first reading of the script for Beneath the Planet of the Apes , star James Franciscus phoned Charlton Heston . `` Jesus Christ , Chuck , '' he said , `` have you read this piece of crap ? '' Post knew Harrison 's role was difficult to do anything with . `` Linda was a wonderfully cooperative young lady that needed direction . Had no technique and no real acting experience . She was engaged to marry Dick Zanuck . So in Planet of the Apes they put her in with Frank Schaffner , then in mine , they underwrote her . They had nothing for her to do in this one , except just be part of the sequel . In other words , she was so badly conceived in the writing that I had to conceive actions for her to make her belong to the piece . And the big action which I gave her -- and I think she came off beautifully with it -- was to try to understand what these people were trying to communicate to her . And struggling to understand and feeling sympathetic vibrations coming from these people . So I gave her something which was not in the script to play and she played that , I think , very simpatico , very beautifully . '' Harrison 's co-star , James Franciscus , remembered her fondly : `` Linda was a joy to work with . I remember we were doing a tracking shot , a camera car on tracks running about one hundred yards down this field . Linda and I were on this horse with no saddle , no reins , just the mane . If anybody fell , that camera truck is there to roll under . It was a very dodgey scene . You 're galloping through gopher holes , etc . And they got the mares down at the far end . The stallion getting ready to go is smelling the mares and he 's running like a bat out of hell and Linda 's behind me saying , ' I 'm very nervous about this horse . ' And I said , ' Join the club . Just hang on and if you feel you ca n't do it , just do n't do it . It 's risky . There 's no question about it , it 's not a safe shot . What a horse is going to do , no one can tell . ' But she was courageous , foolhardy or not , maybe me , too . She went ahead and we did it . I recall afterwards Loren Janes , my stunt man , came up and said , ' You 're crazy . I would n't have done that . It 's too dangerous . ' And he 's probably right . I thought it was very foolish to have done it . Anyway , Linda was a gutsy little gal and she did it . So she was very pleasant to work with and very nice . '' Harrison recalled `` having a lot of fun on the second Apes film '' : `` It was Ted Post and it was more relaxed . I remember running down this hill and getting up so much speed that one of these fabulous makeup men -- big guy , burly chest -- had to step in and stop me . Otherwise , I would have tumbled , God knows where . It was a very arduous picture , physically , with those horses and everything , but we just got in there and did our jobs . '' Bracken 's World and wrongful termination suits ( edit ) Dennis Cole as Davy Evans and Linda Harrison as Paulette Douglas in Bracken 's World , October 1969 While filming Beneath the Planet of the Apes , Harrison was cast as one of a trio of starlets in the Fox - produced NBC TV series Bracken 's World . It was , she said , `` a series Dick for a long time had wanted to do . So I got that part and I had to finish Beneath and go right into the pilot ... '' She played Paulette Douglas , a naive young woman and aspiring actress , who tried to balance studio pressures with her romance with a studio stuntman ( Harrison 's Felony Squad co-star Dennis Cole ) . The series also starred Emmy Award - winning actress Jeanne Cooper as Douglas 's pushy mother . Harrison began filming the day after she finished her work on Beneath the Planet of the Apes . `` And I had to start remembering lines ! Silence may be golden , '' she told an interviewer in October 1969 , `` but no one knows how happy I am to be off the gold standard . '' Harrison was noted as `` one of the most refreshing young faces to light up TV screens this new season . '' Fox publicists issued press releases glossing over Harrison 's deficient education and claiming for her a passion for Shakespeare , Voltaire , and Aristotle which she never possessed . Midway through its second season , Bracken 's World was cancelled . Harrison said later that the studio wanted recognizable stars every week , instead of allowing the regular cast to grow as an ensemble , as was the case with shows such as Star Trek . `` Had they done it like a continuing drama and focused on the regular characters , it would have lasted longer , '' she said . `` NBC , however , wanted a one - hour contained show , so they would stock each episode with a big guest star . After a while , you run out of story . '' After Bracken 's World was cancelled , Harrison was caught in the 20th Century - Fox proxy shareholder war beginning December 1970 between majority shareholders Darryl Zanuck , head of Fox , his estranged wife Virginia Fox , and their son : respectively , Harrison 's father - in - law , mother - in - law , and husband . In the course of the struggle , then - studio chief Darryl Zanuck fired his son . Harrison 's contract was abruptly terminated in January 1971 . The reason given was that her presence might prove `` embarrassing '' to the studio . Harrison later sued for wrongful termination , breach of contract , alleged defamation , and infliction of emotional distress . Harrison was named in the $22 million lawsuit her husband filed November 1 , 1971 , against his father , Darryl Zanuck , then 68 , 20th Century Fox Film Corporation , Fox Chairman and CEO Dennis C. Stanfill , and Fox Executive Committee chairman William T. Gossett . In his suit Zanuck contended that he , Harrison , and former Fox executive David Brown had been wrongly terminated and subjected to humiliation and embarrassment . The suit was settled out of court . The terms and amounts of Harrison 's settlements were never disclosed . Films and television : 1974 -- 1988 ( edit ) In 1974 , after a sabbatical of several years , Harrison attempted to return to her career . She desperately wanted the role of Roy Scheider 's wife in Jaws , and urged her husband to give it to her . Zanuck asked director Steven Spielberg if he would consider Harrison , but Spielberg preferred actress Lorraine Gary , whom he had seen in a TV movie , The Marcus Nelson Murders , and cast her instead of Harrison `` because she was right for the part . '' Harrison was upset over Spielberg 's preference for Gary , feeling that her husband should have gotten her the part . `` I really wanted Dick to go to bat for me this one time . '' As a consolation , Universal chief Sid Sheinberg , Lorraine Gary 's husband , got Harrison a part in Airport 1975 as Gloria Swanson 's personal assistant , Winnie . Though the movie starred Harrison 's long - time idol , Charlton Heston , Harrison had no scenes with him , and `` would have much rather had Jaws on my resume . '' Years later , in an April 2012 interview , Harrison offered a reason she had lost the role because `` They said Roy Scheider could n't get a girl as beautiful as me . '' Despite her disappointment over losing the coveted Jaws role , Harrison was fascinated by Gloria Swanson , and spent hours with her on sets between takes . `` She took a special liking to me . She really went on about the sex she had with Joe Kennedy . There was n't anything she would n't say . He was going to marry her , but he could n't leave Rose and the children , he was a wonderful lover , and she 'd detail it . '' Airport 1975 was the first time Harrison appeared under the name `` Augusta Summerland '' , which her guru had chosen for her . After Airport 1975 , Harrison guest - starred on several TV shows . As `` Augusta Summerland '' , she appeared on Barnaby Jones in episode # 67 `` The Alpha - Bravo War '' ( air date : October 24 , 1975 ) ; on Switch in episode # 24 `` Death Squad '' ( air date : April 6 , 1976 ) ; and again on Barnaby Jones in episode # 114 `` The Damocles Gun '' ( air date : October 20 , 1977 ) . In the 1980s , Harrison resumed studying acting and enrolled in an acting school . When the school held a showcase presentation of its students ' work , Harrison invited her by - then ex-husband and his third wife , Lili Fini Zanuck . The Zanucks needed a middle - aged actress to play Barrett Oliver 's mother in their upcoming production of Cocoon ; after viewing Harrison 's scenes , they told her there might be a part for her . `` So I had an interview with Ron Howard and he said ' You got the part . ' '' Harrison reprised her role as Susan in the 1988 sequel , Cocoon : The Return , which failed to achieve the commercial and critical success of its predecessor . Later work : 1990 to 2015 ( edit ) In 1990 , Harrison moved back home to Berlin , where she opened a consignment shop which she named `` Harrison 's Peach Tree '' half a mile from the house where she was born and raised . Several years later , wanting to be closer to her sons , she returned to Los Angeles and obtained a real estate license , like her eldest sister , Kay . In 1995 , she landed a small part as the `` Madam '' in Wild Bill . In 1998 , she appeared as herself in the Kevin Burns TV documentary Behind the Planet of the Apes about the making of the first five Planet of the Apes films . In October 1998 , Harrison attended her first science fiction convention in New Jersey . Also in attendance were Jonathan Harris , Marta Kristen , Mark Goddard and Angela Cartwright , of the original Lost in Space TV series ; Lou Ferrigno of The Incredible Hulk TV series ; and Bela Lugosi Jr. and Sara Karloff . Harrison found it `` rewarding when you really have n't done anything for a number of years and then , all of a sudden , people want your autograph . It was very gratifying . '' Eventually , Harrison became an institution at Planet of the Apes cons . `` I like it . It 's very good . You 're being appreciated for your work . '' In 2001 , she had a cameo as the `` Woman in Cart '' in Tim Burton 's remake of Planet of the Apes . `` They are much more brutal in the new movie , '' she said . `` And strong . They literally hurl the humans 50 or 60 feet . '' Most of the footage Harrison shot was omitted from the final , so `` if you blink you miss me . They showed my shots all over the place , but it got cut out . '' In 2013 , Harrison began filming Midnight Massacre , on which she served as executive producer and co-star . The post-apocalyptic thriller , set in the near future , is loosely based on Shakespeare 's Julius Caesar . The film was released in 2016 . Awards ( edit ) In 2008 , the 40th anniversary of the release of Planet of the Apes , Harrison traveled to Catalonia , Spain , where on October 11 , she was awarded the Maria Honorifica at the Festival Internacional de Cinema Fantàstic de Catalunya in recognition of her career .

Mission statement
Mission statement - Wikipedia Mission statement Jump to : navigation , search `` Statement of purpose '' redirects here . For use in the university and college admissions , see admissions essay . For advice on mission statements in Wikipedia articles , see Wikipedia : Avoid mission statements . hide This article has multiple issues . Please help improve it or discuss these issues on the talk page . ( Learn how and when to remove these template messages ) This article needs additional citations for verification .

( August 2017 ) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message ) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message ) A mission statement is a short statement of an organization 's purpose , identifying the goal of its operations : what kind of product or service it provides , its primary customers or market , and its geographical region of operation . It may include a short statement of such fundamental matters as the organization 's values or philosophies , a business 's main competitive advantages , or a desired future state -- the `` vision '' . A mission is not simply a description of an organization by an external party , but an expression , made by its leaders , of their desires and intent for the organization . The purpose of a mission statement is to focus and direct the organization itself . It communicates primarily to the people who make up the organization -- its members or employees -- giving them a shared understanding of the organization 's intended direction . Organizations normally do not change their mission statements over time , since they define their continuous , ongoing purpose and focus . According to Chris Bart , professor of strategy and governance at McMaster University , a commercial mission statement consists of three essential components : Key market : the target audience Contribution : the product or service Distinction : what makes the product unique or why the audience should buy it over another Bart estimates that in practice , only about ten percent of mission statements say something meaningful . For this reason , they are widely regarded with contempt . Contents ( hide ) 1 Purpose 2 Advantages 3 Disadvantages 4 Design 5 See also 6 References 7 External links Purpose ( edit ) This section possibly contains original research . Please improve it by verifying the claims made and adding inline citations . Statements consisting only of original research should be removed . ( January 2018 ) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message ) The sole purpose of a mission statement is to serve as a company 's goal / agenda , it outlines clearly what the goal of the company is . Some generic examples of mission statements would be , `` To provide the best service possible within the banking sector for our customers . '' or `` To provide the best experience for all of our customers . '' The reason why businesses make use of mission statements is to make it clear what they look to achieve as an organization , not only to themselves and their employees but to the customers and other people who are a part of the business , such as shareholders . As a company evolves , so will their mission statement . This is to make sure that the company remains on track and to ensure that the mission statement does not lose its touch and become boring or stale . The North American magazine and website that carries news stories about entrepreneurship , small business management , and business , Entrepreneur , explains the purpose of a mission statement as the following : `` The mission statement reflects every facet of your business : the range and nature of the products you offer , pricing , quality , service , marketplace position , growth potential , use of technology , and your relationships with your customers , employees , suppliers , competitors and the community . '' It is important that a mission statement is not confused with a vision statement . As discussed earlier , the main purpose of a mission statement is to get across the ambitions of an organisation in a short and simple fashion , it is not necessary to go into detail for the mission statement which is evident in examples given . The reason why it is important that a mission statement and vision statement are not confused is because they both serve different purposes . Vision statements tend to be more related to strategic planning and lean more towards discussing where a company aims to be in the future . Advantages ( edit ) Provides direction : Mission statements are a way to direct a business into the right path . They play a part in helping the business make better decisions which can be beneficial to them . Without the mission statement providing direction , businesses may struggle when it comes to making decisions and planning for the future . This is why providing direction could be considered one of the most advantageous points of a mission statement . Clear purpose : Having a clear purpose can remove any potential ambiguities that can surround the existence of a business . People who are interested in the progression of the business , such as stakeholders , will want to know that the business is making the right choices and progressing more towards achieving their goals , which will help to remove any doubt the stakeholders may have in the business . A mission statement can act as a motivational tool within an organisation , and it can allow employees to all work towards one common goal that benefits both the organisation and themselves . This can help with factors such as employee satisfaction and productivity . It is important that employees feel a sense of purpose . Giving them this sense of purpose will allow them to focus more on their daily tasks and help them to realise the goals of the organisation and their role . Disadvantages ( edit ) This section does not cite any sources . Please help improve this section by adding citations to reliable sources . Unsourced material may be challenged and removed . ( August 2017 ) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message ) Although it is mostly beneficial for a business to craft a good mission statement , there are some situations where a mission statement can be considered pointless or not useful to a business . Unrealistic : In most cases , mission statements turn out to be unrealistic and far too optimistic . An unrealistic mission statement can also affect the performance and morale of the employees within the workplace . This is because an unrealistic mission statement would reduce the likelihood of employees being able to meet this standard which could demotivate employees in the long term . Unrealistic mission statements also serve no purpose and can be considered a waste of management 's time . Another issue which could arise from an unrealistic mission statement is that poor decisions could be made in an attempt to achieve this goal which has the potential to harm the business and be seen as a waste of both time and resources . Waste of time and resources : Mission statements require planning . This takes time and effort for those who are responsible for creating the mission statement . If the mission statement is not achieved , then the process of creating the mission statement could be seen as a waste of time for all of the people involved . A lot of thought and time can be spent in designing a good mission statement , and to have all of that time wasted is not what businesses can afford . The wasted time could have been spent on much more important tasks within the organisation such as decision - making for the business . Design ( edit ) According to Forbes , the following questions must be answered in the mission statement : `` What do we do ? '' -- The mission statement should clearly outline the main purpose of the organisation , and what they do . `` How do we do it ? '' -- It should also mention how one plans on achieving the mission statement . `` Whom do we do it for ? '' -- The audience of the mission statement should be clearly stated within the mission statement . `` What value are we bringing ? '' -- The benefits and values of the mission statement should be clearly outlined . When designing a mission statement , it should be very clear to the audience what the purpose of it is . It is ideal for a business to be able to communicate their mission , goals and objectives to the reader without including any unnecessary information through the mission statement . US Federal Emergency Management Agency 's Mission Statement Poster Richard Branson has commented on ways of crafting a good mission statement ; he explains the importance of having a mission statement that is clear and straight to the point and does not contain unnecessary baffling . He went on to analyse a mission statement , using Yahoo 's mission statement at the time ( 2013 ) as an example . In his evaluation of the mission statement , he seemed to suggest that while the statement sounded interesting , most people would not be able to understand the message it is putting across . In other words the message of the mission statement potentially meant nothing to the audience . `` This further backs up the idea that a good mission statement is one that is clear and answers the right questions in a simple manner , and does not over complicate things . An example of a good mission statement would be Google 's , which is `` to organise the world 's information and make it universally accessible and useful .

Sustainable development
Sustainable development - Wikipedia Sustainable development Wind powers 5 MW wind turbines on a wind farm 28 km off the coast of Belgium . Sustainable development is the organizing principle for meeting human development goals while at the same time sustaining the ability of natural systems to provide the natural resources and ecosystem services upon which the economy and society depend . The desired result is a state of society where living conditions and resource use continue to meet human needs without undermining the integrity and stability of the natural system . Sustainable development can be classified as development that meet the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations . While the modern concept of sustainable development is derived mostly from the 1987 Brundtland Report , it is also rooted in earlier ideas about sustainable forest management and twentieth century environmental concerns . As the concept developed , it has shifted to focus more on economic development , social development and environmental protection for future generations . It has been suggested that `` the term ' sustainability ' should be viewed as humanity 's target goal of human - ecosystem equilibrium ( homeostasis ) , while ' sustainable development ' refers to the holistic approach and temporal processes that lead us to the end point of sustainability '' . The modern economies are endeavouring to reconcile ambitious economic development and obligations of preserving the natural resources and ecosystem , the two are traditionally seen as of conflicting nature . Instead of holding climate change commitments and other sustainability measures as a drug to economic development , turning and leveraging them into market opportunities will do greater good . The economic development brought by such organized principles and practices in an economy is called Managed Sustainable Development ( MSD ) . The concept of sustainable development has been -- and still is -- subject to criticism . What , exactly , is to be sustained in sustainable development ? It has been argued that there is no such thing as a sustainable use of a non-renewable resource , since any positive rate of exploitation will eventually lead to the exhaustion of earth 's finite stock .

Sustainability can be defined as the practice of maintaining processes of productivity indefinitely -- natural or human made -- by replacing resources used with resources of equal or greater value without degrading or endangering natural biotic systems . Sustainable development ties together concern for the carrying capacity of natural systems with the social , political , and economic challenges faced by humanity . Sustainability science is the study of the concepts of sustainable development and environmental science . There is an additional focus on the present generations ' responsibility to regenerate , maintain and improve planetary resources for use by future generations . Sustainable development has its roots in ideas about sustainable forest management which were developed in Europe during the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries . In response to a growing awareness of the depletion of timber resources in England , John Evelyn argued that `` sowing and planting of trees had to be regarded as a national duty of every landowner , in order to stop the destructive over-exploitation of natural resources '' in his 1662 essay Sylva . In 1713 Hans Carl von Carlowitz , a senior mining administrator in the service of Elector Frederick Augustus I of Saxony published Sylvicultura oeconomica , a 400 - page work on forestry . Building upon the ideas of Evelyn and French minister Jean - Baptiste Colbert , von Carlowitz developed the concept of managing forests for sustained yield . His work influenced others , including Alexander von Humboldt and Georg Ludwig Hartig , eventually leading to the development of a science of forestry . This in turn influenced people like Gifford Pinchot , first head of the US Forest Service , whose approach to forest management was driven by the idea of wise use of resources , and Aldo Leopold whose land ethic was influential in the development of the environmental movement in the 1960s . Following the publication of Rachel Carson 's Silent Spring in 1962 , the developing environmental movement drew attention to the relationship between economic growth and development and environmental degradation . Kenneth E. Boulding in his influential 1966 essay The Economics of the Coming Spaceship Earth identified the need for the economic system to fit itself to the ecological system with its limited pools of resources . One of the first uses of the term sustainable in the contemporary sense was by the Club of Rome in 1972 in its classic report on the Limits to Growth , written by a group of scientists led by Dennis and Donella Meadows of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology . Describing the desirable `` state of global equilibrium '' , the authors wrote : `` We are searching for a model output that represents a world system that is sustainable without sudden and uncontrolled collapse and capable of satisfying the basic material requirements of all of its people . '' Following the Club of Rome report , an MIT research group prepared ten days of hearings on `` Growth and Its Implication for the Future '' ( Roundtable Press , 1973 ) for the US Congress , the first hearings ever held on sustainable development . William Flynn Martin , David Dodson Gray , and Elizabeth Gray prepared the hearings under the Chairmanship of Congressman John Dingell . In 1980 the International Union for the Conservation of Nature published a world conservation strategy that included one of the first references to sustainable development as a global priority and introduced the term `` sustainable development '' . Two years later , the United Nations World Charter for Nature raised five principles of conservation by which human conduct affecting nature is to be guided and judged . In 1987 the United Nations World Commission on Environment and Development released the report Our Common Future , commonly called the Brundtland Report . The report included what is now one of the most widely recognised definitions of sustainable development . `` Sustainable development is development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs . It contains within it two key concepts : The concept of ' needs ' , in particular , the essential needs of the world 's poor , to which overriding priority should be given ; and The idea of limitations imposed by the state of technology and social organization on the environment 's ability to meet present and future needs . '' -- World Commission on Environment and Development , Our Common Future ( 1987 ) Since the Brundtland Report , the concept of sustainable development has developed beyond the initial intergenerational framework to focus more on the goal of `` socially inclusive and environmentally sustainable economic growth '' . In 1992 , the UN Conference on Environment and Development published the Earth Charter , which outlines the building of a just , sustainable , and peaceful global society in the 21st century . The action plan Agenda 21 for sustainable development identified information , integration , and participation as key building blocks to help countries achieve development that recognises these interdependent pillars . It emphasises that in sustainable development everyone is a user and provider of information . It stresses the need to change from old sector - centered ways of doing business to new approaches that involve cross-sectoral co-ordination and the integration of environmental and social concerns into all development processes . Furthermore , Agenda 21 emphasises that broad public participation in decision making is a fundamental prerequisite for achieving sustainable development . Under the principles of the United Nations Charter the Millennium Declaration identified principles and treaties on sustainable development , including economic development , social development and environmental protection . Broadly defined , sustainable development is a systems approach to growth and development and to manage natural , produced , and social capital for the welfare of their own and future generations . The term sustainable development as used by the United Nations incorporates both issues associated with land development and broader issues of human development such as education , public health , and standard of living . A 2013 study concluded that sustainability reporting should be reframed through the lens of four interconnected domains : ecology , economics , politics and culture . Sustainable development goals ( SDGs ) ( edit ) In September 2015 , the United Nations General Assembly formally adopted the `` universal , integrated and transformative '' 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development , a set of 17 Sustainable Development Goals ( SDGs ) . The goals are to be implemented and achieved in every country from the year 2016 to 2030 . Domains ( edit ) See also : Planetary boundaries and Triple bottom line Scheme of sustainable development : at the confluence of three constituent parts . ( 2006 ) Sustainable development , or sustainability , has been described in terms of three spheres , dimensions , domains or pillars , i.e. the environment , the economy and society . The three - sphere framework was initially proposed by the economist René Passet in 1979 . It has also been worded as `` economic , environmental and social '' or `` ecology , economy and equity '' . This has been expanded by some authors to include a fourth pillar of culture , institutions or governance , or alternatively reconfigured as four domains of the social - ecology , economics , politics and culture , thus bringing economics back inside the social , and treating ecology as the intersection of the social and the natural . Environmental ( or ecological ) ( edit ) See also : Ecological engineering Relationship between ecological footprint and Human Development Index ( HDI ) The ecological stability of human settlements is part of the relationship between humans and their natural , social and built environments . Also termed human ecology , this broadens the focus of sustainable development to include the domain of human health . Fundamental human needs such as the availability and quality of air , water , food and shelter are also the ecological foundations for sustainable development ; addressing public health risk through investments in ecosystem services can be a powerful and transformative force for sustainable development which , in this sense , extends to all species . Environmental sustainability concerns the natural environment and how it endures and remains diverse and productive . Since natural resources are derived from the environment , the state of air , water , and the climate are of particular concern . The IPCC Fifth Assessment Report outlines current knowledge about scientific , technical and socio - economic information concerning climate change , and lists options for adaptation and mitigation . Environmental sustainability requires society to design activities to meet human needs while preserving the life support systems of the planet . This , for example , entails using water sustainably , utilizing renewable energy , and sustainable material supplies ( e.g. harvesting wood from forests at a rate that maintains the biomass and biodiversity ) . An unsustainable situation occurs when natural capital ( the sum total of nature 's resources ) is used up faster than it can be replenished . Sustainability requires that human activity only uses nature 's resources at a rate at which they can be replenished naturally . Inherently the concept of sustainable development is intertwined with the concept of carrying capacity . Theoretically , the long - term result of environmental degradation is the inability to sustain human life . Such degradation on a global scale should imply an increase in human death rate until population falls to what the degraded environment can support . If the degradation continues beyond a certain tipping point or critical threshold it would lead to eventual extinction for humanity . Consumption of non-renewable resources State of environment Sustainability More than nature 's ability to replenish Environmental degradation Not sustainable Equal to nature 's ability to replenish Environmental equilibrium Steady state economy Less than nature 's ability to replenish Environmental renewal Environmentally sustainable Integral elements for a sustainable development are research and innovation activities . A telling example is the European environmental research and innovation policy , which aims at defining and implementing a transformative agenda to greening the economy and the society as a whole so to achieve a truly sustainable development . Research and innovation in Europe is financially supported by the programme Horizon 2020 , which is also open to participation worldwide . A promising direction towards sustainable development is to design systems that are flexible and reversible . Pollution of the public resources is really not a different action , it just is a reverse tragedy of the commons , in that instead of taking something out , something is put into the commons . When the costs of polluting the commons are not calculated into the cost of the items consumed , then it becomes only natural to pollute , as the cost of pollution is external to the cost of the goods produced and the cost of cleaning the waste before it is discharged exceeds the cost of releasing the waste directly into the commons . So , the only way to solve this problem is by protecting the ecology of the commons by making it , through taxes or fines , more costly to release the waste directly into the commons than would be the cost of cleaning the waste before discharge . So , one can try to appeal to the ethics of the situation by doing the right thing as an individual , but in the absence of any direct consequences , the individual will tend to do what is best for the person and not what is best for the common good of the public . Once again , this issue needs to be addressed . Because , left unaddressed , the development of the commonly owned property will become impossible to achieve in a sustainable way . So , this topic is central to the understanding of creating a sustainable situation from the management of the public resources that are used for personal use . Agriculture ( edit ) See also : Sustainable agriculture Sustainable agriculture consists of environment friendly methods of farming that allow the production of crops or livestock without damage to human or natural systems . It involves preventing adverse effects to soil , water , biodiversity , surrounding or downstream resources -- as well as to those working or living on the farm or in neighboring areas . The concept of sustainable agriculture extends intergenerationally , passing on a conserved or improved natural resource , biotic , and economic base rather than one which has been depleted or polluted . Elements of sustainable agriculture include permaculture , agroforestry , mixed farming , multiple cropping , and crop rotation . It involves agricultural methods that do not undermine the environment , smart farming technologies that enhance a quality environment for humans to thrive and reclaiming and transforming deserts into farmlands ( Herman Daly , 2017 ) . Numerous sustainability standards and certification systems exist , including organic certification , Rainforest Alliance , Fair Trade , UTZ Certified , Bird Friendly , and the Common Code for the Coffee Community ( 4C ) . Economics ( edit ) A sewage treatment plant that uses solar energy , located at Santuari de Lluc monastery , Majorca . See also : Ecological economics It has been suggested that because of rural poverty and overexploitation , environmental resources should be treated as important economic assets , called natural capital . Economic development has traditionally required a growth in the gross domestic product . This model of unlimited personal and GDP growth may be over . Sustainable development may involve improvements in the quality of life for many but may necessitate a decrease in resource consumption . According to ecological economist Malte Faber , ecological economics is defined by its focus on nature , justice , and time . Issues of intergenerational equity , irreversibility of environmental change , uncertainty of long - term outcomes , and sustainable development guide ecological economic analysis and valuation . As early as the 1970s , the concept of sustainability was used to describe an economy `` in equilibrium with basic ecological support systems '' . Scientists in many fields have highlighted The Limits to Growth , and economists have presented alternatives , for example a ' steady - state economy ' ; to address concerns over the impacts of expanding human development on the planet . In 1987 the economist Edward Barbier published the study The Concept of Sustainable Economic Development , where he recognised that goals of environmental conservation and economic development are not conflicting and can be reinforcing each other . A World Bank study from 1999 concluded that based on the theory of genuine savings , policymakers have many possible interventions to increase sustainability , in macroeconomics or purely environmental . Several studies have noted that efficient policies for renewable energy and pollution are compatible with increasing human welfare , eventually reaching a golden - rule steady state . The study , Interpreting Sustainability in Economic Terms , found three pillars of sustainable development , interlinkage , intergenerational equity , and dynamic efficiency . But Gilbert Rist points out that the World Bank has twisted the notion of sustainable development to prove that economic development need not be deterred in the interest of preserving the ecosystem . He writes : `` From this angle , ' sustainable development ' looks like a cover - up operation ... The thing that is meant to be sustained is really ' development ' , not the tolerance capacity of the ecosystem or of human societies . '' The World Bank , a leading producer of environmental knowledge , continues to advocate the win - win prospects for economic growth and ecological stability even as its economists express their doubts . Herman Daly , an economist for the Bank from 1988 to 1994 , writes : When authors of WDR ' 92 ( the highly influential 1992 World Development Report that featured the environment ) were drafting the report , they called me asking for examples of `` win - win '' strategies in my work . What could I say ? None exists in that pure form ; there are trade - offs , not `` win - wins . '' But they want to see a world of `` win - wins '' based on articles of faith , not fact . I wanted to contribute because WDRs are important in the Bank , ( because ) task managers read ( them ) to find philosophical justification for their latest round of projects . But they did not want to hear about how things really are , or what I find in my work ... '' A meta review in 2002 looked at environmental and economic valuations and found a lack of `` sustainability policies '' . A study in 2004 asked if we consume too much . A study concluded in 2007 that knowledge , manufactured and human capital ( health and education ) has not compensated for the degradation of natural capital in many parts of the world . It has been suggested that intergenerational equity can be incorporated into a sustainable development and decision making , as has become common in economic valuations of climate economics . A meta review in 2009 identified conditions for a strong case to act on climate change , and called for more work to fully account of the relevant economics and how it affects human welfare . According to free - market environmentalist John Baden `` the improvement of environment quality depends on the market economy and the existence of legitimate and protected property rights '' . They enable the effective practice of personal responsibility and the development of mechanisms to protect the environment . The State can in this context `` create conditions which encourage the people to save the environment '' . Misum , Mistra Center for Sustainable Markets , based at Stockholm School of Economics , aims to provide policy research and advice to Swedish and international actors on Sustainable Markets . Misum is a cross-disciplinary and multi-stakeholder knowledge center dedicated to sustainability and sustainable markets and contains three research platforms : Sustainability in Financial Markets ( Mistra Financial Systems ) , Sustainability in Production and Consumption and Sustainable Socio - Economic Development . Environmental economics ( edit ) Main article : Environmental economics The total environment includes not just the biosphere of earth , air , and water , but also human interactions with these things , with nature , and what humans have created as their surroundings . As countries around the world continue to advance economically , they put a strain on the ability of the natural environment to absorb the high level of pollutants that are created as a part of this economic growth . Therefore , solutions need to be found so that the economies of the world can continue to grow , but not at the expense of the public good . In the world of economics the amount of environmental quality must be considered as limited in supply and therefore is treated as a scarce resource . This is a resource to be protected . One common way to analyze possible outcomes of policy decisions on the scarce resource is to do a cost - benefit analysis . This type of analysis contrasts different options of resource allocation and , based on an evaluation of the expected courses of action and the consequences of these actions , the optimal way to do so in the light of different policy goals can be elicited . Benefit - cost analysis basically can look at several ways of solving a problem and then assigning the best route for a solution , based on the set of consequences that would result from the further development of the individual courses of action , and then choosing the course of action that results in the least amount of damage to the expected outcome for the environmental quality that remains after that development or process takes place . Further complicating this analysis are the interrelationships of the various parts of the environment that might be impacted by the chosen course of action . Sometimes it is almost impossible to predict the various outcomes of a course of action , due to the unexpected consequences and the amount of unknowns that are not accounted for in the benefit - cost analysis . Energy ( edit ) Main articles : Smart grid and Sustainable energy Sustainable energy is clean and can be used over a long period of time . Unlike fossil fuels and biofuels that provide the bulk of the worlds energy , renewable energy sources like hydroelectric , solar and wind energy produce far less pollution . Solar energy is commonly used on public parking meters , street lights and the roof of buildings . Wind power has expanded quickly , its share of worldwide electricity usage at the end of 2014 was 3.1 % . Most of California 's fossil fuel infrastructures are sited in or near low - income communities , and have traditionally suffered the most from California 's fossil fuel energy system . These communities are historically left out during the decision - making process , and often end up with dirty power plants and other dirty energy projects that poison the air and harm the area . These toxicants are major contributors to health problems in the communities . As renewable energy becomes more common , fossil fuel infrastructures are replaced by renewables , providing better social equity to these communities . Overall , and in the long run , sustainable development in the field of energy is also deemed to contribute to economic sustainability and national security of communities , thus being increasingly encouraged through investment policies . Manufacturing ( edit ) Main article : Green manufacturing and Distributed manufacturing Technology ( edit ) See also : Appropriate technology , Environmental engineering , and Environmental technology One of the core concepts in sustainable development is that technology can be used to assist people meet their developmental needs . Technology to meet these sustainable development needs is often referred to as appropriate technology , which is an ideological movement ( and its manifestations ) originally articulated as intermediate technology by the economist E.F. Schumacher in his influential work , Small is Beautiful. and now covers a wide range of technologies . Both Schumacher and many modern - day proponents of appropriate technology also emphasise the technology as people - centered . Today appropriate technology is often developed using open source principles , which have led to open - source appropriate technology ( OSAT ) and thus many of the plans of the technology can be freely found on the Internet . OSAT has been proposed as a new model of enabling innovation for sustainable development . Transport ( edit ) See also : Sustainable transport Transportation is a large contributor to greenhouse gas emissions . It is said that one - third of all gasses produced are due to transportation . Motorized transport also releases exhaust fumes that contain particulate matter which is hazardous to human health and a contributor to climate change . Sustainable transport has many social and economic benefits that can accelerate local sustainable development . According to a series of reports by the Low Emission Development Strategies Global Partnership ( LEDS GP ) , sustainable transport can help create jobs , improve commuter safety through investment in bicycle lanes and pedestrian pathways , make access to employment and social opportunities more affordable and efficient . It also offers a practical opportunity to save people 's time and household income as well as government budgets , making investment in sustainable transport a ' win - win ' opportunity . Some Western countries are making transportation more sustainable in both long - term and short - term implementations . An example is the modification in available transportation in Freiburg , Germany . The city has implemented extensive methods of public transportation , cycling , and walking , along with large areas where cars are not allowed . Since many Western countries are highly automobile - oriented , the main transit that people use is personal vehicles . About 80 % of their travel involves cars . Therefore , California , is one of the highest greenhouse gases emitters in the United States . The federal government has to come up with some plans to reduce the total number of vehicle trips in order to lower greenhouse gases emission . Such as : Improve public transit through the provision of larger coverage area in order to provide more mobility and accessibility , new technology to provide a more reliable and responsive public transportation network . Encourage walking and biking through the provision of wider pedestrian pathway , bike share stations in downtowns , locate parking lots far from the shopping center , limit on street parking , slower traffic lane in downtown area . Increase the cost of car ownership and gas taxes through increased parking fees and tolls , encouraging people to drive more fuel efficient vehicles . This can produce a social equity problem , since lower income people usually drive older vehicles with lower fuel efficiency . Government can use the extra revenue collected from taxes and tolls to improve public transportation and benefit poor communities . Other states and nations have built efforts to translate knowledge in behavioral economics into evidence - based sustainable transportation policies . Business ( edit ) See also : Corporate sustainability The most broadly accepted criterion for corporate sustainability constitutes a firm 's efficient use of natural capital . This eco-efficiency is usually calculated as the economic value added by a firm in relation to its aggregated ecological impact . This idea has been popularised by the World Business Council for Sustainable Development ( WBCSD ) under the following definition : `` Eco-efficiency is achieved by the delivery of competitively priced goods and services that satisfy human needs and bring quality of life , while progressively reducing ecological impacts and resource intensity throughout the life - cycle to a level at least in line with the earth 's carrying capacity '' ( DeSimone and Popoff , 1997 : 47 ) . Similar to the eco-efficiency concept but so far less explored is the second criterion for corporate sustainability . Socio - efficiency describes the relation between a firm 's value added and its social impact . Whereas , it can be assumed that most corporate impacts on the environment are negative ( apart from rare exceptions such as the planting of trees ) this is not true for social impacts . These can be either positive ( e.g. corporate giving , creation of employment ) or negative ( e.g. work accidents , mobbing of employees , human rights abuses ) . Depending on the type of impact socio - efficiency thus either tries to minimise negative social impacts ( i.e. accidents per value added ) or maximise positive social impacts ( i.e. donations per value added ) in relation to the value added . Both eco-efficiency and socio - efficiency are concerned primarily with increasing economic sustainability . In this process they instrumentalise both natural and social capital aiming to benefit from win - win situations . However , as Dyllick and Hockerts point out the business case alone will not be sufficient to realise sustainable development . They point towards eco-effectiveness , socio - effectiveness , sufficiency , and eco-equity as four criteria that need to be met if sustainable development is to be reached . CASI Global , New York `` CSR & Sustainability together lead to sustainable development . CSR as in corporate social responsibility is not what you do with your profits , but is the way you make profits . This means CSR is a part of every department of the company value chain and not a part of HR / independent department . Sustainability as in effects towards Human resources , Environment and Ecology has to be measured within each department of the company . '' http://casiglobal.us/ Income ( edit ) At the present time , sustainable development can reduce poverty . Sustainable development reduces poverty through financial ( among other things , a balanced budget ) , environmental ( living conditions ) , and social ( including equality of income ) means . Architecture ( edit ) See also : Sustainable architecture In sustainable architecture the recent movements of New Urbanism and New Classical architecture promote a sustainable approach towards construction , that appreciates and develops smart growth , architectural tradition and classical design . This in contrast to modernist and International Style architecture , as well as opposing to solitary housing estates and suburban sprawl , with long commuting distances and large ecological footprints . Both trends started in the 1980s . ( It should be noted that sustainable architecture is predominantly relevant to the economics domain while architectural landscaping pertains more to the ecological domain . ) Politics ( edit ) See also : Environmental politics , Environmental governance , and Sustainability metrics and indices A study concluded that social indicators and , therefore , sustainable development indicators , are scientific constructs whose principal objective is to inform public policy - making . The International Institute for Sustainable Development has similarly developed a political policy framework , linked to a sustainability index for establishing measurable entities and metrics . The framework consists of six core areas , international trade and investment , economic policy , climate change and energy , measurement and assessment , natural resource management , and the role of communication technologies in sustainable development . The United Nations Global Compact Cities Programme has defined sustainable political development in a way that broadens the usual definition beyond states and governance . The political is defined as the domain of practices and meanings associated with basic issues of social power as they pertain to the organisation , authorisation , legitimation and regulation of a social life held in common . This definition is in accord with the view that political change is important for responding to economic , ecological and cultural challenges . It also means that the politics of economic change can be addressed . They have listed seven subdomains of the domain of politics : Organization and governance Law and justice Communication and critique Representation and negotiation Security and accord Dialogue and reconciliation Ethics and accountability This accords with the Brundtland Commission emphasis on development that is guided by human rights principles ( see above ) . Culture ( edit ) Framing of sustainable development progress according to the Circles of Sustainability , used by the United Nations . Working with a different emphasis , some researchers and institutions have pointed out that a fourth dimension should be added to the dimensions of sustainable development , since the triple - bottom - line dimensions of economic , environmental and social do not seem to be enough to reflect the complexity of contemporary society . In this context , the Agenda 21 for culture and the United Cities and Local Governments ( UCLG ) Executive Bureau lead the preparation of the policy statement `` Culture : Fourth Pillar of Sustainable Development '' , passed on 17 November 2010 , in the framework of the World Summit of Local and Regional Leaders -- 3rd World Congress of UCLG , held in Mexico City . This document inaugurates a new perspective and points to the relation between culture and sustainable development through a dual approach : developing a solid cultural policy and advocating a cultural dimension in all public policies . The Circles of Sustainability approach distinguishes the four domains of economic , ecological , political and cultural sustainability . Other organizations have also supported the idea of a fourth domain of sustainable development . The Network of Excellence `` Sustainable Development in a Diverse World '' , sponsored by the European Union , integrates multidisciplinary capacities and interprets cultural diversity as a key element of a new strategy for sustainable development . The Fourth Pillar of Sustainable Development Theory has been referenced by executive director of IMI Institute at UNESCO Vito Di Bari in his manifesto of art and architectural movement Neo-Futurism , whose name was inspired by the 1987 United Nations ' report Our Common Future . The Circles of Sustainability approach used by Metropolis defines the ( fourth ) cultural domain as practices , discourses , and material expressions , which , over time , express continuities and discontinuities of social meaning .

( April 2014 ) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message ) Progress ( edit ) See also : Sustainable development goals The United Nations Conference on Sustainable Development ( UNCSD ; also known as Rio 2012 ) was the third international conference on sustainable development , which aimed at reconciling the economic and environmental goals of the global community . An outcome of this conference was the development of the Sustainable Development Goals that aim to promote sustainable progress and eliminate inequalities around the world . However , few nations met the World Wide Fund for Nature 's definition of sustainable development criteria established in 2006 . Although some nations are more developed than others , all nations are constantly developing because each nation struggles with perpetuating disparities , inequalities and unequal access to fundamental rights and freedoms . Measurement ( edit ) Main articles : Ecological footprint and Sustainability measurement Deforestation and increased road - building in the Amazon Rainforest are a concern because of increased human encroachment upon wilderness areas , increased resource extraction and further threats to biodiversity . In 2007 a report for the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency stated : `` While much discussion and effort has gone into sustainability indicators , none of the resulting systems clearly tells us whether our society is sustainable . At best , they can tell us that we are heading in the wrong direction , or that our current activities are not sustainable . More often , they simply draw our attention to the existence of problems , doing little to tell us the origin of those problems and nothing to tell us how to solve them . '' Nevertheless , a majority of authors assume that a set of well defined and harmonised indicators is the only way to make sustainability tangible . Those indicators are expected to be identified and adjusted through empirical observations ( trial and error ) . The most common critiques are related to issues like data quality , comparability , objective function and the necessary resources . However a more general criticism is coming from the project management community : How can a sustainable development be achieved at global level if we can not monitor it in any single project ? The Cuban - born researcher and entrepreneur Sonia Bueno suggests an alternative approach that is based upon the integral , long - term cost - benefit relationship as a measure and monitoring tool for the sustainability of every project , activity or enterprise . Furthermore , this concept aims to be a practical guideline towards sustainable development following the principle of conservation and increment of value rather than restricting the consumption of resources . Reasonable qualifications of sustainability are seen U.S. Green Building Council 's ( USGBC ) Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design ( LEED ) . This design incorporates some ecological , economic , and social elements . The goals presented by LEED design goals are sustainable sites , water efficiency , energy and atmospheric emission reduction , material and resources efficiency , and indoor environmental quality . Although amount of structures for sustainability development is many , these qualification has become a standard for sustainable building . Recent research efforts created also the SDEWES Index to benchmark the performance of cities across aspects that are related to energy , water and environment systems . The SDEWES Index consists of 7 dimensions , 35 indicators , and close to 20 sub-indicators . It is currently applied to 58 cities . Natural capital ( edit ) Deforestation of native rain forest in Rio de Janeiro City for extraction of clay for civil engineering ( 2009 picture ) . The sustainable development debate is based on the assumption that societies need to manage three types of capital ( economic , social , and natural ) , which may be non-substitutable and whose consumption might be irreversible . Leading ecological economist and steady - state theorist Herman Daly , for example , points to the fact that natural capital can not necessarily be substituted by economic capital . While it is possible that we can find ways to replace some natural resources , it is much more unlikely that they will ever be able to replace eco-system services , such as the protection provided by the ozone layer , or the climate stabilizing function of the Amazonian forest . In fact natural capital , social capital and economic capital are often complementarities . A further obstacle to substitutability lies also in the multi-functionality of many natural resources . Forests , for example , not only provide the raw material for paper ( which can be substituted quite easily ) , but they also maintain biodiversity , regulate water flow , and absorb CO2 . Another problem of natural and social capital deterioration lies in their partial irreversibility . The loss of biodiversity , for example , is often definitive . The same can be true for cultural diversity . For example , with globalisation advancing quickly the number of indigenous languages is dropping at alarming rates . Moreover , the depletion of natural and social capital may have non-linear consequences . Consumption of natural and social capital may have no observable impact until a certain threshold is reached . A lake can , for example , absorb nutrients for a long time while actually increasing its productivity . However , once a certain level of algae is reached lack of oxygen causes the lake 's ecosystem to break down suddenly . Business - as - usual ( edit ) Before flue - gas desulfurization was installed , the air - polluting emissions from this power plant in New Mexico contained excessive amounts of sulfur dioxide . If the degradation of natural and social capital has such important consequence the question arises why action is not taken more systematically to alleviate it . Cohen and Winn point to four types of market failure as possible explanations : First , while the benefits of natural or social capital depletion can usually be privatised , the costs are often externalised ( i.e. they are borne not by the party responsible but by society in general ) . Second , natural capital is often undervalued by society since we are not fully aware of the real cost of the depletion of natural capital . Information asymmetry is a third reason -- often the link between cause and effect is obscured , making it difficult for actors to make informed choices . Cohen and Winn close with the realization that contrary to economic theory many firms are not perfect optimisers . They postulate that firms often do not optimise resource allocation because they are caught in a `` business as usual '' mentality . Education ( edit ) Main page : Education for sustainable development Education must be revisited in light of a renewed vision of sustainable human and social development that is both equitable and viable . This vision of sustainability must take into consideration the social , environmental and economic dimensions of human development and the various ways in which these relate to education : ' An empowering education is one that builds the human resources we need to be productive , to continue to learn , to solve problems , to be creative , and to live together and with nature in peace and harmony . When nations ensure that such an education is accessible to all throughout their lives , a quiet revolution is set in motion : education becomes the engine of sustainable development and the key to a better world . ' Higher education in sustainability across education streams including engineering , finance , supply chain and operations is gaining weight - age . Multiple institutes including Wharton , Columbia , CASI Global New York offer certifications in Sustainability . Corporate 's prefer employees certified in sustainability . Reference https://www.wharton.upenn.edu/ http://www.columbia.edu/ http://casiglobal.us/ Insubstantial stretching of the term ( edit ) It has been argued that since the 1960s , the concept of sustainable development has changed from `` conservation management '' to `` economic development '' , whereby the original meaning of the concept has been stretched somewhat . In the 1960s , the international community realised that many African countries needed national plans to safeguard wildlife habitats , and that rural areas had to confront the limits imposed by soil , climate and water availability . This was a strategy of conservation management . In the 1970s , however , the focus shifted to the broader issues of the provisioning of basic human needs , community participation as well as appropriate technology use throughout the developing countries ( and not just in Africa ) . This was a strategy of economic development , and the strategy was carried even further by the Brundtland Commission 's report on Our Common Future when the issues went from regional to international in scope and application . In effect , the conservationists were crowded out and superseded by the developers . But shifting the focus of sustainable development from conservation to development has had the imperceptible effect of stretching the original forest management term of sustainable yield from the use of renewable resources only ( like forestry ) , to now also accounting for the use of non-renewable resources ( like minerals ) . This stretching of the term has been questioned . Thus , environmental economist Kerry Turner has argued that literally , there can be no such thing as overall `` sustainable development '' in an industrialised world economy that remains heavily dependent on the extraction of earth 's finite stock of exhaustible mineral resources : `` It makes no sense to talk about the sustainable use of a non-renewable resource ( even with substantial recycling effort and use rates ) . Any positive rate of exploitation will eventually lead to exhaustion of the finite stock . '' In effect , it has been argued that the industrial revolution as a whole is unsustainable . One critic has argued that the Brundtland Commission promoted nothing but a business as usual strategy for world development , with the ambiguous and insubstantial concept of `` sustainable development '' attached as a public relations slogan : The report on Our Common Future was largely the result of a political bargaining process involving many special interest groups , all put together to create a common appeal of political acceptability across borders . After World War II , the notion of `` development '' had been established in the West to imply the projection of the American model of society onto the rest of the world . In the 1970s and 1980s , this notion was broadened somewhat to also imply human rights , basic human needs and finally , ecological issues . The emphasis of the report was on helping poor nations out of poverty and meeting the basic needs of their growing populations -- as usual . This issue demanded more economic growth , also in the rich countries , who would then import more goods from the poor countries to help them out -- as usual . When the discussion switched to global ecological limits to growth , the obvious dilemma was left aside by calling for economic growth with improved resource efficiency , or what was termed `` a change in the quality of growth '' . However , most countries in the West had experienced such improved resource efficiency since the early - 20th century already and as usual ; only , this improvement had been more than offset by continuing industrial expansion , to the effect that world resource consumption was now higher than ever before -- and these two historical trends were completely ignored in the report . Taken together , the policy of perpetual economic growth for the entire planet remained virtually intact . Since the publication of the report , the ambiguous and insubstantial slogan of `` sustainable development '' has marched on worldwide .

when did the concept of sustainable development come into existence
[ "While the modern concept of sustainable development is derived mostly from the 1987 Brundtland Report, it is also rooted in earlier ideas about sustainable forest management and twentieth century environmental concerns. As the concept developed, it has shifted to focus more on economic development, social development and environmental protection for future generations. It has been suggested that \"the term 'sustainability' should be viewed as humanity's target goal of human-ecosystem equilibrium (homeostasis), while 'sustainable development' refers to the holistic approach and temporal processes that lead us to the end point of sustainability\".[1] The modern economies are endeavouring to reconcile ambitious economic development and obligations of preserving the natural resources and ecosystem, the two are traditionally seen as of conflicting nature. Instead of holding climate change commitments and other sustainability measures as a drug to economic development, turning and leveraging them into market opportunities will do greater good. The economic development brought by such organized principles and practices in an economy is called Managed Sustainable Development (MSD).\n" ]

List of best-selling music artists
List of best - selling Music artists - wikipedia List of best - selling Music artists Jump to : navigation , search This list includes music artists with claims of 75 million or more record sales . The artists in the following tables are listed with both their claimed sales figure along with their total of certified units and are ranked in descending order , with the artist with the highest amount of claimed sales at the top . If two or more artists have the same claimed sales , they are then ranked by certified units . The claimed sales figure and the total of certified units ( for each country ) within the provided sources include sales of albums , singles , compilation - albums , music videos as well as downloads of singles and full - length albums . Sales figures , such as those from Soundscan , which are sometimes published by Billboard magazine , have not been included in the certified units column . As of 2017 , based on both sales claims and certified units , The Beatles are considered the highest - selling band . Elvis Presley is considered the highest - selling individual artist based on sales claims and Rihanna is the highest - selling individual artist based on certified units . Contents ( hide ) 1 Definitions 2 Artists by reputed sales 2.1 250 million or more records 2.2 200 million to 249 million records 2.3 120 million to 199 million records 2.4 100 million to 119 million records 2.5 80 million to 99 million records 2.6 75 million to 79 million records 3 See also 4 Notes 5 References Definitions All artists included on this list , which have begun charting on official albums or singles charts have their available claimed figures supported by at least 20 % in certified units . That is why Cliff Richard , Diana Ross , Scorpions , Charles Aznavour , Bing Crosby , Gloria Estefan , Deep Purple , Iron Maiden , Tom Jones , The Jackson 5 , Dionne Warwick , the Spice Girls , Luciano Pavarotti , Dolly Parton , Ozzy Osbourne , Andrea Bocelli and others have not been included on this list . The more recent the artist , the higher the required percentage of certified units , so artists such as Rihanna , Taylor Swift , Flo Rida , Katy Perry , Justin Bieber , Adele , Lady Gaga , Bruno Mars and Nicki Minaj are expected to have their claimed figures supported by over 75 % in certified units . The certified units are sourced from available online databases of local music industry associations . All certified units are converted from Gold / Platinum / Diamond certification awards based on criteria provided by certifying bodies . The certified sales percentage varies according to the first year that an artist appeared in the charts . The requirements of certified sales are designed to avoid inflated sales figures , which are frequently practiced by record companies for promotional purposes . The claimed figures are referenced from online articles created by highly reliable sources . For clarity , the sources used , say the term `` records '' ( singles , albums , videos ) and not `` albums '' . However , if all available sources for an artist or band say `` albums '' , such sources are only used if the certified album units of the said artist meet the required percentage amount . This list uses claimed figures that are closest to artists ' available certified units : inflated claimed figures that meet the required certified units amount but are unrealistically high , are not used . The claimed figures are upgraded only when there is a significant progress in artists ' certified sales . In other words , the available certified sales for each artist should get relatively closer to already listed claimed figure in order for higher figures to replace the listed ones . The certified sales of the newer artists may sometimes be higher than their listed claimed figures . This is because Recording Industry Association of America and almost all other certifying bodies count streaming towards Gold and Platinum thresholds required for Digital Single Award certification . For this reason , some singles and even albums get over certified by hundreds of thousands of units . The over certified figures , however , are often in millions of units for RIAA certifications , one such example is Rihanna 's single `` We Found Love '' , which is certified at nine times Platinum by the RIAA , yet during the time of the certification , it had sold 5.4 million downloads . The certified sales for some artists / bands who have multi-disc albums can be higher than their listed claimed figures due to Recording Industry Association of America ( RIAA ) counting each unit within set as one unit toward certification . Artists by reputed sales 250 million or more records The Beatles Elvis Presley Michael Jackson Madonna Elton John Led Zeppelin Pink Floyd To ensure the highest level of fact checking and editorial control , this list sources sales figures to news organizations and highly regarded music industry related organizations such as MTV , VH1 , Billboard and Rolling Stone . The figures of total certified units within the table below are based on certified units of albums , singles ( including digital downloads ) and videos . Markets ' order within the table is based on Retail Value : each market generates respectively , the largest market at the top and smallest at the bottom .

who's the best selling artist of all time
[ "This list includes music artists with claims of 75 million or more record sales. The artists in the following tables are listed with both their claimed sales figure along with their total of certified units and are ranked in descending order, with the artist with the highest amount of claimed sales at the top. If two or more artists have the same claimed sales, they are then ranked by certified units. The claimed sales figure and the total of certified units (for each country) within the provided sources include sales of albums, singles, compilation-albums, music videos as well as downloads of singles and full-length albums. Sales figures, such as those from Soundscan, which are sometimes published by Billboard magazine, have not been included in the certified units column. As of 2017[update], based on both sales claims and certified units, The Beatles are considered the highest-selling band. Elvis Presley is considered the highest-selling individual artist based on sales claims and Rihanna is the highest-selling individual artist based on certified units." ]

It is located about 15 miles ( 24 km ) west of Las Vegas , and is easily seen from the Las Vegas Strip . The area is visited by more than two million people each year . The conservation area showcases a set of large red rock formations : a set of sandstone peaks and walls called the Keystone Thrust . The walls are up to 3,000 feet ( 910 m ) high , making them a popular hiking and rock climbing destination . The highest point is La Madre Mountain , at 8,154 feet ( 2,485 m ) . A one - way loop road , 13 miles ( 21 km ) long , provides vehicle access to many of the features in the area . Several side roads and parking areas allow access to many of the area trails . A visitor center is located at the start of the loop road . The loop road is also very popular for bicycle touring ; it begins with a moderate climb , then is mostly downhill or flat . Red Rock Canyon is a side - canyon accessible only by an unmaintained primitive road from the scenic loop which mostly only off - road or high clearance vehicles can access . State Route 159 cuts through an unnamed but often - visited valley ; it is commonly , but mistakenly , referred to as Red Rock Canyon . The Wilson Cliffs , or Keystone Thrust , a massive wall of rock , can be seen to the west from SR 159 . Towards the southern end of the National Conservation Area are Spring Mountain Ranch State Park ; Bonnie Springs , a replica of a western ghost town ; and the village of Blue Diamond . Contents ( hide ) 1 History 1.1 Native Americans 1.2 Modern history 2 Biology 3 Climate 4 Geology 5 Activities 5.1 Rock climbing 5.2 Hiking 6 Wildfire history 7 Gallery 8 Notes 9 References 10 External links History ( edit ) Native Americans ( edit ) Petroglyphs in Red Rock Canyon Lomatium parryi , a common plant consumed by early Native Americans The first humans were attracted to the Red Rock area due to its resources of water , plant , and animal life that could not be easily found in the surrounding desert . Hunters and gatherers such as the historical Southern Paiute and the much older Archaic , or Desert Culture Native Americans , have successively occupied this area . As many as six different Native American cultures may have been present at Red Rock over the millennia . The following chronology is an approximation , from the present to ancient pre-history : Southern Paiute - 900 to modern times Patayan Culture - 900 to early historic times in the 1800s Anasazi - 1 AD to 1150 . Pinto / Gypsum - ( Archaic ) 3500 BC to 1 AD . San Dieguito - 7000 to 5500 BC . Paleo - Indians ( Tule Springs ) - 11,000 to 8000 BC . Numerous petroglyphs , as well as pottery fragments , remain today throughout the area . In addition , several roasting pits used by the early Native Americans at Red Rock provide further evidence of human activity in the past . Modern history ( edit ) In the early 1900s , around the time the first European Americans settled in nearby Las Vegas , a small sandstone quarry was operated by the Excelsior Company near the northern area of the scenic loop . It proved to be uneconomical and was shut down . Evidence of the quarry 's existence includes some of the huge sandstone blocks that have been left behind . The Red Rocks have been used as a film location for such movies as Roy Rogers and his horse Trigger in Bells of San Angelo ( 1947 ) and was a location for The Stalking Moon with Gregory Peck in 1968 . In 1967 , the Bureau of Land Management designated 10,000 acres ( 4,000 ha ) as the Red Rock Recreation Lands . By 1990 , special legislation changed the status of the Red Rock Recreation Lands to a National Conservation Area , a status that also provides funds used to maintain and protect it . The Howard Hughes Corporation , developer of Summerlin , has transferred land adjacent to the protected area , to provide a buffer between development and the conservation area . On the west side , Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area is adjacent to the Spring Mountains National Recreation Area . Biology ( edit ) Mojave Max , a desert tortoise The conservation area is one of the easternmost parts of the Mojave Desert ; the lowest elevation of the area , from 3,600 to 4,500 feet ( 1,100 to 1,400 m ) , is in the Lower Sonoran Zone , while the area from 4,500 feet ( 1,400 m ) up is in the Upper Sonoran Zone . The character of the sandstone layers is such that a number of year - round springs may be found in the recesses of the side canyons . Some 600 species of plants are known in the area . Common types in the valley floor include the Joshua tree , Mojave yucca , banana yucca , creosote , and blackbrush . Higher up the Utah juniper and Sonoran scrub oak ( also called scrub live oak ) come to dominate . Agave is easy to spot in red rock niches , with its thick low leaves and flowering stem that reaches twice the height of a man . The Calico Tanks trail has a plaque about prehistoric agave roasting pits . Ponderosa pines may be found at the top of the valley , where it connects to the Spring Mountains . Wild burros are a familiar sight , as are rabbits and ground squirrels . Desert bighorn sheep are occasionally seen at higher elevations . During rare spring and summer rainstorms , tiny red - spotted toads can be seen emerging from pools of water . The Conservation Area is protected habitat for the desert tortoise .

The Red Rock area was located under an ocean basin during the Paleozoic Era 600 million years ago . Up to 9,000 feet of limey sediments were deposited and eventually lithified to limestone . During the Mesozoic Era 250 million years ago , the earth 's crust started to rise due to tectonic shifts , and marine shales and sandstones were deposited . As the basin became isolated evaporite formations of salt and gypsum were deposited . Oxidation of the iron minerals in the sediments resulted in the red colors of some of the rocks . Deposition by streams and in swamp environments resulted in the formation of petrified wood in the area . By 180 million years ago , the climate continued to change and the area became a desert featuring vast expanses of huge shifting sand dunes . These dunes accumulated over a broad area , up to a half mile thick , and were lithified , cemented with calcium carbonate and iron oxides . They developed as the colorful Aztec Sandstone . During a mountain - building period called the Laramide orogeny around 66 million years ago , the Keystone Thrust Fault developed . The Keystone is part of a series of thrust faults which ran through much of western North America and through the Red Rock Conservation Area . The movement of this fault forced the older gray sedimentary rock over the younger red rocks , forming the varicolored landscape that can be seen in the mountain today . The thrust is exposed over a distance of 13 miles along the Red Rock escarpment . The Lee Canyon thrust plate may contain over 4,000 ft ( 1,200 m ) of terrigenous rocks at the base . The Wheeler Pass thrust may contain at least 11,000 ft ( 3,300 m ) of these rocks as well . Activities ( edit ) Climbers at the second pullout of the scenic loop Red Rock provides a wide variety of activities , the most popular being hiking , biking , rock scrambling , and rock climbing . Horseback riding and camping are also allowed on specific trails and in designated areas . Automobile and motorcycle clubs often conduct group drives through the 13 - mile scenic drive . ATV use is not permitted in the area . Aside from the obvious dangers from climbing rock faces and cliffs , visitors are informed that temperatures can routinely exceed 105 ° F ( 41 ° C ) in the summer , so they must bring plenty of water . Visitors hiking into the backcountry off established trails are advised against traveling alone , and should inform other people of their plans . Risks include the presence of venomous rattlesnakes and flash flooding / lightning from thunderstorms . Rock climbing ( edit ) Although the Yosemite - size walls offer a host of challenging lines , technical climbing activity was not recorded before 1968 . The first modern routes , climbed in the early 1970s , are described in several books . The rock is Aztec Sandstone , a relatively solid variety with a hard surface varnish . Many climbs involve ascents of single crack systems hundreds of feet long . The climbs of Red Rock cover a broad range of length and difficulty . The long , easy routes had made the area a common climbing training ground , but the canyon also offers many difficult climbs as well . In recent decades , this broad appeal and the classic nature of many routes has made the area an international destination for rock climbers . Popular sport climbing areas include the Calico Hills and Sandstone Quarry . Red Rock has a multitude of traditional climbing areas , including single - pitch areas such as Brass Wall and Necromancer Wall , along with multi-pitch areas such as Eagle Wall , Aeolian Wall , Mescalito , and Solar Slab . Long free and big - wall aid routes are found on features such as the Rainbow Wall , first climbed over three days in 1973 by Joe Herbst and Larry Hamilton . Hiking ( edit ) Red Rock has hiking trails . There is a hiking trail map here . There are also picnic areas . Trails are changed and diverted depending upon the needs of the ecosystem . In early spring , depending upon the precipitation , waterfalls may be seen on the edge of the canyons .

From the loop area , visitors may see both the damage caused by these events as well as the ability of the desert to heal itself over time . Recent fires seemed to have been in part fueled by the thick growth of invasive , non-native red brome and cheat grasses . They also compete with the native plants in the area for resources . So far the Bureau of Land Management has not developed plans to control these weeds , as control methods such as using herbicides can be both costly anddamaging to the native plants . Several significant wildfires have burned within the Red Rock Canyon NCA in recent years , including : 1998 - A fire occurred in the loop area . By 2003 regrowth made it difficult to find the burn area . June 25 , 2005 - The Goodsprings fire consumed more than 31,600 acres ( 12,800 ha ) , burning into Red Rock NCA 's southern area . July 22 , 2005 - Lightning caused an 800 acres ( 320 ha ) fire in the loop area . September 6 , 2006 - Yet another fire was started by lightning in the loop near the visitor 's center and burned around 1,500 acres ( 610 ha ) . July 2013 - Carpenter I fire . Burned mainly in the Spring Mountain NRA , but encroached on the north west portion of the conservation area . Can be easily viewed from SR 157 Kyle Canyon Road . Caused by lightning in Trout Canyon nearby .

Maria von Trapp
Maria von Trapp - wikipedia Maria von Trapp Jump to : navigation , search This article is about the matriarch of the Trapp Family Singers . For her stepdaughter who died in 2014 , see Maria Franziska von Trapp . Maria von Trapp Photo from Declaration of Intention , 21 January 1944 Maria Augusta Kutschera ( 1905 - 01 - 26 ) 26 January 1905 Vienna , Austria - Hungary 28 March 1987 ( 1987 - 03 - 28 ) ( aged 82 ) Morrisville , Vermont , U.S. Spouse ( s ) Georg von Trapp ( m . 1927 -- 1947 ; his death ) Children Rosmarie von Trapp Eleonore von Trapp Johannes von Trapp Maria Augusta von Trapp ( née Kutschera ; 26 January 1905 -- 28 March 1987 ) , also known as Baroness von Trapp , was the stepmother and matriarch of the Trapp Family Singers . She wrote The Story of the Trapp Family Singers which was published in 1949 . The story served as the inspiration for the 1956 West German film The Trapp Family , which in turn inspired the Broadway musical The Sound of Music ( 1959 ) and the 1965 film of the same name . Contents ( hide ) 1 Early life 2 Marriage 3 Financial problems 4 Early musical career and departure from Austria 5 Move to the United States 6 Death 7 Decorations and awards 8 Children 9 Adaptations of the autobiography 10 Writings 11 References 12 External links Early Life ( edit ) Maria was born on 26 January 1905 , the daughter of Augusta ( née Rainer ) and Karl Kutschera . She was delivered on a train heading from her parents ' village in Tyrol to a hospital in Vienna , Austria . She was an orphan by her tenth birthday . She graduated from the State Teachers College for Progressive Education in Vienna at age 18 , in 1923 . In 1924 she entered Nonnberg Abbey , a Benedictine monastery in Salzburg , as a postulant , intending to become a nun . Marriage ( edit ) Georg von Trapp on the bridge of a U-5 of the Austro - Hungarian Navy ( 1915 ) . In 1926 , while still a schoolteacher at the abbey , Maria was asked to teach one of the seven children of widowed naval commander Georg von Trapp . His wife , Agatha Whitehead , had died in 1922 from scarlet fever . Eventually , Maria began to look after the other children as well ( Rupert , Agathe , Maria Franziska , Werner , Hedwig , Johanna , and Martina . ) Georg von Trapp , seeing how much she cared about his children , asked Maria to marry him , although he was 25 years her senior . Frightened , she fled back to Nonnberg Abbey to seek guidance from the Mother Abbess . The Mother Abbess advised Maria that it was God 's will that she should marry the Captain ; since Maria was taught always to follow God 's will , she returned to the family and told the Captain she would marry him . She later wrote in her autobiography that on her wedding day she was blazing mad , both at God and at her husband , because what she really wanted was to be a nun : `` I really and truly was not in love . I liked him but did n't love him . However , I loved the children , so in a way I really married the children . I learned to love him more than I have ever loved before or after . '' Maria and Georg married on 26 November 1927 . They had three children together : Rosmarie ( born 1928 or 1929 ) , Eleonore ( `` Lorli '' ) ( born 1931 ) , and Johannes ( born 1939 ) , who were the others ' half - sisters and half - brother . A discrepancy exists for the birth date of their oldest child , Rosmarie . In 1944 , Maria , in her Declaration of Intention for naturalization , gave the date of the marriage as 26 November 1927 and the date of her first child 's birth as 8 February 1928 . This would indicate she was pregnant at the time of their marriage , and she gave birth only 2 months and 14 days after her marriage . She confirmed both the marriage and birthdate in her Petition for Naturalization in 1948 . The Trapp family disputes the 1928 year of birth , and Maria used the year 1929 in her book . Photos from Maria and Georg 's wedding ( 3rd photo page between pages 96 and 97 in Maria , by Maria von Trapp ) show no evidence of a late - term pregnancy at that date . When the family visited the United States on 27 September 1939 , the ship manifest lists Rosmarie as 10 , not 11 , years old . Financial problems ( edit ) In 1935 , the Trapps faced financial ruin . Georg had transferred his savings , held until then by a bank in London , to an Austrian bank run by a friend , Frau Lammer . Austria was at the time experiencing economic difficulties during a worldwide depression , because of the Crash of 1929 . Lammer 's bank failed , and the family faced a financial emergency . To survive , the Trapps sent away most of their servants , moved into the top floor of their home , and rented out the other rooms . The Archbishop sent Father Franz Wasner to stay with them as their chaplain , and thus began their singing career . Early musical career and departure from Austria ( edit ) Soprano Lotte Lehmann heard the family sing , and she suggested they perform at concerts . When the Austrian Chancellor Kurt Schuschnigg heard them on the radio , he invited them to perform in Vienna . After performing at a festival in 1935 , they became a popular touring act . They experienced life under the Nazis after the annexation of Austria by Germany in March 1938 . Life became increasingly difficult as they witnessed hostility towards Jewish children by their classmates , the use of children against their parents , the advocacy of abortion both by Maria 's doctor and by her son 's school , and finally by the induction of Georg into the German Navy . They visited Munich in the summer of 1938 and encountered Hitler at a restaurant . In September , the family left Austria and traveled to Italy , then to England and finally the United States . The Nazis made use of their abandoned home as Heinrich Himmler 's headquarters . Initially calling themselves the `` Trapp Family Choir '' , the von Trapps began to perform in the United States and Canada . They performed in New York City at The Town Hall on 10 December 1938 . The New York Times wrote : There was something unusually lovable and appealing about the modest , serious singers of this little family aggregation as they formed a close semicircle about their self - effacing director for their initial offering , the handsome Mme . von Trapp in simple black , and the youthful sisters garbed in black and white Austrian folk costumes enlivened with red ribbons . It was only natural to expect work of exceeding refinement from them , and one was not disappointed in this . Trapp Family Singers preparing for a concert in Boston in 1941 . Charles Wagner was their first booking agent , then they signed on with Frederick Christian Schang . Thinking the name `` Trapp Family Choir '' too churchy , Schang Americanized their repertoire and , following his suggestion , the group changed its name to the `` Trapp Family Singers '' . The family , which by then included ten children , was soon touring the world giving concert performances . Alix Williamson served as the group 's publicist for over two decades . After the war , they founded the Trapp Family Austrian Relief fund , which sent food and clothing to people impoverished in Austria . Move to the United States ( edit ) Maria von Trapp 's certificate of arrival into Niagara Falls , New York , on 30 December 1942 In the 1940s , the family moved to Stowe , Vermont , where they ran a music camp when they were not touring . In 1944 , Maria and her stepdaughters , Johanna , Martina , Maria , Hedwig , and Agathe applied for U.S. citizenship . Georg never applied to become a citizen . Rupert and Werner became citizens by serving during World War II . Rosmarie and Eleonore became citizens by virtue of their mother 's citizenship . Johannes was born in the United States in Philadelphia on September 1939 , during a concert tour . Georg von Trapp died in 1947 in Vermont after suffering lung cancer . The family made a series of 78 - rpm records for RCA Victor in the 1950s , some of which were later issued on RCA Camden LPs . There were also a few later recordings released on LPs , including some stereo sessions . In 1957 , the Trapp Family Singers disbanded and went their separate ways . Maria and three of her children became missionaries in Papua New Guinea . In 1965 , Maria had moved back to Vermont to manage the Trapp Family Lodge , which had been named Cor Unum . Maria began turning over management of the Lodge to her son , Johannes , although she was initially reluctant to do so . Death ( edit ) Maria von Trapp died of heart failure on 28 March 1987 ( age 82 ) , in Morrisville , Vermont , three days following surgery .

the real story of the von trapp family book
[ "Maria Augusta von Trapp (née Kutschera; 26 January 1905 – 28 March 1987), also known as Baroness von Trapp,[1][2] was the stepmother and matriarch of the Trapp Family Singers.[3][4] She wrote The Story of the Trapp Family Singers which was published in 1949. The story served as the inspiration for the 1956 West German film The Trapp Family, which in turn inspired the Broadway musical The Sound of Music (1959) and the 1965 film of the same name.[5][6]" ]

Perfect season
Perfect season - wikipedia Perfect season Jump to : navigation , search A perfect season is a sports season including any requisite playoff portion , in which a team remains and finishes undefeated and untied . The feat is extremely rare at the professional level of any team sport , and has occurred more commonly at the collegiate and scholastic levels in the United States . A perfect regular season ( known by other names outside the United States of America ) is a season excluding any playoffs , where a team remains undefeated and untied ; it is less rare than a complete perfect season but still exceptional . A perfect season may be part of a multi-season winning streak . Exhibition games are generally not counted toward standings , for or against . For example , the 1972 Miami Dolphins ( below ) lost three of their preseason ( `` exhibition '' games in 1972 NFL vernacular ) games but are considered to have had a perfect season .

The Dolphins briefly extended their winning streak before losing to the Oakland Raiders on September 23 , 1973 . It has often been reported that the surviving members of the 1972 Dolphins would , every season , either gather to drink champagne when the final undefeated team earned its first loss of the year , or send a case of champagne to the team who beat this final undefeated team . The head coach of the 1972 Dolphins , Don Shula , denied this in a 2007 interview with ESPN . On August 20 , 2013 , four decades after their accomplishment , President Barack Obama hosted the 1972 Dolphins noting that they `` never got their White House visit '' . NFL undefeated seasons ( with ties ) prior to 1932 ( edit ) Prior to the development of a playoff system in the NFL in 1932 , there were four teams who completed seasons undefeated , but with one or more tied games : the 1920 Akron Pros , the 1922 Canton Bulldogs , the 1923 Canton Bulldogs , and the 1929 Green Bay Packers . According to the 2012 NFL Record & Fact Book , under NFL practices at the time , from 1920 to 1971 tie games were not included in winning percentage ( there was also no overtime to settle ties in the regular season until 1974 ) so , these four teams were recorded with perfect win percentages of 1.000 . The 1921 Buffalo All - Americans were controversially denied a similar type of near - undefeated season , when they believed that their final game , a 10 - 7 loss to the Chicago Staleys , was an exhibition game which would not count in the final standings ; the NFL records that game as official , and Buffalo 's record as 9 -- 1 -- 2 . Team Wins Losses Ties Other 1920 Akron Pros season 8 0 1 game canceled 1922 Canton Bulldogs season 10 0 - 1923 Canton Bulldogs season 11 0 - 1929 Green Bay Packers season 12 0 - Other NFL perfect regular seasons ( edit ) Main articles : 1934 Chicago Bears season , 1942 Chicago Bears season , and 2007 New England Patriots season Apart from the 1972 Dolphins , three NFL teams have completed undefeated and untied regular seasons : the 1934 Chicago Bears , the 1942 Chicago Bears , and the 2007 New England Patriots . In 1934 , the Bears played a 13 -- 0 -- 0 regular season and became the first NFL team to complete an undefeated regular season without tied games , but lost the 1934 NFL Championship Game against the New York Giants . Despite losing several players and head coach George Halas to military service in World War II , the 1942 Bears finished 11 -- 0 -- 0 but again lost the NFL Championship Game , this time against the Washington Redskins . The 2007 Patriots became the first team after the NFL expanded its regular season to sixteen games in 1978 to finish the regular season undefeated . The Patriots then won their divisional and conference playoff games , but were upset by the New York Giants in Super Bowl XLII , giving them a final record of 18 -- 1 . Team Wins Losses Playoff results Final result 1934 Chicago Bears season 13 0 Lost NFL Championship Game against New York Giants 13 -- 1 1942 Chicago Bears season 11 0 Lost NFL Championship Game against Washington Redskins 11 -- 1 1972 Miami Dolphins season 14 0 Won three playoff games including Super Bowl VII 17 -- 0 2007 New England Patriots season 16 0 Won two playoff games before losing in Super Bowl XLII against New York Giants 18 -- 1 Pre-nfl era and competing leagues ( edit ) NFL predecessors such as the Ohio League , New York Pro Football League and Western Pennsylvania Professional Football Circuit had many perfect seasons . In Ohio , the Massillon Tigers ( 1904 , 1905 ) , Akron Indians ( 1909 ) , Shelby Blues ( 1911 ) , and Dayton Triangles ( 1918 ) all had perfect seasons during this era . In New York , the Buffalo Niagaras went 5 -- 0 -- 0 ( 6 -- 0 -- 0 including a forfeit ) in a league that consisted of teams entirely from the city of Buffalo in 1918 . In 1920 , the Union Club of Phoenixville , located in eastern Pennsylvania , played in a league mostly consisting of local teams and earned a perfect season , claiming for itself a mythical national championship . In western Pennsylvania , the 1900 and 1901 Homestead Library and Athletic Club teams , as well as the 1903 Franklin Athletic Club , all had perfect seasons . The caliber of talent was neither as high nor as consistent between teams at the time , the seasons were generally shorter ( 7 to 11 games ) , and it was not uncommon for top teams to play all their games at home while lesser teams played all of their games on the road . In 1918 , Dayton and Buffalo had the additional advantage of having its strongest competitors suspend operations due to the Spanish flu and the First World War , restrictions that also prevented the two teams from playing each other . Thus , it was much easier to earn a perfect season than it would become in the NFL . 1937 Los Angeles Bulldogs ( edit ) The Los Angeles Bulldogs were a member of the second American Football League , who joined the league in 1937 after the Cleveland Rams defected to the NFL . Playing a combination of AFL teams and independent franchises ( such as the Providence Steam Roller and the Salinas Packers ) , the team went 16 -- 0 , with 8 of those wins coming against AFL teams . The Bulldogs ' dominance is cited as one of the key factors in the AFL 's demise , and the next season as an independent with a 10 -- 2 -- 2 record including a 2 -- 1 -- 2 record against NFL teams , several of the team 's players were invited to play on the `` Pro All Stars '' team in the NFL 's first Pro All - Star Game in Los Angeles . The Bulldogs are considered to be one of the few independent teams to have ever achieved parity with the NFL . 1948 Cleveland Browns ( edit ) The Browns were a member of the All - America Football Conference , a professional football league that played from 1946 to 1949 . In 1948 , the Browns won all fourteen regular season games and the 1948 AAFC championship to post a 15 -- 0 -- 0 record . Cleveland 's perfect 1948 season was part of a longer string of 29 straight wins , which stretched from 1947 to 1949 and included both the 1947 and 1948 title games . Overall , the Browns won all four AAFC championship games and were accepted into the NFL when the two leagues merged after the 1949 season . Neither the NFL nor the Pro Football Hall of Fame recognizes the Bulldogs ' perfect season ; the Hall of Fame recognizes the Browns ' perfect season but the NFL does not . Close to perfect ( edit ) Since the NFL expanded to a fourteen - game regular season in 1961 , eleven teams have had regular seasons with one loss and no ties ( or better ) while failing to achieve a perfect season : Team Wins Losses Playoff results Final result 1962 Green Bay Packers 13 Won NFL Championship Game 14 -- 1 1967 Oakland Raiders 13 Won AFL Championship Game before losing Super Bowl II 14 -- 2 1968 Baltimore Colts 13 Won two playoff games before losing Super Bowl III 15 -- 2 1976 Oakland Raiders 13 Won three playoff games including Super Bowl XI 16 -- 1 1984 San Francisco 49ers 15 Won three playoff games including Super Bowl XIX 18 -- 1 1985 Chicago Bears 15 Won three playoff games including Super Bowl XX 18 -- 1 1998 Minnesota Vikings 15 Won one playoff game before losing NFC Championship Game 16 -- 2 2004 Pittsburgh Steelers 15 Won one playoff game before losing AFC Championship Game 16 -- 2 2007 New England Patriots 16 0 Won two playoff games before losing Super Bowl XLII 18 -- 1 2011 Green Bay Packers 15 Lost divisional round game after wild card round bye 15 -- 2 2015 Carolina Panthers 15 Won two playoff games before losing Super Bowl 50 17 -- 2 Most of these teams suffered their regular - season loss early in the year and , other than the 2007 Patriots ( finished regular season 16 -- 0 ) , only the 1962 Packers ( 10 -- 0 ) , 1985 Bears ( 12 -- 0 ) , 2011 Packers ( 13 -- 0 ) , and 2015 Panthers ( 14 -- 0 ) were on track for a perfect season when they lost . Coincidentally , the 1985 Bears ' lone loss came to the Miami Dolphins . The best start from an NFL team who failed to complete a perfect regular season is shared by two teams : the 2009 Indianapolis Colts , who started 14 -- 0 before losing their final two regular season games to the New York Jets and the Buffalo Bills to finish 14 -- 2 , and the 2015 Carolina Panthers , who went 14 -- 0 before losing to the Atlanta Falcons and going on to finish the regular season 15 -- 1 . The 2009 Colts , having clinched the top seed in the AFC , sacrificed their chances at a perfect regular season and instead rested their starters the final two games to protect them for the playoffs . The Colts would go on to Super Bowl XLIV but lost to the New Orleans Saints . The 2015 Panthers were not resting their starters at the time of their loss ( at the time , the Arizona Cardinals were 13 -- 2 and still had an opportunity to surpass the Panthers for the top seed in the NFC ) . Four other teams have started 13 -- 0 before losing their fourteenth game : the 1998 Denver Broncos , 2005 Indianapolis Colts , 2009 New Orleans Saints and 2011 Green Bay Packers ( Of those near - perfect seasons , the 2011 Packers are the only team that did not win a single playoff game ) . The 1998 Broncos , 2005 Colts and 2009 Saints lost at least two of their final three games but the Broncos and Saints recovered to win the Super Bowl . The 1953 Cleveland Browns and 1969 Los Angeles Rams started 11 -- 0 in twelve - and fourteen - game seasons respectively ; both lost their only playoff game . Other leagues ( edit ) The following is a list of teams in minor or alternate leagues that compiled perfect seasons of six games or more , including postseason games , with no ties : The Hollywood Bears , a member of the Pacific Coast Professional Football League , went 8 -- 0 -- 0 in 1941 . The Hollywood Rangers were a member of the American Football League of 1944 ( formerly the Northwest War Industries League ) , a short - lived competitor to the Pacific Coast Professional Football League on the West Coast . In their 1944 season , they went 11 -- 0 -- 0 and defeated the PCPFL champion San Diego Bombers ( who had also had a perfect season in their league , going 9 -- 0 -- 0 ) in a two - game series . The Charleston Rockets of the Continental Football League won all 14 games of the league 's inaugural season in 1965 , going on to defeat the Toronto Rifles in the league 's championship . The Hartford Knights went 17 -- 0 -- 0 in 1972 as a member of the Seaboard Football League , including a victory over the Chambersburg Cardinals in the league 's championship . The Knights , unhappy with the level of competition ( many of the Knights games had margins of victory of 40 points or more ) , quit the league the following year . In indoor football , the following teams have had perfect seasons : The Quad City Steamwheelers went undefeated in the inaugural season of arenafootball2 , accruing a record of 19 -- 0 -- 0 including playoffs and an ArenaCup I win . The Ohio Valley Greyhounds of the National Indoor Football League accrued a perfect season in 2003 . The Sioux Falls Storm of United Indoor Football won back - to - back perfect seasons in 2006 and 2007 , winning the United Bowl championship both years . The Fayetteville Guard won a perfect season in 2007 in the NIFL . The Rochester Raiders won a perfect season in 2008 in the Continental Indoor Football League , but withdrew from that league during the playoffs in a dispute . The Baltimore Mariners won a perfect season in 2010 in the American Indoor Football Association . The Erie Explosion won a perfect season in 2013 in the Continental Indoor Football league , winning all ten regular season games , a semifinal playoff , and the CIFL Championship . At least twenty - three other semi-professional football teams have had perfect seasons , seven of them being at least 17 games long . The Chambersburg Cardinals won a record 72 straight games between 1977 and 1984 . There have been no perfect seasons ( or even perfect regular seasons ) in the American Association , World Football League , United States Football League , XFL , or , to date , the Arena Football League . The United Football League has had two perfect regular seasons , but neither qualify for the list : the 2009 Florida Tuskers finished 6 -- 0 , but that team lost the subsequent championship game ; the 2012 Las Vegas Locomotives had a record of 4 -- 0 when the league abruptly suspended operations halfway through the season . The 1933 Providence Huskies ( possibly a successor to the Providence Steam Roller ) played arguably the most perfect season ever recorded by a professional or semi-professional team : a ten - game season in which they won every game and did not concede a single point during any game . Leagues outside North America ( edit ) In the 2014 German Football League the Braunschweig Lions compiled a perfect season ( 12 - 0 postseason 3 - 0 ) , losing only in the BIG6 European Football League which is a different competition . They crowned the season with another German Bowl triumph . Similarly in the 2016 German Football League the Schwäbisch Hall Unicorns achieved a perfect regular season with a 14 - 0 record , similarly their lone defeat came in the BIG6 European Football League which is not considered for league standings . However , unlike Braunschweig before them , Hall ultimately lost the German Bowl , in this case to Braunschweig . Canadian Football ( edit ) A true perfect season ( no losses and no ties through the regular season and playoffs ) has never been achieved in professional Canadian football . Only one team , the 1948 Calgary Stampeders , has completed a perfect regular season . The current Canadian Football League schedule would require a team to win 20 games ( 18 regular season , 1 playoff after bye week , and the Grey Cup championship ) to post a perfect record . 1948 Calgary Stampeders ( edit ) Under head coach Les Lear , the 1948 Calgary Stampeders completed a perfect regular season with a record of 12 -- 0 ; they had two wins and a tie during the playoffs to finish with a record of 14 -- 0 -- 1 , the only undefeated complete season in Canadian pro history . In the Western Interprovincial Football Union championship ( a home - and - home aggregate series decided on total points ) against the Regina Roughriders , the first leg was tied 4 -- 4 , and the Stampeders won the second 21 -- 10 , to win the aggregate 25 -- 14 . The Stampeders then defeated the Ottawa Rough Riders 12 -- 7 for the 36th Grey Cup . Despite the Stampeders ' title , their achievement was only lightly regarded in the East . At the time , the Eastern and Western unions played separate regular seasons and only met in the Grey Cup . The Western union was openly regarded to be a weaker competition in the East , and Calgary 's win ( only the third for a Western team up to that time ) was dismissed as a fluke . Lacrosse ( edit ) In professional lacrosse , the 1993 Buffalo Bandits are the only team to have won a perfect season in the National Lacrosse League . The Bandits won all ten of their regular season games and won the championship in a two - round tournament ; the season was the continuation of a multi-season winning streak that dated to the Bandits ' successful run for the previous year 's championship . In Major League Lacrosse , which began play in 2001 , the 2013 Denver Outlaws were the first team to complete a perfect regular season , winning all fourteen of their games . After beating the Hamilton Nationals , the Outlaws had a sequence of twenty consecutive regular season wins despite losing the 2012 championship . However , the Outlaws lost in the first round of the playoffs to the Charlotte Hounds , who had only gone 7 -- 7 in the regular season . Other North American professional sports leagues ( edit ) In North America 's three other major professional sports leagues ( Major League Baseball , the National Basketball Association , and the National Hockey League ) it is almost impossible for a team to play a `` perfect '' season , primarily because there are substantially more games in the regular season ( 82 in the NBA and NHL , and 162 in Major League Baseball ) . The Women 's National Basketball Association 's season has been between 28 and 34 games long , and it too has never produced a perfect season . It is possible for a baseball pitcher to achieve a perfect season , taking at least one win and any number of no - decisions throughout the year . This has happened 1813 times in baseball 's history , though the majority ( 1171 ) were 1 -- 0 seasons , mostly by relief pitchers . The best perfect season belongs to Tom Zachary of the 1929 New York Yankees , who posted a 12 -- 0 record in 119.2 innings . No pitcher has ever achieved a perfect season while qualifying for the ERA title . In the NBA , the 1985 -- 86 Boston Celtics played a nearly perfect home season . During the regular season , they were 40 -- 1 (. 976 ) in front of their home crowd . The Celtics ' only regular - season home loss occurred on December 6 , 1985 , to the Portland Trail Blazers , by the score of 121 -- 103 . The Celtics would also win all 10 of their home games in the postseason , to finish 50 -- 1 at home . The 2015 -- 16 San Antonio Spurs also played a nearly perfect home regular - season with a 40 - 1 (. 976 ) record in front of their home crowd , with their only home loss occurring on April 10 , 2016 vs. the Golden State Warriors by the score of 92 - 86 . The Spurs were eliminated in the Western Conference Semi-Finals by the Oklahoma City Thunder in the 2016 NBA Playoffs . The Spurs played a total of 5 home games in the post season , finishing 43 - 3 at home , losing twice to the Thunder . The three - on - three basketball league BIG3 , which featured an eight - game regular season and two - round playoff , had a perfect team in its inaugural season when Trilogy swept all ten games on their schedule . Individual professional sports ( edit ) For other sports leagues for individuals , such as the PGA Tour or NASCAR , a perfect season would represent winning every event in a season . Considering the number of tournaments or races in those leagues , and the fact that each individual faces over 40 opponents as opposed to one , a perfect season is almost impossible . Golf instead considers the Grand Slam , a sweep of the four men 's major golf championships deemed to be the most difficult contests in professional golf , to be analogous to perfection . The only time the Grand Slam has been swept in any given year was 1930 , when Bobby Jones won all four majors ( at the time , The ( British ) Amateur Championship and U.S. Amateur were still considered majors ) ; since 1934 , when The Masters was added as a major , no player has won all four in one year . Tiger Woods is the only professional golfer to win four consecutive professional majors ; he did so over two years in 2000 and 2001 . The record for most consecutive wins in professional golf is 11 , set Byron Nelson in 1945 ; Nelson would win 18 tournaments overall that year , a year when wartime manpower shortages were still limiting the number and quality of professional golfers for Nelson to compete against . In Formula One , Michael Schumacher was the 2004 champion with 13 wins in 18 races . In IndyCar , A.J. Foyt won 10 out of 13 races . In NASCAR , Richard `` The King '' Petty holds most of the records for most wins in a season ; he won 27 races out of 48 appearances in 1967 , 10 of them consecutive . Since a format change in 1972 , Petty also holds the modern - era record for most wins in a season , with 13 , a record he shares with Jeff Gordon . Professional motorcycle racer Ricky Carmichael had perfect seasons in 2002 and 2004 . In 1997 , road racer Tommy Kendall started the 13 - race SCCA Trans - Am Series season 11 -- 0 , the longest documentable win streak in worldwide professional road racing . In the 12th race , he was battling for the lead on the final lap , but spun out and finished second . The feat would be extremely difficult in NASCAR , because of the length of the season ( currently 36 races ) . American collegiate sports ( edit ) NAIA Football ( edit ) In 1966 Waynesburg College went 11 -- 0 after a 9 -- 0 regular season record . In December 1966 Waynesburg defeated New Mexico Highlands in Albuquerque , New Mexico in the playoff game , and , defeated Whitewater Wisconsin in the NAIA Champion Bowl at Tulsa Oklahoma . This was , and still is a college football rarity . Very few college football teams have won a College National Football Championship ( including playoff games ) with an undefeated record . NCAA Football ( edit ) Main article : List of undefeated NCAA Division I football teams Due to relatively short seasons through most of college football history , the list of undefeated Division I football teams includes dozens of teams . The highest level of college football , the Division I Football Bowl Subdivision ( introduced as Division I-A in 1978 ) , did not use a playoff to determine a champion prior to the introduction of the four - team College Football Playoff ( CFP ) in 2014 . The system replaced by the CFP relied on a combination of polls and computer rankings to choose two teams to play one title game in a system known as the Bowl Championship Series . Prior to 1992 , no attempt was made to match up the top two teams in a championship game , further increasing the chances of multiple teams achieving a perfect season . The record for most wins in an undefeated FBS season is 14 -- 0 , accomplished in 2002 by Ohio State , twice in 2009 by Boise State and Alabama , in 2010 by Auburn , and in 2013 by Florida State . The University of Washington 's FBS record 64 - game unbeaten streak included five straight perfect seasons from 1909 -- 13 . The University of Oklahoma 's FBS record 47 game winning streak included three straight perfect seasons from 1954 -- 56 . NCAA Division I Basketball ( edit ) Men ( edit ) Before the establishment of the National Invitation Tournament in 1938 and the NCAA Division I Men 's Basketball Tournament in 1939 , perfect seasons were more common ; each season consisted of fewer games and top teams from different parts of the country might never meet . Eight teams have completed perfect seasons , including postseason tournament victories , since the tournament era began in 1938 : 1939 LIU Blackbirds ( 24 -- 0 ) -- NIT champion , which at the time was more prestigious than the NCAA tournament 1956 San Francisco Dons ( 29 -- 0 ) -- NCAA champion 1957 North Carolina Tar Heels ( 32 -- 0 ) -- NCAA champion 1964 UCLA Bruins ( 30 -- 0 ) -- NCAA champion 1967 UCLA Bruins ( 30 -- 0 ) -- NCAA champion 1972 UCLA Bruins ( 30 -- 0 ) -- NCAA champion 1973 UCLA Bruins ( 30 -- 0 ) -- NCAA champion 1976 Indiana Hoosiers ( 32 -- 0 ) -- NCAA champion In addition , four other teams in the tournament era had unbeaten records , but did not play in any postseason tournament : 1940 Seton Hall Pirates ( 19 -- 0 ) -- not invited to either the NCAA Tournament or NIT . 1944 Army Cadets ( 15 -- 0 ) -- not invited to either the NCAA Tournament or NIT . ( Given that this season was during World War II , it is also possible that Army chose to turn down tournament invitations . ) 1954 Kentucky Wildcats ( 25 -- 0 ) -- declined a bid to the NCAA Tournament due to an NCAA ruling that graduate students could not compete . 1973 NC State Wolfpack ( 27 -- 0 ) -- ineligible for postseason competition due to rule violations earlier that season . The UCLA Bruins are the only team to have back - to - back perfect seasons ( 1971 -- 1972 , 1972 -- 1973 ) , and all four of the school 's perfect seasons were under Hall of Fame head coach John Wooden . The following teams completed a perfect regular season , but lost in the NCAA Tournament or other postseason action : 1939 Loyola Ramblers ( finished regular season 20 -- 0 and lost in the NIT final to LIU to finish 21 -- 1 ) 1941 Seton Hall Pirates ( finished regular season 19 -- 0 ; lost in the NIT semifinals to LIU and third - place game to CCNY to finish 20 -- 2 ) 1951 Columbia Lions ( finished 21 -- 1 after losing in the first round ) 1961 Ohio State Buckeyes ( finished 27 -- 1 after losing in the championship game to Cincinnati ) 1968 Houston Cougars ( finished regular season 28 -- 0 , then lost the semifinal and consolation games at the Final Four ) 1968 St. Bonaventure Bonnies ( finished regular season 22 -- 0 , lost in regional semifinals ) 1971 Penn Quakers ( finished the regular season 26 -- 0 , lost in the regional finals ) 1971 Marquette Warriors ( finished regular season 26 -- 0 , lost in regional semifinals ) 1975 Indiana Hoosiers ( finished regular season 29 -- 0 , but lost to Kentucky in the Mideast Regional final ) 1976 Rutgers Scarlet Knights ( finished regular season 28 -- 0 , won 3 more games in the NCAA Tournament to go to 31 -- 0 , but lost in the Final Four to Michigan and in the consolation game to UCLA ) 1979 Indiana State Sycamores ( finished regular season 29 -- 0 , but lost in the championship game to Michigan State . Finished 33 -- 1 . ) 1979 Alcorn State Braves finished the regular season with a perfect 27 -- 0 record , but were not invited to the NCAA Tournament . The Braves lost in the second round of the National Invitation Tournament to Indiana . 1991 UNLV Runnin ' Rebels ( entered the tournament 30 -- 0 , lost in the Final Four to eventual champion Duke . Finished 34 -- 1 . ) 2004 Saint Joseph 's Hawks ( finished the regular season 27 -- 0 , lost to Xavier in the quarterfinals of the 2004 Atlantic 10 Men 's Basketball Tournament . Finished 30 -- 2 after losing to Oklahoma State in the NCAA East Regional final . ) 2014 Wichita State Shockers ( entered the tournament 34 -- 0 , lost to eventual runner - up Kentucky in the Round of 32 . Finished 35 -- 1 . ) 2015 Kentucky Wildcats ( entered the tournament 34 -- 0 , lost to Wisconsin in the Final Four . Finished 38 -- 1 . ) Women ( edit ) In the women 's game , the following national championship teams have had perfect records since the AIAW began sponsoring a championship tournament in 1972 ( which was followed by the NCAA tournament in 1982 ) : 1973 Immaculata Mighty Macs ( 20 -- 0 ) 1975 Delta State Lady Statesmen ( 28 -- 0 ) 1981 Louisiana Tech Lady Techsters ( 34 -- 0 ) 1986 Texas Longhorns ( 34 -- 0 ) 1995 Connecticut Huskies ( 35 -- 0 ) 1998 Tennessee Lady Vols ( 39 -- 0 ) 2002 Connecticut Huskies ( 39 -- 0 ) 2009 Connecticut Huskies ( 39 -- 0 ) 2010 Connecticut Huskies ( 39 -- 0 ) 2012 Baylor Lady Bears ( 40 -- 0 ) 2014 Connecticut Huskies ( 40 -- 0 ) 2016 Connecticut Huskies ( 38 -- 0 ) The following teams completed perfect regular seasons , but lost in the NCAA Tournament or other postseason action : The 1983 Oral Roberts Lady Titans ( now nicknamed Golden Eagles ) finished the regular season 24 -- 0 , but were not invited to the NCAA Tournament . They played in the National Women 's Invitational Tournament , losing to Memphis State ( now known as Memphis ) in the second round . After winning a consolation game against Weber State , they finished the season 26 -- 1 . The 1990 Louisiana Tech Lady Techsters entered the NCAA Tournament at 28 -- 0 , but lost in the Final Four to Auburn to finish 32 -- 1 . The Vermont Catamounts were unbeaten entering the NCAA Tournament in both 1992 ( 29 -- 0 ) and 1993 ( 28 -- 0 ) . They lost in the first round to George Washington in 1992 and Rutgers in 1993 . The 1997 Connecticut Huskies entered the NCAA Tournament at 30 -- 0 , but lost in the final of the Midwest Regional to eventual national champion Tennessee , finishing 33 -- 1 . The 1998 Liberty Lady Flames entered the NCAA Tournament 28 -- 0 , but were seeded # 16 in the Mideast Region and matched against Tennessee , with the Lady Vols crushing the Lady Flames 102 -- 58 . The 2003 Connecticut Huskies finished the regular season at 29 -- 0 , but lost to Villanova in the final of the Big East Tournament , ending their then - record winning streak at 70 games . The Huskies went on to win the NCAA Tournament , finishing 37 -- 1 . The 2007 Duke Blue Devils finished the regular season at 29 -- 0 , but lost in the semifinals of the ACC Tournament to North Carolina State . In the NCAA Tournament , they lost in the semifinals of the Greensboro Regional to Rutgers to finish 32 -- 2 . The 2010 Nebraska Cornhuskers finished the regular season at 29 -- 0 , but lost in the semifinals of the Big 12 Tournament to Texas A&M . In the NCAA Tournament , they lost in the semifinals of the Kansas City Regional to Kentucky to finish 32 -- 2 . The 2014 Notre Dame Fighting Irish entered the NCAA Tournament at 32 -- 0 and lost in the championship game to Connecticut , finishing 37 -- 1 . The 2015 Princeton Tigers entered the NCAA Tournament at 30 -- 0 and lost in the second round to Maryland to finish 31 -- 1 . The 2017 Connecticut Huskies entered the NCAA Tournament at 32 -- 0 and lost in the national semifinals to Mississippi State to finish 36 -- 1 . Notably , the 2015 -- 16 season saw all three NCAA women 's champions finish with unbeaten seasons . In Division II , Lubbock Christian went 34 -- 0 . In Division III , Thomas More went 33 -- 0 for the second straight season . NCAA ice Hockey ( edit ) Among schools in the top level of men 's ice hockey , the 1969 -- 70 Cornell Big Red went 29 -- 0 -- 0 in the University Division ( the predecessor to today 's Division I ) en route to a national championship . Since Cornell 's 29 - 0 - 0 season in 1969 -- 70 , the closest Division I Men 's Ice Hockey Team to having a perfect season was the 1992 -- 93 Maine Black Bears , who finished that year at 42 - 1 - 2 , including a national title game victory against Lake Superior State . Their only loss came on February 19 , 1993 , against Boston University , where they lost 7 - 6 in overtime , and their only ties were on October 24 against Providence , 3 - 3 , and on January 15 against Clarkson , 4 - 4 . The last men 's team to finish unbeaten and untied and be national champions was the 1983 -- 84 Bemidji State Beavers ( 31 - 0 - 0 ) , who were then competing in Division II , a level of competition that no longer conducts a championship . The 1955 -- 56 Clarkson Golden Knights were undefeated and untied ( 23 -- 0 -- 0 ) , but skipped the NCAA tournament because as the team had seniors with four years of college play which was against NCAA tournament rules at the time ( not regular season rules ) . The 1967 -- 68 Iona Gaels went 16 - 0 - 0 in their inaugural season as an independent in Division III , but did not participate in a national championship as none existed for Division III at that time . The most recent unbeaten and untied season in NCAA ice hockey at the highest level was in 2012 -- 13 when the Minnesota Golden Gophers became the first NCAA women 's team ever to accomplish the feat ( 41 -- 0 -- 0 ) . Acha Hockey ( edit ) The 2007 -- 08 University of Illinois Fighting Illini , a club team , are the only American Collegiate Hockey Association team to record a perfect season with a record of 38 -- 0 -- 0 . Canadian collegiate sports ( edit ) U sports Canadian Football ( edit ) 1975 University of Ottawa Gee Gees ( edit ) In 1975 the number - one - ranked University of Ottawa Gee Gees had the first Canadian Interuniversity Sport ( now U Sports ) undefeated season . After completing their perfect regular season at 8 -- 0 , the Gees Gees won their first play - off defeating the number - two - ranked Toronto Varsity Blues 14 -- 7 . The Gees Gees then demolished the Windsor Lancers 45 -- 6 to win the Yates Cup and the right to play for the national championship and the Vanier Cup . The undefeated season was completed on November 21 , 1975 , when the Gee Gees defeated the University of Calgary Dinos 14 -- 9 at CNE Stadium in Toronto . That night the Gee Gees became the first undefeated team in CIS and Vanier Cup history . The 1975 Gees Gees roster had a big impact on the CFL . Gee Gee Players from the 1975 team played in the CFL for a cumulative total of 96 years and throughout their professional careers in the CFL accomplished : one Canadian Football Hall of Fame Inductee , one Grey Cup Canadian MVP , two Frank M. Gibson Trophies for Outstanding Rookie Eastern Division , two CFL Leo Dandurand Trophy Outstanding Lineman Eastern Division , twenty CFL and Divisional All - Star Selections , twenty - three Grey Cup Appearances and a total of twelve Grey Cup rings . 2003 , 2005 Saskatchewan Huskies ( edit ) In 2003 and 2005 , the Saskatchewan Huskies completed perfect regular seasons . However , in both years they lost in the playoffs : in the Vanier Cup to the Laurier Golden Hawks in 2005 , and in The Canada West Semi-Final To Alberta Golden Bears in 2003 . 2007 Manitoba Bisons ( edit ) A perfect season was attained in 2007 by the Manitoba Bisons , the football squad representing the University of Manitoba , located in Winnipeg . The Bisons were undefeated in Canada West Universities Athletic Association play during the 8 - game schedule . In the playoffs , Manitoba comfortably handled the Calgary Dinos 27 -- 5 in the opening round . The Bisons followed up with a 48 -- 5 defeat of the Regina Rams in the Hardy Trophy and a strong 52 -- 20 showing against the perennial contenders from the University of Western Ontario , the Western Ontario Mustangs , in the Mitchell Bowl . On Friday , November 23 , 2007 , two days before the 95th Grey Cup game in Toronto , the Bisons defeated the Saint Mary 's University squad , known as the Saint Mary 's Huskies , 28 -- 14 to claim their first Vanier Cup championship since 1970 , and third overall title . That victory capped their perfect 12 win season . 2010 Laval Rouge et or ( edit ) In 2010 , the Laval Rouge et Or located in Quebec City , had a perfect season of 13 -- 0 . They were undefeated with an 8 -- 0 record in the QUFL . During the playoffs , they beat the Bishop 's Gaiters 56 -- 1 in the opening round . The Rouge et Or won the QUFL championship and the Dunsmore Cup by a close win of 22 -- 17 against the Sherbrooke Vert et Or . They followed with a win of 13 -- 11 against the Western Ontario Mustangs in the Uteck Bowl . Finally , on Saturday , November 27 , 2010 , in their home stadium in Quebec City , they won the Vanier Cup 29 -- 2 against the Calgary Dinos , capping a 13 -- 0 season . U sports Hockey ( edit ) Men ( edit ) The 1972 -- 73 University of Toronto Varsity Blues ( 22 -- 0 -- 0 ) are the only men 's hockey team in U Sports to win a national championship with no losses and no ties in the regular season and post season . The Varsity Blues won all 17 regular season games to place first in the Ontario University Athletics Association 's East Division . In sudden death OUAA playoff action , the U of T defeated the University of Waterloo 13 -- 2 and the University of Western Ontario 8 -- 1 . The University of Toronto downed the University of Alberta 5 -- 2 and 5 -- 3 in the University Cup semi final at Edmonton and shaded St. Mary 's University 3 -- 2 in the University Cup final at Toronto . CCAA Hockey ( edit ) Men ( edit ) The 1975 -- 76 St. Clair College Saints ( 26 -- 0 -- 0 ) of Windsor , Ontario were the first of two Canadian Colleges Athletic Association men 's hockey teams to go unbeaten and untied in the regular season and post season en route to a national title . After winning all 20 regular season games to finish atop the Ontario Colleges Athletic Association 's Western Division , St. Clair outscored Fanshawe 5 -- 2 and 6 -- 3 to win the division playoff series and advance to the conference championships where they topped Algonquin 8 -- 2 and Humber 11 -- 2 . At the CCAA Hockey National Championships in Camrose , Alberta , St. Clair downed Cape Breton 10 -- 4 in the semi final and Selkirk 11 -- 2 in the final . The 1984 -- 85 Northern Alberta Institute of Technology ( NAIT ) Ooks ( 33 -- 0 -- 0 ) of Edmonton won all 25 of their regular season games in the Alberta Colleges Athletic Conference prior to sweeping the Camrose Lutheran College Vikings in a best - of - three conference semifinal series and the Red Deer College Kings in a best - of - five conference final series . At the CCAA Hockey National Championships in Moose Jaw , Saskatchewan , NAIT outscored the Cariboo College Chiefs 8 -- 2 , the Seneca College Braves 5 -- 2 and the Victoriaville College Vulkins 9 -- 2 to hoist the CCAA Championship Bowl . Australian rules Football ( edit ) Australian Football League ( AFL ) / Victorian Football League ( VFL ) ( edit ) The VFL began in 1897 . Based entirely in the state of Victoria , before it expanded through the 1980s , and 1990s to become the top level national league ( AFL ) in the sport of Australian rules football . The length of a complete season ( including finals matches ) has typically been between 18 and 26 games . Throughout the history of the league , no team has ever completed a perfect season . One team , Collingwood in 1929 , completed a perfect home - and - away season , finishing with a record of 18 -- 0 ; the club won the premiership , but did not complete a perfect season after losing the second semi-final against Richmond . South Australian national Football League ( SANFL ) ( edit ) Main article : 1914 Port Adelaide Football Club season The SANFL has existed since 1877 within South Australia , and until the latter part of the twentieth century was of equivalent standard to the VFL . The only perfect season to be completed was by the 1914 Port Adelaide team , known as the `` Invincibles '' . Port won all four of its pre season matches . It finished the minor round with a 12 -- 0 record , before winning both finals to finish with a 14 -- 0 record and a perfect season . They also won the Championship of Australia against VFL premiers Carlton , to extend that record to 15 -- 0 . In addition to this the club played a combined team from all the other SAFL clubs and won to extend the record to 16 -- 0 . The closest any team got to Port Adelaide was North Adelaide , losing by 21 points in Round 10 . This is the only instance in The Big Three Australian football leagues ( VFL / SANFL / WAFL ) where a club has gone undefeated in the pre-season , season main and post season . In 1912 , Port Adelaide had a perfect minor round and then beat West Torrens in its semi-final but lost both the final and Grand Final to West Adelaide . West Australian Football League ( WAFL ) ( edit ) The WAFL has existed since 1885 within Western Australia , and until the latter part of the 20th century was of equivalent standard to either the VFL or SANFL . The 1946 East Fremantle team is the only club in senior WAFL football to have managed a perfect season or even a perfect home - and - away season , winning all twenty - one of its games ; it is noted that the playing lists of many of its opponents had been seriously depleted by World War II . The only loss for the season came against Collingwood in a post season match . Victorian Football Association ( VFA / VFL ) ( edit ) The Victorian Football League , known until 1996 as the Victorian Football Association , began in 1877 and was Victoria 's premier football league until 1897 , and has been the second - tier league in the state since . Perfect seasons have been completed on four occasions in VFA / VFL history : by North Melbourne during a war - shortened 1915 , with a record of 15 -- 0 by North Melbourne in 1918 , which was also shortened by the war , with a record of 12 -- 0 ; by Geelong West in 1972 Division 2 , with a record of 20 -- 0 by Port Melbourne in 2011 , with a record of 21 -- 0 . There were also cases of teams going undefeated through the season in the nineteenth century , but none completed perfect seasons because some of their matches were drawn . Of those , Geelong could be interpreted as having been perfect in 1879 ; it had a record of 15 -- 0 -- 1 , and the draw came by agreement when a match was abandoned due to inclement weather . Four other teams have completed perfect home - and - away seasons , but subsequently lost finals matches : North Melbourne in 1919 won all eighteen home - and - away games before losing to Brunswick in the second - semi-final and Footscray in the Grand Final . Coburg in 1927 won all eighteen home - and away games before drawing with Port Melbourne in the second semi final , losing the replay , then winning the Grand Final . Coburg in 1945 won all twenty home - and - away games before losing to Williamstown in the second semi-final and being eliminated by Port Melbourne in the preliminary final . Williamstown in 1957 won all twenty home - and - away games before losing to Moorabbin in the second semi final , and being eliminated by Port Melbourne in the preliminary final . Rugby League ( edit ) National Rugby League ( edit ) The National Rugby League has existed since 1908 , being originally known as the New South Wales Rugby League and before the Super League war of 1995 as the Australian Rugby League . In its history , only one team has completed a perfect season : the South Sydney Rabbitohs in 1925 , who won all twelve games contested . Five other teams have gone undefeated but featured at least one drawn match : Balmain ( 1915 ) , North Sydney ( 1921 ) , Eastern Suburbs ( 1936 and 1937 ) and St George ( 1959 ) . British Rugby League ( edit ) Whilst no rugby league team in Britain has completed the perfect season in the top flight , this has been achieved on two occasions in lower divisions , once in the 2nd division and once in the 3rd . Hull F.C. achieved this feat in the 1978 -- 79 Season , where they won 26 from 26 games , gaining promotion to the top division for the second time in three seasons . This was also achieved by the Dewsbury Rams in 2009 during their Championship 1 ( third division ) season where they won all 18 games from a possible 18 , winning promotion immediately after being relegated the previous season where they won just two games . Since their 2009 promotion , the Rams have so far stayed in the sports ' second division , including two play off finishes . Rugby Union ( edit ) International Rugby ( edit ) The New Zealand All Blacks were the first professional rugby team to produce a perfect rugby test season in 2013 . They successfully defeated France four times , Australia three times , South Africa and Argentina twice and also beat Japan , England and Ireland in their incredible winning run . They produced a record of 14 -- 0 -- 0 , defeating the top 5 ranked teams below them in the IRB world rankings . England have matched this feat after producing a perfect test season in 2016 after recovering from getting knocked out of their own World Cup in 2015 . Super Rugby ( edit ) The Southern Hemisphere 's principal team competition , Super Rugby , established as Super 12 in 1996 and later known as Super 14 before adopting its current name in 2011 , has seen only one perfect season . The Crusaders , based in Christchurch and representing a large portion of the South Island of New Zealand , finished the 2002 Super 12 season with an 11 -- 0 -- 0 record and went on to win both of their finals matches to claim the season crown unbeaten . One other team has won a championship unbeaten : in 1997 , the Auckland Blues ( known simply as `` Blues '' since 2000 ) , which at the time represented the central and southern parts of the Auckland area plus some adjacent regions to the south , finished the regular season with one draw from 11 matches . They also won both of their finals matches to claim the title . Cricket ( edit ) County cricket ( edit ) English first - class county cricket has existed as the top tier of domestic cricket in England since the middle nineteenth century , and until the 1950s it was up to the highest standard of the game . Seasons have varied in length : before the 1880s , they were generally less than ten matches in length and some `` first - class '' counties played only against one or two different opponents , so that a team winning all its games was not implausible . Between 1887 and 1929 , seasons were gradually increased in length to a standard twenty - eight matches for all counties . However , because of the development and popularity of one - day cricket , seasons have been reduced to twenty - four games in 1969 and twenty in 1972 , though this was increased by two in 1977 and 1983 . With an increase to four days for all games , sixteen or seventeen games have been played since 1993 . Also , because of improvements to pitches via the heavy roller and covering to protect from rain , the proportion of games `` drawn '' ( not finished ) has steadily risen since the 1870s . Since tables of results have been kept in 1864 , the only team to have competed a true perfect season -- winning outright every game -- was Yorkshire in 1867 when led by George Freeman 's and Tom Emmett 's deadly fast bowling on uncovered and unrolled pitches , they won all seven county games . Essex CCC achieved the feat in the Summer of 2017 , with the bowling combination of Simon Harmer and Jamie Porter doing most of the damage . Ryan Ten Doeschate captained the side , Since 1868 numerous county teams in longer schedules have finished a season unbeaten , but none have managed to win every single game outright : English First - Class County Teams with No Losses in a Season ( qualification 8 or more games ) Season Team Wins Losses Draws Remarks 1864 Surrey 6 0 Also defeated a combined England team by eight wickets 1876 Gloucestershire 5 0 W.G. Grace scored over 1,000 runs in August including the first two triple centuries in first - class cricket 1877 Gloucestershire 7 0 Defeated England by five wickets 1881 Lancashire 10 0 One match against Middlesex cancelled because Harrow Wanderers booked Lord 's 1884 Nottinghamshire 9 0 Only draw against Surrey in August Bank Holiday game saw Surrey with three wickets in hand and 153 runs to win 1886 Nottinghamshire 7 0 7 1900 Yorkshire 16 0 12 Lost only two games , both at home to Somerset between 1900 and 1902 .

There were eight teams in a double round robin format and finals . The Sydney Swifts were the only team to achieve a perfect season , winning all fourteen regular season games and both their finals matches for a record of 16 -- 0 . ANZ championship ( edit ) The ANZ Championship , the principal netball competition for Australia and New Zealand was established in 2008 to replace the Commonwealth Bank Trophy . Comprising ten teams ( five from Australia and five from New Zealand ) there has so far been one perfect season , by the Mission Queensland Firebirds , based in Brisbane , Queensland in 2011 . The Firebirds won thirteen regular season games and both their finals matches for a record of 15 -- 0 . In 2010 , the New South Wales Swifts managed to win all thirteen regular season game , but lost both of their finals matches and ended with a 13 -- 2 for that year . Association Football ( edit ) Domestic teams ( edit ) Many association football teams have also had perfect seasons , however doing so in a season of 20 or more matches is very rare . Clubs to have achieved this include : Dresdner SC of Germany in 1942 -- 43 ( 23 wins out of 23 ) , Ferencvárosi of Hungary in 1931 -- 32 ( 22 ) , Sunrise Flacq United of Mauritius in 1995 -- 96 ( 22 ) , and Nacional of Uruguay in 1941 ( 20 ) . Al - Ahly ( of Egypt ) hold the record of going a whole season being unbeaten , in all possible competitions they were involved in ( 46 matches in total played in : Egyptian Premier League , Egyptian Cup , Egyptian Super Cup and CAF Champions League between 2005 and 2006 ) . The longest winning streak of any team over multiple seasons was Sparta Prague 's run of at least 51 wins in a row , between 1920 and 1923 . Teams finishing a season unbeaten ( i.e. having won or drawn every match ) are more common . Arsenal in the 2003 -- 04 English Premier League season , finished with no losses from 38 games over 100 years after Preston North End unbeaten streak in 22 league games and all of its FA Cup games in 1888 -- 89 . At the same time , AFC Wimbledon finished with a record of 42 wins , 4 draws and 0 defeats out of 46 games in their Combined Counties League Premier Division season . In Belgium , From 1933 to 1935 Royale Union Saint - Gilloise played 60 consecutive matches undefeated , setting a still unbeaten record in Belgium . In Italy , Perugia ( 1978 -- 79 ) , A.C. Milan ( 1991 -- 92 ) , and Juventus F.C. ( 2011 -- 12 ) have been undefeated . In Turkish soccer , Galatasaray in the 1985 -- 86 season uniquely completed the season unbeaten but finished as runners - up , although having the same points as Beşiktaş J.K. , who won , but had an inferior goal difference to their rival . Beşiktaş J.K. in 1991 -- 92 completed the season unbeaten and became Turkish League 's only ever champions without defeat . In Portugal , Benfica ( 1972 -- 73 ) was the first club to do so and won 28 matches -- 23 consecutively -- out of 30 , and drew two . They also went undefeated in 1977 -- 78 but finished second to Porto , who lost once that season . Porto finished the 2010 -- 11 and 2012 -- 13 seasons unbeaten , with a respective win -- draw record of 27 -- 3 and 24 -- 6 . In Saudi Arabia , Al - Hilal FC finished a 26 - game season in the 2010 -- 11 with 19 wins and 7 draws , whilst in Iraq , Al - Shorta FC went the entire 1980 -- 81 Iraqi League season undefeated . Greek club Panathinaikos F.C. finished the 1963 -- 64 season , Hungarian club Debreceni VSC finished the 2011 -- 12 season , Norwegian club Rosenborg BK finished the 2010 season undefeated . The only unbeaten champion in Brazil was SC Internacional , who won the 1979 season with 16 victories and 7 ties . In Israel , Maccabi Haifa finished the 1993 -- 1994 season ( a 39 - game season ) in the Israeli Premier League with 28 wins and 11 draws . Egyptian Premier League giants Al Ahly are the only African club to have ever completed an entire domestic season unbeaten , let alone twice , having won their 30th league title in the 2004 -- 05 season with a record of 24 wins and 2 draws and their 31st league title the following season with a slightly worse record of 23 wins and 3 draws . On October 4 , 2014 eventual Icelandic champions Stjarnan who were unbeaten faced an FH side in an away game which was the last game of the season , coincidentally before the match , FH were also unbeaten . In a closely fought match Stjarnan emerged victorious courtesy of a 94th - minute penalty from Ólafur Karl Finsen to knock FH out of first place and secure Stjarnan 's first Icelandic championship . Celtic went domestically unbeaten across the 2016 -- 17 season over all 38 league games in Scotland , finishing 30 points clear of second - place Aberdeen with 34 wins and 4 draws . Celtic also won the 2016 -- 17 Scottish League Cup and the 2016 -- 17 Scottish Cup , giving them the accolade of being the only club to win a domestic treble unbeaten . FIFA World Cup ( edit ) The likelihood of a national team in the FIFA World Cup to win all of its matches in regulation time to become the champion is much higher than most clubs in their domestic league , as the finals tournament in its current format only lasts seven games -- although this feat has only happened twice , Brazil on both instances in 1970 and 2002 . This is not counting the qualifying round of the tournament , which lasts over a year and has had a varied format since 1934 . Only the Brazilian team of 1970 has won every game in the qualification and final rounds of a single tournament , a total of 13 games . In 2010 , the Netherlands came very close achieving the same feat as Brazil did in 1970 . The Netherlands won 8 out of 8 qualifying games and went on to win the next 6 World Cup matches in regulation time only to lose in extra time to Spain in the final , ending with a 14 -- 0 -- 1 record . FIFA Women 's World Cup ( edit ) Through 2011 , the likelihood of a national team winning all of its matches in the FIFA Women 's World Cup was slightly greater than in the men 's version . The Women 's World Cup began in 1991 with 12 teams and expanded to 16 effective in 1999 . Under both structures , the winning team only had to win six games ( three in group play and three in the knockout stage ) to win the title unbeaten . The tournament expanded to 24 teams in 2015 , at which time the number of games that the champion must play increased to seven ( the same total as in the men 's World Cup ) . The 2011 event , won by Japan , was the first in which the champion lost in group play ; the other finalist , the USA , had also lost in group play . Each previous team to have won the title -- the USA in 1991 and 1999 , Norway in 1995 , and Germany in 2003 and 2007 -- won all of its group stage matches . In fact , only one of these teams , the USA in 1999 , had a knockout match go to extra time -- specifically the final against China , which ultimately went to a penalty shootout . Germany won all of its matches in the 2007 final tournament without giving up a goal , becoming the first team in either the men 's or women 's World Cup to accomplish this feat . The USA 's third championship team in 2015 had one draw in the group stage . Three Women 's World Cup champions also went through their qualifying stage without a loss or draw : USA , 1991 ( 5 wins ) Germany , 2003 ( 6 wins ) Germany , 2007 ( 8 wins ) Of the other two teams to win the Women 's World Cup without a loss or draw in the finals : Norway went through their 1995 qualification campaign with 8 wins , 1 draw and 1 loss . The USA automatically qualified for the 1999 edition as host . Team handball ( edit ) In 2011 / 2012 , German handball champion THW Kiel achieved a perfect season of as many as 34 matches . Additionally , the team also won the national DHB Cup and the international EHF Champions League . Tennis ( edit ) In 2011 and 2012 , the Washington Kastles of World Team Tennis completed back - to - back perfect seasons , the first major sports franchise in the United States to do so . The Kastles swept each of the 2011 and 2012 regular seasons with a perfect 14 -- 0 record , then in each season went on to win their two postseason games and league 's championship , amassing a 32 - game winning streak in the process . This streak stands one short of the all - time professional sports record in the United States by the 1971 -- 72 Los Angeles Lakers . Volleyball ( edit ) In the 2012 -- 13 Season , Vakıfbank İstanbul won all 52 games and reached five championship trophies in 2012 -- 13 Turkish Women 's Volleyball League , 2012 -- 13 Turkish Women 's Volleyball Cup , 2012 -- 13 CEV Women 's Champions League , 2013 Turkish Women 's Volleyball Super Cup and 2013 FIVB Women 's Club World Championship . Vakıfbank İstanbul won 6 games in Turkish Women 's Volleyball Cup , 12 games in CEV Women 's Champions League , 29 games ( 22 league , 7 play - off games ) in Turkish Women 's Volleyball League , 1 game in Turkish Women 's Volleyball Super Cup and 4 games in FIVB Volleyball Women 's Club World Championship , and never lost in the 2012 -- 13 Season . In addition , they won all 51 games they played in year 2013 . Having started Turkish Women 's Volleyball League 's 2013 -- 14 Season with 13 wins and 2013 -- 14 CEV Women 's Champions League with 8 wins , they extended their winning streak to 73 games as of January 23 , 2014 . See also ( edit ) Imperfect season , the opposite of a perfect season , where a team loses every game . Winning streak Notes ( edit ) In the 1944 under - 19 wartime competition that replaced the senior competition between 1942 and that season due to the player drain of World War II , East Perth managed a perfect season , winning all nineteen home - and - away games plus two finals .

War Eagle
War Eagle - wikipedia War Eagle Jump to : navigation , search For other uses , see War Eagle ( disambiguation ) . War Eagle Nova , War Eagle VII University Auburn University Conference SEC Description Golden eagle First seen 1930 Related mascot ( s ) Aubie War Eagle is a battle cry , yell , or motto of Auburn University and supporters of Auburn University sports teams , especially the Auburn Tigers football team . War Eagle is a common term of endearment , greeting , or salutation among the Auburn Family ( e.g. , students , alumni , fans ) . It is also the title of the university 's fight song and the name of the university 's golden eagle . The widespread use of `` War Eagle '' by Auburn devotees has often led to outside confusion as to Auburn 's official mascot . However , the official mascot of Auburn University is Aubie the Tiger , and all Auburn athletic teams , men 's and women 's , are nicknamed the Tigers . Auburn has never referred to any of its athletic teams as the `` Eagles '' or `` War Eagles . '' The university 's official response to the confusion between the Tigers mascot and the War Eagle battle cry is , `` We are the Tigers who say ' War Eagle . ' '' `` Nova '' , officially named `` War Eagle VII '' , just after flying untethered above the stadium before Auburn 's game versus South Carolina in 2010 . Since 1930 , and continuously since 1960 , Auburn has kept an actual live golden eagle on campus . Since 2001 Auburn has presented an untethered eagle to fly over Jordan - Hare stadium prior to the start of football games . War Eagle VII , a golden eagle named Nova , along with Spirit , a bald eagle , perform the War Eagle Flight before all Auburn home games at Jordan -- Hare Stadium . Contents ( hide ) 1 History of the `` War Eagle '' phrase 2 War Eagle birds 2.1 War Eagle I ( 1892 ) 2.2 War Eagle II ( 1930 ) 2.3 War Eagle III ( 1960 - 1964 ) 2.4 War Eagle IV ( 1964 - 1980 ) 2.5 War Eagle V ( 1981 - 1986 ) 2.6 War Eagle VI ( 1986 - 2006 ) 2.7 War Eagle VII ( 2006 -- present ) 3 `` War Eagle '' as Auburn 's fight song 4 References 5 External links History of the `` War Eagle '' phrase ( edit ) As early as 1916 , the Columbus , Georgia Daily Enquirer mentioned `` War Eagle '' as an Auburn battle cry . In the 19th and early 20th centuries , `` War Eagle '' appeared from time to time in the United States as an evocative nickname for people and things such as Native Americans ( including professional wrestlers ) ; race horses ; a U.S. civil war mascot ; and , in one case , a coal mine interest . There are several stories about the origin of the battle cry . One of these is a mythical story published in 1959 in the Auburn Plainsman , conceived by its then editorial page editor , Jim Phillips . This myth is detailed below under War Eagle I . A 1914 football game against the Carlisle Indians provides another myth . According to this story , there was a lineman / tackle named Bald Eagle on the Indians ' team . Attempting to exhaust that player , Auburn 's team began running multiple plays directly at his position . Without even huddling , the Auburn quarterback Lucy Hairston would yell `` Bald Eagle , '' letting the rest of the team know that the play would be run at the tackle . Spectators , however , thought the quarterback was saying `` War Eagle , '' and began to chant that . Another legend claims that `` War Eagle '' was the name given to the large golden eagle by the Plains Indians because the eagle furnished feathers for use in their war bonnets . According to a 1998 article in the Auburn Plainsman , the most likely origin of the `` War Eagle '' cry grew from a 1913 pep rally at Langdon Hall , where students had gathered the day before the annual football game against the University of Georgia . Cheerleader Gus Graydon told the crowd , `` If we are going to win this game , we 'll have to get out there and fight , because this means war . '' During the frenzy , another student , E.T. Enslen , dressed in his military uniform , noticed something had dropped from his hat . Bending down , he saw it was the metal emblem of an eagle that had come loose during his wild cheering . Someone asked him what he had found , and Enslen loudly replied , `` It 's a War Eagle ! '' The new cry was used by students at the game the following day . War Eagle birds ( edit ) Auburn has had seven numbered `` War Eagle '' birds , but the first of these only appeared in a legend about the history of the phrase `` War Eagle '' . War Eagle I ( 1892 ) ( edit ) The mythical War Eagle I has the most colorful story of all of the `` War Eagle '' eagles . War Eagle I 's story begins in the Civil War . According to the legend , a soldier from Alabama was the sole Confederate survivor of a bloody battle , Battle of the Wilderness . Stumbling across the battlefield , he came across a wounded young eagle . The bird was named Anvre , and was cared for and nursed back to health by the soldier . Several years later the soldier , a former Auburn student , returned to college as a faculty member , bringing the bird with him . For years both were a familiar sight on campus and at events . On the day of Auburn 's first football game in 1892 against the University of Georgia , the aged eagle broke away from his master during the game and began to circle the field , exciting the fans . But at the end of the game , with Auburn victorious , the eagle fell to the ground and died . In 2010 , a children 's book , `` The War Eagle Story '' by Francesca Adler - Baeder and illustrated by Tiffany Everett was published that favors this version of the story . This legend was originally published in the March 27 , 1959 , edition of the Auburn Plainsman and was conceived by then editorial page editor Jim Phillips . Though apocryphal , this tale is most often told as the beginning of the association of `` War Eagle '' with Auburn . Phillips has pressed several recent presidents of Auburn to research the true origin of the battle cry `` before my fictitious story gets carved in stone . '' War Eagle II ( 1930 ) ( edit ) Auburn 's first real , live - eagle mascot , War Eagle II , was mentioned in the New York Times , which noted then that `` War Eagle '' was already established as Auburn 's battle cry . In November 1930 a golden eagle swooped down on a flock of turkeys in Bee Hive , Alabama , southwest of Auburn , Alabama , and became entangled in a mass of pea vines . Fourteen individuals and businesses scraped together $10 and purchased the eagle from the farmer who owned the pea patch . Cheerleaders DeWit Stier and Harry `` Happy '' Davis ( who later became executive secretary of the Alumni Association ) helped care for the new bird . It was put in a strong wire cage and taken to the Auburn football game against the University of South Carolina in Columbus , Georgia on Thanksgiving Day . Auburn , having not won a Southern Conference game in four seasons , was anticipated to lose . However , Auburn took a 25 - 7 victory over the Gamecocks . The student body concluded that the luck from the eagle 's presence -- which had been absent from their prior losses -- was responsible for the victory that day . The eagle was kept in a cage behind Alumni Hall ( renamed Ingram Hall ) , and cared for by members of the `` A '' Club . The bird 's ultimate fate is unknown . Some say it died or was carried away by students of a rival school . Others say it was given to a zoo due to the high cost of upkeep ; there is even a rumor that it was stuffed and put in the John Bell Lovelace Athletic Museum . Originally known simply as `` War Eagle '' this bird was retroactively named `` War Eagle II '' with the arrival of War Eagle III . War Eagle III ( 1960 - 1964 ) ( edit ) Auburn 's third eagle arrived in Auburn in November 1960 after being captured by a cotton farmer in Curry Station , Talladega County , Alabama who found the bird caught between two rows of cotton . The eagle was sent to Auburn by the Talladega County Agent along with a load of turkeys . It was first taken to the Alpha Tau Omega fraternity house where it refused a cold chicken leg but made fast work of a live chicken . After a short stay in one of the Wildlife Department 's animal pens , the eagle was moved into a cage built by the Auburn 's Delta Chapter of Alpha Phi Omega fraternity . This would begin a 40 - year period where Alpha Phi Omega was the bird 's primary caretaker . Jon Bowden , a fraternity brother who had previously worked with hawks in Colorado and Missouri , volunteered to serve as the bird 's trainer . Formally named War Eagle III , Jon nicknamed the bird `` Tiger . '' In April 1961 , Jon and Tiger made their first appearance as trainer and mascot on the baseball diamond . Auburn was playing the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets and was trailing 10 - 13 in the eighth inning , but rallied in the ninth and scored 4 runs to win the game . The students were receptive to the new mascot and expressed a concern for a larger cage to house War Eagle III . In 1964 , on the morning of the football game against Tennessee , War Eagle III was seen by his trainer , A. Elwyn Hamer Jr. , sitting on the ground next to his perch . He had sprung the clip on his leash and escaped . After several days of searching , the bird was found shot to death in a wooded area near Birmingham , Alabama , where the game was being played . War Eagle IV ( 1964 - 1980 ) ( edit ) The Birmingham Downtown Action Committee found another golden eagle in the Jackson , Mississippi zoo and presented it to the Auburn student body in October 1964 . This became War Eagle IV , also called `` Tiger . '' She lived in a large aviary -- until torn down in 2003 the second largest single - bird enclosure in the country -- that had been funded and constructed by the Alpha Phi Omega fraternity and named for A. Elwyn Hamer Jr. , War Eagle III 's first trainer who had been killed in a plane crash in December 1965 . Throughout the years , the fraternity provided care and training for the mascot . On the morning of the 1980 Iron Bowl against Alabama in Birmingham , she was found dead by her trainers ( Tim Thomason , Charlie Jacks , Bob Ingram , and her former trainer Bill Watts ) , having died of natural causes at age 22 , after having served as Auburn 's mascot for 16 years . A marker in memory of War Eagle IV is located on the Auburn University campus near the former site of the aviary . War Eagle V ( 1981 - 1986 ) ( edit ) Through the efforts of War Eagle IV 's trainers and with the financial support of the Birmingham Downtown Action , an immature golden eagle was located soon after the death of War Eagle IV and brought to Auburn from Wyoming . The bird arrived in Auburn on March 3 , 1981 and was taken to the Veterinary School where she was kept for a short period in order to be examined for any signs of shock from travel . She was then transferred to a small cage until the annual `` A Day '' football game when she was presented to the University by the Birmingham Downtown Action Committee on May 9 , 1981 . The bird was under the stewardship of the U.S. Government under the provisions of the Endangered Species Act and was on loan to the Auburn University Veterinary School . She was officially named War Eagle V , and nicknamed `` Tiger '' as was tradition . She was approximately two years old at her arrival and was very active on campus . She attended many university functions , Alumni meetings , schools , hospitals , the 1985 Boy Scouts of America National Jamboree , and the 1986 National Order of the Arrow Conference . On September 4 , 1986 , War Eagle V died of a ruptured spleen at the age of 8 and a half years old . War Eagle V was taken to Auburn 's veterinary school the night before by her trainer , Jim McAlarney , who noticed that she was not behaving normally . McAlarney spent the night at the veterinary school while veterinarians made a futile effort to save the bird 's life . War Eagle VI ( 1986 - 2006 ) ( edit ) The eagle trainers began working soon after the unexpected death of War Eagle V to find a new golden eagle . The Auburn University Alumni Association and many Auburn alumni contributed to the effort and a new eagle was located at the Tennessee Valley Authority Raptor Rehabilitation Facility in Land Between The Lakes , Kentucky . Trainers made the trip to the facility to receive Auburn 's new mascot . The bird originally came from St. Louis , Missouri , where she was seized by Federal agents as part of an illegal breeding operation and brought to Kentucky by wildlife biologist , Robert D. Smith , who managed the Bald Eagle and Osprey programs at Land Between the Lakes and just happened to have a son at Auburn . Like War Eagle V , she was under the stewardship of the U.S. Government under the provisions of the Endangered Species Act and was on loan to the Auburn University College of Veterinary Medicine . She arrived in Auburn on October 8 , 1986 at an age of six years . Like the two eagles before her , she was cared for by the members of Alpha Phi Omega and nicknamed Tiger . During the 2000 football season , War Eagle VI began a tradition of performing a free flight before a home football game . War Eagle VI , and later other eagles kept by in the Southeastern Raptor Rehabilitation Center in Auburn , flew around the stadium before landing on the field as the crowd chanted `` War Eagle '' . In 2000 , day - to - day care of War Eagle VI was turned over to the Southeastern Raptor Rehabilitation Center , ending the 40 - year program of care by Alpha Phi Omega . Shortly thereafter , the bird was moved from the Hamer Aviary to the Southeastern Raptor Rehabilitation center . The Hamer Aviary was torn down in the summer of 2003 . On February 8 , 2002 , War Eagle VI flew in Rice - Eccles Stadium as part of the opening ceremonies of the 2002 Olympic Winter Games in Salt Lake City . War Eagle VI was featured the next day on NBC 's Today Show . In the summer of 2003 , allegations of improper care of the birds by the Southeastern Raptor Rehabilitation Center were leveled by the university administration and by the United States Fish and Wildlife Service . Many of the birds were suffering from diseases and malnourishment . After all investigations were concluded , War Eagle VI was allowed to fly again prior to Auburn home games . War Eagle VI 's presence continued to be used throughout her life as a wildlife educational tool . On November 11 , 2006 , War Eagle VI was officially retired in a pregame ceremony before the Georgia game . During halftime of the same game , her successor , Nova , was named War Eagle VII . In her final game as War Eagle VI , Auburn defeated Arkansas State 27 - 0 , finalizing the team 's record under War Eagle VI at 174 - 69 - 4 . She saw two undefeated Auburn seasons , four SEC titles , and six SEC Western Division crowns . Tiger continued to make non-flying appearances at Auburn University events and for wildlife education to various organizations until her death on June 18 , 2014 , at age 34 shortly following cataract surgery . War Eagle VII ( 2006 -- present ) ( edit ) Nova , Auburn 's fourteen - year - old golden eagle , was officially named War Eagle VII on November 11 , 2006 . He was hatched in the Montgomery Zoo in 1999 and moved to Auburn at six months of age . Prior to being named War Eagle VII , Nova had already participated in pre-game flights and conservation exhibits throughout the southeast . As of 2017 - Nova was suspended from flight activities due to a diagnosis of chronic heart disease . Auburn University would instead use Spirit , a bald eagle , in place of Nova for the 2017 - 18 Football Season War Eagle was named the # 4 mascot in a poll by Foxsports . War Eagle VII is currently 18 years old . `` War Eagle '' as Auburn 's fight song ( edit ) `` War Eagle '' is the name of the university 's official fight song . It is played before and after games , as well as immediately after Auburn scores by the Auburn University Marching Band . ( Auburn plays `` Glory , Glory , to Ole Auburn '' after an extra point . ) In addition , the Samford Carillon , located in the clock tower of Samford Hall , rings the fight song every day at noon . `` War Eagle '' was written in 1954 and 1955 by New York songwriters Robert Allen and Al Stillman . The `` Auburn Victory March '' had been the fight song for decades . The Jordan Vocational High School Band of Columbus , Georgia , under the direction of Bob Barr first performed the song during Auburn 's 1955 season - opener versus Chattanooga . Auburn University currently does not hold ownership of the copyright for `` War Eagle '' . The university did not renew it and the copyright is currently held by the estate of Robert Allen . Therefore , companies selling products with `` War Eagle '' being played must acquire licensing from the estate as well as Auburn University . There is a movement within the university to regain the ownership of the song . War Eagle First two lines and last two lines Problems playing this file ? See media help .

The story initially centers on Eren Yeager and his childhood friends Mikasa Ackerman and Armin Arlert , who join the military to fight the Titans after their hometown is invaded and Eren 's mother is eaten and Eren swears to avenge her . However , as the story progresses and the truths about the Titans are slowly revealed to the reader , the narrative shifts to encompass Historia Reiss , squad leader Levi , Eren 's father Grisha , and other supporting characters .

What remains of humanity now resides within three enormous curtain walls : the outermost is Wall Maria ( ウォール ・ マリア , Wōru Maria ) ; the middle wall is Wall Rose ( ウォール ・ ローゼ , Wōru Rōze , sometimes pronounced like rosé ) and the innermost is Wall Sheena ( ウォール ・ シーナ , Wōru Shīna , alt . `` Wall Sina '' ) . Inside these walls , humanity has lived in uneasy peace for one hundred years , many people growing up without ever having seen a Titan . This all changes when one day , a giant 60 - meter ( 200 ft ) - tall Colossus Titan mysteriously appears after a strike of lightning and breaches the outer wall ( which is 50 meters tall ) of the Shiganshina district , a town at Wall Maria , allowing the smaller Titans to invade the district . An Armored Titan smashes clean through the gate in Wall Maria , forcing humankind to abandon the land between Wall Maria and Wall Rose , evacuating the remaining population into the inner districts . The sudden influx of population causes turmoil and famine . The Titans are giant humanoid figures ranging between 3 -- 15 meters ( 10 -- 50 ft ) tall and are usually masculine in body structure but lack reproductive organs . Although they do not appear to need food , they instinctively attack and eat humans on sight ; it is mentioned that they derive their energy from sunlight . Furthermore , the Titans also do not have a proper digestive tract ; once they have eaten their fill of human prey , Titans will vomit large , slimy balls , derisively referred to as `` hairballs '' , as shown in the episode where the squad retakes Trost , half of a soldier ( Marco ) is found engulfed in slime with several humans in one of these . Finally , their skin is tough and difficult to penetrate , and they regenerate quickly from injuries , save for a weak spot at the nape of their neck . Combatting the Titans is the military , which is divided into three branches . Foremost in the story is the Survey Corps ( 調査 兵団 , Chōsa Heidan ) , which goes out into Titan territory to try to reclaim the land . The Survey Corps are heavily derided in society because of their apparently senseless high casualty rate and little sense of progress . The second and largest branch is the Garrison Regiment ( 駐屯 兵団 , Chūton Heidan ) , which guards the walls and the civilian populace . The third branch is the Military Police Brigade ( 憲兵 団 , Kenpeidan ) , who guards the royal family and live relatively relaxed lives in the inner wall , although this eventually results in fraud , corruption , and political subterfuge . The soldiers use a tethering system called Vertical Maneuvering Equipment ( 立体 機動 装置 , Rittai Kidō Sōchi ) acting as a grappling system , allowing them to jump onto ( and swing from ) walls , trees , or nearby buildings to attack Titans with dual swords and gas canisters which they use to propel themselves . However , despite it being the soldiers ' primary line of both offense and defense against the Titans , it is useless in open and flat terrain like fields . It is later revealed that the Titans were created when Ymir Fritz found the `` source of all organic life '' and became the Founding Titan where she had the ability to create and control the Titans . When Ymir Fritz died as a side effect of having the Titan ability for 13 years , she was split into the 9 Titans where their abilities can be inherited by anyone once the previous wielder is dead . These Titans consist of the Founding Titan , the Attack Titan , the Colossus Titan , the Armored Titan , the Female Titan , the Beast Titan , the Jaw Titan , the Cart Titan , and the War Hammer Titan . The 145th King that wielded the Founding Titan 's power fled to the island of Paradis where he used the countless Colossus Titans to make the walls and erased the memories of the Subjects of Ymir he brought with him so that they did n't know anything about the outside world . Plot ( edit ) Main article : List of Attack on Titan characters The story of Attack on Titan revolves around the adventures of Eren Yeager , Mikasa Ackerman , and their childhood friend Armin Arlert who once lived in the town of Shinganshina . But when Wall Maria is breached by the Colossal Titan , the Armored Titan further compromising the town , chaos ensued as the Titans enter Shinganshina with a mass evacuation . Having watched in horror as a smiling Titan eats his mother , his father having mysteriously disappeared after giving him a key to their basement , Eren vowed to kill all the Titans and enlisted in the military with his friends following suit . Five years later , the three cadet graduates are positioned in Trost District , one of the border towns jutting out of Wall Rose when the Colossal Titan appeared and history repeats itself . In the ensuing battle , Eren appeared to have been killed when he sacrificed himself while saving Armin from being eaten by a bearded Titan . Things appeared bleak until Mikasa and Armin encounter a Titan that uncharacteristically attacks the other Titans with raging fury , the creature ultimately revealed to be Eren . Though considered a threat by some despite helping take back Trost District , the following military trial ruled that Eren will be taken in by the Survey Corps ' Special Operations Squad under Captain Levi . In an expedition to Shinganshina to make use of Eren 's abilities , the Scouts are attacked by a Female Titan who attempts to capture Eren while wiping out Levi 's subordinates . Though Eren was saved , the expedition ended in failure while Armin determined that the Female Titan is fellow cadet from their class named Annie Leonheart . While Annie encased herself in crystal when her capture at Stohess is assured , the collateral damage reveals the walls are formed from Titans . Eventually , Eren learns that their fellow cadets Reiner Braun and Bertolt Hoover are the Titans who comprised Wall Maria as they and Anne are revealed to have been sent by an unknown party to capture Eren as he possess `` The Coordinate '' which allows him to control Titans . The event also revealed another cadet named Krista Lenz to be actually Historia Reiss , the illegitimate daughter of the city 's true ruler Rod Reiss . Reiss has the Military Police track Eren and Historia and brought to him , revealing that the former 's Titan abilities were result of his father Grisha having stolen the power of the Reiss family during the chaos at Shinganshina and allowed himself to be devoured by his son . While Historia learns her father intends for her to become a Titan and kill Eren to claim her birthright and restore the old system , she refused and aids the Survey Corps in overthrowing the monarchy while personally ending Reiss 's life after he turned himself into a Titan . The ordeal allowed Eren to gain a new power that allows him to create massive and permanent structures , which the Survey Corps used in their next expedition to seal the breach in Wall Maria . But the group are ambushed by Zeke , the man who Reiner and Bertolt serve under . The Battle of Shinganshina which ensued resulted in the deaths of commander Erwin Smith and most of the expedition members , Armin only able to survive when he is turned into a Titan and devours Bertolt to become the new Colossal Titan . Before returning home , the survivors reach the basement of the Yeager residence where they find the truth Grisha wanted them to learn : That human civilization is thriving despite what they had believed and that they are descendants of some of the Eldian people who fled to Paradis to escape oppression by Marley , a world power that seeks to acquire Paradis 's natural resources by force . The Titans are revealed to be exiled Eldian prisoners the Marleyans used to keep the Eldians within the walls from expanding their territory prior to sending Zeke , who Eren learns is his older half - brother who had their father exiled to Paradis . But events led Grisha to acquire the power of the Attack Titan which he later passed to Eren along with the Founding Titan , nicknamed the `` Coordinate '' by the Marleyans . Four years passed since the Battle of Shinganshina and the reclaim of Wall Maria . As the Marley 's military hegemony declines and all attempts to scout Paradis end in failure , Willy Tybur , patriarch of Marley 's most influential and highly respected political clan , openly admits his family have secretly control the Marley government and had an alliance with King Karl Fritz , a descendant of the first Progenitor Titan Ymir Fritz who orchestrated Eldia 's downfall . Claiming that Eren 's possession of the Founding Titan is a threat to the entire world , Willy rallies the other countries for an alliance to invade Paradis . However , Eren Yeager successfully infiltrates Liberio posing as a wounded soldier and conducts espionage . During the festivities in Liberio , Willy takes advantage to declare war on the inhabitants of Paradis but a calm yet vengeful Eren rises and disrupts Willy 's declaration . As chaos ensues , his comrades also march towards Liberio using their anti-personnel vertical maneuvering gear to eliminate their enemies , including the War Hammer Titan which being used by Willy 's sister . Production ( edit ) Hajime Isayama created a 65 - page one - shot version of Attack on Titan in 2006 . Originally , he also offered his work to the Weekly Shōnen Jump department at Shueisha , where he was advised to modify his style and story to be more suitable for Jump . He declined and instead decided to take it to the Weekly Shōnen Magazine department at Kodansha . Before serialization began in 2009 , he had already thought of ideas for twists , although they are fleshed out as the series progresses . The author initially based the scenery in the manga on that of his hometown , which is surrounded by mountains . While working at an internet cafe , Isayama encountered a customer who grabbed him by the collar . It was this incident that showed him `` the fear of meeting a person I ca n't communicate with , '' which is the feeling that he conveys through the Titans . When designing the appearances of the Titans , he uses several models such as martial artist Yushin Okami for Eren Yeager 's Titan form as well as Brock Lesnar for the Armored Titan . George Wada , the anime 's producer , stated that the `` Wall of Fear '' was influenced by the isolated and enclosed nature of Japanese culture . He also said that the inner feelings of every individual is one of the series ' main influences . Isayama later would confirm that Attack on Titan was inspired in part by Muv - Luv Alternative , the second visual novel in the Muv - Luv visual novel series . Isayama estimated his basic monthly timeline as one week to storyboard and three weeks to actually draw the chapter . The story is planned out in advance , even marking down in which collected volumes a specific `` truth '' will be revealed . In September 2013 , he stated that he was aiming to end the series in 20 collected volumes . Originally , Isayama planned to give the series a tragic conclusion similar to that of the film adaptation of Stephen King 's The Mist , where every character dies . However , positive response to the manga and anime has caused the author to contemplate changing the ending due to the impact it could have on fans .

Reception ( edit ) Manga ( edit ) Attack on Titan won the Kodansha Manga Award in the shōnen category in 2011 , was nominated for the 4th Manga Taishō Award and both the 16th and 18th annual Tezuka Osamu Cultural Prize . The 2012 edition of Kono Manga ga Sugoi ! , which surveys people in the manga and publishing industry , named Attack on Titan the eighth best manga series for male readers , while the 2014 edition named it the sixth best . Attack on Titan was the top favorite manga for Yomiuri Shimbun 's Sugoi Japan Awards in 2015 . Attack on Titan was the second highest selling manga series of 2013 , with 15,933,801 copies sold in a single year . In April 2014 , Oricon reported that 30 million volumes of the series have been sold . In the first half of 2014 it topped the chart , ending One Piece 's five - year reign as the highest selling series in that period , with Isayama surprised about it and thanking the readers . By the end of the year , it was the second best selling manga with 11,728,368 copies sold . In 2015 , the series sold 8,778,048 copies ranking third for the year , and 6,544,081 in 2016 for the fourth rank . Attack on Titan was the second best - selling manga of 2017 with sales of 6,622,781 copies , behind One Piece with 11,495,532 . The manga 's publisher , Kodansha , credits Attack on Titan for the company 's first revenue increase in eighteen years . The anime is noted to have helped in boosting the series ' sales while Mainichi Shimbun called it a `` once - in - a-decade hit . '' Six of the seven English volumes published in North America at the time charted on The New York Times Manga Best Seller list for the week of October 13 , 2013 , and volume one was on the list for 81 weeks straight . In June 2015 , the first volume clocked in at its 100th week on the top 10 chart . It also currently holds the title of appearing on the list for a volume with 121 weeks . Volume one was also number one on Nielsen BookScan 's list of top 20 graphic novels in American bookstores for October 2013 , and for the month of September , the series had more volumes on the list than any other series . The Young Adult Library Services Association in the United States named the series one of its `` Great Graphic Novels for Teens '' in 2013 . Kodansha USA 's English release won the 2014 Harvey Award for Best American Edition of Foreign Material . Attack on Titan was the only manga to be nominated for the 2015 Goodreads Choice Award for Best Graphic Novel / Comic . Many have analyzed Attack on Titan as representing `` the hopelessness felt by young people in today 's society . '' while writer Mao Yamawaki called it a `` coming - of - age story of the boys and girls at its core , '' with a new mystery every episode . It is these mysteries that critic Tomofusa Kure says amplifies readers ' expectations . The artwork of the manga has been criticized as crude by some reviewers , with Isayama himself admitting his drawings are `` amateurish . '' However , those same critics stated that after years of serialization , the art has been improving , and Kure believes that had the illustrations been `` refined '' , it would not have conveyed the `` eeriness '' that is a key characteristic of the work . In a short review , Jason Thompson noted how the characters conveniently receive `` power - ups '' to create plot twists , but concluded that these said plot twists and the manga 's post-apocalyptic world are `` too good to miss . '' Anime ( edit ) The anime has been very successful in Japan , with average sales of 52,067 across 9 volumes , with a total of 468,603 as of August 2016 . It was the number one selling TV anime of 2013 in Japan and is currently the eighth best selling anime of 2010 's . It has also been very successful in the U.S. with sales of at least 200,000 . It was also the number one streaming anime from Funimation in 2014 and the number one fan favorite Funimation home video released of 2014 . The anime adaptation won multiple prizes during the 3rd Newtype Anime Awards , including Best Director , Best Script , Best Soundtrack , Best Theme Song , Top Female Character and Title of the Year . It received the award for Best TV Animation at the 2013 Animation Kobe Awards . It received the award for Animation of the Year at the 2014 Tokyo Anime Award , along with , Best Director , Best Screenplay and Best Music . It won the 2013 Digital Contents of the Year Award at Japan 's 19th annual Association of Media in Digital ( AMD ) Awards . Carl Kimlinger from Anime News Network was sharply critical of the first two episodes of the anime adaptation . He did praise the show for `` ( bringing ) back the terror of the fee - fi - fo - fum set '' , but then said that it `` does not a good show make '' . Kimlinger criticized Araki 's direction , saying he `` clearly intends it to be powerful and unsettling , but it 's just crude and unpleasant . '' On the other hand , other critics from Anime News Network praised much of the series . Rebecca Silverman said it `` is both gorgeous and appalling in its visuals '' , and `` an excellent mix of what 18th century Gothic novelist Ann Radcliffe defined as horror versus terror : the one is physical , making you want to look away , and the other is intellectual , making you want to know what 's going to happen next . '' Though there are several apocalyptic action shows , Carlo Santos noted that `` few get as close to perfection as Attack on Titan does '' . Santos described it as `` a masterpiece of death and destruction '' even if he only watched the first episode . Theron Martin of Anime News Network praised the musical score and the `` intense , impactful first episode '' despite his feeling that it has `` limited animation '' . Martin also compared Attack on Titan 's vibe and visual aesthetic to Claymore . John Sinnott of DVD Talk called the series one of the best ones he has ever watched and one `` that anime fans should not miss . '' Political interpretations ( edit ) The series has gained a strong popularity in not only Japan but also throughout the world . For instance , coverage of the anime appeared on the front page of the Hong Kong free newspaper am730 on May 27 , 2013 , concerning its popularity within Hong Kong as well as in China and Taiwan . However , the series also attracted criticism : the South Korean Electronic Times magazine accused Attack on Titan of having a militaristic message that serves Japanese Prime Minister Shinzō Abe 's political leanings ; while the series also resonated with Hong Kong youths who saw the invading Titans as a metaphor for mainland China . Hong Kong media commentator Wong Yeung - tat praised Isayama 's style and the versatility of Attack on Titan 's setting , which opens itself to readers ' various interpretations . In 2013 , after media linked to a 2010 blog post by Isayama indicating that the design of the character Dot Pixis was based on the Imperial Japanese General Akiyama Yoshifuru , an Internet flame war about the general 's war record ( e.g. allowing the Port Arthur massacre to occur ) ensued on his blog and included death threats to the author . Because many of the threats written in Japanese had grammatical errors , it is believed that they were written by people outside of Japan .

Potions in Harry Potter
Potions in Harry Potter - wikipedia Potions in Harry Potter Jump to : navigation , search This article includes a list of references , but its sources remain unclear because it has insufficient inline citations . Please help to improve this article by introducing more precise citations . ( June 2016 ) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message ) This is a list of potions used in the Harry Potter series . Many are mentioned in potions class at Hogwarts , which is taught by Severus Snape in books one to five and Horace Slughorn in books six and seven . Contents ( hide ) 1 List of potions 1.1 Amortentia 1.2 Confusing Concoction 1.3 Draught of Living Death 1.4 Draught of Peace 1.5 Felix Felicis 1.6 Hiccoughing Potion 1.7 Pepperup Potion 1.8 Polyjuice Potion 1.9 Skele - Gro 1.10 Sleekeazy 's Hair Potion 1.11 Veritaserum 1.12 Wolfsbane 2 See also 3 References 4 Bibliography 5 Further reading List of potions ( edit ) Amortentia ( edit ) Amortentia is a love potion that does not create actual love , but gives the drinker a powerful obsession and infatuation with the giver of the potion . It is usually either forced upon someone or covertly given . As a rule of thumb the longer a love potion awaits consumption , the stronger the effects will be , as seen in Harry Potter and the Half - Blood Prince when Ron Weasley mistakenly eats a box of Chocolate Cauldrons spiked with the intense love potion intended for Harry previously bought from Weasley 's Wizard Wheezes . The potion 's aroma is unique to each person who consumes it , as it smells like whatever attracts each individual , e.g. Hermione Granger says that she smells spearmint toothpaste , freshly cut grass and a piece of fresh parchment in the movies . In the books , she does not say spearmint toothpaste as the third aroma but instead blushes . ( she smelled Ron 's hair according to later clarification by the author ) . It can also be identified by its characteristic spirals of steam and its mother - of - pearl sheen , as noted by Hermione . Unless constantly administered , its effects eventually wear off . Confusing Concoction ( edit ) A Confusing Concoction will cause the drinker to become confused , distracted and sick . During potions in his third year in Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban , Harry has to brew this potion but can not manage to thicken it . Harry sees Severus Snape scribble something on a clipboard that `` looks suspiciously like a zero . '' Draught of Living Death ( edit ) When a person drinks the Draught of Living Death , they go into a deep sleep so strong that they appear to be dead , hence the name . It is made from powdered root of asphodel which is added to an infusion of wormwood , and was first mentioned in Harry 's first potions lesson with Snape in Harry Potter and the Philosophers Stone . It was later mentioned in his first Potions lesson with Horace Slughorn in Half - Blood Prince when Harry receives top marks in Horace Slughorn 's first NEWT ( Nastily Exhausting Wizarding Tests ) Potions class for brewing this potion so well , having used the handwritten advice in the Half - Blood Prince 's book . He is then awarded a small bottle of the potion Felix Felicis as a prize . This potion is described as changing in colour during the process of being made . It has a texture and consistency akin to that of clear water . A process of examining the potency of the potion is to drop a new or fresh leaf in it -- the leaf is instantaneously reduced to ashes . Draught of Peace ( edit ) The Draught of Peace provides personal comfort , calms anxiety and soothes agitation . In Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix , Snape sets the potion as one of his lessons . It is a very difficult potion to make as the ingredients have to be added in a very specific order , the mixture has to be stirred exactly the right number of times and the heat of the flames on which it is simmering has to be lowered to exactly the right level for the right number of minutes before the final ingredient is added . Hannah Abbott had to have this potion in Order of the Phoenix to reduce her anxiety over the upcoming Ordinary Wizarding Levels ( O.W.L.s ) . Felix Felicis ( edit ) Felix Felicis , more commonly known as Liquid Luck , grants whoever drinks it unusually good luck . The time span of this luck depends on the amount imbibed . Liquid Luck is one of the hardest potions to make , as noted by Horace Slughorn ; `` It has to be cooked for 6 months on an extremely complicated formula , and if you make a tiniest mistake , the consequences are severe '' . Because of its properties , it is banned in all sporting events , competitions and examinations . In Rowling 's original narrative , the potion looks akin to liquid gold . However , in the movie adaptation it is clear and water - like . Slughorn also noted that excessive consumption results in side effects that include giddiness and overzealousness , among other effects that are related to overconfidence . In Half - Blood Prince , Harry pretends to give some to Ron so that he will do well at Quidditch . Ron 's luck turns for the better , with the confidence working as a placebo . Harry does use most of it later in the same novel in order to extract the true memory about Tom Riddle and Horcruxes from Slughorn ( though it also has the pleasant side effect of causing Dean Thomas and Ginny Weasley to end their relationship ) , and the rest is shared between Ron , Hermione , Neville Longbottom and Ginny the night Death Eaters break into Hogwarts . Hiccoughing potion ( edit ) Hiccoughing Potion ( Hiccuping Potion in the American edition ) is a simple potion and one of the first that Snape instructs his first - years to brew in The Philosopher 's Stone . The potion , referred to by name , stops excessive hiccoughing in a matter of seconds . Pepperup potion ( edit ) A Pepperup Potion is designed to improve health , relieve coughs and colds , though it does have one major side effect : it causes steam to dribble from the patient 's ears for several hours afterward . It is also used to quickly elevate body temperature , as shown after the second task in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire and mentioned in Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets . Polyjuice potion ( edit ) The Polyjuice Potion allows the drinker to assume the appearance of someone else for an hour or more depending on the quantity . The potion only causes a physical transformation of the drinker , but clothing and voice is not affected . Its ingredients include fluxweed , knotgrass , lacewing flies , leeches , powdered Bicorn horn , and shredded Boomslang skin . The final component is a bit of the individual to be impersonated ; strands of hair are most often used for this purpose . Its taste and appearance depends on the person 's good character that is being impersonated ( for example , the potion becomes golden for Harry but grey and clumpy for Vincent Crabbe and Gregory Goyle , and as for Harry , the potion is delicious , but when Harry and Ron drink to impersonate Crabbe and Goyle , Goyle 's tasted like overcooked cabbage ) . It is first used in Chamber of Secrets to allow Harry and Ron to transform into Crabbe and Goyle so that they can question Draco Malfoy about the Heir of Slytherin . The potion is one of the complicated ones , as it needs a month to be cooked . In Goblet of Fire , Barty Crouch , Jr. uses it to disguise himself as Mad - Eye Moody all year long , keeping a flask of the potion on him at all times . In Half - Blood Prince , Crabbe and Goyle use the potion multiple times to disguise themselves as young girls while guarding the Room of Requirement . In Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows , it is first used to transform members of the Order into Harry look - alikes , creating decoys for Lord Voldemort and the Death Eaters . Fleur Delacour , Hermione , Fred Weasley , George Weasley , Ron , and Mundungus Fletcher serve as the doppelgangers . Later , Harry uses some hair from a local Muggle boy in Ottery St. Catchpole to disguise himself at Bill Weasley and Fleur 's wedding as a fictitious Weasley relative named `` Barny Weasley . '' Harry , Ron , and Hermione use it to infiltrate the Ministry of Magic by disguising themselves as Ministry officials : Harry poses as Albert Runcorn , an investigator of Muggle - borns ; Ron poses as Reginald Cattermole , a worker at the Magical Maintenance Department whose wife is being put on trial by Dolores Umbridge ; and Hermione poses as Mafalda Hopkirk , Umbridge 's secretary . While visiting Godric 's Hollow , Harry and Hermione disguise themselves as a middle - aged Muggle couple ; it is last seen when Hermione disguises herself as Bellatrix Lestrange to break into her vault at Gringotts ( However , the potion wears off due to the magic waterfall known as the `` Thief 's Downfall '' in Gringotts that washes every spell or potion that is active , as well as Hermione 's disguise ) . Polyjuice Potion only works correctly when done on human - to - human transfiguration , as Hermione discovers in Chamber of Secrets when she inadvertently takes a dose containing cat hair , giving her the furry face and tail of a cat . Such a transformation is always incomplete and occasionally irreversible . In the books , the potion changes the drinker 's voice to match that of the target , as well as any disabilities such as poor eyesight or amputations . The films contradict this point , probably for the sake of character clarity : Harry and Ron retain their own voices after using the potion in Chamber of Secrets ; the same is true in Deathly Hallows -- Part 1 during the scene of the seven Potters and while infiltrating the Ministry . Skele - Gro ( edit ) Skele - Gro is a medicinal potion that can regrow missing or removed bones , though it tastes terrible and the process is very slow and extremely painful . In Chamber of Secrets , the Bludger breaks Harry 's arm while he plays Quidditch and Gilderoy Lockhart , the incompetent Defence Against the Dark Arts teacher , accidentally removes his bones instead of mending them . As a result , Harry takes a dose of the potion and spends the night in the hospital wing . In Deathly Hallows , the goblin Griphook 's legs are broken in the escape from Malfoy Manor . Luna Lovegood uses Skele - Gro to repair them . Sleekeazy 's hair potion ( edit ) Sleekeazy 's Hair Potion is a beauty treatment used by witches to smooth and straighten hair . Hermione uses it during the Yule Ball in Goblet of Fire before meeting Viktor Krum . This is part of her three - hour beauty regimen to prepare for the ball ; although it is very effective , Hermione later confesses to Harry that using the potion is `` way too much bother '' for daily use . According to Pottermore , the potion was created by Harry 's grandfather , Fleamont Potter . Veritaserum ( edit ) Veritaserum is a very powerful truth potion . The name `` Veritaserum '' derives from the Latin word Veritas , meaning truth . Three drops of this potion are all that is needed to force anyone to respond to any question with the truth . It is first used on Barty Crouch Jr. in Goblet of Fire , in Order of the Phoenix , Umbridge demands the potion to use it while interrogating Harry about who he contacted , but is thwarted by Snape who claims he has none left having given her an entire bottle earlier in the book ( although that bottle was a placebo ) . In Half - Blood Prince , Harry considers using the potion to get Slughorn to reveal his memories about Voldemort , but thinks better of it ; and in Deathly Hallows Rita Skeeter uses the potion to extract the story of Dumbledore 's childhood from Bathilda Bagshot . Rowling has revealed on her fansite that Veritaserum can be fooled using Occlumency and is hence not usually accepted in general practice in wizard courts . Wolfsbane ( edit ) In Prisoner of Azkaban , Severus Snape brews this for Remus Lupin to help him retain his sanity when he changes into a werewolf . It causes a werewolf in wolf form to act like that of a tired wolf .

what potion did harry potter take to get slughorn's memories
[ "Felix Felicis, more commonly known as Liquid Luck, grants whoever drinks it unusually good luck.[1] The time span of this luck depends on the amount imbibed. Liquid Luck is one of the hardest potions to make, as noted by Horace Slughorn; \"It has to be cooked for 6 months on an extremely complicated formula, and if you make a tiniest mistake, the consequences are severe\". Because of its properties, it is banned in all sporting events, competitions and examinations. In Rowling's original narrative, the potion looks akin to liquid gold. However, in the movie adaptation it is clear and water-like. Slughorn also noted that excessive consumption results in side effects that include giddiness and overzealousness, among other effects that are related to overconfidence. In Half-Blood Prince, Harry pretends to give some to Ron so that he will do well at Quidditch. Ron's luck turns for the better, with the confidence working as a placebo. Harry does use most of it later in the same novel in order to extract the true memory about Tom Riddle and Horcruxes from Slughorn (though it also has the pleasant side effect of causing Dean Thomas and Ginny Weasley to end their relationship), and the rest is shared between Ron, Hermione, Neville Longbottom and Ginny the night Death Eaters break into Hogwarts." ]

Orbital spaceflight
Orbital spaceflight - wikipedia Orbital spaceflight Jump to : navigation , search This article needs additional citations for verification . Please help improve this article by adding citations to reliable sources . Unsourced material may be challenged and removed . ( March 2008 ) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message ) Space Shuttle Discovery rockets to orbital velocity , seen here just after booster separation An orbital spaceflight ( or orbital flight ) is a spaceflight in which a spacecraft is placed on a trajectory where it could remain in space for at least one orbit . To do this around the Earth , it must be on a free trajectory which has an altitude at perigee ( altitude at closest approach ) above 100 kilometers ( 62 mi ) ; this is , by at least one convention , the boundary of space . To remain in orbit at this altitude requires an orbital speed of ~ 7.8 km / s . Orbital speed is slower for higher orbits , but attaining them requires greater delta - v . Due to atmospheric drag , the lowest altitude at which an object in a circular orbit can complete at least one full revolution without propulsion is approximately 150 km ( 90 mi ) . The expression `` orbital spaceflight '' is mostly used to distinguish from sub-orbital spaceflights , which are flights where the apogee of a spacecraft reaches space , but the perigee is too low . Contents ( hide ) 1 Orbital launch 2 Stability 3 Orbits 4 Orbital maneuver 5 Deorbit and re-entry 6 History 7 See also 8 References 9 External links Orbital launch ( edit ) Orbital human spaceflight Name Debut Launches Vostok 1961 6 Mercury 1962 Voskhod 1964 Gemini 1965 10 Soyuz 1967 147 Apollo 1968 21 Shuttle 1981 135 Shenzhou 2003 Orbital spaceflight from Earth has only been achieved by launch vehicles that use rocket engines for propulsion . To reach orbit , the rocket must impart to the payload a delta - v of about 9.3 -- 10 km / s . This figure is mainly ( ~ 7.8 km / s ) for horizontal acceleration needed to reach orbital speed , but allows for atmospheric drag ( approximately 300 m / s with the ballistic coefficient of a 20 m long dense fueled vehicle ) , gravity losses ( depending on burn time and details of the trajectory and launch vehicle ) , and gaining altitude . The main proven technique involves launching nearly vertically for a few kilometers while performing a gravity turn , and then progressively flattening the trajectory out at an altitude of 170 + km and accelerating on a horizontal trajectory ( with the rocket angled upwards to fight gravity and maintain altitude ) for a 5 - 8 minute burn until orbital velocity is achieved . Currently , 2 - 4 stages are needed to achieve the required delta - v. Most launches are by expendable launch systems . The Pegasus rocket for small satellites instead launches from an aircraft at an altitude of 12 km . There have been many proposed methods for achieving orbital spaceflight that have the potential of being much more affordable than rockets . Some of these ideas such as the space elevator , and rotovator , require new materials much stronger than any currently known . Other proposed ideas include ground accelerators such as launch loops , rocket assisted aircraft / spaceplanes such as Reaction Engines Skylon , scramjet powered spaceplanes , and RBCC powered spaceplanes . Gun launch has been proposed for cargo . From 2015 SpaceX have demonstrated significant progress in their more incremental approach to reducing the cost of orbital spaceflight . Their potential for cost reduction comes mainly from pioneering propulsive landing with their reusable rocket booster stage as well as their Dragon capsule , but also includes reuse of the other components such as the payload fairings and the use of 3D printing of a superalloy to construct more efficient rocket engines , such as their SuperDraco . The initial stages of these improvements could reduce the cost of an orbital launch by an order of magnitude . Stability ( edit ) The International Space Station during its construction in Earth orbit in 2001 . It must be periodically re-boosted to maintain its orbit Main article : Orbital decay An object in orbit at an altitude of less than roughly 200 km is considered unstable due to atmospheric drag . For a satellite to be in a stable orbit ( i.e. sustainable for more than a few months ) , 350 km is a more standard altitude for low Earth orbit . For example , on 1958 - 02 - 01 the Explorer 1 satellite was launched into an orbit with a perigee of 358 kilometers ( 222 mi ) . It remained in orbit for more than 12 years before its atmospheric reentry over the Pacific Ocean on 1970 - 03 - 31 . However , the exact behaviour of objects in orbit depends on altitude , their ballistic coefficient , and details of space weather which can affect the height of the upper atmosphere . Orbits ( edit ) Main article : Geocentric orbit There are three main ' bands ' of orbit around the Earth : low Earth orbit ( LEO ) , medium Earth orbit ( MEO ) and geostationary orbit ( GEO ) . Due to Orbital mechanics orbits are in a particular , largely fixed plane around the Earth , which coincides with the center of the Earth , and may be tilted with respect to the equator . The Earth rotates about its axis within this orbit , and the relative motion of the spacecraft and the movement of the Earths surface determines the position that the spacecraft appears in the sky from the ground , and which parts of the Earth are visible from the spacecraft . By dropping a vertical down to the Earth 's surface it is possible to calculate a ground track which shows which part of the Earth a spacecraft is immediately above , and this is useful for helping to visualise the orbit . Orbital maneuver ( edit ) Main article : Orbital maneuver Skylab mission docked to the Skylab space station In spaceflight , an orbital maneuver is the use of propulsion systems to change the orbit of a spacecraft . For spacecraft far from Earth -- for example those in orbits around the Sun -- an orbital maneuver is called a deep - space maneuver ( DSM ) . Deorbit and reentry ( edit ) Main article : Atmospheric entry Returning spacecraft ( including all potentially manned craft ) have to find a way of slowing down as much as possible while still in higher atmospheric layers and avoid hitting the ground ( lithobraking ) or burning up . For many orbital space flights , initial deceleration is provided by the retrofiring of the craft 's rocket engines , perturbing the orbit ( by lowering perigee down into the atmosphere ) onto a suborbital trajectory . Many spacecraft in low - Earth orbit ( e.g. , nanosatellites or spacecraft that have run out of station keeping fuel or are otherwise non-functional ) solve the problem of deceleration from orbital speeds through using atmospheric drag ( aerobraking ) to provide initial deceleration . In all cases , once initial deceleration has lowered the orbital perigee into the mesosphere , all spacecraft lose most of the remaining speed , and therefore kinetic energy , through the atmospheric drag effect of aerobraking . Intentional aerobraking is achieved by orienting the returning space craft so as to present the heat shields forward toward the atmosphere to protect against the high temperatures generated by atmospheric compression and friction caused by passing through the atmosphere at hypersonic speeds . The thermal energy is dissipated mainly by compression heating the air in a shockwave ahead of the vehicle using a blunt heat shield shape , with the aim of minimising the heat entering the vehicle . Sub-orbital space flights , being at a much lower speed , do not generate anywhere near as much heat upon re-entry . Even if the orbiting objects are expendable , most space authorities are pushing toward controlled re-entries to minimize hazard to lives and property on the planet . History ( edit ) Sputnik 1 was the first human - made object to achieve orbital spaceflight . It was launched on 4 October 1957 by the Soviet Union . Vostok 1 , launched by the Soviet Union on 12 April 1961 , carrying Yuri Gagarin , was the first successful human spaceflight to reach Earth orbit . Vostok 6 , launched by the Soviet Union on 16 June 1963 , carrying Valentina Tereshkova , was the first successful woman carrying out a spaceflight to reach Earth orbit .

He is voiced by Scott Weinger when speaking and Brad Kane when singing . Princess Jasmine ( edit ) Main article : Princess Jasmine Jasmine is the rebellious princess of Agrabah , who flees the palace in revolt to her obligation to be married to a prince . While on the run , she meets Aladdin in the streets , and later becomes his wife . She is voiced by Linda Larkin when speaking and Lea Salonga when singing . Genie ( edit ) Main article : Genie ( Disney ) Genie is a jinni and is never given a proper name . He was portrayed by Robin Williams in the first film . Following a contract dispute between Williams and the Walt Disney Company , Dan Castellaneta voiced the Genie throughout the direct - to - video feature The Return of Jafar , as well as the television series , before Williams reprised the role for the final installment , Aladdin and the King of Thieves , as well as for the character 's own mini-series , Great Minds Think for Themselves . Jim Meskimen took over the role in Disney Think Fast ( 2008 ) and Kinect : Disneyland Adventures ( 2011 ) and currently voices him , after Williams ' death in 2014 . After Williams ' death in 2014 , a dedicated drawing of the Genie appeared at the end of the first film on television programs . Jafar ( edit ) Main article : Jafar ( Disney ) As Royal Vizier of Agrabah , Jafar was presented as the Sultan 's most trusted and loyal councilman . Imperious , Jafar held passionate disdain for the Sultan , and dedicated the latter half of his life to gaining ownership of a magic lamp containing an all - powerful genie -- to that end , he would control cosmic power , to which he would use to overtake the kingdom and the world at large . He is voiced by Jonathan Freeman . Iago ( edit ) Main article : Iago ( Disney ) Iago ( voiced by Gilbert Gottfried ) is the sidekick to Jafar . The red - plumed talking bird is an apparent homage to an identically - named red parrot in the Tintin adventure The Castafiore Emerald . Abu ( edit ) Abu First appearance Aladdin ( 1992 ) Created by Joe Grant Voiced by Frank Welker Species Monkey Elephant ( temporarily ) Gender Male Abu ( voiced by Frank Welker ) is Aladdin 's kleptomaniac monkey partner with a high - pitched voice and can talk a little . The animators filmed monkeys at the San Francisco Zoo to study the movements Abu would have . The character is based on the similarly named Abu the thief , played by Sabu Dastagir in the 1940 version of The Thief of Bagdad . In the first film , Abu is seen accompanying Aladdin during his daily adventures as they try to steal food to live . When Abu and Aladdin finally are about to eat , they see two children looking for food among garbage , and Abu is forced to share his stolen food with them when Aladdin voluntarily does so . After Aladdin gets arrested by Razoul on Jafar 's orders , Abu enters the dungeon but is unable to free his friend . It is a disguised Jafar who frees them in a plan to use Aladdin to get access to the Cave of Wonders and retrieve the Genie 's lamp . Inside the cave after finding a magic carpet who leads them to the lamp , Abu disobeys the command of the guardian of the cave and tries to steal a ruby , which causes a cave - in and almost costs his and Aladdin 's lives . When they are about to exit the cave , Aladdin gives Jafar the lamp and , in turn , Jafar is about to kill Aladdin , but Abu attacks him back and takes the lamp back . After meeting the Genie , Aladdin wishes to become a prince and Abu is transformed into an elephant as part of the disguise . Abu is transformed back to his original form by Jafar during the climax of the film , when he is about to attack the sorcerer . Abu and Aladdin are later sent by Jafar to a far - off place but return to Agrabah using the Magic Carpet . Once in Agrabah , Abu fights and subdues Iago , but is transformed into a toy monkey by Jafar when he tries to take the lamp back . Abu returns once again to his original form at the end of the film when Jafar is defeated . In The Return of Jafar , Abu is first seen taking treasures from Abis Mal and his men , with Aladdin distributing them among the poor people of Agrabah , against Abu 's will . He is initially skeptical of Iago 's reform , but eventually warms up to him . Abu is one of the first to know about Jafar 's return , and is imprisoned along with the Genie . Abu and the others are freed by the Genie who was in turned freed by Iago . Abu participates in the final battle against Jafar . In Aladdin and the King of Thieves , Abu goes with Aladdin to find his father and later to the Vanishing Isle . Abu plays a supporting role in the TV series , often accompanying Aladdin in his adventures . In the episode `` Much Abu About Something '' , he is worshipped by a lost civilization as their great protector . During his time working with a group of circus performers , during the two - part episode `` Seems Like Old Crimes '' , he met his friend Aladdin . Throughout the series , he is occasionally shown at odds with Iago , but several episodes portray them as close friends with a friendly rivalry . Abu also appears in both Kingdom Hearts and Kingdom Hearts II , playing a large role in the latter with his kleptomanic habits getting him into trouble during Sora 's first return visit to Agrabah . He can also be seen in House of Mouse as one of the many Disney characters that come to watch cartoons . Abu is usually found in the audience , sometimes playing with Iago or dancing along to the musical performances on stage . Magic Carpet ( edit ) Magic Carpet First appearance Aladdin ( 1992 ) Created by Randy Cartwright Voiced by N / A ( silent character ) Aliases Carpet The Magic Carpet is an ancient carpet that was found by Aladdin in the Cave of Wonders ' treasure room . It is a character without a voice , and expresses itself entirely through pantomime and movements . It is genderless , but is often assumed to be male by Genie and other characters . It is playful , as it reacts with Abu , intelligent , as it beats the Genie at chess ( and most other things ) , and helpful , as it helps Aladdin romance Princess Jasmine during the song `` A Whole New World '' . It sometimes uses its tassels as hands and feet to accentuate its feelings . The unique faux - Persian design of Carpet was solely maintained through CGI . Advances in CGI had progressed so much since animating the ballroom sequence in Beauty and the Beast that the texture and pattern of Carpet was much easier to accomplish no matter which way it moved . Animator Randy Cartwright refused to resort to the anthropomorphic style of simply putting a face on a carpet . Instead , Cartwright used body language to make Carpet more flexible , and almost human . Computer artist Tina Price took Cartwright 's outlined form and super-imposed the Persian design that could stretch , squash , and roll up without changing . According to movie critic Leonard Maltin , this made Carpet 's animation one of the best collaborations between traditional and technologically advanced animation to date . It was first discovered by Abu in the film , who assumed he was seeing things , as it would be playful with him until it was within Aladdin 's line of sight , wherein it would appear as a normal inanimate object . It is an old friend of The Genie ; he states that he had not seen it `` in a few millennia . '' After Aladdin extends his hand in friendship , Carpet becomes instantly and absolutely loyal to him . It first helps him and Abu find the magic lamp that they were sent in to retrieve , becomes instrumental in helping them escape the cave during the meltdown sequence triggered after Abu touches a forbidden gem , and finally saves them from falling to their deaths by pulling itself out from under a large boulder after Jafar betrays them . In addition , a running gag has it beating Genie at nearly every game they play , much to his distress . When Aladdin romances Jasmine during the song `` A Whole New World '' , it plays a key role as it takes them on a romantic flight . Another important part it plays is Aladdin 's first solitary encounter with Jasmine as ' Prince Ali ' . Jasmine pretends to seduce Aladdin , before pulling his turban over his eyes and telling him to ' jump off the balcony ' . At which point Aladdin apologizes for treating her like a ' prize to be won ' . He gets onto the rail of the balcony and steps off , but Jasmine does n't know that the carpet is there , and thinks he is committing suicide . She calls out ' No ! ' and then sees his head pop up going `` What ? What ? '' , at which point Jasmine discovers the carpet and is invited for a ride by ' Prince Ali ' . Carpet is also responsible for their first kiss , as it shoots upwards about a foot , causing them to kiss each other by accident , ( neither of them mind though ) . Many people consider Carpet as the character who actually sets their relationship in motion . It 's magically unraveled by Sorcerer Jafar in the climactic scene , but becomes whole again when he 's foiled . In the second film , it engages in combat with Jafar once more , and is turned into glass and shattered . It 's again restored when Jafar 's finally killed by a reformed Iago , who pushes his lamp into the magma . In the third film , it transports Aladdin to places such as the 40 Thieves ' hideout , though Cassim insists that they return to Agrabah on horseback ; `` It 's a rug . You sweep dirt under it . You do n't fly on it . At least I do n't ! '' Eventually in the end , Cassim warms up to it , ordering it to save both him and Aladdin as the Vanishing Isle starts to sink away . It appears in episodes of the animated series , both as a means of travel and a reacting character to the events of the stories . In one episode , Abis Mal kidnaps the carpet and stitches it to the sail of his ship . The magic of the carpet is strong enough to levitate an entire ship . It is also in the Kingdom Hearts video game in the Agrabah world . Sora frees it , at which point it acts as a transport between the city of Agrabah and the Cave of Wonders . In the second installment , it plays a more key role . In Walt Disney World 's Magic Kingdom , there is a ride called The Magic Carpets of Aladdin in Adventureland , which simulates flight on a carpet . There are two others versions in the world : Flying Carpets Over Agrabah in Toon Studio at the park Walt Disney Studios Park in France and Jasmine 's Flying Carpets is located in Arabian Coast at the park Tokyo DisneySea . The Sultan ( edit ) Sultan First appearance Aladdin ( 1992 ) Voiced by Douglas Seale ( first film ) Val Bettin ( sequels and TV series ) Jeff Bennett ( Disney Princess Enchanted Tales : Follow Your Dreams ) Gender Male Title Sultan Family Sultana ( wife ; deceased ) Jasmine ( daughter ) Relatives Aladdin ( son - in - law ) Nationality Arabian The Sultan ( real name : Hamed Bobolonius II ) is Princess Jasmine 's father and the pompous but kind ruler of Agrabah . Some aspects of the character were inspired in the Wizard of Oz , to create a bumbling authority figure . He was voiced by Douglas Seale in the first film , by Val Bettin in the sequels and the TV series , and by Jeff Bennett in Disney Princess Enchanted Tales : Follow Your Dreams . In the first film , the Sultan desperately tries to find a suitor for his daughter Princess Jasmine . During the first part of the film , the Sultan is often manipulated by Jafar who uses his staff to hypnotize him . After losing the lamp to Aladdin at the Cave of Wonders , Jafar decides to trick the Sultan into arranging a marriage between himself and Princess Jasmine ; however , the hypnosis is interrupted by the arrival of Aladdin transformed into `` Prince Ali '' . The Sultan approves Prince Ali , but he is later tricked by Jafar and is about to force Jasmine to marry Jafar until Aladdin breaks the staff . The Sultan loses his post as ruler of Agrabah when the Genie grants Jafar his wish to become the new sultan . Jafar makes Jasmine his slave , and the Sultan as his entertainment . The Sultan becomes a marionetted jester , and is tortured by Iago as he force feeds him crackers . He and Jasmine are fortunately saved by Aladdin and free from their humiliation . At the end of the film , the Sultan changes the law so the princess can marry whomever she loves . In The Return of Jafar , the Sultan announces that he wants to make Aladdin his new grand vizier . However , he grows suspicious of Aladdin after he defends Iago , who used to work for Jafar , and commands him to watch the bird . When Jafar returns , he takes advantage of Iago 's new position as an `` ally '' to Aladdin , and makes him suggest the Sultan and Aladdin to have a discussion in a place where they are ambushed by Jafar and Abis Mal . The Sultan is imprisoned along with Aladdin 's friends , and Jafar uses his turban to frame Aladdin for his ' murder ' . Luckily , Iago manages to free Genie , who then saves Aladdin from his wrongful punishment as well as the Sultan and the rest of their friends . After Iago manages to defeat Jafar by kicking his lamp into the magma , the Sultan pardons Iago and welcomes him toward his family . He is later seen at the end of the film , again requesting Aladdin to become his vizier . In the TV series , it is revealed that he is quite adept with mechanics ( Getting the Bugs Out ) , and his nickname is Little Bobo ( as revealed in `` As the Netherworld Turns '' ) . Twenty years before the episode `` Garden of Evil '' , the Sultan picked a flower for his new bride , angering the garden 's owner , Arbutus . He was allowed to go free on the condition that in twenty years , Arbutus could take the Sultan 's most valuable possession , which turns out to be his daughter . In Aladdin and the King of Thieves , the Sultan meets Aladdin 's father , Cassim , not knowing he is the King of Thieves , and immediately accepts him . However , Razoul later reveals to the Sultan that Cassim is the King of Thieves and , with no other choice , the Sultan has Razoul incarcerate Cassim in the dungeon for life . After Aladdin helps Cassim escape the dungeon , and comes back to accept the consequences for his actions , the Sultan prepares to punish Aladdin in anger for freeing Cassim , but the Genie and Princess Jasmine come to his defense , stating that all he wanted was to give his father a second chance . The Sultan accepts his apology . At the end of the film , his wish of seeing Princess Jasmine marrying someone comes true when she marries Aladdin . The Sultan plays a minor role in Disney Princess Enchanted Tales : Follow Your Dreams , giving Jasmine the job of `` Royal Assistant Educator '' at the Royal Academy . Later , one of his most precious horses , Sahara , is missing from the stables , so Princess Jasmine , along with Iago , Abu and Carpet , go to find Sahara and return him to the palace . Like many Disney characters , the Sultan can be found in the TV series House of Mouse . He can normally be found clapping with the audience at the end of a cartoon , right alongside Princess Jasmine . Royal guards ( edit ) Razoul , Fazahl , Hakim and Zagoolien First appearance Aladdin ( 1992 ) Voiced by Razoul : Jim Cummings Fazahl : Frank Welker ( first film and TV series ) Jim Cummings ( `` Sneeze the Day '' ) Hakim : Frank Welker ( The Return of Jafar and TV series ) Jim Cummings ( `` Sneeze the Day '' ) Corey Burton ( Aladdin and the King of Thieves ) Zagoolien : Jeff Bennett Aliases The Royal Guards The Royal Guards serve as the law enforcement for Agrabah where they patrol the palace and the streets of Agrabah : Razoul ( edit ) Razoul ( voiced by Jim Cummings ) is the Captain of the Royal Guards of Agrabah in all three films . Although unnamed ( on - screen ) in the first film , his name was revealed in the sequel ( he was named after layout supervisor Rasoul Azadani ) . During Aladdin 's life as a thief on the streets of Agrabah , Razoul chased Aladdin around with the other palace guards , although during the beginning of the first film , Aladdin gets away , causing Razoul and some of his men ( Fazahl , Hakim , and Zagoolien ) to fall into a stinky pile of manure . When Razoul finally succeeded in arresting Aladdin , he knocked Princess Jasmine to the ground , not recognizing her as the princess . When she revealed her true identity , he was shocked at seeing her outside the palace for the first time . When she ordered him to release Aladdin , he apologized and said that his orders came from Jafar , saying that Princess Jasmine will have to take it out with Jafar in order to secure Aladdin 's release . Even after Aladdin is accepted as Princess Jasmine 's boyfriend , Razoul still completely despises him , but nonetheless tolerates his presence in the palace . In the second film , Jafar , disguised as Jasmine , has Razoul arrest Aladdin for the murder of the Sultan and has him sentenced to death , but he was prevented by Genie and was presumably punished by the Sultan for falling into Jafar 's trick . During the TV series episode `` Forget Me Lots '' , when Princess Jasmine lost her memory from the Rose of Forgetfulness , Razoul was more than happy to throw Aladdin , Iago , and Abu out of the palace and into the streets , thinking that the princess had rejected Aladdin . Razoul also admitted his opinion that Aladdin was a power hungry street rat in `` Destiny on Fire '' when he and Aladdin were forced to work together , though he also admitted that he would consider calling Aladdin `` your highness '' if he got rid of Iago . In the episode `` The Return of Malcho '' , he questions Aladdin 's ability to run Agrabah as the temporary Sultan , but Aladdin proves otherwise , even with the challenges that lay before him and having to put up with both his and Iago 's pointless advice on how the real Sultan should act until Aladdin decided to do things his own way . In the end , Razoul helps Aladdin get rid of Malcho . In the third film , Razoul arrested Cassim and Iago for trying to steal The Oracle , but Aladdin helped his father escape . Razoul arrested Aladdin once more , but was knocked unconscious by Cassim . Though he tried to have Aladdin charged for this crime , Razoul 's request was denied as the Sultan decided to overlook the matter , since Aladdin only broke Cassim out of prison out of love and came back to face punishment for his actions . Later , he is shown at Aladdin and Princess Jasmine 's wedding , and is last seen catching Princess Jasmine 's wedding bouquet . Razoul shows no sympathy towards any type of criminals and takes pleasure and pride from the authority he commands , notably seen when witnessing the Forty Thieves attack on the palace during Aladdin and Princess Jasmine 's wedding . Angrily , he declares `` not in THIS palace '' before trying to repel the thieves . Despite his vicious tendencies , he does not have the same crazed lust for power as characters such as Jafar . When Aladdin was arrested for the alleged murder of the Sultan in The Return of Jafar , Razoul was obviously pleased that Aladdin was finally in a cell , and certainly not fazed by the order to execute him . He seems to enjoy acts of violence and particularly killing , although he only commits them under orders , knowing of the consequences if he behaves otherwise . This was seen when he readily tried to drown Aladdin ( in disguise as Prince Ali ) in the ocean under Jafar 's orders ( although it can be assumed that Jafar hypnotized him with the snake staff and / or told him Prince Ali was a traitor or a spy ) . Despite their mutual dislike for each other , Razoul will not hesitate to save Aladdin 's life if necessary , demonstrated in `` Mudder 's Day '' when Aladdin is buried under a rockslide and Razoul is the first ( and only ) one to rush to his rescue , and in `` The Secret of Dagger Rock '' , Razoul and the guards are sent by the Sultan to find and rescue Aladdin , though Razoul mutters `` risking our lives for a lousy street rat '' . In `` Destiny on Fire '' , Razoul stops Aladdin and his friends from going in the palace when they find it in ruins ( Razoul had escaped as everyone turned into slugs ) and later prevents Aladdin from falling for a trap . In each of the three films , Genie saves Aladdin from Razoul . In the first , he saves Aladdin 's life after Razoul throws him in the ocean , and in the second he saves Aladdin from being beheaded by Razoul after Razoul was duped into believing Aladdin had murder the Sultan and been sentenced to death by Princess Jasmine who was totally Jafar in disguise . In the third film , Razoul wants to punish Aladdin for freeing his father from the palace dungeons , but Genie sends him flying away with a rocket - propelled suitcase . Fazahl ( edit ) Fazahl ( voiced by Frank Welker , understudied by Jim Cummings in `` Sneeze the Day '' ) is one of the guards of Agrabah . He is darkly colored and very fat , with a long mustache . His lines usually make reference to food . Hakim ( edit ) Hakim ( voiced by Frank Welker in The Return of Jafar and the TV series , Jim Cummings in `` Sneeze the Day , '' Corey Burton in Aladdin and the King of Thieves ) is one of the guards of Agrabah . He is pale , very thin and tall . His lines generally put a pessimistic take on the situation . Zagoolien ( edit ) Zagoolien ( voiced by Jeff Bennett ) is one of the guards of Agrabah . He is slightly paler and less fat than Fazahl . Rajah ( edit ) Rajah First appearance Aladdin ( 1992 ) Voiced by Frank Welker Species Bengal tiger Gender Male Rajah ( voiced by Frank Welker ) is Princess Jasmine 's pet tiger which displays dog and cat - like behavior ... Unlike Abu , he is not anthropomorphized , but is still able to understand human language and emotions , as seen when he is surprised by the revelation of Princess Jasmine that she has never had a true friend ( except for Rajah himself ) , or when he assists her in her escape from the palace . In the first film , Rajah is distrustful towards Aladdin at first , but later warms up to him . He also takes part in the battle against Jafar , but is turned into a cub and imprisoned in a bird cage . He is returned to his original form at the end of the film after Aladdin finally defeats Jafar . At the beginning of the film , when the Sultan is exasperated by Jasmine 's rejection of yet another suitor ( who , incidentally leaves because Rajah bit the seat of his trousers off ) , the Sultan says ' Allah forbid you should have any daughters ! ' to Rajah , implying that one woman is enough . It is revealed in a children 's book based on Aladdin that Princess Jasmine adopted Rajah as a cub when she felt lonely without a friend and the Sultan gave her Rajah as a gift . During the Sultan 's meal in The Return of Jafar , Rajah fiercely chases Iago into the room , which makes everyone discover Iago is back . In the Aladdin TV series , Rajah mainly served as a minor recurring character , though the only major part he played was in the episode `` SandSwitch '' when he teamed up with Abu and Iago in undoing Sadira 's spell when she magically switched places with Princess Jasmine , since only the memories of the animals were unaffected . In Aladdin and the King of Thieves , Rajah is seen carrying Jasmine 's bridal veil . In Disney Princess Enchanted Tales : Follow Your Dreams , Rajah is seen delivering Jasmine her agenda . She later calls him to try to scare the children of the Royal Academy , but the children end up chasing Rajah and Jasmine into the mud and up a tree . The Peddler ( edit ) The Peddler First appearance Aladdin ( 1992 ) Voiced by Robin Williams ( speaking ) Bruce Adler ( singing ) The Peddler ( voiced by Robin Williams , singing voice by Bruce Adler ) is a mysterious merchant who appears at the beginning of the original film , and later reappeared in the ending of Aladdin and the King of Thieves . The entire Peddler scene was improvised by Williams as the actor was put in front of a table with props , and started pitching them as products from a salesman 's catalogue . He implores the viewer to ' come closer ' , a reference to actor Sydney Greenstreet 's many film trailers . In the original ending of Aladdin , the Peddler was revealed to be the Genie masquerading as a human , but this was cut from the final film . The directors of the movie later revealed that the Peddler is still the Genie , despite the ending being deleted . He appears in the Kingdom Hearts series , voiced by Corey Burton , and plays a major role in Kingdom Hearts II where his greed and shrewdness are presented . Tiger God ( cave of Wonders ) ( edit ) Cave of Wonders First appearance Aladdin ( 1992 ) Voiced by Frank Welker The Tiger God ( voiced by Frank Welker ) is a giant head of a tiger made of sand and the neutral guardian of the Cave of Wonders . Its job is to protect the Genie 's lamp and give it to those who are worthy while eliminating those who are n't . The treasures hoarded inside the cave are used to test those who are worthy to enter as touching them will also cause the Tiger God to eliminate them as well . It was done by computer - generated imagery , following reference drawings by animator Eric Goldberg . In the film , the Tiger God was awakened by Jafar and Gazeem using the two halves of the scarab medallion , which formed the cave 's eyes . Because Gazeem is n't a Diamond in the Rough , it refused to let Gazeem enter , but ( at Jafar 's urging ) goes in anyway and the cave immediately kills him before turning back into a pile of sand and returning to slumber as it quotes `` Seek Thee Out the Diamond in the Rough . '' It was awakened again by Jafar and Aladdin . Since Aladdin is a Diamond in the Rough , it allows him and Abu to enter , but warns them not to touch any of the treasures in the cave except for the lamp . Although Aladdin obeyed the cave 's warning , Abu did not . This angered the Tiger God so much that it claims that they will both perish for ignoring its warning ( despite the fact that only Abu disobeyed the cave 's warning ) and causes the cave to collapse . The magic carpet saves the duo but failed to escape the cave thanks to Jafar and a falling rock and the Tiger God again returns to eternal slumber . Though Genie later gets them out when they first meet him . In the Kingdom Hearts series , the Cave of Wonders served in the games ' storyline , such as the first game when it was under an evil influence before Sora and company gained entry into it . Unlike the movie , it does n't talk . On Disneyland , the Cave of Wonders head is present at the Aladdin 's Oasis open restaurant in Adventureland . The Storybook Land Canal Boats attraction at Disneyland Paris also features a tunnel shaped like the tiger head . Gazeem ( edit ) Gazeem ( voiced by Charlie Adler ) is Jafar 's sidekick seen just at the beginning of Aladdin , he informs Jafar that he has managed to steal the other half of the scarab amulet used to summon the Cave of Wonders , and as soon as the halves form together , it flies off to the cave 's location and they follow on horseback . When the cave forms , it demands to know who woke it up and Gazeem introduces himself . The cave warns him that only one man , the Diamond in the Rough , whom the cave does not identify , may enter . Gazeem seems unable to understand this and thus ignores the warning and prepares to enter . Just before his entry , Jafar tells him that he can have any treasure he likes , but the lamp is his . Gazeem enters the cave and breathes a sigh of relief , when suddenly , the cave roars furiously and collapses . Gazeem frantically tries to escape , but although he is still very close to the entrance , the entire cave roof comes crashing down with amazing speed , as if the cave was closing its mouth . The cave collapses and Gazeem remains trapped inside , presumably forever , much to Jafar 's shock and anger . Having lost his accomplice , Jafar realizes that Gazeem was not the Diamond in the Rough , and sets out to find this particular man who can enter the cave . When Aladdin and Abu enter the cave later on , Gazeem is nowhere to be seen , so he is presumed to have been crushed to death when the cave collapsed . Prince Achmed ( edit ) Prince Achmed ( voiced by Corey Burton ) is one of the potential suitors for Princess Jasmine . On his way to the palace , he nearly hits two peasant children with a bullwhip when they get in his way , but Aladdin intervenes and insults him . In retaliation , Achmed publicly humiliates Aladdin by kicking him into a mud puddle and telling Aladdin that he is nothing but a `` worthless street rat '' and will always be one . The next day , he last seen furiously stomping out of the palace with his pants ripped and underwear showing , yelling that he had never been so insulted . Achmed tells the Sultan to have good luck marrying her daughter off . After that , Achmed is not seen again for the remainder of the franchise . Farouk ( edit ) Farouk ( voiced by Jim Cummings ) is a merchant from a fruit stand . When he sees Jasmine gives an apple to a hungry boy without paying , he is about to cut off her right arm , but Aladdin stops him by claiming Princess Jasmine is his mentally handicapped sister ( even going far by having Princess Jasmine to pretend that she believes that Abu is the Sultan ) . The return of Jafar ( edit ) Abis Mal ( edit ) Abis Mal First appearance The Return of Jafar ( 1994 ) Voiced by Jason Alexander Abis Mal ( voiced by Jason Alexander ) is a childish and incompetent thief who dreams of enormous riches and does anything he can to get lots of money . His greed for money leads him from a greedy wealthy thief , to a murderous thief . His name is a pun of the word `` abysmal '' , which is a reference to the outcomes of all his plans . The Return of Jafar opens with Abis Mal and his minions in their hideout , stealing money from Agrabah , with Abis Mal deciding to keep all the gold and treasures for himself and only give his men 13 coins for all their work , much to the anger of his gang . Aladdin ultimately intervenes , making a fool out of Abis Mal and taking all the treasure , with the intent to return it to those who need the money . Later , Abis crosses paths with Aladdin on the Agrabah streets , and orders his minions to attack . Abis winds up in another embarrassing defeat when Iago gets in the fray . That evening , while Abis was drawing water from a well , his gang decided they hated and despised their idiotic , double - crossing boss so much that they wanted to kill him . Just before they can strike , though , Abis pulls up a black lamp and unintentionally releases Jafar , scaring Abis 's would - be murderers away in the process . Knowing that , as a genie , he could not directly kill Aladdin , Jafar saw a chance for revenge through Abis 's partnership . Of course , he was still required to grant Abis 's three wishes . Abis 's first wish was to have `` The Legendary Sunken Treasure Ship of Coeur Du Mer '' and Jafar granted it by teleporting himself and Abis to the ship itself , which was at the bottom of the ocean . Unable to breathe underwater , Abis then had to forfeit his second wish to return to the desert . Now down to one wish and threatened by Jafar to work with him if he wanted it , Abis became Jafar 's unfortunate patsy ; however , when he discovered that Jafar desired revenge on Aladdin , Abis willingly decided to go along with him to get his own revenge on Aladdin . The two succeed in capturing all of Aladdin 's friends , with the ultimate finish being that Aladdin would be executed for the murder of the Sultan ( although the real Sultan was still alive and captured ) . With his goals complete , Jafar then offers Abis Mal ( now technically Jafar 's `` master '' ) huge amounts of gold and treasure in return for using his last wish to free Jafar . Abis , however , is not convinced that Jafar 's claim is true and hesitates from wishing , suspecting that after making the wish all the treasure Jafar had conjured would merely vanish . Aladdin quickly moves in to capture Jafar 's lamp in Abis 's moment of hesitation and quickly incurs Jafar 's wrath . During the fight , Abis Mal winds up tangled in a tree , where he stays for the rest of the film . While he is stuck there , Aladdin and his friends battle Jafar and manage to destroy the lamp with Iago 's help , thus destroying Jafar permanently . In the very end after the credits Abis Mal is still tangled in the tree . He then sadly declares `` Does this mean I do n't get my third wish ? '' after the end credits . Abis Mal serves as Aladdin 's most common enemy and one of the main antagonists in the television series with 13 appearances . In the TV series , Abis Mal appears to be quite well off . He continues to have minions in the form of a gang of various thieves who do his bidding and he often buys magic items which he uses in his schemes . Abis Mal 's usual plans involve looking for an ancient or powerful magic to conquer the Agrabah throne , looking for ancient and valuable treasures , or seeking revenge on Aladdin for always ruining his plans . He also seems fixated on getting himself a larger hat , and frequently had eyes for the Sultan 's . In the episode `` Lost and Founded '' , Abis Mal meets an ancestor of himself , Abnor Mal ( pun on `` abnormal '' ) , and tries to make him founder of Agrabah instead of the Sultan and Princess Jasmine 's ancestor , Hamed . Although he can be perceived as a primary villain in the Aladdin franchise , Abis Mal is largely a comic relief character , as his plans to become rich and powerful always end in one hilarious failure after another . In one typical example in `` Forget Me Lots '' , Abis Mal actually succeeded in turning Princess Jasmine into the most evil and ruthless ruler of Agrabah that ever was ; however his plan to use her as a figurehead ruler backfired when she actually began to rule instead of him . Another time when his plan to use whirlwinds backfires on him as usual , his henchman Haroud Hazi Bin breaks the fourth wall and remarks how his boss is available for children 's parties . In the episode `` When Chaos Comes Calling '' , when Genie was having a show and tell of various guest villains , he shows three together ; Abis Mal , Mozenrath and Mechanicles . In The Return of Jafar , he postponed making his third wish in order to get revenge on Aladdin . He never got his third wish from Jafar , but in the episode `` Some Enchanted Genie '' , in which the Genie 's girlfriend Eden first appears , Abis Mal gets his hands on Eden 's bottle and uses all three of the wishes that holding the bottle entitles him to . All of his wishes backfire or come undone , and he is defeated once again . As in The Return of Jafar he once again wastes his wishes trying to cause pain and suffering for Aladdin and his friends . If it were n't for his obsession with getting revenge on Aladdin he probably would have managed to use at least one wish to gain the riches he desires . However , it also may be that he did n't wish for money from Eden because he already had all the money he desired , as he has been shown to be a very competent thief . This means he has wasted a total of five wishes . This makes Abis Mal the only character to have become the master of two genies instead of one Television series ( edit ) Amin Damoola ( edit ) Amin Damoola ( voiced by Jeff Bennett ) is a clumsy , cowardly , and incompetent thief , who appears in four episodes . Amin always finds a way to cause trouble for Aladdin ( and usually ends up in trouble himself ) . Some of these ways are stealing a magical glove , creating a large green dragon , and getting a bunch of magical tools from Mozenrath . In his last episode he was working for Mozenrath , and failed him ; Mozenrath had given Amin a choice : succeed in stealing the Sultan and become the greatest thief of Agrabah , or face Mozenrath 's anger and regret the day he was born . Mozenrath did not take that too well , and it is likely that he possibly turned him into a mamluck ( zombie ) or killed him ruthlessly . However , since Amin makes a fourth appearance in the episode Sneeze the Day , Mozenrath may have forgiven him ( or maybe Amin already paid his penalty or escaped Mozenrath 's wrath -- or it may be out of place in the chronology of the series ) . His first name ( Amin ) is common in Arabic , but his last name ( Damoola ) is a play - on - words referring to his insatiable greed i.e. I 'm in da moola ( the money ) . Amin 's voice is an impression of Peter Sellers as Inspector Clouseau with a slight Arabian tint . Amin is so incompetent as a thief that he is nicknamed `` Butterfingers '' . However , he dislikes this nickname so much that he is willing to start a fight . Arbutus ( edit ) Arbutus ( voiced by Ron Perlman ) is a sorcerer who only appeared in the episode `` Garden of Evil '' . He has the power to make vegetation and flora immediately grow and manipulate them to his will . His name comes from the genus of trees called Arbutus . While not evil in nature , he has more in common with plants than with humans and sees most humans as enemies for killing his beautiful works of art for their crass purposes ( wood for heat and smoke which blocks the sun , flowers to die slowly in vases , etc . ) . He sees himself as an artist and makes most plants grow with the intention of creating something beautiful , even during battle . He is especially appreciative of ' living beauty ' and while he prefers plants he is aware that other organisms such as birds and even humans can enhance his artwork . Many years ago , a younger Sultan came to the garden of Arbutus because he had heard that the most beautiful flowers grew there , to pick a flower for his bride . Arbutus did not attempt to harm the Sultan upon his entry , as he admired the beauty of the garden . But the sorcerer was enraged when the Sultan plucked a flower , effectively killing it . In order to allow the Sultan to go free he demanded that in 20 years time he be given the Sultan 's most precious treasure . Desperate to escape and not fully grasping Arbutus ' meaning , the Sultan quickly agreed and hurried away . Twenty years later , Arbutus came to Agrabah for the Sultan 's most precious treasure -- Jasmine . At no point in the episode does he make any attempt to physically harm Jasmine despite holding her captive , and even befriends her briefly due to her gentle words , her appreciation of his artwork , and the fact that she is named after a flower . Arbutus ' only weakness is the rose on his lapel . Once it is cut off , he withers and dies , as does the beautiful garden which he created . Princess Jasmine explains to Aladdin that Arbutus is not evil , only `` different '' , and she , Aladdin , the Sultan and the Genie replant the flower , which perks up , and a deep inhalation is heard , suggesting that he will return to life in time . Arbutus bears an uncanny resemblance to Jafar . Aziz ( edit ) Aziz ( voiced by Michael Bell ) is one of Aladdin 's first adversaries in the series . He is a small and ugly man , later turned to a goblin - like creature who can use his breath for almost anything , including attack , create illusions of entire deserts , or even turning people into small slug - like beings . It is apparent in the episode `` Destiny on Fire '' that these powers come with a price , as throughout the episode , Aziz seems to have a short breath and eventually goes on fire . Aziz first appears in the two part episode `` Seems Like Old Crimes '' as a part of a small traveling circus along with his friends Fatima ( Charity James ) and Minos ( Keith David ) . They use the monkey Abu to pickpocket their audience , but eventually hire the young Aladdin to do this instead . When Aladdin objects to stripping innocent citizens of all their money , Minos brings him in on their plan to steal the fabled Destiny Stone . Aladdin , Minos , Fatima , Aziz , and Abu go to the ruins where the Destiny Stone is kept . When the trio attempt to steal the Destiny Stone , they are instead trapped inside , while Aladdin and Abu escape . Many years later , the three of them escape . Aziz has become a goblin , Minos has become a minotaur and Fatima has become a harpy . With their newfound powers , the three of them go on a crime spree in Agrabah , eventually setting their eyes on conquering the city and getting revenge on Aladdin for causing them to be trapped for many years , and in Fatima 's case , for turning her into a monster . They eventually return to the temple where the Destiny Stone was held , where after a brief conversation with Princess Jasmine , Minos and Fatima , who have mutual love for each other decide not to kill Aladdin , which causes Aziz to turn against them and attack them with his magic breath . The Destiny Stone thus turns Minos and Fatima back into humans , while Aziz prefers to keep his powers and escapes . Aziz is defeated in the episode `` Destiny on Fire '' , where he uses his breath to transform all of Agrabah 's people to slug - like creatures and take over the palace , as well as bind Aladdin and Razoul together with a magic handcuff after noticing their own personal dislike towards the other . Eventually , Aladdin and Razoul notice that overuse of Aziz 's magic breath causes him to go on fire . When they have him try to destroy each other , Aziz eventually explodes and turns into three stars in the sky . Chaos ( edit ) Chaos ( voiced by Matt Frewer ) is a winged blue cat who desires that life be unpredictable , full of surprise and change . Chaos is an extremely powerful entity of whom both Mirage and the Genie are terrified . He is a fun - loving prankster and uses his power for antics and light - hearted harassment rather than intentional , malicious evil . He does get angry and sensitive when people start giving him orders , and often warns them in a threatening voice not to do so . He also has a strong dislike of Fate , since the notion of predestination rubs him up the wrong way . Like Genie , his magical tricks tend to reference other media . Chaos possesses several traits similar to the Cheshire Cat from Disney 's Alice in Wonderland , such as disappearing , leaving only his grin behind , and leaving footprints before actually appearing . Eden ( edit ) Eden ( voiced by Valery Pappas ) is the Genie 's girlfriend . She is first introduced in the episode `` Some Enchanted Genie '' and only appears in one other episode ; `` The Book of Khartoum '' . The Genie falls in love with her at first sight and tries to impress her by granting her master free wishes . Initially taken aback by his sudden appearance , she eventually agrees to a date and the two fall in love . Her master is an optimistic young orphan named Dhandi . Although her first wish is simply to have enough food to prevent her being hungry for the rest of her life , Dhandi sacrifices her second wish to prevent Aladdin and the Genie from being turned into cockroaches by Abis Mal when he had the bottle . In the end , Dhandi accidentally uses her last wish to make Eden stay with her forever , postponing the Genie 's romance until Dhandi 's life ends . However , Eden tells Genie that she is all that Dhandi has and that she can not just leave her at that point in life , to which Genie understands . The two tell each other that they will wait until the time comes that they will finally be together . In the episode `` The Book of Khartoum '' , Eden visits Genie to go on a date . Genie misses the date because he has been captured by Mozenrath , who wants to use him to power a furnace that will create the philosopher 's stone , which he will use to become `` the most powerful wizard ever . '' Mozenrath discovers that just one genie ca n't provide enough power to the furnace to create the philosopher 's stone , so he is happy when Eden shows up to rescue him . He tricks her into agreeing to exchange herself for Genie , but Mozenrath double crosses her . He traps her with the Genie and uses their combined power to heat the furnace and create the philosopher 's stone . It is likely that Eden agreed to the deal even knowing that Mozenrath might double cross her , because she knew she would get free somehow . Otherwise , Dhandi 's last wish would n't be fulfilled . She knew the laws of the cosmos would cause her to be freed somehow so she could stay with Dhandi for the rest of her life . After Mozenrath double crosses Eden and finishes making the stone , he is double crossed himself by Khartoum , a sorcerer trapped in the Book of Khartoum . Khartoum was the one who told Mozenrath to make the stone . Khartoum uses the stone to become free and is on the verge of taking out Mozenrath when Aladdin frees the Genie and Eden while the two sorcerers are distracted . The two genies have been weakened , but they restore their power with the Genie embrace and take the philosopher 's stone away from Khartoum , who then becomes trapped in the book again . The philosopher 's stone becomes so powerful that it 's about to self - destruct , so the genies take it into the sky where it wo n't hurt anyone , then return to Agrabah for their date . Unlike Genie , Eden has five fingers instead of four . Her name was most likely intended as a nod to Barbara Eden , who played a genie in a bottle in the 60 's sitcom I Dream of Jeannie . Mechanicles ( edit ) Mechanicles ( pronounced `` Meh - KANN - ih - kleez '' , sometimes misspelled `` Mechanikles '' , voiced by Charlie Adler ) is a mad scientist who seems to be of an ancient Greek culture ( always styling himself as `` greatest of the great Greek geniuses '' ) , he is known for being able to make complex technological robots resembling insects ( particularly beetles ) , and other arthropods such as scorpions , in a range of sizes from minuscule to gigantic , almost always with what appears to be a consistent usage of copper alloys such as bronze ( especially for their outer casings ) , which he uses for his various plots . His right eye is aided by a form of `` telescopic monocle '' which could assist him in building the intricate details of his machines . When he first appeared in `` Getting the Bugs Out '' , he was attacking a distant village with large robotic beetles , even managing to capture the Genie and the Magic Carpet -- forcing Aladdin to face the fact that he had become too dependent on them and had begun to take them for granted -- before the group found him and destroyed his largest , greatest robot . Other than his large ego , Mechanicles seems to have an obsessive - compulsive need for cleanliness and order ; Aladdin and the other heroes usually find themselves able to distract him by doing something simple , for example spilling oil on his home 's tile floor . This obsessive - compulsive disorder seems to be the plot behind his schemes , for example ; he tried to turn the entire desert into glass because glass is a smooth surface , while sand is shifty and `` dirty '' , or when he stole cargo off a ship to boil the ocean because using steam is a better cleaning technique to clean clothes rather than normal scrubbing . He even attempted to destroy the whole of Thundra 's rainforest with mechanical termites to ensure a perfectly clean world . On another occasion when he managed to assume control of Agrabah using a robotic valet to hypnotise everyone , his primary focus after he had established himself as the new ruler was to begin ordering the city to be cleaned , but this plan was fortunately thwarted when Genie and Carpet -- who were immune to the robot 's hypnotic skills -- managed to free Aladdin from its control and subsequently wrecked the robot from its insides . In `` The Flawed Couple '' , he also made a short - lived alliance with Abis Mal , out of a common desire to exact revenge on Aladdin . Using Abis Mal 's magical `` mood stones '' fixed to Mechanicles ' small robotic beetles , the pair aimed to weaken the heroes and destroy them with a mechanical praying mantis . However , Aladdin was able to resist the power of stones , and like all of Abis Mal 's magical schemes , it backfired upon both himself and Mechanicles . Mechanicles makes a cameo in the Hercules : The Animated Series episode `` Hercules and the Hero of Athens '' , during Icarus ' superhero theme song . Mirage ( edit ) Mirage ( voiced by Bebe Neuwirth ) is one of Aladdin 's recurring enemies in the TV series Aladdin . A cat - like enchantress ( with similarities to both Egyptian goddesses Bast and Sekhmet ) holding powers over illusions , dreams and shadows , her magic powers are enough to create a mirage of Agrabah , its people and Aladdin 's friends . This , combined with her stunning keenness and ruthlessness , makes her a dangerous enemy . Her home ( called Morbia ) appears to be a giant hollow sphinx floating in a dark night sky along with numerous asteroid - like floating rocks drifting aimlessly about . Mirage is inscrutable in her motives . She never provides any insight herself , and other evidence is circumstantial at best . It is possible that she intends to kill Aladdin and his friends and then take over Agrabah ( or the world ) ; she certainly attempts the former several times ; however , she is called `` Evil Incarnate '' during the course of the series , and it is possible that all of her actions are motivated simply by malice . The only reliable evidence is from the mysterious blind magician Phasir , who appears in few episodes of the series and who seems to have some history with Mirage , though it is not expanded on . Her first appearance is in the episode `` In the Heat of the Fright '' , in which she sends several cats of fire to terrorize and destroy a small farming village , a village that Aladdin happens to be passing by on his map - drawing trip downriver . Sparking her ire by defeating her feline minions , she introduces herself to him with scornful interest and an echoing proclamation of `` We are not finished ! '' when she departs . Genie quickly becomes terrified of her and tries to prevent everyone from sleeping on their trip back to Agrabah , but fails and Aladdin , Genie , Carpet , Abu and Iago are drawn into her realm . Vowing to make Aladdin feel fear , she lets her fire cats chase and harass Genie , growing ever larger the more afraid he became . Aladdin saves the day by bolstering everyone 's courage , which causes the fire cats to shrink and eventually disperse . Furious at their defeat , she sends Aladdin and his friends back from her realm with the parting promise of `` This defeat will only fuel my victory the next time , Aladdin '' . In the episode `` Eye of the Beholder '' , she tests Aladdin and Princess Jasmine 's love for each other by turning Princess Jasmine into a poisonous anthropomorphic snake . The attempts initially appeared successfully , rendering Princess Jasmine poisonous to the touch , but when Aladdin turned himself into a snake to be with her , Phasir appeared to Mirage , informing her that she had failed , and lifted the spell on the two of them . In `` The Lost Ones '' , her keenness turned Aladdin 's old friend Amal against him , and in `` While the City Snoozes '' , he had to race against time before his city 's inhabitants became slaves in their sleep . In yet another episode , `` When Chaos Comes Calling '' , she directed an even more powerful entity , the winged feline named Chaos towards Agrabah . However , even Mirage feared Chaos ; she uses quick thinking to avoid a confrontation with him . However , it turns out that at the end of the episode , it is shown that Chaos was manipulating her the whole time , putting her in a situation where she saved the day and thus making life a little more interesting . Despite her malevolent intentions and considerable powers ( such as being able to slice through solid stone with ease and quickly teleporting vast distances , as well as creating convincing disguises ) , she refuses to ' get her hands dirty ' , instead preferring to let others do her work for her , or deceiving her enemies by leading them into dangerous ( and often deadly ) situations . An example is in the episode `` Eye of the Beholder '' , where she swiftly attacks the Genie in retaliation to his charging rush and easily shreds him to pieces ( with the Genie surviving in his typical comical fashion ) , yet she warns Aladdin against rushing at her by saying `` I could tear you apart like I did your Genie , but you 're filled with blood . '' , snidely remarking `` Wise decision '' . when her warning is heeded . Indeed , if her ego were not so great , and her obsession with leading others through elaborate deceptions not so ruling , Aladdin would be a simple foe to dispatch with her abilities . Mozenrath ( edit ) Mozenrath ( voiced by Jonathan Brandis , understudied by Jeff Bennett ) is a young evil sorcerer and necromancer . Almost all of Mozenrath 's power comes from a magical gauntlet he wears over his right arm . Due to the gauntlet 's power , Mozenrath 's right arm has become skeletal and it is implied that the gauntlet will eventually kill him . In the last of his eight appearances in the series , the gauntlet has physically exhausted Mozenrath to the extent that he tries to take over Aladdin 's mind and body ( `` Two to Tangle '' ) . He is the ruler of the Land of the Black Sand , a kingdom where the sand is black , the sun is usually blocked by clouds , and the only residents are himself , his flying eel sidekick Xerxes and an army of undead Mamluks who serve him . He is quite open and accepting about his own cruelty and he prides himself on his ruthlessness . He took control of the Land of the Black Sand from its former ruler , the sorcerer Destane . According to Iago , Destane was `` a real hard case '' , and even Jafar steered clear of him . Mozenrath explained that Destane was like a father to him until he `` stole his power and his throne then he stole his humanity , '' turning him into one of his undead soldiers . Mozenrath 's main goal is to conquer and rule the Seven Deserts , including Agrabah . While he and his undead Mamluk soldiers have secure control over the Land of the Black Sand , they are not powerful enough to conquer the other kingdoms that Mozenrath wants to rule . Because of this , his plots and schemes usually involve obtaining more magic and becoming more powerful . Through the course of the series he tried to kill Aladdin and his friends multiple times . He also attempted to capture the Genie several times so that he could tap his magical energies and use them for his own purposes . In Mozenrath 's debut episode ( `` The Citadel '' ) , Iago referred to the sorcerer as `` Jafar Jr . '' , comparing the two sorcerers ' ambition and cruelty . In the episode `` Black Sand '' , Mozenrath was seen in Jafar 's old room and Iago asked him if he knew Jafar , but despite their similarities there is no connection between Jafar and Mozenrath . Although Mozenrath 's ultimate goal is to rule the Seven Deserts he seems to enjoy bantering with Aladdin and his friends and seems to be in no hurry to defeat them . At his first meeting with Aladdin he is polite and even friendly until Aladdin makes it clear he does not wish to work with Mozenrath . In subsequent appearances Mozenrath often loses interest in his plans as soon as they are defeated and does not attempt to kill Aladdin after their battles have ended . His overall demeanor is one of boredom and impatience . After being defeated by Aladdin multiple times in the course of the series , Mozenrath 's final appearance ends with him losing his gauntlet and being sent away in a giant balloon by the Genie . The original plot idea and draft for the film Aladdin and the King of Thieves , involved Mozenrath as the main antagonist , and it was to be revealed that he and Aladdin are brothers . However , according to one of the writers , it was felt that the film should steer away from the TV show ; this , combined with the fact that Mozenrath 's voice actor , Jonathan Brandis , could not be reached , prompted the writers to come up with a new plot and move onto another one of Aladdin 's family members , his father . Mozenrath was the main antagonist in nine episodes of the series , his tenth appearance being a cameo as one of three guest villains in a show and tell by the Genie . Xerses ( edit ) Xerses ( voiced by Frank Welker ) is a flying eel who is Mozenrath 's sidekick . Mamluks ( edit ) The Mamluks are undead soldiers that serve Mozenrath . Mukhtar ( edit ) The Mukhtar ( voiced by John Kassir ) is a reptilian humanoid , apparently the last surviving member of the race of Mukhtars , sworn enemies of Genies . Though Mukhtars would generally hunt Genies just for the honor , the last Muktar acknowledges that times have changed , and now he hunts Genies for gold . Like Genie , he does not have a specific name . He is often seen riding on a horned reptilian ostrich named `` Saurus '' . The Mukhtar appears in two episodes , `` Genie Hunt '' and `` The Hunted '' . In the former of these , he works for one of Genie 's former masters , Al Gebraic , to capture Genie and put him into his service again . In the latter , he is hired by Mozenrath to capture Genie so that Mozenrath could entrap him in the crystal of Ix and steal his powers , but ends up turning on Mozenrath and helping Aladdin rescue the Genie after he saves him from a giant monstrous killer plant inside Mozenrath 's palace . At the end of the episode , the Genie and Mukhtar part as friends . Saurus ( edit ) Saurus ( voiced by Frank Welker ) is a bipedal dinosaur - like creature with an eagle head and is the pet of the Mukhtar . He appears in `` Genie Hunt '' and `` The Hunted '' . His name means `` lizard '' ( hence dinosaur meaning `` terrible lizard '' ) . He is known to eat living ( and sometimes small ) animals ( such as a moth ) . In the end of `` The Hunted '' he and his owner both became pals with the Genie and his friends . Phasir ( edit ) Phasir ( voiced by Ed Gilbert ) appears frequently through the series . His first appearance is in the episode `` Do the Rat Thing '' , but he is not named or given any background until the episode `` The Prophet Motive '' , where he is identified as Phasir , an old seer and powerful wizard who turned his evil giant brother , Fashoom , into stone many centuries ago . The end of that episode also reveals that he actually has a single eye , but he wears bands over his one eye , which makes him appear to be just blind ( it is never made clear whether he actually is blind or merely pretends to be in order to hide his eye ) . Later episodes , such as `` Eye of the Beholder '' and `` While the City Snoozes '' hint that Phasir has had dealings with Mirage in the past and they may have once been lovers ( he states to himself that love will one day lead Mirage back to him ) . Sadira ( edit ) `` Sadira '' redirects here . For Vanguard Bandits video game character , see Vanguard Bandits § Characters . Sadira ( voiced by Kellie Martin ) is introduced in the TV series and later becomes friends with Aladdin and the others . Originally a street rat - much like Aladdin himself had been - Sadira developed an obsession with Aladdin after he saved her from Razoul . Dejected over his rejection of her in favor of Jasmine , she subsequently fell into a cavern where she made contact with the Witches of the Sand , who taught her various magical spells that featured sand as part of the incantations . So armed , she unleashed a sand beast in an attempt to get Princess Jasmine out of the picture , but in her haste she failed to think more about what she wanted the creature to do , how to completely control the creature and it subsequently ran rampant before the group were able to stop it . Her second attempt featured Sadira using an unidentified `` memory sand '' that caused the entire city 's memories to be altered , resulting in Sadira being the princess and engaged to Aladdin while Princess Jasmine was on the streets , with she and Aladdin never having even met ; however , the spell had no effect on Abu , Iago and Rajah , who swiftly escaped the palace to search for Jasmine . Despite her initial skepticism , Jasmine began to believe Iago 's story when she saw the wedding parade , feeling drawn to Aladdin despite having no memory of him . Sadira attempted to stop them by having the wedding moved to that very night , but the animals and Jasmine managed to interrupt the wedding before Sadira and Aladdin could kiss . Realizing that he felt more right with Jasmine than he ever had with Sadira , even when he could not remember her , Aladdin kissed Jasmine , resulting in history returning to normal with only Iago , Abu , Rajah and Sadira retaining any memory of the experience . In Sadira 's third attempt , she cast a spell to transform Aladdin into a heroic dragon - slaying prince and Abu into a horse , simultaneously opening a portal to the land of her fantasies , where she and Aladdin could live without any interference from Jasmine . Although the Genie managed to close the portal , the subsequent mixture of the Genie 's magic with Sadira 's spells meant that Aladdin still believed himself to be the prince despite the lack of any armor or even a dragon to slay , as well as Abu becoming a mule , forcing them to recreate Sadira 's fantasy in order to break the spell . In the process , however , Sadira and Jasmine actually bonded to a certain degree , developing an appreciation for each other 's skills and putting their old rivalry to rest as they worked together to vanquish the out - of - control mechanical dragon Genie had created while Aladdin was under the spell 's influence . Despite her new friendship with the group , Sadira was forced to face the remnants of her past actions when , while attempting to make a soup , she accidentally released the Witches of the Sand who had taught her in the first place . Having framed Sadira for releasing a sand viper on the city , the Witches attempted to win her over to their side and thus raise the ancient City of Sand to destroy Agrabah , but in the end , Sadira chose her new friendship with the group and helped them to defeat the Witches . She later made a cameo in the end of Aladdin and the King of Thieves , when Aladdin and Jasmine finally get married . Others ( edit ) Amuk Moonrah ( voiced by Tim Curry ) : An evil demon who is malevolence incarnate . He is depicted being 20 feet tall , having blood red skin covered in fur , the tail and legs of a lion and the wings of an eagle . Amuk ruled over Agrabah and terrorized the citizens for thousands of years , until they finally retaliated against him and he was banished to the mountains . He made his only appearance in `` Hero with a Thousand Feathers '' , where Phasir , the blind prophet , tells Iago that he will release Amuk , and either he will successfully defeat the monster , or Amuk will destroy him . The parrot is sceptical , and later , he and the gang explore a cave for a new trade route with Aladdin . Scared of the dark , Iago grabs a torch and lights up the cave , awakening the demon . He easily manages to incapacitate Genie , but retreats from the sunlight , as he can only appear at night time . The following night , he appears at the city gates . Following a brief fight with Genie , Jasmine gives him Agrabah and she is turned into his slave . The people pay tribute to him and a merchant shows him fireworks . Amuk is amazed and orders that a statue filled with fireworks be built for him . Aladdin sees this as a way of destroying him . The following evening , Jasmine presents the statue to Amuk and whilst he 's examining it , she takes cover . While she 's safe , Aladdin blows the statue up , seemingly destroying the monster . Amuk reappears , bigger than before , proclaiming he was born of fire and it makes him stronger . At this point , Iago appears ( he had retreated to a desert island until his conscience appeared , having been chained up and almost drowned , which frightened him back ) and threatens him with the amulet . The monster cowers until Iago realizes that the amulet wo n't kill Amuk unless he ingests it . The parrot flies into the beast 's open mouth . At the same time , Genie makes a last ditch effort to destroy Amuk , and succeeds so it looks like he did the work . Aladdin wonders what Iago 's deal is and hopes they never have to rely on him again . Despite the fact Iago did n't get the credit , he 's happy he did something heroic for a change . Haroud Hazi Bin ( voiced by James Avery ) : Abis Mal 's sarcastic and cynical right - hand henchman who often considers his boss 's schemes ill - conceived . He is calm , intelligent , and clear thinking and is able to manipulate his idiot boss for his own schemes , especially if it involves physical work .

She has a companion , an octopus named Armond . Her goal is to capture Aladdin and make him her merman prince of the sea . She makes two attempts to claim Aladdin as her own . In the first attempt , she locks Princess Jasmine underwater and tells Aladdin she left him in hopes to make him become smitten with her but this backfires as Aladdin and his friends trick her and ultimately release Princess Jasmine from Saleen 's hold . In the next episode she appears in , she used a magical sea star to place a mark on Aladdin 's chest and transformed him into her pet shark . Although she did succeed to capture him and eventually completely control his obedience , the Genie , Iago , Abu , and Armond were able to destroy Saleen 's sea star and turn Aladdin back to normal . Although she does mention to Armond that she 'll get Aladdin `` next time '' , this is her last appearance in the series . Saleen is also one of the few villains in the series to ever succeed to some degree in defeating Aladdin , even though it was only temporary . Her name is a pun on saline , or salt water . Ayam Aghoul ( voiced by Hamilton Camp ) : An undead ghoul , obsessed with trapping Aladdin and his friends in the Netherworld forever . However , Aghoul is often sent back to the Netherworld in the end . Because of Aghoul 's undead passion , Iago often nicknames him `` Death Breath '' .

Sootinai ( voiced by Dorian Harewood ) : A smoke spirit that only appeared in the episode , `` The Vapor Chase '' ; it was originally composed of smaller spirits . When all of the spirits merged into one , they became Sootinai . Sootinai can absorb the smoke from fires , making himself larger and more powerful . His name derives from the phrase `` Soot in Eye .

Nefir Hasenuf ( voiced by René Auberjonois ) : Nefir is an Egyptian - themed imp whose greed rivals that of Iago . He always causes great calamity and uses his great imp ingenuity to capitalize on the needs of those involved to obtain treasures .

He is aided by several other imps . Khartoum ( voiced by Tony Jay ) : An evil wizard imprisoned within his own book . His only hope of release is a magical gem called the Philosopher 's Stone which contains the power of the cosmos . All he needs is someone greedy enough to create the stone and release him from his prison . As it turns out , Mozenrath is that `` someone '' when he finds the book . After the young wizard creates the stone , Khartoum double crosses him and takes the stone for himself .

When Aladdin and his friends went out to the jungle to search food for people that live on top of a mountain , they 're being watched by the T - Rex . When the T - Rex attacked , Aladdin asked what it was ( this could mean that people of Agrabah have never seen or known what dinosaurs are ) . After a brief fight , they trapped the T - Rex with large boulders . Sometime later at the feast on top of the mountain village , the T - Rex survived the rock slide and went on a rampage . It begins to eat everything ( especially the roast meat ) . It defeated Genie by crushing him . Even though he was crushed , he 's alive and Iago tries to revive him .

Aladdin and the King of Thieves ( edit ) Cassim ( edit ) Cassim First appearance Aladdin and the King of Thieves ( 1996 ) Voiced by John Rhys - Davies Gender Male Title The King of Thieves Family Unnamed wife ( deceased ) Aladdin ( son ) Relatives Jasmine ( daughter - in - law ) Nationality Arabian Cassim ( voiced by John Rhys - Davies ) is Aladdin 's father . Long before the events of the first film , he left his wife and newborn son in Agrabah in order to find a better life for the poverty - stricken family , not wanting to be looked down upon . Some time later , he fell in with the Forty Thieves , eventually becoming their leader ( the `` King of Thieves '' ) , and incorporated a new law : never hurt the innocent . His latest plan before the events of Aladdin and the King of Thieves was to try and steal the Oracle , as he had found evidence that it existed , and believed it might be among the gifts going to Agrabah . He intended to find the treasure of the Vanishing Isle . Cassim is first seen in the film disguised as the King of Thieves , carrying out a plot to raid Aladdin and Princess Jasmine 's wedding . As soon as the ceremony starts , he gives the word for the other thirty - nine to distract the guards while he searches for the Oracle . The plan works , to an extent - Cassim is confronted by Aladdin , and the two fight , both unaware of the fact that they are father and son . He manages to escape , swearing to meet Aladdin again . Aladdin later catches up to his father after learning he is `` trapped in the world of the Forty Thieves '' , when Cassim utters the secret words to open the hideout of the Thieves ( `` Open Sesame '' ) . He is confronted by Sa'luk , a rival of his , about the failure of the raid in Agrabah , and Sa'luk is about to kill him when Aladdin intervenes . Aladdin reveals that he is his son , and this is proved when the dagger slips out of his cloak . Cassim tells them that this is true , but nevertheless , since he found the location of their hideout , he must die - or face the challenge in a battle for his life against Sa'luk , which Aladdin narrowly succeeds at . After the challenge , Cassim shows Aladdin a secret chamber , explaining why he was never there , and how one night he came home but believed his family lost to him forever after he could n't find them . Aladdin offers him an invitation to his wedding , which Cassim is at first hesitant about . Eventually , Iago offers to lead Cassim to where the Oracle is if he participates in Aladdin 's wedding , to which Cassim accepts . Cassim easily bonds with the Genie , the Sultan and Princess Jasmine ( after a change of clothes and dealing with some of the Genie 's antics ) but is ultimately too obsessed with the pull of the treasure to enjoy the time with his son too much , as he has already learned of the Oracle 's current location from Iago . Nevertheless , as he attempts to take the Oracle , Cassim promises Iago he will go straight to attend the wedding after it , but they are caught by Razoul and the Palace Guards , who have been tipped off by Sa'luk , who has survived his battle against Aladdin is now enacting his revenge against Cassim . Aladdin realizes what the Oracle said that he was trapped in the world of the Forth Thieves , as in trapped by his own greed . He is sentenced to life in prison along with 31 thieves that have been captured during Razoul 's raid of the hideout , but later on that night , Aladdin , disguised as himself in his King of Thieves clothes , helps him escape out of forgiveness . Once out of Agrabah , Cassim and Iago go back to the Thieves . Upon arriving , they find that Sa'luk manipulated the remaining seven thieves into believing that Cassim sold them out and now follow Sa'luk as their new leader , despite the fact the imprisoned 31 thieves know that it was Sa'luk who sold them out , not Cassim . Being held hostage with Iago , he is forced to use the Oracle to lead them to the Vanishing Isle , while he secretly commands Iago to escape to warn Aladdin . As the Thieves reached the Isle by ship , Cassim is saved by Aladdin , who knocks Sa'luk unconscious , and they venture into the Vanishing Isle to obtain the hand of Midas . They succeed , but Sa'luk quickly follows , taking Aladdin hostage , threatening Cassim that he will kill Aladdin unless he hand over the Hand of Midas . Cassim , deciding Aladdin is far more valuable than the hand , tosses it to Sa'luk , who foolishly catches it by the hand instead of the bronze handle . Sa'luk is instantly turned into a golden statue and falls into the chamber filled with water . Cassim and Aladdin then escape out of the Isle . He throws the Hand of Midas into the sea realizing that he has not lost his ultimate treasure : his son , and apologizes for taking so long to realize it . Cassim attends Aladdin and Princess Jasmine 's wedding later , watching from the shadows , as he is still a wanted man for his past crimes . He accepts Iago , who feels he no longer has a place with Aladdin and the others as they prepare for a new life of responsibility , as a travelling companion , and goes off to venture the world . As the film ends , Cassim is last seen with Iago waving farewell to his son and daughter - in - law before riding off into the night to tour the world . Sa'luk ( edit ) Sa'luk First appearance Aladdin and the King of Thieves ( 1996 ) Voiced by Jerry Orbach Sa'luk ( voiced by Jerry Orbach ) is the main antagonist of the third film . He is a ruthless , aggressive brute , and he seems to have pleasure in killing . His primary weapon is a knuckleduster with 3 bronze claws attached . He is very strong and an exceptionally capable fighter , able to defeat the entirety of the remaining Forty Thieves without breaking a sweat and kill a shark with his bare hands . He is tall , gray skinned , wearing a black vest , a red cummerbund and baggy blue pants . Sa'luk is the right - hand man of Cassim , the King of Thieves , but dialogue implies that Sa'luk was once the leader of the thieves until Cassim proposed to seek out the Hand of Midas , which led the thieves to appoint Cassim as their new leader , something Sa'luk despises Cassim for . When Aladdin arrives at the thieves ' lair , Sa'luk , angry at Cassim for leading them to a failed attempt to steal the oracle from Aladdin 's wedding , attempts a mutiny against Cassim , but Aladdin steps in before they can fight and subdues Sa'luk . Sa'luk then says to the other thieves that they must kill Aladdin for knowing the location of the hideout . Cassim , having little authority over the thieves but wanting to save his son , gives Aladdin the chance to fight for his life . Sa'luk instantly volunteers to be `` the one to test him '' . Aladdin takes a rather severe beating , but is eventually able to subdue and defeat Sa'luk by kicking him off a cliff to his apparent death . Sa'luk survives where he is seen killing a shark that tried to eat him and knows that he has by now been replaced by Aladdin . In a spiteful rage , Saluk reveals the location of the thieves ' hideout to Razoul , in exchange for immunity from prosecution . When Razoul arrests 31 of the thieves in the raid of their hideout , Sa'luk finds out that Cassim and Aladdin are not among them . When Sa'luk hears that Aladdin is in Agrabah , he assumes Cassim is too and reveals that Aladdin 's father Cassim is the King of Thieves . Then he returns to the thieves ' lair , and convinces the remaining thieves who evaded capture that it was actually Cassim who gave up the location of the hideout , despite the fact that the 31 thieves already know that Sa'luk is the one who sold them out . After Sa'luk reminds them of life before Cassim , he rallies the thieves to join him in his own quest for the Hand of Midas . When Cassim and Iago arrive at the thieves ' lair , Sa'luk , as the new leader of the remaining thieves , has them tied up . The thieves sail away , trying to find the Vanishing Island , where the Hand of Midas is , with the Oracle 's help ; however , Iago escapes and tells Aladdin . Aladdin and company follow the thieves to the Vanishing Isle , where it comes to a great battle . Sa'luk corners both Aladdin and Cassim and demands that they give him the hand , or he will kill Aladdin . Cassim throws the golden hand , and Sa'luk greedily grabs it . Despite having obtained the Hand of Midas , Sa'luk decides to kill Aladdin anyway for his pleasure . However , Sa'luk realizes too late that he has grabbed the golden hand itself instead of the bronze handle , and consequently , he is permanently turned into a golden statue and falls to the bottom of the hand chamber , shortly before the Vanishing Isle disappears beneath the water . The Oracle ( edit ) The Oracle First appearance Aladdin and the King of Thieves ( 1996 ) Voiced by CCH Pounder The Oracle ( voiced by ( ( CCH Pounder ) is an omniscient entity bound to a staff , who answers one question per person . It is being given as a gift at Aladdin and Jasmine 's wedding . It is how Aladdin learns of his father , and it eventually leads Cassim to the location of the hand of Midas . Iago wished to use his question to find The Ultimate Treasure , but accidentally used it to find out why the 40 Thieves wanted the staff . Genie later mimicked its appearance when trying to dissuade Aladdin from breaking Cassim out of prison . Since the staff flew off to where the Vanishing Isle would appear and did n't reappear after the Oracle vanished , it 's highly plausible that showing the location of the isle was its final task . Disney 's Aladdin in Nasira 's revenge ( edit ) Nasira ( edit ) Nasira ( voiced by Jodi Benson ) is Jafar 's fraternal twin sister who tried to resurrect him . She is the main antagonist of the game . Nasira aims to resurrect her brother , but in order to do so she needs four magical artifacts to create a spell powerful enough to bring Jafar back . She also wants revenge on Aladdin . So she single - handedly took control of Agrabah , ' disposed ' of Princess Jasmine and the Sultan , and put a price on Aladdin 's head - all in one night . Aladdin confronted her in the throne room the next day and demanded to know the whereabouts of Princess Jasmine and the Sultan , but Nasira threw him into the dungeon . Unfortunately for her , Aladdin escaped and managed to reach the Oasis . Nasira disguised herself as a mystic and quickly befriended Aladdin by telling him where his friends were . Oblivious to the truth , Aladdin rescued his friends one by one . When he rescued the Sultan , Nasira revealed their friendship was a lie and ran off with the artifacts Aladdin collected . Two levels later , Aladdin found Nasira with Jafar 's ghost who advises Nasira not to underestimate Aladdin and defeated both of them . Jafar died again and Nasira ran off . Aladdin returned to the palace to celebrate . Unlike Jafar , Nasira was most likely born with her magical powers . She can hurl mystical bolts , perform resurrections through magical artifacts , summon zombies and skeletons , bend others to her will , change her appearance , bring objects to life , create portals , and paralyze enemies . In Once Upon a Time in Wonderland , a character named Amara ( Zuleikha Robinson ) , who later would become Jafar 's serpent staff , bears a resemblance to Nasira , including her clothing style , when a young Jafar appears to her wanting to learn magic . The arachnid ( edit ) The Arachnid , also known as the Spider , is a giant arachnid with a monsterious appetite and a boss in the game . She appears as a huge black and yellow spider monster with a yellow skull on her hindquarters . She is bigger than a camel and fiercely guards the way out of the Oasis that is outside Agrabah . Aladdin confronts this beast , but he does n't face her head on as he exposes her weakness with his agile skills in her web . He eventually defeats her , leaving victorious with a mysterious Serpent Idol before meeting a mystic with secret and sinister agendas of her own . Anubis ( edit ) Anubis is a minor villain in the game . His sorcery is also the source of the restorative magic of four golden Serpent Idols , the very artifacts sought after by Nasira in her plan of resurrect her twin brother Jafar from the dead . This jackal - headed monster through his statue of his natural form , is master of the tombs , the Pyramids found within the deserts of Egypt . Legends within the walls of the Pyramids spoke of sacrifices offered to Anubis by his worshipers , humans willingly of by force , lost their souls to him , then years later , his temples became tombs as they were abandoned , and Anubis himself never return . Centuries later , Princess Jasmine , who was kidnapped by Nasira , was trapped by her henchman there in an enchanted cage , only to be a sacrifice and a bait to trap Aladdin . Aladdin braved the traps , and faced the undead monsters within the Pyramids . Aladdin soon face the possessed statue of the evil Egyptian deity , Anubis . Anubis was defeated , and disappeared . Aladdin won the fight , and freed Jasmine before they both later went on a mission to rescue her father . Evil Sultan ( edit ) The Evil Sultan as he is called , is an evil monarch threatening to become the new ruler of Agrabah and a minor villain in the game . He is a deadly adversary astride the Golden Phoenix , his flying mechanical bird . After he appears in Ancient City and kidnapped the real Sultan , Aladdin rides the Magic Carpet into battle , dodging his launched missiles and looks out when he slams on the brakes . Aladdin eventually wins this aerial battle and rescues Jasmine 's father , while he also collected the 4th and last Serpent Idol from the fallen Evil Sultan . Disney Princess Enchanted Tales : follow Your Dreams ( edit ) Sahara ( edit ) Sahara is Jasmine 's late mother 's horse who was the only one who could ride her . When Sahara was missing , Jasmine went looking for him and rode him back to Agrabah before her father noticed his disappearance . His name translates to `` desert '' in Arabic . Hakeem ( edit ) Hakeem is a servant boy in the palace stables . He looks like Aladdin , but his personality is different . He is a little worried that he has lost a horse named Sahara , which will lead to him losing his job , so Princess Jasmine promised him that she will return Sahara to him . Aneesa ( edit ) Aneesa is Princess Jasmine 's loyal servant who works in the palace . She first convinces the discouraged Princess Jasmine never to give up and tries her best . When Sahara went missing , she tries to distract the Sultan from going to the royal stables . Sharma ( edit ) Sharma is Jasmine 's cousin . She bears a resemblance to Jasmine , who is supposed to look like her mother . She works as a teacher at the Royal Academy .

what is the tigers name off of aladdin
[ "Rajah (voiced by Frank Welker) is Princess Jasmine's pet tiger which displays dog and cat-like behavior.. Unlike Abu, he is not anthropomorphized, but is still able to understand human language and emotions, as seen when he is surprised by the revelation of Princess Jasmine that she has never had a true friend (except for Rajah himself), or when he assists her in her escape from the palace. In the first film, Rajah is distrustful towards Aladdin at first, but later warms up to him. He also takes part in the battle against Jafar, but is turned into a cub and imprisoned in a bird cage. He is returned to his original form at the end of the film after Aladdin finally defeats Jafar.\n" ]

Age and other prerequisites to marriage vary between jurisdictions , but marriage age is often set at 18 . Until recently , the marriageable age for women was lower in many jurisdictions than for men , but in many places has now been raised to those of men . Most jurisdictions allow marriage at a younger age with parental or judicial approval , and some also allow younger people to marry if the woman is pregnant . The marriage age should not be confused with the age of majority or the age of consent , though in some places they may be the same . In many developing countries , the official age prescriptions stand as mere guidelines . In some societies , a marriage by a person ( usually a woman ) below the age of 18 is regarded as a child marriage . The 55 parties to the 1962 Convention on Consent to Marriage , Minimum Age for Marriage , and Registration of Marriages have agreed to specify a minimum marriage age by statute law ‚ to override customary , religious , and tribal laws . When the marriageable age under a law of a religious community is lower than that under the law of the land , the state law prevails . However , some religious communities do not accept the supremacy of state law in this respect , which may lead to child marriage or forced marriage . The 123 parties to the 1956 Supplementary Convention on the Abolition of Slavery have agreed to adopt a minimum age for marriage .

In most cases , this coincided with signs of puberty : such as menstruation for a girl and pubic hair for a boy . In Jewish oral tradition , men can not consent to marriage until they reach the age of majority of 14 years and one day and have undergone puberty . With no signs of puberty , they are considered minors until the age of twenty . After twenty , they are not considered adults if they show signs of impotence . If they show no signs of puberty or do show impotence , they automatically become adults by age 35 and can marry . The same rules apply to women , except their age of majority is 13 years and a day . In Ancient Rome , it was very common for girls to marry and have children shortly after the onset of puberty . Roman law required brides to be at least 12 years old . In Roman law , first marriages to brides from 12 to 24 required the consent of the bride and her father ; by the late antique period , Roman law permitted women over 25 to marry without parental consent . The Catholic canon law followed the Roman law . In the 12th century , the Catholic Church drastically changed legal standards for marital consent by allowing daughters over 12 and sons over 14 to marry without their parents ' approval , even if their marriage was made clandestinely . Parish studies have confirmed that late medieval women did sometimes marry without their parents ' approval . In western Europe , the rise of Christianity and manorialism had both created incentives to keep families nuclear , and thus the age of marriage increased ; the Western Church instituted marriage laws and practices that undermined large kinship groups . The Church prohibited consanguineous marriages , a marriage pattern that had been a means to maintain clans ( and thus their power ) throughout history . The church also forbade marriages in which the bride did not clearly agree to the union . Middle ages ( edit ) After the Fall of the Western Roman Empire , manorialism also helped weaken the ties of kinship and thus the power of clans ; as early as the 9th century in northwestern France , families that worked on manors were small , consisting of parents and children and occasionally a grandparent . The Church and State had become allies in erasing the solidarity and thus the political power of the clans ; the Church sought to replace traditional religion , whose vehicle was the kin group , and substitute the authority of the elders of the kin group with that of a religious elder ; at the same time , the king 's rule was undermined by revolts by the most powerful kin groups , clans or sections , whose conspiracies and murders threatened the power of the state and also the demands by manorial lords for obedient , compliant workers . As the peasants and serfs lived and worked on farms that they rented from the lord of the manor , they also needed the permission of the lord to marry . Couples therefore had to comply with the lord and wait until a small farm became available before they could marry and thus produce children ; those who could and did delay marriage were presumably rewarded by the landlord and those who did not were presumably denied that reward . For example , marriage ages in Medieval England varied depending on economic circumstances , with couples delaying marriage until their early twenties when times were bad , but might marry in their late teens after the Black Death , when there was a severe labour shortage ; by appearances , marriage of adolescents was not the norm in England . In medieval Eastern Europe , on the other hand , the Slavic traditions of patrilocality of early and universal marriage ( usually of a bride aged 12 -- 15 years , with menarche occurring on average at 14 ) lingered ; the manorial system had yet to penetrate into eastern Europe and had generally had less effect on clan systems there ; and the bans on cross-cousin marriages had not been firmly enforced . The first recorded age - of - consent law dates back 800 years . In 1275 , in England , as part of the rape law , the Statute of Westminster 1275 , made it a misdemeanour to `` ravish '' a `` maiden within age '' , whether with or without her consent . The phrase `` within age '' was interpreted by jurist Sir Edward Coke as meaning the age of marriage , which at the time was 12 years . In the 12th century , the jurist Gratian , an influential founder of Canon law in medieval Europe , accepted the age of puberty for marriage to be between 12 and 14 , but acknowledged consent to be meaningful if the children were older than 7 . Some authorities claimed that consent could take place earlier . Marriage would then be valid as long as neither of the two parties annulled the marital agreement before reaching puberty , and the marriage had not already been consummated . Gratian noted that `` If one over the age of seven takes a prepubescent wife of less than seven and transfers her to his house , such a contract gives rise to the impediment of public propriety '' . In spite of this , there are recorded marriages of 2 and 3 year olds : in 1564 , a three year old named John was married to a two year old named Jane in the Bishop 's Court in Chester , England Modern times ( edit ) The policy of the Roman Catholic Church , and later various protestant churches , of considering clandestine marriages and marriages made without parental consent to be valid was controversial , and in the 16th century both the French monarchy and the Lutheran Church sought to end these practices , with limited success . Before 1929 , Scots law followed Roman law in allowing a girl to marry at twelve years of age and a boy at fourteen , without any requirement for parental consent . However , marriage in Scotland at such young ages was in practice almost unknown . In England and Wales , the Marriage Act 1753 required a marriage to be covered by a licence ( requiring parental consent for those under 21 ) or the publication of banns ( which parents of those under 21 could forbid ) . In most of Northwestern Europe , marriage at very early ages was rare . One thousand marriage certificates from 1619 to 1660 in the Archdiocese of Canterbury show that only one bride was 13 years old , four were 15 , twelve were 16 , and seventeen were 17 years old ; while the other 966 brides were at least 19 years old . Additionally , the Church dictated that both the bride and groom must be at least 21 years of age to marry without the consent of their families ; in the certificates , the most common age for the brides is 22 years . For the grooms 24 years was the most common age , with average ages of 24 years for the brides and 27 for the grooms . While European noblewomen often married early , they were a small minority of the population , and the marriage certificates from Canterbury Muddy Mullins show that even among nobility it was very rare to marry women off at very early ages . The American colonies followed the English tradition , but the law was more of a guide . For example , Mary Hathaway ( Virginia , 1689 ) was only 9 when she was married to William Williams . Sir Edward Coke ( England , 17th century ) made it clear that `` the marriage of girls under 12 was normal , and the age at which a girl who was a wife was eligible for a dower from her husband 's estate was 9 even though her husband be only four years old '' . Reliable data for when people would actually marry are very difficult to find . In England , for example , the only reliable data on age at marriage in the early modern period come from records relating only to those who left property after their death . Not only were the records relatively rare , but not all bothered to record the participants ' ages , and it seems that the more complete the records are , the more likely they are to reveal young marriages , giving a biased sample . Additionally , 20th - and 21st - century historians have sometimes shown reluctance to accept data regarding a young age of marriage , and would instead explain the data away as a misreading by a later copier of the records . In France , until the French Revolution , the marriageable age was 12 years for girls and 14 for boys . Revolutionary legislation in 1792 increased the age to 13 years for girls and 15 for boys . Under the Napoleonic Code in 1804 , the marriageable age was set at 15 years for girls and 18 for boys . In 2006 , the marriageable age for women was increased to 18 , the same as for men . In jurisdictions where the ages are not the same , the marriageable age for girls is more commonly two or three years lower than that for boys . Marriageable age as a right vs exceptions ( edit ) In the majority of countries the marriageable age as a right is 18 . However , most of these countries have exceptions for minors , usually requiring parental or judicial authorization . These exceptions vary considerably by country . The United Nations Population Fund stated the following : In 2010 , 158 countries reported that 18 years was the minimum legal age for marriage for women without parental consent or approval by a pertinent authority . However , in 146 countries , state or customary law allows girls younger than 18 to marry with the consent of parents or other authorities ; in 52 countries , girls under age 15 can marry with parental consent . In contrast , 18 is the legal age for marriage without consent among males in 180 countries . Additionally , in 105 countries , boys can marry with the consent of a parent or a pertinent authority , and in 23 countries , boys under age 15 can marry with parental consent . In Western countries , marriages of teenagers have become rare in recent years , with their frequency having rapidly declined during the past few decades . For instance , in Finland , where underage youth can obtain a special judicial authorization to marry , there are only 30 -- 40 such marriages per year in the early 21st century ( with most of the spouses being aged 17 ) , while in the early 1990s , more than 100 underage marriages were registered each year .

'' In addition , the provinces may impose procedural requirements for the marriage of a minor who is over 16 but under the age of majority ( 18 or 19 ) , such as requiring parental consent or permission from a judge . The Criminal Code also prohibits marriage under the age of 16 : `` Everyone who celebrates , aids or participates in a marriage rite or ceremony knowing that one of the persons being married is under the age of 16 years is guilty of an indictable offence and liable to imprisonment for a term not exceeding five years .

Cardiac pacemaker
Cardiac pacemaker - wikipedia Cardiac pacemaker Jump to : navigation , search This article is about the natural pacemaker in the heart . For the medical device that simulates the function , see artificial cardiac pacemaker . This article needs additional citations for verification . Please help improve this article by adding citations to reliable sources . Unsourced material may be challenged and removed . ( December 2009 ) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message ) Image showing the cardiac pacemaker or SA node , the normal pacemaker within the electrical conduction system of the heart . The contraction of cardiac muscle ( heart muscle ) in all animals is initiated by electrical impulses known as action potentials . The rate at which these impulses fire controls the rate of cardiac contraction , that is , the heart rate . The cells that create these rhythmic impulses , setting the pace for blood pumping , are called pacemaker cells , and they directly control the heart rate . They make up the cardiac pacemaker , that is , the natural pacemaker of the heart . In most humans , the concentration of pacemaker cells in the sinoatrial ( SA ) node is the natural pacemaker , and the resultant rhythm is a sinus rhythm . Sometimes an ectopic pacemaker sets the pace , if the SA node is damaged or if the electrical conduction system of the heart has problems . Cardiac arrhythmias can cause heart block , in which the contractions lose any useful rhythm . In humans , and occasionally in animals , a mechanical device called an artificial pacemaker ( or simply `` pacemaker '' ) may be used after damage to the body 's intrinsic conduction system to produce these impulses synthetically . Contents ( hide ) 1 Control 1.1 Primary ( SA node ) 1.2 Secondary ( AV junction and Bundle of His ) 2 Generation of action potentials 2.1 Phase 4 - Pacemaker potential 2.2 Phase 0 - Upstroke 2.3 Phase 3 - Repolarization 3 Clinical significance 3.1 Damage to the SA node 3.2 Artificial pacemakers 4 See also 5 References Control ( edit ) Schematic representation of the sinoatrial node and the atrioventricular bundle of His . The location of the SA node is shown in blue . The bundle , represented in red , originates near the orifice of the coronary sinus , undergoes slight enlargement to form the AV node . The AV node tapers down into the bundle of HIS , which passes into the ventricular septum and divides into two bundle branches , the left and right bundles . The ultimate distribution can not be completely shown in this diagram . Primary ( SA node ) ( edit ) One percent of the cardiomyocytes in the myocardium possess the ability to generate electrical impulses ( or action potentials ) spontaneously . A specialized portion of the heart , called the sinoatrial node ( SA node ) , is responsible for atrial propagation of this potential . The sinoatrial node ( SA node ) is a group of cells positioned on the wall of the right atrium , near the entrance of the superior vena cava . These cells are modified cardiomyocytes . They possess rudimentary contractile filaments , but contract relatively weakly compared to the cardiac contractile cells . The pacemaker cells are connected to neighboring contractile cells via gap junctions , which enable them to locally depolarize adjacent cells . Gap junctions allow the passage of positive cations from the depolarization of the pacemaker cell to adjacent contractile cells . This starts the depolarization and eventual action potential in contractile cells . Having cardiomyocytes connected via gap junctions allow all contractile cells of the heart to act in a coordinated fashion and contract as a unit . All the while being in sync with the pacemaker cells ; this is the property that allows the pacemaker cells to control contraction in all other cardiomyocytes . Cells in the SA node spontaneously depolarize , ultimately resulting in contraction , approximately 100 times per minute . This native rate is constantly modified by the activity of sympathetic and parasympathetic nerve fibers via the autonomic nervous system , so that the average resting cardiac rate in adult humans is about 70 beats per minute . Because the sinoatrial node is responsible for the rest of the heart 's electrical activity , it is sometimes called the primary pacemaker . Secondary ( AV junction and bundle of His ) ( edit ) If the SA node does not function properly and is unable to control the heart rate , a group of cells further down the heart will become the ectopic pacemaker of the heart . These cells form the Atrioventricular node ( or AV node ) , which is an area between the left atrium and the right ventricle within the atrial septum , will take over the pacemaker responsibility . The cells of the AV node normally discharge at about 40 - 60 beats per minute , and are called the secondary pacemaker . Further down the electrical conducting system of the heart is the Bundle of His . The left and right branches of this bundle , and the Purkinje fibres , will also produce a spontaneous action potential at a rate of 30 - 40 beats per minute , so if the SA and AV node both fail to function , these cells can become pacemakers . It is important to realize that these cells will be initiating action potentials and contraction at a much lower rate than the primary or secondary pacemaker cells . The SA node controls the rate of contraction for the entire heart muscle because its cells have the quickest rate of spontaneous depolarization , thus they initiate action potentials the quickest . The action potential generated by the SA node passes down the electrical conduction system of the heart , and depolarizes the other potential pacemaker cells ( AV node ) to initiate action potentials before these other cells have had a chance to generate their own spontaneous action potential , thus they contract and propagate electrical impulses to the pace set by the cells of the SA node . This is the normal conduction of electrical activity in the heart . Generation of action potentials ( edit ) There are 3 main stages in the generation of an action potential in a pacemaker cell . Since the stages are analogous to contraction of cardiac muscle cells , they have the same naming system . This can lead to some confusion . There is no phase 1 or 2 , just phases 0 , 3 , and 4 . Phase 4 - pacemaker potential ( edit ) The key to the rhythmic firing of pacemaker cells is that , unlike other neurons in the body , these cells will slowly depolarize by themselves and do not need any outside innervation from the autonomic nervous system to fire action potentials . As in all other cells , the resting potential of a pacemaker cell ( - 60mV to - 70mV ) is caused by a continuous outflow or `` leak '' of potassium ions through ion channel proteins in the membrane that surrounds the cells . However , in pacemaker cells , this potassium permeability ( efflux ) decreases as time goes on , causing a slow depolarization . In addition , there is a slow , continuous inward flow of sodium , called the funny current. These two relative ion concentration changes slowly depolarize ( make more positive ) the inside membrane potential ( voltage ) of the cell , giving these cells their pacemaker potential . When the membrane potential gets depolarized to about - 40mV it has reached threshold ( cells enter phase 0 ) , allowing an action potential to be generated . Phase 0 - upstroke ( edit ) Though much faster than the depolarization of phase 4 , the upstroke in a pacemaker cell is slow compared to that in an axon . The SA and AV node do not have fast sodium channels like neurons , and the depolarization is mainly caused by a slow influx of calcium ions . ( The funny current also increases ) . Calcium enters the cell via voltage - sensitive calcium channels that open when the threshold is reached . This calcium influx produces the rising phase of the action potential , which results in the reversal of membrane potential to a peak of about + 10mV . It is important to note that intracellular calcium causes muscular contraction in contractile cells , and is the effector ion . In heart pacemaker cells , phase 0 depends on the activation of L - type calcium channels instead of the activation of voltage - gated fast sodium channels , which are responsible for initiating action potentials in contractile ( non-pacemaker ) cells . For this reason , the pacemaker action potential rising phase slope is more gradual than that of the contractile cell ( image 2 ). ( 7 ) Phase 3 - repolarization ( edit ) The reversal of membrane potential triggers the opening of potassium leak channels , resulting in the rapid loss of potassium ions from the inside of the cell , causing repolarization ( V gets more negative ) . The calcium channels are also inactivated soon after they open . In addition , as sodium channels become inactivated , sodium permeability into the cell is decreased . These ion concentration changes slowly repolarize the cell to resting membrane potential ( - 60mV ) . Another important note at this phase is that ionic pumps restore ion concentrations to pre-action potential status . The sodium - calcium exchanger ionic pump works to pump calcium out of the intracellular space , thus effectively relaxing the cell . The sodium / potassium pump restores ion concentrations of sodium and potassium ions by pumping sodium out of the cell and pumping ( exchanging ) potassium into the cell . Restoring these ion concentrations is vital because it enables the cell to reset itself and enables it to repeat the process of spontaneous depolarization leading to activation of an action potential . Clinical significance ( edit ) Damage to the SA node ( edit ) If the SA node does not function , or the impulse generated in the SA node is blocked before it travels down the electrical conduction system , a group of cells further down the heart will become its pacemaker . This center is typically represented by cells inside the atrioventricular node ( AV node ) , which is an area between the atria and ventricles , within the atrial septum . If the AV node also fails , Purkinje fibers are occasionally capable of acting as the default or `` escape '' pacemaker . The reason Purkinje cells do not normally control the heart rate is that they generate action potentials at a lower frequency than the AV or SA nodes .

where is the heart's natural pacemaker located
[ "The contraction of cardiac muscle (heart muscle) in all animals is initiated by electrical impulses known as action potentials. The rate at which these impulses fire controls the rate of cardiac contraction, that is, the heart rate. The cells that create these rhythmic impulses, setting the pace for blood pumping, are called pacemaker cells, and they directly control the heart rate. They make up the cardiac pacemaker, that is, the natural pacemaker of the heart. In most humans, the concentration of pacemaker cells in the sinoatrial (SA) node is the natural pacemaker, and the resultant rhythm is a sinus rhythm." ]

Van Trump Easiest route rock / ice climb via Disappointment Cleaver Mount Rainier ( pronounced : / reɪˈnɪər / ) , is the highest mountain of the Cascade Range of the Pacific Northwest , and the highest mountain in the U.S. state of Washington . It is a large active stratovolcano located 54 miles ( 87 km ) south - southeast of Seattle , in the Mount Rainier National Park . It is the most topographically prominent mountain in the contiguous United States and the Cascade Volcanic Arc , with a summit elevation of 14,411 ft ( 4,392 m ) . Mt . Rainier is considered one of the most dangerous volcanoes in the world , and it is on the Decade Volcano list . Because of its large amount of glacial ice , Mt . Rainier could produce massive lahars that could threaten the entire Puyallup River valley , and poses a grave threat to the southern sections of the Seattle metropolitan area , a city of over 650,000 people with more than 3.7 million living in its metropolitan area .

One hypothesis of the word origin is ( təqwúʔbəʔ ) ( `` mother of waters '' ) , in the Lushootseed language spoken by the Puyallup people . Another hypothesis is that `` Tacoma '' means `` larger than Mount Baker '' in Lushootseed : `` Ta '' , larger , plus `` Koma ( Kulshan ) '' , Mount Baker . Other names originally used include Tahoma , Tacobeh , and Pooskaus . The current name was given by George Vancouver , who named it in honor of his friend , Rear Admiral Peter Rainier . The map of the Lewis and Clark expedition of 1804 - 1806 refers to it as `` Mt . Regniere '' . Although `` Rainier '' had been considered the official name of the mountain , Theodore Winthrop , in his posthumously published 1862 travel book The Canoe and the Saddle , referred to the mountain as `` Tacoma '' and for a time , both names were used interchangeably , although `` Mt . Tacoma '' was preferred in the city of Tacoma . In 1890 , the United States Board on Geographic Names declared that the mountain would be known as `` Rainier '' . Following this in 1897 , the Pacific Forest Reserve became the Mount Rainier Forest Reserve , and the national park was established three years later . Despite this , there was still a movement to change the mountain 's name to `` Tacoma '' and Congress was still considering a resolution to change the name as late as 1924 . In the lead up to Super Bowl XLVIII , the Washington State Senate passed a resolution on Friday , January 31 , 2014 , temporarily renaming the mountain Mount Seattle Seahawks until the midnight after the Super Bowl , Monday , February 3 , 2014 , in response to the renaming of 53 mountains in Colorado after the 53 members of the Denver Broncos by Governor of Colorado John Hickenlooper . After the 2015 restoration of the original name Denali to Mount McKinley in Alaska , debate over Mount Rainier 's name intensified . Geographical setting ( edit ) Mount Rainier behind the Starbucks corporate HQ clock tower in Seattle , as seen from the Bainbridge Island ferry , with Port of Seattle cranes Mt Rainier just after taking off from SeaTac Mount Rainier is the highest mountain in Washington and the Cascade Range . This peak is located just east of Eatonville and just southeast of Seattle and Tacoma . Mount Rainier is ranked third of the 128 ultra-prominent mountain peaks of the United States . Mount Rainier has a topographic prominence of 13,210 ft ( 4,026 m ) , which is greater than that of K2 , the world 's second - tallest mountain , at 13,189 ft ( 4,020 m ) . On clear days it dominates the southeastern horizon in most of the Seattle - Tacoma metropolitan area to such an extent that locals sometimes refer to it simply as `` the Mountain . '' On days of exceptional clarity , it can also be seen from as far away as Corvallis , Oregon ( at Marys Peak ) and Victoria , British Columbia . With 26 major glaciers and 36 sq mi ( 93 km ) of permanent snowfields and glaciers , Mount Rainier is the most heavily glaciated peak in the lower 48 states . The summit is topped by two volcanic craters , each more than 1,000 ft ( 300 m ) in diameter , with the larger east crater overlapping the west crater . Geothermal heat from the volcano keeps areas of both crater rims free of snow and ice , and has formed the world 's largest volcanic glacier cave network within the ice - filled craters , with nearly 2 mi ( 3.2 km ) of passages . A small crater lake about 130 by 30 ft ( 39.6 by 9.1 m ) in size and 16 ft ( 5 m ) deep , the highest in North America with a surface elevation of 14,203 ft ( 4,329 m ) , occupies the lowest portion of the west crater below more than 100 ft ( 30 m ) of ice and is accessible only via the caves . The Carbon , Puyallup , Mowich , Nisqually , and Cowlitz Rivers begin at eponymous glaciers of Mount Rainier . The sources of the White River are Winthrop , Emmons , and Fryingpan Glaciers . The White , Carbon , and Mowich join the Puyallup River , which discharges into Commencement Bay at Tacoma ; the Nisqually empties into Puget Sound east of Lacey ; and the Cowlitz joins the Columbia River between Kelso and Longview . A panorama of the south face of Mount Rainier viewed from Westside Road , Washington State Route 706 Subsidiary Peaks ( edit ) The broad top of Mount Rainier contains three named summits . The highest is called the Columbia Crest . The second highest summit is Point Success , 14,158 ft ( 4,315 m ) , at the southern edge of the summit plateau , atop the ridge known as Success Cleaver . It has a topographic prominence of about 138 ft ( 42 m ) , so it is not considered a separate peak . The lowest of the three summits is Liberty Cap , 14,112 ft ( 4,301 m ) , at the northwestern edge , which overlooks Liberty Ridge , the Sunset Amphitheater , and the dramatic Willis Wall . Liberty Cap has a prominence of 492 ft ( 150 m ) , and so would qualify as a separate peak under most strictly prominence - based rules . A prominence cutoff of 400 ft ( 122 m ) is commonly used in Washington state . High on the eastern flank of Mount Rainier is a peak known as Little Tahoma Peak , 11,138 ft ( 3,395 m ) , an eroded remnant of the earlier , much higher , Mount Rainier . It has a prominence of 858 ft ( 262 m ) , and it is almost never climbed in direct conjunction with Columbia Crest , so it is usually considered a separate peak . If considered separately from Mt . Rainier , Little Tahoma Peak would be the third highest mountain peak in Washington . Geology ( edit ) Hazard map Mount Rainier is a stratovolcano in the Cascade Volcanic Arc that consists of lava flows , debris flows , and pyroclastic ejecta and flows . Its early volcanic deposits are estimated at more than 840,000 years old and are part of the Lily Formation ( about 2.9 million to 840,000 years ago ) . The early deposits formed a `` proto - Rainier '' or an ancestral cone prior to the present - day cone . The present cone is more than 500,000 years old . The volcano is highly eroded , with glaciers on its slopes , and appears to be made mostly of andesite . Rainier likely once stood even higher than today at about 16,000 ft ( 4,900 m ) before a major debris avalanche and the resulting Osceola Mudflow approximately 5,000 years ago . In the past , Rainier has had large debris avalanches , and has also produced enormous lahars ( volcanic mudflows ) due to the large amount of glacial ice present . Its lahars have reached all the way to Puget Sound , a distance of more than 30 mi ( 48 km ) . Around 5,000 years ago , a large chunk of the volcano slid away and that debris avalanche helped to produce the massive Osceola Mudflow , which went all the way to the site of present - day Tacoma and south Seattle . This massive avalanche of rock and ice removed the top 1,600 ft ( 500 m ) of Rainier , bringing its height down to around 14,100 ft ( 4,300 m ) . About 530 to 550 years ago , the Electron Mudflow occurred , although this was not as large - scale as the Osceola Mudflow . After the major collapse approximately 5,000 years ago , subsequent eruptions of lava and tephra built up the modern summit cone until about as recently as 1,000 years ago . As many as 11 Holocene tephra layers have been found . Modern activity and the current threat ( edit ) Teide Nyiragongo Vesuvius Etna Santorini Unzen Sakurajima Taal Merapi Ulawun Mauna Loa Colima Santa María Avachinsky Koryaksky Galeras Rainier Mount Rainier is one of the 16 Decade Volcanoes . The most recent recorded volcanic eruption was between 1820 and 1854 , but many eyewitnesses reported eruptive activity in 1858 , 1870 , 1879 , 1882 and 1894 as well . Although Mount Rainier is now dormant , as of 2016 Seismic monitors have been located in Mount Rainier National Park and on the mountain itself to monitor activity . However , an eruption could be deadly for all living in areas within the immediate vicinity of the volcano and an eruption would also cause trouble from Vancouver , Canada to San Francisco because of the massive amounts of ash blasting out of the volcano into the atmosphere . Mount Rainier is located in an area that itself is part of the eastern rim of the Pacific Ring of Fire . This includes mountains and calderas like Mount Shasta and Lassen Peak in California , Crater Lake , Three Sisters , and Mount Hood in Oregon , Mount Saint Helens , Mount Adams , Glacier Peak , and Mount Baker in Washington , and Mount Cayley , Garibaldi , Silverthrone , and Mount Meager in British Columbia . All of the above are dormant , but alive , and scientists on both sides of the border gather research of the past eruptions of each in order to predict how mountains in this arc will behave and what they are capable of in the future , including Mount Rainier . Of these , only two have erupted since the beginning of the twentieth century : Lassen in 1915 and St. Helens in 1980 and 2004 . However , past eruptions in this volcanic arc have multiple examples of sub-plinian eruptions or higher : Crater Lake 's last eruption as Mount Mazama was large enough to cause its cone to implode , and Mt . Rainier 's closest neighbor , Mount St. Helens , had a huge chunk of the side of the mountain blow up in a phreatic explosion caused by a mix of gas and water . Where St. Helens was once perfectly symmetrical there is now , thirty five years later , a huge crater at the top of one face . Statistics place the likelihood of a major eruption in this range at 2 - 3 per century . Mount Rainier is currently listed as a Decade Volcano , or one of the 16 volcanoes with the greatest likelihood of causing great loss of life and property if eruptive activity resumes . If Mt . Rainier were to erupt as powerfully as Mount St. Helens did in its May 18 , 1980 eruption , the effect would be cumulatively greater , because of the far more massive amounts of glacial ice locked on the volcano compared to Mount St. Helens , the vastly more heavily populated areas surrounding Rainier , and the simple fact that Mt Rainier is a much bigger volcano , almost twice the size of St. Helens . Lahars from Rainier pose the most risk to life and property , as many communities lie atop older lahar deposits . According to the United States Geological Survey ( USGS ) , about 150,000 people live on top of old lahar deposits of Rainier . Not only is there much ice atop the volcano , the volcano is also slowly being weakened by hydrothermal activity . According to Geoff Clayton , a geologist with a Washington State Geology firm , RH2 Engineering , a repeat of the Osceola mudflow would destroy Enumclaw , Orting , Kent , Auburn , Puyallup , Sumner and all of Renton . Such a mudflow might also reach down the Duwamish estuary and destroy parts of downtown Seattle , and cause tsunamis in Puget Sound and Lake Washington . Rainier is also capable of producing pyroclastic flows and expelling lava . One of many emergency evacuation route signs in case of volcanic eruption or lahar around Mt . Rainier According to K. Scott , a scientist with the USGS : `` A home built in any of the probabilistically defined inundation areas on the new maps is more likely to be damaged or destroyed by a lahar than by fire ... For example , a home built in an area that would be inundated every 100 years , on the average , is 27 times more likely to be damaged or destroyed by a flow than by fire . People know the danger of fire , so they buy fire insurance and they have smoke alarms , but most people are not aware of the risks of lahars , and few have applicable flood insurance . '' The volcanic risk is somewhat mitigated by lahar warning sirens and escape route signs in Pierce County . The more populous King County is also in the lahar area , but currently has no zoning restrictions due to volcanic hazard . More recently ( since 2001 ) funding from the federal government for lahar protection in the area has dried up , leading local authorities in at - risk cities like Orting to fear a disaster similar to the Armero tragedy . Seismic background ( edit ) Typically , up to five earthquakes are recorded monthly near the summit . Swarms of five to ten shallow earthquakes over two or three days take place from time to time , predominantly in the region of 13,000 feet ( 4 km ) below the summit . These earthquakes are thought to be caused by the circulation of hot fluids beneath Mount Rainier . Presumably , hot springs and steam vents within Mount Rainier National Park are generated by such fluids . Seismic swarms ( not initiated with a mainshock ) are common features at volcanoes , and are rarely associated with eruptive activity . Rainier has had several such swarms ; there were days - long swarms in 2002 , 2004 , and 2007 , two of which ( 2002 and 2004 ) included M 3.2 earthquakes . A 2009 swarm produced the largest number of events of any swarm at Rainier since seismic monitoring began over two decades earlier . Yet another swarm was observed in 2011 . Glaciers ( edit ) Three - dimensional representation of Mount Rainier Nisqually Glacier is seen clearly from the southeast of the mountain . Glaciers are among the most conspicuous and dynamic geologic features on Mount Rainier . They erode the volcanic cone and are important sources of streamflow for several rivers , including some that provide water for hydroelectric power and irrigation . Together with perennial snow patches , the 26 major glaciers cover about 36 square miles ( 93 km ) of the mountain 's surface and have a volume of about 1 cubic mile ( 4.2 km ) . Glaciers flow under the influence of gravity by the combined action of sliding over the rock on which they lie and by deformation , the gradual displacement between and within individual ice crystals . Maximum speeds occur near the surface and along the centerline of the glacier . During May 1970 , Nisqually Glacier was measured moving as fast as 29 inches ( 74 cm ) per day . Flow rates are generally greater in summer than in winter , probably due to the presence of large quantities of meltwater at the glacier base . The size of glaciers on Mount Rainier has fluctuated significantly in the past . For example , during the last ice age , from about 25,000 to about 15,000 years ago , glaciers covered most of the area now within the boundaries of Mount Rainier National Park and extended to the perimeter of the present Puget Sound Basin . Between the 14th century and 1850 , many of the glaciers on Mount Rainier advanced to their farthest extent downvalley since the last ice age . Many advances of this sort occurred worldwide during this time period known to geologists as the Little Ice Age . During the Little Ice Age , the Nisqually Glacier advanced to a position 650 to 800 ft ( 200 to 240 m ) downvalley from the site of the Glacier Bridge , Tahoma and South Tahoma Glaciers merged at the base of Glacier Island , and the terminus of Emmons Glacier reached within 1.2 mi ( 1.9 km ) of the White River Campground . Retreat of the Little Ice Age glaciers was slow until about 1920 when retreat became more rapid . Between the height of the Little Ice Age and 1950 , Mount Rainier 's glaciers lost about one - quarter of their length . Beginning in 1950 and continuing through the early 1980s , however , many of the major glaciers advanced in response to relatively cooler temperatures of the mid-century . The Carbon , Cowlitz , Emmons , and Nisqually Glaciers advanced during the late 1970s and early 1980s as a result of high snowfalls during the 1960s and 1970s . Since the early - 1980s , however , many glaciers have been thinning and retreating and some advances have slowed . The glaciers on Mount Rainier can generate mudflows , through glacial outburst floods not associated with any eruption . The South Tahoma Glacier generated 30 floods in the 1980s and early 1990s , and again in August , 2015 . Human History ( edit ) Artist rendering of Mount Tacoma from Commencement Bay , 1888 . Viewed from the northwest ( Tacoma ) , Liberty Cap is the apparent summit with Mowich Face below . At the time of European contact , the river valleys and other areas near the mountain were inhabited by many Pacific Northwest tribes who hunted and gathered berries in its forests and mountain meadows . These included the Nisqually , Cowlitz , Yakama , Puyallup , and Muckleshoot . Captain George Vancouver reached Puget Sound in early May 1792 and became the first European to see the mountain . In 1833 , Dr. William Fraser Tolmie explored the area looking for medicinal plants . Hazard Stevens and P.B. Van Trump received a hero 's welcome in the streets of Olympia after their successful summit climb in 1870 . The first female ascent was made in 1890 by Fay Fuller , accompanied by Van Trump and three other teammates . John Muir climbed Mount Rainier in 1888 , and although he enjoyed the view , he conceded that it was best appreciated from below . Muir was one of many who advocated protecting the mountain . In 1893 , the area was set aside as part of the Pacific Forest Reserve in order to protect its physical and economic resources , primarily timber and watersheds . Citing the need to also protect scenery and provide for public enjoyment , railroads and local businesses urged the creation of a national park in hopes of increased tourism . On March 2 , 1899 , President William McKinley established Mount Rainier National Park as America 's fifth national park . Congress dedicated the new park `` for the benefit and enjoyment of the people '' and `` ... for the preservation from injury or spoliation of all timber , mineral deposits , natural curiosities , or wonders within said park , and their retention in their natural condition . '' On 24 June 1947 , Kenneth Arnold reported seeing a formation of nine unidentified flying objects over Mount Rainier . His description led to the term `` flying saucers '' . In 1998 , the United States Geological Survey began putting together the Mount Rainier Volcano Lahar Warning System to assist in the emergency evacuation of the Puyallup River valley in the event of a catastrophic debris flow . It is now run by the Pierce County Department of Emergency Management . Tacoma , at the mouth of the Puyallup , is only 37 mi ( 60 km ) west of Rainier , and moderately sized towns such as Puyallup and Orting are only 27 and 20 mi ( 43 and 32 km ) away , respectively . Mt . Rainier appears on four distinct United States postage stamp issues . In 1934 , it was the 3 - cent issue in a series of National Park stamps , and was also shown on a souvenir sheet issued for a philatelic convention . The following year , in 1935 , both of these were reprinted by Postmaster General James A. Farley as special issues given to officials and friends . Because of complaints by the public , `` Farley 's Follies '' were reproduced in large numbers . The second stamp issue is easy to tell from the original because it is imperforate . Both stamps and souvenir sheets are widely available . The Washington state quarter , which was released on April 11 , 2007 , features Mount Rainier and a salmon . Climbing ( edit ) Climbers on Ingraham Glacier , above Little Tahoma Mountain climbing on Mount Rainier is difficult , involving traversing the largest glaciers in the U.S. south of Alaska . Most climbers require two to three days to reach the summit , with a success rate of approximately 50 % . Climbing teams require experience in glacier travel , self - rescue , and wilderness travel . About 8,000 to 13,000 people attempt the climb each year , about 90 % via routes from Camp Muir on the southeast flank . Most of the rest ascend Emmons Glacier via Camp Schurman on the northeast . About half of the attempts are successful , with weather and physical conditioning of the climbers being the most common reasons for failure . All climbers who plan to climb above high camps , Camp Muir and Camp Schurman , are required by law to purchase a Mount Rainier Climbing Pass and register for their climb . Additionally , solo climbers must fill out a solo climbing request form and receive written permission from the Superintendent before attempting to climb . Climbing routes ( edit ) All climbing routes on Mount Rainier require climbers to possess some level of technical climbing skill . This includes ascending and descending the mountain with the use of technical climbing equipment such as crampons , ice axes , harnesses , and ropes . Difficulty and technical challenge of climbing Mount Rainier can vary wildly between climbing routes . Routes are graded in NCCS Alpine Climbing format . The normal route to the summit of Mount Rainier is the Disappointment Cleaver Route , grade II - III . As climbers on this route have access to the permanently established Camp Muir , it sees the significant majority of climbing traffic on the mountain . This route is also the most common commercially guided route . The term `` cleaver '' is used in the context of a rock ridge that separates two glaciers . The reason for naming this cleaver a `` disappointment '' is unrecorded , but it is thought to be due to climbers reaching it only to recognize their inability to reach the summit . An alternative route to the Disappointment Cleaver is the Ingraham Glacier Direct Route , grade II , and is often used when the Disappointment Cleaver route can not be climbed due to poor route conditions . The Emmons Glacier Route , grade II , is an alternative to the Disappointment Cleaver route and poses a lower technical challenge to climbers . The climbers on the route can make use of Camp Schurman ( 9,500 ft ) , a glacial camp site . Unlike Camp Muir , Camp Schurman has no permanent structure , so climbers must carry their overnight equipment to the location . The Liberty Ridge Route , grade IV , was first climbed by Ome Daiber , Arnie Campbell and Jim Burrow in 1935 and is listed as one of the Fifty Classic Climbs of North America by Steve Roper and Allen Steck . The Liberty Ridge Route is a considerably more challenging and objectively dangerous route than the normal route to the summit . This route only accounts for approximately 2 % of climbers on the mountain , but accounts for approximately 25 % of deaths on the mountain . The Liberty Ridge Route runs up the center of the North Face of Mount Rainier and crosses the very active Carbon Glacier . Dangers and Accidents ( edit ) About two mountaineering deaths each year occur because of rock and ice fall , avalanche , falls , and hypothermia associated with severe weather ( 58 reported since and including the 1981 accident through 2010 per American Alpine Club Accidents in North American Mountaineering and the NPS ) . The worst mountaineering accident on Mount Rainier occurred in 1981 , when eleven people lost their lives in an ice fall on the Ingraham Glacier . This was the largest number of fatalities on Mount Rainier in a single incident since 32 people were killed in a 1946 plane crash on the South Tahoma Glacier . More recently , the mountain received media attention in 2012 , as one of the park rangers lost his life when several climbers were caught in a storm while trying to ascend the mountain . While trying to help load the climbers into a rescue helicopter , the ranger lost his footing , and slid 3,700 feet ( 1,100 m ) to his death . In one of the worst disasters on the mountain in over thirty years , six climbers -- two guides , and four clients -- last heard from on May 28 , 2014 , were presumed dead on May 31 , 2014 , when low - flying search helicopters pinged the signals from the avalanche beacons worn by the climbers . Officials concluded that there was no possible chance of survival after the climbers fell 3,300 feet ( 1,000 m ) while attempting or returning from the summit via the Liberty Ridge climbing route . Searchers found tents and clothes along with rock and ice strewn across a debris field on the Carbon Glacier at 9,500 ft ( 2,900 m ) , possible evidence for a slide or avalanche in the vicinity where the team went missing , though the exact cause of the accident is unknown . The bodies of three of the guest climbers were spotted on August 7 , 2014 , during a training flight and subsequently recovered on August 19 , 2014 . The bodies of the fourth guest climber and two guides have not been located . Outdoor recreation ( edit ) Hiking , backcountry skiing , photography , and camping are popular in the park . Hiking trails , including the Wonderland Trail -- a 93 - mile or 150 - kilometre circumnavigation of the peak -- provide access to the backcountry . Mount Rainier is also popular for winter sports , including snowshoeing and cross-country skiing . Climate ( edit ) The summit of Mount Rainier has an alpine climate .

Directed by Zack Snyder , the film is the second installment in the DC Extended Universe ( DCEU ) . It was written by Chris Terrio and David S. Goyer , and features an ensemble cast that includes Ben Affleck , Henry Cavill , Amy Adams , Jesse Eisenberg , Diane Lane , Laurence Fishburne , Jeremy Irons , Holly Hunter , and Gal Gadot . Batman v Superman : Dawn of Justice is the first live - action film to feature Batman and Superman together , as well as the first live - action cinematic portrayal of Wonder Woman . In the film , criminal mastermind Lex Luthor ( Eisenberg ) manipulates Batman ( Affleck ) into a preemptive battle with Superman ( Cavill ) , whom Luthor is obsessed with defeating . The film was announced at the 2013 San Diego Comic - Con after the release of Man of Steel . Snyder stated that the film would take inspiration from the Batman comic book series The Dark Knight Returns by Frank Miller , but clarified that it would follow an original premise . The incarnation of Batman in the film is different from the character 's previous portrayal in The Dark Knight Trilogy , serving as a cinematic reboot of the character . The film is also inspired by narrative elements from the `` Death of Superman '' . Pre-production began at East Los Angeles College in October 2013 , with principal photography starting in May 2014 in Detroit . Additional filming also took place in Illinois and New Mexico , concluding that December . Batman v Superman : Dawn of Justice premiered at the Auditorio Nacional in Mexico City on March 19 , 2016 , and was released in the United States on March 25 , 2016 in 2D , Real D 3D , IMAX 3D , IMAX , 4DX , premium large formats , and 70 mm prints by Warner Bros. Pictures . Following a strong debut that set new box office records , the film experienced a historic drop in its second weekend and never recovered . Despite turning a profit , it received generally unfavorable reviews from critics for its tone , screenplay , and pacing , though some praised its visual style and acting performances . An extended cut dubbed the `` Ultimate Edition '' , which features 31 minutes of additional footage , was released digitally on June 28 , 2016 , and on Blu - ray on July 19 , 2016 . A direct sequel , titled Justice League , was released in November 2017 .

Billionaire Bruce Wayne , who has operated in Gotham City as the vigilante Batman for twenty years , sees Superman as an extraterrestrial threat to humanity . After learning of Batman 's form of justice , Clark Kent ( Superman 's civilian identity ) seeks to expose him via Daily Planet articles . Wayne learns that Russian weapon trafficker Anatoli Knyazev has been contacting LexCorp mogul Lex Luthor . Meanwhile , Luthor unsuccessfully tries to persuade Senator June Finch to allow him to import kryptonite retrieved from the Indian Ocean following Zod 's terraforming attempt , claiming he wants to maintain it as a `` deterrent '' against future Kryptonian and metahuman threats . He instead makes alternative plans with Finch 's subordinate and gains access to Zod 's body and the Kryptonian scout ship . Bruce attends a gala at LexCorp to steal encrypted data from the company 's mainframe , but has it taken from him by an antiquities dealer named Diana Prince ; she eventually returns it to Bruce when she is unable to access the information . While decrypting the drive , Bruce dreams of a post-apocalyptic world where he leads a group of rebels against an evil Superman . He is awakened from his dream by an unidentified person , appearing through a portal , who warns him of Lois Lane 's crucial role in the future , and urges him to find `` the others '' before vanishing . Upon fully decrypting the drive , Wayne discovers Luthor 's files on several metahuman individuals across the globe . One of them is Prince herself , who is shown in a photo taken during World War I. Wayne admits to Alfred Pennyworth that he plans to steal the kryptonite to weaponize it , should it become necessary to fight Superman . At a Congressional hearing , as Finch questions Superman on the validity of his actions , a bomb smuggled by Luthor goes off and kills everyone present but Superman . Believing he should have detected the bomb , and frustrated by his failure to save them , Superman goes into self - imposed exile . Batman breaks into LexCorp and steals the kryptonite . In preparation to battle Superman , he builds a powered exoskeleton , creates a kryptonite grenade launcher , and a kryptonite - tipped spear . Meanwhile , Luthor enters the Kryptonian ship and accesses a vast technology database accumulated from over 100,000 worlds . To bring Superman out of exile , Luthor kidnaps Lois and Martha Kent , Clark 's adoptive mother . He reveals to Superman that he manipulated Superman and Batman by fueling their distrust for each other . Luthor demands that Superman kill Batman in exchange for Martha 's life . Superman tries to explain the situation to Batman , but instead Batman attacks Superman and eventually subdues him with the aid of a kryptonite gas . Before Batman can kill Superman with the spear , Superman urges Batman to `` save Martha '' , whose name is also shared with Bruce 's late mother . Wayne 's father echoed a similar sentiment just before dying . Realizing the fault in his plan , and being unwilling to let an innocent die , Batman ends his attack and the fight ends . He rescues Martha , while Superman confronts Luthor on a scout ship . Luthor executes his backup plan , unleashing a genetically engineered monster with DNA from both Zod 's body and his own blood . Diana Prince arrives unexpectedly ; revealing her metahuman nature , she joins forces with Batman and Superman to eliminate the creature . When they are all outmatched , Superman realizes its vulnerability to kryptonite , and retrieves the spear to kill it . In the creature 's last moments , it kills Superman . Luthor is arrested and Batman confronts him in prison , warning Luthor that he will always be watching him . Luthor gloats that Superman 's death has made the world vulnerable to powerful alien threats . A memorial is held for Superman in Metropolis . Clark is also declared dead , with various friends and family members including Bruce Wayne and Diana Prince attending his funeral in Smallville . Martha gives an envelope to Lois , which contains an engagement ring from Clark . After the funeral , Bruce expresses his regrets to Diana about how he failed Superman . He reveals to her that he plans to form a team of metahumans , starting with those from Luthor 's files , to help protect the world in Superman 's absence . After they leave , the dirt atop Clark 's coffin levitates . Cast ( edit ) Ben Affleck as Bruce Wayne / Batman : A billionaire socialite and owner of Wayne Enterprises who dedicates himself to protecting Gotham City from its criminal underworld as a highly trained , masked vigilante . The Batsuit in this film is made of fabric as opposed to the armored suits in previous portrayals , and a mechanical suit is also featured which Batman uses in his fight against Superman . On Batman 's suit , Zack Snyder commented `` I had a really strong idea about what I wanted to do -- I really wanted to do sort of a fabric - based Batman ; not what 's become the more normal , armored Batman . That 's how we evolved it . '' Unlike previous versions who spoke in a deeper voice as Batman , this version uses a voice modulator to distort his real voice , with Affleck stating a well known billionaire would likely have his voice recognized . When asked what makes this Batman different from the previous portrayals , Affleck said this Batman `` is a little older , he 's a little more world weary . He 's been around the block once or twice so he 's a little wiser but he 's definitely more cynical and a little darker and more jaded '' , adding that Batman has gotten `` more exposed to the violence and the criminal element of that world over time . '' The film 's Batman was influenced by Frank Miller 's The Dark Knight Returns , which shows Batman in his 50s . Snyder said , `` I definitely wanted an older Batman . I wanted a war - weary Batman . That 's why , in a lot of ways , Ben was really perfect for me - we kind of aged him a little bit . It worked really great . I 'm really excited about the Batman we created . '' On Affleck 's casting as Batman , Snyder said , `` Ben provides an interesting counterbalance to Henry 's Superman . He has the acting chops to create a layered portrayal of a man who is older and wiser than Clark Kent and bears the scars of a seasoned crime fighter , but retain the charm that the world sees in billionaire Bruce Wayne . '' Affleck praised Snyder for tackling the impact of the destruction caused in Metropolis in the previous installment , saying , `` One of the things I liked was Zack 's idea of showing accountability and the consequences of violence and seeing that there are real people in those buildings '' , adding , `` And in fact , one of those buildings was Bruce Wayne 's building so he knew people who died in that Black Zero event '' . Brandon Spink portrays a young Bruce Wayne . Henry Cavill as Clark Kent / Superman : A Metropolis - based Kryptonian survivor and a journalist for the Daily Planet who uses his extraterrestrial abilities to protect humanity . Superman 's suit in Batman v Superman is somewhat similar to that in Man of Steel , but with enhanced , high - tech - style surface detail and a shinier , more metallic - looking cape . A quote written in Kryptonian was added into Superman 's symbol which says `` Where we had thought to stand alone , we will be with all the world '' . As to how Superman has embraced his role as a hero since the previous installment , Cavill said `` He 's more used to this gig , doing his best to save as many lives as he can '' , further explaining , `` He is no longer frantic . He 's no longer a wet - behind - the - ears kind of superhero . '' And as to how Superman views Batman 's approach to crime fighting , Cavill said `` He does n't agree with his form of justice . For this farm boy , who tries to do things the right way , justice at any cost is not something he can come to terms with '' hoping to use his position as a journalist for the Daily Planet to `` show the world what this Batman dude is doing . '' The film addresses the destruction caused by Superman and Zod in Metropolis , a part of Man of Steel that was criticized for being too extensive for Superman , to which Snyder responded `` I was surprised because that 's the thesis of Superman for me , that you ca n't just have superheroes knock around and have there be no consequences '' . On what the public perception of Superman is in the film , Cavill said `` In this movie , everyone has split into different directions as to how they feel about this alien '' , adding , `` Some people love him , some hate him . Other people fear him . Is he a tyrant ? '' When asked how Superman has evolved since Man of Steel , Cavill said `` Superman himself is n't that different . He does , however , have to deal with a new set of problems because he 's now been revealed to the world . This film is more about how the world in general -- and Batman in particular -- sees this alien , and less about the evolution of Superman . '' Cavill described Superman and Batman as being the `` two sides of the same coin . They have the same goal , but use very different methods to achieve it . Understandably , that leads them to clash with one another , and their conflict is a historic moment . '' Amy Adams as Lois Lane : A reporter for the Daily Planet and love interest of Clark Kent . About her role , Adams stated that `` Lois is still sort of like the key to the information . She 's the girl going out and getting it and figuring it out and putting it together and all of that , so she 's very much involved . '' When asked on her thoughts on portraying Lois Lane in the film , Adams replied `` I love that she 's fearless . I 'm not that way so it 's really fun that she really is not afraid of the consequences . '' On Lois Lane and Clark Kent 's relationship in the film , Adams said , `` What 's great about this is that , as far as the relationship with Lois and Clark goes , when we meet them you can tell that they 've been in a relationship for while , '' further explaining , `` So it was great to get to develop that sort of intimacy and that sort of friendship that I 've developed with Henry , to get to bring that to the screen . '' She also described Clark Kent as being Lois Lane 's connection to humanity and said , `` She may have some tunnel vision , but she 's got a job and moral standards . ( When ) we met her before , she would do anything to get the story -- now Clark has instilled some faith in humanity in her . Her relationship with Clark is the closest thing she has to anything faith - based , you know ? Although moving in with Clark brings issues . '' Jesse Eisenberg as Lex Luthor : An eccentric young businessman and hereditary CEO of LexCorp who is obsessed with defeating Superman . Luthor is usually depicted as bald in the comics while the film 's version of Luthor depicts him with hair throughout the majority of the film . When speaking about his portrayal of Luthor compared to previous portrayals , Eisenberg said , `` When you 're doing a movie like this and playing a character that 's already been played , the further away it is from those previous incarnations the better '' , adding , `` Because chances are , especially with a guy like Gene Hackman or Kevin Spacey , you 're not going to get favorably compared . '' Eisenberg explained his character 's background as having `` a core of reality '' , saying , `` ( Luthor ) has a backstory that 's tragic and an emotional inner life that 's authentic . That 's in the movie . It was my interest in playing the character with a real emotional core , and this writer , Chris Terrio 's interest in creating a character that seemed viable in reality . '' On Luthor 's behavior and attitude towards Superman , Eisenberg said , `` He is a narcissist of the first order but complicated in that way as well in that he is terribly troubled and competitive and vengeful . He looks at Superman not as somebody to destroy but as genuine threat to humanity . '' Eisenberg described his role as Lex Luthor as his most advantageous role yet , saying , `` In a lot of ways Luthor is more of a stretch than any character you would do in an independent movie , which is normally the place you stretch . So in that way it was not at all compromised . If anything it was the best , most advantageous role I 've ever been given . The opportunity to do an interesting character on a movie of that scale is incredibly rare . '' Eisenberg describes a theme in the film , saying `` It raises the question of how one man can have so much power . These are the kind of things that we talk about authoritarian states . They 're addressing geopolitics in this movie and not in a way that 's pretentious or esoteric '' . Diane Lane as Martha Kent : Clark 's adoptive mother . On her role as Superman 's mother , Lane stated , `` I always said if I had a son that would be the ultimate test . Raise a good man -- there 's something noble about that . '' When asked on her experience working with Zack Snyder on Batman v Superman , Lane said she was impressed by Snyder 's imagination and added , `` Who gets offered the opportunity to bring such things to the screen for millions of people ? That 's tremendous . It 's an honor and a burden , and I ca n't imagine shouldering that load . '' On Martha Kent 's support for her son Superman , Lane stated , `` I think that she 's reminding him he does have a choice '' , further explaining , `` He does n't have to be yoked to this destiny . He can actually feel the pleasure of making the choice . '' Laurence Fishburne as Perry White : The editor - in - chief of the Daily Planet and Clark and Lois ' boss . When asked about reprising his role in the film , Fishburne said , `` I was happy to come back to the character . I got really excited when I read it and I saw what was at the center at the movie , which was this huge fight between these two titans . '' On Perry White 's role in the film , Fishburne said , `` He 's dealing with the fact that his medium looks like it 's going the way of the dinosaurs , so that 's a difficult position to be in '' , adding , the `` good news is he 's got a great reporter like Lois Lane and a new great reporter like Clark Kent who are interested and hungry to do the job . '' Describing Perry White 's working relationship with Lois Lane , Fisburne stated , `` She 's my favorite child and she 's my problem child . '' On his experience filming and his character 's interactions , Fishburne said , `` It was really just a couple of days in the beginning with Lois , Clark , and Perry . And the rest was just me with Lois , figuring out how to get her where she needed to go . But the relationships I think were established really well in Man of Steel . '' Jeremy Irons as Alfred Pennyworth : Bruce Wayne 's butler , chief of security and trusted confidant . Irons described his take on Alfred Pennyworth as being `` quite a different Alfred than we have seen so far . Zack Snyder had very clear views about what he wanted . I would just say he 's more hands - on perhaps than just a butler . '' When asked what makes his Alfred different than from previous portrayals , Irons said , `` Zack Snyder , the director , wanted to create a completely different Alfred . So I felt I did n't have to carry any baggage from previous ones . It 's sort of a reincarnation , if you 'd like . I had a feeling I was creating my own Alfred , more of a man who can actually do anything if he has to . '' According to Irons , Alfred is `` a bit of a grease monkey , and he 's very involved in the decisions Bruce makes . '' On how Alfred would be in the film , Irons stated , `` He has an interesting history . He 's a very competent man . He 's the sort of man I think anyone would like to be married to . He can sort of do everything : change light bulbs , blow up bridges if he has to . '' Holly Hunter as June Finch : United States Senator from Kentucky who heads the political argument on Superman and his actions . Describing her experience on being in the film , Hunter said , `` It was really fun to be part of a giant , massive piece of machinery , headed up by Zack Snyder , who is thoroughly at home in that uber mega environment . Most people would have a nervous breakdown with that kind of pressure , and he 's enthralled . '' When asked how she got involved in the film , Hunter said , `` Zack asked me . He came to me with an offer , and I was like , ' Yeah , that would be fun . ' It 's fun to mix it up . I have scenes with Superman . He looks phenomenal . And to see Ben ( Affleck , who plays Batman ) and Henry ( Cavill , who plays Superman ) together is quite formidable . '' On acting in a superhero film , Hunter stated , `` Being somebody who 's like a theater geek that I am , I can just go right back to Aeschylus and Euripides and Sophocles . They were writing about gods and goddesses versus humans , and how gods could distort , pervert or help people get what they want . And so , for me , this did n't feel foreign because that was the translation that it went through for me ; that was my filter . '' On her character 's views on Superman , Hunter stated , `` What is her problem with Superman ? That absolute power corrupts absolutely . When power is acting autonomously , unilaterally with no legislation , with no boundaries , with no law , except for the ones that he deems in his own mind , that can be detrimental . '' Describing her character , Hunter said , `` I thought that , you know , as a senator , she brought her female - ness to the job in how she listened , in her curiosity , in her ability to evaluate '' , adding , `` ( It ) felt very female to me . '' Gal Gadot as Diana Prince / Wonder Woman : An immortal Amazonian warrior who is the crown princess of Themyscira . Wonder Woman 's suit is made out of chrome - painted polyurethane , and she uses her hand wraps and sword harnesses . Gadot described her character as having `` many strengths and powers , but at the end of the day , she 's a woman with a lot of emotional intelligence '' . Describing Wonder Woman 's compassion , Gadot stated , `` It 's all her heart -- that 's her strength . I think women are amazing for being able to show what they feel . I admire women who do . '' On her thoughts on portraying Wonder Woman , Gadot said , `` You know Wonder Woman ; she 's amazing . I love everything that she represents and everything that she stands for . She 's all about love and compassion and truth and justice and equality , and she 's a whole lot of woman . For me , it was important that people can relate to her . '' Describing her role in the film , Gadot said , `` In this movie you get a glimpse of who Wonder Woman is -- she 's being introduced into this DC Comics universe . But we were talking about her strengths , her façade , her attitude . Why is she acting the way she is ? '' On Wonder Woman 's battle scene with Doomsday , Gadot stated , `` I remember after we did that take , Zack came to me and he said , ' Did you just have a smirk ? ' I said , ' Yeah . ' And he asked , ' Why ? I think I like it , but why ? ' ' Well , if he 's gon na mess with her , then she 's gon na mess with him . And she knows she 's gon na win . ' At the end of the day , Wonder Woman is a peace seeker . But when fight arrives , she can fight . She 's a warrior and she enjoys the adrenaline of the fight . '' Gadot also stated `` I do n't want people to think she is perfect '' , further explaining , `` She can be naughty . '' On Gadot 's casting as Wonder Woman , Snyder said `` Wonder Woman is arguably one of the most powerful female characters of all time and a fan favorite in the DC Universe . Not only is Gal an amazing actress , but she also has that magical quality that makes her perfect for the role . '' Gadot underwent a diet and training regimen , practiced different martial arts and gained 17 pounds of muscle for the role . Gadot was previously offered the role as Faora Hu - Ul in Man of Steel but declined because she was pregnant at that time ; this allowed her to be later cast as Wonder Woman in Batman v Superman : Dawn of Justice . Scoot McNairy as Wallace Keefe : An amputee employee of Wayne Enterprises who is crippled during the destruction of Metropolis and holds Superman responsible . McNairy describes his character as a type of character who he has never played before and stated `` getting into that thing was definitely something I had to wrap my head around emotionally in order to play that character . '' When asked if the character was being kept as a surprise until the film 's release , McNairy said `` I do n't know if I 'd call it necessarily a surprise . I would say it 's a character that lends itself to the story being told . '' On his thoughts on being in the film , McNairy stated `` Playing in that world with comic books you 've been reading since you were a kid , being someone in that world , it 's awesome . '' Callan Mulvey as Anatoli Knyazev : A Russian terrorist who works for Luthor . On casting Mulvey in the film , Zack Snyder stated , `` I just had the good fortune to work with Callan on 300 : Rise of an Empire and was very impressed with his incredible talent , '' further adding , `` He 's a fantastic actor and I 'm looking forward to having the chance to work with him again . '' On working with Snyder again , Mulvey stated `` Zack is such a visionary , so I know it 's going to be an amazing project . Talent as a director aside , people really love working for Zack and being on his sets , which says it all really . '' Tao Okamoto as Mercy Graves : Assistant to Luthor . On her role in the film , Okamoto said `` It was so fascinating . I did n't have a big speaking role . I used to act as sassy girls all the time as a model so that was n't so challenging to me . But I enjoyed it so much , being mean . I tried to be mean . '' On Okamoto 's casting , Snyder said `` Tao is a striking presence whose beauty is aptly rivaled by her amazing abilities as an actress . I 'm really excited to have her joining us on this adventure . '' Robin Atkin Downes as Doomsday : A monstrous creature created by Kryptonian technology after Luthor mixes his own blood with General Zod 's DNA in a reanimation chamber . Downes portrayed the character through motion capture and voice - over work . Although the character is not named , the role was kept under such heavy secrecy that Downes did not know who he was playing until the second trailer was released . On his role , Downes stated that he was proud to be part of the film and expressed his admiration in helping bring Doomsday to life in Batman v Superman : Dawn of Justice . When asked why Doomsday was chosen to be in the film , Zack Snyder stated `` To go up against heroes like Batman and Superman , we wanted to introduce one of the DC Universe 's most iconic and powerful villains '' , further explaining , `` He is essentially an unstoppable force . He poses a real threat to the world within the film . '' Snyder has confirmed Doomsday will return in the DCEU , stating `` Well , you have Doomsday , right ? He does n't just crawl out of the ground . He has his own mythology , right ? So that has to be explored . '' Downes has previously provided voice roles for various DC animated films and shows as well as DC video games . Snyder later explained that the monster in the film is not the first time the alien technology has generated the villain and stated that the original Doomsday is still alive . This was briefly referenced by the Kryptonian A.I. , Kelor , calling the previous creation `` Bertron 's curse '' during the events of the movie . Additionally , Jeffrey Dean Morgan and Lauren Cohan portray Thomas and Martha Wayne , Bruce Wayne 's deceased parents , Patrick Wilson portrays the President of the United States in a voice role , and Michael Cassidy portrays Jimmy Olsen , a CIA agent . Reprising their roles from Man of Steel are Harry Lennix as Secretary Calvin Swanwick , Christina Wren as Major Carrie Farris , Kevin Costner as Jonathan Kent , Rebecca Buller as Jenny Jurwich , Chad Krowchuk as Glen Woodburn , and Carla Gugino as the Kryptonian A.I. Kelor . The corpse of General Zod also appears in the film in a crucial role ; however , Michael Shannon did not film any scenes for the film and the corpse was created using the physique of fitness model Greg Plitt and a head - shot of Shannon . Mark Edward Taylor portrays Jack O'Dwyer , an executive of Wayne Enterprises . Ezra Miller , Jason Momoa , and Ray Fisher appear as Barry Allen / Flash , Arthur Curry / Aquaman , and Victor Stone / Cyborg respectively in brief appearances , which led to their inclusion in the Justice League film . Joe Morton appears in a role as Silas Stone , Victor 's father . U.S. Senator Patrick Leahy makes a cameo appearance as Senator Purrington , whilst U.S. Senator Debbie Stabenow also makes a cameo as the Governor of New Jersey . Neil deGrasse Tyson , Soledad O'Brien , Anderson Cooper , Nancy Grace and Charlie Rose appear as themselves . Jena Malone was cast as S.T.A.R. Labs scientist Jenet Klyburn , but her scenes were cut from the theatrical release , along with Man of Steel characters Coburn Goss as Father Leone and Joseph Cranford as Pete Ross ; they were restored for the Ultimate Edition home media release . Talk show host Jon Stewart has a cameo in the extended cut . To further establish the interconnection between the films of the shared universe , Chris Pine appears on Diana Prince 's photo as Steve Trevor , which he reprised in Wonder Woman . Production ( edit ) Development ( edit ) `` ... after Man of Steel finished and we started talking about what would be in the next movie , I started subtly mentioning that it would be cool if he faced Batman ... You 're in a story meeting talking about , like , who should ( Superman ) fight if he fought this giant alien threat Zod who was basically his equal physically , from his planet , fighting on our turf ... You know , who to fight next ? ... But I 'm not gon na say at all that when I took the job to do Man of Steel that I did it in a subversive way to get to Batman . I really believe that only after contemplating who could face ( Superman ) did Batman come into the picture . '' -- Snyder , on how Batman came into the film In June 2013 , Warner Bros. announced that director Zack Snyder and screenwriter David S. Goyer would return for a Man of Steel sequel , with the studio considering the release for the film in 2015 . The following month , Snyder confirmed at San Diego Comic - Con International that the sequel to Man of Steel would feature Superman and Batman meeting for the first time on film . Goyer and Snyder would co-write the story , with Goyer authoring the script , and Christopher Nolan involved in an advisory role as executive producer . According to Snyder , the film would take inspiration from the comic The Dark Knight Returns . In November 2013 , Snyder clarified his film would not be based upon the aforementioned graphic novel . `` If you were going to do that , you would need a different Superman . We 're bringing Batman into the universe that now this Superman lives in . '' Batman v Superman marks the first appearance of Wonder Woman in a live - action , theatrical film , which Warner Bros. had been developing as far back as 1996 . In December 2013 , Chris Terrio was hired to rewrite the script , due to Goyer 's commitments to other projects . Further commenting on the influences , Terrio revealed in an article published by the Wall Street Journal that the movie would draw inspiration from Nolan 's Batman trilogy , Italian semiotician Umberto Eco 's 1972 essay `` The Myth of Superman '' , and the W.H. Auden poem `` Musée des Beaux Arts '' which contrasts the quotidian details of normal people 's lives with the epic struggles of mythological figures . According to him , `` In superhero stories , Batman is Pluto , god of the underworld , and Superman is Apollo , god of the sky . That began to be really interesting to me -- that their conflict is not just due to manipulation , but their very existence . '' The Joker and the Riddler were supposed to appear in the film , but Snyder ultimately decided to cut them from the final script . The film 's official title , Batman v Superman : Dawn of Justice , was revealed in May 2014 . Snyder stated that having the `` v '' in the title instead of `` vs . '' was a way `` to keep it from being a straight ' versus ' movie , even in the most subtle way '' . Henry Cavill later stated , `` I would n't call this a Superman sequel ( ... ) This is Batman versus Superman . It 's a separate entity altogether . It 's introducing the Batman character and expanding upon the universe , which was kicked off by Man of Steel . '' Forbes noted that although the film originated as a sequel to Man of Steel , it was `` revamped into a backdoor pilot for Justice League and / or an eventual stand - alone Batman movie . '' As part of a settlement with his heirs , this is the first Batman production that lists Bill Finger as a co-creator . Casting ( edit ) From left : Zack Snyder ( director ) , Holly Hunter , Jeremy Irons , Gal Gadot , Jesse Eisenberg , Amy Adams , Henry Cavill and Ben Affleck at the 2015 San Diego Comic - Con Henry Cavill , Amy Adams , Kevin Costner , Diane Lane , Laurence Fishburne , Harry Lennix and Christina Wren reprise their roles from Man of Steel . Joining the cast are Ben Affleck as Batman , Gal Gadot as Wonder Woman , Jesse Eisenberg as Lex Luthor , Jeremy Irons as Alfred Pennyworth , Ray Fisher as Cyborg , Jason Momoa as Aquaman , and Tao Okamoto as Luthor 's assistant Mercy Graves . Scoot McNairy and Callan Mulvey were cast as Wallace Keefe and Anatoli Knyazev , while Jena Malone was cast as Jenet Klyburn , a character that was featured exclusively in the Ultimate Edition home media release . Dawn of Justice is Affleck 's second film as a comic book superhero ; he played Daredevil in the 2003 film of the same name , and was initially reluctant to accept playing Batman , citing that he `` felt ( he ) did n't fit the traditional mold . But once Zack ( Snyder ) showed ( him ) the concept , and that it would be both different from the great movies that Chris ( topher Nolan ) and Christian ( Bale ) made , but still in keeping with tradition , ( he ) was excited . '' Affleck previously stated in 2006 that Daredevil had `` inoculated ( him ) from ever playing another superhero '' . Snyder cast an older Batman to be a layered juxtaposition against a younger Superman ; while `` bear ( ing ) the scars of a seasoned crime fighter , but retain ( ing ) the charm that the world sees in billionaire Bruce Wayne . '' Nolan was involved with the casting of Affleck and he was the first actor Snyder approached for the part . The director had also discussed the part with Josh Brolin . Bale admitted he wanted to play Batman again after The Dark Knight Rises , though he stated that his Batman does not belong in any other film and he was never approached by Warner Bros. to play the role again . On casting Eisenberg as Lex Luthor , Snyder offered , `` Having Jesse in the role allows us to explore that interesting dynamic , and also take the character in some new and unexpected directions '' . Bryan Cranston was considered for the role before Eisenberg was cast . Producer Charles Roven revealed that this incarnation of Wonder Woman would use the character 's origins from 2011 's The New 52 reboot of the DC continuity , wherein the character would be a demigoddess , and the daughter of Zeus . This deviates from the character 's original origins , where she was `` a clay figure brought to life by the gods '' . Olga Kurylenko was considered for the role of Wonder Woman before Gadot was cast . Dawn of Justice is Ray Fisher 's feature film debut , and the first live - action film to feature Cyborg , whose role will become more significant in future DC Comics films . It is also the live - action theatrical debut of Aquaman . The casting of Affleck , Gadot , and Eisenberg was criticized . Affleck 's casting caused significant backlash from comic book fans , with multiple online petitions demanding his removal from the role ; unlike previous Batman actors , he was not considered intimidating enough for the role by the protesters . Conversely , PopMatters journalist J.C. Maçek III supported Affleck 's casting as Batman , stating , `` Way back when the news was new I wrote a PopMatters article defending the choice of Ben Affleck as Batman . I 'll let that one speak for itself . '' Via social media , fans criticized Gadot 's small frame in contrast to Wonder Woman 's warrior - like build in the comics . Responding to this , Gadot stated that she had been participating in various training regimens to achieve a body that stays closer to the source material . Fans also criticized Eisenberg 's casting , feeling that the then - 30 - year - old was too young for the role , and not physically imposing enough . Upon the film 's release , both Affleck and Gadot received considerable praise for their performances , despite the overall negative reception of the film itself . Design ( edit ) Michael Wilkinson reprised his duties as costume designer . He updated the Superman suit from Man of Steel so that it `` feels fresh and right for this installment of Zack Snyder 's comic - book universe '' . The first Batsuit featured in the film is influenced by The Dark Knight Returns ; unlike the suits seen in previous live - action Batman films , it is made of cloth instead of armor and is a cast of the physique of fitness model Rossano Rea . An image of the Wonder Woman costume was revealed at the 2014 San Diego Comic - Con , in which the costume desaturates the red , blue , and gold colors that make up the costume of most versions of the character . A second Batsuit was also unveiled at Comic - Con , and unlike the first , it is armored . Aquaman 's look in this film shows him `` tattooed in Maori - like patterns '' , and wearing a suit `` decked out in shades of gold , black and silver armor '' . According to the Warner Bros. Studios lot , the next generation Batmobile combined inspiration from both the sleek , streamlined design of classic Batmobiles and the high - suspension , military build from the more recent Tumbler from The Dark Knight Trilogy . Designed by production designer Patrick Tatopoulos , the Batmobile is about 20 feet long and 12 feet wide . The glasses Cavill wears as Clark Kent are made by British spectacle designer Tom Davies . Filming ( edit ) In September 2013 , Larry Fong joined the crew as cinematographer , having previously worked with Zack Snyder on 300 , Watchmen , and Sucker Punch . Initial filming commenced on October 19 , 2013 , at East Los Angeles College , to shoot an American football game between Gotham City University and rival Metropolis State University . At the end of the month , construction began on the Kent farm seen in Man of Steel for the film . Principal photography involving the main cast of the film began on May 19 , 2014 , in Detroit , Michigan , with scenes featuring Gal Gadot as Diana Prince being filmed early on May 16 . While filming in Michigan , the production spent a total of $199 million in the state . The scene of a state funeral at the Arlington National Cemetery , a tribute by the United States Army , was actually filmed in Michigan as well , using green screen . Additional filming began in Chicago , Illinois in November 2014 . Other locations included the Michigan Motion Picture Studios , the Eli and Edythe Broad Art Museum at Michigan State University , Yorkville , Illinois , and New Mexico . Sequences of the film , including a scene depicting the murder of Bruce Wayne 's parents , were filmed using IMAX cameras . The planned shoot in Morocco was shifted to New Mexico due to incidents related to the 2014 Ebola outbreak . Principal photography wrapped on December 5 , 2014 . Music and soundtrack ( edit ) Main article : Batman v Superman : Dawn of Justice ( soundtrack ) Hans Zimmer composed the film score , emphasizing a challenge not to reuse the themes he established with the Batman character from Christopher Nolan 's trilogy . Junkie XL , who provided additional music in Man of Steel , also returned for this film , helping to compose the theme for Batman . Originally , Zimmer enlisted Junkie XL to compose the Batman material , with Zimmer planning to focus solely on the Superman side of the score , but the final Batman theme was written by both composers as a collaboration . Zimmer noted that he had significant trouble in finding a new angle from which to tell the story and after the release of the film , Zimmer announced that he was retired from superhero films . The soundtrack album of the film was released on March 18 , 2016 by WaterTower Music . Songs featured in the film include : `` Kang Ling ( An Instrument Made From A Human Thigh Bone ) '' , a traditional song performed by the monks of the Dip Tse Chok Ling Monastery , Dharamshala ; `` Night and Day '' and `` Ev'ry Time We Say Goodbye '' written by Cole Porter and performed by Richard Cheese ; `` Shostakovich : Waltz II ( Jazz Suite No. 2 ) '' written by Dmitri Shostakovich performed by the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra conducted by Riccardo Chailly ; and `` Amazing Grace '' arranged and performed by John Allan and again performed by the Canadian Scottish Regiment Pipes and Drums and the United States Third Marine Aircraft Wing Band . Marketing ( edit ) The Batman and Superman costumes from the film at the 2015 San Diego Comic - Con An estimated $165 million marketing effort helped promote Batman v Superman : Dawn of Justice . At the 2014 San Diego Comic - Con International , Snyder introduced the film 's first footage intended to be exclusive to the event . A teaser trailer was scheduled to be screened in selected cinemas on April 20 , 2015 . However , on April 16 , the trailer leaked online , and within a few hours Snyder officially released the trailer to Twitter . At the 2015 San Diego Comic - Con International , Snyder and the cast attended to present an initial trailer of the film . The trailer was , unlike the teaser , which received mixed response , positively received by attendees , who gave the trailer a standing ovation . Mark Hughes of Forbes said the trailers `` both set the stage for a story about the world 's distrust and fear of Superman , Batman 's rage at Superman and intention to duke it out with the Man of Steel , and Wonder Woman 's participation in a big fight featuring the ' Trinity . ' '' Warner Bros. Consumer Products partnered - up with `` a powerhouse slate of global licensees for a broad , multi-category licensing and merchandising program '' , including Mattel , Lego , Rubies , Funko , Thinkway Toys , Hot Toys , Junkfood , Bioworld , Pez , Seiko , Converse and among many other licensees to sell merchandise related to the film . Fiat Chrysler Automobiles was also a licensee for the film , offering a special edition Jeep Renegade in exchange for a near - exclusive product placement deal ; aside from Bruce Wayne 's Aston Martin , all vehicles in the film were either from Chrysler , Dodge , Jeep , Ram , or Iveco . Batman v Superman : Dawn of Justice -- Cross Fire , an original companion novel tied to the film , telling a tie - in story set before the events of the movie , was published by Scholastic Corporation . A five - issue comic - book prelude exploring what happened in the weeks and months leading up to the events of the film was released as a tie - in with Dr Pepper 's character - branded bottles . Also , there are a series of four minicomics found in Batman v Superman - branded General Mills cereals . Additionally , those who purchased Batman v Superman - themed Doritos Family Fun Mix at Walmart received the comic book prequel Batman v Superman : Dawn of Justice -- Upstairs / Downstairs . Rocksteady Studios released a downloadable content for the video game Batman : Arkham Knight that featured the Batmobile and Batsuit from the film . The third trailer debuted on Jimmy Kimmel Live ! on December 3 , 2015 . It received positive responses , with Scott Mendelson of Forbes calling the trailer a `` Saturday morning cartoon nerd 's wildest dreams . '' Molly Driscoll of CS Monitor stated that it looks like the film `` will continue the trend of adapting comic book stories as timely tales . '' Graeme McMillan of The Hollywood Reporter noted that based on the trailer 's content , the film might be the anti-Civil War , referring to Marvel 's Captain America : Civil War as `` Superman and Batman complete the comic book trope by overcoming their differences to fight a common foe , alongside a third hero , who saves them both -- that feels the most fresh , especially in light of the Civil War trailer . While that ended with a showdown between three heroes , this trailer moves beyond that to show three heroes standing united . '' However , it was criticized for revealing that , with Rob Tornoe of NewsWorks pointing out that this trailer was targeting the `` broadest audience '' rather than just fans , as studios try to `` maximize a film 's opening day box office . '' An advertisement for the film on Turkish Airlines ' Boeing 777 - 300ER at Istanbul Atatürk Airport Warner Bros. did not buy a Super Bowl 50 commercial ; instead , they worked with Turkish Airlines to put together a pair of Batman v Superman - themed airline commercials . McMillan of The Hollywood Reporter stated that the spots `` inform interested parties about the culture , geography and history of Batman and Superman 's individual stomping grounds , each one filled with Easter eggs for the comic book faithful and newcomer alike . '' Jesse Eisenberg 's part as Lex Luthor in these commercials was praised , as Dirk Libbey of CinemaBlend noted that `` he matches up well with Bruce Wayne by playing the welcoming billionaire business man . It 's a far cry from the somewhat cartoonish villain we 've seen in the clips from the film . '' The final trailer was released to the public on February 11 , 2016 , which was described as `` intense '' by Kwame Opam of The Verge . Mendelson of Forbes felt that Warner Bros. `` probably would n't have even dropped this one had the prior trailer back in December been received better . So now we have this fourth and final sell , and at least they are going out on a high note . '' Jonathon Dornbush of Entertainment Weekly said that the footage `` works to establish Batman as his own independent crime fighting force , while also providing a deeper look at his existential struggle against Superman . '' In February 2016 , Warner Bros. and Doritos formed a partnership , creating a website offering fans the opportunity to enter codes found on Doritos purchases branded with the film 's logo , and enter to win movie tickets , tech toys , and a trip the premiere in New York City . Warner Bros also partnered with Omaze to give fans who donated a chance to win `` The Ultimate Batman v Superman : Dawn of Justice Experience '' , while benefiting three nonprofit organizations nominated by Ben Affleck , Henry Cavill and Jesse Eisenberg . `` The Ultimate Batman v Superman : Dawn of Justice Experience '' offered a fan and their friend the chance to win tickets to the premiere of the film , as well as fly on a helicopter with Cavill or ride in the Batmobile with Affleck . Hendrick Motorsports drivers Jimmie Johnson and Dale Earnhardt , Jr. drove cars based on Superman and Batman respectively , at Auto Club Speedway on March 20 , 2016 . A tie - in endless runner video game to the film , entitled Batman vs Superman -- Who Will Win ? , debuted March 16 , 2016 , released by Warner Bros. International Enterprises . Release ( edit ) In November 2013 , Warner Bros. announced that Batman v Superman : Dawn of Justice would be released on July 17 , 2015 . In January 2014 , however , the studio announced that it was delayed from its original release date of July 17 , 2015 , and moved to May 6 , 2016 , in order to give the filmmakers `` time to realize fully their vision , given the complex visual nature of the story . '' The release date was moved once again in August 2014 from May 6 , 2016 , to March 25 , 2016 , with a Warner Bros. insider saying the studio was `` not flinching '' in regards to the previous opening date being on the same day as Marvel Studios ' Captain America : Civil War , but instead stating that March 2016 was a `` fantastic corridor '' for them . According to sources obtained by The Hollywood Reporter , Warner Bros. considered the possibility of having a 70mm release for the film , which was partially shot in the 65mm IMAX format . Batman v Superman : Dawn of Justice premiered at Auditorio Nacional in Mexico City on March 19 , 2016 , followed by a New York City premiere on March 20 at Radio City Music Hall . Following the 2016 Brussels bombings , Warner Bros. originally cancelled the red carpet of the London premiere , but decided to carry on with the premiere for the fans . The film was released in the United States and the United Kingdom on March 25 in 3D . It opened simultaneously in North America , China and Japan , the world 's three largest film markets , as well as additional international territories , with the exception of Poland , where theaters do not open on Good Friday . The film debuted simultaneously across 30,000 screens in nearly every major foreign territory across 61 markets , including China , with domestic open across roughly 4,242 locations of which 3,500 theaters ( 85 % ) were in 3D , 390 IMAX screens , 470 PLF locations , 150 D - Box theaters and ten 70 mm prints . Reception ( edit ) Box Office ( edit ) The film grossed $166 million in the USA & Canada in its opening weekend , the eighth - biggest opening of all time , ahead of The Dark Knight Rises ' $160.9 million . The film had a worldwide opening of $422.5 million , which stands as the second - biggest for Warner Bros. and the fifth - biggest of all time at the time of its release . It became the fourth film to have a global opening above $400 million . It also had an IMAX worldwide opening weekend total of $36 million from 945 IMAX screens , the third - biggest ever , behind Star Wars : The Force Awakens ( $48 million ) and Jurassic World ( $44 million ) . However , both inside and outside of the United States , Batman v Superman : Dawn of Justice experienced a notable poor Friday - to - Sunday hold and set a new record for the worst Friday - to - Sunday drop for a superhero movie release in modern box office history with a 58 % decline , which was previously held by Fantastic Four . In its second weekend , Batman v Superman : Dawn of Justice experienced a `` historic '' box - office drop , with an 81.2 % decline on Friday that was `` one of the biggest Friday - to - Friday drops any blockbuster has ever seen '' , and an overall 68.4 % drop for the weekend despite not `` facing any big competition at the box office '' , making it the second largest decline for a marquee superhero title , behind only 2003 's Hulk . Brad Brevet , writing for Box Office Mojo , reported that `` it appeared Batman v Superman was looking at a drop anywhere from 58 -- 68 % and it ended up settling in on the wrong side of those expectations . '' Scott Mendelson , writing for Forbes , said `` Whether or not the movie is any good , and whether or not audiences respond to the picture , is best measured by the second and third weekends ... Yes , we 're still talking about a $15.35 million second Friday and a $50 m+ second weekend , but in terms of legs , this film sadly does n't seem to have any . '' Continuing this trend , in its third weekend , the film dropped by 54.3 % in which Brad Brevet concluded in a follow - up for Box Office Mojo that `` the legs on this one are proving quite short . '' In the weeks leading up to the film 's release , advance ticket sales outpaced The Dark Knight Rises , The Avengers , and Furious 7 . Worldwide , it was estimated to gross between $300 -- 340 million in over 35,000 screens in its opening weekend . It passed the $50 million mark in IMAX ticket sales on its second weekend , grossing a total of $53.4 million from 571 IMAX screens . Warner Bros. domestic distribution chief Jeff Goldstein described the film 's box office performance as a `` fantastic result , by any measure . '' Box office analyst Jeff Bock said `` Still , outside of Christopher Nolan 's two Dark Knight movies , and Tim Burton 's Batman films when you adjust for inflation , this is the highest - grossing property in DC 's bullpen thus far . It tops Man of Steel by more than $200 million , '' and that `` overall , BvS successfully relaunched DC 's cinematic universe . The film needed to reach $800 million in revenue at the box office to `` recoup its investment '' according to financial analysts . Despite surpassing this amount , it was considered `` a disappointment '' for failing to reach $1 billion , This resulted in Warner Bros. , in May 2016 , creating DC Films , giving a dedicated executive team responsibility for films based on DC Comics , similar to the dedicated Marvel Comics focus of Marvel Studios within the larger Walt Disney Studios group . Batman v Superman : Dawn of Justice grossed $330.4 million in North America and $543.3 million in other territories for a worldwide total of $873.6 million , making it the seventh - highest - grossing film of 2016 behind Captain America : Civil War , Rogue One : A Star Wars Story , Finding Dory , Zootopia , The Jungle Book , and The Secret Life of Pets . Deadline Hollywood calculated the net profit of the film to be $105.7 million , when factoring together all expenses and revenues for the film . North America ( edit ) Following reports of pre-tickets sales in both the United States and Canada on February 29 , many insiders and analysts predicted an opening weekend haul between $120 -- 140 million for Batman v Superman : Dawn of Justice , with projections as high as $185 million . However , Warner Bros. insiders were more conservative in their estimates projecting in the lower range of $110 million . According to Deadline Hollywood , an undisclosed rival studio box office analyst indicated that if the film is truly pacing in tandem with The Dark Knight Rises , then Dawn of Justice could possibly be looking at a $180 million+ debut . The film also became Fandango 's top pre-selling superhero film ever , beating The Dark Knight Rises and Avengers : Age of Ultron , representing 90 % of the site 's weekend 's ticket sales . A survey carried out showed that the introduction of Wonder Woman is a primary draw for moviegoers . It pre-sold around $20 -- 25 million worth of advance tickets . Dawn of Justice made $27.7 million in Thursday previews from around 3,800 theaters which is the biggest of 2016 , the biggest Easter weekend preview , the second - biggest for a superhero film ( behind The Dark Knight Rises ) , and the seventh - biggest of all time of which $3.0 million came from IMAX showings , also a new record for Easter weekend . On its opening day , it earned $81.59 million from 4,242 theaters , including previews , marking the biggest pre-summer opening day of all time , the second - biggest superhero Friday opening and the fourth - biggest opening - day and fourth - biggest single - day gross , with $9 million coming from IMAX showings . Excluding the Thursday previews , it earned $53.89 million on Friday which is the fifth - biggest ever . It fell 37.8 % on Saturday , which is the second - worst superhero opening Friday - to - Saturday drop , only behind the 40 % drop of The Dark Knight Rises . In total , it earned $166 million for its debut weekend , setting records for the biggest March and pre-summer openings , the biggest Easter opening , the second - biggest opening for Warner Bros. , the biggest for a DC Comics property , and the eighth - biggest opening of all time . ( Some of these records have since been broken by Beauty and the Beast . ) Conversely , the film holds the record for the worst superhero Friday - to - Sunday drop with a 58 % decline , eclipsing the previous 48 % decline record held by Fantastic Four in 2015 . IMAX comprised 11 % or $18 million of the weekend 's gross from 388 theaters which is the fifth - biggest of all time ( a record it shares with Age of Ultron ) and 3D represented 40 % ( $68 million ) of the total ticket sales . RealD 3D comprised $47 million of the opening gross . Premium large formats generated $17.6 million ( 10 % ) , with $3.6 million of that coming from Cinemark XD auditoriums from 475 theaters . Following its record breaking opening weekend , it posted the biggest March Monday with $15.05 million , a drop of 55 % from its Sunday gross . This broke The Hunger Games ' previous record of $10.8 million , and also the biggest March Tuesday with $12.2 million . It made $209 million in its first week full which stands at the eleventh - biggest opening week of all time and surpassed the lifetime total Batman Begins . Despite earning $15.35 million in its second Friday , the film dropped 81.2 % and broke the record for the biggest Friday - to - Friday drop for a comic book adaptation film , not including $27.7 million worth of previews which represented an even larger decline . It fell precipitously by 69.1 % in its second weekend , grossing $51.3 million from 4,256 theaters ( an addition of 14 cinemas ) due to poor reviews and mixed word of mouth , establishing itself an infamous record for the seventh steepest drop for a superhero / comic book adapted film and the steepest decline since the - 69 % posted by X-Men Origins : Wolverine in 2009 , despite facing little to no competition or new wide - releases and having the added benefit of 30 % K -- 12 schools off , and 9 % of colleges on break , per ComScore . The steep drop also marks the fourth - biggest for a film that opened above $100 million ( tied with The Twilight Saga : Breaking Dawn -- Part 2 ) . In its third weekend it was overtaken by the comedy The Boss after falling 54 % with $23.3 million . Batman v Superman : Dawn of Justice proved to be front - loaded , failing to generate significant revenue after its opening weekend / week release . It earned just 1.99 times ( $330 million ) its opening weekend numbers ( $166 million ) , which is lower than Man of Steel 's 2.28 multiplier . Like other DC films , such as Watchmen , Green Lantern and Man of Steel , it opened to record breaking numbers but then dropped the following weekend onward due largely to bad critical reception and mixed word of mouth from audiences . It earned just 1.99 times its opening weekend , the worst ( multiplier ) for a film opening above $100 million . A similar result was followed by DC 's third superhero film , Suicide Squad released in August 2016 , although Suicide Squad became less front loaded than Dawn of Justice . Outside North America ( edit ) Internationally , it was projected to open between $180 -- 200 million ; however , Deadline.com pointed out that these figures were only early predictions pegged to the performance of similar films in their respective territories . It opened in ten countries on Wednesday , March 23 , 2016 , earning $7 million and debuting at No. 1 in all markets on approximately 5,900 screens . The following day , the film was released in 38 additional countries , earning $33.1 million on 19,700 screens for a two - day total of $44 million . On March 25 , it opened in the remaining 17 countries delivering $67.2 million in revenue , for a three - day total of $115.3 million in 62 countries on more than 30,000 screens . Through Sunday , March 27 , it earned an opening - weekend total of $256.5 million from 66 countries on over 40,000 screens , making it the biggest superhero opening weekend of all time , the biggest overall March opening , the second - biggest opening ever for Warner Bros. , and the fifth - biggest international opening on record . The film 's accomplishements also included the second - biggest IMAX opening record of $18 million , behind only Jurassic World which tallied $23.5 million . 3D accounted 59 % or $149.86 million of the weekend gross led by China ( 98 % ) , Germany ( 88 % ) , Brazil ( 81 % ) , Russia ( 55 % ) , and France ( 51 % ) . As with North America , the film witnessed a steep decline in its second Friday internationally , falling 72 % to $19.2 million , with the biggest decline in the U.K. ( 77 % ) and China ( 87 % ) . Its second weekend earnings fell 66 % overall to $85.25 million . Despite the decline , the film topped the box office for three consecutive weekends . In Mexico , it had the biggest opening day for Warner Bros. and the second - biggest of all time with $5.8 million , including record - breaking midnight showings . It also scored the biggest opening day of all time in Brazil ( $3.5 million ) and the biggest opening day for a superhero film in Germany ( $2.8 million ) . Elsewhere , it opened in the United Kingdom and Ireland ( $9 million ) , Australia ( $2.5 million ) , India ( $2.54 million ) , Russia ( $1.9 million ) , South Korea ( $1.7 million ) , Japan ( $1.2 million ) , the United Arab Emirates and Hong Kong ( $1.1 million respectively ) . In China , it earned $21.22 million on its opening day , including around $1.34 million worth of previews , which is the biggest for Warner Bros. and the sixth - biggest Hollywood opening day of all time . However , other Chinese sources have the film open to around $20 million . In terms of opening weekends , the biggest openings were recorded in China ( $57.2 million ) , the United Kingdom and Ireland ( $20.7 million ) , Mexico ( $18.2 million ) , Brazil ( $12 million ) , South Korea ( $10.2 million ) , Australia ( $9.9 million ) , France ( $8.6 million ) , Germany ( $8.1 million ) , Russia ( $7.7 million ) , India ( $6.6 million ) , Spain ( $6.1 million ) and Japan ( $4.5 million ) . It broke all - time opening record in Brazil and Warner Bros. opening records in Mexico , Hong Kong , India , Malaysia , Singapore , Vietnam , Argentina , Bolivia , Chile , Colombia , Peru , Puerto Rico and Venezuela . In the United Kingdom and Ireland , it benefited from the long Easter weekend holiday and despite a distinctly mixed bag of reviews in the U.K. press , it posted an opening £ 14.62 million or $20.7 million from 612 theaters , a record for 2016 so far and for a superhero title on straight Friday to Sunday , but fell short of The Avengers and Avengers : Age of Ultron , when accounting for previews . In Japan , it opened in third place , behind two local films , Assassination Classroom : Graduation and Doraemon : Nobita and the Birth of Japan 2016 . In South Korea , it scored the biggest March opening after opening on a Tuesday and dominating 68.3 % of the market share with $10.2 million . In China , after scoring the biggest Hollywood opening Friday ( behind Transformers : Age of Extinction ) , it earned an estimated $57.2 million from approximately 16,000 screens in its opening weekend , besting all other DC Comics adaption film just by its weekend haul except for Man of Steel and gave Warner Bros. its biggest three day opening there with $7 million coming from 557 IMAX screens . However , the opening figure fell below analysts projections of $70 -- 80 million . It held the top spot for its first seven days only , after which it faced stiff competitions from local productions , and fell dramatically from then onwards in accruing revenue . As a result , it fell to third place in its second weekend after falling enormously by 78 % to $12.7 million , a record for a superhero film . It became the Warner Bros . ' highest - grossing film of all time in India , Indonesia , Malaysia , the Philippines and Vietnam . It also crossed $100 million Latin American markets , making it Warner Bros . ' second highest - grossing film there . In total earnings , its biggest markets outside of North America are China ( $95 million ) , followed by the UK ( $52.1 million ) , Mexico ( $36 million ) and Brazil ( $35.5 million ) . Critical response ( edit ) The performances of Ben Affleck ( L ) and Gal Gadot ( C ) were praised , while Jesse Eisenberg 's ( R ) was widely criticized . Batman v Superman : Dawn of Justice received generally unfavorable reviews from film critics . On review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes the film has an approval rating of 27 % based on 379 reviews , with an average rating of 4.9 / 10 . The website 's critical consensus reads , `` Batman v Superman : Dawn of Justice smothers a potentially powerful story -- and some of America 's most iconic superheroes -- in a grim whirlwind of effects - driven action . '' Metacritic , which assigns a weighted average to critics ' reviews , gave the film an average score of 44 out of 100 , based on 51 critics , indicating `` mixed or average reviews '' . Audiences polled by CinemaScore gave the film an average grade of `` B '' on an A+ to F scale . It earned `` B -- '' from men , `` B '' from women , a `` B '' from those under 25 and a `` B -- '' from those over 25 . According to comScore , 73 % of audiences graded the film `` very good '' or `` excellent '' , with a 60 % definite recommend . BBC News reported that , `` the film had been widely praised by fans after its first screening in New York '' . Critics generally reacted more harshly to the film . Lindy West in The Guardian described it as `` 153 minutes of a grown man whacking two dolls together '' , asking `` ( h ) as the definition of ' movie ' changed from ' motion picture story that a human wrote on purpose ' to ' 700 only tangentially related 12 - second grey and red vignettes ' ? '' A.O. Scott of The New York Times wrote : `` The point of Batman v Superman is n't fun , and it is n't thinking , either . It 's obedience . The theology is invoked ... to buttress a spectacle of power . And in that way the film serves as a metaphor for its own aspirations . The corporations that produce movies like this one , and the ambitious hacks who sign up to make them , have no evident motive beyond their own aggrandizement . '' Writing in The Telegraph , Robbie Collin called the film `` humourless '' and `` the most incoherent blockbuster in years '' . Cynthia Fuchs of PopMatters said , `` As you 're watching this movie , you might also contemplate your own part , in being swayed into consuming so much of what you 've consumed before . '' Adding , `` Wonder Woman 's remains Batman v Superman 's most compelling story , precisely because it 's untold . '' Matt Patches of Thrillist wrote `` what Batman v Superman can do , it does , at the cost of coherency and thrills . The movie is bat - shit crazy . A dour , disdainful demeanor , plus a gluttony of complex plot twists , dissipates most of the contact high . '' Michael Philips of Chicago Tribune wrote , `` A near - total drag , Batman v Superman : Dawn of Justice plays like a loose , unofficial quarter - billion - dollar remake of The Odd Couple , in which Oscar and Felix are literally trying to kill each other . '' On his podcast Hollywood Babble - On , film director Kevin Smith , a long - time friend and collaborator of Affleck , praised Affleck 's performance but panned the film , commenting that it `` did n't really have a heart '' and was `` humorless '' , arguing that `` there seems to be a fundamental lack of understanding of what those characters are about . It 's almost like Zack Snyder did n't read a bunch of comics , he read one comic once , and it was Dark Knight Returns , and his favorite part was the last part where Batman and Superman fight . '' On a second viewing , however , Smith via his Instagram lightened his stance . Jeremy Irons expressed displeasure with the film , feeling it was `` deservedly '' savaged by critics and calling the feature `` very muddled '' while expressing hope that the forthcoming Justice League ( 2017 ) would be better due to its story being `` ... a lot smaller , it 's more linear '' . Taking a softer tone , David Betancourt of The Washington Post and Scott Mendelson of Forbes praised the film 's visual spectacle and performances from Affleck and Gadot , though Mendelson also called the film `` an utter mess of thinly sketched characters , haphazard plotting , surprisingly jumbled action '' . Peter Travers of Rolling Stone called the film `` better than Man of Steel but below the high bar set by Nolan 's Dark Knight , '' adding that `` Dawn of Justice is still a colossus , the stuff that DC Comics dreams are made of for that kid in all of us who yearns to see Batman and Superman suit up and go in for the kill . '' Jake Coyle of Associated Press wrote , `` it hurtles not with the kinetic momentum of Mad Max : Fury Road nor the comparatively spry skip of a Marvel movie , but with an operatic grandeur it sometimes earns and often does n't . '' Mark Hughes of Forbes called it `` the follow - up to The Dark Knight that many viewers and fans wanted or hoped for '' , adding that it 's `` visually stunning , with powerful emotional storytelling and awe - inspiring action spectacle . '' Andrew Barker of Variety said `` as a pure visual spectacle ... Batman V Superman ably blows the hinges off the multiplex doors . '' Charles Koplinski of the Illinois Times called it `` a brooding , but most importantly intelligent take on the seminal figures of our 20th century pop culture mythology , a movie that at once pays tribute to these characters ' roots while offering up modern incarnations of them that ring true for our times . '' Nicolas Barber of the BBC called the film `` a four - star epic '' praising Affleck 's performance as Batman and the visual grandeur of Fong 's cinematography . Jordan Hoffman of The Guardian gave an ambivalent review ; he especially criticized the `` very bad writing '' , but conceded `` there are a lot of moments ... that work '' and praised Affleck and Gadot 's performances , calling Gadot as Wonder Woman the best thing in the film . Multiple commentators criticized Eisenberg on the grounds that his interpretation of Lex Luthor hewed too close to character traits associated with another DC Comics villain , the Joker . Even before the film was released , Affleck compared Eisenberg 's performance to that of Heath Ledger in The Dark Knight . Once the film came out , critics lambasted Eisenberg 's take on Luthor . Sonny Bunch of The Washington Post lamented that `` As the film progresses , Lex degenerates into a gibbering mad man , some strange mix of the Riddler and the Joker with a little bit of Mark Zuckerberg added for flair . '' Charlie Jane Anders of Gizmodo wrote that `` Someone clearly told Jesse Eisenberg that this movie is the Dark Knight to Man of Steel 's Batman Begins , and he 's doing his damndest to give a Heath Ledger-esque performance ... Watching the trailers , I had thought Eisenberg 's loopy acting might be this movie 's saving grace -- but a concentrated dose of his faux mania actually turns out to be the worst thing . '' Andy Scott of Grunge , in an article titled `` How Jesse Eisenberg Ruined Batman v Superman , '' wrote that `` Eisenberg 's speech patterns and mannerisms felt almost entirely lifted from Ledger 's iconic performance , to the point where he walked the dangerous grey line between respectful homage and downright thievery . '' Eisenberg responded to the critiques by saying he attempted to `` make these people real and relatable and interesting and engaging , not just , you know , a surface bad person .

Pictures Won Home media ( edit ) An extended cut of the film dubbed the Ultimate Edition was released on home media platforms , alongside the theatrical cut . This version received an R rating from the Motion Picture Association of America , for more violence than the PG - 13 rated theatrical cut , and is longer by 31 minutes . With the release of the Ultimate Edition , which was the director 's original version of the film before additional editing , critics noted that the film would have likely been better received with the additional footage . Ben Kendrick of ScreenRant stated that while it was more `` intelligible '' , character portrayal was not `` fundamentally changed '' and `` for viewers who did n't like Man of Steel or Batman v Superman for larger reasons , such as tone , approach , and the darker characterization of DC 's most iconic heroes , the Ultimate Edition is only a longer ... version of a film that ... is likely to remain divisive , even if the final product is a better film . '' Phil Owens of TheWrap called it an improvement upon the original cut , writing , `` Lo and behold somehow Batman v Superman : Dawn of Justice has become something that approaches a functional movie . In the process , it only makes the original cut even more inexplicable and terrible . '' The film debuted in first place on the home video sales chart for the week ending July 24 , 2016 . As of November 25 , 2017 , it has made $21.2 million in DVD sales and $54.8 million in Blu - ray sales , totaling nearly $76 million . Notes ( edit ) Jump up ^ As depicted in 2013 film Man of Steel .

U.S. history of alcohol minimum purchase age by state
U.S. history of alcohol minimum purchase age by State - wikipedia U.S. history of alcohol minimum purchase age by State Minimum legal drinking age as of 1969 ( two years before the 26th Amendment was passed in 1971 ) : 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 Minimum legal drinking age as of 1975 ( when almost all states had their lowest age limit ) : Minimum age is 21 Minimum age is 20 Minimum age is 19 and 21 ; see below Minimum age is 19 Minimum age is 18 and 21 ; see below Minimum age is 18 Detail on dual age limits Both age limits apply for following states : Washington , D.C. : The legal drinking age is 18 for beer and wine , and 21 for liquor . Illinois : The legal drinking age is 19 for beer and wine , and 21 for liquor . Kansas : The legal drinking age is 18 for 3.2 % ABV beer , and 21 for beer stronger than 3.2 % ABV , wine , and liquor . Maryland : The legal drinking age is 18 for beer and wine , and 21 for liquor . North Carolina : The legal drinking age is 18 for beer and wine , and 21 for liquor . Oklahoma : The legal drinking age is 18 for 3.2 % ABV beer , and 21 for beer stronger than 3.2 % ABV , wine , and liquor . South Carolina : The legal drinking age is 18 for beer and wine and 21 for liquor . South Dakota : The legal drinking age is 18 for 3.2 % ABV beer , and 21 for beer stronger than 3.2 % ABV , wine , and liquor . 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 . This 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 . Many 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 .

The Tide had a 12 -- 1 season , becoming the SEC West Division co-champions with the Auburn Tigers . The Crimson Tide were coached by Nick Saban . Georgia ( edit ) See also : 2017 Georgia Bulldogs football team The Georgia Bulldogs defeated the Oklahoma Sooners in the 2018 Rose Bowl by a score of 54 -- 48 in double overtime to reach the championship game . The Bulldogs had a 13 -- 1 season claiming their 13th Southeastern Conference ( SEC ) championship with a win over Auburn Tigers , 28 -- 7 . The Bulldogs were coached by Kirby Smart . Game summary ( edit ) After winning the coin toss , Alabama deferred to the second half and Georgia received the ball to begin the game . After two plays , quarterback Jake Fromm attempted a pass downfield and was intercepted by Tony Brown . Alabama began their first drive of the game , and , after eleven plays , that drive ended with kicker Andy Pappanastos missing a 40 - yard field goal . The teams each had three - and - outs for the game 's first two punts . During Georgia 's ensuing drive , the quarter ended , with no score . After a failed third down conversion , on the second play of the second quarter , Georgia kicker Rodrigo Blankenship hit a 41 - yard field goal to open the scoring and put Georgia in the lead by three . Alabama 's ensuing drive went nowhere , as they gained four yards on three plays and punted . Georgia took the ball and drove down the field , and found themselves with a first and goal at the Alabama 10 - yard - line ; the Tide defense held , however , and the Bulldogs settled for a second field goal and took a 6 -- 0 lead with just over seven and a half minutes until half . On Alabama 's next drive , the Georgia defense held yet again and Alabama 's JK Scott punted for the third time . Just prior to the punt , Georgia wide receiver Javon Wims was shown walking to the locker room , reportedly with a left shoulder injury . Both defenses then forced punts , and Georgia took back over with 1 : 19 remaining in the half on their own 31 - yard - line . Nine plays later , on Alabama 's 1 - yard - line , Mecole Hardman took a direct snap , faked a handoff , and ran into the end zone for the game 's first touchdown , putting Georgia up 13 -- 0 going into halftime . Because they deferred the coin toss , Alabama received the ball first in the second half . They started their drive on their own 22 - yard - line . Tua Tagovailoa , Alabama 's backup quarterback , started the second half for the Tide ; that drive quickly resulted in a three - and - out . The initial punt was blocked , but an offside call gave the Tide another chance to punt . Georgia started their drive on their own 36 - yard - line , but punted on 4th & 17 . Alabama took over on their own 44 - yard - line . The teams then traded touchdowns on consecutive drives ; Alabama scored their first points of the game on a 6 - yard pass from Tagovailoa to Ruggs , but Georgia immediately responded with an 80 - yard touchdown connection from Fromm to Mecole Hardman , putting Georgia up 20 -- 7 . On the second play of Alabama 's ensuing drive , Tagovailoa , while scrambling to the left , threw into traffic and was intercepted by Georgia 's Deandre Baker . Up 13 , the Bulldogs took over possession of the ball on Alabama 's 39 - yard - line . The Tide defense responded immediately , however , as Raekwon Davis intercepted a Jake Fromm pass on the first play of Georgia 's drive , returning the pick to the UGA 40 - yard - line . The Tide gained fifteen yards on six plays and kicker Andy Pappanastos avenged his earlier miss with a 43 - yard field goal that put Bama within ten . The teams then traded punts . Just prior to Alabama 's punt , it was announced that an Alabama defensive back , Kyriq McDonald , had collapsed on the sideline ; the situation was described as a `` serious medical emergency '' . He was loaded onto a medical stretcher awake and conscious . Georgia could not muster anything on offense that drive , and punted . The fourth quarter saw Tagovailoa lead the Tide to come back and tie the game at 20 with 3 : 49 . With three seconds remaining in the game , Andy Pappanastos missed a potential game - winning 36 - yard field goal to the left , sending the game to overtime . In overtime , Georgia scored on a 51 - yard field goal . On Alabama 's first offensive play in overtime , Tagovailoa was sacked for a 16 - yard loss , but immediately followed that with a game - winning 41 - yard touchdown pass to DeVonta Smith . Tagovailoa was named the offensive player of the game , and Da'Ron Payne was named the defensive player of the game .

On January 8 , 2018 , the network announced that its broadcast would feature a live performance by Kendrick Lamar during halftime . This performance was separate from the event proper at Mercedes - Benz Stadium ( which featured a traditional halftime show with the marching bands of the participating teams ) , and originated from Centennial Olympic Park . Dispute ( edit ) Following an undefeated season in the American Athletic Conference and their victory over the Auburn Tigers in the 2018 Peach Bowl , the UCF Knights claimed the national championship by virtue of being the only undefeated team in the FBS level of college football . UCF held a victory parade at Disney World and hung a national championship banner at their stadium to celebrate this achievement . The school also paid national championship bonuses to all of its assistant coaches , many of whom left UCF after the Peach Bowl to follow head coach Scott Frost to his new head coaching job at Nebraska ; Frost himself ( who coached UCF in the game ) did not receive such a bonus because he had already been paid all of the bonuses allowed by his UCF contract . The selection committee controversially ranked undefeated UCF 12th at the end of the regular season , below a number of two - loss teams from the Power Five conferences , which left them out of the CFP . The AP Poll ranked Alabama No. 1 in its final poll , receiving 57 first - place votes , while UCF was ranked No. 6 and received four first - place votes -- the first time in the CFP era that the AP poll did not have a unanimous No. 1 team . Additionally , the Knights finished the 2017 football season as the No. 1 team in the Colley Bias Free Matrix Rankings . The Colley Matrix is recognized by the NCAA in its list of `` national champion major selections .

It involved the vast majority of the world 's countries -- including all of the great powers -- eventually forming two opposing military alliances : the Allies and the Axis . It was the most widespread war in history , and directly involved more than 100 million people from over 30 countries . In a state of total war , the major participants threw their entire economic , industrial , and scientific capabilities behind the war effort , erasing the distinction between civilian and military resources . World War II was the deadliest conflict in human history , marked by 50 million to 85 million fatalities , most of which were civilians in the Soviet Union and China . It included massacres , the deliberate genocide of the Holocaust , strategic bombing , starvation , disease and the first use of nuclear weapons in history . The Empire of Japan aimed to dominate Asia and the Pacific and was already at war with the Republic of China in 1937 , but the world war is generally said to have begun on 1 September 1939 with the invasion of Poland by Nazi Germany and subsequent declarations of war on Germany by France and the United Kingdom . Supplied by the Soviet Union , from late 1939 to early 1941 , in a series of campaigns and treaties , Germany conquered or controlled much of continental Europe , and formed the Axis alliance with Italy and Japan . Under the Molotov -- Ribbentrop Pact of August 1939 , Germany and the Soviet Union partitioned and annexed territories of their European neighbours , Poland , Finland , Romania and the Baltic states . The war continued primarily between the European Axis powers and the coalition of the United Kingdom and the British Commonwealth , with campaigns including the North Africa and East Africa campaigns , the aerial Battle of Britain , the Blitz bombing campaign , the Balkan Campaign as well as the long - running Battle of the Atlantic . On 22 June 1941 , the European Axis powers launched an invasion of the Soviet Union , opening the largest land theatre of war in history , which trapped the major part of the Axis military forces into a war of attrition . In December 1941 , Japan attacked the United States and European colonies in the Pacific Ocean , and quickly conquered much of the Western Pacific . The Axis advance halted in 1942 when Japan lost the critical Battle of Midway , and Germany and Italy were defeated in North Africa and then , decisively , at Stalingrad in the Soviet Union . In 1943 , with a series of German defeats on the Eastern Front , the Allied invasion of Sicily and the Allied invasion of Italy which brought about Italian surrender , and Allied victories in the Pacific , the Axis lost the initiative and undertook strategic retreat on all fronts . In 1944 , the Western Allies invaded German - occupied France , while the Soviet Union regained all of its territorial losses and invaded Germany and its allies . During 1944 and 1945 the Japanese suffered major reverses in mainland Asia in South Central China and Burma , while the Allies crippled the Japanese Navy and captured key Western Pacific islands . The war in Europe concluded with an invasion of Germany by the Western Allies and the Soviet Union , culminating in the capture of Berlin by Soviet troops , the suicide of Adolf Hitler and the subsequent German unconditional surrender on 8 May 1945 . Following the Potsdam Declaration by the Allies on 26 July 1945 and the refusal of Japan to surrender under its terms , the United States dropped atomic bombs on the Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki on 6 August and 9 August respectively . With an invasion of the Japanese archipelago imminent , the possibility of additional atomic bombings and the Soviet invasion of Manchuria , Japan formally surrendered on 2 September 1945 . Thus ended the war in Asia , cementing the total victory of the Allies . World War II altered the political alignment and social structure of the world . The United Nations ( UN ) was established to foster international co-operation and prevent future conflicts . The victorious great powers -- China , France , the Soviet Union , the United Kingdom , and the United States -- became the permanent members of the United Nations Security Council . The Soviet Union and the United States emerged as rival superpowers , setting the stage for the Cold War , which lasted for the next 46 years . Meanwhile , the influence of European great powers waned , while the decolonisation of Africa and Asia began . Most countries whose industries had been damaged moved towards economic recovery . Political integration , especially in Europe , emerged as an effort to end pre-war enmities and to create a common identity .

The dates for the beginning of war in the Pacific include the start of the Second Sino - Japanese War on 7 July 1937 , or even the Japanese invasion of Manchuria on 19 September 1931 . Others follow the British historian A.J.P. Taylor , who held that the Sino - Japanese War and war in Europe and its colonies occurred simultaneously and the two wars merged in 1941 . This article uses the conventional dating . Other starting dates sometimes used for World War II include the Italian invasion of Abyssinia on 3 October 1935 . The British historian Antony Beevor views the beginning of World War II as the Battles of Khalkhin Gol fought between Japan and the forces of Mongolia and the Soviet Union from May to September 1939 . The exact date of the war 's end is also not universally agreed upon . It was generally accepted at the time that the war ended with the armistice of 14 August 1945 ( V-J Day ) , rather than the formal surrender of Japan ( 2 September 1945 ) . A peace treaty with Japan was signed in 1951 . A treaty regarding Germany 's future allowed the reunification of East and West Germany to take place in 1990 and resolved other post-World War II issues . Background Main article : Causes of World War II Europe World War I had radically altered the political European map , with the defeat of the Central Powers -- including Austria - Hungary , Germany , Bulgaria and the Ottoman Empire -- and the 1917 Bolshevik seizure of power in Russia , which eventually led to the founding of the Soviet Union . Meanwhile , the victorious Allies of World War I , such as France , Belgium , Italy , Romania and Greece gained territory , and new nation - states were created out of the collapse of Austria - Hungary and the Ottoman and Russian Empires . The League of Nations assembly , held in Geneva , Switzerland , 1930 To prevent a future world war , the League of Nations was created during the 1919 Paris Peace Conference . The organisation 's primary goals were to prevent armed conflict through collective security , military and naval disarmament , and settling international disputes through peaceful negotiations and arbitration . Despite strong pacifist sentiment after World War I , its aftermath still caused irredentist and revanchist nationalism in several European states . These sentiments were especially marked in Germany because of the significant territorial , colonial , and financial losses incurred by the Treaty of Versailles . Under the treaty , Germany lost around 13 per cent of its home territory and all of its overseas possessions , while German annexation of other states was prohibited , reparations were imposed , and limits were placed on the size and capability of the country 's armed forces . The German Empire was dissolved in the German Revolution of 1918 -- 1919 , and a democratic government , later known as the Weimar Republic , was created . The interwar period saw strife between supporters of the new republic and hardline opponents on both the right and left . Italy , as an Entente ally , had made some post-war territorial gains ; however , Italian nationalists were angered that the promises made by Britain and France to secure Italian entrance into the war were not fulfilled in the peace settlement . From 1922 to 1925 , the Fascist movement led by Benito Mussolini seized power in Italy with a nationalist , totalitarian , and class collaborationist agenda that abolished representative democracy , repressed socialist , left - wing and liberal forces , and pursued an aggressive expansionist foreign policy aimed at making Italy a world power , promising the creation of a `` New Roman Empire '' . Adolf Hitler at a German National Socialist political rally in Weimar , October 1930 Adolf Hitler , after an unsuccessful attempt to overthrow the German government in 1923 , eventually became the Chancellor of Germany in 1933 . He abolished democracy , espousing a radical , racially motivated revision of the world order , and soon began a massive rearmament campaign . Meanwhile , France , to secure its alliance , allowed Italy a free hand in Ethiopia , which Italy desired as a colonial possession . The situation was aggravated in early 1935 when the Territory of the Saar Basin was legally reunited with Germany and Hitler repudiated the Treaty of Versailles , accelerated his rearmament programme , and introduced conscription . To contain Germany , the United Kingdom , France and Italy formed the Stresa Front in April 1935 ; however , that June , the United Kingdom made an independent naval agreement with Germany , easing prior restrictions . The Soviet Union , concerned by Germany 's goals of capturing vast areas of Eastern Europe , drafted a treaty of mutual assistance with France . Before taking effect though , the Franco - Soviet pact was required to go through the bureaucracy of the League of Nations , which rendered it essentially toothless . The United States , concerned with events in Europe and Asia , passed the Neutrality Act in August of the same year . Hitler defied the Versailles and Locarno treaties by remilitarising the Rhineland in March 1936 , encountering little opposition . In October 1936 , Germany and Italy formed the Rome -- Berlin Axis . A month later , Germany and Japan signed the Anti-Comintern Pact , which Italy would join in the following year . Asia The Kuomintang ( KMT ) party in China launched a unification campaign against regional warlords and nominally unified China in the mid-1920s , but was soon embroiled in a civil war against its former Chinese Communist Party allies and new regional warlords . In 1931 , an increasingly militaristic Empire of Japan , which had long sought influence in China as the first step of what its government saw as the country 's right to rule Asia , used the Mukden Incident as a pretext to launch an invasion of Manchuria and establish the puppet state of Manchukuo . Too weak to resist Japan , China appealed to the League of Nations for help . Japan withdrew from the League of Nations after being condemned for its incursion into Manchuria . The two nations then fought several battles , in Shanghai , Rehe and Hebei , until the Tanggu Truce was signed in 1933 . Thereafter , Chinese volunteer forces continued the resistance to Japanese aggression in Manchuria , and Chahar and Suiyuan . After the 1936 Xi'an Incident , the Kuomintang and communist forces agreed on a ceasefire to present a united front to oppose Japan . Pre-war events Italian invasion of Ethiopia ( 1935 ) Main article : Second Italo - Ethiopian War Italian soldiers recruited in 1935 , on their way to fight the Second Italo - Abyssinian War The Second Italo -- Abyssinian War was a brief colonial war that began in October 1935 and ended in May 1936 . The war began with the invasion of the Ethiopian Empire ( also known as Abyssinia ) by the armed forces of the Kingdom of Italy ( Regno d'Italia ) , which was launched from Italian Somaliland and Eritrea . The war resulted in the military occupation of Ethiopia and its annexation into the newly created colony of Italian East Africa ( Africa Orientale Italiana , or AOI ) ; in addition it exposed the weakness of the League of Nations as a force to preserve peace . Both Italy and Ethiopia were member nations , but the League did nothing when the former clearly violated the League 's Article X . Germany was the only major European nation to support the invasion . Italy subsequently dropped its objections to Germany 's goal of absorbing Austria . Spanish civil War ( 1936 -- 39 ) Main article : Spanish Civil War The bombing of Guernica in 1937 , during the Spanish Civil War , sparked Europe - wide fears that the next war would be based on bombing of cities with very high civilian casualties When civil war broke out in Spain , Hitler and Mussolini lent military support to the Nationalist rebels , led by General Francisco Franco . The Soviet Union supported the existing government , the Spanish Republic . Over 30,000 foreign volunteers , known as the International Brigades , also fought against the Nationalists . Both Germany and the USSR used this proxy war as an opportunity to test in combat their most advanced weapons and tactics . The Nationalists won the civil war in April 1939 ; Franco , now dictator , remained officially neutral during Second World War but generally favoured the Axis . His greatest collaboration with Germany was the sending of volunteers to fight on the Eastern Front . Japanese invasion of China ( 1937 ) Main article : Second Sino - Japanese War Japanese Imperial Army soldiers during the Battle of Shanghai , 1937 In July 1937 , Japan captured the former Chinese imperial capital of Peking after instigating the Marco Polo Bridge Incident , which culminated in the Japanese campaign to invade all of China . The Soviets quickly signed a non-aggression pact with China to lend materiel support , effectively ending China 's prior co-operation with Germany . From September to November , the Japanese attacked Taiyuan , as well as engaging the Kuomintang Army around Xinkou and Communist forces in Pingxingguan . Generalissimo Chiang Kai - shek deployed his best army to defend Shanghai , but , after three months of fighting , Shanghai fell . The Japanese continued to push the Chinese forces back , capturing the capital Nanking in December 1937 . After the fall of Nanking , tens of thousands if not hundreds of thousands of Chinese civilians and disarmed combatants were murdered by the Japanese . In March 1938 , Nationalist Chinese forces won their first major victory at Taierzhuang but then the city of Xuzhou was taken by Japanese in May . In June 1938 , Chinese forces stalled the Japanese advance by flooding the Yellow River ; this manoeuvre bought time for the Chinese to prepare their defences at Wuhan , but the city was taken by October . Japanese military victories did not bring about the collapse of Chinese resistance that Japan had hoped to achieve ; instead the Chinese government relocated inland to Chongqing and continued the war . Soviet -- Japanese border conflicts Red Army artillery unit during the Battle of Lake Khasan , 1938 Main article : Soviet -- Japanese border conflicts In the mid-to - late 1930s , Japanese forces in Manchukuo had sporadic border clashes with the Soviet Union and the Mongolian People 's Republic . The Japanese doctrine of Hokushin - ron , which emphasised Japan 's expansion northward , was favoured by the Imperial Army during this time . With the Japanese defeat at Khalkin Gol in 1939 , the ongoing Second Sino - Japanese War and ally Nazi Germany pursuing neutrality with the Soviets , this policy would prove difficult to maintain . Japan and the Soviet Union eventually signed a Neutrality Pact in April 1941 , and Japan adopted the doctrine of Nanshin - ron , promoted by the Navy , which took its focus southward , eventually leading to its war with the United States and the Western Allies . European occupations and agreements Further information : Anschluss , Appeasement , Munich Agreement , German occupation of Czechoslovakia , and Molotov -- Ribbentrop Pact Chamberlain , Daladier , Hitler , Mussolini , and Ciano pictured just before signing the Munich Agreement , 29 September 1938 In Europe , Germany and Italy were becoming more aggressive . In March 1938 , Germany annexed Austria , again provoking little response from other European powers . Encouraged , Hitler began pressing German claims on the Sudetenland , an area of Czechoslovakia with a predominantly ethnic German population ; and soon Britain and France followed the counsel of British Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain and conceded this territory to Germany in the Munich Agreement , which was made against the wishes of the Czechoslovak government , in exchange for a promise of no further territorial demands . Soon afterwards , Germany and Italy forced Czechoslovakia to cede additional territory to Hungary and Poland annexed Czechoslovakia 's Zaolzie region . Although all of Germany 's stated demands had been satisfied by the agreement , privately Hitler was furious that British interference had prevented him from seizing all of Czechoslovakia in one operation . In subsequent speeches Hitler attacked British and Jewish `` war - mongers '' and in January 1939 secretly ordered a major build - up of the German navy to challenge British naval supremacy . In March 1939 , Germany invaded the remainder of Czechoslovakia and subsequently split it into the German Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia and a pro-German client state , the Slovak Republic . Hitler also delivered an ultimatum to Lithuania , forcing the concession of the Klaipėda Region . Greatly alarmed and with Hitler making further demands on the Free City of Danzig , Britain and France guaranteed their support for Polish independence ; when Italy conquered Albania in April 1939 , the same guarantee was extended to Romania and Greece . Shortly after the Franco - British pledge to Poland , Germany and Italy formalised their own alliance with the Pact of Steel . Hitler accused Britain and Poland of trying to `` encircle '' Germany and renounced the Anglo - German Naval Agreement and the German -- Polish Non-Aggression Pact . German Foreign Minister Joachim von Ribbentrop ( right ) and the Soviet leader Joseph Stalin , after signing the Molotov -- Ribbentrop Pact , 23 August 1939 In August 1939 , Germany and the Soviet Union signed the Molotov -- Ribbentrop Pact , a non-aggression treaty with a secret protocol . The parties gave each other rights to `` spheres of influence '' ( western Poland and Lithuania for Germany ; eastern Poland , Finland , Estonia , Latvia and Bessarabia for the USSR ) . It also raised the question of continuing Polish independence . The agreement was crucial to Hitler because it assured that Germany would not have to face the prospect of a two - front war , as it had in World War I , after it defeated Poland . The situation reached a general crisis in late August as German troops continued to mobilise against the Polish border . In a private meeting with the Italian foreign minister , Count Ciano , Hitler asserted that Poland was a `` doubtful neutral '' that needed to either yield to his demands or be `` liquidated '' to prevent it from drawing off German troops in the future `` unavoidable '' war with the Western democracies . He did not believe Britain or France would intervene in the conflict . On 23 August Hitler ordered the attack to proceed on 26 August , but upon hearing that Britain had concluded a formal mutual assistance pact with Poland and that Italy would maintain neutrality , he decided to delay it . In response to British requests for direct negotiations to avoid war , Germany made demands on Poland , which only served as a pretext to worsen relations . On 29 August , Hitler demanded that a Polish plenipotentiary immediately travel to Berlin to negotiate the handover of Danzig , and to allow a plebiscite in the Polish Corridor in which the German minority would vote on secession . The Poles refused to comply with the German demands and on the night of 30 -- 31 August in a violent meeting with the British ambassador Neville Henderson , Ribbentrop declared that Germany considered its claims rejected . Course of the War Further information : Diplomatic history of World War II War breaks out in Europe ( 1939 -- 40 ) Main articles : Invasion of Poland , Phoney War , Occupation of Poland ( 1939 -- 45 ) , Nazi crimes against the Polish nation , Soviet invasion of Poland , and Soviet repressions of Polish citizens ( 1939 -- 1946 ) Soldiers of the German Wehrmacht tearing down the border crossing between Poland and the Free City of Danzig , 1 September 1939 On 1 September 1939 , Germany invaded Poland under the false pretext that the Poles had carried out a series of sabotage operations against German targets near the border . Two days later , on 3 September , after a British ultimatum to Germany to cease military operations was ignored , Britain and France , followed by the fully independent Dominions of the British Commonwealth -- Australia ( 3 September ) , Canada ( 10 September ) , New Zealand ( 3 September ) , and South Africa ( 6 September ) -- declared war on Germany . However , initially the alliance provided limited direct military support to Poland , consisting of a cautious , half - hearted French probe into the Saarland . The Western Allies also began a naval blockade of Germany , which aimed to damage the country 's economy and war effort . Germany responded by ordering U-boat warfare against Allied merchant and warships , which was to later escalate into the Battle of the Atlantic . German tanks near the city of Bydgoszcz , during the Invasion of Poland September , 1939 On 17 September 1939 , after signing a cease - fire with Japan , the Soviets invaded Poland from the east . The Polish army was defeated and Warsaw surrendered to the Germans on 27 September with final pockets of resistance surrendering on 6 October . Poland 's territory was divided between Germany and the Soviet Union , with Lithuania and Slovakia also receiving small shares . After the defeat of Poland 's armed forces , the Polish resistance established an Underground State and a partisan Home Army . About 100,000 Polish military personnel were evacuated to Romania and the Baltic countries ; many of these soldiers later fought against the Germans in other theatres of the war . Poland 's Enigma codebreakers were also evacuated to France . On 6 October , Hitler made a public peace overture to Britain and France , but said that the future of Poland was to be determined exclusively by Germany and the Soviet Union . Chamberlain rejected this on 12 October , saying `` Past experience has shown that no reliance can be placed upon the promises of the present German Government . '' After this rejection Hitler ordered an immediate offensive against France , but bad weather forced repeated postponements until the spring of 1940 . German and Soviet army officers pictured shaking hands -- after Nazi Germany and Soviet Union annexed new territories in Eastern Europe , 1939 After signing the German -- Soviet Treaty of Friendship , Cooperation and Demarcation , the Soviet Union forced the Baltic countries -- Estonia , Latvia and Lithuania -- to allow it to station Soviet troops in their countries under pacts of `` mutual assistance '' . Finland rejected territorial demands , prompting a Soviet invasion in November 1939 . The resulting Winter War ended in March 1940 with Finnish concessions . Britain and France , treating the Soviet attack on Finland as tantamount to its entering the war on the side of the Germans , responded to the Soviet invasion by supporting the USSR 's expulsion from the League of Nations . In June 1940 , the Soviet Union forcibly annexed Estonia , Latvia and Lithuania , and the disputed Romanian regions of Bessarabia , Northern Bukovina and Hertza . Meanwhile , Nazi - Soviet political rapprochement and economic co-operation gradually stalled , and both states began preparations for war . Western Europe ( 1940 -- 41 ) Main article : Western Front ( World War II ) Map of the French Maginot Line In April 1940 , Germany invaded Denmark and Norway to protect shipments of iron ore from Sweden , which the Allies were attempting to cut off by unilaterally mining neutral Norwegian waters . Denmark capitulated after a few hours , and despite Allied support , during which the important harbour of Narvik temporarily was recaptured from the Germans , Norway was conquered within two months . British discontent over the Norwegian campaign led to the replacement of the British Prime Minister , Neville Chamberlain , with Winston Churchill on 10 May 1940 . Germany launched an offensive against France and , adhering to the Manstein Plan also attacked the neutral nations of Belgium , the Netherlands , and Luxembourg on 10 May 1940 . That same day British forces landed in Iceland and the Faroes to preempt a possible German invasion of the islands . The U.S. , in close co-operation with the Danish envoy to Washington D.C. , agreed to protect Greenland , laying the political framework for the formal establishment of bases in April 1941 . The Netherlands and Belgium were overrun using blitzkrieg tactics in a few days and weeks , respectively . The French - fortified Maginot Line and the main body of the Allied forces which had moved into Belgium were circumvented by a flanking movement through the thickly wooded Ardennes region , mistakenly perceived by Allied planners as an impenetrable natural barrier against armoured vehicles . As a result , the bulk of the Allied armies found themselves trapped in an encirclement and were beaten . The majority were taken prisoner , whilst over 300,000 , mostly British and French , were evacuated from the continent at Dunkirk by early June , although abandoning almost all of their equipment . On 10 June , Italy invaded France , declaring war on both France and the United Kingdom . Paris fell to the Germans on 14 June and eight days later France signed an armistice with Germany and was soon divided into German and Italian occupation zones , and an unoccupied rump state under the Vichy Regime , which , though officially neutral , was generally aligned with Germany . France kept its fleet but the British feared the Germans would seize it , so on 3 July , the British attacked it . View of London after the German Blitz , 29 December 1940 The Battle of Britain began in early July with Luftwaffe attacks on shipping and harbours . On 19 July , Hitler again publicly offered to end the war , saying he had no desire to destroy the British Empire . The United Kingdom rejected this ultimatum . The main German air superiority campaign started in August but failed to defeat RAF Fighter Command , and a proposed invasion was postponed indefinitely on 17 September . The German strategic bombing offensive intensified as night attacks on London and other cities in the Blitz , but largely failed to disrupt the British war effort . German Luftwaffe , Heinkel He 111 bombers during the Battle of Britain Using newly captured French ports , the German Navy enjoyed success against an over-extended Royal Navy , using U-boats against British shipping in the Atlantic . The British scored a significant victory on 27 May 1941 by sinking the German battleship Bismarck . Perhaps most importantly , during the Battle of Britain the Royal Air Force had successfully resisted the Luftwaffe 's assault , and the German bombing campaign largely ended in May 1941 . Throughout this period , the neutral United States took measures to assist China and the Western Allies . In November 1939 , the American Neutrality Act was amended to allow `` cash and carry '' purchases by the Allies . In 1940 , following the German capture of Paris , the size of the United States Navy was significantly increased . In September , the United States further agreed to a trade of American destroyers for British bases . Still , a large majority of the American public continued to oppose any direct military intervention into the conflict well into 1941 . Although Roosevelt had promised to keep the United States out of the war , he nevertheless took concrete steps to prepare for war . In December 1940 he accused Hitler of planning world conquest and ruled out negotiations as useless , calling for the US to become an `` arsenal of democracy '' and promoted the passage of Lend - Lease aid to support the British war effort . In January 1941 secret high level staff talks with the British began for the purposes of determining how to defeat Germany should the US enter the war . They decided on a number of offensive policies , including an air offensive , the `` early elimination '' of Italy , raids , support of resistance groups , and the capture of positions to launch an offensive against Germany . At the end of September 1940 , the Tripartite Pact united Japan , Italy and Germany to formalise the Axis Powers . The Tripartite Pact stipulated that any country , with the exception of the Soviet Union , not in the war which attacked any Axis Power would be forced to go to war against all three . The Axis expanded in November 1940 when Hungary , Slovakia and Romania joined the Tripartite Pact . Romania would make a major contribution ( as did Hungary ) to the Axis war against the USSR , partially to recapture territory ceded to the USSR , partially to pursue its leader Ion Antonescu 's desire to combat communism . Mediterranean ( 1940 -- 41 ) Main article : Mediterranean and Middle East theatre of World War II Soldiers of the British Commonwealth forces from the Australian Army 's 9th Division during the Siege of Tobruk ; North African Campaign , August 1941 Italy began operations in the Mediterranean , initiating a siege of Malta in June , conquering British Somaliland in August , and making an incursion into British - held Egypt in September 1940 . In October 1940 , Italy started the Greco - Italian War because of Mussolini 's jealousy of Hitler 's success but within days was repulsed with few territorial gains and a stalemate soon occurred . The United Kingdom responded to Greek requests for assistance by sending troops to Crete and providing air support to Greece . Hitler decided that when the weather improved he would take action against Greece to assist the Italians and prevent the British from gaining a foothold in the Balkans , to strike against the British naval dominance of the Mediterranean , and to secure his hold on Romanian oil . In December 1940 , British Commonwealth forces began counter-offensives against Italian forces in Egypt and Italian East Africa . The offensive in North Africa was highly successful and by early February 1941 Italy had lost control of eastern Libya and large numbers of Italian troops had been taken prisoner . The Italian Navy also suffered significant defeats , with the Royal Navy putting three Italian battleships out of commission by a carrier attack at Taranto , and neutralising several more warships at the Battle of Cape Matapan . Captured German Afrika Korps soldiers , December 1941 The Germans soon intervened to assist Italy . Hitler sent German forces to Libya in February , and by the end of March the Axis had launched an offensive which drove back the Commonwealth forces which had been weakened to support Greece . In under a month , Commonwealth forces were pushed back into Egypt with the exception of the besieged port of Tobruk that fell later . The Commonwealth attempted to dislodge Axis forces in May and again in June , but failed on both occasions . By late March 1941 , following Bulgaria 's signing of the Tripartite Pact , the Germans were in position to intervene in Greece . Plans were changed , however , because of developments in neighbouring Yugoslavia . The Yugoslav government had signed the Tripartite Pact on 25 March , only to be overthrown two days later by a British - encouraged coup . Hitler viewed the new regime as hostile and immediately decided to eliminate it . On 6 April Germany simultaneously invaded both Yugoslavia and Greece , making rapid progress and forcing both nations to surrender within the month . The British were driven from the Balkans after Germany conquered the Greek island of Crete by the end of May . Although the Axis victory was swift , bitter partisan warfare subsequently broke out against the Axis occupation of Yugoslavia , which continued until the end of the war . The Allies did have some successes during this time . In the Middle East , Commonwealth forces first quashed an uprising in Iraq which had been supported by German aircraft from bases within Vichy - controlled Syria , then , with the assistance of the Free French , invaded Syria and Lebanon to prevent further such occurrences .

With the Soviets wary of mounting tensions with Germany and the Japanese planning to take advantage of the European War by seizing resource - rich European possessions in Southeast Asia , the two powers signed the Soviet -- Japanese Neutrality Pact in April 1941 . By contrast , the Germans were steadily making preparations for an attack on the Soviet Union , massing forces on the Soviet border . Hitler believed that Britain 's refusal to end the war was based on the hope that the United States and the Soviet Union would enter the war against Germany sooner or later . He therefore decided to try to strengthen Germany 's relations with the Soviets , or failing that , to attack and eliminate them as a factor . In November 1940 , negotiations took place to determine if the Soviet Union would join the Tripartite Pact . The Soviets showed some interest , but asked for concessions from Finland , Bulgaria , Turkey , and Japan that Germany considered unacceptable . On 18 December 1940 , Hitler issued the directive to prepare for an invasion of the Soviet Union . German soldiers during the invasion of the Soviet Union by the Axis powers , 1941 On 22 June 1941 , Germany , supported by Italy and Romania , invaded the Soviet Union in Operation Barbarossa , with Germany accusing the Soviets of plotting against them . They were joined shortly by Finland and Hungary . The primary targets of this surprise offensive were the Baltic region , Moscow and Ukraine , with the ultimate goal of ending the 1941 campaign near the Arkhangelsk - Astrakhan line , from the Caspian to the White Seas . Hitler 's objectives were to eliminate the Soviet Union as a military power , exterminate Communism , generate Lebensraum ( `` living space '' ) by dispossessing the native population and guarantee access to the strategic resources needed to defeat Germany 's remaining rivals . Although the Red Army was preparing for strategic counter-offensives before the war , Barbarossa forced the Soviet supreme command to adopt a strategic defence . During the summer , the Axis made significant gains into Soviet territory , inflicting immense losses in both personnel and materiel . By the middle of August , however , the German Army High Command decided to suspend the offensive of a considerably depleted Army Group Centre , and to divert the 2nd Panzer Group to reinforce troops advancing towards central Ukraine and Leningrad . The Kiev offensive was overwhelmingly successful , resulting in encirclement and elimination of four Soviet armies , and made possible further advance into Crimea and industrially developed Eastern Ukraine ( the First Battle of Kharkov ) . Soviet civilians in Leningrad leaving destroyed houses , after a German bombardment of the city ; Battle of Leningrad , 10 December 1942 The diversion of three quarters of the Axis troops and the majority of their air forces from France and the central Mediterranean to the Eastern Front prompted Britain to reconsider its grand strategy . In July , the UK and the Soviet Union formed a military alliance against Germany The British and Soviets invaded neutral Iran to secure the Persian Corridor and Iran 's oil fields . In August , the United Kingdom and the United States jointly issued the Atlantic Charter . By October Axis operational objectives in Ukraine and the Baltic region were achieved , with only the sieges of Leningrad and Sevastopol continuing . A major offensive against Moscow was renewed ; after two months of fierce battles in increasingly harsh weather the German army almost reached the outer suburbs of Moscow , where the exhausted troops were forced to suspend their offensive . Large territorial gains were made by Axis forces , but their campaign had failed to achieve its main objectives : two key cities remained in Soviet hands , the Soviet capability to resist was not broken , and the Soviet Union retained a considerable part of its military potential . The blitzkrieg phase of the war in Europe had ended . By early December , freshly mobilised reserves allowed the Soviets to achieve numerical parity with Axis troops . This , as well as intelligence data which established that a minimal number of Soviet troops in the East would be sufficient to deter any attack by the Japanese Kwantung Army , allowed the Soviets to begin a massive counter-offensive that started on 5 December all along the front and pushed German troops 100 -- 250 kilometres ( 62 -- 155 mi ) west . War breaks out in the Pacific ( 1941 ) Main article : Pacific War In 1939 , the United States had renounced its trade treaty with Japan ; and , beginning with an aviation gasoline ban in July 1940 , Japan became subject to increasing economic pressure . During this time , Japan launched its first attack against Changsha , a strategically important Chinese city , but was repulsed by late September . Despite several offensives by both sides , the war between China and Japan was stalemated by 1940 . To increase pressure on China by blocking supply routes , and to better position Japanese forces in the event of a war with the Western powers , Japan invaded and occupied northern Indochina . Afterwards , the United States embargoed iron , steel and mechanical parts against Japan . Other sanctions soon followed . Chinese nationalist forces launched a large - scale counter-offensive in early 1940 . In August , Chinese communists launched an offensive in Central China ; in retaliation , Japan instituted harsh measures in occupied areas to reduce human and material resources for the communists . Continued antipathy between Chinese communist and nationalist forces culminated in armed clashes in January 1941 , effectively ending their co-operation . In March , the Japanese 11th army attacked the headquarters of the Chinese 19th army but was repulsed during Battle of Shanggao . In September , Japan attempted to take the city of Changsha again and clashed with Chinese nationalist forces . Mitsubishi A6M2 `` Zero '' fighters on the Imperial Japanese Navy aircraft carrier Shōkaku , just before the attack on Pearl Harbor German successes in Europe encouraged Japan to increase pressure on European governments in Southeast Asia . The Dutch government agreed to provide Japan some oil supplies from the Dutch East Indies , but negotiations for additional access to their resources ended in failure in June 1941 . In July 1941 Japan sent troops to southern Indochina , thus threatening British and Dutch possessions in the Far East . The United States , United Kingdom and other Western governments reacted to this move with a freeze on Japanese assets and a total oil embargo . At the same time , Japan was planning an invasion of the Soviet Far East , intending to capitalize off the German invasion in the west , but abandoned the operation after the sanctions . Since early 1941 the United States and Japan had been engaged in negotiations in an attempt to improve their strained relations and end the war in China . During these negotiations Japan advanced a number of proposals which were dismissed by the Americans as inadequate . At the same time the US , Britain , and the Netherlands engaged in secret discussions for the joint defence of their territories , in the event of a Japanese attack against any of them . Roosevelt reinforced the Philippines ( an American protectorate scheduled for independence in 1946 ) and warned Japan that the US would react to Japanese attacks against any `` neighboring countries '' . USS Arizona during the Japanese surprise air attack on the American pacific fleet , 7 December 1941 Frustrated at the lack of progress and feeling the pinch of the American - British - Dutch sanctions , Japan prepared for war . On 20 November a new government under Hideki Tojo presented an interim proposal as its final offer . It called for the end of American aid to China and for the supply of oil and other resources to Japan . In exchange Japan promised not to launch any attacks in Southeast Asia and to withdraw its forces from southern Indochina . The American counter-proposal of 26 November required that Japan evacuate all of China without conditions and conclude non-aggression pacts with all Pacific powers . That meant Japan was essentially forced to choose between abandoning its ambitions in China , or seizing the natural resources it needed in the Dutch East Indies by force ; the Japanese military did not consider the former an option , and many officers considered the oil embargo an unspoken declaration of war . Japan planned to rapidly seize European colonies in Asia to create a large defensive perimeter stretching into the Central Pacific ; the Japanese would then be free to exploit the resources of Southeast Asia while exhausting the over-stretched Allies by fighting a defensive war . To prevent American intervention while securing the perimeter it was further planned to neutralise the United States Pacific Fleet and the American military presence in the Philippines from the outset . On 7 December 1941 ( 8 December in Asian time zones ) , Japan attacked British and American holdings with near - simultaneous offensives against Southeast Asia and the Central Pacific . These included an attack on the American fleet at Pearl Harbor , the Philippines , landings in Thailand and Malaya and the battle of Hong Kong . These attacks led the United States , Britain , China , Australia and several other states to formally declare war on Japan , whereas the Soviet Union , being heavily involved in large - scale hostilities with European Axis countries , maintained its neutrality agreement with Japan . Germany , followed by the other Axis states , declared war on the United States in solidarity with Japan , citing as justification the American attacks on German war vessels that had been ordered by Roosevelt . Axis advance stalls ( 1942 -- 43 ) Seated at the Casablanca Conference ; US President Franklin D. Roosevelt and British PM Winston Churchill , January 1943 On 1 January 1942 , the Allied Big Four -- the Soviet Union , China , Britain and the United States -- and 22 smaller or exiled governments issued the Declaration by United Nations , thereby affirming the Atlantic Charter , and agreeing to not to sign a separate peace with the Axis powers . During 1942 , Allied officials debated on the appropriate grand strategy to pursue . All agreed that defeating Germany was the primary objective . The Americans favoured a straightforward , large - scale attack on Germany through France . The Soviets were also demanding a second front . The British , on the other hand , argued that military operations should target peripheral areas to wear out German strength , leading to increasing demoralisation , and bolster resistance forces . Germany itself would be subject to a heavy bombing campaign . An offensive against Germany would then be launched primarily by Allied armour without using large - scale armies . Eventually , the British persuaded the Americans that a landing in France was infeasible in 1942 and they should instead focus on driving the Axis out of North Africa . At the Casablanca Conference in early 1943 , the Allies reiterated the statements issued in the 1942 Declaration by the United Nations , and demanded the unconditional surrender of their enemies . The British and Americans agreed to continue to press the initiative in the Mediterranean by invading Sicily to fully secure the Mediterranean supply routes . Although the British argued for further operations in the Balkans to bring Turkey into the war , in May 1943 , the Americans extracted a British commitment to limit Allied operations in the Mediterranean to an invasion of the Italian mainland and to invade France in 1944 . Pacific ( 1942 -- 43 ) Map of Japanese military advances , until mid-1942 By the end of April 1942 , Japan and its ally Thailand had almost fully conquered Burma , Malaya , the Dutch East Indies , Singapore , and Rabaul , inflicting severe losses on Allied troops and taking a large number of prisoners . Despite stubborn resistance by Filipino and US forces , the Philippine Commonwealth was eventually captured in May 1942 , forcing its government into exile . On 16 April , in Burma , 7,000 British soldiers were encircled by the Japanese 33rd Division during the Battle of Yenangyaung and rescued by the Chinese 38th Division . Japanese forces also achieved naval victories in the South China Sea , Java Sea and Indian Ocean , and bombed the Allied naval base at Darwin , Australia . In January 1942 , the only Allied success against Japan was a Chinese victory at Changsha . These easy victories over unprepared US and European opponents left Japan overconfident , as well as overextended . In early May 1942 , Japan initiated operations to capture Port Moresby by amphibious assault and thus sever communications and supply lines between the United States and Australia . The planned invasion was thwarted when an Allied task force , centred on two American fleet carriers , fought Japanese naval forces to a draw in the Battle of the Coral Sea . Japan 's next plan , motivated by the earlier Doolittle Raid , was to seize Midway Atoll and lure American carriers into battle to be eliminated ; as a diversion , Japan would also send forces to occupy the Aleutian Islands in Alaska . In mid-May , Japan started the Zhejiang - Jiangxi Campaign in China , with the goal of inflicting retribution on the Chinese who aided the surviving American airmen in the Doolittle Raid by destroying air bases and fighting against the Chinese 23rd and 32nd Army Groups . In early June , Japan put its operations into action but the Americans , having broken Japanese naval codes in late May , were fully aware of plans and order of battle , and used this knowledge to achieve a decisive victory at Midway over the Imperial Japanese Navy . US Marines during the Guadalcanal Campaign , in the Pacific theatre , 1942 With its capacity for aggressive action greatly diminished as a result of the Midway battle , Japan chose to focus on a belated attempt to capture Port Moresby by an overland campaign in the Territory of Papua . The Americans planned a counter-attack against Japanese positions in the southern Solomon Islands , primarily Guadalcanal , as a first step towards capturing Rabaul , the main Japanese base in Southeast Asia . Both plans started in July , but by mid-September , the Battle for Guadalcanal took priority for the Japanese , and troops in New Guinea were ordered to withdraw from the Port Moresby area to the northern part of the island , where they faced Australian and United States troops in the Battle of Buna - Gona . Guadalcanal soon became a focal point for both sides with heavy commitments of troops and ships in the battle for Guadalcanal . By the start of 1943 , the Japanese were defeated on the island and withdrew their troops . In Burma , Commonwealth forces mounted two operations . The first , an offensive into the Arakan region in late 1942 , went disastrously , forcing a retreat back to India by May 1943 . The second was the insertion of irregular forces behind Japanese front - lines in February which , by the end of April , had achieved mixed results . Eastern front ( 1942 -- 43 ) Red Army soldiers on the counterattack , during the Battle of Stalingrad , February 1943 Despite considerable losses , in early 1942 Germany and its allies stopped a major Soviet offensive in central and southern Russia , keeping most territorial gains they had achieved during the previous year . In May the Germans defeated Soviet offensives in the Kerch Peninsula and at Kharkov , and then launched their main summer offensive against southern Russia in June 1942 , to seize the oil fields of the Caucasus and occupy Kuban steppe , while maintaining positions on the northern and central areas of the front . The Germans split Army Group South into two groups : Army Group A advanced to the lower Don River and struck south - east to the Caucasus , while Army Group B headed towards the Volga River . The Soviets decided to make their stand at Stalingrad on the Volga . By mid-November , the Germans had nearly taken Stalingrad in bitter street fighting when the Soviets began their second winter counter-offensive , starting with an encirclement of German forces at Stalingrad and an assault on the Rzhev salient near Moscow , though the latter failed disastrously . By early February 1943 , the German Army had taken tremendous losses ; German troops at Stalingrad had been forced to surrender , and the front - line had been pushed back beyond its position before the summer offensive . In mid-February , after the Soviet push had tapered off , the Germans launched another attack on Kharkov , creating a salient in their front line around the Russian city of Kursk . Western Europe / Atlantic & Mediterranean ( 1942 -- 43 ) American 8th Air Force Boeing B - 17 Flying Fortress bombing raid on the Focke - Wulf factory in Germany , 9 October 1943 Exploiting poor American naval command decisions , the German navy ravaged Allied shipping off the American Atlantic coast . By November 1941 , Commonwealth forces had launched a counter-offensive , Operation Crusader , in North Africa , and reclaimed all the gains the Germans and Italians had made . In North Africa , the Germans launched an offensive in January , pushing the British back to positions at the Gazala Line by early February , followed by a temporary lull in combat which Germany used to prepare for their upcoming offensives . Concerns the Japanese might use bases in Vichy - held Madagascar caused the British to invade the island in early May 1942 . An Axis offensive in Libya forced an Allied retreat deep inside Egypt until Axis forces were stopped at El Alamein . On the Continent , raids of Allied commandos on strategic targets , culminating in the disastrous Dieppe Raid , demonstrated the Western Allies ' inability to launch an invasion of continental Europe without much better preparation , equipment , and operational security . In August 1942 , the Allies succeeded in repelling a second attack against El Alamein and , at a high cost , managed to deliver desperately needed supplies to the besieged Malta . A few months later , the Allies commenced an attack of their own in Egypt , dislodging the Axis forces and beginning a drive west across Libya . This attack was followed up shortly after by Anglo - American landings in French North Africa , which resulted in the region joining the Allies . Hitler responded to the French colony 's defection by ordering the occupation of Vichy France ; although Vichy forces did not resist this violation of the armistice , they managed to scuttle their fleet to prevent its capture by German forces . The now pincered Axis forces in Africa withdrew into Tunisia , which was conquered by the Allies in May 1943 . In early 1943 the British and Americans began the Combined Bomber Offensive , a strategic bombing campaign against Germany . The goals were to disrupt the German war economy , reduce German morale , and `` de-house '' the civilian population . Allies gain momentum ( 1943 -- 44 ) US Navy SBD - 5 scout plane flies patrol over USS Washington and USS Lexington during the Gilbert and Marshall Islands campaign , 1943 After the Guadalcanal Campaign , the Allies initiated several operations against Japan in the Pacific . In May 1943 , Canadian and U.S. forces were sent to eliminate Japanese forces from the Aleutians . Soon after , the U.S. , with support from Australian and New Zealand forces , began major operations to isolate Rabaul by capturing surrounding islands , and breach the Japanese Central Pacific perimeter at the Gilbert and Marshall Islands . By the end of March 1944 , the Allies had completed both of these objectives , and had also neutralised the major Japanese base at Truk in the Caroline Islands . In April , the Allies launched an operation to retake Western New Guinea . In the Soviet Union , both the Germans and the Soviets spent the spring and early summer of 1943 preparing for large offensives in central Russia . On 4 July 1943 , Germany attacked Soviet forces around the Kursk Bulge . Within a week , German forces had exhausted themselves against the Soviets ' deeply echeloned and well - constructed defences and , for the first time in the war , Hitler cancelled the operation before it had achieved tactical or operational success . This decision was partially affected by the Western Allies ' invasion of Sicily launched on 9 July which , combined with previous Italian failures , resulted in the ousting and arrest of Mussolini later that month . Also , in July 1943 the British firebombed Hamburg killing over 40,000 people . Red Army troops , in a counter-offensive on German positions , at the Battle of Kursk , 1943 On 12 July 1943 , the Soviets launched their own counter-offensives , thereby dispelling any chance of German victory or even stalemate in the east . The Soviet victory at Kursk marked the end of German superiority , giving the Soviet Union the initiative on the Eastern Front . The Germans tried to stabilise their eastern front along the hastily fortified Panther -- Wotan line , but the Soviets broke through it at Smolensk and by the Lower Dnieper Offensives . On 3 September 1943 , the Western Allies invaded the Italian mainland , following Italy 's armistice with the Allies . Germany with the help of fascists responded by disarming Italian forces that were in many places without superior orders , seizing military control of Italian areas , and creating a series of defensive lines . German special forces then rescued Mussolini , who then soon established a new client state in German - occupied Italy named the Italian Social Republic , causing an Italian civil war . The Western Allies fought through several lines until reaching the main German defensive line in mid-November . The Allied leaders of the Asian and Pacific Theatre : Generalissimo Chiang Kai - shek , Franklin D. Roosevelt , and Winston Churchill meeting at the Cairo Conference , 25 November 1943 German operations in the Atlantic also suffered . By May 1943 , as Allied counter-measures became increasingly effective , the resulting sizeable German submarine losses forced a temporary halt of the German Atlantic naval campaign . In November 1943 , Franklin D. Roosevelt and Winston Churchill met with Chiang Kai - shek in Cairo and then with Joseph Stalin in Tehran . The former conference determined the post-war return of Japanese territory and the military planning for the Burma Campaign , while the latter included agreement that the Western Allies would invade Europe in 1944 and that the Soviet Union would declare war on Japan within three months of Germany 's defeat . Ruins of the Benedictine monastery , during the Battle of Monte Cassino ; Italian Campaign , May 1944 From November 1943 , during the seven - week Battle of Changde , the Chinese forced Japan to fight a costly war of attrition , while awaiting Allied relief . In January 1944 , the Allies launched a series of attacks in Italy against the line at Monte Cassino and tried to outflank it with landings at Anzio . By the end of January , a major Soviet offensive expelled German forces from the Leningrad region , ending the longest and most lethal siege in history . The following Soviet offensive was halted on the pre-war Estonian border by the German Army Group North aided by Estonians hoping to re-establish national independence . This delay slowed subsequent Soviet operations in the Baltic Sea region . By late May 1944 , the Soviets had liberated Crimea , largely expelled Axis forces from Ukraine , and made incursions into Romania , which were repulsed by the Axis troops . The Allied offensives in Italy had succeeded and , at the expense of allowing several German divisions to retreat , on 4 June , Rome was captured . The Allies had mixed success in mainland Asia . In March 1944 , the Japanese launched the first of two invasions , an operation against British positions in Assam , India , and soon besieged Commonwealth positions at Imphal and Kohima . In May 1944 , British forces mounted a counter-offensive that drove Japanese troops back to Burma , and Chinese forces that had invaded northern Burma in late 1943 besieged Japanese troops in Myitkyina . The second Japanese invasion of China aimed to destroy China 's main fighting forces , secure railways between Japanese - held territory and capture Allied airfields . By June , the Japanese had conquered the province of Henan and begun a new attack on Changsha in the Hunan province . Allies close in ( 1944 ) American troops approaching Omaha Beach , during the Invasion of Normandy on D - Day , 6 June 1944 On 6 June 1944 ( known as D - Day ) , after three years of Soviet pressure , the Western Allies invaded northern France . After reassigning several Allied divisions from Italy , they also attacked southern France . These landings were successful , and led to the defeat of the German Army units in France . Paris was liberated by the local resistance assisted by the Free French Forces , both led by General Charles de Gaulle , on 25 August and the Western Allies continued to push back German forces in western Europe during the latter part of the year . An attempt to advance into northern Germany spearheaded by a major airborne operation in the Netherlands failed . After that , the Western Allies slowly pushed into Germany , but failed to cross the Ruhr river in a large offensive . In Italy , Allied advance also slowed due to the last major German defensive line . German SS soldiers from the Dirlewanger Brigade , tasked with suppressing the Warsaw Uprising against Nazi occupation , August 1944 On 22 June , the Soviets launched a strategic offensive in Belarus ( `` Operation Bagration '' ) that destroyed the German Army Group Centre almost completely . Soon after that another Soviet strategic offensive forced German troops from Western Ukraine and Eastern Poland . The Soviet advance prompted resistance forces in Poland to initiate several uprisings against the German occupation . However , the largest of these in Warsaw , where German soldiers massacred 200,000 civilians , and a national uprising in Slovakia , did not receive Soviet support and were subsequently suppressed by the Germans . The Red Army 's strategic offensive in eastern Romania cut off and destroyed the considerable German troops there and triggered a successful coup d'état in Romania and in Bulgaria , followed by those countries ' shift to the Allied side . In September 1944 , Soviet troops advanced into Yugoslavia and forced the rapid withdrawal of German Army Groups E and F in Greece , Albania and Yugoslavia to rescue them from being cut off . By this point , the Communist - led Partisans under Marshal Josip Broz Tito , who had led an increasingly successful guerrilla campaign against the occupation since 1941 , controlled much of the territory of Yugoslavia and engaged in delaying efforts against German forces further south . In northern Serbia , the Red Army , with limited support from Bulgarian forces , assisted the Partisans in a joint liberation of the capital city of Belgrade on 20 October . A few days later , the Soviets launched a massive assault against German - occupied Hungary that lasted until the fall of Budapest in February 1945 . Unlike impressive Soviet victories in the Balkans , bitter Finnish resistance to the Soviet offensive in the Karelian Isthmus denied the Soviets occupation of Finland and led to a Soviet - Finnish armistice on relatively mild conditions , although Finland was forced to fight their former allies . General Douglas MacArthur lands at Leyte , during the Battle of Leyte , 20 October 1944 By the start of July 1944 , Commonwealth forces in Southeast Asia had repelled the Japanese sieges in Assam , pushing the Japanese back to the Chindwin River while the Chinese captured Myitkyina . In September 1944 , Chinese force captured the Mount Song to reopen the Burma Road . In China , the Japanese had more successes , having finally captured Changsha in mid-June and the city of Hengyang by early August . Soon after , they invaded the province of Guangxi , winning major engagements against Chinese forces at Guilin and Liuzhou by the end of November and successfully linking up their forces in China and Indochina by mid-December . In the Pacific , US forces continued to press back the Japanese perimeter . In mid-June 1944 , they began their offensive against the Mariana and Palau islands , and decisively defeated Japanese forces in the Battle of the Philippine Sea . These defeats led to the resignation of the Japanese Prime Minister , Hideki Tojo , and provided the United States with air bases to launch intensive heavy bomber attacks on the Japanese home islands . In late October , American forces invaded the Filipino island of Leyte ; soon after , Allied naval forces scored another large victory in the Battle of Leyte Gulf , one of the largest naval battles in history . Axis collapse , Allied victory ( 1944 -- 45 ) Yalta Conference held in February 1945 , with Winston Churchill , Franklin D. Roosevelt and Joseph Stalin On 16 December 1944 , Germany made a last attempt on the Western Front by using most of its remaining reserves to launch a massive counter-offensive in the Ardennes and along the French -- German border to split the Western Allies , encircle large portions of Western Allied troops and capture their primary supply port at Antwerp to prompt a political settlement . By January , the offensive had been repulsed with no strategic objectives fulfilled . In Italy , the Western Allies remained stalemated at the German defensive line . In mid-January 1945 , the Soviets and Poles attacked in Poland , pushing from the Vistula to the Oder river in Germany , and overran East Prussia . On 4 February , Soviet , British and US leaders met for the Yalta Conference . They agreed on the occupation of post-war Germany , and on when the Soviet Union would join the war against Japan . In February , the Soviets entered Silesia and Pomerania , while Western Allies entered western Germany and closed to the Rhine river . By March , the Western Allies crossed the Rhine north and south of the Ruhr , encircling the German Army Group B , while the Soviets advanced to Vienna . In early April , the Western Allies finally pushed forward in Italy and swept across western Germany capturing Hamburg and Nuremberg , while Soviet and Polish forces stormed Berlin in late April . American and Soviet forces met at the Elbe river on 25 April . On 30 April 1945 , the Reichstag was captured , signalling the military defeat of Nazi Germany . Several changes in leadership occurred during this period . On 12 April , President Roosevelt died and was succeeded by Harry S. Truman . Benito Mussolini was killed by Italian partisans on 28 April . Two days later , Hitler committed suicide , and was succeeded by Grand Admiral Karl Dönitz . The German Reichstag after its capture by the Allied forces , 3 June 1945 German forces surrendered in Italy on 29 April . Total and unconditional surrender was signed on 7 May , to be effective by the end of 8 May . German Army Group Centre resisted in Prague until 11 May . In the Pacific theatre , American forces accompanied by the forces of the Philippine Commonwealth advanced in the Philippines , clearing Leyte by the end of April 1945 . They landed on Luzon in January 1945 and recaptured Manila in March following a battle which reduced the city to ruins . Fighting continued on Luzon , Mindanao , and other islands of the Philippines until the end of the war . Meanwhile , the United States Army Air Forces ( USAAF ) were destroying strategic and populated cities and towns in Japan in an effort to destroy Japanese war industry and civilian morale . On the night of 9 -- 10 March , USAAF B - 29 bombers struck Tokyo with thousands of incendiary bombs , which killed 100,000 civilians and destroyed 16 square miles ( 41 km ) within a few hours . Over the next five months , the USAAF firebombed a total of 67 Japanese cities , killing 393,000 civilians and destroying 65 % of built - up areas . In May 1945 , Australian troops landed in Borneo , overrunning the oilfields there . British , American , and Chinese forces defeated the Japanese in northern Burma in March , and the British pushed on to reach Rangoon by 3 May . Chinese forces started to counterattack in Battle of West Hunan that occurred between 6 April and 7 June 1945 . American naval and amphibious forces also moved towards Japan , taking Iwo Jima by March , and Okinawa by the end of June . At the same time , American submarines cut off Japanese imports , drastically reducing Japan 's ability to supply its overseas forces . Japanese foreign affairs minister Mamoru Shigemitsu signs the Japanese Instrument of Surrender on board USS Missouri , 2 September 1945 On 11 July , Allied leaders met in Potsdam , Germany . They confirmed earlier agreements about Germany , and reiterated the demand for unconditional surrender of all Japanese forces by Japan , specifically stating that `` the alternative for Japan is prompt and utter destruction '' . During this conference , the United Kingdom held its general election , and Clement Attlee replaced Churchill as Prime Minister . The Allies called for unconditional Japanese surrender in the Potsdam Declaration of 27 July , but the Japanese government rejected the call . In early August , the USAAF dropped atomic bombs on the Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki . The Allies justified the atomic bombings as a military necessity to avoid invading the Japanese home islands which would cost the lives of between 250,000 and 500,000 Allied servicemen and millions of Japanese troops and civilians . Between the two bombings , the Soviets , pursuant to the Yalta agreement , invaded Japanese - held Manchuria , and quickly defeated the Kwantung Army , which was the largest Japanese fighting force . The Red Army also captured Sakhalin Island and the Kuril Islands . On 15 August 1945 , Japan surrendered , with the surrender documents finally signed at Tokyo Bay on the deck of the American battleship USS Missouri on 2 September 1945 , ending the war . Aftermath Main articles : Aftermath of World War II and Consequences of Nazism Defendants at the Nuremberg trials , where the Allied forces prosecuted prominent members of the political , military , judicial and economic leadership of Nazi Germany for crimes against humanity The Allies established occupation administrations in Austria and Germany . The former became a neutral state , non-aligned with any political bloc . The latter was divided into western and eastern occupation zones controlled by the Western Allies and the USSR , accordingly . A denazification programme in Germany led to the prosecution of Nazi war criminals and the removal of ex-Nazis from power , although this policy moved towards amnesty and re-integration of ex-Nazis into West German society . Ruins of Warsaw in January 1945 , after the deliberate destruction of the city by the occupying German forces Germany lost a quarter of its pre-war ( 1937 ) territory . Among the eastern territories , Silesia , Neumark and most of Pomerania were taken over by Poland , East Prussia was divided between Poland and the USSR , followed by the expulsion of the 9 million Germans from these provinces , as well as the expulsion of 3 million Germans from the Sudetenland in Czechoslovakia to Germany . By the 1950s , every fifth West German was a refugee from the east . The Soviet Union also took over the Polish provinces east of the Curzon line , from which 2 million Poles were expelled ; north - east Romania , parts of eastern Finland , and the three Baltic states were also incorporated into the USSR . In an effort to maintain world peace , the Allies formed the United Nations , which officially came into existence on 24 October 1945 , and adopted the Universal Declaration of Human Rights in 1948 , as a common standard for all member nations . The great powers that were the victors of the war -- France , China , Britain , the Soviet Union and the United States -- became the permanent members of the UN 's Security Council . The five permanent members remain so to the present , although there have been two seat changes , between the Republic of China and the People 's Republic of China in 1971 , and between the Soviet Union and its successor state , the Russian Federation , following the dissolution of the Soviet Union in 1991 . The alliance between the Western Allies and the Soviet Union had begun to deteriorate even before the war was over . Post-war Soviet territorial expansion resulted in Central and Eastern European border changes , the creation of a Communist Bloc and start of the Cold War Germany had been de facto divided , and two independent states , the Federal Republic of Germany and the German Democratic Republic were created within the borders of Allied and Soviet occupation zones , accordingly . The rest of Europe was also divided into Western and Soviet spheres of influence . Most eastern and central European countries fell into the Soviet sphere , which led to establishment of Communist - led regimes , with full or partial support of the Soviet occupation authorities . As a result , East Germany , Poland , Hungary , Romania , Czechoslovakia , and Albania became Soviet satellite states . Communist Yugoslavia conducted a fully independent policy , causing tension with the USSR . Post-war division of the world was formalised by two international military alliances , the United States - led NATO and the Soviet - led Warsaw Pact ; the long period of political tensions and military competition between them , the Cold War , would be accompanied by an unprecedented arms race and proxy wars . In Asia , the United States led the occupation of Japan and administrated Japan 's former islands in the Western Pacific , while the Soviets annexed Sakhalin and the Kuril Islands . Korea , formerly under Japanese rule , was divided and occupied by the Soviet Union in the North and the US in the South between 1945 and 1948 . Separate republics emerged on both sides of the 38th parallel in 1948 , each claiming to be the legitimate government for all of Korea , which led ultimately to the Korean War . David Ben - Gurion proclaiming the Israeli Declaration of Independence at the Independence Hall , 14 May 1948 In China , nationalist and communist forces resumed the civil war in June 1946 . Communist forces were victorious and established the People 's Republic of China on the mainland , while nationalist forces retreated to Taiwan in 1949 . In the Middle East , the Arab rejection of the United Nations Partition Plan for Palestine and the creation of Israel marked the escalation of the Arab -- Israeli conflict . While European powers attempted to retain some or all of their colonial empires , their losses of prestige and resources during the war rendered this unsuccessful , leading to decolonisation . The global economy suffered heavily from the war , although participating nations were affected differently . The US emerged much richer than any other nation ; it had a baby boom and by 1950 its gross domestic product per person was much higher than that of any of the other powers and it dominated the world economy . The UK and US pursued a policy of industrial disarmament in Western Germany in the years 1945 -- 1948 . Because of international trade interdependencies this led to European economic stagnation and delayed European recovery for several years . Recovery began with the mid-1948 currency reform in Western Germany , and was sped up by the liberalisation of European economic policy that the Marshall Plan ( 1948 -- 1951 ) both directly and indirectly caused . The post-1948 West German recovery has been called the German economic miracle . Italy also experienced an economic boom and the French economy rebounded . By contrast , the United Kingdom was in a state of economic ruin , and although it received a quarter of the total Marshall Plan assistance , more than any other European country , continued relative economic decline for decades . The Soviet Union , despite enormous human and material losses , also experienced rapid increase in production in the immediate post-war era . Japan experienced incredibly rapid economic growth , becoming one of the most powerful economies in the world by the 1980s . China returned to its pre-war industrial production by 1952 . Impact Casualties and War Crimes Main articles : World War II casualties , War crimes during World War II , War crimes in occupied Poland during World War II , German war crimes , War crimes of the Wehrmacht , Italian war crimes , Japanese war crimes , Allied war crimes during World War II , and Soviet war crimes World War II deaths Estimates for the total number of casualties in the war vary , because many deaths went unrecorded . Most suggest that some 60 million people died in the war , including about 20 million military personnel and 40 million civilians . Many of the civilians died because of deliberate genocide , massacres , mass - bombings , disease , and starvation . The Soviet Union lost around 27 million people during the war , including 8.7 million military and 19 million civilian deaths . The largest portion of military dead were 5.7 million ethnic Russians , followed by 1.3 million ethnic Ukrainians . A quarter of the people in the Soviet Union were wounded or killed . Germany sustained 5.3 million military losses , mostly on the Eastern Front and during the final battles in Germany . Of the total number of deaths in World War II , approximately 85 per cent -- mostly Soviet and Chinese -- were on the Allied side and 15 per cent were on the Axis side . Many of these deaths were caused by war crimes committed by German and Japanese forces in occupied territories . An estimated 11 to 17 million civilians died either as a direct or as an indirect result of Nazi racist policies , including the Holocaust of around 6 million Jews , half of whom were Polish citizens , along with a further minimum 1.9 million ethnic Poles . Millions of other Slavs ( including Russians , Ukrainians and Belarusians ) , Roma , homosexuals , and other ethnic and minority groups were also killed . Hundreds of thousands ( varying estimates ) of ethnic Serbs , along with gypsies and Jews , were murdered by the Axis - aligned Croatian Ustaše in Yugoslavia , and retribution - related killings were committed just after the war ended . Chinese civilians being buried alive by soldiers of the Imperial Japanese Army , during the Nanking Massacre , December 1937 In Asia and the Pacific , between 3 million and more than 10 million civilians , mostly Chinese ( estimated at 7.5 million ) , were killed by the Japanese occupation forces . The best - known Japanese atrocity was the Nanking Massacre , in which fifty to three hundred thousand Chinese civilians were raped and murdered . Mitsuyoshi Himeta reported that 2.7 million casualties occurred during the Sankō Sakusen . General Yasuji Okamura implemented the policy in Heipei and Shantung . Axis forces employed biological and chemical weapons . The Imperial Japanese Army used a variety of such weapons during its invasion and occupation of China ( see Unit 731 ) and in early conflicts against the Soviets . Both the Germans and Japanese tested such weapons against civilians and , sometimes on prisoners of war . The Soviet Union was responsible for the Katyn massacre of 22,000 Polish officers , and the imprisonment or execution of thousands of political prisoners by the NKVD , in the Baltic states , and eastern Poland annexed by the Red Army . The mass - bombing of cities in Europe and Asia has often been called a war crime . However , no positive or specific customary international humanitarian law with respect to aerial warfare existed before or during World War II . Genocide , concentration camps , and slave labour Main articles : Genocide , The Holocaust , Nazi concentration camps , Extermination camp , Forced labour under German rule during World War II , Kidnapping of children by Nazi Germany , and Nazi human experimentation Schutzstaffel ( SS ) female camp guards remove prisoners ' bodies from lorries and carry them to a mass grave , inside the German Bergen - Belsen concentration camp , 1945 The German government led by Adolf Hitler and the Nazi Party was responsible for the Holocaust , the killing of approximately 6 million Jews , as well as 2.7 million ethnic Poles , and 4 million others who were deemed `` unworthy of life '' ( including the disabled and mentally ill , Soviet prisoners of war , homosexuals , Freemasons , Jehovah 's Witnesses , and Romani ) as part of a programme of deliberate extermination . About 12 million , most of whom were Eastern Europeans , were employed in the German war economy as forced labourers . In addition to Nazi concentration camps , the Soviet gulags ( labour camps ) led to the death of citizens of occupied countries such as Poland , Lithuania , Latvia , and Estonia , as well as German prisoners of war ( POWs ) and even Soviet citizens who had been or were thought to be supporters of the Nazis . Sixty per cent of Soviet POWs of the Germans died during the war . Richard Overy gives the number of 5.7 million Soviet POWs . Of those , 57 per cent died or were killed , a total of 3.6 million . Soviet ex-POWs and repatriated civilians were treated with great suspicion as potential Nazi collaborators , and some of them were sent to the Gulag upon being checked by the NKVD . Prisoner identity photograph taken by the German SS of a Polish girl deported as forced labour to Auschwitz , December 1942 Japanese prisoner - of - war camps , many of which were used as labour camps , also had high death rates . The International Military Tribunal for the Far East found the death rate of Western prisoners was 27.1 per cent ( for American POWs , 37 per cent ) , seven times that of POWs under the Germans and Italians . While 37,583 prisoners from the UK , 28,500 from the Netherlands , and 14,473 from the United States were released after the surrender of Japan , the number of Chinese released was only 56 . According to historian Zhifen Ju , at least five million Chinese civilians from northern China and Manchukuo were enslaved between 1935 and 1941 by the East Asia Development Board , or Kōain , for work in mines and war industries . After 1942 , the number reached 10 million . The US Library of Congress estimates that in Java , between 4 and 10 million rōmusha ( Japanese : `` manual labourers '' ) , were forced to work by the Japanese military . About 270,000 of these Javanese labourers were sent to other Japanese - held areas in South East Asia , and only 52,000 were repatriated to Java . On 19 February 1942 , Roosevelt signed Executive Order 9066 , interning about 100,000 Japanese living on the West Coast . Canada had a similar programme . In addition , 14,000 German and Italian citizens who had been assessed as being security risks were also interned . In accordance with the Allied agreement made at the Yalta Conference millions of POWs and civilians were used as forced labour by the Soviet Union . In Hungary 's case , Hungarians were forced to work for the Soviet Union until 1955 . Occupation Main articles : German - occupied Europe , Lebensraum , Untermensch , Collaboration with the Axis Powers during World War II , Resistance during World War II , and Nazi plunder Polish civilians wearing blindfolds photographed just before their execution by German soldiers in Palmiry forest , 1940 In Europe , occupation came under two forms . In Western , Northern , and Central Europe ( France , Norway , Denmark , the Low Countries , and the annexed portions of Czechoslovakia ) Germany established economic policies through which it collected roughly 69.5 billion reichmarks ( 27.8 billion US Dollars ) by the end of the war , this figure does not include the sizeable plunder of industrial products , military equipment , raw materials and other goods . Thus , the income from occupied nations was over 40 per cent of the income Germany collected from taxation , a figure which increased to nearly 40 per cent of total German income as the war went on . Russian Academy of Sciences reported in 1995 civilian victims in the Soviet Union at German hands totalled 13.7 million dead , twenty percent of the 68 million persons in the occupied USSR In the East , the intended gains of Lebensraum were never attained as fluctuating front - lines and Soviet scorched earth policies denied resources to the German invaders . Unlike in the West , the Nazi racial policy encouraged extreme brutality against what it considered to be the `` inferior people '' of Slavic descent ; most German advances were thus followed by mass executions . Although resistance groups formed in most occupied territories , they did not significantly hamper German operations in either the East or the West until late 1943 . In Asia , Japan termed nations under its occupation as being part of the Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere , essentially a Japanese hegemony which it claimed was for purposes of liberating colonised peoples . Although Japanese forces were originally welcomed as liberators from European domination in some territories , their excessive brutality turned local public opinion against them within weeks . During Japan 's initial conquest it captured 4,000,000 barrels ( 640,000 m ) of oil ( ~ 5.5 × 10 tonnes ) left behind by retreating Allied forces , and by 1943 was able to get production in the Dutch East Indies up to 50 million barrels ( ~ 6.8 × 10 ^ t ) , 76 per cent of its 1940 output rate . Home fronts and production Main articles : Military production during World War II and Home front during World War II Allied to Axis GDP ratio In Europe , before the outbreak of the war , the Allies had significant advantages in both population and economics . In 1938 , the Western Allies ( United Kingdom , France , Poland and British Dominions ) had a 30 per cent larger population and a 30 per cent higher gross domestic product than the European Axis powers ( Germany and Italy ) ; if colonies are included , it then gives the Allies more than a 5 : 1 advantage in population and nearly 2 : 1 advantage in GDP . In Asia at the same time , China had roughly six times the population of Japan , but only an 89 per cent higher GDP ; this is reduced to three times the population and only a 38 per cent higher GDP if Japanese colonies are included . The United States provided about two - thirds of all the ordnance used by the Allies in terms of warships , transports , warplanes , artillery , tanks , trucks , and ammunition . Though the Allies ' economic and population advantages were largely mitigated during the initial rapid blitzkrieg attacks of Germany and Japan , they became the decisive factor by 1942 , after the United States and Soviet Union joined the Allies , as the war largely settled into one of attrition . While the Allies ' ability to out - produce the Axis is often attributed to the Allies having more access to natural resources , other factors , such as Germany and Japan 's reluctance to employ women in the labour force , Allied strategic bombing , and Germany 's late shift to a war economy contributed significantly . Additionally , neither Germany nor Japan planned to fight a protracted war , and were not equipped to do so . To improve their production , Germany and Japan used millions of slave labourers ; Germany used about 12 million people , mostly from Eastern Europe , while Japan used more than 18 million people in Far East Asia . Advances in Technology and Warfare Main article : Technology during World War II B - 29 Superfortress strategic bombers on the Boeing assembly line in Wichita , Kansas , 1944 Aircraft were used for reconnaissance , as fighters , bombers , and ground - support , and each role was advanced considerably . Innovation included airlift ( the capability to quickly move limited high - priority supplies , equipment , and personnel ) ; and of strategic bombing ( the bombing of enemy industrial and population centres to destroy the enemy 's ability to wage war ) . Anti-aircraft weaponry also advanced , including defences such as radar and surface - to - air artillery , such as the German 88 mm gun . The use of the jet aircraft was pioneered and , though late introduction meant it had little impact , it led to jets becoming standard in air forces worldwide . Advances were made in nearly every aspect of naval warfare , most notably with aircraft carriers and submarines . Although aeronautical warfare had relatively little success at the start of the war , actions at Taranto , Pearl Harbor , and the Coral Sea established the carrier as the dominant capital ship in place of the battleship . In the Atlantic , escort carriers proved to be a vital part of Allied convoys , increasing the effective protection radius and helping to close the Mid-Atlantic gap . Carriers were also more economical than battleships because of the relatively low cost of aircraft and their not requiring to be as heavily armoured . Submarines , which had proved to be an effective weapon during the First World War , were anticipated by all sides to be important in the second . The British focused development on anti-submarine weaponry and tactics , such as sonar and convoys , while Germany focused on improving its offensive capability , with designs such as the Type VII submarine and wolfpack tactics . Gradually , improving Allied technologies such as the Leigh light , hedgehog , squid , and homing torpedoes proved victorious . A V - 2 rocket launched from a fixed site in Peenemünde , 21 June 1943 Land warfare changed from the static front lines of World War I to increased mobility and combined arms . The tank , which had been used predominantly for infantry support in the First World War , had evolved into the primary weapon . In the late 1930s , tank design was considerably more advanced than it had been during World War I , and advances continued throughout the war with increases in speed , armour and firepower . At the start of the war , most commanders thought enemy tanks should be met by tanks with superior specifications . This idea was challenged by the poor performance of the relatively light early tank guns against armour , and German doctrine of avoiding tank - versus - tank combat . This , along with Germany 's use of combined arms , were among the key elements of their highly successful blitzkrieg tactics across Poland and France . Many means of destroying tanks , including indirect artillery , anti-tank guns ( both towed and self - propelled ) , mines , short - ranged infantry antitank weapons , and other tanks were used . Even with large - scale mechanisation , infantry remained the backbone of all forces , and throughout the war , most infantry were equipped similarly to World War I . Nuclear Gadget being raised to the top of the detonation `` shot tower '' , at Alamogordo Bombing Range ; Trinity nuclear test , New Mexico , July 1945 The portable machine gun spread , a notable example being the German MG34 , and various submachine guns which were suited to close combat in urban and jungle settings . The assault rifle , a late war development incorporating many features of the rifle and submachine gun , became the standard postwar infantry weapon for most armed forces . Most major belligerents attempted to solve the problems of complexity and security involved in using large codebooks for cryptography by designing ciphering machines , the most well known being the German Enigma machine . Development of SIGINT ( signals intelligence ) and cryptanalysis enabled the countering process of decryption . Notable examples were the Allied decryption of Japanese naval codes and British Ultra , a pioneering method for decoding Enigma benefiting from information given to Britain by the Polish Cipher Bureau , which had been decoding early versions of Enigma before the war . Another aspect of military intelligence was the use of deception , which the Allies used to great effect , such as in operations Mincemeat and Bodyguard . Other technological and engineering feats achieved during , or as a result of , the war include the world 's first programmable computers ( Z3 , Colossus , and ENIAC ) , guided missiles and modern rockets , the Manhattan Project 's development of nuclear weapons , operations research and the development of artificial harbours and oil pipelines under the English Channel .

when did world war 2 start in asia
[ "The Empire of Japan aimed to dominate Asia and the Pacific and was already at war with the Republic of China in 1937,[5] but the world war is generally said to have begun on 1 September 1939[6] with the invasion of Poland by Nazi Germany and subsequent declarations of war on Germany by France and the United Kingdom. Supplied by the Soviet Union, from late 1939 to early 1941, in a series of campaigns and treaties, Germany conquered or controlled much of continental Europe, and formed the Axis alliance with Italy and Japan. Under the Molotov–Ribbentrop Pact of August 1939, Germany and the Soviet Union partitioned and annexed territories of their European neighbours, Poland, Finland, Romania and the Baltic states. The war continued primarily between the European Axis powers and the coalition of the United Kingdom and the British Commonwealth, with campaigns including the North Africa and East Africa campaigns, the aerial Battle of Britain, the Blitz bombing campaign, the Balkan Campaign as well as the long-running Battle of the Atlantic. On 22 June 1941, the European Axis powers launched an invasion of the Soviet Union, opening the largest land theatre of war in history, which trapped the major part of the Axis military forces into a war of attrition. In December 1941, Japan attacked the United States and European colonies in the Pacific Ocean, and quickly conquered much of the Western Pacific." ]

The single became a gold record , selling two million copies from 1969 to 1970 and reached number three on the US Billboard Hot 100 chart ( April 18 , 1970 ) , where it lasted for 15 weeks in the Top 100 . Billboard ranked the record the No. 22 song of 1970 . It also climbed to number one on the UK , Australian and Canadian charts in 1970 . Rolling Stone ranked `` Spirit in the Sky '' No. 333 on its list of the 500 Greatest Songs of All Time . The song was featured on the 1969 album of the same name . Cover versions by Doctor and the Medics and Gareth Gates have also made the number 1 spot in the UK .

In a 2006 interview with the New York Times , Greenbaum told a reporter he was inspired to write the song after watching Porter Wagoner singing a gospel song on TV . Greenbaum said : `` I thought , ' Yeah , I could do that , ' knowing nothing about gospel music , so I sat down and wrote my own gospel song . It came easy . I wrote the words in 15 minutes . '' Greenbaum had previously been a member of psychedelic jug band Dr. West 's Medicine Show and Junk Band . When they split up he won a solo contract with producer Erik Jacobsen for Reprise Records . Jacobsen had previously worked with The Lovin ' Spoonful and the song was included on Greenbaum 's first solo album . The song 's arrangement came together in the studio in San Francisco where lead guitarist Russell DaShiell , bass player Doug Killmer from the band Crowfoot and drummer Norman Mayell from the band Sopwith Camel worked with Greenbaum . According to the New York Times article , Greenbaum used a Fender Telecaster with a fuzz box built into the body to generate the song 's characteristic guitar sound . The resulting sound was an `` oddly compelling '' combination of gospel and hard rock music , with loud drums , distorted electric guitar , clapping hands , and tambourines . The production team brought in the Stovall Sisters , an Oakland - based gospel trio , to sing backing vocals . Because of the song 's length and lyrics , the record company was initially reluctant to issue it , but was finally released as a single after two other singles from the album had poor sales . `` Spirit in the Sky '' became a worldwide hit , and was at the time the best - selling single ever for the Reprise label . There is a music video with Greenbaum singing the song . About the song , Greenbaum has been quoted as saying , `` It sounds as fresh today as when it was recorded . I 've gotten letters from funeral directors telling me that it 's their second-most - requested song to play at memorial services , next to ' Danny Boy ' .

Hamlet
Hamlet - wikipedia Hamlet Jump to : navigation , search This article is about the play by William Shakespeare . For other uses , see Hamlet ( disambiguation ) . The American actor Edwin Booth as Hamlet , ca . 1870 The Tragedy of Hamlet , Prince of Denmark , often shortened to Hamlet ( / ˈhæmlɪt / ) , is a tragedy written by William Shakespeare at an uncertain date between 1599 and 1602 . Set in Denmark , the play dramatises the revenge Prince Hamlet is called to wreak upon his uncle , Claudius , by the ghost of Hamlet 's father , King Hamlet . Claudius had murdered his own brother and seized the throne , also marrying his deceased brother 's widow . Hamlet is Shakespeare 's longest play , and is considered among the most powerful and influential works of world literature , with a story capable of `` seemingly endless retelling and adaptation by others '' . It was probably one of Shakespeare 's most popular works during his lifetime , and still ranks among his most performed , topping the performance list of the Royal Shakespeare Company and its predecessors in Stratford - upon - Avon since 1879 . It has inspired many other writers -- from Johann Wolfgang von Goethe and Charles Dickens to James Joyce and Iris Murdoch -- and has been described as `` the world 's most filmed story after Cinderella '' . The story of Shakespeare 's Hamlet was derived from the legend of Amleth , preserved by 13th - century chronicler Saxo Grammaticus in his Gesta Danorum , as subsequently retold by the 16th - century scholar François de Belleforest . Shakespeare may also have drawn on an earlier Elizabethan play known today as the Ur - Hamlet , though some scholars believe he himself wrote the Ur - Hamlet , later revising it to create the version of Hamlet we now have . He almost certainly wrote his version of the title role for his fellow actor , Richard Burbage , the leading tragedian of Shakespeare 's time . In the 400 years since its inception , the role has been performed by numerous highly acclaimed actors in each successive century . Three different early versions of the play are extant : the First Quarto ( Q1 , 1603 ) ; the Second Quarto ( Q2 , 1604 ) ; and the First Folio ( F1 , 1623 ) . Each version includes lines and entire scenes missing from the others . The play 's structure and depth of characterisation have inspired much critical scrutiny . One such example is the centuries - old debate about Hamlet 's hesitation to kill his uncle , which some see as merely a plot device to prolong the action , but which others argue is a dramatisation of the complex philosophical and ethical issues that surround cold - blooded murder , calculated revenge , and thwarted desire . More recently , psychoanalytic critics have examined Hamlet 's unconscious desires , while feminist critics have re-evaluated and attempted to rehabilitate the often maligned characters of Ophelia and Gertrude .

Claudius hastily married King Hamlet 's widow , Gertrude , Hamlet 's mother , and took the throne for himself . Denmark has a long - standing feud with neighboring Norway , in which King Hamlet slew King Fortinbras of Norway in a battle some years ago . Although Denmark defeated Norway , and the Norwegian throne fell to King Fortinbras 's infirm brother , Denmark fears that an invasion led by the dead Norwegian king 's son , Prince Fortinbras , is imminent . On a cold night on the ramparts of Elsinore , the Danish royal castle , the sentries Bernardo and Marcellus and Hamlet 's friend Horatio encounter a ghost that looks like the late King Hamlet . They vow to tell Prince Hamlet what they have witnessed . As the court gathers the next day , while King Claudius and Queen Gertrude discuss affairs of state with their elderly adviser Polonius , Hamlet looks on glumly . After the court exits , Hamlet despairs of his father 's death and his mother 's hasty remarriage . Learning of the ghost from Horatio , Hamlet resolves to see it himself . Horatio , Hamlet , and the ghost ( Artist : Henry Fuseli , 1789 ) As Polonius 's son Laertes prepares to depart for a visit to France , Polonius gives him contradictory advice that culminates in the ironic maxim `` to thine own self be true . '' Polonius 's daughter , Ophelia , admits her interest in Hamlet , but both Polonius and Laertes warn her against seeking the prince 's attention . That night on the rampart , the ghost appears to Hamlet , telling the prince that he was murdered by Claudius and demanding that Hamlet avenge him . Hamlet agrees and the ghost vanishes . The prince confides to Horatio and the sentries that from now on he plans to `` put an antic disposition on , '' or act as though he has gone mad , and forces them to swear to keep his plans for revenge secret . Privately , however , he remains uncertain of the ghost 's reliability . Act II ( edit ) Soon thereafter , Ophelia rushes to her father , telling him that Hamlet arrived at her door the prior night half - undressed and behaving crazily . Polonius blames love for Hamlet 's madness and resolves to inform Claudius and Gertrude . As he enters to do so , the king and queen finish welcoming Rosencrantz and Guildenstern , two student acquaintances of Hamlet , to Elsinore . The royal couple has requested that the students investigate the cause of Hamlet 's mood and behavior . Additional news requires that Polonius wait to be heard : messengers from Norway inform Claudius that the King of Norway has rebuked Prince Fortinbras for attempting to re-fight his father 's battles . The forces that Fortinbras had conscripted to march against Denmark will instead be sent against Poland , though they will pass through a portion of Denmark to get there . Polonius tells Claudius and Gertrude his theory regarding Hamlet 's behavior , and speaks to Hamlet in a hall of the castle to try to uncover more information . Hamlet feigns madness but subtly insults Polonius all the while . When Rosencrantz and Guildenstern arrive , Hamlet greets his `` friends '' warmly , but quickly discerns that they are spies . Hamlet becomes bitter , admitting that he is upset at his situation but refusing to give the true reason why , instead commenting on `` what a piece of work '' humanity is . Rosencrantz and Guildenstern tell Hamlet that they have brought along a troupe of actors that they met while traveling to Elsinore . Hamlet , after welcoming the actors and dismissing his friends - turned - spies , plots to stage a play featuring a death in the style of his father 's murder , thereby determining the truth of the ghost 's story , as well as Claudius 's guilt or innocence , by studying Claudius 's reaction . Act III ( edit ) Polonius forces Ophelia to return Hamlet 's love letters and tokens of affection to the prince while he and Claudius watch from afar to evaluate Hamlet 's reaction . Hamlet is walking alone in the hall as the King and Polonius await Ophelia 's entrance , musing whether `` to be or not to be '' . When Ophelia enters and tries to return Hamlet 's things , Hamlet accuses her of immodesty and cries `` get thee to a nunnery , '' though it is unclear whether this , too , is a show of madness or genuine distress . His reaction convinces Claudius that Hamlet is not mad for love . Shortly thereafter , the court assembles to watch the play Hamlet has commissioned . After seeing the Player King murdered by his rival pouring poison in his ear , Claudius abruptly rises and runs from the room : for Hamlet , proof positive of his uncle 's guilt . Hamlet mistakenly stabs Polonius ( Artist : Coke Smyth , 19th century ) . Gertrude summons Hamlet to her room to demand an explanation . Meanwhile , Claudius talks to himself about the impossibility of repenting , since he still has possession of his ill - gotten goods : his brother 's crown and wife . He sinks to his knees . Hamlet , on his way to visit his mother , sneaks up behind him , but does not kill him , reasoning that killing Claudius while he is praying will send him straight to heaven while his father 's ghost is stuck in purgatory . In the queen 's bedchamber , Hamlet and Gertrude fight bitterly . Polonius , spying on the conversation from behind a tapestry , makes a noise . Hamlet , believing it is Claudius , stabs wildly , killing Polonius , but pulls aside the curtain and sees his mistake . In a rage , Hamlet brutally insults his mother for her apparent ignorance of Claudius 's villainy , but the ghost enters and reprimands Hamlet for his inaction and harsh words . Unable to see or hear the ghost herself , Gertrude takes Hamlet 's conversation with it as further evidence of madness . After begging the queen to stop sleeping with Claudius , Hamlet leaves , dragging Polonius 's corpse away . Act IV ( edit ) Hamlet jokes with Claudius about where he has hidden Polonius 's body , and the king , fearing for his life , sends Rosencrantz and Guildenstern to accompany Hamlet to England with a sealed letter to the English king requesting that Hamlet be executed immediately . Demented by grief at Polonius 's death , Ophelia wanders Elsinore . Laertes arrives back from France , enraged by his father 's death and his sister 's madness . Claudius convinces Laertes that Hamlet is solely responsible , but a letter soon arrives indicating that Hamlet has returned to Denmark , foiling Claudius ' plan . Claudius switches tactics , proposing a fencing match between Laertes and Hamlet to settle their differences . Laertes will be given a poison - tipped foil , and Claudius will offer Hamlet poisoned wine as a congratulation if that fails . Gertrude interrupts to report that Ophelia has drowned , though it is unclear whether it was suicide or an accident exacerbated by her madness . The gravedigger scene ( Artist : Eugène Delacroix , 1839 ) Act v ( edit ) Horatio has received a letter from Hamlet , explaining that the prince escaped by negotiating with pirates who attempted to attack his England - bound ship , and the friends reunite offstage . Two gravediggers discuss Ophelia 's apparent suicide while digging her grave . Hamlet arrives with Horatio and banters with one of the gravediggers , who unearths the skull of a jester from Hamlet 's childhood , Yorick . Hamlet picks up the skull , saying `` alas , poor Yorick '' as he contemplates mortality . Ophelia 's funeral procession approaches , led by Laertes . Hamlet and Horatio initially hide , but when Hamlet realizes that Ophelia is the one being buried , he reveals himself , proclaiming his love for her . Laertes and Hamlet fight by Ophelia 's graveside , but the brawl is broken up . Back at Elsinore , Hamlet explains to Horatio that he had discovered Claudius 's letter with Rosencrantz and Guildenstern 's belongings and replaced it with a forged copy indicating that his former friends should be killed instead . A foppish courtier , Osric , interrupts the conversation to deliver the fencing challenge to Hamlet . Hamlet , despite Horatio 's pleas , accepts it . Hamlet does well at first , leading the match by two hits to none , and Gertrude raises a toast to him using the poisoned glass of wine Claudius had set aside for Hamlet . Claudius tries to stop her , but is too late : she drinks , and Laertes realizes the plot will be revealed . Laertes slashes Hamlet with his poisoned blade . In the ensuing scuffle , they switch weapons and Hamlet wounds Laertes with his own poisoned sword . Gertrude collapses and , claiming she has been poisoned , dies . In his dying moments , Laertes reconciles with Hamlet and reveals Claudius 's plan . Hamlet rushes at Claudius and kills him . As the poison takes effect , Hamlet , hearing that Fortinbras is marching through the area , names the Norwegian prince as his successor . Horatio , distraught at the thought of being the last survivor and living whilst Hamlet does not , says he will commit suicide by drinking the dregs of Gertrude 's poisoned wine , but Hamlet begs him to live on and tell his story . Hamlet dies in Horatio 's arms , proclaiming `` the rest is silence '' . Fortinbras , who was ostensibly marching towards Poland with his army , arrives at the palace , along with an English ambassador bringing news of Rosencrantz and Guildenstern 's deaths . Horatio promises to recount the full story of what happened , and Fortinbras , seeing the entire Danish royal family dead , takes the crown for himself , and orders a military funeral to honor Hamlet . Sources ( edit ) Main article : Sources of Hamlet A facsimile of Gesta Danorum by Saxo Grammaticus , which contains the legend of Amleth Hamlet - like legends are so widely found ( for example in Italy , Spain , Scandinavia , Byzantium , and Arabia ) that the core `` hero - as - fool '' theme is possibly Indo - European in origin . Several ancient written precursors to Hamlet can be identified . The first is the anonymous Scandinavian Saga of Hrolf Kraki . In this , the murdered king has two sons -- Hroar and Helgi -- who spend most of the story in disguise , under false names , rather than feigning madness , in a sequence of events that differs from Shakespeare 's . The second is the Roman legend of Brutus , recorded in two separate Latin works . Its hero , Lucius ( `` shining , light '' ) , changes his name and persona to Brutus ( `` dull , stupid '' ) , playing the role of a fool to avoid the fate of his father and brothers , and eventually slaying his family 's killer , King Tarquinius . A 17th - century Nordic scholar , Torfaeus , compared the Icelandic hero Amlodi and the Spanish hero Prince Ambales ( from the Ambales Saga ) to Shakespeare 's Hamlet . Similarities include the prince 's feigned madness , his accidental killing of the king 's counsellor in his mother 's bedroom , and the eventual slaying of his uncle . Many of the earlier legendary elements are interwoven in the 13th - century `` Life of Amleth '' ( Latin : Vita Amlethi ) by Saxo Grammaticus , part of Gesta Danorum . Written in Latin , it reflects classical Roman concepts of virtue and heroism , and was widely available in Shakespeare 's day . Significant parallels include the prince feigning madness , his mother 's hasty marriage to the usurper , the prince killing a hidden spy , and the prince substituting the execution of two retainers for his own . A reasonably faithful version of Saxo 's story was translated into French in 1570 by François de Belleforest , in his Histoires tragiques . Belleforest embellished Saxo 's text substantially , almost doubling its length , and introduced the hero 's melancholy . Title page of The Spanish Tragedy by Thomas Kyd According to one theory , Shakespeare 's main source is an earlier play -- now lost -- known today as the Ur - Hamlet . Possibly written by Thomas Kyd or even William Shakespeare , the Ur - Hamlet would have existed by 1589 , and would have incorporated a ghost . Shakespeare 's company , the Chamberlain 's Men , may have purchased that play and performed a version for some time , which Shakespeare reworked . However , since no copy of the Ur - Hamlet has survived , it is impossible to compare its language and style with the known works of any of its putative authors . Consequently , there is no direct evidence that Kyd wrote it , nor any evidence that the play was not an early version of Hamlet by Shakespeare himself . This latter idea -- placing Hamlet far earlier than the generally accepted date , with a much longer period of development -- has attracted some support . The upshot is that scholars can not assert with any confidence how much material Shakespeare took from the Ur - Hamlet ( if it even existed ) , how much from Belleforest or Saxo , and how much from other contemporary sources ( such as Kyd 's The Spanish Tragedy ) . No clear evidence exists that Shakespeare made any direct references to Saxo 's version . However , elements of Belleforest 's version which are not in Saxo 's story do appear in Shakespeare 's play . Whether Shakespeare took these from Belleforest directly or through the Ur - Hamlet remains unclear . Most scholars reject the idea that Hamlet is in any way connected with Shakespeare 's only son , Hamnet Shakespeare , who died in 1596 at age eleven . Conventional wisdom holds that Hamlet is too obviously connected to legend , and the name Hamnet was quite popular at the time . However , Stephen Greenblatt has argued that the coincidence of the names and Shakespeare 's grief for the loss of his son may lie at the heart of the tragedy . He notes that the name of Hamnet Sadler , the Stratford neighbour after whom Hamnet was named , was often written as Hamlet Sadler and that , in the loose orthography of the time , the names were virtually interchangeable . Scholars have often speculated that Hamlet 's Polonius might have been inspired by William Cecil ( Lord Burghley ) -- Lord High Treasurer and chief counsellor to Queen Elizabeth I. E.K. Chambers suggested Polonius 's advice to Laertes may have echoed Burghley 's to his son Robert Cecil . John Dover Wilson thought it almost certain that the figure of Polonius caricatured Burghley . A.L. Rowse speculated that Polonius 's tedious verbosity might have resembled Burghley 's . Lilian Winstanley thought the name Corambis ( in the First Quarto ) did suggest Cecil and Burghley . Harold Jenkins considers the idea that Polonius might be a caricature of Burghley is a conjecture , and may be based on the similar role they each played at court , and also on the fact that Burghley addressed his Ten Precepts to his son , as in the play Polonius offers `` precepts '' to Laertes , his son . Jenkins suggests that any personal satire may be found in the name `` Polonius '' , which might point to a Polish or Polonian connection . G.R. Hibbard hypothesised that differences in names ( Corambis / Polonius : Montano / Raynoldo ) between the First Quarto and other editions might reflect a desire not to offend scholars at Oxford University . Date ( edit ) John Barrymore as Hamlet ( 1922 ) `` Any dating of Hamlet must be tentative '' , cautions the New Cambridge editor , Phillip Edwards . The earliest date estimate relies on Hamlet 's frequent allusions to Shakespeare 's Julius Caesar , itself dated to mid-1599 . The latest date estimate is based on an entry , of 26 July 1602 , in the Register of the Stationers ' Company , indicating that Hamlet was `` latelie Acted by the Lo : Chamberleyne his servantes '' . In 1598 , Francis Meres published his Palladis Tamia , a survey of English literature from Chaucer to its present day , within which twelve of Shakespeare 's plays are named . Hamlet is not among them , suggesting that it had not yet been written . As Hamlet was very popular , Bernard Lott , the series editor of New Swan , believes it `` unlikely that he ( Meres ) would have overlooked ... so significant a piece '' . The phrase `` little eyases '' in the First Folio ( F1 ) may allude to the Children of the Chapel , whose popularity in London forced the Globe company into provincial touring . This became known as the War of the Theatres , and supports a 1601 dating . Katherine Duncan - Jones accepts a 1600 -- 1 attribution for the date Hamlet was written , but notes that the Lord Chamberlain 's Men , playing Hamlet in the 3000 - capacity Globe , were unlikely to be put to any disadvantage by an audience of `` barely one hundred '' for the Children of the Chapel 's equivalent play , Antonio 's Revenge ; she believes that Shakespeare , confident in the superiority of his own work , was making a playful and charitable allusion to his friend John Marston 's very similar piece . A contemporary of Shakespeare 's , Gabriel Harvey , wrote a marginal note in his copy of the 1598 edition of Chaucer 's works , which some scholars use as dating evidence . Harvey 's note says that `` the wiser sort '' enjoy Hamlet , and implies that the Earl of Essex -- executed in February 1601 for rebellion -- was still alive . Other scholars consider this inconclusive . Edwards , for example , concludes that the `` sense of time is so confused in Harvey 's note that it is really of little use in trying to date Hamlet '' . This is because the same note also refers to Spenser and Watson as if they were still alive ( `` our flourishing metricians '' ) , but also mentions `` Owen 's new epigrams '' , published in 1607 . Texts ( edit ) Title page of the 1605 printing ( Q2 ) of Hamlet Three early editions of the text have survived , making attempts to establish a single `` authentic '' text problematic and inconclusive . Each surviving edition differs from the others : First Quarto ( Q1 ) : In 1603 the booksellers Nicholas Ling and John Trundell published , and Valentine Simmes printed , the so - called `` bad '' first quarto . Q1 contains just over half of the text of the later second quarto . Second Quarto ( Q2 ) : In 1604 Nicholas Ling published , and James Roberts printed , the second quarto . Some copies are dated 1605 , which may indicate a second impression ; consequently , Q2 is often dated `` 1604 / 5 '' . Q2 is the longest early edition , although it omits about 77 lines found in F1 ( most likely to avoid offending James I 's queen , Anne of Denmark ) . First Folio ( F1 ) : In 1623 Edward Blount and William and Isaac Jaggard published the First Folio , the first edition of Shakespeare 's Complete Works . Other folios and quartos were subsequently published -- including John Smethwick 's Q3 , Q4 , and Q5 ( 1611 -- 37 ) -- but these are regarded as derivatives of the first three editions . The first page of the First Folio printing of Hamlet , 1623 Early editors of Shakespeare 's works , beginning with Nicholas Rowe ( 1709 ) and Lewis Theobald ( 1733 ) , combined material from the two earliest sources of Hamlet available at the time , Q2 and F1 . Each text contains material that the other lacks , with many minor differences in wording : scarcely 200 lines are identical in the two . Editors have combined them in an effort to create one `` inclusive '' text that reflects an imagined `` ideal '' of Shakespeare 's original . Theobald 's version became standard for a long time , and his `` full text '' approach continues to influence editorial practice to the present day . Some contemporary scholarship , however , discounts this approach , instead considering `` an authentic Hamlet an unrealisable ideal ... there are texts of this play but no text '' . The 2006 publication by Arden Shakespeare of different Hamlet texts in different volumes is perhaps evidence of this shifting focus and emphasis . Other editors have continued to argue the need for well - edited editions taking material from all versions of the play . Colin Burrow has argued that `` most of us should read a text that is made up by conflating all three versions ... it 's about as likely that Shakespeare wrote : `` To be or not to be , ay , there 's the point '' ( in Q1 ) , as that he wrote the works of Francis Bacon . I suspect most people just wo n't want to read a three - text play ... ( multi-text editions are ) a version of the play that is out of touch with the needs of a wider public . '' Traditionally , editors of Shakespeare 's plays have divided them into five acts . None of the early texts of Hamlet , however , were arranged this way , and the play 's division into acts and scenes derives from a 1676 quarto . Modern editors generally follow this traditional division , but consider it unsatisfactory ; for example , after Hamlet drags Polonius 's body out of Gertrude 's bedchamber , there is an act - break after which the action appears to continue uninterrupted . Comparison of the ' To be , or not to be ' soliloquy in the first three editions of Hamlet , showing the varying quality of the text in the Bad Quarto , the Good Quarto and the First Folio The discovery in 1823 of Q1 -- whose existence had been quite unsuspected -- caused considerable interest and excitement , raising many questions of editorial practice and interpretation . Scholars immediately identified apparent deficiencies in Q1 , which was instrumental in the development of the concept of a Shakespearean `` bad quarto '' . Yet Q1 has value : it contains stage directions ( such as Ophelia entering with a lute and her hair down ) that reveal actual stage practices in a way that Q2 and F1 do not ; it contains an entire scene ( usually labelled 4.6 ) that does not appear in either Q2 or F1 ; and it is useful for comparison with the later editions . The major deficiency of Q1 is in the language : particularly noticeable in the opening lines of the famous `` To be , or not to be '' soliloquy : `` To be , or not to be , aye there 's the point . / To die , to sleep , is that all ? Aye all : / No , to sleep , to dream , aye marry there it goes . '' However , the scene order is more coherent , without the problems of Q2 and F1 of Hamlet seeming to resolve something in one scene and enter the next drowning in indecision . New Cambridge editor Kathleen Irace has noted that `` Q1 's more linear plot design is certainly easier ( ... ) to follow ( ... ) but the simplicity of the Q1 plot arrangement eliminates the alternating plot elements that correspond to Hamlet 's shifts in mood . '' Q1 is considerably shorter than Q2 or F1 and may be a memorial reconstruction of the play as Shakespeare 's company performed it , by an actor who played a minor role ( most likely Marcellus ) . Scholars disagree whether the reconstruction was pirated or authorised . It is suggested by Irace that Q1 is an abridged version intended especially for travelling productions , thus the question of length may be considered as separate from issues of poor textual quality . Editing Q1 thus poses problems in whether or not to `` correct '' differences from Q2 and F. Irace , in her introduction to Q1 , wrote that `` I have avoided as many other alterations as possible , because the differences ... are especially intriguing ... I have recorded a selection of Q2 / F readings in the collation . '' The idea that Q1 is not riddled with error but is instead eminently fit for the stage has led to at least 28 different Q1 productions since 1881 . Other productions have used the probably superior Q2 and Folio texts , but used Q1 's running order , in particular moving the to be or not to be soliloquy earlier . Developing this , some editors such as Jonathan Bate have argued that Q2 may represent `` a ' reading ' text as opposed to a ' performance ' one '' of Hamlet , analogous to how modern films released on disc may include deleted scenes : an edition containing all of Shakespeare 's material for the play for the pleasure of readers , so not representing the play as it would have been staged . Analysis and criticism ( edit ) Main article : Critical approaches to Hamlet Critical History ( edit ) From the early 17th century , the play was famous for its ghost and vivid dramatisation of melancholy and insanity , leading to a procession of mad courtiers and ladies in Jacobean and Caroline drama . Though it remained popular with mass audiences , late 17th - century Restoration critics saw Hamlet as primitive and disapproved of its lack of unity and decorum . This view changed drastically in the 18th century , when critics regarded Hamlet as a hero -- a pure , brilliant young man thrust into unfortunate circumstances . By the mid-18th century , however , the advent of Gothic literature brought psychological and mystical readings , returning madness and the ghost to the forefront . Not until the late 18th century did critics and performers begin to view Hamlet as confusing and inconsistent . Before then , he was either mad , or not ; either a hero , or not ; with no in - betweens . These developments represented a fundamental change in literary criticism , which came to focus more on character and less on plot . By the 19th century , Romantic critics valued Hamlet for its internal , individual conflict reflecting the strong contemporary emphasis on internal struggles and inner character in general . Then too , critics started to focus on Hamlet 's delay as a character trait , rather than a plot device . This focus on character and internal struggle continued into the 20th century , when criticism branched in several directions , discussed in context and interpretation below . Dramatic structure ( edit ) Hamlet departed from contemporary dramatic convention in several ways . For example , in Shakespeare 's day , plays were usually expected to follow the advice of Aristotle in his Poetics : that a drama should focus on action , not character . In Hamlet , Shakespeare reverses this so that it is through the soliloquies , not the action , that the audience learns Hamlet 's motives and thoughts . The play is full of seeming discontinuities and irregularities of action , except in the `` bad '' quarto . At one point , as in the Gravedigger scene , Hamlet seems resolved to kill Claudius : in the next scene , however , when Claudius appears , he is suddenly tame . Scholars still debate whether these twists are mistakes or intentional additions to add to the play 's themes of confusion and duality . Hamlet also contains a recurrent Shakespearean device , a play within the play , a literary device or conceit in which one story is told during the action of another story . Length ( edit ) Hamlet is Shakespeare 's longest play . The Riverside edition constitutes 4,042 lines totaling 29,551 words , typically requiring over four hours to stage . It is rare that the play is performed without some abridgments , and only one film adaptation has used a full - text conflation : Kenneth Branagh 's 1996 version , which runs slightly more than four hours . Language ( edit ) Hamlet 's statement that his dark clothes are the outer sign of his inner grief demonstrates strong rhetorical skill ( artist : Eugène Delacroix 1834 ) . Much of Hamlet 's language is courtly : elaborate , witty discourse , as recommended by Baldassare Castiglione 's 1528 etiquette guide , The Courtier . This work specifically advises royal retainers to amuse their masters with inventive language . Osric and Polonius , especially , seem to respect this injunction . Claudius 's speech is rich with rhetorical figures -- as is Hamlet 's and , at times , Ophelia 's -- while the language of Horatio , the guards , and the gravediggers is simpler . Claudius 's high status is reinforced by using the royal first person plural ( `` we '' or `` us '' ) , and anaphora mixed with metaphor to resonate with Greek political speeches . Of all the characters , Hamlet has the greatest rhetorical skill . He uses highly developed metaphors , stichomythia , and in nine memorable words deploys both anaphora and asyndeton : `` to die : to sleep -- / To sleep , perchance to dream '' . In contrast , when occasion demands , he is precise and straightforward , as when he explains his inward emotion to his mother : `` But I have that within which passes show , / These but the trappings and the suits of woe '' . At times , he relies heavily on puns to express his true thoughts while simultaneously concealing them . His `` nunnery '' remarks to Ophelia are an example of a cruel double meaning as nunnery was Elizabethan slang for brothel . His very first words in the play are a pun ; when Claudius addresses him as `` my cousin Hamlet , and my son '' , Hamlet says as an aside : `` A little more than kin , and less than kind . '' An unusual rhetorical device , hendiadys , appears in several places in the play . Examples are found in Ophelia 's speech at the end of the nunnery scene : `` Th'expectancy and rose of the fair state '' and `` And I , of ladies most deject and wretched '' . Many scholars have found it odd that Shakespeare would , seemingly arbitrarily , use this rhetorical form throughout the play . One explanation may be that Hamlet was written later in Shakespeare 's life , when he was adept at matching rhetorical devices to characters and the plot . Linguist George T. Wright suggests that hendiadys had been used deliberately to heighten the play 's sense of duality and dislocation . Pauline Kiernan argues that Shakespeare changed English drama forever in Hamlet because he `` showed how a character 's language can often be saying several things at once , and contradictory meanings at that , to reflect fragmented thoughts and disturbed feelings '' . She gives the example of Hamlet 's advice to Ophelia , `` get thee to a nunnery '' , which is simultaneously a reference to a place of chastity and a slang term for a brothel , reflecting Hamlet 's confused feelings about female sexuality . Hamlet 's soliloquies have also captured the attention of scholars . Hamlet interrupts himself , vocalising either disgust or agreement with himself , and embellishing his own words . He has difficulty expressing himself directly and instead blunts the thrust of his thought with wordplay . It is not until late in the play , after his experience with the pirates , that Hamlet is able to articulate his feelings freely . Context and interpretation ( edit ) Religious ( edit ) John Everett Millais ' Ophelia ( 1852 ) depicts Lady Ophelia 's mysterious death by drowning . In the play , the gravediggers discuss whether Ophelia 's death was a suicide and whether she merits a Christian burial . Written at a time of religious upheaval , and in the wake of the English Reformation , the play is alternately Catholic ( or piously medieval ) and Protestant ( or consciously modern ) . The ghost describes himself as being in purgatory , and as dying without last rites . This and Ophelia 's burial ceremony , which is characteristically Catholic , make up most of the play 's Catholic connections . Some scholars have observed that revenge tragedies come from Catholic countries like Italy and Spain , where the revenge tragedies present contradictions of motives , since according to Catholic doctrine the duty to God and family precedes civil justice . Hamlet 's conundrum , then , is whether to avenge his father and kill Claudius , or to leave the vengeance to God , as his religion requires . Much of the play 's Protestant tones derive from its setting in Denmark -- both then and now a predominantly Protestant country , though it is unclear whether the fictional Denmark of the play is intended to portray this implicit fact . Dialog refers explicitly to Wittenberg , where Hamlet , Horatio , and Rosencrantz and Guildenstern attend university , implying where Martin Luther in 1517 first proposed his 95 theses and thereby initiated the Protestant Reformation . Philosophical ( edit ) Philosophical ideas in Hamlet are similar to those of the French writer Michel de Montaigne , a contemporary of Shakespeare 's ( artist : Thomas de Leu , fl. 1560 -- 1612 ) . Hamlet is often perceived as a philosophical character , expounding ideas that are now described as relativist , existentialist , and sceptical . For example , he expresses a subjectivistic idea when he says to Rosencrantz : `` there is nothing either good or bad , but thinking makes it so '' . The idea that nothing is real except in the mind of the individual finds its roots in the Greek Sophists , who argued that since nothing can be perceived except through the senses -- and since all individuals sense , and therefore perceive things differently -- there is no absolute truth , but rather only relative truth . The clearest alleged instance of existentialism is in the `` to be , or not to be '' speech , where Hamlet is thought by some to use `` being '' to allude to life and action , and `` not being '' to death and inaction . Hamlet reflects the contemporary scepticism promoted by the French Renaissance humanist Michel de Montaigne . Prior to Montaigne 's time , humanists such as Pico della Mirandola had argued that man was God 's greatest creation , made in God 's image and able to choose his own nature , but this view was subsequently challenged in Montaigne 's Essais of 1580 . Hamlet 's `` What a piece of work is a man '' seems to echo many of Montaigne 's ideas , and many scholars have discussed whether Shakespeare drew directly from Montaigne or whether both men were simply reacting similarly to the spirit of the times . Psychoanalytic ( edit ) Freud suggested that an unconscious Oedipal conflict caused Hamlet 's hesitations ( artist : Eugène Delacroix 1844 ) . In the first half of the 20th century , when psychoanalysis was at the height of its influence , its concepts were applied to Hamlet , notably by Sigmund Freud , Ernest Jones , and Jacques Lacan , and these studies influenced theatrical productions . In his The Interpretation of Dreams ( 1900 ) , Freud 's analysis starts from the premise that `` the play is built up on Hamlet 's hesitations over fulfilling the task of revenge that is assigned to him ; but its text offers no reasons or motives for these hesitations '' . After reviewing various literary theories , Freud concludes that Hamlet has an `` Oedipal desire for his mother and the subsequent guilt ( is ) preventing him from murdering the man ( Claudius ) who has done what he unconsciously wanted to do '' . Confronted with his repressed desires , Hamlet realises that `` he himself is literally no better than the sinner whom he is to punish '' . Freud suggests that Hamlet 's apparent `` distaste for sexuality '' -- articulated in his `` nunnery '' conversation with Ophelia -- accords with this interpretation . John Barrymore 's long - running 1922 performance in New York , directed by Thomas Hopkins , `` broke new ground in its Freudian approach to character '' , in keeping with the post-World War I rebellion against everything Victorian . He had a `` blunter intention '' than presenting the genteel , sweet prince of 19th - century tradition , imbuing his character with virility and lust . Beginning in 1910 , with the publication of `` The Œdipus - Complex as an Explanation of Hamlet 's Mystery : A Study in Motive '' Ernest Jones -- a psychoanalyst and Freud 's biographer -- developed Freud 's ideas into a series of essays that culminated in his book Hamlet and Oedipus ( 1949 ) . Influenced by Jones 's psychoanalytic approach , several productions have portrayed the `` closet scene '' , where Hamlet confronts his mother in her private quarters , in a sexual light . In this reading , Hamlet is disgusted by his mother 's `` incestuous '' relationship with Claudius while simultaneously fearful of killing him , as this would clear Hamlet 's path to his mother 's bed . Ophelia 's madness after her father 's death may also be read through the Freudian lens : as a reaction to the death of her hoped - for lover , her father . Ophelia is overwhelmed by having her unfulfilled love for him so abruptly terminated and drifts into the oblivion of insanity . In 1937 , Tyrone Guthrie directed Laurence Olivier in a Jones - inspired Hamlet at The Old Vic . Olivier later used some of these same ideas in his 1948 film version of the play . In the 1950s , Lacan 's structuralist theories about Hamlet were first presented in a series of seminars given in Paris and later published in `` Desire and the Interpretation of Desire in Hamlet '' . Lacan postulated that the human psyche is determined by structures of language and that the linguistic structures of Hamlet shed light on human desire . His point of departure is Freud 's Oedipal theories , and the central theme of mourning that runs through Hamlet . In Lacan 's analysis , Hamlet unconsciously assumes the role of phallus -- the cause of his inaction -- and is increasingly distanced from reality `` by mourning , fantasy , narcissism and psychosis '' , which create holes ( or lack ) in the real , imaginary , and symbolic aspects of his psyche . Lacan 's theories influenced literary criticism of Hamlet because of his alternative vision of the play and his use of semantics to explore the play 's psychological landscape . In the Bloom 's Shakespeare Through the Ages volume on Hamlet , editors Bloom and Foster express a conviction that the intentions of Shakespeare in portraying the character of Hamlet in the play exceeded the capacity of the Freudian Oedipus complex to completely encompass the extent of characteristics depicted in Hamlet throughout the tragedy : `` For once , Freud regressed in attempting to fasten the Oedipus Complex upon Hamlet : it will not stick , and merely showed that Freud did better than T.S. Eliot , who preferred Coriolanus to Hamlet , or so he said . Who can believe Eliot , when he exposes his own Hamlet Complex by declaring the play to be an aesthetic failure ? '' The book also notes James Joyce 's interpretation , stating that he `` did far better in the Library Scene of Ulysses , where Stephen marvelously credits Shakespeare , in this play , with universal fatherhood while accurately implying that Hamlet is fatherless , thus opening a pragmatic gap between Shakespeare and Hamlet . '' Joshua Rothman has written in The New Yorker that `` we tell the story wrong when we say that Freud used the idea of the Oedipus complex to understand Hamlet '' . Rothman suggests that `` it was the other way around : Hamlet helped Freud understand , and perhaps even invent , psychoanalysis '' . He concludes , `` The Oedipus complex is a misnomer . It should be called the ' Hamlet complex ' . '' In the essay `` Hamlet Made Simple '' , David P. Gontar turns the tables on the psychoanalysts by suggesting that Claudius is not a symbolic father figure but actually Prince Hamlet 's biological father . The hesitation in killing Claudius results from an unwillingness on Hamlet 's part to slay his real father . If Hamlet is the biological son of Claudius , that explains many things . Hamlet does n't become King of Denmark on the occasion of the King 's death inasmuch as it is an open secret in court that he is Claudius 's biological son , and as such he is merely a court bastard not in the line of succession . He is angry with his mother because of her long standing affair with a man Hamlet hates , and Hamlet must face the fact that he has been sired by the man he loathes . That point overturns T.S. Eliot 's complaint that the play is a failure for not furnishing an `` objective correlative '' to account for Hamlet 's rage at his mother . Gontar suggests that if the reader assumes that Hamlet is not who he seems to be , the objective correlative becomes apparent . Hamlet is suicidal in the first soliloquy not because his mother quickly remarries but because of her adulterous affair with the despised Claudius which makes Hamlet his son . Finally , the ghost 's confirmation of an alternative fatherhood for Hamlet is a fabrication that gives the prince a motive for revenge . Feminist ( edit ) Ophelia is distracted by grief . Feminist critics have explored her descent into madness ( artist : Henrietta Rae 1890 ) . In the 20th century , feminist critics opened up new approaches to Gertrude and Ophelia . New Historicist and cultural materialist critics examined the play in its historical context , attempting to piece together its original cultural environment . They focused on the gender system of early modern England , pointing to the common trinity of maid , wife , or widow , with whores outside of that stereotype . In this analysis , the essence of Hamlet is the central character 's changed perception of his mother as a whore because of her failure to remain faithful to Old Hamlet . In consequence , Hamlet loses his faith in all women , treating Ophelia as if she too were a whore and dishonest with Hamlet . Ophelia , by some critics , can be seen as honest and fair ; however , it is virtually impossible to link these two traits , since ' fairness ' is an outward trait , while ' honesty ' is an inward trait . Hamlet tries to show his mother Gertrude his father 's ghost ( artist : Nicolai A. Abildgaard , ca . 1778 ) . Carolyn Heilbrun 's 1957 essay `` The Character of Hamlet 's Mother '' defends Gertrude , arguing that the text never hints that Gertrude knew of Claudius poisoning King Hamlet . This analysis has been praised by many feminist critics , combating what is , by Heilbrun 's argument , centuries ' worth of misinterpretation . By this account , Gertrude 's worst crime is of pragmatically marrying her brother - in - law in order to avoid a power vacuum . This is borne out by the fact that King Hamlet 's ghost tells Hamlet to leave Gertrude out of Hamlet 's revenge , to leave her to heaven , an arbitrary mercy to grant to a conspirator to murder . This view has not been without objection from some critics . Ophelia has also been defended by feminist critics , most notably Elaine Showalter . Ophelia is surrounded by powerful men : her father , brother , and Hamlet . All three disappear : Laertes leaves , Hamlet abandons her , and Polonius dies . Conventional theories had argued that without these three powerful men making decisions for her , Ophelia is driven into madness . Feminist theorists argue that she goes mad with guilt because , when Hamlet kills her father , he has fulfilled her sexual desire to have Hamlet kill her father so they can be together . Showalter points out that Ophelia has become the symbol of the distraught and hysterical woman in modern culture . Influence ( edit ) See also : Literary influence of Hamlet Hamlet is one of the most quoted works in the English language , and is often included on lists of the world 's greatest literature . As such , it reverberates through the writing of later centuries . Academic Laurie Osborne identifies the direct influence of Hamlet in numerous modern narratives , and divides them into four main categories : fictional accounts of the play 's composition , simplifications of the story for young readers , stories expanding the role of one or more characters , and narratives featuring performances of the play . Actors before Hamlet by Władysław Czachórski ( 1875 ) , National Museum in Warsaw . English poet John Milton was an early admirer of Shakespeare , and took evident inspiration from his work . As John Kerrigan discusses , Milton originally considered writing his epic poem Paradise Lost ( 1667 ) as a tragedy . While Milton did not ultimately go that route , the poem still shows distinct echoes of Shakespearean revenge tragedy , and of Hamlet in particular . As scholar Christopher N. Warren argues , Paradise Lost 's Satan `` undergoes a transformation in the poem from a Hamlet - like avenger into a Claudius - like usurper , '' a plot device that supports Milton 's larger Republican internationalist project . The poem also reworks theatrical language from Hamlet , especially around the idea of `` putting on '' certain dispositions , as when Hamlet puts on `` an antic disposition , '' similarly to the Son in Paradise Lost who `` can put on / ( God 's ) terrors . '' Henry Fielding 's Tom Jones , published about 1749 , describes a visit to Hamlet by Tom Jones and Mr Partridge , with similarities to the `` play within a play '' . In contrast , Goethe 's Bildungsroman Wilhelm Meister 's Apprenticeship , written between 1776 and 1796 , not only has a production of Hamlet at its core but also creates parallels between the ghost and Wilhelm Meister 's dead father . In the early 1850s , in Pierre , Herman Melville focuses on a Hamlet - like character 's long development as a writer . Ten years later , Dickens 's Great Expectations contains many Hamlet - like plot elements : it is driven by revenge - motivated actions , contains ghost - like characters ( Abel Magwitch and Miss Havisham ) , and focuses on the hero 's guilt . Academic Alexander Welsh notes that Great Expectations is an `` autobiographical novel '' and `` anticipates psychoanalytic readings of Hamlet itself '' . About the same time , George Eliot 's The Mill on the Floss was published , introducing Maggie Tulliver `` who is explicitly compared with Hamlet '' though `` with a reputation for sanity '' . L. Frank Baum 's first published short story was `` They Played a New Hamlet '' ( 1895 ) . When Baum had been touring New York State in the title role , the actor playing the ghost fell through the floorboards , and the rural audience thought it was part of the show and demanded that the actor repeat the fall , because they thought it was funny . Baum would later recount the actual story in an article , but the short story is told from the point of view of the actor playing the ghost . In the 1920s , James Joyce managed `` a more upbeat version '' of Hamlet -- stripped of obsession and revenge -- in Ulysses , though its main parallels are with Homer 's Odyssey . In the 1990s , two novelists were explicitly influenced by Hamlet . In Angela Carter 's Wise Children , To be or not to be is reworked as a song and dance routine , and Iris Murdoch 's The Black Prince has Oedipal themes and murder intertwined with a love affair between a Hamlet - obsessed writer , Bradley Pearson , and the daughter of his rival . There is the story of the woman who read Hamlet for the first time and said , `` I do n't see why people admire that play so . It is nothing but a bunch of quotations strung together . '' -- Isaac Asimov , Asimov 's Guide to Shakespeare , pg vii , Avenal Books , 1970 Performance History ( edit ) Main articles : Hamlet in performance and Shakespeare in performance The day we see Hamlet die in the theatre , something of him dies for us . He is dethroned by the spectre of an actor , and we shall never be able to keep the usurper out of our dreams . Maurice Maeterlinck in La Jeune Belgique ( 1890 ) . Shakespeare 's day to the Interregnum ( edit ) Shakespeare almost certainly wrote the role of Hamlet for Richard Burbage . He was the chief tragedian of the Lord Chamberlain 's Men , with a capacious memory for lines and a wide emotional range . Judging by the number of reprints , Hamlet appears to have been Shakespeare 's fourth most popular play during his lifetime -- only Henry IV Part 1 , Richard III and Pericles eclipsed it . Shakespeare provides no clear indication of when his play is set ; however , as Elizabethan actors performed at the Globe in contemporary dress on minimal sets , this would not have affected the staging . Firm evidence for specific early performances of the play is scant . What is known is that the crew of the ship Red Dragon , anchored off Sierra Leone , performed Hamlet in September 1607 ; that the play toured in Germany within five years of Shakespeare 's death ; and that it was performed before James I in 1619 and Charles I in 1637 . Oxford editor George Hibbard argues that , since the contemporary literature contains many allusions and references to Hamlet ( only Falstaff is mentioned more , from Shakespeare ) , the play was surely performed with a frequency that the historical record misses . All theatres were closed down by the Puritan government during the Interregnum . Even during this time , however , playlets known as drolls were often performed illegally , including one called The Grave - Makers based on Act 5 , Scene 1 of Hamlet . Restoration and 18th century ( edit ) Title page and frontispiece for Hamlet , Prince of Denmark : A Tragedy . As it is now acted at the Theatres - Royal in Drury - Lane and Covent - Garden . London , 1776 The play was revived early in the Restoration . When the existing stock of pre-civil war plays was divided between the two newly created patent theatre companies , Hamlet was the only Shakespearean favourite that Sir William Davenant 's Duke 's Company secured . It became the first of Shakespeare 's plays to be presented with movable flats painted with generic scenery behind the proscenium arch of Lincoln 's Inn Fields Theatre . This new stage convention highlighted the frequency with which Shakespeare shifts dramatic location , encouraging the recurrent criticism of his failure to maintain unity of place . In the title role , Davenant cast Thomas Betterton , who continued to play the Dane until he was 74 . David Garrick at Drury Lane produced a version that adapted Shakespeare heavily ; he declared : `` I had sworn I would not leave the stage till I had rescued that noble play from all the rubbish of the fifth act . I have brought it forth without the grave - digger 's trick , Osrick , & the fencing match '' . The first actor known to have played Hamlet in North America is Lewis Hallam . Jr. , in the American Company 's production in Philadelphia in 1759 . David Garrick 's iconic hand gesture expresses Hamlet 's shock at the first sight of the ghost ( artist : unknown ) . John Philip Kemble made his Drury Lane debut as Hamlet in 1783 . His performance was said to be 20 minutes longer than anyone else 's , and his lengthy pauses provoked the suggestion by Richard Brinsley Sheridan that `` music should be played between the words '' . Sarah Siddons was the first actress known to play Hamlet ; many women have since played him as a breeches role , to great acclaim . In 1748 , Alexander Sumarokov wrote a Russian adaptation that focused on Prince Hamlet as the embodiment of an opposition to Claudius 's tyranny -- a treatment that would recur in Eastern European versions into the 20th century . In the years following America 's independence , Thomas Apthorpe Cooper , the young nation 's leading tragedian , performed Hamlet among other plays at the Chestnut Street Theatre in Philadelphia , and at the Park Theatre in New York . Although chided for `` acknowledging acquaintances in the audience '' and `` inadequate memorisation of his lines '' , he became a national celebrity . 19th century ( edit ) A poster , ca . 1884 , for an American production of Hamlet ( starring Thomas W. Keene ) , showing several of the key scenes From around 1810 to 1840 , the best - known Shakespearean performances in the United States were tours by leading London actors -- including George Frederick Cooke , Junius Brutus Booth , Edmund Kean , William Charles Macready , and Charles Kemble . Of these , Booth remained to make his career in the States , fathering the nation 's most notorious actor , John Wilkes Booth ( who later assassinated Abraham Lincoln ) , and its most famous Hamlet , Edwin Booth . Edwin Booth 's Hamlet at the Fifth Avenue Theatre in 1875 was described as `` ... the dark , sad , dreamy , mysterious hero of a poem. ... ( acted ) in an ideal manner , as far removed as possible from the plane of actual life '' . Booth played Hamlet for 100 nights in the 1864 / 5 season at The Winter Garden Theatre , inaugurating the era of long - run Shakespeare in America . In the United Kingdom , the actor - managers of the Victorian era ( including Kean , Samuel Phelps , Macready , and Henry Irving ) staged Shakespeare in a grand manner , with elaborate scenery and costumes . The tendency of actor - managers to emphasise the importance of their own central character did not always meet with the critics ' approval . George Bernard Shaw 's praise for Johnston Forbes - Robertson 's performance contains a sideswipe at Irving : `` The story of the play was perfectly intelligible , and quite took the attention of the audience off the principal actor at moments . What is the Lyceum coming to ? '' In London , Edmund Kean was the first Hamlet to abandon the regal finery usually associated with the role in favour of a plain costume , and he is said to have surprised his audience by playing Hamlet as serious and introspective . In stark contrast to earlier opulence , William Poel 's 1881 production of the Q1 text was an early attempt at reconstructing the Elizabethan theatre 's austerity ; his only backdrop was a set of red curtains . Sarah Bernhardt played the prince in her popular 1899 London production . In contrast to the `` effeminate '' view of the central character that usually accompanied a female casting , she described her character as `` manly and resolute , but nonetheless thoughtful ... ( he ) thinks before he acts , a trait indicative of great strength and great spiritual power '' . In France , Charles Kemble initiated an enthusiasm for Shakespeare ; and leading members of the Romantic movement such as Victor Hugo and Alexandre Dumas saw his 1827 Paris performance of Hamlet , particularly admiring the madness of Harriet Smithson 's Ophelia . In Germany , Hamlet had become so assimilated by the mid-19th century that Ferdinand Freiligrath declared that `` Germany is Hamlet '' . From the 1850s , the Parsi theatre tradition in India transformed Hamlet into folk performances , with dozens of songs added . 20th century ( edit ) Apart from some western troupes ' 19th - century visits , the first professional performance of Hamlet in Japan was Otojirō Kawakami 's 1903 Shimpa ( `` new school theatre '' ) adaptation . Tsubouchi Shōyō translated Hamlet and produced a performance in 1911 that blended Shingeki ( `` new drama '' ) and Kabuki styles . This hybrid - genre reached its peak in Tsuneari Fukuda 's 1955 Hamlet . In 1998 , Yukio Ninagawa produced an acclaimed version of Hamlet in the style of Nō theatre , which he took to London . Konstantin Stanislavski and Edward Gordon Craig -- two of the 20th century 's most influential theatre practitioners -- collaborated on the Moscow Art Theatre 's seminal production of 1911 -- 12 . While Craig favoured stylised abstraction , Stanislavski , armed with his ' system , ' explored psychological motivation . Craig conceived of the play as a symbolist monodrama , offering a dream - like vision as seen through Hamlet 's eyes alone . This was most evident in the staging of the first court scene . The most famous aspect of the production is Craig 's use of large , abstract screens that altered the size and shape of the acting area for each scene , representing the character 's state of mind spatially or visualising a dramaturgical progression . The production attracted enthusiastic and unprecedented worldwide attention for the theatre and placed it `` on the cultural map for Western Europe '' . Hamlet is often played with contemporary political overtones . Leopold Jessner 's 1926 production at the Berlin Staatstheater portrayed Claudius 's court as a parody of the corrupt and fawning court of Kaiser Wilhelm . In Poland , the number of productions of Hamlet has tended to increase at times of political unrest , since its political themes ( suspected crimes , coups , surveillance ) can be used to comment on a contemporary situation . Similarly , Czech directors have used the play at times of occupation : a 1941 Vinohrady Theatre production `` emphasised , with due caution , the helpless situation of an intellectual attempting to endure in a ruthless environment '' . In China , performances of Hamlet often have political significance : Gu Wuwei 's 1916 The Usurper of State Power , an amalgam of Hamlet and Macbeth , was an attack on Yuan Shikai 's attempt to overthrow the republic . In 1942 , Jiao Juyin directed the play in a Confucian temple in Sichuan Province , to which the government had retreated from the advancing Japanese . In the immediate aftermath of the collapse of the protests at Tiananmen Square , Lin Zhaohua staged a 1990 Hamlet in which the prince was an ordinary individual tortured by a loss of meaning . In this production , the actors playing Hamlet , Claudius and Polonius exchanged roles at crucial moments in the performance , including the moment of Claudius 's death , at which point the actor mainly associated with Hamlet fell to the ground . Mignon Nevada as Ophelia , 1910 Notable stagings in London and New York include Barrymore 's 1925 production at the Haymarket ; it influenced subsequent performances by John Gielgud and Laurence Olivier . Gielgud played the central role many times : his 1936 New York production ran for 132 performances , leading to the accolade that he was `` the finest interpreter of the role since Barrymore '' . Although `` posterity has treated Maurice Evans less kindly '' , throughout the 1930s and 1940s he was regarded by many as the leading interpreter of Shakespeare in the United States and in the 1938 / 9 season he presented Broadway 's first uncut Hamlet , running four and a half hours . Evans later performed a highly truncated version of the play that he played for South Pacific war zones during World War II which made the prince a more decisive character . The staging , known as the `` G.I. Hamlet '' , was produced on Broadway for 131 performances in 1945 / 46 . Olivier 's 1937 performance at The Old Vic was popular with audiences but not with critics , with James Agate writing in a famous review in The Sunday Times , `` Mr. Olivier does not speak poetry badly . He does not speak it at all . '' . In 1937 Tyrone Guthrie directed the play at Elsinore , Denmark with Laurence Olivier as Hamlet and Vivien Leigh as Ophelia . In 1963 , Olivier directed Peter O'Toole as Hamlet in the inaugural performance of the newly formed National Theatre ; critics found resonance between O'Toole's Hamlet and John Osborne 's hero , Jimmy Porter , from Look Back in Anger . Richard Burton received his third Tony Award nomination when he played his second Hamlet , his first under John Gielgud 's direction , in 1964 in a production that holds the record for the longest run of the play in Broadway history ( 137 performances ) . The performance was set on a bare stage , conceived to appear like a dress rehearsal , with Burton in a black v - neck sweater , and Gielgud himself tape - recorded the voice for the ghost ( which appeared as a looming shadow ) . It was immortalised both on record and on a film that played in US theatres for a week in 1964 as well as being the subject of books written by cast members William Redfield and Richard L. Sterne . Other New York portrayals of Hamlet of note include that of Ralph Fiennes 's in 1995 ( for which he won the Tony Award for Best Actor ) -- which ran , from first preview to closing night , a total of one hundred performances . About the Fiennes Hamlet Vincent Canby wrote in The New York Times that it was `` ... not one for literary sleuths and Shakespeare scholars . It respects the play , but it does n't provide any new material for arcane debates on what it all means . Instead it 's an intelligent , beautifully read ... '' Stacy Keach played the role with an all - star cast at Joseph Papp 's Delacorte Theatre in the early 70s , with Colleen Dewhurst 's Gertrude , James Earl Jones 's King , Barnard Hughes 's Polonius , Sam Waterston 's Laertes and Raúl Juliá 's Osric . Sam Waterston later played the role himself at the Delacorte for the New York Shakespeare Festival , and the show transferred to the Vivian Beaumont Theatre in 1975 ( Stephen Lang played Bernardo and other roles ) . Stephen Lang 's Hamlet for the Roundabout Theatre Company in 1992 received mixed reviews and ran for sixty - one performances . David Warner played the role with the Royal Shakespeare Theatre in 1965 . William Hurt ( at Circle Rep Off - Broadway , memorably performing `` To Be Or Not to Be '' while lying on the floor ) , Jon Voight at Rutgers , and Christopher Walken ( fiercely ) at Stratford CT have all played the role , as has Diane Venora at the Public Theatre . Off Broadway , the Riverside Shakespeare Company mounted an uncut first folio Hamlet in 1978 at Columbia University , with a playing time of under three hours . In fact , Hamlet is the most produced Shakespeare play in New York theatre history , with sixty - four recorded productions on Broadway , and an untold number Off Broadway . Ian Charleson performed Hamlet from 9 October to 13 November 1989 , in Richard Eyre 's production at the Olivier Theatre , replacing Daniel Day - Lewis , who had abandoned the production . Seriously ill from AIDS at the time , Charleson died eight weeks after his last performance . Fellow actor and friend , Sir Ian McKellen , said that Charleson played Hamlet so well it was as if he had rehearsed the role all his life ; McKellen called it `` the perfect Hamlet '' . The performance garnered other major accolades as well , some critics echoing McKellen in calling it the definitive Hamlet performance . 21st century ( edit ) Benedict Cumberbatch began playing Hamlet at the Barbican Theatre starting in August 2015 . Hamlet continues to be staged regularly , with actors such as Simon Russell Beale , Ben Whishaw , David Tennant , Angela Winkler , Samuel West , Christopher Eccleston , Maxine Peake , Rory Kinnear , Oscar Isaac , Christian Camargo and Andrew Scott , performing the lead role . In May 2009 , Hamlet opened with Jude Law in the title role at the Donmar Warehouse West End season at Wyndham 's Theatre . The production officially opened on 3 June and ran through 22 August 2009 . A further production of the play ran at Elsinore Castle in Denmark from 25 -- 30 August 2009 . The Jude Law Hamlet then moved to Broadway , and ran for 12 weeks at the Broadhurst Theatre in New York . In 2013 , American actor Paul Giamatti won critical acclaim for his performance on stage in the title role of Hamlet , performed in modern dress , at the Yale Repertory Theater , at Yale University in New Haven , Connecticut . The Globe Theatre of London initiated a project in 2014 to perform Hamlet in every country in the world in the space of two years . Titled Globe to Globe Hamlet , it began its tour on 23 April 2014 , the 450th anniversary of Shakespeare 's birth . As of 23 February 2016 , the project had performed in 170 countries . Benedict Cumberbatch played the role for a 12 - week run in a production at the Barbican Theatre , opening on 25 August 2015 . The play was produced by Sonia Friedman , and directed by Lyndsey Turner , with set design by Es Devlin . It was called the `` most in - demand theatre production of all time '' and sold out in seven hours after tickets went on sale 11 August 2014 , more than a year before the play opened . It was announced that Tom Hiddleston will play the role for a three - week run at Vanbrugh Theatre , opening September 1 , 2017 and directed by Kenneth Branagh . Film and TV performances ( edit ) Main article : Hamlet on screen The earliest screen success for Hamlet was Sarah Bernhardt 's five - minute film of the fencing scene , which was produced in 1900 . The film was an early attempt at combining sound and film , music and words were recorded on phonograph records , to be played along with the film . Silent versions were released in 1907 , 1908 , 1910 , 1913 , 1917 , and 1920 . In the 1921 film Hamlet , Danish actress Asta Nielsen played the role of Hamlet as a woman who spends her life disguised as a man . In 1942 Ernst Lubitsch directed a motion picture titled To Be or Not To Be . The story is a comedy about a troupe of Polish actors in the Nazi era . A key plot point revolves around the famous soliloquy . The story was remade in 1983 in a film starring ( and produced by ) Mel Brooks . Laurence Olivier 's 1948 moody black - and - white Hamlet won Best Picture and Best Actor Oscars , and is still , as of 2017 , the only Shakespeare film to have done so . His interpretation stressed the Oedipal overtones of the play , and cast 28 - year - old Eileen Herlie as Hamlet 's mother , opposite himself , at 41 , as Hamlet . In 1953 , actor Jack Manning performed the play in 15 - minute segments over two weeks in the short - lived late night DuMont series Monodrama Theater . New York Times TV critic Jack Gould praised Manning 's performance as Hamlet . Renowned Shakespearean actor - directors Sir John Gielgud , Sir Laurence Olivier and Sir Kenneth Branagh consider the definitive rendition of the play to be the 1964 Soviet film Gamlet ( Russian : Гамлет ) based on a translation by Boris Pasternak and directed by Grigori Kozintsev , with a score by Dmitri Shostakovich . Innokenty Smoktunovsky was cast in the role of Hamlet . John Gielgud directed Richard Burton in a Broadway production at the Lunt - Fontanne Theatre in 1964 -- 5 , the longest - running Hamlet in the U.S. to date . A live film of the production was produced using `` Electronovision '' , a method of recording a live performance with multiple video cameras and converting the image to film . Eileen Herlie repeated her role from Olivier 's film version as the Queen , and the voice of Gielgud was heard as the ghost . The Gielgud / Burton production was also recorded complete and released on LP by Columbia Masterworks . Sarah Bernhardt as Hamlet , with Yorick 's skull ( photographer : James Lafayette , c. 1885 -- 1900 ) . The first Hamlet in color was a 1969 film directed by Tony Richardson with Nicol Williamson as Hamlet and Marianne Faithfull as Ophelia . In 1990 Franco Zeffirelli , whose Shakespeare films have been described as `` sensual rather than cerebral '' , cast Mel Gibson -- then famous for the Mad Max and Lethal Weapon movies -- in the title role of his 1990 version ; Glenn Close -- then famous as the psychotic `` other woman '' in Fatal Attraction -- played Gertrude , and Paul Scofield played Hamlet 's father . In contrast to Zeffirelli , whose Hamlet was heavily cut , Kenneth Branagh adapted , directed , and starred in a 1996 version containing every word of Shakespeare 's play , combining the material from the F1 and Q2 texts . Branagh 's Hamlet runs for just over four hours . Branagh set the film with late 19th - century costuming and furnishings , a production in many ways reminiscent of a Russian novel of the time ; and Blenheim Palace , built in the early 18th century , became Elsinore Castle in the external scenes . The film is structured as an epic and makes frequent use of flashbacks to highlight elements not made explicit in the play : Hamlet 's sexual relationship with Kate Winslet 's Ophelia , for example , or his childhood affection for Yorick ( played by Ken Dodd ) . In 2000 , Michael Almereyda 's Hamlet set the story in contemporary Manhattan , with Ethan Hawke playing Hamlet as a film student . Claudius ( played by Kyle MacLachlan ) became the CEO of `` Denmark Corporation '' , having taken over the company by killing his brother . The 2002 The Simpsons episode `` Tales from the Public Domain '' features a retelling of the play . There have also been several films that transposed the general storyline of Hamlet or elements thereof to other settings . There have also been many films which included performances of scenes from Hamlet as a play - within - a-film . Stage pastiches ( edit ) There have been various `` derivative works '' of Hamlet which recast the story from the point of view of other characters , or transpose the story into a new setting or act as sequels or prequels to Hamlet . This section is limited to those written for the stage . The best - known is Tom Stoppard 's 1966 play Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead , which retells many of the events of the story from the point of view of the characters Rosencrantz and Guildenstern and gives them a backstory of their own . Several times since 1995 , the American Shakespeare Center has mounted repertories that included both Hamlet and Rosencrantz and Guildenstern , with the same actors performing the same roles in each ; in their 2001 and 2009 seasons the two plays were `` directed , designed , and rehearsed together to make the most out of the shared scenes and situations '' . W.S. Gilbert wrote a short comic play titled Rosencrantz and Guildenstern , in Hamlet 's play is presented as a tragedy written by Claudius in his youth of which he is greatly embarrassed . Through the chaos triggered by Hamlet 's staging of it , Guildenstern helps Rosencrantz vie with Hamlet to make Ophelia his bride . Lee Blessing 's Fortinbras is a comical sequel to Hamlet in which all the deceased characters come back as ghosts . The New York Times reviewed the play , saying it is `` scarcely more than an extended comedy sketch , lacking the portent and linguistic complexity of Tom Stoppard 's Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead . Fortinbras operates on a far less ambitious plane , but it is a ripping yarn and offers Keith Reddin a role in which he can commit comic mayhem '' . Caridad Svich 's 12 Ophelias ( a play with broken songs ) includes elements of the story of Hamlet but focuses on Ophelia . In Svich 's play , Ophelia is resurrected and rises from a pool of water , after her death in Hamlet . The play is a series of scenes and songs , and was first staged at public swimming pool in Brooklyn . David Davalos ' Wittenberg is a `` tragical - comical - historical '' prequel to Hamlet that depicts the Danish prince as a student at Wittenberg University ( now known as the University of Halle - Wittenberg ) , where he is torn between the conflicting teachings of his mentors John Faustus and Martin Luther . The New York Times reviewed the play , saying , `` Mr. Davalos has molded a daft campus comedy out of this unlikely convergence , '' and Nytheatre.com 's review said the playwright `` has imagined a fascinating alternate reality , and quite possibly , given the fictional Hamlet a back story that will inform the role for the future . '' Mad Boy Chronicle by Canadian playwright Michael O'Brien is a dark comedy loosely based on Hamlet , set in Viking Denmark in 999 A.D. Notes and references ( edit ) Notes ( edit ) ^ Jump up to : The gravedigger scene is in Hamlet 5.1. 1 -- 205 . Jump up ^ In his 1936 book The Problem of Hamlet : A Solution Andrew Cairncross asserted that the Hamlet referred to in 1589 was written by Shakespeare ; Peter Alexander , Eric Sams and , more recently , Harold Bloom have agreed . However Harold Jenkins , the editor of the second series Arden edition of the play , considers that there are not grounds for thinking that the Ur - Hamlet is an early work by Shakespeare , which he then rewrote . Jump up ^ Polonius was close to the Latin name for Robert Pullen , founder of Oxford University , and Reynaldo too close for safety to John Rainolds , the President of Corpus Christi College . Jump up ^ MacCary suggests 1599 or 1600 ; James Shapiro offers late 1600 or early 1601 ; Wells and Taylor suggest that the play was written in 1600 and revised later ; the New Cambridge editor settles on mid-1601 ; the New Swan Shakespeare Advanced Series editor agrees with 1601 ; Thompson and Taylor , tentatively ( `` according to whether one is the more persuaded by Jenkins or by Honigmann '' ) suggest a terminus ad quem of either Spring 1601 or sometime in 1600 .

Jump up ^ Hattaway asserts that `` Richard Burbage ... played Hieronimo and also Richard III but then was the first Hamlet , Lear , and Othello '' and Thomson argues that the identity of Hamlet as Burbage is built into the dramaturgy of several moments of the play : `` we will profoundly misjudge the position if we do not recognise that , whilst this is Hamlet talking about the groundlings , it is also Burbage talking to the groundlings '' .

Each episode is based around a series of cyclical events that occur along the way during Dora 's travels , along with obstacles that she and Boots are forced to overcome or puzzles that they have to solve ( with `` assistance '' from the viewing audience ) relating to riddles , the Spanish language , or counting . Common rituals may involve Dora 's encounters with Swiper , a bipedal , anthropomorphic masked thieving fox whose theft of the possessions of others must be prevented through fourth wall - breaking interaction with the viewer . To stop Swiper , Dora must say `` Swiper no swiping '' three times . However , on occasions where Swiper steals the belongings of other people , the viewer is presented with the challenge of helping Boots and Dora locate the stolen items . Another obstacle involves encounters with another one of the program 's antagonists ; the `` Grumpy Old Troll '' dwelling beneath a bridge that Dora and Boots must cross , who challenges them with a riddle before permitting them the past that needs to be solved with the viewer 's help . Known for the constant breaking of the fourth - wall depicted in every episode , the audience is usually presented to two primary landmarks that must be passed before Dora can reach her destination , normally being challenged with games or puzzles along the way . The episode always ends with Dora successfully reaching the locale , singing the `` We Did It ! '' song with Boots in triumph . On numerous occasions , television specials have been aired for the series in which the usual events of regular episodes are altered , threatened , or replaced . Usually said specials will present Dora with a bigger , more whimsical adventure than usual or with a magical task that must be fulfilled , or perhaps even offer a series of different adventures for Boots and Dora to travel through . They might be presented with an unusual , difficult task ( such as assisting Swiper in his attempts to be erased from Santa Claus 's Naughty List ) that normally is not featured in average episodes , or challenge Dora with a goal that must be achieved ( such as the emancipation of a trapped mermaid ) . Sometimes , the specials have involved the debut of new characters , such as the birth of Dora 's superpowered twin baby siblings and the introduction of the enchanted anthropomorphic stars that accompany Dora on many of her quests .

what kind of animal is boots from dora
[ "The series centers around Dora, a 7 (Later 8) year old American girl of Indigenous Mexican heritage, with a love of embarking on quests related to an activity that she wants to partake of or a place that she wants to go to, accompanied by her talking purple backpack and anthropomorphic monkey companion named Boots (named for his beloved pair of red boots). Each episode is based around a series of cyclical events that occur along the way during Dora's travels, along with obstacles that she and Boots are forced to overcome or puzzles that they have to solve (with \"assistance\" from the viewing audience) relating to riddles, the Spanish language, or counting. Common rituals may involve Dora's encounters with Swiper, a bipedal, anthropomorphic masked thieving fox whose theft of the possessions of others must be prevented through fourth wall-breaking interaction with the viewer. To stop Swiper, Dora must say \"Swiper no swiping\" three times. However, on occasions where Swiper steals the belongings of other people, the viewer is presented with the challenge of helping Boots and Dora locate the stolen items. Another obstacle involves encounters with another one of the program's antagonists; the \"Grumpy Old Troll\" dwelling beneath a bridge that Dora and Boots must cross, who challenges them with a riddle before permitting them the past that needs to be solved with the viewer's help. Known for the constant breaking of the fourth-wall depicted in every episode, the audience is usually presented to two primary landmarks that must be passed before Dora can reach her destination, normally being challenged with games or puzzles along the way. The episode always ends with Dora successfully reaching the locale, singing the \"We Did It!\" song with Boots in triumph." ]

NFL on Thanksgiving Day
NFL on Thanksgiving Day - wikipedia NFL on Thanksgiving Day Jump to : navigation , search This article is about the series of National Football League games . For the Canadian Football League games , see Thanksgiving Day Classic . For the black college football rivalry , see Turkey Day Classic . The NFL Thanksgiving logo used for 2016 ; the year is updated annually , with the new NFL shield being used for the first time in 2008 . The National Football League ( NFL ) on Thanksgiving Day is a traditional series of games played during the Thanksgiving holiday in the United States . It has been a regular occurrence since the league 's inception in 1920 . Currently , three NFL games are played every Thanksgiving . The first two are hosted by the Detroit Lions and the Dallas Cowboys ; a third game , with no fixed opponents , has been played annually since 2006 .

In that year , the college football teams at Yale and Princeton began an annual tradition of playing each other on Thanksgiving Day . The University of Michigan also made it a tradition to play annual Thanksgiving games , holding 19 such games from 1885 to 1905 . The Thanksgiving Day games between Michigan and the Chicago Maroons in the 1890s have been cited as `` The Beginning of Thanksgiving Day Football . '' In some areas , high - school teams play on Thanksgiving , usually to wrap - up the regular - season . By the time football had become a professional event , playing on Thanksgiving had already become an institution . Records of pro football being played on Thanksgiving date back to as early as the 1890s , with the first pro -- am team , the Allegheny Athletic Association of Pittsburgh , Pennsylvania . In 1902 , the `` National '' Football League , a Major League Baseball - backed organization based entirely in Pennsylvania and unrelated to the current NFL , attempted to settle its championship over Thanksgiving weekend ; after the game ended in a tie , eventually all three teams in the league claimed to have won the title . Members of the Ohio League , during its early years , usually placed their marquee matchups on Thanksgiving Day . For instance , in 1905 and 1906 the Latrobe Athletic Association and Canton Bulldogs , considered at the time to be two of the best teams in professional football ( along with the Massillon Tigers ) , played on Thanksgiving . A rigging scandal with the Tigers leading up to the 1906 game led to severe drops in attendance for the Bulldogs and ultimately led to their suspension of operations . During the 1910s , the Ohio League stopped holding Thanksgiving games because many of its players coached high school teams and were unavailable . This was not the case in other regional circuits : in 1919 , the New York Pro Football League featured a Thanksgiving matchup between the Buffalo Prospects and the Rochester Jeffersons . The game ended in a scoreless tie , leading to a rematch the next Sunday for the league championship . Several other NFL teams played regularly on Thanksgiving in the first eighteen years of the league , including the Chicago Bears and Chicago Cardinals ( 1922 -- 33 ; the Bears played the Lions from 1934 to 1938 while the Cardinals switched to the Green Bay Packers for 1934 and 1935 ) , Frankford Yellow Jackets , Pottsville Maroons , Buffalo All - Americans , Canton Bulldogs ( even after the team moved to Cleveland they played the 1924 Thanksgiving game in Canton ) , and the New York Giants ( 1929 -- 38 , who always played a crosstown rival ) . The first owner of the Lions , George A. Richards , started the tradition of the Thanksgiving Day game as a gimmick to get people to go to Lions football games , and to continue a tradition begun by the city 's previous NFL teams . What differentiated the Lions ' efforts from other teams that played on the holiday was that Richards owned radio station WJR , a major affiliate of the NBC Blue Network ; he was able to negotiate an agreement with NBC to carry his Thanksgiving games live across the network . During the Franksgiving controversy in 1939 and 1940 , the only two teams to play the game were the Pittsburgh Steelers and Philadelphia Eagles , as both teams were in the same state ( Pennsylvania ) . ( At the time , then - president Franklin Roosevelt wanted to move the holiday for economic reasons and many states were resistant to the move ; half the states recognized the move and the other half did not . This complicated scheduling for Thanksgiving games . Incidentally , the two teams were also exploring the possibility of a merger at the time . ) Because of the looming World War II and the resulting shorter seasons , the NFL did not schedule any Thanksgiving games in 1941 , nor did it schedule any in the subsequent years until the war ended in 1945 . When the Thanksgiving games resumed in 1945 , only the Lions ' annual home game would remain on the Thanksgiving holiday . In 1951 , the Packers began a thirteen - season run as the perpetual opponent to the Lions each year through 1963 . The All - America Football Conference and American Football League , both of which would later be absorbed into the NFL , also held Thanksgiving contests , although neither of those leagues had permanent hosts . Likewise , the AFL of 1926 also played two Thanksgiving games in its lone season of existence , while the AFL of 1936 hosted one in its first season , which featured the Cleveland Rams , a future NFL team , and the 1940 -- 41 incarnation of the American Football League played two games in 1940 on the earlier `` Franksgiving '' date . In 1966 , the Dallas Cowboys , who had been founded six years earlier , adopted the practice of hosting Thanksgiving games . It is widely rumored that the Cowboys sought a guarantee that they would regularly host Thanksgiving games as a condition of their very first one ( since games on days other than Sunday were uncommon at the time and thus high attendance was not a certainty ) . This is only partly true ; Dallas had in fact decided to host games on Thanksgiving by their own decision because there was nothing else to do or watch on that day . In 1975 and 1977 , at the behest of then - Commissioner Pete Rozelle , the St. Louis Cardinals replaced Dallas as a host team ( Dallas then hosted St. Louis in 1976 ) . Although the Cardinals , at the time known as the `` Cardiac Cards '' due to their propensity for winning very close games , were a modest success at the time , they were nowhere near as popular nationwide as the Cowboys , who were regular Super Bowl contenders during this era . This , combined with St. Louis 's consistently weak attendance , a series of ugly Cardinals losses in the three - game stretch , and opposition from the Kirkwood -- Webster Groves Turkey Day Game ( a local high school football contest ) led to Dallas resuming regular hosting duties in 1978 ; it was then , after Rozelle asked Dallas to resume hosting Thanksgiving games , that the Cowboys requested ( and received ) an agreement guaranteeing the Cowboys a spot on Thanksgiving Day forever . Notwithstanding the aforementioned St. Louis - hosted games in 1975 and 1977 , the two `` traditional '' Thanksgiving Day pro football games since the 1970 AFL -- NFL merger have then been in Detroit and Dallas . Because of TV network commitments in place through the 2013 season , to make sure that both the AFC - carrying network ( NBC from the 1970 merger to 1997 , and CBS since 1998 ) and the NFC - carrying network ( CBS from the 1970 merger to 1993 , and Fox since 1994 ) got at least one game each , one of these games was between NFC opponents , and one featured AFC - NFC opponents . Thus , the AFC could showcase only one team on Thanksgiving , and the AFC team was always the visiting team . Since 2006 , a third NFL game on Thanksgiving has been played at night . It originally aired on the NFL Network as part of its Thursday Night Football package until 2011 ; NBC began carrying the night game in 2012 . The Thanksgiving night game has no fixed opponents or conferences , enabling the league to freely choose whatever marquee match - up to feature on that night . The 2012 changes also allowed both Dallas and Detroit in the future to offer NFC games ( one would be played at night ) , and CBS can offer a game with two AFC teams . In 2014 , the NFL added the cross-flex rule , allowing CBS to televise NFC away games , and Fox to broadcast AFC away games , under select circumstances on Sunday afternoons ; however , this did not cover the Thanksgiving contests . CBS also signed a separate contract to carry Thursday Night Football from the 2014 season onward , which allowed that network to carry games from either conference on Thursdays ; from that year through 2016 , CBS carried all - NFC contests every year on Thanksgiving , and in 2014 and 2015 , no AFC teams played in any of the Thanksgiving games . The NFL 's flexible scheduling rule currently does not apply for Thanksgiving games ; however , the NFL in theory could in the future apply the rule to change start times and networks for the three games . Throwback uniforms ( edit ) Since 2001 teams playing on Thanksgiving have worn throwback uniforms on numerous occasions . In some years ( namely 2002 ) , it extended to nearly all games of the weekend , and in some cases also involved classic field logos at the respective stadiums . In 2001 -- 2004 , and again in 2008 , 2010 , and 2017 the Detroit Lions have worn throwback uniforms based on their very early years . From 2001 to 2003 , Dallas chose to represent the 1990s Cowboys dynasty by wearing the navy `` Double - Star '' jersey not seen since 1995 . In 2004 , the team wore uniforms not seen since 1963 . In 2009 , to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the AFL , both Dallas and Oakland played in a `` AFL Legacy Game . '' In 2013 , the Cowboys intended to wear their 1960s throwbacks , but chose not to do so after the NFL adopted a new policy requiring players and teams to utilize only one helmet a season to address the league 's new concussion protocol ; rather than sport an incomplete throwback look , the Cowboys instead wore their standard blue jerseys at home for the first time since 1963 . In 2015 , the Cowboys resurrected their 1994 white `` Double - Star '' jerseys only this time wore them with white pants as part of the league 's `` Color Rush '' , a trial run of specially - designed , monochromatic jerseys to be worn during Thursday games . Memorable games ( edit ) 1920 : An urban legend states that the Chicago Tigers and Decatur Staleys challenged each other to a Thanksgiving duel , in Chicago , in the league 's inaugural season , with the loser being relegated out of the league at the end of the season , purportedly explaining why the Tigers were the only NFL team to fold after the 1920 season ( no other team would fold until 1921 ) . The claims of it being a duel are unsubstantiated and no evidence exists that the Tigers were ever officially league members ; nevertheless , the Tigers , after a 27 -- 0 win over the non-league Thorn Tornadoes the next week , never played football again . The Staleys would move to Chicago during the next season , later renaming themselves the Bears . 1921 : In a matchup of two of the league 's best teams , the Staleys lose to the Buffalo All - Americans at home . The Staleys demand a rematch , with Buffalo agreeing to a December match only on the terms of it being considered an off - the - record exhibition game . That later match , which Chicago won , ended up counting despite the All - Americans ' insistence , controversially handing Chicago the championship . 1952 : The Dallas Texans are forced to move their lone remaining home game to the Rubber Bowl in Akron , Ohio as the undercard to a high school football contest . Their opponent for that game , the Chicago Bears , underestimated the then - winless Texans and sent their second string team to the game ; the Texans scored a 27 -- 23 upset over the Bears for their only win of their existence . 1962 : The Lions handed the 10 -- 0 Green Bay Packers their lone defeat of the season . 1964 -- 65 : The 1964 and 1965 AFL contests featured the Buffalo Bills and San Diego Chargers , the two teams that would eventually meet in those years ' American Football League Championship Games . 1974 : Unknown Cowboys backup quarterback Clint Longley took over for an injured Roger Staubach with the team down 16 -- 3 and rallied them to an improbable victory over Washington on two deep passes . 1976 : The Bills offense put forth one of the best and the worst performances in Thanksgiving history . O.J. Simpson set the NFL record for most rushing yards in a single game , with 273 . However , Bills backup quarterback Gary Marangi completed only 4 of 21 pass attempts , for 29 yards passing , and a rating of 19.7 . The Lions defeated the Bills 27 - 14 . 1980 : With the Lions and Bears tied 17 - 17 at the end of regulation , the game went to overtime , the first Thanksgiving game to do so ( overtime was not added to the NFL regular season until 1974 ) , and the first overtime game at the Silverdome . Bears running back Dave Williams returned the fifth - quarter opening kickoff 95 yards for a game - winning touchdown , ending the shortest overtime period in NFL history at the time . 1986 : The Lions and the Packers had the highest scoring game in Thanksgiving history . It was the best day of receiver Walter Stanley 's career ; Stanley netted 207 all - purpose yards and three touchdowns , including an 83 - yard punt return to win the game for Green Bay , 44 -- 40 . Stanley had an otherwise undistinguished career in the NFL . 1989 : Known as the `` Bounty Bowl '' , the Eagles crushed the Cowboys by a score of 27 -- 0 . Allegations surfaced that the Eagles had placed a bounty on the Cowboys kicker , thus becoming the first of a string of three bitterly contested games between the two teams , the other two being Bounty Bowl II and the Porkchop Bowl a year later . 1993 : In one of the more famous Thanksgiving Day games in recent history , the Cowboys led the Dolphins 14 -- 13 with just seconds remaining in a rare , snow - filled Texas Stadium . Miami 's Pete Stoyanovich attempted a game winning 40 - yard field goal that was blocked by the Cowboys ' Jimmie Jones . Dick Enberg of NBC proclaimed `` The Cowboys will win . '' Indeed , since the kick landed beyond the line of scrimmage , once the ball stopped moving the play would be declared dead and Dallas would gain possession . However , the ball landed and began spinning on its tip , leading Cowboys lineman Leon Lett to try to gain possession . Lett slipped , fell , and knocked the ball forward . By rule , the ball was live and the Dolphins fell on it at the two yard line . With the recovery , Stoyanovich got a second chance to win the game and hit the much shorter field goal . The Dolphins won 16 -- 14 . 1994 : Troy Aikman was injured and third - string quarterback Jason Garrett was forced to start for Dallas against the Green Bay Packers . The Cowboys won a 42 -- 31 shoot - out against Brett Favre . 1998 : In another controversial Thanksgiving Day game , the Steelers and Lions went to overtime tied 16 -- 16 . Pittsburgh 's Jerome Bettis called the coin toss in the air , but head referee Phil Luckett awarded Detroit the ball after Bettis tried to call both heads and tails at the same time . The Lions went on to kick a field goal on the first possession , winning 19 -- 16 . As a result of the fiasco , team captains are now required to call the coin toss before the coin is tossed , and a later rule change now prevents teams from automatically winning a game by scoring a field goal on the first possession . The day also saw a memorable performance by the Minnesota Vikings in a 46 -- 36 win over the Dallas Cowboys as Vikings rookie Randy Moss caught three touchdowns , all of over 50 yards . 2008 : The 10 -- 1 Titans routed the 0 -- 11 Lions by a score of 47 -- 10 , one of the most lopsided results in history on Thanksgiving . The Lions would go on to finish the season 0 -- 16 . 2011 : The trio of games was lauded as one of the better Thanksgiving Day slates of games in NFL history . The night game between Baltimore and San Francisco pitted head coaches and brothers John and Jim Harbaugh against each other -- a preview of Super Bowl XLVII . 2012 : The prime time contest became infamous for the `` Butt fumble '' , an incident in which Jets quarterback Mark Sanchez ran headfirst into the buttocks of his own offensive lineman . He subsequently fumbled the ball ; it was recovered by New England , who returned it for a touchdown . In the earlier game , one of the NFL 's most infamous rule changes came when former Lions coach Jim Schwartz challenged a play in which Texans running back Justin Forsett 's knee clearly touched the ground before sprinting for an 81 - yard touchdown . Referee Walt Coleman stated that , by rule , scoring plays are automatically reviewed and the play was not challengeable by a coach . Because of the improper attempted challenge , the review was cancelled and Coleman assessed a 15 - yard kickoff penalty for unsportsmanlike conduct . The NFL then passed a new rule that stated that if a coach attempted to challenge a play that is automatically reviewed , the review would continue . It was called the ' Jim Schwartz rule ' . Home team controversy ( edit ) It has remained a tradition for Dallas and Detroit to host the afternoon games dating back several decades . However , in recent years , other teams have expressed interest in hosting Thanksgiving games . Lamar Hunt , the former owner of the Chiefs ( who had hosted Thanksgiving games from 1967 -- 69 as an AFL team prior to the merger ) , lobbied heavily in favor of his team hosting a game on the holiday . When the NFL adopted a third , prime time game , the Chiefs were selected as the first team to host such a contest , but the team was not made a permanent host , and Hunt 's death shortly after the 2006 contest ended the lobbying on behalf of that team . The host issue came to a head in 2008 , focusing particularly on the winless Lions . Going into the game , Detroit had lost their last four Thanksgiving games , and opinions amongst the media had suggested removing Detroit and replacing them with a more attractive matchup . The team also required an extension to prevent a local television blackout . The Lions were routed by Tennessee 47 -- 10 , en route to the team 's 0 -- 16 season . NFL commissioner Roger Goodell confirmed that the Lions would stay on Thanksgiving for the 2009 season , but kept the issue open to revisit in the future . Conversely , the Dallas Cowboys , who typically represent a larger television draw , have had much fewer public calls to be replaced on Thanksgiving . One issue that has been debated is a perceived unfair advantage of playing at home on Thanksgiving . The advantage is given in the form of an extra day of practice for the home team while the road team has to travel to the game site . This is true for most Thursday games , but with the night games , the visitor can travel to the game site after practice and hold the final walk - thru the following morning . With the introduction of the prime time game , which effectively allows all teams in the league an opportunity to play on Thanksgiving , along with the introduction of year - long Thursday Night Football ensuring all teams have one Thursday game during the regular season ( thus negating any on - field advantages or disadvantages to being selected for Thanksgiving ) , the calls for Detroit and Dallas to be removed have curtailed . Game results ( edit ) ( Winning teams are denoted by boldface type ; tie games are italicized . ) 1920 -- 1940 ( edit ) All three of the generally recognized iterations of the American Football League that played during this era ( AFL I in 1926 , AFL II in 1936 and AFL III in 1940 ) played Thanksgiving games , which are also listed as indicated . Non-NFL team games between league teams and non league teams counted in the 1920 standings . The All - Tonawanda Lumberjacks later joined the league as the Tonawanda Kardex , albeit only for one game . Thanksgiving fell on the final Thursday in November until 1938 and was held on two conflicting days from 1939 to 1941 .

The two afternoon games were held at Detroit ( 12 : 30 p.m. EST ) and Dallas ( 4 : 15 p.m. EST ) , respectively . Detroit always hosts the `` early '' game because a 12 : 30 p.m. EST kick - off at Dallas would be 11 : 30 a.m. local time ( CST ) , and the NFL avoids starting games before noon locally . The two games rotate annually as intra-conference ( NFC vs. NFC ) and inter-conference ( AFC vs. NFC ) games . This is to satisfy the television contract balance between CBS ( which broadcasts games in which the visiting team is from the AFC ) and Fox ( which broadcasts games in which the visiting team is from the NFC ) . The `` early '' game kicks off at a special time of 12 : 30 p.m. EST as opposed to the typical afternoon start time of 1 p.m. This provides an additional 30 minutes to prevent overlapping of the `` late '' game , and also gave the network time for a pregame show and some additional time for an expanded halftime show ( selected years ) . When Fox carries the `` early '' game , they typically start their pregame coverage ( Fox NFL Sunday ) at 11 : 30 a.m. ( with the addition of Fox NFL Kickoff to the Fox lineup , its pregame will begin at 10 : 30 a.m. for 2015 ) . When CBS carries the `` early '' game , they start their pregame coverage ( The NFL Today ) at 12 : 00 p.m. , due to the fact that their morning parade coverage runs until noon . The network with the 4 : 15 `` late '' game begins pregame coverage at 3 : 30 p.m. EST . Dallas was replaced by the St. Louis Cardinals as a host team in 1975 and 1977 ; Dallas and St. Louis faced each other at Texas Stadium in 1976 . Because of the Missouri Turkey Day Game , the long - established Kirkwood -- Webster Groves high school football game that takes place on Thanksgiving in St. Louis , weak fan support in St. Louis , and general national preference of the Cowboys over the historically weaker Cardinals , the Cardinals ' hosting of the Thanksgiving game was not popular . Dallas returned to hosting the game in 1978 and has hosted since . Likewise , the Rams never played on Thanksgiving while in St. Louis , in part because of the Turkey Day Game and also because the Missouri State High School Activities Association has held its state football championship games on Thanksgiving weekend at The Dome at America 's Center since 1996 . Since the time NFL began its current alignment in 2002 , no team from the AFC North can play a Thanksgiving Day game against the traditional hosts . This is because under the current rotation , the Cowboys and the Lions each play AFC North teams in years that FOX is scheduled to broadcast its Thanksgiving Day game , requiring an NFC opponent . To date , the last game to feature a team currently in the AFC North was the Lions matchup against the Pittsburgh Steelers in 1998 . AFC North teams can play in the prime time game , as the Cincinnati Bengals did in 2010 .

In addition to the traditional Detroit and Dallas home afternoon games , a third game is now played in primetime and televised by NFL Network ( 2006 -- 2011 ) or NBC ( since 2012 ) . Current plans call for the various NFL teams ( other than the Lions and Cowboys ) to take turns hosting the night game on a rotation basis . In 2006 , Kansas City hosted the first prime time Thanksgiving game . The game marked a new `` Thanksgiving Tripleheader '' tradition . The Denver / Kansas City game marked the first time more than two games were played on Thanksgiving ( as well as the first all - AFC holiday matchup ) since the AFL -- NFL merger in 1970 . Rule changes in the 2012 -- 2022 television contracts permit `` cross flexing '' , whereby selected games can be switched between CBS and FOX , effectively allowing CBS to schedule an NFC vs. NFC matchup on Thanksgiving Day rather than an AFC at NFC game . The 2014 season was the first in which all three games feature NFC vs. NFC opponents under these rules ; the league again scheduled an all - NFC Thanksgiving for 2015 .

Jacksonville Jaguars None 0 0 -- Only active franchise to have never played on Thanksgiving . Notable appearance droughts ( edit ) The last currently active franchise to have never played on Thanksgiving through 2017 is the Jacksonville Jaguars , who joined the league in 1995 . An idiosyncrasy in the NFL 's current scheduling formula , which has been in effect since 2002 and revised in 2010 , effectively prevents teams from the AFC North from playing the Lions or Cowboys on Thanksgiving , as the formula has the AFC North playing in Dallas or Detroit in years when the other team is slated to play the AFC game on Thanksgiving . These teams can , under the 2014 television contracts , play only in the third ( night ) game ; should cross-flex be expanded to Thursdays or Fox win the Thursday Night contract in 2018 ( either scenario would allow both Fox and CBS to carry AFC games ) , this idiosyncrasy will be eliminated . The Los Angeles Rams have the longest active appearance drought of any team , with their last appearance coming in 1975 . Among current NFL markets , Cleveland has had the longest wait to have a team from its city play on Thanksgiving ; the Browns last appeared in 1989 , several years before being suspended in the Cleveland Browns relocation controversy , and have not appeared in the game since rejoining the league as an expansion team . Since 2010 , the league has made efforts to end the longest droughts . New Orleans , Cincinnati , Baltimore , Houston , and Carolina all played their first Thanksgiving games during this time frame . San Francisco likewise played their first Thanksgiving game since 1972 in 2011 , and the Los Angeles Chargers , who last played on the holiday in 1969 ( while the team was still an AFL franchise in San Diego ) before actually joining the league , appeared for the first time as an NFL member in 2017 .

Game MVPs ( edit ) Since 1989 , informal and sometimes lighthearted Man of the Match awards have been issued by the networks broadcasting the respective games . Running back Emmitt Smith holds the record for most Thanksgiving MVPs with five ( 1990 , 1992 , 1994 , 1996 and 2002 ) . Voting on the respective awards is typically done informally by the announcing crew themselves , and criteria are loose . Noteworthy statistical accomplishments weigh heavily , and `` group '' awards are common . The announcement of the winner ( s ) , and the presentation of the award is normally done immediately following the game , during post-game network coverage . Turkey Leg award ( CBS & Fox ) ( edit ) In 1989 , John Madden of CBS awarded the first `` Turkey Leg Award '' , for the game 's most valuable player . Pursuant to its name , it was an actual cooked turkey leg , and players typically took a celebratory bite out of the leg for the cameras during post-game interviews . Reggie White of the Eagles was the first recipient . The gesture was seen mostly as a humorous gimmick relating to Madden 's famous multi-legged turkey , cooked and delivered by local restaurant owner Joe Pat Fieseler of Harvey 's Barbecue ( located less than a mile from Texas Stadium ) . Since then , however , the award has gained subtle notoriety . Madden brought the award to FOX in 1994 , and it continued through 2001 . Because of the loose and informal nature of the award , at times it has been awarded to multiple players . On one occasion in 1994 , it was given to players of both teams . Galloping Gobbler / game ball ( Fox ) ( edit ) When John Madden left FOX after 2001 , the network introduced a new award starting in 2002 , named the `` Galloping Gobbler . '' It was represented by a small figurine of a silver turkey wearing a football helmet striking a Heisman - like pose . Much like Cleatus and Digger , the original Galloping Gobbler trophy reflected Fox 's irreverent mascots , and went through several iterations . Unimpressed by its tackiness , 2002 winner Emmitt Smith ( who holds the record for most Thanksgiving MVP awards and had won the Turkey Leg Award four previous times ) famously threw his in a trash can . In 2007 , the kitschy statuette was replaced with a bronze - colored statue of a nondescript turkey holding a football . In 2011 , the trophies were discarded altogether and replaced by an attractive plaque . Unlike the aforementioned `` Turkey Leg Award '' , the `` Galloping Gobbler '' is normally awarded to only one player annually , however in 2016 , co-winners were honored . For 2017 , the Galloping Gobbler was permanently retired , and replaced with the `` Game Ball , '' an stylish , ornate football - shaped trophy , reminiscent of the tradition where game - used balls are typically awarded to players of the game . No one at Fox seemed to notice the first ball awarded has the stripe markings of a college ball . All - Iron award ( CBS ) ( edit ) When the NFL returned to CBS in 1998 , they introduced their own award , the `` All - Iron Award '' , which is , suitably enough , a small silver iron , a reference to Phil Simms ' All - Iron team for toughness . The All - Iron winner also receives a skillet of blackberry cobbler made by Simms ' mother . Through 2006 , the trophy was only awarded to one player annually . Occasionally , it has been issued as a `` group award '' in addition to a single player award . In 2008 , Simms stated it was `` too close to call '' and named four players to the trophy ; he then gave the award to several people every year until 2013 , after which he reverted to a single MVP in 2014 . Simms was removed from the broadcast booth for the 2017 season and no player of the game was chosen that year . Prime time games ( nfln & NBC ) ( edit ) During the time when NFL Network held the broadcast rights the prime time game , from 2007 to 2011 they gave out the `` Pudding Pie Award '' for MVPs . The award was an actual pie . In 2009 , NFL Network gave Brandon Marshall a pumpkin pie rather than the chocolate pudding pie of the previous two years . NBC , which carried Thanksgiving afternoon games through 1997 , did not issue an MVP award during that time . NBC began broadcasting the Thanksgiving prime time game in 2012 , at which point the MVP award was added . The award is currently called the Sunday Night Football on Thanksgiving Night Player of the Game , and is typically awarded to multiple players on the winning team . From 2012 to 2015 , the NBC award was referred to as the `` Madden Thanksgiving Player - of - the - Game '' , honoring John Madden ( who announced NBC games from 2006 to 2008 ) . In the first few years , the award specifically went to players on both offense and defense , but in recent years , defensive players have not necessarily been recognized . The winning players are presented with ceremonial game balls and , as a gesture to Madden , a cooked turkey leg .

In 2017 no official CBS award was handed out , though Phillip Rivers ( Chargers ) was interviewed after the game during post-game coverage . Broadcasting ( edit ) DuMont was the first network to televise Thanksgiving games in 1953 ; CBS took over in 1956 , and in 1965 , the first ever color television broadcast of an NFL game was the Thanksgiving match between the Lions and the Baltimore Colts . Starting in 2012 , all three broadcast networks with NFL rights will carry one game apiece . The first two games are split between CBS and Fox . These games are rotated annually , with CBS getting the 12 : 30 p.m. ( EST ) `` early '' game , and Fox getting the 4 : 25 p.m. `` late '' game in even - numbered years , while Fox likewise gets the `` early '' game and CBS the `` late '' game in odd - numbered years . The third game , with a prime time 8 : 30 p.m. start , is carried by NBC . The NFL may involve the Flexible Scheduling rule in the future to reassign games if the night game has less importance than the Dallas or Detroit game . Westwood One holds national radio broadcast rights to all three games , with Compass Media Networks sharing rights to the Cowboys contest . ( Under league rules , only radio stations that carry at least 12 Cowboys games in a season are allowed to carry the Compass broadcast . ) The participating teams also air the games on their local flagship stations and regional radio networks . The Cowboys Thanksgiving game has regularly been the most watched NFL regular season telecast each year , with the Lions Thanksgiving game usually in the top five .

Republic Day (India)
Republic Day ( India ) - Wikipedia Republic Day ( India ) Jump to : navigation , search Republic Day The original text of the Preamble to the Constitution of India . The Constitution of India came into force on 26 January 1950 ( 1950 - 01 - 26 ) . Observed by India Type National Significance Inception of Constitution of India Celebrations Parades , distribution of sweets in schools , speeches and cultural dances Date 26 January Next time 26 January 2019 ( 2019 - 01 ) Frequency Annual Republic Day honours the date on which the Constitution of India came into effect on 26 January 1950 replacing the Government of India Act ( 1935 ) as the governing document of India . The Constitution was adopted by the Indian Constituent Assembly on 26 November 1949 , and came into effect on 26 January 1950 with a democratic government system , completing the country 's transition towards becoming an independent republic . 26 January was chosen as the Republic day because it was on this day in 1930 when Declaration of Indian Independence ( Purna Swaraj ) was proclaimed by the Indian National Congress as opposed to the Dominion status offered by British Regime . Contents ( hide ) 1 History of Republic Day 2 Celebrations 2.1 Delhi Republic Day parade 2.2 Beating Retreat 3 Gallery 4 Republic Day parade chief guest 5 Notes 6 See also 7 References History of Republic Day ( edit ) India achieved independence from British Raj on 15 August 1947 following the Indian independence movement noted for largely peaceful non-violent resistance and civil disobedience led by Mahatma Gandhi . The independence came through the Indian Independence Act 1947 ( 10 & 11 Geo 6 c 30 ) , an Act of the Parliament of the United Kingdom that partitioned British India into the two new independent Dominions of the British Commonwealth ( later Commonwealth of Nations ) . India obtained its independence on 15 August 1947 as a constitutional monarchy with George VI as head of state and the Earl Mountbatten as governor - general . The country , though , did not yet have a permanent constitution ; instead its laws were based on the modified colonial Government of India Act 1935 . On 28 August 1947 , the Drafting Committee was appointed to draft a permanent constitution , with Dr BR Ambedkar as chairman . While India 's Independence Day celebrates its freedom from British Rule , the Republic Day celebrates the coming into force of its constitution . A draft constitution was prepared by the committee and submitted to the Assembly on 4 November 1947 . The Assembly met , in sessions open to public , for 166 days , spread over a period of two years , 11 months and 18 days before adopting the Constitution . After many deliberations and some modifications , the 308 members of the Assembly signed two hand - written copies of the document ( one each in Hindi and English ) on 24 January 1950 . Two days later , it came into effect throughout the whole nation . Celebrations ( edit ) President Rajendra Prasad ( in the horse - drawn carriage ) readies to take part in the first Republic Day parade on Rajpath , New Delhi , in 1950 . The main Republic Day celebration is held in the national capital , New Delhi , at the Rajpath before the President of India . On this day , ceremonious parades take place at the Rajpath , which are performed as a tribute to India ; its unity in diversity and rich cultural heritage . Delhi Republic Day parade ( edit ) Main article : Delhi Republic Day parade Delhi Republic Day parade is held in the capital , New Delhi . Commencing from the gates of the Rashtrapati Bhavan ( the President 's residence ) , Raisina Hill on Rajpath past the India Gate , this event is the main attraction of India 's Republic Day Celebrations lasting three days . The parade showcases India 's Defence Capability , Cultural and Social Heritage . Nine to twelve different regiments of the Indian Army in addition to the Navy , and Air Force with their bands march past in all their finery and official decorations . The President of India who is the Commander - in - Chief of the Indian Armed Forces , takes the salute . Twelve contingents of various para-military forces of India and other civil forces also take part in this parade . Beating Retreat ( edit ) Main article : Beating Retreat The Beating Retreat ceremony is held after officially denoting the end of Republic Day festivities . It is conducted on the evening of 29 January , the third day after the Republic Day . It is performed by the bands of the three wings of the military , the Indian Army , Indian Navy and Indian Air Force . The venue is Raisina Hill and an adjacent square , Vijay Chowk , flanked by the North and South block of the Rashtrapati Bhavan ( President 's Palace ) towards the end of Rajpath . The Chief Guest of the function is the President of India who arrives escorted by the ( PBG ) , a cavalry unit . When the President arrives , the PBG commander asks the unit to give the National Salute , which is followed by the playing of the Indian National Anthem , Jana Gana Mana , by the Army . The Army develops the ceremony of display by the massed bands in which Military Bands , Pipe and Drum Bands , Buglers and Trumpeters from various Army Regiments besides bands from the Navy and Air Force take part which play popular tunes like Abide With Me , Mahatma Gandhi 's favourite hymn , and Saare Jahan Se Achcha at the end .

During 1950 -- 1954 , Republic Day celebrations were organised at different venues ( like Irwin Stadium , Kingsway , Red Fort and Ramlila Grounds ) . It was only starting 1955 when the parade in its present form was organised at Rajpath . The guest country is chosen after a deliberation of strategic , economic and political interests . During 1950s -- 1970s , a number of NAM and Eastern Bloc countries were hosted by India . In 1968 and 1974 , India played host to two countries on the same Republic Day .

The Legend of Korra (video game)
The Legend of Korra ( video game ) - wikipedia The Legend of Korra ( video game ) Jump to : navigation , search The Legend of Korra Developer ( s ) PlatinumGames Publisher ( s ) Activision Director ( s ) Eiro Shirahama Producer ( s ) Atsushi Kurooka Robert Conkey Designer ( s ) Isao Negishi Writer ( s ) Tim Hedrick Composer ( s ) Naofumi Harada Hitomi Kurokawa Platform ( s ) Microsoft Windows PlayStation 3 PlayStation 4 Xbox 360 Xbox One Release Microsoft Windows , PlayStation 3 , PlayStation 4 October 21 , 2014 Xbox 360 , Xbox One October 22 , 2014 Genre ( s ) Action , Beat ' em up Mode ( s ) Single - player The Legend of Korra is a 2014 third - person action beat ' em up video game developed by PlatinumGames and published by Activision , based on the animated television series The Legend of Korra . It was released in October 2014 for Microsoft Windows , PlayStation 3 , PlayStation 4 , Xbox 360 and Xbox One , and received mixed reviews . The game is one of two video games based on the same plot from the series . The other , The Legend of Korra : A New Era Begins , is a turn - based strategy game for the Nintendo 3DS . Contents ( hide ) 1 Gameplay 2 Setting and plot 3 Development 4 Reception 4.1 Pre-release 4.2 Post-release 5 References 6 External links Gameplay ( edit ) The Legend of Korra is a third - person action game , supporting single - player play only . Players control Korra , the series ' heroine , as she fights villains from the first two seasons of the series with the bending arts , a spiritual and physical practice similar in appearance to Eastern martial arts by which practitioners move and alter the elements of water , earth , fire and air . Korra can switch between four different elements on the fly , each with its own combat styles and special moves . Waterbending is acquired first and specializes in ranged attacks . Earthbending , acquired next , features slow attacks that are very powerful and can not be blocked . Firebending is a balanced style that once upgraded , features all three forms of attacks : Fast combos , slow but powerful , and ranged . Airbending , acquired late in the game , features fast and powerful attacks that can affect all surrounding targets . Korra also acquires the `` avatar state '' near the end of the game ; it lasts a shorts period , but grants Korra powerful attacks that combine all four elements . The game tries to persuade the player into using counterattacks . The player can initiate a counterattack by blocking an enemy attack just before it connects . Counterattacks are orders of magnitude more powerful than direct attacks . Counterattacking is the only way of defeating bosses in a reasonable amount of time , as defeating them with direct attacks can take hours . Electrical and earth - based attacks can not be countered . The game takes about four to six hours to play through , but contains `` a New Game+ of sorts '' . These include an endless runner with Naga , and pro-bending matches , where teams of three try to bend each other out of an arena . This mode , which implements the pro-bending rules depicted in the series , is available after completing the game , with the player controlling the `` Fire Ferrets '' team made up of Korra and her friends Mako and Bolin . Setting and plot ( edit ) The events of the game occur in the two weeks between what happened in the second and third seasons of the series , which aired in 2013 and 2014 respectively . Korra is opposed by a `` chi - blocker '' who , at the start of the game , strips Korra of her bending abilities , which she has to regain in the course of the game . The game 's main villain , Hundun , is named after a chaotic entity in Chinese mythology . An ancient , evil being previously trapped in the spirit world , he was released into the physical world by Korra 's opening of the spirit portals at the end of the second season . The game sees him sow chaos in the world and pursue his grudge against the Avatar . Development ( edit ) This screenshot from an early development version of the game shows Korra fighting opponents using waterbending . The game 's cel - shaded art style is intended to resemble the animation of the TV series The Legend of Korra , the animated drama TV series on which the game is based , aired on Nickelodeon and online from 2012 to 2014 as a sequel to the series Avatar : The Last Airbender . It received critical acclaim , and was commissioned to run for four seasons and a total of 52 episodes . The game based on the series was announced in June 2014 . It was developed by PlatinumGames , known for the Bayonetta series of action games among others , and published by Activision . The game is scripted by Tim Hedrick , a writer of the TV series , who collaborated with series creators Bryan Konietzko and Michael Dante DiMartino on the plot and main villain . The cutscenes are animated by Titmouse , Inc. , and the cover art ( chosen by public vote ) is by series character designer Christie Tseng . The game made use of the voice actors and the music of the TV series . Robert Conkey of Activision explained that they chose Platinum on account of their record of developing action games , which he described as having a `` very smooth , very flashy , and very cool '' style . Platinum producer Atsushi Kurooka said that Platinum chose to adapt The Legend of Korra , a series unknown in Japan , after watching it with the aid of translated scripts , and being impressed by the series 's blend of `` interesting action , a really good story , comedy , and romance '' . According to Kurooka , the studio aimed to make the game emulate the look and feel of the television series as closely as possible , including its visual and sound direction : Kurooka said that screenshots of the game were indistinguishable from those of the series . Reception ( edit ) Reception Aggregate score Aggregator Score Metacritic ( PC ) 64 / 100 ( PS4 ) 54 / 100 ( XONE ) 49 / 100 Review scores Publication Score CVG 2 / 10 Destructoid 7 / 10 Eurogamer 4 / 10 Game Informer 5.5 / 10 GameSpot 3 / 10 GameTrailers 6.5 / 10 IGN 4.2 / 10 PC Gamer ( US ) 63 / 100 Polygon 5 / 10 Hardcore Gamer 3 / 5 Pre-release ( edit ) Appraisals of the game during development were positive . After playing an alpha build of the game in June 2014 , Destructoid described the game as a `` pretty solid action brawler '' . The reviewer praised the thorough implementation of the various bending styles , the detailed and fluid combat system , and the cel - shaded art style . GameSpot 's reporter was `` encouraged by the art style and some aspects of the combat '' , but uncertain whether the developers would be able to balance the demands of faithfulness to a franchise and the expectations of quality combat gameplay raised by their previous titles . IGN described the early version as having `` all the depth I 'd expect to see from this developer bundled with a faithful artistic interpretation '' of the source material , noting the `` surprisingly deep '' combat system and the `` tastefully re-created animations '' from the series . Post-release ( edit ) The Legend of Korra received `` mixed or average '' reviews , according to video game review aggregator Metacritic . It was panned by Dan Stapleton of IGN as a `` poorly made tie - in that ca n't even stand up as a competent third - person action game '' . The reviewer noted the game 's simplistic combat , the absence of the series ' wit and charm , and the low - quality cutscenes . Kevin VanOrd of GameSpot was also highly critical of the game , writing that it `` tries its best to boot M. Night Shyamalan 's The Last Airbender film out of its rightful position as ' worst Avatar - related thing yet produced . ' '' Chris Carter at Destructoid summed up the game as a `` nice but brief romp '' with no real narrative that `` plays out like a ' light ' version of Platinum 's previous games '' . At Polygon , Philip Kollar described the game as a `` shallow , short experience full of segments that feel poorly designed and ill - considered '' , with frustrating mechanics and annoying mini-games . Paul Tassi of Forbes , noting the `` scathing '' reviews the game received , wrote that , like other adaptations of the series , it showed `` a fundamental misunderstanding of the source material , all but completely devoid of a plot and other characters outside Korra herself '' . For Eurogamer 's Simon Parkin , the game 's shortcomings were the `` hallmarks of a work - for - hire project rushed to meet a Christmas deadline '' , and he considered the game `` a misfire that means Platinum 's name no longer guarantees quality '' .

Glomerulus (kidney)
Glomerulus ( kidney ) - wikipedia Glomerulus ( kidney ) Bots Looped capillaries of glomerulus between the arterioles Details Precursor Metanephric blastema Identifiers Latin glomerulus renalis MeSH D007678 FMA 15624 Anatomical terminology ( edit on Wikidata ) The glomerulus ( / ɡləˈmɛr ( j ) əl əs , ɡloʊ - / ) , plural glomeruli , is a network of capillaries known as a tuft , located at the beginning of a nephron in the kidney . The tuft is structurally supported by intraglomerular mesangial cells . The blood is filtered across the capillary walls of this tuft through the glomerular filtration barrier , which yields its filtrate of water and soluble substances to a cup - like sac known as Bowman 's capsule . The filtrate then enters the renal tubule , of the nephron . The glomerulus receives its blood supply from an afferent arteriole of the renal arterial circulation . Unlike most capillary beds , the glomerular capillaries exit into efferent arterioles rather than venules . The resistance of the efferent arterioles causes sufficient hydrostatic pressure within the glomerulus to provide the force for ultrafiltration . The glomerulus and its surrounding Bowman 's capsule constitute a renal corpuscle , the basic filtration unit of the kidney . The rate at which blood is filtered through all of the glomeruli , and thus the measure of the overall renal function , is the glomerular filtration rate ( GFR ) . Contents 1 Structure 1.1 Blood supply 1.2 Lining 2 Intraglomerular mesangial cells 2.1 Intrarenal circulation 2.2 Filtrate drainage 3 Function 3.1 Filtration 3.1. 1 Permeability 3.1. 2 Starling equation 3.2 Regulation of blood pressure 4 Clinical significance 5 History 6 Additional images 7 References 8 Sources Structure ( edit ) The glomerulus is a tuft of small blood vessels called capillaries located within Bowman 's capsule within the kidney . Glomerular mesangial cells structurally support the tufts . Blood enters the capillaries of the glomerulus by a single arteriole called an afferent arteriole and leaves by an efferent arteriole . The capillaries consist of a tube lined by endothelial cells with a central lumen . The walls have a unique structure : there are pores between the cells that allow water and soluble substances to exit , and after passing through the glomerular basement membrane , and between podocyte foot processes , enter the capsule as ultrafiltrate . Blood supply ( edit ) Figure 2 : ( a ) Diagram of the juxtaglomerular apparatus : it has specialized cells working as a unit which monitor the sodiujuxtaglomerular apparatus : it has three types of specm content of the fluid in the distal convoluted tubule ( not labelled - it 's the tubule on the left ) and adjust the glomerular filtration rate and the rate of renin release . ( b ) Micrograph showing the glomerulus and surrounding structures . Lining ( edit ) Scanning electron microscope view of the inner surface of an opened ( broken ) capillary with fenestrae visible. ( 100,000 x magnification ) Capillaries of the glomerulus are lined by endothelial cells . These contain numerous pores - also called fenestrae - 50 -- 100 nm in diameter . Unlike those of other capillaries with fenestrations , these fenestrations are not spanned by diaphragms . They allow for the filtration of fluid , blood plasma solutes and protein , at the same time preventing the filtration of red blood cells , white blood cells , and platelets . The glomerulus has a glomerular basement membrane ( GBM ) consisting mainly of laminins , type IV collagen , agrin and nidogen , which are synthesized and secreted by both endothelial cells and podocytes : thus the GBM is sandwiched between the glomerular capillaries and the podocytes . The GBM is 250 -- 400 nm in thickness , which is thicker than basement membranes of other tissue . It is a barrier to blood proteins such as albumin and globulin . The part of the podocyte in contact with the GBM is called a podocyte foot process or pedicle ( Fig. 3 ) : there are gaps between the foot processes through which the filtrate flows into Bowman 's space of the capsule. . The space between adjacent podocyte foot processes is spanned by slit diaphragms consisting of a mat of proteins , including podocin and nephrin . In addition , foot processes have a negatively charged coat ( glycocalyx ) that repels negatively charged molecules such as serum albumin . Intraglomerular mesangial cells ( edit ) The space between the capillaries of a glomerulus is occupied by intraglomerular mesangial cells . They are not part of the filtration barrier but are specialized pericytes that participate in the regulation of the filtration rate by contracting or expanding : they contain actin and myosin filaments to accomplish this . Some mesangial cels are in physical contact with capillaries , others are in physical contact with podocytes . There is two - way chemical cross talk among the mesangial cells , the capillaries , and the podocytes to fine - tune the GFR . Intrarenal circulation ( edit ) ( Fig. 4 ) Diagram ( with labels ) of the circulation related to a single glomerulus , associated tubule , and collecting system . Blood exits the glomerular capillaries by an efferent arteriole instead of a venule , as is seen in the majority of capillary systems ( Fig. 4 ) . This provides tighter control over the blood flow through the glomerulus , since arterioles dilate and constrict more readily than venules , owing to their thick circular smooth muscle layer ( tunica media ) . The blood exiting the efferent arteriole enters a renal venule , which in turn enters a renal interlobular vein and then into the renal vein . Cortical nephrons near the corticomedullary junction ( 15 % of all nephrons ) are called juxtamedullary nephrons . The blood exiting the efferent arterioles of these nephrons enter the vasa recta , which are straight capillary branches that deliver blood to the renal medulla . These vasa recta run adjacent to the descending and ascending loop of Henle , and participate in the maintenance of the medullary countercurrent exchange system . Filtrate drainage ( edit ) The filtrate that has passed through the three - layered filtration unit enters Bowman 's space . From there , it flows into the renal tubule - the nephron - which follows a U-shaped path to the collecting ducts , finally exiting into a renal calyx as urine . Function ( edit ) Filtration ( edit ) Scheme of filtration barrier ( blood - urine ) in the kidney . A . The endothelial cells of the glomerulus ; 1 . pore ( fenestra ) . B. Glomerular basement membrane : 1 . lamina rara interna 2 . lamina densa 3 . lamina rara externa C. Podocytes : 1 . enzymatic and structural proteins 2 . filtration slit 3 . diaphragma The main function of the glomerulus is to filter plasma to produce glomerular filtrate , which passes down the length of the nephron tubule to form urine . The rate at which the glomerulus produces filtrate from plasma ( the glomerular filtration rate ) is much higher than in systemic capillaries because of the particular anatomical characteristics of the glomerulus . Unlike systemic capillaries , which receive blood from high - resistance arterioles and drain to low - resistance venules , glomerular capillaries are connected in both ends to high - resistance arterioles : the afferent arteriole , and the efferent arteriole . This arrangement of two arterioles in series determines the high hydrostatic pressure on glomerular capillaries , which is one of the forces that favour filtration to the Bowman 's capsule . If a substance has passed through the glomerular capillary endothelial cells , glomerular basement membrane , and podocytes , then it enters the lumen of the tubule and is known as glomerular filtrate . Otherwise , it exits the glomerulus through the efferent arteriole and continues circulation as discussed below and as shown on the picture . Permeability ( edit ) See also : Table of permselectivity for different substances The structures of the layers determine their permeability - selectivity ( permselectivity ) . The factors that influence permselectivity are the negative charge of the basement membrane and the podocytic epithelium , and the effective pore size of the glomerular wall ( 8 nm ) . As a result , large and / or negatively charged molecules will pass through far less frequently than small and / or positively charged ones . For instance , small ions such as sodium and potassium pass freely , while larger proteins , such as hemoglobin and albumin have practically no permeability at all . The oncotic pressure on glomerular capillaries is one of the forces that resist filtration . Because large and negatively charged proteins have a low permeability , they can not filtrate easily to the Bowman 's capsule . Therefore , the concentration of these proteins tends to increase as the glomerular capillaries filtrate plasma , increasing the oncotic pressure along the length of a glomerular capillary . Starling equation ( edit ) The rate of filtration from the glomerulus to the Bowman 's capsule is determined ( as in systemic capillaries ) by the Starling equation : G F R = K f ( ( P g c − P b c ) − ( π g c − π b c ) ) ( \ displaystyle \ GFR = K_ ( \ mathrm ( f ) ) ( ( P_ ( \ mathrm ( gc ) ) - P_ ( \ mathrm ( bc ) ) ) - ( \ pi _ ( \ mathrm ( gc ) ) - \ pi _ ( \ mathrm ( bc ) ) ) ) ) GFR is the glomerular filtration rate . K is the filtration coefficient -- a proportionality constant P is the glomerular capillary hydrostatic pressure P is the Bowman 's capsule hydrostatic pressure π is the glomerular capillary oncotic pressure π is the Bowman 's capsule oncotic pressure Regulation of blood pressure ( edit ) The walls of the afferent arteriole contain specialized smooth muscle cells that synthesize renin . These juxtaglomerular cells play a major role in the renin -- angiotensin system , which helps regulate blood volume and pressure . Clinical significance ( edit ) This section needs expansion . You can help by adding to it . ( April 2015 ) Damage to the glomerulus by disease can allow passage through the glomerular filtration barrier of red blood cells , white blood cells , platelets , and blood proteins such as albumin and globulin . Underlying causes for glomerular injury can be inflammatory , toxic or metabolic . These can be seen in the urine ( urinalysis ) on microscopic and chemical ( dipstick ) examination . Examples are diabetic kidney disease , glomerulonephritis , and IgA nephropathy . History ( edit ) In 1666 , Italian biologist and anatomist Marcello Malpighi first described the glomeruli and demonstrated their continuity with the renal vasculature ( 281,282 ) . About 175 years later , surgeon and anatomist William Bowman elucidated in detail the capillary architecture of the glomerulus and the continuity between its surrounding capsule and the proximal tubule .

After he bumps his blanket on a juice cup , he dries off his blanket at the laundromat . On the way home , Elmo sees Zoe feeling depressed because her father can not take her to the zoo , so he decides to make Zoe happy again by imitating zoo animals . When Zoe sees his blanket , Elmo refuses to share , resulting in a tug of war that rips Elmo 's blanket . Elmo is upset and declares that Zoe is no longer his friend . Suddenly , Telly Monster inadvertently takes away the blanket while rollerskating out of control . They go around Finders Keepers and knock over a tray of glasses that Ruthie is carrying . Telly hits Cookie Monster at the revolving door of Furry Arms hotel . The blanket accidentally lands in the hands of Oscar the Grouch , who drops it in his trash can after sneezing on it . Elmo drops into the bottom of Oscar 's trash can , where he finds the blanket snagged on a door . While attempting to retrieve it , they are both teleported to Grouchland USA , a world filled with Grouches where a manipulative and greedy man named Huxley ( Mandy Patinkin ) steals anything he can grab including Elmo 's blanket . Elmo is determined to find his blanket and begins a journey through Grouchland . A kind Grouch girl named Grizzy tells Elmo that his blanket is in Huxley 's castle at the top of the faraway Mount Pickanose , and Elmo begins a journey to get his blanket back . Meanwhile , the Sesame Street residents are informed of Elmo 's absence and go to Grouchland to find him , with help from Oscar . When Big Bird and Zoe find a Grouch Police Officer and ask him for help , the entire group ends up arrested and put in jail as the police officer informs them that it is against the law to ask for help in Grouchland . Meanwhile , Huxley 's sidekick Bug and the Pesties trap Elmo in a tunnel using a trap door . However , he gets out with the help of fireflies . Then , he meets the Queen of Trash ( Vanessa Williams ) in a garbage dump . At first she thinks that Elmo might be in league with Huxley . Elmo says he is not , but then realizes that he refused to share his blanket with Zoe and feels ashamed . The Queen gives him a test by asking him to blow 100 raspberries in 30 seconds . Elmo succeeds and continues his journey to Huxley 's castle . Elmo is later confronted by Huxley 's humongous chicken and gets tossed far away . Resting on a rock , he realizes that night has come , and becomes discouraged . Grizzy visits the jail and tells Elmo 's friends that he went to Huxley 's castle . Oscar is convinced to help set things right as well as admitting that Elmo is his friend . He then convinces the Grouch Police Officer and all the Grouches of Grouchland that even though Grouches hate cooperation , the only way they can finally stop Huxley from stealing any more of their trash once and for all , is if they swallow their pride and work together just for once . The Grouch Police Officer releases the Sesame Street residents and the Grouches aid them to go to Huxley 's castle to fight for their trash and rescue Elmo . A caterpillar wakes up Elmo the next morning on the rock . He gives Elmo advice to look inside himself and he 'll see that he has what it takes be brave . He then makes it to Huxley 's before he could make Elmo 's blanket `` his '' blanket . However , Huxley prevents Elmo from escaping by grabbing him with a claw and deciding to label them `` MINE '' . Just as Elmo is about to face the fate of never seeing his friends again , the Sesame Street and Grouchland citizens appear in time to rescue Elmo and the Pesties flee . Bug takes Elmo 's blanket from Huxley and turns against him as Elmo catapults a basket over his shoulders . Bug then gives Elmo his blanket back . Elmo is hailed a hero by the Sesame Street and Grouchland citizens and Huxley unanimously tries to change his mind about his selfishness but fails . Elmo is happy to get his blanket back , He goes with his friends back to Sesame Street and apologizes to Zoe for not sharing his blanket and hurting her feelings . He gives his blanket to her and she happily accepts for being kind by sharing with her . Elmo says goodbye to the audience when Ernie and Bert head home as the film ends , but Bert stays to look at the credits .

Epiphyseal plate
Epiphyseal plate - wikipedia Epiphyseal plate Epiphyseal plate Radiogram of distal tibia ( left ) and fibula ( right ) showing two epiphyseal plates . Light micrograph of epiphyseal plate showing the hypertrophic zone with its typical chondrocytes , matrix and three zones : maturation ( top ) , degenerative ( middle ) and provisional calcification ( bottom ) . Details Identifiers Latin lamina epiphysialis MeSH D006132 TA A02. 0.00. 020 FMA 75427 Anatomical terminology ( edit on Wikidata ) This article uses anatomical terminology ; for an overview , see Anatomical terminology . The epiphyseal plate ( or epiphysial plate , physis , or growth plate ) is a hyaline cartilage plate in the metaphysis at each end of a long bone . It is the part of a long bone where new bone growth takes place ; that is , the whole bone is alive , with maintenance remodeling throughout its existing bone tissue , but the growth plate is the place where the long bone grows longer ( adds length ) . The plate is not only found in children and adolescents ; in adults , who have stopped growing , the plate is replaced by an epiphyseal line . This replacement is known as epiphyseal closure or growth plate fusion . Complete fusion happens between ages 12 -- 16 for girls and 14 - 19 for boys . Contents 1 Structure 1.1 Development 1.2 Histology 2 Clinical significance 3 Other animals 4 See also 5 References 6 External links Structure ( edit ) Development ( edit ) Endochondral ossification is responsible for the initial bone development from cartilage in utero and infants and the longitudinal growth of long bones in the epiphyseal plate . The plate 's chondrocytes are under constant division by mitosis . These daughter cells stack facing the epiphysis while the older cells are pushed towards the diaphysis . As the older chondrocytes degenerate , osteoblasts ossify the remains to form new bone . In puberty increasing levels of estrogen , in both females and males , leads to increased apoptosis of chondrocytes in the epiphyseal plate . Depletion of chondrocytes due to apoptosis leads to less ossification and growth slows down and later stops when the entire cartilage have become replaced by bone , leaving only a thin epiphyseal scar which later disappears . Histology ( edit ) The growth plate has a very specific morphology in having a zonal arrangement as follows : Epiphyseal plate zone ( from epiphysis to diaphysis ) Description Zone of reserve Quiescent chondrocytes are found at the epiphyseal end Zone of proliferation Chondrocytes undergo rapid mitosis under influence of growth hormone Zone of maturation and hypertrophy Chondrocytes stop mitosis , and begin to hypertrophy by accumulating glycogen , lipids , and alkaline phosphatase Zone of calcification Chondrocytes undergo apoptosis . Cartilagenous matrix begins to calcify . Zone of ossification Osteoclasts and osteoblasts from the diaphyseal side break down the calcified cartilage and replace with mineralized bone tissue . A mnemonic for remembering the names of the epiphyseal plate growth zones is `` Real People Have Career Options , '' standing for : Resting zone , Proliferative zone , Hypertrophic cartilage zone , Calcified cartilage zone , Ossification zone . The growth plate is clinically relevant in that it is often the primary site for infection , metastasis , fractures and the effects of endocrine bone disorders . Masson Goldner trichrome stain of rabbit epiphysial plate . Clinical significance ( edit ) Defects in the development and continued division of epiphyseal plates can lead to growth disorders . The most common defect is achondroplasia , where there is a defect in cartilage formation . Achondroplasia is the most common cause of dwarfism . Salter -- Harris fractures are fractures involving epiphyseal plates and hence tend to interfere with growth , height or physiologic functions . Osgood - Schlatter disease results from stress on the epiphyseal plate in the tibia , leading to excess bone growth and a painful lump at the knee . Other animals ( edit ) John Hunter studied growing chickens . He observed bones grew at the ends and thus demonstrated the existence of the epiphyseal plates . Hunter is considered the `` father of the growth plate '' .

where is longitudinal growth occurring in long bones
[ "Endochondral ossification is responsible for the initial bone development from cartilage in utero and infants and the longitudinal growth of long bones in the epiphyseal plate. The plate's chondrocytes are under constant division by mitosis. These daughter cells stack facing the epiphysis while the older cells are pushed towards the diaphysis.

After denial from government personnel they band together to deal with the intergalactic hunter . Assisting them will be scientists and a young autistic boy who is a language savant . Cast ( edit ) Boyd Holbrook as Quinn McKenna , Emma 's ex-husband and the father of Rory and a former Marine and Special Forces commando who discovers the existence of the fierce Predators but finds that no one believes they exist . James Franco was originally offered the role but passed on it before Benicio del Toro was cast , who later had to back out due to scheduling conflicts .

Davis has said of the film that he thinks it is fresh and reimagines the franchise in a `` different , interesting way '' . In February 2016 , Black confirmed the title of the new sequel would be The Predator . Shane Black has referred to the project as an event film which aims to elevate the Predator series : `` It 's an attempt to ' event - ise ' the Predator again ... ( An attempt to ) make it more mysterious . '' Black also expressed that the film would mark a return to the `` intimate '' scale of the original film and that the film - makers hoped to achieve `` the same sense of wonderment and newness that Close Encounters had when that came out . '' Shane Black has confirmed that the film is set in the present day and the titular character will have an upgraded set of armor . Black has also indicated that the film would be a sequel set in present - day 2018 , following the events of Predator and Predator 2 , but set prior to the events of the 2010 film Predators . He also mentioned that he looked for plot details set up in the previous Predator movies that he could retrospectively link back to with the new film . To that end , Jake Busey was cast as the son of Peter Keyes , a character who was portrayed by Busey 's father Gary Busey in Predator 2 . In February 2016 , the studio revealed a teaser image of the film , confirming the title The Predator . Martin Whist served as the film 's production designer , while effects house Amalgamated Dynamics provided the creature effects for The Predator , having done so previously for the first two Alien vs. Predator films . In an interview with Variety on September , Stacey Snider , the current chief - executive - officer of 20th Century Fox , talked a little about The Predator and her thoughts on Shane Black and Fred Dekker 's script : We 've got a `` Predator '' film coming out that is unexpected and utterly fresh . I just imagined that it would take 500 hours to read the script -- that it would be interior jungle , exterior more jungle and then fighting happens , but Emma ( Watts ) went out and recruited Shane Black . From the first page , it did n't read like a `` Predator '' film . It 's set in suburbia . There 's a little boy and his dad at the center of the action . Casting ( edit ) Arnold Schwarzenegger discussed with Black about returning to the film as his character after the first Predator film . Rapper 50 Cent also spoke of the possibility of being involved in the film but ended up dropping out . By September 2016 , Benicio del Toro had signed on to star in the film . However , in the following month , Boyd Holbrook replaced del Toro , who departed due to scheduling issues . In November 2016 , Olivia Munn joined the cast . In January 2017 , Trevante Rhodes , Keegan - Michael Key , Sterling K. Brown , Thomas Jane and Jacob Tremblay joined the cast . In February , Alfie Allen and Yvonne Strahovski were added to the cast . In March , the last main role was filled by Augusto Aguilera while Jake Busey was also cast in a supporting role . Filming ( edit ) Filming was scheduled to begin in February 2017 in Vancouver , British Columbia . On November 21 , 2016 , Larry Fong was confirmed to be hired as cinematographer for the film . Black announced on his Twitter that filming began on February 20 , 2017 . Filming wrapped on June 2 , 2017 . Additional photography in Vancouver took place in March 2018 . Keegan - Michael Key stated that the film 's third act was mostly rewritten and reshot during additional photography . Music ( edit ) Henry Jackman is set to provide the music score for the film . Release ( edit ) The Predator was originally slated by 20th Century Fox for a March 2 , 2018 release date , before the date was pushed forward to February 9 , 2018 .
