( August 2010 ) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message ) `` Drunken Sailor '' is a sea shanty , also known as `` What Shall We Do with a / the Drunken Sailor ? '' The shanty was sung to accompany certain work tasks aboard sailing ships , especially those that required a bright walking pace . It is believed to originate in the early 19th century or before , during a period when ships ' crews , especially those of military vessels , were large enough to permit hauling a rope whilst simply marching along the deck . With the advent of merchant packet and clipper ships and their smaller crews , which required different working methods , use of the shanty appears to have declined or shifted to other , minor tasks . `` Drunken Sailor '' was revived as a popular song among non-sailors in the 20th century , and grew to become one of the best - known songs of the shanty repertoire among mainstream audiences . It has been performed and recorded by many musical artists and appeared in many popular media . Although the song 's lyrics vary , they usually contain some variant of the question , `` What shall we do with a drunken sailor , early in the morning ? '' In some styles of performance , each successive verse suggests a method of sobering or punishing the drunken sailor . In other styles , further questions are asked and answered about different people . The song is No. 322 in the Roud Folk Song Index .

Terry 's The Shanty Book , Part One ( 1921 ) . Play ( help info ) The air of the song , in the Dorian mode and in duple march rhythm , has been compared to the style of a bagpipe melody . The authorship and origin of `` Drunken Sailor '' are unknown . However , the melody does sound quite similar to the chorus of the traditional Irish ballad `` Óró sé do bheatha abhaile '' , and a possible adaptation may be suspected . History ( edit ) As a shanty ( edit ) The first published description of the shanty is found in an account of an 1839 whaling voyage out of New London , Connecticut to the Pacific Ocean . It was used as an example of a song that was , `` performed with very good effect when there is a long line of men hauling together '' . The tune was noted , along with these lyrics : Way ! Hey ! and up she rises Way ! Hey ! and up she rises Way ! Hey ! and up she rises , Early in the morning . Although this is the earliest discovered published mention , there is some indication that the shanty is at least as old as the 1820s . In Eckstorm and Smyth 's collection Minstrelsy of Maine ( published 1927 ) , the editors note that one of their grandmothers , who sang the song , claimed to have heard it used during the task of tacking on the Penobscot River `` probably considerably over a hundred years ago '' . Despite these indications of the song 's existence in the first half of the 19th century , references to it are rare . They include a reference in a work of fiction from 1855 in which a drunken female cook is portrayed singing , Hee roar , up she rouses , What shall we do with the drunken sailor ? A five - verse set of lyrics and tune were published in the third edition of Davis and Tozer 's shanty collection , Sailor Songs or ' Chanties ' . However , the title did not appear in any of the other major shanty collections or articles of the 19th century . When John Masefield next published the lyrics in 1906 , he called it a `` bastard variety '' of shanty which was `` seldom used '' -- an assertion supported by the lack of many earlier references . This style of shanty , called a `` runaway chorus '' by Masefield , and as a `` walk away '' or `` stamp and go '' shanty by others ( see : Sea shanty : Types ) , was said to be used for tacking and which was sung in `` quick time '' . The verses in Masefield 's version asked what to do with a `` drunken sailor '' , followed by a response , then followed by a question about a `` drunken soldier '' , with an appropriate response . Capt . W.B. Whall , a veteran English sailor of the 1860s -- 70s , was the next author to publish on `` Drunken Sailor '' . He claimed that this was one of only two shanties that was sung in the British Royal Navy ( where singing at work was generally frowned upon ) . Moreover , the song had largely gone out of use as a `` walk away '' shanty when the size of ships ' crews was reduced and it was no longer possible to use that working method . The lyrics given by Whall are essentially the same as those from Masefield : about a `` drunken sailor '' , then a `` drunken soldier '' . Significantly , he stated that these were the only lyrics , as evidently the task did not take long to complete . Chorus : Hoorah ! And up she rises ( three times , appears before each verse ) Early in the morning . What shall we do with a drunken sailor ? ( three times ) Early in the morning . Put him in the long - boat and make him bail her . Early in the morning . What shall we do with a drunken soldier ? Early in the morning . Put him in the guardroom till he gets sober . Early in the morning . The above - mentioned and other veteran sailors characterized `` Drunken Sailor '' as a `` walk away '' shanty , thus providing a possible explanation for why it was not noted more often in the second half of the 19th century . Later sailors ' recollections , however , attested that the song continued to be used as a shanty , but for other purposes . Richard Maitland , an American sailor of the 1870s , sang it for song collector Alan Lomax in 1939 , when he explained , Now this is a song that 's usually sang when men are walking away with the slack of a rope , generally when the iron ships are scrubbing their bottom . After an iron ship has been twelve months at sea , there 's a quite a lot of barnacles and grass grows onto her bottom . And generally , in the calm latitudes , up in the horse latitudes in the North Atlantic Ocean , usually they rig up a purchase for to scrub the bottom . Another American sailor of the 1870s , Frederick Pease Harlow , wrote in his shanty collection that `` Drunken Sailor '' could be used when hauling a halyard in `` hand over hand '' fashion to hoist the lighter sails . This would be in contradistinction to the much more typical `` halyards shanties '' , which were for heavier work with an entirely different sort of pacing and formal structure . Another author to ascribe a function , Richard Runciman Terry , also said it could be used for `` hand over hand '' hauling . Terry was one of few writers , however , to also state the shanty was used for heaving the windlass or capstan . As a popular song ( edit ) `` Drunken Sailor '' began its life as a popular song on land at least as early as the 1900s , by which time it had been adopted as repertoire for glee singing at Eton College . Elsewhere in England , by the 1910s , men had begun to sing it regularly at gatherings of the Savage Club of London . `` Drunken Sailor Medley '' by John Baltzell The song became popular on land in America as well . A catalogue of `` folk - songs '' from the Midwest included it in 1915 , where it was said to be sung while dancing `` a sort of reel '' . More evidence of lands - folk 's increasing familiarity with `` Drunken Sailor '' comes in the recording of a `` Drunken Sailor Medley '' ( ca. 1923 ) by U.S. Old Time fiddler John Baltzell . Evidently the tune 's shared affinities with Anglo - Irish - American dance tunes helped it to become readapted as such , as Baltzell included it among a set of reels . Classical composers utilized the song in compositions . Australian composer Percy Grainger incorporated the song into his piece `` Scotch Strathspey And Reel '' ( 1924 ) . Malcolm Arnold used its melody in his Three Shanties for Woodwind Quintet , Op. 4 ( 1943 ) . The glut of writings on sailors ' songs and published collections that came starting in the 1920s and which supported a revival of interest in shanty - singing for entertainment purposes on land . As such , R.R. Terry 's very popular shanty collection , which had begun to serve as a resource for renditions of shanties on commercial recordings in the 1920s , was evidently used by the Robert Shaw Chorale for their 1961 rendition . The Norman Luboff Choir recorded the song in 1959 with the yet uncharacteristic phrasing , `` What 'll we do ... ? '' Notable recordings and performances ( edit ) The song has been widely recorded under a number of titles by a range of performers including the King 's Singers , Pete Seeger , The Blaggards , and most notably The Irish Rovers . It also forms part of a contrapuntal section in the BBC Radio 4 UK Theme by Fritz Spiegl , in which it is played alongside Greensleeves . For over 50 years The Irish Rovers have played the song as their usual show - closer . Several of their recordings of the song , sometimes under the name `` Weigh Hey and up She Rises '' have gone viral on YouTube . As a response , the band released the 2012 album , `` Drunken Sailor '' including the title track and a prequel that tells the earlier life of the ' Drunken Sailor ' , called `` Whores and Hounds '' . Don Janse produced an arrangement in the early 1960s which has been included in several choral music anthologies . The arrangement was first recorded by The Idlers , and has been performed by several collegiate groups over the years , including the Yale Alley Cats . This song has been recorded by Sam Spence under the name `` Up She Rises '' , and is frequently used as background music for NFL Films . The Belgian skiffle - singer Ferre Grignard covered the song in 1966 . In 1969 , Michael Dunn performed the song in an episode of The Wild Wild West entitled `` The Night of Miguelito 's Revenge '' . The Two Ronnies featured the song in one of their comedy sketches , in which the opening chorus was modified as `` Hoorah ! And up she rises , She 's got legs of different sizes , One 's very small and the other wins prizes , Early in the morning . '' Freddie McKay recorded a version of the song in 1972 at Studio 1 for producer Coxsone Dodd that was released on the Money Disc label . He later recorded the song for producer Jah Woosh in 1983 which was released on the Mr. Tipsy label . In the Cheers episode `` Woody For Hire Meets Norman of The Apes '' , a group of women in a book club come to the bar , get drunk and rowdy in the pool room and they sing the song . A different version of this song titled `` Drunken Whaler '' accompanied the E3 trailer for the video game Dishonored , featuring darker lyrics and a much slower tempo . Within the game the song is also frequently whistled by NPCs , the lyrics can be found in a book during the first level , and the song is played during the finale . In Muppet Treasure Island , Long John Silver ( as played by Tim Curry ) can be heard singing the song as Jim Hawkins , Gonzo , and Rizzo enter the galley . In The Truman Show , Truman Burbank sings the song in the sea storm scene , trying to hold on himself to the boat and his sailing . It is a part of the SpongeBob SquarePants soundtrack , serving as a theme for Mr. Krabs In John Finnemore 's Souvenir Programme , a sketch uses lyrics from the song as suggestions for punishments of a drunken naval officer . A version of the song is sung by the crew in Assassin 's Creed IV : Black Flag , while the player captains the protagonist 's ship , the Jackdaw . A similar version of shanty from Black Flag is also sung by the crew in Assassin 's Creed : Rogue , while the player captains the protagonist 's ship , the Morrigan . The song was covered on the popular children 's television program The Backyardigans as `` Scurvy Pirate '' , with lyrics such as `` What do you do with a scurvy pirate ? Raid their ship and then hot - wire it . '' The song was sung by Rainn Wilson on the American sitcom The Office in episode 11 of season 2 , `` Booze Cruise '' , when character Dwight Schrute is tricked into thinking he is steering a small lakeboat that hosts the company 's motivational speech . The song was sung by Chief Crocker and crew in the season 1 episode `` Bad Water '' on the NBC series seaQuest DSV . An arrangement of the song , `` We Shall Sail Together '' , was made by Robin Beanland featuring vocals by Anna Hon for the Cinematic Trailer of Sea of Thieves . A version of the song plays at the beginning of the trailer for Pirates of the Caribbean : Dead Men Tell No Tales with the words `` Drunken Sailor '' replaced with `` Cursed Pirate '' . Pere Ubu 's song `` Caligari 's Mirror '' is a post-punk reworking of `` Drunken Sailor . '' Song text ( edit ) Refrain : Weigh heigh and up she rises ( / Hoo - ray and up she rises ) Weigh heigh and up she rises ( / Patent blocks of different sizes ) Weigh heigh and up she rises Early in the morning Traditional verses : What shall we do with a drunken sailor , What shall we do with a drunken sailor , What shall we do with a drunken sailor , Early in the morning ?

( Or `` make him captain of '' ) A common parody reference to the 1989 Exxon Valdez oil spill . Book him a room at the Tailhook Convention . References the 1991 Tailhook scandal . Pronunciation of `` early '' The word `` early '' is often pronounced as / ˈɜːrlaɪ / ( `` earl - aye '' ) in modern performances . Publications in the 19th and early 20th century , however , did not note this was the case . Neither the field recordings of Richard Maitland by Alan Lomax ( 1939 ) nor those of several veteran sailors in Britain by James Madison Carpenter in the 1920s use this pronunciation . However , opera singer Leonard Warren recorded the song in July 1947 and pronounced `` earl - eye '' . Later , on his popular recording of 1956 , Burl Ives also pronounced `` earl - eye '' . Subsequently , Stan Hugill , whose influential Shanties from the Seven Seas was published in 1961 , stated in that work that the word was `` always '' pronounced `` earl - aye '' .

The inaugural tournament was held at the end of the 2014 NCAA Division I FBS football season . Four teams play in two semifinal games , and the winner of each semifinal advances to the College Football Playoff National Championship . The College Football Playoff is not an officially sanctioned championship event by the NCAA , the sport 's governing body . The NCAA has never recognized an `` official '' national championship for FBS football , instead merely recognizing the decisions made any of a number of independent major championship selectors . Consequently , Division I FBS football is the only NCAA sport in which a yearly national champion is not determined by an NCAA event , nor is an official NCAA national championship awarded . Nevertheless , the CFP 's inauguration in 2014 marked the first time a major championship selector was able to determine their champion by using a bracket competition . From 2014 until present , a 13 - member committee has been selecting and seeding the four teams to take part . This system differs from the use of polls or computer rankings that had previously been used to select the participants for the Bowl Championship Series ( BCS ) , the title system used in FBS from 1998 to 2013 . The new format is a Plus - One system , an idea which became popular as an alternative to the BCS after the 2003 and 2004 seasons ended in controversy . The two semifinal games rotate among six major bowl games , referred to as the New Year 's Six : the Rose Bowl , Sugar Bowl , Orange Bowl , Cotton Bowl , Fiesta Bowl , and Peach Bowl . In addition to the four teams selected for the playoff , the final CFP rankings are used to help determine the participants for the other four New Year 's Six bowls that are not hosting the semifinals that year . The New Year 's Six represent six of the ten oldest bowl games currently played at the FBS level . The semifinals are scheduled usually on Friday , Saturday , or Monday close to , or on , New Years Day , with some flexibility to ensure that bowl games traditionally held on New Year 's Day are not in conflict with the semi-final games . The CFP National Championship is then played on the first Monday that is six or more days after the semifinals . The venue of the championship game is selected based on bids submitted by cities , similar to the Super Bowl or NCAA Final Four . The winner of the game is awarded the College Football Playoff National Championship Trophy . Playoff officials commissioned a new trophy that was unconnected with the previous championship systems ( such as the AFCA `` crystal football '' trophy which had been regularly presented after the championship game since the 1990s ) .

The committee members include one current athletic director from each of the five `` major '' conferences -- ACC , Big Ten , Big 12 , Pac - 12 , and SEC -- also known as the Power Five conferences . Other members are former coaches , players , athletic directors , and administrators , plus a retired member of the media . The goal was for the panel to consist proportionally of current `` Power Five '' athletic directors , former coaches , and a third group of other voters , excluding current conference commissioners , coaches , and media members . During the selection process , organizers said they wanted the committee to be geographically balanced . Conference commissioners submitted lists totaling more than 100 names from which to select the final committee members .

Voting Procedure ( edit ) The committee releases its top 25 rankings weekly on Tuesdays in the second half of the regular season . The top four teams are seeded in that order for the playoff . During the season , the committee meets and releases rankings six or seven times , depending on the length of the season ( the number of games is consistent , but the number of weeks those games are played over can vary from year to year ) . The group , which meets at the Gaylord Texan hotel in Grapevine , Texas , reportedly meets in person up to 10 total times a year . A team 's strength of schedule is one of the most pertinent considerations for the committee in making its selections . Other factors that the committee weighs are conference championships , team records , and head - to - head results , plus other points such as injuries and weather . Unlike the BCS system , the AP Poll , Coaches ' Poll , and the Harris Poll , computer rankings are not used to make the selections . Advanced statistics and metrics are expected to be submitted to the committee , though like other analytics , they have no formal role in the decision . Committee members are not required to attend games . Long said the panel considered less frequent rankings , but ultimately decided on a weekly release . `` That 's what the fans have become accustomed to , and we felt it would leave a void in college football without a ranking for several weeks , '' he said . Long also noted : `` Early on there was some talk that we would go into a room at the end of the season and come out with a top four , but that did n't last long . '' In analyzing this change in thinking , Stewart Mandel of Sports Illustrated commented : `` The whole point of the selection committee was to replace the simplistic horse - race nature of Top 25 polls -- where teams only move up if someone above them loses -- with a more deliberative evaluation method . Now the playoff folks are going to try to do both . '' Addressing the `` pecking order '' nature of traditional polls , George Schrodeder of USA Today wrote that `` if it actually works as intended , we could see volatile swings '' from week to week , with lower - ranked teams moving ahead of higher - ranked teams without either team losing ( a rarity in traditional polls ) . Both Long and Bill Hancock , the CFP executive director , say they expect that to happen . The committee 's voting method uses multiple ballots , similar to the NCAA basketball tournament selection process and the entire process is facilitated through custom software developed by Code Authority in Frisco , Texas . From a large initial pool of teams , the group takes numerous votes on successive tiers of teams , considering six at a time and coming to a consensus on how they should be ranked , then repeating the process with the next tier of teams . Discussion and debate happens at each voting step . All votes are by secret ballot , and committee members do not make their ballots public . Each week 's ranking process begins anew , with no weight given to the previous week 's selections . In this fashion , the committee selects the four teams to compete for the national championship . Committee members who are currently employed or financially compensated by a school , or have family members who have a current financial relationship ( which includes football players ) , are not allowed to vote for that school . During deliberations about a team 's selection , members with such a conflict of interest can not be present , but can answer factual questions about the institution . All committee members have past ties to certain NCAA institutions , but the committee decided to ignore those ties in the recusal requirements . `` We just boiled it down to where we felt this group was fit to its high integrity and would differentiate from those past relationships , '' Long said . Some football writers , like Dennis Dodd and Mark Schlabach , have said the recusal arrangement is n't transparent or objective , suggesting that members ' alma maters and former coaching jobs should be considered disqualifying conflicts of interest . Impact on scheduling ( edit ) `` Strength of schedule will become such an important factor ... that if you want to be under consideration , you need to have a more meaningful schedule than perhaps you 've had in previous years . '' -- Tom Jernstedt , selection committee member Due to the increased emphasis on strength of schedule , teams have considered playing more challenging opponents during the non-conference portion of their schedules . Some teams have traditionally played three or four `` weak '' non-conference opponents , but wins against such low - level competition are unlikely to impress the committee . For teams on the cusp of making the playoff four , `` I think one of the first things the committee will look at is strength of schedule , '' said selector Oliver Luck . Teams in the Big Ten , Big 12 and Pac - 12 play nine conference games on their twelve - game schedules and thus only have flexibility in choosing their opponents for the three non-league games . Some programs are opting to increase their schedule strength by scheduling high - profile matchups at neutral sites and on weeknights , garnering primetime TV exclusivity . In response to the new playoff system , the Southeastern Conference considered increasing its conference schedule from eight to nine games , with Alabama coach Nick Saban a vocal proponent . According to Jon Solomon of the Birmingham News , `` The prevailing opinion among SEC athletics directors : The SEC is difficult enough that there 's no need for a ninth game . '' Some in the conference , like Mississippi State athletic director Scott Stricklin , opined that a nine - game SEC schedule would result in more teams with two losses . Commissioner Michael Slive and Vanderbilt AD David Williams , among others , supported a stronger out - of - league schedule , which would likely impress the committee . In April 2014 , the league voted to mandate that all SEC teams must play a Power Five foe ( ACC , Big Ten , Big 12 , Pac - 12 , or independent Notre Dame ) in its non-conference slate beginning in 2016 . Slive noted this rule `` gives us the added strength - of - schedule we were seeking '' . In 2014 , the first year of the College Football Playoff , one team played two opponents from the Power Five , nine of the 14 teams played one Power Five conference opponent and three lower - level opponents ( including one FCS school ) , and four teams did not face a Power Five foe . In the spring of 2015 , the SEC decided to count games played against Independents BYU and Army toward its Power Five requirement . The ACC , whose teams also play eight conference games ( plus Notre Dame at least once every three years ) , also considered moving to a nine - game conference schedule . However , the league opted to stay with the eight - plus - Notre Dame model , stipulating instead that teams would have to play one Power Five school in their non-league slates beginning in 2017 , which would include the Notre Dame game or other ACC schools , as will games against another FBS independent , BYU . Despite the push to increase schedule strength , some ACC coaches preferred the scheduling flexibility available with fewer permanent fixtures on a team 's slate . Opinion was split among league athletic directors on moving to a nine - game schedule prior to the vote . An SEC expansion to a nine - game schedule would limit the ACC 's opportunities to play Power Five non-conference opponents . Semifinals ( edit ) Main article : List of College Football Playoff games The College Football Playoff uses a four - team knockout bracket to determine the national champion . Six of the most historic bowl games -- the Rose Bowl , Sugar Bowl , Orange Bowl , Cotton Bowl , Fiesta Bowl , and Peach Bowl -- rotate as hosts for the semifinals . The rotation is set on a three - year cycle with the following pairings : Rose / Sugar , Orange / Cotton , and Fiesta / Peach . The two semifinal bowls and the other four top - tier bowls are marketed as the `` New Year 's Six '' . Three of these bowls played per day , typically on consecutive days that include New Year 's Day . The selection committee seeds and pairs the top four teams , and additionally assigns teams to the at - large bowls ( Cotton , Fiesta , and Peach ) in years when they do not host semifinals . The four - team format pits the No. 1 - ranked team against No. 4 and No. 2 vs. No. 3 . The selection committee seeds the two semifinal games , placing the top - seeded team at the closest site to prevent it from playing in a `` road '' environment . There are no limits on the number of teams per conference , a change from previous BCS rules . However , some non-semifinal bowl selections still maintain their conference tie - ins , similarly to the BCS 's automatic qualifier berths . A team from one of the `` Group of Five '' conferences is guaranteed a spot in one of the New Year 's Six bowls .

The playoff group 's leaders make a selection from those proposals , in a similar fashion to other large sporting events , such as the Super Bowl or NCAA Final Four . Officials say the championship game will be held in a different city each year , and that bids must propose host stadiums with a capacity of at least 65,000 spectators . Under the system , cities can not host both a semifinal game and the title game in the same year .

ESPN then reached 12 - year agreements to retain rights to the Rose Bowl , Orange Bowl , and Sugar Bowl following the dissolution of the Bowl Championship Series . In November , ESPN reached a 12 - year deal to broadcast the remaining three bowls , the championship game , as well as shoulder programming such as ranking shows ; as a whole , the contract is valued at around $470 million per year , or nearly $5.7 billion for the life of the contract . Ratings ( edit ) The inaugural College Football Playoff games in January 2015 generated larger ratings than previous BCS games . The 2015 College Football Playoff National Championship had an 18.9 Nielsen rating and was watched by approximately 33.4 million people , the largest broadcast audience of all time on American cable television ( non-broadcast ) , according to AdWeek . That was a 31 percent audience increase over the previous year 's championship game and a 22 percent increase over the BCS title game 's best rating on cable ( a 16.1 rating in 2011 ) . The semifinal games , the 2015 Rose Bowl and 2015 Sugar Bowl , saw 28.16 million and 28.27 million viewers , respectively . According to ESPN , these games also set ( and briefly held ) all - time records for cable TV viewership . In 2015 , the ratings for the two semifinal games were down from the prior season 's equivalents , with the Orange Bowl reaching a 9.7 rating ( in comparison to 15.5 for the 2015 Rose Bowl ) and the Cotton Bowl reaching a 9.9 rating ( in comparison to a 15.3 rating for the 2015 Sugar Bowl ) . On the online WatchESPN streaming service , excluding 2014 FIFA World Cup games , the Cotton Bowl and the Orange Bowl drew the second and third - largest streaming audiences in the service 's history , behind the 2015 national championship . The ratings drops were attributed to the New Year 's Eve time slot , as fewer people were at home to watch the game . The decline in ratings was a factor in changes for the scheduling of future CFP semi-final games . Revenue ( edit ) In 2012 , ESPN reportedly paid about $7.3 billion over 12 years for broadcasting rights to all seven games , an average of about $608 million per year . That includes $215 million per year which was already committed to the Rose , Sugar and Orange bowls , plus $470 -- 475 million annually for the rest of the package . By comparison , the most recent contract with the BCS and the Rose Bowl had paid approximately $155 million per year for five games . The average revenue to the new system over 12 years is to be about $500 million per year . After $125 -- 150 million in expenses , the Power Five conferences split about 71.5 percent of the remaining money , for an approximate average payout of $250 million a year ( $50 million per league ) over the life of the contract . The `` Group of Five '' conferences split 27 percent , about $90 million a year ( $18 million per league ) . Notre Dame receives around one percent , about $3.5 - 4 million , and other FBS independents get about 0.5 percent of the deal . Extra revenue goes to conferences in contracts with the Rose , Sugar , and Orange bowls , which split revenue 50 / 50 between their participating leagues . In non-semifinal years , the Rose Bowl 's TV revenue would be divided between the Big Ten and Pac - 12 conferences ; likewise , the Sugar Bowl and Orange Bowl revenue to its participant conferences . When those bowls are semifinal games , the money is distributed by the playoff system to all FBS conferences . ESPN has paid about $80 million a year each for the Rose and Sugar bowls over 12 years . The Orange Bowl deal is worth $55 million per year . For example , in a non-semifinal year , the Big Ten could receive about $90 million ( half of its $80 million Rose Bowl deal plus about $50 million from the playoff system ) . Conferences receive an additional $6 million each year for each team it places in the semifinals and $4 million for a team in one of the three at - large bowls ; Notre Dame receives the same amount in either scenario . No additional money is awarded for reaching the championship game . The Power Five conferences and the `` Group of Five '' have not decided on their respective revenue - sharing formulas , though the SEC initially receives more revenue than the other four Power Five conferences due to its BCS success . Reports say the money is to be divided based on several criteria such as `` on - field success , teams ' expenses , marketplace factors and academic performance of student - athletes . '' The playoff system awards academic performance bonuses of $300,000 per school for meeting the NCAA 's Academic Progress Rate standard of 930 . In a hypothetical 14 - team conference , $4.2 million ( $300,000 x 14 ) would be allocated to that league , and if only 12 of the 14 members meet the APR standard , then each of the 12 schools would receive $350,000 ( $4.2 million / 12 ) , penalizing schools that fall below the threshold . Leadership ( edit ) BCS Properties , LLC holds all properties related to the College Football Playoff . Previous BCS commissioner Bill Hancock is the executive director of the playoff organization , with former ACC Senior Associate Commissioner Michael Kelly as COO . Like the BCS , the playoff system 's management committee consists of the conference commissioners from the 10 FBS conferences and Notre Dame 's athletic director . The playoff system 's headquarters is in Irving , Texas . Board of Managers ( edit ) According to the CFP website , the system 's operations are controlled by the Board of Managers , which consists of presidents and chancellors of the playoff group 's member universities . The eleven members have sole authority to develop , review and approve annual budgets , policies and operating guidelines . The group also selects the company 's officers .

As an advisory board , it has no authority in the management of the CFP .

Team selection ( edit ) Chief among the criticisms was the subjective element of the selection process such as basing rankings on metrics such as strength of schedule and conference as opposed to solely basing rankings on a team 's win - loss record . One particular similarity between the old BCS and the current Playoff system is both have been alleged to be biased toward schools , programs and conferences with large financial endowments ( being the perceived favoritism with the SEC the most outstanding argument ) , hurting the chances of smaller schools with fewer athletic resources . Undefeated teams from less wealthy conferences can be passed over for teams with losses from richer conferences . Because the tournament has four teams , at least one Power Five champion misses the playoffs every season . However , not all teams selected have been conference winners . In the 2016 -- 17 season , one of the teams selected was Ohio State , who did not qualify to the Big Ten Championship Game . As a result , both the Big Ten and Big 12 champions were not selected for the playoffs . In the 2017 -- 18 season , two of the four selected teams were from the SEC : conference champions Georgia , winners of the SEC Championship Game , and Alabama , who lost to SEC Championship Game finalist Auburn . Analysts have discussed whether the committee should selected conference champions only . Another critique centered around a perceived bias against smaller conferences such as the Big 12 which used to not stage a conference championship game , but was reintroduced for the 2017 season . The American addressed this issue by adding Navy to its ranks for 2015 , bringing its membership to 12 teams , which allowed it to stage a conference championship game under then - current NCAA rules . Starting with the 2016 season , FBS conferences will be allowed to stage football championship games even if they do not have 12 members . There are opinions labeling the CFP system `` just as '' or `` even more polarizing '' than the BCS or the old wire - service poll system . Selection committee ( edit ) The qualifications of selection committee members has also been scrutinized . As an outsider to the sports world , Condoleezza Rice was the focus of some criticism . Former Clemson head coach Tommy Bowden opined that the committee 's members should be `` people who played the game and preferably coached the game '' . Former Auburn head coach Pat Dye said that `` All she knows about football is what somebody told her ... or what she read in a book , or what she saw on television . To understand football , you 've got to play with your hand in the dirt '' . Former Big East commissioner Mike Tranghese also gained membership on the selection committee despite having never played football in college . Former sportswriter Steve Weiberg and retired U.S. Air Force General Michael Gould are other committee members without significant football playing , coaching or administrative experience . Scheduling ( edit ) The semifinal games for the 2015 season were scheduled for December 31 ; they were expected to have lower television viewership because the date is not a federal holiday , and because the second game faced heavy competition for television viewers in primetime from New Year 's Eve specials ( such as New Year 's Rockin ' Eve , which is aired by ESPN 's sister broadcast network ABC ) . Under television contracts with ESPN that predate the College Football Playoff , both the Rose and Sugar Bowl games are guaranteed exclusive TV time slots on January 1 ( or January 2 if New Year 's Day falls on a Sunday ) , regardless of whether they are hosting a semifinal game . In an interview with CBS Sports , CFP commissioner Bill Hancock suggested this scheduling issue would `` change the paradigm of what New Year 's Eve is all about , '' opining that `` if you 're hosting a New Year 's Eve party , you better have a bunch of televisions around . '' Although ESPN proposed moving the Thursday , December 31 , 2015 semifinal games to Saturday , January 2 , 2016 , the idea was rejected . The semifinal games ' ratings were ultimately down significantly from those of the previous season . In an effort to reduce the impact of their New Year 's Eve scheduling , the 2016 semifinal games , which fell on a Saturday , had earlier kickoff times , at 3 : 00 p.m. and 7 : 00 p.m. ET respectively . The 2016 Orange Bowl was played in primetime on December 30 , 2016 , rather than in an early afternoon window on New Year 's Eve . Hancock considered the earlier start times to be a compromise to reduce the games ' intrusion into New Year 's Eve festivities , but reiterated that there were no plans to move the semi-final games from New Year 's Eve outside of years where they are hosted by the Rose Bowl and Sugar Bowl . On July 28 , 2016 , however , Hancock reversed this stance and announced revisions to the scheduling for future College Football Playoff semi-final games . The games were rescheduled so that they will not necessarily be played on New Year 's Eve yearly : outside of years when they are hosted by the Rose and Sugar Bowls ( where they retain their traditional New Year 's Day scheduling ) , they will now be scheduled primarily on the last Saturday or federally observed holiday of the year . In some years , this date will land on New Year 's Eve . In 2021 , the games will be played on Friday , December 31 , because the day will be observed as a holiday .

It is estimated that in 1900 , about 89 % of inhabitants lived from the primary occupations of farming , hunting & gathering , cattle nomadism , and fishing ( Aase , 2003 : 1 ) meaning that 11 % or less were urban . At the start of the independence period in 1957 , 14.7 % of Africa 's inhabitants were urban , in 2000 had it risen to 37.2 % and it is expected to rise to 49.3 % in 2015 , in effect 3.76 % to 3.35 % per year ( UN , 2002 ) . In sub-Saharan Africa in 1960 `` only one city , Johannesburg , had a population of one million ; ... in 2009 , there were fifty - two cities with such large populations . '' The Nigerian city of Lagos that in 1963 had 665,000 inhabitants ( Rakodi , 1997 ) and 8.7 million in 2000 is expected to become the worlds 11th biggest city by 2015 with 16 million inhabitants ( UN , 2002 ) .

External trade was very active and important with Asia and Arabia . Southern Africa ( edit ) Great Zimbabwe is one of the more famous pre-colonial cities of Africa . Its Great Enclosure is considered the largest single prehistoric structure in Africa . See Also : List of African territories and states by date of colonization List of pre-colonial African cities Colonial times ( edit ) With the Berlin conference of 1884 / 85 as a foundation , Africa was apportioned among the European powers . In 1914 only Ethiopia and Liberia were left as independent states , the remainder of the continent was under British , French , Portuguese , German , Belgian , Italian or Spanish control . It was the interest of these powers that governed the borders . The continent had almost no urban population and the colonial powers had not started to invest much in its `` pieces '' ( Hernæs , 2003a ) . A good example is Northern Nigeria Protectorate that in 1900 had a budget of £ 100,000 , a military force of 2000 Hausa - soldiers and 120 British officers . With this they were to govern an enormous area with a population of about 10 million people . The economic and administrative politics had the greatest effect on urbanization . The important export products cash crops ( including cotton , maize , tobacco , sugar , coffee , tea , palm oil , and groundnuts ) and minerals had to be transported to the harbour towns for export . For this railway transport was needed , and to run the colony administration and personnel was needed . The central administration was often placed in harbour town , but there was not developed any network of small and middle - sized cities ( Aase , 2003 : 3 ) . New cities were placed in an existing settlement or at a completely new site . Completely new cities were especially developed in the copper zone to house the mine workers . Examples include Johannesburg and Kimberley in South Africa , Ndola and Kitwe in Zambia and Lubumbashi in DR Congo . A strong centralised political system was also important in the development of early urban centres for example in the ndebele kingdom under Mzilikazi and later on lobengula Some cities were used and some were ignored . Close to the main lines of transportation the cities grew , while towns that were ignored by transportation and administration in effect disappeared , as for example Kukawa and Dahomey . It was in the cities of transportation and administration that contact with government and commerce was possible . As a consequence it was invested in these cities leading to the need of workforce . The commercial politics of raw inputs exporting to finance the colony and develop Africa governed the way what cities that should grow . At the same time the colonial powers became aware of the problems that urbanization brought with it . The rural - urban migration pulled labour away from the countryside where the important export products were made . The Africans usually lived in small spaces and under poor sanitary conditions . They were therefore prone to illnesses like malaria . The colonial governments ' response was not to improve the Africans conditions , but rather to separate Europeans , Asians and Africans from each other and establish influx control laws . In South Africa this resulted in the official policy of apartheid from 1950 . This was also a policy that was especially common in settler cities like Harare , Lusaka and Nairobi . With the economic depression in the 1930s , prices of African export products dropped . This in turn led to an economic downturn and unemployment . The mining workforce before the depression had been mostly temporary or seasonal , often also forced labour . The workers therefore lived in mining cities away from home and their families in the countryside . From the 1920s in Belgian Congo and from the 1940s in South Africa and South and North Rhodesia the mining companies started to prefer more permanent workers . The authorities changed their policies to facilitate the change , and after a while also moved the working men 's families into the cities . The new policies tried to strengthen the authorities ' control over land and city growth , and make life easier for the European administration . The effect of the apartheid and similar policies can be illustrated by comparing urban growth rate in Southern Africa , with that of the rest of Africa in the 1950s . This also illustrates that the policy was not working or not effective in the other colonies : The urban growth rate of Southern Africa was about 3.3 % , compared to about 4.6 % for the whole of Africa . As the economy grew , the cities also grew . The colonial authorities started to strengthen the development policies that had suffered because of the 1930s depression . Social services , especially primary schools , but also secondary schools , and in the end of the colonial period also a few universities were built . Important infrastructure such as harbours , electricity grid and roads was further developed . All this caused growing administration , growing exports and growing cities , that grew even more in the post colonial period . Post-colonial period ( edit ) Most of today 's African countries gained their formal independence in the 1960s . The new countries seemed to have a great faith in planned economy regardless of how they gained their independence . The government should actively develop the country , not only by building infrastructure and developing social services ; but also by developing industry and employment . Many parastatal companies are today left as ' white elephants ' and demonstrate the great investments that were made in the cities at the beginning of the post-colonial period ( Rakodi , 1997 ) . For many reasons it was thought that centralisation equalled a strong ( powerful ) state ( government ) . The reasons could be the wish to induce a feeling of nationhood , which also led to the establishment of brand new capitals ( to be mentioned later ) ; a lack of qualified government officers ; someone had to do the work that the colonial officers had done , but in some places these people simply did not exist ; the fear that local authorities would turn against central authorities . ( Rakodi , 1997 ) . Centralization meant that companies had even more reason to establish themselves in the already large capitals because this was closest to power . In effect this led to a huge concentration of investment in urban areas . For example , in Nigeria where 80 % of investments not related to agriculture was spent in urban areas ( Rakodi , 1997 ) . New cities were also established in the post-colonial period , but not for the same reasons as in the colonial period . The seaport Tema in Ghana was built awaiting great industrial growth . Later , new capitals were built , inspired by the planned city of Brasília in Brazil . This happened in Malawi ( Lilongwe ) , Côte d'Ivoire ( Yamoussoukro ) and Nigeria ( Abuja ) ( Stock , 1995 ) . The new capitals were meant to give the nation a ' fresh start ' , they were supposed to be the beginning of a new golden future promised by the liberation politicians . As none of the new capitals have grown to more than about half a million inhabitants , they have probably not had much influence on the growth of the already established cities . Tema could be said to be a success as it is the most important port today , and together with Accra represent the biggest metropolitan area in Ghana ( The World Bank Group , 2001 ; UN , 2003b ; Obeng - Odoom , 2013 ) . At the same time as influx - control regulations were intensified in South Africa , this kind of regulation was weakened in the newly liberated countries . This led to more rural - urban migration in the newly liberated countries ( Rakodi , 1997 ) , and a stable decline in urbanization growth from 1950 to 1990 in South Africa . From figure 1 one can see that after the end of apartheid in 1990 , the urbanization rate grow from 2.29 % to 3.41 % , while it continues to sink in the rest of Africa . The abandonment of the influx - control regulations in 1986 is a part of this picture . The city of Bloemfontein grew 51 % between 1988 and 1996 . ( The Ministry of the Flemish Government , 2001 ) .

From : World Urbanization Prospects : The 2001 Revision , FN 2002 . Eastern Africa is included because it is the region with the most urbanization growth after 1950 . All numbers are estimated , and especially the ones for 2000 -- 2005 are therefore uncertain Influx control regulation was active in South Africa until 1986 / 90 , while in the rest of Africa they were more or less abandoned or without effect . However , even the remnants of these regulations could have an effect on how the cities grew , since they made it difficult to get hold of legally owned land . This again led to the illegitimate occupation of land . One reason for people wanting to move from rual to urban areas is that they think living will be better there . A comparison between HDI rank and urbanization level in Africa could show that there might be some sense in this belief . The five African countries that in 2001 ranked highest on the United Nations Human Development Index was also some of the most urbanised , see figure 2 . Country HDI value % urban population Libya 0.783 88.0 Tunisia 0.740 66.2 Algeria 0.704 57.7 South Africa 0.684 57.7 Equatorial Guinea 0.664 49.3 Figure 2 : Numbers from UNDP , 2003 : `` Human Development Index '' and the UN `` World Urbanization Prospects , the 2001 Revision `` . The HDI value is calculated from each countries education level , life expectancy at birth and GDP per capita ( PPP US $ ) . The countries are ranked by HDI value . In some countries rural inhabitants have been given even more reasons to migrate to the city by lower food prices in the cities , often because of pressure from trade unions . This in turn has led to lowered income in rural areas and therefore higher migration to urban areas . ( Rakodi , 1997 ; Aase , 2003 ) . Finally it should be mentioned that war and economic misconduct have led to the dilution of rural resources and periodically very high rural - urban migration . At the end of the 1980s , there were only 18 African countries that had not experienced a military coup against their government ( Rakodi , 1997 ). ( Written by Josiah Naidoo ) . Summary ( edit ) The urbanization rate in Africa is slowing , but so is the population growth rate , much because of HIV / AIDS ( UN , 2003a ) . The big cities of Africa will probably continue to grow , but the future is as always uncertain . In 1994 it was expected that Lagos would become the world 's third biggest city with 24.4 million inhabitants by 2015 ( Todaro , 1997 ) , but in 2001 this was adjusted to the world 's eleventh biggest city with ' only ' 16 million inhabitants ( UN , 2002 ) . This shows how uncertain the numbers are , and how unpredictable the African population development is . It is evident that like in the rest of the world , the African urbanization process has mainly been influenced by economy . The colonial powers placed ports , railways and mines to economically strategic places . The cities have both in colonial and post-colonial times been economically prioritized . People came to these places for nationalistic pride , work , administration , education and social services . The exception is South Africa who , with its strict influx control regime and apartheid policy , to a certain degree managed to control urban growth . It is nonetheless one of the most urbanized countries of Africa and now has a low urbanization growth .

Tenses are usually manifested by the use of specific forms of verbs , particularly in their conjugation patterns . Basic tenses found in many languages include the past , present , and future . Some languages have only two distinct tenses , such as past and nonpast , or future and nonfuture . There are also tenseless languages , like Chinese , though it can possess a future and nonfuture system , which is typical of Sino - Tibetan languages . On the other hand , some languages make finer tense distinctions , such as remote vs. recent past , or near vs. remote future . Tenses generally express time relative to the moment of speaking . In some contexts , however , their meaning may be relativized to a point in the past or future which is established in the discourse ( the moment being spoken about ) . This is called relative ( as opposed to absolute ) tense . Some languages have different verb forms or constructions which manifest relative tense , such as pluperfect ( `` past - in - the - past '' ) and `` future - in - the - past '' . Expressions of tense are often closely connected with expressions of the category of aspect ; sometimes what are traditionally called tenses ( in languages such as Latin ) may in modern analysis be regarded as combinations of tense with aspect . Verbs are also often conjugated for mood , and since in many cases the three categories are not manifested separately , some languages may be described in terms of a combined tense -- aspect -- mood ( TAM ) system .

It is not related to the adjective tense , which comes from Latin tensus , the perfect passive participle of tendere `` stretch '' . Uses of the term ( edit ) In modern linguistic theory , tense is understood as a category that expresses ( grammaticalizes ) time reference ; namely one which , using grammatical means , places a state or action in time . Nonetheless , in many descriptions of languages , particularly in traditional European grammar , the term `` tense '' is applied to series of verb forms or constructions that express not merely position in time , but also additional properties of the state or action -- particularly aspectual or modal properties . The category of aspect expresses how a state or action relates to time -- whether it is seen as a complete event , an ongoing or repeated situation , etc . Many languages make a distinction between perfective aspect ( denoting complete events ) and imperfective aspect ( denoting ongoing or repeated situations ) ; some also have other aspects , such as a perfect aspect , denoting a state following a prior event . Some of the traditional `` tenses '' express time reference together with aspectual information . In Latin and French , for example , the imperfect denotes past time in combination with imperfective aspect , while other verb forms ( the Latin perfect , and the French passé composé or passé simple ) are used for past time reference with perfective aspect . The category of mood is used to express modality , which includes such properties as uncertainty , evidentiality , and obligation . Commonly encountered moods include the indicative , subjunctive , and conditional . Mood can be bound up with tense , aspect , or both , in particular verb forms . Hence certain languages are sometimes analysed as having a single tense -- aspect -- mood ( TAM ) system , without separate manifestation of the three categories . The term tense , then , particularly in less formal contexts , is sometimes used to denote any combination of tense proper , aspect , and mood . As regards English , there are many verb forms and constructions which combine time reference with continuous and / or perfect aspect , and with indicative , subjunctive or conditional mood . Particularly in some English language teaching materials , some or all of these forms can be referred to simply as tenses ( see below ) . Particular tense forms need not always carry their basic time - referential meaning in every case . A present tense form may sometimes refer to the past ( as in the historical present ) , a past tense form may sometimes refer to the non-past ( as in some English conditional sentences ) , and so on . Possible tenses ( edit ) Not all languages have tense : tenseless languages include Burmese , Chinese and Dyirbal . Some languages have all three basic tenses ( the past , present , and future ) , while others have only two : some have past and nonpast tenses , the latter covering both present and future times ( as in Japanese , and in English in some analyses ) , whereas others such as Greenlandic and Quechua have future and nonfuture . Some languages have four or more tenses , making finer distinctions either in the past ( e.g. remote vs. recent past ) or in the future ( e.g. near vs. remote future ) . The six - tense language Kalaw Lagaw Ya of Australia has the remote past , the recent past , the today past , the present , the today / near future and the remote future . A historical past tense , used for events perceived as historical , is found in , for example , the Amazonian Cubeo language . Tenses that refer specifically to `` today '' are called hodiernal tenses ; these can be either past or future . Apart from Kalaw Lagaw Ya , another language which features such tenses is Mwera , a Bantu language of Tanzania . It is also suggested that in 17th - century French , the passé composé served as a hodiernal past . Tenses which contrast with hodiernals , by referring to the past before today or the future after today , are called pre-hodiernal and post-hodiernal respectively . Some languages also have a crastinal tense , a future tense referring specifically to tomorrow ( found in some Bantu languages ) ; or a hesternal tense , a past tense referring specifically to yesterday ( although this name is also sometimes used to mean pre-hodiernal ) . A tense for after tomorrow is thus called post-crastinal , and one for before yesterday is called pre-hesternal . Another tense found in some languages , including Luganda , is the persistive tense , used to indicate that a state or ongoing action is still the case ( or , in the negative , is no longer the case ) . Luganda also has tenses meaning `` so far '' and `` not yet '' . Some languages have special tense forms that are used to express relative tense . Tenses that refer to the past relative to the time under consideration are called anterior ; these include the pluperfect ( for the past relative to a past time ) and the future perfect ( for the past relative to a future time ) . Similarly , posterior tenses refer to the future relative to the time under consideration , as with the English `` future - in - the - past '' : ( he said that ) he would go . Relative tense forms are also sometimes analysed as combinations of tense with aspect : the perfect aspect in the anterior case , or the prospective aspect in the posterior case . Tense marking ( edit ) Tense is normally indicated by the use of a particular verb form -- either an inflected form of the main verb , or a multi-word construction , or both in combination . Inflection may involve the use of affixes , such as the - ed ending that marks the past tense of English regular verbs , but can also entail stem modifications , such as ablaut , as found in the strong verbs in English and other Germanic languages , or reduplication . Multi-word tense constructions often involve auxiliary verbs or clitics . Examples which combine both types of tense marking include the French passé composé , which has an auxiliary verb together with the inflected past participle form of the main verb ; and the Irish past tense , where the proclitic do ( in various surface forms ) appears in conjunction with the affixed or ablaut - modified past tense form of the main verb . As has already been mentioned , indications of tense are often bound up with indications of other verbal categories , such as aspect and mood . The conjugation patterns of verbs often also reflect agreement with categories pertaining to the subject , such as person , number and gender . It is consequently not always possible to identify elements that mark any specific category , such as tense , separately from the others . A few languages have been shown to mark tense information ( as well as aspect and mood ) on nouns . This may be called nominal TAM . Languages that do not have grammatical tense , such as Chinese , express time reference chiefly by lexical means -- through adverbials , time phrases , and so on . ( The same is done in tensed languages , to supplement or reinforce the time information conveyed by the choice of tense . ) Time information is also sometimes conveyed as a secondary feature by markers of other categories , as with the Chinese aspect markers le and guo , which in most cases place an action in past time . However , much time information is conveyed implicitly by context -- it is therefore not always necessary , when translating from a tensed to a tenseless language , say , to express explicitly in the target language all of the information conveyed by the tenses in the source . In particular languages ( edit ) Latin and Ancient Greek ( edit ) Latin is traditionally described as having six tenses ( the Latin for `` tense '' being tempus , plural tempora ) : Present ( praesens ) Imperfect ( praeteritum imperfectum ) Perfect ( praeteritum perfectum ) Future ( futurus ) Pluperfect ( plus quam perfectum ) Future perfect ( anterior futurus ) Of these , the imperfect and perfect can be considered to represent a past tense combined with imperfective and perfective aspect respectively ( the first is used for habitual or ongoing past actions or states , and the second for completed actions ) . The pluperfect and future perfect are relative tenses , referring to the past relative to a past time or relative to a future time . Latin verbs are conjugated for tense ( and aspect ) together with mood ( indicative , subjunctive , and sometimes imperative ) and voice ( active or passive ) . Most forms are produced by inflecting the verb stem , with endings that also depend on the person and number of the subject . Some of the passive forms are produced using a participle together with a conjugated auxiliary verb . For details of the forms , see Latin conjugation . The tenses of Ancient Greek are similar , but with a three - way aspect contrast in the past : the aorist , the perfect and the imperfect . The aorist was the `` simple past '' , while the imperfective denoted uncompleted action in the past , and the perfect was used for past events having relevance to the present . The study of modern languages has been greatly influenced by the grammar of the Classical languages , since early grammarians , often monks , had no other reference point to describe their language . Latin terminology is often used to describe modern languages , sometimes with a change of meaning , as with the application of `` perfect '' to forms in English that do not necessarily have perfective meaning , or the words Imperfekt and Perfekt to German past tense forms that mostly lack any relationship to the aspects implied by those terms . English ( edit ) English has only two morphological tenses : the present or non-past , as in he goes , and the past or preterite , as in he went . The non-past usually references the present , but sometimes references the future ( as in the bus leaves tomorrow ) . ( It also sometimes references the past , however , in what is called the historical present . ) Constructions with the modal auxiliary verbs will and shall also frequently reference the future ( although they have other uses as well ) ; these are often described as the English future tense . Less commonly , forms with the auxiliaries would and ( rarely ) should are described as a relative tense , the future - in - the - past . ( The same forms are used for the conditional mood , and for various other meanings . ) The present and past are distinguished by verb form , using either ablaut ( sing ( s ) ~ sang ) or suffix ( walk ( s ) ~ walked ) . For details , see English verbs . English also has continuous ( progressive ) aspect and perfect aspect ; these together produce four aspectual types : simple , continuous , perfect , and perfect continuous . Each of these can combine with the tenses to produce a large set of different constructions , mostly involving one or more auxiliary verbs together with a participle or infinitive : Tenses Morphological With auxiliaries Present Past Future Future - in - the - past Aspects Simple go ( es ) went will go would go Continuous am / is / are going was / were going will be going would be going Perfect have / has gone had gone will have gone would have gone Perfect continuous have / has been going had been going will have been going would have been going In some contexts , particularly in English language teaching , the tense -- aspect combinations in the above table may be referred to simply as tenses . For details of the uses of these constructions , as well as additional verb forms representing different grammatical moods , see Uses of English verb forms . Other Indo - European languages ( edit ) Proto - Indo - European verbs had present , perfect ( stative ) , imperfect and aorist forms -- these can be considered as representing two tenses ( present and past ) with different aspects . Most languages in the Indo - European family have developed systems either with two morphological tenses ( present or `` non-past '' , and past ) or with three ( present , past and future ) . The tenses often form part of entangled tense -- aspect -- mood conjugation systems . Additional tenses , tense -- aspect combinations , etc. can be provided by compound constructions containing auxiliary verbs . The Germanic languages ( which include English ) have present ( non-past ) and past tenses formed morphologically , with future and other additional forms made using auxiliaries . In standard German , the compound past ( Perfekt ) has replaced the simple morphological past in most contexts . The Romance languages ( descendants of Latin ) have past , present and future morphological tenses , with additional aspectual distinction in the past . French is an example of a language where , as in German , the simple morphological perfective past ( passé simple ) has mostly given way to a compound form ( passé composé ) . Irish , a Celtic language , has past , present and future tenses ( see Irish conjugation ) . The past contrasts perfective and imperfective aspect , and some verbs retain such a contrast in the present . Classical Irish had a three - way aspectual contrast of simple -- perfective -- imperfective in the past and present tenses . Persian , an Indo - Iranian language , has past and non-past forms , with additional aspectual distinctions . Future can be expressed using an auxiliary , but almost never in non-formal context . In the Slavic languages , verbs are intrinsically perfective or imperfective . In Russian and some other languages in the group , perfective verbs have past and future tenses , while imperfective verbs have past , present and future , the imperfective future being a compound tense in most cases . The future tense of perfective verbs is formed in the same way as the present tense of imperfective verbs . However , in South Slavic languages , there may be a greater variety of forms -- Bulgarian , for example , has present , past ( both `` imperfect '' and `` aorist '' ) and future tenses , for both perfective and imperfective verbs , as well as perfect forms made with an auxiliary ( see Bulgarian verbs ) . Other languages ( edit ) Finnish and Hungarian , both members of the Uralic language family , have morphological present ( non-past ) and past tenses . The Hungarian verb van ( `` to be '' ) also has a future form . Turkish verbs conjugate for past , present and future , with a variety of aspects and moods . Arabic verbs have past and non-past ; future can be indicated by a prefix . Korean verbs have a variety of affixed forms which can be described as representing present , past and future tenses , although they can alternatively be considered to be aspectual . Similarly , Japanese verbs are described as having present and past tenses , although they may be analysed as aspects . Chinese and many other East Asian languages generally lack inflection and are considered to be tenseless languages , although they may have aspect markers which convey certain information about time reference . For examples of languages with a greater variety of tenses , see the section on possible tenses , above . Fuller information on tense formation and usage in particular languages can be found in the articles on those languages and their grammars . Austronesian languages ( edit ) Rapa ( edit ) Rapa is the French Polynesian language of the island of Rapa Iti . Verbs in the indigenous Old Rapa occur with a marker known as TAM which stands for tense , aspect , or mood which can be followed by directional particles or deictic particles . Of the markers there are three tense markers called : Imperfective , Progressive , and Perfective . Which simply mean , Before , Currently , and After . However , specific TAM markers and the type of deictic or directional particle that follows determine and denote different types of meanings in terms of tenses . Imperfective : denotes actions that have not occurred yet but will occur and expressed by TAM e . Example : e naku mai te ' āikete anana'i IPFV come DIR INDEF teacher tomorrow ' The teacher is coming tomorrow . ' e mānea tō pē'ā ra IPFV pretty DEF woman DEIC ' That woman is beautiful . ' Progressive : Also expressed by TAM e and denotes actions that are currently happening when used with deictic na , and denotes actions that was just witnessed but still currently happening when used with deictic ra . Example : e ' āikete na ' ōna i te tamariki IPFV learn DEIC 3S ACC INDEFchild / children ' He is teaching some children . ' e kai na ou i kota'i kororio eika IPFV eat DEIC 1S ACC one small fish ' I am eating a small fish . ' e tunu na ou i te mīkaka tonga te pōpongi IPFV cook DEIC 1S ACC INDEFtaro all INDEF morning ' I cook taro every morning . ' e kaikai ra te kurī i te moa IPFV eat. continuously DEIC INDEFdog ACC INDEFchicken ' The dog is eating a chicken . ' e mate atu ra ' ōna IPFV die DIR DEIC 3S ' She has just died . ' Perfective : denotes actions that have already occurred or have finished and is marked by TAM ka . Example : ka ngurunguru te kurī PFV growl INDEFdog ' A dog growled . ' ka tākave tō tangata i te mango PFV kill DEF man ACC INDEFshark ' The man killed the shark . ' ka tunu na ou i te mīkaka tonga te pōpongi PFV cook DEIC 1S ACC INDEFtaro all INDEF morning ' I used to cook taro every morning ' In Old Rapa there are also other types of tense markers known as Past , Imperative , and Subjunctive . Past TAM i marks past action . It is rarely used as a matrix TAM and is more frequently observed in past embedded clauses i komo mātou PST sleep 1PlExcl ' We slept . ' e a'a koe i ' aka - ineine IPFV what 2S PST CAUS - ready ' What did you prepare ? ' Imperative The imperative is marked in Old Rapa by TAM a . A second person subject is implied by the direct command of the imperative . a naku mai IMP come DIR ' Come here . ' a kai tā - koe eika IMP eat INDEF. PossA - 2S fish ' Eat your fish . ' For a more polite form rather than a straightforward command imperative TAM a is used with adverbial kānei . Kānei is only shown to be used in imperative structures and was translated by the french as `` please '' . a rave mai kānei tō mea IMP take DIR PREC DEF thing ' Please take the thing . ' a omono kānei koe tō ka'u ra IMP dress PREC 2S DEF clothing DEIC ' Please dress yourself in those clothes . ' It is also used in a more impersonal form . For example , how you would speak toward a pesky neighbor . a naku kānei IMP go PREC ' Please leave now ! ' Subjunctive The subjunctive in Old Rapa is marked by kia and can also be used in expressions of desire kia naku ou i te ' are e kaikai ou SBJV come 1S PREP INDEFhouse IPFV eat. continuously 1S ' When I get to the house , I will eat . ' kia rekareka kōrua SBJV happy 2Du ' May you two be happy . ' Tokelau ( edit ) The Tokelauan language is a tenseless language . The language uses the same words for all three tenses ; the phrase E liliu mai au i te Aho Tōnai literally translates to Come back / me / on Saturday , but the translation becomes ' I am coming back on Saturday ' . Wuvulu - Aua ( edit ) Wuvulu - Aua does not have an explicit tense , but rather tense is conveyed by mood , aspect markers , and time phrases . Wuvulu speakers use a realis mood to convey past tense as speakers can be certain about events that have occurred . In some cases , realis mood is used to convey present tense -- often to indicate a state of being . Wuvulu speakers use an irrealis mood to convey future tense . Tense in Wuvulu - Aua may also be implied by using time adverbials and aspectual markings . Wuvulu contains three verbal markers to indicate sequence of events . The preverbal adverbial loʔo ' first ' indicates the verb occurs before any other . The postverbal morpheme liai and linia are the respective intransitive and transitive suffixes indicating a repeated action . The postverbal morpheme li and liria are the respective intransitive and transitive suffixes indicating a completed action . Mortlockese ( edit ) Mortlockese uses tense markers such as mii and to denote the present tense state of a subject , aa to denote a present tense state that an object has changed to from a different , past state , kɞ to describe something that has already been completed , pɞ and lɛ to denote future tense , pwapw to denote a possible action or state in future tense , and sæn / mwo for something that has not happened yet . Each of these markers is used in conjunction with the subject proclitics except for the markers aa and mii . Additionally , the marker mii can be used with any type of intransitive verb .

Sparks completed the screenplay in January 2009 , prior to the completion of the novel , making The Last Song his first script to be optioned for film . The setting , originally in North Carolina like the novel , relocated to Georgia after the states had campaigned for months to host production . Upon beginning production in Tybee Island , Georgia and nearby Savannah , The Last Song became the first movie to be both filmed and set in Tybee Island . Filming lasted from June 15 to August 18 , 2009 with much of it occurring on the island 's beach and pier . The Last Song was released by Touchstone Pictures on March 31 , 2010 .

Once a classical piano child prodigy under the tutelage of her father , Steve Miller ( Greg Kinnear ) , Ronnie now ignores the instrument and has not spoken with her father since he left . While Juilliard School has been interested in her since she was young , Ronnie refuses to attend . Steve now has the chance to reconnect with his estranged daughter when her mother , Kim Miller ( Kelly Preston ) sends the rebellious teen and her younger brother , Jonah ( Bobby Coleman ) , to spend the summer with him . Steve , a former Juilliard School professor and concert pianist , lives a quiet life in Wrightsville Beach , the small beach town in North Carolina where he grew up , working on a stained glass window for the local church to replace the one the church lost in a fire . According to the locals , it was Steve who had ( accidentally ) set fire to the church one night . After arrival , Ronnie becomes miserable , defiant , and defensive toward all those around her , including handsome , popular Will Blakelee ( Liam Hemsworth ) whose introduction involved crashing into her during a volleyball match , and accidentally spilling Ronnie 's strawberry shake on her . She shrugs him off and meets Blaze , an outcast who lives with her boyfriend Marcus . While at a beach campfire , Marcus hits on Ronnie and Blaze mistakes this for Ronnie flirting with him . Angered by this , Blaze later frames Ronnie for shoplifting , causing her arrest . Later on , Ronnie discovers a Loggerhead Sea Turtle nest at the beach by her house and while protecting it , she meets Will again on his volunteer work for the aquarium . After a night of staying up to defend the turtle eggs from predators with Will , she discovers he is deeper than she expected , and begins to develop feelings for him . The next day , Will takes Ronnie to where he works to show her the aquarium . After they leave to the beach , Ashley shows up and tells Ronnie about Will 's past relationships and how taking them to see the aquarium was routine of his , making Ronnie doubtful of her feelings toward him . Will finds her at the turtle 's nest and they have an argument about his past relationships . When Ronnie suggests she does not want to be another girl on the list and that they should end their relationship for good , Will embraces her and they kiss passionately , proving his feelings for her as akin to his quoting she 's `` not like the other girls . '' Marcus breaks up with Blaze because he wants Ronnie , which leads him and Will to fight at Megan 's wedding party . Ronnie soon hears the rumor that her father burned down the church from some locals . Distraught , she goes to Will and laments about the situation . Will , knowing that it was actually his friend Scott who while playing around set fire to the church , is overcome by guilt and goes to Steve to apologize . When Ronnie comes in hearing this , she walks out and Will follows where they have an argument and break up . Will leaves . Fall arrives and Jonah returns to New York for the school year . Ronnie stays behind to take care of their father , who revealed to Ronnie & Jonah during the summer that he is terminally ill . Leading a slow life , she tries to make up for the time with her father that she 's lost . She continues work on a composition he had been writing ( titled `` For Ronnie '' ) , after losing the steadiness of his hands due to his illness . He dies just as she finishes it . At his funeral she stands to make a speech but declares that no words could ever be able to show how wonderful her father really was . Instead , she decides to share with them the song she helped finish . Before she sits down to play , sunlight shines through the stained glass window . Ronnie smiles and says `` Hi , Daddy , '' remembering what she overheard her father tell Jonah earlier in the movie ; that whenever light shines through the window , it 's him . Blaze and other townsfolk offer Ronnie sympathy and kind words after the funeral outside . Later on , while talking to the attendants , she runs into Will . He says that he liked the song she played and that he knows her dad did too and Ronnie thanks him for coming . Having decided to attend Juilliard , Ronnie is packing up to return to New York when she sees Will standing outside . She goes outside to see him and Will apologizes to her for everything that had happened and Ronnie forgives him . Will surprises Ronnie by revealing that he will be transferring to Columbia in order to be with her and they passionately kiss . The end credits show Ronnie driving away in her car and smiling to herself .

Production ( edit ) Development ( edit ) Actress Miley Cyrus sits in make - up on set . The Last Song began when Disney executive Jason Reed met with Miley Cyrus to discuss her future career plans . At the time , Cyrus had been known mainly for starring as a pop star on Disney Channel 's Hannah Montana , a children 's television series that had expanded into a globally successful media franchise . As the series neared its end , Disney hoped to create a star vehicle to help Cyrus break out of the pop persona she had developed through the franchise and to introduce Cyrus to older audiences . During her meeting with Reed , Cyrus expressed a desire to film a movie similar to A Walk to Remember , a 2002 film based on a novel by Nicholas Sparks . A Walk to Remember helped Mandy Moore , then a teen pop star much like Cyrus , launch an acting career . Disney called Adam Shankman , director of A Walk to Remember , who signed on to produce the potential Cyrus film along with his sister and Offspring Entertainment production company partner , Jennifer Gibgot . Tish Cyrus , Cyrus ' mother and co-manager , became the film 's executive producer . Cyrus ' acting representation , United Talent Agency , then contacted Sparks , also a UTA client , to ask if he had plans for a novel appropriate for a film adaptation starring Cyrus . At the time , Sparks had been wrapping up The Lucky One and beginning to ponder an original plot for his next book . The author told himself he could `` either go younger than 20 or older than 50 '' , having recently written about every age in between . Wary of venturing above 50 again after his best - seller The Notebook , Sparks had already been leaning toward writing a teenage story when he received a phone call from Gibgot on behalf of the film in August 2008 . Sparks recalled , `` Jennifer asked if I had anything laying around ? I said no , but funny you should say that ... '' Sparks returned with a premise by the end of July 2008 . Once the proposal had been agreed upon by Cyrus , her family , and Offspring Entertainment , Sparks , with the aid of co-screenplay writer Jeff Van Wie , completed the screenplay before starting the book . Sparks explained that such an arrangement was necessary in order to accommodate filming in summer 2009 , as Disney had scheduled , but that `` this is similar to the way it 's gone with movies based on my novels ; it 's just out of order . '' Sparks and Van Wie completed the first draft of the screenplay in December 2008 , the first rewrite later that month , and the second and final rewrite in January 2009 . Both rewrites took approximately one or two days , and Sparks found them relatively simple . The finished screenplay was approximately 100 pages long . While The Last Song is not the first screenplay Sparks has written , it is his first to be optioned for film . The novel was completed in June 2009 , the same time shooting for the film began , and was published on September 8 , 2009 by Grand Central Publishing . The plot of the film and novel remained secret throughout development . Director Julie Anne Robinson talks to stunt coordinator Cal Johnson while Liam Hemsworth is coached on beach volleyball . Julie Anne Robinson signed on to direct the film in May 2009 , attracted by the emotion present in the story . The Last Song is Robinson 's first feature film , although she is a veteran of television and theater . Robinson previously helmed episodes of American series such as Weeds and Grey 's Anatomy and earned a Golden Globe nomination and a BAFTA award for her work on the BBC series Viva Blackpool . In a June 2009 blog entry , Cyrus said she had `` always been a fan of Nicholas Sparks '' and that she had been waiting to do a production separate from the Hannah Montana franchise `` for a long time '' , but had not found the time to do so due to her TV show , music , tours , and Hannah Montana : The Movie . In order to film The Last Song , Cyrus ' contract for season four of Hannah Montana included an extra long hiatus . Writing and title ( edit ) Recognizing the popularity of A Walk to Remember as both a novel and film , Sparks `` put all ( his ) thoughts into that , trying to make the story as different from A Walk to Remember as ( he could ) , but try to capture the same feelings . '' Sparks ' experiences as a father and as a high school track and field coach also helped shape the plot , and characters Jonah Miller and Will Blakelee are respectively based on Sparks ' sons Landon and Miles . Sparks felt Ronnie was the hardest character to write for because he had `` never been a 17 - year - old , angry teenage girl '' . Ronnie became a composite character inspired by several young women Sparks has known , such as his nieces . Cyrus herself influenced Ronnie fairly little , although her singing career did inspire the musical elements of the story . Ronnie plays only the piano and Cyrus only sings a small amount in the film , though she does contribute to its soundtrack . Disney did not give Sparks limitations on the topics featured in The Last Song , which include underage drinking , infidelity , and terminal illness but Sparks says that Disney desired to work with him in part because `` they 've read my novels . My teenagers ... do n't do bad things . I just do n't write that . I do n't write about adultery , I do n't write profanity ... I 'll certainly have love scenes in my novels , but they 're always between consenting adults . '' Still , Sparks acknowledges that elements of the screenplay may have been toned down by the director or the studio after he finished . As dictated by the Writers Guild of America , Sparks receives full credit for his work although the amount of his original screenplay retained in the film is uncertain . For example , Sparks says the character of Marcus , leader of the gang of thugs , was likely altered for the film . The project remained nameless for several months after Sparks ' initial meeting with Disney in July 2008 . Sparks wrote in a September 2008 online chat that `` I have the idea completed , but no title . That 's common for me though . Titles come last . '' The film was referred to by the working title `` Untitled Miley Cyrus Project '' In March 2009 , Variety magazine called `` The Last Song '' a `` tentative '' title . Casting ( edit ) Cyrus chose the name `` Ronnie '' for her character in honor of her grandfather , Ron Cyrus , who died in 2006 . Unknown to many the character had first been named `` Kirby '' by Sparks and later changed to `` Hilary '' . New interviews with Sparks reveal he imagined Cyrus in the role `` only a little '' during the writing process . The completion of the screenplay , concerned Sparks that Cyrus would not be able to successfully execute the role : `` The first thing I thought when I finished the screenplay was , wow , I hope she can do this , this is a tough role because I 'm bringing you through a whole gamut of emotion and you 're just a 16 - year - old girl who 's done the Disney Channel . Are you able to do this as an actress ? '' , After visiting the set and watching Cyrus film , Sparks ' worries abated . To play the New York teen , Cyrus worked with a dialect coach to lose her Southern accent and learned to play classical piano . After she completed filming , Cyrus said that in a case of life imitating art , she had matured and `` changed a lot '' over the course of her summer in Georgia , similar to the way Ronnie does in the film . `` Showing this movie , I feel like I 'm really showing a part of my growth as a person as well . So I 'm really excited for people to see it . '' In April 2009 , Disney officials chose Rafi Gavron for the part of Will Blakelee , but switched to Australian actor Liam Hemsworth by May . On May 18 , 2009 , the decision to cast Greg Kinnear as Steve Miller was made final . Kelly Preston 's part as Kim is the first role she has accepted since the death of her son , Jett Travolta . After being introduced to Cal Johnson , the film 's stunt coordinator , Adam Barnett landed the role of Teddy in May 2009 due to his pre-developed talent in juggling and hackey sack . Post-production ( edit ) The Last Song entered post-production following the end of filming on August 18 , 2009 . Automated dialogue replacement took place in mid-September ; Beals and Chaikin stated they had gone in to record on September 11 and September 18 respectively . Chaikin said she had worked for five and a half hours . The director 's cut was presented to the studio on October 1 , 2009 . The Motion Picture Association of America reviewed the film and issued it a PG rating for `` thematic material , some violence , sensuality and mild language '' three weeks later . Filming ( edit ) Move to Georgia ( edit ) Nobody knows what 's going to happen ( ... ) Georgia wants them badly , and we want them badly , and by Monday , there 'll be four or five other states that want them badly . -- Bev Perdue , Governor of North Carolina The Last Song had originally been set in Wrightsville Beach and Wilmington in North Carolina . Though they wished to shoot on location , filmmakers also examined three other states and identified Georgia as the next best filming site . Georgia 's housing prices were higher , but the state 's filming incentive package refunded 30 % of production costs such as gasoline , pencils , and salaries . North Carolina 's package refunded 15 % and excluded salaries of over $1 million . Still , Disney remained interested in North Carolina and offered to film there if the state would reduce the amount the company would save in Georgia , approximately $1 million , in half . North Carolina officials searched for ways to accomplish this , including applying unsuccessfully for state and Golden LEAF Foundation grants . They also introduced legislation to improve the state 's refund to 25 % , which eventually passed on August 27 , 2009 . Disney decided to work within existing incentive laws and agreed to film in North Carolina as long as the film rights they had bought from Sparks counted as a production cost , thereby saving the company an additional $125,000 to $225,000 . Then - North Carolina Governor Bev Perdue set up a press conference on April 1 , 2009 to announce N.C. 's victory . North Carolina tax collectors refused to consider the film rights , forcing Perdue to cancel the conference at the last second . `` I was hopeful to say that it was coming and now I do n't know that I 'll get to say that , '' Perdue said . `` Nobody knows what 's going to happen ( ... ) I do n't know what figures they got from Georgia , but Georgia wants them badly , and we want them badly , and by Monday ( April 6 , 2009 ) , there 'll be four or five other states that want them badly . '' Johnny Griffin , director of the Wilmington Regional Film Commission , explains : `` Disney makes feature films . They also make television series ; they make individual movies for the Disney Channel . By losing this one project , in essence , we 've lost all of those opportunities . '' He also notes the loss of jobs and tourism filming would have created . On April 9 , 2009 , after three months of deliberation , the decision to relocate to Georgia was made final . To determine the specific town , location scouts scoured the state for an aged , isolated , oceanfront property to use as the Miller family 's home in the film . After another three months and the discovery of the `` Adams Cottage '' on the southern tip of Tybee Island , Tybee and neighboring locations became the sites of filming in late March , with the intention of masquerading the area as Wilmington and Wrightsville Beach , North Carolina. , The locale proved too unique to disguise . `` We had a hard time trying to hide the fact that this was Tybee and Savannah was Savannah , '' said Bass Hampton , the film 's location director . Filmmakers convinced the screenwriters to change the setting of the film and to Tybee Island , thus allowing them to incorporate landmarks such as the Tybee Island Light Station and the Savannah Historic District . The setting of Sparks ' novel remained in North Carolina . Though other movies have been filmed in Tybee Island , The Last Song is the first to be both filmed and set in Tybee Island . With the city 's name plastered on everything from police cars to businesses , Georgia officials predict a lasting effect on the economy . In addition , The Last Song is estimated to have brought up to 500 summer jobs to Georgia , $8 million to local businesses , and $17.5 million to state businesses . Sets ( edit ) The Last Song crew members install propane pipes and gas lines to create a controlled burn for the bonfire scene . Nelson Coates is the production designer for The Last Song , responsible for all visual aspects of the movie . Coates , who was nominated for an Emmy Award for his work on the Stephen King television miniseries The Stand , arrived 11 weeks prior to the start of filming to do prep work . While most of the filming took place on the natural Tybee Island beach or on pre-constructed private property , Coates oversaw the re-painting of the pier and the construction of the carnival and church . Location scouts had searched the entirety of Georgia for an aged , isolated oceanfront property to use as a home for the Millers for nearly three months before scout Andy Young came across the `` Adams Cottage '' on the southern end of Tybee Island . `` It was getting down to zero hour , '' said Young . `` Often , it 's about the house . It can be a character itself in the movie . '' The house 's owner , Sam Adams , welcomed filming as `` an opportunity to sort of immortalize the house , '' in case it is destroyed by storms . The two - story , six bedroom house was built by Adams ' great - grandfather in 1918 and was made entirely out of hard pine wood with very few painted surfaces . According to Savannah Morning News reporter Lesley Conn , it `` was built in classic rambling beach style ( ... designed ) to allow ocean breezes to sweep through wide , wraparound porches into cool , heart - pine rooms . '' The church set was built over a six - week period in a vacant lot on the corner of 13th Street and Sixth Avenue , near residential homes . The one - room , 2,000 - square - foot ( 190 m ) building seats approximately 80 people and is estimated to be worth $250,000 to $350,000 . Special - effects coordinator Will Purcell subdued concerns about the church burning scene by stating that the building would not actually be set on fire . The intended menacing effect is `` all camera angles . It is a safe environment for actors to do their work . '' Several techniques were used to simulate the fire , including the use of propane pipes to shoot flames through the church windows . At the end of filming , Cyrus hoped to fly the church set back to her family 's estate in Tennessee . Disney agreed to donate the building to the island after Tybee officials lobbied to keep it , with the condition that its connection to The Last Song not be advertised . The set will be moved to a new location and brought up to code for use as a non-denominational chapel for island weddings ; renovations are expected to cost approximately $600,000 . Shooting schedule ( edit ) Remnants of the carnival set , such as these flags and light strings , were re-established to create the illusion that the beach scenes filmed in late July had taken place during the festival filmed in June . Cyrus ' busy schedule necessitated that filming take place over the summer . Sparks noted , `` She 's got a fall music tour and then she 's back filming Hannah Montana in the spring again . So the only time she had free in her schedule was over the summer . '' Principal photography began on June 15 , 2009 and finished on August 18 , 2009 . Filming did not take place during weekends . On the first day of production , Cyrus and Hemsworth filmed a kiss in the ocean . Other scenes which took place in June included the carnival and volleyball tournament , both of which were filmed on the beach near the Tybee Island pier . Filming at the pier wrapped up on June 23 , 2009 after shooting the scene in which Kim drops off Ronnie and Jonah to live with Steve . Scenes of the church fire were shot on July 10 , 2009 . Filming at the Georgia Tech Savannah campus began on July 16 . Kinnear finished taping on July 17 , 2009 . Wedding scenes and a key driving scene were filmed at the Wormsloe Historic Site between July 20 and July 23 for twelve hours each day . Driving scenes in Isle of Hope , Georgia continued to the 28 . By July 30 , the movie had returned to Tybee Island for more beach scenes . Chaikin 's character framed Cyrus ' for stealing a watch on August 6 . On August 10 , Hemsworth performed an oil change and Cyrus browsed an upscale boutique in downtown Savannah for the movie . The funeral was filmed from August 11 , 2009 to August 13 , 2009 at the church set in Tybee Island . On August 15 , further church burning scenes took place . The wrap party was held on the 16 , and the cast and crew arrived in Atlanta , Georgia the following day to spend the last days of filming at the Georgia Aquarium . After analyzing the area on the 17th , the movie began shooting in public areas at dawn on the 18th to avoid crowds . Once the aquarium opened to the public at 10 : 00 , filming shifted to behind - the - scenes areas . Loggerhead sea turtles ( edit ) The loggerhead sea turtle hatchlings featured in the film were stragglers collected from nests on Tybee and Sapelo Island . Due to the conflicting personalities of his protagonist couple , Sparks faced difficulty in finding a vehicle that would draw Will and Ronnie to spend time together . `` It had to be during the summer , she ( Ronnie ) had to be new in town , and whatever happened had to start in June and end in August . Because you always want a conclusion , '' said Sparks of his requirements . He mentioned summer camp or a summer job as typical vehicles used in books , but dismissed them as unoriginal and boring . `` So it 's got to be original , it 's got to be interesting , and at the same time it 's got to be universal , that you feel like it could happen to anybody . '' Sparks eventually chose to have Will and Ronnie bond over a loggerhead sea turtle nest , knowing that Loggerhead eggs often hatch in August . The scene of the hatching nest took place during the first week of August and involved 26 live loggerhead sea turtle hatchlings . Sea turtle hatchlings have an innate sense to head toward the ocean water as soon as they are born , so scenes of the nest hatching had to be taken swiftly . Said Mike Dodd of the Georgia Department of Natural Resources , the biologist who supervised the scene , the hatchlings `` did all they know how to do : They crawled down to the water and swam off . '' Sparks told an interviewer he suspected filmmakers would digitally add more turtles to the scene . At the time of filming , the loggerhead sea turtle was listed as a threatened species . The environmentally friendly theme was an added bonus to Tybee Island , which was then promoting ecotourism . Soundtrack ( edit ) The Last Song : Original Soundtrack Soundtrack album by Various Artists Released March 23 , 2010 Recorded 2009 Genre Pop Length 59 : 25 Label Hollywood Records Producer Various Artists Singles from The Last Song : Original Soundtrack `` When I Look at You '' Released : March 26 , 2010 `` I Hope You Find It '' Released : March 23 , 2010 `` When I Look at You '' , song by Miley Cyrus , was originally from her EP The Time of Our Lives released August 31 , 2009 , but was included on the soundtrack because it fit the movie well .

' ... I would definitely write a song for her ( Cyrus ) . '' In the end , however , Thomas was unable to contribute music to The Last Song , citing `` scheduling problems '' as the reason . The soundtrack features a track by Casey McPherson , frontman of the band Alpha Rev which signed with Disney 's Hollywood Records in August 2008 . Variety magazine 's Anthony D'Alessandro notes that the use of soundtracks as `` launch pads '' for new Disney artists is a common practice . `` A Different Side of Me '' by Allstar Weekend was also included on the soundtrack .

Release ( edit ) Cyrus sings `` When I Look at You '' during her Wonder World Tour while facing a screen playing a film clip of Will and Ronnie . Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures originally scheduled The Last Song for wide release on January 8 , 2010 , but was delayed from January 8 , 2010 to March 31 , 2010 . Marketing ( edit ) Upon the release of the novel on September 8 , Sparks began a book tour reaching around 13 cities and gave several interviews . During these events , he discussed writing both the novel and the screenplay . Cyrus and Walt Disney Studios Chairman Dick Cook discussed the film on September 11 , 2009 at the first D23 Expo . The first clips from the film appeared online on September 11 , 2009 , interspersed within one version of the `` When I Look at You '' music video . The film 's first trailer was integrated into Cyrus ' Wonder World Tour and premiered during the tour 's opening night on September 14 , 2009 in Portland , Oregon . Midway through each concert , the trailer was shown on large video screens surrounding the stage . After it finished , Cyrus played a white piano and sang `` When I Look at You '' while film clips continued to play on the screens behind her . On November 16 , 2009 , the first three film stills were released via the film 's Facebook page . The following day , the film 's trailer premiered online . The film 's premiere was held in Los Angeles on March 25 , 2010 . Cyrus was originally planned to go to the UK premiere of the film , but due to the April 14 , 2010 eruption of the volcano Eyjafjallajökull that blanketed Europe in volcanic ash and grounded all flights to and from the continent , she was unable to attend . Home Media ( edit ) The Last Song was released on DVD and Blu - ray on August 17 , 2010 .

( $29,289,537 ) and How to Train Your Dragon ( $29,010,044 ) . Critical response ( edit ) The Last Song was panned by critics . Review aggregation website Rotten Tomatoes , gives the film an average of 4 / 10 and a rating of 20 % based on 116 reviews . The critical consensus is summarized : `` As shamelessly manipulative as any Nicholas Sparks production , The Last Song is done no favors by its miscast and over matched star , Miley Cyrus . '' Metacritic , which assigns normalized ratings to films , The Last Song holds a `` generally unfavorable '' score of 33 % based on 27 reviews . Reviewers were critical of Sparks ' and Van Wie 's screenplay and formulaic storyline . Mick LaSalle of the San Francisco Chronicle says the screenplay 's faults include several `` scenes that make no emotional sense '' and claims , `` The plot construction is weak . Incidents do n't flow one into the next . '' When reviewing Cyrus 's performance , critics acknowledged her stage presence , but were frequently critical of her acting abilities . Jay Stone of The Ottawa Citizen says Cyrus 's portrayal of angry Ronnie `` consist ( s ) of pouting and sneering ( ... ) Cyrus does n't have a lot of range , but she does have presence . '' Rob Nelson of Variety writes , `` Cyrus , alas , has n't yet learned not to act ( ... ) But she does show off her considerable chops as a pianist and remains reasonably likable throughout . '' A.O. Scott of The New York Times believes that although `` her Hannah Montana persona has a certain aggressive charm '' , in The Last Song she `` play - act ( s ) rather than exploring the motives and feelings of her character . '' Roger Ebert gave the film a mixed 2.5 / 4 . He praised the acting and directing , but derided the plot and Sparks 's writing . Kinnear 's performance has been widely praised . A.O. Scott writes , `` it 's nice to see Mr. Kinnear play an entirely sympathetic character for a change ( but ) his slyness and subtlety seem wasted in a project that has no interest in either . '' Michael Phillips of The Chicago Tribune writes , `` Reliably honest and affecting , ( Kinnear ) fights off the waves of corn in much the same way that Tibetan monk defied the tsunami in 2012 . '' Glen Whipp of the Associated Press writes , `` Kinnear lends the movie a dignity it does n't deserve '' . Stone advises , `` I 'd watch out for Liam Hemsworth '' . Stephen Witty of The Star - Ledger commends `` newcomer Carly Chaikin ( who ) plays the `` bad girl '' ( ... ) with an exciting mixture of wildness and vulnerability . Halfway in , I began wishing desperately that Chaikin was playing the lead . '' Reception for Coleman was mixed ; Jeff Vice of `` Deseret News '' calls him a `` hammy irritant '' while Jon Bream of the Star Tribune writes , `` The most memorable acting is by Coleman , 12 ( ... who ) gets a lot of great lines and delivers them with aplomb '' . Despite the negative reviews from critics , the movie was well received from fans and audiences with a 66 % fresh score on Rotten Tomatoes and with an average of a 7 / 10 .

"Sparks was approached to write both the film's screenplay and the novel. Sparks completed the screenplay in January 2009, prior to the completion of the novel, making The Last Song his first script to be optioned for film. The setting, originally in North Carolina like the novel, relocated to Georgia after the states had campaigned for months to host production. Upon beginning production in Tybee Island, Georgia and nearby Savannah, The Last Song became the first movie to be both filmed and set in Tybee Island. Filming lasted from June 15 to August 18, 2009 with much of it occurring on the island's beach and pier. The Last Song was released by Touchstone Pictures on March 31, 2010. Upon release, the film received a negative response from critics, particularly towards its screenplay and casting."

-5859388745514783146 | Short course | Short course - Wikipedia Short course This article is about a type of pool in sport swimming . For short course triathlon , see triathlon . In swimming , the term short course ( abbreviated SC ) is used to identify a pool that is 25 metres ( 27.34 yd ) in length . The term is also often included in meet names when conducted in a short course pool . `` Short course '' is the second type of pool configuration currently recognized by FINA and other swimming bodies for pool competition ; the other / primary pool length being `` long course '' , where the pool is 50 meters in length . Olympic and the World Aquatics Championships are conducted in a long course pool . In the United States , the term `` short course '' is more commonly applied to 25 yards ( 22.86 m ) competition , which is more common in that country . Short course yards is generally abbreviated as `` SCY '' to differentiate it from short course meters ( SCM ) . The US national federations , USA Swimming and United States Masters Swimming , both maintain SCY USA records , FINA does not currently recognize records set in SCY , but does recognize / keep SCM records . USA college ( including NCAA competition ) and high school swimming are traditionally swum in SCY . Short course meter competitions are also denoted by listing of the actual meter distance : `` 25m '' ( note : within swimming , a space is not placed between the number and the meter `` m '' ) . Short course records are traditionally faster than long course records . This is assumed to be connected to increased number of wall push - offs , where speed is greatest .

Earthquakes can range in size from those that are so weak that they can not be felt to those violent enough to toss people around and destroy whole cities . The seismicity or seismic activity of an area refers to the frequency , type and size of earthquakes experienced over a period of time . At the Earth 's surface , earthquakes manifest themselves by shaking and sometimes displacement of the ground . When the epicenter of a large earthquake is located offshore , the seabed may be displaced sufficiently to cause a tsunami . Earthquakes can also trigger landslides , and occasionally volcanic activity . In its most general sense , the word earthquake is used to describe any seismic event -- whether natural or caused by humans -- that generates seismic waves . Earthquakes are caused mostly by rupture of geological faults , but also by other events such as volcanic activity , landslides , mine blasts , and nuclear tests . An earthquake 's point of initial rupture is called its focus or hypocenter . The epicenter is the point at ground level directly above the hypocenter .

The sides of a fault move past each other smoothly and aseismically only if there are no irregularities or asperities along the fault surface that increase the frictional resistance . Most fault surfaces do have such asperities and this leads to a form of stick - slip behavior . Once the fault has locked , continued relative motion between the plates leads to increasing stress and therefore , stored strain energy in the volume around the fault surface . This continues until the stress has risen sufficiently to break through the asperity , suddenly allowing sliding over the locked portion of the fault , releasing the stored energy . This energy is released as a combination of radiated elastic strain seismic waves , frictional heating of the fault surface , and cracking of the rock , thus causing an earthquake . This process of gradual build - up of strain and stress punctuated by occasional sudden earthquake failure is referred to as the elastic - rebound theory . It is estimated that only 10 percent or less of an earthquake 's total energy is radiated as seismic energy . Most of the earthquake 's energy is used to power the earthquake fracture growth or is converted into heat generated by friction . Therefore , earthquakes lower the Earth 's available elastic potential energy and raise its temperature , though these changes are negligible compared to the conductive and convective flow of heat out from the Earth 's deep interior . Earthquake fault types Main article : Fault ( geology ) There are three main types of fault , all of which may cause an interplate earthquake : normal , reverse ( thrust ) and strike - slip . Normal and reverse faulting are examples of dip - slip , where the displacement along the fault is in the direction of dip and movement on them involves a vertical component . Normal faults occur mainly in areas where the crust is being extended such as a divergent boundary . Reverse faults occur in areas where the crust is being shortened such as at a convergent boundary . Strike - slip faults are steep structures where the two sides of the fault slip horizontally past each other ; transform boundaries are a particular type of strike - slip fault . Many earthquakes are caused by movement on faults that have components of both dip - slip and strike - slip ; this is known as oblique slip . Reverse faults , particularly those along convergent plate boundaries are associated with the most powerful earthquakes , megathrust earthquakes , including almost all of those of magnitude 8 or more . Strike - slip faults , particularly continental transforms , can produce major earthquakes up to about magnitude 8 . Earthquakes associated with normal faults are generally less than magnitude 7 . For every unit increase in magnitude , there is a roughly thirtyfold increase in the energy released . For instance , an earthquake of magnitude 6.0 releases approximately 30 times more energy than a 5.0 magnitude earthquake and a 7.0 magnitude earthquake releases 900 times ( 30 × 30 ) more energy than a 5.0 magnitude of earthquake . An 8.6 magnitude earthquake releases the same amount of energy as 10,000 atomic bombs like those used in World War II . This is so because the energy released in an earthquake , and thus its magnitude , is proportional to the area of the fault that ruptures and the stress drop . Therefore , the longer the length and the wider the width of the faulted area , the larger the resulting magnitude . The topmost , brittle part of the Earth 's crust , and the cool slabs of the tectonic plates that are descending down into the hot mantle , are the only parts of our planet which can store elastic energy and release it in fault ruptures . Rocks hotter than about 300 degrees Celsius flow in response to stress ; they do not rupture in earthquakes . The maximum observed lengths of ruptures and mapped faults ( which may break in a single rupture ) are approximately 1000 km . Examples are the earthquakes in Chile , 1960 ; Alaska , 1957 ; Sumatra , 2004 , all in subduction zones . The longest earthquake ruptures on strike - slip faults , like the San Andreas Fault ( 1857 , 1906 ) , the North Anatolian Fault in Turkey ( 1939 ) and the Denali Fault in Alaska ( 2002 ) , are about half to one third as long as the lengths along subducting plate margins , and those along normal faults are even shorter . Aerial photo of the San Andreas Fault in the Carrizo Plain , northwest of Los Angeles The most important parameter controlling the maximum earthquake magnitude on a fault is however not the maximum available length , but the available width because the latter varies by a factor of 20 . Along converging plate margins , the dip angle of the rupture plane is very shallow , typically about 10 degrees . Thus the width of the plane within the top brittle crust of the Earth can become 50 to 100 km ( Japan , 2011 ; Alaska , 1964 ) , making the most powerful earthquakes possible . Strike - slip faults tend to be oriented near vertically , resulting in an approximate width of 10 km within the brittle crust , thus earthquakes with magnitudes much larger than 8 are not possible . Maximum magnitudes along many normal faults are even more limited because many of them are located along spreading centers , as in Iceland , where the thickness of the brittle layer is only about 6 km . In addition , there exists a hierarchy of stress level in the three fault types . Thrust faults are generated by the highest , strike slip by intermediate , and normal faults by the lowest stress levels . This can easily be understood by considering the direction of the greatest principal stress , the direction of the force that ' pushes ' the rock mass during the faulting . In the case of normal faults , the rock mass is pushed down in a vertical direction , thus the pushing force ( greatest principal stress ) equals the weight of the rock mass itself . In the case of thrusting , the rock mass ' escapes ' in the direction of the least principal stress , namely upward , lifting the rock mass up , thus the overburden equals the least principal stress . Strike - slip faulting is intermediate between the other two types described above . This difference in stress regime in the three faulting environments can contribute to differences in stress drop during faulting , which contributes to differences in the radiated energy , regardless of fault dimensions . Earthquakes away from plate boundaries Main article : Intraplate earthquake Where plate boundaries occur within the continental lithosphere , deformation is spread out over a much larger area than the plate boundary itself . In the case of the San Andreas fault continental transform , many earthquakes occur away from the plate boundary and are related to strains developed within the broader zone of deformation caused by major irregularities in the fault trace ( e.g. , the `` Big bend '' region ) . The Northridge earthquake was associated with movement on a blind thrust within such a zone . Another example is the strongly oblique convergent plate boundary between the Arabian and Eurasian plates where it runs through the northwestern part of the Zagros Mountains . The deformation associated with this plate boundary is partitioned into nearly pure thrust sense movements perpendicular to the boundary over a wide zone to the southwest and nearly pure strike - slip motion along the Main Recent Fault close to the actual plate boundary itself . This is demonstrated by earthquake focal mechanisms . All tectonic plates have internal stress fields caused by their interactions with neighboring plates and sedimentary loading or unloading ( e.g. deglaciation ) . These stresses may be sufficient to cause failure along existing fault planes , giving rise to intraplate earthquakes . Shallow - focus and deep - focus earthquakes Main article : Depth of focus ( tectonics ) Collapsed Gran Hotel building in the San Salvador metropolis , after the shallow 1986 San Salvador earthquake . The majority of tectonic earthquakes originate at the ring of fire in depths not exceeding tens of kilometers . Earthquakes occurring at a depth of less than 70 km are classified as ' shallow - focus ' earthquakes , while those with a focal - depth between 70 and 300 km are commonly termed ' mid-focus ' or ' intermediate - depth ' earthquakes . In subduction zones , where older and colder oceanic crust descends beneath another tectonic plate , Deep - focus earthquakes may occur at much greater depths ( ranging from 300 up to 700 kilometers ) . These seismically active areas of subduction are known as Wadati -- Benioff zones . Deep - focus earthquakes occur at a depth where the subducted lithosphere should no longer be brittle , due to the high temperature and pressure . A possible mechanism for the generation of deep - focus earthquakes is faulting caused by olivine undergoing a phase transition into a spinel structure . Earthquakes and volcanic activity Main article : Volcano tectonic earthquake Earthquakes often occur in volcanic regions and are caused there , both by tectonic faults and the movement of magma in volcanoes . Such earthquakes can serve as an early warning of volcanic eruptions , as during the 1980 eruption of Mount St. Helens . Earthquake swarms can serve as markers for the location of the flowing magma throughout the volcanoes . These swarms can be recorded by seismometers and tiltmeters ( a device that measures ground slope ) and used as sensors to predict imminent or upcoming eruptions . Rupture dynamics A tectonic earthquake begins by an initial rupture at a point on the fault surface , a process known as nucleation . The scale of the nucleation zone is uncertain , with some evidence , such as the rupture dimensions of the smallest earthquakes , suggesting that it is smaller than 100 m while other evidence , such as a slow component revealed by low - frequency spectra of some earthquakes , suggest that it is larger . The possibility that the nucleation involves some sort of preparation process is supported by the observation that about 40 % of earthquakes are preceded by foreshocks . Once the rupture has initiated , it begins to propagate along the fault surface . The mechanics of this process are poorly understood , partly because it is difficult to recreate the high sliding velocities in a laboratory . Also the effects of strong ground motion make it very difficult to record information close to a nucleation zone . Rupture propagation is generally modeled using a fracture mechanics approach , likening the rupture to a propagating mixed mode shear crack . The rupture velocity is a function of the fracture energy in the volume around the crack tip , increasing with decreasing fracture energy . The velocity of rupture propagation is orders of magnitude faster than the displacement velocity across the fault . Earthquake ruptures typically propagate at velocities that are in the range 70 -- 90 % of the S - wave velocity , and this is independent of earthquake size . A small subset of earthquake ruptures appear to have propagated at speeds greater than the S - wave velocity . These supershear earthquakes have all been observed during large strike - slip events . The unusually wide zone of coseismic damage caused by the 2001 Kunlun earthquake has been attributed to the effects of the sonic boom developed in such earthquakes . Some earthquake ruptures travel at unusually low velocities and are referred to as slow earthquakes . A particularly dangerous form of slow earthquake is the tsunami earthquake , observed where the relatively low felt intensities , caused by the slow propagation speed of some great earthquakes , fail to alert the population of the neighboring coast , as in the 1896 Sanriku earthquake . Tidal forces Tides may induce some seismicity , see tidal triggering of earthquakes for details . Earthquake clusters Most earthquakes form part of a sequence , related to each other in terms of location and time . Most earthquake clusters consist of small tremors that cause little to no damage , but there is a theory that earthquakes can recur in a regular pattern . Aftershocks Main article : Aftershock Magnitude of the Central Italy earthquakes of August and October 2016 , of January 2017 and the aftershocks ( which continued to occur after the period shown here ) . An aftershock is an earthquake that occurs after a previous earthquake , the mainshock . An aftershock is in the same region of the main shock but always of a smaller magnitude . If an aftershock is larger than the main shock , the aftershock is redesignated as the main shock and the original main shock is redesignated as a foreshock . Aftershocks are formed as the crust around the displaced fault plane adjusts to the effects of the main shock . Earthquake swarms Main article : Earthquake swarm Earthquake swarms are sequences of earthquakes striking in a specific area within a short period of time . They are different from earthquakes followed by a series of aftershocks by the fact that no single earthquake in the sequence is obviously the main shock , therefore none have notable higher magnitudes than the other . An example of an earthquake swarm is the 2004 activity at Yellowstone National Park . In August 2012 , a swarm of earthquakes shook Southern California 's Imperial Valley , showing the most recorded activity in the area since the 1970s . Sometimes a series of earthquakes occur in what has been called an earthquake storm , where the earthquakes strike a fault in clusters , each triggered by the shaking or stress redistribution of the previous earthquakes . Similar to aftershocks but on adjacent segments of fault , these storms occur over the course of years , and with some of the later earthquakes as damaging as the early ones . Such a pattern was observed in the sequence of about a dozen earthquakes that struck the North Anatolian Fault in Turkey in the 20th century and has been inferred for older anomalous clusters of large earthquakes in the Middle East . Intensity of Earth quaking and magnitude of earthquakes Quaking or shaking of the earth is a common phenomenon undoubtedly known to humans from earliest times . Prior to the development of strong - motion accelerometers that can measure peak ground speed and acceleration directly , the intensity of the earth - shaking was estimated on the basis of the observed effects , as categorized on various seismic intensity scales . Only in the last century has the source of such shaking been identified as ruptures in the earth 's crust , with the intensity of shaking at any locality dependent not only on the local ground conditions , but also on the strength or magnitude of the rupture , and on its distance . The first scale for measuring earthquake magnitudes was developed by Charles F. Richter in 1935 . Subsequent scales ( see seismic magnitude scales ) have retained a key feature , where each unit represents a ten-fold difference in the amplitude of the ground shaking , and a 32-fold difference in energy . Subsequent scales are also adjusted to have approximately the same numeric value within the limits of the scale . Although the mass media commonly reports earthquake magnitudes as `` Richter magnitude '' or `` Richter scale '' , standard practice by most seismological authorities is to express an earthquake 's strength on the moment magnitude scale , which is based on the actual energy released by an earthquake . Frequency of occurrence It is estimated that around 500,000 earthquakes occur each year , detectable with current instrumentation . About 100,000 of these can be felt . Minor earthquakes occur nearly constantly around the world in places like California and Alaska in the U.S. , as well as in El Salvador , Mexico , Guatemala , Chile , Peru , Indonesia , Iran , Pakistan , the Azores in Portugal , Turkey , New Zealand , Greece , Italy , India , Nepal and Japan , but earthquakes can occur almost anywhere , including Downstate New York , England , and Australia . Larger earthquakes occur less frequently , the relationship being exponential ; for example , roughly ten times as many earthquakes larger than magnitude 4 occur in a particular time period than earthquakes larger than magnitude 5 . In the ( low seismicity ) United Kingdom , for example , it has been calculated that the average recurrences are : an earthquake of 3.7 -- 4.6 every year , an earthquake of 4.7 -- 5.5 every 10 years , and an earthquake of 5.6 or larger every 100 years . This is an example of the Gutenberg -- Richter law . The Messina earthquake and tsunami took as many as 200,000 lives on December 28 , 1908 in Sicily and Calabria . The number of seismic stations has increased from about 350 in 1931 to many thousands today . As a result , many more earthquakes are reported than in the past , but this is because of the vast improvement in instrumentation , rather than an increase in the number of earthquakes . The United States Geological Survey estimates that , since 1900 , there have been an average of 18 major earthquakes ( magnitude 7.0 -- 7.9 ) and one great earthquake ( magnitude 8.0 or greater ) per year , and that this average has been relatively stable . In recent years , the number of major earthquakes per year has decreased , though this is probably a statistical fluctuation rather than a systematic trend . More detailed statistics on the size and frequency of earthquakes is available from the United States Geological Survey ( USGS ) . A recent increase in the number of major earthquakes has been noted , which could be explained by a cyclical pattern of periods of intense tectonic activity , interspersed with longer periods of low - intensity . However , accurate recordings of earthquakes only began in the early 1900s , so it is too early to categorically state that this is the case . Most of the world 's earthquakes ( 90 % , and 81 % of the largest ) take place in the 40,000 km long , horseshoe - shaped zone called the circum - Pacific seismic belt , known as the Pacific Ring of Fire , which for the most part bounds the Pacific Plate . Massive earthquakes tend to occur along other plate boundaries , too , such as along the Himalayan Mountains . With the rapid growth of mega-cities such as Mexico City , Tokyo and Tehran , in areas of high seismic risk , some seismologists are warning that a single quake may claim the lives of up to 3 million people . Induced seismicity Main article : Induced seismicity While most earthquakes are caused by movement of the Earth 's tectonic plates , human activity can also produce earthquakes . Four main activities contribute to this phenomenon : storing large amounts of water behind a dam ( and possibly building an extremely heavy building ) , drilling and injecting liquid into wells , and by coal mining and oil drilling . Perhaps the best known example is the 2008 Sichuan earthquake in China 's Sichuan Province in May ; this tremor resulted in 69,227 fatalities and is the 19th deadliest earthquake of all time . The Zipingpu Dam is believed to have fluctuated the pressure of the fault 1,650 feet ( 503 m ) away ; this pressure probably increased the power of the earthquake and accelerated the rate of movement for the fault . The greatest earthquake in Australia 's history is also claimed to be induced by humanity , through coal mining . The city of Newcastle was built over a large sector of coal mining areas . The earthquake has been reported to be spawned from a fault that reactivated due to the millions of tonnes of rock removed in the mining process . Measuring and locating earthquakes Main articles : Seismic scale and Seismology The instrumental scales used to describe the size of an earthquake began with the Richter magnitude scale in the 1930s . It is a relatively simple measurement of an event 's amplitude , and its use has become minimal in the 21st century . Seismic waves travel through the Earth 's interior and can be recorded by seismometers at great distances . The surface wave magnitude was developed in the 1950s as a means to measure remote earthquakes and to improve the accuracy for larger events . The moment magnitude scale measures the amplitude of the shock , but also takes into account the seismic moment ( total rupture area , average slip of the fault , and rigidity of the rock ) . The Japan Meteorological Agency seismic intensity scale , the Medvedev -- Sponheuer -- Karnik scale , and the Mercalli intensity scale are based on the observed effects . Every tremor produces different types of seismic waves , which travel through rock with different velocities : Longitudinal P - waves ( shock - or pressure waves ) Transverse S - waves ( both body waves ) Surface waves -- ( Rayleigh and Love waves ) Propagation velocity of the seismic waves ranges from approx. 3 km / s up to 13 km / s , depending on the density and elasticity of the medium . In the Earth 's interior the shock - or P waves travel much faster than the S waves ( approx . relation 1.7 : 1 ) . The differences in travel time from the epicenter to the observatory are a measure of the distance and can be used to image both sources of quakes and structures within the Earth . Also , the depth of the hypocenter can be computed roughly . In solid rock P - waves travel at about 6 to 7 km per second ; the velocity increases within the deep mantle to ~ 13 km / s . The velocity of S - waves ranges from 2 -- 3 km / s in light sediments and 4 -- 5 km / s in the Earth 's crust up to 7 km / s in the deep mantle . As a consequence , the first waves of a distant earthquake arrive at an observatory via the Earth 's mantle . On average , the kilometer distance to the earthquake is the number of seconds between the P and S wave times 8 . Slight deviations are caused by inhomogeneities of subsurface structure . By such analyses of seismograms the Earth 's core was located in 1913 by Beno Gutenberg . S waves and later arriving surface waves do main damage compared to P waves . P wave squeezes and expands material in the same direction it is traveling . S wave shakes the ground up and down and back and forth . Earthquakes are not only categorized by their magnitude but also by the place where they occur . The world is divided into 754 Flinn -- Engdahl regions ( F-E regions ) , which are based on political and geographical boundaries as well as seismic activity . More active zones are divided into smaller F-E regions whereas less active zones belong to larger F-E regions . Standard reporting of earthquakes includes its magnitude , date and time of occurrence , geographic coordinates of its epicenter , depth of the epicenter , geographical region , distances to population centers , location uncertainty , a number of parameters that are included in USGS earthquake reports ( number of stations reporting , number of observations , etc . ) , and a unique event ID . Although relatively slow seismic waves have traditionally been used to detect earthquakes , scientists realized in 2016 that gravitational measurements could provide instantaneous detection of earthquakes , and confirmed this by analyzing gravitational records associated with the 2011 Tohoku - Oki ( `` Fukushima '' ) earthquake . Effects of earthquakes 1755 copper engraving depicting Lisbon in ruins and in flames after the 1755 Lisbon earthquake , which killed an estimated 60,000 people . A tsunami overwhelms the ships in the harbor . The effects of earthquakes include , but are not limited to , the following : Shaking and ground rupture Damaged buildings in Port - au - Prince , Haiti , January 2010 . Shaking and ground rupture are the main effects created by earthquakes , principally resulting in more or less severe damage to buildings and other rigid structures . The severity of the local effects depends on the complex combination of the earthquake magnitude , the distance from the epicenter , and the local geological and geomorphological conditions , which may amplify or reduce wave propagation . The ground - shaking is measured by ground acceleration . Specific local geological , geomorphological , and geostructural features can induce high levels of shaking on the ground surface even from low - intensity earthquakes . This effect is called site or local amplification . It is principally due to the transfer of the seismic motion from hard deep soils to soft superficial soils and to effects of seismic energy focalization owing to typical geometrical setting of the deposits . Ground rupture is a visible breaking and displacement of the Earth 's surface along the trace of the fault , which may be of the order of several meters in the case of major earthquakes . Ground rupture is a major risk for large engineering structures such as dams , bridges and nuclear power stations and requires careful mapping of existing faults to identify any which are likely to break the ground surface within the life of the structure . Landslides and avalanches Main article : Landslide Earthquakes , along with severe storms , volcanic activity , coastal wave attack , and wildfires , can produce slope instability leading to landslides , a major geological hazard . Landslide danger may persist while emergency personnel are attempting rescue . Fires Fires of the 1906 San Francisco earthquake Earthquakes can cause fires by damaging electrical power or gas lines . In the event of water mains rupturing and a loss of pressure , it may also become difficult to stop the spread of a fire once it has started . For example , more deaths in the 1906 San Francisco earthquake were caused by fire than by the earthquake itself . Soil liquefaction Main article : Soil liquefaction Soil liquefaction occurs when , because of the shaking , water - saturated granular material ( such as sand ) temporarily loses its strength and transforms from a solid to a liquid . Soil liquefaction may cause rigid structures , like buildings and bridges , to tilt or sink into the liquefied deposits . For example , in the 1964 Alaska earthquake , soil liquefaction caused many buildings to sink into the ground , eventually collapsing upon themselves . Tsunami The tsunami of the 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake Main article : Tsunami Tsunamis are long - wavelength , long - period sea waves produced by the sudden or abrupt movement of large volumes of water - including when an earthquake occurs at sea . In the open ocean the distance between wave crests can surpass 100 kilometers ( 62 mi ) , and the wave periods can vary from five minutes to one hour . Such tsunamis travel 600 - 800 kilometers per hour ( 373 -- 497 miles per hour ) , depending on water depth . Large waves produced by an earthquake or a submarine landslide can overrun nearby coastal areas in a matter of minutes . Tsunamis can also travel thousands of kilometers across open ocean and wreak destruction on far shores hours after the earthquake that generated them . Ordinarily , subduction earthquakes under magnitude 7.5 on the Richter magnitude scale do not cause tsunamis , although some instances of this have been recorded . Most destructive tsunamis are caused by earthquakes of magnitude 7.5 or more . Floods Main article : Flood A flood is an overflow of any amount of water that reaches land . Floods occur usually when the volume of water within a body of water , such as a river or lake , exceeds the total capacity of the formation , and as a result some of the water flows or sits outside of the normal perimeter of the body . However , floods may be secondary effects of earthquakes , if dams are damaged . Earthquakes may cause landslips to dam rivers , which collapse and cause floods . The terrain below the Sarez Lake in Tajikistan is in danger of catastrophic flood if the landslide dam formed by the earthquake , known as the Usoi Dam , were to fail during a future earthquake . Impact projections suggest the flood could affect roughly 5 million people . Human impacts Ruins of the Għajn Ħadid Tower , which collapsed in an earthquake in 1856 An earthquake may cause injury and loss of life , road and bridge damage , general property damage , and collapse or destabilization ( potentially leading to future collapse ) of buildings . The aftermath may bring disease , lack of basic necessities , mental consequences such as panic attacks , depression to survivors , and higher insurance premiums . Major earthquakes Earthquakes of magnitude 8.0 and greater since 1900 . The apparent 3D volumes of the bubbles are linearly proportional to their respective fatalities . Main article : Lists of earthquakes One of the most devastating earthquakes in recorded history was the 1556 Shaanxi earthquake , which occurred on 23 January 1556 in Shaanxi province , China . More than 830,000 people died . Most houses in the area were yaodongs -- dwellings carved out of loess hillsides -- and many victims were killed when these structures collapsed . The 1976 Tangshan earthquake , which killed between 240,000 and 655,000 people , was the deadliest of the 20th century . The 1960 Chilean earthquake is the largest earthquake that has been measured on a seismograph , reaching 9.5 magnitude on 22 May 1960 . Its epicenter was near Cañete , Chile . The energy released was approximately twice that of the next most powerful earthquake , the Good Friday earthquake ( March 27 , 1964 ) which was centered in Prince William Sound , Alaska . The ten largest recorded earthquakes have all been megathrust earthquakes ; however , of these ten , only the 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake is simultaneously one of the deadliest earthquakes in history . Earthquakes that caused the greatest loss of life , while powerful , were deadly because of their proximity to either heavily populated areas or the ocean , where earthquakes often create tsunamis that can devastate communities thousands of kilometers away . Regions most at risk for great loss of life include those where earthquakes are relatively rare but powerful , and poor regions with lax , unenforced , or nonexistent seismic building codes . Prediction Main article : Earthquake prediction Earthquake prediction is a branch of the science of seismology concerned with the specification of the time , location , and magnitude of future earthquakes within stated limits . Many methods have been developed for predicting the time and place in which earthquakes will occur . Despite considerable research efforts by seismologists , scientifically reproducible predictions can not yet be made to a specific day or month . Forecasting Main article : Earthquake forecasting While forecasting is usually considered to be a type of prediction , earthquake forecasting is often differentiated from earthquake prediction . Earthquake forecasting is concerned with the probabilistic assessment of general earthquake hazard , including the frequency and magnitude of damaging earthquakes in a given area over years or decades . For well - understood faults the probability that a segment may rupture during the next few decades can be estimated . Earthquake warning systems have been developed that can provide regional notification of an earthquake in progress , but before the ground surface has begun to move , potentially allowing people within the system 's range to seek shelter before the earthquake 's impact is felt . Preparedness The objective of earthquake engineering is to foresee the impact of earthquakes on buildings and other structures and to design such structures to minimize the risk of damage . Existing structures can be modified by seismic retrofitting to improve their resistance to earthquakes . Earthquake insurance can provide building owners with financial protection against losses resulting from earthquakes . Emergency management strategies can be employed by a government or organization to mitigate risks and prepare for consequences . Historical views An image from a 1557 book depicting an earthquake in Italy in the 4th century BCE From the lifetime of the Greek philosopher Anaxagoras in the 5th century BCE to the 14th century CE , earthquakes were usually attributed to `` air ( vapors ) in the cavities of the Earth . '' Thales of Miletus , who lived from 625 -- 547 ( BCE ) was the only documented person who believed that earthquakes were caused by tension between the earth and water . Other theories existed , including the Greek philosopher Anaxamines ' ( 585 -- 526 BCE ) beliefs that short incline episodes of dryness and wetness caused seismic activity . The Greek philosopher Democritus ( 460 -- 371 BCE ) blamed water in general for earthquakes . Pliny the Elder called earthquakes `` underground thunderstorms . '' Recent studies In recent studies , geologists claim that global warming is one of the reasons for increased seismic activity . According to these studies melting glaciers and rising sea levels disturb the balance of pressure on Earth 's tectonic plates thus causing increase in the frequency and intensity of earthquakes . In culture Mythology and religion In Norse mythology , earthquakes were explained as the violent struggling of the god Loki . When Loki , god of mischief and strife , murdered Baldr , god of beauty and light , he was punished by being bound in a cave with a poisonous serpent placed above his head dripping venom . Loki 's wife Sigyn stood by him with a bowl to catch the poison , but whenever she had to empty the bowl the poison dripped on Loki 's face , forcing him to jerk his head away and thrash against his bonds , which caused the earth to tremble . In Greek mythology , Poseidon was the cause and god of earthquakes . When he was in a bad mood , he struck the ground with a trident , causing earthquakes and other calamities . He also used earthquakes to punish and inflict fear upon people as revenge . In Japanese mythology , Namazu ( 鯰 ) is a giant catfish who causes earthquakes . Namazu lives in the mud beneath the earth , and is guarded by the god Kashima who restrains the fish with a stone . When Kashima lets his guard fall , Namazu thrashes about , causing violent earthquakes . In popular culture In modern popular culture , the portrayal of earthquakes is shaped by the memory of great cities laid waste , such as Kobe in 1995 or San Francisco in 1906 . Fictional earthquakes tend to strike suddenly and without warning . For this reason , stories about earthquakes generally begin with the disaster and focus on its immediate aftermath , as in Short Walk to Daylight ( 1972 ) , The Ragged Edge ( 1968 ) or Aftershock : Earthquake in New York ( 1999 ) . A notable example is Heinrich von Kleist 's classic novella , The Earthquake in Chile , which describes the destruction of Santiago in 1647 . Haruki Murakami 's short fiction collection After the Quake depicts the consequences of the Kobe earthquake of 1995 . The most popular single earthquake in fiction is the hypothetical `` Big One '' expected of California 's San Andreas Fault someday , as depicted in the novels Richter 10 ( 1996 ) , Goodbye California ( 1977 ) , 2012 ( 2009 ) and San Andreas ( 2015 ) among other works . Jacob M. Appel 's widely anthologized short story , A Comparative Seismology , features a con artist who convinces an elderly woman that an apocalyptic earthquake is imminent . Contemporary depictions of earthquakes in film are variable in the manner in which they reflect human psychological reactions to the actual trauma that can be caused to directly afflicted families and their loved ones . Disaster mental health response research emphasizes the need to be aware of the different roles of loss of family and key community members , loss of home and familiar surroundings , loss of essential supplies and services to maintain survival . Particularly for children , the clear availability of caregiving adults who are able to protect , nourish , and clothe them in the aftermath of the earthquake , and to help them make sense of what has befallen them has been shown even more important to their emotional and physical health than the simple giving of provisions . As was observed after other disasters involving destruction and loss of life and their media depictions , recently observed in the 2010 Haiti earthquake , it is also important not to pathologize the reactions to loss and displacement or disruption of governmental administration and services , but rather to validate these reactions , to support constructive problem - solving and reflection as to how one might improve the conditions of those affected .

The Angels got a quick 1 - 0 lead in the first on a double by Brian Downing and a single by Fred Lynn . But Milwaukee tied the game in the bottom of the inning when Paul Molitor doubled and eventually came home on a sacrifice fly by Ted Simmons . The Angels made it 2 - 1 in the third on an RBI single from Fred Lynn , and stretched the lead to 3 - 1 in the fourth on a run - scoring single from Bob Boone . Milwaukee cut the lead to 3 - 2 in the bottom of the fourth on Ben Oglivie 's homer . The score remained unchanged until the bottom of the seventh , when disaster struck the Angels . Milwaukee loaded the bases on two singles and a walk . Cecil Cooper then cracked the series - winning hit , a two - run single that put the Brewers ahead 4 - 3 . The Milwaukee bullpen kept the Angels off the board in the final two innings , and the Brewers took home the franchise 's first American League pennant . 1982 World Series ( edit ) Main article : 1982 World Series Though the teams had never met , the cities had an existing commercial rivalry in the beer market , as St. Louis is the home of Anheuser Busch while Milwaukee is the home of Miller Brewing . This led to the Series being nicknamed the `` Suds Series '' . Paul Molitor set a World Series record with his fifth hit in the 9th inning of Game 1 . Robin Yount would set another record in the 7th inning of Game 5 by becoming the first player in Series history to have two four - hit games in one Series . Cardinals catcher Darrell Porter was given the Series MVP award . Brewers pitcher Mike Caldwell , who won two games , would have been a strong candidate , as well as Molitor . Paul Molitor would eventually win the Series MVP Award 11 years later as a member of the Toronto Blue Jays . As it was , the winning team won the MVP . The only player on the losing team to win the MVP was Bobby Richardson of the 1960 New York Yankees . Both participants are currently in the NL Central , due to the transfer of the Brewers from the American League to the National League in 1998 . This raises the possibility of the Brewers eventually playing a World Series in two different leagues .

In a scary moment , Andújar was knocked out of the game when Cecil Cooper hit a line drive that hit Andújar in the leg , though the injury turned out to not be very serious . With bullpen ace Bruce Sutter pitching in relief , the Brewers attempted a comeback in the 8th inning . With two out , Cecil Cooper hit a 2 - run homer to put Milwaukee on the board . The Brewers then got two base - runners , with Gorman Thomas representing the tying run . Thomas hit a deep fly ball to right - center field , but McGee , becoming the star of the game , made a leaping grab to rob Thomas of a potential game - tying home run . The Cardinals scored an insurance run in the 9th , and Sutter closed out the Brewers for the 6 - 2 Cardinals win and giving St. Louis a 2 - 1 Series lead .

From there , the Brewers bats suddenly came alive . Jim Gantner started the scoring with an RBI double . After a Paul Moliter walk , Robin Yount followed with a bases - loaded 2 - run single to put the Brewers within 1 run . Cecil Cooper then scored Moliter with an infield hit to tie the game . 3 batters later , with two outs , Gorman Thomas hit a 2 - run double to give the Brewers the lead . Bob McClure then finished the Cardinals off for the save , giving the Brewers a crucial Game 4 win , tying the Series 2 - 2 .

The game was scoreless until the bottom of the fourth when the Cardinals scored first on a Lonnie Smith RBI single . Ben Oglivie tied it for the Brew Crew in the fifth with a solo homer , and they took a 3 - 1 lead in the sixth when Jim Gantner scored on an error and Cecil Cooper hit a sacrifice fly . But , in the bottom of the sixth , Vuckovich began to run into trouble . With one out , Ozzie Smith singled and Lonnie Smith doubled him to third . Brewers manager Harvey Kuenn then pulled Vuckovich in favor of Bob McClure , who intentionally walked pinch - hitter Gene Tenace to load the bases . Keith Hernandez then tied the game with a two - run single . George Hendrick then gave the Cardinals the lead with an RBI single . The Cardinals punctuated the scoring with two runs in the eighth on RBI singles by Series MVP Darrell Porter and Steve Braun . Andújar pitched seven strong innings and Bruce Sutter pitched the eighth and ninth for his second save .

The president leads the executive branch of the federal government and is the commander - in - chief of the United States Armed Forces . The president is indirectly elected to a four - year term by the people through the Electoral College ( or by the House of Representatives , should the Electoral College fail to award an absolute majority of votes to any person ) . Since the office was established in 1789 , 44 people have served as president . The first , George Washington , won a unanimous vote of the Electoral College . Grover Cleveland served two non-consecutive terms in office , and is counted as the nation 's 22nd and 24th president . Thus the incumbent , Donald Trump , is the nation 's 45th president . There are currently five living former presidents . The most recent death of a former president was on December 26 , 2006 with the death of Gerald Ford ; the most recently serving president to die was Ronald Reagan on June 5 , 2004 . William Henry Harrison spent the shortest time in office , dying 31 days after taking office in 1841 . Franklin D. Roosevelt served the longest , over twelve years , before dying early in his fourth term in 1945 ; he is the only president to have served more than two terms . Since the ratification of the Twenty - second Amendment to the United States Constitution in 1951 , no person may be elected president more than twice , and no one who has served more than two years of a term to which someone else was elected may be elected more than once . Of the individuals elected as president , four died in office of natural causes ( William Henry Harrison , Zachary Taylor , Warren G. Harding , and Franklin D. Roosevelt ) , four were assassinated ( Abraham Lincoln , James A. Garfield , William McKinley , and John F. Kennedy ) , and one resigned ( Richard Nixon ) . John Tyler was the first vice president to assume the presidency intra-term , and set the precedent that a vice president who does so becomes the fully functioning president with his own presidency , as opposed to a caretaker president . The Twenty - fifth Amendment to the Constitution put Tyler 's precedent into law in 1967 . It also established a mechanism by which an intra-term vacancy in the vice presidency could be filled . Richard Nixon was the first president to fill a vacancy under this Provision when he appointed Gerald Ford to the office . Later , Ford became the second to do so when he appointed Nelson Rockefeller to succeed him . Previously , an intra-term vacancy was left unfilled . Throughout most of its history , politics of the United States have been dominated by political parties . The Constitution is silent on the issue of political parties , and at the time it came into force in 1789 , there were no parties . Soon after the 1st Congress convened , factions began rallying around dominant Washington Administration officials , such as Alexander Hamilton and Thomas Jefferson . Greatly concerned about the very real capacity of political parties to destroy the fragile unity holding the nation together , Washington remained unaffiliated with any political faction or party throughout his eight - year presidency . He was , and remains , the only U.S. president never to be affiliated with a political party . Since Washington , every president has been affiliated with a political party at the time they assumed office .

For example , George Washington served two consecutive terms and is counted as the first president ( not the first and second ) . Upon the resignation of 37th president Richard Nixon , Gerald Ford became the 38th president even though he simply served out the remainder of Nixon 's second term and was never elected to the presidency in his own right . Grover Cleveland was both the 22nd president and the 24th president because his two terms were not consecutive . A vice president who temporarily becomes acting president under the Twenty - fifth Amendment to the Constitution is not counted , because the president remains in office during such a period . Jump up ^ Listed here is the most recent office ( either with a U.S. state , the federal government , or a private corporation ) held by the individual prior to becoming President . Jump up ^ Three presidents are counted above with multiple political affiliations : John Tyler ( Whig , Unaffiliated ) , Abraham Lincoln ( Republican , National Union ) , and Andrew Johnson ( National Union , Democratic ) . Jump up ^ Listed and numbered here are the elections and inaugurations that constitute a presidential term . Jump up ^ Due to logistical delays , instead of being inaugurated on March 4 , 1789 , the date scheduled for operations of the federal government under the new Constitution to begin , Washington 's first inauguration was held 1 month and 26 days later . As a result , his first term was only 1,404 days long ( as opposed to the usual 1,461 ) , and was the shortest term for a U.S. president who neither died in office nor resigned . Jump up ^ Political parties had not been anticipated when the Constitution was drafted in 1787 and ratified in 1788 , nor did they exist at the time of the first presidential election in 1788 -- 89 . When they did develop , during Washington 's first term , Adams joined the faction which became the Federalist Party . The elections of 1792 were the first ones in the United States to be contested on anything resembling a partisan basis . Jump up ^ Due to logistical delays , Adams assumed the office of Vice President 1 month and 17 days after the March 4 , 1789 scheduled start of operations of the new government under the Constitution . As a result , his first term was only 1,413 days long , and was the shortest term for a U.S. vice president who neither died in office nor resigned . Jump up ^ The 1796 presidential election was the first contested American presidential election and the only one in which a president and vice president were elected from opposing political parties . Federalist John Adams was elected president , and Jefferson of the Democratic - Republicans was elected vice president . Jump up ^ John Calhoun , formerly a Democratic - Republican , founded the Nullifier Party in 1828 to oppose the Tariff of 1828 and advance the cause of states ' rights , but was brought on as Andrew Jackson 's running mate in the 1828 presidential election in an effort to broaden the democratic coalition led by Jackson . ^ Jump up to : Intra-term extraordinary inauguration . Jump up ^ John Tyler was sworn in as President on April 6 , 1841 . Jump up ^ John Tyler , a former Democrat , ran for vice president on the Whig Party ticket with Harrison in 1840 . Tyler 's policy priorities as president soon proved to be opposed to most of the Whig agenda , and he was expelled from the party in September 1841 . Jump up ^ Millard Fillmore was sworn in as President on July 10 , 1850 . Jump up ^ When he ran for reelection in 1864 , Republican Abraham Lincoln formed a bipartisan electoral alliance with War Democrats by selecting Democrat Andrew Johnson as his running mate , and running on the National Union Party ticket . Jump up ^ Democrat Andrew Johnson ran for vice president on the National Union Party ticket with Republican Abraham Lincoln in 1864 . Later , while president , Johnson tried and failed to build a party of loyalists under the National Union banner . Near the end of his presidency , Johnson rejoined the Democratic Party . Jump up ^ Chester A. Arthur was initially sworn in as President on September 20 , 1881 , and then again on September 22 . Jump up ^ Calvin Coolidge was initially sworn in as President on August 3 , 1923 , and then again on August 21 . Jump up ^ The Twentieth Amendment to the United States Constitution ( ratified on January 23 , 1933 ) moved Inauguration Day from March 4 to January 20 , beginning in 1937 .

The red or pinkish glow originates from hydrogen gas predominantly behind the nebula , ionized by the nearby bright star Sigma Orionis . Magnetic fields channel the gases leaving the nebula into streams , shown as streaks in the background glow . A glowing strip of hydrogen gas marks the edge of the massive cloud , and the densities of nearby stars are noticeably different on either side . The heavy concentrations of dust in the Horsehead Nebula region and neighbouring Orion Nebula are localized , resulting in alternating sections of nearly complete opacity and transparency . The darkness of the Horsehead is caused mostly by thick dust blocking the light of stars behind it . The lower part of the Horsehead 's neck casts a shadow to the left . The visible dark nebula emerging from the gaseous complex is an active site of the formation of `` low - mass '' stars . Bright spots in the Horsehead Nebula 's base are young stars just in the process of forming . It has a magnitude of . 11 . Gallery ( edit ) Horsehead Nebula and Alnitak ( WH Pickering ; 1888 ) .

About Wikipedia | how far is the horsehead nebula from earth | [
"The Horsehead Nebula (also known as Barnard 33) is a dark nebula in the constellation Orion.[1] The nebula is located just to the south of the star Alnitak, which is farthest east on Orion's Belt, and is part of the much larger Orion Molecular Cloud Complex. The nebula was first recorded in 1888 by Scottish astronomer Williamina Fleming on photographic plate B2312 taken at the Harvard College Observatory.[2] The Horsehead Nebula is approximately 1500 light years from Earth. It is one of the most identifiable nebulae because of the shape of its swirling cloud of dark dust and gases, which bears some resemblance to a horse's head when viewed from Earth.[3]\n"

'' Wallace , who was murdered on March 9 , 1997 . Released as the second single from Puff Daddy and the Family 's No Way Out album , `` I 'll Be Missing You '' samples The Police 's 1983 hit song `` Every Breath You Take '' , with an interpolated chorus sung by Evans . The track also features a spoken intro over a choral version of Samuel Barber 's `` Adagio for Strings '' . In 1998 , the song won the Grammy Award for Best Rap Performance by a Duo or Group . The single spent 11 weeks on top of the Billboard Hot 100 during the summer of 1997 . With worldwide sales likely over 8 million , including shipments of 3 million copies in the United States and over 1 million in both Germany and the United Kingdom , the song has become one of the best - selling singles of all time . As of February 2016 , it is rated the 99th biggest song of all time in the US , according to Billboard .

Sting ( vocalist from The Police ) ultimately participated in a performance of `` I 'll Be Missing You '' at the 1997 MTV Video Music Awards . Sting owns 100 % of the publishing royalties . As well as using the melody and arrangement of `` Every Breath You Take '' , the single also borrows the melody from the well - known American spiritual `` I 'll Fly Away '' . There are several different versions of this song , one being an extended version ( choir at the beginning ) , another without the choir and an instrumental version . In the extended version of the song the choir is heard singing in the beginning of `` Adagio for Strings '' by Samuel Barber. . Reception ( edit ) Entertainment Weekly gave the song a grade of D , and described it as a `` maudlin ' tribute ' to the Notorious B.I.G. , ( in which ) the late rapper 's former mentor ( Puff Daddy ) and wife ( Faith Evans ) team up to say their farewells to the big man on a song that ' samples ' the Police 's ' Every Breath You Take . ' With lyrics like `` Know you 're in heaven , smiling down / Watching us while we pray for you , ' ' I 'll Be Missing You ' gives the lie to those who claim hip - hoppers are above self - serving sentimentality . '' Music video ( edit ) The music video was shot in Chicago and was directed by Hype Williams . Numerous scenes of Puff Daddy , Faith Evans and 112 were filmed in the artistically illuminated passenger walkway tunnel between O'Hare International Airport Terminal 1 Concourses B and C . Chart performance ( edit ) `` I 'll Be Missing You '' topped many charts across the world . It reached number one in the United States , the United Kingdom , Australia , Ireland , Germany , Italy , Netherlands , New Zealand , Spain , Sweden , Switzerland , Austria , Belgium , Norway , Denmark and Poland . The song is one of the few to debut at No. 1 in the U.S. on the Billboard Hot 100 , and the only rap song by a male to do so until Eminem 's `` Not Afraid '' debuted at the top spot 13 years later in 2010 then in 2017 with DJ Khaled 's `` I 'm The One '' . The song spent a record - breaking 11 weeks at No. 1 on the Hot 100 , making it the longest running No. 1 hip - hop song in history until Eminem 's `` Lose Yourself '' spent 12 weeks at No. 1 in 2002 . The song re-entered the UK Singles Chart at # 32 on July 8 , 2007 , ten years after it had its full physical release and 10 years after it was No. 1 .

-5570155349099405702 | Omission (law) | Omission ( law ) - wikipedia Omission ( law ) The examples and perspective in this article deal primarily with the United Kingdom and do not represent a worldwide view of the subject . You may improve this article , discuss the issue on the talk page , or create a new article , as appropriate . ( December 2010 ) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message ) An omission is a failure to act , which generally attracts different legal consequences from positive conduct . In the criminal law , an omission will constitute an actus reus and give rise to liability only when the law imposes a duty to act and the defendant is in breach of that duty . In tort law , similarly , liability will be imposed for an omission only exceptionally , when it can be established that the defendant was under a duty to act . Contents ( hide ) 1 Criminal law 1.1 Assumption of responsibility for care of dependents 1.2 Statutory omissions 1.3 Duty to act when the defendant has created the danger 1.4 Failure to provide medical treatment 1.5 Duty to act when contracted to do so 1.6 Preventing and prosecuting war crimes 2 Tort law 3 See also 4 References 5 Literature Criminal law ( edit ) In the criminal law , at common law , there was no general duty of care owed to fellow citizens . The traditional view was encapsulated in the example of watching a person drown in shallow water and making no rescue effort , where commentators borrowed the line , `` Thou shalt not kill but needst not strive , officiously , to keep another alive . '' ( Arthur Hugh Clough ( 1819 -- 1861 ) ) in support of the proposition that the failure to act does not attract criminal liability . Nevertheless , such failures might be morally indefensible and so both legislatures and the courts have imposed liability when the failure to act is sufficiently blameworthy to justify criminalisation . Some statutes therefore explicitly state that the actus reus consists of any relevant `` act or omission '' , or use a word that may include both . Hence , the word `` cause '' may be both positive in the sense that the accused proactively injured the victim and negative in that the accused intentionally failed to act knowing that this failure would cause the relevant injury . In the courts , the trend has been to use objective tests to determine whether , in circumstances where there would have been no risk to the accused 's health or well - being , the accused should have taken action to prevent a foreseeable injury being sustained by a particular victim or one from a class of potential victims . So , returning to the drowning example , the accused would be liable if the victim was a child in a pool with a water depth of six inches , or there was a floatation device nearby that could easily be thrown to the victim , or the accused was carrying a mobile phone that could be used to summon help . However , the law will never penalise someone for not jumping into a raging torrent of water , i.e. the law does not require the potential saver to risk drowning even though the individual might be a lifeguard paid to patrol the given beach , river or pool . No matter what the terms of employment , an employee can never be required to do more than what is reasonable in all the circumstances . In R v Dytham ( 1979 ) QB 722 an on - duty police officer stood and watched a man beaten to death outside a nightclub . He then left without calling for assistance or summoning an ambulance . He was convicted of the common law offence of wilful misconduct in public office . Widgery CJ said : The allegation was not one of mere non-feasance , but of deliberate failure and wilful neglect . This involves an element of culpability which is not restricted to corruption or dishonesty , but which must be of such a degree that the misconduct impugned is calculated to injure the public interest so as to call for condemnation and punishment . In the Attorney General 's Reference ( No 3 of 2003 ) ( 2004 ) EWCA Crim 868 police officers arrested a man with head injuries for a breach of the peace because of his abusive and aggressive behaviour towards the hospital staff who were trying to treat him . He later stopped breathing in the police station and all attempts at resuscitation failed . Five police officers , who were involved in the care of A at the time of his death , were charged with manslaughter by gross negligence and misconduct in a public office . It was held that the latter offence required that a public officer was acting as such , that he wilfully neglected to perform his duty and / or wilfully misconducted himself in a way which amounted to an abuse of the public 's trust in the office holder , without reasonable excuse or justification ; that whether the misconduct was of a sufficiently serious nature would depend upon the responsibilities of the office and the office holder , the importance of the public objects which they served , the nature and extent of the departure from those responsibilities and the seriousness of the consequences which might follow from the misconduct ; that to establish the mens rea ( Latin for `` guilty mind '' ) of the offence , it had to be proved that the office holder was aware of the duty to act or was subjectively reckless as to the existence of the duty ; that the test of recklessness applied both to the question whether in particular circumstances a duty arose at all and to the conduct of the defendant if it did arise ; and that the subjective test applied both to reckless indifference to the legality of the act or omission and in relation to the consequences of the act or omission . Assumption of responsibility for care of dependents ( edit ) The general rule is that parents , legal guardians , spouses ( see R v Smith ( 1979 ) CLR 251 where the wife died after giving birth to a stillborn child , delivered by her husband at home ) and anyone who voluntarily agrees to care for another who is dependent because of age , illness or other infirmity , may incur a duty , at least until care can be handed over to someone else . In three cases , the duty was implied : R v Instan ( 1893 ) 1 QB 450 , Instan lived with her aunt , who was suddenly taken ill and could no longer feed herself or call for help . She was convicted of manslaughter because she neither fed her aunt , nor called for medical help , even though she continued to stay in the house and ate her aunt 's food . R v Stone & Dobinson ( 1977 ) QB 354 . Stone and his mistress agreed to care for his sister who was suffering from anorexia . As her condition deteriorated , she became bed - ridden but no help was summoned and she died . They were convicted of her manslaughter because they had accepted her into their home and so assumed a duty of care for her . R v Gibbins & Proctor ( 1918 ) 13 Cr App Rep 134 . A father and his lover neglected his child by failing to feed her . The lover had taken on a duty to care for the child when moving into the house and was under an obligation to care for her . Statutory Omissions ( edit ) Misprision of felony was abolished in 1967 but new statutory offences of failure to comply with a duty to disclose terrorist acts or funding under s19 ( 2 ) Terrorism Act 2000 , and failure to disclose knowledge or suspicion of money laundering maintain the tradition . Similarly , the appropriation element in s1 theft may be committed by an act or by keeping when there is a duty to return the property , a deception under s15 ( 4 ) Theft Act 1968 may be committed by what is not said or done , and `` dishonestly secures '' under s2 ( 1 ) Theft Act 1978 may also be committed by omission ( see R v Firth ( 1990 ) CLR 326 in which the defendant failed to tell the NHS that patients using NHS facilities were in fact private patients thereby obtaining the use of the facilities without payment ) . One of the simpler examples is the offence of failing to report a road traffic accident ( s . 170 Road Traffic Act 1988 ) . Duty to act when the defendant has created the danger ( edit ) A person who creates a dangerous situation may be under a duty to take reasonable steps to avert that danger . In R v Miller ( 1983 ) 2 AC 161 , the defendant was sleeping rough in a building . He fell asleep on his mattress while smoking a cigarette . When he woke , he found that the mattress was smouldering but , instead of calling for help , he simply moved into another room . This allowed the fire to spread . He was convicted under the Criminal Damage Act 1971 for recklessly causing damage by omission . Lord Diplock said : ... I see no rational ground for excluding from conduct capable of giving rise to criminal liability , conduct which consists of failing to take measures that lie within one 's power to counteract a danger that one has oneself created , if at the time of such conduct one 's state of mind is such as constitutes a necessary ingredient of the offence . But although this may apply to the generality of offences , `` constructive manslaughter '' is different . R v Lowe ( 1973 ) QB 702 , the defendant committed the offence of neglecting his child under s1 Children and Young Persons Act 1933 , and this caused the child 's death . It was held that there should be a difference between commission and omission . Mere neglect without some foresight of the possibility of harm resulting is not a ground of constructive manslaughter , even if that omission is deliberate . R v Khan & Khan ( 1998 ) CLR 830 , confirmed that there is no separate category of manslaughter by omission unless the omission constitutes a breach of duty to act . The defendants supplied a 15 - year - old prostitute with twice the amount of heroin likely to be taken by a regular user . The defendants left her unconscious in the flat , returning the next day to find that she had died of the overdose . Had medical assistance been called , the girl would probably not have died . The unlawful act was supplying the drug but the death was caused by the quantity injected by the victim . The trial judge invited jury to consider liability on the basis of the defendants ' failure to summon medical assistance . On appeal , the conviction was quashed because the brothers had not accepted a duty to act before she took the heroin . Failure to provide medical treatment ( edit ) In general terms , doctors and hospitals have a duty to provide appropriate care for their patients , and an omission may breach that duty except where an adult patient of ordinary capacity terminates the duty by refusing consent . There is a conflict in public policy . The policy of patient autonomy enshrines a right of self - determination -- patients have a right to live their lives how they wish , even if it will damage their health or lead to premature death . Society 's interest is in upholding the concept that all human life is sacred and should be preserved if at all possible . It is now well established that the right of the individual is paramount . In Re C ( Adult : Refusal of Treatment ) ( 1994 ) 1 WLR 290 , a patient diagnosed as a chronic , paranoid schizophrenic refused to allow his gangrenous foot to be amputated . This was permitted because his general capacity showed him capable of understanding the nature , purpose and effect of the life - saving treatment . In Re B ( Adult : Refusal of Medical Treatment ) ( 2002 ) 2 AER 449 the presumption that an adult has full capacity can be rebutted if : ( a ) the person is unable to understand the information relevant to the decision , especially as to the likely consequences of having or not having the treatment ; or ( b ) the patient is unable to use the information and weigh it in the balance as part of the process of arriving at a decision . Ms B was a competent but paralysed , ventilator - dependent patient , and she won the right to have the ventilator turned off . Although the switching - off had to be performed by a doctor , and this is an act intentionally causing death , the law characterises this as an omission because it amounts simply to a cessation of the ongoing treatment . The doctors ' conduct qualifies as lawful `` passive euthanasia '' . If the particular doctor invited to omit further treatment has conscientious objections , a doctor who will undertake the omission should be sought . But , in more general cases of necessity , urgent surgery may not be unlawful to preserve life pending any judicial decision . Similarly , when the patient is a minor , emergency treatment to preserve life will not be unlawful ( note the power to refer issues of consent to the courts under their wardship jurisdiction ) . In death with dignity situations where a patient is incapable of communicating his wishes , a doctor may be relieved of his duty , as the House of Lords recognised in Airedale National Health Service Trust v Bland ( 1993 ) AC 789 . Here a patient who had survived for three years in a persistent vegetative state after suffering irreversible brain damage in the Hillsborough disaster continued to breathe normally , but was kept alive only by being fed through tubes . It was held that treatment could properly be withdrawn in such circumstances , because the best interests of the patient did not involve him being kept alive at all costs . Lord Goff nevertheless drew a fundamental distinction between acts and omissions in this context : ... the law draws a crucial distinction between cases in which a doctor decides not to provide , or to continue to provide , for his patient treatment or care which could or might prolong his life , and those in which he decides , for example by administering a lethal drug , actively to bring his patient 's life to an end ... the former may be lawful , either because the doctor is giving effect to his patient 's wishes ... or even in certain circumstances in which ... the patient is incapacitated from stating whether or not he gives his consent . But it is not lawful for a doctor to administer a drug to his patient to bring about his death , even though that course is prompted by a humanitarian desire to end his suffering , however great that suffering may be . Duty to act when contracted to do so ( edit ) In R v Pittwood ( 1902 ) , the defendant was convicted of gross negligence manslaughter after he failed to close the gate on a level crossing as he was contracted to do . This caused a train to collide with a hay cart , and the court ruled that `` a man might incur criminal liability from a duty arising out of contract . '' Preventing and prosecuting war crimes ( edit ) Following the Nuremberg Trials international law developed the concept of command responsibility . It holds that military commanders are imposed with individual responsibility for war crimes , committed by forces under their effective command and control , they failed to prevent or adequately prosecute , if they : `` either knew or , owing to the circumstances at the time , should have known that the forces were committing or about to commit such crimes . '' Tort law ( edit ) In the law of negligence , if the defendant 's conduct took the form of an omission , rather than a positive act , then it will be more difficult to establish that she owed a duty of care to the plaintiff . The rationale is that a positive duty is more onerous to fulfill than a negative duty , and therefore limits more severely the liberty of the duty - bearer .

Scared to tell her parents and unsure what to do , she turns to her two best friends , Lauren and Madison , for help . To confirm the pregnancy they run out and buy her three different pregnancy tests , all of which turn up positive . They encourage her to go to her doctor but not to tell until she is absolutely certain .

He joins the band to meet her and one day asks her to the homecoming dance after the school 's big football game . There he becomes completely enamored by her , as does she , however Amy struggles with having to tell him that she 's pregnant . Lauren and Madison attempt to convince Amy to have sex with Ben and tell him the baby is his , but she refuses . Ricky comes up to Amy telling her she should n't be with Ben . Meanwhile , Jack Pappas , longtime boyfriend to the adherently Christian Grace Bowman , struggles with the idea of having to wait at least ten more years to have sex with Grace . Under pressure he secretly spends the night with Adrian Lee , the school majorette and Ricky 's girlfriend . At the dance he begs her not to tell anyone about their night spent together .

He tells Amy he heard the rumors but that they mean nothing to him , telling Amy he loves her . During this time , Jack is also pleading with Grace for forgiveness but she refuses to speak to him . At school , she calls her mother and asks to take her home . Her mother encourages her not to blame herself ( or Jack and Adrian ) and to just let things go . When Jack comes by Grace 's house her father shoos him off the porch , however , hearing that Jack came to see her makes her begin to want Jack back again , despite her father 's warnings to stay away from him from now on .

The card issuer ( usually a bank ) creates a revolving account and grants a line of credit to the cardholder , from which the cardholder can borrow money for payment to a merchant or as a cash advance . In other words , credit cards combine payment services with extensions of credit . Complex fee structures in the credit card industry may limit customers ' ability to comparison shop , help ensure that the industry is not price - competitive and help maximize industry profits . Because of this , legislatures have regulated credit card fees . A credit card is different from a charge card , where it requires the balance to be repaid in full each month . In contrast , credit cards allow the consumers a continuing balance of debt , subject to interest being charged . A credit card also differs from a cash card , which can be used like currency by the owner of the card . A credit card differs from a charge card also in that a credit card typically involves a third - party entity that pays the seller and is reimbursed by the buyer , whereas a charge card simply defers payment by the buyer until a later date .

Credit cards have a printed or embossed bank card number complying with the ISO / IEC 7812 numbering standard . The card number 's prefix , called the Bank Identification Number , is the sequence of digits at the beginning of the number that determine the bank to which a credit card number belongs . This is the first six digits for MasterCard and Visa cards . The next nine digits are the individual account number , and the final digit is a validity check code . Both of these standards are maintained and further developed by ISO / IEC JTC 1 / SC 17 / WG 1 . Credit cards have a magnetic stripe conforming to the ISO / IEC 7813 . Many modern credit cards have a computer chip embedded in them as a security feature . In addition to the main credit card number , credit cards also carry issue and expiration dates ( given to the nearest month ) , as well as extra codes such as issue numbers and security codes . Not all credit cards have the same sets of extra codes nor do they use the same number of digits . History ( edit ) Edward Bellamy 's looking Backward ( edit ) The concept of using a card for purchases was described in 1887 by Edward Bellamy in his utopian novel Looking Backward . Bellamy used the term credit card eleven times in this novel , although this referred to a card for spending a citizen 's dividend from the government , rather than borrowing . Charge coins , medals , and so on ( edit ) Charge coins and other similar items were used from the late 19th century to the 1930s . They came in various shapes and sizes ; with materials made out of celluloid ( an early type of plastic ) , copper , aluminum , steel , and other types of whitish metals . Each charge coin usually had a little hole , enabling it to be put in a key ring , like a key . These charge coins were usually given to customers who had charge accounts in department stores , hotels , and so on . A charge coin usually had the charge account number along with the merchant 's name and logo . The charge coin offered a simple and fast way to copy a charge account number to the sales slip , by imprinting the coin onto the sales slip . This sped the process of copying , previously done by handwriting . It also reduced the number of errors , by having a standardised form of numbers on the sales slip , instead of various kind of handwriting style . Because the customer 's name was not on the charge coin , almost anyone could use it . This sometimes led to a case of mistaken identity , either accidentally or intentionally , by acting on behalf of the charge account owner or out of malice to defraud both the charge account owner and the merchant . Beginning in the 1930s , merchants started to move from charge coins to the newer Charga - Plate . Early charge cards ( edit ) Charga - plate ( edit ) The Charga - Plate , developed in 1928 , was an early predecessor of the credit card and was used in the U.S. from the 1930s to the late 1950s . It was a 21⁄2 '' × 11⁄4 '' rectangle of sheet metal related to Addressograph and military dog tag systems . It was embossed with the customer 's name , city , and state . It held a small paper card on its back for a signature . In recording a purchase , the plate was laid into a recess in the imprinter , with a paper `` charge slip '' positioned on top of it . The record of the transaction included an impression of the embossed information , made by the imprinter pressing an inked ribbon against the charge slip . Charga - Plate was a trademark of Farrington Manufacturing Co . Charga - Plates were issued by large - scale merchants to their regular customers , much like department store credit cards of today . In some cases , the plates were kept in the issuing store rather than held by customers . When an authorized user made a purchase , a clerk retrieved the plate from the store 's files and then processed the purchase . Charga - Plates speeded back - office bookkeeping and reduced copying errors that were done manually in paper ledgers in each store . Air Travel card ( edit ) In 1934 , American Airlines and the Air Transport Association simplified the process even more with the advent of the Air Travel Card . They created a numbering scheme that identified the issuer of the card as well as the customer account . This is the reason the modern UATP cards still start with the number 1 . With an Air Travel Card , passengers could `` buy now , and pay later '' for a ticket against their credit and receive a fifteen percent discount at any of the accepting airlines . By the 1940s , all of the major US airlines offered Air Travel Cards that could be used on 17 different airlines . By 1941 about half of the airlines ' revenues came through the Air Travel Card agreement . The airlines had also started offering installment plans to lure new travelers into the air . In October 1948 , the Air Travel Card became the first internationally valid charge card within all members of the International Air Transport Association . Early general purpose charge cards : Diners Club , Carte Blanche , and American Express ( edit ) The concept of customers paying different merchants using the same card was expanded in 1950 by Ralph Schneider and Frank McNamara , founders of Diners Club , to consolidate multiple cards . The Diners Club , which was created partially through a merger with Dine and Sign , produced the first `` general purpose '' charge card and required the entire bill to be paid with each statement . That was followed by Carte Blanche and in 1958 by American Express which created a worldwide credit card network ( although these were initially charge cards that later acquired credit card features ) . BankAmericard and Master charge ( edit ) Until 1958 , no one had been able to successfully establish a revolving credit financial system in which a card issued by a third - party bank was being generally accepted by a large number of merchants , as opposed to merchant - issued revolving cards accepted by only a few merchants . There had been a dozen attempts by small American banks , but none of them were able to last very long . In September 1958 , Bank of America launched the BankAmericard in Fresno , California , which would become the first successful recognizably modern credit card . This card succeeded where others failed by breaking the chicken - and - egg cycle in which consumers did not want to use a card that few merchants would accept and merchants did not want to accept a card that few consumers used . Bank of America chose Fresno because 45 % of its residents used the bank , and by sending a card to 60,000 Fresno residents at once , the bank was able to convince merchants to accept the card . It was eventually licensed to other banks around the United States and then around the world , and in 1976 , all BankAmericard licensees united themselves under the common brand Visa . In 1966 , the ancestor of MasterCard was born when a group of banks established Master Charge to compete with BankAmericard ; it received a significant boost when Citibank merged its own Everything Card , launched in 1967 , into Master Charge in 1969 . Early credit cards in the U.S. , of which BankAmericard was the most prominent example , were mass - produced and mass mailed unsolicited to bank customers who were thought to be good credit risks . They have been mailed off to unemployables , drunks , narcotics addicts and to compulsive debtors , a process President Johnson 's Special Assistant Betty Furness found very like `` giving sugar to diabetics '' . These mass mailings were known as `` drops '' in banking terminology , and were outlawed in 1970 due to the financial chaos they caused . However , by the time the law came into effect , approximately 100 million credit cards had been dropped into the U.S. population . After 1970 , only credit card applications could be sent unsolicited in mass mailings . Before the computerization of credit card systems in America , using a credit card to pay at a merchant was significantly more complicated than it is today . Each time a consumer wanted to use a credit card , the merchant would have to call their bank , who in turn had to call the credit card company , which then had to have an employee manually look up the customer 's name and credit balance . This system was computerized in 1973 under the leadership of Dee Hock , the first CEO of Visa , allowing transaction time to decrease substantially to less than one minute . However , until always - connected payment terminals became ubiquitous at the beginning of the 21st century , it was common for a merchant to accept a charge , especially below a threshold value or from a known and trusted customer , without verifying it by phone . Books with lists of stolen card numbers were distributed to merchants who were supposed in any case to check cards against the list before accepting them , as well as verifying the signature on the charge slip against that on the card . Merchants who failed to take the time to follow the proper verification procedures were liable for fraudulent charges , but because of the cumbersome nature of the procedures , merchants would often simply skip some or all of them and assume the risk for smaller transactions . Development outside North America ( edit ) The fractured nature of the U.S. banking system under the Glass -- Steagall Act meant that credit cards became an effective way for those who were traveling around the country to move their credit to places where they could not directly use their banking facilities . There are now countless variations on the basic concept of revolving credit for individuals ( as issued by banks and honored by a network of financial institutions ) , including organization - branded credit cards , corporate - user credit cards , store cards and so on . In 1966 , Barclaycard in the United Kingdom launched the first credit card outside the United States . Although credit cards reached very high adoption levels in the US , Canada and the UK during the latter 20th century , many cultures were more cash - oriented or developed alternative forms of cashless payments , such as Carte bleue or the Eurocard ( Germany , France , Switzerland , and others ) . In these places , adoption of credit cards was initially much slower . Due to strict regulations regarding bank overdrafts , some countries , France in particular , were much quicker to develop and adopt chip - based credit cards which are seen as major anti-fraud credit devices . Debit cards and online banking ( using either ATMs or PCs ) are used more widely than credit cards in some countries . It took until the 1990s to reach anything like the percentage market penetration levels achieved in the US , Canada , and UK . In some countries , acceptance still remains low as the use of a credit card system depends on the banking system of each country ; while in others , a country sometimes had to develop its own credit card network , e.g. UK 's Barclaycard and Australia 's Bankcard . Japan remains a very cash - oriented society , with credit card adoption being limited mainly to the largest of merchants ; although stored value cards ( such as telephone cards ) are used as alternative currencies , the trend is toward RFID - based systems inside cards , cellphones , and other objects . Vintage , old , and unique credit cards as collectibles ( edit ) The design of the credit card itself has become a major selling point in recent years . The value of the card to the issuer is often related to the customer 's usage of the card , or to the customer 's financial worth . This has led to the rise of Co-Brand and Affinity cards , where the card design is related to the `` affinity '' ( a university or professional society , for example ) leading to higher card usage . In most cases a percentage of the value of the card is returned to the affinity group . A growing field of numismatics ( study of money ) , or more specifically exonumia ( study of money - like objects ) , credit card collectors seek to collect various embodiments of credit from the now familiar plastic cards to older paper merchant cards , and even metal tokens that were accepted as merchant credit cards . Early credit cards were made of celluloid plastic , then metal and fiber , then paper , and are now mostly polyvinyl chloride ( PVC ) plastic . However the chip part of credit cards is not made from plastic but from metals . Usage ( edit ) A credit card issuing company , such as a bank or credit union , enters into agreements with merchants for them to accept their credit cards . Merchants often advertise which cards they accept by displaying acceptance marks -- generally derived from logos -- or this may be communicated in signage in the establishment or in company material ( e.g. , a restaurant 's menu may indicate which credit cards are accepted ) . Merchants may also communicate this orally , as in `` We take ( brands X , Y , and Z ) '' or `` We do n't take credit cards '' . Visa , MasterCard , American Express The credit card issuer issues a credit card to a customer at the time or after an account has been approved by the credit provider , which need not be the same entity as the card issuer . The cardholders can then use it to make purchases at merchants accepting that card . When a purchase is made , the cardholder agrees to pay the card issuer . The cardholder indicates consent to pay by signing a receipt with a record of the card details and indicating the amount to be paid or by entering a personal identification number ( PIN ) . Also , many merchants now accept verbal authorizations via telephone and electronic authorization using the Internet , known as a card not present transaction ( CNP ) . Electronic verification systems allow merchants to verify in a few seconds that the card is valid and the cardholder has sufficient credit to cover the purchase , allowing the verification to happen at time of purchase . The verification is performed using a credit card payment terminal or point - of - sale ( POS ) system with a communications link to the merchant 's acquiring bank . Data from the card is obtained from a magnetic stripe or chip on the card ; the latter system is called Chip and PIN in the United Kingdom and Ireland , and is implemented as an EMV card . For card not present transactions where the card is not shown ( e.g. , e-commerce , mail order , and telephone sales ) , merchants additionally verify that the customer is in physical possession of the card and is the authorized user by asking for additional information such as the security code printed on the back of the card , date of expiry , and billing address . Each month , the cardholder is sent a statement indicating the purchases made with the card , any outstanding fees , and the total amount owed . In the US , after receiving the statement , the cardholder may dispute any charges that he or she thinks are incorrect ( see 15 U.S.C. § 1643 , which limits cardholder liability for unauthorized use of a credit card to $50 ) . The Fair Credit Billing Act gives details of the US regulations . The cardholder must pay a defined minimum portion of the amount owed by a due date , or may choose to pay a higher amount . The credit issuer charges interest on the unpaid balance if the billed amount is not paid in full ( typically at a much higher rate than most other forms of debt ) . In addition , if the cardholder fails to make at least the minimum payment by the due date , the issuer may impose a late fee or other penalties . To help mitigate this , some financial institutions can arrange for automatic payments to be deducted from the cardholder 's bank account , thus avoiding such penalties altogether , as long as the cardholder has sufficient funds . Many banks now also offer the option of electronic statements , either in lieu of or in addition to physical statements , which can be viewed at any time by the cardholder via the issuer 's online banking website . Notification of the availability of a new statement is generally sent to the cardholder 's email address . If the card issuer has chosen to allow it , the cardholder may have other options for payment besides a physical check , such as an electronic transfer of funds from a checking account . Depending on the issuer , the cardholder may also be able to make multiple payments during a single statement period , possibly enabling him or her to utilize the credit limit on the card several times . Advertising , solicitation , application and approval ( edit ) Credit card advertising regulations in the US include the Schumer box disclosure requirements . A large fraction of junk mail consists of credit card offers created from lists provided by the major credit reporting agencies . In the United States , the three major US credit bureaus ( Equifax , TransUnion and Experian ) allow consumers to opt out from related credit card solicitation offers via its Opt Out Pre Screen program . Interest charges ( edit ) Credit card issuers usually waive interest charges if the balance is paid in full each month , but typically will charge full interest on the entire outstanding balance from the date of each purchase if the total balance is not paid . For example , if a user had a $1,000 transaction and repaid it in full within this grace period , there would be no interest charged . If , however , even $1.00 of the total amount remained unpaid , interest would be charged on the $1,000 from the date of purchase until the payment is received . The precise manner in which interest is charged is usually detailed in a cardholder agreement which may be summarized on the back of the monthly statement . The general calculation formula most financial institutions use to determine the amount of interest to be charged is ( APR / 100 x ADB ) / 365 x number of days revolved . Take the annual percentage rate ( APR ) and divide by 100 then multiply to the amount of the average daily balance ( ADB ) . Divide the result by 365 and then take this total and multiply by the total number of days the amount revolved before payment was made on the account . Financial institutions refer to interest charged back to the original time of the transaction and up to the time a payment was made , if not in full , as a residual retail finance charge ( RRFC ) . Thus after an amount has revolved and a payment has been made , the user of the card will still receive interest charges on their statement after paying the next statement in full ( in fact the statement may only have a charge for interest that collected up until the date the full balance was paid , i.e. when the balance stopped revolving ) . The credit card may simply serve as a form of revolving credit , or it may become a complicated financial instrument with multiple balance segments each at a different interest rate , possibly with a single umbrella credit limit , or with separate credit limits applicable to the various balance segments . Usually this compartmentalization is the result of special incentive offers from the issuing bank , to encourage balance transfers from cards of other issuers . In the event that several interest rates apply to various balance segments , payment allocation is generally at the discretion of the issuing bank , and payments will therefore usually be allocated towards the lowest rate balances until paid in full before any money is paid towards higher rate balances . Interest rates can vary considerably from card to card , and the interest rate on a particular card may jump dramatically if the card user is late with a payment on that card or any other credit instrument , or even if the issuing bank decides to raise its revenue . Grace period ( edit ) A credit card 's grace period is the time the cardholder has to pay the balance before interest is assessed on the outstanding balance . Grace periods may vary , but usually range from 20 to 55 days depending on the type of credit card and the issuing bank . Some policies allow for reinstatement after certain conditions are met . Usually , if a cardholder is late paying the balance , finance charges will be calculated and the grace period does not apply . Finance charges incurred depend on the grace period and balance ; with most credit cards there is no grace period if there is any outstanding balance from the previous billing cycle or statement ( i.e. interest is applied on both the previous balance and new transactions ) . However , there are some credit cards that will only apply finance charge on the previous or old balance , excluding new transactions . Parties involved ( edit ) Cardholder : The holder of the card used to make a purchase ; the consumer . Card - issuing bank : The financial institution or other organization that issued the credit card to the cardholder . This bank bills the consumer for repayment and bears the risk that the card is used fraudulently . American Express and Discover were previously the only card - issuing banks for their respective brands , but as of 2007 , this is no longer the case . Cards issued by banks to cardholders in a different country are known as offshore credit cards . Merchant : The individual or business accepting credit card payments for products or services sold to the cardholder . Acquiring bank : The financial institution accepting payment for the products or services on behalf of the merchant . Independent sales organization : Resellers ( to merchants ) of the services of the acquiring bank . Merchant account : This could refer to the acquiring bank or the independent sales organization , but in general is the organization that the merchant deals with . Credit Card association : An association of card - issuing banks such as Discover , Visa , MasterCard , American Express , etc. that set transaction terms for merchants , card - issuing banks , and acquiring banks . Transaction network : The system that implements the mechanics of the electronic transactions . May be operated by an independent company , and one company may operate multiple networks . Affinity partner : Some institutions lend their names to an issuer to attract customers that have a strong relationship with that institution , and get paid a fee or a percentage of the balance for each card issued using their name . Examples of typical affinity partners are sports teams , universities , charities , professional organizations , and major retailers . Insurance providers : Insurers underwriting various insurance protections offered as credit card perks , for example , Car Rental Insurance , Purchase Security , Hotel Burglary Insurance , Travel Medical Protection etc . The flow of information and money between these parties -- always through the card associations -- is known as the interchange , and it consists of a few steps . Transaction steps ( edit ) Authorization : The cardholder presents the card as payment to the merchant and the merchant submits the transaction to the acquirer ( acquiring bank ) . The acquirer verifies the credit card number , the transaction type and the amount with the issuer ( card - issuing bank ) and reserves that amount of the cardholder 's credit limit for the merchant . An authorization will generate an approval code , which the merchant stores with the transaction . Batching : Authorized transactions are stored in `` batches '' , which are sent to the acquirer . Batches are typically submitted once per day at the end of the business day . If a transaction is not submitted in the batch , the authorization will stay valid for a period determined by the issuer , after which the held amount will be returned to the cardholder 's available credit ( see authorization hold ) . Some transactions may be submitted in the batch without prior authorizations ; these are either transactions falling under the merchant 's floor limit or ones where the authorization was unsuccessful but the merchant still attempts to force the transaction through . ( Such may be the case when the cardholder is not present but owes the merchant additional money , such as extending a hotel stay or car rental . ) Clearing and Settlement : The acquirer sends the batch transactions through the credit card association , which debits the issuers for payment and credits the acquirer . Essentially , the issuer pays the acquirer for the transaction . Funding : Once the acquirer has been paid , the acquirer pays the merchant . The merchant receives the amount totaling the funds in the batch minus either the `` discount rate '' , `` mid-qualified rate '' , or `` non-qualified rate '' which are tiers of fees the merchant pays the acquirer for processing the transactions . Chargebacks : A chargeback is an event in which money in a merchant account is held due to a dispute relating to the transaction . Chargebacks are typically initiated by the cardholder . In the event of a chargeback , the issuer returns the transaction to the acquirer for resolution . The acquirer then forwards the chargeback to the merchant , who must either accept the chargeback or contest it . Credit card register ( edit ) A credit card register is a transaction register used to ensure the increasing balance owed from using a credit card is enough below the credit limit to deal with authorization holds and payments not yet received by the bank and to easily look up past transactions for reconciliation and budgeting . The register is a personal record of banking transactions used for credit card purchases as they affect funds in the bank account or the available credit . In addition to check number and so forth the code column indicates the credit card . The balance column shows available funds after purchases . When the credit card payment is made the balance already reflects the funds were spent . In a credit card 's entry , the deposit column shows the available credit and the payment column shows total owed , their sum being equal to the credit limit . Each check written , debit card transaction , cash withdrawal , and credit card charge is entered manually into the paper register daily or several times per week . Credit card register also refers to one transaction record for each credit card . In this case the booklets readily enable the location of a card 's current available credit when ten or more cards are in use . Features ( edit ) As well as convenient credit , credit cards offer consumers an easy way to track expenses , which is necessary for both monitoring personal expenditures and the tracking of work - related expenses for taxation and reimbursement purposes . Credit cards are accepted in larger establishments in almost all countries , and are available with a variety of credit limits , repayment arrangements . Some have added perks ( such as insurance protection , rewards schemes in which points earned by purchasing goods with the card can be redeemed for further goods and services or cashback ) . Consumers ' limited liability ( edit ) Some countries , such as the United States , the United Kingdom , and France , limit the amount for which a consumer can be held liable in the event of fraudulent transactions with a lost or stolen credit card . Types ( edit ) Business credit cards ( edit ) See also : Stored - value card Business credit cards are specialized credit cards issued in the name of a registered business , and typically they can only be used for business purposes . Their use has grown in recent decades . In 1998 , for instance , 37 % of small businesses reported using a business credit card ; by 2009 , this number had grown to 64 % . Business credit cards offer a number of features specific to businesses . They frequently offer special rewards in areas such as shipping , office supplies , travel , and business technology . Most issuers use the applicant 's personal credit score when evaluating these applications . In addition , income from a variety of sources may be used to qualify , which means these cards may be available to businesses that are newly established . In addition , most major issuers of these cards do not report account activity to the owner 's personal credit unless there is a default . This may have the effect of protecting the owner 's personal credit from the activity of the business . Business credit cards are offered by almost all major card issuers -- like American Express , Visa , and MasterCard in addition to local banks and credit unions . Charge cards for businesses , however , are currently only offered by American Express . Secured credit cards ( edit ) A secured credit card is a type of credit card secured by a deposit account owned by the cardholder . Typically , the cardholder must deposit between 100 % and 200 % of the total amount of credit desired . Thus if the cardholder puts down $1,000 , they will be given credit in the range of $500 -- 1,000 . In some cases , credit card issuers will offer incentives even on their secured card portfolios . In these cases , the deposit required may be significantly less than the required credit limit , and can be as low as 10 % of the desired credit limit . This deposit is held in a special savings account . Credit card issuers offer this because they have noticed that delinquencies were notably reduced when the customer perceives something to lose if the balance is not repaid . The cardholder of a secured credit card is still expected to make regular payments , as with a regular credit card , but should they default on a payment , the card issuer has the option of recovering the cost of the purchases paid to the merchants out of the deposit . The advantage of the secured card for an individual with negative or no credit history is that most companies report regularly to the major credit bureaus . This allows building a positive credit history . Although the deposit is in the hands of the credit card issuer as security in the event of default by the consumer , the deposit will not be debited simply for missing one or two payments . Usually the deposit is only used as an offset when the account is closed , either at the request of the customer or due to severe delinquency ( 150 to 180 days ) . This means that an account which is less than 150 days delinquent will continue to accrue interest and fees , and could result in a balance which is much higher than the actual credit limit on the card . In these cases the total debt may far exceed the original deposit and the cardholder not only forfeits their deposit but is left with an additional debt . Most of these conditions are usually described in a cardholder agreement which the cardholder signs when their account is opened . Secured credit cards are an option to allow a person with a poor credit history or no credit history to have a credit card which might not otherwise be available . They are often offered as a means of rebuilding one 's credit . Fees and service charges for secured credit cards often exceed those charged for ordinary non-secured credit cards . For people in certain situations , ( for example , after charging off on other credit cards , or people with a long history of delinquency on various forms of debt ) , secured cards are almost always more expensive than unsecured credit cards . Sometimes a credit card will be secured by the equity in the borrower 's home . Prepaid cards ( edit ) See also : Stored - value card A `` prepaid credit card '' is not a true credit card , since no credit is offered by the card issuer : the cardholder spends money which has been `` stored '' via a prior deposit by the cardholder or someone else , such as a parent or employer . However , it carries a credit - card brand ( such as Discover , Visa , MasterCard , American Express , or JCB ) and can be used in similar ways just as though it were a credit card . Unlike debit cards , prepaid credit cards generally do not require a PIN . An exception are prepaid credit cards with an EMV chip . These cards do require a PIN if the payment is processed via Chip and PIN technology . After purchasing the card , the cardholder loads the account with any amount of money , up to the predetermined card limit and then uses the card to make purchases the same way as a typical credit card . Prepaid cards can be issued to minors ( above 13 ) since there is no credit line involved . The main advantage over secured credit cards ( see above section ) is that the cardholder is not required to come up with $500 or more to open an account . With prepaid credit cards purchasers are not charged any interest but are often charged a purchasing fee plus monthly fees after an arbitrary time period . Many other fees also usually apply to a prepaid card . Prepaid credit cards are sometimes marketed to teenagers for shopping online without having their parents complete the transaction . Teenagers can only use funds that are available on the card which helps promote financial management to reduce the risk of debt problems later in life . Prepaid cards can be used globally . The prepaid card is convenient for payees in developing countries like Brazil , Russia , India , and China , where international wire transfers and bank checks are time consuming , complicated and costly . Because of the many fees that apply to obtaining and using credit - card - branded prepaid cards , the Financial Consumer Agency of Canada describes them as `` an expensive way to spend your own money '' . The agency publishes a booklet entitled Pre-paid Cards which explains the advantages and disadvantages of this type of prepaid card . Digital cards ( edit ) A digital card is a digital cloud - hosted virtual representation of any kind of identification card or payment card , such as a credit card . Benefits and drawbacks ( edit ) Benefits to cardholder ( edit ) The main benefit to the cardholder is convenience . Compared to debit cards and checks , a credit card allows small short - term loans to be quickly made to a cardholder who need not calculate a balance remaining before every transaction , provided the total charges do not exceed the maximum credit line for the card . Different countries offer different levels of protection . In the UK , for example , the bank is jointly liable with the merchant for purchases of defective products over £ 100 . Many credit cards offer rewards and benefits packages , such as enhanced product warranties at no cost , free loss / damage coverage on new purchases , various insurance protections , for example , rental car insurance , common carrier accident protection , and travel medical insurance . Credit cards can also offer a loyalty program , where each purchase is rewarded with points , which may be redeemed for cash or products . Research has examined whether competition among card networks may potentially make payment rewards too generous , causing higher prices among merchants , thus actually impacting social welfare and its distribution , a situation potentially warranting public policy interventions . Comparison of credit card Benefits in the U.S. ( edit ) The table below contains a list of benefits offered in the United States for consumer credit cards . Benefits may vary in other countries or business credit cards . MasterCard Visa American Express Discover Return Extension 60 days up to $250 90 days up to $250 90 days up to $300 90 days up to $500 Extended Warranty 2x Original up to 1 year depends 1 Additional Year 6 years max 1 Additional Year 4 years max Price Protection 60 days Varies 90 days up to $500 Loss / Damage Coverage 90 days depends 90 days up to $1,000 90 days up to $500 Rental Car Insurance Main article : Damage waiver 15 days : Collision , theft , vandalism 15 days : Collision , theft 30 days : Collision , theft , vandalism 31 days : Collision Detriments to cardholders ( edit ) High interest and Bankruptcy ( edit ) Low introductory credit card rates are limited to a fixed term , usually between 6 and 12 months , after which a higher rate is charged . As all credit cards charge fees and interest , some customers become so indebted to their credit card provider that they are driven to bankruptcy . Some credit cards often levy a rate of 20 to 30 percent after a payment is missed . In other cases , a fixed charge is levied without change to the interest rate . In some cases universal default may apply : the high default rate is applied to a card in good standing by missing a payment on an unrelated account from the same provider . This can lead to a snowball effect in which the consumer is drowned by unexpectedly high interest rates . Further , most card holder agreements enable the issuer to arbitrarily raise the interest rate for any reason they see fit . First Premier Bank at one point offered a credit card with a 79.9 % interest rate ; however , they discontinued this card in February 2011 because of persistent defaults . Complex fee structures in the credit card industry limit customers ' ability to comparison shop , help ensure that the industry is not price - competitive and help maximize industry profits . Research shows that a substantial fraction of consumers ( about 40 percent ) choose a sub-optimal credit card agreement , with some incurring hundreds of dollars of avoidable interest costs . Weakens self regulation ( edit ) Several studies have shown that consumers are likely to spend more money when they pay by credit card . Researchers suggest that when people pay using credit cards , they do not experience the abstract pain of payment . Furthermore , researchers have found that using credit cards can increase consumption of unhealthy food . Detriments to society ( edit ) Inflated pricing for all consumers ( edit ) Merchants that accept credit cards must pay interchange fees and discount fees on all credit - card transactions . In some cases merchants are barred by their credit agreements from passing these fees directly to credit card customers , or from setting a minimum transaction amount ( no longer prohibited in the United States , United Kingdom or Australia ) . The result is that merchants are induced to charge all customers ( including those who do not use credit cards ) higher prices to cover the fees on credit card transactions . The inducement can be strong because the merchant 's fee is a percentage of the sale price , which has a disproportionate effect on the profitability of businesses that have predominantly credit card transactions , unless compensated for by raising prices generally . In the United States in 2008 credit card companies collected a total of $48 billion in interchange fees , or an average of $427 per family , with an average fee rate of about 2 % per transaction . Benefits to merchants ( edit ) An example of street markets accepting credit cards . Most simply display the acceptance marks ( stylized logos , shown in the upper - left corner of the sign ) of all the cards they accept . For merchants , a credit card transaction is often more secure than other forms of payment , such as cheques , because the issuing bank commits to pay the merchant the moment the transaction is authorized , regardless of whether the consumer defaults on the credit card payment ( except for legitimate disputes , which are discussed below , and can result in charges back to the merchant ) . In most cases , cards are even more secure than cash , because they discourage theft by the merchant 's employees and reduce the amount of cash on the premises . Finally , credit cards reduce the back office expense of processing checks / cash and transporting them to the bank . Prior to credit cards , each merchant had to evaluate each customer 's credit history before extending credit . That task is now performed by the banks which assume the credit risk . Credit cards can also aid in securing a sale especially if the customer does not have enough cash on hand or in a checking account . Extra turnover is generated by the fact that the customer can purchase goods and services immediately and is less inhibited by the amount of cash in pocket and the immediate state of the customer 's bank balance . Much of merchants ' marketing is based on this immediacy . For each purchase , the bank charges the merchant a commission ( discount fee ) for this service and there may be a certain delay before the agreed payment is received by the merchant . The commission is often a percentage of the transaction amount , plus a fixed fee ( interchange rate ) . Costs to merchants ( edit ) Merchants are charged several fees for accepting credit cards . The merchant is usually charged a commission of around 1 to 4 percent of the value of each transaction paid for by credit card . The merchant may also pay a variable charge , called a merchant discount rate , for each transaction . In some instances of very low - value transactions , use of credit cards will significantly reduce the profit margin or cause the merchant to lose money on the transaction . Merchants with very low average transaction prices or very high average transaction prices are more averse to accepting credit cards . In some cases merchants may charge users a `` credit card supplement '' ( or surcharge ) , either a fixed amount or a percentage , for payment by credit card . This practice was prohibited by most credit card contracts in the United States until 2013 , when a major settlement between merchants and credit card companies allowed merchants to levy surcharges . Most retailers have not started using credit card surcharges , however , for fear of losing customers . Merchants in the United States have been fighting what they consider to be unfairly high fees charged by credit card companies in a series of lawsuits that started in 2005 . Merchants charged that the two main credit card processing companies , MasterCard and Visa , used their monopoly power to levy excessive fees in a class - action lawsuit involving the National Retail Federation and major retailers such as Wal - Mart . In December 2013 , a federal judge approved a $5.7 billion settlement in the case that offered payouts to merchants who had paid credit card fees , the largest antitrust settlement in U.S. history . Some large retailers , such as Wal - Mart and Amazon , chose to not participate in this settlement , however , and have continued their legal fight against the credit card companies . Merchants are also required to lease or purchase processing equipment , in some cases this equipment is provided free of charge by the processor . Merchants must also satisfy data security compliance standards which are highly technical and complicated . In many cases , there is a delay of several days before funds are deposited into a merchant 's bank account . Because credit card fee structures are very complicated , smaller merchants are at a disadvantage to analyze and predict fees . Finally , merchants assume the risk of chargebacks by consumers . Security ( edit ) Main article : Credit card fraud See also : Wireless identity theft Credit card security relies on the physical security of the plastic card as well as the privacy of the credit card number . Therefore , whenever a person other than the card owner has access to the card or its number , security is potentially compromised . Once , merchants would often accept credit card numbers without additional verification for mail order purchases . It 's now common practice to only ship to confirmed addresses as a security measure to minimise fraudulent purchases . Some merchants will accept a credit card number for in - store purchases , whereupon access to the number allows easy fraud , but many require the card itself to be present , and require a signature . A lost or stolen card can be cancelled , and if this is done quickly , will greatly limit the fraud that can take place in this way . European banks can require a cardholder 's security PIN be entered for in - person purchases with the card . The Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard ( PCI DSS ) is the security standard issued by the Payment Card Industry Security Standards Council ( PCI SSC ) . This data security standard is used by acquiring banks to impose cardholder data security measures upon their merchants . The goal of the credit card companies is not to eliminate fraud , but to `` reduce it to manageable levels '' . This implies that fraud prevention measures will be used only if their cost are lower than the potential gains from fraud reduction , whereas high - cost low - return measures will not be used -- as would be expected from organizations whose goal is profit maximisation . Internet fraud may be by claiming a chargeback which is not justified ( `` friendly fraud '' ) , or carried out by the use of credit card information which can be stolen in many ways , the simplest being copying information from retailers , either online or offline . Despite efforts to improve security for remote purchases using credit cards , security breaches are usually the result of poor practice by merchants . For example , a website that safely uses SSL to encrypt card data from a client may then email the data , unencrypted , from the webserver to the merchant ; or the merchant may store unencrypted details in a way that allows them to be accessed over the Internet or by a rogue employee ; unencrypted card details are always a security risk . Even encrypted data may be cracked . Controlled payment numbers ( also known as virtual credit cards or disposable credit cards ) are another option for protecting against credit card fraud where presentation of a physical card is not required , as in telephone and online purchasing . These are one - time use numbers that function as a payment card and are linked to the user 's real account , but do not reveal details , and can not be used for subsequent unauthorised transactions . They can be valid for a relatively short time , and limited to the actual amount of the purchase or a limit set by the user . Their use can be limited to one merchant . If the number given to the merchant is compromised , it will be rejected if an attempt is made to use it a second time . A similar system of controls can be used on physical cards . Technology provides the option for banks to support many other controls too that can be turned on and off and varied by the credit card owner in real time as circumstances change ( i.e. , they can change temporal , numerical , geographical and many other parameters on their primary and subsidiary cards ) . Apart from the obvious benefits of such controls : from a security perspective this means that a customer can have a Chip and PIN card secured for the real world , and limited for use in the home country . In this eventuality a thief stealing the details will be prevented from using these overseas in non chip and pin EMV countries . Similarly the real card can be restricted from use on - line so that stolen details will be declined if this tried . Then when card users shop online they can use virtual account numbers . In both circumstances an alert system can be built in notifying a user that a fraudulent attempt has been made which breaches their parameters , and can provide data on this in real time . Additionally , there are security features present on the physical card itself in order to prevent counterfeiting . For example , most modern credit cards have a watermark that will fluoresce under ultraviolet light . Most major credit cards have a hologram . A Visa card has a letter V superimposed over the regular Visa logo and a MasterCard has the letters MC across the front of the card . Older Visa cards have a bald eagle or dove across the front . In the aforementioned cases , the security features are only visible under ultraviolet light and are invisible in normal light . The United States Secret Service , Federal Bureau of Investigation , U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement , and U.S. Postal Inspection Service are responsible for prosecuting criminals who engage in credit card fraud in the United States . However , they do not have the resources to pursue all criminals , and in general they only prosecute cases exceeding $5,000 . Three improvements to card security have been introduced to the more common credit card networks , but none has proven to help reduce credit card fraud so far . First , the cards themselves are being replaced with similar - looking tamper - resistant smart cards which are intended to make forgery more difficult . The majority of smart card ( IC card ) based credit cards comply with the EMV ( Europay MasterCard Visa ) standard . Second , an additional 3 or 4 digit card security code ( CSC ) is now present on the back of most cards , for use in card not present transactions . Stakeholders at all levels in electronic payment have recognized the need to develop consistent global standards for security that account for and integrate both current and emerging security technologies . They have begun to address these needs through organisations such as PCI DSS and the Secure POS Vendor Alliance . Code 10 ( edit ) Code 10 calls are made when merchants are suspicious about accepting a credit card . The operator then asks the merchant a series of YES or NO questions to find out whether the merchant is suspicious of the card or the cardholder . The merchant may be asked to retain the card if it is safe to do so . The merchant may receive a reward for returning a confiscated card to the issuing bank , especially if an arrest is made . Costs ( edit ) Credit card issuers ( banks ) have several types of costs : Interest expenses ( edit ) Banks generally borrow the money they then lend to their customers . As they receive very low - interest loans from other firms , they may borrow as much as their customers require , while lending their capital to other borrowers at higher rates . If the card issuer charges 15 % on money lent to users , and it costs 5 % to borrow the money to lend , and the balance sits with the cardholder for a year , the issuer earns 10 % on the loan . This 10 % difference is the `` net interest spread '' and the 5 % is the `` interest expense '' . Operating costs ( edit ) This is the cost of running the credit card portfolio , including everything from paying the executives who run the company to printing the plastics , to mailing the statements , to running the computers that keep track of every cardholder 's balance , to taking the many phone calls which cardholders place to their issuer , to protecting the customers from fraud rings . Depending on the issuer , marketing programs are also a significant portion of expenses . Charge offs ( edit ) When a cardholder becomes severely delinquent on a debt ( often at the point of six months without payment ) , the creditor may declare the debt to be a charge - off . It will then be listed as such on the debtor 's credit bureau reports . ( Equifax , for instance , lists `` R9 '' in the `` status '' column to denote a charge - off . ) A charge - off is considered to be `` written off as uncollectable '' . To banks , bad debts and fraud are part of the cost of doing business . However , the debt is still legally valid , and the creditor can attempt to collect the full amount for the time periods permitted under state law , which is usually three to seven years . This includes contacts from internal collections staff , or more likely , an outside collection agency . If the amount is large ( generally over $1,500 -- 2,000 ) , there is the possibility of a lawsuit or arbitration . Rewards ( edit ) Many credit card customers receive rewards , such as frequent flyer points , gift certificates , or cash back as an incentive to use the card . Rewards are generally tied to purchasing an item or service on the card , which may or may not include balance transfers , cash advances , or other special uses . Depending on the type of card , rewards will generally cost the issuer between 0.25 % and 2.0 % of the spread . Networks such as Visa or MasterCard have increased their fees to allow issuers to fund their rewards system . Some issuers discourage redemption by forcing the cardholder to call customer service for rewards . On their servicing website , redeeming awards is usually a feature that is very well hidden by the issuers . With a fractured and competitive environment , rewards points cut dramatically into an issuer 's bottom line , and rewards points and related incentives must be carefully managed to ensure a profitable portfolio . Unlike unused gift cards , in whose case the breakage in certain US states goes to the state 's treasury , unredeemed credit card points are retained by the issuer . Fraud ( edit ) Main article : Credit card fraud In relative numbers the values lost in bank card fraud are minor , calculated in 2006 at 7 cents per 100 dollars worth of transactions ( 7 basis points ) . In 2004 , in the UK , the cost of fraud was over £ 500 million . When a card is stolen , or an unauthorized duplicate made , most card issuers will refund some or all of the charges that the customer has received for things they did not buy . These refunds will , in some cases , be at the expense of the merchant , especially in mail order cases where the merchant can not claim sight of the card . In several countries , merchants will lose the money if no ID card was asked for , therefore merchants usually require ID card in these countries . Credit card companies generally guarantee the merchant will be paid on legitimate transactions regardless of whether the consumer pays their credit card bill . Most banking services have their own credit card services that handle fraud cases and monitor for any possible attempt at fraud . Employees that are specialized in doing fraud monitoring and investigation are often placed in Risk Management , Fraud and Authorization , or Cards and Unsecured Business . Fraud monitoring emphasizes minimizing fraud losses while making an attempt to track down those responsible and contain the situation . Credit card fraud is a major white collar crime that has been around for many decades , even with the advent of the chip based card ( EMV ) that was put into practice in some countries to prevent cases such as these . Even with the implementation of such measures , credit card fraud continues to be a problem . Revenues ( edit ) Offsetting the costs are the following revenues : Interchange fee ( edit ) Main article : Interchange fee In addition to fees paid by the card holder , merchants must also pay interchange fees to the card - issuing bank and the card association . For a typical credit card issuer , interchange fee revenues may represent about a quarter of total revenues . These fees are typically from 1 to 6 percent of each sale , but will vary not only from merchant to merchant ( large merchants can negotiate lower rates ) , but also from card to card , with business cards and rewards cards generally costing the merchants more to process . The interchange fee that applies to a particular transaction is also affected by many other variables including : the type of merchant , the merchant 's total card sales volume , the merchant 's average transaction amount , whether the cards were physically present , how the information required for the transaction was received , the specific type of card , when the transaction was settled , and the authorized and settled transaction amounts . In some cases , merchants add a surcharge to the credit cards to cover the interchange fee , encouraging their customers to instead use cash , debit cards , or even cheques . Interest on outstanding balances ( edit ) Interest charges vary widely from card issuer to card issuer . Often , there are `` teaser '' rates in effect for initial periods of time ( as low as zero percent for , say , six months ) , whereas regular rates can be as high as 40 percent . In the U.S. there is no federal limit on the interest or late fees credit card issuers can charge ; the interest rates are set by the states , with some states such as South Dakota , having no ceiling on interest rates and fees , inviting some banks to establish their credit card operations there . Other states , for example Delaware , have very weak usury laws . The teaser rate no longer applies if the customer does not pay their bills on time , and is replaced by a penalty interest rate ( for example , 23.99 % ) that applies retroactively . Fees charged to customers ( edit ) The major fees are for : Late or overdue payments Charges that result in exceeding the credit limit on the card ( whether deliberately or by mistake ) , called overlimit fees Returned cheque fees or payment processing fees ( e.g. phone payment fee ) Cash advances and convenience cheques ( often 3 % of the amount ) Transactions in a foreign currency ( as much as 3 % of the amount ) . A few financial institutions do not charge a fee for this . Membership fees ( annual or monthly ) , sometimes a percentage of the credit limit . Exchange rate loading fees ( sometimes these might not be reported on the customer 's statement , even when applied ) . The variation of exchange rates applied by different credit cards can be very substantial , as much as 10 % according to a Lonely Planet report in 2009 . In the U.S. , the Credit CARD Act of 2009 specifies that credit card companies must send cardholders a notice 45 days before they can increase or change certain fees . This includes annual fees , cash advance fees , and late fees . Over limit charges ( edit ) Consumers who keep their account in good order by always staying within their credit limit , and always making at least the minimum monthly payment will see interest as the biggest expense from their card provider . Those who are not so careful and regularly surpass their credit limit or are late in making payments are exposed to multiple charges that were typically as high as £ 25 -- 35 until a ruling from the Office of Fair Trading that they would presume charges over £ 12 to be unfair which led the majority of card providers to reduce their fees to £ 12 . United States ( edit ) The Credit CARD Act of 2009 requires that consumers opt into over-limit charges . Some card issuers have therefore commenced solicitations requesting customers to opt into overlimit fees , presenting this as a benefit as it may avoid the possibility of a future transaction being declined . Other issuers have simply discontinued the practice of charging overlimit fees . Whether a customer opts into the overlimit fee or not , banks will in practice have discretion as to whether they choose to authorize transactions above the credit limit or not . Of course , any approved over limit transactions will only result in an overlimit fee for those customers who have opted into the fee . This legislation took effect on 22 February 2010 . Following this Act , the companies are now required by law to show on a customer 's bills how long it would take them to pay off the balance . United Kingdom ( edit ) The higher fees originally charged were claimed to be designed to recoup the card operator 's overall business costs and to try to ensure that the credit card business as a whole generated a profit , rather than simply recovering the cost to the provider of the limit breach , which has been estimated as typically between £ 3 -- £ 4 . Profiting from a customer 's mistakes is arguably not permitted under UK common law , if the charges constitute penalties for breach of contract , or under the Unfair Terms in Consumer Contracts Regulations 1999 . Subsequent rulings in respect of personal current accounts suggest that the argument that these charges are penalties for breach of contract is weak , and given the Office of Fair Trading 's ruling it seems unlikely that any further test case will take place . Whilst the law remains in the balance , many consumers have made claims against their credit card providers for the charges that they have incurred , plus interest that they would have earned had the money not been deducted from their account . It is likely that claims for amounts charged in excess of £ 12 will succeed , but claims for charges at the OFT 's £ 12 threshold level are more contentious . Neutral consumer resources ( edit ) Canada ( edit ) The Government of Canada maintains a database of the fees , features , interest rates and reward programs of nearly 200 credit cards available in Canada . This database is updated on a quarterly basis with information supplied by the credit card issuing companies . Information in the database is published every quarter on the website of the Financial Consumer Agency of Canada ( FCAC ) . Information in the database is published in two formats . It is available in PDF comparison tables that break down the information according to type of credit card , allowing the reader to compare the features of , for example , all the student credit cards in the database . The database also feeds into an interactive tool on the FCAC website . The interactive tool uses several interview - type questions to build a profile of the user 's credit card usage habits and needs , eliminating unsuitable choices based on the profile , so that the user is presented with a small number of credit cards and the ability to carry out detailed comparisons of features , reward programs , interest rates , etc . Controversy ( edit ) Credit card debt has increased steadily . Since the late 1990s , lawmakers , consumer advocacy groups , college officials and other higher education affiliates have become increasingly concerned about the rising use of credit cards among college students . The major credit card companies have been accused of targeting a younger audience , especially college students , many of whom are already in debt with college tuition fees and college loans and who typically are less experienced at managing their own finances . Credit card debt may also negatively affect their grades as they are likely to work more both part and full - time positions . Another controversial area is the universal default feature of many North American credit card contracts . When a cardholder is late paying a particular credit card issuer , that card 's interest rate can be raised , often considerably . With universal default , a customer 's other credit cards , for which the customer may be current on payments , may also have their rates and credit limit changed . The universal default feature allows creditors to periodically check cardholders ' credit portfolios to view trade , allowing these other institutions to decrease the credit limit or increase rates on cardholders who may be late with another credit card issuer . Being late on one credit card will potentially affect all the cardholder 's credit cards . Citibank voluntarily stopped this practice in March 2007 and Chase stopped the practice in November 2007 . The fact that credit card companies can change the interest rate on debts that were incurred when a different rate of interest was in place is similar to adjustable rate mortgages where interest rates on current debt may rise . However , in both cases , this is agreed to in advance , and is a trade off that allows a lower initial rate as well as the possibility of an even lower rate ( mortgages , if interest rates fall ) or perpetually keeping a below - market rate ( credit cards , if the user makes their debt payments on time ) . The universal default practice was encouraged by federal regulators , particularly those at the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency ( OCC ) , as a means of managing the changing risk profiles of cardholders . Another controversial area is the trailing interest issue . Trailing interest is the practice of charging interest on the entire bill no matter what percentage of it is paid . US Senator Carl Levin raised the issue of millions of Americans affected by hidden fees , compounding interest and cryptic terms . Their woes were heard in a Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations hearing which was chaired by Senator Levin , who said that he intends to keep the spotlight on credit card companies and that legislative action may be necessary to purge the industry . In 2009 , the C.A.R.D. Act was signed into law , enacting protections for many of the issues Levin had raised . In the United States , some have called for Congress to enact additional regulations on the industry to expand the disclosure box clearly disclosing rate hikes , use plain language , incorporate balance payoff disclosures , and also to outlaw universal default . At a congress hearing around 1 March 2007 , Citibank announced it would no longer practice this , effective immediately . Opponents of such regulation argue that customers must become more proactive and self - responsible in evaluating and negotiating terms with credit providers . Some of the nation 's influential top credit card issuers , which are among the top fifty corporate contributors to political campaigns , successfully opposed it . Hidden costs ( edit ) In the United Kingdom , merchants won the right through The Credit Cards ( Price Discrimination ) Order 1990 to charge customers different prices according to the payment method . As of 2007 , the United Kingdom was one of the world 's most credit card - intensive countries , with 2.4 credit cards per consumer , according to the UK Payments Administration Ltd . In the United States until 1984 , federal law prohibited surcharges on card transactions . Although the federal Truth in Lending Act provisions that prohibited surcharges expired that year , a number of states have since enacted laws that continue to outlaw the practice ; California , Colorado , Connecticut , Florida , Kansas , Massachusetts , Maine , New York , Oklahoma , and Texas have laws against surcharges . As of 2006 , the United States probably had one of the world 's highest if not the top ratio of credit cards per capita , with 984 million bank - issued Visa and MasterCard credit card and debit card accounts alone for an adult population of roughly 220 million people . The credit card per US capita ratio was nearly 4 : 1 as of 2003 and as high as 5 : 1 as of 2006 . Credit cards in ATMs ( edit ) Many credit cards can also be used in an ATM to withdraw money against the credit limit extended to the card , but many card issuers charge interest on cash advances before they do so on purchases . The interest on cash advances is commonly charged from the date the withdrawal is made , rather than the monthly billing date . Many card issuers levy a commission for cash withdrawals , even if the ATM belongs to the same bank as the card issuer . Merchants do not offer cashback on credit card transactions because they would pay a percentage commission of the additional cash amount to their bank or merchant services provider , thereby making it uneconomical . Discover is a notable exception to the above . A customer with a Discover card may get up to $120 cash back if the merchant allows it . This amount is simply added to the card holder 's cost of the transaction and no extra fees are charged as the transaction is not considered a cash advance . Many credit card companies will also , when applying payments to a card , do so , for the matter at hand , at the end of a billing cycle , and apply those payments to everything before cash advances . For this reason , many consumers have large cash balances , which have no grace period and incur interest at a rate that is ( usually ) higher than the purchase rate , and will carry those balances for years , even if they pay off their statement balance each month . Credit cards as funding for entrepreneurs ( edit ) Credit cards are a risky way for entrepreneurs to acquire capital for their start ups when more conventional financing is unavailable . Len Bosack and Sandy Lerner used personal credit cards to start Cisco Systems . Larry Page and Sergey Brin 's start up of Google was financed by credit cards to buy the necessary computers and office equipment , more specifically `` a terabyte of hard disks '' . Similarly , filmmaker Robert Townsend financed part of Hollywood Shuffle using credit cards . Director Kevin Smith funded Clerks in part by maxing out several credit cards . Actor Richard Hatch also financed his production of Battlestar Galactica : The Second Coming partly through his credit cards . Famed hedge fund manager Bruce Kovner began his career ( and , later on , his firm Caxton Associates ) in financial markets by borrowing from his credit card . UK entrepreneur James Caan ( as seen on Dragons ' Den ) financed his first business using several credit cards . Problems ( edit ) Travellers from the U.S. had encountered problems abroad because many countries have introduced smart cards , but the U.S. had not . As of 2010 , the U.S. banking system had not updated the cards and associated readers in the U.S. , stating that the costs were prohibitive . As of 2015 , the smart cards had been introduced and put into use in the United States . Other problems with credit cards have involved mis - sold policies on top of the products , such as the additional mis - sold policies which is still causing problems for clients in the UK .

The negligible S - wave velocity in the outer core occurs because it is liquid , while in the solid inner core the S - wave velocity is non-zero . Seismic waves are waves of energy that travel through the Earth 's layers , and are a result of earthquakes , volcanic eruptions , magma movement , large landslides and large man - made explosions that give out low - frequency acoustic energy . Many other natural and anthropogenic sources create low - amplitude waves commonly referred to as ambient vibrations . Seismic waves are studied by geophysicists called seismologists . Seismic wave fields are recorded by a seismometer , hydrophone ( in water ) , or accelerometer . The propagation velocity of the waves depends on density and elasticity of the medium . Velocity tends to increase with depth and ranges from approximately 2 to 8 km / s in the Earth 's crust , up to 13 km / s in the deep mantle . Earthquakes create distinct types of waves with different velocities ; when reaching seismic observatories , their different travel times help scientists to locate the source of the hypocenter . In geophysics the refraction or reflection of seismic waves is used for research into the structure of the Earth 's interior , and man - made vibrations are often generated to investigate shallow , subsurface structures .

Other modes of wave propagation exist than those described in this article ; though of comparatively minor importance for earth - borne waves , they are important in the case of asteroseismology . Body waves travel through the interior of the Earth . Surface waves travel across the surface . Surface waves decay more slowly with distance than body waves , which travel in three dimensions . Particle motion of surface waves is larger than that of body waves , so surface waves tend to cause more damage . Body waves ( edit ) Body waves travel through the interior of the Earth along paths controlled by the material properties in terms of density and modulus ( stiffness ) . The density and modulus , in turn , vary according to temperature , composition , and material phase . This effect resembles the refraction of light waves . Two types of particle motion result in two types of body waves : Primary and Secondary waves . Primary waves ( edit ) Main article : P - wave Primary waves ( P - waves ) are compressional waves that are longitudinal in nature . P waves are pressure waves that travel faster than other waves through the earth to arrive at seismograph stations first , hence the name `` Primary '' . These waves can travel through any type of material , including fluids , and can travel nearly 1.7 times faster than the S waves . In air , they take the form of sound waves , hence they travel at the speed of sound . Typical speeds are 330 m / s in air , 1450 m / s in water and about 5000 m / s in granite . Secondary waves ( edit ) Main article : S - wave Secondary waves ( S - waves ) are shear waves that are transverse in nature . Following an earthquake event , S - waves arrive at seismograph stations after the faster - moving P - waves and displace the ground perpendicular to the direction of propagation . Depending on the propagational direction , the wave can take on different surface characteristics ; for example , in the case of horizontally polarized S waves , the ground moves alternately to one side and then the other . S - waves can travel only through solids , as fluids ( liquids and gases ) do not support shear stresses . S - waves are slower than P - waves , and speeds are typically around 60 % of that of P - waves in any given material . Surface waves ( edit ) Seismic surface waves travel along the Earth 's surface . They can be classified as a form of mechanical surface waves . They are called surface waves , as they diminish as they get further from the surface . They travel more slowly than seismic body waves ( P and S ) . In large earthquakes , surface waves can have an amplitude of several centimeters . Rayleigh waves ( edit ) Main article : Rayleigh wave Rayleigh waves , also called ground roll , are surface waves that travel as ripples with motions that are similar to those of waves on the surface of water ( note , however , that the associated particle motion at shallow depths is retrograde , and that the restoring force in Rayleigh and in other seismic waves is elastic , not gravitational as for water waves ) . The existence of these waves was predicted by John William Strutt , Lord Rayleigh , in 1885 . They are slower than body waves , roughly 90 % of the velocity of S waves for typical homogeneous elastic media . In a layered medium ( like the crust and upper mantle ) the velocity of the Rayleigh waves depends on their frequency and wavelength . See also Lamb waves . Love waves ( edit ) Main article : Love wave Love waves are horizontally polarized shear waves ( SH waves ) , existing only in the presence of a semi-infinite medium overlain by an upper layer of finite thickness . They are named after A.E.H. Love , a British mathematician who created a mathematical model of the waves in 1911 . They usually travel slightly faster than Rayleigh waves , about 90 % of the S wave velocity , and have the largest amplitude . Stoneley waves ( edit ) Main article : Stoneley wave A Stoneley wave is a type of boundary wave ( or interface wave ) that propagates along a solid - fluid boundary or , under specific conditions , also along a solid - solid boundary . Amplitudes of Stoneley waves have their maximum values at the boundary between the two contacting media and decay exponentially towards the depth of each of them . These waves can be generated along the walls of a fluid - filled borehole , being an important source of coherent noise in VSPs and making up the low frequency component of the source in sonic logging . The equation for Stoneley waves was first given by Dr. Robert Stoneley ( 1894 -- 1976 ) , Emeritus Professor of Seismology , Cambridge . Free oscillations of the Earth ( edit ) The sense of motion for toroidal T oscillation for two moments of time . The scheme of motion for spheroidal S oscillation. Dashed lines give nodal ( zero ) lines . Arrows give the sense of motion . Free oscillations of the Earth are standing waves , the result of interference between two surface waves traveling in opposite directions . Interference of Rayleigh waves results in spheroidal oscillation S while interference of Love waves gives toroidal oscillation T . The modes of oscillations are specified by three numbers , e.g. , S , where l is the angular order number ( or spherical harmonic degree , see Spherical harmonics for more details ) . The number m is the azimuthal order number . It may take on 2l + 1 values from - l to + l . The number n is the radial order number . It means the wave with n zero crossings in radius . For spherically symmetric Earth the period for given n and l does not depend on m . Some examples of spheroidal oscillations are the `` breathing '' mode S , which involves an expansion and contraction of the whole Earth , and has a period of about 20 minutes ; and the `` rugby '' mode S , which involves expansions along two alternating directions , and has a period of about 54 minutes . The mode S does not exist because it would require a change in the center of gravity , which would require an external force . Of the fundamental toroidal modes , T represents changes in Earth 's rotation rate ; although this occurs , it is much too slow to be useful in seismology . The mode T describes a twisting of the northern and southern hemispheres relative to each other ; it has a period of about 44 minutes . The first observations of free oscillations of the Earth were done during the great 1960 earthquake in Chile . Presently periods of thousands modes are known . These data are used for determining some large scale structures of the Earth interior . P and S waves in Earth 's mantle and core ( edit ) When an earthquake occurs , seismographs near the epicenter are able to record both P and S waves , but those at a greater distance no longer detect the high frequencies of the first S wave . Since shear waves can not pass through liquids , this phenomenon was original evidence for the now well - established observation that the Earth has a liquid outer core , as demonstrated by Richard Dixon Oldham . This kind of observation has also been used to argue , by seismic testing , that the Moon has a solid core , although recent geodetic studies suggest the core is still molten . Notation ( edit ) Earthquake wave paths The path that a wave takes between the focus and the observation point is often drawn as a ray diagram . An example of this is shown in a figure above . When reflections are taken into account there are an infinite number of paths that a wave can take . Each path is denoted by a set of letters that describe the trajectory and phase through the Earth . In general an upper case denotes a transmitted wave and a lower case denotes a reflected wave . The two exceptions to this seem to be `` g '' and `` n '' . the wave reflects off the outer core d a wave that has been reflected off a discontinuity at depth d g a wave that only travels through the crust i a wave that reflects off the inner core a P - wave in the inner core h a reflection off a discontinuity in the inner core an S wave in the inner core a P - wave in the outer core a Love wave sometimes called LT - Wave ( Both caps , while an Lt is different ) n a wave that travels along the boundary between the crust and mantle a P wave in the mantle p a P wave ascending to the surface from the focus a Rayleigh wave an S wave in the mantle s an S wave ascending to the surface from the focus w the wave reflects off the bottom of the ocean No letter is used when the wave reflects off of the surfaces For example : ScP is a wave that begins traveling towards the center of the Earth as an S wave . Upon reaching the outer core the wave reflects as a P wave . sPKIKP is a wave path that begins traveling towards the surface as an S - wave . At the surface it reflects as a P - wave . The P - wave then travels through the outer core , the inner core , the outer core , and the mantle . Usefulness of P and S waves in locating an event ( edit ) The Hypocenter / Epicenter of an earthquake is calculated by using the seismic data of that earthquake from at least three different locations . In the case of local or nearby earthquakes , the difference in the arrival times of the P and S waves can be used to determine the distance to the event . In the case of earthquakes that have occurred at global distances , three or more geographically diverse observing stations ( using a common clock ) recording P - wave arrivals permits the computation of a unique time and location on the planet for the event . Typically , dozens or even hundreds of P - wave arrivals are used to calculate hypocenters . The misfit generated by a hypocenter calculation is known as `` the residual '' . Residuals of 0.5 second or less are typical for distant events , residuals of 0.1 -- 0.2 s typical for local events , meaning most reported P arrivals fit the computed hypocenter that well . Typically a location program will start by assuming the event occurred at a depth of about 33 km ; then it minimizes the residual by adjusting depth . Most events occur at depths shallower than about 40 km , but some occur as deep as 700 km . P - and S - waves sharing with the propagation A quick way to determine the distance from a location to the origin of a seismic wave less than 200 km away is to take the difference in arrival time of the P wave and the S wave in seconds and multiply by 8 kilometers per second . Modern seismic arrays use more complicated earthquake location techniques . At teleseismic distances , the first arriving P waves have necessarily travelled deep into the mantle , and perhaps have even refracted into the outer core of the planet , before travelling back up to the Earth 's surface where the seismographic stations are located . The waves travel more quickly than if they had traveled in a straight line from the earthquake . This is due to the appreciably increased velocities within the planet , and is termed Huygens ' Principle . Density in the planet increases with depth , which would slow the waves , but the modulus of the rock increases much more , so deeper means faster . Therefore , a longer route can take a shorter time . The travel time must be calculated very accurately in order to compute a precise hypocenter . Since P waves move at many kilometers per second , being off on travel - time calculation by even a half second can mean an error of many kilometers in terms of distance . In practice , P arrivals from many stations are used and the errors cancel out , so the computed epicenter is likely to be quite accurate , on the order of 10 -- 50 km or so around the world . Dense arrays of nearby sensors such as those that exist in California can provide accuracy of roughly a kilometer , and much greater accuracy is possible when timing is measured directly by cross-correlation of seismogram waveforms .

Angkor Wat , Cambodia , below , is also one of the largest Hindu temples in the world . A Hindu temple , also known as mandir and kshetra , is a structure designed to bring human beings and gods together , using symbolism to express the ideas and beliefs of Hinduism . The symbolism and structure of a Hindu temple are rooted in Vedic traditions . A temple incorporates all elements of Hindu cosmos -- presenting the good , the evil and the human , as well as the elements of Hindu sense of cyclic time and the essence of life -- symbolically presenting dharma , kama , artha , moksa , and karma . The spiritual principles symbolically represented in Hindu temples are given in the ancient Sanskrit texts of India ( for example , Vedas and Upanishads ) , while their structural rules are described in various ancient Sanskrit treatises on architecture ( Brhat Samhita , Vastu Sastras ) . The layout , the motifs , the plan and the building process recite ancient rituals , geometric symbolisms , and reflect beliefs and values innate within various schools of Hinduism . A Hindu temple is a spiritual destination for many Hindus , as well as landmarks around which ancient arts , community celebrations and economy have flourished . Hindu temples come in many styles , are situated in diverse locations , deploy different construction methods and are adapted to different deities and regional beliefs , yet almost all of them share certain core ideas , symbolism and themes . They are found in South Asia particularly India and Nepal , in southeast Asian countries such as Cambodia , Vietnam and islands of Indonesia and Malaysia and countries such as Fiji , Mauritius , Guyana , Trinidad and Tobago , the Caribbean , Suriname , South Africa , Europe and North America with a significant Hindu community . The current state and outer appearance of Hindu temples reflect arts , materials and designs as they evolved over several millennia ; they also reflect the effect of conflicts between Hinduism and Islam since the 12th century . The Swaminarayanan Akshardham in Robbinsville , New Jersey , United States , within the New York City Metropolitan Area , was inaugurated in 2014 as the world 's largest Hindu temple .

It is a link between man , deities , and the Universal Purusa in a sacred space . The 9x9 ( 81 ) grid ' ' Parama Sayika ' ' layout plan ( above ) found in large ceremonial Hindu Temples . It is one of many grids used to build Hindu temples . In this structure of symmetry , each concentric layer has significance . The outermost layer , Paisachika padas , signify aspects of Asuras and evil ; while inner Devika padas signify aspects of Devas and good . In between the good and evil is the concentric layer of Manusha padas signifying human life ; All these layers surround Brahma padas , which signifies creative energy and the site for temple 's primary idol for darsana . Finally at the very center of Brahma padas is Grabhgriya ( Purusa Space ) , signifying Universal Principle present in everything and everyone . In ancient Indian texts , a temple is a place for Tirtha - pilgrimage . It is a sacred site whose ambience and design attempts to symbolically condense the ideal tenets of Hindu way of life . All the cosmic elements that create and sustain life are present in a Hindu temple - from fire to water , from images of nature to deities , from the feminine to the masculine , from the fleeting sounds and incense smells to the eternal nothingness yet universality at the core of the temple . Susan Lewandowski states that the underlying principle in a Hindu temple is built around the belief that all things are one , everything is connected . The pilgrim is welcomed through 64 - grid or 81 - grid mathematically structured spaces , a network of art , pillars with carvings and statues that display and celebrate the four important and necessary principles of human life - the pursuit of artha ( prosperity , wealth ) , the pursuit of kama ( pleasure , sex ) , the pursuit of dharma ( virtues , ethical life ) and the pursuit of moksha ( release , self - knowledge ) . At the center of the temple , typically below and sometimes above or next to the deity , is mere hollow space with no decoration , symbolically representing Purusa , the Supreme Principle , the sacred Universal , one without form , which is present everywhere , connects everything , and is the essence of everyone . A Hindu temple is meant to encourage reflection , facilitate purification of one 's mind , and trigger the process of inner realization within the devotee . The specific process is left to the devotee 's school of belief . The primary deity of different Hindu temples varies to reflect this spiritual spectrum . In Hindu tradition , there is no dividing line between the secular and the sacred . In the same spirit , Hindu temples are not just sacred spaces , they are also secular spaces . Their meaning and purpose have extended beyond spiritual life to social rituals and daily life , offering thus a social meaning . Some temples have served as a venue to mark festivals , to celebrate arts through dance and music , to get married or commemorate marriages , commemorate the birth of a child , other significant life events , or mark the death of a loved one . In political and economic life , Hindu temples have served as a venue for the succession within dynasties and landmarks around which economic activity thrived . Forms and designs of Hindu temples ( edit ) Main article : Hindu temple architecture Almost all Hindu temples take two forms : a house or a palace . A house - themed temple is a simple shelter which serves as a deity 's home . The temple is a place where the devotee visits , just like he or she would visit a friend or relative . In Bhakti school of Hinduism , temples are venues for puja , which is a hospitality ritual , where the deity is the honored , and where devotee calls upon , attends to and connects with the deity . In other schools of Hinduism , the person may simply perform jap , or meditation , or yoga , or introspection in his or her temple . Palace - themed temples often incorporate more elaborate and monumental architecture . Site ( edit ) The appropriate site for a temple , suggest ancient Sanskrit texts , is near water and gardens , where lotus and flowers bloom , where swans , ducks and other birds are heard , where animals rest without fear of injury or harm . These harmonious places were recommended in these texts with the explanation that such are the places where gods play , and thus the best site for Hindu temples . Hindu temple sites cover a wide range . The most common sites are those near water bodies , embedded in nature , such as the above at Badami , Karnataka . The gods always play where lakes are , where the sun 's rays are warded off by umbrellas of lotus leaf clusters , and where clear waterpaths are made by swans whose breasts toss the white lotus hither and thither , where swans , ducks , curleys and paddy birds are heard , and animals rest nearby in the shade of Nicula trees on the river banks . The gods always play where rivers have for their braclets the sound of curleys and the voice of swans for their speech , water as their garment , carps for their zone , the flowering trees on their banks as earrings , the confluence of rivers as their hips , raised sand banks as breasts and plumage of swans their mantle . The gods always play where groves are near , rivers , mountains and springs , and in towns with pleasure gardens . -- Brhat Samhita 1.60. 4 - 8 , 6th Century CE While major Hindu temples are recommended at sangams ( confluence of rivers ) , river banks , lakes and seashore , Brhat Samhita and Puranas suggest temples may also be built where a natural source of water is not present . Here too , they recommend that a pond be built preferably in front or to the left of the temple with water gardens . If water is neither present naturally nor by design , water is symbolically present at the consecration of temple or the deity . Temples may also be built , suggests Visnudharmottara in Part III of Chapter 93 , inside caves and carved stones , on hill tops affording peaceful views , mountain slopes overlooking beautiful valleys , inside forests and hermitages , next to gardens , or at the head of a town street . Manuals ( edit ) Ancient builders of Hindu temples created manuals of architecture , called Vastu - Sastra ( literally `` science '' of dwelling ; vas - tu is a composite Sanskrit word ; vas means `` reside '' , tu means `` you '' ) ; these contain Vastu - Vidya ( literally , knowledge of dwelling ) . There exist many Vastu - Sastras on the art of building temples , such as one by Thakkura Pheru , describing where and how temples should be built . By the 6th century AD , Sanskrit manuals for constructing palatial temples were in circulation in India . Vastu - Sastra manuals included chapters on home construction , town planning , and how efficient villages , towns and kingdoms integrated temples , water bodies and gardens within them to achieve harmony with nature . While it is unclear , states Barnett , as to whether these temple and town planning texts were theoretical studies and if or when they were properly implemented in practice , the manuals suggest that town planning and Hindu temples were conceived as ideals of art and integral part of Hindu social and spiritual life . Ancient India produced many Sanskrit manuals for Hindu temple design and construction , covering arrangement of spaces ( above ) to every aspect of its completion . Yet , the Silpins were given wide latitude to experiment and express their creativity . The Silpa Prakasa of Odisha , authored by Ramacandra Bhattaraka Kaulacara sometime in ninth or tenth century CE , is another Sanskrit treatise on Temple Architecture . Silpa Prakasa describes the geometric principles in every aspect of the temple and symbolism such as 16 emotions of human beings carved as 16 types of female figures . These styles were perfected in Hindu temples prevalent in eastern states of India . Other ancient texts found expand these architectural principles , suggesting that different parts of India developed , invented and added their own interpretations . For example , in Saurastra tradition of temple building found in western states of India , the feminine form , expressions and emotions are depicted in 32 types of Nataka - stri compared to 16 types described in Silpa Prakasa . Silpa Prakasa provides brief introduction to 12 types of Hindu temples . Other texts , such as Pancaratra Prasada Prasadhana compiled by Daniel Smith and Silpa Ratnakara compiled by Narmada Sankara provide a more extensive list of Hindu temple types . Ancient Sanskrit manuals for temple construction discovered in Rajasthan , in northwestern region of India , include Sutradhara Mandana 's Prasadamandana ( literally , manual for planning and building a temple ) . Manasara , a text of South Indian origin , estimated to be in circulation by the 7th century AD , is a guidebook on South Indian temple design and construction . Isanasivagurudeva paddhati is another Sanskrit text from the 9th century describing the art of temple building in India in south and central India . In north India , Brihat - samhita by Varāhamihira is the widely cited ancient Sanskrit manual from 6th century describing the design and construction of Nagara style of Hindu temples . Elements of a Hindu temple in Kalinga style . There are many Hindu temple styles , but they almost universally share common geometric principles , symbolism of ideas , and expression of core beliefs . The plan ( edit ) A Hindu temple design follows a geometrical design called vastu - purusha - mandala . The name is a composite Sanskrit word with three of the most important components of the plan . Mandala means circle , Purusha is universal essence at the core of Hindu tradition , while Vastu means the dwelling structure . Vastupurushamandala is a yantra . The design lays out a Hindu temple in a symmetrical , self - repeating structure derived from central beliefs , myths , cardinality and mathematical principles . The four cardinal directions help create the axis of a Hindu temple , around which is formed a perfect square in the space available . The circle of mandala circumscribes the square . The square is considered divine for its perfection and as a symbolic product of knowledge and human thought , while circle is considered earthly , human and observed in everyday life ( moon , sun , horizon , water drop , rainbow ) . Each supports the other . The square is divided into perfect 64 ( or in some cases 81 ) sub-squares called padas . Each pada is conceptually assigned to a symbolic element , sometimes in the form of a deity . The central square ( s ) of the 64 or 81 grid is dedicated to the Brahman ( not to be confused with Brahmin ) , and are called Brahma padas . The 8x8 ( 64 ) grid Manduka Hindu Temple Floor Plan , according to Vastupurusamandala . The 64 grid is the most sacred and common Hindu temple template . The bright saffron center , where diagonals intersect above , represents the Purusha of Hindu philosophy . The 49 grid design is called Sthandila and of great importance in creative expressions of Hindu temples in South India , particularly in ' ' Prakaras ' ' . The symmetric Vastu - purusa - mandala grids are sometimes combined to form a temple superstructure with two or more attached squares . The temples face sunrise , and the entrance for the devotee is typically this east side . The mandala pada facing sunrise is dedicated to Surya deity ( Sun ) . The Surya pada is flanked by the padas of Satya ( Truth ) deity on one side and Indra ( king of gods ) deity on other . The east and north faces of most temples feature a mix of gods and demi - gods ; while west and south feature demons and demi - gods related to the underworld . This vastu purusha mandala plan and symbolism is systematically seen in ancient Hindu temples on Indian subcontinent as well as those in southeast Asia , with regional creativity and variations . Beneath the mandala 's central square ( s ) is the space for the formless shapeless all pervasive all connecting Universal Spirit , the highest reality , the purusha . This space is sometimes referred to as garbha - griya ( literally womb house ) - a small , perfect square , windowless , enclosed space without ornamentation that represents universal essence . In or near this space is typically a murti ( idol ) . This is the main deity idol , and this varies with each temple . Often it is this idol that gives the temple a local name , such as Visnu temple , Krishna temple , Rama temple , Narayana temple , Siva temple , Lakshmi temple , Ganesha temple , Durga temple , Hanuman temple , Surya temple , and others . It is this garbha - griya which devotees seek for ' ' darsana ' ' ( literally , a sight of knowledge , or vision ) . Above the vastu - purusha - mandala is a superstructure with a dome called Shikhara in north India , and Vimana in south India , that stretches towards the sky . Sometimes , in makeshift temples , the dome may be replaced with symbolic bamboo with few leaves at the top . The vertical dimension 's cupola or dome is designed as a pyramid , conical or other mountain - like shape , once again using principle of concentric circles and squares ( see below ) . Scholars suggest that this shape is inspired by cosmic mountain of Meru or Himalayan Kailasa , the abode of gods according to Vedic mythology . A Hindu temple has a Shikhara ( Vimana or Spire ) that rises symmetrically above the central core of the temple . These spires come in many designs and shapes , but they all have mathematical precision and geometric symbolism . One of the common principles found in Hindu temple spires is circles and turning - squares theme ( left ) , and a concentric layering design ( right ) that flows from one to the other as it rises towards the sky . In larger temples , the central space typically is surrounded by an ambulatory for the devotee to walk around and ritually circumambulate the Purusa , the universal essence . Often this space is visually decorated with carvings , paintings or images meant to inspire the devotee . In some temples , these images may be stories from Hindu Epics , in others they may be Vedic tales about right and wrong or virtues and vice , in some they may be idols of minor or regional deities . The pillars , walls and ceilings typically also have highly ornate carvings or images of the four just and necessary pursuits of life - kama , artha , dharma and moksa . This walk around is called pradakshina . Large temples also have pillared halls called mandapa . One on the east side , serves as the waiting room for pilgrims and devotees . The mandapa may be a separate structure in older temples , but in newer temples this space is integrated into the temple superstructure . Mega temple sites have a main temple surrounded by smaller temples and shrines , but these are still arranged by principles of symmetry , grids and mathematical precision . An important principle found in the layout of Hindu temples is mirroring and repeating fractal - like design structure , each unique yet also repeating the central common principle , one which Susan Lewandowski refers to as `` an organism of repeating cells '' .

The left is from Vijayanagar in Karnataka , the right is from Pushkar in Rajasthan . The ancient texts on Hindu temple design , the Vastupurusamandala and Vastu Sastras , do not limit themselves to the design of a Hindu temple . They describe the temple as a holistic part of its community , and lay out various principles and a diversity of alternate designs for home , village and city layout along with the temple , gardens , water bodies and nature . Exceptions to the square grid principle Predominant number of Hindu temples exhibit the perfect square grid principle . However , there are some exceptions . For example , the Teli - ka - mandir in Gwalior , built in the 8th century CE is not a square but is a rectangle in 2 : 3 proportion . Further , the temple explores a number of structures and shrines in 1 : 1 , 1 : 2 , 1 : 3 , 2 : 5 , 3 : 5 and 4 : 5 ratios . These ratios are exact , suggesting the architect intended to use these harmonic ratios , and the rectangle pattern was not a mistake , nor an arbitrary approximation . Other examples of non-square harmonic ratios are found at Naresar temple site of Madhya Pradesh and Nakti - Mata temple near Jaipur , Rajasthan . Michael Meister suggests that these exceptions mean the ancient Sanskrit manuals for temple building were guidelines , and Hinduism permitted its artisans flexibility in expression and aesthetic independence . The symbolism ( edit ) A Hindu temple is a symbolic reconstruction of the universe and universal principles that make everything in it function . The temples reflect Hindu philosophy and its diverse views on cosmos and Truths . Hinduism has no traditional ecclesiastical order , no centralized religious authorities , no governing body , no prophet ( s ) nor any binding holy book ; Hindus can choose to be polytheistic , pantheistic , monistic , or atheistic . Within this diffuse and open structure , spirituality in Hindu philosophy is an individual experience , and referred to as kṣaitrajña ( Sanskrit : क्षैत्रज्ञ ) . It defines spiritual practice as one 's journey towards moksha , awareness of self , the discovery of higher truths , true nature of reality , and a consciousness that is liberated and content . A Hindu temple reflects these core beliefs . The central core of almost all Hindu temples is not a large communal space ; the temple is designed for the individual , a couple or a family - a small , private space where he or she experiences darsana . Darsana is itself a symbolic word . In ancient Hindu scripts , darsana is the name of six methods or alternate viewpoints of understanding Truth . These are Nyaya , Vaisesika , Sankhya , Yoga , Mimamsa and Vedanta - each of which flowered into their own schools of Hinduism , each of which are considered valid , alternate paths to understanding Truth and realizing Self in the Hindu way of life . Kāma is celebrated in some Hindu temples , such as Khajuraho and the Konark Temple ( above ) . From names to forms , from images to stories carved into the walls of a temple , symbolism is everywhere in a Hindu temple . Life principles such as the pursuit of joy , sex , connection and emotional pleasure ( kama ) are fused into mystical , erotic and architectural forms in Hindu temples . These motifs and principles of human life are part of the sacred texts of Hindu , such as its Upanishads ; the temples express these same principles in a different form , through art and spaces . For example , Brihadaranyaka Upanisad at 4.3. 21 , recites : In the embrace of his beloved a man forgets the whole world , everything both within and without ; in the same way , he who embraces the Self , knows neither within nor without . -- Brihadaranyaka Upanishad , 7th Century BC The architecture of Hindu temples is also symbolic . The whole structure fuses the daily life and it surroundings with the divine concepts , through a structure that is open yet raised on a terrace , transitioning from the secular towards the sacred , inviting the visitor inwards towards the Brahma pada and temple 's central core , as well as lifting him upwards into a symbolic space marked by its spire ( shikhara , vimana ) . The ancient temples had grand intricately carved entrances but no doors , and lacked a boundary wall . In most cultures , suggests Edmund Leach , a boundary and gateway separates the secular and the sacred , and this gateway door is grand . In Hindu tradition , this is discarded in favor of an open and diffusive architecture , where the secular world was not separated from the sacred , but transitioned and flowed into the sacred . The Hindu temple has structural walls , which were patterned usually within the 64 grid , or other geometric layouts . Yet the layout was open on all sides , except for the core space which had just one opening for darsana . The temple space is laid out in a series of courts ( mandappas ) . The outermost regions may incorporate the negative and suffering side of life with symbolism of evil , asuras and rakshashas ( demons ) ; but in small temples this layer is dispensed with . When present , this outer region diffuse into the next inner layer that bridges as human space , followed by another inner Devika padas space and symbolic arts incorporating the positive and joyful side of life about the good and the gods . This divine space then concentrically diffuses inwards and lifts the guest to the core of the temple , where resides the main idol as well as the space for the Purusa and ideas held to be most sacred principles in Hindu tradition . The symbolism in the arts and temples of Hinduism , suggests Edmund Leach , is similar to those in Christianity and other major religions of the world . The teams that built Hindu temples ( edit ) Inside Hindu temples Shrine inside temple complex Ramayana scene along padas Outer hall , Rameswaram Center , Hoysaleswara Ancient Indian texts call the craftsmen and builders of temples as ' ' Silpin ' ' ( Sanskrit : शिल्पिन् ) , derived from ' ' Silpa ' ' . One of earliest mentions of Sanskrit word Silpa is in Atharvaveda , from about 1000 BC , which scholars have translated as any work of art . Other scholars suggest that the word Silpa has no direct one word translation in English , nor does the word ' ' Silpin ' ' . Silpa , explains Stella Kramrisch , is a multicolored word and incorporates art , skill , craft , ingenuity , imagination , form , expression and inventiveness of any art or craft . Similarly a Shilpin , notes Kramrisch , is a complex Sanskrit word , describing any person who embodies art , science , culture , skill , rhythm and employs creative principles to produce any divine form of expression . Silpins who built Hindu temples , as well as the art works and sculpture within them , were considered by the ancient Sanskrit texts to deploy arts whose number are unlimited , Kala ( techniques ) that were 64 in number , and Vidya ( science ) that were of 32 types . The Hindu manuals of temple construction describe the education , characteristics of good artists and architects . The general education of a Hindu Shilpin in ancient India included Lekha or Lipi ( alphabet , reading and writing ) , Rupa ( drawing and geometry ) , Ganana ( arithmetic ) . These were imparted from age 5 to 12 . The advanced students would continue in higher stages of Shilpa Sastra studies till the age of 25 . Apart from specialist technical competence , the manuals suggest that best Silpins for building a Hindu temple are those who know the essence of Vedas and Agamas , consider themselves as students , keep well verse with principles of traditional sciences and mathematics , painting and geography . Further they are kind , free from jealousy , righteous , have their sense under control , of happy disposition , and ardent in everything they do . According to Silparatna , a Hindu temple project would start with a Yajamana ( patron ) , and include a Sthapaka ( guru , spiritual guide and architect - priest ) , a Sthapati ( architect ) who would design the building , a Sutragrahin ( surveyor ) , and many Vardhakins ( workers , masons , painters , plasterers , overseers ) and Taksakas ( sculptors ) . While the temple is under construction , all those working on the temple were revered and considered sacerdotal by the patron as well as others witnessing the construction . Further , it was a tradition that all tools and materials used in temple building and all creative work had the sanction of a sacrament . For example , if a carpenter or sculptor needed to fell a tree or cut a rock from a hill , he would propitiate the tree or rock with prayers , seeking forgiveness for cutting it from its surroundings , and explaining his intent and purpose . The axe used to cut the tree would be anointed with butter to minimize the hurt to the tree . Even in modern times , in some parts of India such as Odisha , Visvakarma Puja is a ritual festival every year where the craftsmen and artists worship their arts , tools and materials . Social functions of Hindu temples ( edit ) Hindu temples served as nuclei of important social , economic , artistic and intellectual functions in ancient and medieval India . Burton Stein states that South Indian temples managed regional development function , such as irrigation projects , land reclamation , post-disaster relief and recovery . These activities were paid for by the donations ( melvarum ) they collected from devotees . Temples also managed lands endowed to it by its devotees upon their death . They would provide employment to the poorest . Some temples had large treasury , with gold and silver coins , and these temples served as banks . In contemporary times , the process of building a Hindu temple by emigrants and diasporas from South Asia has also served as a process of building a community , a social venue to network , reduce prejudice and seek civil rights together . Library of manuscripts ( edit ) Types of Hindu temples Cave temple Forest temple Mountain temple Seashore temple John Guy and Jorrit Britschgi state Hindu temples served as centers where ancient manuscripts were routinely used for learning and where the texts were copied when they wore out . In South India , temples and associated mutts served custodial functions , and a large number of manuscripts on Hindu philosophy , poetry , grammar and other subjects were written , multiplied and preserved inside the temples . Archaeological and epigraphical evidence indicates existence of libraries called Sarasvati - bhandara , dated possibly to early 12th - century and employing librarians , attached to Hindu temples . Palm - leaf manuscripts called lontar in dedicated stone libraries have been discovered by archaeologists at Hindu temples in Bali Indonesia and in 10th century Cambodian temples such as Angkor Wat and Banteay Srei . Temple schools ( edit ) Inscriptions from 4th century CE suggest the existence of schools around Hindu temples , called Ghatikas or Mathas , where the Vedas were studied . In south India , 9th century Vedic schools attached to Hindu temples were called Calai or Salai , and these provided free boarding and lodging to students and scholars . The temples linked to Bhakti movement in the early 2nd millennium , were dominated by non-Brahmins . These assumed many educational functions , including the exposition , recitation and public discourses of Sanskrit and Vedic texts . Some temple schools offered wide range of studies , ranging from Hindu scriptures to Buddhist texts , grammar , philosophy , martial arts , music and painting . By the 8th century , Hindu temples also served as the social venue for tests , debates , team competition and Vedic recitals called Anyonyam . Styles ( edit ) Hindu temples are found in diverse locations each incorporating different methods of construction and styles : Mountain temples such as Masrur Cave temples such as Chandrabhaga , Chalukya and Ellora Step well temple compounds such as the Mata Bhavani , Ankol Mata and Huccimallugudi . Forest temples such as Kasaun and Kusama River bank and sea shore temples such as Somnath . Hindu deities , stepwell style . Step well temples In arid western parts of India , such as Rajasthan and Gujarat , Hindu communities built large walk in wells that served as the only source of water in dry months but also served as social meeting places and carried religious significance . These monuments went down into earth towards subterranean water , up to seven storey , and were part of a temple complex . These vav ( literally , stepwells ) had intricate art reliefs on the walls , with numerous idols and images of Hindu deities , water spirits and erotic symbolism . The step wells were named after Hindu deities ; for example , Mata Bhavani 's Stepwell , Ankol Mata Vav , Sikotari Vav and others . The temple ranged from being small single pada ( cell ) structure to large nearby complexes . These stepwells and their temple compounds have been variously dated from late 1st millennium BC through 11th century AD . Of these , Rani ki vav , with hundreds of art reliefs including many of Vishnu deity avatars , has been declared a UNESCO World Heritage site . Cave Temples The Indian rock - cut architecture evolved in Maharashtran temple style in the 1st millennium AD . The temples are carved from a single piece of rock as a complete temple or carved in a cave to look like the interior of a temple . Ellora Temple is an example of the former , while The Elephanta Caves are representative of the latter style . The Elephanta Caves consist of two groups of caves -- the first is a large group of five Hindu caves and the second is a smaller group of two Buddhist caves . The Hindu caves contain rock - cut stone sculptures , representing the Shaiva Hindu sect , dedicated to the god Shiva . Arts inside Hindu temples ( edit ) Illustration of Chitrardha style of art work in a Hindu temple . A typical , ancient Hindu temple has a profusion of arts - from paintings to sculpture , from symbolic icons to engravings , from thoughtful layout of space to fusion of mathematical principles with Hindu sense of time and cardinality . Ancient Sanskrit texts classify idols and images in number of ways . For example , one method of classification is the dimensionality of completion : Chitra - images that are 3 - dimensional and completely formed , Chitrardha - images that are engraved in half relief , Chitrabhasa - images that are 2 - dimensional such as paintings on walls and cloths . Images and idols inside Hindu temples vary widely in their expression . Raudra or ugra images express destruction , fear and violence , such as Kali image on left . Shanta or saumya images express joy , knowledge and harmony , such as Saraswati image on right . Saumya images are most common in Hindu temples . Another way of classification is by the expressive state of the image : Raudra or ugra - are images that were meant to terrify , induce fear . These typically have wide , circular eyes , carry weapons , have skulls and bones as adornment . These idols were worshiped by soldiers before going to war , or by people in times of distress or terrors . Raudra deity temples were not set up inside villages or towns , but invariably outside and in remote areas of a kingdom . Shanta and saumya - are images that were pacific , peaceful and expressive of love , compassion , kindness and other virtues in Hindu pantheon . These images would carry symbolic icons of peace , knowledge , music , wealth , flowers , sensuality among other things . In ancient India , these temples were predominant inside villages and towns . A Hindu temple may or may not include an idol or images , but larger temples usually do . Personal Hindu temples at home or a hermitage may have a pada for yoga or meditation , but be devoid of anthropomorphic representations of god . Nature or others arts may surround him or her . To a Hindu yogin , states Gopinath Rao , one who has realised Self and the Universal Principle within himself , there is no need for any temple or divine image for worship . However , for those who have yet to reach this height of realization , various symbolic manifestations through images , idols and icons as well as mental modes of worship are offered as one of the spiritual paths in the Hindu way of life . This belief is repeated in ancient Hindu scriptures . For example , the Jabaladarshana Upanishad states : शिवमात्मनि पश्यन्ति प्रतिमासु न योगिनः अज्ञानं भावनार्थाय प्रतिमाः परिकल्पिताः ५९ - जाबालदर्शनोपनिषत् A yogin perceives god ( Siva ) within himself , images are for those who have not reached this knowledge . ( Verse 59 ) -- Jabaladarsana Upanishad , Historical development and destruction ( edit ) Ancient Hindu temples outside South Asia Ateshgah temple , Azerbaijan Angkor Wat , Cambodia Prambanan temple , Indonesia Po Nagar temple , Vietnam A number of ancient Indian texts suggest the prevalence of idols , temples and shrines in Indian subcontinent for thousands of years . For example , the 4th century BC text , Astadhyayi mentions male deity arcas ( images / idols ) of Agni , Indra , Varuna , Rudra , Mrda , Pusa , Surya , Soma being worshipped , as well as the worship of arcas of female goddesses such as Indrani , Varunani , Usa , Bhavani , Prthivi and Vrsakapayi . The 2nd Century BC ' ' Mahabhasya ' ' of Patanjali extensively describes temples of Dhanapati ( deity of wealth and finance , Kubera ) , as well as temples of Rama and Kesava , wherein the worship included dance , music and extensive rituals . The Mahabhasya also describes the rituals for Krsna , Visnu and Siva . An image recovered from Mathura in north India has been dated to the 2nd century BC . Kautilya 's Arthashastra from 3rd Century BC describes a city of temples , each enshrining various Vedic and Puranic deities . All three of these sources have common names , describe common rituals , symbolism and significance possibly suggesting that the idea of idols , temples and shrines passed from one generation to next , in ancient India , at least from the 4th century BC . The oldest temples , suggest scholars , were built of brick and wood . Stone became the preferred material of construction later . Early Jainism and Buddhism literature , along with Kautilya 's Arthashastra , describe structures , embellishments and designs of these temples - all with motifs and deities currently prevalent in Hinduism . Bas - reliefs and idols have been found from 2nd to 3rd Century , but none of the temple structures have survived . Scholars theorize that those ancient temples of India , later referred to as Hindu temples , were modeled after domestic structure - a house or a palace . Beyond shrines , nature was revered , in forms such as trees , rivers , stupas before the time of Buddha and Vardhamana Mahavira . As Jainism and Buddhism branched off from the religious tradition later to be called Hinduism , the ideas , designs and plans of ancient Vedic and Upanishad era shrines were adopted and evolved , likely from the competitive development of temples and arts in Jainism and Buddhism . Ancient reliefs found so far , states Michael Meister , suggest five basic shrine designs and combinations thereof in 1st millennium BC : A raised platform with or without a symbol A raised platform under an umbrella A raised platform under a tree A raised platform enclosed with a railing A raised platform inside a pillared pavilion Many of these ancient shrines were roofless , some had toranas and roof . Ladkhan Shiva Temple in Karnataka from the 5th century . From the 1st century BC through 3rd Century AD , the evidence and details about ancient temples increases . The ancient literature refers to these temples as Pasada ( or Prasada ) , stana , mahasthana , devalaya , devagrha , devakula , devakulika , ayatana and harmya . The entrance of the temple is referred to as dvarakosthaka in these ancient texts notes Meister , the temple hall is described as sabha or ayagasabha , pillars were called kumbhaka , while vedika referred to the structures at the boundary of a temple . A 7th century Chalukyan style temple ceiling in Karnataka With the start of Gupta dynasty in the 4th century , Hindu temples flourished in innovation , design , scope , form , use of stone and new materials as well as symbolic synthesis of culture and dharmic principles with artistic expression . It is this period that is credited with the ideas of garbhagrha for Purusa , mandapa for sheltering the devotees and rituals in progress , as well as symbolic motifs relating to dharma , karma , kama , artha and moksha . Temple superstructures were built from stone , brick and wide range of materials . Entrance ways , walls and pillars were intricately carved , while parts of temple were decorated with gold , silver and jewels . Visnu , Siva and other deities were placed in Hindu temples , while Buddhists and Jains built their own temples , often side by side with Hindus . The 4th through 6th century marked the flowering of Vidharbha style , whose accomplishments survive in central India as Ajanta caves , Pavnar , Mandhal and Mahesvar . In South India , this period is credited with some of the earliest stone temples of the region , with Chalukya temples dated to be from the 5th century by some scholars , and the 6th by some others . Over 6th and 7th century , temple designs were further refined during Maurya dynasty , evidence of which survives today at Ellora and Elephanta . Many Hindu temples were destroyed and the remains used to rebuild Islamic mosques between 12th and 18th century AD . Above drawing by James Prinsep ( 1832 ) shows an overlay of a mosque built over the ancient Hindu Vishveshvur temple . It is the 5th through 7th century AD when outer design and appearances of Hindu temples in north India and south India began to widely diverge . Nevertheless , the forms , theme , symbolism and central ideas in the grid design remained same , before and after , pan-India as innovations were adopted to give distinctly different visual expressions . During the 5th to 11th century , Hindu temples flourished outside Indian subcontinent , such as in Cambodia , Viet Nam , Malaysia and Indonesia . Destruction and conversion With the arrival of Islam in South Asia , Hindu temples along with the temples of Buddhists and Jains , became targets of Islamic armies . Idols were broken up and damaged . Spires and pillars were torn down by the invading armies from Persia , Central Asia and resident Sultans . Temples were looted of their treasury and parts reused to build or to convert the temples into mosques . During some periods , Muslim emperors such as Akbar encouraged arts , helped repair and protect Hindu temples . In other periods , the Sultans and emperors led a campaign of temple destruction as well as forbade repairs to damaged temples . Richard Eaton has listed 80 campaigns of Hindu temple site destruction stretching over centuries , particularly from the 12th through the 18th century . The religious conflict and desecrations continued during the British colonial era . The destruction of Hindu temple sites was comparatively less in the southern parts of India , such as in Tamil Nadu . Cave style Hindu temples that were carved inside a rock , hidden and rediscovered centuries later , such as the Kailasha Temple , have also survived . These are now UNESCO world heritage sites . Customs and etiquette ( edit ) The customs and etiquette varies across India . Devotees in major temples may bring in symbolic offerings for the puja . This includes fruits , flowers , sweets and other symbols of the bounty of the natural world . Temples in India are usually surrounded with small shops selling these offerings . Jagannath Temple at Puri , one of Char Dham : the four main spiritual centers of Hindus When inside the temple , devotees keep both hands folded ( namaste mudra ) . The inner sanctuary , where the murtis reside , is known as the garbhagriha . It symbolizes the birthplace of the universe , the meeting place of the gods and mankind , and the threshold between the transcendental and the phenomenal worlds . It is in this inner shrine that devotees seek a darsana of , where they offer prayers . Devotees may or may not be able to personally present their offerings at the feet of the deity . In most large Indian temples , only the pujaris ( priest ) are allowed to enter into the main sanctum . Temple management staff typically announce the hours of operation , including timings for special pujas . These timings and nature of special puja vary from temple to temple . Additionally , there may be specially allotted times for devotees to perform circumambulations ( or pradakshina ) around the temple . Visitors and worshipers to large Hindu temples may be required to deposit their shoes and other footwear before entering . Where this is expected , the temples provide an area and help staff to store footwear . Dress codes vary . It is customary in temples in Kerala , for men to remove shirts and to cover pants and shorts with a traditional cloth known as a Vasthiram . In Java and Bali ( Indonesia ) , before one enters the most sacred parts of a Hindu temple , shirts are required as well as Sarong around one 's waist . At many other locations , this formality is unnecessary . Regional variations in Hindu temples ( edit ) North Indian temples ( edit ) Kedarnath Temple , Uttarakhand Shiv Temple , Assam North Indian temples are referred to as Nagara style of temple architecture . They have sanctum sanctorum where the deity is present , open on one side from where the devotee obtains darśana . There may or may not be many more surrounding corridors , halls , etc . However , there will be space for devotees to go around the temple in clockwise fashion circumambulation . In North Indian temples , the tallest towers are built over the sanctum sanctorum in which the deity is installed . The north India Nagara style of temple designs often deploy fractal - theme , where smaller parts of the temple are themselves images or geometric re-arrangement of the large temple , a concept found in French and Russian architecture such as the matryoshka principle . One difference is the scope and cardinality , where Hindu temple structures deploy this principle in every dimension with garbhgriya as the primary locus , and each pada as well as zones serving as additional centers of loci . This makes a Nagara Hindu temple architecture symbolically a perennial expression of movement and time , of centrifugal growth fused with the idea of unity in everything . Temples in West Bengal ( edit ) Dakshineswar Kali Temple , Kolkata In West Bengal , the Bengali terra cotta temple architecture is found . Due to lack of suitable stone in the alluvial soil locally available , the temple makers had to resort to other materials instead of stone . This gave rise to using terracotta as a medium for temple construction . Terracotta exteriors with rich carvings are a unique feature of Bengali temples . The town of Vishnupur in West Bengal is renowned for this type of architecture . There is also a popular style of building known as Navaratna ( nine - towered ) or Pancharatna ( five - towered ) . An example of Navaratna style is the Dakshineswar Kali Temple . Temples in Odisha ( edit ) Rajarani Temple , Bhubaneswar Odisha temple architecture is known as Kalinga architecture , classifies the spire into three parts , the Bāḍa ( lower limb ) , the Ganḍi ( body ) and the Cuḷa / Mastaka ( head ) . Each part is decorated in a different manner . Kalinga architecture is a style which flourished in Kalinga , the name for kingdom that included ancient Odisha . It includes three styles : Rekha Deula , Pidha Deula and Khakhara Deula . The former two are associated with Vishnu , Surya and Shiva temples while the third is mainly associated with Chamunda and Durga temples . The Rekha Deula and Khakhara Deula houses the sanctum sanctorum while the Pidha Deula style includes space for outer dancing and offering halls . Temples of Goa and other konkani temples ( edit ) Saptakoteshwar Temple in Goa The temple architecture of Goa is quite unique . As Portuguese colonial hegemony increased , Goan Hindu temples became the rallying point to local resistance . Many these temples are not more than 500 years old , and are a unique blend of original Goan temple architecture , Dravidian , Nagar and Hemadpanthi temple styles with some British and Portuguese architectural influences . Goan temples were built using sedimentary rocks , wood , limestone and clay tiles , and copper sheets were used for the roofs . These temples were decorated with mural art called as Kavi kala or ocher art . The interiors have murals and wood carvings depicting scenes from the Hindu mythology . South Indian and Sri lankan temples ( edit ) The gopuram ( tower ) of Natarajar Temple , a typical South Indian temple complex in Chidambaram , Tamil Nadu . Koneswaram Temple , a Tamil Saivate temple in Tirukonamalai , Sri Lanka . South Indian temples have a large gopuram , a monumental tower , usually ornate , at the entrance of the temple . This forms a prominent feature of Koils , Hindu temples of the Dravidian style . They are topped by the kalasam , a bulbous stone finial . They function as gateways through the walls that surround the temple complex . The gopuram 's origins can be traced back to early structures of the Tamil kings Pallavas ; and by the twelfth century , under the Pandya rulers , these gateways became a dominant feature of a temple 's outer appearance , eventually overshadowing the inner sanctuary which became obscured from view by the gopuram 's colossal size . It also dominated the inner sanctum in amount of ornamentation . Often a shrine has more than one gopuram . They also appear in architecture outside India , especially Khmer architecture , as at Angkor Wat . A koil may have multiple gopurams , typically constructed into multiple walls in tiers around the main shrine . The temple 's walls are typically square with the outer most wall having gopuras . The sanctum sanctorium and its towering roof ( the central deity 's shrine ) are also called the vimanam . The inner sanctum has restricted access with only priests allowed beyond a certain point . Temples in Kerala ( edit ) Temples in Kerala have a different architectorial style , ( keeping the same essence of vaastu ) especially due to climatic differences Kerala have with other parts of India with larger rainfall . The temple roof is mostly tiled and is sloped and the walls are often square , the inner most shrine being entirely enclosed in another four walls to which only the pujari ( priest ) enters . The walls are decorated with either mural paintings or rock sculptures which many a times are emphasised on Dwarapalakas . Temples in Tamil Nadu ( edit ) The Meenakshi Amman Temple in Madurai . Temple construction reached its peak during rule of Pallavas . They built various temples around Kancheepuram , and Narasimhavarman II built the Shore Temple in Mamallapuram , a UNESCO World Heritage Site . The Pandyas rule created temples such as the Meenakshi Amman Temple at Madurai and Nellaiappar Temple at Tirunelveli . The Cholas were prolific temple builders right from the times of the first medieval king Vijayalaya Chola . The Chola temples include Nataraja temple at Chidambaram , the Sri Ranganathaswami Temple at Srirangam , the Brihadeshvara Temple of Thanjavur , Brihadeshvara Temple of Gangaikonda Cholapuram and the Airavatesvara Temple of Darasuram which are among the UNESCO World Heritage Sites . The Nayaks of Madurai reconstructed some of the well - known temples in Tamil Nadu such as the Meenakshi Temple . Temples in Cambodia ( edit ) Art relief at the Hindu temple Banteay Srei in Cambodia Angkor Wat was built as a Hindu temple by King Suryavarman II in the early 12th century in Yasodharapura ( Khmer , present - day Angkor ) , the capital of the Khmer Empire , as his state temple and eventual mausoleum . Breaking from the Shaiva tradition of previous kings , Angkor Wat was instead dedicated to Vishnu . The Spire in Khmer Hindu temple is called Giri ( mountain ) and symbolizes the residence of gods just like Meru does in Bali Hindu mythology and Ku ( Guha ) does in Burmese Hindu mythology . Angkor Wat is just one of numerous Hindu temples in Cambodia , most of them in ruins . Hundreds of Hindu temples are scattered from Siem Reap to Sambor Prei Kuk in central Cambodian region . Temples in Vietnam ( edit ) There are a number of Hindu temple clusters along the coast of Vietnam , with some on UNESCO world heritage site list . Examples include Mỹ Sơn - a cluster of 70 temples with earliest dated to be from the 4th century AD and dedicated to Siva , while others are dedicated to Hindu deities Krishna , Vishnu and others . These temples , internally and with respect to each other , are also built on the Hindu perfect square grid concept . Other sites in Vietnam with Hindu temples include Phan Rang with the Cham temple Po Klong Garai . Temples in Indonesia ( edit ) Prambanan in Java Pura Ulun Danu Bratan , Bali Ancient temples in Indonesia are called candi . Hindu temples of ancient Java , Indonesia , bear resemblances with temples of South Indian style . The largest of these is the 9th century Javanese Hindu temple , Prambanan in Yogyakarta , now a UNESCO world heritage site . It was designed as three concentric squares and has 224 temples . The inner square contains 16 temples dedicated to major Hindu deities , of which Siva temple is the largest . The temple has extensive wall reliefs and carvings illustrating the stories from the Hindu epic Ramayana . In Bali , Pura ( Balinese temple ) is designed as an open - air worship place in a walled compound . The compound walls have a series of intricately decorated gates without doors for the devotee to enter . The design , plan and layout of the holy pura follows a square layout . Temples in Thailand ( edit ) Thailand has many notable Hindu temples including ; the Devasathan , the Erawan Shrine , Prasat Muang Tam , Sdok Kok Thom and Phanom Rung . Temples outside Asia ( edit ) The Hindu Temple Society of North America built Sri Maha Vallabha Ganapati Devasthanam in Queens , New York City . A Hindu temple in Hamm , Germany Many members of the South Asian diaspora have established Hindu mandirs outside India as a means of preserving and celebrating cultural and spiritual heritage abroad . Describing the hundreds of mandirs that can be found throughout the United States , scholar Gail M. Harley observes , `` The temples serve as central locations where Hindus can come together to worship during holy festivals and socialize with other Hindus . Temples in America reflect the colorful kaleidoscopic aspects contained in Hinduism while unifying people who are disbursed throughout the American landscape . '' Numerous mandirs in North America and Europe have gained particular prominence and acclaim . The Hindu Temple Society of North America , representing Sri Maha Vallabha Ganapati Devasthanam ( Sanskrit : श्री महावल्लभ गणपति देवस्थानम् , Tamil : ஸ்ரீ மகா வல்லப கணபதி தேவஸ்தானம் ) , in Flushing , Queens , New York City , is the oldest Hindu temple in the Western Hemisphere , and its canteen feeds 4,000 people a week , with as many as 10,000 during the Diwali ( Deepavali ) holiday . Temple management ( edit ) The Archaeological Survey of India has control of most ancient temples of archaeological importance in India . In India , day - to - day activities of a temple is managed by a temple board committee that administers its finances , management , and events . Since independence , the autonomy of individual Hindu religious denominations to manage their own affairs with respect to temples of their own denomination has been severely eroded and the state governments have taken control of major Hindu temples . Etymology and nomenclature ( edit ) Somnath Rameshwaram Varanasi Badrinath Puri Amarnath Major Hindu temple sites for Tirtha and general tourism in India .

The alignment along cardinal direction , similarly is an extension of Vedic rituals of three fires . This symbolism is also found among Greek and other ancient civilizations , through the gnomon . In Hindu temple manuals , design plans are described with 1 , 4 , 9 , 16 , 25 , 36 , 49 , 64 , 81 up to 1024 squares ; 1 pada is considered the simplest plan , as a seat for a hermit or devotee to sit and meditate on , or make offerings with Vedic fire in front . The second design of 4 padas lacks the central core , and is also a meditative constructive . The 9 pada design has a sacred surrounded center , and is the template for the smallest temple . Older Hindu temple vastumandalas may use the 9 through 49 pada series , but 64 is considered the most sacred geometric grid in Hindu temples . It is also called Manduka , Bhekapada or Ajira in various ancient Sanskrit texts . Jump up ^ In addition to square ( 4 ) sided layout , Brhat Samhita also describes Vastu and mandala design principles based on a perfect triangle ( 3 ) , hexagon ( 6 ) , octagon ( 8 ) and hexadecagon ( 16 ) sided layouts , according to Stella Kramrisch .

The Second Sino - Japanese War was a military conflict fought primarily between the Republic of China and the Empire of Japan from July 7 , 1937 to September 9 , 1945 . It began with the Marco Polo Bridge Incident in 1937 in which a dispute between Japanese and Chinese troops escalated into a battle . The conflict escalated afterward . It ended with the unconditional surrender of Japan on September 2 , 1945 to the United Nations . Events leading to World War II Pacification of Libya 1923 -- 1932 Japanese invasion of Manchuria 1931 Franco - Soviet - Czech Pact 1935 Second Italo - Ethiopian War 1935 -- 36 Remilitarization of the Rhineland 1936 Spanish Civil War 1936 -- 39 Anti-Comintern Pact 1936 Second Sino - Japanese War 1937 Anschluss 1938 Munich crisis 1938 German occupation of Czechoslovakia Mar. 1939 German ultimatum to Lithuania Mar. 1939 British guarantee to Poland Mar. 1939 Invasion of Albania Apr. 1939 Pact of Steel May 1939 Molotov -- Ribbentrop Pact Aug. 1939 China fought Japan , with minor aid to China from the Soviet Union and the United States . After the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor in 1941 , the war merged with other conflicts of World War II as a major sector known as the China Burma India Theater . Some scholars consider the start of the Second Sino - Japanese War in 1937 to have been the beginning of World War II . The Second Sino - Japanese War was the largest Asian war in the 20th century . It accounted for the majority of civilian and military casualties in the Pacific War , with between 10 and 25 million Chinese civilians and over 4 million Chinese and Japanese military personnel dying from war - related violence , famine , and other causes . The war was the result of a decades - long Japanese imperialist policy to expand its influence politically and militarily in order to secure access to raw material reserves , food , and labor . The period after World War I brought about increasing stress on the Japanese polity . Leftists sought universal suffrage and greater rights for workers . Increasing textile production from Chinese mills was adversely affecting Japanese production . The Depression brought about a large slowdown in exports . All of this contributed to militant nationalism , culminating in the rise to power of a militarist fascist faction . This faction was led at its height by the Hideki Tojo cabinet of the Imperial Rule Assistance Association under edict from Emperor Hirohito . In 1931 , the Mukden Incident helped spark the Japanese invasion of Manchuria . The Chinese were defeated and Japan created a new puppet state , Manchukuo ; some historians , including the PRC government , cite 1931 as the beginning of the war . From 1931 -- 1937 , China and Japan continued to skirmish in small , localized engagements , so - called `` incidents '' . Initially the Japanese scored major victories , capturing both Shanghai and the Chinese capital of Nanking in 1937 . After failing to stop the Japanese in the Battle of Wuhan , the Chinese central government was relocated to Chongqing ( Chungking ) in the Chinese interior . By 1939 , after Chinese victories in Changsha and Guangxi , and with Japan 's lines of communications stretched deep into the Chinese interior , the war reached a stalemate . The Japanese were also unable to defeat the Chinese communist forces in Shaanxi , which waged a campaign of sabotage and guerrilla warfare against the invaders . While Japan ruled the large cities , they lacked sufficient manpower to control China 's vast countryside . On December 7 , 1941 , the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor , and the following day the United States declared war on Japan . The United States began to aid China by airlifting material over the Himalayas after the Allied defeat in Burma that closed the Burma Road . In 1944 Japan launched the invasion , Operation Ichi - Go , that conquered Henan and Changsha . However , this failed to bring about the surrender of Chinese forces . In 1945 , the Chinese Expeditionary Force resumed its advance in Burma and completed the Ledo Road linking India to China . At the same time , China launched large counteroffensives in South China and retook West Hunan and Guangxi . Despite continuing to occupy part of China 's territory , Japan eventually surrendered on September 2 , 1945 to Allied forces following the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki and the Soviet invasion of Japanese - held Manchuria . The remaining Japanese occupation forces ( excluding Manchuria ) formally surrendered on September 9 , 1945 , with the following International Military Tribunal for the Far East convened on April 29 , 1946 . At the outcome of the Cairo Conference of November 22 -- 26 , 1943 , the Allies of World War II decided to restrain and punish the aggression of Japan by restoring all the territories that Japan annexed from China , including Manchuria , Taiwan / Formosa , and the Pescadores , to China , and to expel Japan from the Korean Peninsula . China was recognized as one of the Big Four of Allies during the war and became one of the five permanent members of the United Nations Security Council .

In the Chinese language , the war is most commonly known as the War of Resistance Against Japan ( simplified Chinese : 抗日 战争 ; traditional Chinese : 抗日 戰爭 ) , and also known as the Eight Years ' War of Resistance ( simplified Chinese : 八 年 抗战 ; traditional Chinese : 八 年 抗戰 ) , simply War of Resistance ( simplified Chinese : 抗战 ; traditional Chinese : 抗戰 ) . In 2017 the Chinese Ministry of Education issued a directive stating that textbooks were to refer to the war as the Fourteen Years ' War of Resistance ( simplified Chinese : 十 四 年 抗战 ; traditional Chinese : 十 四 年 抗戰 ) , reflecting a focus on the broader conflict with Japan going back to 1931 . It is also referred to as part of the `` Global Anti-Fascist War '' , which is how World War 2 is perceived by the Communist Party of China and the PRC government . In Japan , nowadays , the name `` Japan -- China War '' ( Japanese : 日 中 戰爭 , Hepburn : Nitchū Sensō ) is most commonly used because of its perceived objectivity . In Japan today , it is written as 日 中 戦争 in shinjitai . When the invasion of China proper began in earnest in July 1937 near Beijing , the government of Japan used `` The North China Incident '' ( Japanese : 北 支 事變 / 華北 事變 , Hepburn : Hokushi Jihen / Kahoku Jihen ) , and with the outbreak of the Battle of Shanghai the following month , it was changed to `` The China Incident '' ( Japanese : 支那 事變 , Hepburn : Shina Jihen ) . The word `` incident '' ( Japanese : 事變 , Hepburn : jihen ) was used by Japan , as neither country had made a formal declaration of war . Especially , Japan wanted to avoid intervention by other countries , particularly the United Kingdom and the United States , which were its primary source of petroleum ; the United States was also its biggest supplier of steel . If it was formally expressed that the fighting had already escalated to `` general war '' , US President Franklin D. Roosevelt would have been legally obliged to impose an embargo on Japan in observance of the US Neutrality Acts . In addition , due to China 's fractured political status , Japan often claimed that China was no longer a recognizable political entity on which war could be declared . Other names ( edit ) In Japanese propaganda , the invasion of China became a `` holy war '' ( Japanese : 聖戦 , Hepburn : seisen ) , the first step of the Hakkō ichiu ( 八紘 一 宇 , `` eight corners of the world under one roof '' slogan ) . In 1940 , Japanese Prime Minister Fumimaro Konoe launched the Taisei Yokusankai . When both sides formally declared war in December 1941 , the name was replaced by `` Greater East Asia War '' ( Japanese : 大 東亞 戰爭 , Hepburn : Daitōa Sensō ) . Although the Japanese government still uses the term `` China Incident '' in formal documents , the word Shina is considered derogatory by China and therefore the media in Japan often paraphrase with other expressions like `` The Japan -- China Incident '' ( Japanese : 日 華 事變 , Hepburn : Nikka Jiken , 日 支 事變 Nisshi Jiken ) , which were used by media as early as the 1930s . The name `` Second Sino - Japanese War '' is not commonly used in Japan as the war it fought with the Qing dynasty in 1894 is called the Qing - Japanese War ( Japanese : 日 清 戦争 , Hepburn : Nisshin -- Sensō ) rather than the First Sino - Japanese War . Background on the Sino - Japanese War ( edit ) The origin of the Second Sino - Japanese War can be traced to the First Sino - Japanese War of 1894 -- 95 , in which China , then under the Qing dynasty , was defeated by Japan and was forced to cede Formosa , and to recognize the full and complete independence of Korea in the Treaty of Shimonoseki ; Japan had also allegedly annexed the Diaoyudao / Senkaku islands in early 1895 as a result being the victors of this war ( Japan claims the islands to have been uninhabited in 1895 ) . The Qing Dynasty was on the brink of collapse from internal revolts and foreign imperialism , while Japan had emerged as a great power through its effective measures of modernization . Republic of China ( edit ) The Republic of China was founded in 1912 , following the Xinhai Revolution which overthrew the Qing dynasty ( 1644 -- 1911 ) . However , central authority disintegrated and the Republic 's authority succumbed to that of regional warlords . Unifying the nation and repelling imperialism seemed a very remote possibility . Some warlords even aligned themselves with various foreign powers in their battles with each other . For example , the warlord Zhang Zuolin of Manchuria openly cooperated with the Japanese for military and economic assistance . Twenty - one demands ( edit ) In 1915 , Japan issued the Twenty - One Demands to extort further political and commercial privilege from China . Following World War I , Japan acquired the German Empire 's sphere of influence in Shandong ( Shantung ) , leading to nationwide anti-Japanese protests and mass demonstrations in China , but China under the Beiyang government , remained fragmented and unable to resist foreign incursions . To unite China and eradicate regional warlords , the Kuomintang ( KMT , or Chinese Nationalist Party ) in Guangzhou launched the Northern Expedition of 1926 -- 28 with the help of the Soviet Union . Jinan Incident ( edit ) The Kuomintang ( KMT ) National Revolutionary Army ( NRA ) swept through China until it was checked in Shandong , where conflict erupted as it approached the city of Jinan . Confrontations occurred which culminated in the Jinan incident of 1928 , during which time the Japanese military executed several Chinese officials and fired artillery shells into Jinan . Between 2,000 and 11,000 civilians are believed to have been killed . The incident severely deteriorated relations between China and Japan . Nominal unification of China ( edit ) In the same year the warlord Zhang Zuolin was assassinated when he became less willing to cooperate with Japan . Afterwards Zhang 's son Zhang Xueliang quickly took over control of Manchuria , and despite strong Japanese lobbying efforts to continue the resistance against the KMT , he soon declared his allegiance to the Kuomintang government under Chiang Kai - shek , which resulted in the nominal unification of China at the end of 1928 . Communist Party of China ( edit ) In 1930 , large - scale civil war broke out between warlords , who had fought in alliance with the Kuomintang during the Northern Expedition , and the central government under Chiang . In addition , the Chinese Communists ( CPC , or Communist Party of China ) revolted against the central government following a purge of its members by the KMT in 1927 . The Chinese government expended resources fighting these civil wars , following a policy of `` first internal pacification , then external resistance '' ( Chinese : 攘 外 必 先 安 內 ) . Invasion of Manchuria , interventions in China ( edit ) Japanese troops entering Shenyang during the Mukden Incident The internecine warfare in China provided excellent opportunities for Japan , which saw Manchuria as a limitless supply of raw materials , a market for its manufactured goods ( now excluded from the influence of many Western countries in Depression - era tariffs ) , and as a protective buffer state against the Soviet Union in Siberia . Japan invaded Manchuria outright after the Mukden Incident ( simplified Chinese : 九 一 八 事变 ; traditional Chinese : 九 一 八 事變 ; pinyin : Jiǔyībā Shìbiàn ) in September 1931 . Japan charged that their rights in Manchuria , established by the Russo - Japanese War , had been systematically violated and that there were `` more than 120 cases of infringement of rights and interests , interference with business , boycott of Japanese goods , unreasonable taxation , detention of individuals , confiscation of properties , eviction , demand for cessation of business , assault and battery , and the oppression of Korean residents . '' After five months of fighting , Japan established the puppet state of Manchukuo in 1932 , and installed last emperor of China , Puyi , as its puppet ruler . Militarily too weak to challenge Japan directly , China appealed to the League of Nations for help . The League 's investigation led to the publication of the Lytton Report , condemning Japan for its incursion into Manchuria , causing Japan to withdraw from the League of Nations . No country was willing to take action against Japan beyond tepid censure . Incessant fighting followed the Mukden Incident . In 1932 , Chinese and Japanese troops fought the January 28 Incident battle . This resulted in the demilitarisation of Shanghai , which forbade the Chinese from deploying troops in their own city . In Manchukuo there was an ongoing campaign to defeat the Anti-Japanese Volunteer Armies that arose from widespread outrage over the policy of non-resistance to Japan . In 1933 , the Japanese attacked the Great Wall region . The Tanggu Truce established in its aftermath , gave Japan control of Jehol province as well as a demilitarized zone between the Great Wall and Beiping - Tianjin region . Japan aimed to create another buffer zone between Manchukuo and the Chinese Nationalist government in Nanjing . Japan increasingly exploited China 's internal conflicts to reduce the strength of its fractious opponents . This was precipitated by the fact that even years after the Northern Expedition , the political power of the Nationalist government was limited to just the area of the Yangtze River Delta . Other sections of China were essentially in the hands of local Chinese warlords . Japan sought various Chinese collaborators and helped them establish governments friendly to Japan . This policy was called the Specialization of North China ( Chinese : 華北 特殊 化 ; pinyin : huáběitèshūhùa ) , more commonly known as the North China Autonomous Movement . The northern provinces affected by this policy were Chahar , Suiyuan , Hebei , Shanxi , and Shandong . This Japanese policy was most effective in the area of what is now Inner Mongolia and Hebei . In 1935 , under Japanese pressure , China signed the He -- Umezu Agreement , which forbade the KMT from conducting party operations in Hebei . In the same year , the Chin -- Doihara Agreement was signed expelling the KMT from Chahar . Thus , by the end of 1935 the Chinese government had essentially abandoned northern China . In its place , the Japanese - backed East Hebei Autonomous Council and the Hebei -- Chahar Political Council were established . There in the empty space of Chahar the Mongol Military Government ( simplified Chinese : 蒙古 军 政府 ; traditional Chinese : 蒙古 軍 政府 ; pinyin : Ménggǔ jūn zhèngfǔ ) was formed on May 12 , 1936 . Japan provided all the necessary military and economic aid . Afterwards Chinese volunteer forces continued to resist Japanese aggression in Manchuria , and Chahar and Suiyuan . Course of the War ( edit ) 1937 : full - scale invasion of China ( edit ) Generalissimo Chiang Kai - shek announced the Kuomintang policy of resistance against Japan at Lushan on July 10 , 1937 , three days after the Marco Polo Bridge Incident . On the night of July 7 , 1937 , Chinese and Japanese troops exchanged fire in the vicinity of the Lugou ( or Marco Polo ) bridge , a crucial access - route to Beijing . What began as confused , sporadic skirmishing soon escalated into a full - scale battle in which Beijing and its port city of Tianjin fell to Japanese forces ( July -- August 1937 ) . On July 29 , some 5,000 troops of the 1st and 2nd Corps of the East Hopei Army mutinied , turning against the Japanese garrison . In addition to Japanese military personnel , some 260 civilians living in Tongzhou in accordance with the Boxer Protocol of 1901 , were killed in the uprising ( predominantly Japanese including the police force and also some ethnic Koreans ) . The Chinese then set fire to and destroyed much of the city . Only around 60 Japanese civilians survived , who provided both journalists and later historians with firsthand witness accounts . As a result of the violence of the mutiny against Japanese civilians , the Tungchow mutiny , as it came to be called , strongly shook public opinion within Japan . Most historians regard the initial skirmishes at the bridge , known as the Marco Polo Bridge Incident , as the beginning of the Second Sino - Japanese War . Around the Battle of Shanghai ( edit ) Main article : Battle of Shanghai A Chinese machine gun nest in Shanghai . Note the German M35 used by the NRA soldiers . The Imperial General Headquarters ( GHQ ) in Tokyo , content with the gains acquired in northern China following the Marco Polo Bridge Incident , initially showed reluctance to escalate the conflict into full - scale war . The KMT , however , determined that the `` breaking point '' of Japanese aggression had been reached . Chiang Kai - shek quickly mobilized the central government 's army and air force , placed them under his direct command , and laid siege to the Japanese area of Shanghai International Settlement , where 30,000 Japanese civilians lived with 30,000 troops on August 12 , 1937 . On August 13 , 1937 , Kuomintang soldiers and warplanes attacked Japanese Marines in Shanghai , leading to the Battle of Shanghai ( August -- November 1937 ) . On August 14 , Kuomintang planes bombed the Shanghai International Settlement , which led to more than 3,000 civilian deaths In the three days from August 14 through 16 , 1937 , the Imperial Japanese Navy ( IJN ) sent many sorties of the then - advanced long - ranged G3M medium - heavy land - based bombers and assorted carrier - based aircraft with the expectation of destroying the Chinese Air Force . However , the Imperial Japanese Navy encountered unexpected resistance from the defending Chinese Hawk III and P - 26 / 281 Peashooter fighter squadrons ; suffering heavy ( 50 % ) losses from the defending Chinese pilots ( the KMT accordingly designated August 14 as China 's Air Force Day ) . The skies of China had become a testing zone for advanced biplane and new - generation monoplane combat - aircraft designs . The introduction of the advanced A5M `` Claude '' fighters into the Shanghai - Nanking theater of operations , beginning on September 18 , 1937 , helped the Japanese achieve a certain level of air superiority . However the few experienced Chinese veteran pilots , even in their older and slower biplanes , proved more than able to hold their own against the sleek A5Ms in dogfights , and it also proved to be a battle of attrition against the Chinese Air Force . At the start of the battle , the local strength of the NRA was around five divisions , or about 70,000 troops , while local Japanese forces comprised about 6,300 marines . On August 23 , Japanese Army reinforcements succeeded in landing in northern Shanghai . The Imperial Japanese Army ( IJA ) ultimately committed over 200,000 troops , along with numerous naval vessels and aircraft , to capture the city . After more than three months of intense fighting , their casualties far exceeded initial expectations . On October 26 , the Japanese Army captured Dachangzhen , an important strong - point within Shanghai , and on November 5 , additional reinforcements of Japan landed from Hangzhou Bay . Finally , on November 9 , the NRA began a general retreat . Nanking Massacre ( edit ) Main article : Nanking Massacre Building on the hard - won victory in Shanghai , the IJA captured the KMT capital city of Nanjing ( Nanking ) ( December 1937 ) and Northern Shanxi ( September -- November 1937 ) . These campaigns involved approximately 350,000 Japanese soldiers , and considerably more Chinese . Historians estimate that between December 13 , 1937 and late January 1938 Japanese forces tortured and murdered up to 300,000 Chinese ( mostly civilians and surrendered soldiers ) and raped tens of thousands of women during the Nanking Massacre ( also known as the `` Rape of Nanking '' ) , after its fall . As of 2015 , some right - wing Japanese negationists deny that the massacre occurred , and have successfully lobbied for revision and exclusion of information in Japanese schoolbooks . 1938 ( edit ) At the start of 1938 , the leadership in Tokyo still hoped to limit the scope of the conflict to occupy areas around Shanghai , Nanjing and most of northern China . They thought this would preserve strength for an anticipated showdown with the Soviet Union , but by now the Japanese government and GHQ had effectively lost control of the Japanese army in China . With many victories achieved , Japanese field generals escalated the war in Jiangsu in an attempt to wipe out Chinese resistance , but were defeated at the Battle of Taierzhuang ( March -- April 1938 ) . Afterwards the IJA changed its strategy and deployed almost all of its existing armies in China to attack the city of Wuhan , which had become the political , economic and military center of rump China , in hopes of destroying the fighting strength of the NRA and of forcing the KMT government to negotiate for peace . The Japanese captured Wuhan on October 27 , 1938 , forcing the KMT to retreat to Chongqing ( Chungking ) , but Chiang Kai - shek still refused to negotiate , saying he would only consider talks if Japan agreed to withdraw to the pre-1937 borders . With Japanese casualties and costs mounting , the Imperial General Headquarters attempted to break Chinese resistance by ordering the air branches of their navy and army to launch the war 's first massive air raids on civilian targets . Japanese raiders hit the Kuomintang 's newly established provisional capital of Chongqing and most other major cities in unoccupied China , leaving millions dead , injured , and homeless . 1939 -- 40 : Chinese counterattack and stalemate ( edit ) From the beginning of 1939 the war entered a new phase with the unprecedented defeat of the Japanese at Suixian , Zaoyang , Changsha and Guangxi . These outcomes encouraged the Chinese to launch their first large - scale counter-offensive against the IJA in early 1940 ; however , due to its low military - industrial capacity and limited experience in modern warfare , this offensive was defeated . Afterwards Chiang could not risk any more all - out offensive campaigns given the poorly trained , under - equipped , and disorganized state of his armies and opposition to his leadership both within the Kuomintang and in China in general . He had lost a substantial portion of his best trained and equipped troops in the Battle of Shanghai and was at times at the mercy of his generals , who maintained a high degree of autonomy from the central KMT government . During the offensive , Hui forces in Suiyuan under generals Ma Hongbin and Ma Buqing routed the Japanese army and their puppet Inner Mongol forces and prevented the planned Japanese advance into northwest China . Ma Hongbin 's father Ma Fulu had fought against Japanese in the Boxer Rebellion . General Ma Biao led Hui , Salar and Dongxiang cavalry to defeat the Japanese at the Battle of Huaiyang . Ma Biao fought against Japanese in the Boxer rebellion . Map showing the extent of Japanese occupation in 1940 ( in red ) After 1940 the Japanese encountered tremendous difficulties in administering and garrisoning the seized territories , and tried to solve its occupation problems by implementing a strategy of creating friendly puppet governments favourable to Japanese interests in the territories conquered , most prominently the Nanjing Nationalist Government headed by former KMT premier Wang Jingwei . However , atrocities committed by the Japanese army , as well as Japanese refusal to delegate any real power , left the puppets very unpopular and largely ineffective . The only success the Japanese had was to recruit a large Collaborationist Chinese Army to maintain public security in the occupied areas . Japanese expansion ( edit ) Japanese occupation ( red ) of eastern China near the end of the war , and Communist guerrilla bases ( striped ) By 1941 Japan held most of the eastern coastal areas of China and Vietnam , but guerilla fighting continued in these occupied areas . Japan had suffered high casualties from unexpectedly stubborn Chinese resistance , and neither side could make any swift progress in the manner of Nazi Germany in Western Europe . Chinese resistance strategy ( edit ) The basis of Chinese strategy before the entrance of Western Allies can be divided into two periods as follows : First Period : July 7 , 1937 ( Battle of Lugou Bridge ) -- October 25 , 1938 ( end of the Battle of Wuhan with the fall of the City ) . Chinese soldiers in house - to - house fighting in the Battle of Taierzhuang , March -- April 1938 . Unlike Japan , China was unprepared for total war and had little military - industrial strength , no mechanized divisions , and few armoured forces . Up until the mid-1930s China had hoped that the League of Nations would provide countermeasures to Japan 's aggression . In addition , the Kuomintang ( KMT ) government was mired in a civil war against the Communist Party of China ( CPC ) , as Chiang Kai - shek was quoted : `` the Japanese are a disease of the skin , the Communists are a disease of the heart '' . The Second United Front between the KMT and CPC was never truly unified , as each side was preparing for a showdown with the other once the Japanese were driven out . Even under these extremely unfavorable circumstances , Chiang realized that to win support from the United States and other foreign nations , China had to prove it was capable of fighting . Knowing a hasty retreat would discourage foreign aid , Chiang resolved to make a stand at Shanghai , using the best of his German - trained divisions to defend China 's largest and most industrialized city from the Japanese . The battle lasted over three months , saw heavy casualties on both sides , and ended with a Chinese retreat towards Nanjing , but proved that China would not be easily defeated and showed its determination to the world . The battle became an enormous morale booster for the Chinese people , as it decisively refuted the Japanese boast that Japan could conquer Shanghai in three days and China in three months . Afterwards , China began to adopt the strategy of `` trading space for time '' ( simplified Chinese : 以 空间 换取 时间 ; traditional Chinese : 以 空間 換取 時間 ) . The Chinese army would put up fights to delay the Japanese advance to northern and eastern cities , allowing the home front , with its professionals and key industries , to retreat west into Chongqing . As a result of Chinese troops ' scorched earth strategies , in which dams and levees were intentionally sabotaged to create massive flooding , Japanese advances began to stall in late 1938 . Second Period : October 25 , 1938 ( following the Fall of Wuhan ) -- December 1941 ( before the Allies ' declaration of war on Japan ) . National Revolutionary Army soldiers march to the front in 1939 . During this period , the main Chinese objective was to drag out the war for as long as possible , thereby exhausting Japanese resources while building up Chinese military capacity . American general Joseph Stilwell called this strategy `` winning by outlasting '' . The NRA adopted the concept of `` magnetic warfare '' to attract advancing Japanese troops to definite points where they were subjected to ambush , flanking attacks , and encirclements in major engagements . The most prominent example of this tactic was the successful defense of Changsha in 1939 ( and again in 1941 ) , in which heavy casualties were inflicted on the IJA . Local Chinese resistance forces , organized separately by both the communists and KMT , continued their resistance in occupied areas to pester the enemy and make their administration over the vast land area of China difficult . In 1940 the Chinese Red Army launched a major offensive in north China , destroying railways and a major coal mine . These constant harassment and sabotage operations deeply frustrated the Japanese army and led them to employ the `` Three Alls Policy '' ( kill all , loot all , burn all ) ( 三光 政策 , Hanyu Pinyin : Sānguāng Zhèngcè , Japanese On : Sankō Seisaku ) . It was during this period that the bulk of Japanese war crimes were committed . By 1941 , Japan had occupied much of north and coastal China , but the KMT central government and military had retreated to the western interior to continue their resistance , while the Chinese communists remained in control of base areas in Shaanxi . In the occupied areas , Japanese control was mainly limited to railroads and major cities ( `` points and lines '' ) . They did not have a major military or administrative presence in the vast Chinese countryside , where Chinese guerrillas roamed freely .

After the Mukden Incident in 1931 , Chinese public opinion was strongly critical of Manchuria 's leader , the `` young marshal '' Zhang Xueliang , for his nonresistance to the Japanese invasion , even though the Kuomintang central government was also responsible for this policy , giving Zhang an order to `` improvise '' while not offering support . After losing Manchuria to the Japanese , Zhang and his Northeast Army were given the duty of suppressing the Red Army of the Chinese Communist Party ( CPC ) in Shaanxi after their Long March . This resulted in great casualties for his Northeast Army , which received no support in manpower or weaponry from Chiang Kai - shek . On 12 December 1936 a deeply disgruntled Zhang Xueliang kidnapped Chiang Kai - shek in Xi'an , hoping to force an end to the conflict between KMT and CPC . To secure the release of Chiang , the KMT agreed to a temporary end to the Chinese Civil War and , on 24 December , the creation of a United Front between the CPC and KMT against Japan . The alliance having salutary effects for the beleaguered CPC , they agreed to form the New Fourth Army and the 8th Route Army and place them under the nominal control of the NRA . The CPC 's Red Army fought alongside KMT forces during the Battle of Taiyuan , and the high point of their cooperation came in 1938 during the Battle of Wuhan . Despite Japan 's steady territorial gains in northern China , the coastal regions , and the rich Yangtze River Valley in central China , the distrust between the two antagonists was scarcely veiled . The uneasy alliance began to break down by late 1938 , partially due to the Communists ' aggressive efforts to expand their military strength by absorbing Chinese guerrilla forces behind Japanese lines . Chinese militia who refused to switch their allegiance were often labelled `` collaborators '' and attacked by CPC forces . For example , the Red Army led by He Long attacked and wiped out a brigade of Chinese militia led by Zhang Yin - wu in Hebei in June 1939 . Starting in 1940 , open conflict between Nationalists and Communists became more frequent in the occupied areas outside of Japanese control , culminating in the New Fourth Army Incident in January 1941 . Afterwards , the Second United Front completely broke down and Chinese Communists leader Mao Zedong outlined the preliminary plan for the CPC 's eventual seizure of power from Chiang Kai - shek . Mao began his final push for consolidation of CPC power under his authority , and his teachings became the central tenets of the CPC doctrine that came to be formalized as `` Mao Zedong Thought '' . The communists also began to focus most of their energy on building up their sphere of influence wherever opportunities were presented , mainly through rural mass organizations , administrative , land and tax reform measures favoring poor peasants ; while the Nationalists attempted to neutralize the spread of Communist influence by military blockade of areas controlled by CPC and fighting the Japanese at the same time Entrance of the Western Allies ( edit ) Play media On February 18 , 1943 , Madame Chiang Kai - shek addressed both houses of the U.S. Congress . Generalissimo Chiang Kai - shek , Franklin D. Roosevelt , and Winston Churchill met at the Cairo Conference in 1943 during World War II . Generalissimo Chiang Kai - shek and his wife Madame Chiang with Lieutenant General Joseph Stilwell in 1942 , Burma . A U.S. poster advocating helping China fight on . Following the attack on Pearl Harbor , the United States declared war against Japan , and within days China joined the Allies in formal declaration of war against Japan , Germany and Italy . As the Western Allies entered the war against Japan , the Sino - Japanese war would become part of a greater conflict , the Pacific theatre of World War II . Almost immediately , Chinese troops achieved another decisive victory in the Battle of Changsha , which earned the Chinese government much prestige from the Western Allies . President Franklin D. Roosevelt referred to the United States , United Kingdom , Soviet Union and China as the world 's `` Four Policemen '' , elevating the international status of China to an unprecedented height after a century of humiliation at the hands of various imperialist powers . Knowledge of Japanese naval movements in the Pacific was provided to the American Navy by SACO which was run by the Chinese intelligence head Dai Li . Philippine and Japanese ocean weather was affected by weather originating near northern China . The base of SACO located in Yangjiashan . Chiang Kai - shek continued to receive supplies from the United States . However , in contrast to the Arctic supply route to the Soviet Union which stayed open through most of the war , sea routes to China and the Yunnan -- Vietnam Railway had been closed since 1940 . Therefore , between the closing of the Burma Road in 1942 and its re-opening as the Ledo Road in 1945 , foreign aid was largely limited to what could be flown in over `` The Hump '' . In Burma , on 16 April 1942 , 7,000 British soldiers were encircled by the Japanese 33rd Division during the Battle of Yenangyaung and rescued by the Chinese 38th Division . After the Doolittle Raid , the Japanese army conducted a massive sweep through Zhejiang and Jiangxi of China , now known as the Zhejiang - Jiangxi Campaign , with the goal of finding the surviving American airmen , applying retribution on the Chinese who aided them and destroying air bases . The operation started May 15 , 1942 with 40 infantry battalions and 15 -- 16 artillery battalions but was repelled by Chinese forces in September . During this campaign , The Imperial Japanese Army left behind a trail of devastation and had also spread cholera , typhoid , plague and dysentery pathogens . Chinese estimates put the death toll at 250,000 civilians . Most of China 's industry had already been captured or destroyed by Japan , and the Soviet Union refused to allow the United States to supply China through Kazakhstan into Xinjiang as the Xinjiang warlord Sheng Shicai had turned anti-Soviet in 1942 with Chiang 's approval . For these reasons , the Chinese government never had the supplies and equipment needed to mount major counter-offensives . Despite the severe shortage of matériel , in 1943 , the Chinese were successful in repelling major Japanese offensives in Hubei and Changde . Chiang was named Allied commander - in - chief in the China theater in 1942 . American general Joseph Stilwell served for a time as Chiang 's chief of staff , while simultaneously commanding American forces in the China - Burma - India Theater . For many reasons , relations between Stilwell and Chiang soon broke down . Many historians ( such as Barbara W. Tuchman ) have suggested it was largely due to the corruption and inefficiency of the Kuomintang ( KMT ) government , while others ( such as Ray Huang and Hans van de Ven ) have depicted it as a more complicated situation . Stilwell had a strong desire to assume total control of Chinese troops and pursue an aggressive strategy , while Chiang preferred a patient and less expensive strategy of outwaiting the Japanese . Chiang continued to maintain a defensive posture despite Allied pleas to actively break the Japanese blockade , because China had already suffered tens of millions of war casualties and believed that Japan would eventually capitulate in the face of America 's overwhelming industrial output . For these reasons the other Allies gradually began to lose confidence in the Chinese ability to conduct offensive operations from the Asian mainland , and instead concentrated their efforts against the Japanese in the Pacific Ocean Areas and South West Pacific Area , employing an island hopping strategy . Longstanding differences in national interest and political stance among China , the United States , and the United Kingdom remained in place . British Prime Minister Winston Churchill was reluctant to devote British troops , many of whom had been routed by the Japanese in earlier campaigns , to the reopening of the Burma Road ; Stilwell , on the other hand , believed that reopening the road was vital , as all China 's mainland ports were under Japanese control . The Allies ' `` Europe First '' policy did not sit well with Chiang , while the later British insistence that China send more and more troops to Indochina for use in the Burma Campaign was seen by Chiang as an attempt to use Chinese manpower to defend British colonial holdings . Chiang also believed that China should divert its crack army divisions from Burma to eastern China to defend the airbases of the American bombers that he hoped would defeat Japan through bombing , a strategy that American general Claire Lee Chennault supported but which Stilwell strongly opposed . In addition , Chiang voiced his support of Indian independence in a 1942 meeting with Mahatma Gandhi , which further soured the relationship between China and the United Kingdom . American and Canadian - born Chinese were recruited to act as covert operatives in Japanese - occupied China ( Canadian - born Chinese who had not been granted citizenship were trained by the British army ) . Employing their racial background as a disguise , their mandate was to blend in with local citizens and wage a campaign of sabotage . Activities focused on destruction of Japanese transportation of supplies ( signaling bomber destruction of railroads , bridges ) . Chinese forces invaded northern Burma in late 1943 besieged Japanese troops in Myitkyina and captured Mount Song . The British and Commonwealth forces had their operation in Mission 204 which attempted to provide assistance to the Chinese Nationalist Army . The first phase in 1942 under command of SOE achieved very little but lessons were learned and a second more successful phase , commenced in February 1943 under British Military command , was conducted before the Japanese Operation Ichi - Go offensive in 1944 compelled evacuation . The United States saw the Chinese theater as a means to tie up a large number of Japanese troops , as well as being a location for American airbases from which to strike the Japanese home islands . In 1944 , with the Japanese position in the Pacific deteriorating rapidly , the IJA mobilized over 400,000 men and launched Operation Ichi - Go , their largest offensive of World War II , to attack the American airbases in China and link up the railway between Manchuria and Vietnam . This brought major cities in Hunan , Henan and Guangxi under Japanese occupation . The failure of Chinese forces to defend these areas encouraged Stilwell to attempt to gain overall command of the Chinese army , and his subsequent showdown with Chiang led to his replacement by Major General Albert Coady Wedemeyer . By the end of 1944 Chinese troops under the command of Sun Li - jen attacking from India , and those under Wei Lihuang attacking from Yunnan , joined forces in Mong - Yu , successfully driving the Japanese out of North Burma and securing the Ledo Road , China 's vital supply artery . In Spring 1945 the Chinese launched offensives that retook Hunan and Guangxi . With the Chinese army progressing well in training and equipment , Wedemeyer planned to launch Operation Carbonado in summer 1945 to retake Guangdong , thus obtaining a coastal port , and from there drive northwards toward Shanghai . However , the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki and Soviet invasion of Manchuria hastened Japanese surrender and these plans were not put into action . Foreign support for China ( edit ) See also : Motives of the Second Sino - Japanese War Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union provided aid to China at the start of the Second Sino - Japanese War . By 1940 the United States had become China 's main diplomatic , financial and military supporter . German support ( edit ) Main article : Sino - German cooperation ( 1911 -- 1941 ) Prior to the war , Germany and China were in close economic and military cooperation , with Germany helping China modernize its industry and military in exchange for raw materials . More than half of German arms exports during its rearmament period were to China . Germany sent military advisers such as Alexander von Falkenhausen to China to help the KMT government reform its armed forces . Some divisions began training to German standards and were to form the core of modern NRA forces . These 30 German - trained divisions failed to materialize , however , as Germany withdrew its support in 1938 in favor of an alliance with Japan against the Soviet Union . Soviet support ( edit ) I - 16 with Chinese insignia . I - 16 was the main fighter plane used by the Chinese Air Force and Soviet volunteers . The Soviet Union defeated Japan in the Battles of Khalkhin Gol in May -- September 1939 , leaving the Japanese reluctant to fight the Soviets again . After Germany and Japan signed the anti-communist ( Anti-Comintern Pact ) , the Soviet Union hoped to keep China fighting , in order to deter a Japanese invasion of Siberia and save itself from a two - front war . In September 1937 , they signed the Sino - Soviet Non-Aggression Pact and approved Operation Zet , the formation of a secret Soviet volunteer air force , in which Soviet technicians upgraded and ran some of China 's transportation systems . Bombers , fighters , supplies and advisors arrived , including Soviet general Vasily Chuikov , future victor in the Battle of Stalingrad . Prior to the Western Allies , the Russians provided the most foreign aid to China : some $250 million in credits for munitions and other supplies . In April 1941 , Soviet aid ended with the Soviet -- Japanese Neutrality Pact and the beginning of the Great Patriotic War . This pact enabled the Soviet Union to avoid fighting against Germany and Japan at the same time . In August 1945 , Soviet Union annulled the neutrality pact with Japan and invaded Manchuria , Inner Mongolia , the Kuril Islands , and northern Korea . The Soviets also continued to support the Chinese Communist Party . In total , 3,665 Soviet advisors and pilots served in China , and 227 of them died fighting there . Allied support ( edit ) Flying Tigers Commander Claire Lee Chennault From December 1937 events such as the Japanese attack on the USS Panay and the Nanking Massacre swung public opinion in the West sharply against Japan and increased their fear of Japanese expansion , which prompted the United States , the United Kingdom , and France to provide loan assistance for war supply contracts to the Republic of China . Australia also prevented a Japanese government - owned company from taking over an iron mine in Australia , and banned iron ore exports in 1938 . However , in July 1939 , negotiations between Japanese Foreign Minister Arita Khatira and the British Ambassador in Tokyo , Robert Craigie , led to an agreement by which Great Britain recognized Japanese conquests in China . At the same time , the U.S. government extended a trade agreement with Japan for six months , then fully restored it . Under the agreement , Japan purchased trucks for the Kwantung Army , machine tools for aircraft factories , strategic materials ( steel and scrap iron up to October 16 , 1940 , petrol and petroleum products up to June 26 , 1941 ) , and various other much - needed supplies . A `` blood chit '' issued to American Volunteer Group pilots requesting all Chinese to offer rescue and protection . Japan invaded and occupied the northern part of French Indochina ( present - day Vietnam , Laos , Cambodia ) in September 1940 to prevent China from receiving the 10,000 tons of materials delivered monthly by the Allies via the Haiphong -- Yunnan Fou Railway line . On June 22 , 1941 , Germany attacked the Soviet Union . In spite of non-aggression pacts or trade connections , Hitler 's assault threw the world into a frenzy of re-aligning political outlooks and strategic prospects . On July 21 , Japan occupied the southern part of French Indochina ( Southern Vietnam and Cambodia ) , contravening a 1940 `` Gentlemen 's Agreement '' not to move into southern French Indochina . From bases in Cambodia and Southern Vietnam , Japanese planes could attack Malaya , Singapore , and the Dutch East Indies . As the Japanese occupation of Northern French Indochina in 1940 had already cut off supplies from the West to China , the move into Southern French Indochina was viewed as a direct threat to British and Dutch colonies . Many principal figures in the Japanese government and military ( particularly the navy ) were against the move , as they foresaw that it would invite retaliation from the West . Free Thai , American and Chinese military officers in China during the war . On 24 July 1941 Roosevelt requested Japan withdraw all its forces from Indochina . Two days later the USA and the UK began an oil embargo ; two days after that the Netherlands joined them . This was a decisive moment in the Second Sino - Japanese war . The loss of oil imports made it impossible for Japan to continue operations in China on a long term basis . It set the stage for Japan to launch a series of military attacks against the Allies , including the attack on Pearl Harbor on December 7 , 1941 . Play media US Air Forces video : Flying Tigers Bite Back In mid-1941 , the United States government financed the creation of the American Volunteer Group ( AVG ) , or Flying Tigers , to replace the withdrawn Soviet volunteers and aircraft . Contrary to popular perception , the Flying Tigers did not enter actual combat until after the United States had declared war on Japan . Led by Claire Lee Chennault , their early combat success of 300 kills against a loss of 12 of their newly introduced shark painted P - 40 fighters heavily armed with 6X50 caliber machine guns and very fast diving speeds earned them wide recognition at a time when the Chinese Air Force and Allies in the Pacific and SE Asia were suffering heavy losses , and soon afterwards their `` boom and zoom '' high - speed hit - and - run dissimilar air combat tactics would be adopted by the United States Army Air Forces . The Sino - American Cooperative Organization was an organization created by the SACO Treaty signed by the Republic of China and the United States of America in 1942 that established a mutual intelligence gathering entity in China between the respective nations against Japan . It operated in China jointly along with the Office of Strategic Services ( OSS ) , America 's first intelligence agency and forerunner of the CIA while also serving as joint training program between the two nations . Among all the wartime missions that Americans set up in China , SACO was the only one that adopted a policy of `` total immersion '' with the Chinese . The `` Rice Paddy Navy '' or `` What - the - Hell Gang '' operated in the China - Burma - India theater , advising and training , forecasting weather and scouting landing areas for USN fleet and Gen Claire Chennault 's 14th AF , rescuing downed American flyers , and intercepting Japanese radio traffic . An underlying mission objective during the last year of war was the development and preparation of the China coast for Allied penetration and occupation . The Foochow ( Fujian Province ) was scouted as a potential staging area and springboard for the future military landing of Allies of World War II to Japan . A British - Australian commando operation , Mission 204 , was initialized in February 1942 to provide training to Chinese guerrilla troops . Commandos working with the Free Thai Movement also operated in China , mostly while on their way into Thailand . Involvement of French Indochina ( edit ) See also : Japanese invasion of French Indochina and Japanese coup d'état in French Indochina The Chinese Kuomintang also supported the Vietnamese Việt Nam Quốc Dân Đảng ( VNQDD ) in its battle against French and Japanese imperialism . In Guangxi Chinese military leaders were organizing Vietnamese nationalists against the Japanese . The VNQDD had been active in Guangxi and some of their members had joined the KMT army . Under the umbrella of KMT activities , a broad alliance of nationalists emerged . With Ho at the forefront , the Viet Nam Doc Lap Dong Minh Hoi ( Vietnamese Independence League , usually known as the Viet Minh ) was formed and based in the town of Jingxi . The pro-VNQDD nationalist Ho Ngoc Lam , a KMT army officer and former disciple of Phan Bội Châu , was named as the deputy of Phạm Văn Đồng , later to be Ho 's Prime Minister . The front was later broadened and renamed the Viet Nam Giai Phong Dong Minh ( Vietnam Liberation League ) . The Viet Nam Revolutionary League was a union of various Vietnamese nationalist groups , run by the pro Chinese VNQDD . Chinese KMT General Zhang Fakui created the league to further Chinese influence in Indochina , against the French and Japanese . Its stated goal was for unity with China under the Three Principles of the People , created by KMT founder Dr. Sun and opposition to Japanese and French Imperialists . The Revolutionary League was controlled by Nguyen Hai Than , who was born in China and could not speak Vietnamese . General Zhang shrewdly blocked the Communists of Vietnam , and Ho Chi Minh from entering the league , as Zhang 's main goal was Chinese influence in Indochina . The KMT utilized these Vietnamese nationalists during World War II against Japanese forces . Franklin D. Roosevelt , through General Stilwell , privately made it clear that they preferred that the French not reacquire French Indochina ( modern day Vietnam , Cambodia , and Laos ) after the war was over . Roosevelt offered Chiang Kai - shek control of all of Indochina . It was said that Chiang Kai - shek replied : `` Under no circumstances ! '' After the war , 200,000 Chinese troops under General Lu Han were sent by Chiang Kai - shek to northern Indochina ( north of the 16th parallel ) to accept the surrender of Japanese occupying forces there , and remained in Indochina until 1946 , when the French returned . The Chinese used the VNQDD , the Vietnamese branch of the Chinese Kuomintang , to increase their influence in Indochina and to put pressure on their opponents . Chiang Kai - shek threatened the French with war in response to manoeuvering by the French and Ho Chi Minh 's forces against each other , forcing them to come to a peace agreement . In February , 1946 he also forced the French to surrender all of their concessions in China and to renounce their extraterritorial privileges in exchange for the Chinese withdrawing from northern Indochina and allowing French troops to reoccupy the region . Following France 's agreement to these demands , the withdrawal of Chinese troops began in March 1946 . Contemporaneous wars being fought by China ( edit ) The Chinese were not entirely devoting all their resources to the Japanese , because they were fighting several other wars at the same time . Rebellion occurred in the Republic of China in 1937 during the Xinjiang War ( 1937 ) when a pro Soviet invasion was made of that province led by Russian troops and commanded by Hui general Ma Zhanshan ( previously one of Chiang Kai - shek 's suboordinates ) . It was resisted by ethnic Hui general Ma Hushan of the KMT 36th Division ( National Revolutionary Army ) . General Ma Hushan was expecting help from Nanjing , as he exchanged messages with Chiang regarding the Soviet attack . But , both the Second Sino - Japanese War and the Xinjiang War erupted simultaneously leaving Chiang and Ma Hushan each on their own to confront the Japanese and Soviet forces . The Republic of China government was fully aware of the Soviet invasion of Xinjiang province , and Soviet troops moving around Xinjiang and Gansu , but it was forced to mask these maneuvers to the public as `` Japanese propaganda '' to avoid an international incident and for continued military supplies from the Soviets . Because the pro-Soviet governor Sheng Shicai controlled Xinjiang , which was garrisoned with Soviet troops in Turfan , the Chinese government had to keep troops stationed there as well . General Ma Buqing was in virtual control of the Gansu corridor at that time . Ma Buqing had earlier fought against the Japanese , but because the Soviet threat was great , Chiang changed Ma 's position , in July , 1942 , by instructing Ma to move 30,000 of his troops to the Tsaidam marsh in the Qaidam Basin of Qinghai . Chiang named Ma as Reclamation Commissioner , to threaten Sheng Shicai 's southern flank in Xinjiang , which bordered Tsaidam . After Ma evacuated his positions in Gansu , Kuomintang troops from central China flooded the area , and infiltrated Soviet occupied Xinjiang , gradually reclaiming it and forcing Sheng Shicai to break with the Soviets . The Kuomintang ordered Ma Bufang several times to march his troops into Xinjiang to intimidate the pro-Soviet Governor Sheng Shicai . This helped provide protection for Chinese settling in Xinjiang . The Ili Rebellion broke out in Xinjiang when the Kuomintang Hui Officer Liu Bin - Di was killed while fighting Turkic Uyghur Rebels in November 1944 . The Soviet Union supported the Turkic rebels against the Kuomintang , and Kuomintang forces were fighting back . Use of chemical and bacteriological weapons ( edit ) Japanese Special Naval Landing Forces with gas masks and rubber gloves during a chemical attack near Chapei in the Battle of Shanghai . Despite Article 23 of the Hague Conventions of 1899 and 1907 , article V of the Treaty in Relation to the Use of Submarines and Noxious Gases in Warfare , article 171 of the Treaty of Versailles and a resolution adopted by the League of Nations on May 14 , 1938 , condemning the use of poison gas by the Empire of Japan , the Imperial Japanese Army frequently used chemical weapons during the war . According to historians Yoshiaki Yoshimi and Seiya Matsuno , the chemical weapons were authorized by specific orders given by Japanese Emperor Hirohito himself , transmitted by the Imperial General Headquarters . For example , the Emperor authorized the use of toxic gas on 375 separate occasions during the Battle of Wuhan from August to October 1938 . They were also used during the invasion of Changde . Those orders were transmitted either by Prince Kan'in Kotohito or General Hajime Sugiyama . Bacteriological weapons provided by Shirō Ishii 's units were also profusely used . For example , in 1940 , the Imperial Japanese Army Air Force bombed Ningbo with fleas carrying the bubonic plague . During the Khabarovsk War Crime Trials the accused , such as Major General Kiyashi Kawashima , testified that , in 1941 , some 40 members of Unit 731 air - dropped plague - contaminated fleas on Changde . These attacks caused epidemic plague outbreaks . In the Zhejiang - Jiangxi Campaign , of the 10,000 Japanese soldiers who fell ill with the disease , about 1,700 Japanese troops died when the biological weapons rebounded on their own forces . Use of suicide attacks ( edit ) Chinese armies deployed `` Dare to Die Corps '' ( traditional Chinese : 敢死隊 ; simplified Chinese : 敢死队 ; pinyin : gǎnsǐduì ) or `` Suicide squads '' against the Japanese . A `` dare to die corps '' was effectively used against Japanese units at the Battle of Taierzhuang . Chinese suicide bomber putting on an explosive vest made out of Model 24 hand grenades to use in an attack on Japanese tanks at the Battle of Taierzhuang . Suicide bombing was also used against the Japanese . A Chinese soldier detonated a grenade vest and killed 20 Japanese at Sihang Warehouse . Chinese troops strapped explosives like grenade packs or dynamite to their bodies and threw themselves under Japanese tanks to blow them up . This tactic was used during the Battle of Shanghai , where a Chinese suicide bomber stopped a Japanese tank column by exploding himself beneath the lead tank , and at the Battle of Taierzhuang where dynamite and grenades were strapped on by Chinese troops who rushed at Japanese tanks and blew themselves up . During one incident at Taierzhuang , Chinese suicide bombers destroyed four Japanese tanks with grenade bundles . Ethnic minorities ( edit ) Main article : Chinese ethnic minorities in the Second Sino - Japanese War Japan attempted to reach out to ethnic minorities in order to rally them to their side , but only succeeded with certain Manchu , Mongol , Uyghur and Tibetan elements . Japanese atrocities committed against Hui muslims ( edit ) During the Second Sino - Japanese war the Japanese followed what has been referred to as a `` killing policy '' and destroyed many mosques . According to Wan Lei , `` Statistics showed that the Japanese destroyed 220 mosques and killed countless Hui people by April 1941 . '' After the Nanking Massacre mosques in Nanjing were found to be filled with dead bodies . They also followed a policy of economic oppression which involved the destruction of mosques and Hui communities and made many Hui jobless and homeless . Another policy was one of deliberate humiliation . This included soldiers smearing mosques with pork fat , forcing Hui to butcher pigs to feed the soldiers , and forcing girls to supposedly train as geishas and singers but in fact made them serve as sex slaves . Hui cemeteries were destroyed for military reasons . Many Hui fought in the war against Japan such as Bai Chongxi , Ma Hongbin , Ma Hongkui , Ma Bufang , Ma Zhanshan , Ma Biao , Ma Zhongying , Ma Buqing and Ma Hushan . Qinghai Tibetans served in the Qinghai army against the Japanese . The Qinghai Tibetans view the Tibetans of Central Tibet ( Tibet proper , ruled by the Dalai Lamas from Lhasa ) as distinct and different from themselves , and even take pride in the fact that they were not ruled by Lhasa ever since the collapse of the Tibetan Empire . Xining was subjected to aerial bombardment by Japanese warplanes in 1941 , causing all ethnicities in Qinghai to unite against the Japanese . General Han Youwen directed the defense of the city of Xining during air raids by Japanese planes . Han survived an aerial bombardment by Japanese planes in Xining while he was being directed via telephone by Ma Bufang , who hid in an air raid shelter in a military barracks . The bombing resulted Han being buried in rubble , though he was later rescued . Chinese Muslim Cavalry Chinese Muslim soldiers Conclusion and aftermath ( edit ) End of Pacific War and surrender of Japanese troops in China ( edit ) Main articles : Atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki , Soviet invasion of Manchuria , and Japanese Instrument of Surrender Japanese troops surrendering to the Chinese . The United States and the Soviet Union put an end to the Sino - Japanese War ( and World War II ) by attacking the Japanese with a new weapon ( on America 's part ) and an incursion into Manchuria ( on the Soviet Union 's part ) . On August 6 , 1945 , an American B - 29 bomber , the Enola Gay , dropped the first atomic bomb used in combat on Hiroshima , killing tens of thousands and leveling the city . On August 9 , 1945 , the Soviet Union renounced its non-aggression pact with Japan and attacked the Japanese in Manchuria , fulfilling its Yalta Conference pledge to attack the Japanese within three months after the end of the war in Europe . The attack was made by three Soviet army groups . On that same day , a second equally destructive atomic bomb was dropped by the United States on Nagasaki . In less than two weeks the Kwantung Army , which was the primary Japanese fighting force , consisting of over a million men but lacking in adequate armor , artillery , or air support , had been destroyed by the Soviets . Japanese Emperor Hirohito officially capitulated to the Allies on August 15 , 1945 , and the official surrender was signed aboard the battleship USS Missouri on September 2 , 1945 . After the Allied victory in the Pacific , General Douglas MacArthur ordered all Japanese forces within China ( excluding Manchuria ) , Formosa and French Indochina north of 16 ° north latitude to surrender to Chiang Kai - shek , and the Japanese troops in China formally surrendered on September 9 , 1945 at 9 : 00 . The ninth hour of the ninth day of the ninth month was chosen in echo of the Armistice of 11 November 1918 ( on the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month ) and because `` nine '' is homophone of the word for `` long lasting '' in Chinese ( to suggest that the peace won would last forever ) . Post-war struggle and resumption of civil War ( edit ) Main article : Chinese Civil War The Chinese return to Liuzhou in July 1945 Chiang Kai - shek and Mao Zedong in 1946 In 1945 , China emerged from the war nominally a great military power but economically weak and on the verge of all - out civil war . The economy was sapped by the military demands of a long costly war and internal strife , by spiraling inflation , and by corruption in the Nationalist government that included profiteering , speculation and hoarding . Furthermore , as part of the Yalta Conference , which allowed a Soviet sphere of influence in Manchuria , the Soviets dismantled and removed more than half of the industrial equipment left there by the Japanese before handing over Manchuria to China . Large swathes of the prime farming areas had been ravaged by the fighting and there was starvation in the wake of the war . Many towns and cities were destroyed , and millions were rendered homeless by floods . The problems of rehabilitation and reconstruction after the ravages of a protracted war were staggering , and the war left the Nationalists severely weakened , and their policies left them unpopular . Meanwhile , the war strengthened the Communists both in popularity and as a viable fighting force . At Yan'an and elsewhere in the communist controlled areas , Mao Zedong was able to adapt Marxism -- Leninism to Chinese conditions . He taught party cadres to lead the masses by living and working with them , eating their food , and thinking their thoughts . The Chinese Red Army fostered an image of conducting guerrilla warfare in defense of the people . Communist troops adapted to changing wartime conditions and became a seasoned fighting force . With skillful organization and propaganda , the Communists increased party membership from 100,000 in 1937 to 1.2 million by 1945 . Mao also began to execute his plan to establish a new China by rapidly moving his forces from Yan'an and elsewhere to Manchuria . This opportunity was available to the Communists because although Nationalist representatives were not invited to Yalta , they had been consulted and had agreed to the Soviet invasion of Manchuria in the belief that the Soviet Union would cooperate only with the Nationalist government after the war . However , the Soviet occupation of Manchuria was long enough to allow the Communist forces to move in en masse and arm themselves with the military hardware surrendered by the Japanese army , quickly establish control in the countryside and move into position to encircle the Nationalist government army in major cities of northeast China . Following that , the Chinese Civil War broke out between the Nationalists and Communists , which concluded with the Communist victory in mainland China and the retreat of the Nationalists to Taiwan in 1949 . Peace Treaty and Taiwan ( edit ) The Taiwan Strait and the island of Formosa . Main article : Legal status of Taiwan Formosa and the Penghu islands were put under the administrative control of the Republic of China ( ROC ) government in 1945 by the United Nations Relief and Rehabilitation Administration . The ROC proclaimed Taiwan Retrocession Day on October 25 , 1945 . However , due to the unresolved Chinese Civil War , neither the newly established People 's Republic of China ( PRC ) in mainland China nor the Nationalist ROC that retreated to Taiwan was invited to sign the Treaty of San Francisco , as neither had shown full and complete legal capacity to enter into an international legally binding agreement . Since China was not present , the Japanese only formally renounced the territorial sovereignty of Taiwan and Penghu islands without specifying to which country Japan relinquished the sovereignty , and the treaty was signed in 1951 and came into force in 1952 . In 1952 , the Treaty of Taipei was signed separately between the ROC and Japan that basically followed the same guideline of the Treaty of San Francisco , not specifying which country has sovereignty over Taiwan . However , Article 10 of the treaty states that the Taiwanese people and the juridical person should be the people and the juridical person of the ROC . Both the PRC and ROC governments base their claims to Taiwan on the Japanese Instrument of Surrender which specifically accepted the Potsdam Declaration which refers to the Cairo Declaration . Disputes over the precise de jure sovereign of Taiwan persist to the present . On a de facto basis , sovereignty over Taiwan has been and continues to be exercised by the ROC . Japan 's position has been to avoid commenting on Taiwan 's status , maintaining that Japan renounced all claims to sovereignty over its former colonial possessions after World War II , including Taiwan . Aftermath ( edit ) China War of Resistance Against Japan Memorial Museum on the site where Marco Polo Bridge Incident took place . The question as to which political group directed the Chinese war effort and exerted most of the effort to resist the Japanese remains a controversial issue . In the Chinese People 's War of Resistance Against Japan Memorial near the Marco Polo Bridge and in mainland Chinese textbooks , the People 's Republic of China ( PRC ) claims that the Nationalists mostly avoided fighting the Japanese to preserve their strength for a final showdown with the Communist Party of China ( CPC or CCP ) , while the Communists were the main military force in the Chinese resistance efforts . Recently , however , with a change in the political climate , the CPC has admitted that certain Nationalist generals made important contributions in resisting the Japanese . The official history in mainland China now states that the KMT fought a bloody , yet indecisive , frontal war against Japan , while the CPC engaged the Japanese forces in far greater numbers behind enemy lines . For the sake of Chinese reunification and appeasing the Republic of China ( ROC ) on Taiwan , the PRC has begun to `` acknowledge '' the Nationalists and the Communists as `` equal '' contributors , because the victory over Japan belonged to the Chinese people , rather than to any political party . The Nationalists suffered higher casualties because they were the main combatants opposing the Japanese in each of the 22 major battles ( involving more than 100,000 troops on both sides ) between China and Japan . The Communist forces , by contrast , usually avoided pitched battles with the Japanese and generally limited their combat to guerilla actions ( the Hundred Regiments Offensive and the Battle of Pingxingguan are notable exceptions ) . The Nationalist committed their strongest divisions in early battle against the Japanese ( including the 36th , 87th , 88th divisions , the crack divisions of Chiang 's Central Army ) to defend Shanghai and continued to deploy most of their forces to fight the Japanese even as the Communists changed their strategy to engage mainly in a political offensive against the Japanese while declaring that the CPC should `` save and preserve our strength and wait for favorable timing '' by the end of 1941 . China - Japan relations ( edit ) Today , the war is a major point of contention and resentment between China and Japan . The war remains a major roadblock for Sino - Japanese relations , and many people , particularly in China , still harbor grudges over the war and related issues . Issues regarding the current historical outlook on the war exist . For example , the Japanese government has been accused of historical revisionism by allowing the approval of a few school textbooks omitting or glossing over Japan 's militant past , although the most recent controversial book , the New History Textbook was used by only 0.039 % of junior high schools in Japan and despite the efforts of the Japanese nationalist textbook reformers , by the late 1990s the most common Japanese schoolbooks contained references to , for instance , the Nanking Massacre , Unit 731 , and the comfort women of World War II , all historical issues which have faced challenges from ultranationalists in the past . In response to criticism of Japanese textbook revisionism , the PRC government has been accused of using the war to stir up already growing anti-Japanese sentiments in order to spur nationalistic feelings . Aftermath in Taiwan ( edit ) Traditionally , the Republic of China government has held celebrations marking the Victory Day on September 9 ( now known as Armed Forces Day ) and Taiwan 's Retrocession Day on October 25 . However , after the Democratic Progressive Party ( DPP ) won the presidential election in 2000 , these national holidays commemorating the war have been cancelled as the pro-independent DPP does not see the relevancy of celebrating events that happened in mainland China . Meanwhile , many KMT supporters , particularly veterans who retreated with the government in 1949 , still have an emotional interest in the war . For example , in celebrating the 60th anniversary of the end of war in 2005 , the cultural bureau of KMT stronghold Taipei held a series of talks in the Sun Yat - sen Memorial Hall regarding the war and post-war developments , while the KMT held its own exhibit in the KMT headquarters . Whereas the KMT won the presidential election in 2008 , the ROC government resumed commemorating the war . Japanese women left behind in China ( edit ) Main article : Japanese people in China Several thousand Japanese who were sent as colonizers to Manchukuo and Inner Mongolia were left behind in China . The majority of Japanese left behind in China were women , and these Japanese women mostly married Chinese men and became known as `` stranded war wives '' ( zanryu fujin ) . Because they had children fathered by Chinese men , the Japanese women were not allowed to bring their Chinese families back with them to Japan so most of them stayed . Japanese law only allowed children fathered by Japanese fathers to become Japanese citizens . Korean women left behind in China ( edit ) Main article : Koreans in China In China some Korean comfort women stayed behind instead of going back to their native land . Most Korean comfort women left behind in China married Chinese men . Casualties assessment ( edit ) See also : Japanese war crimes , 1938 Yellow River flood , and 1938 Changsha Fire The conflict lasted for eight years , two months and two days ( measured from July 7 , 1937 to September 9 , 1945 ) . The casualties from this war in 1937 -- 1945 were more that half of total casualties of the Pacific War . Chinese casualties ( edit ) Casualties of a mass panic during a June 1941 Japanese bombing of Chongqing . More than 5000 civilians died during the first two days of air raids in 1939 Chinese sources list the total number of military and non-military casualties , both dead and wounded , at 35 million . Most Western historians believed that the total number of casualties was at least 20 million . The official PRC statistics for China 's civilian and military casualties in the Second Sino - Japanese War from 1937 to 1945 are 20 million dead and 15 million wounded . The figures for total military casualties , killed and wounded are : NRA 3.2 million ; Communist 500,000 . The official account of the war published in Taiwan reported that the Nationalist Chinese Army lost 3,238,000 men ( 1,797,000 wounded , 1,320,000 killed , and 120,000 missing ) and 5,787,352 civilians casualties putting the total number of casualties at 9,025,352 . The Nationalists fought in 22 major engagements , most of which involved more than 100,000 troops on both sides , 1,171 minor engagements most of which involved more than 50,000 troops on both sides , and 38,931 skirmishes . An academic study published in the United States estimates military casualties : 1.5 million killed in battle , 750,000 missing in action , 1.5 million deaths due to disease and 3 million wounded ; civilian casualties : due to military activity , killed 1,073,496 and 237,319 wounded ; 335,934 killed and 426,249 wounded in Japanese air attacks . According to historian Mitsuyoshi Himeta , at least 2.7 million civilians died during the `` kill all , loot all , burn all '' operation ( Three Alls Policy , or sanko sakusen ) implemented in May 1942 in north China by general Yasuji Okamura and authorized on December 3 , 1941 by Imperial Headquarter Order number 575 . The property loss suffered by the Chinese was valued at 383 billion US dollars according to the currency exchange rate in July 1937 , roughly 50 times the gross domestic product of Japan at that time ( US $7.7 billion ) . In addition , the war created 95 million refugees . Japanese casualties ( edit ) The Japanese recorded around 1.1 to 1.9 million military casualties during all of World War II ( which include killed , wounded and missing ) . The official death - toll of Japanese men killed in China , according to the Japan Defense Ministry , is 480,000 . Based on the investigation of Japanese Yomiuri Shimbun , the military death toll of Japan in China is about 700,000 since 1937 ( excluding the death in Manchuria ) . Another source from Hilary Conroy claim that a total of 447,000 Japanese soldiers died in China during the Second Sino - Japanese War . Of the 1,130,000 Imperial Japanese Army soldiers who died during World War II , 39 percent died in China . Then in `` War Without Mercy '' , John Dower claim that a total of 396,000 Japanese soldiers died in China during the Second Sino - Japanese War . Of this number , the Imperial Japanese Army lost 388,605 soldiers and the Imperial Japanese Navy lost 8,000 soldiers . Another 54,000 soldiers also died after the war had ended , mostly from illness and starvation . Of the 1,740,955 Japanese soldiers who died during World War II , 22 percent died in China . Japanese statistics , however , lack complete estimates for the wounded . From 1937 to 1941 , 185,647 Japanese soldiers were killed in China and 520,000 were wounded . Disease also incurred critical losses on Japanese forces . From 1937 to 1941 , 430,000 Japanese soldiers were recorded as being sick . In North China alone , 18,000 soldiers were evacuated back to Japan for illnesses in 1938 , 23,000 in 1939 , and 15,000 in 1940 . From 1941 to 1945 : 202,958 dead ; another 54,000 dead after war 's end . Chinese forces also report that by May 1945 , 22,293 Japanese soldiers were captured as prisoners . Many more Japanese soldiers surrendered when the war ended . Contemporary studies from the Beijing Central Compilation and Translation Press have revealed that the Japanese suffered a total of 2,227,200 casualties , including 1,055,000 dead and 1,172,341 injured . This Chinese publication analyses statistics provided by Japanese publications and claimed these numbers were largely based on Japanese publications . Both Nationalist and Communist Chinese sources report that their respective forces were responsible for the deaths of over 1.7 million Japanese soldiers . Nationalist War Minister He Yingqin himself contested the Communist 's claim , finding it impossible for a force of `` untrained , undisciplined , poorly equipped '' guerrillas of Communist forces to have killed so many enemy soldiers . The National Chinese authorities ridiculed Japanese estimates of Chinese casualties . In 1940 , the National Herald stated that the Japanese exaggerated Chinese casualties , while deliberately concealing the true amount of Japanese casualties , releasing false figures that made them appear lower . The article reports on the casualty situation of the war up to 1940 . Number of troops involved ( edit ) Chinese forces ( edit ) Further information : Chinese armies in the Second Sino - Japanese War National Revolutionary Army ( edit ) Main article : National Revolutionary Army Flag of the National Revolutionary Army . ( later as the Republic of China Army ) With Chiang Kai - shek as the highest commander , the NRA is recognized as the unified armed force of China during the war . Throughout its lifespan , it employed approximately 4,300,000 regulars , in 370 Standard Divisions ( simplified Chinese : 正式 师 ; traditional Chinese : 正式 師 ) , 46 New Divisions ( simplified Chinese : 新 编 师 ; traditional Chinese : 新編 師 ) , 12 Cavalry Divisions ( simplified Chinese : 骑兵 师 ; traditional Chinese : 騎兵 師 ) , eight New Cavalry Divisions ( simplified Chinese : 新 编 骑兵 师 ; traditional Chinese : 新編 騎兵 師 ) , 66 Temporary Divisions ( simplified Chinese : 暂 编 师 ; traditional Chinese : 暫 編 師 ) , and 13 Reserve Divisions ( simplified Chinese : 预备 师 ; traditional Chinese : 預備 師 ) , for a grand total of 515 divisions . However , many divisions were formed from two or more other divisions , and many were not active at the same time . The number of active divisions , at the start of the war in 1937 , was about 170 NRA divisions . The average NRA division had 4,000 -- 5,000 troops . A Chinese army was roughly the equivalent to a Japanese division in terms of manpower but the Chinese forces largely lacked artillery , heavy weapons , and motorized transport . The shortage of military hardware meant that three to four Chinese armies had the firepower of only one Japanese division . Because of these material constraints , available artillery and heavy weapons were usually assigned to specialist brigades rather than to the general division , which caused more problems as the Chinese command structure lacked precise coordination . The relative fighting strength of a Chinese division was even weaker when relative capacity in aspects of warfare , such as intelligence , logistics , communications , and medical services , are taken into account . Although Chiang Kai - shek is recognized as the highest commander in name , his power on NRA was in the effect limited . This was due to the fact that the NRA was an alliance of powers such as warlords , regional militarists and communists . Before the alliance was formed under the pressure of Japanese invasion , these powers had their own land , struggled or allied with each other under their own interests and mutual conflicts were common . Because of this , NRA could be unofficially divided into 3 groups , Central Army , Regional Army and Communist forces . Loyal to Chiang Kai - shek , the Central Army ( simplified Chinese : 中央 军 ; traditional Chinese : 中央 軍 ) was best equipped . Most of the officers in the Central Army were trained by the Whampoa Military Academy , where Chiang Kai - shek served as the first president . Before the war , the Central Army mainly controlled east China . The Regional Army ( simplified Chinese : 省 军 ; traditional Chinese : 省 軍 ) consisted of various types of strengths from all the parts of China . Before the war , these strengths governed certain places and most of them admitted Chiang Kai - shek 's leader position . However , they did n't really follow Chiang 's command , nor received Chiang 's assistance . They generally ran independently . The notable strengths under this category included Guangxi , Shanxi , Yunnan and Ma clique . After the Xi'an Incident , Chiang stopped his offensive against the Chinese Red Army . Communists were then incorporated into the NRA to form the Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army , although their de facto commander was still Mao Zedong . Communists also led a large number of militias during the war . The NRA expanded from about 1.2 million in 1937 to 5.7 million in August 1945 , organized in 300 divisions . Japanese forces ( edit ) Imperial Japanese Army ( edit ) Main article : Imperial Japanese Army Flag of the Imperial Japanese Army . The Imperial Japanese Army ( IJA ) had approximately 3,200,000 regulars . More Japanese troops were quartered in China than deployed elsewhere in the Pacific Theater during the war . Japanese divisions ranged from 20,000 men in its divisions numbered less than 100 , to 10,000 men in divisions numbered greater than 100 . At the time of the attack on Pearl Harbor , the IJA had 51 divisions , of which 35 were in China , and 39 independent brigades , of which all but one were in China . This represented roughly 80 % of the IJA 's manpower . By October 1944 the IJA in China was divided into three strategic groupings . The China Expeditionary Army was dislocated along the coast . Its primary component was the 13th Army with four divisions and two brigades . The North China Area Army occupied the north - eastern China . It included the Kwantung Army with two divisions and six brigades , the Mongolian Garrison Army with one division and one brigade , and the 1st Army with two divisions and six brigades . The Sixth Area Army occupying the inland zone south of the Yellow River included : the 12th Army with four divisions , including one armoured , and one infantry brigade ; 34th Army with one division and four brigades along the Yangtze valley ; 11th Army with ten divisions ; 23rd Army with two divisions and five brigades . Collaborationist Chinese Army ( edit ) Main article : Collaborationist Chinese Army The Chinese armies allied to Japan had only 78,000 people in 1938 , but had grown to around 649,640 men by 1943 , and reached a maximum strength of 900,000 troops before the end of the war . Almost all of them belonged to Manchukuo , Provisional Government of the Republic of China ( Beijing ) , Reformed Government of the Republic of China ( Nanjing ) and the later Nanjing Nationalist Government ( Wang Jingwei regime ) . These collaborator troops were mainly assigned to garrison and logistics duties in their own territories , and were rarely fielded in combat because of low morale and Japanese distrust . They fared very poorly in skirmishes against both Chinese NRA and Communist forces . Military equipment ( edit ) National Revolutionary Army ( edit ) See also : Development of Chinese armoured forces ( 1927 -- 1945 ) , List of aircraft used in China before 1937 , Development of Chinese Nationalist air force ( 1937 -- 1945 ) , and List of World War II firearms of China The Central Army possessed 80 Army infantry divisions of 8,000 men each , nine independent brigades , nine cavalry divisions , two artillery brigades , 16 artillery regiments and three armored battalions . The Chinese Navy displaced only 59,000 tonnes and the Chinese Air Force comprised only about 700 obsolete aircraft . For regular provincial Chinese divisions their standard rifles were the Hanyang 88 ( copy of Gewehr 88 ) . Central army divisions were typically equipped with the Chiang Kai - shek rifle ( copy of Mauser Standard Model ) and Czechoslovakian vz. 24 . However , for most of the German - trained divisions , the standard firearms were German - made 7.92 mm Gewehr 98 and Karabiner 98k . The standard light machine gun was a local copy of the Czech 7.92 mm Brno ZB26 . There were also Belgian and French light machine guns . Provincial units generally did not possess any machine guns . Central Army units had one LMG per platoon on average . German - trained divisions ideally had 1 LMG per squad . Surprisingly , the NRA did not purchase any Maschinengewehr 34s from Germany , but did produce their own copies of them . Heavy machine guns were mainly locally - made Type 24 water - cooled Maxim guns , which were the Chinese copies of the German MG08 , and M1917 Browning machine guns chambered for the standard 8mm Mauser round . On average , every Central Army battalion would get one heavy machine gun ( about a third to half of what actual German divisions got during World War II ) . The standard weapon for NCOs and officers was the 7.63 mm Mauser C96 semi-automatic pistol , or full - automatic Mauser M1932 / M712 machine pistol . These full - automatic versions were used as substitutes for submachine guns ( such as the MP 18 ) and rifles that were in short supply within the Chinese army prior to the end of World War II . Throughout the Second Sino - Japanese War , particularly in the early years , the NRA also extensively used captured Japanese weapons and equipment as their own were in short supply . Some élite units also used Lend - Lease US equipment as the war progressed . Generally speaking , the regular provincial army divisions did not possess any artillery . However , some Central Army divisions were equipped with 37 mm PaK 35 / 36 anti-tank guns , and / or mortars from Oerlikon , Madsen , and Solothurn . Each infantry division had 6 French Brandt 81 mm mortars and 6 Solothurn 20 mm autocannons . Some independent brigades and artillery regiments were equipped with Bofors 72 mm L / 14 , or Krupp 72 mm L / 29 mountain guns and there were 24 Rheinmetall 150 mm L / 32 sFH 18 howitzers ( bought in 1934 ) and 24 Krupp 150 mm L / 30 sFH 18 howitzers ( bought in 1936 ) . At the start of the war , the NRA and the Tax Police Regiment had three tank battalions armed with German Panzer I light tanks and CV - 33 tankettes . After defeat in the Battle of Shanghai the remaining tanks , together with several hundred T - 26 and BT - 5 tanks acquired from the Soviet Union were reorganised into the 200th Division . Infantry uniforms were basically redesigned Zhongshan suits . Puttees were standard for soldiers and officers alike since the primary mode of movement for NRA troops was by foot . Troops were also issued sewn field caps . The helmets were the most distinguishing characteristic of these divisions . From the moment German M35 helmets ( standard issue for the Wehrmacht until late in the European theatre ) rolled off the production lines in 1935 , and until 1936 , the NRA imported 315,000 of these helmets , each with the Blue Sky with a White Sun emblem of the ROC on the sides . These helmets were worn by both elite German - trained divisions and regular Central Army divisions . Other helmets include the Adrian helmet , Brodie helmet and later M1 helmet . Other equipment included straw shoes for soldiers ( cloth shoes for Central Army ) , leather shoes for officers and leather boots for high - ranking officers . Every soldier was issued ammunition , ammunition pouches or harness , a water flask , combat knives , food bag , and a gas mask . On the other hand , warlord forces varied greatly in terms of equipment and training . Some warlord troops were notoriously under - equipped , such as Shanxi 's Dadao ( Chinese : 大刀 , a one - edged sword type close combat weapon ) Team and the Yunnan clique . Some , however , were highly professional forces with their own air force and navies . The quality of the New Guangxi clique was almost on par with the Central Army , as the Guangzhou region was wealthy and the local army could afford foreign instructors and arms . The Muslim Ma clique to the northwest was famed for its well - trained cavalry divisions . Imperial Japanese Army ( edit ) See also : List of Japanese infantry weapons used in the Second - Sino Japanese War , List of armour used by the Imperial Japanese Army in the Second Sino - Japanese War , and List of Japanese aircraft in use during the Second Sino - Japanese War Although Japan possessed significant mobile operational capacity , it did not possess capability for maintaining a long sustained war . At the beginning of the war , the Imperial Japanese Army comprised 17 divisions , each composed of approximately 22,000 men , 5,800 horses , 9,500 rifles and submachine guns , 600 heavy machine guns of assorted types , 108 artillery pieces , and 600 plus of light armor two - men tanks . Special forces were also available . The Imperial Japanese Navy displaced a total of 1,900,000 tonnes , ranking third in the world , and possessed 2,700 aircraft at the time . Each Japanese division was the equivalent in fighting strength of four Chinese regular divisions ( at the beginning of the Battle of Shanghai ) .

Please help improve this article by adding citations to reliable sources . Unsourced material may be challenged and removed . ( May 2013 ) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message ) Kritios Boy . c. 480 BCE , was the first known statue to use contrapposto . Contrapposto ( Italian pronunciation : ( kontrapˈposto ) ) is an Italian term that means counterpose . It is used in the visual arts to describe a human figure standing with most of its weight on one foot so that its shoulders and arms twist off - axis from the hips and legs . This gives the figure a more dynamic , or alternatively relaxed appearance . It can also be used to refer to multiple figures which are in counter-pose ( or opposite pose ) to one another . It can further encompass the tension as a figure changes from resting on a given leg to walking or running upon it ( so - called ponderation ) . The leg that carries the weight of the body is known as the engaged leg , the relaxed leg is known as the free leg . Contrapposto is less emphasized than the more sinuous S Curve , and creates the illusion of past and future movement . Contrapposto was an extremely important sculptural development , for its appearance marks the first time in Western art that the human body is used to express a psychological disposition . The balanced , harmonious pose of the Kritios Boy suggests a calm and relaxed state of mind , an evenness of temperament that is part of the ideal of man represented . Etruscan statuette , from Italy , 3rd to 1st century BCE , bronze From this point onwards Greek sculptors went on to explore how the body could convey the whole range of human experience , culminating in the desperate anguish and pathos of Laocoön and His Sons ( 1st century CE ) in the Hellenistic period . Contents ( hide ) 1 History 1.1 Classical 1.2 Renaissance 1.3 Modern times 2 Examples 3 See also 4 References and sources History ( edit ) Classical ( edit ) The first known statue to use contrapposto is Kritios Boy , c. 480 BC , so called because it was once attributed to the sculptor Kritios . It is possible , even likely , that earlier bronze statues had used the technique , but if they did , they have not survived and Kenneth Clark called the statue `` the first beautiful nude in art '' . The statue is a Greek marble original and not a Roman copy . Prior to the introduction of contrapposto , the statues that dominated ancient Greece were the archaic kouros ( male ) and the kore ( female ) . Contrapposto has been used since the dawn of classical western sculpture . According to the canon of the Classical Greek Sculptor Polykleitos in the 4th century BC , it is one of the most important characteristics of his figurative works and those of his successors , Lysippos , Skopas , etc . The Polykletian statues -- for example , Discophoros ( discus - bearer ) and Doryphoros ( spear - bearer ) -- are idealized athletic young men with the divine sense , and captured in contrapposto . In these works , the pelvis is no longer axial with the vertical statue as in the archaic style of earlier Greek sculpture before Kritios Boy . Contrapposto can be clearly seen in the Roman copies of the statues of Hermes and Heracles . A famous example is the marble statue of Hermes with the infant Dionysus in Olympia by Praxiteles . It can also be seen in the Roman copies of Polyclitus ' amazon . Greek Art emphasized humanism along with the human mind and the human body 's beauty . Greek youths trained and competed in athletic contests in the nude . A great contribution to the contrapposto pose was the concept of a canon of proportions , in which mathematical properties are used to create proportions . Renaissance ( edit ) Classical contrapposto was revived in the Renaissance by the Italian artists Donatello and Leonardo da Vinci , followed by Michelangelo , Raphael and other artists of the High Renaissance . One of the major achievements of the Italian Renaissance was the re-discovery of contrapposto , although in Mannerism it became greatly over-used . Modern times ( edit ) The technique continues to be widely employed in sculpture . Examples ( edit ) Examples of contrapposto The Venus de Milo depicts an S Curve body shape . Greek , c. 130 -- 100 BC . A marble copy of the Doryphoros of Polykleitos , an early example of classical contrapposto . The original bronze is lost . David , by Michelangelo , 1501 -- 04 . The shoulders of the figure are seen to angle in one direction , the pelvis in another . Leda and the Swan , copy by Cesare da Sesto after a lost original by Leonardo da Vinci , 1515 -- 20 , Oil on canvas , Wilton House , England .

It took place in Uruguay from 13 to 30 July 1930 . FIFA , football 's international governing body , selected Uruguay as host nation , as the country would be celebrating the centenary of its first constitution , and the Uruguay national football team had successfully retained their football title at the 1928 Summer Olympics . All matches were played in the Uruguayan capital , Montevideo , the majority at the Estadio Centenario , which was built for the tournament . Thirteen teams ( seven from South America , four from Europe and two from North America ) entered the tournament . Only a few European teams chose to participate because of the difficulty of travelling to South America . The teams were divided into four groups , with the winner of each group progressing to the semi-finals . The first two World Cup matches took place simultaneously , and were won by France and the United States , who defeated Mexico 4 -- 1 and Belgium 3 -- 0 , respectively . Lucien Laurent of France scored the first goal in World Cup history , while US goalkeeper Jimmy Douglas posted the first official `` clean sheet '' in the tournament . Argentina , Uruguay , the United States and Yugoslavia each won their respective groups to qualify for the semi-finals . In the final , hosts and pre-tournament favourites Uruguay defeated Argentina 4 -- 2 in front of a crowd of 68,346 people , and became the first nation to win the World Cup .

Uruguay 's bid became the clear selection after all the other countries withdrew their bids . Participants ( edit ) Participating countries The first World Cup was the only one without qualification . Every country affiliated with FIFA was invited to compete , and given a deadline of 28 February 1930 to accept . Plenty of interest was shown by nations in the Americas ; Argentina , Brazil , Bolivia , Chile , Mexico , Paraguay , Peru and the United States all entered . A total of seven South American teams participated , more than in any subsequent World Cup Finals . However , because of the long and costly trip by ship across the Atlantic Ocean , and the length of absence required for players , very few European teams were inclined to take part . Some refused to countenance travel to South America in any circumstances , and no European entries were received before the February deadline . In an attempt to gain some European participation , the Uruguayan Football Association sent a letter of invitation to The Football Association , even though the British Home Nations ( England , Northern Ireland , Scotland and Wales ) had resigned from FIFA at the time . This was rejected by the FA Committee on 18 November 1929 . Two months before the start of the tournament , no team from Europe had officially entered . FIFA president Jules Rimet intervened , and eventually four European teams made the trip by sea : Belgium , France , Romania , and Yugoslavia . The Romanians , managed by Constantin Rădulescu and coached by their captain Rudolf Wetzer and Octav Luchide , entered the competition following the intervention of newly crowned King Carol II . He selected the squad personally , and negotiated with employers to ensure that the players would still have jobs upon their return . The French entered at the personal intervention of Rimet , but neither France 's star defender Manuel Anatol nor the team 's regular coach Gaston Barreau could be persuaded to make the trip . The Belgians participated at the instigation of German - Belgian FIFA vice-president Rodolphe Seeldrayers . We were 15 days on the ship Conte Verde getting out there . We embarked from Villefranche - sur - Mer in company of the Belgians and the Yugoslavians . We did our basic exercises down below and our training on deck . The coach never spoke about tactics at all ... Lucien Laurent The Romanians boarded the SS Conte Verde at Genoa , the French were picked up at Villefranche - sur - Mer on 21 June 1930 ; and the Belgians embarked at Barcelona . The Conte Verde carried Rimet , the trophy and the three designated European referees : the Belgians Jean Langenus and Henri Christophe , along with Thomas Balway , a Parisian who may have been English . The Brazilian team were picked up when the boat docked in Rio de Janeiro on 29 June before arriving in Uruguay on 4 July . Yugoslavia travelled via the mail steamship Florida from Marseille . In the Kingdom of Yugoslavia there were doubts about their participation at first . Since the Croatians decided to boycott the national team , King Alexander I did not want to finance the whole idea , but in the end they found a solution . Belgrade football association officials decided to round up only domestic ( Serbian ) star players , mainly from two rival Belgrade clubs , BSK and SK Jugoslavija , with an additional three Serbs who played for French clubs ( Ivan Bek among them ) . Therefore , the Yugoslavia team was exclusively made up of Serbian players ; and with the two biggest stars of the team , Blagoje Marjanović ( `` Moša '' ) and Aleksandar Tirnanić ( `` Tirke '' ) , both from BSK , they were ready for a trip to South America to represent Yugoslavia in the World Cup . The Yugoslavians were the youngest team in the World Cup ; with an average age of 21 years and 258 days . After their first match , against Brazil , they received a new nickname `` The Ich - es '' or `` Ichachos '' ( in Spanish ) by the Uruguayan press ; referring to most of the player 's surnames that ended up with the `` - ić '' or `` - vić '' suffix , which is quite common for Serbian last names . They achieved the joint -- biggest success in both Yugoslav and Serbian subsequent World Cup footballing history , by earning fourth place , a result that would be repeated in 1962 . Venues ( edit ) All matches took place in Montevideo . Three stadiums were used : Estadio Centenario , Estadio Pocitos , and Estadio Parque Central . The Estadio Centenario was built both for the tournament and as a celebration of the centenary of Uruguayan independence . Designed by Juan Scasso , it was the primary stadium for the tournament , referred to by Rimet as a `` temple of football '' . With a capacity of 90,000 , it was the largest football stadium outside the British Isles . The stadium hosted 10 of the 18 matches , including both semi-finals and the final . However , a rushed construction schedule and delays caused by the rainy season meant the Centenario was not ready for use until five days into the tournament . Early matches were played at smaller stadiums usually used by Montevideo football clubs Nacional and Peñarol , the 20,000 capacity Parque Central and the Pocitos .

Match officials ( edit ) Fifteen referees participated in the tournament : four Europeans -- two Belgians ( Henri Christophe and John Langenus ) , a Frenchman , and a Romanian ( Constantin Rădulescu , also the Romanian team coach ) , and eleven from the Americas -- among them six Uruguayans . In order to eliminate differences in the application of the Laws of the Game , the referees were invited to one short meeting to iron out the most conflicting issues arising from the game . Of all the refereeing appointments , the two that attracted most attention were that of Gilberto de Almeida Rêgo in the match between Argentina and France , in which the Brazilian referee blew for full - time six minutes early , and that of the Bolivian Ulises Saucedo 's in the Argentina and Mexico encounter , which Argentina won 6 -- 3 . During the game Saucedo , who was also the coach of Bolivia , awarded three penalties . The following is the list of officials to serve as referees and linesmen . Officials in italics were only employed as linesmen during the tournament . Europe Thomas Balvay Henri Christophe Jan Langenus Constantin Rădulescu North America Gaspar Vallejo South America Gualberto Alonso Martin Aphesteguy Domingo Lombardi José Macías Francisco Mateucci Almeida Rêgo Ulises Saucedo Anibal Tejada Ricardo Vallarino Alberto Warnken Format ( edit ) The 13 teams were drawn into four groups , with Group 1 containing four teams , and the others containing three . Each group played a round - robin format , with the four group winners progressing to the knockout semi-final stage . Draw ( edit ) Uruguay , Argentina , Brazil , and the United States were seeded , and were kept apart in the draw , which took place in Montevideo once all the teams arrived . Since there were no qualifying games , the opening two matches of the tournament were the first World Cup games ever played , taking place simultaneously on 13 July 1930 ; France beat Mexico 4 -- 1 at the Estadio Pocitos , while the United States defeated Belgium 3 -- 0 at the same time at the Estadio Gran Parque Central . France 's Lucien Laurent was the scorer of the first World Cup goal . Tournament summary ( edit ) Group 1 ( edit ) We were playing Mexico and it was snowing , since it was winter in the southern hemisphere . One of my team mates centred the ball and I followed its path carefully , taking it on the volley with my right foot . Everyone was pleased but we did n't all roll around on the ground -- nobody realised that history was being made . A quick handshake and we got on with the game . And no bonus either ; we were all amateurs in those days , right to the end . Lucien Laurent The first group was the only one to contain four teams : Argentina , Chile , France and Mexico . Two days after France 's victory over Mexico , they faced group favourites Argentina . Injuries hindered France ; goalkeeper Alex Thépot had to leave the field after 20 minutes , and Laurent , after a fierce tackle by Luis Monti , spent most of the match limping . However , they held out for most of the match , only succumbing to an 81st - minute goal scored from a Monti free kick . The game featured an officiating controversy when referee Almeida Rêgo erroneously blew the final whistle six minutes early , with Frenchman Marcel Langiller clear on goal ; play only resumed after protests from the French players . Though France had played twice in 48 hours , Chile had yet to play their first match . They faced Mexico the following day , gaining a comfortable 3 -- 0 win . France 's final match , against Chile , featured the first penalty kick of the World Cup . The first goalkeeper to save a penalty was Alex Thépot of France on 19 July 1930 , saving from Chile 's Carlos Vidal in the 30th minute of the match . In Argentina 's second match , against Mexico , three penalty kicks were awarded . During the same match on 19 July 1930 Mexico 's Oscar Bonfiglio Martínez saved another penalty at the 23rd minute of the match against Argentina 's Fernando Paternoster . Guillermo Stábile scored a hat - trick in his international debut as Argentina won 6 -- 3 , despite the absence of their captain Manuel Ferreira , who had returned to Buenos Aires to take a law exam . Qualification was decided by the group 's final match , contested by Argentina and Chile , who had beaten France and Mexico , respectively . The game was marred by a brawl sparked by a foul on Arturo Torres by Monti . Argentina won 3 -- 1 against their neighbours and advanced to the semi-finals . Group 2 ( edit ) The second group contained Brazil , Bolivia and Yugoslavia . Brazil , the group seeds , were expected to progress , but in the group 's opening match , unexpectedly lost 2 -- 1 to Yugoslavia . Going into the tournament Bolivia had never previously won an international match . For their opener they paid tribute to the hosts by wearing shirts each emblazoned with a single letter , spelling `` Viva Uruguay '' as the team lined up . Both of Bolivia 's matches followed a similar pattern , a promising start gradually transforming into heavy defeat . Against Yugoslavia , they held out for an hour before conceding , but were four goals down by the final whistle . Misfortune played its part ; several Bolivian goals were disallowed . Against Brazil , when both teams had only pride to play for , the score was 1 -- 0 to Brazil at half - time . Brazil added three more in the second half , two of them scored by the multi-sportsman Preguinho . Yugoslavia qualified for the semi-finals . Group 3 ( edit ) Hosts Uruguay were in a group with Peru and Romania . The opening match in this group saw the first player expulsion in the competition , when Plácido Galindo of Peru was dismissed against Romania . The Romanians made their man advantage pay ; their 3 -- 1 win included two late goals . This match had the smallest crowd of any in World Cup history . The official attendance was 2,459 , but the actual figure is generally accepted to be around 300 . Because of construction delays at Estadio Centenario , Uruguay 's first match was not played until five days into the tournament . The first to be held at the Centenario , it was preceded by a ceremony in honour of the Uruguayan centenary celebrations . The Uruguayan team spent the four weeks preceding the match in a training camp , at which strict discipline was exercised . Goalkeeper Andrés Mazali was dropped from the squad for breaking a curfew to visit his wife . One hundred years to the day of the creation of Uruguay 's first constitution , the hosts won a tight match against Peru 1 -- 0 . Spectators praised Peru 's defense , and this turned out to be the only tournament match in which Uruguay scored only one goal . The result was viewed as a poor performance by the Uruguayan press , but lauded in Peru . Uruguay subsequently defeated Romania with ease , scoring four first half goals to win 4 -- 0 . Group 4 ( edit ) The fourth group contained Belgium , Paraguay and The United States . The American team , which contained a significant number of new caps , were reputedly nicknamed `` the shot - putters '' by an unnamed source in the French contingent . They beat their first opponents , Belgium , 3 -- 0 . The ease of the victory was unexpected ; Uruguayan newspaper Imparcial wrote that `` the large score of the American victory has really surprised the experts '' . Belgian reports bemoaned the state of the pitch and refereeing decisions , claiming that the second goal was offside . The group 's second match , played in windy conditions , witnessed the first tournament hat - trick , scored by Bert Patenaude of the United States against Paraguay . Until 10 November 2006 , the first hat - trick that FIFA acknowledged had been scored by Guillermo Stábile of Argentina , two days after Patenaude ; however , in 2006 FIFA announced that Patenaude 's claim to being the first hat - trick scorer was valid , as a goal previously assigned to teammate Tom Florie was reattributed to Patenaude . With the United States having secured qualification , the final match in the group was a dead rubber . Paraguay beat Belgium by a 1 -- 0 margin . Semi-finals ( edit ) The four group winners , Argentina , Yugoslavia , Uruguay and the United States , moved to the semi-finals . The two semi-final matches saw identical scores . The first semi-final was played between the USA and Argentina on a rain - drenched pitch . The United States team , which featured six British - born players , lost midfielder Raphael Tracy after ten minutes to a broken leg as the match became violent . A Monti goal halfway through the first half gave Argentina a 1 -- 0 half - time lead . In the second half , the strength of the United States team was overwhelmed by the pace of the Argentinian attacks , the match finishing 6 -- 1 to Argentina . In the second semi-final there were shades of the 1924 Summer Olympics match between Yugoslavia and Uruguay . Here , though , Yugoslavia took a surprise lead through Vujadinović . Uruguay then took a 2 -- 1 lead . Then shortly before half - time Yugoslavia had a goal disallowed by a controversial offside decision . The hosts scored three more in the second half to win 6 -- 1 , Pedro Cea completing a hat - trick . Third and fourth place ( edit ) The now - traditional third place play - off was not established until 1934 , so the format of the 1930 World Cup is unique in not distinguishing between the third and fourth placed teams . Occasional sources , notably a FIFA Bulletin from 1984 , incorrectly imply that a third - place match occurred and was won 3 -- 1 by Yugoslavia . Accounts differ as to whether a third - place match was originally scheduled . According to a 2009 book by Hyder Jawad , Yugoslavia refused to play a third - place match because they were upset with the refereeing in their semi-final against Uruguay . At the end of the championship , the captains of the United States team ( Tom Florie ) and Yugoslavia ( Milutin Ivković ) both received bronze medals . Yet a FIFA technical committee report on the 1986 World Cup included full retrospective rankings of all teams at all previous World Cup finals ; this report ranked the United States third and Yugoslavia fourth , due to a better goal difference on otherwise identical records , a practice since continued by FIFA . In 2010 , the son of Kosta Hadži , the chief of Yugoslav delegation at the 1930 World Cup and the vice-president of the Football Association of Yugoslavia at the time , claimed that Yugoslavia , as a team , has been awarded one bronze medal , which has been kept by Hadži himself and his family for the following 80 years . According to this source , Yugoslavia was placed third because of the semi-finals loss to the eventual champions , Uruguay . Final ( edit ) Main article : 1930 FIFA World Cup Final Because of a dispute , a different ball was used in each half , one chosen by each team . Argentina 's ball ( top ) was used for the first half , and Uruguay 's ball ( bottom ) was used for the second half . The resounding wins for Uruguay and Argentina in the semi-finals meant the final was a repeat of the matchup in the 1928 Olympic final , which Uruguay had won 2 -- 1 after a replay . The final was played at the Estadio Centenario on 30 July . Feelings ran high around the La Plata Basin as the Argentine supporters crossed the river with the war cry Victoria o muerte ( `` victory or death '' ) , dispelling any uncertainty as to whether the tournament had captured the imagination of the public . The ten boats earmarked to carry Argentine fans from Buenos Aires to Montevideo proved inadequate , and any number of assorted craft attempted the crossing . An estimated 10 -- 15,000 Argentinians made the trip , but the port at Montevideo was so overwhelmed that many did not even make landfall before kick - off , let alone reach the stadium . At the stadium , supporters were searched for weapons . The gates were opened at eight o'clock , six hours before kick - off , and at noon the ground was full , the official attendance 93,000 . A disagreement overshadowed the build - up to the match as the teams failed to agree on who should provide the match ball , forcing FIFA to intervene and decree that the Argentine team would provide the ball for the first half and the Uruguayans would provide their own for the second . Uruguay made one change from their semi-final line - up . Castro replaced Anselmo , who missed out due to illness . Monti played for Argentina despite receiving death threats on the eve of the match . The referee was Belgian John Langenus , who only agreed to officiate a few hours before the game , having sought assurances for his safety . One of his requests was for a boat to be ready at the harbour within one hour of the final whistle , in case he needed to make a quick escape . The hosts scored the opening goal through Pablo Dorado , a low shot from a position on the right . Argentina , displaying superior passing ability , responded strongly . Within eight minutes they were back on level terms ; Carlos Peucelle received a Ferreira through - ball , beat his marker and equalised . Shortly before half - time leading tournament goalscorer Guillermo Stábile gave Argentina a 2 -- 1 lead . Uruguay captain Nasazzi protested , maintaining that Stábile was offside , but to no avail . In the second half Uruguay gradually became ascendant . Shortly after Monti missed a chance to make the score 3 -- 1 , Uruguay attacked in numbers , and Pedro Cea scored an equaliser . Ten minutes later a goal by Santos Iriarte gave Uruguay the lead , and just before full - time Castro made it 4 -- 2 to seal the win . Langenus ended the match a minute later , and Uruguay thus added the title World Cup winners to their mantle of Olympic champions . Jules Rimet presented the World Cup Trophy , which was later named for him , to the head of the Uruguayan Football Association , Raúl Jude . The following day was declared a national holiday in Uruguay ; in the Argentinian capital , Buenos Aires , a mob threw stones at the Uruguayan consulate . Francisco Varallo ( who played as a forward for Argentina ) was the last player of the final to die , on 30 August 2010 . France , Yugoslavia and the United States all played friendlies in South America following the competition . Brazil played France on 1 August , Yugoslavia on 10 August and the United States on 17 August , while Argentina hosted Yugoslavia on 3 August . Uruguay 's aggregate goal difference of + 12 over four games , at an average of + 3 per match , remains the highest average goal difference per match of any World Cup champion , and the second highest of any World Cup Finals participant , after Hungary in 1954 .

He was outlived by reserve defender Emilio Recoba who died on 12 September 1992 ( aged 87 ) , but did not play any matches in the tournament . However , many other players who participated in the tournament were still alive by this stage and the last surviving player from the tournament was Argentina 's Francisco Varallo , who died on 30 August 2010 at the age of 100 -- eighty years after the tournament . Lucien Laurent , the scorer of the first ever World Cup Goal was the last surviving Member of the France Squad and was invited in 1998 Final seeing France lifting its first ever World Cup win also as the only France member . He died in 2005 at the age of 97 . Film ( edit ) A recreation of the tournament from the point of view of the Yugoslavian team can be seen in the 2014 Serbian film See You in Montevideo .

Jeisipsamhoe Donggye Ollimpik ) and commonly known as PyeongChang 2018 , was an international winter multi-sport event that was held between 9 and 25 February 2018 in Pyeongchang County , Gangwon Province , South Korea , with the opening rounds for certain events held on 8 February 2018 , the eve of the opening ceremony . Pyeongchang was elected as the host city in July 2011 , during the 123rd IOC Session in Durban , South Africa . This was the first time that South Korea had hosted the Winter Olympics and the second Olympics held in the country overall , after the 1988 Summer Olympics in Seoul . It was the third time that an East Asian country had hosted the Winter Games , after Sapporo ( 1972 ) and Nagano ( 1998 ) , both in Japan . It was also the first of three consecutive Olympics to be held in East Asia , the other two being the 2020 Summer Olympics in Tokyo and the 2022 Winter Olympics in Beijing . The Games featured 102 events in fifteen sports , with the addition of `` big air '' snowboarding , mass start speed skating , mixed doubles curling , and mixed team alpine skiing to the Winter Olympic programme . 2,914 athletes from 92 NOCs competed , including the debuts of Ecuador , Eritrea , Kosovo , Malaysia , Nigeria and Singapore . After a state - sponsored doping program was exposed following the 2014 Winter Olympics , the Russian Olympic Committee was suspended , and selected athletes were allowed to compete neutrally under the IOC designation of `` Olympic Athletes from Russia '' . Despite tense relations , North Korea agreed to participate in the Games , enter with South Korea during the opening ceremony as a unified Korea , and field a unified team in women 's ice hockey . Norway led the total medal tally with 39 , followed by Germany 's 31 and Canada 's 29 . Germany and Norway were tied for the most gold medals won ; both won fourteen golds . Host nation South Korea won seventeen medals , their highest medal haul at a Winter Olympics , five of which were gold .

Munich also launched a bid to host these Games . Prior to Beijing 's successful 2022 Winter Olympics bid , Munich would have become the first city to host both the Winter and the Summer Games , having previously hosted the 1972 Summer Olympics , but received only 25 votes . Annecy ( in southeastern France ) launched their own bid , which failed to secure public support from the local citizens . Their bid ended up receiving seven votes . Pyeongchang was elected as the host city at the 123rd IOC Session in Durban in 2011 , earning the necessary majority of at least 48 votes in just one round of voting , more votes than its competitors combined . With this , Pyeongchang became the third Asian city to host the Winter Games ; the first two were in Japan , at Sapporo ( 1972 ) and Nagano ( 1998 ) . 2018 Winter Olympics bidding results City Nation Votes Pyeongchang South Korea 63 Munich Germany 25 Annecy France 7 Development and preparation ( edit ) Pyeongchang Location in South Korea On 5 August 2011 , the International Olympic Committee ( IOC ) announced the formation of the Pyeongchang 2018 Coordination Commission . On 4 October 2011 , it was announced that the Organizing Committee for the 2018 Winter Olympics would be headed by Kim Jin - sun . The Pyeongchang Organizing Committee for the 2018 Olympic & Paralympic Winter Games ( POCOG ) was launched at its inaugural assembly on 19 October 2011 . The first tasks of the organizing committee were putting together a master plan for the Games as well as forming a design for the venues . The IOC Coordination Commission for the 2018 Winter Olympics made their first visit to Pyeongchang in March 2012 . By then , construction was already underway on the Olympic Village . In June 2012 , construction began on a high - speed rail line that would connect Pyeongchang to Seoul . The International Paralympic Committee met for an orientation with the Pyeongchang 2018 organizing committee in July 2012 . Then - IOC President Jacques Rogge visited Pyeongchang for the first time in February 2013 . The Pyeongchang Organizing Committee for the 2018 Olympic & Paralympic Winter Games created Pyeongchang WINNERS in 2014 by recruiting university students living in South Korea to spread awareness of the Olympic Games through social networking services and news articles . 2018 Olympics gold medal 2018 Winter Olympics torch Medals ( edit ) The Games ' medal designs were unveiled on 21 September 2017 .

US $ 18 ) to ₩ 900,000 ( ~ US $796 ) while tickets for the opening and closing ceremonies ranged from ₩ 220,000 ( ~ US $195 ) to ₩ 1.5 million ( ~ US $1327 ) . The exact prices were determined through market research ; around 50 % of the tickets were expected to cost about ₩ 80,000 ( ~ US $71 ) or less , and tickets in sports that are relatively unknown in the region , such as biathlon and luge , were made cheaper in order to encourage attendance . By contrast , figure skating and the men 's ice hockey gold - medal game carried the most expensive tickets of the Games .

Russian athletes participated as Olympic Athletes from Russia ( OAR ) if individually cleared by the IOC . Event scheduling ( edit ) To accommodate primetime broadcasts in the Americas , figure skating events were scheduled with morning start times ; figure skating is one of the most popular Winter Olympic sports among U.S. viewers . This scheduling practice had an impact on the events themselves , including skaters having to adjust to the modified schedule , as well as the attendance levels of the sessions themselves . Conversely , and somewhat controversially , eight of the eleven biathlon events were scheduled at night , making it necessary for competitors to ski and shoot under floodlights , with colder temperatures and blustery winds .

Olympic cauldron in Pyeongchang Olympic Stadium Closing ceremony ( edit ) Main article : 2018 Winter Olympics closing ceremony The closing ceremony of the 2018 Winter Olympics was held at the Pyeongchang Olympic Stadium on 25 February 2018 , as Thomas Bach , the IOC president , declared the Games closed , and the cauldron extinguished . Broadcasting ( edit ) Main article : List of 2018 Winter Olympics broadcasters Broadcast rights to the 2018 Winter Olympics in some countries were already sold as part of long - term broadcast rights deals , including the Games ' local rightsholder SBS , which in July 2011 had extended its rights to the Olympics through to 2024 . SBS sub-licensed its rights to MBC and KBS . On 29 June 2015 , the IOC announced that Discovery Communications had acquired exclusive rights to the Olympics across all of Europe outside of Russia , from 2018 through to 2024 . Discovery 's pan-European Eurosport networks were promoted as the main rightsholder of the Games , but Discovery free - to - air channels such as DMAX in Spain , Kanal 5 in Sweden and TVNorge in Norway , were also involved . Discovery was required to sub-licence at least 100 hours of coverage to free - to - air broadcasters in each market ; some of these agreements required certain sports to be exclusive to Eurosport and its affiliated networks . The deal did not initially cover France due to France Télévisions ' rights , which run through to the 2020 Games . In the United Kingdom , Discovery held exclusive pay television rights under license from the BBC , in return for BBC sub-licencing the free - to - air rights to the 2022 and 2024 Olympics from Discovery . Despite the Russian team being formally banned from competing under its flag in Pyeongchang , Russian state broadcaster Channel One , and sports channel Match TV , still committed to covering the Games with a focus on Russian athletes . Russia was not affected by the Eurosport deal , due to a pre-existing contract held by a marketing agency which runs through to 2024 . In the United States , the Games were once again broadcast by NBCUniversal properties under a long - term contract . As U.S. Eastern Time is fourteen hours behind Pyeongchang , morning events naturally fell within traditional U.S. prime time hours ( 8 : 00 to 11 : 00 pm ) . This allowed NBC to broadcast its prime time coverage live in all U.S. time zones , rather than showing `` plausibly live '' delayed footage as they had in previous Olympics . As per previous Games , the ceremonies were still shown on TV via tape delay only , but NBC did , for the first time , offer live streaming of the opening ceremony online . Notably , figure skating events were deliberately scheduled for the morning in Pyeongchang to accommodate the network 's live broadcast to a peak U.S. audience in the evening . NHK and Olympic Broadcasting Services ( OBS ) once again filmed portions of the Games , including 90 hours of footage of selected events and the opening ceremonies , in high - dynamic - range 8K resolution video . In South Korea , ATSC 3.0 digital terrestrial television at 4K resolution was introduced in 2017 in time for the Olympics . In the U.S. , this footage was delivered in 4K by NBCUniversal parent Comcast to participating television providers , including its own Xfinity , as well as DirecTV and Dish Network . NBC 's Raleigh , North Carolina affiliate WRAL - TV also held demonstration viewings as part of its ATSC 3.0 test broadcasts . The 2018 Winter Olympics were also used to showcase 5G wireless technologies , as part of a collaboration between domestic wireless sponsor KT , and worldwide sponsor Intel . Several venues were outfitted with 5G networks to facilitate features such as live camera feeds from bobsleds , and multi-camera views from cross-country and figure skating events . These were offered as part of public demonstrations coordinated by KT and Intel . Marketing ( edit ) Branding ( edit ) The emblem for the Games was unveiled on 3 May 2013 . It is a stylised representation of the hangul letters ᄑ p and ᄎ ch , these being the initial sounds of 평창 Pyeongchang . The left - hand symbol is said to represent the Korean philosophical triad of heaven , earth and humanity ( Korean : 천지인 cheon - ji - in ) , and the right - hand symbol represents a crystal of ice . In the emblem and all official materials , Pyeongchang was stylised in CamelCase as `` PyeongChang '' , in order to alleviate potential confusion with Pyongyang , the similarly - named capital of neighbouring North Korea . Soohorang ( left ) and Bandabi ( right ) , respective mascots of 2018 Winter Olympics and Paralympics . Mascots ( edit ) Main article : Soohorang and Bandabi The official mascots of the 2018 Winter Olympics and Paralympics were unveiled on 2 June 2016 . The Olympic mascot , Soohorang ( Korean : 수 호랑 ) , is a white tiger . The mascot 's name is a portmanteau of `` Sooho '' , a Korean word for `` protection '' , and `` Rang '' which is derived both from the Korean word for `` tiger '' and from the name of a traditional Korean folk song originating from Gangwon Province . Tigers have a strong association with Korean culture and folklore . Video Games ( edit ) Intel Extreme Masters Season 12 -- Pyeongchang Tournament information Sport StarCraft II Location Pyeongchang , South Korea Administrator ( s ) Electronic Sports League Final positions Champions Scarlett Runner - up sOs ← Oakland 2017 Katowice 2018 → In June 2017 , Ubisoft announced that it would release an expansion pack for its winter sports video game Steep entitled Road to the Olympics , which features new game modes and content inspired by the 2018 Winter Olympics . In November 2017 , the IOC announced it would support and sponsor an Intel Extreme Masters StarCraft II tournament in Pyeongchang preceding the Games . Its support of the tournament as a de facto demonstration event came on the heels of a report by the IOC which recognised that eSports `` could be considered as a sporting activity '' . The tournament was won by Sasha `` Scarlett '' Hostyn of Canada ; she became the second North American pro to place first at a major StarCraft II tournament in South Korea , and the first woman to win a major tournament . Sponsors ( edit ) The 2018 Winter Olympics saw increasing granularity in official sponsorships for technology vendors ; Intel signed with the IOC to become part of its Worldwide Olympic Partner program , to promote 5G wireless technology , as well as broadcasting technology such as 360 - degree video and virtual reality . Alibaba Group was also named the official e-commerce and cloud services provider . These categories affected how the vendors were allowed to promote themselves within the context of the Olympics : Samsung could showcase VR experiences but only within the context of its own smartphones due to Intel 's sponsorship rights in relation to VR ; Alibaba could not promote Alipay due to Visa Inc. sponsorship rights ; and Intel could not promote end - user applications of 5G due to national sponsorship rights held by KT Corporation . Concerns and controversies ( edit ) Main article : Concerns and controversies at the 2018 Winter Olympics North Korean relations ( edit ) See also : North Korea -- South Korea relations , 2017 -- 18 North Korea crisis , and North Korea at the 2018 Winter Olympics Due to the state of relations between North and South Korea , concerns were raised over the security of the 2018 Winter Olympics , especially in the wake of tensions over North Korean missile and nuclear tests . On 20 September 2017 , South Korean president Moon Jae - in stated that the country would ensure the security of the Games . The next day , Laura Flessel - Colovic , the French Minister of Youth Affairs and Sports , stated that France would pull out of the Games if the safety of its delegation could not be guaranteed . Protesters at Gwanghwamun Plaza criticising the game 's pro-North Korean measures The next day , Austria and Germany raised similar concerns and also threatened to skip the Games . France later reaffirmed its participation . In early December 2017 , the United States Ambassador to the United Nations , Nikki Haley , told Fox News that it was an `` open question '' whether the United States was going to participate in the Games , citing security concerns in the region . However , days later the White House Press Secretary , Sarah Huckabee Sanders , stated that the United States would participate . In his New Year 's address on 1 January 2018 , North Korean leader Kim Jong - un proposed talks in Seoul over the country 's participation in the Games , which would be the first high - level talks between the North and South in over two years . Because of the talks , held on 9 January , North Korea agreed to field athletes in Pyeongchang . On 17 January 2018 , it was announced that North and South Korea had agreed to field a unified Korean women 's ice hockey team at the Games , and to enter together under a Korean Unification Flag during the opening ceremony . These moves were met with opposition in South Korea , including protests and online petitions ; critics argued that the government was attempting to use the Olympics to spread pro-North Korean sentiment , and that the unified hockey team would fail . A rap video entitled `` The Regret for Pyeongchang '' ( 평창 유감 ) , which echoed this criticism and called the event the `` Pyongyang Olympics '' , went viral in the country . Japan 's foreign affairs minister Tarō Kōno warned South Korea to be wary of North Korea 's `` charm offensive '' , and not to ease its pressure on the country . The South Korean President , Moon Jae - in , at the start of the Olympics shook hands with the sister of North Korean leader Kim Jong - un and a prominent figure of the regime , Kim Yo - jong . This marked the first time since the Korean War that a member of the ruling Kim dynasty had visited South Korea . In contrast , U.S. vice president Mike Pence met with Fred Warmbier ( father of Otto Warmbier , who had died after being released from captivity in North Korea ) and a group of North Korean defectors in Pyeongchang . American officials said that North Korea cancelled a meeting with Pence at the last minute . At the closing ceremony , North Korea sent general Kim Yong - chol as its delegate . His presence was met with hostility from South Korean conservatives , as there were allegations that he had a role in the ROKS Cheonan sinking and other past attacks . The Ministry of Unification stated that `` there is a limitation in pinpointing who was responsible for the incident . '' Although he is subject to sanctions , they did not affect his ability to visit the country for the Games . Russian doping ( edit ) Main articles : Doping in Russia , McLaren Report , Oswald Commission , Russia at the 2014 Winter Olympics § Doping scandal after Olympics , Russia at the 2016 Summer Olympics , and Olympic Athletes from Russia at the 2018 Winter Olympics Russia 's participation in the 2018 Winter Olympics was affected by the aftermath of its state - sponsored doping program . As a result , the IOC suspended the Russian Olympic Committee in December 2017 , although Russian athletes whitelisted by the IOC were allowed to compete neutrally under the OAR ( Olympic Athletes from Russia ) designation . The official sanctions imposed by the IOC included : the exclusion of Russian government officials from the Games ; the use of the Olympic flag and Olympic Anthem in place of the Russian flag and anthem ; and the submission of a replacement logo for the OAR uniforms . By early January 2018 , the IOC had banned 43 Russian athletes from competing in the 2018 Winter Olympics and all future Olympic Games ( as part of the Oswald Commission ) . Of those athletes , 42 appealed against their bans to the Court of Arbitration for Sport ( CAS ) and 28 of the appeals were successful , but eleven of the athletes had their sanctions upheld due to the weight of evidence against them . The IOC stated that the court ruling did not prove that the 28 athletes were innocent and that they would not necessarily be invited to the 2018 Games . Three of the athletes who appealed are still awaiting their hearings . The eventual number of neutral Russian athletes that participated at the 2018 Games was 168 . These were selected from an original pool of 500 athletes that was put forward for consideration and , in order to receive an invitation to the Games , they were obliged to meet a number of pre-games conditions to rule out any possibility of doping . Russian president Vladimir Putin and other officials had signalled in the past that it would be a humiliation if Russian athletes were not allowed to compete under the Russian flag . However , there were never actually any official plans to boycott the 2018 Games and in late 2017 the Russian government agreed to allow their athletes to compete at the Games as individuals under a neutral designation . Despite this public show of co-operation , there were numerous misgivings voiced by leading Russian politicians , including a statement from Putin himself saying that he believed the United States had used its influence within the IOC to `` orchestrate the doping scandal '' . 86 % of the Russian population opposed participation at the Olympics under a neutral flag , and many Russian fans attended the Games wearing the Russian colours and chanting `` Russia ! '' in unison , in an act of defiance against the ban . The IOC 's decision was heavily criticised by Jack Robertson , primary investigator of the Russian doping program on behalf of the World Anti-Doping Agency ( WADA ) , in whose opinion the judgement was commercially and politically motivated . He argued that not only was doping rife amongst Russian athletes but that there was no sign of it being eradicated . The CAS decision to overturn the life bans of 28 Russian athletes and restore their medals was also fiercely criticised , by Olympic officials , IOC president Thomas Bach and whistleblower Grigory Rodchenkov 's lawyer . National hockey League ( edit ) For the first time since 1998 , the National Hockey League did not provide accommodations ( including a break in the season for all teams during the Olympics ) to allow its players to participate in the men 's ice hockey tournament . The NHL 's decision stemmed from their demands that the IOC cover the cost of insuring the NHL players who participated in the Games . Although the IOC did pay to insure NHL players in Sochi , the commission was unwilling to do so for Pyeongchang , and was concerned that the NHL 's demand could set a precedent for other professional sports bodies to follow . NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman added that a factor in the decision was that the IOC did not allow the NHL to promote the involvement of its players in the Olympics . The NHL secured the cooperation of the International Ice Hockey Federation and the IOC , who agreed to establish a blacklist forbidding national teams from nominating or accepting players under NHL contract to their Olympic rosters . Other leagues , such as the Swedish Hockey League , did not close during the games , but teams had to accept that some players took part in the games instead of the league .

8905253170115073719 | History of capitalism | History of capitalism - wikipedia History of capitalism Max Weber 's model of capitalist development The history of capitalism has diverse and much debated roots , but fully - fledged capitalism is generally thought to have emerged in north - west Europe , especially in the Low Countries ( mainly present - day Flanders and Netherlands ) and Britain , in the sixteenth to seventeenth centuries . Over the following centuries , capital has been accumulated by a variety of different methods , in a variety of scales , and associated with a great deal of variation in the concentration of economic power and wealth , and capitalism has gradually become the dominant economic system throughout the world . Much of the history of the past five hundred years is , therefore , concerned with the development of capitalism in its various forms . Contents 1 Varieties of capitalism 2 Historiography 2.1 Origins of capitalism 2.1. 1 Role of Dutch - speaking regions in the rise of modern capitalism 2.1. 2 Other views 2.2 Twenty - first - century developments 3 Agrarian capitalism 3.1 The ' crisis of the fourteenth century ' 3.2 Enclosure 4 Merchant capitalism and mercantilism 4.1 Precedents 4.2 Emergence 4.3 Doctrines 4.4 Chartered trading companies 5 Industrial capitalism 5.1 Industrial Revolution 5.2 Finance 5.3 Free trade and globalization 6 Twentieth century 6.1 Keynesianism and free markets 6.2 Globalization 7 Today 8 Future 9 Role of women 10 See also 11 References 12 Further reading Varieties of capitalism ( edit ) It is an ongoing debate within the fields of economics and sociology as to what the past , current and future stages of capitalism consist of . While ongoing disagreement about exact stages exists , many economists have posited the following general states . These states are not mutually exclusive and do not represent a fixed order of historical change , but do represent a broadly chronological trend . Laissez - faire capitalism , a social system in which the government is exclusively devoted to the protection of individual rights , including property rights -- one in which there exists absolutely no government intervention in the economy . Agrarian capitalism , sometimes known as market feudalism . This was a transitional form between feudalism and capitalism , whereby market relations replaced some but not all of feudal relations in a society . Mercantilism , where national governments sought to maintain positive balances of trade and acquire gold bullion . Industrial capitalism , characterized by its use of heavy machinery and a much more pronounced division of labor . Monopoly capitalism , marked by the rise of monopolies and trusts dominating industry as well as other aspects of society . Often used to describe the economy of the late 19th and early 20th century . Colonialism , where governments sought to colonize other areas to improve access to markets and raw materials and improve the standing of nationally based capitalist firms . Predominant in the 1890s , notably as a response to the economic crises of the 1890s . Welfare capitalism , where mixed economies predominated and governments sought to provide a safety net to alleviate the worst abuses of capitalism . The heyday of welfare capitalism ( in advanced economies ) is widely seen to be from 1945 to 1973 as major social safety nets were put in place in most advanced capitalist economies . Mass production , post-World War II , saw the rising hegemony of major corporations and a focus on mass production , mass consumption and ( ideally ) mass employment . This stage sees the rise of advertising as a way to promote mass consumption and often sees significant economic planning taking place within firms . State capitalism , where the state intervened to prevent economic instability , including partially or fully nationalizing certain industries . Some economists also include the economies of the Soviet Union and the Eastern Bloc in this category . Corporatism , where government , business and labor collude to make major national decisions . Notable for being an economic model of fascism , it can overlap with , but is still significantly different from state capitalism . Financialization , or financial capitalism , where financial parts of the economy ( like the finance , insurance , or real estate sectors ) predominate in an economy . Profit becomes more derived from ownership of an asset , credit , rents and earning interest , rather than actual productive processes . Historiography ( edit ) The processes by which capitalism came about , evolved , and spread , are the subject of extensive research and debate among historians . Debates sometimes circle around how capitalism is defined , but a significant body of work has been able to bring substantive historical data to bear on key questions . Key parameters of debate include : how far capitalism is a natural human behaviour and how far it arises from specific historical circumstances ; whether its origins lie in towns and trade or in rural property relations ; the role of class conflict ; the role of the state ; how far it is a distinctively European innovation ; its relationship with European imperialism ; whether technological change is a driver or merely an epiphenomenon of capitalism ; and whether or not it is the most beneficial way to organise human societies . The historiography of capitalism can be divided into two broad schools . One is associated with economic liberalism , with the eighteenth - century economist Adam Smith as a foundational figure , and one with Marxism , drawing particular inspiration from the nineteenth - century economist Karl Marx . Liberals tend to view capitalism as an expression of natural human behaviours which have been in evidence for millennia , and the most beneficial way of promoting human wellbeing . They tend to see capitalism as originating in trade and commerce , and freeing people to exercise their entrepreneurial natures . Marxists tend to view capitalism as a historically unusual system of relationships between classes , which could be replaced by other economic systems which would serve human wellbeing better . They tend to see capitalism as originating in more powerful people taking control of the means of production , and compelling others to sell their labour as a commodity . For these reasons , much of the work on the history of capitalism has been broadly Marxist . Origins of capitalism ( edit ) The origins of capitalism have been much debated ( and depend partly on how the defining features of capitalism are defined ) . The traditional account , originating in classical eighteenth - century liberal economic thought and still often articulated , is the ' commercialization model ' . This sees capitalism originating in trade . Since evidence for trade is found even in palaeolithic culture , it can be seen as natural to human societies . In this reading , capitalism emerged from earlier trade once merchants had acquired sufficient wealth ( referred to as ' primitive capital ' ) to begin investing in increasingly productive technology . This account tends to see capitalism as a natural continuation of trade , arising when people 's natural entrepreneurialism was freed from the constraints of feudalism , partly by urbanization . Thus it traces capitalism to early forms of merchant capitalism practiced in Western Europe during the Middle Ages . Role of Dutch - speaking regions in the rise of modern capitalism ( edit ) A 400 - year history of global finance capitalism Courtyard of the Amsterdam Stock Exchange ( or Beurs van Hendrick de Keyser in Dutch ) , a powerhouse of Dutch capitalism in the 1600s . The birth of the world 's first formally listed public company ( the Dutch East India Company ) and first formal stock exchange ( the Amsterdam Stock Exchange ) , in the 17th - century Dutch Republic , helped usher in a new era of stock market capitalism or financial capitalism in general , as a milestone in the history of modern capitalism . The trading floor of the New York Stock Exchange ( NYSE ) , one of the foremost symbols of American capitalism , in the early 21st century . Replica of an East Indiaman of the Dutch East India Company / United East Indies Company ( VOC ) . The VOC was a driving force behind the rise of financial capitalism in the early modern period . In Timothy Brook 's words , `` the Dutch East India Company -- the VOC , as it is known -- is to corporate capitalism what Benjamin Franklin 's kite is to electronics : the beginning of something momentous that could not have been predicted at the time . '' The shipyard of the Dutch East India Company ( VOC ) in Amsterdam ( 1726 engraving by Joseph Mulder ) . The shipbuilding district of Zaan , near Amsterdam , became one of the world 's earliest known industrialized areas , with around 900 wind - powered sawmills at the end of the 17th century . By the early seventeenth century Dutch shipyards were producing a large number of ships to a standard design , allowing extensive division of labour , a specialization which further reduced unit costs . `` Even in the days before perestroika , socialism was never a monolith . Within the Communist countries , the spectrum of socialism ranged from the quasi-market , quasi-syndicalist system of Yugoslavia to the centralized totalitarianism of neighboring Albania . One time I asked Professor von Mises , the great expert on the economics of socialism , at what point on this spectrum of statism would he designate a country as `` socialist '' or not . At that time , I was n't sure that any definite criterion existed to make that sort of clear - cut judgment . And so I was pleasantly surprised at the clarity and decisiveness of Mises 's answer . `` A stock market , '' he answered promptly . `` A stock market is crucial to the existence of capitalism and private property . For it means that there is a functioning market in the exchange of private titles to the means of production . There can be no genuine private ownership of capital without a stock market : there can be no true socialism if such a market is allowed to exist . '' '' -- Murray Rothbard , in `` Making Economic Sense '' ( 2006 ) `` Business ventures with multiple shareholders became popular with commenda contracts in medieval Italy ( Greif 2006 , 286 ) , and Malmendier ( 2009 ) provides evidence that shareholder companies date back to ancient Rome . Yet the title of the world 's first stock market deservedly goes to that of seventeenth - century Amsterdam , where an active secondary market in company shares emerged . The two major companies were the Dutch East India Company and the Dutch West India Company , founded in 1602 and 1621 . Other companies existed , but they were not as large and constituted a small portion of the stock market . '' -- Edward P. Stringham & Nicholas A. Curott , in `` The Oxford Handbook of Austrian Economics '' ( On the Origins of Stock Markets ) ( 2015 ) `` Its ( the Dutch East India Company 's ) fame as the first public company , which heralded the transition from feudalism to modern capitalism , and its remarkable financial success for nearly two centuries ensure its importance in the history of capitalism . '' -- Warwick Funnell & Jeffrey Robertson , in `` Accounting by the First Public Company '' ( 2014 ) The role of Dutch - speaking lands , especially present - day Flanders and the Netherlands ( in particular modern - day North Holland and South Holland ) , in the history of capitalism has been a much discussed and researched subject . Capitalism began to develop into its modern form during the Early Modern period in the Protestant countries of North - Western Europe , especially the Netherlands ( Dutch Republic ) and England : traders in Amsterdam and London created the first chartered joint - stock companies driving up commerce and trade , and the first stock exchanges and banking and insurance institutions were established . The world 's earliest recorded speculative bubbles and stock market crashes have their roots in 17th - century Holland . The Dutch Republic was also an early industrialized nation - state in its Golden Age . 17th - century Dutch mechanical innovations / inventions such as wind - powered sawmills and Hollander beaters helped revolutionize shipbuilding and paper industries in the early modern period . The Dutch also played a pioneering role in the rise of the capitalist world - system . World - systems theorists ( including Immanuel Wallerstein and Giovanni Arrighi ) often consider the economic and financial supremacy of the 17th - century Dutch Republic to be the first historical model of the capitalist hegemony . As Thomas Hall ( 2000 ) notes , `` The Sung Empire in particular nearly underwent a transformation to capitalism in the tenth century C.E. But the only states to be controlled by capitalists before the European transformation in the seventeenth century were semiperipheral capitalist city - states such as the Phoenician cities , Venice , Genoa , and Malacca . These operated in the interstices between the tributary states and empires , and though they were agents of commodification , they existed within larger systems in which the logic of state - based coercion remained dominant . The first capitalist nation - state was the Dutch Republic in the seventeenth century . This coming to state power by capitalists in an emerging core region signaled the triumph of regional capitalism in the European subsystem . '' In Werner Sombart 's words , `` In all probability the United Provinces were the land in which the capitalist spirit for the first time attained its fullest maturity ; where this maturity related to all its aspects , which were equally developed ; and where this development had never been done comprehensive before . Moreover , in the Netherlands an entire people became imbued with the capitalist spirit ; so much so , that in the 17th century Holland was universally regarded as the land of capitalism par exellence ; it was envied by all other nations , who put forth their keenest endeavours in their desire to emulate it ; it was the high school of every art of the tradesman , and the well - watered garden wherein the middle - class virtues throve . '' Foundational thinkers for this approach include Adam Smith , Max Weber , Fernand Braudel , Henri Pirenne , and Paul Sweezy . Other views ( edit ) However , the ' commercialization model ' has been questioned , with a leading competitor being the ' agrarian model ' . This notes that traditional mercantilism focused on moving goods from markets where they were cheap to markets where they were expensive rather than investing in production , and that many cultures ( including the early modern Dutch Republic ) saw urbanisation , and merchants amassing great wealth , without capitalist production emerging . The ' agrarian model ' instead argues that capitalism arose from unique circumstances in English agrarianism . The agrarian argument developed particularly through Karl Polanyi 's The Great Transformation ( 1944 ) , Maurice Dobb 's Studies in the Development of Capitalism ( 1946 ) , and Robert Brenner 's research in the 1970s , the discussion of which is known as the Brenner Debate . In the wake of the Norman Conquest , the English state was unusually centralised . This gave aristocrats relatively limited powers to extract wealth directly from their feudal underlings through political means ( not least the threat of violence ) . England 's centralisation also meant that an unusual number of English farmers were not peasants ( with their own land and thus direct access to subsistence ) but tenants ( renting their land ) . These circumstances produced a market in leases . Landlords , lacking other ways to extract wealth , were incentivised to rent to those tenants who could pay the most , while tenants , lacking security of tenure , were incentivised to farm as productively as possible to be able to win leases in a competitive market . This led to a cascade of effects whereby successful tenant farmers became agrarian capitalists ; unsuccessful ones became wage - labourers , required to sell their labour in order to live ; and landlords promoted the privatisation and renting out of common land , not least through the enclosures . In this reading , ' it was not merchants or manufacturers who drove the process that propelled the early development of capitalism . The transformation of social property relations was firmly rooted in the countryside , and the transformation of England 's trade and industry was result more than cause of England 's transition to capitalism ' . The present article includes both perspectives . Twenty - first - century developments ( edit ) The twenty - first century has seen renewed interest in the history of capitalism , and `` History of Capitalism '' has become a field in its own right , with courses in history departments . In the 2000s , Harvard University founded the Program on the Study of U.S. Capitalism ; Cornell University established the History of Capitalism Initiative ; and Columbia University Press launched a monograph series entitled Studies in the History of U.S. Capitalism . This field includes topics such as insurance , banking and regulation , the political dimension , and the impact on the middle classes , the poor and women and minorities . These initiatives incorporate formerly neglected questions of race , gender , and sexuality into the history of capitalism . They have grown in the aftermath of the financial crisis of 2007 -- 2008 and the associated Great Recession . Agrarian capitalism ( edit ) The ' crisis of the fourteenth century ' ( edit ) Map of a medieval manor . Notice the large commons area and the division of land into small strips . The mustard - colored areas are part of the demesne , the hatched areas part of the glebe . William R. Shepherd , Historical Atlas , 01923 According to some historians , the modern capitalist system has its origin in the `` crisis of the fourteenth century '' , a conflict between the land - owning aristocracy and the agricultural producers , or serfs . Manorial arrangements inhibited the development of capitalism in a number of ways . Serfs had obligations to produce for lords and therefore had no interest in technological innovation ; they also had no interest in cooperating with one another since they produced to sustain their own families . The lords who owned the land relied on force to guarantee that they were provided with sufficient food . Because lords were not producing to sell on the market , there was no competitive pressure for them to innovate . Finally , because lords expanded their power and wealth through military means , they spent their wealth on military equipment or on conspicuous consumption that helped foster alliances with other lords ; they had no incentive to invest in developing new productive technologies . The demographic crisis of the fourteenth century upset this arrangement . This crisis had several causes : agricultural productivity reached its technological limitations and stopped growing , bad weather led to the Great Famine of 1315 -- 1317 , and the Black Death of 1348 -- 1350 led to a population crash . These factors led to a decline in agricultural production . In response , feudal lords sought to expand agricultural production by expanding their domains through warfare ; they therefore demanded more tribute from their serfs to pay for military expenses . In England , many serfs rebelled . Some moved to towns , some purchased land , and some entered into favorable contracts to rent lands from lords who needed to repopulate their estates . The collapse of the manorial system in England enlarged the class of tenant farmers with more freedom to market their goods and thus more incentive to invest in new technologies . Lords who did not want to rely on renters could buy out or evict tenant farmers , but then had to hire free labor to work their estates , giving them an incentive to invest in two very different kinds of commodity owners : those who had money , the means of production , and subsistence , who were eager to valorize the sum of value they had appropriated by buying the labor power of others ; and the free workers , who sold their own labor power and , therefore , labor . The free workers were `` free workers '' in the double sense that they neither formed part of the means of production nor did they own the means of production that transformed land and even money into what we now call `` capital '' . Marx labeled this period the `` pre-history of capitalism '' . In effect , feudalism began to lay some of the foundations necessary for the development of mercantilism , a precursor of capitalism . Feudalism was mostly confined to Europe and lasted from the medieval period through the sixteenth century . Feudal manors were almost entirely self - sufficient , and therefore limited the role of the market . This stifled any incipient tendency towards capitalism . However , the relatively sudden emergence of new technologies and discoveries , particularly in agriculture and exploration , facilitated the growth of capitalism . The most important development at the end of feudalism was the emergence of what Robert Degan calls `` the dichotomy between wage earners and capitalist merchants '' . The competitive nature meant there are always winners and losers , and this became clear as feudalism evolved into mercantilism , an economic system characterized by the private or corporate ownership of capital goods , investments determined by private decisions , and by prices , production , and the distribution of goods determined mainly by competition in a free market . Enclosure ( edit ) Main article : Enclosure Decaying hedges mark the lines of the straight field boundaries created by a Parliamentary Act of Enclosure . England in the 16th century was already a centralized state , in which much of the feudal order of Medieval Europe had been swept away . This centralization was strengthened by a good system of roads and a disproportionately large capital city , London . The capital acted as a central market hub for the entire country , creating a large internal market for goods , in contrast to the fragmented feudal holdings that prevailed in most parts of the Continent . The economic foundations of the agricultural system were also beginning to diverge substantially ; the manorial system had broken down by this time , and land began to be concentrated in the hands of fewer landlords with increasingly large estates . The system put pressure on both the landlords and the tenants to increase agricultural productivity to create profit ; the weakened coercive power of the aristocracy to extract peasant surpluses encouraged them to try out better methods , and the tenants also had an incentive to improve their methods , in order to succeed in an increasingly competitive labour market . Land rents had moved away from the previous stagnant system of custom and feudal obligation , and were becoming directly subject to economic market forces . An important aspect of this process of change was the enclosure of the common land previously held in the open field system where peasants had traditional rights , such as mowing meadows for hay and grazing livestock . Once enclosed , these uses of the land became restricted to the owner , and it ceased to be land for commons . The process of enclosure began to be a widespread feature of the English agricultural landscape during the 16th century . By the 19th century , unenclosed commons had become largely restricted to rough pasture in mountainous areas and to relatively small parts of the lowlands . Marxist and neo-Marxist historians argue that rich landowners used their control of state processes to appropriate public land for their private benefit . This created a landless working class that provided the labour required in the new industries developing in the north of England . For example : `` In agriculture the years between 1760 and 1820 are the years of wholesale enclosure in which , in village after village , common rights are lost '' . `` Enclosure ( when all the sophistications are allowed for ) was a plain enough case of class robbery '' . Other scholars argue that the better - off members of the European peasantry encouraged and participated actively in enclosure , seeking to end the perpetual poverty of subsistence farming . `` We should be careful not to ascribe to ( enclosure ) developments that were the consequence of a much broader and more complex process of historical change . '' `` ( T ) he impact of eighteenth and nineteenth century enclosure has been grossly exaggerated ... '' Merchant capitalism and mercantilism ( edit ) Main articles : Merchant capitalism and Mercantilism Precedents ( edit ) A painting of a French seaport from 1638 , at the height of mercantilism . The earliest recorded activity of long - distance profit - seeking merchants can be traced back to the Old Assyrian merchants active in the 2nd millennium BCE . The Roman Empire developed more advanced forms of commerce , and similarly widespread networks existed in Islamic nations , but capitalism took shape in Europe in the late Middle Ages and Renaissance . However , while trade has existed since early in human history , it was not capitalism . An early emergence of commerce occurred on monastic estates in Italy and France and in the independent city republics of Italy during the late Middle Ages . Innovations in banking , insurance , accountancy , and various production and commercial practices linked closely to a ' spirit ' of frugality , reinvestment , and city life , promoted attitudes which sociologists have tended to associate only with northern Europe , Protestantism and a much later age . The city republics maintained their political independence from Empire and Church , traded with North Africa , the Middle East and Asia , and introduced Eastern practices . They were also considerably different from the absolutist monarchies of Spain and France , and were strongly attached to civic liberty . Emergence ( edit ) Modern capitalism , however , only fully emerged in the early modern period between the 16th and 18th centuries , with the establishment of mercantilism or merchant capitalism . Early evidence for mercantilistic practices appears in early modern Venice , Genoa , and Pisa over the Mediterranean trade in bullion . The region of mercantilism 's real birth , however , was the Atlantic Ocean . Sir Josiah Child , an influential proponent of mercantilism . Painting attributed to John Riley . England began a large - scale and integrative approach to mercantilism during the Elizabethan Era . An early statement on national balance of trade appeared in Discourse of the Common Weal of this Realm of England , 1549 : `` We must always take heed that we buy no more from strangers than we sell them , for so should we impoverish ourselves and enrich them . '' The period featured various but often disjointed efforts by the court of Queen Elizabeth to develop a naval and merchant fleet capable of challenging the Spanish stranglehold on trade and of expanding the growth of bullion at home . Queen Elizabeth promoted the Trade and Navigation Acts in Parliament and issued orders to her navy for the protection and promotion of English shipping . These efforts organized national resources sufficiently in the defense of England against the far larger and more powerful Spanish Empire , and in turn paved the foundation for establishing a global empire in the 19th century . The authors noted most for establishing the English mercantilist system include Gerard de Malynes and Thomas Mun , who first articulated the Elizabethan System . The latter 's England 's Treasure by Forraign Trade , or the Balance of our Forraign Trade is The Rule of Our Treasure gave a systematic and coherent explanation of the concept of balance of trade . It was written in the 1620s and published in 1664 . Mercantile doctrines were further developed by Josiah Child . Numerous French authors helped to cement French policy around mercantilism in the 17th century . French mercantilism was best articulated by Jean - Baptiste Colbert ( in office , 1665 -- 1683 ) , although his policies were greatly liberalised under Napoleon . Doctrines ( edit ) Under mercantilism , European merchants , backed by state controls , subsidies , and monopolies , made most of their profits from the buying and selling of goods . In the words of Francis Bacon , the purpose of mercantilism was `` the opening and well - balancing of trade ; the cherishing of manufacturers ; the banishing of idleness ; the repressing of waste and excess by sumptuary laws ; the improvement and husbanding of the soil ; the regulation of prices ... '' Similar practices of economic regimentation had begun earlier in the medieval towns . However , under mercantilism , given the contemporaneous rise of absolutism , the state superseded the local guilds as the regulator of the economy . The Anglo - Dutch Wars were fought between the English and the Dutch for control over the seas and trade routes . Among the major tenets of mercantilist theory was bullionism , a doctrine stressing the importance of accumulating precious metals . Mercantilists argued that a state should export more goods than it imported so that foreigners would have to pay the difference in precious metals . Mercantilists asserted that only raw materials that could not be extracted at home should be imported ; and promoted government subsidies , such as the granting of monopolies and protective tariffs , were necessary to encourage home production of manufactured goods . Proponents of mercantilism emphasized state power and overseas conquest as the principal aim of economic policy . If a state could not supply its own raw materials , according to the mercantilists , it should acquire colonies from which they could be extracted . Colonies constituted not only sources of supply for raw materials but also markets for finished products . Because it was not in the interests of the state to allow competition , to help the mercantilists , colonies should be prevented from engaging in manufacturing and trading with foreign powers . Mercantilism was a system of trade for profit , although commodities were still largely produced by non-capitalist production methods . Noting the various pre-capitalist features of mercantilism , Karl Polanyi argued that `` mercantilism , with all its tendency toward commercialization , never attacked the safeguards which protected ( the ) two basic elements of production -- labor and land -- from becoming the elements of commerce '' ; thus with mercantilism regulation was more akin to feudalism than capitalism . According to Polanyi , `` not until 1834 was a competitive labor market established in England , hence industrial capitalism as a social system can not be said to have existed before that date . '' Chartered trading companies ( edit ) British East India Company 1801 The Muscovy Company was the first major chartered joint stock English trading company established in 1555 with a monopoly on trade between England and Muscovy . It was an offshoot of the earlier Company of Merchant Adventurers to New Lands , founded in 1551 by Richard Chancellor , Sebastian Cabot and Sir Hugh Willoughby to locate the Northeast Passage to China to allow trade . This was the precursor to a type of business that would soon flourish in England , the Dutch Republic and elsewhere . The British East India Company ( 1600 ) and the Dutch East India Company ( 1602 ) launched an era of large state chartered trading companies . These companies were characterized by their monopoly on trade , granted by letters patent provided by the state . Recognized as chartered joint - stock companies by the state , these companies enjoyed power , ranging from lawmaking , military , and treaty - making privileges . Characterized by its colonial and expansionary powers by states , powerful nation - states sought to accumulate precious metals , and military conflicts arose . During this era , merchants , who had previously traded on their own , invested capital in the East India Companies and other colonies , seeking a return on investment . Industrial capitalism ( edit ) Gustave Doré 's 19th - century engraving depicted the dirty , overcrowded slums where the industrial workers of London lived . Mercantilism declined in Great Britain in the mid-18th century , when a new group of economic theorists , led by Adam Smith , challenged fundamental mercantilist doctrines as the belief that the amount of the world 's wealth remained constant and that a state could only increase its wealth at the expense of another state . However , in more undeveloped economies , such as Prussia and Russia , with their much younger manufacturing bases , mercantilism continued to find favor after other states had turned to newer doctrines . The mid-18th century gave rise to industrial capitalism , made possible by ( 1 ) the accumulation of vast amounts of capital under the merchant phase of capitalism and its investment in machinery , and ( 2 ) the fact that the Enclosures meant that Britain had a large population of people with no access to subsistence agriculture , who needed to buy basic commodities via the market , thus ensuing a mass consumer market . Industrial capitalism , which Marx dated from the last third of the 18th century , marked the development of the factory system of manufacturing , characterized by a complex division of labor between and within work process and the routinization of work tasks ; and finally established the global domination of the capitalist mode of production . During the resulting Industrial Revolution , the industrialist replaced the merchant as a dominant actor in the capitalist system and effected the decline of the traditional handicraft skills of artisans , guilds , and journeymen . Also during this period , capitalism marked the transformation of relations between the British landowning gentry and peasants , giving rise to the production of cash crops for the market rather than for subsistence on a feudal manor . The surplus generated by the rise of commercial agriculture encouraged increased mechanization of agriculture . Industrial Revolution ( edit ) Main article : Industrial Revolution The productivity gains of capitalist production began a sustained and unprecedented increase at the turn of the 19th century , in a process commonly referred to as the Industrial Revolution . Starting in about 1760 in England , there was a steady transition to new manufacturing processes in a variety of industries , including going from hand production methods to machine production , new chemical manufacturing and iron production processes , improved efficiency of water power , the increasing use of steam power and the development of machine tools . It also included the change from wood and other bio-fuels to coal . The Spinning mule , built by the inventor Samuel Crompton . In textile manufacturing , mechanized cotton spinning powered by steam or water increased the output of a worker by a factor of about 1000 , due to the application of James Hargreaves ' spinning jenny , Richard Arkwright 's water frame , Samuel Crompton 's Spinning Mule and other inventions . The power loom increased the output of a worker by a factor of over 40 . The cotton gin increased productivity or removing seed from cotton by a factor of 50 . Large gains in productivity also occurred in spinning and weaving of wool and linen , but they were not as great as in cotton . Finance ( edit ) The Rothschild family revolutionised international finance . The Frankfurt terminus of the Taunus Railway was financed by the Rothschilds and opened in 1840 as one of Germany 's first railways . The growth of Britain 's industry stimulated a concomitant growth in her system of finance and credit . In the 18th century , services offered by banks increased . Clearing facilities , security investments , cheques and overdraft protections were introduced . Cheques were invented in the 17th century in England and banks settled payments by direct courier to the issuing bank . Around 1770 , they began meeting in a central location , and by the 19th century a dedicated space was established , known as a bankers ' clearing house . The London clearing house used a method where each bank paid cash to and then was paid cash by an inspector at the end of each day . The first overdraft facility was set up in 1728 by The Royal Bank of Scotland . The end of the Napoleonic War and the subsequent rebound in trade , led to an expansion in the bullion reserves held by the Bank of England , from a low of under 4 million pounds in 1821 to 14 million pounds by late 1824 . Older innovations became routine parts of financial life during the 19th century . The Bank of England first issued bank notes during the 17th century , but the notes were hand written and few in number . After 1725 they were partially printed , but cashiers still had to sign each note and make them payable to a named person . In 1844 , parliament passed the Bank Charter Act tying these notes to gold reserves , effectively creating the institution of central banking and monetary policy . The notes became fully printed and widely available from 1855 . Growing international trade increased the number of banks , especially in London . These new `` merchant banks '' facilitated trade growth , profiting from England 's emerging dominance in seaborne shipping . Two immigrant families , Rothschild and Baring , established merchant banking firms in London in the late 18th century and came to dominate world banking in the next century . The tremendous wealth amassed by these banking firms soon attracted much attention . The poet George Gordon Byron wrote in 1823 : `` Who makes politics run glibber all ? / The shade of Bonaparte 's noble daring ? / Jew Rothschild and his fellow - Christian , Baring . '' The operation of banks also shifted . At the beginning of the century , banking was still an elite preoccupation of a handful of very wealthy families . Within a few decades , however , a new sort of banking had emerged , owned by anonymous stockholders , run by professional managers , and the recipient of the deposits of a growing body of small middle - class savers . Although this new breed of banks was new in prominence , it was not newly invented -- the Quaker family Barclays , had been banking in this manner since 1690 . Free trade and globalization ( edit ) At the height of the First French Empire , Napoleon sought to introduce a `` continental system '' that would render Europe economically autonomous , thereby emasculating British trade and commerce . It involved such stratagems as the use of beet sugar in preference to the cane sugar that had to be imported from the tropics . Although this caused businessmen in England to agitate for peace , the government was able to persevere , in part because the United Kingdom was well into the industrial revolution . The war had the opposite effect -- it stimulated the growth of certain industries like pig - iron output , which was just 68,000 tons in 1788 and soared to 244,000 tons by 1806 . 19th - century Great Britain become the first global economic superpower , because of superior manufacturing technology and improved global communications such as steamships and railroads . In 1817 , David Ricardo , James Mill and Robert Torrens showed that free trade would benefit the industrially weak as well as the strong , in the famous theory of comparative advantage . In Principles of Political Economy and Taxation Ricardo advanced the doctrine still considered the most counterintuitive in economics : When an inefficient producer sends the merchandise it produces best to a country able to produce it more efficiently , both countries benefit . By the mid 19th century , Britain was firmly wedded to the notion of free trade and the first era of globalization began . In the 1840s , the Corn Laws and the Navigation Acts were repealed , ushering in a new age of free trade . In line with the teachings of the classical political economists , led by Adam Smith and David Ricardo , Britain embraced liberalism , encouraging competition and the development of a market economy . Industrialization allowed cheap production of household items using economies of scale , while rapid population growth created sustained demand for commodities . Globalization in this period was decisively shaped by nineteenth - century imperialism . After the First and Second Opium Wars and the completion of British conquest of India , vast populations of these regions became ready consumers of European exports . It was in this period that areas of sub-Saharan Africa and the Pacific islands were incorporated into the world system . Meanwhile , the conquest of new parts of the globe , notably sub-Saharan Africa , by Europeans yielded valuable natural resources such as rubber , diamonds and coal and helped fuel trade and investment between the European imperial powers , their colonies , and the United States . The gold standard formed the financial basis of the international economy from 1870 to 1914 . `` The inhabitant of London could order by telephone , sipping his morning tea , the various products of the whole earth , and reasonably expect their early delivery upon his doorstep . Militarism and imperialism of racial and cultural rivalries were little more than the amusements of his daily newspaper . What an extraordinary episode in the economic progress of man was that age which came to an end in August 1914 . '' The global financial system was mainly tied to the gold standard in this period . The United Kingdom first formally adopted this standard in 1821 . Soon to follow was Canada in 1853 , Newfoundland in 1865 , and the United States and Germany ( de jure ) in 1873 . New technologies , such as the telegraph , the transatlantic cable , the Radiotelephone , the steamship , and railway allowed goods and information to move around the world at an unprecedented degree . The eruption of civil war in the United States in 1861 and the blockade of its ports to international commerce meant that the main supply of cotton for the Lancashire looms was cut off . The textile industries shifted to reliance upon cotton from Africa and Asia during the course of the U.S. civil war , and this fact created pressure for an Anglo - French controlled canal through the Suez peninsula . The Suez canal opened in 1869 ; in the same year the Central Pacific Railroad that spanned the North American continent was completed . Capitalism and the engine of profit was making the globe a smaller place . Twentieth century ( edit ) Several major challenges to capitalism appeared in the early part of the 20th century . The Russian revolution in 1917 established the first socialist state in the world ; a decade later , the Great Depression triggered increasing criticism of the existing capitalist system . One response to this crisis was a turn to fascism , an ideology which advocated state - influenced capitalism ; whilst others rejected capitalism altogether in favor of communist or socialist ideologies . Keynesianism and free markets ( edit ) Main articles : Keynesianism and Neoliberalism The New York stock exchange traders ' floor ( 1963 ) The economic recovery of the world 's leading capitalist economies in the period following the end of the Great Depression and the Second World War -- a period of unusually rapid growth by historical standards -- eased discussion of capitalism 's eventual decline or demise . The state began to play an increasingly prominent role to moderate and regulate the capitalistic system throughout much of the world . Keynesian economics became a widely accepted method of government regulation and countries such as the United Kingdom experimented with mixed economies in which the state owned and operated certain major industries . The state also expanded in the US ; in 1929 , total government expenditures amounted to less than one - tenth of GNP ; from the 1970s they amounted to around one - third . Similar increases were seen in all industrialized capitalist economies , some of which , such as France , have reached even higher ratios of government expenditures to GNP than the United States . A broad array of new analytical tools in the social sciences were developed to explain the social and economic trends of the period , including the concepts of post-industrial society and the welfare state . The long postwar boom ended in the 1970s , amid the economic crises experienced following the 1973 oil crisis . The `` stagflation '' of the 1970s led many economic commentators and politicians to embrace market - oriented policy prescriptions inspired by the laissez - faire capitalism and classical liberalism of the 19th century , particularly under the influence of Friedrich Hayek and Milton Friedman . The theoretical alternative to Keynesianism was more compatible with laissez - faire and emphasized rapid expansion of the economy . Market - oriented solutions gained increasing support in the capitalist world , especially under leadership of Ronald Reagan in the U.S. and Margaret Thatcher in the UK in the 1980s . Public and political interest began shifting away from the so - called collectivist concerns of Keynes 's managed capitalism to a focus on individual choice , called `` remarketized capitalism . '' In the eyes of many economic and political commentators , the collapse of the Soviet Union brought further evidence of the superiority of market capitalism over planned economy . Globalization ( edit ) The New York Stock Exchange . Although overseas trade has been associated with the development of capitalism for over five hundred years , some thinkers argue that a number of trends associated with globalization have acted to increase the mobility of people and capital since the last quarter of the 20th century , combining to circumscribe the room to maneuver of states in choosing non-capitalist models of development . Today , these trends have bolstered the argument that capitalism should now be viewed as a truly world system ( Burnham ) . However , other thinkers argue that globalization , even in its quantitative degree , is no greater now than during earlier periods of capitalist trade . After the abandonment of the Bretton Woods system in 1971 , and the strict state control of foreign exchange rates , the total value of transactions in foreign exchange was estimated to be at least twenty times greater than that of all foreign movements of goods and services ( EB ) . The internationalization of finance , which some see as beyond the reach of state control , combined with the growing ease with which large corporations have been able to relocate their operations to low - wage states , has posed the question of the ' eclipse ' of state sovereignty , arising from the growing ' globalization ' of capital . While economists generally agree about the size of global income inequality , there is a general disagreement about the recent direction of change of it . In cases such as China , where income inequality is clearly growing it is also evident that overall economic growth has rapidly increased with capitalist reforms . The book The Improving State of the World , published by the libertarian think tank Cato Institute , argues that economic growth since the Industrial Revolution has been very strong and that factors such as adequate nutrition , life expectancy , infant mortality , literacy , prevalence of child labor , education , and available free time have improved greatly . Some scholars , including Stephen Hawking and researchers for the International Monetary Fund , contend that globalization and neoliberal economic policies are not ameliorating inequality and poverty but exacerbating it , and are creating new forms of contemporary slavery . Such policies are also expanding populations of the displaced , the unemployed and the imprisoned along with accelerating the destruction of the environment and species extinction . In 2017 , the IMF warned that inequality within nations , in spite of global inequality falling in recent decades , has risen so sharply that it threatens economic growth and could result in further political polarization . Today ( edit ) By the beginning of the 21st century , capitalism had become the pervasive economic system worldwide . The collapse of the Soviet bloc in 1991 significantly reduced the influence of Socialism as an alternative economic system . Socialist movements continue to be influential in some parts of the world , most notably Latin - American Bolivarianism , with some having ties to more traditional anti-capitalist movements , such as Bolivarian Venezuela 's ties to communist Cuba . In many emerging markets , the influence of banking and financial capital have come to increasingly shape national developmental strategies , leading some to argue we are in a new phase of financial capitalism . State intervention in global capital markets following the financial crisis of 2007 -- 2010 was perceived by some as signaling a crisis for free - market capitalism . Serious turmoil in the banking system and financial markets due in part to the subprime mortgage crisis reached a critical stage during September 2008 , characterized by severely contracted liquidity in the global credit markets posed an existential threat to investment banks and other institutions . Future ( edit ) According to some , the transition to the information society involves abandoning some parts of capitalism , as the `` capital '' required to produce and process information becomes available to the masses and difficult to control , and is closely related to the controversial issues of intellectual property . Some even speculate that the development of mature nanotechnology , particularly of universal assemblers , may make capitalism obsolete , with capital ceasing to be an important factor in the economic life of humanity . Thinkers have also explored what kind of economic system might replace capitalism , such as Paul Mason . Role of women ( edit ) Women 's historians have debated the impact of capitalism on the status of women . Taking a pessimistic side , Alice Clark argued that when capitalism arrived in 17th - century England , it made a negative impact on the status of women as they lost much of their economic importance . Clark argues that in 16th - century England , women were engaged in many aspects of industry and agriculture . The home was a central unit of production and women played a vital role in running farms , and in some trades and landed estates . Their useful economic roles gave them a sort of equality with their husbands . However , Clark argues , as capitalism expanded in the 17th century , there was more and more division of labor with the husband taking paid labor jobs outside the home , and the wife reduced to unpaid household work . Middle - class and women were confined to an idle domestic existence , supervising servants ; lower - class women were forced to take poorly paid jobs . Capitalism , therefore , had a negative effect on women . In a more positive interpretation , Ivy Pinchbeck argues that capitalism created the conditions for women 's emancipation . Tilly and Scott have emphasized the continuity and the status of women , finding three stages in European history . In the preindustrial era , production was mostly for home use and women produce much of the needs of the households . The second stage was the `` family wage economy '' of early industrialization , the entire family depended on the collective wages of its members , including husband , wife and older children . The third or modern stage is the `` family consumer economy , '' in which the family is the site of consumption , and women are employed in large numbers in retail and clerical jobs to support rising standards of consumption .

Murray Rothbard : `` Even in the days before perestroika , socialism was never a monolith . Within the Communist countries , the spectrum of socialism ranged from the quasi-market , quasi-syndicalist system of Yugoslavia to the centralized totalitarianism of neighboring Albania . One time I asked Professor von Mises , the great expert on the economics of socialism , at what point on this spectrum of statism would he designate a country as `` socialist '' or not . At that time , I was n't sure that any definite criterion existed to make that sort of clear - cut judgment . And so I was pleasantly surprised at the clarity and decisiveness of Mises 's answer . `` A stock market , '' he answered promptly . `` A stock market is crucial to the existence of capitalism and private property . For it means that there is a functioning market in the exchange of private titles to the means of production . There can be no genuine private ownership of capital without a stock market : there can be no true socialism if such a market is allowed to exist .

A costly counterattack led by Poe Dameron destroys a First Order dreadnought , but after escaping to hyperspace , the First Order tracks them and attacks the Resistance convoy . Poe is demoted due to the loss of ships and disobeying Leia . 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 , incapacitating Leia . 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 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 help Kylo become a Jedi and under self - imposed exile from the Force , Luke refuses to help -- even after he learns of Han Solo 's death at the hands of Kylo Ren -- and believes that the Jedi should become extinct . Unbeknownst to Luke , Rey and Kylo communicate through the Force , puzzling the two enemies . As the rival Force users learn about each other , each has future visions of themselves as partners . R2 - D2 persuades Luke to train Rey . After Kylo tells Rey about what happened between him and Luke that caused him to choose the dark side of the Force , 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 to confront Kylo without Luke . Luke prepares to burn down the Ahch - To Jedi temple and library , but hesitates . Yoda 's ghost appears and destroys the temple , 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 , who says he can help them disable the tracking device . They infiltrate Snoke 's ship but are captured by Captain Phasma , though BB - 8 escapes . Meanwhile , Rey lands on the ship , and Kylo brings her to Snoke , who reveals that 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 with Rey defeats Snoke 's guards . Rey believes that Kylo has returned to the light side of the Force , but he invites her to rule the galaxy with him ; Rey refuses . They use the Force to fight 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 Captain Phasma , and join 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 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 but to no effect . He then engages Luke in a lightsaber duel . Luke tells Kylo he will not be the last Jedi ; Kylo strikes Luke but realizes he has been fighting Luke 's Force projection . Rey uses the Force to help the Resistance escape on the Falcon . Luke , exhausted , dies peacefully on Ahch - To . His death is sensed by Rey and Leia , but Leia tells surviving rebels that the Resistance has all it needs to rise again .

Production Development See also : Star Wars sequel trilogy Writer and director Rian Johnson 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 , dubbed 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 that was made famous by another filmmaker , to which 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 . The story begins immediately after the last scene of The Force Awakens . He 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 stated that `` we have n't mapped out every single detail ( of the sequel trilogy ) yet '' . She said 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 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 marketing and ensured that Oz stayed on set during filming . Filming Skellig Michael ( top ) , Salar de Uyuni ( middle ) , and Dubrovnik ( bottom ) served as filming locations . 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 stated that 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 2016 , due to script rewrites . Additionally , filming was potentially 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 , 2016 , 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 2016 at the Salar de Uyuni salt flats in Bolivia . Principal photography wrapped on July 22 , 2016 , though as of early September 2016 , 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 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 's own theme for The Long Goodbye ( co-composed by Johnny Mercer ) during Finn and Rose 's escape , although this quote is not heard 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 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 being `` 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 . Some cinemas declined to screen the film due to these conditions , 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 to be 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 .

Critical response On review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes , Star Wars : The Last Jedi has an approval rating of 91 % based on 361 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 '' . Audiences polled by CinemaScore gave the film an average grade of `` A '' on an A+ to F scale , while ComScore reported audiences gave an 89 % overall positive score and a 79 % definite recommend . An audience poll of U.S. adults conducted by SurveyMonkey on the first four days of release found that , out of all the respondents who said they had seen the film , 89 % said they either `` loved '' or `` liked '' it . 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 .

1710095370650997570 | Doppler ultrasonography | Doppler ultrasonography - wikipedia Doppler ultrasonography Jump to : navigation , search Doppler ultrasonography , duplex ultrasonography Medical diagnostics MeSH D018616 MedlinePlus 003433 ( edit on Wikidata ) Spectral duplex scan of the common carotid artery Duplex scan of the common carotid artery Doppler ultrasonography is medical ultrasonography that employs the Doppler effect to generate imaging of the movement of tissues and body fluids ( usually blood ) , and their relative velocity to the probe . By calculating the frequency shift of a particular sample volume , for example flow in an artery or a jet of blood flow over a heart valve , its speed and direction can be determined and visualized . Color Doppler or color flow Doppler is the presentation of the velocity by color scale . Color Doppler images are generally combined with grayscale ( B - mode ) images to display duplex ultrasonography images , allowing for simultaneous visualization of the anatomy of the area . This is particularly useful in cardiovascular studies ( sonography of the vascular system and heart ) and essential in many areas such as determining reverse blood flow in the liver vasculature in portal hypertension . Contents ( hide ) 1 Operation 2 Uses 2.1 Transcranial 2.2 Blood vessels 2.3 Kidneys 2.4 Heart 2.5 Doppler fetal monitor 3 References Operation ( edit ) The Doppler information is displayed graphically using spectral Doppler , or as an image using color Doppler ( directional Doppler ) or power Doppler ( non directional Doppler ) . This Doppler shift falls in the audible range and is often presented audibly using stereo speakers : this produces a very distinctive , although synthetic , pulsating sound . All modern ultrasound scanners use pulsed Doppler to measure velocity . Pulsed wave machines transmit and receive series of pulses . The frequency shift of each pulse is ignored , however the relative phase changes of the pulses are used to obtain the frequency shift ( since frequency is the rate of change of phase ) . The major advantages of pulsed wave Doppler ( = PW Doppler ) over continuous wave ( = CW Doppler ) is that distance information is obtained ( the time between the transmitted and received pulses can be converted into a distance with knowledge of the speed of sound ) and gain correction is applied . The disadvantage of pulsed Doppler is that the measurements can suffer from aliasing . The terms Doppler ultrasound and Doppler sonography have been accepted to apply to both pulsed and continuous Doppler systems , despite the different mechanisms by which the velocity is measured . It should be noted that there are no standards for the display of color Doppler . Some laboratories show arteries as red and veins as blue , as medical illustrators usually show them , even though some vessels may have portions flowing toward and portions flowing away from the transducer . This results in the illogical appearance of a vessel being partly a vein and partly an artery . Other laboratories use red to indicate flow toward the transducer and blue away from the transducer . Still other laboratories prefer to display the sonographic Doppler color map more in accord with prior published physics : with the red shift representing longer waves of echoes ( scattered ) from blood flowing away from the transducer ; and with blue representing the shorter waves of echoes reflecting from blood flowing toward the transducer . Because of this confusion and lack of standards in the various laboratories , the sonographer must understand the underlying acoustic physics of color Doppler and the physiology of normal and abnormal blood flow in the human body ( see Red shift ) . Uses ( edit ) Transcranial ( edit ) Main article : Transcranial Doppler Transcranial Doppler insonation of the cerebral circulation Transcranial Doppler ( TCD ) and transcranial color Doppler ( TCCD ) measure the velocity of blood flow through the brain 's blood vessels transcranially ( through the cranium ) . These modes of medical imaging conduct a spectral analysis of the acoustic signals they receive and can therefore be classified as methods of active acoustocerebrography . They are used as tests to help diagnose emboli , stenosis , vasospasm from a subarachnoid hemorrhage ( bleeding from a ruptured aneurysm ) , and other problems . These relatively quick and inexpensive tests are growing in popularity . The tests are effective for detecting sickle cell disease , ischemic cerebrovascular disease , subarachnoid hemorrhage , arteriovenous malformations , and cerebral circulatory arrest . The tests are possibly useful for perioperative monitoring and meningeal infection . The equipment used for these tests is becoming increasingly portable , making it possible for a clinician to travel to a hospital , to a doctor 's office , or to a nursing home for both inpatient and outpatient studies . The tests are often used in conjunction with other tests such as MRI , MRA , carotid duplex ultrasound and CT scans . The tests are also used for research in cognitive neuroscience . Blood vessels ( edit ) Doppler ultrasound showing a deep vein thrombosis , with no flow through the thrombus . Vascular ultrasonography helps determine multiple factors within the circulatory system . It can evaluate central ( abdominal ) and peripheral arteries and veins ; it helps determine the amount of vascular stenosis ( narrowing ) or occlusion ( complete blockage ) within an artery ; it assists in ruling out aneurysmal disease ; and it is the main aid to rule out thrombotic events . Duplex is an inexpensive , non-invasive way to determine pathology . It is used in for example : Carotid ultrasonography Ultrasonography of deep venous thrombosis Ultrasonography of chronic venous insufficiency of the legs Duplex evaluation is usually done prior to any invasive testing or surgical procedure . Ultrasound duplex scanning can provide additional information that may guide therapeutic decisions . The location and severity of arterial narrowings and occlusions can be identified . The vascular sonographer can map disease in lower - extremity segments with great accuracy , though duplex scanning is more time - consuming than other lower - extremity arterial studies . An alternative to Doppler to visualize vessels is B - flow , which digitally highlights weak flow reflectors ( mainly red blood cells ) while suppressing the signals from the surrounding stationary tissue . It can visualize flowing blood and surrounding stationary tissues simultaneously . Kidneys ( edit ) Renal ultrasonography with using duplex technique of a normal adult kidney , with the estimation of the systolic velocity ( Vs ) , the diastolic velocity ( Vd ) , acceleration time ( AoAT ) , systolic acceleration ( Ao Accel ) and resistive index ( RI ) . Red and blue colors in the color box represent flow towards and away from the transducer , respectively . The specrogram below the B - mode image shows flow velocity ( m / s ) against time ( s ) obtained within the range gate . The small flash icons on the spectrogram represent initiation of the flow measurement . Doppler ultrasonography is widely used in renal ultrasonography . Renal vessels are easily depicted by the color Doppler technique in order to evaluate perfusion . Applying spectral Doppler to the renal artery and selected interlobular arteries , peak systolic velocities , resistive index and acceleration curves can be estimated ( Figure 4 ) , e.g. , peak systolic velocity of the renal artery above 180 cm / s is a predictor of renal artery stenosis of more than 60 % , and the resistive index , which is a calculated from peak systolic and end systolic velocity , above 0.70 is indicative of abnormal renovascular resistance . Heart ( edit ) Main article : Doppler echocardiography Doppler echocardiography is the use of Doppler ultrasonography to examine the heart . An echocardiogram can , within certain limits , produce accurate assessment of the direction of blood flow and the velocity of blood and cardiac tissue at any arbitrary point using the Doppler effect . One of the limitations is that the ultrasound beam should be as parallel to the blood flow as possible . Velocity measurements allow assessment of cardiac valve areas and function , any abnormal communications between the left and right side of the heart , any leaking of blood through the valves ( valvular regurgitation ) , calculation of the cardiac output and calculation of E / A ratio ( a measure of diastolic dysfunction ) . Contrast - enhanced ultrasound using gas - filled microbubble contrast media can be used to improve velocity or other flow - related medical measurements . Doppler fetal monitor ( edit ) Doppler fetal monitor Main article : Doppler fetal monitor Doppler fetal monitors , although usually not technically - graphy but rather sound - generating , use the Doppler effect to detect the fetal heartbeat for prenatal care . These are hand - held , and some models also display the heart rate in beats per minute ( BPM ) . Use of this monitor is sometimes known as Doppler auscultation . The Doppler fetal monitor is commonly referred to simply as a Doppler or fetal Doppler . Doppler fetal monitors provide information about the fetus similar to that provided by a fetal stethoscope .

Together with three island territories in the Caribbean ( Bonaire , Sint Eustatius , and Saba ) , it forms a constituent country of the Kingdom of the Netherlands . The European portion of the Netherlands consists of twelve provinces and borders Germany to the east , Belgium to the south , and the North Sea to the northwest , sharing maritime borders in the North Sea with Belgium , the United Kingdom , and Germany . The five largest cities in the Netherlands are Amsterdam , Rotterdam , The Hague , Utrecht ( forming the Randstad megalopolis ) , and Eindhoven ( leading the Brabantse Stedenrij ) . Amsterdam is the country 's capital , while The Hague holds the seat of the States General , Cabinet , and Supreme Court . The Port of Rotterdam is the largest port in Europe and the world 's largest outside Asia . `` Netherlands '' literally means `` lower countries '' , influenced by its low land and flat geography , with only about 50 % of its land exceeding 1 metre ( 3 ft 3 in ) above sea level . Most of the areas below sea level are artificial . Since the late 16th century , large areas ( polders ) have been reclaimed from the sea and lakes , amounting to nearly 17 % of the country 's current land mass . With a population density of 414 people per km -- 510 if water is excluded -- the Netherlands is classified as a very densely populated country . Only Bangladesh , South Korea , and Taiwan have both a larger population and higher population density . Nevertheless , the Netherlands is the world 's second - largest exporter of food and agricultural products , after the United States . This is partly due to the fertility of the soil and the mild climate as well as its highly developed intensive agriculture . The Netherlands was the third country in the world to have elected representatives controlling the government 's actions ; it has been administered as a parliamentary democracy and a constitutional monarchy since 1848 , organised as a unitary state . The Netherlands has a long history of social tolerance and is generally regarded as a liberal country , having legalised abortion , prostitution , and euthanasia , while maintaining a progressive drug policy . The Netherlands abolished the death penalty in 1870 and had women 's suffrage introduced in 1917 . Regarding the LGBT community , it became the world 's first country to legalise same - sex marriage in 2001 . The Netherlands is a founding member of the EU , Eurozone , G10 , NATO , OECD , and WTO , as well as being a part of the Schengen Area and the trilateral Benelux Union . The country is host to the Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons and five international courts : the Permanent Court of Arbitration , the International Court of Justice , the International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia , the International Criminal Court , and the Special Tribunal for Lebanon . The first four are situated in The Hague , as is the EU 's criminal intelligence agency Europol and judicial cooperation agency Eurojust and the United Nations Detention Unit . This has led to the city being dubbed `` the world 's legal capital . '' The country also ranks second highest in the world 's 2016 Press Freedom Index , as published by Reporters Without Borders . The Netherlands has a market - based mixed economy , ranking 17th of 177 countries according to the Index of Economic Freedom . It had the thirteenth - highest per capita income in the world in 2016 according to the IMF . In 2017 , the UN World Happiness Report ranked the Netherlands as the sixth - happiest country in the world , reflecting its high quality of life . The 2018 OECD Better Life Index also ranks the Netherlands first in the world for work -- life balance . The Netherlands has a generous welfare state that provides universal healthcare , good public education , and infrastructure , as well as a wide range of social benefits . That welfare system , combined with its strongly redistributive taxing system , makes the Netherlands one of the most egalitarian countries worldwide . It also ranks joint third highest in the Inequality - adjusted Human Development Index , along with Australia .

There is diversity even within languages . This holds also for English , where Dutch is the adjective form and the misnomer Holland a synonym for the country `` the Netherlands '' . Dutch comes from Theodiscus and in the past centuries , the hub of Dutch culture is found in its most populous region , Holland , home to the capital city of Amsterdam ; government headquarters at The Hague ; and Europe 's largest port Rotterdam . Referring to the Netherlands as Holland in the English language is similar to calling the United Kingdom `` England '' by people outside the UK . The term is so pervasive among potential investors and tourists , however , that the Dutch government 's international websites for tourism and trade are `` holland.com '' and `` hollandtradeandinvest.com '' . The region of Holland consists of North and South Holland , two of the nation 's twelve provinces , formerly a single province , and earlier still , the County of Holland , a remnant of the dissolved Frisian Kingdom . Following the decline of the Duchy of Brabant and the County of Flanders , Holland became the most economically and politically important county in the Low Countries region . The emphasis on Holland during the formation of the Dutch Republic , the Eighty Years ' War and the Anglo - Dutch Wars in the 16th , 17th and 18th century , made Holland serve as a pars pro toto for the entire country , which is now considered either incorrect , informal , or , depending on context , opprobrious . Nonetheless , Holland is widely used in reference to the Netherlands national football team . The region called the Low Countries ( comprising Belgium , the Netherlands and Luxembourg ) and the Country of the Netherlands , have the same toponymy . Place names with Neder ( or lage ) , Nieder , Nether ( or low ) and Nedre ( in Germanic languages ) and Bas or Inferior ( in Romance languages ) are in use in places all over Europe . They are sometimes used in a deictic relation to a higher ground that consecutively is indicated as Upper , Boven , Oben , Superior or Haut . In the case of the Low Countries / the Netherlands the geographical location of the lower region has been more or less downstream and near the sea . The geographical location of the upper region , however , changed over time tremendously , depending on the location of the economic and military power governing the Low Countries area . The Romans made a distinction between the Roman provinces of downstream Germania Inferior ( nowadays part of Belgium and the Netherlands ) and upstream Germania Superior ( nowadays part of Germany ) . The designation ' Low ' to refer to the region returns again in the 10th century Duchy of Lower Lorraine , that covered much of the Low Countries . But this time the corresponding Upper region is Upper Lorraine , in nowadays Northern France . The Dukes of Burgundy , who ruled the Low Countries in the 15th century , used the term les pays de par deçà ( ~ the lands over here ) for the Low Countries as opposed to les pays de par delà ( ~ the lands over there ) for their original homeland : Burgundy in present - day east - central France . Under Habsburg rule , Les pays de par deçà developed in pays d'embas ( lands down - here ) , a deictic expression in relation to other Habsburg possessions like Hungary and Austria . This was translated as Neder - landen in contemporary Dutch official documents . From a regional point of view , Niderlant was also the area between the Meuse and the lower Rhine in the late Middle Ages . The area known as Oberland ( High country ) was in this deictic context considered to begin approximately at the nearby higher located Cologne . From the mid-sixteenth century on , `` the Low Countries '' and `` the Netherlands '' lost their original deictic meaning . They were probably the most commonly used names , besides Flanders , another pars pro toto for the Low Countries , especially in Romance language speaking Europe . The Eighty Years ' War ( 1568 -- 1648 ) divided the Low Countries into an independent northern Dutch Republic ( or Latinised Belgica Foederata , `` Federated Netherlands '' , the precursor state of the Netherlands ) and a Spanish controlled Southern Netherlands ( Latinised Belgica Regia , `` Royal Netherlands '' , the precursor state of Belgium ) . The Low Countries today is a designation that includes the countries the Netherlands , Belgium and Luxembourg , although in most Romance languages , the term `` Low Countries '' is used as the name for the Netherlands specifically . It is used synonymous with the more neutral and geopolitical term Benelux . History ( edit ) Main article : History of the Netherlands Prehistory ( before 800 BC ) ( edit ) Main articles : Paleolithic Europe , Neolithic Europe , and Bronze Age Europe The Netherlands in 5500 BCE . Bronze Age cultures in the Netherlands . Oak figurine found in Willemstad ( 4500 BCE ) . The prehistory of the area that is now the Netherlands was largely shaped by the sea and the rivers that constantly shifted the low - lying geography . The oldest human ( Neanderthal ) traces were found in higher soils , near Maastricht , from what is believed to be about 250,000 years ago . At the end of the Ice Age , the nomadic late Upper Paleolithic Hamburg culture ( c. 13.000 -- 10.000 BC ) hunted reindeer in the area , using spears , but the later Ahrensburg culture ( c. 11.200 -- 9500 BC ) used bow and arrow . From Mesolithic Maglemosian - like tribes ( c. 8000 BC ) the oldest canoe in the world was found in Drenthe . Indigenous late Mesolithic hunter - gatherers from the Swifterbant culture ( c. 5600 BC ) were related to the southern Scandinavian Ertebølle culture and were strongly linked to rivers and open water . Between 4800 and 4500 BC , the Swifterbant people started to copy from the neighbouring Linear Pottery culture the practise of animal husbandry , and between 4300 and 4000 BC the practise of agriculture . To Swifterbant related Funnelbeaker culture ( c. 4300 -- 2800 BC ) erected the dolmens , large stone grave monuments found in Drenthe . There was a quick and smooth transition from the Funnelbeaker farming culture to the pan-European Corded Ware pastoralist culture ( c. 2950 BC ) . Although in the southwest , the Seine - Oise - Marne culture related Vlaardingen culture ( c. 2600 BC ) , an apparently more primitive culture of hunter - gatherers , survived well into the Neolithic period , until it was finally succeeded by the Corded Ware culture as well . Of the subsequent Bell Beaker culture ( 2700 -- 2100 BC ) several regions of origin have been postulated , notably the Iberian peninsula , the Netherlands and Central Europe . They introduced metalwork in copper , gold and later bronze and opened international trade routes not seen before , reflected in the discoveries of copper artifacts , as the metal is not normally found in Dutch soil . The many finds in Drenthe of rare bronze objects , suggest that it was even a trading centre in the Bronze Age ( 2000 -- 800 BC ) . The Bell Beaker culture developed locally into the Barbed - Wire Beaker culture ( 2100 -- 1800 BC ) and later the Elp culture ( c. 1800 -- 800 BC ) , a Middle Bronze Age archaeological culture having earthenware pottery of low quality as a marker . The initial phase of the Elp culture was characterised by tumuli ( 1800 -- 1200 BC ) that were strongly tied to contemporary tumuli in northern Germany and Scandinavia , and were apparently related to the Tumulus culture in central Europe . The subsequent phase was that of cremating the dead and placing their ashes in urns which were then buried in fields , following the customs of the Urnfield culture ( 1200 -- 800 BC ) . The southern region became dominated by the related Hilversum culture ( 1800 -- 800 BC ) , which apparently inherited cultural ties with Britain of the previous Barbed - Wire Beaker culture . Celts , Germanic tribes and Romans ( 800 BC -- 410 AD ) ( edit ) Main articles : Iron Age Europe , Celts , Germanic peoples , and Romans in the Netherlands Diachronic distribution of Celtic people from 500 BC Expansion into the southern Low Countries by 270 BC From 800 BC onwards , the Iron Age Celtic Hallstatt culture became influential , replacing the Hilversum culture . Iron ore brought a measure of prosperity , and was available throughout the country , including bog iron . Smiths travelled from settlement to settlement with bronze and iron , fabricating tools on demand . The King 's grave of Oss ( 700 BC ) was found in a burial mound , the largest of its kind in western Europe and containing an iron sword with an inlay of gold and coral . The deteriorating climate in Scandinavia around 850 BC , that further deteriorated around 650 BC , might have triggered migration of Germanic tribes from the North . By the time this migration was complete , around 250 BC , a few general cultural and linguistic groups had emerged . The North Sea Germanic Ingvaeones inhabited the northern part of the Low Countries . They would later develop into the Frisii and the early Saxons . A second grouping , the Weser - Rhine Germanic ( or Istvaeones ) , extended along the middle Rhine and Weser and inhabited the Low Countries south of the great rivers . This group consisted of tribes that would eventually develop into the Salian Franks . Also the Celtic La Tène culture ( c. 450 BC up to the Roman conquest ) had expanded over a wide range , including the southern area of the Low Countries . Some scholars have speculated that even a third ethnic identity and language , neither Germanic nor Celtic , survived in the Netherlands until the Roman period , the Iron Age Nordwestblock culture , that eventually was being absorbed by the Celts to the south and the Germanic peoples from the east . Rhine Frontier of around 70 AD During the Gallic Wars , the area south and west of the Rhine was conquered by Roman forces under Julius Caesar from 57 BC to 53 BC . Caesar describes two main Celtic tribes living in what is now the southern Netherlands : the Menapii and the Eburones . The Rhine became fixed as Rome 's northern frontier around 12 AD . Notable towns would arise along the Limes Germanicus : Nijmegen and Voorburg . At first part of Gallia Belgica , the area south of the Limes became part of the Roman province of Germania Inferior . The area to the north of the Rhine , inhabited by the Frisii , remained outside Roman rule ( but not its presence and control ) , while the Germanic border tribes of the Batavi and Cananefates served in the Roman cavalry . The Batavi rose against the Romans in the Batavian rebellion of 69 AD , but were eventually defeated . The Batavi later merged with other tribes into the confederation of the Salian Franks , whose identity emerged at the first half of the third century . Salian Franks appear in Roman texts as both allies and enemies . They were forced by the confederation of the Saxons from the east to move over the Rhine into Roman territory in the fourth century . From their new base in West Flanders and the Southwest Netherlands , they were raiding the English Channel . Roman forces pacified the region , but did not expel the Franks , who continued to be feared at least until the time of Julian the Apostate ( 358 ) , when Salian Franks were allowed to settle as foederati in Toxandria . After deteriorating climate conditions and the Romans withdrawal , the Frisii disappeared from the northern Netherlands , probably forced to resettle within Roman territory as laeti in c. 296 . Coastal lands remained largely unpopulated for the next two centuries . Early Middle ages ( 411 -- 1000 ) ( edit ) Main articles : Frankish Kingdom and Frisian Kingdom Franks , Frisians and Saxons ( 710s AD ) After Roman government in the area collapsed , the Franks expanded their territories in numerous kingdoms . By the 490s , Clovis I had conquered and united all these territories in the southern Netherlands in one Frankish kingdom , and from there continued his conquests into Gaul . During this expansion , Franks migrating to the south eventually adopted the Vulgar Latin of the local population . A widening cultural divide grew with the Franks remaining in their original homeland in the north ( i.e. southern Netherlands and Flanders ) , who kept on speaking Old Frankish , which by the ninth century had evolved into Old Low Franconian or Old Dutch . A Dutch - French language boundary came into existence . Frankish expansion ( 481 to 870 AD ) To the north of the Franks , climatic conditions on the coast improved , and during the Migration Period the abandoned land was resettled again , mostly by Saxons , but also by the closely related Angles , Jutes and ancient Frisii . Many moved on to England and came to be known as Anglo - Saxons , but those who stayed would be referred to as Frisians and their language as Frisian , named after the land that was once inhabited by Frisii . Frisian was spoken along the entire southern North Sea coast , and it is still the language most closely related to English among the living languages of continental Europe . By the seventh century a Frisian Kingdom ( 650 -- 734 ) under King Aldegisel and King Redbad emerged with Utrecht as its centre of power , while Dorestad was a flourishing trading place . Between 600 and around 719 the cities were often fought over between the Frisians and the Franks . In 734 , at the Battle of the Boarn , the Frisians were defeated after a series of wars . With the approval of the Franks , the Anglo - Saxon missionary Willibrord converted the Frisian people to Christianity . He established the Archdiocese of Utrecht and became bishop of the Frisians . However , his successor Boniface was murdered by the Frisians in Dokkum , in 754 . Rorik of Dorestad , Viking ruler of Friesland ( romantic 1912 depiction ) Lotharingia after 959 with the language border dotted in red The Frankish Carolingian empire modeled itself after the Roman Empire and controlled much of Western Europe . However , as of 843 , it was divided into three parts -- East , Middle , and West Francia . Most of present - day Netherlands became part of Middle Francia , which was a weak kingdom and subject of numerous partitions and annexation attempts by its stronger neighbours . It comprised territories from Frisia in the north to the Kingdom of Italy in the south . Around 850 , Lothair I of Middle Francia acknowledged the Viking Rorik of Dorestad as ruler of most of Frisia . When the kingdom of Middle Francia was partitioned in 855 , the lands north of the Alps passed to Lothair II and consecutively were named Lotharingia . After he died in 869 , Lotharingia was partitioned , into Upper and Lower Lotharingia , the latter part comprising the Low Countries that technically became part of East Francia in 870 , although it was effectively under the control of Vikings , who raided the largely defenceless Frisian and Frankish towns lying on the Frisian coast and along the rivers . Around 879 , another Viking raided the Frisian lands , Godfrid , Duke of Frisia . The Viking raids made the sway of French and German lords in the area weak . Resistance to the Vikings , if any , came from local nobles , who gained in stature as a result , and that lay the basis for the disintegration of Lower Lotharingia into semi-independent states . One of these local nobles was Gerolf of Holland , who assumed lordship in Frisia after he helped to assassinate Godfrid , and Viking rule came to an end . High Middle ages ( 1000 -- 1384 ) ( edit ) Main article : History of urban centers in the Low Countries The Holy Roman Empire ( the successor state of East Francia and then Lotharingia ) ruled much of the Low Countries in the 10th and 11th century , but was not able to maintain political unity . Powerful local nobles turned their cities , counties and duchies into private kingdoms , that felt little sense of obligation to the emperor . Holland , Hainaut , Flanders , Gelre , Brabant , and Utrecht were in a state of almost continual war or paradoxically formed personal unions . The language and culture of most of the people who lived in the County of Holland were originally Frisian . As Frankish settlement progressed from Flanders and Brabant , the area quickly became Old Low Franconian ( or Old Dutch ) . The rest of Frisia in the north ( now Friesland and Groningen ) continued to maintain its independence and had its own institutions ( collectively called the `` Frisian freedom '' ) and resented the imposition of the feudal system . Around 1000 AD , due to several agricultural developments , the economy started to develop at a fast pace , and the higher productivity allowed workers to farm more land or to become tradesmen . Towns grew around monasteries and castles , and a mercantile middle class began to develop in these urban areas , especially in Flanders and later also Brabant . Wealthy cities started to buy certain privileges for themselves from the sovereign . In practice , this meant that Brugge and Antwerp became quasi-independent republics in their own right and would later develop into some of the most important cities and ports in Europe . Around 1100 AD , farmers from Flanders and Utrecht began draining and cultivating uninhabited swampy land in the western Netherlands , and made the emergence of the County of Holland as center of power possible . The title of Count of Holland were fought over in the Hook and Cod Wars ( Dutch : Hoekse en Kabeljauwse twisten ) between 1350 and 1490 . The Cod faction consisted of the more progressive cities , while the Hook faction consisted of the conservative noblemen . These noblemen invited the Duke Philip the Good of Burgundy -- who was also Count of Flanders -- to conquer Holland . Burgundian and ( Spanish ) Habsburg Netherlands ( 1384 -- 1581 ) ( edit ) Main articles : Burgundian Netherlands , Habsburg Netherlands , and Spanish Netherlands Spanish Netherlands The Four Days ' Battle , 1 -- 4 June 1666 ( Second Anglo -- Dutch War ) by Pieter Cornelisz van Soest . The Low Countries in the late 14th century . William I , Prince of Orange ( William the Silent ) , leader of the Dutch Revolt . Most of the Imperial and French fiefs in what is now the Netherlands and Belgium were united in a personal union by Philip the Good , duke of Burgundy in 1433 . The House of Valois - Burgundy and their Habsburg heirs would rule the Low Countries in the period from 1384 to 1581 . Before the Burgundian union , the Dutch identified themselves by the town they lived in or their local duchy or county . The Burgundian period is when the road to nationhood began . The new rulers defended Dutch trading interests , which then developed rapidly . The fleets of the County of Holland defeated the fleets of the Hanseatic League several times . Amsterdam grew and in the 15th century became the primary trading port in Europe for grain from the Baltic region . Amsterdam distributed grain to the major cities of Belgium , Northern France and England . This trade was vital , because Holland could no longer produce enough grain to feed itself . Land drainage had caused the peat of the former wetlands to reduce to a level that was too low for drainage to be maintained . Under Habsburg Charles V , ruler of the Holy Roman Empire and King of Spain , all fiefs in the current Netherlands region were united into the Seventeen Provinces , which also included most of present - day Belgium , Luxembourg , and some adjacent land in what is now France and Germany . In 1568 , the Eighty Years ' War between the Provinces and their Spanish ruler began . The level of ferocity exhibited by both sides can be gleaned from a Dutch chronicler 's report : On more than one occasion men were seen hanging their own brothers , who had been taken prisoners in the enemy 's ranks ... A Spaniard had ceased to be human in their eyes . On one occasion , a surgeon at Veer cut the heart from a Spanish prisoner , nailed it on a vessel 's prow , and invited the townsmen to come and fasten their teeth in it , which many did with savage satisfaction . In November and December 1572 , all the citizens of Zutphen and Naarden were slaughtered by the Spanish . From 11 December that year the city of Haarlem was besieged , holding out for seven months until 13 July 1573 . Oudewater was conquered by the Spanish on 7 August 1575 , and most of its inhabitants were killed . Maastricht was besieged , sacked and destroyed twice in succession ( in 1576 and 1579 ) by the Spanish . In 1579 , the northern half of the Seventeen Provinces forged the Union of Utrecht in which they committed to support each other in their defence against the Spanish army . The Union of Utrecht is seen as the foundation of the modern Netherlands . In 1581 , the northern provinces adopted the Act of Abjuration , the declaration of independence in which the provinces officially deposed Philip II of Spain as reigning monarch in the northern provinces . The Protestant Queen Elizabeth I of England sympathised with the Dutch struggle against the Spanish , and sent an army of 7,600 soldiers to aid the Dutch in their war with the Catholic Spanish . The English army under command of Robert Dudley , 1st Earl of Leicester was of no real benefit to the Dutch rebellion . Philip II , the son of Charles V , was not prepared to let them go easily , and war continued until 1648 , when Spain under King Philip IV finally recognised the independence of the seven north - western provinces in the Peace of Münster . Parts of the southern provinces became de facto colonies of the new republican - mercantile empire . Dutch Republic ( 1581 -- 1795 ) ( edit ) Main articles : Dutch Republic and Evolution of the Dutch Empire After declaring their independence , the provinces of Holland , Zeeland , Groningen , Friesland , Utrecht , Overijssel , and Gelderland formed a confederation . All these duchies , lordships and counties were autonomous and had their own government , the States - Provincial . The States General , the confederal government , were seated in The Hague and consisted of representatives from each of the seven provinces . The sparsely populated region of Drenthe was part of the republic too , although it was not considered one of the provinces . Moreover , the Republic had come to occupy during the Eighty Years ' War a number of so - called Generality Lands in Flanders , Brabant and Limburg . Their population was mainly Roman Catholic , and these areas did not have a governmental structure of their own , and were used as a buffer zone between the Republic and the Spanish - controlled Southern Netherlands . Winter landscape with skaters near the city of Kampen by Hendrick Avercamp ( 1620s ) Amsterdam 's Dam Square in 1656 In the Dutch Golden Age , spanning much of the 17th century , the Dutch Empire grew to become one of the major seafaring and economic powers , alongside Portugal , Spain , France and England . Science , military , and art ( especially painting ) were among the most acclaimed in the world . By 1650 , the Dutch owned 16,000 merchant ships . The Dutch East India Company and the Dutch West India Company established colonies and trading posts all over the world , including ruling the northern parts of Taiwan between 1624 -- 1662 and 1664 -- 1667 . The Dutch settlement in North America began with the founding of New Amsterdam on the southern part of Manhattan in 1614 . In South Africa , the Dutch settled the Cape Colony in 1652 . Dutch colonies in South America were established along the many rivers in the fertile Guyana plains , among them Colony of Surinam ( now Suriname ) . In Asia , the Dutch established the Dutch East Indies ( now Indonesia ) , and the only western trading post in Japan , Dejima . Many economic historians regard the Netherlands as the first thoroughly capitalist country in the world . In early modern Europe it had the wealthiest trading city ( Amsterdam ) and the first full - time stock exchange . The inventiveness of the traders led to insurance and retirement funds as well as phenomena such as the boom - bust cycle , the world 's first asset - inflation bubble , the tulip mania of 1636 -- 1637 , and the world 's first bear raider , Isaac le Maire , who forced prices down by dumping stock and then buying it back at a discount . In 1672 -- known in Dutch history as the Rampjaar ( Disaster Year ) -- the Dutch Republic was at war with France , England and three German Bishoprics simultaneously . At sea it could successfully prevent the English and French navy entering the western shores . On land , however , it was almost taken over internally by the advancing French and German armies coming from the east . It managed to turn the tide by inundating parts of Holland , but could never recover to its former glory again and went into a state of general decline in the 18th century , with economic competition from England and long - standing rivalries between the two main factions in Dutch society , the republican Staatsgezinden and the supporters of the stadtholder the Prinsgezinden , as main political factions . Batavian Republic and Kingdom ( 1795 -- 1890 ) ( edit ) Main articles : Batavian Republic , Kingdom of Holland , United Kingdom of the Netherlands , and Kingdom of the Netherlands With the armed support of revolutionary France , Dutch republicans proclaimed the Batavian Republic , modelled after the French Republic and rendering the Netherlands a unitary state on 19 January 1795 . The stadtholder William V of Orange had fled to England . But from 1806 to 1810 , the Kingdom of Holland was set up by Napoleon Bonaparte as a puppet kingdom governed by his brother Louis Bonaparte to control the Netherlands more effectively . However , King Louis Bonaparte tried to serve Dutch interests instead of his brother 's , and he was forced to abdicate on 1 July 1810 . The Emperor sent in an army and the Netherlands became part of the French Empire until the autumn of 1813 , when Napoleon was defeated in the Battle of Leipzig . A map of the Dutch colonial empire . Light green : territories administered by or originating from territories administered by the Dutch East India Company ; dark green : the Dutch West India Company . In yellow the territories occupied later , during the 19th century . William Frederick , son of the last stadtholder , returned to the Netherlands in 1813 and proclaimed himself Sovereign Prince of the Netherlands . Two years later , the Congress of Vienna added the southern Netherlands to the north to create a strong country on the northern border of France . William Frederick raised this United Netherlands to the status of a kingdom and proclaimed himself King William I. In addition , William became hereditary Grand Duke of Luxembourg in exchange for his German possessions . However , the Southern Netherlands had been culturally separate from the north since 1581 , and rebelled . The south gained independence in 1830 as Belgium ( recognised by the Northern Netherlands in 1839 as the Kingdom of the Netherlands was created by decree ) , while the personal union between Luxembourg and the Netherlands was severed in 1890 , when William III died with no surviving male heirs . Ascendancy laws prevented his daughter Queen Wilhelmina from becoming the next Grand Duchess . The submission of Diponegoro to General De Kock at the end of the Java War in 1830 ; painting by Nicolaas Pieneman The Belgian Revolution at home and the Java War in the Dutch East Indies brought the Netherlands to the brink of bankruptcy . However , the Cultivation System was introduced in 1830 ; in the Dutch East Indies , 20 % of village land had to be devoted to government crops for export . The policy brought the Dutch enormous wealth and made the colony self - sufficient . On the other hand , the colonies in the West Indies ( Dutch Guiana and Curaçao and Dependencies ) , relied heavily on African slaves in which the Dutch part is estimated at 5 -- 7 percent , or more than half a million Africans . The Netherlands abolished slavery in 1863 . Furthermore , slaves in Suriname would be fully free only in 1873 , since the law stipulated that there was to be a mandatory 10 - year transition . The Dutch were also one of the last European countries to industrialise , in the second half of the 19th century . World Wars and beyond ( 1890 -- present ) ( edit ) Main articles : History of the Netherlands ( 1900 -- present ) , The Netherlands in World War I , and Netherlands in World War II Rotterdam after German air raids in 1940 The Netherlands were able to remain neutral during World War I , in part because the import of goods through the Netherlands proved essential to German survival , until the blockade by the British Royal Navy in 1916 . That changed in World War II , when Nazi Germany invaded the Netherlands on 10 May 1940 . The Rotterdam Blitz forced the main element of the Dutch army to surrender four days later . During the occupation , over 100,000 Dutch Jews were rounded up and transported to Nazi extermination camps ; only a few of them survived . Dutch workers were conscripted for forced labour in Germany , civilians who resisted were killed in reprisal for attacks on German soldiers , and the countryside was plundered for food . Although there were thousands of Dutch who risked their lives by hiding Jews from the Germans , over 20,000 Dutch fascists joined the Waffen SS , fighting on the Eastern Front . Political collaborators were members of the fascist NSB , the only legal political party in the occupied Netherlands . On 8 December 1941 , the Dutch government - in - exile in London declared war on Japan , but could not prevent the Japanese occupation of the Dutch East Indies ( Indonesia ) . In 1944 -- 45 , the First Canadian Army , which included Canadian , British and Polish troops , was responsible for liberating much of the Netherlands . Soon after VE Day , the Dutch fought a colonial war against the new Republic of Indonesia . Former Prime Ministers Wim Kok , Dries van Agt , Piet de Jong , Ruud Lubbers and Jan Peter Balkenende with Prime Minister Mark Rutte , in 2011 In 1954 , the Charter for the Kingdom of the Netherlands reformed the political structure of the Netherlands , which was a result of international pressure to carry out decolonisation . The Dutch colonies of Surinam and Curaçao and Dependencies and the European country all became countries within the Kingdom , on a basis of equality . Indonesia had declared its independence in August 1945 ( recognised in 1949 ) , and thus was never part of the reformed Kingdom . Suriname followed in 1975 . After the war the Netherlands left behind an era of neutrality and gained closer ties with neighboring states . The Netherlands was one of the founding members of the Benelux , the NATO , Euratom and the European Coal and Steel Community , which would evolve into the EEC ( Common Market ) and later the European Union . Government - encouraged emigration efforts to reduce population density prompted some 500,000 Dutch people to leave the country after the war . The 1960s and 1970s were a time of great social and cultural change , such as rapid ontzuiling ( end of pillarisation ) , a term that describes the decay of the old divisions along political and religious lines . Youths , and students in particular , rejected traditional mores and pushed for change in matters such as women 's rights , sexuality , disarmament and environmental issues . In 2002 , the euro was introduced as fiat money and in 2010 , the Netherlands Antilles was dissolved . Referendums were held on each island to determine their future status . As a result , the islands of Bonaire , Sint Eustatius and Saba ( the BES islands ) were to obtain closer ties with the Netherlands . This led to the incorporation of these three islands into the country of the Netherlands as special municipalities upon the dissolution of the Netherlands Antilles . The special municipalities are collectively known as the Caribbean Netherlands . Geography ( edit ) Main article : Geography of the Netherlands See also : Low Countries A relief map of the European Netherlands According to the Central Bureau of Statistics , the European Netherlands has a total land area of 41,528 km , including non-tidal water bodies . It lies between latitudes 50 ° and 54 ° N , and longitudes 3 ° and 8 ° E . The Netherlands is geographically a very low and flat country , with about 26 % of its area and 21 % of its population located below sea level , and only about 50 % of its land exceeding one metre above sea level . The European part of the country is for the most part flat , with the exception of foothills in the far southeast , up to a height of no more than 321 metres , and some low hill ranges in the central parts . Most of the areas below sea level are man - made , caused by peat extraction or achieved through land reclamation . Since the late 16th century , large polder areas are preserved through elaborate drainage systems that include dikes , canals and pumping stations . Nearly 17 % of the country 's land area is reclaimed from the sea and from lakes . Much of the country was originally formed by the estuaries of three large European rivers : the Rhine ( Rijn ) , the Meuse ( Maas ) and the Scheldt ( Schelde ) , as well as their tributaries . The south - western part of the Netherlands is to this day a river delta of these three rivers , the Rhine - Meuse - Scheldt delta . The European Netherlands is divided into north and south parts by the Rhine , the Waal , its main tributary branch , and the Meuse . In the past these rivers functioned as a natural barrier between fiefdoms and hence historically created a cultural divide , as is evident in some phonetic traits that are recognisable on either side of what the Dutch call their `` Great Rivers '' ( de Grote Rivieren ) . Another significant branch of the Rhine , the IJssel river , discharges into Lake IJssel , the former Zuiderzee ( ' southern sea ' ) . Just like the previous , this river forms a linguistic divide : people to the northeast of this river speak Dutch Low Saxon dialects ( except for the province of Friesland , which has its own language ) . Floods ( edit ) Main articles : Flood control in the Netherlands , Floods in the Netherlands , North Sea flood of 1953 , and Storm tides of the North Sea The Christmas flood of 1717 was the result of a northwesterly storm . In total , approximately 14,000 people drowned . Over the centuries , the Dutch coastline has changed considerably as a result of natural disasters and human intervention . Most notable in terms of land loss was the storm of 1134 , which created the archipelago of Zeeland in the south - west . On 14 December 1287 , St. Lucia 's flood affected the Netherlands and Germany , killing more than 50,000 people in one of the most destructive floods in recorded history . The St. Elizabeth flood of 1421 and the mismanagement in its aftermath destroyed a newly reclaimed polder , replacing it with the 72 - square - kilometre ( 28 sq mi ) Biesbosch tidal floodplains in the south - centre . The huge North Sea flood of early February 1953 caused the collapse of several dikes in the south - west of the Netherlands ; more than 1,800 people drowned in the flood . The Dutch government subsequently instituted a large - scale programme , the `` Delta Works '' , to protect the country against future flooding , which was completed over a period of more than thirty years . Map illustrating European areas of the Netherlands below sea level The impact of disasters was to an extent increased through human activity . Relatively high - lying swampland was drained to be used as farmland . The drainage caused the fertile peat to contract and ground levels to drop , upon which groundwater levels were lowered to compensate for the drop in ground level , causing the underlying peat to contract further . Additionally , until the 19th century peat was mined , dried , and used for fuel , further exacerbating the problem . Centuries of extensive and poorly controlled peat extraction lowered an already low land surface by several metres . Even in flooded areas , peat extraction continued through turf dredging . Zaanse Schans , a touristic Dutch village built in an aquatic area Because of the flooding , farming was difficult , which encouraged foreign trade , the result of which was that the Dutch were involved in world affairs since the early 14th / 15th century . A polder at 5.53 metres below sea level To guard against floods , a series of defences against the water were contrived . In the first millennium AD , villages and farmhouses were built on man - made hills called terps . Later , these terps were connected by dikes . In the 12th century , local government agencies called `` waterschappen '' ( `` water boards '' ) or `` hoogheemraadschappen '' ( `` high home councils '' ) started to appear , whose job it was to maintain the water level and to protect a region from floods ; these agencies continue to exist . As the ground level dropped , the dikes by necessity grew and merged into an integrated system . By the 13th century windmills had come into use to pump water out of areas below sea level . The windmills were later used to drain lakes , creating the famous polders . In 1932 the Afsluitdijk ( `` Closure Dike '' ) was completed , blocking the former Zuiderzee ( Southern Sea ) from the North Sea and thus creating the IJsselmeer ( IJssel Lake ) . It became part of the larger Zuiderzee Works in which four polders totalling 2,500 square kilometres ( 965 sq mi ) were reclaimed from the sea . The Netherlands is one of the countries that may suffer most from climate change . Not only is the rising sea a problem , but erratic weather patterns may cause the rivers to overflow . Delta Works ( edit ) Main articles : Delta Works and Flood control in the Netherlands The Delta Works are located in the provinces of South Holland and Zeeland . After the 1953 disaster , the Delta Works were constructed , a comprehensive set of civil works throughout the Dutch coast . The project started in 1958 and was largely completed in 1997 with the completion of the Maeslantkering . New projects have been periodically started since to renovate and renew the Delta Works . A main goal of the Delta project was to reduce the risk of flooding in South Holland and Zeeland to once per 10,000 years ( compared to 1 per 4000 years for the rest of the country ) . This was achieved by raising 3,000 kilometres ( 1,864 mi ) of outer sea - dikes and 10,000 kilometres ( 6,214 mi ) of inner , canal , and river dikes , and by closing off the sea estuaries of the Zeeland province . New risk assessments occasionally show problems requiring additional Delta project dike reinforcements . The Delta project is considered by the American Society of Civil Engineers as one of the seven wonders of the modern world . The Haringvlietdam , completed in 1971 It is anticipated that global warming in the 21st century will result in a rise in sea level . The Netherlands is actively preparing for a sea level rise . A politically neutral Delta Commission has formulated an action plan to cope with a sea level rise of 1.10 metres ( 3.6 ft ) and a simultaneous land height decline of 10 centimetres ( 3.9 in ) . The plan encompasses the reinforcement of the existing coastal defenses like dikes and dunes with 1.30 metres ( 4.3 ft ) of additional flood protection . Climate change will not only threaten the Netherlands from the sea side , but could also alter rain fall patterns and river run - off . To protect the country from river flooding , another program is already being executed . The Room for the River plan grants more flow space to rivers , protects the major populated areas and allows for periodic flooding of indefensible lands . The few residents who lived in these so - called `` overflow areas '' have been moved to higher ground , with some of that ground having been raised above anticipated flood levels . Climate ( edit ) The predominant wind direction in the European Netherlands is southwest , which causes a moderate maritime climate , with warm summers and cool winters , and typically high humidity . This is especially true close to the Dutch coastline , where the difference in temperature between summer and winter , as well as between day and night is noticeably smaller than it is in the southeast of the country . The following tables are based on mean measurements by the KNMI weather station in De Bilt between 1981 and 2010 : ( hide ) Climate data for De Bilt ( 1981 -- 2010 averages ) , all KNMI locations ( 1901 -- 2011 extremes ) , snowy days : ( 1971 -- 2000 averages ) .

Freezing days -- minimum temperature below 0 ° C ( 32 ° F ) -- occur much more often , usually ranging from mid-November to late March , but not rarely measured as early as mid-October and as late as mid-May . If one chooses the height of measurement to be 10 cm ( 4 in ) above ground instead of 150 cm ( 59 in ) , one may even find such temperatures in the middle of the summer . On average , snow can occur from November to April , but sometimes occurs in May or October too . Workum , Friesland Warm days -- maximum temperature above 20 ° C ( 68 ° F ) -- are usually found in April to October , but in some parts of the country these warm days can also occur in March , or even sometimes in November or February ( usually not in De Bilt , however ) . Summer days -- maximum temperature above 25 ° C ( 77 ° F ) -- are usually measured in De Bilt from May until September , tropical days -- maximum temperature above 30 ° C ( 86 ° F ) -- are rare and usually occur only in June to August . Precipitation throughout the year is distributed relatively equally each month . Summer and autumn months tend to gather a little more precipitation than the other months , mainly because of the intensity of the rainfall rather than the frequency of rain days ( this is especially the case in summer , when lightning is also much more frequent ) . Lisse , South Holland The number of sunshine hours is affected by the fact that because of the geographical latitude , the length of the days varies between barely eight hours in December and nearly 17 hours in June . Nature ( edit ) Further information : List of national parks of the Netherlands and List of extinct animals of the Netherlands The Netherlands has 20 national parks and hundreds of other nature reserves , that include lakes , heathland , woods , dunes and other habitats . Most of these are owned by Staatsbosbeheer , the national department for forestry and nature conservation and Natuurmonumenten ( literally ' Natures monuments ' ) , a private organisation that buys , protects and manages nature reserves . The Dutch part of the Wadden Sea in the north , with its tidal flats and wetlands , is rich in biological diversity , and was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Nature Site in 2009 . Common seals on Terschelling , a Wadden Sea island The Oosterschelde , formerly the northeast estuary of the river Scheldt was designated a national park in 2002 , thereby making it the largest national park in the Netherlands at an area of 370 square kilometres ( 140 sq mi ) . It consists primarily of the salt waters of the Oosterschelde , but also includes mud flats , meadows , and shoals . Because of the large variety of sea life , including unique regional species , the park is popular with Scuba divers . Other activities include sailing , fishing , cycling , and bird watching . Phytogeographically , the European Netherlands is shared between the Atlantic European and Central European provinces of the Circumboreal Region within the Boreal Kingdom . According to the World Wide Fund for Nature , the European territory of the Netherlands belongs to the ecoregion of Atlantic mixed forests . In 1871 , the last old original natural woods were cut down , and most woods today are planted monocultures of trees like Scots pine and trees that are not native to the Netherlands . These woods were planted on anthropogenic heaths and sand - drifts ( overgrazed heaths ) ( Veluwe ) . Caribbean islands ( edit ) Main articles : Bonaire , Saba , and Sint Eustatius While Curaçao , Aruba and Sint Maarten have a constituent country status , the Caribbean Netherlands are three islands designated as special municipalities of the Netherlands . The islands are part of the Lesser Antilles and have maritime borders with France ( Saint Barthélemy and Saint Martin ) , the United Kingdom ( Anguilla ) , Venezuela , Saint Kitts and Nevis and the United States ( U.S. Virgin Islands ) . Underwater life of Klein Bonaire Within this island group : Bonaire is part of the ABC islands within the Leeward Antilles island chain off the Venezuelan coast . The Leeward Antilles have a mixed volcanic and coral origin . Saba and Sint Eustatius are part of the SSS islands . They are located east of Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands . Although in the English language they are considered part of the Leeward Islands , French , Spanish , Dutch and the English spoken locally consider them part of the Windward Islands . The Windward Islands are all of volcanic origin and hilly , leaving little ground suitable for agriculture . The highest point is Mount Scenery , 887 metres ( 2,910 ft ) , on Saba . This is the highest point in the country , and is also the highest point of the entire Kingdom of the Netherlands . The islands of the Caribbean Netherlands enjoy a tropical climate with warm weather all year round . The Leeward Antilles are warmer and drier than the Windward islands . In summer , the Windward Islands can be subject to hurricanes . Politics ( edit ) The Binnenhof , where the lower and upper houses of the States General meet The Netherlands has been a constitutional monarchy since 1815 , and due to the efforts of Johan Rudolph Thorbecke , a parliamentary democracy since 1848 . The Netherlands is described as a consociational state . Dutch politics and governance are characterised by an effort to achieve broad consensus on important issues , within both the political community and society as a whole . In 2010 , The Economist ranked the Netherlands as the 10th most democratic country in the world . The monarch is the head of state , at present King Willem - Alexander of the Netherlands . Constitutionally , the position is equipped with limited powers . By law , the King has the right to be periodically briefed and consulted on government affairs . Depending on the personalities and relationships of the King and the ministers , the monarch might have influence beyond the power granted by the Constitution of the Netherlands . Willem - Alexander , King of the Netherlands since April 2013 Mark Rutte , Prime Minister of the Netherlands since October 2010 The executive power is formed by the Council of Ministers , the deliberative organ of the Dutch cabinet . The cabinet usually consists of 13 to 16 ministers and a varying number of state secretaries . One to three ministers are ministers without portfolio . The head of government is the Prime Minister of the Netherlands , who often is the leader of the largest party of the coalition . The Prime Minister is a primus inter pares , with no explicit powers beyond those of the other ministers . Mark Rutte has been Prime Minister since October 2010 ; the Prime Minister had been the leader of the largest party continuously since 1973 . The cabinet is responsible to the bicameral parliament , the States General , which also has legislative powers . The 150 members of the House of Representatives , the lower house , are elected in direct elections on the basis of party - list proportional representation . These are held every four years , or sooner in case the cabinet falls ( for example : when one of the chambers carries a motion of no confidence , the cabinet offers its resignation to the monarch ) . The States - Provincial are directly elected every four years as well . The members of the provincial assemblies elect the 75 members of the Senate , the upper house , which has the power to reject laws , but not propose or amend them . Both houses send members to the Benelux Parliament , a consultative council . Political culture ( edit ) Both trade unions and employers organisations are consulted beforehand in policymaking in the financial , economic and social areas . They meet regularly with government in the Social - Economic Council . This body advises government and its advice can not be put aside easily . The Netherlands has a long tradition of social tolerance . In the 18th century , while the Dutch Reformed Church was the state religion , Catholicism , other forms of Protestantism , such as Baptists and Lutherans , and Judaism were tolerated but discriminated against . In the late 19th century this Dutch tradition of religious tolerance transformed into a system of pillarisation , in which religious groups coexisted separately and only interacted at the level of government . This tradition of tolerance influences Dutch criminal justice policies on recreational drugs , prostitution , LGBT rights , euthanasia , and abortion , which are among the most liberal in the world . Political parties ( edit ) Main articles : Political parties of the Netherlands and Politics of the Netherlands The Netherlands has a culture of respectful and friendly debate ; here ( from left to right ) members of the House of Representatives Sander de Rouwe ( CDA ) , Ineke van Gent ( GL ) , Han ten Broeke ( VVD ) , Kees Verhoeven ( D66 ) and Farshad Bashir ( SP ) , 2010 Because of the multi-party system , no single party has held a majority in parliament since the 19th century , and coalition cabinets had to be formed . Since suffrage became universal in 1917 , the Dutch political system has been dominated by three families of political parties : the strongest of which were the Christian Democrats , currently represented by the Christian Democratic Appeal ( CDA ) ; second were the Social Democrats , represented by the Labour Party ( PvdA ) ; and third were the Liberals , of which the right - wing People 's Party for Freedom and Democracy ( VVD ) is the main representative . These parties co-operated in coalition cabinets in which the Christian Democrats had always been a partner : so either a centre - left coalition of the Christian Democrats and Social Democrats was ruling or a centre - right coalition of Christian Democrats and Liberals . In the 1970s , the party system became more volatile : the Christian Democratic parties lost seats , while new parties became successful , such as the radical democrat and progressive liberal Democrats 66 ( D66 ) or the ecologist party GroenLinks ( GL ) . In the 1994 election , the CDA lost its dominant position . A `` purple '' cabinet was formed by the VVD , D66 , and PvdA . In the 2002 elections , this cabinet lost its majority , because of an increased support for the CDA and the rise of the right LPF , a new political party , around Pim Fortuyn , who was assassinated a week before the elections . A short - lived cabinet was formed by CDA , VVD , and LPF , which was led by the CDA Leader Jan Peter Balkenende . After the 2003 elections , in which the LPF lost most of its seats , a cabinet was formed by the CDA , VVD , and D66 . The cabinet initiated an ambitious programme of reforming the welfare state , the healthcare system , and immigration policy . In June 2006 , the cabinet fell after D66 voted in favour of a motion of no confidence against the Minister of Immigration and Integration , Rita Verdonk , who had instigated an investigation of the asylum procedure of Ayaan Hirsi Ali , a VVD MP . A caretaker cabinet was formed by the CDA and VVD , and general elections were held on 22 November 2006 . In these elections , the CDA remained the largest party and the Socialist Party made the largest gains . The formation of a new cabinet took three months , resulting in a coalition of CDA , PvdA , and Christian Union . On 20 February 2010 , the cabinet fell when the PvdA refused to prolong the involvement of the Dutch Army in Uruzgan , Afghanistan . Snap elections were held on 9 June 2010 , with devastating results for the previously largest party , the CDA , which lost about half of its seats , resulting in 21 seats . The VVD became the largest party with 31 seats , closely followed by the PvdA with 30 seats . The big winner of the 2010 elections was Geert Wilders , whose right wing PVV , the ideological successor to the LPF , more than doubled its number of seats . Negotiation talks for a new government resulted in a minority government , led by VVD ( a first ) in coalition with CDA , which was sworn in on 14 October 2010 . This unprecedented minority government was supported by PVV , but proved ultimately to be unstable , when on 21 April 2012 , Wilders , leader of PVV , unexpectedly ' torpedoed seven weeks of austerity talks ' on new austerity measures , paving the way for early elections . VVD and PvdA won a majority in the House of Representatives during the 2012 general election . On 5 November 2012 they formed the second Rutte cabinet . After the 2017 general election , VVD , Christian Democratic Appeal , Democrats 66 and ChristenUnie formed the third Rutte cabinet . Government ( edit ) Main article : Government of the Netherlands Administrative divisions ( edit ) Main articles : Provinces of the Netherlands , Municipalities of the Netherlands , Water board ( Netherlands ) , and Public body ( Netherlands ) Provinces and special municipalities of the Netherlands The Netherlands is divided into twelve provinces , each under a King 's Commissioner ( Commissaris van de Koning ) , except for Limburg province where the position is named Governor ( Gouverneur ) but has the same tasks . All provinces are divided into municipalities ( gemeenten ) , of which there are 388 ( 2017 ) . The country is also subdivided into 24 water districts , governed by a water board ( waterschap or hoogheemraadschap ) , each having authority in matters concerning water management . The creation of water boards actually pre-dates that of the nation itself , the first appearing in 1196 . The Dutch water boards are among the oldest democratic entities in the world still in existence . Direct elections of the water boards take place every 4 years . The administrative structure on the 3 BES islands , collectively known as the Caribbean Netherlands , is different . These islands have the status of openbare lichamen ( public bodies ) rather than municipalities and as administrative units are generally referred to as special municipalities . They are not part of a province . The Netherlands has several Belgian exclaves and within those even several enclaves which are still part of the province of North Brabant . Because the Netherlands and Belgium are both in the Schengen Area , citizens of respective countries can travel through these enclaves .

Since World War II , the Netherlands has become a member of a large number of international organisations , most prominently the UN , NATO and the EU . The Dutch economy is very open and relies strongly on international trade . The foreign policy of the Netherlands is based on four basic commitments : to Atlantic co-operation , to European integration , to international development and to international law . One of the more controversial international issues surrounding the Netherlands is its liberal policy towards soft drugs . During and after the Dutch Golden Age , the Dutch people built up a commercial and colonial empire . The most important colonies were present - day Suriname and Indonesia . Indonesia became independent after the Indonesian National Revolution in the 1940s following a war of independence , international pressure and several United Nations Security Council resolutions . Suriname became independent in 1975 . The historical ties inherited from its colonial past still influence the foreign relations of the Netherlands . In addition , many people from these countries are living permanently in the Netherlands . Military ( edit ) Main article : Armed forces of the Netherlands Lieutenant admiral Rob Bauer is the current Chief of Defence . The Netherlands has one of the oldest standing armies in Europe ; it was first established as such by Maurice of Nassau in the late 1500s . The Dutch army was used throughout the Dutch Empire . After the defeat of Napoleon , the Dutch army was transformed into a conscription army . The army was unsuccessfully deployed during the Belgian Revolution in 1830 . After 1830 , it was deployed mainly in the Dutch colonies , as the Netherlands remained neutral in European wars ( including the First World War ) , until the Netherlands was invaded in World War II and quickly defeated by the Wehrmacht in May 1940 . Zr . Ms. Holland , a Royal Netherlands Navy offshore patrol vessel The Netherlands abandoned its neutrality in 1948 when it signed the Treaty of Brussels , and became a founding member of NATO in 1949 . The Dutch military was therefore part of the NATO strength in Cold War Europe , deploying its army to several bases in Germany . More than 3,000 Dutch soldiers were assigned to the 2nd Infantry Division of the United States Army during the Korean War . In 1996 conscription was suspended , and the Dutch army was once again transformed into a professional army . Since the 1990s the Dutch army has been involved in the Bosnian War and the Kosovo War , it held a province in Iraq after the defeat of Saddam Hussein , and it was engaged in Afghanistan . The military is composed of four branches , all of which carry the prefix Koninklijke ( Royal ) : Koninklijke Landmacht ( KL ) , the Royal Netherlands Army ; Koninklijke Marine ( KM ) , the Royal Netherlands Navy , including the Naval Air Service and Marine Corps ; Koninklijke Luchtmacht ( KLu ) , the Royal Netherlands Air Force ; Koninklijke Marechaussee ( KMar ) , the Royal Marechaussee ( Military Police ) , tasks include military police and border control . The submarine service are open to women as of 1 January 2017 . The Korps Commandotroepen , the Special Operations Force of the Netherlands Army , is open to women , but because of the extremely high physical demands for initial training , it is almost impossible for women to become a commando . The Dutch Ministry of Defence employs more than 70,000 personnel , including over 20,000 civilians and over 50,000 military personnel . In April 2011 the government announced a major reduction in its military because of a cut in government expenditure , including a decrease in the number of tanks , fighter aircraft , naval ships and senior officials . Economy ( edit ) Main article : Economy of the Netherlands The Port of Rotterdam is Europe 's largest port . The Netherlands has a developed economy and has been playing a special role in the European economy for many centuries . Since the 16th century , shipping , fishing , agriculture , trade , and banking have been leading sectors of the Dutch economy . The Netherlands has a high level of economic freedom . The Netherlands is one of the top countries in the Global Enabling Trade Report ( 2nd in 2016 ) , and was ranked the fifth most competitive economy in the world by the Swiss International Institute for Management Development in 2017 . In addition , the country was ranked the third most innovative in the world in the 2017 Global Innovation Index . As of 2016 , the key trading partners of the Netherlands were Germany , Belgium , the United Kingdom , the United States , France , Italy , China and Russia . The Netherlands is one of the world 's 10 leading exporting countries . Foodstuffs form the largest industrial sector . Other major industries include chemicals , metallurgy , machinery , electrical goods , trade , services and tourism . Examples of international Dutch companies operating in Netherlands include Randstad , Unilever , Heineken , KLM , financial services ( ING , ABN AMRO , Rabobank ) , chemicals ( DSM , AKZO ) , petroleum refining ( Royal Dutch Shell ) , electronical machinery ( Philips , ASML ) , and satellite navigation ( TomTom ) . The Netherlands has the 17th - largest economy in the world , and ranks 10th in GDP ( nominal ) per capita . Between 1997 and 2000 annual economic growth ( GDP ) averaged nearly 4 % , well above the European average . Growth slowed considerably from 2001 to 2005 with the global economic slowdown , but accelerated to 4.1 % in the third quarter of 2007 . In May 2013 , inflation was at 2.8 % per year . In April 2013 , unemployment was at 8.2 % ( or 6.7 % following the ILO definition ) of the labour force . In April 2017 , this was reduced to 5.1 % . In Q3 and Q4 2011 , the Dutch economy contracted by 0.4 % and 0.7 % , respectively , because of European Debt Crisis , while in Q4 the Eurozone economy shrunk by 0.3 % . The Netherlands also has a relatively low GINI coefficient of 0.326 . Despite ranking 7th in GDP per capita , UNICEF ranked the Netherlands 1st in child well - being in rich countries , both in 2007 and in 2013 . On the Index of Economic Freedom Netherlands is the 13th most free market capitalist economy out of 157 surveyed countries . Amsterdam is the financial and business capital of the Netherlands . The Amsterdam Stock Exchange ( AEX ) , part of Euronext , is the world 's oldest stock exchange and is one of Europe 's largest bourses . It is situated near Dam Square in the city 's centre . As a founding member of the euro , the Netherlands replaced ( for accounting purposes ) its former currency , the `` gulden '' ( guilder ) , on 1 January 1999 , along with 15 other adopters of the euro . Actual euro coins and banknotes followed on 1 January 2002 . One euro was equivalent to 2.20371 Dutch guilders . In the Caribbean Netherlands , the United States dollar is used instead of the euro . The Netherlands is part of a monetary union , the Eurozone ( dark blue ) , and of the EU single market . The Dutch location gives it prime access to markets in the UK and Germany , with the Port of Rotterdam being the largest port in Europe . Other important parts of the economy are international trade ( Dutch colonialism started with co-operative private enterprises such as the Dutch East India Company ) , banking and transport . The Netherlands successfully addressed the issue of public finances and stagnating job growth long before its European partners . Amsterdam is the 5th - busiest tourist destination in Europe with more than 4.2 million international visitors . Since the enlargement of the EU large numbers of migrant workers have arrived in the Netherlands from Central and Eastern Europe . Of economic importance is BrabantStad , a partnership between the municipalities of Breda , Eindhoven , Helmond , ' s - Hertogenbosch and Tilburg and the province of North Brabant . BrabantStad is the fastest growing economic region in the Netherlands , with the Brabantse Stedenrij ( polycentric city region ) as one of the national top regions , behind the Randstad megalopolis ( Amsterdam , Rotterdam , The Hague and Utrecht ) . The partnership in North Brabant aims to form an urban network and to make the province explicitly known as a leading knowledge region within Europe . With a total of 1.5 million people and 20 % of the industrial production in the Netherlands is BrabantStad one of the major economical important , metropolitan regions of the Netherlands . Of all the money that goes to research and development in the Netherlands , one third is spent in Eindhoven . A quarter of the jobs in the region are in technology and ICT . Of all European patent applications in the field of physics and electronics about eight per cent is from North Brabant . In the extended region , BrabantStad is part of the Eindhoven - Leuven - Aachen Triangle ( ELAT ) . This economic cooperation agreement between three cities in three countries has created one of the most innovative regions in the European Union ( measured in terms of money invested in technology and knowledge economy ) . The economic success of this region is important for the international competitiveness of the Netherlands ; Amsterdam , Rotterdam , and Eindhoven form together the foundation of the Dutch economy . The Netherlands continues to be one of the leading European nations for attracting foreign direct investment and is one of the five largest investors in the United States . The economy experienced a slowdown in 2005 , but in 2006 recovered to the fastest pace in six years on the back of increased exports and strong investment . The pace of job growth reached 10 - year highs in 2007 . The Netherlands is the fourth-most competitive economy in the world , according to the World Economic Forum 's Global Competitiveness Report . Natural gas ( edit ) Natural gas concessions in the Netherlands . Today the Netherlands accounts for more than 25 % of all Natural Gas reserves in the EU . Beginning in the 1950s , the Netherlands discovered huge natural gas resources . The sale of natural gas generated enormous revenues for the Netherlands for decades , adding hundreds of billions of euros to the government 's budget . However , the unforeseen consequences of the country 's huge energy wealth impacted the competitiveness of other sectors of the economy , leading to the theory of Dutch disease . Apart from coal and gas , the country has no mining resources . The last coal mine was closed in 1974 . The Groningen gas field , one of the largest natural gas fields in the world , is situated near Slochteren . Exploitation of this field has resulted in € 159 billion in revenue since the mid-1970s . The field is operated by government - owned Gasunie and output is jointly exploited by the government , Royal Dutch Shell , and Exxon Mobil through NAM ( Nederlandse Aardolie Maatschappij ) . `` Gas extraction has resulted in increasingly strong earth tremors , some measuring as much as 3.6 on the Richter magnitude scale . The cost of damage repairs , structural improvements to buildings , and compensation for home value decreases has been estimated at 6.5 billion euros . Around 35,000 homes are said to be affected . '' The Netherlands have an estimated 25 % of natural gas reserves in the EU . Agriculture ( edit ) Cows near the city of Arnhem The Dutch agricultural sector is highly mechanised , and has a strong focus on international exports . It employs about 4 % of the Dutch labour force but produces large surpluses for the food - processing industry and accounts for 21 percent of the Dutch total export value . The Dutch rank first in the European Union and second worldwide in value of agricultural exports , behind only the United States , with exports earning € 80.7 billion in 2014 , up from € 75.4 billion in 2012 . The Netherlands has , at some time in recent history , supplied one quarter of all of the world 's exported tomatoes , and trade of one - third of the world 's exports of chilis , tomatoes and cucumbers goes through the country . The Netherlands also exports one - fifteenth of the world 's apples . Aside from that , a significant portion of Dutch agricultural exports consists of fresh - cut plants , flowers , and flower bulbs , with the Netherlands exporting two - thirds of the world 's total . Transport ( edit ) Main article : Transport in the Netherlands A1 motorway , in Gelderland Bike passage at Rotterdam Centraal station Mobility on Dutch roads has grown continuously since the 1950s and now exceeds 200 billion km travelled per year , three quarters of which are done by car . Around half of all trips in the Netherlands are made by car , 25 % by bicycle , 20 % walking , and 5 % by public transport . With a total road network of 139,295 km , which includes 2,758 km of expressways , the Netherlands has one of the densest road networks in the world -- much denser than Germany and France , but still not as dense as Belgium . About 13 % of all distance is travelled by public transport , the majority of which by train . Like in many other European countries , the Dutch rail network of 3,013 route km is also rather dense . The network is mostly focused on passenger rail services and connects all major towns and cities . Trains are frequent , with one or two trains per hour on lesser lines , two to four trains per hour on average , and up to eight trains an hour on the busiest lines . A regional train operated by Nederlandse Spoorwegen Cycling is a ubiquitous mode of transport in the Netherlands . Almost as many kilometres are covered by bicycle as by train . The Dutch are estimated to have at least 18 million bicycles , which makes more than one per capita , and twice as many as the circa 9 million motor vehicles on the road . In 2013 , the European Cyclists ' Federation ranked both the Netherlands and Denmark as the most bike - friendly countries in Europe , but more of the Dutch ( 36 % ) than of the Danes ( 23 % ) list the bike as their most frequent mode of transport on a typical day . Cycling infrastructure is comprehensive . Busy roads have received some 35,000 km of dedicated cycle tracks , physically segregated from motorised traffic . Busy junctions are often equipped with bicycle - specific traffic lights . There are large bicycle parking facilities , particularly in city centres and at train stations . The Port of Rotterdam is the largest port in Europe , with the rivers Meuse and Rhine providing excellent access to the hinterland upstream reaching to Basel , Switzerland , and into France . As of 2013 , Rotterdam was the world 's eighth largest container port handling 440.5 million metric tonnes of cargo annually . The port 's main activities are petrochemical industries and general cargo handling and transshipment . The harbour functions as an important transit point for bulk materials and between the European continent and overseas . From Rotterdam goods are transported by ship , river barge , train or road . In 2007 , the Betuweroute , a new fast freight railway from Rotterdam to Germany , was completed . Schiphol Airport , just southwest of Amsterdam , is the main international airport in the Netherlands , and the third busiest airport in Europe in terms of passengers . In 2016 , the Royal Schiphol Group airports handled 70 million passengers . As part of its commitment to environmental sustainability , the Dutch government initiated a plan to establish over 200 recharging stations for electric vehicles across the country by 2015 . The rollout will be undertaken by Switzerland - based power and automation company ABB and Dutch startup Fastned , and will aim to provide at least one station within a 50 - kilometre radius ( 30 miles ) from every home in the Netherlands . Demographics ( edit ) Main article : Demographics of the Netherlands The population of the Netherlands from 1900 to 2000 The Netherlands had an estimated population of 17,093,000 as of January 2017 . It is the most densely populated country in Europe , except for very small states like Monaco , Vatican City and San Marino . It is the 63rd most populous country in the world . Between 1900 and 1950 , the country 's population almost doubled from 5.1 to 10 million . From 1950 to 2000 , the population further increased , to 15.9 million , though this represented a lower rate of population growth . The estimated growth rate in 2013 is 0.44 % . The fertility rate in the Netherlands is 1.78 children per woman ( 2013 estimate ) , which is high compared with many other European countries , but below the rate of 2.1 children per woman required for natural population replacement . Life expectancy is high in the Netherlands : 83.2 years for newborn girls and 78.9 for boys ( 2013 est . ) . The country has a migration rate of 2.0 migrants per 1,000 inhabitants per year . The majority of the population of the Netherlands is ethnically Dutch . According to a 2005 estimate , the population was 80.9 % Dutch , 2.4 % Indonesian , 2.4 % German , 2.2 % Turkish , 2.0 % Surinamese , 1.9 % Moroccan , 0.8 % Antillean and Aruban , and 7.4 % others . Some 150,000 to 200,000 people living in the Netherlands are expatriates , mostly concentrated in and around Amsterdam and The Hague , now constituting almost 10 % of the population of these cities . The Dutch are the tallest people in the world , with an average height of 1.81 metres ( 5 ft 11.3 in ) for adult males and 1.67 metres ( 5 ft 5.7 in ) for adult females in 2009 . People in the south are on average about 2 cm ( 0.8 inches ) shorter than those in the north . In Rotterdam almost half the population has an immigrant background . According to Eurostat , in 2010 there were 1.8 million foreign - born residents in the Netherlands , corresponding to 11.1 % of the total population . Of these , 1.4 million ( 8.5 % ) were born outside the EU and 0.43 million ( 2.6 % ) were born in another EU Member State . On 21 November 2016 , there were 3.8 million residents in the Netherlands with at least one foreign - born parent ( `` migration background '' ) . Over half the young people in Amsterdam and Rotterdam have a non-western background . Dutch people , or descendants of Dutch people , are also found in migrant communities worldwide , notably in Canada , Australia , South Africa and the United States . According to the United States Census Bureau ( 2006 ) , more than 5 million Americans claim total or partial Dutch ancestry . There are close to 3 million Dutch - descended Afrikaners living in South Africa . In 1940 , there were 290,000 Europeans and Eurasians in Indonesia , but most have since left the country . The Netherlands is the 24th most densely populated country in the world , with 408.53 inhabitants per square kilometre ( 1,060 / sq mi ) or -- if only the land area is counted ( 33,883 km , 13,082 sq mi ) -- 500.89 inhabitants per square kilometre ( 1,300 / sq mi ) . When the land area of the provinces only is counted ( 33,718 km , 13,019 sq mi ) , a number of 500 inhabitants per square kilometre ( 1,290 / sq mi ) was reached in the first half of 2014 . The Randstad is the country 's largest conurbation located in the west of the country and contains the four largest cities : Amsterdam in the province North Holland , Rotterdam and The Hague in the province South Holland , and Utrecht in the province Utrecht . The Randstad has a population of 7 million inhabitants and is the 5th largest metropolitan area in Europe . According to Dutch Central Statistics Bureau , in 2015 , 28 percent of Dutch population had a spendable income above 40,000 euros ( which does not include spendings on health care or education ) .

Besides Dutch , West Frisian is recognised as a second official language in the northern province of Friesland ( Fryslân in West Frisian ) . West Frisian has a formal status for government correspondence in that province . In the European part of the kingdom two other regional languages are recognised under the European Charter for Regional or Minority Languages . The first of these recognised regional languages is Low Saxon ( Nedersaksisch in Dutch ) . Low Saxon consists of several dialects spoken in the north and east , like Twents in the region of Twente , and Drents in the province of Drenthe . Secondly , Limburgish is also recognised as a regional language . It consists of Dutch varieties of Meuse - Rhenish Franconian languages and is spoken in the south - eastern province of Limburg . The dialects most spoken in the Netherlands are the Brabantian - Hollandic dialects . Ripuarian language , which is spoken in Kerkrade and Vaals in the form of , respectively , the Kerkrade dialect and the Vaals dialect is not recognised as a regional language of the Netherlands . These dialects are however sometimes considered to be a part of or related to Limburgish . English has a formal status in the special municipalities of Saba and Sint Eustatius . It is widely spoken on these islands . Papiamento has a formal status in the special municipality of Bonaire . Yiddish and the Romani language were recognised in 1996 as non-territorial languages . The Netherlands has a tradition of learning foreign languages , formalised in Dutch education laws . Some 90 % of the total population indicate they are able to converse in English , 70 % in German , and 29 % in French . English is a mandatory course in all secondary schools . In most lower level secondary school educations ( vmbo ) , one additional modern foreign language is mandatory during the first two years . In higher level secondary schools ( HAVO and VWO ) , two additional modern foreign languages are mandatory during the first three years . Only during the last three years in VWO one foreign language is mandatory . Besides English , the standard modern languages are French and German , although schools can replace one of these modern languages with Spanish , Turkish , Arabic , or Russian . Additionally , schools in Friesland teach and have exams in West Frisian , and schools across the country teach and have exams in Ancient Greek and Latin for secondary school ( called Gymnasium or VWO+ ) . Religion ( edit ) Main article : Religion in the Netherlands Religious identification in the Netherlands ( 2015 ) Irreligious ( 50.1 % ) Roman Catholic ( 23.7 % ) Protestant Church in the Netherlands ( 15.5 % ) Other Christian ( 4.6 % ) Muslim ( 4.9 % ) Other ( 1.1 % ) Religion in the Netherlands was predominantly Christianity until late into the 20th century . Although religious diversity remains , there has been a decline of religious adherence . In 2015 , Statistics Netherlands , the Dutch governmental institution that gathers statistical information about the Netherlands , found that 50.1 % of the total population declared to be Non-religious . Christians comprised the 43.8 % of the total population and were divided in Catholics with 23.7 % , Protestants with a membership in the Protestant Church in the Netherlands with 15.5 % and other Christians ( including Protestants without a membership in the Protestant Church in the Netherlands ) with 4.6 % . Islam comprised the 4.9 % of the total population and other religions ( like Judaism , Buddhism and Hinduism ) comprised the remaining 1.1 % . According to an independent in - depth interviewing by Radboud University and Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam in 2006 , 34 % of the Dutch population identified as a Christian , decreasing till in 2015 almost 25 % of the population adhered to one of the Christian faiths ( 11.7 % Roman Catholic , 8.6 % PKN , 4.2 % other small Christian denominations ) , 5 percent is Muslim and 2 percent adheres to Hinduism or Buddhism , approximately 67.8 % of the population in 2015 has no religious affiliation , up from 61 % in 2006 , 53 % in 1996 , 43 % 1979 and 33 % in 1966 . The Sociaal en Cultureel Planbureau ( Social and Cultural Planning Agency , SCP ) expects the number of non-affiliated Dutch to be at 72 % in 2020 . The Dutch constitution guarantees freedom of education , which means that all schools that adhere to general quality criteria receive the same government funding . This includes schools based on religious principles by religious groups ( especially Roman Catholic and various Protestant ) . Three political parties in the Dutch parliament , ( CDA , and two small parties , ChristianUnion and SGP ) are based upon the Christian belief . Several Christian religious holidays are national holidays ( Christmas , Easter , Pentecost and the Ascension of Jesus ) . In the late 19th century atheism began to rise as secularism , liberalism and socialism grew . By 1960 , Protestantism shrunk demographically to equal Roman Catholicism , and going onwards , both Christian branches began to decline . There is one major exception : Islam which grew considerably as the result of immigration . Since the year 2000 there has been raised awareness of religion , mainly due to Muslim extremism . The Dutch Royal Family has been traditionally associated with Calvinism , specifically the 1795 disestablished and now non-existent Dutch Reformed Church . The Dutch Reformed Church has been the only major Protestant church in the Netherlands from the Protestant Reformation up until the 19th century . It encompassed the vast majority of Protestants in the Reformed tradition until a series of splits in 1834 and in 1886 diversified Dutch Calvinism . In 2013 , a Roman Catholic became Queen consort . From a December 2014 survey by the VU University Amsterdam it was concluded that for the first time there are more atheists ( 25 % ) than theists ( 17 % ) in the Netherlands . The majority of the population being agnostic ( 31 % ) or ietsistic ( 27 % ) . In 2015 , a vast majority of the inhabitants of the Netherlands ( 82 % ) said they had never or almost never visited a church , and 59 % stated that they had never been to a church of any kind . Of all the people questioned , 24 % saw themselves as atheist , an increase of 11 % compared to the previous study done in 2006 . The expected rise of spirituality ( ietsism ) has come to a halt according to research in 2015 . In 2006 40 % of respondents considered themselves spiritual , in 2015 this has dropped to 31 % . The number who believed in the existence of a higher power fell from 36 % to 28 % over the same period . Christianity is currently the largest religion in the Netherlands . The provinces of North Brabant and Limburg have historically been strongly Roman Catholic , and some of their people might still consider the Catholic Church as a base for their cultural identity . Protestantism in the Netherlands consists of a number of churches within various traditions . The largest of these is the Protestant Church in the Netherlands ( PKN ) , a United church which is Reformed and Lutheran in orientation . It was formed in 2004 as a merger of the Dutch Reformed Church , the Reformed Churches in the Netherlands and a smaller Lutheran Church . Several orthodox Reformed and liberal churches did not merge into the PKN . Although in the Netherlands as a whole Christianity has become a minority , the Netherlands contains a Bible Belt from Zeeland to the northern parts of the province Overijssel , in which Protestant ( particularly Reformed ) beliefs remain strong , and even has majorities in municipal councils . Islam is the second largest religion in the state . In 2012 , there were about 825,000 Muslims in the Netherlands ( 5 % of the population ) . Muslim numbers increased from the 1960 as a consequence of large numbers of migrant workers . This included migrants from former Dutch colonies , such as Surinam and Indonesia , but mainly migrant workers from Turkey and Morocco . During the 1990s , Muslim refugees arrived from countries like Bosnia and Herzegovina , Iran , Iraq , Somalia , and Afghanistan . Other religions account for some 6 % of the Dutch people . Hinduism is a minority religion in the Netherlands , with around 215,000 adherents ( slightly over 1 % of the population ) . Most of these are Indo - Surinamese . There are also sizable populations of Hindu immigrants from India and Sri Lanka , and some Western adherents of Hinduism - oriented new religious movements such as Hare Krishnas . The Netherlands has an estimated 250,000 Buddhists or people strongly attracted to this religion , mainly ethnic Dutch people . There are about 45,000 Jews in the Netherlands . Education ( edit ) Main articles : Education in the Netherlands and Universities in the Netherlands A primary school in The Hague A University of Amsterdam building Education in the Netherlands is compulsory between the ages of 5 and 16 . If a child does not have a `` startqualification '' ( HAVO , VWO or MBO 2 + degree ) they are still forced to follow classes until they achieve such a qualification . All children in the Netherlands usually attend elementary school from ( on average ) ages 4 to 12 . It comprises eight grades , the first of which is facultative . Based on an aptitude test , the eighth grade teacher 's recommendation and the opinion of the pupil 's parents or caretakers , a choice is made for one of the three main streams of secondary education . After completing a particular stream , a pupil may still continue in the penultimate year of the next stream . The VMBO has 4 grades and is subdivided over several levels . Successfully completing the vmbo results in a low - level vocational degree that grants access to the MBO . The MBO ( middle - level applied education ) is a form of education primarily focuses on teaching a practical trade , or a vocational degree . With the MBO certification , a student can apply for the HBO . The HAVO has 5 grades and allows for admission to the HBO . The HBO ( higher professional education ) are universities of professional education ( applied sciences ) that award professional bachelor 's degrees ; similar to polytechnic degrees . A HBO degree gives access to the university system . The VWO ( comprising atheneum and gymnasium ) has 6 grades and prepares for studying at a research university . Universities offer of a three - year bachelor 's degree , followed by a one or two year master 's degree , which in turn can be followed by a four or five - year doctoral degree program . Doctoral candidates in the Netherlands are generally non-tenured employees of a university . All Dutch schools and universities are publicly funded and managed with the exception of religious schools that are publicly funded but not managed by the state even though requirements are necessary for the funding to be authorised . Dutch universities have a tuition fee of about 2,000 euros a year for students from the Netherlands and the European Union . The amount is about 10,000 euros for non-EU students . Healthcare ( edit ) Main article : Healthcare in the Netherlands Portrait of Antonie van Leeuwenhoek ( 1632 -- 1723 ) , known as `` the Father of Microbiology '' A public hospital in Amersfoort In 2016 , the Netherlands has maintained its number one position at the top of the annual Euro health consumer index ( EHCI ) , which compares healthcare systems in Europe , scoring 916 of a maximum 1,000 points . The Netherlands has been in the top three countries in each report published since 2005 . On 48 indicators such as patient rights and information , accessibility , prevention and outcomes , the Netherlands secured its top position among 37 European countries for the sixth year in a row . The Netherlands was ranked first in a study in 2009 comparing the health care systems of the United States , Australia , Canada , Germany and New Zealand . Ever since a major reform of the health care system in 2006 , the Dutch system received more points in the Index each year . According to the HCP ( Health Consumer Powerhouse ) , the Netherlands has ' a chaos system ' , meaning patients have a great degree of freedom from where to buy their health insurance , to where they get their healthcare service . But the difference between the Netherlands and other countries is that the chaos is managed . Healthcare decisions are being made in a dialogue between the patients and healthcare professionals . Health insurance in the Netherlands is mandatory . Healthcare in the Netherlands is covered by two statutory forms of insurance : Zorgverzekeringswet ( ZVW ) , often called `` basic insurance '' , covers common medical care . Algemene Wet Bijzondere Ziektekosten ( AWBZ ) covers long - term nursing and care . While Dutch residents are automatically insured by the government for AWBZ , everyone has to take out their own basic healthcare insurance ( basisverzekering ) , except those under 18 who are automatically covered under their parents ' premium . If you do n't take out insurance , you risk a fine . Insurers have to offer a universal package for everyone over the age of 18 years , regardless of age or state of health -- it 's illegal to refuse an application or impose special conditions . In contrast to many other European systems , the Dutch government is responsible for the accessibility and quality of the healthcare system in the Netherlands , but not in charge of its management . Healthcare in the Netherlands can be divided in several ways : three echelons , in somatic and mental health care and in ' cure ' ( short term ) and ' care ' ( long term ) . Home doctors ( huisartsen , comparable to general practitioners ) form the largest part of the first echelon . Being referenced by a member of the first echelon is mandatory for access to the second and third echelon . The health care system is in comparison to other Western countries quite effective but not the most cost - effective . Healthcare in the Netherlands is financed by a dual system that came into effect in January 2006 . Long - term treatments , especially those that involve semi-permanent hospitalization , and also disability costs such as wheelchairs , are covered by a state - controlled mandatory insurance . This is laid down in the Algemene Wet Bijzondere Ziektekosten ( `` General Law on Exceptional Healthcare Costs '' ) which first came into effect in 1968 . In 2009 this insurance covered 27 % of all health care expenses . For all regular ( short - term ) medical treatment , there is a system of obligatory health insurance , with private health insurance companies . These insurance companies are obliged to provide a package with a defined set of insured treatments . This insurance covers 41 % of all health care expenses . Other sources of health care payment are taxes ( 14 % ) , out of pocket payments ( 9 % ) , additional optional health insurance packages ( 4 % ) and a range of other sources ( 4 % ) . Affordability is guaranteed through a system of income - related allowances and individual and employer - paid income - related premiums . A key feature of the Dutch system is that premiums may not be related to health status or age . Risk variances between private health insurance companies due to the different risks presented by individual policy holders are compensated through risk equalization and a common risk pool . Funding for all short - term health care is 50 % from employers , 45 % from the insured person and 5 % by the government . Children under 18 are covered for free . Those on low incomes receive compensation to help them pay their insurance . Premiums paid by the insured are about € 100 per month ( about US $127 in August 2010 and in 2012 € 150 or US $196 , ) with variation of about 5 % between the various competing insurers , and deductible a year € 220 ( U.S. $288 ) . Culture ( edit ) Main article : Culture of the Netherlands Girl with a Pearl Earring by Johannes Vermeer Self - portrait by Vincent van Gogh The Rijksmuseum The National NEMO Science Museum and the Nederlands Scheepvaartmuseum in second plan , in Amsterdam Art , philosophy and literature ( edit ) Main articles : Dutch art , Architecture of the Netherlands , and Dutch literature The Netherlands has had many well - known painters . The 17th century , in which the Dutch Republic was prosperous , was the age of the `` Dutch Masters '' , such as Rembrandt van Rijn , Johannes Vermeer , Jan Steen , Jacob van Ruisdael and many others . Famous Dutch painters of the 19th and 20th century were Vincent van Gogh and Piet Mondriaan . M.C. Escher is a well - known graphics artist . Willem de Kooning was born and trained in Rotterdam , although he is considered to have reached acclaim as an American artist . The Netherlands is the country of philosophers Erasmus of Rotterdam and Spinoza . All of Descartes ' major work was done in the Netherlands since he studied at Leiden University -- as did throughout the centuries geologist James Hutton , British Prime Minister John Stuart , U.S. President John Quincy Adams , Physics Nobel Prize laureate Hendrik Lorentz and Islam critic Ayaan Hirsi Ali . The Dutch scientist Christiaan Huygens ( 1629 -- 1695 ) discovered Saturn 's moon Titan , argued that light travelled as waves , invented the pendulum clock and was the first physicist to use mathematical formulae . Antonie van Leeuwenhoek was the first to observe and describe single - celled organisms with a microscope . In the Dutch Golden Age , literature flourished as well , with Joost van den Vondel and P.C. Hooft as the two most famous writers . In the 19th century , Multatuli wrote about the poor treatment of the natives in the Dutch colony , the current Indonesia . Important 20th century authors include Godfried Bomans , Harry Mulisch , Jan Wolkers , Simon Vestdijk , Hella S. Haasse , Cees Nooteboom , Gerard Reve and Willem Frederik Hermans . Anne Frank 's Diary of a Young Girl was published after she died in the Holocaust and translated from Dutch to all major languages . The traditional Dutch architecture is especially valuated in Amsterdam , Delft and Leiden , with 17 and 18th century buildings along the canals . Smaller village architecture with wooden houses is found in Zaandam and Marken . Replicas of Dutch buildings can be found in Huis Ten Bosch , Nagasaki , Japan . A similar Holland Village is being built in Shenyang , China . Windmills , tulips , wooden shoes , cheese , Delftware pottery , and cannabis are among the items associated with the Netherlands by tourists . The Netherlands has a long history of social tolerance and today is regarded as a liberal country , considering its drug policy and its legalisation of euthanasia . On 1 April 2001 , the Netherlands became the first nation to legalise same - sex marriage .

( May 2018 ) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message ) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message ) The Dutch have a code of etiquette which governs social behaviour and is considered important . Because of the international position of the Netherlands , many books have been written on the subject . Some customs may not be true in all regions and they are never absolute . In addition to those specific to the Dutch , many general points of European etiquette apply to the Dutch as well . Dutch society is egalitarian and modern . The people tend to view themselves as modest , independent and self - reliant . They value ability over dependency . The Dutch have an aversion to the non-essential . Ostentatious behaviour is to be avoided . Accumulating money is fine as long as people put it back into the system for the good of society . A high lifestyle is considered wasteful ; volunteership is encouraged . The Dutch are proud of their cultural heritage , rich history in art and involvement in international affairs . Dutch people in orange celebrating King 's Day in Amsterdam , 2017 Dutch manners are open and direct with a no - nonsense attitude ; informality combined with adherence to basic behaviour . According to a humorous source on Dutch culture , `` Their directness gives many the impression that they are rude and crude -- attributes they prefer to call openness . '' A well known more serious source on Dutch etiquette is `` Dealing with the Dutch '' from Jacob Vossestein : `` Dutch egalitarianism is the idea that people are equal , especially from a moral point of view , and accordingly , causes the somewhat ambiguous stance the Dutch have towards hierarchy and status . '' As always , manners differ between groups . Asking about basic rules will not be considered impolite . `` What may strike you as being blatantly blunt topics and comments are no more embarrassing or unusual to the Dutch than discussing the weather . '' Researchers tend to agree that Dutch honesty has to be understood to acknowledge how the people of the Netherlands accept other people 's differences . Since society asks everyone to be gelukkig ( `` happy '' ) above any other thing , a collective way of thinking has emerged a long time ago . The Netherlands is one of the most secular countries of Europe , and religion is in the Netherlands generally considered as a personal matter which is not supposed to be propagated in public , although it often remains a discussion subject . For 17 % of the population religion is important and 14 % goes to church weekly . Dutch people and ecology ( edit ) The Netherlands has the reputation of the leader country in environmental and population management . In 2015 , Amsterdam and Rotterdam were , respectively , at the 4th and the 5th position on the Arcadis Sustainable Cities Index . Sustainability is a concept important for the Dutch . The goal of the Dutch Government is to have a sustainable , reliable and affordable energy system , by 2050 , in which CO emissions have been halved and 40 percent of electricity is derived from sustainable sources . The government is investing billions of euros in energy efficiency , sustainable energy and CO reduction . The Kingdom also encourage Dutch companies to build sustainable business / projects / facilities , with financial aids from the state to the companies or individuals who are active in making the country more sustainable . Music ( edit ) Main articles : Music of the Netherlands and Music of the former Netherlands Antilles The Royal Concertgebouw from the 19th century The Netherlands has multiple music traditions . Traditional Dutch music is a genre known as `` Levenslied '' , meaning Song of life , to an extent comparable to a French Chanson or a German Schlager . These songs typically have a simple melody and rhythm , and a straightforward structure of couplets and refrains . Themes can be light , but are often sentimental and include love , death and loneliness . Traditional musical instruments such as the accordion and the barrel organ are a staple of levenslied music , though in recent years many artists also use synthesizers and guitars . Artists in this genre include Jan Smit , Frans Bauer and André Hazes . Pop singer Anouk in 2008 The Johan Cruyff Arena , largest Dutch concert venue Contemporary Dutch rock and pop music ( Nederpop ) originated in the 1960s , heavily influenced by popular music from the United States and Britain . In the 1960s and 1970s the lyrics were mostly in English , and some tracks were instrumental . Bands such as Shocking Blue , Golden Earring , Tee Set , George Baker Selection and Focus enjoyed international success . As of the 1980s , more and more pop musicians started working in the Dutch language , partly inspired by the huge success of the band Doe Maar . Today Dutch rock and pop music thrives in both languages , with some artists recording in both . Current symphonic metal bands Epica , Delain , ReVamp , The Gathering , Asrai , Autumn , Ayreon and Within Temptation as well as jazz and pop singer Caro Emerald are having international success . Also , metal bands like Hail of Bullets , God Dethroned , Izegrim , Asphyx , Textures , Present Danger , Heidevolk and Slechtvalk are popular guests at the biggest metal festivals in Europe . Contemporary local stars include pop singer Anouk , country pop singer Ilse DeLange , South Guelderish and Limburgish dialect singing folk band Rowwen Hèze , rock band BLØF and duo Nick & Simon . Early 1990s Dutch and Belgian house music came together in Eurodance project 2 Unlimited . Selling 18 million records , the two singers in the band are the most successful Dutch music artists to this day . Tracks like `` Get Ready for This '' are still popular themes of U.S. sports events , like the NHL . In the mid 1990s Dutch language rap and hip hop ( Nederhop ) also came to fruition and has become popular in the Netherlands and Belgium . Artists with North African , Caribbean or Middle Eastern origins have strongly influenced this genre . Since the 1990s , Dutch electronic dance music ( EDM ) gained widespread popularity in the world in many forms , from trance , techno and gabber to hardstyle . Some of the world 's best known dance music DJs hail from the Netherlands , including Armin van Buuren , Tiësto , Hardwell , Martin Garrix , Dash Berlin , Nicky Romero , W&W , Don Diablo and Afrojack ; the first four of which have been ranked as best in the world by DJ Mag Top 100 DJs . The Amsterdam Dance Event ( ADE ) is the world 's leading electronic music conference and the biggest club festival for the many electronic subgenres on the planet . These DJs also contribute to the world 's mainstream pop music , as they frequently collaborate and produce for high - profile international artists . In classical music , Jan Sweelinck ranks as the Dutch most famous composer , with Louis Andriessen amongst the best known living Dutch classical composers . Ton Koopman is a Dutch conductor , organist and harpsichordist . He is also professor at the Royal Conservatory of The Hague . Notable violinists are Janine Jansen and André Rieu . The latter , together with his Johann Strauss Orchestra , has taken classical and waltz music on worldwide concert tours , the size and revenue of which are otherwise only seen from the world 's biggest rock and pop music acts . The most famous Dutch classical composition is `` Canto Ostinato '' by Simeon ten Holt , a minimalistic composition for multiple instruments . Acclaimed harpist Lavinia Meijer in 2012 released an album with works from Philip Glass that she transcribed for harp , with approval of Glass himself . The Concertgebouw ( completed in 1888 ) in Amsterdam is home to the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra , considered one of the world 's finest orchestras . Film and television ( edit ) Main articles : Cinema of the Netherlands and Television in the Netherlands The Voice franchise originated in the Netherlands . Some Dutch films -- mainly by director Paul Verhoeven -- have received international distribution and recognition , such as Turkish Delight ( `` Turks Fruit '' , 1973 ) , Soldier of Orange ( `` Soldaat van Oranje '' , 1977 ) , Spetters ( 1980 ) and The Fourth Man ( `` De Vierde Man '' , 1983 ) . Verhoeven then went on to direct big Hollywood movies like RoboCop ( 1987 ) , Total Recall ( 1990 ) and Basic Instinct ( 1992 ) , and returned with Dutch film Black Book ( `` Zwartboek '' , 2006 ) . Other well - known Dutch film directors are Jan de Bont ( Speed ) , Anton Corbijn ( A Most wanted Man ) , Dick Maas ( De Lift ) , Fons Rademakers ( The Assault ) , and documentary makers Bert Haanstra and Joris Ivens . Film director Theo van Gogh achieved international notoriety in 2004 when he was murdered by Mohammed Bouyeri in the streets of Amsterdam after directing the short film Submission . Internationally successful directors of photography from the Netherlands are Hoyte van Hoytema ( Interstellar , Spectre , Dunkirk ) and Theo van de Sande ( Wayne 's World and Blade ) . Van Hoytema went to the National Film School in Łódź ( Poland ) and Van de Sande went to the Netherlands Film Academy . Internationally successful Dutch actors include Famke Janssen ( X-Men ) , Carice van Houten ( Game of Thrones ) , Michiel Huisman ( Game of Thrones ) , Rutger Hauer ( Blade Runner ) , Jeroen Krabbé ( The Living Daylights ) and Derek de Lint ( Three Men and a Baby ) . The Netherlands has a well developed television market , with both multiple commercial and public broadcasters . Imported TV programmes , as well as interviews with responses in a foreign language , are virtually always shown with the original sound and subtitled . Only foreign shows for children are translated . TV exports from the Netherlands mostly take the form of specific formats and franchises , most notably through internationally active TV production conglomerate Endemol , founded by Dutch media tycoons John de Mol and Joop van den Ende . Headquartered in Amsterdam , Endemol has around 90 companies in over 30 countries . Endemol and its subsidiaries create and run reality , talent , and game show franchises worldwide , including Big Brother and Deal or No Deal . John de Mol later started his own company Talpa which created show franchises like The Voice and Utopia . Sports ( edit ) Main article : Sports in the Netherlands Dutch star football players Arjen Robben and Robin van Persie during a game with the Netherlands national football team against Denmark national football team at Euro 2012 Approximately 4.5 million of the 16.8 million people in the Netherlands are registered to one of the 35,000 sports clubs in the country . About two - thirds of the population between 15 and 75 participates in sports weekly . Football is the most popular participant sport in the Netherlands , before field hockey and volleyball as the second and third most popular team sports . Tennis , gymnastics and golf are the three most widely engaged in individual sports . Organisation of sports began at the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century . Federations for sports were established ( such as the speed skating federation in 1882 ) , rules were unified and sports clubs came into existence . A Dutch National Olympic Committee was established in 1912 . Thus far , the nation has won 266 medals at the Summer Olympic Games and another 110 medals at the Winter Olympic Games . In international competition , Dutch national teams and athletes are dominant in several fields of sport . The Netherlands women 's field hockey team is the most successful team in World Cup history . The Netherlands baseball team have won the European championship 20 times out of 32 events . Dutch K - 1 kickboxers have won the K - 1 World Grand Prix 15 times out of 19 tournaments . The Dutch speed skaters ' performance at the 2014 Winter Olympics , where they won 8 out of 12 events , 23 out of 36 medals , including 4 clean sweeps , is the most dominant performance in a single sport in Olympic history . Motorcycle racing at the TT Assen Circuit has a long history . Assen is the only venue to have held a round of the Motorcycle World Championship every year since its creation in 1949 . The circuit was purpose built for the Dutch TT in 1954 , with previous events having been held on public roads . Limburger Max Verstappen currently races in Formula One , and was the first Dutchman to win a Grand Prix . The coastal resort of Zandvoort hosted the Dutch Grand Prix from 1958 to 1985 . The volleyball national men 's team has also been successful , winning the silver medal at the 1992 Summer Olympics and the gold medal four years later in Atlanta . The biggest success of the women 's national team was winning the European Championship in 1995 and the World Grand Prix in 2007 . Cuisine ( edit ) Main article : Dutch cuisine The Gouda cheese market Dutch Coenraad Johannes van Houten invented solid chocolate in 1828 . Originally , the country 's cuisine was shaped by the practices of fishing and farming , including the cultivation of the soil for growing crops and raising domesticated animals . Dutch cuisine is simple and straightforward , and contains many dairy products . Breakfast and lunch are typically bread with toppings , with cereal for breakfast as an alternative . Traditionally , dinner consists of potatoes , a portion of meat , and ( seasonal ) vegetables . The Dutch diet was relatively high in carbohydrates and fat , reflecting the dietary needs of the labourers whose culture moulded the country . Without many refinements , it is best described as rustic , though many holidays are still celebrated with special foods . In the course of the twentieth century this diet changed and became much more cosmopolitan , with most global cuisines being represented in the major cities . Modern culinary writers distinguish between three general regional forms of Dutch cuisine . The regions in the northeast of the Netherlands , roughly the provinces of Groningen , Friesland , Drenthe , Overijssel and Gelderland north of the great rivers are the least populated area of the Netherlands . The late ( 18th century ) introduction of large scale agriculture means that the cuisine is generally known for its many kinds of meats . The relative lack of farms allowed for an abundance of game and husbandry , though dishes near the coastal regions of Friesland , Groningen and the parts of Overijssel bordering the IJsselmeer also include a large amount of fish . The various dried sausages , belonging to the metworst - family of Dutch sausages are found throughout this region and are highly prized for their often very strong taste . Also smoked sausages are common , of which ( Gelderse ) rookworst is the most renowned . The sausage contains a lot of fat and is very juicy . Larger sausages are often eaten alongside stamppot , hutspot or zuurkool ( sauerkraut ) ; whereas smaller ones are often eaten as a street food . The provinces are also home to hard textured rye bread , pastries and cookies , the latter heavily spiced with ginger or succade or contain small bits of meat . Various kinds of Kruidkoek ( such as Groninger koek ) , Fryske dúmkes and spekdikken ( small savory pancakes cooked in a waffle iron ) are considered typical . Notable characteristics of Fries roggebrood ( Frisian rye bread ) is its long baking time ( up to 20 hours ) , resulting in a sweet taste and a deep dark colour . In terms of alcoholic beverages , the region is renowned for its many bitters ( such as Beerenburg ) and other high - proof liquors rather than beer , which is , apart from Jenever , typical for the rest of the country . As a coastal region , Friesland is home to low - lying grasslands , and thus has a cheese production in common with the Western cuisine . Friese Nagelkaas ( Friesian Clove ) is a notable example . The provinces of North Holland , South Holland , Zeeland , Utrecht and the Gelderlandic region of Betuwe are the parts of the Netherlands which make up the region in which western Dutch cuisine is found . Because of the abundance of water and flat grass lands that are found here , the area is known for its many dairy products , which includes prominent cheeses such as Gouda , Leyden ( spiced cheese with cumin ) , Edam ( traditionally in small spheres ) as well as Leerdammer and Beemster , while the adjacent Zaanstreek in North Holland is since the 16th century known for its mayonnaise , typical whole - grain mustards and chocolate industry . Zeeland and South Holland produce a lot of butter , which contains a larger amount of milkfat than most other European butter varieties . A by - product of the butter - making process , karnemelk ( buttermilk ) , is also considered typical for this region . Seafood such as soused herring , mussels ( called Zeeuwse Mossels , since all Dutch mussels for consumption are cleaned in Zeeland 's Oosterschelde ) , eels , oysters and shrimps are widely available and typical for the region . Kibbeling , once a local delicacy consisting of small chunks of battered white fish , has become a national fast food , just as lekkerbek . Pastries in this area tend to be quite doughy , and often contain large amounts of sugar ; either caramelised , powdered or crystallised . The oliebol ( in its modern form ) and Zeeuwse bolus are good examples . Cookies are also produced in great number and tend to contain a lot of butter and sugar , like stroopwafel , as well as a filling of some kind , mostly almond , like gevulde koek . The traditional alcoholic beverages of this region are beer ( strong pale lager ) and Jenever , a high proof juniper - flavored spirit , that came to be known in England as gin . A noted exception within the traditional Dutch alcoholic landscape , Advocaat , a rich and creamy liqueur made from eggs , sugar and brandy , is also native to this region . The Southern Dutch cuisine consists of the cuisines of the Dutch provinces of North Brabant and Limburg and the Flemish Region in Belgium . It is renowned for its many rich pastries , soups , stews and vegetable dishes and is often called Burgundian which is a Dutch idiom invoking the rich Burgundian court which ruled the Low Countries in the Middle Ages , renowned for its splendor and great feasts . It is the only Dutch culinary region that developed an haute cuisine . Pastries are abundant , often with rich fillings of cream , custard or fruits . Cakes , such as the Vlaai from Limburg and the Moorkop and Bossche Bol from Brabant , are typical pastries . Savoury pastries also occur , with the worstenbroodje ( a roll with a sausage of ground beef , literally translates into sausage bread ) being the most popular . The traditional alcoholic beverage of the region is beer . There are many local brands , ranging from Trappist to Kriek. 5 of the 10 International Trappist Association recognised breweries in the world , are located in the Southern Dutch cultural area . Beer , like wine in French cuisine , is also used in cooking ; often in stews . In early 2014 , Oxfam ranked the Netherlands as the country with the most nutritious , plentiful and healthy food , in a comparison of 125 countries . Colonial heritage ( edit ) Main article : Dutch Empire Further information : Dutch East Indies and Indos in the Dutch East Indies New Amsterdam as it appeared in 1664 ; under British rule it became known as New York From the exploitations of the Dutch East India Company in the 17th century , to the colonisations in the 19th century , Dutch imperial possessions continued to expand , reaching their greatest extent by establishing a hegemony of the Dutch East Indies in the early 20th century . The Dutch East Indies , which later formed modern - day Indonesia , was one of the most valuable European colonies in the world and the most important one for the Netherlands . Over 350 years of mutual heritage has left a significant cultural mark on the Netherlands . In the Dutch Golden Age of the 17th century , the Netherlands urbanised considerably , mostly financed by corporate revenue from the Asian trade monopolies . Social status was based on merchants ' income , which reduced feudalism and considerably changed the dynamics of Dutch society . When the Dutch Royal Family was established in 1815 , much of its wealth came from Colonial trade . Universities such as the Royal Leiden University , founded in the 16th century , have developed into leading knowledge centres for Southeast Asian and Indonesian studies . Leiden University has produced leading academics such as Christiaan Snouck Hurgronje , and still has academics who specialise in Indonesian languages and cultures . Leiden University and in particular KITLV are educational and scientific institutions that to this day share both an intellectual and historical interest in Indonesian studies . Other scientific institutions in the Netherlands include the Amsterdam Tropenmuseum , an anthropological museum with massive collections of Indonesian art , culture , ethnography and anthropology . A Dutch doctor vaccinating Indonesian patients The traditions of the Royal Dutch East Indies Army ( KNIL ) are maintained by the Regiment Van Heutsz of the modern Royal Netherlands Army . A dedicated Bronbeek Museum , a former home for retired KNIL soldiers , exists in Arnhem to this day . A specific segment of Dutch literature called Dutch Indies literature still exists and includes established authors , such as Louis Couperus , the writer of `` The Hidden Force '' , taking the colonial era as an important source of inspiration . One of the great masterpieces of Dutch literature is the book `` Max Havelaar '' , written by Multatuli in 1860 . The majority of Dutchmen that repatriated to the Netherlands after and during the Indonesian revolution are Indo ( Eurasian ) , native to the islands of the Dutch East Indies . This relatively large Eurasian population had developed over a period of 400 years and were classified by colonial law as belonging to the European legal community . In Dutch they are referred to as Indische Nederlanders or as Indo ( short for Indo - European ) . Including their second generation descendants , Indos are currently the largest foreign - born group in the Netherlands . In 2008 , the Dutch Central Bureau for Statistics ( CBS ) registered 387,000 first - and second - generation Indos living in the Netherlands . Although considered fully assimilated into Dutch society , as the main ethnic minority in the Netherlands , these ' repatriants ' have played a pivotal role in introducing elements of Indonesian culture into Dutch mainstream culture . Practically every town in the Netherlands has a `` Toko '' ( Dutch Indonesian Shop ) or a Chinese - Indonesian restaurant and many ' Pasar Malam ' ( Night market in Malay / Indonesian ) fairs are organised throughout the year . Many Indonesian dishes and foodstuffs have become commonplace in the Netherlands . Rijsttafel , a colonial culinary concept , and dishes such as Nasi goreng and satay are very popular in the Netherlands .

Civic Holiday Observed by Canada Date First Monday in August 2016 date August 1 ( 2016 - 08 - 01 ) 2017 date August 7 ( 2017 - 08 - 07 ) 2018 date August 6 ( 2018 - 08 - 06 ) 2019 date August 5 ( 2019 - 08 - 05 ) Frequency annual Civic Holiday is the most widely used name for a public holiday celebrated in most of Canada on the first Monday in August , though it is only officially known by that term by the governments of Nunavut , the Northwest Territories , and Prince Edward Island . The Civic holiday is recognized as a statutory holiday in those three provinces and territories . The holiday is known by a variety of names in other provinces and municipalities , including British Columbia Day in British Columbia , New Brunswick Day in New Brunswick , and Saskatchewan Day in Saskatchewan . The holiday is celebrated as Natal Day in Nova Scotia and Terry Fox Day in Manitoba . The day is not a statutory holiday in Nova Scotia and Manitoba . Contents ( hide ) 1 Alberta 2 British Columbia 3 Ontario 4 Quebec , Newfoundland & Labrador , Yukon 5 See also 6 References Alberta ( edit ) In 1974 the Government of Alberta , acting through Minister of Culture Dr. Horst A. Schmid , declared the first Monday in August an annual holiday to recognize and celebrate the varied cultural heritage of Albertans , known as Heritage Day . This gave rise in 1976 to the Edmonton Heritage Festival , a three - day celebration of food , dance , and handicrafts of cultures from around the world . Heritage Day has been an `` optional '' civic holiday , having been downgraded from a statutory holiday following the introduction of Family Day in 1990 . British Columbia ( edit ) In 1974 , the Legislature of British Columbia introduced legislation nominated by Surrey MLA Ernie Hall to establish the holiday . It was the last province to establish an August Monday holiday . Ontario ( edit ) The holiday was renamed Simcoe Day in Toronto effective 1969 in honour of the first Lieutenant - Governor of Upper Canada and the promulgator of the Act Against Slavery , but a motion at the Ontario Municipal Association to extend the name change across Ontario failed . According to a 2005 proclamation this name continues to apply in the present amalgamated city of Toronto . Civic Holiday is now known by one of a number of local appellations such as : Colonel By Day in Ottawa , George Hamilton Day in Hamilton , Joseph Brant Day in Burlington , Founders ' Day in Brantford , McLaughlin Day in Oshawa , Alexander Mackenzie Day in Sarnia , James Cockburn Day in Cobourg , Peter Robinson Day in Peterborough , and John Galt Day in Guelph , as well as numerous other names in smaller municipalities . When not given a local name , it is often referred to as ' Civic Holiday ' . Although a work holiday is given to employees of the federal and many municipal governments , the Government of Ontario has not defined this day as a statutory holiday and it is mentioned in neither Ontario 's Employment Standards Act nor Retail Business Holidays Act . Schools are generally already closed , regardless of the holiday 's status , because of summer vacation . The Caribbean Cultural Festival , formerly known as Caribana , is held this holiday weekend in Toronto , coinciding with Emancipation Day . Quebec , Newfoundland & Labrador , Yukon ( edit ) The first Monday in August is not generally observed as a holiday in Quebec , parts of Newfoundland and Labrador , or Yukon , but replacement summer holidays may be observed as follows : Quebec observes Saint - Jean - Baptiste Day on 24 June . In Yukon , Discovery Day is observed on the third Monday of August instead , and commemorates the 1896 discovery of gold in the territory and the start of the Klondike Gold Rush . In Newfoundland and Labrador , the Shops Closing Act provides for a civic holiday on the date of the Royal St. John 's Regatta ( usually the first Wednesday of August ) in St. John 's , the date of the Harbour Grace Regatta ( usually the fourth Saturday in July ) in Harbour Grace , and a date fixed by the applicable municipal council in all other municipalities . Several of these communities use the first Monday in August as a civic holiday , while others have not selected any date .

-2111480237379699513 | Stop and identify statutes | Stop and identify statutes - wikipedia Stop and identify statutes States ( colored red ) in which Stop and Identify statutes were in effect as of February 20 , 2013 . `` Stop and identify '' statutes are statutory laws in the United States that authorize police to legally obtain the identification of someone whom they reasonably suspect of having committed a crime . If there is no reasonable suspicion that a crime has been committed , is being committed , or is about to be committed , an individual is not required to provide identification , even in `` Stop and ID '' states . The Fourth Amendment to the United States Constitution prohibits unreasonable searches and seizures and requires any warrant to be judicially sanctioned and supported by probable cause . Terry v. Ohio , 392 U.S. 1 ( 1968 ) established that it is constitutionally permissible for police to temporarily detain a person based on an articulable reasonable suspicion that a crime has been committed , and to conduct a patdown for weapons based on a reasonable belief that the person is armed . The question whether it is constitutionally permissible for the police to demand that a detainee provide his or her name was considered by the U.S. Supreme Court in Hiibel v. Sixth Judicial District Court of Nevada , 542 U.S. 177 ( 2004 ) , which held that the name disclosure did not violate the Fourth Amendment prohibition on unreasonable searches and seizures . The Hiibel case also held that , because Hiibel had no reasonable belief that his name would be used to incriminate him , the name disclosure did not violate the Fifth Amendment right against self - incrimination ; however , the Court left open the possibility that Fifth Amendment right might apply in situations where there was a reasonable belief that giving a name could be incriminating . The Court accepted the Nevada supreme court interpretation of the Nevada statute that a detained person could satisfy the Nevada law by simply stating his name . The Court did not rule on whether particular identification cards could be required , though it did mention one state law requiring `` credible and reliable '' identification had been struck down for vagueness . Contents 1 Police -- citizen encounters 1.1 Consensual 1.2 Reasonable suspicion 1.3 Arrest 2 Obligation to identify 2.1 Variations in `` stop and identify '' laws 2.2 Interaction with other laws 2.3 Interpretation by courts 2.4 Recommendations of legal - aid organizations 3 Other countries 4 See also 5 Notes 6 External links Police -- citizen encounters ( edit ) In the United States , interactions between police and citizens fall into three general categories : consensual ( `` contact '' or `` conversation '' ) , detention ( often called a Terry stop , after Terry v. Ohio , 392 U.S. 1 ( 1968 ) ) , or arrest . `` Stop and identify '' laws pertain to detentions . Different obligations apply to drivers of motor vehicles , who generally are required by state vehicle codes to present a driver 's license to police upon request . Consensual ( edit ) At any time , police may approach a person and ask questions . The objective may simply be a friendly conversation ; however , the police also may suspect involvement in a crime , but lack `` specific and articulable facts '' that would justify a detention or arrest , and hope to obtain these facts from the questioning . The person approached is not required to identify himself or answer any other questions , and may leave at any time . Police are not usually required to tell a person that he is free to decline to answer questions and go about his business ; however , a person can usually determine whether the interaction is consensual by asking , `` Am I free to go ? '' Reasonable suspicion ( edit ) A person is detained when circumstances are such that a reasonable person would believe he is not free to leave . Police may briefly detain a person if they have reasonable suspicion that the person has committed , is committing , or is about to commit a crime . Many state laws explicitly grant this authority . In Terry v. Ohio , the U.S. Supreme Court established that police may conduct a limited search for weapons ( known as a `` frisk '' ) if they reasonably suspect that the person to be detained may be armed and dangerous . Police may question a person detained in a Terry stop , but in general , the detainee is not required to answer . However , many states have `` stop and identify '' laws that explicitly require a person detained under the conditions of Terry to identify himself to police , and in some cases , provide additional information . Before Hiibel , it was unresolved whether a detainee could be arrested and prosecuted for refusing to disclose his name . Authority on this issue was split among the federal circuit courts of appeal , and the U.S. Supreme Court twice expressly refused to address the question . In Hiibel , the Court held , in a 5 -- 4 decision , that a Nevada `` stop and identify '' law did not violate the United States Constitution . The Court opinion implied that a detainee was not required to produce written identification , but could satisfy the requirement merely by stating his name . Some `` stop and identify '' laws do not require that a detainee identify himself , but allow refusal to do so to be considered along with other factors in determining whether there is probable cause to arrest . In some states , providing a false name is an offense . As of February 2011 , the Supreme Court has not addressed the validity of requirements that a detainee provide information other than his name , however some states such as Arizona have specifically codified that a detained person is not required to provide any information aside from their full name . Arrest ( edit ) Main article : Arrest A detention requires only that police have reasonable suspicion that a person is involved in criminal activity . However , to make an arrest , an officer must have probable cause to believe that the person has committed a crime . Some states require police to inform the person of the intent to make the arrest and the cause for the arrest . But it is not always obvious when a detention becomes an arrest . After making an arrest , police may search a person , his or her belongings , and his or her immediate surroundings . Whether an arrested person must identify himself may depend on the jurisdiction in which the arrest occurs . If a person is under arrest and police wish to question him , they are required to inform the person of his Fifth - Amendment right to remain silent by giving a Miranda warning . However , Miranda does not apply to biographical data necessary to complete booking . It is not clear whether a `` stop and identify '' law could compel giving one 's name after being arrested , although some states have laws that specifically require an arrested person to give his name and other biographical information , and some state courts have held that refusal to give one 's name constitutes obstructing a public officer . As a practical matter , an arrested person who refused to give his name would have little chance of obtaining a prompt release .

Stat . § 968.24 States not listed do not have a requirement to show Identification to law enforcement officers . Some states listed have `` Stop and ID '' laws which may or may not require someone to identify themselves during an investigative detention . While Wisconsin statutes allow law enforcement officers to `` demand '' ID , there is no statutory requirement to provide them ID nor is there a penalty for refusing to , hence Wisconsin is not a must ID state . Henes v. Morrissey , 194 Wis. 2d 338 , 353 - 54 ( 1995 ) . Annotations for Wisconsin § 968.24 , however , state `` The principles of Terry permit a state to require a suspect to disclose his or her name in the course of a Terry stop and allow imposing criminal penalties for failing to do so '' , citing Hiibel as authority . Hiibel held that statutes requiring suspects to disclose their names during police investigations did not violate the Fourth Amendment if the statute first required reasonable and articulable suspicion of criminal involvement . The Wisconsin Supreme Court held in Henes v. Morrissey that `` A crime is made up of two parts : proscribed conduct and a prescribed penalty . `` The former without the latter is no crime ... In this case no statute penalizes a refusal to identify oneself to a law enforcement officer , and no penalty is set forth in the statute for refusing to identify oneself . This statute is part of Chapter 968 entitled `` Commencement of Criminal Proceedings . By its very terms sec . 968.24 empowers a law enforcement officer to stop and question `` in the vicinity where the person was stopped . '' The statute does not authorize a law enforcement officer to make an arrest . '' Additionally Henes v. Morrissey held that a detained person not providing their name is n't on its own a violation of 946.41 Resisting or obstructing officer as the act of not identifying ones self is n't a false statement with intent to mislead the officer in the performance of his or her duty . Neither is Illinois , since the Illinois Second District Appellate Court Decision in People v. Fernandez , 2011 IL App ( 2d ) 100473 , which specifically states that section 107 - 14 is found in the Code of Criminal Procedure of 1963 , not the Criminal Code of 1961 , and governs the conduct of police officers . The fact remains that there is no corresponding duty in the Criminal Code of 1961 for a suspect to identify himself or herself . By contrast , in Hiibel v. Sixth Judicial District Court of Nevada , 542 U.S. 177 , 181 ( 2004 ) , a Nevada statute ( Nev . Rev. Stat. § 171.123 ( 2003 ) ) specifically required that a person subjected to a Terry stop `` shall identify himself . '' The Supreme Court held that the statute was constitutional . As of February 2011 , there is no U.S. federal law requiring that an individual identify himself during a Terry stop , but Hiibel held that states may enact such laws , provided the law requires the officer to have reasonable and articulable suspicion of criminal involvement , and 24 states have done so . The opinion in Hiibel implied that persons detained by police in jurisdictions with constitutional `` stop and identify '' laws listed are obligated to identify themselves , and that persons detained in other jurisdictions are not . The issue may not be that simple , however , for several reasons : The wording of `` stop and identify '' laws varies considerably from state to state . Noncompliance with a `` stop and identify '' law that does not explicitly impose a penalty may constitute violation of another law , such as one to the effect of `` resisting , obstructing , or delaying a peace officer '' . State courts have made varying interpretations of both `` stop and identify '' and `` obstructing '' laws . Variations in `` stop and identify '' laws ( edit ) Four states ' laws ( Arizona , Indiana , Louisiana , and Nevada ) explicitly impose an obligation to provide identifying information . Fifteen states grant police authority to ask questions , with varying wording , but do not explicitly impose an obligation to respond : In Montana , police `` may request '' identifying information ; In Ohio , identifying information may be required `` when requested '' ; an obligation exists only when the police suspect a person is committing , has committed , or is about to commit a criminal offense , is witness to a violent felony offense , or is witness to an attempt or conspiracy to commit a violent felony offense ; In 12 states ( Alabama , Delaware , Illinois , Kansas , Missouri , Nebraska , New Hampshire , New York , North Dakota , Rhode Island , Utah , Wisconsin ) , police `` may demand '' identifying information . Of note , though , in New Hampshire for example ( RSA 594 : 2 ) , statutory language authorizing a ' demand ' for identity does not establish a legal requirement to provide documentation of identity ( ID ) , or even a requirement to respond in the first place . Further , a law enforcement officer is authorized to make such ' demand ' only of individuals for `` whom he has reason to suspect is committing , has committed or is about to commit a crime . '' Identifying information varies , but typically includes Name , address , and an explanation of the person 's actions ; In some cases it also includes the person 's intended destination , the person 's date of birth ( Indiana and Ohio ) , or written identification if available ( Colorado ) . Ohio does not require the person 's intended destination . Ohio requires only name , address , or date of birth . Date of birth is NOT required if the age of the person is an element to the crime ( such as underage drinking , curfew violation , etc ... ) that the person is reasonably suspected of . Indiana requires either name , address , and date of birth , or driver 's license , if on the person 's possession , and only applies if the person was stopped for an infraction or ordinance violation . Arizona law , apparently written specifically to codify the holding in Hiibel , requires a person 's `` true full name '' . Nevada law , which requires a person to `` identify himself or herself '' , apparently requires only that the person state his or her name . Texas law requires a person to provide their name , residence address and date of birth if lawfully arrested and asked by police . ( A detained person or witness of a crime is not required to provide any identifying information , however it is a crime for a detained person or witness to give a false name . ) In four states ( Arkansas , Florida , Georgia , and Rhode Island ) , failure to identify oneself is one factor to be considered in a decision to arrest . In all but Rhode Island , the consideration arises in the context of loitering or prowling . Seven states ( Arizona , Florida , Indiana , Louisiana , New Mexico , Ohio , and Vermont ) explicitly impose a criminal penalty for noncompliance with the obligation to identify oneself . As of February 2011 , the validity of a law requiring that a person detained provide anything more than stating his or her name has not come before the U.S. Supreme Court . Interaction with other laws ( edit ) In states whose `` stop and identify laws '' do not directly impose penalties , a lawful arrest must be for violation of some other law , such as one to the effect of `` resisting , obstructing , or delaying a peace officer '' . For example , the Nevada `` stop and identify '' law challenged in Hiibel did not impose a penalty on a person who refused to comply , but the Justice Court of Union Township , Nevada , determined that Hiibels refusal to identify himself constituted a violation of Nevada `` obstructing '' law . A similar conclusion regarding the interaction between Utah `` stop and identify '' and `` obstructing '' laws was reached in Oliver v. Woods ( 10th Cir. 2000 ) . Interpretation by courts ( edit ) `` Stop and identify '' laws in different states that appear to be nearly identical may be different in effect because of interpretations by state courts . For example , California `` stop and identify '' law , Penal Code § 647 ( e ) had wording similar to the Nevada law upheld in Hiibel , but a California appellate court , in People v. Solomon ( 1973 ) , 33 Cal. App. 3d 429 construed the law to require `` credible and reliable '' identification that carries a `` reasonable assurance '' of its authenticity . Using this construction , the U.S. Supreme Court held the law to be void for vagueness in Kolender v. Lawson , 461 U.S. 352 ( 1983 ) . Some courts have recognized a distinction authorizing police to demand identifying information and specifically imposing an obligation of a suspect to respond . Other courts have apparently interpreted demand to impose an obligation on the detainee to comply . Wording and interpretation by state courts of `` obstructing '' laws also varies ; for example , New York `` obstructing '' law apparently requires physical rather than simply verbal obstruction ; likewise , a violation of the Colorado `` obstructing '' law appears to require use or threat of use of physical force . However , the Colorado Supreme Court held in Dempsey v. People , No. 04SC362 ( 2005 ) ( PDF ) that refusing to provide identification was an element in the `` totality of the circumstances '' that could constitute obstructing an officer , even when actual physical interference was not employed . Utah `` obstructing '' law does not require a physical act , but merely a failure to follow a `` lawful order ... necessary to effect the ... detention '' ; a divided court in Oliver v. Woods concluded that failure to present identification constituted a violation of that law . It is not universally agreed that , absent a `` stop and identify law '' , there is no obligation for a detainee to identify himself . For example , as the U.S. Supreme Court noted in Hiibel , California `` stop and identify '' statute was voided in Kolender v. Lawson . But in People v. Long , decided four years after Kolender , a California appellate court found no constitutional impropriety in a police officer 's demand for written identification from a detainee . The issue before the Long court was a request for suppression of evidence uncovered in a search of the defendant 's wallet , so the issue of refusal to present identification was not directly addressed ; however , the author of the Long opinion had apparently concluded in a 1980 case that failure to identify oneself did not provide a basis for arrest . Nonetheless , some cite Long in maintaining that refusal to present written identification constitutes obstructing an officer . Others disagree , and maintain that persons detained by police in California can not be compelled to identify themselves . Some courts , e.g. , State v. Flynn ( Wis . 1979 ) and People v. Loudermilk ( Calif. 1987 ) have held that police may perform a search for written identification if a suspect refuses to provide it ; a later California decision , People v. Garcia ( 2006 ) strongly disagreed . In the case of Utah v. Strieff ( 2016 ) , the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that an officer 's stop of Edward Strieff and his demand for identification from Strieff was unlawful under Utah state law , but that the evidence collected pursuant to the stop was admissible due to the determination that Strieff was subject to a pre-existing arrest warrant . Therefore , the pre-existing warrant `` attenuated '' the unlawful stop - and - identify . Recommendations of legal - aid organizations ( edit ) Some legal organizations , such as the National Lawyers Guild and the ACLU of Northern California , recommend to either remain silent or to identify oneself whether or not a jurisdiction has a `` stop and identify '' law : And in any state , police do not always follow the law , and refusing to give your name may make them suspicious and lead to your arrest , so use your judgment . If you fear that your name may be incriminating , you can claim the right to remain silent , and if you are arrested , this may help you later . Giving a false name could be a crime . In a more recent pamphlet , the ACLU of Northern California elaborated on this further , recommending that a person detained by police should : ... give your name and the information on your drivers ' license . If you do n't , you may be arrested , even though the arrest may be illegal . Other countries ( edit ) Main article : List of national identity card policies by country Many countries allow police to demand identification and arrest people who do not carry any . Normally these countries provide all residents with national identity cards , which have the identity information the police would want to know , including citizenship . Foreign visitors need to have their passport available to show at all times . In some cases national identity cards from certain other countries are accepted . For example , in Portugal it is compulsory to carry the state ID card at all times . This card named Cartão de Cidadão - Citizen Card is an electronic card which includes biometric information , id number , social security number , fiscal information , place of birth , etc . Police can only ask for the ID card in public or a place open to public and only if there is a reasonable suspicion the person committed a crime . A certified copy of the ID card can be presented in such situations . If a citizen does not carry the ID card or its certified copy , the police will escort the person to the police department to remain detained until clear identification can be obtained . See also ( edit ) Brown v. Texas Hiibel v. Sixth Judicial District Court of Nevada Kolender v. Lawson Miranda v. Arizona Loitering Notes ( edit ) Jump up ^ Although police and police officer are used throughout this article , most `` stop and identify '' laws use the term peace officer ( or sometimes law enforcement officer ) . In general , peace officers are state civil officers charged with preserving the public peace and granted the authority to do so . Peace officers normally include police officers , sheriffs and sheriffs ' deputies , marshals , constables , and often many other persons ; those included vary among the states . Jump up ^ In upholding Hiibel 's conviction , the Court noted , In this case petitioner 's refusal to disclose his name was not based on any articulated real and appreciable fear that his name would be used to incriminate him ... As best we can tell , petitioner refused to identify himself only because he thought his name was none of the officer 's business . -- 542 U.S. at 190 But the Court did leave open the possibility of different circumstances : Still , a case may arise where there is a substantial allegation that furnishing identity at the time of a stop would have given the police a link in the chain of evidence needed to convict the individual of a separate offense . In that case , the court can then consider whether the privilege applies , and , if the Fifth Amendment has been violated , what remedy must follow . We need not resolve those questions here . -- 542 U.S. at 191 Jump up ^ Writing for the Court in Hiibel v. Sixth Judicial District Court of Nevada , Justice Kennedy stated , Here the Nevada statute is narrower and more precise . The statute in Kolender had been interpreted to require a suspect to give the officer `` credible and reliable '' identification . In contrast , the Nevada Supreme Court has interpreted NRS § 171.123 ( 3 ) to require only that a suspect disclose his name . -- 542 U.S. at 184 -- 185 Justice Kennedy continued , As we understand it , the statute does not require a suspect to give the officer a drivers license or any other document . Provided that the suspect either states his name or communicates it to the officer by other means -- a choice , we assume , that the suspect may make -- the statute is satisfied and no violation occurs . -- 542 U.S. at 185 Writing for the Nevada Supreme Court in Hiibel v. Dist . Ct. , Chief Justice Young said , The suspect is not required to provide private details about his background , but merely to state his name to an officer when reasonable suspicion exists . -- 118 Nev . 868 at 875 Jump up ^ Writing for the Court in Terry v. Ohio , Chief Justice Warren stated , And in justifying the particular intrusion the police officer must be able to point to specific and articulable facts which , taken together with rational inferences from those facts , reasonably warrant that intrusion . -- 392 U.S. at 21 Jump up ^ Writing for the Court in Florida v. Royer 460 U.S. 491 ( 1983 ) , Justice White stated , The person approached , however , need not answer any question put to him ; indeed , he may decline to listen to the questions at all and may go on his way . -- 460 U.S. at 497 -- 498 Jump up ^ Writing for the Court in United States v. Mendenhall , 446 U.S. 544 ( 1980 ) Justice Stewart stated , Our conclusion that no seizure occurred is not affected by the fact that the respondent was not expressly told by the agents that she was free to decline to cooperate with their inquiry , for the voluntariness of her responses does not depend upon her having been so informed . -- 446 U.S. at 555 Jump up ^ The ACLU publication Know Your Rights When Encountering Law Enforcement states , You can say , `` I do not want to talk to you '' and walk away calmly . Or , if you do not feel comfortable doing that , you can ask if you are free to go . If the answer is yes , you can consider just walking away . Do not run from the officer . If the officer says you are not under arrest , but you are not free to go , then you are being detained . Jump up ^ If the encounter is consensual , a person approached need not actually leave to terminate the encounter , but may simply ignore police . In Michigan v. Chesternut , 486 U.S. 567 ( 1988 ) , Justice Blackmun explained the Court 's holding that Chesternut had not been detained , stating that the police conduct `` would not have communicated to a reasonable person that he was not at liberty to ignore the police presence and go about his business . '' -- 486 U.S. at 569 Jump up ^ Writing for the Court in United States v. Mendenhall , 446 U.S. 544 ( 1980 ) Justice Stewart stated : We conclude that a person has been `` seized '' within the meaning of the Fourth Amendment only if , in view of all of the circumstances surrounding the incident , a reasonable person would have believed that he was not free to leave . -- 446 U.S. at 554 Jump up ^ In a concurring opinion in Terry v. Ohio , Justice White stated that a person detained can be questioned but is `` not obliged to answer , answers may not be compelled , and refusal to answer furnishes no basis for an arrest . '' This opinion , in turn , was cited in many later cases , including Berkemer v. McCarty , 468 U.S. 420 ( 1984 ) . Jump up ^ In describing the split authority among the federal appellate court circuits in Hiibel v. Dist . Ct. , the Nevada Supreme Court stated : In Oliver v. Woods , ( 209 F. 3d 1179 , 1190 ( 10th Cir. 2000 ) ) the Tenth Circuit Court of Appeals upheld a Utah statute that requires individuals to produce identification to an officer during an investigatory stop . However , in Carey v. Nevada Gaming Control Board ( 279 F. 3d 873 , 881 ( 9th Cir. 2002 ) ) , the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals held that NRS 171.123 ( 3 ) violates the Fourth Amendment because `` ' the serious intrusion on personal security outweighs the mere possibility that identification ( might ) provide a link leading to arrest . ' '' Jump up ^ In Hiibel v. Dist . Ct. , the Nevada Supreme Court noted that the U.S. Supreme Court declined to address the issue of identification in Brown v. Texas , 443 U.S. 47 ( 1979 ) , at 53 n. 3 ( `` We need not decide whether an individual may be punished for refusing to identify himself in the context of a lawful investigatory stop which satisfies Fourth Amendment requirements . '' ) ; and Kolender v. Lawson , 461 U.S. 352 ( 1983 ) , 361 -- 62 n. 10 ( holding that a California statute was unconstitutional on vagueness grounds , but refusing to consider whether the statute violated the Fourth Amendment ) . Jump up ^ Texas does not require a detainee to identify himself unless he has been lawfully arrested , but does make it a crime to provide a false name . Texas Penal Code § 38.02 reads , in relevant part , ( b ) A person commits an offense if he intentionally gives a false or fictitious name , residence address , or date of birth to a peace officer who has : ( 1 ) lawfully arrested the person ; ( 2 ) lawfully detained the person ; or ( 3 ) requested the information from a person that the peace officer has good cause to believe is a witness to a criminal offense .

Giving false information is a related , and usually more serious offense ( under Subsection ( b ) , noted above ) , and applies to detainees as well as arrestees . Jump up ^ In People v. Quiroga ( 1993 ) 16 Cal. App. 4th 961 , the Court held that refusal to disclose one 's identity following a felony arrest constituted obstructing an officer : These statutory provisions lead to the conclusion that a refusal to disclose personal identification following arrest for a misdemeanor or infraction can not constitute a violation of ( California ) Penal Code section 148 ... Section 148 can reasonably be construed as applying to nondisclosure of identity following arrest for felonies , but not minor offenses , if this exception applies to the provisions cited above dealing with arrests for minor offenses. -- 16 Cal. App. 4th 961 , 970 Similar refusal following arrest for a misdemeanor or infraction did not violate the statute because the Legislature had `` established other ways of dealing with such nondisclosure '' .

Also , do not confuse Penal Code § 647 ( e ) with Penal Code § 647e . Jump up ^ ( voided in Kolender v.

( e ) who loiters or wanders upon the streets or from place to place without apparent reason or business and who refuses to identify himself and to account for his presence when requested by any peace officer so to do , if the surrounding circumstances are such as to indicate to a reasonable man that the public safety demands such identification . Jump up ^ In voiding California Penal Code § 647 ( e ) in Kolender v. Lawson , Justice O'Connor , writing for the Court , noted that Section 647 ( e ) , as presently drafted and as construed by the state courts , contains no standard for determining what a suspect has to do in order to satisfy the requirement to provide a `` credible and reliable '' identification . As such , the statute vests virtually complete discretion in the hands of the police to determine whether the suspect has satisfied the statute . -- 461 U.S. at 358 Jump up ^ Writing for the Court in People v. Love , 318 Ill. App. 3d 534 ( 2000 ) , rev 'd on other grounds , People v. Love , No. 90806 ( 2002 ) , Justice O'Brien stated , The State next argues that the officer 's order was a justifiable means of compelling defendant to state her name pursuant to section 107 - 14 , which provides that an officer making a Terry stop may `` demand the name and address of the person and an explanation of his actions . '' 725 ILCS 5 / 107 - 14 ( West 1992 ) . However , while section 107 - 14 states that an officer may `` demand '' the defendant 's name , it does not provide that the officer may compel a response . Further , the United States Supreme Court has stated in the context of a Terry stop : `` ( T ) he officer may ask the detainee a moderate number of questions to determine his identity and to try to obtain information confirming or dispelling the officer 's suspicions . But the detainee is not obliged to respond . '' ( Emphasis added . ) Berkemer v. McCarty , 468 U.S. 420 , 438 , 82 L. Ed . 2d 317 , 334 , 104 S. Ct. 3138 , 3150 ( 1984 ) . Noting Berkemer v. McCarty ( and Justice White 's concurring opinion in Terry that Berkemer quoted ) , the Hiibel Court stated , `` We do not read these statements as controlling '' ( 542 U.S. at 187 ) , so Love is probably weakened to the extent that it relies on Berkemer . Jump up ^ In Cady v. Sheahan ( 7th Cir. 2006 ) , the Court stated , In Hiibel , the Supreme Court held that states are permitted to statutorily authorize the demand for identification during a Terry stop , and to require compliance with such demand . 542 U.S. at 188 , 124 S. Ct. 2451 . Cady 's identity was relevant to the purpose of the stop and the officers did not exceed the scope of the stop by requesting identification .

Woods , 209 F. 3d 1179 ( 10th Cir. 2000 ) , Judge Brorby stated , Section 76 - 8 - 305 does not require the use of force ; mere refusal to perform any act required by a lawful order necessary to effect the detention is sufficient to constitute a violation of § 76 - 8 - 305 . Moreover , an individual who merely refuses to refrain from performing any act that would impede the arrest or detention violates this section ...

Jump up ^ In People v. Long ( 1987 ) 189 Cal. App. 3d 77 , Justice Agliano wrote , The voluntary display of identification is a routine experience for most of us . Measured against the obvious and substantial need for police recording the identity of a person suspected of having committed a crime , we find reasonable the minimal intrusion involved here in requiring the production of identification . In addition , defendant 's oral statement of his name was suspect when he insisted he had no identification while appearing to carry a wallet and , in addition , he seemed intoxicated. -- 189 Cal. App. 3d at 88 Jump up ^ In In re Gregory S. ( 1980 ) , 112 Cal. App. 3d 764 , Justice Agliano wrote We find no authority to support the court 's legal conclusion that a person who merely refuses to identify himself or to answer questions in a context similar to that before us thereby violates Penal Code section 148 or otherwise furnishes ground for arrest . The Legislature has required citizen self - identification in prescribed situations . Vehicle Code section 40302 calls for the production of a driver 's license or identification upon arrest for a violation of that code ; Vehicle Code section 12951 requires production of a driver 's license by the driver of a motor vehicle upon the request of an officer . Penal Code section 647 , subdivision ( e ) imposes a duty to identify oneself when such person loiters or wanders upon the streets or from place to place without apparent reason or business , and the surrounding circumstances reasonably indicate that the public safety demands identification . Section 647 , subdivision ( e ) was held valid in People v. Solomon ( 1973 ) 33 Cal. App. 3d 429 ( 108 Cal. Rptr. 867 ) , in which strong consideration was given to the legislatively declared governmental purpose to be served by identification when the conditions described in the statute exist . ( Id , at p. 436 ; see also California v. Byers ( 1971 ) 402 U.S. 424 ( 29 L. Ed. 2d 9 , 91 S. Ct. 1535 ) . ) None of the statutory conditions requiring identification existed in this case . -- 112 Cal. App. 3d at 779 Note : Penal Code 647 , subdivision ( e ) was voided by the U.S. Supreme Court in Kolender v. Lawson ( 1983 ) . Jump up ^ Shortly after Hiibel was decided , the Alameda County ( California ) District Attorney 's Office provided a case analysis ( PDF ) maintaining that refusal to identify oneself and provide written identification ( if available ) constitutes a violation of Penal Code § 148 ( a ) ( 1 ) , resisting , delaying , or obstructing an officer . The topic is further discussed in the 2010 edition of Point of View . Jump up ^ The California Peace Officers Legal Sourcebook ( `` CPOLS '' ; written by the office of the California Attorney General ) maintains that failure to identify oneself does not constitute a violation of California Penal Code § 148 ( a ) ( 1 ) , resisting , delaying , or obstructing a peace officer : Unlike Nevada and other states , California does not have a statute mandating that a detainee identify himself , and that obligation can not be read into Penal Code section 148 ... Hiibel does not provide a means of arresting someone for failing or refusing to identify himself . ( Revision 176 , 9 / 15 / 2014 , p. 2.14 a ; page last revised 1 / 10 ) Jump up ^ In State v. Flynn ( 1979 ) 92 Wis. 2d 427 ( 285 N.W. 2d 710 , 718 ) , cert. den . 449 U.S. 846 , the Wisconsin Supreme Court held that the Terry limitation of a search `` to an intrusion reasonably designed to discover guns , knives , clubs , or other hidden instruments for the assault of the police officer . '' ( 392 U.S. at 29 ) was limited to the specific circumstances of Terry . Chief Justice Beilfuss wrote , It is clear from the language itself that the court 's holding in Terry was limited to the precise situation before it . The court did not say that the sole justification for any search on less than probable cause is the protection of the police officer and others , but that that was the sole justification of the search in the situation then before it . The situation before us is significantly different . Jump up ^ In People v. Loudermilk ( 1987 ) 195 Cal. App. 3d 996 , Justice Low stated , Neither case ( Kolender v. Lawson or Brown v. Texas ) could be interpreted to prevent a police officer from demanding that a Terry suspect produce proof of identification . Further , nothing in those or other cases cited by defendant prevents an officer from seizing a wallet found during a lawful patdown search after that suspect has lied to the officer that he had no identification . -- 195 Cal. App. 3d at 1003 Justice Low noted the similarity to Flynn , and continued , We must emphasize that we do not hold that a suspect may be detained and searched merely because he either refused to identify himself or refused to produce proof of identification . Nor do we hold that each time an officer conducts a Terry stop he may immediately conduct a search for identification . The rule we announce does not provide officers with unfettered discretion and does not open citizens to harassment. -- 195 Cal. App. 3d at 1004 Jump up ^ In People v. Garcia ( 2006 ) 145 Cal. App. 4th 782 , Justice Yegan , noting State v. Flynn ( Wis . 1979 ) and State v. Wilcox ( N.J. 1981 ) , stated , We need not look to other jurisdictions to decide this case . We would have to indulge in legal legerdemain to justify a patdown search for identification . In fact , it would require a rewriting of Terry v. Ohio , supra , which we could not and would not undertake even if we were so inclined . Here , the record is devoid of any concern that appellant was armed and dangerous . The sole reason for the patdown was to gather evidence of identification . A fair reading of Terry v. Ohio , and its reference to the lower court opinion in State v. Terry show that the `` frisk '' allowable upon a proper showing was `` ' ... only a `` frisk '' for a dangerous weapon . It by no means authorizes a search for contraband , evidentiary material , or anything else in the absence of reasonable grounds to arrest . Such a search is controlled by requirements of the Fourth Amendment , and probable cause is essential . ' `` ( Terry v. Ohio , supra , 392 U.S. at p. 16 , fn. 12 ( 20 L. Ed . 2d at p. 903 , fn. 12 . ) Our own Supreme Court has unanimously so held . ( People v.

The band currently consists of lead vocalist Hayley Williams , guitarist Taylor York and drummer Zac Farro . Williams and Farro are founding members of the group , while York , a high school friend of the original lineup , joined in 2007 . Williams is the only member to appear on all five of Paramore 's studio albums and has been the only constant member of the band . The group released its debut album All We Know Is Falling in 2005 , with the album reaching number eight on the UK Rock Chart and number thirty on Billboard 's Heatseekers Chart . While it only had a minimal commercial performance initially , the album and its lead single `` Pressure '' were eventually certified Gold by the RIAA after the success of the band 's later material . The band 's second album , Riot ! , was released in 2007 . Due to the success of the singles `` Misery Business '' , `` Crushcrushcrush '' , and `` That 's What You Get '' , Riot ! was a mainstream success and was certified Platinum in the United States . They then received a Best New Artist nomination at the 2008 Grammy Awards . Their 2009 follow - up , Brand New Eyes , is the band 's second - highest charting album to date , landing at number two on the Billboard 200 with 175,000 first week sales . It produced the top - forty single `` The Only Exception '' and went platinum in Ireland and the UK , as well as gold in the US , Canada , Australia , and New Zealand . Following the departure of Josh and Zac Farro in 2010 , the band released their self - titled fourth album in 2013 . It gave the band their first career number one on the US Billboard 200 and was also the number one album in the United Kingdom , Ireland , Australia , New Zealand , Brazil , Argentina and Mexico . It included the singles `` Still Into You '' and `` Ai n't It Fun '' , with the latter winning the Grammy Award for Best Rock Song for Hayley Williams and Taylor York as songwriters , making it Paramore 's first Grammy win . The band 's lineup changed once again after this album cycle with bassist Jeremy Davis leaving the band near the end of 2015 and former drummer Zac Farro rejoining the band in 2017 . Their fifth studio album After Laughter was released later that year .

Shortly after arriving , she began taking vocal lessons with Brett Manning . Prior to forming Paramore , Williams and bassist Jeremy Davis , along with friend Kimee Read , took part in a funk cover band called The Factory , while Josh and Zac Farro had practiced together after school . The other members of what was soon to be Paramore had been `` edgy about the whole female thing '' of having Williams as vocalist , but , because they were good friends , she started writing for them . Williams said of the members when she first met them , `` They were the first people I met who were as passionate about music as I was . '' The band was officially formed by Josh Farro ( lead guitar / backing vocals ) , Zac Farro ( drums ) , Davis ( bass guitar ) and Williams ( lead vocals ) in 2004 , with the later addition of Williams ' neighbor Jason Bynum ( rhythm guitar ) . When Davis showed up , he was stunned to find out the drummer was only twelve years old . He admitted `` I had very , very , very , little faith in everyone in the band because of their age . I remember thinking , ' This is not going to work because this kid is way too young , ' but that first day of practice was amazing . I knew we were on to something . '' According to Williams , the name `` Paramore '' came from the maiden name of the mother of one of their first bass players . Once the group learned the meaning of the homophone `` paramour '' ( `` secret lover '' ) , they decided to adopt the name , using the Paramore spelling . Williams was originally signed to Atlantic Records as a solo artist in 2003 . She had been introduced to Atlantic A&R Tom Storms by Kent Marcus and Jim Zumwalt , lawyers of managers Dave Steunebrink and Richard Williams , and then eventually signed to Atlantic by Jason Flom . Steunebrink and Richard Williams had originally discovered and signed her to a production deal that was later bought out by Atlantic . The original plan of the label was to turn her into a pop singer , but Williams resisted , saying that she wanted to play alternative rock music with a band . In an interview with HitQuarters the band 's A&R at Atlantic , Steve Robertson , said , `` She wanted to make sure that we did n't look at her as some straight to Top 40 pop princess . She wanted to make sure that she and her band got the chance to show what they can do as a rock band writing their own songs . '' Label president Julie Greenwald and the label staff decided to go with her wishes . The original management team for the band was Dave Steunebrink , Creed manager Jeff Hanson , and Hanson 's assistant Mark Mercado . Paramore was originally supposed to release their music on Atlantic Records , but the label 's marketing department decided it would be better for the image of the band to not have them attached to a major label . Instead , they released their music through the niche label Fueled by Ramen . Lyor Cohen , the head of Warner Music Group , had already identified Fueled by Ramen as a label they should partner with . It was decided the rock label would make an ideal match for Paramore . According to Robertson , when the band was presented to Fueled by Ramen 's CEO John Janick , `` he got the vision of the band immediately . '' Janick went to a Taste of Chaos performance in Orlando , Florida to see the band perform live . In April 2005 , after a smaller private performance at a warehouse , the band was signed to Atlantic Records and Fueled By Ramen . The band 's first song written together was `` Conspiracy '' , which was later used on their debut album . At this time , they were touring the southeast , usually being driven by Williams ' parents . She commented that `` Back then , I guess we were all thinking , after school , we 'll go to the house and practice . It was what we loved to do for fun , and still do ! I do n't think any of us really knew this would turn out to be what it 's become . '' 2005 -- 2006 : All we Know is Falling Paramore performing in Portland , Oregon , 2006 Paramore traveled back to Orlando , Florida , but shortly after arriving , Jeremy Davis left the band , citing personal reasons . The remaining four members of Paramore continued with the album , writing `` All We Know '' about his departure , and later deciding to base All We Know Is Falling around the concept . The album artwork also reflected Paramore 's grief as Hayley Williams explains , `` The couch on the cover of All We Know is Falling with no one there and the shadow walking away ; it 's all about Jeremy leaving us and us feeling like there 's an empty space . '' Before touring , the band added John Hembree ( bass ) to their lineup to replace Davis . During that summer , Paramore was featured on the Shira Girl stage of the 2005 Warped Tour . After being asked by the band , Jeremy Davis returned to Paramore after five months apart , replacing Hembree . All We Know Is Falling was released on July 24 , 2005 , and reached No. 30 on the Billboard 's Heatseekers Chart . Paramore released `` Pressure '' as its first single , with a video directed by Shane Drake , but the song failed to chart . The video featured the band performing in a warehouse , eventually getting sprayed with water sprinklers as the storyline of a conflicted couple occurs . In July , `` Emergency '' was released as the second single , the video again reuniting the band with director Shane Drake and featuring Hunter Lamb ( rhythm guitar ) , who replaced Jason Bynum in December 2005 . The video for `` Emergency '' showcased Paramore in another performance , this time fixing the members ' bloody costumes . The third single , `` All We Know '' , was released with limited airtime , with the video consisting of a collection of live performances and backstage footage . After the band 's later success , All We Know Is Falling and `` Pressure '' were certified Gold by the RIAA . In January 2006 , the band took part in the Winter Go West tour where they played alongside Seattle bands Amber Pacific and The Lashes .

That year they were voted `` Best New Band '' , and Hayley Williams was voted as No. 2 `` Sexiest Female '' , by readers of the British magazine Kerrang ! . In 2007 , Lamb left the group to get married , and Paramore continued onward as a quartet . Paramore was then named by British magazine NME as one of ten bands to watch out for in their `` New Noise 2007 '' feature . Paramore was featured in Kerrang ! magazine once more , however , Hayley Williams believed the article was an untrue portrayal of the band , particularly because it focused on her as the main component . Afterwards , Williams addressed the issue in the band 's LiveJournal , with a post saying , `` we could 've done without a cover piece . sorry , if it offends anyone at Kerrang ! but I do n't think there was one bit of truth in that article . '' In April , Hayley Williams ' vocals were featured in `` Then Came To Kill '' by The Chariot . They headlined a tour in April through May 2007 with This Providence , The Almost , and Love Arcade . The Almost and Love Arcade were replaced by Quietdrive for the second half of the tour . 2007 -- 2008 : Riot !

Before work began on the band 's next album , Davis was expelled from the band due to `` his lack of work ethic and participation in things that Zac , Hayley and I did n't agree with , '' according to Josh Farro . After an agreement involving the remaining three members , Davis was reinstated as bassist , and Taylor York became the band 's new guitarist . York had been in a band with the Farro brothers before the two met Williams .

The first single from the album , `` Misery Business '' , was released on June 21 , 2007 . According to Williams , `` Misery Business '' is `` more honest than anything I 've ever written , and the guys matched that emotion musically .

In early February 2008 , the band began a tour in Europe , however on February 21 , 2008 , the band announced that they had canceled six shows due to personal issues . Williams wrote on the band 's web site that `` the break will give that band ' a chance to get away and work out our personal issues ' '' . MTV.com reported that fans of Paramore were speculating about the future of the band and reported rumors of trouble had begun earlier in the month when Josh Farro expressed his anger against the media 's focus on Hayley Williams .

Talking to Kerrang ! , Farro said : `` We 're gon na try to ( record ) it in Nashville . I think writing the album there will inspire us , and then if we record there too it 'll be a lot easier since we can sleep in our beds at night rather than in hotels like the other 300 days out of the year ! We 're not sure who 's going to produce the record yet . We did `` Decode '' with ( producer ) Rob Cavallo , which was a good experience , but we 're looking around and do n't want to make any decisions until we have a lot of songs and we know what we 're looking for . We really enjoy our live sound and we want a producer who can really capture that . '' Paramore wrote and completed their third album Brand New Eyes in early 2009 . The first single from the album was `` Ignorance '' and was released July 7 , 2009 . Paramore was the special guest with Bedouin Soundclash , The Sounds and Janelle Monáe at the No Doubt Summer Tour 2009 , starting in May 2009 in outdoor amphitheaters and arenas across the US and Canada .

The band performed in 2010 in the Australian Soundwave Festival along with bands such as Faith No More , Placebo , You Me at Six , All Time Low , Jimmy Eat World and Taking Back Sunday . Shortly before the tour , lead guitarist Josh Farro announced via the band 's LiveJournal that he was engaged and stayed behind to plan his wedding . Justin York , brother of Taylor York , filled in for him on the tour . The band , with Farro returned , embarked on a spring tour of the U.S. in late April .

The band were set to take a break after their South American Tour in 2011 to write for their fourth studio album . On December 18 , 2010 , a message from Hayley , Jeremy , and Taylor was released through Paramore.net stating that Josh and Zac were leaving the band . The band also confirmed the scheduled South American tour would still happen . Josh Farro wrote a statement on the departure on his Blogger , claiming that the band was `` a manufactured product of a major - label . '' He accused Hayley Williams of being manipulated by her management , treating the rest of the group as her solo project , and claimed she was the only member of the band who was signed to Atlantic Records , while her bandmates were simply `` riding on the coattails of her dream '' . On December 30 , 2010 , MTV News interviewed Williams , York and Davis in Franklin , Tennessee regarding their reactions to Farro 's response . The interview aired on MTV.com on January 7 , 2011 as Paramore : The Last Word . While the band confirmed many of Farro 's statements , notably that Williams was indeed the only member of the band actually signed to Atlantic , they said they felt the statement was irrelevant , adding that they had addressed many of the claims made already throughout the course of their career . Paramore in the Brand New Eyes World Tour at the Warfield in San Francisco On January 10 , 2011 , in an interview with MTV , Hayley Williams said that despite the band losing two of its founding members , they would release new music in 2011 , although they had not confirmed if it would be a full album for release or just a small number of songs . The singer also admitted that Paramore 's style was likely to change with the new lineup , but clarified that the band would still retain their core signature sound . The band entered the studio upon returning from their South American tour to record a batch of songs that were released over the summer , prior to their fourth full - length album . One of the songs included `` In the Mourning '' , which Williams debuted on her Tumblr page . Paramore later confirmed they were entering a studio in Los Angeles with producer Rob Cavallo to record what would be the Singles Club .

On June 9 , 2011 , Hayley Williams announced that the band had started to write their fourth album , which they hoped to start recording at the end of the year , with an early 2012 release . On October 11 , 2011 , Paramore announced that they would release a new song for each of the remaining months of 2011 . The band set up the Singles Club on their website which gave fans the chance to purchase the singles when they were released , as they were released exclusively through the Singles Club and were therefore not sold elsewhere . A song called `` Renegade '' , premiered the day of the announcement , with `` Hello Cold World '' following on November 7 and `` In the Mourning '' on December 5 . 2012 -- 2015 : Paramore and Davis ' second Exit Main article : Paramore ( album ) On April 18 , 2012 , Williams announced that the producer for their fourth album was Justin Meldal - Johnsen .

The third single , `` Daydreaming '' , was released on December 2 , 2013 . The album 's fourth single , `` Ai n't It Fun '' , was released on February 4 , 2014 , eventually becoming the band 's highest charting song in the United States and a winner for Best Rock Song at the 57th Annual Grammy Awards . On November 24 , 2014 , Paramore : Self - Titled Deluxe was released , which includes a remake of `` Hate to See Your Heart Break , '' a song originally on Paramore , featuring Joy Williams ; this is the band 's first collaboration on a song . The band embarked on the `` Writing the Future '' tour with Copeland , they said in a blog post that `` It feels right to bring the Self - Titled era to a close . We 've had a very personal and hugely triumphant journey with this one . What would n't feel right is saying goodbye to this time in the band 's career and not celebrating it with our fans in some special way . '' On December 14 , 2015 , bassist Jeremy Davis left the band . In March 2016 , Davis embroiled in a legal battle with Paramore , claiming to be eligible to enjoy the benefits of a business partnership with Hayley Williams as a co-owner of the band . This was quickly dismissed and he was embroiled in a legal battle with Hayley Williams and Taylor York over a breach of contract entitling him to ownership and authorship of songs on their Self - Titled record , including `` Ai n't It Fun , '' and again , claiming to be eligible to enjoy the benefits of the earnings the two received from these songs , and album . Davis reached a settlement with the band in April 2017 . 2016 -- present : Zac Farro 's return and after Laughter On January 19 , 2016 , Williams announced over Twitter that the band was in the process of writing their fifth album . On June 8 , 2016 , the band posted a short video of themselves in a studio to their social media . This was preceded by a number of images which all included both former drummer Zac Farro and producer Justin Meldal - Johnsen , leading fans and various media outlets to speculate the return of Farro . On June 17 , Farro was featured yet again in a picture uploaded to social media , this time behind a drum set , confirming that he would be recording drums for the album , though he later clarified that he was only recording drums for the album and that he had not rejoined the band as a full member . Despite this , on February 2 , 2017 , the band announced that Farro would return as the official drummer of the band . On April 19 , 2017 , Paramore released `` Hard Times '' as the lead single from their album After Laughter , which they announced would be released on May 12 , 2017 . On May 3 , a second single was released , titled `` Told You So '' . A music video for the song `` Fake Happy '' was released on November 17 , 2017 .

Musical style and influences Paramore in Vancouver 2009 `` Now '' 17 second sample from Paramore 's `` Now '' Problems playing this file ? See media help . Paramore 's music style has generally been regarded as alternative rock , pop punk , pop rock , power pop , emo pop , and emo . Joshua Martin had written after an interview with Hayley Williams , `` The band is n't just a short pop - punk girl with red hair and a spunky attitude . Their music is like them , it 's aged differently . It 's sped up , and slowed down . It 's emo without being whiny , or bratty . Almost a very literal anti-Avril Lavigne . '' Alternative Press magazine had commented that the band was `` young sounding '' , while consistently being `` honest . '' Paramore 's first album All We Know is Falling had an arguably more `` formulaic pop - punk '' sound that was `` delivered particularly well '' and the combination of the two had created a `` refined rock infused pop / punk album . '' The band 's second release , Riot ! was said to explore a ' diverse range of styles , '' however , not straying far from `` their signature sound . '' The band 's later albums , such as Paramore and After Laughter , included more of a new wave and synth - pop sound . Williams and Taylor York performing with Paramore , 2013 Alternative Press and various other reviewers have noted that the band 's stage performances have helped boost them to larger fame . Alternative Press states that Williams `` has more charisma than singers twice her age , and her band are n't far behind in their chops , either . '' Singer - songwriter John Mayer had praised Williams ' voice in a blog in October 2007 , calling her `` The great orange hope '' ; `` orange '' in reference to her hair color . Due to the female fronted aspect of the band , Paramore has gained comparisons to Kelly Clarkson and the aforementioned Avril Lavigne , to which one reviewer said was `` sorely unfounded . '' Reviewer Jonathan Bradley noted that `` Paramore attacks its music with infectious enthusiasm . '' However , he also explained that `` there is n't a whole lot of difference between Riot ! and the songs from Kelly Clarkson or Avril Lavigne . '' A reviewer at NME had likened Paramore 's sound to that of `` No Doubt ( stripped of all the ska bollocks ) '' and `` Kelly Clarkson 's wildest dreams . '' Hayley Williams has gone on to comment about the female aspect of the band saying that Paramore is not `` this girl - fronted band '' and it makes `` music for people to enjoy music , not so people can talk about my sexuality . '' Paramore has expressed appreciation for Fall Out Boy , Hanson , Panic ! at the Disco , Blink - 182 , Death Cab for Cutie , Jimmy Eat World , MewithoutYou , and Sunny Day Real Estate , as well as Thrice and New Found Glory ; Hayley Williams has cited her personal influences as Elvis Presley , the Shirelles , the Angels , the Ramones , Blondie , Aaliyah , Robert Smith of The Cure and Etta James . Williams named many singers as heroines : `` I love Debbie Harry and Siouxsie Sioux . I grew up listening to The Distillers ( ... ) Girl groups are really important to me , but the Shangri - Las especially '' . Williams also explained that bands such as U2 , `` who are massive , and do whatever they want , write whatever they want and they stand for something , '' Jimmy Eat World , `` who I do n't think ever disappoint their fans , '' and No Doubt , who `` have done amazing things , '' act as a pattern for the path in which Paramore would like to take their career . In 2012 , Williams contributed vocals to MewithoutYou 's fifth studio album , Ten Stories . The band members are Christians and in an interview with the BBC , Josh Farro stated `` Our faith is very important to us . It 's obviously going to come out in our music because if someone believes something , then their worldview is going to come out in anything they do . But we 're not out here to preach to kids , we 're out here because we love music .

( November 2016 ) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message ) In law , a reasonable person , reasonable man , or the man on the Clapham omnibus is a hypothetical person of legal fiction who is ultimately an anthropomorphic representation of the body care standards crafted by the courts and communicated through case law and jury instructions . Strictly according to the fiction , it is misconceived for a party to seek evidence from actual people in order to establish how the reasonable man would have acted or what he would have foreseen . This person 's character and care conduct under any common set of facts , is decided through reasoning of good practice or policy -- or `` learned '' permitting there is a compelling consensus of public opinion -- by high courts . In some practices , for circumstances arising from an uncommon set of facts , this person is seen to represent a composite of a relevant community 's judgement as to how a typical member of said community should behave in situations that might pose a threat of harm ( through action or inaction ) to the public . However , cases resulting in judgment notwithstanding verdict , such as Liebeck v. McDonald 's Restaurants , can be examples where a vetted jury 's composite judgment were deemed outside that of the actual fictional reasonable person , and thus overruled . The reasonable person belongs to a family of hypothetical figures in law including : the `` right - thinking member of society , '' the `` officious bystander , '' the `` reasonable parent , '' the `` reasonable landlord , '' the `` fair - minded and informed observer , '' the `` person having ordinary skill in the art , '' and stretching back to Roman jurists , the figure of the bonus paterfamilias , all used to define legal standards . While there is a loose consensus in black letter law , there is no accepted technical definition . As with legal fiction in general , it is somewhat susceptible to ad hoc manipulation or transformation , and hence the `` reasonable person '' is an emergent concept of common law . The `` reasonable person '' is used as a tool to standardize , teach law students , or explain the law to a jury . As a legal fiction , the `` reasonable person '' is not an average person or a typical person , leading to great difficulties in applying the concept in some criminal cases , especially in regards to the partial defence of provocation . The standard also holds that each person owes a duty to behave as a reasonable person would under the same or similar circumstances . While the specific circumstances of each case will require varying kinds of conduct and degrees of care , the reasonable person standard undergoes no variation itself . The `` reasonable person '' construct can be found applied in many areas of the law . The standard performs a crucial role in determining negligence in both criminal law -- that is , criminal negligence -- and tort law . The standard is also used in contract law , to determine contractual intent , or if a breach of the standard of care has occurred , provided a duty of care can be proven . The intent of a party can be determined by examining the understanding of a reasonable person , after consideration is given to all relevant circumstances of the case including the negotiations , any practices the parties have established between themselves , usages and any subsequent conduct of the parties . The standard does not exist independently of other circumstances within a case that could affect an individual 's judgment .

His work is translated into English several ways . As a result , some authors pick `` average man '' , `` common man '' , `` reasonable man '' , or stick to the original `` l'homme moyen '' . Quetelet was a Belgian astronomer , mathematician , statistician and sociologist . He documented the physical characteristics of man on a statistical basis and discussed man 's motivations when acting in society . Two years later , the `` reasonable person '' made his first appearance in the English case of Vaughan v. Menlove ( 1837 ) . In Menlove , the defendant had stacked hay on his rental property in a manner prone to spontaneous ignition . After he had been repeatedly warned over the course of five weeks , the hay ignited and burned the defendant 's barns and stable and then spread to the landlord 's two cottages on the adjacent property . Menlove 's attorney admitted his client 's `` misfortune of not possessing the highest order of intelligence , '' arguing that negligence should only be found if the jury decided Menlove had not acted with `` bona fide ( and ) to the best of his ( own ) judgment . '' The Menlove court disagreed , reasoning that such a standard would be too subjective , instead preferring to set an objective standard for adjudicating cases : The care taken by a prudent man has always been the rule laid down ; and as to the supposed difficulty of applying it , a jury has always been able to say , whether , taking that rule as their guide , there has been negligence on the occasion in question . Instead , therefore , of saying that the liability for negligence should be co-extensive with the judgment of each individual , which would be as variable as the length of the foot of each individual , we ought rather to adhere to the rule which requires in all cases a regard to caution such as a man of ordinary prudence would observe . That was , in substance , the criterion presented to the jury in this case and , therefore , the present rule must be discharged . English courts upheld the standard again nearly 20 years later in Blyth v. Company Proprietors of the Birmingham Water Works , holding : Negligence is the omission to do something which a reasonable man , guided upon those considerations which ordinarily regulate the conduct of human affairs , would do , or doing something which a prudent and reasonable man would not do . Rationale ( edit ) American jurist Oliver Wendell Holmes , Jr. explained the theory behind the reasonable person standard as stemming from the impossibility of `` measuring a man 's powers and limitations . '' Individual , personal quirks inadvertently injuring the persons or property of others are no less damaging than intentional acts . For society to function , `` a certain average of conduct , a sacrifice of individual peculiarities going beyond a certain point , is necessary to the general welfare . '' Thus , a reasonable application of the law is sought , compatible with planning , working , or getting along with others . As such , `` his neighbors accordingly require him , at his proper peril , to come up to their standard , and the courts which they establish decline to take his personal equation into account . '' He heralded the reasonable person as a legal fiction whose care conduct under any common set of facts , is chosen -- or `` learned '' permitting there is a compelling consensus of public opinion -- by the courts . The reasonable person standard is by no means democratic in its scope ; it is , contrary to popular conception , intentionally distinct from that of the `` average person , '' who is not necessarily guaranteed to always be reasonable . The reasonable person will weigh all of the following factors before acting : the foreseeable risk of harm his actions create versus the utility of his actions ; the extent of the risk so created ; the likelihood such risk will actually cause harm to others ; any alternatives of lesser risk , and the costs of those alternatives . Taking such actions requires the reasonable person to be appropriately informed , capable , aware of the law , and fair - minded . Such a person might do something extraordinary in certain circumstances , but whatever that person does or thinks , it is always reasonable . The reasonable person has been called an `` excellent but odious character . '' He is an ideal , a standard , the embodiment of all those qualities which we demand of the good citizen ... ( he ) invariably looks where he is going , ... is careful to examine the immediate foreground before he executes a leap or bound ; ... neither stargazes nor is lost in meditation when approaching trapdoors or the margins of a dock ; ... never mounts a moving ( bus ) and does not alight from any car while the train is in motion , ... uses nothing except in moderation , and even flogs his child in meditating only on the golden mean . English legal scholar Percy Henry Winfield summarized much of the literature by observing that : ( H ) e has not the courage of Achilles , the wisdom of Ulysses or the strength of Hercules , nor has he the prophetic vision of a clairvoyant . He will not anticipate folly in all its forms but he never puts out of consideration the teachings of experience and so will guard against negligence of others when experience shows such negligence to be common . He is a reasonable man but not a perfect citizen , nor a `` paragon of circumspection ... '' Hand rule ( edit ) Main article : Calculus of negligence Under American common law , a well known -- though nonbinding -- test for determining how a reasonable person might weigh the criteria listed above was set down in United States v. Carroll Towing Co. in 1947 by the Chief Judge of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit , Learned Hand . The case concerned a barge that had broken her mooring with the dock . Writing for the court , Hand said : ( T ) he owner 's duty , as in other similar situations , to provide against resulting injuries is a function of three variables : ( 1 ) The probability that she will break away ; ( 2 ) the gravity of the resulting injury , if she does ; ( 3 ) the burden of adequate precautions . While the test offered by Hand does not encompass all the criteria available above , juries in a negligence case might well still be instructed to take the other factors into consideration in determining whether the defendant was negligent . Personal circumstances ( edit ) While the legal fiction of the reasonable person represents the ideal human actor , one would be hard - pressed to characterize any individual human as meeting the standard , whether in whole or in part , all of the time . Since some human actors have limitations , the standard only requires that people act similarly to how `` a reasonable person under the circumstance '' would , as if their limitations were themselves circumstances . As such , courts require that the reasonable person be viewed as experiencing the same limitations as the defendant . For example , a disabled defendant is held to a standard that , by necessity , represents how a reasonable person with that same disability would act . One should not mistake this allowance for physical limitations as an allowance for poor judgment , attempting acts beyond one 's abilities , or acting too quickly , etc . Were such allowances made for every defendant , there would be as many different standards for negligence as there were defendants ; and courts would spend innumerable hours , and the parties much more money , on determining that particular defendant 's reasonableness , character , and intelligence . By using the reasonable person standard , the courts instead use an objective tool and avoid such subjective evaluations . The result is a standard that allows the law to behave in a uniform , foreseeable , and neutral manner when attempting to determine liability . Children ( edit ) One broad allowance made to the reasonable person standard is for children . The standard here requires that a child act in a similar manner to how a `` reasonable person of like age , intelligence , and experience under like circumstances '' would act . In many common law systems , children under the age of 6 or 7 are typically exempt from any liability , whether civil or criminal , as they are deemed to be unable to understand the risk involved in their actions . This is called the defense of infancy : in Latin , doli incapax . In some jurisdictions , one of the exceptions to these allowances concern children engaged in what is primarily considered to be high - risk adult activity , such as operating a motor vehicle , and in some jurisdictions , children can also be `` tried as an adult '' for serious crimes , such as murder , which causes the court to disregard the defendant 's age . Mentally ill ( edit ) The reasonable person standard makes no allowance for the mentally ill . Such a refusal goes back to the standard set in Menlove , where Menlove 's attorney argued for the subjective standard . In the 170 years since , the law has kept to the legal judgment of having only the single , objective standard . Such judicial adherence sends a message that the mentally ill would do better to refrain from taking risk - creating actions , unless they exercise a heightened degree of self - restraint and precaution , if they intend to avoid liability . Generally , the courts have rationed that by not accepting mental illness as a bar to recovery , a liable third party , in the form of a caregiver , will be more likely to protect the public because of the potential for liability . The courts have also stated that the reasoning behind the harsh treatment is because , unlike children or the physically disabled , members of the public are unable to identify a person with a mental illness . Professionals ( edit ) In cases where a human actor utilizes a professional skill set , the `` reasonable person under the circumstances '' test becomes elevated to a standard of whether the person acted how a `` reasonable professional under the circumstances '' would have , without regard to whether that actor is actually a professional , and further without regard to the degree of training or experience of that particular actor . Other factors also become relevant , such as the degree to which the professional is educated ( i.e. , whether a specialist within the specific field , or just a general practitioner of the trade ) , and customary practices and general procedures of similar professionals . However , such other relevant factors are never dispositive . Some professions may maintain a custom or practice long after a better method has become available . The new practices , though less risky , may be entirely ignored . In such cases , the practitioner may very well have acted unreasonably despite following custom or general practices . Medical professionals ( edit ) In the realm of healthcare , plaintiffs must prove via expert testimony the standard of medical care owed and a departure from that standard . The only exception to the requirement of expert testimony is where the departure from accepted medical practices was so egregious that a layperson can readily recognize the departure . However , controversial medical practices can be deemed reasonable when followed by a respected and reputable minority of the medical field , or where the medical profession can not agree over which practices are best . Armed professionals ( edit ) The `` reasonable officer '' standard is a method often applied to law enforcement and other armed professions to help determine if a use of force was correctly applied . The test is usually applied to whether the level of force used was excessive or not . If an appropriately trained professional , knowing what the subject of the investigation knew at the time and following their agency guidelines ( such as a force continuum ) , would have used the same level of force or higher , then the standard is met . If the level of response is determined to be justified , the quantity of force used is usually presumed to have been necessary unless there are additional factors . For example , should it be determined that a trained police officer was justified in using deadly force against a suspect , the number of times he fired is presumed to have been necessary to stop the suspect 's action that justified use of deadly force , as long as there are n't other factors , such as a reckless disregard of other officers ' or bystanders ' safety , or it is clearly proven that additional force was used after the suspect was no longer a threat . Inexperience ( edit ) When any person undertakes a skills - based activity that creates a risk to others , they are held to the minimum standard of how a reasonable person experienced in that task would act , regardless of their actual level of experience . External circumstances ( edit ) Factors external to the defendant are always relevant . Additionally , so is the context within which each action is made . It is within these circumstances that the determinations and actions of the defendant are to be judged . There are myriad factors that could provide inputs into how a person acts : individual perceptions , knowledge , the weather , etc . The standard of care required for each set of circumstances will vary , yet the level of care due is always what is reasonable for that set of circumstances . While community customs may be relied upon to indicate what kind of action is expected in light of given circumstances , such customary requirements are not themselves conclusive of what a reasonable person would do . It is precisely for this wide - ranging variety of possible facts that the reasonable person standard is so broad ( and often confusing and difficult to apply ) . However , a few general areas of relevant circumstances rise above the others . Emergency doctrine ( edit ) Allowing for circumstances under which a person must act urgently is important to preventing hindsight bias from affecting the trier of fact . Given pressing circumstances , a reasonable person may not always act in a manner similar to how they would have acted in a more relaxed setting . As such , it is only fair that actions be judged in light of any exigent conditions that could have affected how the defendant acted . Available resources ( edit ) In certain circumstances , human actors are faced with the problem of making do only with what is available . Such circumstances are relevant to any determination of whether the defendant acted reasonably . Where necessary resources are scarce , certain actions may be reasonable that would be unreasonable if those same resources were available and either readily at hand or realistically obtainable given other circumstances . Negligence per se ( edit ) Main article : Negligence per se Because a reasonable person is objectively presumed to know the law , noncompliance with a local safety statute may also constitute negligence . The related doctrine of negligence per se addresses the circumstances under which the law of negligence can become an implied cause of action for breaching a statutory standard of care . Conversely , minimal compliance with a safety statute does not always absolve a defendant if the trier of fact determines that the reasonable person should have taken actions beyond and in excess of what the statute required . However , if the trier of fact finds the statute 's standard itself is reasonable and the defendant acted in accordance with what the statute contemplated , the duty of care can be deemed met . Reasonable bystander ( edit ) Main article : Offer and acceptance For common law contracts , disputes over contract formation are subjected to what is known as the objective test of assent in order to determine whether a contract exists . This standard is also known as the officious bystander , reasonable bystander , reasonable third party , or reasonable person in the position of the party . This is in contrast to the subjective test employed in most civil law jurisdictions . The test stems from attempts to balance the competing interests of the judicial policies of assent and of reliability . The former holds that no person ought to be contractually obligated if they did not consent to such an agreement ; the latter holds that if no person can rely on actions or words demonstrating consent , then the whole system of commercial exchange will ultimately collapse . Prior to the 19th century , courts used a test of subjective evaluation ; that is , the trier of fact determined each party 's understanding . If both parties were of the same mind and understanding on matters , then assent was manifested and the contract was valid . Between the 19th and 20th centuries , the courts shifted toward the objectivist test , reasoning that subjective testimony was often unreliable and self - serving . From those opposite principles , modern law has found its way to a rough middle ground , though it still shows a strong bias toward the objective test . Promises and agreements are reached through manifestations of consent , and parties are liable for actions that deliberately manifest such consent ; however , evidence of either party 's state of mind can be used to determine the context of the manifestation if said evidence is reliable and compatible with the manifestation in question , though such evidence is typically given very little weight . Another circumstance where the reasonable bystander test is used occurs when one party has inadvertently misstated the terms of the contract , and the other party sues to enforce those terms : if it would have been clear to a reasonable bystander that a mistake had been made , then the contract is voidable by the party who made the error ; otherwise , the contract is binding . Reasonable person standard for victims ( edit ) Reasonable woman ( edit ) Sexual harassment ( edit ) A variant of the reasonable person can be found in sexual harassment law as the reasonable woman standard . The variation recognizes a difference between men and women regarding the effect of unwanted interaction with a sexual tone . As women have historically been more vulnerable to rape and sex - related violence than have men , some courts believe that the proper perspective for evaluating a claim of sexual harassment is that of the reasonable woman . Notably , J. Scalia held that women did not have constitutional protection from discrimination under the fourteenth amendment equal protection clause , where by extension of logic , held the `` reasonable woman '' standard to be of moot value . However , such has not been the majority opinion of the court . Satire ( edit ) Though the use of the reasonable woman standard has gained traction in some areas of the law , the standard has not escaped the crosshairs of humorists . In 1924 , legal humorist A.P. Herbert considered the concept of the reasonable man at length in the fictional case of `` Fardell v. Potts . '' In Herbert 's fictional account , the judge addressed the lack of a reasonable woman standard in the common law , and ultimately concluded that `` a reasonable woman does not exist . '' L'homme moyen sensuel ( edit ) The concept of l'homme moyen sensuel does not speak of a reasonable person 's ability , actions , or understandings . Rather it refers to the response of a reasonable person when presented with some form of information either by image or sound , or upon reading a book or magazine . A well - known application of the concept is Judge John M. Woolsey 's lifting of the ban on the book Ulysses by James Joyce . That ruling contemplated the effect the book would have upon a reasonable person of reasonable sensibility . Similarly , when the publisher of Howl and Other Poems was charged in California with publishing an obscene book , the concept of l'homme moyen sensuel influenced the court 's finding of innocence . It was nearly two decades after Woolsey that the US Supreme Court set down the standard by which materials , when viewed by l'homme moyen sensuel , were judged either obscene or not . Generally , it has been l'homme moyen sensuel that has dictated what is and is not obscene or pornographic in books , movies , pictures , and now the Internet for at least the past 100 years . Qualifications ( edit ) Very often , for instance , in the case of noise ordinances , the enforcement of the law is only for the purpose of protecting the right of a `` reasonable person of normal sensitivity '' . Equivalents and use outside of common law ( edit ) In 2014 the on the appeal in the case of Healthcare at Home Limited v . The Common Services Agency the UK Supreme Court reviewed the term `` reasonable person '' using the analogy familiar in English law of `` The man on the Clapham omnibus '' : The Clapham omnibus has many passengers . The most venerable is the reasonable man , who was born during the reign of Victoria ... Amongst the other passengers are the right - thinking member of society , ... the officious bystander , the reasonable parent , the reasonable landlord , and the fair - minded and informed observer ... They belong to an intellectual tradition of defining a legal standard by reference to a hypothetical person , which stretches back to the creation by Roman jurists of the figure of the bonus paterfamilias ... In recent times , some additional passengers from the European Union have boarded the Clapham omnibus . This appeal is concerned with one of them : the reasonably well - informed and normally diligent tenderer . The bonus paterfamilias mentioned by the UK Supreme Court has influenced French law as the bon père de famille , an expression also used in Quebec until it was superseded by the common - law influenced personne raisonnable . In Portuguese and Portugal - related legal systems , the standard is the bom pai de família . See also ( edit ) Objective historian Bonus pater familias Casuistry Contract Gender discrimination Jury instructions Legal Fiction Officious bystander Reasonable doubt Reasonable suspicion Standard of care in English law The man on the Clapham omnibus Torts References ( edit ) Notes ( edit ) ^ Jump up to : `` Healthcare at Home Limited v . The Common Services Agency , ( 2014 ) UKSC 49 '' ( PDF ) . Supreme Court of the United Kingdom . 30 July 2014 . It follows from the nature of the reasonable man , as a means of describing a standard applied by the court , that it would be misconceived for a party to seek to lead evidence from actual passengers ( i.e. `` the right - thinking member of society , '' `` the officious bystander , '' `` the reasonable parent , '' `` the reasonable landlord , '' `` the fair - minded and informed observer , '' ... ) on the Clapham omnibus as to how they would have acted in a given situation or what they would have foreseen , in order to establish how the reasonable man would have acted or what he would have foreseen . Even if the party offered to prove that his witnesses were reasonable men , the evidence would be beside the point . The behaviour of the reasonable man is not established by the evidence of witnesses , but by the application of a legal standard by the court . The court may require to be informed by evidence of circumstances which bear on its application of the standard of the reasonable man in any particular case ; but it is then for the court to determine the outcome , in those circumstances , of applying that impersonal standard . ^ Jump up to : Regina v Smith , 4 AER 289 ( 2000 ) ( `` ( sub-citing Camplin and Bedder : ) the concept of the `` reasonable man '' has never been more than a way of explaining the law to a jury ; an anthropomorphic image to convey to them , with a suitable degree of vividness , the legal principle that even under provocation , people must conform to an objective standard of behaviour that society is entitled to expect '' ) . ^ Jump up to : Bedder v Director of Public Prosecutions , 1 WLR 1119 ( 1954 ) ( `` ( where reasonable man is deemed a wholly impersonal fiction to which no special characteristic of the accused should be attributed ) '' ) . ^ Jump up to : Oliver Wendell Holmes , Jr .

The missile is a Submarine - launched ballistic missile . 2016 Failed North Korean ballistic missile launch ( October 15 , 2016 ) - 2016 Failed launch of an intermediate - range missile ( October 19 , 2016 ) 2017 North Korea test - fired a Pukguksong - 2 missile over the Sea of Japan . This was the first launch of the new medium - range ballistic missile ( February 11 , 2017 ) . 2017 North Korea launches four ballistic missiles from the Tongchang - ri launch site in the northwest . Some flew 620 mi ( 1,000 km ) before falling into the Sea of Japan . ( March 6 , 2017 ) 2017 North Korea test - fired a medium - range ballistic missile from its eastern port of Sinpo into the Sea of Japan ( April 4 , 2017 ) 2017 North Korea test - fired an unidentified land - based missile from the naval base in Sinpo but it exploded almost immediately after the takeoff ( April 15 , 2017 ) . 2017 North Korea test - fired an unidentified missile from Pukchang airfield ( April 28 , 2017 ) . Missile , believed to be a medium - range KN - 17 ballistic missile , falters and breaks apart minutes after liftoff . 2017 North Korea test - fired a Hwasong - 12 missile from a test site in the area of Kusong ( May 13 , 2017 ) . The missile , later revealed to be an intermediate range ballistic missile , traveled 30 minutes , reached an altitude of more than 2,111.5 km , and flew a horizontal distance of 789 km ( 489 miles ) , before falling into the Sea of Japan . Such a missile would have a range of at least 4,000 , reaching Guam , to 6,000 km . 2017 North Korea test - fired another Pukguksong - 2 medium - range ballistic missile from Pukchang airfield ( May 21 , 2017 ) , which traveled approximately 300 miles before falling into the Sea of Japan . The missile landed about 217 miles from North Korea 's east coast . 2017 North Korea fired a Short Range Ballistic Missile into the Sea of Japan ( May 29 , 2017 ) . It traveled 450 km . 2017 North Korea fired several missiles into the Sea of Japan ( June 8 , 2017 ) . They are believed to be anti-ship missiles . The South Korean military said the launches show the reclusive regime 's `` precise targeting capability . '' 2017 North Korea tested a new rocket engine that could possibly be fitted to an intercontinental ballistic missile ( June 23 , 2017 ) . 2017 North Korea tested its first intercontinental ballistic missile ( ICBM ) named Hwasong - 14 on July 4 . It launched from the Panghyon Aircraft Factory 8 km southeast of Panghyon Airport . It was aimed straight up at a lofted trajectory and reached more than 2,500 km into space . It landed 37 minutes later , more than 930 km from its launch site , into Japan 's exclusive economic zone . Aiming long , the missile would have traveled 7,000 - 8,000 km or more , reaching Alaska , Hawaii , and maybe Seattle . Its operational range would be farther , bringing a 500 kg payload to targets in most of the contiguous United States 9,700 km away . 2017 The 14th missile test carried out by North Korea in 2017 was another ICBM launched at 23 : 41 North Korea time ( 15 : 41 GMT ) from Chagang Province in the north of the country on July 28 , 2017 . Los Angeles , Denver , Chicago , Boston , and New York appear to be within range . The missile 's reentry vehicle ( RV ) was seen by people in Japan as it entered the atmosphere and landed near the northernmost Japanese island , Hokkaido . Analysis later revealed that the RV broke up on re-entry ; further testing would be required . The CIA made an assessment expecting adequate performance of the RV under the different stresses of a shallower trajectory towards the continental US . 2017 North Korea test fires three short range ballistic missiles from the Kangwon province on August 26 . Two travel approximately 250 kilometers in a northeastern direction and one explodes immediately after launch . 2017 On August 29 , 2017 , at 6 AM local time , North Korea launched a ballistic missile over Northern Japan . The missile 's short and low trajectory and its breakup into three pieces is consistent with the failure of a heavy post-boost vehicle . 2017 North Korea launched a ballistic missile on September 15 from Sunan airfield . It reached a height of 770 km and flew a distance of 3,700 km for 17 minutes over Hokkaido before landing in the Pacific . North Korean rockets flown over the Japanese archipelago No .

Japanese Prime Minister Shinzō Abe had warned the North to not launch the rocket , and if it did and the rocket violated Japanese territory , it would be shot down . Nevertheless , North Korea launched the rocket anyway , claiming the satellite was purely intended for peaceful , scientific purposes . Several nations , including the United States , Japan , and South Korea , have criticized the launch , and despite North Korean claims that the rocket was for peaceful purposes , it has been heavily criticized as an attempt to perform an ICBM test under the guise of a peaceful satellite launch . China also criticized the launch , however urged `` the relevant parties '' to `` refrain from taking actions that may further escalate tensions on the Korean peninsula '' . While some North Korean pronouncements have been treated with skepticism and ridicule , analysts treated the unusual pace of North Korean rocket and nuclear testing in early 2016 quite seriously . Admiral Bill Gortney , head of the North American Aerospace Defense Command , told Congress in March 2016 , `` It 's the prudent decision on my part to assume that ( Kim Jong Un ) has the capability to miniaturize a nuclear weapon and put it on an ICBM , '' suggesting a major shift from a few years earlier . North Korea appeared to launch a missile test from a submarine on April 23 , 2016 ; while the missile only traveled 30 km , one U.S. analyst noted that `` North Korea 's sub launch capability has gone from a joke to something very serious '' . North Korea conducted multiple missile tests in 2016 . 2017 ( edit ) On August 29 , 2017 United Nations Secretary - General António Guterres has condemned the latest North Korea Ballistic Missile Launch and termed it as violation of relevant UN Security Council resolutions , as According to press reports , early Tuesday morning , the North Korea Ballistic Missile travelled some 2,700 kilometers , flying over Japan before crashing into the Pacific Ocean . On September 3 , 2017 , North Korea claimed to have successfully tested a thermonuclear bomb , also known as a hydrogen bomb . Corresponding seismic activity similar to an earthquake of magnitude 6.3 was reported by the USGS making the blast around 10 times more powerful than previous detonations by the country . Later the bomb yield was estimated to be 250 kilotons , based on further study of the seismic data . The test was reported to be `` a perfect success '' .

This was the first launch of the new medium-range ballistic missile (February 11, 2017).[17][18][6]\n\n\n2017\nNorth Korea launches four ballistic missiles from the Tongchang-ri launch site in the northwest.[19] Some flew 620 mi (1,000 km) before falling into the Sea of Japan. (March 6, 2017)[20][6]\n\n\n2017\nNorth Korea test-fired a medium-range ballistic missile from its eastern port of Sinpo into the Sea of Japan (April 4, 2017)[21][22][6]\n\n\n2017\nNorth Korea test-fired an unidentified land-based missile from the naval base in Sinpo but it exploded almost immediately after the takeoff (April 15, 2017).[23][24][25][26]\n\n\n2017\nNorth Korea test-fired an unidentified missile from Pukchang airfield (April 28, 2017).[27][28] Missile, believed to be a medium-range[29] KN-17 ballistic missile,[27] falters and breaks apart minutes after liftoff.[29][30]\n\n\n2017\nNorth Korea test-fired a Hwasong-12[31] missile from a test site in the area of Kusong (May 13, 2017).[32] The missile, later revealed to be an intermediate range ballistic missile,[33] traveled 30 minutes,[34] reached an altitude of more than 2,111.5 km, and flew a horizontal distance of 789 km (489 miles), before falling into the Sea of Japan.[33] Such a missile would have a range of at least 4,000, reaching Guam, to 6,000 km.[32][31]\n\n\n2017\nNorth Korea test-fired another Pukguksong-2 medium-range ballistic missile from Pukchang airfield (May 21, 2017),[35][36] which traveled approximately 300 miles before falling into the Sea of Japan.[37] The missile landed about 217 miles from North Korea's east coast.[37]\n\n\n2017\nNorth Korea fired a Short Range Ballistic Missile into the Sea of Japan (May 29, 2017). It traveled 450 km.[38]\n\n\n2017\nNorth Korea fired several missiles into the Sea of Japan (June 8, 2017). They are believed to be anti-ship missiles.[39] The South Korean military said the launches show the reclusive regime's \"precise targeting capability.\"\n\n\n2017\nNorth Korea tested a new rocket engine that could possibly be fitted to an intercontinental ballistic missile (June 23, 2017).[40]\n\n\n2017\nNorth Korea tested its first intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) named Hwasong-14 on July 4.[41][42] It launched from the Panghyon Aircraft Factory 8 km southeast of Panghyon Airport.[43] It was aimed straight up at a lofted trajectory and reached more than 2,500 km into space.[44] It landed 37 minutes later,[45] more than 930 km from its launch site,[46] into Japan's exclusive economic zone.[47] Aiming long, the missile would have traveled 7,000-8,000 km or more, reaching Alaska, Hawaii, and maybe Seattle.[45][48][49][50][51] Its operational range would be farther, bringing a 500 kg payload to targets in most of the contiguous United States 9,700 km away.[52][53][54]\n\n\n2017\nThe 14th missile test carried out by North Korea in 2017 was another ICBM launched at 23:41 North Korea time (15:41 GMT) from Chagang Province in the north of the country on July 28, 2017. Los Angeles, Denver, Chicago, Boston, and New York appear to be within range.[55] The missile's reentry vehicle (RV) was seen by people in Japan as it entered the atmosphere and landed near the northernmost Japanese island, Hokkaido.[56][57] Analysis later revealed that the RV broke up on re-entry; further testing would be required.[58] The CIA made an assessment expecting adequate performance of the RV under the different stresses of a shallower trajectory towards the continental US.[59]\n\n\n2017\nNorth Korea test fires three short range ballistic missiles from the Kangwon province on August 26. Two travel approximately 250 kilometers in a northeastern direction and one explodes immediately after launch.[60]\n\n\n2017\nOn August 29, 2017, at 6 AM local time, North Korea launched a ballistic missile over Northern Japan.[61] The missile's short and low trajectory and its breakup into three pieces is consistent with the failure of a heavy post-boost vehicle.[62]\n\n\n2017\nNorth Korea launched a ballistic missile on September 15 from Sunan airfield. It reached a height of 770 km and flew a distance of 3,700 km for 17 minutes over Hokkaido before landing in the Pacific.[63]\n\n"

'' Metacritic , which uses a weighted average , assigned the series a score of 66 out of 100 based on 35 critics , indicating `` generally favorable reviews '' . In a positive review , Collider 's Dave Trumbore praised the series saying , `` Shaw , Thomason , Abrams & Co. really nail the core concepts of King 's storytelling here . Each character gets a good amount of screen time to focus on introspection ... Castle Rock is a ca n't - miss series for Stephen King fans and a must - watch horror show for fans of dark , thrilling , character - focused mysteries . '' In a similarly favorable critique , Entertainment Weekly 's Kristen Baldwin gave the series a grade of `` A - '' and commended it saying , `` Though most characters are new ( Scott Glenn 's Alan Pangborn , a sheriff who appeared in Needful Things and The Dark Half , is one exception ) , for King fans the world of Castle Rock will be inescapably familiar . Spending time here feels , in many ways , like coming home -- with all of the excitement and dread such a visit entails . '' In another approving criticism , Ben Travers of Indiewire gave the series a grade of `` B + '' and complimented it saying , `` For a show that could 've been dominated by its origins , Castle Rock sure has a good time breathing new life into them . Smart , fun scares ; deeply felt , well - founded characters ; layers of story to decipher , along with the references -- what more could you want in a new piece of the Stephen King library ? '' In a more mixed review , Dan Fienberg of The Hollywood Reporter criticized the series saying , `` The actors will offer the best incentive for the King - ambivalent to tune into Castle Rock , but I 'm not sure even they will ultimately be enough to overcome the sluggish and vague story . '' In a negative review , Daniel D'Addario of Variety was even more disapproving saying , `` It 's eerie - by - the - numbers , repeatedly telling us quite how scared we ought to be , without yet building characters for whom we feel sympathetic fear .

Ganesan , Kottayam T.S Ajith The jal tarang ( Hindi : जल तरंग , Urdu : جل ترنگ , Kannada : ಜಲತರಂಗ , Tamil : ஜலதரங்கம் ) is an Indian melodic percussion instrument . It consists of a set of ceramic or metal bowls tuned with water . The bowls are played by striking the edge with beaters , one in each hand Contents ( hide ) 1 History 2 Details 3 Gallery 4 See also 5 References 6 External links History ( edit ) The earliest mention of the jal tarang is found in book ' Vātsyāyana 's Kamasutra ' as playing on musical glasses filled with water . It is one of the 64 Arts and Science to be studied by a maiden . Jal - tarang also finds mentioned in medieval Sangeet Parijaat text , categories this instrument under Ghan - Vadya ( Idiophonic instruments in which sound is produced by striking a surface , also called concussion idiophones . ) SangeetSaar considered one with 22 cups to be complete jal tarang and one with 15 cups to be of mediocre status . Cups , of varying sizes are made of either bronze or porcelain . Jal - tarang was also called jal - yantra in the medieval times , poets of Krishna cult ( also called Asht - chhap poets ) have mentioned this instrument . In modern times , it has fallen into obscurity . Literally , jal tarang means `` waves in water '' but indicates motion of sound created or modified with the aid of water . In the wave - instruments , it is the most prominent and ancient instrument . This traditional instrument is used in Indian classical music . Some scholars think that in the ancient period these were in routine use around the eastern border of India . Details ( edit ) Today only porcelain bowls are preferred by artistes , numbering around sixteen in normal use . Cups for Mandra Swar ( notes of lower octave ) are large while those for Taar Swar ( notes of higher octaves ) are smaller in size . Water is poured into the cups and the pitch is changed by adjusting the volume of water in the cup . The number of cups depends on the melody being played . The bowls mostly are arranged in a half - circle in front of the player who can reach them all easily . The player softly hits the cups with a wooden stick on the border to get the sound . It 's not easy to tune the instrument it needs some skill . During playing fine nuances can be reached if the performer is accomplished . SangeetSaar mentions that if the player can rotate the water through a quick little touch of the stick , nuances and finer variations of the note can be achieved .

When Dayne submitted her planned third album to Arista Records , label president Clive Davis strongly suggested that she remake the Barry White classic to serve as the album 's lead single ( replacing Dayne 's choice , the self - penned `` I 'll Wait '' which was the planned title cut ; the album 's title was amended to Soul Dancing ) . Produced by David Cole and Robert Clivillés of C + C Music Factory , Dayne 's `` Ca n't Get Enough of Your Love '' became a smash dance club hit peaking at # 2 . However , the track evinced a sharp drop in Dayne 's profile on the Billboard Hot 100 with a # 20 peak ; Dayne 's first seven singles had all reached the Top Ten but her eighth single `` Heart of Stone '' peaked at # 12 . `` Ca n't Get Enough of Your Love '' was her final Top 40 hit with the follow - up single , `` Send Me a Lover '' , being her last Hot 100 entry . The track had more impact for Dayne internationally ; in Australia , it spent three weeks at # 2 in August 1993 .

In spite of Shripad Rao 's self - nomination as the Peshwa , Ambaji Pant nominates a young Bajirao . To test his spiritual wisdom and knowledge of weaponry , Shripad challenges Bajirao to split a peacock feather with an arrow . Bajirao succeeds and is given the title of Peshwa . Ten years later , his wife Kashibai is visited by her widowed friend Bhanu , whose husband was accused of spying and was ordered to be executed by Bajirao . She predicts that just as she longs for her husband , Kashibai will yearn for Bajirao . While travelling to Sironja , an emissary from Bundelkhand enters Bajirao 's tent and requests his help to fight invaders . She reveals herself to be Mastani , the daughter of the Hindu Rajput king Chhatrasal and his Persian Muslim consort Ruhani Bai . Impressed by her skills as a warrior , Bajirao assists her with his army and defeats the invaders . Chhatrasal is overjoyed and insists Bajirao spend Holi with them in Bundelkhand . Mastani and Bajirao fall in love with each other and he gives her his dagger , unaware it is a symbol of marriage among the Bundelkhand Rajputs . Bajirao departs for Pune , where Kashibai greets him with a tour of their newly - built Shaniwar Wada and shows him the Aaina Mahal ( hall of mirrors ) , which allows her to see him from her room . A painting of Baji Rao I ( left ) and Mastani ( right ) Determined to pursue her love , Mastani arrives in Pune but is treated harshly by Bajirao 's mother Radhabai and accommodated in the palace for courtesans . Mastani tolerates this insult and appears to dance before Bajirao . Radhabai scornfully offers her the occupation of a royal dancer but refuses to accept her as a daughter - in - law . Mastani travels to the Chhatrapati Shahu and expresses her desire to be with Bajirao , then leaves to wait for him at a ruin across a river . During a storm , Bajirao crosses the river and chides Mastani 's persistence , reminding her he is already married and that his court will never respect her if she is in a relationship with him . She agrees , despite his warning , and he declares Mastani his second wife . The Marathas prepare to attack Delhi , the capital of the Mughal Empire , but must first ensure the Nizam of Hyderabad , the Muslim ruler of Hyderabad State , will not attack them during their assault . Bajirao leaves to confront the Nizam , Qamar ud - Din Khan , and returns successful . In the Aaina Mahal , Kashibai , who is pregnant , sees Bajirao embracing Mastani , who is also expecting , and leaves for her mother 's home . She returns to joyous celebrations months later with her newborn son , who is named Raghunath . Mastani also gives birth to a son , whom Mastani and Bajirao name Krishna Rao . After the head Brahmin priest Krishna Bhatt refuses to conduct the naamkaran ( the Hindu naming ceremony ) on the grounds that Krishna Rao is illegitimate , Bajirao renames his son Shamsher Bahadur . A few years later , Kashibai and Bajirao 's eldest son Balaji Baji Rao , also known as Nana Saheb , returns from Satara and expresses his hatred of Mastani for disrupting his mother 's marriage . Shiva Bhatt , a Brahmin priest , informs Kashibai of a plan to murder Mastani and her son during a festival . Kashibai relays this news to Bajirao , who rescues both of them . Krishna Bhatt kills Shiva Bhatt , enraging Bajirao . To keep Mastani 's safe and to grant her a royal home , Bajirao builds the Mastani Mahal for her . Bajirao , however , is heartbroken due to the betrayal of his mother Radhabai and his brother Chimaji Appa . Meanwhile , Pant tells Bajirao he must defeat Nasir Jung , the vengeful son of the Nizam . Bajirao says that although he loves Mastani , his life and allegiance is always to his cause and he leaves for the battlefield . Before leaving , he meets Kashibai in deference to a tradition that the wife sent her husband off into battle . Kashibai tells Bajirao he has broken her heart and compares their love with that of Krishna and Rukmini . Kashibai orders him never to enter her chamber again , and Bajirao accepts and leaves . After Bajirao leaves for battle , Radhabai and Nana Saheb imprison Mastani and Shamsher Bahadur . After Bajirao receives the news , he single - handedly defeats Nasir Jung 's army in his rage but collapses from his injuries . At his deathbed , Kashibai sends a letter pleading with Radhabai to release Mastani so Bajirao can recover , but Nana Saheb burns the letter and refuses to release Mastani . Bajirao , delirious due to his sickness , dies from the trauma of his hallucinations ; at the same time Mastani dies in captivity . The ill - fated lovers are shown to be united in death . Cast ( edit ) The cast is listed below : Ranveer Singh as Bajirao I Deepika Padukone as Mastani Priyanka Chopra as Kashibai Tanvi Azmi as Radhabai Milind Soman as Ambaji Pant Vaibhav Tatwawaadi as Chimaji Appa Ayush Tandon as Nana Saheb Rudra Soni as Young Nana Saheb Mahesh Manjrekar as Chhatrapati Shahu Aditya Pancholi as Shripad Rao Raza Murad as Qamar ud - Din Khan Sukhada Khandkekar as Anubai Benjamin Gilani as King Chhatrasal Anuja Sathe as Bhiubai Yatin Karyekar as Krishna Bhatt Ganesh Yadav as Malhar Rao Snehlata Girish Vasaikar as Bhanu Mousumi Saha as Bhavana Rao Irrfan Khan as the narrator ( voice - over ) Production ( edit ) Development ( edit ) Sanjay Leela Bhansali ( pictured in 2011 ) had been longing to make the film for over a decade . Sanjay Leela Bhansali had conceived the historical romance about Maratha Peshwa Bajirao and his second wife Mastani even before he had directed his first feature Khamoshi : The Musical in 1996 . Several other directors such as Muzaffar Ali , Manmohan Desai and Kamal Amrohi had tried to make a film about the two historical figures but they were never made . Bhansali had intended to make Bajirao Mastani after the release of Devdas ( 2002 ) and had officially announced it in 2003 , with filming scheduled to begin in May 2004 . The film , however , was shelved indefinitely . Reports about a possible revival had made headlines ever since ; Bhansali had planned to revive it every other year but the project never came to fruition . In an interview with The Telegraph , Bhansali spoke about his intention to make Bajirao Mastani after finishing every film he made in - between , saying `` I kept trying to revive it over and over again , but if there is one thing that filmmaking has taught me , it 's that every film has its own destiny . And I strongly believe that the souls of ... Bajirao , Mastani and Kashibai wanted us to make this film only now . '' In the process , the film became a passion project for him . After spending eleven years in development hell , Bhansali revived the project in 2014 ; the film was reported to be an adaptation of the Marathi - language novel Raau ( 1976 ) by Nagnath S. Inamdar . After the project was shelved , Bhansali said he struggled to put the film together and that he considered the project impossible to made . Nevertheless , he clung to his ambition to make the film someday , saying , `` there is magic to it '' . Some film industry professionals believed it would never be made , calling it `` jinxed '' . Bhansali always believed in the project , assuring himself the script was so powerful he had to make it one day . He told The Telegraph , `` Honestly , I want very few things in life ... so I know that I am resilient enough to get them all ! Deep down , I kept asking for the universe to let me make this film . When you dream very genuinely , then I believe you also get the power to fulfill it . In pursuing Bajirao Mastani , I have been resilient and very focused . I have sacrificed a lot of things '' . Primarily known for making romantic dramas , Bhansali was intrigued about the romance between `` two people who defied everything , just to be in love with each other '' , and was excited to tell a 200 - year - old story . He wanted to show the relationship between Bajirao and Mastani because it was rarely depicted in history books , and little was known about it . He had long admired the Maratha backdrop and the different religions of the protagonists -- Bajirao was Hindu and Mastani was Muslim -- which further drove his interest towards knowing more and telling the story . He saw it as a chance to comment on religion and love , saying , `` In those times , people were offended by the same things that offend them today . Through this film , I want to show that love is the greatest religion . '' Prakash R. Kapadia wrote the screenplay . The makers acquired the rights of the novel and worked with historian Ninad Bedekar . Kapadia said writing the screenplay was a difficult task and a huge responsibility considering the historical context . Kapadia and Bhansali had consistently worked on the script since its conception , refining several aspects of the film . Considering the script was written twelve years before , several changes were made to it , such as the decreasing the length and increasing the pace to suit the modern audiences . Although adapted from the novel , the romance between the film 's protagonists has not been well documented in history books or archives and several versions of the story exist . Many cinematic liberties were taken to build drama and highlight incidents . Casting ( edit ) Bhansali originally wanted to repeat his Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam ( 1999 ) pairing of Salman Khan with Aishwarya Rai for the eponymous roles , but could not cast them together after their highly publicised break - up . Khan then tried to suggest his then - girlfriend Katrina Kaif for the role of Mastani but things did not materialise . When the film was finally announced in 2003 , Bhansali had cast Khan and Kareena Kapoor in the titular roles , with Rani Mukerji playing Baji Rao 's first wife Kashibai . However , the idea was scrapped when Khan and Kapoor signed other films together . Bhansali wanted to be the first director to showcase their pairing . Hence , the film was shelved and Bhansali went on to direct other films . Ranveer Singh ( left ) and Deepika Padukone ( right ) were cast to play the titular roles . Over the following ten years , media speculation about the production and casting of Bajirao Mastani continued . After the film was revived in 2014 , reports of Ajay Devgn and Deepika Padukone being approached for the film made headlines in February . Devgn dropped out of the film , however , due to differences with Bhansali about several terms of his contract , such as dates and remuneration . The next month , it was reported that Ranveer Singh was in talks to play Bajirao . The same month , reports suggested Priyanka Chopra was cast to play Kashibai , Bajirao 's first wife . In July 2014 , it was officially confirmed that Singh , Padukone and Chopra were finalised to play the principal roles . Chopra was the first actor to be cast in the film ; Bhansali wanted Kashibai to be cast first , only after which he could decide who to cast for the title roles . Bhansali , who produced Chopra - starrer Mary Kom ( 2014 ) , went on to that film 's set in Manali to narrate it with the writer Prakash Kapadia ; Bhansali was adamant in his choice of Chopra , who recalled , `` The rest of the film had n't been cast yet . My picture would be there and the pictures for Bajirao and Mastani would keep changing . '' Milind Soman joined the cast in the late August 2014 . In late September 2014 , it was confirmed that Tanvi Azmi was cast for the role of Bajirao 's mother Radhabai ; Shabana Azmi , Dimple Kapadia , and Supriya Pathak had also been considered for the role . The following month , Aditya Pancholi joined the cast as an antagonist . In November 2014 , the casting of Bajirao 's sisters were finalised ; Sukhada Khandkekar was ast as Anubai and Anuja Gokhale as Bhiubai . The following month , Mahesh Manjrekar was cast to play Maratha Emperor Chhattrapati Shahu . It was announced in January 2015 that Vaibhav Tatwawaadi was chosen to play Bajirao 's younger brother Chimaji Appa . Irrfan Khan was cast as the film 's narrator . All of the actors had to undergo training before filming began ; Singh and Padukone learned sword - fighting , horse - riding and the ancient Indian martial art Kalaripayattu . Singh was also required to learn Marathi and shave his head for the part , whereas Padukone had to take Kathak dance lessons . In preparation for her role of Kashibai , Chopra had 15 days of language training in the Peshwai Marathi dialect spoken during the time of the ascension of the Peshwas to perfect the accent . Azmi shaved her head completely for her role . Singh has described his character as a `` true Maratha '' , saying , `` The deeper I get into it the more I realise what a great man he was . It is a great honour to be selected to play this character . '' He has said he always wanted to transform himself into a character and playing Bajirao gave him that scope , which he said was `` draining and tiring in every way '' . For portraying Bajirao , Singh 's preparations required him to isolate himself from his own being and living like Bajirao . He instructed the crew members to address him as Bajirao , which helped him to remain in his character . Singh would not respond to people who used his real name . He said , `` It takes a lot of work and effort to be different from whom I am , and two hours to get ready , complete with makeup and the heavy costumes . After all this , if someone just tells me , Ranveer , your shot is ready ! all that goes to waste . '' Padukone found her character to be very relatable , saying , `` She was so brave , strong , determined and yet fragile and vulnerable '' . She was also inspired by her character and found playing the role challenging ; it was physically demanding and required a lot of dancing . Padukone said the character had different layers ; `` One minute she goes on the battlefield , the next minute she 's romancing him '' . Chopra was drawn towards the film because of her character which she thought was `` very heart - breaking '' . She said playing Kashibai was `` emotionally difficult '' and a complete contrast to the strong women she has portrayed in most of her films . She described her character as someone who is `` heartbroken , a silent sufferer , dignified , resilient , ca n't take charge of her life , goes with whatever life throws her way . Just grace under fire . '' Pre-production ( edit ) Considering its scale , the film required detailed and extravagant pre-production work , which required extensive research and planning . Saloni Dhatrak , Sriram Iyengar and Sujeet Sawant worked as production designers on the film . Iyengar and Sawant had heard about the film while working on another film , when it was first announced . Having never met Bhansali , they started researching on their own by visiting Pune and Satara and learnt about Maratha architecture . When the film was shelved , they continued to research and formed a portfolio , hoping to approach other filmmakers for work . Several years later , when they heard about the revival , they met Bhansali , who was impresses by their research and presentation . Bhansali wanted more research on Mughals ; he engaged Dhatrak , who joined Iyengar and Sawant . Bhansali then shared the script with the art directors and described his vision and the scale of the production . Pre-production work started as early as February 2014 , continued as the shoot progressed and lasted until the filming was complete in October 2015 ; it lasted nineteen months . Before pre-production work started , the art directors discussed with Bhansali about how much of the film would be filmed on set and outdoor locations , giving them an idea to how many sets they needed to create . Once the number of sets and location shots was decided , the production moved forward . The set for Shaniwar Wada was the biggest set created for the film . Along with the art directors , nineteen art assistant directors , including architects , designers , sketch artists and props artists , were involved . Twenty - two sets were created in Film City following a flow chart that included around 960 sketches and countless layouts . The two biggest sets were the exact replicas of Shaniwar Wada and the Aaina Mahal , both of which were `` high on grandeur and intricacy '' . The Shaniwar Wada set was the biggest set they had constructed ; it took 45,000 planks and 600 workers a day to erect . It was constructed on Sunil Maidan , one of the biggest open spaces in Film City and took forty - five days to build . Kashibai 's room was the first set to be constructed , which was approved after navigating through twenty - five designs . The art directors did architectural research from Pune , Nasik and Satara , studying fortifications , baston walls and city gates to understand the interior and exterior designs of the ancient period and incorporated those ideas into building Kashibai 's villa . Lotus motifs on mud - clad walls and handmade textures were used to give the set a realistic appearance . Aina Mahal took 4,500 planks , with a hundred workers per day . The set was given a lotus - like design , with walls , ceiling and floor made out of handmade mud embedded with sparkling mirror designs . The replica of Aina Mahal was constructed in forty days , with more than 30,000 square feet of mirrors . More than 700 design stencils were used to decorate the hall . Although the mirror hall was a Mughal concept , the art directors designed it to look like Maratha architecture . Mastani Mahal was built as an amalgamation of Rajput and Maratha architecture . The exterior of Mastani Mahal was built as a part of Shaniwar Wada , whereas the interiors of were built on separate sets consisting of a courtyard and bedroom . Mastani 's room in Bundelkhand was crafted using a mix of Persian , Mughal and Rajput motifs and architecture . All of the sets were furnished with opulent objects and props to give the interiors a feel of the ancient Maratha empire . Only earthen diyas and torches were used to light the sets . Silken saris were used , with bedsheets and hand - painted walls with 18th century motifs added . Craftsmen were hired to recreate 18th - century textures , fabrics , weaponry , jewellery and furniture . Almost 30,000 oil lamps were made for the film and 500 suits of armour were designed for the war scenes . There were also headgear and boots worn in that period . The armour and headgear weighed between ten - twenty kilos and two kilos , respectively . The team also designed props including different types of tents , lighting props , and elephant and horse decors for the war sequences . The props were made in Mumbai and had to be taken to Rajasthan , the outdoor location . Costumes ( edit ) The paintings of Raja Ravi Varma was used as an inspiration for creating Kashibai 's look The film 's costumes were designed by Anju Modi and Maxima Basu . Modi designed clothes for the three lead characters and Basu designed for the supporting cast . The costumes for extras and war extras were done by Ajay and Chandrakant , respectively . Bhansali had detailed script - reading sessions with the designers to help them understand the characters , their emotions and personalities , which would mirror the costumes and the grandeur of the 18th century . Basu started her research by visiting several ancient monuments such as the Chowmahalla Palace , Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Vastu Sangrahalaya , Salar Jung Museum and Ajanta - Ellora caves , which gave her some perspective of ancient Maharastrian culture . She also travelled to cities such as Indore , Chanderi , Paithan and Maheshwar to gather more knowledge about the history of clothing and textiles . About 300 costumes were designed for the three leads alone . Real zari and goldwires were used to weave the costumes . Since no pictures of Kashibai existed , the paintings of Raja Ravi Varma were used as a reference for designing her looks and costumes . Modi had designed eighty nauvari or nine - yard saris with bright colours such as yellows , hot pink , emerald green and purple , inspired from the Raja Ravi Varma paintings , for Chopra . The custom - made nine - yard saris were weaved by craftsmen from Maheshwar , Chander and Varanasi ; they were made a little lighter than usual to avoid making Chopra Priyanka look large on screen . For making the saris , fabrics such as Mul - Mul , silk , muslin , khadi and chanderis worn in that period were designed . For one song sequence featuring Chopra , Modi had created six sets of the same sari . Peshwas used to wear Dhotis , Jamas and Angarkhas with a large flare in that period , so it was eminent for Bajirao 's character . A wide palette of solid colours , such as white and cream , were used for the sombre and emotional scenes whereas red , orange , blue and deep purple were used for the celebratory scenes . For designing the Bajirao 's armour , chain mail , khaki and steel grey were employed . A dandpatta sword was also made for him . For Mastani , Modi used a mix of Persian and Muslim clothing of muslin , khadi and thin Chanderi fabrics , with mukaish and zardosi hand embroidery to depict her half - Muslim heritage . Padukone was predominantly given shararas and its derivatives such trailing shararas , shararas with less flare and crinkled shararas made of chiffon . She was given a lehenga for just one scene . She was also given Odhnis , dupattas , veils , floor - skimming anarkalis and angrakhas paired with Farshi pajamas . Softer colours with Persian influences such as shades of powder blue , mint green , pale yellow , aqua blue , powder pink and other typical porcelain colours were used for her clothes . A turban embellished with jewellery such as uncut diamonds and pearls was designed . For one of the Mastani costumes , Modu designed a five - layered outfit consisting of an angrakha jacket , a woven leheria dupatta , sharara and inner kurti . Expensive and real jewellery was used in the film . The designers created the jewellery for each character . Modi said they did not want to compromise , so the best materials such as real Basra pearls , antique stones and uncut diamonds were used to give the royal look needed for the characters . Traditional Marathi - style jewellery was used to style Kashibai , while for Mastani Nizami and polki Jewellery was used . Several Indian jewellery designers , including PN Gadgil from Pune and Shri Hari Jewellers from Delhi , were hired . The costume and production designers also researched in museums , art galleries , history books , paintings , palaces , temples and forts to study the textiles , colour palettes and artwork of the ancient Maratha Empire . Principal photography ( edit ) Cinematographer Sudeep Chatterjee shot the film using Arri Alexa XT lenses . Chatterjee had done extensive research before starting the film . Principal photography began on 9 October 2014 with Chopra on the set in Film City , Mumbai . Later that month , Singh joined the shoot . Most of the film was shot on the highly detailed sets . In late November , Chopra fainted on the set due to exhaustion while filming a scene that needed to be filmed ten times continuously . A doctor was called and filming stopped for some time but she later resumed the shoot . Padukone joined the cast for two days during in late December 2014 and resumed shooting in April 2015 after completing work for her other projects . Outdoor location filming began in February 2015 at Amer Fort in Jaipur . Crowd scenes were also filmed there . Singh fell off a horse while filming an action sequence and was rushed to hospital ; he was not seriously injured . In May 2015 , however , he injured his shoulder and needed surgery ; he resumed shooting after break of two months . Some of the outdoor scenes were filmed at the Amer Fort Chopra resumed filming in the first week of April 2015 for a month . While working on Bajirao Mastani , Chopra was simultaneously filming the American television series Quantico in Montreal , requiring much back - and forth travel . She would act for Bajirao Mastani at weekends and return to Montreal on weekdays for her series , returning to India in the second week of October to complete the final schedule . Before starting the film , the team discussed which parts of it had to be filmed and which parts needed to be made using visual effects . They decided that only sequences that were considered difficult or impossible to film would be created using visual effects in post production . In one sequence , it was impossible to control the movements of the 300 -- 400 horses standing at one position in a battle scene ; this sequence was filmed with a small number of horses and was later enhanced in post production . Sham Kaushal co-ordinated the action sequences for the war scenes . Three war sequences were filmed in Rajasthan , Madhya Pradesh and Maharashtra . Chatterjee found the war sequences challenging and faced many difficulties while filming in the deserts of Rajasthan . Wanting to break with norms , Bhansali wanted a night - time war sequence ; lighting a large , open field became very difficult and visibility issues were inevitable . Bhansali wanted very clear images . Instead , they decided to shoot these scenes in the morning , aiming for a twilight look . The main war scene featuring 800 extras , 500 horses and twenty - five elephants was filmed over twenty days near Jaipur . The extras would begin costuming , which included beards for the Mughals , moustaches for the Marathas , armours , helmets and uniforms , at 04 : 00 for the start of filming at 08 : 00 . After finishing the shoot , the costumes would be washed in readiness for 04 : 00 the following day . Kaushal has said extensive research was done before filming the war sequences , and a rough graph was designed nine months before the filming . However , the entire sequence could not be filmed in one take on location and was completed later in a studio in Film City , and was enhanced in post production . Ganesh Acharya , Remo D'Souza , Pony Verma , Shampa Gopikrishna and Pandit Birju Maharaj were the choreographers for the film 's song sequences . Bhansali chose D'Souza , who had only choreographed modern dance numbers at that time , to choreograph the song `` Pinga '' , which took weeks to complete . Chopra and Padukone had to rehearse for several days before shooting . The filming was challenging for Chopra and Padukone ; they had to shoot for the dance sequences multiple times whenever the diyas and torches used to light up the background would snuff . The song was shot at night on an open - air set decorated with diyas and torches , many of which would snuff out while filming the song . When it was suggested snuffed diyas should be corrected in post production , Bhansali outright refused . More than twelve people would run around the set with candles and oil to relight them . The sound recording was done on location . Sound designer Nihar Ranjan Samal said they had to be careful that sounds of vehicles and honking did not make their way into the recording . A number of scenes needed re-recording because of some disturbance . Bajirao Mastani was shot in 217 days between October 2014 and October 2015 . Post-production ( edit ) The film contains 1,400 visual effects shots . The company that worked on the effects was NY VFXWAALA ; this was the biggest projects they had undertaken . Prasad Sutar was the visual effects supervisor ; the effects took eight months and a team of sixty artists to create . Although the film was shot on highly detailed sets , visual effects and CGI was incorporated in post-production to enhance the imagery for the scenes that were impossible to shoot in live action . The effects included the creation of interior architecture , backgrounds , set extensions and war weapons ; changes to lighting and time of day , weather effects and the multiplication of army soldiers . The opening night - time war scene , which had 300 visual effects shots , was filmed in bright daylight then converted into night . Arrows flying over the battlefield were created using CGI whereas the army , soldiers and horses were multiplied . The war close - up shots were filmed in a studio but were later mixed with the war scenes to form a detailed scene . In some shots , the sky was digitally replaced and CGI forts were added in others . Similarly , the climax sequence , which was shot live in water , was enhanced using CGI horses , arrows and fireballs . The climax scene took around twenty days to complete with fine details . Bhansali wanted a grand opening title design , which the team decided to create using animation . They crafted hand - drawn storyboards and drew a narration of Bajirao and his kingdom , and designed it digitally using animation within a limited timeline . A sequence in which Singh crosses the sea in a boat at night was created using visual effects . Splashing waves , falling rain falling ( except for the water falling on Singh and the night sky were created in post production . The scenes that were shot on set and featured outside views , such as views from windows , were completed in post production . For dark , emotional scenes , a low - key background was created , whereas bright , colourful backgrounds were created with effects for light scenes . The film was edited by Rajesh G. Pandey . Soundtrack ( edit ) Main article : Bajirao Mastani ( soundtrack ) The original score of the film was composed by Sanchit Balhara and the soundtrack album was composed by Bhansali . The lyrics are written by Siddharth -- Garima , A.M. Turaz and Prashant Ingole . The album consists of ten original songs with vocals by Shreya Ghoshal , Arijit Singh , Vishal Dadlani , Shashi Suman , Kunal Pandit , Prithvi Gandharva , Kanika Joshi , Rashi Raagga , Geetikka Manjrekar , Payal Dev , Shreyas Puranik , Vaishali Mhade , Javed Bashir , Ganesh Chandanshive and Sukhwinder Singh . The soundtrack was released by Eros Music on 24 November 2015 . The soundtrack album was well received by music critics , who praised the soulful compositions and called them `` melodious and fresh '' . R.M. Vijayakar of India - West gave the album 4.5 out of 5 , calling it `` unforgettable '' and complimented the use of musical instruments and orchestration , noting portions of the score as the most significant standout . Firstpost gave a highly positive review , praising the `` elegantly arranged and opulently orchestrated '' songs and writing , `` exhilarating soundtrack ... recreates an era gone - by through sounds that are authentic ... yet operatic , steeped in the classical ethos , yet contemporary '' . Joginder Tuteja of Bollywood Hungama gave a rating of 3.5 out of 5 , calling it `` high on classical base '' and saying half of the compositions were situational and narrative - based that can `` be expected to make a good impression on screen '' . The Indian Express also gave it a 3.5 out of 5 , noting its distinct sound and its `` balance between restraint and exuberance '' and wrote , `` Bajirao Mastani sounds fresh , like carefully restored music from Bajirao 's times '' . Marketing and release ( edit ) Bajirao Mastani was one of the most anticipated releases of 2015 . Special care was taken to avoid leaks during production ; everything was done in secrecy . On 15 July 2015 , a day before the teaser release , producers Eros International shared the first images of the three characters and a teaser poster of the film . The three - minute teaser trailer , with only one line of dialogue , was released on 16 July 2015 . The teaser garnered high praise from all quarters and was deemed `` grand '' and `` epic '' . CNN - News18 called the teaser `` regal , grand and breathtaking '' , and wrote that it had all the signature Bhansali elements such as `` the big sets , larger than life characters , lots of colours and a tragic love story in the midst of all this grandeur '' . India Today wrote , `` With its royal canvas , Bajirao Mastani teaser is a burst of colours and action reminiscent of the 18th century '' . In early November 2015 , characters posters of the three characters were also unveiled . The trailer was released on 20 November 2015 and was also well received . As a part of the promotions , a multi-episode graphic web series -- India 's first -- titled Blazing Bajirao was released digitally in November 2015 . Featuring the animated avatars of Bajirao , Kashibai and Mastani , the graphic series narrates the tales of Bajirao 's heroism and his relationship with his two wives . This was followed by a video game titled Blazing Bajirao -- The Game the next month . Released on the App Store and Google Play , the interactive game requires its players to fight enemies as Peshwa Bajirao . A multi-city press tour , which saw Singh and Padukone visiting several cities , was designed to promote the film . Chopra , who could not be in India for the promotions as she was filming for Quantico , promoted the film in the United States at a press conference in New York City . Even before its release and without watching the film , the descendants of Bajirao , Mastani and Kashiabi expressed their disapproval of `` Malhari '' and `` Pinga '' dance sequences , the midriff - baring saris worn by Kashibai and Mastani in the song `` Pinga '' , a dialogue deeming it `` vulgar '' and a `` private moment '' shown in the trailer , claiming excessive creative liberty was taken by the director . Though not against the release of the film , the descendants publicly asked the makers to remove those two songs and screen the film for them so they could review and suggest Bhansali remove other `` objectionable content '' from the film . Bhansali did not respond . Additionally , a petition was filed by an activist in Bombay High Court seeking stay on the film for the two aforementioned songs , accusing it of `` distorting history '' ; the High Court rejected the petition and refused to interfere with the film 's release . One of the most expensive Hindi films ever made , Bajirao Mastani cost ₹ 1.25 billion to make and an additional ₹ 200 million for marketing and advertisements ; its total budget was ₹ 1.45 billion . Even before its release , the film recovered almost all of its production costs -- ₹ 1.20 billion -- from sales of its satellite rights , music rights and overseas rights being sold for ₹ 500 million and ₹ 700 million , respectively . The film was released on 18 December 2015 on 2,700 screens worldwide . Although the makers had booked the date a year in advance , the makers of Dilwale decided to release their film on the same date , causing a highly publicised clash between the two films . Bajirao Mastani had to share the 5,000 domestic screens with Dilwale in a 40 : 60 ratio . Distributed by Eros Home Video , the film was released on DVD and Blu - ray on 18 March 2016 . The DVD version was released in all regions as a two - disc pack in NTSC widescreen format ; bonus content included documentaries about the making of the film , its sets , costumes , music , movie images and deleted scenes . A VCD version was released at the same time . The film was also released digitally on platforms such as iTunes . It is also available on the company 's streaming service Eros Now . Bajirao Mastani had its world television premiere on 23 April 2016 on Colors . Reception ( edit ) Critical response ( edit ) Bajirao Mastani received positive critical feedback . Writing for Firstpost , Subhash K. Jha gave it five stars out of five , calling it a `` masterpiece '' , and comparing it favourably with Mughal - e-Azam . Anupama Chopra from Hindustan Times gave four stars out of five , terming it `` soaring , searing and visually sumptuous '' , and writing , `` Bajirao Mastani plays out a like an operatic , swooning , feverish love poem '' . She praised Singh for `` combin ( ing ) towering strength with aching vulnerability and helplessness '' , Chopra for having the `` maximum impact '' despite fewer scenes , and called Padukone `` riveting '' . The Times of India also gave four stars out of five , pointing out its `` outstanding '' cinematography and writing , `` Every visual resembles a grand painting -- courts with shadows and chandeliers , courtiers with tilaks and teers , chambers gleaming with mirrors , skies blushing with passion '' . Taran Adarsh from Bollywood Hungama gave four stars out of five , describing it as `` a cinematic gem '' , and wrote that `` fascinating characters and inspirational sub-plots ( in the film ) advances into a stunning culmination '' . Zee News also gave four stars out of five and said , `` An outright outshining piece of art made unblemished , sprinkled with sincerity and discipline of acting -- this love folklore will restore the drama lovers , back in their ' expectation ' block '' . Shubha Shetty - Saha of Mid Day gave three and a half stars out of five , and wrote , `` Sanjay Leela Bhansali in his characteristic style narrates his version of the story in a Mughal - e-azamesque scale of grandiosity , replete with breathtakingly beautiful sets , elaborate and well thought of costumes and accessories and dreamy cinematography '' , which transports the viewers to an `` unique and stunningly beautiful world '' . Ananya Bhattacharya of India Today also rated the film three and a half stars out of five , calling it `` an experience '' , and Bhansali `` a master love - storyteller '' . She praised the performance , saying , `` Ranveer , Deepika , Priyanka shine ... while Tanvi Azmi plays the intimidating matriarch with elan '' ; thought she thought the editing `` could have been much crisper '' . Writing for NDTV , Saibal Chatterjee gave the film three and a half stars out of five , and said , `` There is n't a dull moment in this colourful and dramatic film that embraces excess with unabashed abandon '' . Giving a rating of three stars out of five , Rajeev Masand described the film as `` artistic but exhausting '' and was critical of the film 's length . He praised the cinematography , production design and performances ; he credited Chopra for bringing `` grace to the character , and practically steal ( ing ) the film '' , Padukone for bringing `` heft '' to her fight scenes , and Singh for finding his character 's hidden vulnerabilities . Namrata Joshi of The Hindu called the film a `` historical leap '' , and wrote , `` Sanjay Leela Bhansali returns with another visual spectacle that wilfully takes liberties with the past that it depicts . But it does manage to engage even as it exhausts . '' Conversely , Raja Sen of Rediff.com was unimpressed with the film for favouring visual splendour over storyline , rating it two stars out of five . He praised Singh and Chopra , but disliked Padukone 's performance . Shubhra Gupta of The Indian Express was also disappointed with the film , writing , `` Bajirao Mastani had the potential to be a terrific historical . You want to be transported . What it ends up being is a costume drama : too many costumes , too much revved - up , empty drama , and too little plot . '' Box Office ( edit ) Bajirao Mastani was a major commercial success , grossing over ₹ 2.55 billion in India and over ₹ 1.02 billion in the overseas market for a worldwide box office gross of over ₹ 3.56 billion . The overseas collections comprised earnings from five major markets ; United States and Canada , United Kingdom , Middle - east , Australia and the rest of the world ; with earnings of ₹ 440 million , ₹ 138 million , ₹ 202 million , ₹ 57 million and ₹ 185 million , respectively .

Accolades ( edit ) Main article : List of accolades received by Bajirao Mastani Bajirao Mastani received five nominations at the 10th Asian Film Awards , including Best Film , and won the award for Best Special Effects . At the 63rd National Film Awards , Bajirao Mastani received seven awards , including Best Director for Bhansali , Best Supporting Actress for Azmi , Best Cinematography for Chatterjee , and Best Art Direction .

Bajirao Mastani received thirteen nominations at the 22nd Screen Awards , including Best Film , and Best Director for Bhansali , and won seven including Best Actor for Singh , and Best Supporting Actress for Chopra . It also won a leading thirteen awards ( from seventeen nominations ) at the 17th IIFA Awards including Best Director for Bhansali , Best Actor for Singh , and Best Supporting Actress for Chopra . Historical inaccuracies ( edit ) The film was adapted from the novel Raau , whose accuracy has long been questioned . Bhansali consulted historian Ninad Bedekar , who is regarded as an authority on the Peshwas . According to an article published by Quartz , the `` love story '' of Bajirao and Mastani is `` almost entirely fictional '' , writing that even the most reliable sources do not give details about the nature of their relationship . There has been controversy over Mastani 's true lineage ; two accounts of Mastani exist -- one which says she was a courtesan and Bajirao 's mistress or concubine , and another that is depicted in the film . According to historian Saili Palande - Datar , very little is known about the women of that era due to the orthodoxy ; women were not given many privileges and rights , and most of the sources from that period are accounts of political battles , revenues and socio - economic records . Palande - Datar also said there is no evidence of the way Bajirao and Mastani 's political marriage became part of folklore and was later transformed into a symbolic representation of great romance . Historian Prachi Deshpande notes in her book Creative Pasts : Historical Memory and Identity in Western India , 1700 -- 1960 , that the public fascination started after their romanticisation began in the 1890s , more than 150 years after they had died , after Marathi playwrights began writing a series of nationalistic plays based on the historical figures . The first such play that portrayed them as a star crossed couple was Bajirao - Mastani ( 1892 ) by NB Kanitkar . Quartz also said the play portrayed them as star crossed lovers and others playwrights followed Kantikar , making it as familiar to Marathi audiences as that of other epic romances . By the 1930s , a number of historical novels that also added to the `` myth - making '' were written , fascinating another generation . The film gives a more of a personal account of Bajirao 's life , which is hard to prove since it has not been covered much by the historians . Bhansali has said it was his interpretation of how Bajirao was in his home and in personal life , and there was no way to know that . Because of this lack of information , Bhansali took liberties with historical facts and exaggerated a few things for cinematic effects . A disclaimer on the film 's credits stated it does not claim to be historically accurate . The dance sequences have been widely seen as `` fictional '' and `` out of place '' in historical context . Bajirao 's dance sequence in `` Malhari '' has been criticised , saying a chief minister such as Bajirao would never dance in public . Similarly , the `` Pinga '' dance sequence between Kashibai and Mastani has been deemed `` inappropriate '' for women of that era . Some historians have said that apart from the inappropriateness of a woman of Kashiabi 's stature dancing in public , she suffered from a type of arthritis and that dancing was not physically possible for her . While some historians have claimed both women met socially only once ; others have said they never met at all . Mastani was put under house arrest by Balaji while Bajirao was on military campaign , as opposed to film 's depiction of Mastani 's imprisonment . The film shows Bajirao and Mastani dying at the same time in different places , which did not happen in reality . Bajirao died a few days earlier than Mastani ; however the cause of her death is not known . Some have claimed she died from shock ; other accounts say she committed suicide . The film portrays Mastani being chained at the time of her death but she was never chained and she and Kashibai were both present at Bajirao 's last rites . After the death of Mastani , Kashibai raised Mastani 's son as her own , which is not shown in the film . Other inaccuracies include Mastani playing a mandolin , an instrument that originated in Europe during the 19th century . References ( edit ) Jump up ^ `` Bajirao Mastani '' .

The default colors ( in the Vector skin ) have the following meanings : Link style Type Color Color blue link link to a page that currently exists # 0645AD = rgb ( 6 , 69,173 ) dark blue link link to a page that you have already visited # 0B0080 = rgb ( 11 , 0,128 ) red link link to a page that does not currently exist within Wikipedia # CC2200 = rgb ( 204 , 34 , 0 ) light brown link link to a page that does not exist , but you have visited # A55858 = rgb ( 165 , 88 , 88 ) brown link link to a very short article within Wikipedia , but only if the user has set a preference option to format `` stub '' links in this way # 772233 = rgb ( 119 , 34 , 51 ) light blue link link to a page at another wiki , usually another Wikimedia project Note that the light blue color is used whether or not the page actually exists at the target wiki . For example , there is an article about George Washington Carver here on the English Wikipedia , while there is no article of the same name on the Japanese Wikipedia ; but they do have an article about the same man under a different title . The same color is used for external links , as well . # 3366BB = rgb ( 51,102,187 ) purple link link to a page at another site that has been visited # 663366 = rgb ( 102 , 51,102 ) Note that the colors in the boxes may appear darker than text of the same color ; also , larger or bold text will tend to look darker . Furthermore , the actual color seen by a user will vary slightly according to their operating system , desktop settings , and browser , as well as their monitor and ( for low - end LCDs ) viewing angle . Logged - in users can also change the colors they see by selecting a different skin or using custom CSS . Contents ( hide ) 1 Custom link colors 1.1 Styling Individual links on a page 1.1. 1 Internal links 1.1. 2 External links 1.2 Styling all links just for you 1.3 Other changes 2 Scripts Custom link colors Styling individual links on a page You can set the color of an individual link or set of links on page ( rather than a global change to the style of all links ) as follows . Setting styles in this way will apply to everybody , not just you . Internal links You can turn links a different color like so : Markup * ( ( example < span style = `` color : green ; '' > This page exists. < / span > ) ) * ( ( exampl < span style = `` color : green ; '' > This page does not exist. < / span > ) ) Renders as This page exists . This page does not exist . Or , if you desire existence checking you can try : Markup * ( ( example ( ( # ifexist : example < span style = `` color : green ; '' > This page exists. < / span > This page does not exist . ) ) ) ) * ( ( exampl ( ( # ifexist : exampl < span style = `` color : green ; '' > This page exists. < / span > This page does not exist . ) ) ) ) Renders as This page exists . This page exists . External links A similar styled span can be added within an external link : Markup * ( http://example.com < span style = `` color : green ; '' > Example external link < / span > ) Renders as Example external link Styling all links just for you You can also customize link colors by editing the CSS at your skin subpage . This is a change which will apply to all links throughout the site , but will only be visible to you The standard link selectors are : a : link -- defines the style for normal unvisited links a : visited -- defines the style for visited links a : active -- defines the style for active links ; links become active once you click on them a : hover -- defines the style for hovered links ; links hover when the mouse moves over it Colors are defined by hexadecimal characters : see web colors . / * standard link colors * / . mw - body - content a : link ( color : # 0000FF ; ) / * normal unvisited links * / . mw - body - content a : link : visited ( color : # 0B0080 ; ) / * visited links * / . mw - body - content a : link : active ( color : # FF0000 ; ) / * active links * / . mw - body - content a : link. new ( color : # FF0000 ; ) / * new links * / . mw - body - content a : link. interwiki ( color : # 3366BB ; ) / * interwiki links * / . mw - body - content a : link. external ( color : # 3366BB ; ) / * external links * / . mw - body - content a : link. stub ( color : # 772233 ; ) / * hovered links * / . mw - body - content a : link ( color : # FF0000 ) . mw - body - content a : visited ( color : # 00FF00 ) . mw - body - content a : hover ( color : # FF00FF ) . mw - body - content a : active ( color : # 0000FF ) Notes : a : hover must come after a : link and a : visited a : active must come after a : hover you need to have ``. mw - body - content '' in front of the standard link definition , because otherwise the default definition on this website will still take precedence over what you have defined . Redirect links Show redirects as green links : . mw - body - content a. mw - redirect ( color : # 308050 ) . mw - body - content a. mw - redirect : visited ( color : # 3070A0 ) External links . mw - body - content a. external ( color : # 008000 ) . mw - body - content a. external : visited ( color : # 008000 ) Other changes You can also format the text in other ways . Text - decoration This allows formatting such as underlines . For example : . mw - body - content a : link ( color : # 000000 ; text - decoration : underline ; ) Possible values are : none underline overline line - through font - family This will change the link font : . mw - body - content a : link ( font - family : monospace ) Scripts User : Anomie / linkclassifier is a popular script that customizes colors to indicate links such as pages to be deleted , nonfree - media , redirects , protected pages and more .

3051392510018822264 | Control unit | Control unit - wikipedia Control unit This article is about the component of a computer 's CPU . For other uses , see Control unit ( disambiguation ) . The control unit ( CU ) is a component of a computer 's central processing unit ( CPU ) that directs the operation of the processor . It tells the computer 's memory , arithmetic / logic unit and input and output devices how to respond to the instructions that have been sent to the processor . It directs the operation of the other units by providing timing and control signals . Most computer resources are managed by the CU . It directs the flow of data between the CPU and the other devices . John von Neumann included the control unit as part of the von Neumann architecture . In modern computer designs , the control unit is typically an internal part of the CPU with its overall role and operation unchanged since its introduction . Contents 1 Functions of the control unit 2 Hardwired control unit 3 Microprogram control unit 4 See also 5 References Functions of the control unit ( edit ) The Control Unit ( CU ) is digital circuitry contained within the processor that coordinates the sequence of data movements into , out of , and between a processor 's many sub-units . The result of these routed data movements through various digital circuits ( sub-units ) within the processor produces the manipulated data expected by a software instruction ( loaded earlier , likely from memory ) . It controls ( conducts ) data flow inside the processor and additionally provides several external control signals to the rest of the computer to further direct data and instructions to / from processor external destinations ( i.e. memory ) . Examples of devices that require a CU are CPUs and graphics processing units ( GPUs ) . The CU receives external instructions or commands which it converts into a sequence of control signals that the CU applies to the data path to implement a sequence of register - transfer level operations . More precisely , the Control Unit ( CU ) is generally a sizable collection of complex digital circuitry interconnecting and directing the many execution units ( i.e. ALU , data buffers , registers ) contained within a CPU . The CU is normally the first CPU unit to accept from an externally stored computer program , a single instruction ( based on the CPU 's instruction set ) . The CU then decodes this individual instruction into several sequential steps ( fetching addresses / data from registers / memory , managing execution ( i.e. data sent to the ALU or I / O ) , and storing the resulting data back into registers / memory ) that controls and coordinates the CPU 's inner works to properly manipulate the data . The design of these sequential steps are based on the needs of each instruction and can range in number of steps , the order of execution , and which units are enabled . Thus by only using a program of set instructions in memory , the CU will configure all the CPU 's data flows as needed to manipulate the data correctly between instructions . This results in a computer that could run a complete program and require no human intervention to make hardware changes between instructions ( as had to be done when using only punch cards for computations before stored programmed computers with CUs were invented ) . These detailed steps from the CU dictate which of the CPU 's interconnecting hardware control signals to enable / disable or which CPU units are selected / de-selected and the unit 's proper order of execution as required by the instruction 's operation to produce the desired manipulated data . Additionally , the CU 's orderly hardware coordination properly sequences these control signals then configures the many hardware units comprising the CPU , directing how data should also be moved , changed , and stored outside the CPU ( i.e. memory ) according to the instruction 's objective . Depending on the type of instruction entering the CU , the order and number of sequential steps produced by the CU could vary the selection and configuration of which parts of the CPU 's hardware are utilized to achieve the instruction 's objective ( mainly moving , storing , and modifying data within the CPU ) . This one feature , that efficiently uses just software instructions to control / select / configure a computer 's CPU hardware ( via the CU ) and eventually manipulates a program 's data , is a significant reason most modern computers are flexible and universal when running various programs . As compared to some 1930s or 1940s computers without a proper CU , they often required rewiring their hardware when changing programs . This CU instruction decode process is then repeated when the Program Counter is incremented to the next stored program address and the new instruction enters the CU from that address , and so on till the programs end . Other more advanced forms of Control Units manage the translation of instructions ( but not the data containing portion ) into several micro-instructions and the CU manages the scheduling of the micro-instructions between the selected execution units to which the data is then channeled and changed according to the execution unit 's function ( i.e. , ALU contains several functions ) . On some processors , the Control Unit may be further broken down into additional units , such as an instruction unit or scheduling unit to handle scheduling , or a retirement unit to deal with results coming from the instruction pipeline . Again , the Control Unit orchestrates the main functions of the CPU : carrying out stored instructions in the software program then directing the flow of data throughout the computer based upon these instructions ( roughly likened to how traffic lights will systematically control the flow of cars ( containing data ) to different locations within the traffic grid ( CPU ) until it parks at the desired parking spot ( memory address / register ) . The car occupants ( data ) then go into the building ( execution unit ) and comes back changed in some way then get back into the car and returns to another location via the controlled traffic grid ) . Hardwired control unit ( edit ) Hardwired control units are implemented through use of combinational logic units , featuring a finite number of gates that can generate specific results based on the instructions that were used to invoke those responses . Hardwired control units are generally faster than microprogrammed designs . Their design uses a fixed architecture -- it requires changes in the wiring if the instruction set is modified or changed . This architecture is preferred in reduced instruction set computers ( RISC ) as they use a simpler instruction set . A controller that uses this approach can operate at high speed ; however , it has little flexibility , and the complexity of the instruction set it can implement is limited . The hardwired approach has become less popular as computers have evolved . Previously , control units for CPUs used ad - hoc logic , and they were difficult to design . ( 1 ) Microprogram control unit ( edit ) Main article : Microcode The idea of microprogramming was introduced by Maurice Wilkes in 1951 as an intermediate level to execute computer program instructions . Microprograms were organized as a sequence of microinstructions and stored in special control memory . The algorithm for the microprogram control unit , unlike the hardwired control unit , is usually specified by flowchart description . The main advantage of the microprogram control unit is the simplicity of its structure . Outputs of the controller are organized in microinstructions and they can be easily replaced .

4954800924107422764 | All Summer in a Day | All Summer in a Day - wikipedia All Summer in a Day Jump to : navigation , search `` All Summer in a Day '' Author Ray Bradbury Country United States Language English Published in The Magazine of Fantasy & Science Fiction Media type Magazine Publication date March 1954 Followed by `` Fahrenheit 451 '' `` All Summer in a Day '' is a science fiction short story by Ray Bradbury , first published in the March 1954 issue of The Magazine of Fantasy & Science Fiction . Contents ( hide ) 1 Plot synopsis 2 Adaptations 2.1 Cast 3 In popular culture 4 Trivia 5 References 6 External links Plot synopsis ( edit ) The story is about a class of students on Venus , which in this story is a world of constant rainstorms , where the Sun is visible for only one hour every seven years . ( This story was written before Mariner 2 discovered that the surface temperature on Venus is higher than the boiling point of water . ) One of the children , Margot , moved to Venus from Earth five years earlier , and she is the only one in her class to remember sunshine , since the Sun shone regularly on Earth . She describes the Sun as `` a penny '' , or `` like a fire in the stove '' , and the other children , being too young ever to have seen it themselves , do not believe her . The other students bully and ostracize her and just before the sun comes out , they lock her in a closet down a tunnel . As the Sun is about to appear , their teacher arrives to take the class outside to enjoy their one hour of sunshine and , in their astonishment and joy , they all forget about Margot . They run , play , skip , jump , and prance about , savoring every second of their newly found freedom . `` It 's much better than sun lamps ! '' one of them cries . Suddenly , a girl catches a raindrop in her hands . Thunder sounds , and they start to pick as many flowers as they can before it starts pouring again and run back inside . At this point , one of them remembers Margot , who is still locked in the closet . Ashamed , they let her out of the closet , standing frozen , embarrassed over what they have done , and unable to `` meet each other 's glances . '' The precious Sun has come and gone and , because of their despicable act , Margot , who loved the Sun the most , has missed it . Adaptations ( edit ) A 30 - minute television adaptation , originally broadcast on the PBS ' children 's series WonderWorks in 1982 . The ending is expanded to show the children atoning for their horrible act by giving Margot flowers that they picked while the Sun was out . The director of photography was Robert Elswit , who went on to become an Academy Award winning cinematographer . Cast ( edit ) Reesa Mallen as Margot Keith Coogan as William Tammy Simpson as Paula Jerry Marshak as Michael Bridget Meade as Lisa Edith Fields as Mrs. Callaghan In popular culture ( edit ) All Summer in a Day is alluded to in a description of main character Oscar Wao , from Junot Díaz 's The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao . `` Sucks a lot to be left out of adolescence , sort of like getting locked in the closet on Venus when the sun appears for the first time in a hundred years . '' Although in Bradbury 's All Summer in a Day , it comes out every seven years . The story also is referenced in chapter 22 of Karen Thompson Walker 's novel The Age of Miracles . The story is referenced in Season 3 Episode 2 of the cartoon Drawn Together when the character Toot is trapped in the closet and does n't get to experience the Wiener Man 's hot dog offerings . Trivia ( edit ) This story is about Venus and the Sun . Coincidentally , author Ray Bradbury died the same day as a very rare celestial event , a transit of Venus across the Sun .

The Twenty - second Amendment to the United States Constitution also sets constraints on who may be elected to the Presidency : No person shall be elected to the office of the President more than twice , and no person who has held the office of President , or acted as President , for more than two years of a term to which some other person was elected President shall be elected to the office of the President more than once . The controversy arising from conspiracy theories over Barack Obama 's citizenship and eligibility for the presidency prompted a number of Republican state and federal legislators to propose legislation aimed at requiring future presidential candidates to release copies of their birth certificates . The Hawaii State legislature went in the opposite direction , to limit the lengths that proponents can go in pursuit of this issue , as the pursuits have drained resources from the state . Contents 1 Federal initiatives 1.1 Electoral College 1.2 Birth certificate 1.3 Hawaii statehood 2 State initiatives 2.1 Alabama 2.2 Arizona 2.3 Colorado 2.4 Connecticut 2.5 Georgia 2.6 Hawaii 2.7 Indiana 2.8 Iowa 2.9 Kansas 2.10 Louisiana 2.11 Maine 2.12 Michigan 2.13 Missouri 2.13. 1 Constitutional amendment 2.13. 2 Legislation 2.13. 3 Other 2.14 Montana 2.15 Nebraska 2.16 New Hampshire 2.17 Oklahoma 2.18 Pennsylvania 2.19 Tennessee 2.20 Texas 3 See also 4 References Federal initiatives ( edit ) Electoral College ( edit ) Activists lobbied members of Congress to reject the Electoral College vote and block Obama 's election as president in its sitting on January 8 , 2009 , to certify and tally the results of the election . Two Republican members of the House of Representatives , John Linder and Ron Paul , were heavily lobbied by activists who believed that the two lawmakers would be more willing than other members of Congress to raise objections to Obama 's confirmation . The lobbying was unsuccessful and Congress unanimously declared Obama to be the winner of the election . Birth certificate ( edit ) `` H.R. 1503 '' redirects here . For the star , see Beta Caeli . Wikisource has original text related to this article : H.R. 1503 ( 2009 ) In March 2009 , Representative Bill Posey , a newly elected Republican from Florida 's 15th congressional district , introduced a bill , H.R. 1503 , in the U.S. House of Representatives . Had this bill been enacted into law , it would have amended the Federal Election Campaign Act of 1971 to require candidates for the Presidency `` to include with the ( campaign ) committee 's statement of organization a copy of the candidate 's birth certificate '' plus supporting documentation . The bill did not initially have any co-sponsors and was introduced without the Republican leadership being informed . Florida Today , the newspaper serving his constituency , commented that the bill `` stems from fringe opponents of President Barack Obama who , during the 2008 election campaign , questioned whether Obama was born in Hawaii , '' but added that Posey 's office `` does not question Obama 's citizenship . '' Posey explained his motivation as being to `` prevent something like this ( controversy ) from happening in the future '' by requiring `` the birth certificate up front and take ( the issue ) off the table '' . His initiative was strongly criticized by Florida Democrats , who accused Posey of trying to `` fan the rumors on the extreme fringe of the Republican Party '' and `` pandering to the right wing '' . Satirist Stephen Colbert also mocked Posey for not addressing rumors that he was `` part alligator '' ; Posey responded by commenting that there was `` no reason to say that I 'm the illegitimate grandson of an alligator '' . He also stated that there was now `` no reason to question '' that Obama is a U.S. citizen . Posey 's bill gained the support of twelve Republican co-sponsors - Representatives John R. Carter , Kenny Marchant , Louie Gohmert , John Culberson , Randy Neugebauer , Mike Conaway and Ted Poe ( all from Texas ) , Rep. John Campbell ( California ) , Rep. Bob Goodlatte ( Virginia ) , Rep. Dan Burton ( Indiana ) , Rep. Marsha Blackburn ( Tennessee ) , and Rep. Trent Franks ( Arizona ) . Republican Senator Tom Coburn ( Oklahoma ) also stated that he would `` likely support it '' if the bill reached the Senate , saying that Obama `` meets the constitutional requirement to be president , '' and that `` It is each state 's responsibility to determine the eligibility of those running for federal office . '' H.R. 1503 was never voted upon by either house of Congress and died when the 111th Congress adjourned at the end of 2010 . Hawaii statehood ( edit ) On July 27 , 2009 , the House of Representatives passed a resolution commemorating the 50th anniversary of Hawaii 's statehood . The resolution , containing language recognizing Hawaii as President Obama 's birth state , passed by a vote of 378 to 0 . Some of the cosponsors of the Posey bill , namely Campbell , Carter and Marchant , did not cast a vote . The House has 435 members when all seats are filled . State initiatives ( edit ) Alabama ( edit ) Legislation introduced in April 2011 by state Senator Slade Blackwell would require any candidate running for an office with an age requirement to present their birth certificate . Arizona ( edit ) On April 19 , 2010 , the Arizona House of Representatives voted in favor of a rider to require presidential candidates `` to submit documents proving they meet the constitutional requirements to be president '' . If enacted , the law would give the Arizona Secretary of State the power to omit a candidate 's name on the state ballot if there is `` reasonable cause '' to believe that the documents are not adequate proof of the requirements for office . The rider passed the Arizona House of Representatives on a 31 -- 29 vote , with only Republicans voting in favor and some Republicans joining with Democrats to oppose . The bill then went to the Arizona State Senate , which declined to vote on the bill before the April 2010 end of legislative session , the deadline for the bill 's passage . In reaction to the proposed legislation , The Arizona Republic referred to it as a `` nutty birther bill '' that would make Arizona seem to be a place where `` any crackpot whim can be enshrined in law '' . Arizona Republican State Representative Cecil Ash , who supported the bill , appeared on CNN 's Anderson Cooper 360 ° to discuss the bill . Ash stated that he believed President Obama was an American citizen , but there has been `` a lot of controversy over the issue '' . Cooper then likened the people who believe there is a birth certificate controversy to people who believe the moon is made of cheese and asked Ash if he knew the moon was not made of cheese without investigation . Ash responded in the affirmative . In January 2011 , similar legislation again was introduced in the Arizona House of Representatives . On April 14 , 2011 the Arizona legislature passed a bill requiring presidential and vice presidential candidates to show the Arizona secretary of state proof that they are natural - born citizens . Such proof could be either a long - form birth certificate or at least two other forms of accepted proof , such as an early baptismal certificate , circumcision certificate or hospital birth record . On April 18 , Governor Jan Brewer vetoed the bill . A state legislator introduced a similar bill in 2012 . In March 2012 , a senate committee voted favorably on a bill that would require candidates for the presidency and vice presidency to submit an affidavit attesting to their eligibility to serve . Colorado ( edit ) Legislation introduced in April 2011 by 11 Republican state legislators would require any elected official to provide proof of citizenship before being sworn in . The bill was not voted out of committee . Connecticut ( edit ) In January 2011 , Connecticut state Sen. Michael McLachlan introduced legislation that would mandate presidential and vice presidential candidates to provide their birth certificates for their names to be placed on the ballot . The bill did not make it out of committee . Georgia ( edit ) In April 2010 , Georgia state representative Mark Hatfield introduced legislation that would require presidential and vice presidential candidates to submit an affidavit `` stating the candidate 's citizenship and age and shall append to the affidavit documents that prove the candidate is a natural born citizen , prove the candidate 's age , and prove that the candidate meets the residency requirements for President of the United States . '' In February 2011 , Hatfield again introduced similar legislation , but it was not voted out of committee . Hawaii ( edit ) In May 2010 , Hawaii enacted a law allowing the state to ignore requests for information if deemed `` duplicative or substantially similar '' to a prior query . In January 2011 , Hawaii state representative Rida Cabanilla introduced legislation allowing the Hawaii Department of Health to provide upon request a copy of the birth certificate of a `` Person of civic prominence '' ( that is , a candidate or officeholder for which United States citizenship is required ) , and to charge the requesting party a surcharge of $100 . Indiana ( edit ) In January 2011 , Indiana state senator Mike Delph introduced legislation requiring presidential candidates to file a certified copy of a birth certificate along with additional documentation to be on the Indiana ballot . The legislation was not voted out of committee . Iowa ( edit ) In March 2011 , Iowa state Senator Kent Sorenson introduced legislation that would require presidential or vice presidential candidates to submit certified copies of their birth certificates , which would be available for public inspection . Kansas ( edit ) In February 2012 , a committee in the Kansas House of Representatives approved a bill that would require candidates for state and federal offices to provide proof of citizenship . Louisiana ( edit ) Legislation introduced in April 2011 by state Senator A.G. Crowe and state Representative Alan Seabaugh would require candidates for federal office to file a birth certificate . The legislation was not voted out of committee . Maine ( edit ) State representative Richard Cebra introduced legislation requiring candidates to submit a birth certificate and government - issued identification . Michigan ( edit ) Legislation introduced in April 2011 by state Representative Mike Callton would require presidential candidates to submit their birth certificates . Missouri ( edit ) Constitutional amendment ( edit ) Fifteen Republican members of the Missouri House of Representatives sponsored an amendment to the Missouri Constitution in March 2009 that would require `` candidates who are required by the Constitution of the United States to be natural born citizens '' to provide a birth certificate to the Missouri Secretary of State to confirm their eligibility . A certificate of live birth would not be accepted . Failure to comply would result in the candidate being deemed ineligible to stand . The only political offices to be affected would be the President and Vice President , which are the only two positions for which there is a specific constitutional citizenship requirement . The proposed amendment is part of a `` voter 's bill of rights '' , which would serve `` as a defense against corruption , fraud , and tyranny '' . Political commentators interpreted the proposal as being `` aimed at advancing the claims of the fringe movement that doubts President Barack Obama 's eligibility to serve as president '' . The proposed amendment , House Joint Resolution No. 34 , was subsequently withdrawn . Legislation ( edit ) In January 2011 , Republican State Representative Lyle Rowland introduced legislation that would require `` proof of identity and proof of United States citizenship '' for all presidential and vice-presidential candidates . '' In May 2011 , the requirement that presidential candidates present proof of natural born citizenship was added but later trimmed from an omnibus election law reform bill . Rowland introduced similar legislation in 2012 . On March 29 , 2012 , the House of Representatives passed legislation that would require presidential or vice presidential candidates to prove their U.S. citizenship before appearing on the ballot . The bill then passed a Missouri senate committee . Other ( edit ) A number of Missouri Republican politicians have continued to support claims and litigation on the citizenship issue . State Representatives Cynthia L. Davis , Timothy W. Jones and Casey Guernsey have committed to participating as plaintiffs in a lawsuit filed in Missouri challenging Obama 's citizenship . State Representative Edgar G.H. Emery told reporters in July 2009 that he `` questions Obama 's citizenship and ... believes his alleged lack of a legitimate birth certificate ignores the Constitution . '' Montana ( edit ) In January 2011 , Montana state representative Bob Wagner introduced legislation requiring all candidates for federal office file affidavits with the Montana secretary of state verifying that they are qualified ; presidential candidates would be required to provide the state with a valid copy of their birth certificates . Nebraska ( edit ) Proposed legislation introduced in January 2011 would have required a presidential or vice presidential candidate to provide proof of birth that includes the names of the candidate 's parents , and proof that the parents were United States citizens at the time of the candidate 's birth ; the candidate would also have to swear of affirm , `` I was born a citizen of the United States of America and was subject exclusively to the jurisdiction of the United States of America , owing allegiance to no other country at the time of my birth . On the day I was born , both my birth mother and birth father were citizens of the United States of America . '' The proposed legislation failed to be voted out of committee . New Hampshire ( edit ) Legislation introduced in March 2011 would have required presidential candidates to present their birth certificates when filing their nomination papers ; the proposed enactment date was changed to 2013 and thus would not have affected the 2012 presidential elections . The proposed legislation was not voted out of committee . Similar legislation proposed in 2012 also was not voted out of committee . Oklahoma ( edit ) Oklahoma Republican state Representative Mike Ritze proposed a bill in December 2008 , requiring any candidate for public office in Oklahoma to show proof of citizenship . Ritze declared that he `` does not believe Obama submitted an authentic copy of his birth certificate '' . He also unsuccessfully approached Oklahoma Republican Senators Tom Coburn and James Inhofe to persuade them to mount a challenge to Obama 's confirmation by Congress . The bill , House Bill 1329 , was criticized by The Norman Transcript newspaper as `` an outright attempt to embarrass President Barack Obama whose own citizenship was questioned , mostly by those pajama guerrillas trolling on the Internet '' . The bill gained a 23 -- 20 vote in favor , but failed to meet the 25 - vote threshold required to pass . In February 2011 , similar legislation was reintroduced in the Oklahoma state senate . Pennsylvania ( edit ) Legislation introduced in April 2011 by state Representative Daryl Metcalfe would require candidates for president and vice president to provide proof of citizenship to qualify for a spot on the state ballot . Tennessee ( edit ) In Tennessee , four Republican state Representatives -- Stacey Campfield , Glen Casada , Frank S. Niceley and Eric H. Swafford -- announced in February 2009 that they would be joining a legal action to force Obama to release his birth certificate and prove his citizenship . Casada , the Tennessee House Republican caucus chairman , said that he believes Obama has further proof of eligibility , and would like him to make it available : `` Yes , people may say , you 're just chasing some conspiracy theory ... ( but ) it 's a simple act on his part to just do , and we 're done -- move on . '' The alternative newspaper Nashville Scene described Swafford as joining a `` wacky legal action '' and quoted Tennessee house Democrat Larry Miller as saying : `` What is the mentality of these kind of people who continuously make these kind of goofy statements ? It 's embarrassing . '' Attorney Orly Taitz of California said she planned to file the suit , representing the Defend Our Freedoms Foundation . Legislation proposed in January 2011 would require anyone running for elected office to furnish a birth certificate before being declared an eligible candidate . '' It failed to be voted out of a subcommittee . In January 2016 , two Democratic legislators proposed barring the Secretary of State from placing on the ballot any presidential or vice-presidential candidate who was not a natural - born citizen . Texas ( edit ) On November 16 , 2010 , Texas state representative Leo Berman introduced legislation requiring any candidate for president or vice president running in Texas to submit to the Texas Secretary of State an `` original birth certificate indicating that the person is a natural - born United States citizen . '' In introducing the bill , Berman said that the `` bill is necessary because we have a president whom the American people do n't know whether he was born in Kenya or some other place . '' If signed into law , the bill would take effect September 1 , 2011 , about 6 months ahead of the Texas presidential primaries for the 2012 presidential election . By inserting the word `` original '' into the bill , Berman addressed concerns by conspiracy theorists that other bills that do not contain that word are `` flawed '' . His bill would therefore specifically disallow the use of the reproduced certificate that Obama has used since June 2008 as evidence . The legality of such a bill is unknown , as reproduced certificates are generally accepted by government agencies as proof of birth .

( October 2015 ) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message ) Würstl , virsli or European vienna sausage Smoked Vienna sausages North American Vienna sausage in tomato sauce A Vienna sausage ( German : Wiener Würstchen , Wiener ; Viennese / Austrian German : Frankfurter Würstel or Würstl ; Swiss German Wienerli ; Swabian : Wienerle or Saitenwurst ) is a kind of sausage that is traditionally made from pork and beef . The word Wiener means Viennese in German . In Austria the term `` Wiener '' is uncommon for this food item , which instead is usually called Frankfurter Würstl . The ingredients , preparation , size and taste can vary widely by both manufacturer and region of sale . Contents ( hide ) 1 Europe 2 North America 3 See also 4 References Europe ( edit ) In some European countries , cooked and often smoked wiener sausages bought fresh from supermarkets , delicatessens and butcher shops may be called by a name ( such as in German or French ) which translates in English as `` Vienna sausage . '' Traditionally , they are made from spiced ham . Wieners sold as Vienna sausage in Europe have a taste and texture very much like North American `` hot dogs '' or `` frankfurters '' , but are usually longer and somewhat thinner , with a very light , edible casing . European Vienna sausage served hot in a long bun with condiments is often called a `` hot dog '' , referring not to the wiener itself , but to the long sandwich as a whole . North America ( edit ) In North America the term `` Vienna sausage '' has most often come to mean only smaller and much shorter smoked and canned wieners , rather than hot dogs . North American vienna sausages are made similarly to pork wieners , finely ground to a paste consistency and mixed with salt and spices , most notably mustard , then stuffed into a long casing , sometimes smoked , and always thoroughly cooked , after which the casings are removed as with hot dogs . The sausages are then cut into short segments for canning and further cooking . They are available plain ( in a gelatin , similar to aspic ) or with a variety of flavorings , such as smoke , chili or barbecue sauces .

-8523117250875693120 | String Quartets, Op. 76 (Haydn) | String Quartets , Op. 76 ( Haydn ) - wikipedia String Quartets , Op. 76 ( Haydn ) The six String Quartets , Op. 76 by Joseph Haydn were composed in 1797 or 1798 and dedicated to the Hungarian count Joseph Georg von Erdődy ( 1754 -- 1824 ) . They form the last complete set of string quartets that Haydn composed . At the time of the commission , Haydn was employed at the court of Prince Nicolaus Esterházy II and was composing the oratorio The Creation as well as Princess Maria Hermenegild Esterházy 's annual mass . Although accounts left by visitors to the Esterházy estate indicate that the quartets were completed by 1797 , an exclusivity agreement caused them not to be published until 1799 . Correspondence between Haydn and his Viennese publishers Artaria reveal confusion as regards their release : Haydn had promised Messrs. Longman Clementi & Co. in London the first publishing rights , but a lack of communication led him to worry that their publication in Vienna might also be , unintentionally , their first appearance in full . In the event , their publication in London and Vienna was almost simultaneous . The Op. 76 quartets are among Haydn 's most ambitious chamber works , deviating more than their predecessors from standard sonata form and each emphasizing their thematic continuity through the seamless and near - continual exchange of motifs between instruments . In addition to not using the expected sonata form in some of the string quartet 's first movements , Haydn employs uncommon forms in other movements such as a cannon , a fantasy and an alternativo . He also plays with tempo markings , key signatures and many sections emphasizing the viola and cello . Charles Burney wrote to Haydn praising these innovations : ... they are full of invention , fire , good taste , and new effects , and seem the production , not of a sublime genius who has written so much and so well already , but of one of highly - cultivated talents , who had expended none of his fire before . The set is one of the most renowned of Haydn 's string quartet collections . Contents ( hide ) 1 Opus 76 , No. 1 1.1 First movement 1.2 Second movement 1.3 Third movement 1.4 Fourth movement 2 Opus 76 , No. 2 ( `` Fifths '' ) 2.1 First movement 2.2 Second movement 2.3 Third movement 2.4 Fourth movement 3 Opus 76 , No. 3 ( `` Emperor '' ) 4 Opus 76 , No. 4 ( `` Sunrise '' ) 4.1 First movement analysis 5 Opus 76 , No. 5 6 Opus 76 , No. 6 6.1 First movement 6.2 Second movement 6.3 Thirds movement 6.4 Fourth movement 7 See also 8 Notes 9 Footnotes 10 References 11 External links Opus 76 , No. 1 ( edit ) This G - major quartet is numbered variously as No. 60 , No. 40 ( in the FHE ) and No. 75 ( in the Hoboken catalogue , where its full designation is Hob. III : 75 ) . It consists of four movements : Allegro con spirito Adagio sostenuto Menuetto . Presto Allegro ma non troppo Although its opening key signature indicates that the work is in G major , the quartet moves in and out of G minor and the last movement begins in the key of G minor . First movement ( edit ) An alla breve written in G major , is in sonata form . After a short introduction , the exposition begins in measure 3 , ending in the dominant key of D major in measure 88 . The development section lasts from measure 89 - 139 , with the recapitulation beginning in G major in measure 140 . Second movement ( edit ) Written in C major and 2 / 4 time the movement uses sonata form . It has a hymn - like character and has been compared with the slow movements of Mozart 's Jupiter symphony and Haydn 's own 99th symphony . Third movement ( edit ) The third movement in G major is the minuet , but , unusual in a minuet written at this time , the tempo indication is Presto , giving it the feel of a scherzo when played . The trio section is more lyrical and features the first violin playing a Ländler while accompanied pizzicato . Fourth movement ( edit ) A finale , alla breve in sonata form , is written in G minor rather than the expected G major , producing an unusual , darker ambience until G major returns for the movement 's coda . Opus 76 , No. 2 ( `` fifths '' ) ( edit ) This quartet in D minor is numbered as No. 61 , No. 41 ( in the FHE ) and Hob. III : 76 . In a reference to the falling perfect fifths at its start , it is known as the Fifths ( or , in German , die Quinten ) quartet . The movements are : Allegro Andante o più tosto allegretto Menuetto . Allegro ma non troppo Vivace assai First movement ( edit ) It is written in d minor , common time and is in sonata form . The falling fifths motif dominates the exposition section and is featured heavily in the development section using inversion , stretto and other devices . Second movement ( edit ) It is a ternary variation form in D major and 6 / 8 time . Third movement ( edit ) A d - minor minuet in 3 / 4 time . It is unusual in that the movement is written like a cannon and the trio section is written in the tonic major key as opposed to a relative key ( in D major ) . It has been called the `` Witches ' Minuet '' ( `` Hexenminuett '' ) . The minuet is actually a two - part canon : the two violins play ( in parallel octaves ) above the viola and cello ( also playing in parallel octaves ) who follow one measure behind the violins . Haydn previously used a two - part canon with the lower string trailing the upper strings by a single bar in the minuet of his 44th Symphony . Fourth movement ( edit ) The last movement , in d minor and 2 / 4 time , uses sonata allegro form . It ends in D major . Opus 76 , No. 3 ( `` Emperor '' ) ( edit ) The Quartet No. 62 in C major , Op. 76 , No. 3 , boasts the nickname Emperor , because in the second movement is a set of variations on `` Gott erhalte Franz den Kaiser '' ( `` God Save Emperor Francis '' ) , an anthem he wrote for Emperor Francis II . This same melody is known to modern listeners for its later use in the German national anthem , the Deutschlandlied . The quartet consists of four movements : I. Allegro II . Poco adagio ; cantabile III . Menuetto . Allegro IV . Finale . Presto The first movement of the quartet is in the home key of C major , in common time , and is written in sonata form . The second movement , in G major cut time , is in strophic variation form , with the `` Emperor 's Hymn '' as the theme . The third movement , in C major and A minor , is a standard minuet and trio . The fourth movement , in C minor and C major , is in sonata form . Samuel Adler has singled out this work 's second movement as an outstanding example of how to score for string instruments , observing of the movement 's final variation : This is a wonderful lesson in orchestration , for too often the extremes in the range are wasted too early in a work , and the final buildup is , as a result , anticlimactic . The other formal factor to notice is that the entire structure is an accumulation of the elements which have slowly entered the harmonic and contrapuntal scheme in the course of the variations and have become a natural part of the statement ( i.e. theme ) . Opus 76 , No. 4 ( `` sunrise '' ) ( edit ) The Quartet No. 63 in B flat major , Op. 76 , No. 4 , is nicknamed Sunrise due to the rising theme over sustained chords that begins the quartet . It consists of four movements : I. Allegro con spirito II . Adagio III . Menuetto . Allegro IV . Finale . Allegro , ma non troppo First movement analysis ( edit ) Exposition The opening of the movement begins in a way that seemingly contradicts the allegro con spirito marking . Violin II , viola , and cello sustain a tonic chord while the first violin plays the melody ( the `` sunrise '' motif ) on top . In measure 7 , the same instruments sustain a dominant 7th chord while the first violin again plays a rising solo on top . In measure 22 , all instruments reach forte , and allegro con spirito character is apparent through the 16th - note movement and lively staccato eighth - notes trading off between the parts . In measure 37 , the opening sunrise theme returns , this time with the solo in the cello and the sustained chords in the violins and viola . The lively 16th - note section returns in measure 50 , beginning with 16th - notes in the cello which move to the viola , and finally , the violins . In measure 60 , all instruments drop to piano for a six - measure staccato eighth - note section before jumping to an all 16th - note ff in measure 66 to finish off the exposition . Development The development in measure 69 begins with the same texture as does the opening of the movement -- with the 2nd violin , viola , and cello sustaining a chord while the 1st violin plays a solo on top . The first chord , sustained from bars 69 - 72 , is ad minor chord , the relative minor of the dominant F major . The second chord , sustained from bars 75 - 79 , is an F sharp diminished seventh chord , resolving to G minor in measure 80 , which signifies the return of trading moving 16th - notes . The following 5 measures revolve around G minor , only to modulate to E-flat major in measure 86 . The major tonality lasts but two measures , as it shifts to F minor in measure 88 , F sharp diminished in 89 , and G minor in measure 90 . In measure 96 , the violins play staccato eighth - notes followed by eighth note rests , while the viola and cello fill in the violins ' eighth note rests with their own eighth notes . This sets up a pattern for the rest of the development section , in which one instrument , mainly the 1st violin ( in measures 98 - 102 ) , fills in an eighth - rest with a lone eighth - note , thus giving each measure a steady eighth - note pulse . Throughout this section , the dynamic gradually drops from forte to pianissimo by means of a poco a poco decrescendo . When the pianissimo is finally reached in measure 105 , the retransition to the recapitulation begins , ending on the dominant seventh chord ( F ) of the original key , B flat Major . Recapitulation In measure 108 , the beginning of the recapitulation begins just as the beginning of the exposition does -- the 2nd violin , viola , and cello sustaining a tonic chord while the 1st violin plays the sunrise motif above it . In measure 135 , the allegro con spirito 16th - note section returns in the 1st violin , punctuated by staccato eighth - notes in the other instruments . The 16th - notes trade off to the 2nd violin , culminating in an all - instrument unison in measure 140 . After this , the opening theme returns again , with the solo line beginning with the cello and moving up through the viola to the 2nd violin . In measure 151 , all strings crescendo to the returning 16th - note theme in measure 152 . In measure 162 , the staccato eighth - note trade - off section returns , in the tonic key and piano dynamic . A fortissimo appears in measure 172 , beginning the lead into the I7 chord fermata . Beginning in the following measure , the viola , and two violins pass each other the opening sunrise motif for a measure at a time , while the remaining instruments sustain chords . The tonic returns in measure 181 , with a brief teaser of the staccato eighth - note theme , to be replaced by the 16th - notes played by all instruments in the fortissimo dynamic . In the final three bars , all four instruments play a succession of tonic B flat major chords . Opus 76 , No. 5 ( edit ) The Quartet No. 64 in D major , Op. 76 , No. 5 , consists of four movements : I. Allegretto II . Largo . Cantabile e mesto III . Menuetto . Allegro IV . Finale . Presto The first movement ( in D major , 6 / 8 time ) departs from the sonata form of the first four to what Robin Golding can only describe as `` unorthodox variations '' . The second movement , written in F - sharp major in cut time , is in sonata form . The third movement , in D major and D minor , is a standard minuet and trio , while the fourth movement 's D Major , cut time Presto is in an irregular sonata form . Opus 76 , No. 6 ( edit ) The Quartet No. 65 in E-flat major , Op. 76 , No. 6 , consists of four movements : I. Allegretto - Allegro II . Fantasia . Adagio III . Menuetto . Presto IV . Finale . Allegro spiritoso The string quartet departs from common string quartet norms of his time including innovations such as changing time signatures , impromptu like themes and breaking traditional forms such as sonata form and binary forms and quoting an entire theme from another string quartet . First movement ( edit ) Written in 2 / 4 time , instead of employing the typical sonata form it is written in the strophic variation form . Second movement ( edit ) A fantasia written in the key of B major ( without a key signature ) 3 / 4 time . According to Keller , author of The Great Haydn Quartets , the composer quotes in a different key his own second movement from Op. 76 , no . 4 `` Sunrise '' Quartet . Indeed , the two basic motifs are identical aside from the difference in key signature : the first violin begins on the note of the key in each , goes down a half step , and returns to the original note in both movements , all under a slur in 3 / 4 time . Additionally , in both pieces , the viola and cello play in slurred succession the notes in the 3rd , 4th , 3rd and 1st , 2nd , 1st scale degrees , respectively . All of this occurs while the 2nd violin holds the 5th scale degree for the duration of the measure . Thirds movement ( edit ) A minuet form in 3 / 4 time employing an old form in which the minuet section is in standard binary form while an alternativo section ( one single non-repeated section ) replaces the more common trio ( in binary form with two repeated sections ) . The alternativo section is built upon a series of ascending and descending iambic scales where Haydn inverts the instrumentation from violin I to the cello and then cello through violin I several times . Fourth movement ( edit ) A frantic finale , in 3 / 4 time . It is in sonata form .

For the Star of David in Islam , see Seal of Solomon . For use in Christianity and other Abrahamic religions , see Star of David in the Abrahamic religions . For other uses , see Hexagram . `` Jewish Star '' redirects here . For the newspaper , see The Jewish Star . `` Magen David '' redirects here . For the halakhic commentator , see David HaLevi Segal . Star of David The Star of David ( ✡ ) , known in Hebrew as the Shield of David or Magen David ( Hebrew מָגֵן דָּוִד ; Biblical Hebrew Māḡēn Dāwīḏ ( maːˈɣeːn daːˈwiːð ) , Tiberian ( mɔˈɣen dɔˈvið ) , Modern Hebrew ( maˈɡen daˈvid ) , Ashkenazi Hebrew and Yiddish Mogein Dovid ( ˈmɔɡeɪn ˈdɔvid ) or Mogen Dovid ) , is a generally recognized symbol of modern Jewish identity and Judaism . Its shape is that of a hexagram , the compound of two equilateral triangles . Unlike the menorah , the Lion of Judah , the shofar and the lulav , the Star of David was never a uniquely Jewish symbol , although it had been used in that way as a printer 's colophon since the sixteenth century . During the 19th century the symbol began to proliferate among the Jewish communities of Eastern Europe , ultimately being used among the Jewish communities in the Pale of Settlement . A significant motivating factor , according to scholar Gershom Sholem , was the desire to represent Jewish religion and / or identity in the same manner the Christian cross identified that religion 's believers . The earliest Jewish usage of the symbol was inherited from medieval Arabic literature by Kabbalists for use in talismanic protective amulets ( segulot ) where it was known as a Seal of Solomon . The symbol was also used in Christian churches as a decorative motif many centuries before its first known use in a Jewish synagogue . Before the 19th century , official use in Jewish communities was generally known only in the region of today 's Czech Republic , Austria and possibly parts of Southern Germany , having begun in medieval Prague . The symbol became representative of the worldwide Zionist community , and later the broader Jewish community , after it was chosen as the central symbol on a flag at the First Zionist Congress in 1897 . The identification of the term `` Star of David '' or `` Shield of David '' with the hexagram shape dates to the 17th century . The term `` Shield of David '' is also used in the Siddur ( Jewish prayer book ) as a title of the God of Israel . Contents ( hide ) 1 History of Jewish usage 1.1 Early use as an ornament 1.2 Kabbalistic use 1.3 Official usage in Central European communities 1.4 As a symbol of Judaism and the Jewish community 1.5 The Holocaust 2 Contemporary use 2.1 Use in sports 3 Origin of the name 4 Miscellaneous 5 Gallery 6 See also 7 References 8 Further reading 9 External links History of Jewish usage Early use as an ornament The Star of David in the oldest surviving complete copy of the Masoretic text , the Leningrad Codex , dated 1008 . The hexagram does appear occasionally in Jewish contexts since antiquity , apparently as a decorative motif . For example , in Israel , there is a stone bearing a hexagram from the arch of a 3rd -- 4th century synagogue in the Galilee . Originally , the hexagram may have been employed as an architectural ornament on synagogues , as it is , for example , on the cathedrals of Brandenburg and Stendal , and on the Marktkirche at Hanover . A pentagram in this form is found on the ancient synagogue at Tell Hum . In the synagogues , perhaps , it was associated with the mezuzah . The use of the hexagram in a Jewish context as a possibly meaningful symbol may occur as early as the 11th century , in the decoration of the carpet page of the famous Tanakh manuscript , the Leningrad Codex dated 1008 . Similarly , the symbol illuminates a medieval Tanakh manuscript dated 1307 belonging to Rabbi Yosef bar Yehuda ben Marvas from Toledo , Spain . A Siddur dated 1512 from Prague displays a large hexagram on the cover with the phrase , `` He will merit to bestow a bountiful gift on anyone who grasps the Shield of David . '' Kabbalistic use Page of segulot in a mediaeval Kabbalistic grimoire ( Sefer Raziel HaMalakh , 13th century ) A hexagram has been noted on a Jewish tombstone in Taranto , Apulia in Southern Italy , which may date as early as the third century CE . The Jews of Apulia were noted for their scholarship in Kabbalah , which has been connected to the use of the Star of David . Medieval Kabbalistic grimoires show hexagrams among the tables of segulot , but without identifying them as `` Shield of David '' . In the Renaissance Period , in the 16th - century Land of Israel , the book Ets Khayim conveys the Kabbalah of Ha - Ari ( Rabbi Isaac Luria ) who arranges the traditional items on the seder plate for Passover into two triangles , where they explicitly correspond to Jewish mystical concepts . The six sfirot of the masculine Zer Anpin correspond to the six items on the seder plate , while the seventh sfira being the feminine Malkhut corresponds to the plate itself . However , these seder - plate triangles are parallel , one above the other , and do not actually form a hexagram . According to G.S. Oegema ( 1996 ) Isaac Luria provided the hexagram with a further mystical meaning . In his book Etz Chayim he teaches that the elements of the plate for the Seder evening have to be placed in the order of the hexagram : above the three sefirot `` Crown '' , `` Wisdom '' , and `` Insight '' , below the other seven . Similarly , M. Costa wrote that M. Gudemann and other researchers in the 1920s claimed that Isaac Luria was influential in turning the Star of David into a national Jewish emblem by teaching that the elements of the plate for the Seder evening have to be placed in the order of the hexagram . Gershom Scholem ( 1990 ) disagrees with this view , arguing that Isaac Luria talked about parallel triangles one beneath the other and not about the hexagram . The Star of David at least since the 20th century remains associated with the number seven and thus with the Menorah , and popular accounts associate it with the six directions of space plus the center ( under the influence of the description of space found in the Sefer Yetsira : Up , Down , East , West , South , North , and Center ) , or the Six Sefirot of the Male ( Zeir Anpin ) united with the Seventh Sefirot of the Female ( Nukva ) . Some say that one triangle represents the ruling tribe of Judah and the other the former ruling tribe of Benjamin . It is also seen as a dalet and yud , the two letters assigned to Judah . There are 12 Vav , or `` men , '' representing the 12 tribes or patriarchs of Israel . Official usage in central european communities Historical flag of the Jewish Community in Prague In 1354 , King of Bohemia Charles IV prescribed for the Jews of Prague a red flag with both David 's shield and Solomon 's seal , while the red flag with which the Jews met King Matthias of Hungary in the 15th century showed two pentagrams with two golden stars . In 1460 , the Jews of Ofen ( Budapest , Hungary ) received King Matthias Corvinus with a red flag on which were two Shields of David and two stars . In the first Hebrew prayer book , printed in Prague in 1512 , a large hexagram appears on the cover . In the colophon is written : `` Each man beneath his flag according to the house of their fathers ... and he will merit to bestow a bountiful gift on anyone who grasps the Shield of David . '' In 1592 , Mordechai Maizel was allowed to affix `` a flag of King David , similar to that located on the Main Synagogue '' on his synagogue in Prague . Following the Battle of Prague ( 1648 ) , the Jews of Prague were again granted a flag , in recognition in their contribution to the city 's defense . That flag showed a yellow hexagram on a red background , with a star placed in the center of the hexagram . As a symbol of Judaism and the Jewish community Herzl 's proposed flag , as sketched in his diaries . Although he drew a Star of David , he did not describe it as such Max Bodenheimer 's ( top left ) and Herzl 's ( top right ) 1897 drafts of the Zionist flag , compared to the final version used at the 1897 First Zionist Congress ( bottom ) Béla Guttmann , footballer for Hakoah Vienna The symbol became representative of the worldwide Zionist community , and later the broader Jewish community , after it was chosen to represent the First Zionist Congress in 1897 . A year before the congress , Herzl had written in his 1896 Der Judenstaat : We have no flag , and we need one . If we desire to lead many men , we must raise a symbol above their heads . I would suggest a white flag , with seven golden stars . The white field symbolizes our pure new life ; the stars are the seven golden hours of our working - day . For we shall march into the Promised Land carrying the badge of honor . David Wolffsohn ( 1856 -- 1914 ) , a businessman prominent in the early Zionist movement , was aware that the nascent Zionist movement had no official flag , and that the design proposed by Theodor Herzl was gaining no significant support , wrote : At the behest of our leader Herzl , I came to Basle to make preparations for the Zionist Congress . Among many other problems that occupied me then was one that contained something of the essence of the Jewish problem . What flag would we hang in the Congress Hall ? Then an idea struck me . We have a flag -- and it is blue and white . The talith ( prayer shawl ) with which we wrap ourselves when we pray : that is our symbol . Let us take this Talith from its bag and unroll it before the eyes of Israel and the eyes of all nations . So I ordered a blue and white flag with the Shield of David painted upon it . That is how the national flag , that flew over Congress Hall , came into being . In the early 20th century , the symbol began to be used to express Jewish affiliations in sports . Hakoah Vienna was a Jewish sports club founded in Vienna , Austria , in 1909 whose teams competed with the Star of David on the chest of their uniforms , and won the 1925 Austrian League soccer championship . Similarly , The Philadelphia Sphas basketball team in Philadelphia ( whose name was an acronym of its founding South Philadelphia Hebrew Association ) wore a large Star of David on their jerseys to proudly proclaim their Jewish identity , as they competed in the first half of the 20th century . In boxing , Benny `` the Ghetto Wizard '' Leonard ( who said he felt as though he was fighting for all Jews ) fought with a Star of David embroidered on his trunks in the 1910s . World heavyweight boxing champion Max Baer fought with a Star of David on his trunks as well , notably , for the first time as he knocked out Nazi Germany hero Max Schmeling in 1933 ; Hitler never permitted Schmeling to fight a Jew again . The Holocaust Main article : Yellow badge The yellow badge A Star of David , often yellow , was used by the Nazis during the Holocaust to identify Jews . After the German invasion of Poland in 1939 , there initially were different local decrees forcing Jews to wear distinct signs ( e.g. in the General Government , a white armband with a blue Star of David ; in the Warthegau , a yellow badge , in the form of a Star of David , on the left breast and on the back ) . If a Jew was found in public without the star , he could be severely punished . The requirement to wear the Star of David with the word Jude ( German for Jew ) was then extended to all Jews over the age of six in the Reich and in the Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia ( by a decree issued on September 1 , 1941 and signed by Reinhard Heydrich ) and was gradually introduced in other Nazi - occupied areas . Others , however , wore the Star of David as a symbol of defiance against Nazi antisemitism , as in the case of United States Army private Hal Baumgarten , who wore a Star of David emblazoned on his back during the 1944 invasion of Normandy . Contemporary use The flag of Israel The flag of Israel , depicting a blue Star of David on a white background , between two horizontal blue stripes was adopted on October 28 , 1948 , five months after the country 's establishment . The origins of the flag 's design date from the First Zionist Congress in 1897 ; the flag has subsequently been known as the `` flag of Zion '' . Many Modern Orthodox synagogues , and many synagogues of other Jewish movements , have the Israeli flag with the Star of David prominently displayed at the front of the synagogues near the Ark containing the Torah scrolls . Magen David Adom ( MDA ) ( `` Red Star of David '' or , translated literally , `` Red Shield of David '' ) is Israel 's only official emergency medical , disaster , ambulance service . It has been an official member of the International Committee of the Red Cross since June 2006 . According to the Israel Ministry of Foreign Affairs , Magen David Adom was boycotted by the International Committee of the Red Cross , which refused to grant the organization membership because `` it was ( ... ) argued that having an emblem used by only one country was contrary to the principles of universality . '' Other commentators said the ICRC did not recognize the medical and humanitarian use of this Jewish symbol , a Red Shield , alongside the Christian cross and the Muslim crescent . Use in sports Since 1948 , the Star of David has carried the dual significance of representing both the state of Israel , and Jewish identity in general . In the United States especially , it continues to be used in the latter sense by a number of athletes . In baseball , Jewish major leaguer Gabe Kapler had a Star of David tattooed on his left calf in 2000 , with the words `` strong - willed '' and `` strong - minded '' , major leaguer Mike `` SuperJew '' Epstein drew a Star of David on his baseball glove , and major leaguer Ron Blomberg had a Star of David emblazoned in the knob of his bat which is on display at the Baseball Hall of Fame . NBA basketball star Amar'e Stoudemire , who says he is spiritually and culturally Jewish , had a Star of David tattoo put on his left hand in 2010 . NFL football defensive end Igor Olshansky has Star of David tattoos on each side of his neck , near his shoulders . Israeli golfer Laetitia Beck displays a blue - and - white magen david symbol on her golf apparel . In boxing , Jewish light heavyweight world champion Mike `` The Jewish Bomber '' Rossman fought with a Star of David embroidered on his boxing trunks , and also has a blue Star of David tattoo on the outside of his right calf . Other boxers fought with Stars of David embroidered on their trunks include world lightweight champion , world light heavyweight boxing champion Battling Levinsky , Barney Ross ( world champion as a lightweight , as a junior welterweight , and as a welterweight ) , world flyweight boxing champion Victor `` Young '' Peres , world bantamweight champion Alphonse Halimi , and more recently World Boxing Association super welterweight champion Yuri Foreman , light welterweight champion Cletus Seldin , and light middleweight Boyd Melson . Welterweight Zachary `` Kid Yamaka '' Wohlman has a tattoo of a Star of David across his stomach , and welterweight Dmitriy Salita even boxes under the nickname `` Star of David '' . Maccabi clubs still use the Star of David in their emblems . Origin of the name The Jewish Encyclopedia cites a 12th - century Karaite document as the earliest Jewish literary source to mention a symbol called `` Magen Dawid '' ( without specifying its shape ) . The name ' Shield of David ' was used by at least the 11th century as a title of the God of Israel , independent of the use of the symbol . The phrase occurs independently as a Divine title in the Siddur , the traditional Jewish prayer book , where it poetically refers to the Divine protection of ancient King David and the anticipated restoration of his dynastic house , perhaps based on Psalm 18 , which is attributed to David , and in which God is compared to a shield ( v. 31 and v. 36 ) . The term occurs at the end of the `` Samkhaynu / Gladden us '' blessing , which is recited after the reading of the Haftara portion on Saturday and holidays . The earliest known text related to Judaism which mentions a sign called the `` Shield of David '' is Eshkol Ha - Kofer by the Karaite Judah Hadassi , in the mid-12th century CE : Seven names of angels precede the mezuzah : Michael , Gabriel , etc . ... Tetragrammaton protect you ! And likewise the sign , called the `` Shield of David '' , is placed beside the name of each angel . This book is of Karaite , and not of Rabbinic Jewish origin , and it does not describe the shape of the sign in any way . Miscellaneous In Unicode , the `` Star of David '' symbol is U + 2721 ( ✡ ︎ ) . The world 's largest Star of David ( 2,400 metres ( 7,900 ft ) diameter ) is at Harold Holt Naval Communications Station , Exmouth , Australia at 21 ° 48 ′ 57 '' S 114 ° 09 ′ 57 '' E / 21.815927 ° S 114.165888 ° E / - 21.815927 ; 114.165888 .

There is very little doubt that terms like these first became popular among the Arabs , who showed a tremendous interest in all the occult sciences , arranging and ordering them systematically long before the Practical Cabalists thought of doing so . It is not to be wondered at , therefore , that for a long time both the five - pointed and the six - pointed stars were called by one name , the `` Seal of Solomon , '' and that no distinction was made between them . This name is obviously related to the Jewish legend of Solomon 's dominion over the spirits , and of his ring with the Ineffable Name engraved on it . These legends expanded and proliferated in a marked fashion during the Middle Ages , among Jews and Arabs alike , but the name , `` Seal of Solomon , '' apparently originated with the Arabs . This term they did not apply to any one design exclusively ; they applied it to an entire series of seven seals to which they attributed extreme potency in putting to flight the forces of the Demon .

On the wall of the old synagogue of the community of Budweis ( Southern Bohemia ) , which was abandoned by the Jews in 1641 , there are representations of Shields of David alternating with roses ; apparently this is the oldest synagogue outside of Prague on which this symbol is to be found . In his youth , R. Jonathan Eybeschuetz might have been able to see it on the seal of the community of EybeSchuetz . A number of communities in Moravia used as a seal the Shield of David alone , with the addition of the name of the community . Others had on their seals a lion holding the Shield of David , like the community of Weiskirchen at the beginning of the 18th century . In very isolated instances the figure of the Shield of David was used in southern Germany also , doubtless under the influence of the Prague community . In other countries , we do not generally find the Shield of David in use before the beginning of the 19th century , either on community seals , or on the curtains of the Ark , or on Torah mantles .

( December 2015 ) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message ) Marshall has acquired a blue tie with a yellow - duck pattern , which Barney despises because he finds the design unstylish . Now that Lily is pregnant , her breasts have gotten bigger , so Barney wants to see them ; both Lily and Marshall refuse . The group decide to go to `` Shinjitsu '' , a teppanyaki restaurant , for dinner , where Barney insults the cooking style , claiming he can do with ease all the techniques the chef can do . Marshall becomes angry and challenges Barney to do every technique , with permission to touch Lily 's breasts if he succeeds . If Barney fails , he must wear the duck tie for one year . Barney unnerves Marshall and Lily throughout dinner with suggestions that he is as adept at cooking as he claims . When he offers to call off the bet if he is allowed to see Lily 's breasts for 30 seconds in the alley , they accept until Marshall realizes that Barney has been conditioning Marshall to associate Barney 's sneezing with the desire to go to `` Shinjitsu '' as part of a future scheme to use Marshall if Barney ever wanted something from him . Lily and Marshall are confident they have won the bet until after dinner , when Barney easily executes all but one of the cooking techniques . In desperation , Lily pulls up her shirt and flashes her breasts at Barney , which distracts and prevents him from succeeding at the final cooking technique . When the group returns to MacLaren 's , Barney reluctantly begins wearing the ducky tie . Meanwhile , during dinner , Ted relays the story of what happened when he ran into Victoria again at the Architect 's Ball in `` The Naked Truth '' . Ted makes a long - awaited apology for cheating on her , which Victoria accepts , saying she is no longer angry . However , she is surprised to learn that Ted does not find it strange that he , Robin and Barney hang out every night , despite the fact that both men dated and broke up with Robin . When Ted offers to help Victoria wash the dishes at her bakery , he learns that she is going to be engaged to Klaus , a classmate from Germany . He becomes upset when he further learns that she got together with him a day and a half after she and Ted broke up , meaning that he spent years feeling guilty for kissing Robin when Victoria was planning on leaving him for Klaus anyway . They end up arguing , but begin reminiscing about their time together after Ted reveals he deeply regretted cheating on her and they had loved one another ; they end up sharing a kiss . Despite the kiss , Victoria realizes that she wants to be with Klaus and leaves to meet him for a trip in the Hamptons . Though he concludes the story there with his friends , Future Ted reveals that he had asked Victoria what she imagined their lives would be like had they stayed together . Victoria had responded that Ted 's relationships over the past six years have failed because of Robin , telling him that she is a bigger part of his life than he realizes and warns him that the current friendship that he shares with Robin and Barney does n't work . Though Ted had not believed Victoria at the time , Future Ted reveals that she had been right . Reception ( edit ) This section needs expansion . You can help by adding to it .

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

According to the National Park Service , the idea for the Statue of Liberty was first proposed by Édouard René de Laboulaye the president of the French Anti-Slavery Society and a prominent and important political thinker of his time . The project is traced to a mid-1865 conversation between de Laboulaye , a staunch abolitionist and Frédéric Bartholdi , a sculptor . In after - dinner conversation at his home near Versailles , Laboulaye , an ardent supporter of the Union in the American Civil War , is supposed to have said : `` If a monument should rise in the United States , as a memorial to their independence , I should think it only natural if it were built by united effort -- a common work of both our nations . '' The National Park Service , in a 2000 report , however , deemed this a legend traced to an 1885 fundraising pamphlet , and that the statue was most likely conceived in 1870 . In another essay on their website , the Park Service suggested that Laboulaye was minded to honor the Union victory and its consequences , `` With the abolition of slavery and the Union 's victory in the Civil War in 1865 , Laboulaye 's wishes of freedom and democracy were turning into a reality in the United States . In order to honor these achievements , Laboulaye proposed that a gift be built for the United States on behalf of France . Laboulaye hoped that by calling attention to the recent achievements of the United States , the French people would be inspired to call for their own democracy in the face of a repressive monarchy . '' Bartholdi 's design patent According to sculptor Frédéric Auguste Bartholdi , who later recounted the story , Laboulaye 's comment was not intended as a proposal , but it inspired Bartholdi . Given the repressive nature of the regime of Napoleon III , Bartholdi took no immediate action on the idea except to discuss it with Laboulaye . Bartholdi was in any event busy with other possible projects ; in the late 1860s , he approached Isma'il Pasha , Khedive of Egypt , with a plan to build Progress or Egypt Carrying the Light to Asia , a huge lighthouse in the form of an ancient Egyptian female fellah or peasant , robed and holding a torch aloft , at the northern entrance to the Suez Canal in Port Said . Sketches and models were made of the proposed work , though it was never erected . There was a classical precedent for the Suez proposal , the Colossus of Rhodes : an ancient bronze statue of the Greek god of the sun , Helios . This statue is believed to have been over 100 feet ( 30 m ) high , and it similarly stood at a harbor entrance and carried a light to guide ships . Any large project was further delayed by the Franco - Prussian War , in which Bartholdi served as a major of militia . In the war , Napoleon III was captured and deposed . Bartholdi 's home province of Alsace was lost to the Prussians , and a more liberal republic was installed in France . As Bartholdi had been planning a trip to the United States , he and Laboulaye decided the time was right to discuss the idea with influential Americans . In June 1871 , Bartholdi crossed the Atlantic , with letters of introduction signed by Laboulaye . Arriving at New York Harbor , Bartholdi focused on Bedloe 's Island ( now named Liberty Island ) as a site for the statue , struck by the fact that vessels arriving in New York had to sail past it . He was delighted to learn that the island was owned by the United States government -- it had been ceded by the New York State Legislature in 1800 for harbor defense . It was thus , as he put it in a letter to Laboulaye : `` land common to all the states . '' As well as meeting many influential New Yorkers , Bartholdi visited President Ulysses S. Grant , who assured him that it would not be difficult to obtain the site for the statue . Bartholdi crossed the United States twice by rail , and met many Americans who he thought would be sympathetic to the project . But he remained concerned that popular opinion on both sides of the Atlantic was insufficiently supportive of the proposal , and he and Laboulaye decided to wait before mounting a public campaign . Bartholdi 's Lion of Belfort Bartholdi had made a first model of his concept in 1870 . The son of a friend of Bartholdi 's , U.S. artist John LaFarge , later maintained that Bartholdi made the first sketches for the statue during his U.S. visit at La Farge 's Rhode Island studio . Bartholdi continued to develop the concept following his return to France . He also worked on a number of sculptures designed to bolster French patriotism after the defeat by the Prussians . One of these was the Lion of Belfort , a monumental sculpture carved in sandstone below the fortress of Belfort , which during the war had resisted a Prussian siege for over three months . The defiant lion , 73 feet ( 22 m ) long and half that in height , displays an emotional quality characteristic of Romanticism , which Bartholdi would later bring to the Statue of Liberty . Design , style , and symbolism Detail from a fresco by Constantino Brumidi in the U.S. Capitol in Washington , D.C. , showing two early symbols of America : Columbia ( left ) and the Indian princess Bartholdi and Laboulaye considered how best to express the idea of American liberty . In early American history , two female figures were frequently used as cultural symbols of the nation . One of these symbols , the personified Columbia , was seen as an embodiment of the United States in the manner that Britannia was identified with the United Kingdom and Marianne came to represent France . Columbia had supplanted the earlier figure of an Indian princess , which had come to be regarded as uncivilized and derogatory toward Americans . The other significant female icon in American culture was a representation of Liberty , derived from Libertas , the goddess of freedom widely worshipped in ancient Rome , especially among emancipated slaves . A Liberty figure adorned most American coins of the time , and representations of Liberty appeared in popular and civic art , including Thomas Crawford 's Statue of Freedom ( 1863 ) atop the dome of the United States Capitol Building . Artists of the 18th and 19th centuries striving to evoke republican ideals commonly used representations of Libertas as an allegorical symbol . A figure of Liberty was also depicted on the Great Seal of France . However , Bartholdi and Laboulaye avoided an image of revolutionary liberty such as that depicted in Eugène Delacroix 's famed Liberty Leading the People ( 1830 ) . In this painting , which commemorates France 's Revolution of 1830 , a half - clothed Liberty leads an armed mob over the bodies of the fallen . Laboulaye had no sympathy for revolution , and so Bartholdi 's figure would be fully dressed in flowing robes . Instead of the impression of violence in the Delacroix work , Bartholdi wished to give the statue a peaceful appearance and chose a torch , representing progress , for the figure to hold . Crawford 's statue was designed in the early 1850s . It was originally to be crowned with a pileus , the cap given to emancipated slaves in ancient Rome . Secretary of War Jefferson Davis , a Southerner who would later serve as President of the Confederate States of America , was concerned that the pileus would be taken as an abolitionist symbol . He ordered that it be changed to a helmet . Delacroix 's figure wears a pileus , and Bartholdi at first considered placing one on his figure as well . Instead , he used a diadem , or crown , to top its head . In so doing , he avoided a reference to Marianne , who invariably wears a pileus . The seven rays form a halo or aureole . They evoke the sun , the seven seas , and the seven continents , and represent another means , besides the torch , whereby Liberty enlightens the world . Bartholdi 's early models were all similar in concept : a female figure in neoclassical style representing liberty , wearing a stola and pella ( gown and cloak , common in depictions of Roman goddesses ) and holding a torch aloft . According to popular accounts , the face was modeled after that of Charlotte Beysser Bartholdi , the sculptor 's mother , but Regis Huber , the curator of the Bartholdi Museum is on record as saying that this , as well as other similar speculations , have no basis in fact . He designed the figure with a strong , uncomplicated silhouette , which would be set off well by its dramatic harbor placement and allow passengers on vessels entering New York Bay to experience a changing perspective on the statue as they proceeded toward Manhattan . He gave it bold classical contours and applied simplified modeling , reflecting the huge scale of the project and its solemn purpose . Bartholdi wrote of his technique : Thomas Crawford 's Statue of Freedom The surfaces should be broad and simple , defined by a bold and clear design , accentuated in the important places . The enlargement of the details or their multiplicity is to be feared . By exaggerating the forms , in order to render them more clearly visible , or by enriching them with details , we would destroy the proportion of the work . Finally , the model , like the design , should have a summarized character , such as one would give to a rapid sketch . Only it is necessary that this character should be the product of volition and study , and that the artist , concentrating his knowledge , should find the form and the line in its greatest simplicity . Bartholdi made alterations in the design as the project evolved . Bartholdi considered having Liberty hold a broken chain , but decided this would be too divisive in the days after the Civil War . The erected statue does rise over a broken chain , half - hidden by her robes and difficult to see from the ground . Bartholdi was initially uncertain of what to place in Liberty 's left hand ; he settled on a tabula ansata , used to evoke the concept of law . Though Bartholdi greatly admired the United States Constitution , he chose to inscribe `` JULY IV MDCCLXXVI '' on the tablet , thus associating the date of the country 's Declaration of Independence with the concept of liberty . Bartholdi interested his friend and mentor , architect Eugène Viollet - le - Duc , in the project . As chief engineer , Viollet - le - Duc designed a brick pier within the statue , to which the skin would be anchored . After consultations with the metalwork foundry Gaget , Gauthier & Co. , Viollet - le - Duc chose the metal which would be used for the skin , copper sheets , and the method used to shape it , repoussé , in which the sheets were heated and then struck with wooden hammers . An advantage of this choice was that the entire statue would be light for its volume , as the copper need be only 0.094 inches ( 2.4 mm ) thick . Bartholdi had decided on a height of just over 151 feet ( 46 m ) for the statue , double that of Italy 's Sancarlone and the German statue of Arminius , both made with the same method . Announcement and early work By 1875 , France was enjoying improved political stability and a recovering postwar economy . Growing interest in the upcoming Centennial Exposition in Philadelphia led Laboulaye to decide it was time to seek public support . In September 1875 , he announced the project and the formation of the Franco - American Union as its fundraising arm . With the announcement , the statue was given a name , Liberty Enlightening the World . The French would finance the statue ; Americans would be expected to pay for the pedestal . The announcement provoked a generally favorable reaction in France , though many Frenchmen resented the United States for not coming to their aid during the war with Prussia . French monarchists opposed the statue , if for no other reason than it was proposed by the liberal Laboulaye , who had recently been elected a senator for life . Laboulaye arranged events designed to appeal to the rich and powerful , including a special performance at the Paris Opera on April 25 , 1876 , that featured a new cantata by composer Charles Gounod . The piece was titled La Liberté éclairant le monde , the French version of the statue 's announced name . Stereoscopic image of right arm and torch of the Statue of Liberty , 1876 Centennial Exposition Despite its initial focus on the elites , the Union was successful in raising funds from across French society . Schoolchildren and ordinary citizens gave , as did 181 French municipalities . Laboulaye 's political allies supported the call , as did descendants of the French contingent in the American Revolutionary War . Less idealistically , contributions came from those who hoped for American support in the French attempt to build the Panama Canal . The copper may have come from multiple sources and some of it is said to have come from a mine in Visnes , Norway , though this has not been conclusively determined after testing samples . According to Cara Sutherland in her book on the statue for the Museum of the City of New York , 90,800 kilos ( 200,000 pounds ) was needed to build the statue , and the French copper industrialist Eugène Secrétan donated 58,100 kilos ( 128,000 pounds ) of copper . Although plans for the statue had not been finalized , Bartholdi moved forward with fabrication of the right arm , bearing the torch , and the head . Work began at the Gaget , Gauthier & Co. workshop . In May 1876 , Bartholdi traveled to the United States as a member of a French delegation to the Centennial Exhibition , and arranged for a huge painting of the statue to be shown in New York as part of the Centennial festivities . The arm did not arrive in Philadelphia until August ; because of its late arrival , it was not listed in the exhibition catalogue , and while some reports correctly identified the work , others called it the `` Colossal Arm '' or `` Bartholdi Electric Light '' . The exhibition grounds contained a number of monumental artworks to compete for fairgoers ' interest , including an outsized fountain designed by Bartholdi . Nevertheless , the arm proved popular in the exhibition 's waning days , and visitors would climb up to the balcony of the torch to view the fairgrounds . After the exhibition closed , the arm was transported to New York , where it remained on display in Madison Square Park for several years before it was returned to France to join the rest of the statue . During his second trip to the United States , Bartholdi addressed a number of groups about the project , and urged the formation of American committees of the Franco - American Union . Committees to raise money to pay for the foundation and pedestal were formed in New York , Boston , and Philadelphia . The New York group eventually took on most of the responsibility for American fundraising and is often referred to as the `` American Committee '' . One of its members was 19 - year - old Theodore Roosevelt , the future governor of New York and president of the United States . On March 3 , 1877 , on his final full day in office , President Grant signed a joint resolution that authorized the President to accept the statue when it was presented by France and to select a site for it . President Rutherford B. Hayes , who took office the following day , selected the Bedloe 's Island site that Bartholdi had proposed . Construction in France The statue 's head on exhibit at the Paris World 's Fair , 1878 On his return to Paris in 1877 , Bartholdi concentrated on completing the head , which was exhibited at the 1878 Paris World 's Fair . Fundraising continued , with models of the statue put on sale . Tickets to view the construction activity at the Gaget , Gauthier & Co. workshop were also offered . The French government authorized a lottery ; among the prizes were valuable silver plate and a terracotta model of the statue . By the end of 1879 , about 250,000 francs had been raised . The head and arm had been built with assistance from Viollet - le - Duc , who fell ill in 1879 . He soon died , leaving no indication of how he intended to transition from the copper skin to his proposed masonry pier . The following year , Bartholdi was able to obtain the services of the innovative designer and builder Gustave Eiffel . Eiffel and his structural engineer , Maurice Koechlin , decided to abandon the pier and instead build an iron truss tower . Eiffel opted not to use a completely rigid structure , which would force stresses to accumulate in the skin and lead eventually to cracking . A secondary skeleton was attached to the center pylon , then , to enable the statue to move slightly in the winds of New York Harbor and as the metal expanded on hot summer days , he loosely connected the support structure to the skin using flat iron bars which culminated in a mesh of metal straps , known as `` saddles '' , that were riveted to the skin , providing firm support . In a labor - intensive process , each saddle had to be crafted individually . To prevent galvanic corrosion between the copper skin and the iron support structure , Eiffel insulated the skin with asbestos impregnated with shellac . Eiffel 's design made the statue one of the earliest examples of curtain wall construction , in which the exterior of the structure is not load bearing , but is instead supported by an interior framework . He included two interior spiral staircases , to make it easier for visitors to reach the observation point in the crown . Access to an observation platform surrounding the torch was also provided , but the narrowness of the arm allowed for only a single ladder , 40 feet ( 12 m ) long . As the pylon tower arose , Eiffel and Bartholdi coordinated their work carefully so that completed segments of skin would fit exactly on the support structure . The components of the pylon tower were built in the Eiffel factory in the nearby Parisian suburb of Levallois - Perret . The change in structural material from masonry to iron allowed Bartholdi to change his plans for the statue 's assembly . He had originally expected to assemble the skin on - site as the masonry pier was built ; instead he decided to build the statue in France and have it disassembled and transported to the United States for reassembly in place on Bedloe 's Island . In a symbolic act , the first rivet placed into the skin , fixing a copper plate onto the statue 's big toe , was driven by United States Ambassador to France Levi P. Morton . The skin was not , however , crafted in exact sequence from low to high ; work proceeded on a number of segments simultaneously in a manner often confusing to visitors . Some work was performed by contractors -- one of the fingers was made to Bartholdi 's exacting specifications by a coppersmith in the southern French town of Montauban . By 1882 , the statue was complete up to the waist , an event Barthodi celebrated by inviting reporters to lunch on a platform built within the statue . Laboulaye died in 1883 . He was succeeded as chairman of the French committee by Ferdinand de Lesseps , builder of the Suez Canal . The completed statue was formally presented to Ambassador Morton at a ceremony in Paris on July 4 , 1884 , and de Lesseps announced that the French government had agreed to pay for its transport to New York . The statue remained intact in Paris pending sufficient progress on the pedestal ; by January 1885 , this had occurred and the statue was disassembled and crated for its ocean voyage . Richard Morris Hunt 's pedestal under construction in June 1885 The committees in the United States faced great difficulties in obtaining funds for the construction of the pedestal . The Panic of 1873 had led to an economic depression that persisted through much of the decade . The Liberty statue project was not the only such undertaking that had difficulty raising money : construction of the obelisk later known as the Washington Monument sometimes stalled for years ; it would ultimately take over three - and - a-half decades to complete . There was criticism both of Bartholdi 's statue and of the fact that the gift required Americans to foot the bill for the pedestal . In the years following the Civil War , most Americans preferred realistic artworks depicting heroes and events from the nation 's history , rather than allegorical works like the Liberty statue . There was also a feeling that Americans should design American public works -- the selection of Italian - born Constantino Brumidi to decorate the Capitol had provoked intense criticism , even though he was a naturalized U.S. citizen . Harper 's Weekly declared its wish that `` M. Bartholdi and our French cousins had ' gone the whole figure ' while they were about it , and given us statue and pedestal at once . '' The New York Times stated that `` no true patriot can countenance any such expenditures for bronze females in the present state of our finances . '' Faced with these criticisms , the American committees took little action for several years . Design Frank Leslie 's Illustrated Newspaper , June 1885 , showing ( clockwise from left ) woodcuts of the completed statue in Paris , Bartholdi , and the statue 's interior structure The foundation of Bartholdi 's statue was to be laid inside Fort Wood , a disused army base on Bedloe 's Island constructed between 1807 and 1811 . Since 1823 , it had rarely been used , though during the Civil War , it had served as a recruiting station . The fortifications of the structure were in the shape of an eleven - point star . The statue 's foundation and pedestal were aligned so that it would face southeast , greeting ships entering the harbor from the Atlantic Ocean . In 1881 , the New York committee commissioned Richard Morris Hunt to design the pedestal . Within months , Hunt submitted a detailed plan , indicating that he expected construction to take about nine months . He proposed a pedestal 114 feet ( 35 m ) in height ; faced with money problems , the committee reduced that to 89 feet ( 27 m ) . Hunt 's pedestal design contains elements of classical architecture , including Doric portals , as well as some elements influenced by Aztec architecture . The large mass is fragmented with architectural detail , in order to focus attention on the statue . In form , it is a truncated pyramid , 62 feet ( 19 m ) square at the base and 39.4 feet ( 12.0 m ) at the top . The four sides are identical in appearance . Above the door on each side , there are ten disks upon which Bartholdi proposed to place the coats of arms of the states ( between 1876 and 1889 , there were 38 U.S. states ) , although this was not done . Above that , a balcony was placed on each side , framed by pillars . Bartholdi placed an observation platform near the top of the pedestal , above which the statue itself rises . According to author Louis Auchincloss , the pedestal `` craggily evokes the power of an ancient Europe over which rises the dominating figure of the Statue of Liberty '' . The committee hired former army General Charles Pomeroy Stone to oversee the construction work . Construction on the 15 - foot - deep ( 4.6 m ) foundation began in 1883 , and the pedestal 's cornerstone was laid in 1884 . In Hunt 's original conception , the pedestal was to have been made of solid granite . Financial concerns again forced him to revise his plans ; the final design called for poured concrete walls , up to 20 feet ( 6.1 m ) thick , faced with granite blocks . This Stony Creek granite came from the Beattie Quarry in Branford , Connecticut . The concrete mass was the largest poured to that time . Norwegian immigrant civil engineer Joachim Goschen Giæver designed the structural framework for the Statue of Liberty . His work involved design computations , detailed fabrication and construction drawings , and oversight of construction . In completing his engineering for the statue 's frame , Giæver worked from drawings and sketches produced by Gustave Eiffel . Fundraising Unpacking of the face of the Statue of Liberty , which was delivered on June 17 , 1885 Fundraising for the statue had begun in 1882 . The committee organized a large number of money - raising events . As part of one such effort , an auction of art and manuscripts , poet Emma Lazarus was asked to donate an original work . She initially declined , stating she could not write a poem about a statue . At the time , she was also involved in aiding refugees to New York who had fled anti-Semitic pogroms in eastern Europe . These refugees were forced to live in conditions that the wealthy Lazarus had never experienced . She saw a way to express her empathy for these refugees in terms of the statue . The resulting sonnet , `` The New Colossus '' , including the iconic lines `` Give me your tired , your poor / Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free '' , is uniquely identified with the Statue of Liberty and is inscribed on a plaque in the museum in its base . Even with these efforts , fundraising lagged . Grover Cleveland , the governor of New York , vetoed a bill to provide $50,000 for the statue project in 1884 . An attempt the next year to have Congress provide $100,000 , sufficient to complete the project , also failed . The New York committee , with only $3,000 in the bank , suspended work on the pedestal . With the project in jeopardy , groups from other American cities , including Boston and Philadelphia , offered to pay the full cost of erecting the statue in return for relocating it . Joseph Pulitzer , publisher of the New York World , a New York newspaper , announced a drive to raise $100,000 -- the equivalent of $2.3 million today . Pulitzer pledged to print the name of every contributor , no matter how small the amount given . The drive captured the imagination of New Yorkers , especially when Pulitzer began publishing the notes he received from contributors . `` A young girl alone in the world '' donated `` 60 cents , the result of self denial . '' One donor gave `` five cents as a poor office boy 's mite toward the Pedestal Fund . '' A group of children sent a dollar as `` the money we saved to go to the circus with . '' Another dollar was given by a `` lonely and very aged woman . '' Residents of a home for alcoholics in New York 's rival city of Brooklyn -- the cities would not merge until 1898 -- donated $15 ; other drinkers helped out through donation boxes in bars and saloons . A kindergarten class in Davenport , Iowa , mailed the World a gift of $1.35 . As the donations flooded in , the committee resumed work on the pedestal . Construction On June 17 , 1885 , the French steamer Isère , laden with the Statue of Liberty , reached the New York port safely . New Yorkers displayed their new - found enthusiasm for the statue , as the French vessel arrived with the crates holding the disassembled statue on board . Two hundred thousand people lined the docks and hundreds of boats put to sea to welcome the Isère . After five months of daily calls to donate to the statue fund , on August 11 , 1885 , the World announced that $102,000 had been raised from 120,000 donors , and that 80 percent of the total had been received in sums of less than one dollar . Even with the success of the fund drive , the pedestal was not completed until April 1886 . Immediately thereafter , reassembly of the statue began . Eiffel 's iron framework was anchored to steel I - beams within the concrete pedestal and assembled . Once this was done , the sections of skin were carefully attached . Due to the width of the pedestal , it was not possible to erect scaffolding , and workers dangled from ropes while installing the skin sections . Nevertheless , no one died during the construction . Bartholdi had planned to put floodlights on the torch 's balcony to illuminate it ; a week before the dedication , the Army Corps of Engineers vetoed the proposal , fearing that ships ' pilots passing the statue would be blinded . Instead , Bartholdi cut portholes in the torch -- which was covered with gold leaf -- and placed the lights inside them . A power plant was installed on the island to light the torch and for other electrical needs . After the skin was completed , renowned landscape architect Frederick Law Olmsted , co-designer of New York 's Central Park and Brooklyn 's Prospect Park , supervised a cleanup of Bedloe 's Island in anticipation of the dedication . Dedication Unveiling of the Statue of Liberty Enlightening the World ( 1886 ) by Edward Moran . Oil on canvas . The J. Clarence Davies Collection , Museum of the City of New York . A ceremony of dedication was held on the afternoon of October 28 , 1886 . President Grover Cleveland , the former New York governor , presided over the event . On the morning of the dedication , a parade was held in New York City ; estimates of the number of people who watched it ranged from several hundred thousand to a million . President Cleveland headed the procession , then stood in the reviewing stand to see bands and marchers from across America . General Stone was the grand marshal of the parade . The route began at Madison Square , once the venue for the arm , and proceeded to the Battery at the southern tip of Manhattan by way of Fifth Avenue and Broadway , with a slight detour so the parade could pass in front of the World building on Park Row . As the parade passed the New York Stock Exchange , traders threw ticker tape from the windows , beginning the New York tradition of the ticker - tape parade . A nautical parade began at 12 : 45 p.m. , and President Cleveland embarked on a yacht that took him across the harbor to Bedloe 's Island for the dedication . De Lesseps made the first speech , on behalf of the French committee , followed by the chairman of the New York committee , Senator William M. Evarts . A French flag draped across the statue 's face was to be lowered to unveil the statue at the close of Evarts 's speech , but Bartholdi mistook a pause as the conclusion and let the flag fall prematurely . The ensuing cheers put an end to Evarts 's address . President Cleveland spoke next , stating that the statue 's `` stream of light shall pierce the darkness of ignorance and man 's oppression until Liberty enlightens the world '' . Bartholdi , observed near the dais , was called upon to speak , but he declined . Orator Chauncey M. Depew concluded the speechmaking with a lengthy address . No members of the general public were permitted on the island during the ceremonies , which were reserved entirely for dignitaries . The only females granted access were Bartholdi 's wife and de Lesseps 's granddaughter ; officials stated that they feared women might be injured in the crush of people . The restriction offended area suffragists , who chartered a boat and got as close as they could to the island . The group 's leaders made speeches applauding the embodiment of Liberty as a woman and advocating women 's right to vote . A scheduled fireworks display was postponed until November 1 because of poor weather . Shortly after the dedication , The Cleveland Gazette , an African American newspaper , suggested that the statue 's torch not be lit until the United States became a free nation `` in reality '' : `` Liberty enlightening the world , '' indeed ! The expression makes us sick . This government is a howling farce . It can not or rather does not protect its citizens within its own borders . Shove the Bartholdi statue , torch and all , into the ocean until the `` liberty '' of this country is such as to make it possible for an inoffensive and industrious colored man to earn a respectable living for himself and family , without being ku - kluxed , perhaps murdered , his daughter and wife outraged , and his property destroyed . The idea of the `` liberty '' of this country `` enlightening the world , '' or even Patagonia , is ridiculous in the extreme . After dedication Lighthouse Board and War Department ( 1886 -- 1933 ) Statue of Liberty ca . 1900 Government poster using the Statue of Liberty to promote the sale of Liberty Bonds When the torch was illuminated on the evening of the statue 's dedication , it produced only a faint gleam , barely visible from Manhattan . The World characterized it as `` more like a glowworm than a beacon . '' Bartholdi suggested gilding the statue to increase its ability to reflect light , but this proved too expensive . The United States Lighthouse Board took over the Statue of Liberty in 1887 and pledged to install equipment to enhance the torch 's effect ; in spite of its efforts , the statue remained virtually invisible at night . When Bartholdi returned to the United States in 1893 , he made additional suggestions , all of which proved ineffective . He did successfully lobby for improved lighting within the statue , allowing visitors to better appreciate Eiffel 's design . In 1901 , President Theodore Roosevelt , once a member of the New York committee , ordered the statue 's transfer to the War Department , as it had proved useless as a lighthouse . A unit of the Army Signal Corps was stationed on Bedloe 's Island until 1923 , after which military police remained there while the island was under military jurisdiction . The statue rapidly became a landmark . Many immigrants who entered through New York saw it as a welcoming sight . Oral histories of immigrants record their feelings of exhilaration on first viewing the Statue of Liberty . One immigrant who arrived from Greece recalled , I saw the Statue of Liberty . And I said to myself , `` Lady , you 're such a beautiful ! ( sic ) You opened your arms and you get all the foreigners here . Give me a chance to prove that I am worth it , to do something , to be someone in America . '' And always that statue was on my mind . Originally , the statue was a dull copper color , but shortly after 1900 a green patina , also called verdigris , caused by the oxidation of the copper skin , began to spread . As early as 1902 it was mentioned in the press ; by 1906 it had entirely covered the statue . Believing that the patina was evidence of corrosion , Congress authorized US $62,800 ( equivalent to $1,710,486 in 2017 ) for various repairs , and to paint the statue both inside and out . There was considerable public protest against the proposed exterior painting . The Army Corps of Engineers studied the patina for any ill effects to the statue and concluded that it protected the skin , `` softened the outlines of the Statue and made it beautiful . '' The statue was painted only on the inside . The Corps of Engineers also installed an elevator to take visitors from the base to the top of the pedestal . On July 30 , 1916 , during World War I , German saboteurs set off a disastrous explosion on the Black Tom peninsula in Jersey City , New Jersey , in what is now part of Liberty State Park , close to Bedloe 's Island . Carloads of dynamite and other explosives that were being sent to Britain and France for their war efforts were detonated , and seven people were killed . The statue sustained minor damage , mostly to the torch - bearing right arm , and was closed for ten days . The cost to repair the statue and buildings on the island was about US $100,000 ( equivalent to $2,248,930 in 2017 ) . The narrow ascent to the torch was closed for public - safety reasons , and it has remained closed ever since . That same year , Ralph Pulitzer , who had succeeded his father Joseph as publisher of the World , began a drive to raise US $30,000 ( equivalent to $674,679 in 2017 ) for an exterior lighting system to illuminate the statue at night . He claimed over 80,000 contributors , but failed to reach the goal . The difference was quietly made up by a gift from a wealthy donor -- a fact that was not revealed until 1936 . An underwater power cable brought electricity from the mainland and floodlights were placed along the walls of Fort Wood . Gutzon Borglum , who later sculpted Mount Rushmore , redesigned the torch , replacing much of the original copper with stained glass . On December 2 , 1916 , President Woodrow Wilson pressed the telegraph key that turned on the lights , successfully illuminating the statue . After the United States entered World War I in 1917 , images of the statue were heavily used in both recruitment posters and the Liberty Bond drives that urged American citizens to support the war financially . This impressed upon the public the war 's stated purpose -- to secure liberty -- and served as a reminder that embattled France had given the United States the statue . In 1924 , President Calvin Coolidge used his authority under the Antiquities Act to declare the statue a National Monument . The only successful suicide in the statue 's history occurred five years later , when a man climbed out of one of the windows in the crown and jumped to his death , glancing off the statue 's breast and landing on the base . Early National Park Service years ( 1933 -- 1982 ) Bedloe 's Island in 1927 , showing the statue and army buildings . The eleven - pointed walls of Fort Wood , which still form the statue 's base , are visible . In 1933 , President Franklin Roosevelt ordered the statue to be transferred to the National Park Service ( NPS ) . In 1937 , the NPS gained jurisdiction over the rest of Bedloe 's Island . With the Army 's departure , the NPS began to transform the island into a park . The Works Progress Administration ( WPA ) demolished most of the old buildings , regraded and reseeded the eastern end of the island , and built granite steps for a new public entrance to the statue from its rear . The WPA also carried out restoration work within the statue , temporarily removing the rays from the statue 's halo so their rusted supports could be replaced . Rusted cast - iron steps in the pedestal were replaced with new ones made of reinforced concrete ; the upper parts of the stairways within the statue were replaced , as well . Copper sheathing was installed to prevent further damage from rainwater that had been seeping into the pedestal . The statue was closed to the public from May until December 1938 . During World War II , the statue remained open to visitors , although it was not illuminated at night due to wartime blackouts . It was lit briefly on December 31 , 1943 , and on D - Day , June 6 , 1944 , when its lights flashed `` dot - dot - dot - dash '' , the Morse code for V , for victory . New , powerful lighting was installed in 1944 -- 1945 , and beginning on V-E Day , the statue was once again illuminated after sunset . The lighting was for only a few hours each evening , and it was not until 1957 that the statue was illuminated every night , all night . In 1946 , the interior of the statue within reach of visitors was coated with a special plastic so that graffiti could be washed away . In 1956 , an Act of Congress officially renamed Bedloe 's Island as Liberty Island , a change advocated by Bartholdi generations earlier . The act also mentioned the efforts to found an American Museum of Immigration on the island , which backers took as federal approval of the project , though the government was slow to grant funds for it . Nearby Ellis Island was made part of the Statue of Liberty National Monument by proclamation of President Lyndon Johnson in 1965 . In 1972 , the immigration museum , in the statue 's base , was finally opened in a ceremony led by President Richard Nixon . The museum 's backers never provided it with an endowment to secure its future and it closed in 1991 after the opening of an immigration museum on Ellis Island . September 26 , 1972 : President Richard Nixon visits the statue to open the American Museum of Immigration . The statue 's raised right foot is visible , showing that it is depicted moving forward . In 1970 , Ivy Bottini led a demonstration at the statue where she and others from the National Organization for Women 's New York chapter draped an enormous banner over a railing which read `` WOMEN OF THE WORLD UNITE ! '' Beginning December 26 , 1971 , 15 anti-Vietnam War veterans occupied the statue , flying a US flag upside down from her crown . They left December 28 following a Federal Court order . The statue was also several times taken over briefly by demonstrators publicizing causes such as Puerto Rican independence , opposition to abortion , and opposition to US intervention in Grenada . Demonstrations with the permission of the Park Service included a Gay Pride Parade rally and the annual Captive Baltic Nations rally . A powerful new lighting system was installed in advance of the American Bicentennial in 1976 . The statue was the focal point for Operation Sail , a regatta of tall ships from all over the world that entered New York Harbor on July 4 , 1976 , and sailed around Liberty Island . The day concluded with a spectacular display of fireworks near the statue . Renovation and rededication ( 1982 -- 2000 ) July 4 , 1986 : First Lady Nancy Reagan ( in red ) reopens the statue to the public . Main article : Conservation - restoration of the Statue of Liberty See also : Liberty Weekend The statue was examined in great detail by French and American engineers as part of the planning for its centennial in 1986 . In 1982 , it was announced that the statue was in need of considerable restoration . Careful study had revealed that the right arm had been improperly attached to the main structure . It was swaying more and more when strong winds blew and there was a significant risk of structural failure . In addition , the head had been installed 2 feet ( 0.61 m ) off center , and one of the rays was wearing a hole in the right arm when the statue moved in the wind . The armature structure was badly corroded , and about two percent of the exterior plates needed to be replaced . Although problems with the armature had been recognized as early as 1936 , when cast iron replacements for some of the bars had been installed , much of the corrosion had been hidden by layers of paint applied over the years . In May 1982 , President Ronald Reagan announced the formation of the Statue of Liberty -- Ellis Island Centennial Commission , led by Chrysler Corporation chair Lee Iacocca , to raise the funds needed to complete the work . Through its fundraising arm , the Statue of Liberty -- Ellis Island Foundation , Inc. , the group raised more than $350 million in donations . The Statue of Liberty was one of the earliest beneficiaries of a cause marketing campaign . A 1983 promotion advertised that for each purchase made with an American Express card , the company would contribute one cent to the renovation of the statue . The campaign generated contributions of $1.7 million to the restoration project . In 1984 , the statue was closed to the public for the duration of the renovation . Workers erected the world 's largest free - standing scaffold , which obscured the statue from view . Liquid nitrogen was used to remove layers of paint that had been applied to the interior of the copper skin over decades , leaving two layers of coal tar , originally applied to plug leaks and prevent corrosion . Blasting with baking soda powder removed the tar without further damaging the copper . The restorers ' work was hampered by the asbestos - based substance that Bartholdi had used -- ineffectively , as inspections showed -- to prevent galvanic corrosion . Workers within the statue had to wear protective gear , dubbed `` moon suits '' , with self - contained breathing circuits . Larger holes in the copper skin were repaired , and new copper was added where necessary . The replacement skin was taken from a copper rooftop at Bell Labs , which had a patina that closely resembled the statue 's ; in exchange , the laboratory was provided some of the old copper skin for testing . The torch , found to have been leaking water since the 1916 alterations , was replaced with an exact replica of Bartholdi 's unaltered torch . Consideration was given to replacing the arm and shoulder ; the National Park Service insisted that they be repaired instead . The original torch was removed and replaced in 1986 with the current one , whose flame is covered in 24 - carat gold . The torch reflects the sun 's rays in daytime and is lighted by floodlights at night . Liberty Enlightening the World The entire puddled iron armature designed by Gustave Eiffel was replaced . Low - carbon corrosion - resistant stainless steel bars that now hold the staples next to the skin are made of Ferralium , an alloy that bends slightly and returns to its original shape as the statue moves . To prevent the ray and arm making contact , the ray was realigned by several degrees . The lighting was again replaced -- night - time illumination subsequently came from metal - halide lamps that send beams of light to particular parts of the pedestal or statue , showing off various details . Access to the pedestal , which had been through a nondescript entrance built in the 1960s , was renovated to create a wide opening framed by a set of monumental bronze doors with designs symbolic of the renovation . A modern elevator was installed , allowing handicapped access to the observation area of the pedestal . An emergency elevator was installed within the statue , reaching up to the level of the shoulder . July 3 -- 6 , 1986 , was designated `` Liberty Weekend '' , marking the centennial of the statue and its reopening . President Reagan presided over the rededication , with French President François Mitterrand in attendance . July 4 saw a reprise of Operation Sail , and the statue was reopened to the public on July 5 . In Reagan 's dedication speech , he stated , `` We are the keepers of the flame of liberty ; we hold it high for the world to see . '' Closures and reopenings ( 2001 -- present ) The Statue of Liberty on September 11 , 2001 as the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center burn in the background Following the September 11 attacks , the statue and Liberty Island were immediately closed to the public . The island reopened at the end of 2001 , while the pedestal and statue remained off - limits . The pedestal reopened in August 2004 , but the National Park Service announced that visitors could not safely be given access to the statue due to the difficulty of evacuation in an emergency . The Park Service adhered to that position through the remainder of the Bush administration . New York Congressman Anthony Weiner made the statue 's reopening a personal crusade . On May 17 , 2009 , President Barack Obama 's Secretary of the Interior , Ken Salazar , announced that as a `` special gift '' to America , the statue would be reopened to the public as of July 4 , but that only a limited number of people would be permitted to ascend to the crown each day . The statue , including the pedestal and base , closed on October 29 , 2011 , for installation of new elevators and staircases and to bring other facilities , such as restrooms , up to code . The statue was reopened on October 28 , 2012 , only to close again a day later due to Hurricane Sandy . Although the storm did not harm the statue , it destroyed some of the infrastructure on both Liberty Island and Ellis Island , severely damaging the dock used by the ferries bearing visitors to the statue . On November 8 , 2012 , a Park Service spokesperson announced that both islands would remain closed for an indefinite period for repairs to be done . Due to lack of electricity on Liberty Island , a generator was installed to power temporary floodlights to illuminate the statue at night . The superintendent of Statue of Liberty National Monument , David Luchsinger , whose home on the island was severely damaged , stated that it would be `` optimistically ... months '' before the island was reopened to the public . The statue and Liberty Island reopened to the public on July 4 , 2013 . Ellis Island remained closed for repairs for several more months but reopened in late October 2013 . For part of October 2013 , Liberty Island was closed to the public due to the United States federal government shutdown of 2013 , along with other federally funded museums , parks , monuments , construction projects and buildings . On October 7 , 2016 , construction started on a new Statue of Liberty museum on Liberty Island . The new $70 million , 26,000 - square - foot ( 2,400 m ) museum will be able to accommodate all of the island 's visitors when it opens in 2019 , as opposed to the current museum , which only 20 % of the island 's visitors can visit . The original torch will be relocated here , and in addition to exhibits relating to the statue 's construction and history , there will be a theater where visitors can watch an aerial view of the statue . The museum , designed by FXFOWLE Architects , will integrate with the parkland around it . It is being funded privately by Diane von Fürstenberg , Michael Bloomberg , Jeff Bezos , Coca - Cola , NBCUniversal , the family of Laurence Tisch and Preston Robert Tisch , Mellody Hobson , and George Lucas . Von Fürstenberg heads the fundraising for the museum , and the project had garnered more than $40 million in fundraising as of groundbreaking . Access and attributes Location and tourism Tourists aboard a Circle Line ferry arriving at Liberty Island , June 1973 The statue is situated in Upper New York Bay on Liberty Island south of Ellis Island , which together comprise the Statue of Liberty National Monument . Both islands were ceded by New York to the federal government in 1800 . As agreed in an 1834 compact between New York and New Jersey that set the state border at the bay 's midpoint , the original islands remain New York territory despite their location on the New Jersey side of the state line . Liberty Island is one of the islands that are part of the borough of Manhattan in New York . Land created by reclamation added to the 2.3 acres ( 0.93 ha ) original island at Ellis Island is New Jersey territory . No charge is made for entrance to the national monument , but there is a cost for the ferry service that all visitors must use , as private boats may not dock at the island . A concession was granted in 2007 to Statue Cruises to operate the transportation and ticketing facilities , replacing Circle Line , which had operated the service since 1953 . The ferries , which depart from Liberty State Park in Jersey City and Battery Park in Lower Manhattan , also stop at Ellis Island when it is open to the public , making a combined trip possible . All ferry riders are subject to security screening , similar to airport procedures , prior to boarding . Visitors intending to enter the statue 's base and pedestal must obtain a complimentary museum / pedestal ticket along with their ferry ticket . Those wishing to climb the staircase within the statue to the crown purchase a special ticket , which may be reserved up to a year in advance . A total of 240 people per day are permitted to ascend : ten per group , three groups per hour . Climbers may bring only medication and cameras -- lockers are provided for other items -- and must undergo a second security screening . Inscriptions , plaques , and dedications The Statue of Liberty stands on Liberty Island . There are several plaques and dedicatory tablets on or near the Statue of Liberty . A plaque on the copper just under the figure in front declares that it is a colossal statue representing Liberty , designed by Bartholdi and built by the Paris firm of Gaget , Gauthier et Cie ( Cie is the French abbreviation analogous to Co . ) . A presentation tablet , also bearing Bartholdi 's name , declares the statue is a gift from the people of the Republic of France that honors `` the Alliance of the two Nations in achieving the Independence of the United States of America and attests their abiding friendship . '' A tablet placed by the New York committee commemorates the fundraising done to build the pedestal . The cornerstone bears a plaque placed by the Freemasons . In 1903 , a bronze tablet that bears the text of Emma Lazarus 's sonnet , `` The New Colossus '' ( 1883 ) , was presented by friends of the poet . Until the 1986 renovation , it was mounted inside the pedestal ; today it resides in the Statue of Liberty Museum , in the base . `` The New Colossus '' tablet is accompanied by a tablet given by the Emma Lazarus Commemorative Committee in 1977 , celebrating the poet 's life . A group of statues stands at the western end of the island , honoring those closely associated with the Statue of Liberty . Two Americans -- Pulitzer and Lazarus -- and three Frenchmen -- Bartholdi , Eiffel , and Laboulaye -- are depicted . They are the work of Maryland sculptor Phillip Ratner . UNESCO World Heritage site In 1984 , the Statue of Liberty was designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site . The UNESCO `` Statement of Significance '' describes the statue as a `` masterpiece of the human spirit '' that `` endures as a highly potent symbol -- inspiring contemplation , debate and protest -- of ideals such as liberty , peace , human rights , abolition of slavery , democracy and opportunity .

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

6583361049492676150 | Giant-impact hypothesis | Giant - impact hypothesis - wikipedia Giant - impact hypothesis Jump to : navigation , search `` Big splash '' redirects here . For other uses , see Big Splash ( disambiguation ) . Artist 's depiction of a collision between two planetary bodies . Such an impact between Earth and a Mars - sized object likely formed the Moon . The giant - impact hypothesis , sometimes called the Big Splash , or the Theia Impact suggests that the Moon formed out of the debris left over from a collision between Earth and an astronomical body the size of Mars , approximately 4.5 billion years ago , in the Hadean eon ; about 20 to 100 million years after the solar system coalesced . The colliding body is sometimes called Theia , from the name of the mythical Greek Titan who was the mother of Selene , the goddess of the Moon . Analysis of lunar rocks , published in a 2016 report , suggests that the impact may have been a direct hit , causing a thorough mixing of both parent bodies . The giant - impact hypothesis is currently the favoured scientific hypothesis for the formation of the Moon . Supporting evidence includes : Earth 's spin and the Moon 's orbit have similar orientations . Moon samples indicate that the Moon 's surface was once molten . The Moon has a relatively small iron core . The Moon has a lower density than Earth . There is evidence in other star systems of similar collisions , resulting in debris disks . Giant collisions are consistent with the leading theories of the formation of the Solar System . The stable - isotope ratios of lunar and terrestrial rock are identical , implying a common origin . There remain several questions concerning the best current models of the giant - impact hypothesis , however . The energy of such a giant impact is predicted to have heated Earth to produce a global magma ocean , and evidence of the resultant planetary differentiation of the heavier material sinking into Earth 's mantle has been documented . However , as of 2015 there is no self - consistent model that starts with the giant - impact event and follows the evolution of the debris into a single moon . Other remaining questions include when the Moon lost its share of volatile elements and why Venus -- which experienced giant impacts during its formation -- does not host a similar moon .

Darwin 's hypothesis was that a molten Moon had been spun from the Earth because of centrifugal forces , and this became the dominant academic explanation . Using Newtonian mechanics , he calculated that the Moon had orbited much more closely in the past and was drifting away from the Earth . This drifting was later confirmed by American and Soviet experiments , using laser ranging targets placed on the Moon . Nonetheless , Darwin 's calculations could not resolve the mechanics required to trace the Moon backward to the surface of the Earth . In 1946 , Reginald Aldworth Daly of Harvard University challenged Darwin 's explanation , adjusting it to postulate that the creation of the Moon was caused by an impact rather than centrifugal forces . Little attention was paid to Professor Daly 's challenge until a conference on satellites in 1974 , during which the idea was reintroduced and later published and discussed in Icarus in 1975 by Drs . William K. Hartmann and Donald R. Davis . Their models suggested that , at the end of the planet formation period , several satellite - sized bodies had formed that could collide with the planets or be captured . They proposed that one of these objects may have collided with the Earth , ejecting refractory , volatile - poor dust that could coalesce to form the Moon . This collision could potentially explain the unique geological and geochemical properties of the Moon . A similar approach was taken by Canadian astronomer Alastair G.W. Cameron and American astronomer William R. Ward , who suggested that the Moon was formed by the tangential impact upon Earth of a body the size of Mars . It is hypothesized that most of the outer silicates of the colliding body would be vaporized , whereas a metallic core would not . Hence , most of the collisional material sent into orbit would consist of silicates , leaving the coalescing Moon deficient in iron . The more volatile materials that were emitted during the collision probably would escape the Solar System , whereas silicates would tend to coalesce . Theia ( edit ) Main article : Theia ( planet ) The name of the hypothesized protoplanet is derived from the mythical Greek titan Theia / ˈθiːə / , who gave birth to the Moon goddess Selene . This designation was proposed initially by the English geochemist Alex N. Halliday in 2000 and has become accepted in the scientific community . According to modern theories of planet formation , Theia was part of a population of Mars - sized bodies that existed in the Solar System 4.5 billion years ago . One of the attractive features of the giant - impact hypothesis is that the formation of the Moon and Earth align ; during the course of its formation , the Earth is thought to have experienced dozens of collisions with planet - sized bodies . The Moon - forming collision would have been only one such `` giant impact '' but certainly the last significant impactor event . The Late Heavy Bombardment by much smaller asteroids occurred later - approximately 3.9 billion years ago . Basic model ( edit ) Simplistic representation of the giant - impact hypothesis . Astronomers think the collision between Earth and Theia happened at about 4.4 to 4.45 bya ; about 0.1 billion years after the Solar System began to form . In astronomical terms , the impact would have been of moderate velocity . Theia is thought to have struck the Earth at an oblique angle when the Earth was nearly fully formed . Computer simulations of this `` late - impact '' scenario suggest an impact angle of about 45 ° and an initial impactor velocity below 4 km / s . However , oxygen isotope abundance in lunar rock suggests `` vigorous mixing '' of Theia and Earth , indicating a steep impact angle . Theia 's iron core would have sunk into the young Earth 's core , and most of Theia 's mantle accreted onto the Earth 's mantle . However , a significant portion of the mantle material from both Theia and the Earth would have been ejected into orbit around the Earth ( if ejected with velocities between orbital velocity and escape velocity ) or into individual orbits around the sun ( if ejected at higher velocities ) . The material in orbits around the Earth quickly coalesced into the Moon ( possibly within less than a month , but in no more than a century ) . The material in orbits around the sun stayed on its Kepler orbits , which are stable in space , and was thus likely to hit the earth - moon system sometime later ( because the Earth - Moon system 's Kepler orbit around the sun also remains stable ) . Estimates based on computer simulations of such an event suggest that some twenty percent of the original mass of Theia would have ended up as an orbiting ring of debris around the Earth , and about half of this matter coalesced into the Moon . The Earth would have gained significant amounts of angular momentum and mass from such a collision . Regardless of the speed and tilt of the Earth 's rotation before the impact , it would have experienced a day some five hours long after the impact , and the Earth 's equator and the Moon 's orbit would have become coplanar . Not all of the ring material need have been swept up right away : the thickened crust of the Moon 's far side suggests the possibility that a second moon about 1,000 km in diameter formed in a Lagrange point of the Moon . The secondary , smaller moon may have remained in orbit for tens of millions of years . As the two moons migrated outward from the Earth , solar tidal effects would have made the Lagrange orbit unstable , resulting in a slow - velocity collision that `` pancaked '' the smaller moon onto what is now the far side , adding material to the crust . Lunar magma can not pierce through the thick crust of the far side , causing lesser lunar maria , while the near side has a thin crust displaying the large maria visible from Earth . Composition ( edit ) In 2001 , a team at the Carnegie Institution of Washington reported the surprising finding that the rocks from the Apollo program carried an isotopic signature that was identical with rocks from Earth , and were different from almost all other bodies in the Solar System . In 2014 , a team in Germany reported that the Apollo samples had a slightly different isotopic signature from Earth rocks . The difference was slight , but statistically significant . One possible explanation is that Theia formed near the Earth . Energetic aftermath Theory ( edit ) In 2007 , researchers from the California Institute of Technology showed that the likelihood of Theia having an identical isotopic signature as the Earth was very small ( less than 1 percent ) . They proposed that in the aftermath of the giant impact , while the Earth and the proto - lunar disk were molten and vaporized , the two reservoirs were connected by a common silicate vapour atmosphere , and that the Earth -- Moon system became homogenized by convective stirring while the system existed in the form of a continuous fluid . Such an `` equilibration '' between the post-impact Earth and the proto - lunar disk is the only proposed scenario that explains the isotopic similarities of the Apollo rocks with rocks from the Earth 's interior . For this scenario to be viable , however , the proto - lunar disk would have to endure for about 100 years . Work is ongoing to determine whether or not this is possible . Evidence ( edit ) Indirect evidence for the giant impact scenario comes from rocks collected during the Apollo Moon landings , which show oxygen isotope ratios nearly identical to those of Earth . The highly anorthositic composition of the lunar crust , as well as the existence of KREEP - rich samples , suggest that a large portion of the Moon once was molten ; and a giant impact scenario could easily have supplied the energy needed to form such a magma ocean . Several lines of evidence show that if the Moon has an iron - rich core , it must be a small one . In particular , the mean density , moment of inertia , rotational signature , and magnetic induction response of the Moon all suggest that the radius of its core is less than about 25 % the radius of the Moon , in contrast to about 50 % for most of the other terrestrial bodies . Appropriate impact conditions satisfying the angular momentum constraints of the Earth -- Moon system yield a Moon formed mostly from the mantles of the Earth and the impactor , while the core of the impactor accretes to the Earth . It is noteworthy that the Earth has the highest density of all the planets in the Solar system ; the absorption of the core of the impactor body explains this observation , given the proposed properties of the early Earth and Theia . Comparison of the zinc isotopic composition of Lunar samples with that of Earth and Mars rocks provides further evidence for the impact hypothesis . Zinc is strongly fractionated when volatilized in planetary rocks , but not during normal igneous processes , so zinc abundance and isotopic composition can distinguish the two geological processes . Moon rocks contain more heavy isotopes of zinc , and overall less zinc , than corresponding igneous Earth or Mars rocks , which is consistent with zinc being depleted from the Moon through evaporation , as expected for the giant impact origin . Collisions between ejecta escaping Earth 's gravity and asteroids would have left impact heating signatures in stony meteorites ; analysis based on assuming the existence of this effect has been used to date the impact event to 4.47 billion years ago , in agreement with the date obtained by other means . Warm silica - rich dust and abundant SiO gas , products of high velocity ( > 10 km / s ) impacts between rocky bodies , have been detected by the Spitzer Space Telescope around the nearby ( 29 pc distant ) young ( ~ 12 My old ) star HD172555 in the Beta Pictoris moving group . A belt of warm dust in a zone between 0.25 AU and 2AU from the young star HD 23514 in the Pleiades cluster appears similar to the predicted results of Theia 's collision with the embryonic Earth , and has been interpreted as the result of planet - sized objects colliding with each other . A similar belt of warm dust was detected around the star BD + 20 ° 307 ( HIP 8920 , SAO 75016 ) . Difficulties ( edit ) This lunar origin hypothesis has some difficulties that have yet to be resolved . For example , the giant - impact hypothesis implies that a surface magma ocean would have formed following the impact . Yet there is no evidence that the Earth ever had such a magma ocean and it is likely there exists material that has never been processed in a magma ocean . Composition ( edit ) A number of compositional inconsistencies need to be addressed . The ratios of the Moon 's volatile elements are not explained by the giant - impact hypothesis . If the giant - impact hypothesis is correct , they must be due to some other cause . The presence of volatiles such as water trapped in lunar basalts is more difficult to explain if the Moon was caused by a high - temperature impact . The iron oxide ( FeO ) content ( 13 % ) of the Moon , intermediate between that of Mars ( 18 % ) and the terrestrial mantle ( 8 % ) , rules out most of the source of the proto - lunar material from the Earth 's mantle . If the bulk of the proto - lunar material had come from an impactor , the Moon should be enriched in siderophilic elements , when , in fact , it is deficient in those . The Moon 's oxygen isotopic ratios are essentially identical to those of Earth . Oxygen isotopic ratios , which may be measured very precisely , yield a unique and distinct signature for each solar system body . If a separate proto - planet Theia had existed , it probably would have had a different oxygen isotopic signature than Earth , as would the ejected mixed material . The Moon 's titanium isotope ratio ( Ti / Ti ) appears so close to the Earth 's ( within 4 ppm ) , that little if any of the colliding body 's mass could likely have been part of the Moon . Lack of a venusian Moon ( edit ) If the Moon was formed by such an impact , it is possible that other inner planets also may have been subjected to comparable impacts . A moon that formed around Venus by this process would have been unlikely to escape . If such a moon - forming event had occurred there , a possible explanation of why the planet does not have such a moon might be that a second collision occurred that countered the angular momentum from the first impact . Another possibility is that the strong tidal forces from the Sun would tend to destabilize the orbits of moons around close - in planets . For this reason , if Venus 's slow rotation rate began early in its history , any satellites larger than a few kilometres in diameter would likely have spiralled inwards and collided with Venus . Simulations of the chaotic period of terrestrial planet formation suggest that impacts like those hypothesized to have formed the Moon were common . For typical terrestrial planets with a mass of 0.5 to 1 Earth masses , such an impact typically results in a single moon containing 4 % of the host planet 's mass . The inclination of the resulting moon 's orbit is random , but this tilt affects the subsequent dynamic evolution of the system . For example , some orbits may cause the moon to spiral back into the planet . Likewise , the proximity of the planet to the star will also affect the orbital evolution . The net effect is that it is more likely for impact - generated moons to survive when they orbit more distant terrestrial planets and are aligned with the planetary orbit . Possible origin of Theia ( edit ) One suggested pathway for the Big Splash as viewed from the direction of the south pole In 2004 , Princeton University mathematician Edward Belbruno and astrophysicist J. Richard Gott III proposed that Theia coalesced at the L or L Lagrangian point relative to Earth ( in about the same orbit and about 60 ° ahead or behind ) , similar to a trojan asteroid . Two - dimensional computer models suggest that the stability of Theia 's proposed trojan orbit would have been affected when its growing mass exceeded a threshold of approximately 10 % of the Earth 's mass ( the mass of Mars ) . In this scenario , gravitational perturbations by planetesimals caused Theia to depart from its stable Lagrangian location , and subsequent interactions with proto - Earth led to a collision between the two bodies . In 2008 , evidence was presented that suggests that the collision may have occurred later than the accepted value of 4.53 Gya , at approximately 4.48 Gya . A 2014 comparison of computer simulations with elemental abundance measurements in the Earth 's mantle indicated that the collision occurred approximately 95 My after the formation of the Solar System . It has been suggested that other significant objects may have been created by the impact , which could have remained in orbit between the Earth and Moon , stuck in Lagrangian points . Such objects may have stayed within the Earth -- Moon system for as long as 100 million years , until the gravitational tugs of other planets destabilized the system enough to free the objects . A study published in 2011 suggested that a subsequent collision between the Moon and one of these smaller bodies caused the notable differences in physical characteristics between the two hemispheres of the Moon . This collision , simulations have supported , would have been at a low enough velocity so as not to form a crater ; instead , the material from the smaller body would have spread out across the Moon ( in what would become its far side ) , adding a thick layer of highlands crust . The resulting mass irregularities would subsequently produce a gravity gradient that resulted in tidal locking of the Moon so that today , only the near side remains visible from Earth . However , mapping by the GRAIL mission has apparently ruled out this scenario . Modified hypothesis ( edit ) The giant - impact hypothesis fails to properly explain the similar composition of Earth and the Moon . Especially , the indistinguishable relation of oxygen isotopes can not be explained by the classical form of this hypothesis . According to research on the subject that is based on new simulations at the University of Bern by physicist Andreas Reufer and his colleagues , Theia collided directly with Earth instead of barely swiping it . The collision speed may have been higher than originally assumed , and this higher velocity may have totally destroyed Theia . According to this modification , the composition of Theia is not so restricted , making a composition of up to 50 % water ice possible . Alternative hypotheses ( edit ) Main article : Origin of the Moon Other mechanisms that have been suggested at various times for the Moon 's origin are that the Moon was spun off from the Earth 's molten surface by centrifugal force ; that it was formed elsewhere and was subsequently captured by the Earth 's gravitational field ; or that the Earth and the Moon formed at the same time and place from the same accretion disk . None of these hypotheses can account for the high angular momentum of the Earth -- Moon system . Another hypothesis attributes the formation of the Moon to the impact of a large asteroid with the Earth much later than previously thought , creating the satellite primarily from debris from Earth . In this hypothesis , the formation of the Moon occurs 60 -- 140 million years after the formation of the Solar System . Previously , the age of the Moon had been thought to be 4.527 ± 0.010 billion years . The impact in this scenario would have created a magma ocean on Earth and the proto - Moon with both bodies sharing a common plasma metal vapour atmosphere . The shared metal vapour bridge would have allowed material from the Earth and proto - Moon to exchange and equilibrate into a more common composition . Yet another hypothesis proposes that the Moon and the Earth have formed together instead of separately like the giant - impact hypothesis suggests . The new model , developed by Robin M. Canup , suggests that the Moon and the Earth have formed as a part of a massive collision of two planetary bodies , each larger than Mars , which then re-collided to form what we now call Earth . After the recollision , Earth was surrounded by a disk of material , which accreted to form the Moon . This hypothesis could explain facts that others do not .

"The giant-impact hypothesis, sometimes called the Big Splash, or the Theia Impact suggests that the Moon formed out of the debris left over from a collision between Earth and an astronomical body the size of Mars, approximately 4.5 billion years ago, in the Hadean eon; about 20 to 100 million years after the solar system coalesced.[1] The colliding body is sometimes called Theia, from the name of the mythical Greek Titan who was the mother of Selene, the goddess of the Moon.[2] Analysis of lunar rocks, published in a 2016 report, suggests that the impact may have been a direct hit, causing a thorough mixing of both parent bodies.[3]"

It is located across the street from Wynn Las Vegas , behind Alon Las Vegas on 3.46 acres ( 14,000 m ) , near the Fashion Show Mall , and features both non-residential hotel condominiums and residential condominiums . The exterior glass is infused with gold . The hotel is a member of The Leading Hotels of the World . Tower 1 opened on March 31 , 2008 , with 1,282 rooms . The hotel features two restaurants : DJT , named after the developer , and a poolside restaurant , H2 ( eau ) . Due to the overwhelming seller 's response from the first tower , Trump announced that a second , identical tower would be built next to the first tower ; the mid-2000s recession put that plan on indefinite hold . It is Las Vegas 's tallest residential building at 640 feet ( 200 m ) . In September 2012 , the Trump Organization announced that it sold roughly 300 condominium units in Trump International Hotel Las Vegas to Hilton Worldwide 's timeshare division , Hilton Grand Vacations . Contents ( hide ) 1 History 1.1 Second tower 2 Gallery 3 DJT restaurant 4 See also 5 References 6 External links History ( edit ) In April 2002 , Phil Ruffin announced that he had partnered with Donald Trump to build Trump Tower Las Vegas , a $300 million 60 - story condominium tower with 300 units and the possibility of a casino , to be constructed on Fashion Show Drive , near Ruffin 's New Frontier Hotel and Casino . Trump had initially approached Ruffin two years earlier about developing a property on or near the Las Vegas Strip . Construction on Trump Tower Las Vegas was to begin in six to seven months , and was expected to last approximately 18 months . In August 2003 , Ruffin said the tower had been decreased to 43 stories and was expected to cost $272 million . In November 2003 , Trump denied that the project had been delayed or that it was suffering from a lack of financing . Trump also said he was considering `` something on a larger scale '' for the project . In July 2004 , Ruffin said the project had been delayed up to that point because of other business ventures , including Trump 's reality television show , The Apprentice . That month , Trump and Ruffin announced revised plans for Trump International Hotel and Tower , a $300 million condominium - hotel with over 1,000 units . Although Trump held a Nevada gaming license , he chose not to include a casino on the property . Donald Trump 's son , Eric Trump , later said , `` We have no problem getting a gaming license , but we wanted to do something different here . We wanted a true luxury resort experience . It 's hard to have a high - quality product when you walk into ' ding , ding , ding ' and there are people walking around in Hawaiian shirts with big plastic drink mugs . '' Ruffin appeared in an October 2004 episode of The Apprentice to sign a $300 million deal with Trump regarding the project . The project was referenced again in the show 's second - season finale , when winner Kelly Perdew was offered a job at the property . Jack Wishna , who introduced Trump to Ruffin , was a minority partner in the project . In January 2005 , the project was valued at $1 billion . Groundbreaking was initially scheduled for May 2005 , with completion expected by the end of 2006 . By May 2005 , all of the tower 's 1,282 condominium units had been reserved by prospective buyers . Trump and Ruffin held a groundbreaking ceremony for the project on July 12 , 2005 . The Las Vegas Review - Journal wrote that the event was `` really a ribbon - cutting and photo opportunity '' . News programs such as Access Hollywood and Extra provided coverage of the event , which was attended by approximately 300 state and local government representatives , as well as Carolyn Goodman , showgirls , Steve Wynn and his wife Elaine Wynn , and Miss USA 2005 winner Chelsea Cooley . Condominium units went on sale the same day with the opening of a $3 million temporary sales center at the corner of South Las Vegas Boulevard and Fashion Show Drive , in front of the New Frontier . The building was 8,100 sq ft ( 750 m ) , and featured a 10 - foot replica of the tower . That month , an NBA team was in negotiations to purchase an entire floor of the tower , while Trump was considering an alternate version of The Apprentice that would involve the tower . Construction was expected to begin by the end of that summer , and was expected to last 24 to 30 months . Construction began in November 2005 , when the building 's foundation was poured . After the completion of a 36,000 - square - foot recreational deck in March 2006 , an average of 800 workers constructed one new floor for the tower approximately every six days . The tower was topped out on May 25 , 2007 . The project was constructed at a cost of $500 million , on 3 acres ( 1.2 ha ) of land that was part of the rear parking lot for the New Frontier . The project was designed by Bergman , Walls & Associates and built by Perini Building Company . Trump Hotel Las Vegas opened on March 31 , 2008 . An opening ceremony was held by Trump and Ruffin on April 11 , 2008 . By October 2008 , only 21 percent of condo unit sales had closed , as potential buyers had trouble securing mortgages . As of 2013 , Eric Trump oversees operations at the tower . On December 4 -- 5 , 2015 , employees voted to unionize the hotel property . Donald Trump owns a penthouse on the 61st floor . Second tower ( edit ) By April 2005 , a second , identical 64 - story tower was being planned , due to popular demand . Sales of the second tower were planned to begin by the end of 2005 , with a 35 percent increase in prices from the first tower . In November 2005 , the second tower was planned to open sometime in 2009 . In April 2007 , the second tower was the subject of an episode of The Apprentice in which the show 's candidates were tasked with creating a marketing program for the new tower . Condo units for the tower went on sale the next day . Trump said the tower would be nearly identical to the first tower , and would also include 1,282 units . Because of rising construction expenses , the second tower was expected to cost $625 million , which would have brought the total cost of Trump International Hotel and Tower to $1.1 billion . This number was later reported to be $1.2 billion in February 2008 , at which point the second tower was expected to begin construction at the end of the year . In April 2008 , Trump said he had not decided on a start date for the second tower , choosing to wait until all sales had closed on the first tower 's rooms . At that time , reservations were still being accepted for the second tower 's units . The second tower was ultimately put on hold because of bad credit markets . In August 2015 , Eric Trump spoke of the potential for the second tower : `` I think in time it 's a very good possibility .

2470411244734512379 | UTF-8 | UTF - 8 - wikipedia UTF - 8 Jump to : navigation , search UTF - 8 Standard Unicode Standard Language ( s ) International Classification Unicode Transformation Format , Extended ASCII , Variable - width encoding Extends US - ASCII Transforms / Encodes ISO 10646 ( Unicode ) Preceded by UTF - 1 UTF - 8 is a variable width character encoding capable of encoding all 1,112,064 valid code points in Unicode using one to four 8 - bit bytes . The encoding is defined by the Unicode standard , and was originally designed by Ken Thompson and Rob Pike . The name is derived from Unicode ( or Universal Coded Character Set ) Transformation Format -- 8 - bit . It was designed for backward compatibility with ASCII . Code points with lower numerical values , which tend to occur more frequently , are encoded using fewer bytes . The first 128 characters of Unicode , which correspond one - to - one with ASCII , are encoded using a single octet with the same binary value as ASCII , so that valid ASCII text is valid UTF - 8 - encoded Unicode as well . Since ASCII bytes do not occur when encoding non-ASCII code points into UTF - 8 , UTF - 8 is safe to use within most programming and document languages that interpret certain ASCII characters in a special way , such as `` / '' in filenames , `` \ '' in escape sequences , and `` % '' in printf . Shows the usage of the main encodings on the web from 2001 to 2012 as recorded by Google , with UTF - 8 overtaking all others in 2008 and nearing 50 % of the web in 2012 . Note that the ASCII only figure includes web pages with any declared header if they are restricted to ASCII characters . UTF - 8 has been the dominant character encoding for the World Wide Web since 2009 , as it 's most popular in every country , and as of April 2018 accounts for 91.2 % of all ( and 95.4 % of top 1,000 highest ranked ) Web pages ( some of which are simply ASCII , a subset of UTF - 8 ; the next-most popular multibyte encodings , Shift JIS and GB 2312 , have 0.6 % and 0.5 % respectively ) . The Internet Mail Consortium ( IMC ) recommended that all e-mail programs be able to display and create mail using UTF - 8 , and the W3C recommends UTF - 8 as the default encoding in XML and HTML . Contents ( hide ) 1 Description 1.1 Examples 1.2 Codepage layout 1.3 Overlong encodings 1.4 Invalid byte sequences 1.5 Invalid code points 2 Official name and variants 3 Derivatives 3.1 CESU - 8 3.2 Modified UTF - 8 3.3 WTF - 8 4 Byte order mark 5 History 6 Comparison with single - byte encodings 7 Comparison with other multi-byte encodings 8 Comparison with UTF - 16 9 See also 10 Notes 11 References 12 External links Description ( edit ) Since the restriction of the Unicode code - space to 21 - bit values in 2003 , UTF - 8 is defined to encode code points in one to four bytes , depending on the number of significant bits in the numerical value of the code point . The following table shows the structure of the encoding . The x characters are replaced by the bits of the code point . If the number of significant bits is no more than seven , the first line applies ; if no more than 11 bits , the second line applies , and so on . Number of bytes Bits for code point First code point Last code point Byte 1 Byte 2 Byte 3 Byte 4 7 U + 0000 U + 007F 0xxxxxxx 11 U + 0080 U + 07FF 110xxxxx 10xxxxxx 16 U + 0800 U + FFFF 1110xxxx 10xxxxxx 10xxxxxx 21 U + 10000 U + 10FFFF 11110xxx 10xxxxxx 10xxxxxx 10xxxxxx The first 128 characters ( US - ASCII ) need one byte . The next 1,920 characters need two bytes to encode , which covers the remainder of almost all Latin - script alphabets , and also Greek , Cyrillic , Coptic , Armenian , Hebrew , Arabic , Syriac , Thaana and N'Ko alphabets , as well as Combining Diacritical Marks . Three bytes are needed for characters in the rest of the Basic Multilingual Plane , which contains virtually all characters in common use including most Chinese , Japanese and Korean characters . Four bytes are needed for characters in the other planes of Unicode , which include less common CJK characters , various historic scripts , mathematical symbols , and emoji ( pictographic symbols ) . Some of the important features of this encoding are as follows : Backward compatibility : Backwards compatibility with ASCII and the enormous amount of software designed to process ASCII - encoded text was the main driving force behind the design of UTF - 8 . In UTF - 8 , single bytes with values in the range of 0 to 127 map directly to Unicode code points in the ASCII range . Single bytes in this range represent characters , as they do in ASCII . Moreover , 7 - bit bytes ( bytes where the most significant bit is 0 ) never appear in a multi-byte sequence , and no valid multi-byte sequence decodes to an ASCII code - point . A sequence of 7 - bit bytes is both valid ASCII and valid UTF - 8 , and under either interpretation represents the same sequence of characters . Therefore , the 7 - bit bytes in a UTF - 8 stream represent all and only the ASCII characters in the stream . Thus , many text processors , parsers , protocols , file formats , text display programs etc. , which use ASCII characters for formatting and control purposes will continue to work as intended by treating the UTF - 8 byte stream as a sequence of single - byte characters , without decoding the multi-byte sequences . ASCII characters on which the processing turns , such as punctuation , whitespace , and control characters will never be encoded as multi-byte sequences . It is therefore safe for such processors to simply ignore or pass - through the multi-byte sequences , without decoding them . For example , ASCII whitespace may be used to tokenize a UTF - 8 stream into words ; ASCII line - feeds may be used to split a UTF - 8 stream into lines ; and ASCII NUL characters can be used to split UTF - 8 - encoded data into null - terminated strings . Similarly , many format strings used by library functions like `` printf '' will correctly handle UTF - 8 - encoded input arguments . Fallback and auto - detection : UTF - 8 provided backwards compatibility for 7 - bit ASCII , but much software and data uses 8 - bit extended ASCII encodings designed prior to the adoption of Unicode to represent the character sets of European languages . Part of the popularity of UTF - 8 is due to the fact that it provides a form of backward compatibility for these as well . A UTF - 8 processor which erroneously receives an extended ASCII file as input can `` fall back '' or replace 8 - bit bytes using the appropriate code - point in the Unicode Latin - 1 Supplement block , when the 8 - bit byte appears outside a valid multi-byte sequence . The bytes in extended ASCII encodings of `` real world '' text are typically not legal UTF - 8 multi-byte sequences . This is because the bytes which introduce multi-byte sequences in UTF - 8 are primarily accented letters ( mostly vowels ) in the common extended ASCII encodings , and the UTF - 8 continuation bytes are punctuation and symbol characters . To appear as a valid UTF - 8 multi-byte sequence , a series of 2 to 4 extended ASCII 8 - bit characters would have to be an unusual combination of symbols and accented letters ( such as an accented vowel followed immediately by certain punctuation ) . In short , real - world extended ASCII character sequences which look like valid UTF - 8 multi-byte sequences are unlikely . Fallback errors will be false negatives , and these will be rare . Moreover , in many applications , such as text display , the consequence of incorrect fallback is usually slight . Only legibility is affected , and only for a few characters . These two things make fallback feasible , if somewhat imperfect . Indeed , as discussed further below , the HTML5 standard requires that erroneous bytes in supposed UTF - 8 data be replaced upon display on the assumption that they are Windows - 1252 characters . The presence of invalid 8 - bit characters outside valid multi-byte sequences can also be used to `` auto - detect '' that an encoding is actually an extended ASCII encoding rather than UTF - 8 , and decode it accordingly . A UTF - 8 stream may simply contain errors , resulting in the auto - detection scheme producing false positives ; but auto - detection is successful in the majority of cases , especially with longer texts , and is widely used . Prefix code : The first byte indicates the number of bytes in the sequence . Reading from a stream can instantaneously decode each individual fully received sequence , without first having to wait for either the first byte of a next sequence or an end - of - stream indication . The length of multi-byte sequences is easily determined by humans as it is simply the number of high - order 1s in the leading byte . An incorrect character will not be decoded if a stream ends mid-sequence . Self - synchronization : The leading bytes and the continuation bytes do not share values ( continuation bytes start with 10 while single bytes start with 0 and longer lead bytes start with 11 ) . This means a search will not accidentally find the sequence for one character starting in the middle of another character . It also means the start of a character can be found from a random position by backing up at most 3 bytes to find the leading byte . An incorrect character will not be decoded if a stream starts mid-sequence , and a shorter sequence will never appear inside a longer one . Sorting order : The chosen values of the leading bytes and the fact that the continuation bytes have the high - order bits first means that a list of UTF - 8 strings can be sorted in code point order by sorting the corresponding byte sequences . Examples ( edit ) Consider the encoding of the Euro sign , € . The Unicode code point for `` € '' is U + 20AC . According to the scheme table above , this will take three bytes to encode , since it is between U + 0800 and U + FFFF . Hexadecimal 20AC is binary 0010 0000 10 10 1100 . The two leading zeros are added because , as the scheme table shows , a three - byte encoding needs exactly sixteen bits from the code point . Because the encoding will be three bytes long , its leading byte starts with three 1s , then a 0 ( 1110 ... ) The four most significant bits of the code point are stored in the remaining low order four bits of this byte ( 1110 0010 ) , leaving 12 bits of the code point yet to be encoded ( ... 0000 10 10 1100 ) . All continuation bytes contain exactly six bits from the code point . So the next six bits of the code point are stored in the low order six bits of the next byte , and 10 is stored in the high order two bits to mark it as a continuation byte ( so 10 00 0010 ) . Finally the last six bits of the code point are stored in the low order six bits of the final byte , and again 10 is stored in the high order two bits ( 10 10 1100 ) . The three bytes 1110 0010 10 00 0010 10 10 1100 can be more concisely written in hexadecimal , as E2 82 AC . Since UTF - 8 uses groups of six bits , it is sometimes useful to use octal notation which uses 3 - bit groups . With a calculator which can convert between hexadecimal and octal it can be easier to manually create or interpret UTF - 8 compared with using binary . Octal 0200 -- 3777 ( hex 80 - 7FF ) shall be coded with two bytes . xxyy will be 3xx 2yy . Octal 4000 -- 177777 ( hex 800 - FFFF ) shall be coded with three bytes . xxyyzz will be ( 340 + xx ) 2yy 2zz . Octal 200000 - 4177777 ( hex 10000 - 10FFFF ) shall be coded with four bytes . wxxyyzz will be 36w 2xx 2yy 2zz . The following table summarises this conversion , as well as others with different lengths in UTF - 8 . The colors indicate how bits from the code point are distributed among the UTF - 8 bytes . Additional bits added by the UTF - 8 encoding process are shown in black .

The upper half ( 0_ to 7_ ) is for bytes used only in single - byte codes , so it looks like a normal code page ; the lower half is for continuation bytes ( 8_ to B_ ) and ( possible ) leading bytes ( C_ to F_ ) , and is explained further in the legend below .

The hexadecimal number shown after a `` + '' plus sign is the value of the six bits they add . White cells are the leading bytes for a sequence of multiple bytes , the length shown at the left edge of the row . The text shows the Unicode blocks encoded by sequences starting with this byte , and the hexadecimal code point shown in the cell is the lowest character value encoded using that leading byte . Red cells must never appear in a valid UTF - 8 sequence . The first two red cells ( C0 and C1 ) could be used only for a two - byte encoding of a 7 - bit ASCII character which should be encoded in one byte ; as described below such `` overlong '' sequences are disallowed . The red cells in the F row ( F5 to FD ) indicate leading bytes of 4 - byte or longer sequences that can not be valid because they would encode code points larger than the U + 10FFFF limit of Unicode ( a limit derived from the maximum code point encodable in UTF - 16 ) , and FE and FF were never defined for any purpose in UTF - 8 . Pink cells are the leading bytes for a sequence of multiple bytes , of which some , but not all , possible continuation sequences are valid . E0 and F0 could start overlong encodings , in this case the lowest non-overlong - encoded code point is shown . F4 can start code points greater than U + 10FFFF which are invalid . ED can start the encoding of a code point in the range U + D800 -- U + DFFF ; these are invalid since they are reserved for UTF - 16 surrogate halves . Overlong encodings ( edit ) In principle , it would be possible to inflate the number of bytes in an encoding by padding the code point with leading 0s . To encode the Euro sign € from the above example in four bytes instead of three , it could be padded with leading 0s until it was 21 bits long -- 000 000010 000010 101100 , and encoded as 11110 000 10 000010 10 000010 10 101100 ( or F0 82 82 AC in hexadecimal ) . This is called an overlong encoding . The standard specifies that the correct encoding of a code point use only the minimum number of bytes required to hold the significant bits of the code point . Longer encodings are called overlong and are not valid UTF - 8 representations of the code point . This rule maintains a one - to - one correspondence between code points and their valid encodings , so that there is a unique valid encoding for each code point . This ensures that string comparisons and searches are well - defined . Modified UTF - 8 uses the two - byte overlong encoding of U + 0000 ( the NUL character ) , 110 00000 10 000000 ( hexadecimal C0 80 ) , instead of 00000000 ( hexadecimal 00 ) . This allows the byte 00 to be used as a string terminator . Invalid byte sequences ( edit ) Not all sequences of bytes are valid UTF - 8 . A UTF - 8 decoder should be prepared for : the red invalid bytes in the above table an unexpected continuation byte a leading byte not followed by enough continuation bytes ( which can happen in simple string truncation ) an overlong encoding as described above a sequence that decodes to an invalid code point as described below Many earlier decoders would happily try to decode these . Carefully crafted invalid UTF - 8 could make them either skip or create ASCII characters such as NUL , slash , or quotes . Invalid UTF - 8 has been used to bypass security validations in high - profile products including Microsoft 's IIS web server and Apache 's Tomcat servlet container . RFC 3629 states `` Implementations of the decoding algorithm MUST protect against decoding invalid sequences . '' The Unicode Standard requires decoders to `` ... treat any ill - formed code unit sequence as an error condition . This guarantees that it will neither interpret nor emit an ill - formed code unit sequence . '' Many UTF - 8 decoders throw exceptions on encountering errors . This can turn what would otherwise be harmless errors ( producing a message such as `` no such file '' ) into a denial of service bug . Early versions of Python 3.0 would exit immediately if the command line or environment variables contained invalid UTF - 8 , making it impossible to handle such errors . More recent converters translate the first byte of an invalid sequence to a replacement character and continue parsing with the next byte . These error bytes will always have the high bit set . This avoids denial - of - service bugs , and it is very common in text rendering such as browser display , since mangled text is probably more useful than nothing for helping the user figure out what the string was supposed to contain . Popular replacements include : The replacement character `` � '' ( U + FFFD ) The invalid Unicode code points U + DC80 -- U + DCFF where the low eight bits are the byte 's value . Sometimes it is called UTF - 8B . The Unicode code points U + 0080 -- U + 00FF with the same value as the byte , thus interpreting the bytes according to ISO - 8859 - 1 The Unicode code point for the character represented by the byte in CP1252 , which is similar to using ISO - 8859 - 1 , except that some characters in the range 0x80 -- 0x9F are mapped into different Unicode code points . For example , 0x80 becomes the Euro sign , U + 20AC . These replacement algorithms are `` lossy '' , as more than one sequence is translated to the same code point . This means that it would not be possible to reliably convert back to the original encoding , therefore losing information . Reserving 128 code points ( such as U + DC80 -- U + DCFF ) to indicate errors , and defining the UTF - 8 encoding of these points as invalid so they convert to 3 errors , would seem to make conversion lossless . But this runs into practical difficulties : the converted text can not be modified such that errors are arranged so they convert back into valid UTF - 8 , which means if the conversion is UTF - 16 , it can not also be used to store arbitrary invalid UTF - 16 , which is usually needed on the same systems that need invalid UTF - 8 . U + DC80 -- U + DCFF are reserved for UTF - 16 surrogates , so that when they are used for UTF - 8 in this way , and the string is converted to UTF - 16 this can lead to bugs or the string being rejected . The large number of invalid byte sequences provides the advantage of making it easy to have a program accept both UTF - 8 and legacy encodings such as ISO - 8859 - 1 . Software can check for UTF - 8 correctness , and if that fails assume the input to be in the legacy encoding . It is technically true that this may detect an ISO - 8859 - 1 string as UTF - 8 , but this is very unlikely if it contains any 8 - bit bytes as they all have to be in unusual patterns of two or more in a row , such as `` Â £ '' . Invalid code points ( edit ) Since RFC 3629 ( November 2003 ) , the high and low surrogate halves used by UTF - 16 ( U + D800 through U + DFFF ) and code points not encodable by UTF - 16 ( those after U + 10FFFF ) are not legal Unicode values , and their UTF - 8 encoding must be treated as an invalid byte sequence . Not decoding surrogate halves makes it impossible to store invalid UTF - 16 , such as Windows filenames , as UTF - 8 . To preserve these invalid UTF - 16 sequences , their corresponding UTF - 8 encodings are sometimes allowed by implementations despite the above rule . There are attempts to define this behavior formally ( see WTF - 8 and CESU below ) . Official name and variants ( edit ) The official Internet Assigned Numbers Authority ( IANA ) code for the encoding is `` UTF - 8 '' . All letters are upper - case , and the name is hyphenated . This spelling is used in all the Unicode Consortium documents relating to the encoding . Alternatively , the name `` utf - 8 '' may be used by all standards conforming to the IANA list ( which include CSS , HTML , XML , and HTTP headers ) , as the declaration is case insensitive . Other descriptions that omit the hyphen or replace it with a space , such as `` utf8 '' or `` UTF 8 '' , are not accepted as correct by the governing standards . Despite this , most agents such as browsers can understand them , and so standards intended to describe existing practice ( such as HTML5 ) may effectively require their recognition . Unofficially , UTF - 8 - BOM and UTF - 8 - NOBOM are sometimes used to refer to text files which respectively contain and lack a byte order mark ( BOM ) . In Japan especially , UTF - 8 encoding without BOM is sometimes called `` UTF - 8N '' . Supported Windows versions , i.e. Windows 7 and later , have codepage 65001 , as a synonym for UTF - 8 ( with better support than in older Windows ) , and Microsoft has a script for Windows 10 , to enable it by default for its notepad program . In PCL , UTF - 8 is called Symbol - ID `` 18N '' ( PCL supports 183 character encodings , called Symbol Sets , which potentially could be reduced to one , 18N , that is UTF - 8 ) . Derivatives ( edit ) The following implementations show slight differences from the UTF - 8 specification . They are incompatible with the UTF - 8 specification and may be rejected by conforming UTF - 8 applications . CESU - 8 ( edit ) Main article : CESU - 8 Many programs added UTF - 8 conversions for UCS - 2 data and did not alter this UTF - 8 conversion when UCS - 2 was replaced with the surrogate - pair using UTF - 16 . In such programs each half of a UTF - 16 surrogate pair is encoded as its own three - byte UTF - 8 encoding , resulting in six - byte sequences rather than four bytes for characters outside the Basic Multilingual Plane . Oracle and MySQL databases use this , as well as Java and Tcl as described below , and probably many Windows programs where the programmers were unaware of the complexities of UTF - 16 . Although this non-optimal encoding is generally not deliberate , a supposed benefit is that it preserves UTF - 16 binary sorting order when CESU - 8 is binary sorted . Modified UTF - 8 ( edit ) In Modified UTF - 8 ( MUTF - 8 ) , the null character ( U + 0000 ) uses the two - byte overlong encoding 110 00000 10 000000 ( hexadecimal C0 80 ) , instead of 00000000 ( hexadecimal 00 ) . Modified UTF - 8 strings never contain any actual null bytes but can contain all Unicode code points including U + 0000 , which allows such strings ( with a null byte appended ) to be processed by traditional null - terminated string functions . All known Modified UTF - 8 implementations also treat the surrogate pairs as in CESU - 8 . In normal usage , the Java programming language supports standard UTF - 8 when reading and writing strings through InputStreamReader and OutputStreamWriter ( if it is the platform 's default character set or as requested by the program ) . However it uses Modified UTF - 8 for object serialization among other applications of DataInput and DataOutput , for the Java Native Interface , and for embedding constant strings in class files . The dex format defined by Dalvik also uses the same modified UTF - 8 to represent string values . Tcl also uses the same modified UTF - 8 as Java for internal representation of Unicode data , but uses strict CESU - 8 for external data . WTF - 8 ( edit ) WTF - 8 ( Wobbly Transformation Format -- 8 - bit ) is an extension of UTF - 8 where the encodings of the surrogate halves ( U + D800 through U + DFFF ) are allowed . This is necessary to store possibly - invalid UTF - 16 , such as Windows filenames . Many systems that deal with UTF - 8 work this way without considering it a different encoding , as it is simpler . WTF - 8 has been used to refer to erroneously doubly - encoded UTF - 8 . Byte order mark ( edit ) Main article : Byte order mark Many Windows programs ( including Windows Notepad ) add the bytes 0xEF , 0xBB , 0xBF at the start of any document saved as UTF - 8 . This is the UTF - 8 encoding of the Unicode byte order mark ( BOM ) , and is commonly referred to as a UTF - 8 BOM , even though it is not relevant to byte order . A BOM can also appear if another encoding with a BOM is translated to UTF - 8 without stripping it . Software that is not aware of multibyte encodings will display the BOM as three garbage characters at the start of the document , e.g. `` ï '' ¿ '' in software interpreting the document as ISO 8859 - 1 or Windows - 1252 or `` ∩ ╗ ┐ '' if interpreted as code page 437 , a default for certain older Windows console applications . The Unicode Standard neither requires nor recommends the use of the BOM for UTF - 8 , but warns that it may be encountered at the start of a file as a transcoding artifact . The presence of the UTF - 8 BOM may cause problems with existing software that can handle UTF - 8 , for example : Programming language parsers not explicitly designed for UTF - 8 can often handle UTF - 8 in string constants and comments , but will choke on encountering an UTF - 8 BOM at the start of the file . Programs that identify file types by leading characters may fail to identify the file if a UTF - 8 BOM is present even if the user of the file could skip the BOM . An example is the Unix shebang syntax . Another example is Internet Explorer which will render pages in standards mode only when it starts with a document type declaration . Programs that insert information at the start of a file will break use of the BOM to identify UTF - 8 ( one example is offline browsers that add the originating URL to the start of the file ) . History ( edit ) By early 1992 , the search was on for a good byte stream encoding of multi-byte character sets . The draft ISO 10646 standard contained a non-required annex called UTF - 1 that provided a byte stream encoding of its 32 - bit code points . This encoding was not satisfactory on performance grounds , among other problems , and the biggest problem was probably that it did not have a clear separation between ASCII and non-ASCII : new UTF - 1 tools would be backward compatible with ASCII - encoded text , but UTF - 1 - encoded text could confuse existing code expecting ASCII ( or extended ASCII ) , because it could contain continuation bytes in the range 0x21 -- 0x7E that meant something else in ASCII , e.g. , 0x2F for ' / ' , the Unix path directory separator , and this example is reflected in the name and introductory text of its replacement . The table below was derived from a textual description in the annex . UTF - 1 Number of bytes First code point Last code point Byte 1 Byte 2 Byte 3 Byte 4 Byte 5 U + 0000 U + 009F 00 -- 9F U + 00A0 U + 00FF A0 A0 -- FF U + 0100 U + 4015 A1 -- F5 21 -- 7E , A0 -- FF U + 4016 U + 38E2D F6 -- FB 21 -- 7E , A0 -- FF 21 -- 7E , A0 -- FF 5 U + 38E2E U + 7FFFFFFF FC -- FF 21 -- 7E , A0 -- FF 21 -- 7E , A0 -- FF 21 -- 7E , A0 -- FF 21 -- 7E , A0 -- FF In July 1992 , the X / Open committee XoJIG was looking for a better encoding . Dave Prosser of Unix System Laboratories submitted a proposal for one that had faster implementation characteristics and introduced the improvement that 7 - bit ASCII characters would only represent themselves ; all multibyte sequences would include only bytes where the high bit was set . The name File System Safe UCS Transformation Format ( FSS - UTF ) and most of the text of this proposal were later preserved in the final specification . FSS - UTF proposal ( 1992 ) Number of bytes Bits for code point First code point Last code point Byte 1 Byte 2 Byte 3 Byte 4 Byte 5 7 U + 0000 U + 007F 0xxxxxxx 13 U + 0080 U + 207F 10xxxxxx 1xxxxxxx 19 U + 2080 U + 8207F 110xxxxx 1xxxxxxx 1xxxxxxx 25 U + 82080 U + 208207F 1110xxxx 1xxxxxxx 1xxxxxxx 1xxxxxxx 5 31 U + 2082080 U + 7FFFFFFF 11110xxx 1xxxxxxx 1xxxxxxx 1xxxxxxx 1xxxxxxx In August 1992 , this proposal was circulated by an IBM X / Open representative to interested parties . A modification by Ken Thompson of the Plan 9 operating system group at Bell Labs made it somewhat less bit - efficient than the previous proposal but crucially allowed it to be self - synchronizing , letting a reader start anywhere and immediately detect byte sequence boundaries . It also abandoned the use of biases and instead added the rule that only the shortest possible encoding is allowed ; the additional loss in compactness is relatively insignificant , but readers now have to look out for invalid encodings to avoid reliability and especially security issues . Thompson 's design was outlined on September 2 , 1992 , on a placemat in a New Jersey diner with Rob Pike . In the following days , Pike and Thompson implemented it and updated Plan 9 to use it throughout , and then communicated their success back to X / Open , which accepted it as the specification for FSS - UTF . FSS - UTF ( 1992 ) / UTF - 8 ( 1993 ) Number of bytes Bits for code point First code point Last code point Byte 1 Byte 2 Byte 3 Byte 4 Byte 5 Byte 6 7 U + 0000 U + 007F 0xxxxxxx 11 U + 0080 U + 07FF 110xxxxx 10xxxxxx 16 U + 0800 U + FFFF 1110xxxx 10xxxxxx 10xxxxxx 21 U + 10000 U + 1FFFFF 11110xxx 10xxxxxx 10xxxxxx 10xxxxxx 5 26 U + 200000 U + 3FFFFFF 111110xx 10xxxxxx 10xxxxxx 10xxxxxx 10xxxxxx 6 31 U + 4000000 U + 7FFFFFFF 1111110x 10xxxxxx 10xxxxxx 10xxxxxx 10xxxxxx 10xxxxxx UTF - 8 was first officially presented at the USENIX conference in San Diego , from January 25 to 29 , 1993 . In November 2003 , UTF - 8 was restricted by RFC 3629 to match the constraints of the UTF - 16 character encoding : explicitly prohibiting code points corresponding to the high and low surrogate characters removed more than 3 % of the three - byte sequences , and ending at U + 10FFFF removed more than 48 % of the four - byte sequences and all five - and six - byte sequences . Google reported that in 2008 , UTF - 8 ( labelled `` Unicode '' ) became the most common encoding for HTML files . Comparison with single - byte encodings ( edit ) UTF - 8 can encode any Unicode character , avoiding the need to figure out and set a `` code page '' or otherwise indicate what character set is in use , and allowing output in multiple scripts at the same time . For many scripts there have been more than one single - byte encoding in usage , so even knowing the script was insufficient information to display it correctly . The bytes 0xFE and 0xFF do not appear , so a valid UTF - 8 stream never matches the UTF - 16 byte order mark and thus can not be confused with it . The absence of 0xFF ( 0377 ) also eliminates the need to escape this byte in Telnet ( and FTP control connection ) . UTF - 8 encoded text is larger than specialized single - byte encodings except for plain ASCII characters . In the case of scripts which used 8 - bit character sets with non-Latin characters encoded in the upper half ( such as most Cyrillic and Greek alphabet code pages ) , characters in UTF - 8 will be double the size . For some scripts , such as Thai and Devanagari ( which is used by various South Asian languages ) , characters will triple in size . There are even examples where a single byte turns into a composite character in Unicode and is thus six times larger in UTF - 8 . This has caused objections in India and other countries . It is possible in UTF - 8 ( or any other multi-byte encoding ) to split or truncate a string in the middle of a character . This can result in an invalid string which some software refuses to accept . A good parser should ignore a truncated character at the end , which is easy in UTF - 8 but tricky in some other multi-byte encodings . If the code points are all the same size , measurements of a fixed number of them is easy . Due to ASCII - era documentation where `` character '' is used as a synonym for `` byte '' this is often considered important . However , by measuring string positions using bytes instead of `` characters '' most algorithms can be easily and efficiently adapted for UTF - 8 . Searching for a string within a long string can for example be done byte by byte ; the self - synchronization property prevents false positives . Some software , such as text editors , will refuse to correctly display or interpret UTF - 8 unless the text starts with a byte order mark , and will insert such a mark . This has the effect of making it impossible to use UTF - 8 with any older software that can handle ASCII - like encodings but can not handle the byte order mark . This , however , is no problem of UTF - 8 itself but one of bad software implementations . Comparison with other multi-byte encodings ( edit ) UTF - 8 can encode any Unicode character . Files in different scripts can be displayed correctly without having to choose the correct code page or font . For instance Chinese and Arabic can be supported ( in the same text ) without special codes inserted or manual settings to switch the encoding . UTF - 8 is self - synchronizing : character boundaries are easily identified by scanning for well - defined bit patterns in either direction . If bytes are lost due to error or corruption , one can always locate the next valid character and resume processing . If there is a need to shorten a string to fit a specified field , the previous valid character can easily be found . Many multi-byte encodings are much harder to resynchronize . Any byte oriented string searching algorithm can be used with UTF - 8 data , since the sequence of bytes for a character can not occur anywhere else . Some older variable - length encodings ( such as Shift JIS ) did not have this property and thus made string - matching algorithms rather complicated . In Shift JIS the end byte of a character and the first byte of the next character could look like another legal character , something that ca n't happen in UTF - 8 . Efficient to encode using simple bit operations . UTF - 8 does not require slower mathematical operations such as multiplication or division ( unlike Shift JIS , GB 2312 and other encodings ) . UTF - 8 will take more space than a multi-byte encoding designed for a specific script . East Asian legacy encodings generally used two bytes per character yet take three bytes per character in UTF - 8 . Comparison with UTF - 16 ( edit ) Byte encodings and UTF - 8 are represented by byte arrays in programs , and often nothing needs to be done to a function when converting from a byte encoding to UTF - 8 . UTF - 16 is represented by 16 - bit word arrays , and converting to UTF - 16 while maintaining compatibility with existing ASCII - based programs ( such as was done with Windows ) requires every API and data structure that takes a string to be duplicated , one version accepting byte strings and another version accepting UTF - 16 . Text encoded in UTF - 8 will be smaller than the same text encoded in UTF - 16 if there are more code points below U + 0080 than in the range U + 0800 ... U + FFFF . This is true for all modern European languages . Text in ( for example ) Chinese , Japanese or Devanagari will take more space in UTF - 8 if there are more of these characters than there are ASCII characters . This is likely when data mainly consist of pure prose , but is lessened by the degree to which the context uses ASCII whitespace , digits , and punctuation . Most of the rich text formats ( including HTML ) contain a large proportion of ASCII characters for the sake of formatting , thus the size usually will be reduced significantly compared with UTF - 16 , even when the language mostly uses 3 - byte long characters in UTF - 8 . Most communication ( e.g. HTML and IP ) and storage ( e.g. for Unix ) was designed for a stream of bytes . A UTF - 16 string must use a pair of bytes for each code unit : The order of those two bytes becomes an issue and must be specified in the UTF - 16 protocol , such as with a byte order mark . If an odd number of bytes is missing from UTF - 16 , the whole rest of the string will be meaningless text . Any bytes missing from UTF - 8 will still allow the text to be recovered accurately starting with the next character after the missing bytes .

-4600819016759254636 | List of North Carolina hurricanes | List of North Carolina hurricanes - wikipedia List of North Carolina hurricanes Hurricane Floyd ten hours prior to its North Carolina landfall in mid September 1999 ; Floyd caused the worst modern disaster in the state The list of North Carolina hurricanes includes 413 known tropical or subtropical cyclones that have affected the U.S. state of North Carolina . Due to its location , many hurricanes have hit the state directly , and numerous hurricanes have passed near or through North Carolina in its history ; the state is ranked fourth , after Florida , Texas , and Louisiana , in the number of cyclones that produced hurricane - force winds in a U.S. state . Hurricanes in North Carolina history are responsible for over $11 billion in damage ( 2008 USD ) and almost 1,000 total fatalities . Contents 1 Climatology 2 Pre-1900 3 1900 -- 1949 4 1950 -- 1979 5 1980 -- Present 6 North Carolina major hurricanes 7 Deadly storms 8 See also 9 References Climatology ( edit ) As to statistical hurricane research between 1883 and 1996 by the North Carolina State Climatology Office , a tropical cyclone makes landfall along the coastline about once every four years . An estimated 17.5 percent of all North Atlantic tropical cyclones have affected the state . Additionally , the remnants of a few Pacific tropical cyclones struck the state . Cape Hatteras is most affected by storms within the state , though Cape Lookout and Cape Fear are also regularly affected ; the increased activity in three areas is because it protrudes from elsewhere along the Atlantic coastline . After Southern Florida , Cape Hatteras has the lowest return period , or the frequency at which a certain intensity or category of hurricane can be expected within 86 mi ( 139 km ) of a given location , in the country . As the Outer Banks are a narrow strip of low - lying land , hurricanes occasionally leave portions of the land partially or fully submerged . Additionally , the remnants of inland tropical cyclones have produced flooding and landslides in the state 's western region . Tropical cyclones have affected North Carolina in every month between May and December ; about 35 percent of the storms struck the state in September , and 80 percent affected the state between August and October , which coincides with the peak of the hurricane season . The earliest storm to affect the state was Subtropical Storm Andrea on May 7 , 2007 , and the latest was a tropical storm that moved across the Outer Banks on December 2 , 1925 . The strongest storm to strike the state was Hurricane Hazel on October 15 , 1954 , which made landfall as a Category 4 hurricane on the Saffir -- Simpson Hurricane Scale . Pre-1900 ( edit ) Topographic map of North Carolina Main article : List of North Carolina hurricanes ( pre-1900 ) The list of North Carolina hurricanes before 1900 encompasses 139 tropical cyclones that affected the U.S. state of North Carolina . Collectively , cyclones in North Carolina during the time period resulted in over 775 direct fatalities during the period . Seven cyclones affected the state in the 1893 season , which was the year with the most tropical cyclones devastating the state during the time period . From the beginning of the official Atlantic hurricane record in 1851 to 1899 , there were 12 years without a known tropical cyclone affecting the state . Historical data prior to 1700 is sparse due to lack of significant European settlements along the coastline ; the few storms listed are largely records from Roanoke Colony and later the Province of Carolina . Modern meteorologists believe early storms were tropical cyclones , though due to the time period confirmation is impossible . One theory explaining the disappearance of Roanoke Colony suggests a hurricane destroyed the village , though there is no evidence to prove the theory . It is considered unlikely due to lack of damage to a fence around the village , on which the villagers left an inscription . 1900 -- 1949 ( edit ) Damage from 1933 Outer Banks hurricane Main article : List of North Carolina hurricanes ( 1900 -- 1949 ) Between 1900 and 1949 , 75 tropical cyclones or their remnants affected the state . Collectively , cyclones in North Carolina during that time period resulted in 53 total fatalities during the period , as well as about $328 million in damage ( 2008 USD ) . Tropical cyclone affected the state in all but nine seasons . In the 1916 season , five storms affected the state , which was the season with the most storms devastating the state . The strongest hurricanes to affect the state during the time period were the 1933 Outer Banks hurricane and the 1944 Great Atlantic Hurricane , which produced winds of Category 3 status on the Saffir -- Simpson Hurricane Scale within the state . The 1933 Outer Banks hurricane was the deadliest hurricane in the state during the time period , which killed 21 people . The remnants of a hurricane in 1940 dropped heavy rainfall in the state , which caused over $150 million in damage ( 2008 USD ) from flooding and landslides . 1950 -- 1979 ( edit ) Radar image of Hurricane Connie near North Carolina Main article : List of North Carolina hurricanes ( 1950 -- 1979 ) A total of 79 tropical or subtropical cyclones affected North Carolina between 1950 and 1979 . Collectively , cyclones during the time period resulted in 37 total fatalities during the period , as well as about $3 billion in damage ( 2008 USD ) . A cyclone affected the state in every year during the time period , and in three seasons a total of five cyclones assailed the state . The strongest hurricane to hit the state during the time period was Hurricane Hazel , which struck the state as a Category 4 hurricane on the Saffir -- Simpson Hurricane Scale . Hazel was both the costliest and deadliest cyclone during the period , causing over $1 billion in damage ( 2008 USD ) and 19 deaths . Most storms affected the state in September , though cyclones lashed the state between May and October . 1980 -- present ( edit ) New inlet created by Hurricane Isabel ( USGS ) Main articles : List of North Carolina hurricanes ( 1980 -- 1999 ) and List of North Carolina hurricanes ( 2000 -- present ) The period from 1980 to the present encompasses 120 tropical or subtropical cyclones that affected the state . Collectively , cyclones in North Carolina during the time period resulted in over $10 billion in damage ( 2010 USD ) , primarily from hurricanes Fran and Floyd . Additionally , tropical cyclones in North Carolina were responsible for 77 direct fatalities and at least 44 indirect casualties during the period . Eight cyclones affected the state in the 1985 season , which was the year with the most tropical cyclones striking the state . Every year included at least one tropical cyclone affecting the state . The strongest hurricane to hit the state during the time period was Hurricane Fran in 1996 , which struck near Wilmington as a Category 3 hurricane on the Saffir -- Simpson Hurricane Scale ; Hurricane Emily in 1993 brushed the Outer Banks also as a Category 3 hurricane . The deadliest hurricane during the period was Hurricane Floyd in 1999 , which caused 35 fatalities and record -- breaking flooding in the eastern portion of the state . Hurricane Irene hit the Outer Banks on August 27th 2011 as a Category 1 , making it the first of its kind to make landfall since Hurricane Ike in 2008 . North Carolina major hurricanes ( edit ) The following major hurricanes either made landfall on the state or brought winds of Category 3 status to the state . Storms are listed since 1851 , which is the official start of the Atlantic hurricane database . Storm Saffir -- Simpson Date of landfall Year Landfall intensity ( in knots ) Landfall location Unnamed August 19 1879 100 Cape Lookout San Ciriaco August 18 1899 105 Hatteras Unnamed September 16 1933 100 Ocracoke Great Atlantic Hurricane September 14 1944 100 Cape Hatteras Hurricane Hazel October 15 1954 115 Near South Carolina / North Carolina state line Hurricane Connie August 12 1955 100 Portsmouth Hurricane Ione September 19 1955 100 Morehead City Hurricane Helene September 27 1958 100 Offshore Outer Banks Hurricane Donna September 12 1960 100 Emerald Isle Hurricane Diana September 13 1984 100 Cape Fear Hurricane Emily August 31 100 Offshore Hatteras Island Hurricane Fran September 5 100 Cape Fear Deadly storms ( edit ) The table lists hurricanes by death tolls of over 20 fatalities . Direct deaths are those that are directly caused by the storm passage , such as drownings or deaths from being struck by windblown objects . Indirect deaths , which are not included in the toll of Hurricane Floyd , are those that are related to the storm , but not directly from its storm effects . Due to lack of data , many early hurricanes have overall death tolls that do not specify indirect or direct .

-9069904113076405232 | Prefabricated home | Prefabricated home - wikipedia Prefabricated home Construction of a prefabricated modular house ( see also time - lapse video ) Prefabricated homes , often referred to as prefab homes or simply prefabs , are specialist dwelling types of prefabricated building , which are manufactured off - site in advance , usually in standard sections that can be easily shipped and assembled . Some current prefab home designs include architectural details inspired by postmodernism or futurist architecture . Contents 1 Word origin 2 Prefabricated housing 2.1 Manufactured homes 3 History 3.1 North America 3.1. 1 United States 3.2 Zoning issues 4 Europe 4.1 United Kingdom 5 Australia and Asia 6 The future 7 See also 8 References 9 External links Word origin ( edit ) `` Loren '' Iron House , at Old Gippstown in Moe , Australia The word ' prefab ' is not an industry term like modular home , manufactured home , panelized home or site - built home . The term is an amalgamation of panelized and modular building systems , and can mean either one . In today 's usage the term ' prefab ' is more closely related to the style of home , usually modernist , rather than to a particular method of home construction . Prefabricated housing ( edit ) Uninhabited prefabricated council houses in Seacroft , Leeds , UK ' Prefabricated ' may refer to buildings built in components ( e.g. panels ) , modules ( modular homes ) or transportable sections ( manufactured homes ) , and may also be used to refer to mobile homes , i.e. , houses on wheels . Although similar , the methods and design of the three vary widely . There are two - level home plans , as well as custom home plans . There are considerable differences in the construction types . In the U.S. , mobile and manufactured houses are constructed in accordance with HUD building codes , while modular houses are constructed in accordance with the IBC ( International Building Code ) . Modular homes are created in sections , and then transported to the home site for construction and installation . These are typically installed and treated like a regular house , for financing , appraisal and construction purposes , and are usually the most expensive of the three . Although the sections of the house are prefabricated , the sections , or modules , are put together at the construction much like a typical home . Manufactured homes , once placed on a permanent foundation , are considered the same as modular or site build homes for appraisal purposes . Manufactured homes are built onto steel beams , and are transported in complete sections to the home site , where they are assembled . Wheels , hitch and axles are removed on site when the home is placed on a permanent foundation . Mobile homes , or trailers , are built on wheels , that can be pulled by a vehicle . They are considered to be personal property , and are licensed by the Dept. of Motor Vehicles . `` Tiny homes '' , which are gaining in popularity , are within this category . They must be built to the DMV code , and pass inspection for licensing . Mobile homes and manufactured homes can be placed in mobile home parks , and manufactured homes can also be placed on private land , unless the land is within a subdivision whose CC&Rs prohibit manufactured housing . Interior of a preserved prefab at St Fagans National History Museum , Cardiff , UK Manufactured homes ( edit ) Main article : Manufactured housing Constructing manufactured homes typically involves connecting plumbing and electrical lines across the sections , and sealing the sections together . Manufactured homes can be single , double or triple - wide , describing how many sections wide it is . Many manufactured home companies manufacture a variety of different designs , and many of the floorplans are available online . Manufactured homes can be built onto a permanent foundation , and if designed correctly , can be difficult to distinguish from a stick - built home to the untrained eye . Manufactured homes are typically purchased from a retail sales company , initially assembled by a local contracting company , and follow - up repairs performed by the manufactured home company under warranty . A manufactured home , once assembled , goes through a ' settling - in ' period , where the home will settle into its location . During this period , some drywall cracking may appear , and any incorrectly installed appliances , wiring or plumbing should be repaired , hopefully under warranty . If not covered under warranty , the costs will be borne by the consumer . For this reason , it is important that the consumer ensure that a reputable and honest contractor is used for the initial set - up . If any repairs are not completed by the initial set - up crew , the manufacturer will send repair crews to repair anything covered by the warranty . The secondary repair team must be scheduled , and may not be available immediately for most repairs . Just because a manufactured home has been assembled does not mean it is immediately habitable ; appropriate ventilation , heating , plumbing , and electrical systems must be installed by a set - up crew , otherwise , the buyer must wait for the manufacturer repair team or do it themselves . History ( edit ) The first prefabricated homes and movable structures were invented in 16th century in India by Akbar . These structures were reported by Arif Qandahari in 1579 . It can be proved that the first mention of a prefabricated building was in 1160 to 1170 by Wace as confirmed by Pierre Bouet . In the special May / June 2015 edition of the French magazine Historia , he spoke of a castle transported by Normans in ' kit ' form . According to Bouet , Wace 's epic poem Roman de Rou , verses 6,516 -- 6,526 , states : `` They took out of the ship beams of wood and dragged them to the ground . Then the Count ( Earl ) who brought them , ( the beams ) already pierced and planed , carved and trimmed , the pegs ( raw - plugs / dowels ) already trimmed and transported in barrels , erected a castle , had a moat dug around it and thus had constructed a big fortress during the night . '' North America ( edit ) Wooden homes have always been popular in North America , due to the large quantity of timber available in North America . In the United States , several companies including Sears Catalog Homes began offering mail - order kit homes between 1902 and 1910 . In the United Kingdom , more than 156,000 prefabricated homes were built between 1945 and 1948 . After the World War II until 1948 , Sell - Fertighaus GmbH built over 5,000 prefabricated houses in Germany for the occupying force of the United States . United States ( edit ) A modern North American log style prefabricated house The prefab house requires much less labor compared to conventional houses . Most of the companies sell pre-manufactured modular homes called ' mobile homes ' or ' manufactured homes ' . Local governments in North America generally have specialized regulations such as HUD regulations besides general building codes , applicable to pre-manufactured housing . Zoning issues ( edit ) Manufactured homes are not permitted in some communities , and therefore , a prospective homeowner should check the local construction law and zoning code pertaining to prefab homes . Europe ( edit ) German - manufactured Huf Haus near West Linton , Scotland There is no pan-EU housing standard for this kind of home construction , as regulation has historically been at the national government level . There are however many EU directives that do apply to housing construction and design , but these directives do not directly affect the inter-EU modular home sector due to inter-EU free trade considerations . However , each modular home is legally expected or obliged to be integrated into the local building regulations once the final construction is finished . United Kingdom ( edit ) A post-Second World War English prefabricated house , adjoining a similar property reconstructed in brick Main article : British post-war temporary prefab houses In the United Kingdom the word ' prefab ' is often associated with a specific type of prefabricated house built in large numbers after the Second World War , such as Airey houses , as a temporary replacement for housing that had been destroyed by bombs , particularly in London . Despite the intention that these dwellings would be a strictly temporary measure , many remained inhabited for years and even decades after the end of the war . A small number are still in use in the 21st century , but more and more are being demolished . In 2011 it was announced that Britain 's largest remaining prefab estate of 187 homes in Lewisham , South - East London , is to be redeveloped except for six homes . Prefabs were also built in the First World War such as the still occupied houses in Austin Village , Birmingham . The latest iteration of the idea is a development of 36 apartments called y : cube made by the YMCA in Mitcham , South London Australia and asia ( edit ) An Australian prefabricated house There are a small number of prefab home builders in Australia . In the overall housing sector , prefab housing construction is very small as the overall rate of housing construction has been very low due to slow population growth . The prefab sector in Australia is more optimised for exporting its product , as domestic consumption is limited . In 2010 , Bali exported 98,417 prefabicated houses , but in 2011 the country only exported 5,007 units due to the global economic slowdown that affected a number of export destinations . These Balinese prefab houses are well known for their artistic design and practical value . The future ( edit ) Prefab homes are becoming popular in Europe , Canada and United States as they are relatively cheap when compared to many existing homes on the market . The 2007 finance crisis has however deflated the cost of housing in North America and Europe , so not all prefab homes should be assumed to be cheaper than existing housing . Modern architects are experimenting with prefabrication as a means to deliver well - designed and mass - produced modern homes . Modern architecture forgoes referential decoration and instead features clean lines and open floor plans . Because of the design simplifications modern architecture provides ( coupled with the cost savings that tend go with design simplification ) many in the manufactured housing sector generally feel that modern architecture designs are better suited for prefab home construction .

Art by Mike Deodato Jr . Publication information Publisher Marvel Comics First appearance Journey into Mystery # 83 ( August 1962 ) Created by Stan Lee Jack Kirby Joe Sinnott In story information Type Mystic item / artifact , Weapon Element of stories featuring Thor Mjolnir ( / ˈmoʊlnɪr / MOHL - n ( ee ) r ) is a fictional weapon appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics . It is depicted as the principal weapon of the superhero Thor . Mjolnir , which first appears in Journey into Mystery # 83 ( August 1962 ) , was created by writer Stan Lee and designed by artists Jack Kirby and Joe Sinnott . Mjolnir was typically depicted as a large , square - headed gray sledgehammer . It has a short , round handle wrapped in brown leather , culminating in a looped lanyard . The object is based on Mjölnir , the weapon of the mythological Thor . Contents ( hide ) 1 Publication history 2 Background 3 Other wielders 4 Powers and abilities 5 Other versions 6 In other media 7 References 8 External links Publication history ( edit ) Mjolnir debuted in Journey into Mystery # 83 ( Aug. 1962 ) for Marvel Comics . Prior to this time , `` Mjolnar , '' invented by Joe Simon and Jack Kirby , appeared in Adventure Comics # 75 ( Jun. 1942 ) , in the Sandman story , `` The Villain from Valhalla . '' For Marvel , the hammer was immediately established as the main weapon of the Thunder god Thor . The weapon 's origin is revealed in Thor Annual # 11 ( 1983 ) , although another version is presented in Thor vol. 2 , # 80 ( Aug. 2004 ) . In a 2002 documentary with Kevin Smith , Lee says his brother Larry Lieber made up the name of Thor 's hammer referring to the hammer 's original name , the `` Uru Hammer '' . Later , writer Roy Thomas changed the name of the hammer to the mythologically correct name of `` Mjolnir '' and used the name `` Uru '' created by Larry Lieber as the name of the fictional metal that the hammer is made from . Other significant moments in Marvel continuity include the altering of Mjolnir 's enchantments in Thor # 282 ( April 1979 ) and Thor # 340 ( Feb. 1984 ) ; the temporary possession of Mjolnir by a member of the Enchanters Three in Thor vol. 3 , # 14 -- 15 ( Aug. -- Sep. 1999 ) ; and when the hammer has been damaged , occurring in Journey Into Mystery # 119 ( Aug. 1965 ) ; Avengers # 215 ( Jan. 1982 ) ; Thor # 388 ( Feb. 1988 ) ; Thor vol. 2 , # 11 ( May 1999 ) ; Thor vol. 2 , # 80 ( Aug. 2004 ) and Thor vol. 3 , # 600 ( Feb. 2009 ) . Background ( edit ) In Marvel continuity , Mjolnir is forged by Dwarven blacksmiths , and is composed of the fictional Asgardian metal uru . The side of the hammer carries the inscription `` Whosoever holds this hammer , if he be worthy , shall possess the power of Thor . '' The hammer is created when Thor 's adopted brother Loki cuts off the hair of the goddess Sif as part of a cruel jest , and , when threatened with violence by Thor , promises to fetch replacement hair from the dwarf smiths . Loki commissions the hair from the Sons of Ivaldi and the obliging dwarves also make a magic ship and spear as gifts for the gods . Loki is convinced that no one can match their workmanship , and challenges a dwarf named Eitri to make finer treasures . Eitri creates a golden ring and golden boar spear with magical properties , and finally begins work on a hammer . Loki panics at the sight of the treasures , and , afraid he will lose the wager , transforms himself into a mayfly and stings Eitri 's assistant on the brow as he is working the bellows for the forge . The assistant stops for a moment to wipe away the blood , and the bellows fall flat . As a result , the hammer 's handle is shorter in length than Eitri had originally intended , meaning that the hammer could only be wielded one - handed . Despite the error , the Norse gods consider Eitri to have forged the greater treasures , and in retaliation Loki loses the bet and the Sons of Ivaldi sew Loki 's lips shut . The ruler of the Norse gods , Odin , uses the hammer -- called Mjolnir ( `` Grinder '' ) by Eitri -- and eventually passes it to his son Thor , who must first prove he is worthy to wield the weapon . Another version of the hammer 's origin is presented in the second volume of the title Thor , in which Odin orders the dwarven blacksmiths Eitri , Brok and Buri to forge Mjolnir using the core of a star ( the movie uses this origin as well , and Odin says that Mjolnir was `` forged in the heart of a dying star '' ) and an enchanted forge . The forging of the hammer is apparently so intense it destroys the star and nearly the Earth itself . An additional alternate take on Mjolnir 's origin is presented in Jason Aaron 's The Mighty Thor series . It is explained that the Mother Storm , a sentient storm the size of a galaxy , had once threatened all of Asgard . After a fierce battle , Odin managed to trap it within a nugget of uru that had earlier been given to him by dwarven blacksmiths . He ordered the dwarves to forge the nugget into a weapon that would be able to harness the Mother Storm 's power , but found it too difficult to control . The hammer was forgotten until eons later , when Thor was finally able to lift it and make it his personal weapon . Mjolnir itself has several enchantments : no living being may lift the hammer unless they are worthy ; it returns to the exact spot from which it is thrown and returns to Thor when summoned ; it may summon the elements of storm ( lightning , wind , and rain ) by stamping its handle twice on the ground ; manipulate the weather on an almost global scale ; open interdimensional portals , allowing its wielder to travel to other dimensions ( such as from Earth to Asgard ) ; and transform Thor into the guise of a mortal , the physician Donald Blake , by stamping the hammer 's head on the ground once and willing the change . When Thor transforms into Blake , his hammer takes the appearance of a wooden walking stick . When disguised , the hammer 's enchantments limiting those who may lift it are not in effect . The hammer itself has also shown to be unaffected by external enchantments . Thor has several times used Mjolnir to pin down opponents , since they can not lift the hammer . A previous provision of this enchantment required that the hammer could not be `` gone from Thor 's grasp , '' or out of physical contact with Thor for more than `` sixty seconds full '' without his spontaneous reversion to his mortal self ; fortunately , Mjolnir is small enough for the god to tuck it into his belt for times when he prefers to have both his hands free . There are times when Thor had both hands free but produced Mjolnir by reaching behind his shoulder ; the suggestion was that he placed Mjolnir in some kind of sheath or sling on his back , with handle pointing up so he could grasp it quickly . In some stories this limitation did not apply in Asgard , although this stipulation was removed in a storyline in which this enchantment is transferred to Stormbreaker , the hammer of Beta Ray Bill . After this , the Donald Blake persona disappeared for a time , and Thor assumed a civilian identity simply by changing into modern clothing , carrying Mjolnir concealed within a duffel bag . Thor eventually adopts the mortal persona of Jake Olson as penance for accidentally causing the original Olson 's death during a fight , and simply pounds a fist to effect a change ; during this time , Mjolnir would disappear when Thor became Olson , and reappear in Thor 's fist when returning to his true form . Mjolnir was originally capable of creating chronal displacement and therefore allowing time travel , although this enchantment was removed by the entity Immortus with the Thunder god 's consent to help the planet Phantus which was trapped in Limbo . However , Thor is still able to manipulate time with Mjolnir . When Ragnarok took place , Mjolnir was separated from Thor and fell through the dimensions , creating a tear in Hell that allowed Doctor Doom to escape ( Doom having been imprisoned there after his last encounter with the Fantastic Four ) . Although Doom and the FF attempt to claim the hammer , none of them are able to lift it , resulting in Donald Blake -- who had been returned to life when the spell negating his existence wore off with Asgard 's destruction -- claiming it himself . With Blake and Thor once again co-existing , the hammer resumes its original ' disguise ' of a walking - stick ( although Blake 's original limp healed , he sustained minor spine damage during a later confrontation ) . The hammer is later damaged in a fight with Bor , Thor 's grandfather . Doctor Strange is able to repair the hammer using the Odinforce possessed by Thor , but warns Thor that , should the hammer be damaged in such a manner again , the new link between them could result in Thor being killed himself . The hammer was also sliced in two by the Destroyer . Thor visits the forges in Pittsburgh to mend it . After Thor 's death in the fight against the Serpent , Loki is able to take Blake 's walking stick -- the only remaining trace of Thor after he was ' replaced ' by Tanarus -- and turn it back into Mjolnir in front of the Silver Surfer , the Surfer 's energy and Loki 's belief in his brother allowing the hammer to return to Thor and restore his memory in time to face the God - Devourer that was about to consume his soul in the afterlife . During the Original Sin storyline as Thor and the Avengers investigate Uatu The Watcher 's murder , Nick Fury whispers an undisclosed secret to Thor that causes him to lose the ability to pick up Mjolnir . The nature of Mjolnir 's enchantment also changes so that even Odin can not lift it . The hammer is subsequently picked up by an unknown female who inherits the power of Thor , as the inscription changes to `` if she be worthy '' . After the destruction and reconstruction of the multiverse , the Mjolnir of the Ultimate Thor falls to land on Asgard , but the entire area where it landed is subsequently taken into the possession of the Collector , who vows to kill his various prisoners unless Thor will tell him a means of bypassing the worthiness enchantment so that he can wield the hammer himself . Although he fights his way to claim the hammer , Odinson decides to leave it , instead working with Beta Ray Bill to channel the power of the hammer to return Asgard to its rightful place . When they have returned to Asgard , Odinson tells Bill that the secret Fury told him was ' Gorr was right ' , a reference to the God - Butcher who believed that gods were not needed as they only brought pain and suffering . The issue concludes with another individual , later to be revealed as Volstagg , going to claim the hammer of Ultimate Thor , identified by publicity as ' the War Thor ' . When Captain America is ' reprogrammed ' into an agent of Hydra by a sentient cosmic cube , he sets up a complex chain of events that allow him to take control of America , banishing Jane Foster and claiming Mjolnir for himself , his ability to wield the hammer ensuring that Odinson follows him despite Rogers 's actions , believing that his ability to wield the hammer shows that Rogers is right . In the final stand , after Odinson sides with the heroes over Hydra , Sam Wilson , Bucky , and Eric Lang are able to use a fragment of the Cosmic Cube to restore the original Steve Rogers to existence . This attack also reveals that Hydra had used their cosmic cube to change the nature of the worthiness enchantment to `` If he be strong , shall possess the power of Hydra '' , with the ' reset ' triggered by the cube 's restoration of Rogers also restoring the original enchantment so that the original Rogers can lift the hammer where his Hydra self can not .

These include Stormbreaker and the mace Thunderstrike , created for Beta Ray Bill and Eric Masterson respectively . Loki has been responsible for the creation of several imitations -- a version of Mjolnir , called Stormcaster , is presented to the mutant X-Men member Storm in an attempt to control her , which she later destroyed using Mjolnir . To spite Thor , another version is given to the mercenary Deadpool . Loki also allows Surtur to use the forge Mjolnir was created from to craft copies during Ragnarok . HYDRA created evil versions of Iron Man , Captain America , Hawkeye and Thor , the Thor imitator had a technological imitation of Mjolnir . Tony Stark and Reed Richards also create a technological imitation Mjolnir for use by Ragnarok , the clone of Thor , during the Civil War storyline . A tiny version was created from a sliver of Mjolnir for the use of Throg , leader of the Pet Avengers . Powers and abilities ( edit ) Mjolnir can be used both offensively and defensively . As one of the most formidable weapons known to man or god , it is described as impacting with sufficient force to `` level mountains , '' with primarily adamantium and vibranium proving too impervious . Other offensive capabilities include creating vortices and forcefields ( capable of containing an explosion that could potentially destroy a galaxy ) ; emitting mystical blasts of energy ; controlling electromagnetism ; molecular manipulation ; and generating the Geo - Blast ( an energy wave that taps a planet 's gravitational force ) , Anti-Force ( energy created to counter-act another force ) , the thermo - blast which can even challenge such beings as Ego the living planet , and God Blast ( a blast that taps into Thor 's life force ) . The hammer can travel through planets to return to Thor . It can even create antimatter particles and whirling it round can create winds powerful enough to lift the Taj Mahal . The hammer can also move extremely heavy objects , including the Washington Monument . There are also other several rarely used abilities . Mjolnir can track a person and mystical items ; absorb energy , such as draining the Asgardian powers of the Wrecking Crew into the Wrecker ; or detect illusions , as Thor once commanded the hammer to strike the demonic Mephisto , who was hiding amongst false images of himself . As a former religious relic , Mjolnir is lethal to the undead , causing creatures such as vampires to burst into flame and crumble to dust . Mjolnir also can project images , as Thor shows a glimpse of Asgard to fellow Avenger Iron Man . It is near - indestructible , surviving bullets , Anti-matter , and the Melter 's melting beam . The hammer has two properties relating to movement . When it is deliberately thrown by Thor , it will return to his hand despite any intervening obstacles or distance , even traveling through planets to return to Thor . When it has been dropped or set aside , it takes a fixed position , from which it can not be moved except by a ' worthy ' individual . The hammer has also drained energy from the radioactive supervillain called the Presence , who is forced to surrender before being killed . Mjolnir was able to absorb , contain , and direct the energy of a Null Bomb , which was powerful enough to destroy an entire galaxy . Mjolnir also causes a side effect when used against the hero Union Jack : when Thor erroneously attacks the hero with a blast of lightning and then cancels the offensive , Union Jack is accidentally endowed with the ability to generate electricity . The hammer has been used to both power an Atlantean warship and temporarily drain the forcefield of the villain Juggernaut . If someone swears on the hammer their spirit can be summoned up after death . As well as absorbing radiation , the hammer can repel it back . The hammer 's ability to transform its user also purges the user of any toxins or radiations in their systems ; however , this works against its current wielder , Jane Foster , as she is currently suffering from cancer , with the result that her transformations purge her of the radiation used in her chemotherapy while leaving the cancerous cells alone . But Mjolnir is also not indestructible , having been damaged several times : a force beam from the Asgardian Destroyer slices it in two ; the Molecule Man dispels the atomic bonds between the hammer 's molecules , vaporizing Mjolnir ; the hammer shatters after channeling an unmeasurable amount of energy at the Celestial Exitar ; Dark god Perrikus slices Mjolnir in half with a magical scythe ; and the hammer is shattered when it collides with the uru weapons of Loki 's Storm Giant followers , resulting in an atomic - scale explosion . Other versions ( edit ) During the Celestial Saga storyline , an earlier version of Mjolnir is revealed to exist and was apparently thrown to Midgard ( Earth ) by Thor 's sons , Modi and Magni , landing in the Rhine river where it transformed into the magical Rhinegold . A version of Mjolnir in the What If ? series was wielded by Rogue after she accidentally absorbed Thor 's powers , the remnants of Thor in her psyche helping her assume his role . In a future visited by the Hulk where Earth had been decimated by nuclear wars , Thor 's hammer was one of the many mementos of the age of heroes kept by the now - elderly Rick Jones ; the Maestro -- the Hulk 's twisted future self -- attempted to use the hammer against the Hulk during their second confrontation in Rick 's museum of hero memorabilia , but failed to lift it even with Thor 's death as he was naturally unworthy to do so . A later storyline set before the Hulk 's fight with the Maestro featured the elder Rick working with his younger self to defeat Thanatos - another alternate Rick - by using his own ability to summon and lift the hammer , explaining that he had been judged worthy to use it for things that young Rick had yet to do and Thanatos would never achieve . In a similar but alternate dystopian future , Mjolnir also rests in a super-hero artifact vault overseen by Rick Jones . Mjolnir can be seen as one of the many treasures in the one - shot ' The Last Heist ' that takes place in the `` Tellos '' universe . In the Ultimate Marvel imprint title The Ultimates and its sequel The Ultimates 2 , the Ultimate version of Thor wields a Mjolnir styled after a classical war hammer . Loki claims that Thor is not really a god , and that Mjolnir is not magical in origin , instead an advanced technological marvel designed by the European Union Super Soldier Program to mimic Thor 's powers , but this proves to be false . At the end of The Ultimates 2 Thor proves his divinity and reclaims his Asgardian powers to defeat Loki . In The Ultimates 3 : Who Killed The Scarlet Witch , Thor wields a hammer more closely resembling the mainstream Marvel Universe Mjolnir . In one scene where he is entering a secured building , the computer controlling access identifies first Thor , then Mjolnir ; this leads another character to question why the computer identified Mjolnir as a separate , sentient organism , but Thor does not give an explanation for this . He later displays a wall of weapons , including both hammers , which he states were gifts from his father forged by Ulik the Troll . However , in the prequel miniseries Ultimate Comics : Thor it is revealed that the original hammer is not the `` real '' Mjolnir but instead Dr. Braddock gives Thor tech - armor , and Thor suggests to turn the power supply into a hammer . Neither version of the hammer seems to be such that its use is restricted by the worthiness test . In Ultimate Comics : The Ultimates Thor puts his hammer inside the Room With No Doors with his son Modi , so that he may escape the destruction and genocide of the Asgardians . With Thor being the last Asgardian alive and his hammer is gone , he loses his divine powers and becomes mortal . Tony Stark kept Thor 's tech armor and hammer since Thor no longer felt he had use for it , and gives it to Thor to `` restore '' his powers because he feels the world `` needs a god of thunder '' . In other media ( edit ) See also : Thor ( Marvel Comics ) in other media Mjolnir is briefly seen by itself during a post-credits scene in Iron Man 2 ( 2010 ) at the bottom of a giant crater in New Mexico ; S.H.I.E.L.D. Agent Phil Coulson informs Nick Fury , `` We 've found it . '' It has since appeared in every Marvel Cinematic Universe film that features Thor including Thor ( 2011 ) , The Avengers ( 2012 ) , Thor : The Dark World ( 2013 ) , and Avengers : Age of Ultron ( 2015 ) . In Thor : Ragnarok ( 2017 ) , Hela destroys Mjolnir during a battle with Thor , but at the film 's conclusion Thor learns how to channel his power without using the hammer as a focus . In the ABC series Once Upon a Time , during the Season 3 episode `` Quite a Common Fairy '' , Thor 's hammer from the Marvel Cinematic Universe can be seen as a relic in Mr. Gold 's Pawn Shop .

Please improve this by adding secondary or tertiary sources . ( December 2015 ) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message ) Location of Michigan in the United States Gun laws in Michigan regulate the sale , possession , and use of firearms and ammunition in the state of Michigan in the United States . The State of Michigan has numerous laws concerning the ownership and the carrying of firearms . Generally , federal , state , and local law enforcement agencies , and agents thereof acting in an official capacity , are exempt from Michigan 's firearms regulations . The Constitution of Michigan of 1963 Article 1 , Section 6 reads , `` Every person has a right to keep and bear arms for the defense of himself and the state . '' A complete listing of Michigan 's firearms laws can be found in the publication `` Firearms Laws of Michigan . '' This publication is dated October 2013 and does not yet reflect recent changes to the laws .

A background check is required to obtain either of these licenses . `` Firearm '' defined ( edit ) `` The word ' firearm ' , except as otherwise specifically defined in statute , includes any weapon which will , is designed to , or may readily be converted to expel a projectile by action of an explosive . '' Michigan 's Attorney General has ruled that the definition of `` firearm '' includes a Taser . As of August 6 , 2012 , under essentially the same laws applicable to pistols in Michigan , private citizens may purchase and use Tasers ( a portable device that uses electro - muscular disruption technology ) . According to the State of Michigan 's Penal Code , a pistol is defined as `` a loaded or unloaded firearm that is 26 inches or less in length , or a loaded or unloaded firearm that by its construction and appearance conceals itself as a firearm '' ; A person who knowingly sells a pistol without complying with MCL 28.422 , is guilty of a misdemeanor , punishable by imprisonment for not more than 90 days , or a fine of not more than $100.00 , or both ; Michigan Penal Code pg. 386 Sec. 223 ( 1 ) . A person 18 years of age can legally purchase a pistol from a private seller , but first must obtain a purchasing permit which is good for 30 days . Purchasing firearms ( edit ) At the age of 18 or up , it is legal to buy a pistol with a purchase license from a private seller , at the age of 21 , it is legal to buy a firearm from a Federally licensed ( FFL ) dealer . No purchase license is required to purchase a long gun ( a firearm that is more than 26 inches long ) in Michigan . According to state law , a long gun may be purchased by anyone aged 18 or over who is not subject to restrictions based on criminal history , mental health history , or other disqualifying factor . A person must be at least 18 years old to purchase a long gun from a federal dealer or a private seller under both federal and Michigan law . Only Michigan residents may purchase pistols ( meaning firearms that are 26 inches or less in length ) in Michigan . Residents of any state may purchase long guns in Michigan and Michigan residents may purchase long guns in any state NON-CPL Holders Only that are buying a pistol from a private seller : An individual must apply to their local police or sheriff 's department for a purchase license before obtaining a pistol from a private seller . The police authority will check the applicant 's criminal history and for disqualifying factors such as whether the person has been ordered to undergo involuntary mental health treatment or is subject to a restraining order for domestic violence . As of December 18 , 2012 , no purchase permit is required for purchases from a Class 1 FFL Dealer . Purchases from a private party will require a purchase permit that can be acquired at any police or sheriff 's office statewide . A License to Purchase a Pistol is valid for 30 days from a private party . The buyer and seller must both sign the license and may each keep one copy for his or her records . An individual must return to the local police department within 10 days of purchasing the pistol to return the remaining two copies of the license . Some agencies require all unused license - to - purchase forms to be returned to them for record - keeping purposes . CPL Holders : A License to Purchase is not needed for anyone with a valid Michigan Concealed Pistol License even when buying from a private seller . Someone with a valid Michigan Concealed Pistol License must , however , complete a Pistol Sales Record when purchasing or acquiring a pistol ( http://www.michigan.gov/documents/ri-060_6454_7.pdf ) . Pawn shops , second hand dealers , and junk shops are not allowed to accept a pistol in Pawn , and must be FFL dealers to buy & sell . Concealed carry ( edit ) Michigan 's concealed carry law is `` shall issue , '' meaning that anyone 21 or older may obtain a license to carry a concealed pistol , so long as the person is not prohibited from owning a firearm , has not been found guilty of any felonies or certain misdemeanors within a time period of either 3 or 8 years dependent upon the charge , and has completed state - approved firearms training . Concealed Pistol License ( CPL ) holders are not required to obtain a license to purchase a pistol ; however , they must fulfill the registration requirement ( a sales record of the pistol acquisition ) . Under Michigan law , carrying a concealed pistol under a CPL constitutes implied permission for chemical testing for illegal drugs or alcohol ; and it is strictly forbidden for someone with a concealed pistol license to carry a pistol while under the influence of drugs or alcohol . Individuals licensed to carry a concealed pistol by Michigan or another state are prohibited from carrying a concealed pistol on the following premises : schools or school property , public or private day care center , public or private child caring agency , or public or private child placing agency , sports arena or stadium , a tavern where the primary source of income is the sale of alcoholic liquor by the glass consumed on the premises , any property or facility owned or operated by a church , synagogue , mosque , temple , or other place of worship , unless the presiding official allows concealed weapons , an entertainment facility that the individual knows or should know has a seating capacity of 2,500 or more , a hospital , a dormitory or classroom of a community college , college , or university , and casinos . `` Premises '' does not include the parking areas of the places listed above . Openly carried firearms by CPL holders in most of these locations is generally lawful , it remains unlawful for anyone without a CPL to carry openly in these places without written permission from an owner or agent of such locations . State requirements for obtaining a Concealed Pistol License in the State of Michigan 1 . Be at least 21 years of age 2 .

Not be under a court order of legal incapacity in this State or elsewhere 18 . Not be detrimental to the safety of his or her self or any other person - As issued by the Michigan State Police `` Concealed Pistol License Guide '' RI - 012 ( 02 / 2009 ) A pistol is subject to immediate seizure if the CPL permit holder is carrying a concealed pistol in a `` pistol - free '' area . Open carry with a CPL in state defined `` pistol - free '' areas is legal . Please refer to Michigan AG opinion No. 7097 and Michigan State Police Legal Update # 86 . An individual licensed to carry a concealed pistol who is stopped by a police officer ( traffic stop or otherwise ) while in possession of a concealed pistol shall immediately disclose to the police officer that he or she is carrying a concealed pistol either on their person or in their motor vehicle . On March 29 , 2001 , per Administrative Order 2001 - 1 of the Michigan Supreme Court : `` Weapons are not permitted in any courtroom , office , or other space used for official court business or by judicial employees unless the chief judge or other person designated by the chief judge has given prior approval consistent with the court 's written policy . '' There are few places where open carry is expressly prohibited by federal or state law . Discharging a firearm remains illegal in many cities and charter townships ( and such an ordinance is not preempted by state law ) . In addition , there are laws regulating how firearms may be transported in motor vehicles , which must be followed . By its express terms , the criminal prohibition in section 227 ( 2 ) does not apply to a person licensed to carry a pistol , provided that the pistol is carried in a manner or place consistent with any restriction upon that license . This conclusion is further supported by section 425c ( 2 ) of the Concealed Pistol Licensing Act , MCL 28.425 c ( 2 ) , which expressly authorizes a concealed pistol licensee to `` ( c ) arry a pistol in a vehicle , whether concealed or not concealed , anywhere in this state . '' Moreover , section 231a ( 1 ) ( a ) of the Penal Code , MCL 750.231 a ( 1 ) ( a ) , provides that the prohibition against carrying a concealed pistol in a motor vehicle does not apply to a person holding a valid license to carry a concealed pistol , provided that the pistol is carried in conformity with any restrictions appearing on the license . A person who is not licensed to carry a concealed pistol must keep the pistol either in a box that can be locked and safely stored in the trunk out of arms reach or if however the motor vehicle does not have a trunk , the pistol must then be safely placed in a box that is specifically designed to carry a firearm in - which can be locked in present view , or with its specified holster unloaded with the pistol itself in present view and clip separated having one or the other , or both locked in the glove compartment and or furthest in the back seat out of arms reach . No one is allowed to bring a firearm , concealed or openly , onto the property of a correctional facility , under a law prohibiting weapons that could help prisoners escape . If someone who is carrying openly , who is not on their own private property , puts a coat on over his firearm or otherwise hides it , even temporarily , and he or she does not have a concealed pistol license , he or she has committed the felony crime of carrying a concealed weapon without a license . The Michigan Attorney General has released an opinion stating that open carry is not considered reasonable suspicion of a crime , but there are no Michigan court decisions definitively ruling on this point . In addition , the Michigan Attorney General has released an opinion that `` a reserve police officer '' who carries a visible , holstered pistol is neither brandishing it nor disturbing the peace . Michigan formerly did not allow ownership of NFA firearms , though the Attorney General has issued an opinion , 7183 , that allows machine guns to be legally - transferred to Michigan residents who comply with federal laws . A 2011 opinion by Attorney General Bill Schuette allows the possession and transfer of suppressors in Michigan . Armor - piercing ammunition for handguns is illegal in Michigan . Michigan prohibits the possession of Tasers or stun guns by private citizens , unless they have a concealed pistol licence , and have taken the proper Taser safety course .

It is the fourth and final installment in The Hunger Games film series , and the second of two films based on the novel Mockingjay , the final book in The Hunger Games trilogy by Suzanne Collins . Produced by Nina Jacobson and Jon Kilik , and distributed by Lionsgate , the film features an ensemble cast that includes Jennifer Lawrence , Josh Hutcherson , Liam Hemsworth , Woody Harrelson , Elizabeth Banks , Julianne Moore , Philip Seymour Hoffman , and Donald Sutherland .

Principal photography on both parts of the film began on September 23 , 2013 in Atlanta , before moving to Paris for two weeks of back - to - back filming and officially concluding on June 20 , 2014 , in Berlin and at Babelsberg Studios , Germany . The story continues from The Hunger Games : Mockingjay -- Part 1 with Katniss Everdeen ( Jennifer Lawrence ) preparing to win the war against President Snow ( Donald Sutherland ) and the tyrannical Capitol . Together with Peeta , Gale , Finnick , and others she travels to the Capitol to kill Snow .

Despite her intention to kill President Snow , Katniss ' request is declined by Alma Coin , as she is too valuable to risk losing . However , Katniss volunteers to be sent to District 2 , the final district still controlled by the Capitol . District 13 's air force launches a full - scale bombing on a mountain nicknamed The Nut , which houses the Capitol 's main weaponry and air force , with few survivors . Although Katniss manages to convince the district to join the rebellion , she is shot by the one of the survivors who is then gunned down ; Katniss survives the gunshot wound due to her bulletproof Mockingjay costume . At the wedding of Finnick Odair and Annie Cresta , Katniss is convinced by Johanna Mason to sneak aboard a supply ship leaving for the Capitol . Unable to bring her back , Coin has her assigned to the `` Star Squad '' , which is led by Boggs and includes Gale , Finnick , Cressida , Messalla , Castor , Pollux , Leegs 1 and 2 , Mitchell , and Homes . They will follow in relative safety behind the actual invasion of the Capitol , providing video of their incursion for propaganda purposes . Boggs carries a holographic map ( the `` Holo '' ) to help them evade known booby - trapped `` pods '' which line the streets of the Capitol . Coin also sends Peeta to join the squad , even though he has not fully recovered from the Capitol 's conditioning . As they venture deeper into the Capitol , Boggs accidentally triggers a land mine and is fatally wounded , giving the Holo to Katniss before dying . The squad triggers another pod which releases a flood of lethal black tar . Peeta momentarily succumbs to his conditioning and attacks Katniss , killing Mitchell in the process . The group takes shelter in an abandoned building , where Jackson , the second - in - command , attempts to commandeer the Holo , until Katniss says that she is under secret orders from Coin to kill Snow . Katniss and most of the group escape just before a squad of Peacekeepers arrive and destroy the building , killing the Leegs twins after they had earlier stayed behind . The Capitol then broadcasts a message with Caesar Flickerman announcing Katniss 's death before Snow starts to make a speech against the rebellion , which is interrupted by Coin , who delivers an impassioned eulogy for her to rally the rebels . Castor decides to have them go through the sewers to avoid getting detected by the Capitol 's forces , having Pollux show the way down . The team manages to avoid further pods , but they are attacked by a horde of genetically engineered creatures called `` mutts '' when Snow finds out that they are still alive . Jackson , Castor , and Homes are killed as the squad flees through the sewers . Finnick fights off the mutts with his trident and pocket - knife to allow the rest of the team to escape , but they overwhelm him and Katniss is forced to set the Holo 's self - destruct , killing Finnick and the remaining mutts . While running from pursuing Peacekeepers , Messalla is melted by a pod . The surviving team members reach the surface and take refuge in a shop , where Tigris , a former Hunger Games stylist and rebel sympathizer , hides them in her basement . As rebel forces gain ground , Snow invites fleeing Capitol citizens into his mansion for protection . Katniss and Gale join the crowd , posing as refugees . As rebels arrive and attack , Peacekeepers capture Gale and herd Capitol children toward the palace gates . A hovercraft with Capitol markings flies overhead and drops small parcels into the crowd . The parcels explode , killing and injuring many people . A team of rebel medics attempt to help the injured , including Katniss 's sister Prim . As Katniss rushes forward , a second wave of bombs detonate , killing Prim and knocking Katniss unconscious . Upon recovering , Katniss learns the Capitol has been conquered and that Snow is captured . Katniss confronts Snow in his greenhouse . He explains to her that Coin ordered the airstrikes on the mansion using Capitol aircraft to make it appear that he would kill their children and to lead his soldiers to side with the rebels . When Katniss tells Snow she believes he is lying , he reminds her of their promise only to be honest with each other before the Quarter Quell ; she then realizes the attack matches a technique Gale had developed earlier ; bombing an area , then again to kill medics and survivors . When Gale can not assure to Katniss that the bombing method was not of his design , Katniss abandons him in shock . Coin declares herself as the interim President of Panem and invites the remaining Hunger Games victors to vote on a proposal to have another Hunger Games using the children of the Capitol as a symbolic gesture to satisfy the districts . Peeta , Beetee and Annie disagree with the idea , while Johanna and Enobaria agree . Katniss votes yes in exchange for the right to publicly execute Snow and to avenge her sister 's death , having realized that Snow was telling the truth about Coin in the process . Haymitch considers the situation and then swings the vote in favor . At the execution , Katniss kills Coin instead of Snow , thus avenging Prim . A riot ensues and , after Peeta stops her from committing suicide via pills , Katniss is taken into custody while witnessing Snow get beaten to death by charging rebels . Once it is all over , Katniss receives a letter from Plutarch Heavensbee on her actions and is assured that she will eventually be pardoned by the newly appointed President of Panem for her crime and will be able to return to District 12 once the dissension quiets . At District 12 she is joined by Peeta , who has recovered from his condition . Commander Paylor is elected the new President of Panem , and Katniss , Peeta , and Haymitch bond over their shared trauma . In the epilogue years later , Katniss and Peeta play with their two children , and Katniss realizes she made the right choice when she tells her infant that `` there are much worse games to play .

'' On December 6 , 2012 , Danny Strong announced that he would write the third and fourth films . On February 15 , 2013 , Lionsgate approved the script for Part 1 and gave Strong permission to write that of Part 2 . In August , Hemsworth confirmed that shooting of the film would begin the following month . The film 's production began on September 16 , 2013 , in Boston , Atlanta , and Los Angeles . Studio Babelsberg co-produced and oversaw production services for the film . On November 13 , 2013 , producer Nina Jacobson revealed that Peter Craig was also hired to write the adaptations .

Casting ( edit ) See also : The Hunger Games : Mockingjay -- Part 1 § Casting Philip Seymour Hoffman plays Plutarch Heavensbee in his final appearance before his death in 2014 . All the principal cast such as Jennifer Lawrence as Katniss , Josh Hutcherson as Peeta , Liam Hemsworth as Gale , Woody Harrelson as Haymitch , Donald Sutherland as President Snow , Elizabeth Banks as Effie , Willow Shields as Prim , Paula Malcomson as Mrs Everdeen and Stanley Tucci as Caesar , return to reprise their roles . Julianne Moore also returned to reprise her role as President Alma Coin , along with Philip Seymour Hoffman , who died during the filming in February 2014 , as Plutarch . He had nearly completed his scenes , and his two remaining scenes were rewritten to compensate for his absence . Regarding Hoffman 's scenes , Lawrence commented that , `` He had two substantial scenes left and the rest were appearances in other scenes . We had no intention of trying to fake a performance , so we rewrote those scenes to give to other actors ... The rest , we just did n't have him appear in those scenes . There 's no digital manipulation or CG fabrication of any kind . '' One of the changed scenes saw the character of Plutarch sending Katniss a letter in prison , read by Haymitch , rather than coming himself to talk to her after her arrest for assassinating President Coin , explained as him being unable to see her for political reasons after her actions , which he nonetheless supports . On August 26 , 2013 , it was announced that actress Stef Dawson had joined the cast to portray Annie Cresta . Lionsgate announced on September 13 , 2013 , that Julianne Moore joined the cast to play President Alma Coin . The same month , Lily Rabe , Patina Miller , Mahershala Ali , Wes Chatham , and Elden Henson were announced to have joined the cast. to reprise their roles of Commander Lyme , Commander Paylor , Boggs , Castor , and Pollux , respectively . During this time , there was also a casting call for extras . Rabe subsequently had to leave the film due to a scheduling conflict with the 2014 Shakespeare in the Park production of Much Ado About Nothing . On April 4 , 2014 , it was announced that she would be replaced by Gwendoline Christie to portray Lyme . Filming ( edit ) Filming scenes for District 2 at Berlin Tempelhof Airport in May 2014 . Principal photography began on September 23 , 2013 , in Atlanta , and concluded on June 20 , 2014 , in Berlin , Germany ; the two parts were filmed back - to - back . In October 2013 , filming took place in Rockmart , Georgia . After the cast and crew took a break to promote The Hunger Games : Catching Fire , filming resumed on December 2 , 2013 . On December 14 , 2013 , shooting was held at the Marriott Marquis in Atlanta . On December 18 , shooting began at Caldwell Tanks in Newnan , Georgia . Philip Seymour Hoffman died on February 2 , 2014 . He had completed filming his scenes for Part 1 and had a week left of shooting for Part 2 ; Lionsgate thereafter released a statement affirming that since the majority of Hoffman 's scenes had been completed , the release date for Part 2 would not be affected . It was initially announced that Hoffman would be digitally recreated for a major scene involving his character that had not been shot , but Francis Lawrence later stated that he had rewritten Hoffman 's two remaining scenes to compensate for the actor 's absence , and there would be `` no digital manipulation or CG fabrication of any kind '' . In a scene near the end of the film which was to have shown Plutarch speaking with Katniss in detention , Woody Harrelson 's character instead reads her a letter from him . Filming in Atlanta completed in mid-April 2014 , and production moved to Europe . On May 9 , filming took place in Noisy le Grand , Paris . It is the same location where Brazil ( 1985 ) was filmed 30 years earlier . Toward the end of May , the cast and crew shot scenes at several locations in Berlin and Brandenburg , Germany .

The teaser was also played at screenings of Lionsgate 's The Divergent Series : Insurgent . Scott Mendelson of Forbes noted the similarity of the teaser with that of The Dark Knight 's ( 2008 ) teaser , which also features just an animated logo of the film and select dialogue . On June 1 , a new teaser poster for the film , featuring a vandalised statue of President Snow , was revealed on the viral site TheCapitol.PN . On June 9 , the teaser trailer for the film was released . A series of different posters , featuring the main cast with red Mockingjays painted on their faces , was released in July by Lionsgate . Later in July 2015 , Lionsgate released a motion and teaser poster and propaganda video , followed by the film 's official trailer . In August , a poster was released stating `` 100 days until The Hunger Games : Mockingjay - Part 2 '' . However , it was taken down shortly thereafter , as the text on the poster appeared to resemble a swear word due to layout . However , another `` bold and beautiful '' poster was released depicting Katniss standing on the shoulder of a fallen President Snow statue . In October 2015 , the first official clip and the final trailer were released , followed by the film 's theatrical posters . In October , fan sites revealed the first two TV spots . `` The Mockingjay App '' was revealed on October 20 . In certain parts of Israel , the poster which depicted the image of Katniss ( Lawrence ) aiming her bow and arrow was removed over concerns her image would offend ultra-conservative Jewish audiences . Instead , a fiery mockingjay in the poster 's background replaced Lawrence in marketing materials in multiple locations in Israel including Bnei Brak and West Jerusalem . Lionsgate did not comment on the Israeli marketing campaign . In Jerusalem , public posters with the image of a female are often torn down , while Bnei Brak does not allow posters with female images . Release ( edit ) The Hunger Games : Mockingjay -- Part 2 premiered in Los Angeles , at the L.A. Live , complex on November 16 , and in New York City on November 18 . It premiered internationally in Berlin on November 4 , in London November 5 , in Paris November 9 , in Madrid November 10 , and in Beijing November 12 . Due to the terrorist attacks in Paris on November 13 , Lionsgate scaled down its L.A. premiere , cancelling press interviews on the red carpet ( which was scheduled to last two hours ) . The stars mostly greeted fans and took a few photos before heading into the screening in Downtown Los Angeles . Mockingjay -- Part 2 was released on November 20 , 2015 in the United States and Canada . The film was originally scheduled to be released in 2D , Digital 3D , RealD 3D , and IMAX 3D , which would have made it the only film of the series to be globally released in 3D formats ; the previous film was released in 3D in China . It is the third film in the franchise to be released in IMAX , following the first and the second film with the exception of the third film . However , the decision to release the film in 3D and IMAX 3D in North America was revoked . Director Francis Lawrence discussed the decision , stating , `` I love the 3D format and I know that Mockingjay Part 2 will play perfectly in 3D and 2D internationally -- but I 'm pleased that we 're maintaining the 2D only ( and IMAX ) formats domestically . It is the best of all worlds ! '' . It was nevertheless released in 3D formats in overseas markets , including China . The film was also released in the Dolby Vision format in Dolby Cinemas , which is the first ever for Lionsgate . Internationally , it was released day - and - date across 87 countries , starting from November 18 , in certain markets like Belgium , Brazil , France and the Netherlands and on November 19 in Australia , Germany , Russia , Italy , and the United Kingdom , followed by China , Mexico , Japan , the United States , Canada , and 19 other markets , on November 20 , as part of the biggest movie rollout ever by Lionsgate . The only big territories where the film did not open on the same weekend are Spain , Greece and India , which released the movie on November 27 . Home media ( edit ) The Hunger Games : Mockingjay -- Part 2 was released on Digital HD on March 8 , 2016 , and was followed by a Blu - ray and DVD release on March 22 , 2016 . It topped the home video sales chart for the week ending on March 27 , 2016 . The entire Hunger Games series was released on 4K UHD Blu - Ray on November 8 2016 Reception ( edit ) Box Office ( edit ) The Hunger Games : Mockingjay -- Part 2 fell short of expectations at the box office . It grossed a total of $281.7 million in the USA & Canada and $371.7 million in other countries for a worldwide total of $653.4 million . Its worldwide opening of $247.2 million is the twenty - seventh - biggest of all time . It is the lowest - grossing film in The Hunger Games film series , and the ninth highest - grossing film of 2015 , Lionsgate 's co-chairman Rob Friedman blamed the impact of the November 2015 Paris attacks as well as Star Wars : Episode VII -- The Force Awakens for the film 's underwhelming performance in certain European countries and in the U.S. and Canada , further blaming the latter for cutting the film 's North American gross by as much as $50 -- 100 million . However , according to Deadline.com , this is untrue given how Mockingjay -- Part 2 had the lowest opening among the series and was already grossing behind Mockingjay -- Part 1 by $32.7 million or 12 % before The Force Awakens even opened . Thus , the November attacks in Paris did not noticeably affect the European release of Mockingjay -- Part 2 . And notably in China ( where the film grossed a dismal $21.5 million ) , the studio blamed The Martian and Spectre for the film 's underperformance there after facing competition with the two films along with Taiwanese film Our Times . Deadline.com calculated the net profit of the film to be $134.3 million , when factoring together all expenses and revenues for the film . North America ( edit ) In North America , according to pre-release trackings , The Hunger Games : Mockingjay -- Part 2 was initially projected to earn around $120 -- 125 million in its opening weekend . However , estimates decreased to a mid - $110 million range once the film approached its opening day . It made $16 million from its Thursday night preview which is the lowest among the franchise but the third - biggest of 2015 , and $45.5 million on its opening day . In its opening weekend , the film grossed $102.7 million , finishing first at the box office but fell below expectations and becoming the lowest opening among the franchise . Sources attributed to the franchise - low opening to heavy winter weather hitting areas such as South Dakota , Michigan , and Chicago as well as Lionsgate 's decision to split the last novel into two separate pictures . Still , it is the fourth film in the Hunger Games film series to open with more than $100 million , and is 2015 's sixth - biggest opening , behind Star Wars : The Force Awakens , Jurassic World , Avengers : Age of Ultron , Furious 7 , and Minions . IMAX comprised $8.5 million of the opening gross from 384 IMAX locations . The low opening of the film led to the decline of Lionsgate stock the day after its opening weekend . The film retained the top spot at the box office in the second weekend , declining 49.3 % and grossing $52 million . It topped the box office for the third consecutive weekend despite facing competition with the animated movie The Good Dinosaur and the horror comedy Krampus in its second and third weekend , respectively . In total , it held the No. 1 spot in the North American box office for four consecutive weekends ( even after facing competition with In the Heart of the Sea in its fourth weekend ) , becoming the first film since Furious 7 to top the box office for four straight weekends and the second film in The Hunger Games film series after 2012 's The Hunger Games to achieve this feat . Mockingjay -- Part 2 grossed a total of $281 million , 17 % less than Mockingjay -- Part 1 and when compared with its two other prequels is the lowest . Outside North America ( edit ) Outside North America , the film was released in a total of 92 countries . It was projected by many box office analysts to surpass the openings of all the previous Hunger Games film , considering it was the last installment , and that its release date was the same in 87 markets , including China ( the latter being a rare phenomenon ) . It was projected to gross around $165 -- 185 million . However , it ended up earning $144.5 million across 32,500 screens from 87 markets opening at No. 1 in 81 of them . The underperformance was attributed to the 2015 Paris terror attacks which affected many parts of Europe and the rising value of the U.S. dollar . Earning $62 million ( down 57 % ) and $30.05 million ( down 49 % ) in its second and third weekend , respectively , it topped the international box office for four consecutive weekends . The United Kingdom posted the highest opening with $17.1 million followed by China with $15.8 million , Germany ( $15 million ) , Mexico ( $8.9 million ) France ( $7.1 million ) , Australia ( $6.8 million ) , Brazil ( $6.8 million ) , Russia ( $6.7 million ) , Venezuela ( $5.6 million ) , and Italy ( $4.3 million ) . In China , it opened at No. 1 despite facing competition with Taiwanese film Our Times , and the continued run of Spectre and having an underperforming opening . It fell precipitously by 88.6 % in its second weekend , which is the worst second - weekend drop for any major Hollywood release in China of 2015 . Notably in France , the opening was above expectations considering cinemagoers being affected by the Paris terror attacks and the heightened state of alert in Belgium at that time . It topped the United Kingdom and Ireland box office for four consecutive weekends which is a rare achievement and thereby becoming the first film since Les Misérables in 2013 to have four straight weeks of win at the UK box office . It is the highest - grossing film of 2015 in Colombia with $36 million . In terms of total earnings its largest markets are Germany ( $43.7 million ) and the United Kingdom ( $43.1 million ) , and Colombia ( $36 million ) . Critical response ( edit ) The Hunger Games : Mockingjay -- Part 2 received generally positive reviews from critics , with praise for action sequences and performances but criticism for splitting the book into two separate adaptations . On review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes , the film has an approval rating of 70 % , based on 235 reviews , with an average rating of 6.5 / 10 . The site 's critical consensus reads , `` With the unflinchingly grim Mockingjay Part 2 , The Hunger Games comes to an exciting , poignant , and overall satisfying conclusion . '' On Metacritic , the film has a weighted average score of 65 out of 100 , based on 44 critics , indicating `` generally favorable reviews '' . Audiences polled by CinemaScore gave the film an average grade of `` A -- '' on an A+ to F scale . Manohla Dargis from The New York Times praised Lawrence 's character saying , `` Katniss is the right heroine for these neo-feminist times . '' Stephen Whitty from New York Daily News said , `` ' Remember that line from the first ' Hunger Games ' film : `` May the odds be ever in your favor '' ? Yeah , well , that luck has run out ' . '' Lawrence , Hutcherson , and Sutherland received praise for their performances . The supporting cast 's performances , particularly Harrelson , Claflin , and Malone 's , were also highly praised , but critics felt their appearances were too brief . Several critics also commented on the film 's dark tone , even by comparison to its predecessors . Leah Greenblatt of Entertainment Weekly remarked , `` With its political power struggles and prodigious body count , all rendered in a thousand shades of wintry greige , the movie feels less like teen entertainment than a sort of Hunger Games of Thrones . '' Robbie Collin awarded the film four out of five stars and called the film `` scorchingly tense '' . In his review for The Telegraph , he praised the film for `` being intense '' and lauded the performances of Lawrence and Hoffman . '' Benjamin Lee , writing for The Guardian , felt that `` the decision to split the final chapter of the dystopian saga into two chapters looms large over a frustratingly - paced mixture of thrilling action and surprisingly dark drama . '' He praised Jennifer Lawrence 's acting and Francis Lawrence 's direction and commented , `` The decision to turn a 390 - page book into over four hours ' worth of screen time ( and a bonus payday ) has resulted in a patchy end to a franchise that started so promisingly . '' Tom Huddleston of Time Out gave the film four out of five stars . He praised the ending of the film as `` genuinely powerful '' , and commented that `` this might be the most downbeat blockbuster in memory , a film that starts out pitiless and goes downhill from there , save for a fleeting glimmer of hope in the final moments . It 's a bold statement about the unforgiving nature of war , unashamedly political in its motives and quietly devastating in its emotional effect .

It was created on December 23 , 1913 , with the enactment of the Federal Reserve Act , after a series of financial panics ( particularly the panic of 1907 ) led to the desire for central control of the monetary system in order to alleviate financial crises . Over the years , events such as the Great Depression in the 1930s and the Great Recession during the 2000s have led to the expansion of the roles and responsibilities of the Federal Reserve System . The U.S. Congress established three key objectives for monetary policy in the Federal Reserve Act : maximizing employment , stabilizing prices , and moderating long - term interest rates . The first two objectives are sometimes referred to as the Federal Reserve 's dual mandate . Its duties have expanded over the years , and currently also include supervising and regulating banks , maintaining the stability of the financial system , and providing financial services to depository institutions , the U.S. government , and foreign official institutions . The Fed conducts research into the economy and provides numerous publications , such as the Beige Book and the FRED database . The Federal Reserve System is composed of several layers . It is governed by the presidentially appointed Board of Governors or Federal Reserve Board ( FRB ) . Twelve regional Federal Reserve Banks , located in cities throughout the nation , regulate and oversee privately owned commercial banks . Nationally chartered commercial banks are required to hold stock in , and can elect some of the board members of , the Federal Reserve Bank of their region . The Federal Open Market Committee ( FOMC ) sets monetary policy . It consists of all seven members of the Board of Governors and the twelve regional Federal Reserve Bank presidents , though only five bank presidents vote at a time ( the president of the New York Fed and four others who rotate through one - year voting terms ) . There are also various advisory councils . Thus , the Federal Reserve System has both public and private components . It has a structure unique among central banks , and is also unusual in that the United States Department of the Treasury , an entity outside of the central bank , prints the currency used . The federal government sets the salaries of the board 's seven governors . The federal government receives all the system 's annual profits , after a statutory dividend of 6 % on member banks ' capital investment is paid , and an account surplus is maintained . In 2015 , the Federal Reserve earned net income of $100.2 billion and transferred $97.7 billion to the U.S. Treasury . Although an instrument of the US Government , the Federal Reserve System considers itself `` an independent central bank because its monetary policy decisions do not have to be approved by the President or anyone else in the executive or legislative branches of government , it does not receive funding appropriated by the Congress , and the terms of the members of the Board of Governors span multiple presidential and congressional terms .

Other purposes are stated in the Federal Reserve Act , such as `` to furnish an elastic currency , to afford means of rediscounting commercial paper , to establish a more effective supervision of banking in the United States , and for other purposes '' . Before the founding of the Federal Reserve System , the United States underwent several financial crises . A particularly severe crisis in 1907 led Congress to enact the Federal Reserve Act in 1913 . Today the Federal Reserve System has responsibilities in addition to ensuring the stability of the financial system . Current functions of the Federal Reserve System include : To address the problem of banking panics To serve as the central bank for the United States To strike a balance between private interests of banks and the centralized responsibility of government To supervise and regulate banking institutions To protect the credit rights of consumers To manage the nation 's money supply through monetary policy to achieve the sometimes - conflicting goals of maximum employment stable prices , including prevention of either inflation or deflation moderate long - term interest rates To maintain the stability of the financial system and contain systemic risk in financial markets To provide financial services to depository institutions , the U.S. government , and foreign official institutions , including playing a major role in operating the nation 's payments system To facilitate the exchange of payments among regions To respond to local liquidity needs To strengthen U.S. standing in the world economy Addressing the problem of Bank panics ( edit ) Further information : Bank run and Fractional - reserve banking Banking institutions in the United States are required to hold reserves -- amounts of currency and deposits in other banks -- equal to only a fraction of the amount of the bank 's deposit liabilities owed to customers . This practice is called fractional - reserve banking . As a result , banks usually invest the majority of the funds received from depositors . On rare occasions , too many of the bank 's customers will withdraw their savings and the bank will need help from another institution to continue operating ; this is called a bank run . Bank runs can lead to a multitude of social and economic problems . The Federal Reserve System was designed as an attempt to prevent or minimize the occurrence of bank runs , and possibly act as a lender of last resort when a bank run does occur . Many economists , following Milton Friedman , believe that the Federal Reserve inappropriately refused to lend money to small banks during the bank runs of 1929 . Check clearing System ( edit ) Because some banks refused to clear checks from certain other banks during times of economic uncertainty , a check - clearing system was created in the Federal Reserve System . It is briefly described in The Federal Reserve System -- Purposes and Functions as follows : By creating the Federal Reserve System , Congress intended to eliminate the severe financial crises that had periodically swept the nation , especially the sort of financial panic that occurred in 1907 . During that episode , payments were disrupted throughout the country because many banks and clearinghouses refused to clear checks drawn on certain other banks , a practice that contributed to the failure of otherwise solvent banks . To address these problems , Congress gave the Federal Reserve System the authority to establish a nationwide check - clearing system . The System , then , was to provide not only an elastic currency -- that is , a currency that would expand or shrink in amount as economic conditions warranted -- but also an efficient and equitable check - collection system . Lender of last resort ( edit ) In the United States , the Federal Reserve serves as the lender of last resort to those institutions that can not obtain credit elsewhere and the collapse of which would have serious implications for the economy . It took over this role from the private sector `` clearing houses '' which operated during the Free Banking Era ; whether public or private , the availability of liquidity was intended to prevent bank runs . Fluctuations ( edit ) Through its discount window and credit operations , Reserve Banks provide liquidity to banks to meet short - term needs stemming from seasonal fluctuations in deposits or unexpected withdrawals . Longer term liquidity may also be provided in exceptional circumstances . The rate the Fed charges banks for these loans is called the discount rate ( officially the primary credit rate ) . By making these loans , the Fed serves as a buffer against unexpected day - to - day fluctuations in reserve demand and supply . This contributes to the effective functioning of the banking system , alleviates pressure in the reserves market and reduces the extent of unexpected movements in the interest rates . For example , on September 16 , 2008 , the Federal Reserve Board authorized an $85 billion loan to stave off the bankruptcy of international insurance giant American International Group ( AIG ) . Central Bank ( edit ) Further information : Central bank Obverse of a Federal Reserve $1 note issued in 2009 In its role as the central bank of the United States , the Fed serves as a banker 's bank and as the government 's bank . As the banker 's bank , it helps to assure the safety and efficiency of the payments system . As the government 's bank or fiscal agent , the Fed processes a variety of financial transactions involving trillions of dollars . Just as an individual might keep an account at a bank , the U.S. Treasury keeps a checking account with the Federal Reserve , through which incoming federal tax deposits and outgoing government payments are handled . As part of this service relationship , the Fed sells and redeems U.S. government securities such as savings bonds and Treasury bills , notes and bonds . It also issues the nation 's coin and paper currency . The U.S. Treasury , through its Bureau of the Mint and Bureau of Engraving and Printing , actually produces the nation 's cash supply and , in effect , sells the paper currency to the Federal Reserve Banks at manufacturing cost , and the coins at face value . The Federal Reserve Banks then distribute it to other financial institutions in various ways . During the Fiscal Year 2013 , the Bureau of Engraving and Printing delivered 6.6 billion notes at an average cost of 5.0 cents per note . Federal funds ( edit ) Main article : Federal funds Federal funds are the reserve balances ( also called Federal Reserve Deposits ) that private banks keep at their local Federal Reserve Bank . These balances are the namesake reserves of the Federal Reserve System . The purpose of keeping funds at a Federal Reserve Bank is to have a mechanism for private banks to lend funds to one another . This market for funds plays an important role in the Federal Reserve System as it is what inspired the name of the system and it is what is used as the basis for monetary policy . Monetary policy is put into effect partly by influencing how much interest the private banks charge each other for the lending of these funds . Federal reserve accounts contain federal reserve credit , which can be converted into federal reserve notes . Private banks maintain their bank reserves in federal reserve accounts . Bank regulation ( edit ) The Federal Reserve regulates private banks . The system was designed out of a compromise between the competing philosophies of privatization and government regulation . In 2006 Donald L. Kohn , vice chairman of the Board of Governors , summarized the history of this compromise : Agrarian and progressive interests , led by William Jennings Bryan , favored a central bank under public , rather than banker , control . But the vast majority of the nation 's bankers , concerned about government intervention in the banking business , opposed a central bank structure directed by political appointees . The legislation that Congress ultimately adopted in 1913 reflected a hard - fought battle to balance these two competing views and created the hybrid public - private , centralized - decentralized structure that we have today . The balance between private interests and government can also be seen in the structure of the system . Private banks elect members of the board of directors at their regional Federal Reserve Bank while the members of the Board of Governors are selected by the President of the United States and confirmed by the Senate . Government regulation and supervision ( edit ) Ben Bernanke ( lower - right ) , Former Chairman of the Federal Reserve Board of Governors , at a House Financial Services Committee hearing on February 10 , 2009 . Members of the Board frequently testify before congressional committees such as this one . The Senate equivalent of the House Financial Services Committee is the Senate Committee on Banking , Housing , and Urban Affairs . The Federal Banking Agency Audit Act , enacted in 1978 as Public Law 95 - 320 and 31 U.S.C. section 714 establish that the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System and the Federal Reserve banks may be audited by the Government Accountability Office ( GAO ) . The GAO has authority to audit check - processing , currency storage and shipments , and some regulatory and bank examination functions , however , there are restrictions to what the GAO may audit . Under the Federal Banking Agency Audit Act , 31 U.S.C. section 714 ( b ) , audits of the Federal Reserve Board and Federal Reserve banks do not include ( 1 ) transactions for or with a foreign central bank or government or non-private international financing organization ; ( 2 ) deliberations , decisions , or actions on monetary policy matters ; ( 3 ) transactions made under the direction of the Federal Open Market Committee ; or ( 4 ) a part of a discussion or communication among or between members of the Board of Governors and officers and employees of the Federal Reserve System related to items ( 1 ) , ( 2 ) , or ( 3 ) . See Federal Reserve System Audits : Restrictions on GAO 's Access ( GAO / T - GGD - 94 - 44 ) , statement of Charles A. Bowsher . The Board of Governors in the Federal Reserve System has a number of supervisory and regulatory responsibilities in the U.S. banking system , but not complete responsibility . A general description of the types of regulation and supervision involved in the U.S. banking system is given by the Federal Reserve : The Board also plays a major role in the supervision and regulation of the U.S. banking system . It has supervisory responsibilities for state - chartered banks that are members of the Federal Reserve System , bank holding companies ( companies that control banks ) , the foreign activities of member banks , the U.S. activities of foreign banks , and Edge Act and `` agreement corporations '' ( limited - purpose institutions that engage in a foreign banking business ) . The Board and , under delegated authority , the Federal Reserve Banks , supervise approximately 900 state member banks and 5,000 bank holding companies . Other federal agencies also serve as the primary federal supervisors of commercial banks ; the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency supervises national banks , and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation supervises state banks that are not members of the Federal Reserve System . Some regulations issued by the Board apply to the entire banking industry , whereas others apply only to member banks , that is , state banks that have chosen to join the Federal Reserve System and national banks , which by law must be members of the System . The Board also issues regulations to carry out major federal laws governing consumer credit protection , such as the Truth in Lending , Equal Credit Opportunity , and Home Mortgage Disclosure Acts . Many of these consumer protection regulations apply to various lenders outside the banking industry as well as to banks . Members of the Board of Governors are in continual contact with other policy makers in government . They frequently testify before congressional committees on the economy , monetary policy , banking supervision and regulation , consumer credit protection , financial markets , and other matters . The Board has regular contact with members of the President 's Council of Economic Advisers and other key economic officials . The Chair also meets from time to time with the President of the United States and has regular meetings with the Secretary of the Treasury . The Chair has formal responsibilities in the international arena as well . Regulatory and oversight responsibilities ( edit ) The board of directors of each Federal Reserve Bank District also has regulatory and supervisory responsibilities . If the board of directors of a district bank has judged that a member bank is performing or behaving poorly , it will report this to the Board of Governors . This policy is described in United States Code : Each Federal reserve bank shall keep itself informed of the general character and amount of the loans and investments of its member banks with a view to ascertaining whether undue use is being made of bank credit for the speculative carrying of or trading in securities , real estate , or commodities , or for any other purpose inconsistent with the maintenance of sound credit conditions ; and , in determining whether to grant or refuse advances , rediscounts , or other credit accommodations , the Federal reserve bank shall give consideration to such information . The chairman of the Federal reserve bank shall report to the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System any such undue use of bank credit by any member bank , together with his recommendation . Whenever , in the judgment of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System , any member bank is making such undue use of bank credit , the Board may , in its discretion , after reasonable notice and an opportunity for a hearing , suspend such bank from the use of the credit facilities of the Federal Reserve System and may terminate such suspension or may renew it from time to time . National payments System ( edit ) The Federal Reserve plays an important role in the U.S. payments system . The twelve Federal Reserve Banks provide banking services to depository institutions and to the federal government . For depository institutions , they maintain accounts and provide various payment services , including collecting checks , electronically transferring funds , and distributing and receiving currency and coin . For the federal government , the Reserve Banks act as fiscal agents , paying Treasury checks ; processing electronic payments ; and issuing , transferring , and redeeming U.S. government securities . In the Depository Institutions Deregulation and Monetary Control Act of 1980 , Congress reaffirmed that the Federal Reserve should promote an efficient nationwide payments system . The act subjects all depository institutions , not just member commercial banks , to reserve requirements and grants them equal access to Reserve Bank payment services . The Federal Reserve plays a role in the nation 's retail and wholesale payments systems by providing financial services to depository institutions . Retail payments are generally for relatively small - dollar amounts and often involve a depository institution 's retail clients -- individuals and smaller businesses . The Reserve Banks ' retail services include distributing currency and coin , collecting checks , and electronically transferring funds through the automated clearinghouse system . By contrast , wholesale payments are generally for large - dollar amounts and often involve a depository institution 's large corporate customers or counterparties , including other financial institutions . The Reserve Banks ' wholesale services include electronically transferring funds through the Fedwire Funds Service and transferring securities issued by the U.S. government , its agencies , and certain other entities through the Fedwire Securities Service . Structure ( edit ) Main article : Structure of the Federal Reserve System Organization of the Federal Reserve System The Federal Reserve System has a `` unique structure that is both public and private '' and is described as `` independent within the government '' rather than `` independent of government '' . The System does not require public funding , and derives its authority and purpose from the Federal Reserve Act , which was passed by Congress in 1913 and is subject to Congressional modification or repeal . The four main components of the Federal Reserve System are ( 1 ) the Board of Governors , ( 2 ) the Federal Open Market Committee , ( 3 ) the twelve regional Federal Reserve Banks , and ( 4 ) the member banks throughout the country .

Williams Board of Governors ( edit ) Main article : Federal Reserve Board of Governors The seven - member Board of Governors is a federal agency . It is charged with the overseeing of the 12 District Reserve Banks and setting national monetary policy . It also supervises and regulates the U.S. banking system in general . Governors are appointed by the President of the United States and confirmed by the Senate for staggered 14 - year terms . One term begins every two years , on February 1 of even - numbered years , and members serving a full term can not be renominated for a second term . `` ( U ) pon the expiration of their terms of office , members of the Board shall continue to serve until their successors are appointed and have qualified . '' The law provides for the removal of a member of the board by the President `` for cause '' . The board is required to make an annual report of operations to the Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives . The Chair and Vice Chair of the Board of Governors are appointed by the President from among the sitting Governors . They both serve a four - year term and they can be renominated as many times as the President chooses , until their terms on the Board of Governors expire . According to US Code 12 - 241 the Chair and Vice Chair may be chosen either from among the sitting Governors or outsiders , the law does not specify a preferred choice . List of members of the Board of Governors ( edit ) Board of Governors in 2018 . As of 2018 four of the seven seats are vacant The current members of the Board of Governors are as follows : Photo Governor Political Party Entered office Term expires Jerome Powell ( Chairman ) Republican February 5 , 2018 ( as Chairman ) May 25 , 2012 ( as Governor ) June 16 , 2014 ( new term ) February 5 , 2022 ( as Chairman ) January 31 , 2028 ( as Governor ) Vacant ( Vice Chairman ) N / A ( as Vice Chairman ) January 31 , 2022 ( as Governor ) Randal Quarles ( Vice Chairman for Supervision ) Republican October 13 , 2017 ( as Vice Chairman for Supervision ) October 13 , 2017 October 13 , 2021 ( as Vice Chairman for Supervision ) January 31 , 2032 ( as Governor ) Lael Brainard Democratic June 16 , 2014 January 31 , 2026 Vacant January 31 , 2020 Vacant January 31 , 2024 Vacant January 31 , 2030 Indicates the date of term expiration for the individual nominated to this vacant position . Nominations , confirmations and resignations ( edit ) In late December 2011 , President Barack Obama nominated Jeremy C. Stein , a Harvard University finance professor and a Democrat , and Jerome Powell , formerly of Dillon Read , Bankers Trust and The Carlyle Group and a Republican . Both candidates also have Treasury Department experience in the Obama and George H.W. Bush administrations respectively . `` Obama administration officials ( had ) regrouped to identify Fed candidates after Peter Diamond , a Nobel Prize - winning economist , withdrew his nomination to the board in June ( 2011 ) in the face of Republican opposition . Richard Clarida , a potential nominee who was a Treasury official under George W. Bush , pulled out of consideration in August ( 2011 ) '' , one account of the December nominations noted . The two other Obama nominees in 2011 , Yellen and Raskin , were confirmed in September . One of the vacancies was created in 2011 with the resignation of Kevin Warsh , who took office in 2006 to fill the unexpired term ending January 31 , 2018 , and resigned his position effective March 31 , 2011 . In March 2012 , U.S. Senator David Vitter ( R , LA ) said he would oppose Obama 's Stein and Powell nominations , dampening near - term hopes for approval . However Senate leaders reached a deal , paving the way for affirmative votes on the two nominees in May 2012 and bringing the board to full strength for the first time since 2006 with Duke 's service after term end . Later , on January 6 , 2014 , the United States Senate confirmed Yellen 's nomination to be Chair of the Federal Reserve Board of Governors ; she is slated to be the first woman to hold the position and will become Chair on February 1 , 2014 . Subsequently , President Obama nominated Stanley Fischer to replace Yellen as the Vice Chair . In April 2014 , Stein announced he was leaving to return to Harvard May 28 with four years remaining on his term . At the time of the announcement , the FOMC `` already is down three members as it awaits the Senate confirmation of ... Fischer and Lael Brainard , and as ( President ) Obama has yet to name a replacement for ... Duke ... Powell is still serving as he awaits his confirmation for a second term . '' Allan R. Landon , former president and CEO of the Bank of Hawaii , was nominated in early 2015 by President Obama to the board . In July 2015 , President Obama nominated University of Michigan economist Kathryn M. Dominguez to fill the second vacancy on the board . The Senate had not yet acted on Landon 's confirmation by the time of the second nomination . Daniel Tarullo submitted his resignation from the board on February 10 , 2017 , effective on or around April 5 , 2017 . Federal open market Committee ( edit ) Main article : Federal Open Market Committee The Federal Open Market Committee ( FOMC ) consists of 12 members , seven from the Board of Governors and 5 of the regional Federal Reserve Bank presidents . The FOMC oversees and sets policy on open market operations , the principal tool of national monetary policy . These operations affect the amount of Federal Reserve balances available to depository institutions , thereby influencing overall monetary and credit conditions . The FOMC also directs operations undertaken by the Federal Reserve in foreign exchange markets . The FOMC must reach consensus on all decisions . The president of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York is a permanent member of the FOMC ; the presidents of the other banks rotate membership at two - and three - year intervals . All Regional Reserve Bank presidents contribute to the committee 's assessment of the economy and of policy options , but only the five presidents who are then members of the FOMC vote on policy decisions . The FOMC determines its own internal organization and , by tradition , elects the Chair of the Board of Governors as its chair and the president of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York as its vice chair . Formal meetings typically are held eight times each year in Washington , D.C. Nonvoting Reserve Bank presidents also participate in Committee deliberations and discussion . The FOMC generally meets eight times a year in telephone consultations and other meetings are held when needed . Federal advisory Council ( edit ) Main article : Federal Advisory Council The Federal Advisory Council , composed of twelve representatives of the banking industry , advises the board on all matters within its jurisdiction . Federal Reserve banks ( edit ) Main article : Federal Reserve Bank Map of the twelve Federal Reserve Districts , with the twelve Federal Reserve Banks marked as black squares , and all Branches within each district ( 24 total ) marked as red circles . The Washington DC Headquarters is marked with a star . ( Also , a 25th branch in Buffalo , NY had been closed in 2008 . ) The twelve Reserve Banks buildings in 1936 There are 12 Federal Reserve Banks , each of which is responsible for member banks located in its district . They are located in Boston , New York , Philadelphia , Cleveland , Richmond , Atlanta , Chicago , St. Louis , Minneapolis , Kansas City , Dallas , and San Francisco . The size of each district was set based upon the population distribution of the United States when the Federal Reserve Act was passed . The charter and organization of each Federal Reserve Bank is established by law and can not be altered by the member banks . Member banks , do however , elect six of the nine members of the Federal Reserve Banks ' boards of directors . Each regional Bank has a president , who is the chief executive officer of their Bank . Each regional Reserve Bank 's president is nominated by their Bank 's board of directors , but the nomination is contingent upon approval by the Board of Governors . Presidents serve five - year terms and may be reappointed . Each regional Bank 's board consists of nine members . Members are broken down into three classes : A , B , and C. There are three board members in each class . Class A members are chosen by the regional Bank 's shareholders , and are intended to represent member banks ' interests . Member banks are divided into three categories : large , medium , and small . Each category elects one of the three class A board members . Class B board members are also nominated by the region 's member banks , but class B board members are supposed to represent the interests of the public . Lastly , class C board members are appointed by the Board of Governors , and are also intended to represent the interests of the public . Legal status of regional Federal Reserve banks ( edit ) The Federal Reserve Banks have an intermediate legal status , with some features of private corporations and some features of public federal agencies . The United States has an interest in the Federal Reserve Banks as tax - exempt federally created instrumentalities whose profits belong to the federal government , but this interest is not proprietary . In Lewis v. United States , the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit stated that : `` The Reserve Banks are not federal instrumentalities for purposes of the FTCA ( the Federal Tort Claims Act ) , but are independent , privately owned and locally controlled corporations . '' The opinion went on to say , however , that : `` The Reserve Banks have properly been held to be federal instrumentalities for some purposes . '' Another relevant decision is Scott v. Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City , in which the distinction is made between Federal Reserve Banks , which are federally created instrumentalities , and the Board of Governors , which is a federal agency . Regarding the structural relationship between the twelve Federal Reserve banks and the various commercial ( member ) banks , political science professor Michael D. Reagan has written that : ... the `` ownership '' of the Reserve Banks by the commercial banks is symbolic ; they do not exercise the proprietary control associated with the concept of ownership nor share , beyond the statutory dividend , in Reserve Bank `` profits . '' ... Bank ownership and election at the base are therefore devoid of substantive significance , despite the superficial appearance of private bank control that the formal arrangement creates . Plaque marking a bank as a member Member banks ( edit ) A member bank is a private institution and owns stock in its regional Federal Reserve Bank . All nationally chartered banks hold stock in one of the Federal Reserve Banks . State chartered banks may choose to be members ( and hold stock in their regional Federal Reserve bank ) upon meeting certain standards . The amount of stock a member bank must own is equal to 3 % of its combined capital and surplus . However , holding stock in a Federal Reserve bank is not like owning stock in a publicly traded company . These stocks can not be sold or traded , and member banks do not control the Federal Reserve Bank as a result of owning this stock . From the profits of the Regional Bank of which it is a member , a member bank receives a dividend equal to 6 % of its purchased stock . The remainder of the regional Federal Reserve Banks ' profits is given over to the United States Treasury Department . In 2015 , the Federal Reserve Banks made a profit of $100.2 billion and distributed $2.5 billion in dividends to member banks as well as returning $97.7 billion to the U.S. Treasury . About 38 % of U.S. banks are members of their regional Federal Reserve Bank . Accountability ( edit ) The GAO and an outside auditor regularly audit the Board of Governors , the Federal Reserve banks , and individual member banks . Audits do not cover `` most of the Fed 's monetary policy actions or decisions , including discount window lending ( direct loans to financial institutions ) , open - market operations and any other transactions made under the direction of the Federal Open Market Committee '' ... ( nor may the GAO audit ) `` dealings with foreign governments and other central banks . '' As of August 27 , 2012 , the Federal Reserve Board has been publishing unaudited financial reports for the Federal Reserve banks every quarter . This is an expansion of prior financial reporting practices . Greater transparency is offered with more frequent disclosure and more detail . November 7 , 2008 , Bloomberg L.P. News brought a lawsuit against the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System to force the board to reveal the identities of firms for which it has provided guarantees during the financial crisis of 2007 -- 2008 . Bloomberg , L.P. won at the trial court and the Fed 's appeals were rejected at both the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit and the U.S. Supreme Court . The data was released on March 31 , 2011 . Monetary policy ( edit ) Further information : Monetary policy of the United States The term `` monetary policy '' refers to the actions undertaken by a central bank , such as the Federal Reserve , to influence the availability and cost of money and credit to help promote national economic goals . What happens to money and credit affects interest rates ( the cost of credit ) and the performance of an economy . The Federal Reserve Act of 1913 gave the Federal Reserve authority to set monetary policy in the United States . Interbank lending ( edit ) The Federal Reserve sets monetary policy by influencing the federal funds rate , which is the rate of interbank lending of excess reserves . The rate that banks charge each other for these loans is determined in the interbank market and the Federal Reserve influences this rate through the three `` tools '' of monetary policy described in the Tools section below . The federal funds rate is a short - term interest rate that the FOMC focuses on , which affects the longer - term interest rates throughout the economy . The Federal Reserve summarized its monetary policy in 2005 : The Federal Reserve implements U.S. monetary policy by affecting conditions in the market for balances that depository institutions hold at the Federal Reserve Banks ... By conducting open market operations , imposing reserve requirements , permitting depository institutions to hold contractual clearing balances , and extending credit through its discount window facility , the Federal Reserve exercises considerable control over the demand for and supply of Federal Reserve balances and the federal funds rate . Through its control of the federal funds rate , the Federal Reserve is able to foster financial and monetary conditions consistent with its monetary policy objectives . Effects on the quantity of reserves that banks used to make loans influence the economy . Policy actions that add reserves to the banking system encourage lending at lower interest rates thus stimulating growth in money , credit , and the economy . Policy actions that absorb reserves work in the opposite direction . The Fed 's task is to supply enough reserves to support an adequate amount of money and credit , avoiding the excesses that result in inflation and the shortages that stifle economic growth . Tools ( edit ) There are three main tools of monetary policy that the Federal Reserve uses to influence the amount of reserves in private banks : Tool Description Open market operations Purchases and sales of U.S. Treasury and federal agency securities -- the Federal Reserve 's principal tool for implementing monetary policy . The Federal Reserve 's objective for open market operations has varied over the years . During the 1980s , the focus gradually shifted toward attaining a specified level of the federal funds rate ( the rate that banks charge each other for overnight loans of federal funds , which are the reserves held by banks at the Fed ) , a process that was largely complete by the end of the decade . Discount rate The interest rate charged to commercial banks and other depository institutions on loans they receive from their regional Federal Reserve Bank 's lending facility -- the discount window . Reserve requirements The amount of funds that a depository institution must hold in reserve against specified deposit liabilities . Federal funds rate and open market operations ( edit ) Further information : Open market operations , money creation , and federal funds rate The Federal Reserve System implements monetary policy largely by targeting the federal funds rate . This is the interest rate that banks charge each other for overnight loans of federal funds , which are the reserves held by banks at the Fed . This rate is actually determined by the market and is not explicitly mandated by the Fed . The Fed therefore tries to align the effective federal funds rate with the targeted rate by adding or subtracting from the money supply through open market operations . The Federal Reserve System usually adjusts the federal funds rate target by 0.25 % or 0.50 % at a time . Open market operations allow the Federal Reserve to increase or decrease the amount of money in the banking system as necessary to balance the Federal Reserve 's dual mandates . Open market operations are done through the sale and purchase of United States Treasury security , sometimes called `` Treasury bills '' or more informally `` T - bills '' or `` Treasuries '' . The Federal Reserve buys Treasury bills from its primary dealers . The purchase of these securities affects the federal funds rate , because primary dealers have accounts at depository institutions . The Federal Reserve education website describes open market operations as follows : Open market operations involve the buying and selling of U.S. government securities ( federal agency and mortgage - backed ) . The term ' open market ' means that the Fed does n't decide on its own which securities dealers it will do business with on a particular day . Rather , the choice emerges from an ' open market ' in which the various securities dealers that the Fed does business with -- the primary dealers -- compete on the basis of price . Open market operations are flexible and thus , the most frequently used tool of monetary policy . Open market operations are the primary tool used to regulate the supply of bank reserves . This tool consists of Federal Reserve purchases and sales of financial instruments , usually securities issued by the U.S. Treasury , Federal agencies and government - sponsored enterprises . Open market operations are carried out by the Domestic Trading Desk of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York under direction from the FOMC . The transactions are undertaken with primary dealers . The Fed 's goal in trading the securities is to affect the federal funds rate , the rate at which banks borrow reserves from each other . When the Fed wants to increase reserves , it buys securities and pays for them by making a deposit to the account maintained at the Fed by the primary dealer 's bank . When the Fed wants to reduce reserves , it sells securities and collects from those accounts . Most days , the Fed does not want to increase or decrease reserves permanently so it usually engages in transactions reversed within a day or two . That means that a reserve injection today could be withdrawn tomorrow morning , only to be renewed at some level several hours later . These short - term transactions are called repurchase agreements ( repos ) -- the dealer sells the Fed a security and agrees to buy it back at a later date . Repurchase agreements ( edit ) Further information : Repurchase agreement To smooth temporary or cyclical changes in the money supply , the desk engages in repurchase agreements ( repos ) with its primary dealers . Repos are essentially secured , short - term lending by the Fed . On the day of the transaction , the Fed deposits money in a primary dealer 's reserve account , and receives the promised securities as collateral . When the transaction matures , the process unwinds : the Fed returns the collateral and charges the primary dealer 's reserve account for the principal and accrued interest . The term of the repo ( the time between settlement and maturity ) can vary from 1 day ( called an overnight repo ) to 65 days . Discount rate ( edit ) Further information : Discount window The Federal Reserve System also directly sets the `` discount rate '' , which is the interest rate for `` discount window lending '' , overnight loans that member banks borrow directly from the Fed . This rate is generally set at a rate close to 100 basis points above the target federal funds rate . The idea is to encourage banks to seek alternative funding before using the `` discount rate '' option . The equivalent operation by the European Central Bank is referred to as the `` marginal lending facility '' . Both the discount rate and the federal funds rate influence the prime rate , which is usually about 3 percentage points higher than the federal funds rate . Reserve requirements ( edit ) Another instrument of monetary policy adjustment employed by the Federal Reserve System is the fractional reserve requirement , also known as the required reserve ratio . The required reserve ratio sets the balance that the Federal Reserve System requires a depository institution to hold in the Federal Reserve Banks , which depository institutions trade in the federal funds market discussed above . The required reserve ratio is set by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System . The reserve requirements have changed over time and some history of these changes is published by the Federal Reserve . Reserve Requirements in the U.S. Federal Reserve System Liability Type Requirement Percentage of liabilities Effective date Net transaction accounts $0 to $11.5 million 0 December 29 , 2011 More than $11.5 million to $71 million December 29 , 2011 More than $71 million 10 December 29 , 2011 Nonpersonal time deposits 0 December 27 , 1990 Eurocurrency liabilities 0 December 27 , 1990 As a response to the financial crisis of 2008 , the Federal Reserve now makes interest payments on depository institutions ' required and excess reserve balances . The payment of interest on excess reserves gives the central bank greater opportunity to address credit market conditions while maintaining the federal funds rate close to the target rate set by the FOMC . New facilities ( edit ) In order to address problems related to the subprime mortgage crisis and United States housing bubble , several new tools have been created . The first new tool , called the Term Auction Facility , was added on December 12 , 2007 . It was first announced as a temporary tool but there have been suggestions that this new tool may remain in place for a prolonged period of time . Creation of the second new tool , called the Term Securities Lending Facility , was announced on March 11 , 2008 . The main difference between these two facilities is that the Term Auction Facility is used to inject cash into the banking system whereas the Term Securities Lending Facility is used to inject treasury securities into the banking system . Creation of the third tool , called the Primary Dealer Credit Facility ( PDCF ) , was announced on March 16 , 2008 . The PDCF was a fundamental change in Federal Reserve policy because now the Fed is able to lend directly to primary dealers , which was previously against Fed policy . The differences between these three new facilities is described by the Federal Reserve : The Term Auction Facility program offers term funding to depository institutions via a bi-weekly auction , for fixed amounts of credit . The Term Securities Lending Facility will be an auction for a fixed amount of lending of Treasury general collateral in exchange for OMO - eligible and AAA / Aaa rated private - label residential mortgage - backed securities . The Primary Dealer Credit Facility now allows eligible primary dealers to borrow at the existing Discount Rate for up to 120 days . Some measures taken by the Federal Reserve to address this mortgage crisis have not been used since the Great Depression . The Federal Reserve gives a brief summary of these new facilities : As the economy has slowed in the last nine months and credit markets have become unstable , the Federal Reserve has taken a number of steps to help address the situation . These steps have included the use of traditional monetary policy tools at the macroeconomic level as well as measures at the level of specific markets to provide additional liquidity . The Federal Reserve 's response has continued to evolve since pressure on credit markets began to surface last summer , but all these measures derive from the Fed 's traditional open market operations and discount window tools by extending the term of transactions , the type of collateral , or eligible borrowers . A fourth facility , the Term Deposit Facility , was announced December 9 , 2009 , and approved April 30 , 2010 , with an effective date of June 4 , 2010 . The Term Deposit Facility allows Reserve Banks to offer term deposits to institutions that are eligible to receive earnings on their balances at Reserve Banks . Term deposits are intended to facilitate the implementation of monetary policy by providing a tool by which the Federal Reserve can manage the aggregate quantity of reserve balances held by depository institutions . Funds placed in term deposits are removed from the accounts of participating institutions for the life of the term deposit and thus drain reserve balances from the banking system . Term Auction Facility ( edit ) Further information : Term auction facility The Term Auction Facility is a program in which the Federal Reserve auctions term funds to depository institutions . The creation of this facility was announced by the Federal Reserve on December 12 , 2007 , and was done in conjunction with the Bank of Canada , the Bank of England , the European Central Bank , and the Swiss National Bank to address elevated pressures in short - term funding markets . The reason it was created is that banks were not lending funds to one another and banks in need of funds were refusing to go to the discount window . Banks were not lending money to each other because there was a fear that the loans would not be paid back . Banks refused to go to the discount window because it is usually associated with the stigma of bank failure . Under the Term Auction Facility , the identity of the banks in need of funds is protected in order to avoid the stigma of bank failure . Foreign exchange swap lines with the European Central Bank and Swiss National Bank were opened so the banks in Europe could have access to U.S. dollars . Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke briefly described this facility to the U.S. House of Representatives on January 17 , 2008 : the Federal Reserve recently unveiled a term auction facility , or TAF , through which prespecified amounts of discount window credit can be auctioned to eligible borrowers . The goal of the TAF is to reduce the incentive for banks to hoard cash and increase their willingness to provide credit to households and firms ... TAF auctions will continue as long as necessary to address elevated pressures in short - term funding markets , and we will continue to work closely and cooperatively with other central banks to address market strains that could hamper the achievement of our broader economic objectives . It is also described in the Term Auction Facility FAQ The TAF is a credit facility that allows a depository institution to place a bid for an advance from its local Federal Reserve Bank at an interest rate that is determined as the result of an auction . By allowing the Federal Reserve to inject term funds through a broader range of counterparties and against a broader range of collateral than open market operations , this facility could help ensure that liquidity provisions can be disseminated efficiently even when the unsecured interbank markets are under stress . In short , the TAF will auction term funds of approximately one - month maturity . All depository institutions that are judged to be in sound financial condition by their local Reserve Bank and that are eligible to borrow at the discount window are also eligible to participate in TAF auctions . All TAF credit must be fully collateralized . Depositories may pledge the broad range of collateral that is accepted for other Federal Reserve lending programs to secure TAF credit . The same collateral values and margins applicable for other Federal Reserve lending programs will also apply for the TAF . Term securities lending Facility ( edit ) The Term Securities Lending Facility is a 28 - day facility that will offer Treasury general collateral to the Federal Reserve Bank of New York 's primary dealers in exchange for other program - eligible collateral . It is intended to promote liquidity in the financing markets for Treasury and other collateral and thus to foster the functioning of financial markets more generally . Like the Term Auction Facility , the TSLF was done in conjunction with the Bank of Canada , the Bank of England , the European Central Bank , and the Swiss National Bank . The resource allows dealers to switch debt that is less liquid for U.S. government securities that are easily tradable . The currency swap lines with the European Central Bank and Swiss National Bank were increased . Primary dealer credit Facility ( edit ) The Primary Dealer Credit Facility ( PDCF ) is an overnight loan facility that will provide funding to primary dealers in exchange for a specified range of eligible collateral and is intended to foster the functioning of financial markets more generally . This new facility marks a fundamental change in Federal Reserve policy because now primary dealers can borrow directly from the Fed when this used to be prohibited . Interest on reserves ( edit ) Main article : Interest on excess reserves in the United States As of October 2008 , the Federal Reserve banks will pay interest on reserve balances ( required and excess ) held by depository institutions . The rate is set at the lowest federal funds rate during the reserve maintenance period of an institution , less 75 bp . As of October 23 , 2008 , the Fed has lowered the spread to a mere 35 bp . Term deposit Facility ( edit ) The Term Deposit Facility is a program through which the Federal Reserve Banks will offer interest - bearing term deposits to eligible institutions . By removing `` excess deposits '' from participating banks , the overall level of reserves available for lending is reduced , which should result in increased market interest rates , acting as a brake on economic activity and inflation . The Federal Reserve has stated that : Term deposits will be one of several tools that the Federal Reserve could employ to drain reserves when policymakers judge that it is appropriate to begin moving to a less accommodative stance of monetary policy . The development of the TDF is a matter of prudent planning and has no implication for the near - term conduct of monetary policy . The Federal Reserve initially authorized up to five `` small - value offerings are designed to ensure the effectiveness of TDF operations and to provide eligible institutions with an opportunity to gain familiarity with term deposit procedures . '' After three of the offering auctions were successfully completed , it was announced that small - value auctions would continue on an ongoing basis . The Term Deposit Facility is essentially a tool available to reverse the efforts that have been employed to provide liquidity to the financial markets and to reduce the amount of capital available to the economy . As stated in Bloomberg News : Policy makers led by Chairman Ben S. Bernanke are preparing for the day when they will have to start siphoning off more than $1 trillion in excess reserves from the banking system to contain inflation . The Fed is charting an eventual return to normal monetary policy , even as a weakening near - term outlook has raised the possibility it may expand its balance sheet . Chairman Ben S. Bernanke , testifying before House Committee on Financial Services , described the Term Deposit Facility and other facilities to Congress in the following terms : Most importantly , in October 2008 the Congress gave the Federal Reserve statutory authority to pay interest on balances that banks hold at the Federal Reserve Banks . By increasing the interest rate on banks ' reserves , the Federal Reserve will be able to put significant upward pressure on all short - term interest rates , as banks will not supply short - term funds to the money markets at rates significantly below what they can earn by holding reserves at the Federal Reserve Banks . Actual and prospective increases in short - term interest rates will be reflected in turn in higher longer - term interest rates and in tighter financial conditions more generally ... As an additional means of draining reserves , the Federal Reserve is also developing plans to offer to depository institutions term deposits , which are roughly analogous to certificates of deposit that the institutions offer to their customers . A proposal describing a term deposit facility was recently published in the Federal Register , and the Federal Reserve is finalizing a revised proposal in light of the public comments that have been received . After a revised proposal is reviewed by the Board , we expect to be able to conduct test transactions this spring and to have the facility available if necessary thereafter . The use of reverse repos and the deposit facility would together allow the Federal Reserve to drain hundreds of billions of dollars of reserves from the banking system quite quickly , should it choose to do so . When these tools are used to drain reserves from the banking system , they do so by replacing bank reserves with other liabilities ; the asset side and the overall size of the Federal Reserve 's balance sheet remain unchanged . If necessary , as a means of applying monetary restraint , the Federal Reserve also has the option of redeeming or selling securities . The redemption or sale of securities would have the effect of reducing the size of the Federal Reserve 's balance sheet as well as further reducing the quantity of reserves in the banking system . Restoring the size and composition of the balance sheet to a more normal configuration is a longer - term objective of our policies . In any case , the sequencing of steps and the combination of tools that the Federal Reserve uses as it exits from its currently very accommodative policy stance will depend on economic and financial developments and on our best judgments about how to meet the Federal Reserve 's dual mandate of maximum employment and price stability . In sum , in response to severe threats to our economy , the Federal Reserve created a series of special lending facilities to stabilize the financial system and encourage the resumption of private credit flows to American families and businesses . As market conditions and the economic outlook have improved , these programs have been terminated or are being phased out . The Federal Reserve also promoted economic recovery through sharp reductions in its target for the federal funds rate and through large - scale purchases of securities . The economy continues to require the support of accommodative monetary policies . However , we have been working to ensure that we have the tools to reverse , at the appropriate time , the currently very high degree of monetary stimulus . We have full confidence that , when the time comes , we will be ready to do so . Asset backed commercial paper money market Mutual Fund liquidity Facility ( edit ) The Asset Backed Commercial Paper Money Market Mutual Fund Liquidity Facility ( ABCPMMMFLF ) was also called the AMLF . The Facility began operations on September 22 , 2008 , and was closed on February 1 , 2010 . All U.S. depository institutions , bank holding companies ( parent companies or U.S. broker - dealer affiliates ) , or U.S. branches and agencies of foreign banks were eligible to borrow under this facility pursuant to the discretion of the FRBB . Collateral eligible for pledge under the Facility was required to meet the following criteria : was purchased by Borrower on or after September 19 , 2008 from a registered investment company that held itself out as a money market mutual fund ; was purchased by Borrower at the Fund 's acquisition cost as adjusted for amortization of premium or accretion of discount on the ABCP through the date of its purchase by Borrower ; was rated at the time pledged to FRBB , not lower than A1 , F1 , or P1 by at least two major rating agencies or , if rated by only one major rating agency , the ABCP must have been rated within the top rating category by that agency ; was issued by an entity organized under the laws of the United States or a political subdivision thereof under a program that was in existence on September 18 , 2008 ; and had stated maturity that did not exceed 120 days if the Borrower was a bank or 270 days for non-bank Borrowers . Commercial paper funding Facility ( edit ) On October 7 , 2008 , the Federal Reserve further expanded the collateral it will loan against to include commercial paper using the new Commercial Paper Funding Facility ( CPFF ) . The action made the Fed a crucial source of credit for non-financial businesses in addition to commercial banks and investment firms . Fed officials said they 'll buy as much of the debt as necessary to get the market functioning again . They refused to say how much that might be , but they noted that around $1.3 trillion worth of commercial paper would qualify . There was $1.61 trillion in outstanding commercial paper , seasonally adjusted , on the market as of October 1 , 2008 , according to the most recent data from the Fed . That was down from $1.70 trillion in the previous week . Since the summer of 2007 , the market has shrunk from more than $2.2 trillion . This program lent out a total $738 billion before it was closed . Forty - five out of 81 of the companies participating in this program were foreign firms . Research shows that Troubled Asset Relief Program ( TARP ) recipients were twice as likely to participate in the program than other commercial paper issuers who did not take advantage of the TARP bailout . The Fed incurred no losses from the CPFF . Quantitative policy ( edit ) A little - used tool of the Federal Reserve is the quantitative policy . With that the Federal Reserve actually buys back corporate bonds and mortgage backed securities held by banks or other financial institutions . This in effect puts money back into the financial institutions and allows them to make loans and conduct normal business . The bursting of the United States housing bubble prompted the Fed to buy mortgage - backed securities for the first time in November 2008 . Over six weeks , a total of $1.25 trillion were purchased in order to stabilize the housing market , about one - fifth of all U.S. government - backed mortgages . History ( edit ) Timeline of central banking in the United States Dates System 1782 -- 1791 Bank of North America ( de facto , under the Confederation Congress ) 1791 -- 1811 First Bank of the United States 1811 -- 1816 No central bank 1816 -- 1836 Second Bank of the United States 1837 -- 1862 Free Banking Era 1846 -- 1921 Independent Treasury System 1863 -- 1913 National Banks 1913 -- present Federal Reserve System Sources : Central banking in the United States , 1791 -- 1913 ( edit ) Main article : History of central banking in the United States The first attempt at a national currency was during the American Revolutionary War . In 1775 , the Continental Congress , as well as the states , began issuing paper currency , calling the bills `` Continentals '' . The Continentals were backed only by future tax revenue , and were used to help finance the Revolutionary War . Overprinting , as well as British counterfeiting , caused the value of the Continental to diminish quickly . This experience with paper money led the United States to strip the power to issue Bills of Credit ( paper money ) from a draft of the new Constitution on August 16 , 1787 , as well as banning such issuance by the various states , and limiting the states ' ability to make anything but gold or silver coin legal tender on August 28 . In 1791 , the government granted the First Bank of the United States a charter to operate as the U.S. central bank until 1811 . The First Bank of the United States came to an end under President Madison because Congress refused to renew its charter . The Second Bank of the United States was established in 1816 , and lost its authority to be the central bank of the U.S. twenty years later under President Jackson when its charter expired . Both banks were based upon the Bank of England . Ultimately , a third national bank , known as the Federal Reserve , was established in 1913 and still exists to this day . First central Bank , 1791 and second central Bank , 1816 ( edit ) The first U.S. institution with central banking responsibilities was the First Bank of the United States , chartered by Congress and signed into law by President George Washington on February 25 , 1791 , at the urging of Alexander Hamilton . This was done despite strong opposition from Thomas Jefferson and James Madison , among numerous others . The charter was for twenty years and expired in 1811 under President Madison , because Congress refused to renew it . In 1816 , however , Madison revived it in the form of the Second Bank of the United States . Years later , early renewal of the bank 's charter became the primary issue in the reelection of President Andrew Jackson . After Jackson , who was opposed to the central bank , was reelected , he pulled the government 's funds out of the bank . Jackson was the only President to completely pay off the debt . The bank 's charter was not renewed in 1836 . From 1837 to 1862 , in the Free Banking Era there was no formal central bank . From 1846 to 1921 , an Independent Treasury System ruled . From 1863 to 1913 , a system of national banks was instituted by the 1863 National Banking Act during which series of bank panics , in 1873 , 1893 , and 1907 occurred Creation of third central Bank , 1907 -- 1913 ( edit ) Main article : History of the Federal Reserve System The main motivation for the third central banking system came from the Panic of 1907 , which caused renewed demands for banking and currency reform . During the last quarter of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century , the United States economy went through a series of financial panics . According to many economists , the previous national banking system had two main weaknesses : an inelastic currency and a lack of liquidity . In 1908 , Congress enacted the Aldrich -- Vreeland Act , which provided for an emergency currency and established the National Monetary Commission to study banking and currency reform . The National Monetary Commission returned with recommendations which were repeatedly rejected by Congress . A revision crafted during a secret meeting on Jekyll Island by Senator Aldrich and representatives of the nation 's top finance and industrial groups later became the basis of the Federal Reserve Act . The House voted on December 22 , 1913 , with 298 voting yes to 60 voting no . The Senate voted 43 -- 25 on December 23 , 1913 . President Woodrow Wilson signed the bill later that day . Federal Reserve Act , 1913 ( edit ) Main article : Federal Reserve Act Newspaper clipping , December 24 , 1913 The head of the bipartisan National Monetary Commission was financial expert and Senate Republican leader Nelson Aldrich . Aldrich set up two commissions -- one to study the American monetary system in depth and the other , headed by Aldrich himself , to study the European central banking systems and report on them . In early November 1910 , Aldrich met with five well known members of the New York banking community to devise a central banking bill . Paul Warburg , an attendee of the meeting and longtime advocate of central banking in the U.S. , later wrote that Aldrich was `` bewildered at all that he had absorbed abroad and he was faced with the difficult task of writing a highly technical bill while being harassed by the daily grind of his parliamentary duties '' . After ten days of deliberation , the bill , which would later be referred to as the `` Aldrich Plan '' , was agreed upon . It had several key components , including a central bank with a Washington - based headquarters and fifteen branches located throughout the U.S. in geographically strategic locations , and a uniform elastic currency based on gold and commercial paper . Aldrich believed a central banking system with no political involvement was best , but was convinced by Warburg that a plan with no public control was not politically feasible . The compromise involved representation of the public sector on the Board of Directors . Aldrich 's bill met much opposition from politicians . Critics charged Aldrich of being biased due to his close ties to wealthy bankers such as J.P. Morgan and John D. Rockefeller , Jr. , Aldrich 's son - in - law . Most Republicans favored the Aldrich Plan , but it lacked enough support in Congress to pass because rural and western states viewed it as favoring the `` eastern establishment '' . In contrast , progressive Democrats favored a reserve system owned and operated by the government ; they believed that public ownership of the central bank would end Wall Street 's control of the American currency supply . Conservative Democrats fought for a privately owned , yet decentralized , reserve system , which would still be free of Wall Street 's control . The original Aldrich Plan was dealt a fatal blow in 1912 , when Democrats won the White House and Congress . Nonetheless , President Woodrow Wilson believed that the Aldrich plan would suffice with a few modifications . The plan became the basis for the Federal Reserve Act , which was proposed by Senator Robert Owen in May 1913 . The primary difference between the two bills was the transfer of control of the Board of Directors ( called the Federal Open Market Committee in the Federal Reserve Act ) to the government . The bill passed Congress on December 23 , 1913 , on a mostly partisan basis , with most Democrats voting `` yea '' and most Republicans voting `` nay '' .

A few websites where data is published are at the Board of Governors Economic Data and Research page , the Board of Governors statistical releases and historical data page , and at the St. Louis Fed 's FRED ( Federal Reserve Economic Data ) page . The Federal Open Market Committee ( FOMC ) examines many economic indicators prior to determining monetary policy . Some criticism involves economic data compiled by the Fed . The Fed sponsors much of the monetary economics research in the U.S. , and Lawrence H. White objects that this makes it less likely for researchers to publish findings challenging the status quo . Net worth of households and nonprofit organizations ( edit ) Total Net Worth -- Balance Sheet of Households and Nonprofit Organizations 1949 -- 2012 The net worth of households and nonprofit organizations in the United States is published by the Federal Reserve in a report titled Flow of Funds . At the end of the third quarter of fiscal year 2012 , this value was $64.8 trillion . At the end of the first quarter of fiscal year 2014 , this value was $95.5 trillion . Money supply ( edit ) Further information : Money supply The most common measures are named M0 ( narrowest ) , M1 , M2 , and M3 . In the United States they are defined by the Federal Reserve as follows : Measure Definition M0 The total of all physical currency , plus accounts at the central bank that can be exchanged for physical currency . M1 M0 + those portions of M0 held as reserves or vault cash + the amount in demand accounts ( `` checking '' or `` current '' accounts ) . M2 M1 + most savings accounts , money market accounts , and small denomination time deposits ( certificates of deposit of under $100,000 ) . M3 M2 + all other CDs , deposits of eurodollars and repurchase agreements . The Federal Reserve stopped publishing M3 statistics in March 2006 , saying that the data cost a lot to collect but did not provide significantly useful information . The other three money supply measures continue to be provided in detail . CPI vs M2 money supply increases Personal consumption expenditures price index ( edit ) Further information : Personal consumption expenditures price index The Personal consumption expenditures price index , also referred to as simply the PCE price index , is used as one measure of the value of money . It is a United States - wide indicator of the average increase in prices for all domestic personal consumption . Using a variety of data including United States Consumer Price Index and U.S. Producer Price Index prices , it is derived from the largest component of the gross domestic product in the BEA 's National Income and Product Accounts , personal consumption expenditures . One of the Fed 's main roles is to maintain price stability , which means that the Fed 's ability to keep a low inflation rate is a long - term measure of their success . Although the Fed is not required to maintain inflation within a specific range , their long run target for the growth of the PCE price index is between 1.5 and 2 percent . There has been debate among policy makers as to whether the Federal Reserve should have a specific inflation targeting policy . Inflation and the economy ( edit ) Most mainstream economists favor a low , steady rate of inflation . Low ( as opposed to zero or negative ) inflation may reduce the severity of economic recessions by enabling the labor market to adjust more quickly in a downturn , and reduce the risk that a liquidity trap prevents monetary policy from stabilizing the economy . The task of keeping the rate of inflation low and stable is usually given to monetary authorities . Unemployment rate ( edit ) Further information : Unemployment rate § United States Bureau of Labor Statistics , and List of U.S. states by unemployment rate United States unemployment rates 1975 -- 2010 showing variance between the fifty states One of the stated goals of monetary policy is maximum employment . The unemployment rate statistics are collected by the Bureau of Labor Statistics , and like the PCE price index are used as a barometer of the nation 's economic health . Budget ( edit ) The Federal Reserve is self - funded . The vast majority ( 90 % + ) of Fed revenues come from open market operations , specifically the interest on the portfolio of Treasury securities as well as `` capital gains / losses '' that may arise from the buying / selling of the securities and their derivatives as part of Open Market Operations . The balance of revenues come from sales of financial services ( check and electronic payment processing ) and discount window loans . The Board of Governors ( Federal Reserve Board ) creates a budget report once per year for Congress . There are two reports with budget information . The one that lists the complete balance statements with income and expenses as well as the net profit or loss is the large report simply titled , `` Annual Report '' . It also includes data about employment throughout the system . The other report , which explains in more detail the expenses of the different aspects of the whole system , is called `` Annual Report : Budget Review '' . These detailed comprehensive reports can be found at the Board of Governors ' website under the section `` Reports to Congress '' Federal Reserve remittance payments to the treasury Net worth ( edit ) Balance sheet ( edit ) This section needs to be updated . Please update this article to reflect recent events or newly available information . ( July 2015 ) Federal Reserve total assets , treasuries , and mortages One of the keys to understanding the Federal Reserve is the Federal Reserve balance sheet ( or balance statement ) . In accordance with Section 11 of the Federal Reserve Act , the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System publishes once each week the `` Consolidated Statement of Condition of All Federal Reserve Banks '' showing the condition of each Federal Reserve bank and a consolidated statement for all Federal Reserve banks . The Board of Governors requires that excess earnings of the Reserve Banks be transferred to the Treasury as interest on Federal Reserve notes . Below is the balance sheet as of July 6 , 2011 ( in billions of dollars ) : Note : The Fed balance sheet shown in this article has assets , liabilities and net equity that do not add to the balance . The Fed balance sheet is missing the item `` Reserve Balances with Federal Reserve Banks '' which would make the figures balance .

Critique of the organization and system has come from sources such as writers , journalists , economists , and financial institutions as well as politicians and various government employees . Criticisms include transparency , doubt of efficacy due to what is seen by some as poor historical performance and traditionalist concerns about the debasement of the value of the dollar . From the beginning , the Federal Reserve has been the subject of many popular conspiracy theories , that typically link the Fed to numerous other supposed conspiracies .

However , last year many banks refused to use the discount window , even though they found it hard to raise funds in the market , because it was associated with the stigma of bank failure Jump up ^ `` Fed Boosts Next Two Special Auctions to $30 Billion '' . Bloomberg . January 4 , 2008 . The Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System established the temporary Term Auction Facility , dubbed TAF , in December to provide cash after interest - rate cuts failed to break banks ' reluctance to lend amid concern about losses related to subprime mortgage securities . The program will make funding from the Fed available beyond the 20 authorized primary dealers that trade with the central bank Jump up ^ `` A dirty job , but someone has to do it '' . economist.com . December 13 , 2007 . Retrieved August 29 , 2011 . The Fed 's discount window , for instance , through which it lends direct to banks , has barely been approached , despite the soaring spreads in the interbank market . The quarter - point cuts in its federal funds rate and discount rate on December 11 were followed by a steep sell - off in the stockmarket ... The hope is that by extending the maturity of central - bank money , broadening the range of collateral against which banks can borrow and shifting from direct lending to an auction , the central bankers will bring down spreads in the one - and three - month money markets . There will be no net addition of liquidity . What the central bankers add at longer - term maturities , they will take out in the overnight market . But there are risks . The first is that , for all the fanfare , the central banks ' plan will make little difference . After all , it does nothing to remove the fundamental reason why investors are worried about lending to banks . This is the uncertainty about potential losses from subprime mortgages and the products based on them , and -- given that uncertainty -- the banks ' own desire to hoard capital against the chance that they will have to strengthen their balance sheets .

For mythical folk - ballad of the Ainu , see yukar . The lead section of this article may need to be rewritten . Please discuss this issue on the article 's talk page . Use the lead layout guide to ensure the section follows Wikipedia 's norms and to be inclusive of all essential details . ( December 2014 ) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message ) Japanese folktales are the folktales of Japan . In commonplace usage , it signifies a certain set of well - known classic tales , with a vague distinction of whether they fit the rigorous definition of folktale or not . The admixed imposters are literate written pieces , dating back to the Muromachi period ( 14th - 16th centuries ) or even earlier times in the Middle Ages . These would not normally qualify as `` folktales '' ( i.e. , pieces collected from oral tradition among the populace ) . In a more stringent sense , `` Japanese folktales '' refer to orally transmitted folk narrative . Systematic collection of specimens was pioneered by folklorist Kunio Yanagita . Yanagita disliked the word minwa ( 民話 ) , a coined term directly translated from `` folktale '' ( Yanagita stated that the term was not familiar to actual old folk he collected folktales from , and was not willing to `` go along '' with the conventions of other countries ) . He therefore proposed the use of the term mukashibanashi ( 昔話 , `` tales of long ago '' ) to apply to all creative types of folktales ( i.e. , those that are not `` legendary '' types which are more of a reportage ) . Contents ( hide ) 1 Overview 2 List of tales 2.1 Animals in folklore 3 Theorized influences 4 See also 5 References Overview ( edit ) A representative sampling of Japanese folklore would definitely include the quintessential Momotarō ( Peach Boy ) , and perhaps other folktales listed among the so - called `` five great fairy tales '' ( 五大 昔話 , Go - dai Mukashi banashi ) : the battle between The Crab and the Monkey , Shita - kiri Suzume ( Tongue - cut sparrow ) , Hanasaka Jiisan ( Flower - blooming old man ) , and Kachi - kachi Yama . These stories just named are considered genuine folktales , having received those auspices by folklorist Kunio Yanagita . During the Edo Period these tales had been adapted by professional writers and woodblock - printed in a form a called kusazōshi ( cf. chapbooks ) , but a number of local variant versions of the tales have been collected in the field as well . As a forestated , non-genuine folktales are those already committed to writing long ago , the earliest being the tale of Princess Kaguya ( or The Tale of the Bamboo Cutter ) , an example of monogatari type of romance dated to as early as the 10th century , though extant manuscripts are much later . The text gives reference , for example , to the flame - proof `` fire rat ( 火 鼠 , Hinezumi ) ( or salamander ) 's fur robe '' ( perhaps familiar to watchers of the anime InuYasha as the vestment of the title character ) , which attests to considerable degree of book - knowledge and learning by its author . Other examples of pseudo-folktales which have been composed in the Middle Ages are the Uji Shūi Monogatari ( 13th century ) that includes the nucleus of classics as ( Kobutori Jīsan - the old man with the hump on his cheek , and Straw Millionaire ) . This and the Konjaku Monogatarishū ( 12th century ) also contains a number of type of tales designated setsuwa , a generic term for narratives of various nature , anything from moralizing to comical . Both works , it might be noted , are divided into parts containing tales from India , tales from China , and tales from Japan . In the Konjaku Monogatarishū can be seen the early developments of the Kintarō legend , familiar in folktale - type form . The Japanese word used to correspond to `` folktale '' has undergone development over the years . From the Edo Period , the term used was otokibanashi ( お伽 話 ) , i.e. , tales told by the otogii - shū who were professional storytellers hired to entertain the daimyo lord at the bedside . That term continued to be in currency through the Meiji era ( late 19th century ) , when imported terms such as minwa began usage . In the Taisho era , the word dōwa ( lit . `` children 's story '' but was a translated coinage for fairy tales or märchen ) was used . Then Yanagita popularized the use of mukashi - banashi `` tales of long ago '' , as mentioned before . Although some Japanese ghost stories or kaidan such as the story of the Yuki - onna ( `` snow woman '' ) might be considered examples of folktales , but even though some overlaps may exist , they are usually treated as another genre . The familiar forms of stories are embellished works of literature by gesaku writers , or retooled for the kabuki theater performance , in the case of the bakeneko or monstrous cat . The famous collection Kwaidan by Lafcadio Hearn also consists of original retellings . Yanagita published a collection ' Legends of Tohno ( 遠野 物語 , Tohno Monogatari ) ' ( 1910 ) which featured a number of fanatastical yokai creatures such as Zashiki - warashi and kappa . In the middle years of the 20th century storytellers would often travel from town to town telling these stories with special paper illustrations called kamishibai . List of tales ( edit ) Below is a list of well - known Japanese folktales : No . Name Portrait Note hero / heroine type Chikarataro Issun - boshi the One - inch Boy Kintarō the superhuman Golden Boy , based on folk hero Sakata no Kintoki Momotaro the oni - slaying Peach Boy 5 The Tale of the Bamboo Cutter about a mysterious girl called Kaguya - hime who is said to be from the capital of the moon grateful creature motif 6 Bunbuku Chagama the story of a teakettle which is actually a shape - changing tanuki 7 Hanasaka Jiisan the story of the old man that made the flowers bloom 8 Kasa jizo a Jizo statue given a straw hat and is grateful 9 Omusubi kororin a Jizo statue given a straw hat and is grateful 10 Shita - kiri Suzume the story of the tongue - cut sparrow 11 Yuko - Chan and the Daruma Doll the story about the adventures of a blind Japanese girl who saves her village ; written by Sunny Seki 12 Urashima Taro who rescued a turtle and visited the bottom of the sea 13 My Lord Bag of Rice good fortune motif 14 Kobutori Jīsan a man with a large wen ( tumor , kobu ) on his cheek , and how he loses it 15 Straw Millionaire ( warashibe choja ( ? ? ? ? ? ? ) ) punishment motif 16 The Crab and the Monkey ( saru kani gassen ( ? ? ? ? ) ) 17 Kachi - kachi Yama rabbit punishes tanuki Animals in folklore ( edit ) Tongue - cut sparrow : A washer woman cut off the tongue of a sparrow that was pecking at her rice starch . The sparrow had been fed regularly by the washer woman 's neighbors , so when the sparrow did n't come , they went in the woods to search for it . They found it , and after a feast and some dancing ( which the sparrow prepared ) , the neighbors were given the choice between two boxes ; one large and one small . The neighbors picked the small box , and it was filled with riches . The washer woman saw these riches and heard where they came from , so she went to the sparrow . She too was entertained and given the choice between two boxes . The washer woman picked the largest box and instead of gaining riches , she was devoured by devils . Mandarin Ducks : A man kills a drake mandarin duck for food . That night he had a dream that a woman was accusing him of murdering her husband , and then told him to return to the lake . The man does this , and a female mandarin walks up to him and tears its chest open . Tanuki and Rabbit : A man catches a tanuki and tells his wife to cook it in a stew . The tanuki begs the wife not to cook him and promises to help with the cooking if he is spared . The wife agrees and unties him . The tanuki then transforms into her and kills her , then cooks her in a stew . Disguised as the man 's wife , the tanuki feeds him his wife . Once he is done , the tanuki transforms back to his original form and teases the man for eating his wife . A rabbit that was friends with the family was furious , so he had the tanuki carry sticks and , while he was n't looking , set these sticks on fire . Then the rabbit treated the burn with hot pepper paste . Finally the rabbit convinced the tanuki to build a boat of clay , and the rabbit followed in a sturdy boat . The clay boat began to sink , so the tanuki tried to escape , but then the rabbit hit him in the head with an oar , knocking him out and making him drown . Badger and Fox cub : A badger , vixen , and the vixen 's cub lived in a forest that was running out of food , so they came up with the plan of one of them pretending to be dead , the other disguising as a merchant , and the `` merchant '' selling the `` dead '' animal to a human . Then they would have money to buy food . The vixen pretended to be dead while the badger was the merchant . While the transaction was happening however , the badger told the human that the vixen was n't actually dead , so the human killed her . This infuriated the cub , so he proposed a competition . They would both disguise as humans and go into the village at different times . Whoever guessed what `` human '' was the other first , wins . The cub walked towards the village first , but he hid behind a tree . The badger went into the village , and accused the governor of being the fox , so the bodyguards of the governor beheaded him . Theorized influences ( edit ) This section may present fringe theories , without giving appropriate weight to the mainstream view , and explaining the responses to the fringe theories . Please help improve it or discuss the issue on the talk page . ( May 2012 ) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message ) The folklore of Japan has been influenced by foreign literature as well as the kind of spirit worship prevalent all throughout prehistoric Asia . The monkey stories of Japanese folklore have been influenced both by the Sanskrit epic Ramayana and the Chinese classic Journey to the West . The stories mentioned in the Buddhist Jataka tales appear in a modified form throughout the Japanese collection of popular stories . Some stories of ancient India were influential in shaping Japanese stories by providing them with materials . Indian materials were greatly modified and adapted in such a way as would appeal to the sensibilities of common people of Japan in general , transmitted through China and Korea .

For other uses , see EGOT ( disambiguation ) . Twelve people have won all four major annual American entertainment awards in a competitive , individual ( non-group ) category of the Emmy , Grammy , Oscar and Tony Awards . Respectively , these awards honor outstanding achievements in television , recording , film , and theater . Winning all four awards has been referred to as winning the `` grand slam '' of American show business . The acronym EGOT was coined by actor Philip Michael Thomas . When coining the acronym , Thomas stated that it also means `` energy , growth , opportunity and talent '' . However , he also intended ( and still believes ) that the `` E '' should only stand for the Primetime Emmy Award , and not a Daytime Emmy or any of the awards presented at the other types of Emmy ceremonies . Nevertheless , two of 12 people listed as EGOT winners have only won Daytime Emmys .

ASCII codes represent text in computers , telecommunications equipment , and other devices . Most modern character - encoding schemes are based on ASCII , although they support many additional characters . ASCII is the traditional name for the encoding system ; the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority ( IANA ) prefers the updated name US - ASCII , which clarifies that this system was developed in the US and based on the typographical symbols predominantly in use there . ASCII is one of a 1963 List of IEEE milestones .

Its first commercial use was as a seven - bit teleprinter code promoted by Bell data services . Work on the ASCII standard began on October 6 , 1960 , with the first meeting of the American Standards Association 's ( ASA ) ( now the American National Standards Institute or ANSI ) X3. 2 subcommittee . The first edition of the standard was published in 1963 , underwent a major revision during 1967 , and experienced its most recent update during 1986 . Compared to earlier telegraph codes , the proposed Bell code and ASCII were both ordered for more convenient sorting ( i.e. , alphabetization ) of lists , and added features for devices other than teleprinters . Originally based on the English alphabet , ASCII encodes 128 specified characters into seven - bit integers as shown by the ASCII chart above . Ninety - five of the encoded characters are printable : these include the digits 0 to 9 , lowercase letters a to z , uppercase letters A to Z , and punctuation symbols . In addition , the original ASCII specification included 33 non-printing control codes which originated with Teletype machines ; most of these are now obsolete . For example , lowercase i would be represented in the ASCII encoding by binary 1101001 = hexadecimal 69 ( i is the ninth letter ) = decimal 105 . History ( edit ) The American Standard Code for Information Interchange ( ASCII ) was developed under the auspices of a committee of the American Standards Association ( ASA ) , called the X3 committee , by its X3. 2 ( later X3L2 ) subcommittee , and later by that subcommittee 's X3. 2.4 working group ( now INCITS ) . The ASA became the United States of America Standards Institute ( USASI ) and ultimately the American National Standards Institute ( ANSI ) . With the other special characters and control codes filled in , ASCII was published as ASA X3. 4 - 1963 , leaving 28 code positions without any assigned meaning , reserved for future standardization , and one unassigned control code . There was some debate at the time whether there should be more control characters rather than the lowercase alphabet . The indecision did not last long : during May 1963 the CCITT Working Party on the New Telegraph Alphabet proposed to assign lowercase characters to sticks 6 and 7 , and International Organization for Standardization TC 97 SC 2 voted during October to incorporate the change into its draft standard . The X3. 2.4 task group voted its approval for the change to ASCII at its May 1963 meeting . Locating the lowercase letters in sticks 6 and 7 caused the characters to differ in bit pattern from the upper case by a single bit , which simplified case - insensitive character matching and the construction of keyboards and printers . The X3 committee made other changes , including other new characters ( the brace and vertical bar characters ) , renaming some control characters ( SOM became start of header ( SOH ) ) and moving or removing others ( RU was removed ) . ASCII was subsequently updated as USAS X3. 4 - 1967 , then USAS X3. 4 - 1968 , ANSI X3. 4 - 1977 , and finally , ANSI X3. 4 - 1986 . Revisions of the ASCII standard : ASA X3. 4 - 1963 ASA X3. 4 - 1965 ( approved , but not published , nevertheless used by IBM 2260 & 2265 Display Stations and IBM 2848 Display Control ) USAS X3. 4 - 1967 USAS X3. 4 - 1968 ANSI X3. 4 - 1977 ANSI X3. 4 - 1986 ANSI X3. 4 - 1986 ( R1992 ) ANSI X3. 4 - 1986 ( R1997 ) ANSI INCITS 4 - 1986 ( R2002 ) ANSI INCITS 4 - 1986 ( R2007 ) ANSI INCITS 4 - 1986 ( R2012 ) In the X3. 15 standard , the X3 committee also addressed how ASCII should be transmitted ( least significant bit first ) , and how it should be recorded on perforated tape . They proposed a 9 - track standard for magnetic tape , and attempted to deal with some punched card formats . Design considerations ( edit ) Bit width ( edit ) The X3. 2 subcommittee designed ASCII based on the earlier teleprinter encoding systems . Like other character encodings , ASCII specifies a correspondence between digital bit patterns and character symbols ( i.e. graphemes and control characters ) . This allows digital devices to communicate with each other and to process , store , and communicate character - oriented information such as written language . Before ASCII was developed , the encodings in use included 26 alphabetic characters , 10 numerical digits , and from 11 to 25 special graphic symbols . To include all these , and control characters compatible with the Comité Consultatif International Téléphonique et Télégraphique ( CCITT ) International Telegraph Alphabet No. 2 ( ITA2 ) standard of 1924 , FIELDATA ( 1956 ) , and early EBCDIC ( 1963 ) , more than 64 codes were required for ASCII . ITA2 were in turn based on the 5 - bit telegraph code Émile Baudot invented in 1870 and patented in 1874 . The committee debated the possibility of a shift function ( like in ITA2 ) , which would allow more than 64 codes to be represented by a six - bit code . In a shifted code , some character codes determine choices between options for the following character codes . It allows compact encoding , but is less reliable for data transmission , as an error in transmitting the shift code typically makes a long part of the transmission unreadable . The standards committee decided against shifting , and so ASCII required at least a seven - bit code . The committee considered an eight - bit code , since eight bits ( octets ) would allow two four - bit patterns to efficiently encode two digits with binary - coded decimal . However , it would require all data transmission to send eight bits when seven could suffice . The committee voted to use a seven - bit code to minimize costs associated with data transmission . Since perforated tape at the time could record eight bits in one position , it also allowed for a parity bit for error checking if desired . Eight - bit machines ( with octets as the native data type ) that did not use parity checking typically set the eighth bit to 0 . In some printers , the high bit was used to enable Italics printing . Internal organization ( edit ) The code itself was patterned so that most control codes were together and all graphic codes were together , for ease of identification . The first two so called ASCII sticks ( 32 positions ) were reserved for control characters . The `` space '' character had to come before graphics to make sorting easier , so it became position 20 ; for the same reason , many special signs commonly used as separators were placed before digits . The committee decided it was important to support uppercase 64 - character alphabets , and chose to pattern ASCII so it could be reduced easily to a usable 64 - character set of graphic codes , as was done in the DEC SIXBIT code ( 1963 ) . Lowercase letters were therefore not interleaved with uppercase . To keep options available for lowercase letters and other graphics , the special and numeric codes were arranged before the letters , and the letter A was placed in position 41 to match the draft of the corresponding British standard . The digits 0 -- 9 are prefixed with 011 , but the remaining 4 bits correspond to their respective values in binary , making conversion with binary - coded decimal straightforward . Many of the non-alphanumeric characters were positioned to correspond to their shifted position on typewriters ; an important subtlety is that these were based on mechanical typewriters , not electric typewriters . Mechanical typewriters followed the standard set by the Remington No. 2 ( 1878 ) , the first typewriter with a shift key , and the shifted values of 23456789 - were `` # $ % _& ' ( ) -- early typewriters omitted 0 and 1 , using O ( capital letter o ) and l ( lowercase letter L ) instead , but 1 ! and 0 ) pairs became standard once 0 and 1 became common . Thus , in ASCII ! '' # $ % were placed in the second stick , positions 1 -- 5 , corresponding to the digits 1 -- 5 in the adjacent stick . The parentheses could not correspond to 9 and 0 , however , because the place corresponding to 0 was taken by the space character . This was accommodated by removing _ ( underscore ) from 6 and shifting the remaining characters , which corresponded to many European typewriters that placed the parentheses with 8 and 9 . This discrepancy from typewriters led to bit - paired keyboards , notably the Teletype Model 33 , which used the left - shifted layout corresponding to ASCII , not to traditional mechanical typewriters . Electric typewriters , notably the IBM Selectric ( 1961 ) , used a somewhat different layout that has become standard on computers -- following the IBM PC ( 1981 ) , especially Model M ( 1984 ) -- and thus shift values for symbols on modern keyboards do not correspond as closely to the ASCII table as earlier keyboards did . The / ? pair also dates to the No. 2 , and the , < . > pairs were used on some keyboards ( others , including the No. 2 , did not shift , ( comma ) or . ( full stop ) so they could be used in uppercase without unshifting ) . However , ASCII split the ; : pair ( dating to No. 2 ) , and rearranged mathematical symbols ( varied conventions , commonly - * = + ) to :* ; + - = . Some common characters were not included , notably 1⁄21⁄4 ¢ , while ^ ` ~ were included as diacritics for international use , and < > for mathematical use , together with the simple line characters \ ( in addition to common / ) . The @ symbol was not used in continental Europe and the committee expected it would be replaced by an accented À in the French variation , so the @ was placed in position 40 , right before the letter A . The control codes felt essential for data transmission were the start of message ( SOM ) , end of address ( EOA ) , end of message ( EOM ) , end of transmission ( EOT ) , `` who are you ? '' ( WRU ) , `` are you ? '' ( RU ) , a reserved device control ( DC0 ) , synchronous idle ( SYNC ) , and acknowledge ( ACK ) . These were positioned to maximize the Hamming distance between their bit patterns . Character order ( edit ) ASCII - code order is also called ASCIIbetical order . Collation of data is sometimes done in this order rather than `` standard '' alphabetical order ( collating sequence ) . The main deviations in ASCII order are : All uppercase come before lowercase letters ; for example , `` Z '' precedes `` a '' Digits and many punctuation marks come before letters An intermediate order converts uppercase letters to lowercase before comparing ASCII values . Character groups ( edit ) Control characters ( edit ) Main article : Control character ASCII reserves the first 32 codes ( numbers 0 -- 31 decimal ) for control characters : codes originally intended not to represent printable information , but rather to control devices ( such as printers ) that make use of ASCII , or to provide meta - information about data streams such as those stored on magnetic tape . For example , character 10 represents the `` line feed '' function ( which causes a printer to advance its paper ) , and character 8 represents `` backspace '' . RFC 2822 refers to control characters that do not include carriage return , line feed or white space as non-whitespace control characters . Except for the control characters that prescribe elementary line - oriented formatting , ASCII does not define any mechanism for describing the structure or appearance of text within a document . Other schemes , such as markup languages , address page and document layout and formatting . The original ASCII standard used only short descriptive phrases for each control character . The ambiguity this caused was sometimes intentional , for example where a character would be used slightly differently on a terminal link than on a data stream , and sometimes accidental , for example with the meaning of `` delete '' . Probably the most influential single device on the interpretation of these characters was the Teletype Model 33 ASR , which was a printing terminal with an available paper tape reader / punch option . Paper tape was a very popular medium for long - term program storage until the 1980s , less costly and in some ways less fragile than magnetic tape . In particular , the Teletype Model 33 machine assignments for codes 17 ( Control - Q , DC1 , also known as XON ) , 19 ( Control - S , DC3 , also known as XOFF ) , and 127 ( Delete ) became de facto standards . The Model 33 was also notable for taking the description of Control - G ( code 7 , BEL , meaning audibly alert the operator ) literally , as the unit contained an actual bell which it rang when it received a BEL character . Because the keytop for the O key also showed a left - arrow symbol ( from ASCII - 1963 , which had this character instead of underscore ) , a noncompliant use of code 15 ( Control - O , Shift In ) interpreted as `` delete previous character '' was also adopted by many early timesharing systems but eventually became neglected . When a Teletype 33 ASR equipped with the automatic paper tape reader received a Control - S ( XOFF , an abbreviation for transmit off ) , it caused the tape reader to stop ; receiving Control - Q ( XON , `` transmit on '' ) caused the tape reader to resume . This technique became adopted by several early computer operating systems as a `` handshaking '' signal warning a sender to stop transmission because of impending overflow ; it persists to this day in many systems as a manual output control technique . On some systems Control - S retains its meaning but Control - Q is replaced by a second Control - S to resume output . The 33 ASR also could be configured to employ Control - R ( DC2 ) and Control - T ( DC4 ) to start and stop the tape punch ; on some units equipped with this function , the corresponding control character lettering on the keycap above the letter was TAPE and TAPE respectively . The Teletype could not move the head backwards , so it did not put a key on the keyboard to send a BS ( backspace ) . Instead there was a key marked `` rubout '' that sent code 127 ( DEL ) . The purpose of this key was to erase mistakes in a hand - typed paper tape : the operator had to push a button on the tape punch to back it up , then type the rubout , which punched all holes and replaced the mistake with a character that was intended to be ignored . Teletypes were commonly used for the less - expensive computers from Digital Equipment Corporation , so these systems had to use the available key and thus the DEL code to erase the previous character . Because of this , DEC video terminals ( by default ) sent the DEL code for the key marked `` Backspace '' while the key marked `` Delete '' sent an escape sequence , while many other terminals sent BS for the Backspace key . The Unix terminal driver could only use one code to back up , this could be set to BS or DEL , but not both , resulting in a very long period of annoyance where you had to correct it depending on what terminal you were using ( modern shells using readline understand both codes ) . The assumption that no key sent a BS caused Control + H to be used for other purposes , such as a `` help '' command in Emacs . Many more of the control codes have been given meanings quite different from their original ones . The `` escape '' character ( ESC , code 27 ) , for example , was intended originally to allow sending other control characters as literals instead of invoking their meaning . This is the same meaning of `` escape '' encountered in URL encodings , C language strings , and other systems where certain characters have a reserved meaning . Over time this meaning has been co-opted and has eventually been changed . In modern use , an ESC sent to the terminal usually indicates the start of a command sequence usually in the form of a so - called `` ANSI escape code '' ( or , more properly , a `` Control Sequence Introducer '' ) from ECMA - 48 ( 1972 ) and its successors , beginning with ESC followed by a `` ( '' ( left - bracket ) character . An ESC sent from the terminal is most often used as an out - of - band character used to terminate an operation , as in the TECO and vi text editors . In graphical user interface ( GUI ) and windowing systems , ESC generally causes an application to abort its current operation or to exit ( terminate ) altogether . The inherent ambiguity of many control characters , combined with their historical usage , created problems when transferring `` plain text '' files between systems . The best example of this is the newline problem on various operating systems . Teletype machines required that a line of text be terminated with both `` Carriage Return '' ( which moves the printhead to the beginning of the line ) and `` Line Feed '' ( which advances the paper one line without moving the printhead ) . The name `` Carriage Return '' comes from the fact that on a manual typewriter the carriage holding the paper moved while the position where the typebars struck the ribbon remained stationary . The entire carriage had to be pushed ( returned ) to the right in order to position the left margin of the paper for the next line . DEC operating systems ( OS / 8 , RT - 11 , RSX - 11 , RSTS , TOPS - 10 , etc . ) used both characters to mark the end of a line so that the console device ( originally Teletype machines ) would work . By the time so - called `` glass TTYs '' ( later called CRTs or terminals ) came along , the convention was so well established that backward compatibility necessitated continuing the convention . When Gary Kildall created CP / M he was inspired by some command line interface conventions used in DEC 's RT - 11 . Until the introduction of PC DOS in 1981 , IBM had no hand in this because their 1970s operating systems used EBCDIC instead of ASCII and they were oriented toward punch - card input and line printer output on which the concept of carriage return was meaningless . IBM 's PC DOS ( also marketed as MS - DOS by Microsoft ) inherited the convention by virtue of being loosely based on CP / M , and Windows inherited it from MS - DOS . Unfortunately , requiring two characters to mark the end of a line introduces unnecessary complexity and questions as to how to interpret each character when encountered alone . To simplify matters plain text data streams , including files , on Multics used line feed ( LF ) alone as a line terminator . Unix and Unix - like systems , and Amiga systems , adopted this convention from Multics . The original Macintosh OS , Apple DOS , and ProDOS , on the other hand , used carriage return ( CR ) alone as a line terminator ; however , since Apple replaced these operating systems with the Unix - based macOS operating system , they now use line feed ( LF ) as well . The Radio Shack TRS - 80 also used a lone CR to terminate lines . Computers attached to the ARPANET included machines running operating systems such as TOPS - 10 and TENEX using CR - LF line endings , machines running operating systems such as Multics using LF line endings , and machines running operating systems such as OS / 360 that represented lines as a character count followed by the characters of the line and that used EBCDIC rather than ASCII . The Telnet protocol defined an ASCII `` Network Virtual Terminal '' ( NVT ) , so that connections between hosts with different line - ending conventions and character sets could be supported by transmitting a standard text format over the network . Telnet used ASCII along with CR - LF line endings , and software using other conventions would translate between the local conventions and the NVT . The File Transfer Protocol adopted the Telnet protocol , including use of the Network Virtual Terminal , for use when transmitting commands and transferring data in the default ASCII mode . This adds complexity to implementations of those protocols , and to other network protocols , such as those used for E-mail and the World Wide Web , on systems not using the NVT 's CR - LF line - ending convention . The PDP - 6 monitor , and its PDP - 10 successor TOPS - 10 , used Control - Z ( SUB ) as an end - of - file indication for input from a terminal . Some operating systems such as CP / M tracked file length only in units of disk blocks and used Control - Z to mark the end of the actual text in the file . For these reasons , EOF , or end - of - file , was used colloquially and conventionally as a three - letter acronym for Control - Z instead of SUBstitute . The end - of - text code ( ETX ) , also known as Control - C , was inappropriate for a variety of reasons , while using Z as the control code to end a file is analogous to it ending the alphabet and serves as a very convenient mnemonic aid . A historically common and still prevalent convention uses the ETX code convention to interrupt and halt a program via an input data stream , usually from a keyboard . In C library and Unix conventions , the null character is used to terminate text strings ; such null - terminated strings can be known in abbreviation as ASCIZ or ASCIIZ , where here Z stands for `` zero '' .

Printable characters ( edit ) Codes 20 to 7E , known as the printable characters , represent letters , digits , punctuation marks , and a few miscellaneous symbols . There are 95 printable characters in total . Code 20 , the `` space '' character , denotes the space between words , as produced by the space bar of a keyboard . Since the space character is considered an invisible graphic ( rather than a control character ) it is listed in the table below instead of in the previous section . Code 7F corresponds to the non-printable `` delete '' ( DEL ) control character and is therefore omitted from this chart ; it is covered in the previous section 's chart . Earlier versions of ASCII used the up arrow instead of the caret ( 5E ) and the left arrow instead of the underscore ( 5F ) .

TWX originally used the earlier five - bit ITA2 , which was also used by the competing Telex teleprinter system . Bob Bemer introduced features such as the escape sequence . His British colleague Hugh McGregor Ross helped to popularize this work -- according to Bemer , `` so much so that the code that was to become ASCII was first called the Bemer - Ross Code in Europe '' . Because of his extensive work on ASCII , Bemer has been called `` the father of ASCII '' . On March 11 , 1968 , U.S. President Lyndon B. Johnson mandated that all computers purchased by the United States federal government support ASCII , stating : I have also approved recommendations of the Secretary of Commerce regarding standards for recording the Standard Code for Information Interchange on magnetic tapes and paper tapes when they are used in computer operations . All computers and related equipment configurations brought into the Federal Government inventory on and after July 1 , 1969 , must have the capability to use the Standard Code for Information Interchange and the formats prescribed by the magnetic tape and paper tape standards when these media are used . ASCII was the most common character encoding on the World Wide Web until December 2007 , when UTF - 8 encoding surpassed it ; UTF - 8 is backward compatible with ASCII . Variants and derivations ( edit ) As computer technology spread throughout the world , different standards bodies and corporations developed many variations of ASCII to facilitate the expression of non-English languages that used Roman - based alphabets . One could class some of these variations as `` ASCII extensions '' , although some misuse that term to represent all variants , including those that do not preserve ASCII 's character - map in the 7 - bit range . Furthermore , the ASCII extensions have also been mislabelled as ASCII . 7 - bit codes ( edit ) Main articles : ECMA - 6 , ISO / IEC 646 , and ITU T. 50 See also : UTF - 7 From early in its development , ASCII was intended to be just one of several national variants of an international character code standard . Other international standards bodies have ratified character encodings such as ISO 646 ( 1967 ) that are identical or nearly identical to ASCII , with extensions for characters outside the English alphabet and symbols used outside the United States , such as the symbol for the United Kingdom 's pound sterling ( £ ) . Almost every country needed an adapted version of ASCII , since ASCII suited the needs of only the US and a few other countries . For example , Canada had its own version that supported French characters . Many other countries developed variants of ASCII to include non-English letters ( e.g. é , ñ , ß , Ł ) , currency symbols ( e.g. £ , ¥ ) , etc . See also YUSCII ( Yugoslavia ) . It would share most characters in common , but assign other locally useful characters to several code points reserved for `` national use '' . However , the four years that elapsed between the publication of ASCII - 1963 and ISO 's first acceptance of an international recommendation during 1967 caused ASCII 's choices for the national use characters to seem to be de facto standards for the world , causing confusion and incompatibility once other countries did begin to make their own assignments to these code points . ISO / IEC 646 , like ASCII , is a 7 - bit character set . It does not make any additional codes available , so the same code points encoded different characters in different countries . Escape codes were defined to indicate which national variant applied to a piece of text , but they were rarely used , so it was often impossible to know what variant to work with and , therefore , which character a code represented , and in general , text - processing systems could cope with only one variant anyway . Because the bracket and brace characters of ASCII were assigned to `` national use '' code points that were used for accented letters in other national variants of ISO / IEC 646 , a German , French , or Swedish , etc . programmer using their national variant of ISO / IEC 646 , rather than ASCII , had to write , and thus read , something such as ä aÄiÜ = ' Ön ' ; ü instead of ( a ( i ) = ' \ n ' ; ) C trigraphs were created to solve this problem for ANSI C , although their late introduction and inconsistent implementation in compilers limited their use . Many programmers kept their computers on US - ASCII , so plain - text in Swedish , German etc. ( for example , in e-mail or Usenet ) contained `` ( , ) '' and similar variants in the middle of words , something those programmers got used to . For example , a Swedish programmer mailing another programmer asking if they should go for lunch , could get `` N ( jag har sm rg ) sar '' as the answer , which should be `` Nä jag har smörgåsar '' meaning `` No I 've got sandwiches '' . 8 - bit codes ( edit ) Main articles : Extended ASCII and ISO / IEC 8859 See also : UTF - 8 Eventually , as 8 - , 16 - and 32 - bit ( and later 64 - bit ) computers began to replace 18 - and 36 - bit computers as the norm , it became common to use an 8 - bit byte to store each character in memory , providing an opportunity for extended , 8 - bit relatives of ASCII . In most cases these developed as true extensions of ASCII , leaving the original character - mapping intact , but adding additional character definitions after the first 128 ( i.e. , 7 - bit ) characters . Encodings include ISCII ( India ) , VISCII ( Vietnam ) . Although these encodings are sometimes referred to as ASCII , true ASCII is defined strictly only by the ANSI standard . Most early home computer systems developed their own 8 - bit character sets containing line - drawing and game glyphs , and often filled in some or all of the control characters from 0 to 31 with more graphics . Kaypro CP / M computers used the `` upper '' 128 characters for the Greek alphabet . The PETSCII code Commodore International used for their 8 - bit systems is probably unique among post-1970 codes in being based on ASCII - 1963 , instead of the more common ASCII - 1967 , such as found on the ZX Spectrum computer . Atari 8 - bit computers and Galaksija computers also used ASCII variants . The IBM PC defined code page 437 , which replaced the control characters with graphic symbols such as smiley faces , and mapped additional graphic characters to the upper 128 positions . Operating systems such as DOS supported these code pages , and manufacturers of IBM PCs supported them in hardware . Digital Equipment Corporation developed the Multinational Character Set ( DEC - MCS ) for use in the popular VT220 terminal as one of the first extensions designed more for international languages than for block graphics . The Macintosh defined Mac OS Roman and Postscript also defined a set , both of these contained both international letters and typographic punctuation marks instead of graphics , more like modern character sets . The ISO / IEC 8859 standard ( derived from the DEC - MCS ) finally provided a standard that most systems copied ( at least as accurately as they copied ASCII , but with many substitutions ) . A popular further extension designed by Microsoft , Windows - 1252 ( often mislabeled as ISO - 8859 - 1 ) , added the typographic punctuation marks needed for traditional text printing . ISO - 8859 - 1 , Windows - 1252 , and the original 7 - bit ASCII were the most common character encodings until 2008 when UTF - 8 became more common . ISO / IEC 4873 introduced 32 additional control codes defined in the 80 -- 9F hexadecimal range , as part of extending the 7 - bit ASCII encoding to become an 8 - bit system . Unicode ( edit ) Main articles : Unicode and ISO / IEC 10646 See also : Basic Latin ( Unicode block ) Unicode and the ISO / IEC 10646 Universal Character Set ( UCS ) have a much wider array of characters and their various encoding forms have begun to supplant ISO / IEC 8859 and ASCII rapidly in many environments . While ASCII is limited to 128 characters , Unicode and the UCS support more characters by separating the concepts of unique identification ( using natural numbers called code points ) and encoding ( to 8 - , 16 - or 32 - bit binary formats , called UTF - 8 , UTF - 16 and UTF - 32 ) . ASCII was incorporated into the Unicode ( 1991 ) character set as the first 128 symbols , so the 7 - bit ASCII characters have the same numeric codes in both sets . This allows UTF - 8 to be backward compatible with 7 - bit ASCII , as a UTF - 8 file containing only ASCII characters is identical to an ASCII file containing the same sequence of characters . Even more importantly , forward compatibility is ensured as software that recognizes only 7 - bit ASCII characters as special and does not alter bytes with the highest bit set ( as is often done to support 8 - bit ASCII extensions such as ISO - 8859 - 1 ) will preserve UTF - 8 data unchanged .

Depending on the horizontal or vertical representation of the character map , sticks correspond with either table rows or columns . Jump up ^ The Unicode characters from the area U + 2400 to U + 2421 reserved for representing control characters when it is necessary to print or display them rather than have them perform their intended function . Some browsers may not display these properly . Jump up ^ Caret notation is often used to represent control characters on a terminal . On most text terminals , holding down the Ctrl key while typing the second character will type the control character . Sometimes the shift key is not needed , for instance ^ @ may be typable with just Ctrl and 2 . Jump up ^ Character escape sequences in C programming language and many other languages influenced by it , such as Java and Perl ( though not all implementations necessarily support all escape sequences ) . Jump up ^ The Backspace character can also be entered by pressing the ← Backspace key on some systems . ^ Jump up to : The ambiguity of Backspace is due to early terminals designed assuming the main use of the keyboard would be to manually punch paper tape while not connected to a computer . To delete the previous character , one had to back up the paper tape punch , which for mechanical and simplicity reasons was a button on the punch itself and not the keyboard , then type the rubout character . They therefore placed a key producing rubout at the location used on typewriters for backspace . When systems used these terminals and provided command - line editing , they had to use the `` rubout '' code to perform a backspace , and often did not interpret the backspace character ( they might echo `` ^ H '' for backspace ) . Other terminals not designed for paper tape made the key at this location produce Backspace , and systems designed for these used that character to back up . Since the delete code often produced a backspace effect , this also forced terminal manufacturers to make any Delete key produce something other than the Delete character . Jump up ^ The Tab character can also be entered by pressing the Tab ↹ key on most systems . Jump up ^ The Carriage Return character can also be entered by pressing the ↵ Enter or Return key on most systems . Jump up ^ The \ e escape sequence is not part of ISO C and many other language specifications . However , it is understood by several compilers , including GCC . Jump up ^ The Escape character can also be entered by pressing the Esc key on some systems . Jump up ^ ^ ^ means Ctrl + ^ ( pressing the `` Ctrl '' and caret keys ) .

Some computer languages used characters in 1961 ASCII such as up arrow and left arrow . These characters disappeared from 1968 ASCII . We worked with Fred Mocking , who by now was in Sales at Teletype , on a type cylinder that would compromise the changing characters so that the meanings of 1961 ASCII were not totally lost . The underscore character was made rather wedge - shaped so it could also serve as a left arrow .

Contents ( hide ) 1 Background 2 The expedition 3 See also 4 References 5 External links Background ( edit ) In 1810 , Father Miguel Hidalgo y Costilla began a revolt against the Royalist Spanish in Mexico , which would initiate the Mexican War of Independence . Likewise , in 1811 , Juan Bautista de las Casas led a revolt against Spain at San Antonio , capturing the Spanish governor . The Spanish struck back , however , crushing the revolt . Governor Manuel María de Salcedo was restored to power . Father Hidalgo was executed in July , in Chihuahua , while de las Casas and his associates were executed in August . The remaining rebels then turned to the United States for help . Bernardo Gutiérrez de Lara , a blacksmith from Nuevo Santander , traveled to Washington , D.C. , but he received little more than an assurance that the U.S. would not interfere with his plans . After trying the U.S. government 's patience , he entertained the idea of a filibuster , consulting as many as would listen , including his cousin Guerro Caja de las Casas . They both traveled to Louisiana , to seek support for their filibuster . They met with Governor William C.C. Claiborne and William Shaler in New Orleans . The expedition ( edit ) Solid green flag of the expedition which represented the Irish heritage of co-leader Augustus Magee Gutiérrez gained the support of Augustus Magee and formed a force of 130 men at Natchitoches , Louisiana . In early August , The men then crossed into Spanish Texas and captured the town of Nacogdoches . In Texas their numbers increased to 300 , and they proceeded to take the town of Santísima Trinidad de Salcedo ( located on the east bank of the Trinity River at Spanish Bluff , ten miles downriver from the present Highway 31 crossing ) , on September 13 . Their success would push them on ; they traveled southward , to conquer the next Spanish stronghold . The Spanish governor Manuel María de Salcedo , with about 800 men , was patrolling the Guadalupe River area , in search of the revolutionaries . He later found them on the lower San Antonio River at Goliad . They had easily taken and were controlling the Spanish fort there , Presidio La Bahia . Magee was besieged for four months . He negotiated with the Spanish military leaders and considered surrendering , but he finally decided to fight . However , Magee 's army lost confidence in him , and discord spread among the republican leaders . Magee died on February 6 , 1813 , following a long illness , and Samuel Kemper succeeded to the command . Captain John McFarland was sent to find new recruits : volunteers from Nacogdoches , Spanish army defectors , and a few Coushatta Indians joined in . Kemper beat back the governor 's attacks . On February 10 and 13 , Kemper successfully defeated Salcedo , who retreated toward San Antonio on February 19 . In March , Kemper 's forces again swelled , by some 500 men . The expedition would pursue the Spanish , now in Bexar . Joining the Republican Army in the pursuit to San Antonio were volunteers , consisting of Americans , Tejanos , former Spanish soldiers , and Lipan and Tonkawa Indians . On March 29 , they defeated Simón de Herrera 's Spanish army of 1,200 men , at the Battle of Rosillo Creek ( Salado Creek ) . Governor Salcedo surrendered on April 1 , 1813 . Gutiérrez suggested the prisoners be sent to the United States for safe keeping . But , as the prisoners were marched out of town by Captain Antonio Delgado , they were halted , tied to trees and killed . On April 17 , the Republican Army drafted a declaration of independence of the state of Texas as part of the Mexican Republic and adopted a solid `` Green Flag '' for a banner . Gutiérrez declared himself governor of the new state . Because of poor judgement , Gutiérrez would lose the confidence of Kemper and the other Americans . His proclamation , and allowing the execution of the Spanish governor and other officials , proved to be too much . Kemper ended up quitting and led about 100 Americans back to Louisiana and took no further part . The republicans looked for a new leader . Colonel Ignacio Elizondo and General José Joaquín de Arredondo took charge of the Spanish effort to secure Texas . Elizondo laid siege to San Antonio with 900 men . Without Kemper 's leadership , the rebels suffered from internal divisions . First Reuben Ross took command , but was unsupported and dropped to second in command . The job next fell to United States Colonel Henry Perry . On June 20 , Perry routed Elizondo 's troops in a dawn attack , at the Battle of Alazan Creek , once again freeing the Spanish hold on San Antonio . The splintered Spanish Army would have to regroup . The success of the Republican Army began to stir additional support . Now interested in the conflict was José Álvarez de Toledo y Dubois , who had been consulted at the beginning of the filibuster . He proceeded into San Antonio on August 1 , with the desire to take charge of the Texians and confront Arredondo . Advising was United States special agent William Shaler . Shaler and José Álvarez de Toledo teamed up and initiated a propaganda campaign against organizer Gutiérrez . The Americans , convinced that Gutiérrez was not concerned with their interests , threatened to leave unless Gutiérrez was replaced . Gutiérrez exited for Natchitoches on August 6 , which ultimately saved his life . In his absence , Toledo took charge . The Republican Army 's dissension persisted . Some Texians liked their new leader , while others did n't . Toledo wanted to fight the Spanish in Bexar , but was persuaded by Perry and San Antonians to spare the city and march out to surprise the Spanish . Colonel José Menchaca ( a former Spanish officer , now leader of the Tejanos ) , being opposed to Toledo as their leader , instigated discord , slowing Álvarez de Toledo 's advance against the Spanish . The Republican leader , Toledo was not able to make his move upon the Royalists until August 15 . This situation would end up badly for the Texans . Even though they had decisively won at the battle of Alazán and now had a large force , ( composed of 1,400 Americans , Tejanos , Spanish , Indians , and blacks ) , they would suffer a crushing defeat on August 18 , 1813 , at the Battle of Medina . Toledo had planned on surprising the Spanish , but when he moved upon them it turned into an unintentional ambush . Toledo tried to turn the men around , but Colonel José Menchaca had chosen to fight till the death . By chasing what appeared to be the main body of the Spaniards , they would end up surrounded . For in the meantime , Arredondo and Elizondo had reorganized a force of 1,800 and were ready to fight . The Gutiérrez - Magee expedition ended with a terrible loss of some 1,300 men . Toledo and a few of the men were able to flee to the United States . Spanish officials recaptured San Antonio and conducted a brutal reprisal , executing over 300 people . The situation in Nacogdoches was hardly any better , where they were brutally purging the rebels . On September 12 , however , Elizondo 's ruthlessness was ended , when he was assassinated by one of his own officers . The repercussions and vengeance of the Spanish caused many to flee Texas , and they would never fully come to trust the Spanish royal family again . San Antonio natives and future signers of the 1836 Texas Declaration of Independence José Francisco Ruiz and José Antonio Navarro were among those who fled Texas . Texas would remain a hot spot for revolution and filibusters for years to come .

( September 2013 ) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message ) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message ) King of the Hill is an American animated sitcom created by Mike Judge and Greg Daniels . The main characters are Hank Hill , Peggy Hill , Bobby Hill , Luanne Platter , Dale Gribble , Bill Dauterive , Jeff Boomhauer , Kahn Souphanousinphone , and Elroy `` Lucky '' Kleinschmidt . Contents ( hide ) 1 Main characters 2 Other Hill , Platter , and Kleinschmidt relatives 3 Other Gribbles 4 Other Dauterives 5 Other Boomhauers 6 Souphanousinphones 7 Strickland Propane 8 Tom Landry Middle School 9 Arlen VFW 10 Other recurring characters 11 Other characters 12 References 13 External links Main characters ( edit ) Henry `` Hank '' Rutherford Hill ( voiced by Mike Judge ) -- Hank is the main protagonist who proudly sells `` propane and propane accessories '' as the assistant manager at Strickland Propane , and throughout the entire series always makes a big deal about the job when everybody around Hank finds his occupation boring . He resembles -- in both voice and appearance -- the Tom Anderson character from Beavis and Butthead , a character also voiced by Judge . Hank is generally a well - meaning father , but is often confused and anxious towards modern trends and the antics of his friends and family members . He suffers from a narrow urethra , which made Bobby 's conception difficult . Hank is uncomfortable with public displays of intimacy with his wife and son . He has a very difficult time saying `` I love you '' to any member of his family , as he thinks it is unmanly . Hank 's trademark exclamation when surprised or in times of discomfort ( sounding like `` Bahh ! '' or `` Bwaaa ! '' ) and his phrase `` I tell you what '' ( `` what '' in his dialect being pronounced / ˈhwʌt / ) are running gags on the series . Hank is a byproduct of a bygone era , nevertheless the qualities are principled ; ever faithful , friendly , firm , reasonable , well - read and hard working . Much of the series revolves around Hank 's desire to do the right thing compared to much of the rest of the people around him who would rather cheat , lie or exploit . Hank is a proud Texan , having grown up there . He was , however , born in a ladies room at Yankee Stadium , and spent the first three days of his life in New York City . Margaret J. `` Peggy '' Platter Hill ( voiced by Kathy Najimy ) -- Hank 's wife , Peggy ( née Platter ) , was born in Montana and raised on her family 's cattle ranch . Her strained relationship with her mother is a source of drama for her . Peggy is a substitute teacher in Arlen , Texas , specializing in teaching Spanish despite having a poor grasp of the language . Peggy is also a freelance newspaper columnist , notary public , an exemplary softball pitcher and a Boggle champion and has started a career in real estate . She has a habit of adding or changing ingredients to ordinary dishes then naming them after herself . `` Spa - Peggy & Meatballs '' and `` Apple Brown Peggy '' are examples . Peggy is very self - conscious about her larger - than - normal feet ( size 16 1⁄2 on the left , 16 on the right ) . Despite boasting of her intelligence , she has been the victim of manipulation , such as being conned out of $2,500 for a phony degree , indoctrinated into a homogenous cult , and tricked into a pyramid scheme selling Herbalife inspired products . She has brown hair and typically wears glasses , an aquamarine sleeveless shirt , and denim culottes , but often wears different outfits . Robert Jeffrey `` Bobby '' Hill ( voiced by Pamela Adlon ) -- Hank and Peggy 's husky 13 - year - old son and best friend to Joseph and Connie . Although friendly , gentle , lovable , and generally well - liked , he is not very bright and often prone to making bad decisions . He wants to be a famous prop comic and move to New York when he is older . Bobby displays little interest in gender roles and , although superb at golf and target shooting , dislikes team sports , often taking such classes as Home Economics and Peer Counseling , instead of more traditionally `` masculine classes '' . Although many ( including Hank ) tend to typify him as `` not right '' , he is romantically successful , dating Connie and other girls throughout the series . Dale Alvin Gribble A.K.A. `` Rusty Shackleford '' ( voiced by Johnny Hardwick ) -- Dale is the Hills ' chain - smoking neighbor who is also an insect exterminator among various self - appointed occupations . His physical appearance was modeled after Hunter S. Thompson . His greatest expertise lies in his knowledge of conspiracy theories and loopholes . Dale is paranoid about any government activity and frequently uses the alias of Rusty Shackleford to operate anonymously including having received unemployment payments from said alias . Dale is the president of the Arlen gun club and a licensed bounty hunter . He possesses a vast collection of guns from pistols to automatic weapons and is an ardent defender of Second Amendment rights . Despite being a firearms aficionado , his aim is relatively poor and despite being knowledgeable in military matters , he is physically the weakest of the main cast and is an abject physical coward . He is an avid UFOlogist . Dale remains oblivious to the fact that his wife , Nancy , has cheated on him with John Redcorn for fourteen years and his son Joseph is not actually his biological son . Everyone else knows but chooses not to tell him because of his total obliviousness , the loving , trusting relationship he has with Joseph and Nancy , and the fact that Dale is more of a father to Joseph than John Redcorn is , although it is implied in one of the last scenes of the final episode that Dale found out somehow and is rather unconcerned , leading to the possibility he either knew all along , Nancy told him , or he found out through other means . Hank considers Dale a close friend , but he often gets annoyed with his schemes and conspiracies . Sgt . William `` Bill '' Fontaine de La Tour Dauterive ( voiced by Stephen Root ) -- Bill is the Hills ' overweight , divorced , clinically depressed neighbor . He grew up in Louisiana with his cousin Gilbert and speaks French and English . He was formerly a rugged and attractive star lineman on Arlen High 's football team , nicknamed the `` Billdozer '' , and is now a sergeant barber in the United States Army . While his job mostly consists of shaving recruits , he is in fact an extremely talented barber able to replicate Hank 's signature flattop when his barber he had known for 20 years was becoming senile . Bill once had a bright future in the Army wanting to be a tanker , but ended up ruining his life after marrying the promiscuous Lenore . Bill is something of a masochist and is often attracted to people who abuse him ; after suffering under his father and Lenore , Bill has an almost complete lack of self - worth . He obsesses about his ex-wife , and his loneliness is a running gag on the series . He frequently tries to flirt with and win over Peggy . Despite coming across as a loser , however , Bill has enjoyed several romantic successes ( or near - successes ) , including Kahn 's and Luanne 's mothers , former Texas governor Ann Richards , and the young widows of two of his dead cousins . He is named after executive producer and writer Jim Dauterive . Jeffrey Dexter `` Jeff '' Boomhauer III ( voiced by Mike Judge ) -- Often referred to as his surname , Boomhauer is a slim womanizer whose mutterings are hard to understand to the audience but easily understood by his friends . A running joke is when his friends fail to understand him for some reason other than his incoherence . His speech is usually heavily littered with the phrases , `` dang '' and `` dang ol ' '' . Boomhauer can mumble his words , but he sings clearly and speaks other languages clearly ( mainly French and Spanish ) . Boomhauer is a classic - car aficionado and owns a 1969 Dodge Coronet Super Bee ( in high school he owned a late 1960s Ford Mustang nicknamed `` Ms. Sally '' ) , and , despite his incoherent ramblings and womanizing , often displays himself to be more intelligent and philosophical than his three friends . Although hinted at previously , in episode 18 of season 13 , his first name is finally revealed when a Canadian woman who lives next door to the family who trades houses with him for the summer calls him `` Jeff '' , and the driver 's license shown in the series finale reads `` Boomhauer , Jeff '' . Throughout the series it is never known what he does for a living , although it was revealed in an early episode that he was an electrical engineer but was on workers compensation . At the end of the series finale , a badge seen in his open wallet reveals that he is a Texas Ranger . Luanne Leanne Platter Kleinschmidt ( voiced by Brittany Murphy ) -- Luanne ( née Platter ) is the Hills ' college - age niece , daughter of Peggy 's scheming paternal twin brother Hoyt and his alcoholic ex-wife Leanne . Luanne moves in with the Hills after her mother Leanne stabs Hoyt with a fork during a drunken fight which tips over their trailer . Hank initially makes frequent attempts to encourage Luanne to move out on her own , but later more - or-less accepts her as a member of the family . She was a student at the beauty academy and later at Arlen Community College . She was often portrayed as an airhead , but was shown to be an expert mechanic in the first two seasons and is good at logic puzzles . Luanne was promiscuous , but she settles down after being visited by the spirit of her first boyfriend , the slacker Buckley , whom she calls `` Buckley 's angel '' ; and then attending a church - sponsored `` born - again virgin '' program and starts a Bible study class . Luanne created a puppet show entitled `` The Manger Babies '' for a Public - access television cable TV station , featuring the barnyard animals who witnessed Christ 's birth ( though they included a penguin and an octopus ) . In the 10th - season finale , Luanne revealed that she was pregnant with the child of Lucky , whom she married in the 11th - season finale . In the 13th and final season , she has a baby girl named Gracie Margaret Kleinschmidt . She wears a green sleeveless shirt and red capris , and appears to be about 5'6 '' ( 1.68 m ) . Other Hill , Platter , and Kleinschmidt relatives ( edit ) Ladybird Hill -- The Hills ' thirteen - year - old purebred Georgia Bloodhound named after the First Lady of the United States Lady Bird Johnson . It 's said that her mother helped track down James Earl Ray , as revealed by Hank in episode 7 of season 1 titled `` Westie Side Story '' . Her companionship temporarily relieved Hank 's stress ( and narrow urethra ) , allowing him to impregnate Peggy . Later on in the series Ladybird would become deaf and despite much effort on Hank 's part , would never bear puppies because of her narrow uterus . Col. Cotton Lyndal Hill ( voiced by Toby Huss ) -- Hank 's cantankerous father , with a hair - trigger temper . Despite his many shortcomings , he occasionally showed a softer side , for example in the episode `` Cotton 's Plot '' where he helped Peggy learn to walk again after her parachuting accident . His shins were blown off in World War II by a `` Japan man 's machine gun '' and his feet were reattached to his knees , resulting in a short height and stilted gait . Despite his disability , he eventually reached the rank of colonel in the state militia . After Cotton and his first wife Tillie , Hank 's mother , divorced , he married a much younger , soft - spoken , busty blonde candy striper named Didi who gave birth to his youngest son `` G.H. '' ( `` Good Hank '' ) . He was immensely proud of his military service . Though his claim of fighting `` nazzies '' ( Nazis ) was proven false and his claim of killing `` fitty ( fifty ) men '' was dubious , his participation in several of the bloodiest battles in the Pacific Theater was confirmed and his uniform was shown to be decorated with the Medal of Honor and the Purple Heart . Cotton himself died in episode # 1218 , `` Death Picks Cotton '' , after suffering severe burns and an allergic reaction to shrimp during a flashback at a Japanese restaurant . Didi Hill ( voiced by Ashley Gardner ) -- Didi is Cotton 's second wife and a candy striper after she retired from being an exotic dancer . She has breast implants and suffers from postpartum depression following the birth of Cotton 's third son `` G.H. '' She is generally depicted as docile and unintelligent , although she is a certified optometry assistant . She was absent at the time of Cotton 's death and was only seen once more , where she says she is engaged and will remarry . Didi was a classmate of Hank 's in Kindergarten ( indicating they are the same age ) . Good Hank Jeffrey `` G.H. '' Hill -- G.H. is Cotton 's and Didi 's infant son , and the younger of Hank 's two half - brothers . G.H. is an abbreviation for `` Good Hank , '' implying that the original Hank was unsatisfactory to his father . Cotton treats G.H. much better than Hank presumably because Cotton sees him as being his second chance of being a better father than he was for Hank . G.H. was key at a time when Hank had to convince Cotton not to end his life as well as to permit Hank to give his father money for the baby 's sake ( and as payback for the years Cotton raised him ) . G.H. was absent at the time of his father 's death , and is not seen throughout the rest of the series , although it is presumed he is living with his mother and stepfather . Matilda `` Tillie '' Mae Hill Garrison ( voiced by Tammy Wynette in 1997 -- 1998 , Beth Grant in 1999 , and K Callan in 2000 -- 2009 ) -- Tillie is Cotton 's first wife and Hank 's mother . She divorced Cotton after suffering years of verbal abuse . Tillie is a kind woman who collects miniatures because they made her happy during Cotton 's abuse . Hank is often over-protective of her , fearing she is too old and fragile to go out and do things on her own . Tillie lives in Arizona with her husband Chuck , having formerly lived with her Jewish boyfriend Gary ( voiced by Carl Reiner ) . Tillie 's legal name varies during the series . She is listed as `` Tillie '' on Hank 's birth certificate , but is addressed as Matilda by the clergyman during her wedding to Chuck . Elroy `` Lucky '' Kleinschmidt ( voiced by Tom Petty ) -- Lucky is Luanne 's itinerant , but generally benign redneck husband , and is the father of Luanne 's child . It is often hard for Lucky to hold down a job ( he has no credit or Social Security number ) . He lives on the remainder of the $53,000 `` settlement monies '' he received after `` slipping on pee - pee at the Costco '' having had a portion of his spine fused . He was nicknamed `` Lucky '' after the settlement windfall . After he spent a majority of his money customizing his truck , his finances dwindled down to nine thousand dollars but regained another $53,000 when an ambulance chasing lawyer paid off Lucky to avoid a lawsuit . Peggy tried very hard to break him and Luanne apart , but after Luanne 's pregnancy was revealed , she and Hank reconciled the two , giving them a shotgun wedding at Lucky 's request . He is also one of the guitarists for John Redcorn 's band `` Big Mountain Fudgecake '' . Although dimwitted in some aspects , Lucky has learned some facets such as basic math through life experience as opposed to formal education , and was astute enough to deduce that his father - in - law spent time in jail whereas Luanne believed the story that he works on an oil rig . He yearned to receive his GED but only to prove he was good enough to marry Luanne . Gracie Margaret Kleinschmidt -- Daughter of Lucky and Luanne . She was born in the season 13 episode `` Lucky See , Monkey Do '' . Luanne originally wanted to name her Lasagna ( stating that lasagna was their favorite food ) while under the influence of hospital analgesics , but choosing a more conventional name after she had recovered . Myrna Kleinschmidt ( voiced by Paget Brewster ) -- Myrna is Lucky 's sister , Luanne 's sister - in - law , Gracie 's aunt , and the main antagonist in `` Lucky See , Monkey Do '' . She is an intelligent , modern mother who only appears in the episode `` Lucky See , Monkey Do '' . She has two children , one son and one daughter ( Gracie 's paternal first cousins ) and raises them in strict accordance with contemporary parenting practices , something which leads her into a rivalry with Peggy , whose parenting skills are from older schools of thought , over how to assist Luanne as her pregnancy due date approaches . When Luanne goes into labor , Myrna commandeers the situation and insists that Luanne have a natural , drug - free water birth , but under Hank 's encouragement to think for themselves about how to raise their child , Luanne and Lucky opt for a hospital birth instead . Leanne Platter ( voiced by Pamela Adlon ) -- Leanne , Luanne 's violent alcoholic mother , was imprisoned for `` second - degree assaulting '' her husband in the back with a fork . Though she is often mentioned during the course of the series , she appears only in the episode `` Leanne 's Saga , '' visiting Luanne in Arlen after her release from prison and briefly being courted by Bill Dauterive . Hoyt Platter ( voiced by Johnny Knoxville ) -- Hoyt is Luanne 's father , Peggy 's twin brother and Leanne 's ex-husband . Despite Luanne 's beliefs , he never worked on an oil rig , but was in jail for most of Luanne 's life , with the oil rig story acting as a cover so Luanne would n't know her father was a convict . He appears in only one episode : `` Life : A Loser 's Manual '' . After being released from jail , Hoyt commits a robbery and tricks Lucky into taking the blame , but he eventually confesses and is sentenced to life in prison under a three - strikes law . The episode `` Leanne 's Saga '' reveals that Hoyt was planning on marrying a pharmacist girl before Leanne , then working as a stripper , entertained at his bachelor party . Maddy Platter ( voiced by Joanna Gleason ) -- Maddy Platter is Peggy 's and Hoyt 's mother and Bobby 's and Luanne 's grandmother . Mother Platter lives in Montana with her son Hoyt . She is an old - fashioned , tough - as - nails rancher type and loathes Peggy for deserting the family ranch and not marrying a local neighbor boy . Strangely , earlier episode flashbacks feature a totally different `` Peggy 's mother '' character , who is essentially an older version of Peggy - it is not made clear if one is her real mother and one is her stepmother , or if the `` Maddy '' mother character retconned the older version completely . Doc Platter -- Doc is Peggy 's father . He makes only a single major appearance when Peggy , Bobby and Hank visit the family ranch . He seems to be going somewhat senile and preachy , which Hank misinterprets as old - fashion Western - style wisdom . Junichiro ( voiced by David Carradine ) -- Junichiro is Hank 's elder half - Japanese half - brother who has lived in Japan all his life . Hank and Junichiro have the same father , due to Cotton 's affair with a Japanese nurse during his war days , and share many similarities in appearance and mannerisms ( this in spite of the fact that Hank actually shares more of his mother 's features ) ; one of these is that when he is shocked , like Hank , he yells `` BWAH ! '' Like Hank , Junichiro also has a narrow urethra and is an assistant manager at the company for which he works , making robots and robot accessories . Dusty Hill ( Himself ) -- The bassist / vocalist for the band ZZ Top and Hank 's cousin . In the episode `` Hank Gets Dusted , '' Cotton gives his prized Cadillac to Dusty without allowing Hank a chance to buy it . Dusty enters the car in a demolition derby in which it is badly damaged . Hank and Dusty make their peace after Dusty has the car repaired and installed at the Cadillac Ranch . Other gribbles ( edit ) Nancy Hicks - Gribble ( voiced by Ashley Gardner ) -- Nancy ( née Hicks ) is Dale 's wife , Joseph 's mother , and weather - girl - turned - anchor for local news station Channel 84 . She had a fourteen - year affair with John Redcorn , which produced her son , Joseph , although she eventually broke off the affair and became a faithful wife to Dale . Redcorn refused to come back to her out of respect for Dale . Her mother Bunny was similarly unfaithful to Nancy 's father , but did not reveal her own long - term affair until Nancy began suffering from stress - induced hair loss over her unresolved feelings for John Redcorn . Nancy is a former beauty queen , a fact which helped her get her job as a news anchor . Joseph John Gribble ( voiced by Brittany Murphy in 1997 - 2000 , Breckin Meyer in 2000 - 2009 ) -- Dale and Nancy 's 13 - year - old son and one of Bobby 's best friends . Despite Joseph 's obvious Native American features , his similarity in appearance to John Redcorn , and the fact that his middle name is `` John , '' neither he nor Dale is aware that Redcorn is his biological father ( Nancy refers to Dale having a `` Jamaican grandmother '' to explain Joseph 's dark complexion ) . Redcorn 's occasional and awkward attempts to get closer to Joseph ( against Nancy 's wishes ) lead Joseph to regard him as strange and creepy . Joseph starts out as an ordinary teen , but eventually grows weird and creepy -- not to mention dim - witted . Joseph begins to take after Dale more than John , Nancy or even any of his friends . Joseph has a half - sister named Kate ( by John Redcorn having another affair ) , who is very similar to Joseph in personality and interests but likewise does not realize that Redcorn is their father . Joseph is the only character of the series shown to physically mature , having grown six inches in height over the course of a summer , a more built physique , athletic prowess and having a deeper voice and a wispy mustache upon his reappearance . Bug Gribble ( voiced by David Herman ) -- Bug is Dale 's father , who had been estranged from Dale for many years for kissing Nancy at her and Dale 's wedding reception . Bug is actually gay and had been flirting with a Filipino caterer instead , and , upon sensing Dale 's imminent entry into the room , attempted to hide his orientation from his son by grabbing and kissing ' the nearest thing in a dress ' . This misunderstanding , and Bug 's inability to reveal his true sexuality to Dale , resulted in their estrangement . When Dale and Nancy renew their wedding vows 20 years afterward , Nancy arranges to invite Bug , and Dale initially suspects his odd behavior and his having a `` partner '' of meaning that Bug is an undercover government agent , but finally accepts the truth upon seeing Bug and his partner share a devoted kiss . Bug 's appearance in `` My Own Private Rodeo '' retcons his appearance in earlier episodes , where he bears a near - identicality to present - day Dale . Other Dauterives ( edit ) Gilbert Fontaine Dauterive ( voiced by David Herman ) -- Gilbert ( pronounced `` zhil - BEAR '' ) is Bill 's cousin . Though at one point shown to live on the family estate with his aunt and cousin in a Louisiana bayou in `` A Beer Can Named Desire '' , he and Bill eventually wind up as the last two living Dauterives . It is strongly implied that he is gay , and he even hits on Buck Strickland when Buck attempts to capitalize on the Dauterive family 's traditional barbecue sauce recipe in `` Blood and Sauce '' . Esmé Dauterive ( voiced by Meryl Streep ) - Esmé was Bill and Gilbert 's aunt , and matriarch of the Dauterive clan . She expressed deep concern over the family 's ever - shrinking headcount , lamenting that `` the Dauterive blood is down to a trickle '' . She happily received Bill upon his return for a visit and was not displeased to see him and his cousins ' widows taking mutual interest . She is only seen in `` A Beer Can Named Desire '' ; it is later revealed that she had died after a fever . Violetta Dauterive ( voiced by Natalie Maines ) -- Violetta was Bill and Gilbert 's cousin . She lived on the family estate in Louisiana with Esmé , Gilbert , and Rose and Lily , the widows of two other Dauterive cousins . Upon Bill 's visit she , Rose , and Lily , all having been without male companionship for too long , vied for Bill 's affections and attempted to seduce him , even despite Violetta 's own blood relation to him . Like Esmé , she is only seen in `` A Beer Can Named Desire '' ; it is later revealed that she had died in her sleep . Lenore Dauterive ( voiced by Ellen Barkin ) -- Lenore is Bill 's mean - spirited ex-wife . She is mentioned frequently throughout the course of the series , but only appears twice -- once being when Bill and Bobby watch Bill 's wedding video . She appears when Bill begins dating former Texas Governor Ann Richards to meddle with their relationship in `` Hank and the Great Glass Elevator '' , but with help from Richards , Bill is finally able to tell her off and move past her toxic influence . Eric Dauterive ( voiced by Stephen Root ) -- Bill 's implicitly - deceased father , who was said to be an abusive man and a heavy drinker , and is largely responsible for Bill 's emotional instability . Among the abuses Bill recalls from his father are having been spanked every day between the ages of 9 and 16 , being called a girl and made to wear `` pretty , pretty dresses '' , and being locked in a rabbit hutch . Other Boomhauers ( edit ) Patch Boomhauer ( voiced by Brad Pitt ) -- Patch is Boomhauer 's sleazy , womanizing younger brother . He appears in `` Patch Boomhauer '' , apparently engaged to marry Boomhauer 's old flame , Katherine - much to Boomhauer 's mounting displeasure , as he himself has unresolved feelings for Katherine , and Patch 's continued philandering angers him for her sake . The wedding is later called off after Patch hires strippers for his bachelor party and frames Boomhauer for trying to break up the engagement . Patch makes a final cameo in `` Lucky 's Wedding Suit '' as one of the guests at Luanne and Lucky 's wedding . Patch , like Boomhauer , speaks in a fast - paced Southern gibberish . Dr. and Mrs. Boomhauer ( voiced by Mike Judge ) - Boomhauer 's parents . Mrs. Boomhauer is shown to speak like Boomhauer in `` Peggy 's Turtle Song '' . In `` Three Coaches and a Bobby '' , Boomhauer mentions that his parents had won the lottery and moved to Florida . `` Mee - Maw '' Boomhauer ( voiced by Mike Judge ) - Boomhauer 's elderly grandmother . She is seen in `` Dang Ol ' Love '' , when Boomhauer , infatuated with Marlene , goes to Mee - Maw to ask for a family - heirloom wedding ring as well as `` Lucky 's Wedding Suit '' , where she is seen sitting with the other guests as well as dancing with Patch for a brief moment . Mee - Maw speaks in the same characteristic gibberish that the rest of the Boomhauers share . Souphanousinphones ( edit ) Kohng Koy `` Kahn '' Souphanousinphone ( voiced by Toby Huss ) -- Kahn is Hank 's materialistic , Laotian next - door neighbor and main antagonist . He believes he is better than his neighbors , often referring to them as `` hillbillies '' or `` rednecks '' . He frequently boasts of his superiority to the others and dreams of being far more successful than Ted Wassanasong . Despite his arrogant attitude , Kahn seeks approval and friendship from his down - to - earth neighbors , who are accepting and tolerant of his ways . He previously worked for a defense contractor that manufactured composite ceramic armor , but was fired for spilling company secrets . After a string of job failures ( due to his attitude ) he found a new job forcing him to commute . Upon recollection of the story of how Minh and Kahn met , it is revealed that he was a former rebel and playboy whom Minh chose over the straight - laced intellectual her father set her up with . In one episode , Kahn shows that he is a trained martial artist while getting into a fight with a few rednecks . In the episode `` Just Another Manic Kahn - Day '' , it is revealed that Kahn has bipolar disorder ( which was also mentioned in the earlier episode `` Lost in Myspace '' ) . It is revealed in the episode `` Three Days of the Kahndo '' that Kahn has a brother also living in the US with a family of his own . Minh Souphanousinphone ( voiced by Lauren Tom ) -- Kahn 's wife . Minh is a housewife who enjoys making rude comments about the neighbors , particularly Peggy . She sometimes has a snobbish attitude toward the neighbors , but is overall a more understanding parent and better neighbor than Kahn . She is a crack shot , with championship - level skills , and at one point joined Dale 's gun club , exerting a positive effect on its members . She is highly competitive , going so far as to cheat on The New York Times crossword puzzle . Like her husband , Minh grew up in Laos , where her father was a powerful general in the army who was not happy with her decision to marry Kahn . She once told Nancy Gribble that she did n't grow up oppressed , rather because of her father 's high ranking position in the army , she `` was peasants ' worse nightmare '' , pointing to being a bully in her youth . She once unsuccessfully tried to teach Bobby the Laotian language . Kahn `` Connie '' Souphanousinphone , Jr. ( voiced by Lauren Tom ) -- Connie is the American - born daughter of Kahn and Minh . She is one of Bobby 's best friends and for a time his girlfriend . She is a violin player , `` A '' student , and general overachiever pressured by her mother and father , who hold her to very high standards . Though it is implied that she works hard because of her overbearing parents , in reality , she does it for herself . Connie is named after her egomaniacal father because he wanted a son . Doggie Kahn -- Doggie Kahn ( often referred to simply as `` Doggie '' ) is their West Highland White Terrier . Tid Pao Souphanousinphone ( voiced by Lucy Liu ) -- Tid Pao is Connie 's criminally - inclined cousin from Los Angeles and the main antagonist in `` Bad Girls , Bad Girls , Whatcha Gonna Do '' , who was sent to stay at Kahn 's for a semester because she stole drugs from a street gang . She attended Tom Landry Middle School in the meantime . She seduced Bobby and tricked him into creating a meth lab by pretending to help him with building a candy machine for his group science project , and persuaded him to steal propane tanks from Strickland Propane to complete it . Tid Pao was caught by Connie and she was sent away by Kahn to Wisconsin to work on her last uncle 's dairy farm at the end of the episode because of her criminally - inclined nature . There her uncle told her she was on her last chance as he was the last relative left in America . Any more trouble would see her shipped off to live with her grandmother in Laos . Laoma Souphanousinphone ( voiced by Amy Hill ) -- Laoma is Kahn 's mother and the only person on the show who addresses him by his full name . She is kind and hardworking and enjoys housekeeping . She is disliked by Minh because of her criticism of Minh 's housework skills . The status - conscious Kahn is horrified when Laoma , bored and unwanted by her daughter - in - law , becomes the Hills ' housemaid , and even more horrified when she begins a love affair with Bill Dauterive . Laoma has not been seen since her first episode , mainly because the creators nixed the original plan for her and Bill to become a regular couple , preferring for Bill to remain his usual single and miserable self . General Gum ( voiced by James Sie ) -- Usually referred to as `` The General , '' ( his full name is Gum Nga Hexumalayasabrath ) he appeared only in the episodes `` Pour Some Sugar on Kahn '' ( in which he visits the family ) and `` Father of the Bribe '' ( in which Minh recalls her courtship by Kahn ) . He is Minh 's father and greatly dislikes Kahn . He served under several Laotian dictators and was put on trial for war crimes at The Hague . Strickland Propane ( edit ) Buck Strickland ( voiced by Stephen Root ) -- Buck is the slightly overweight , balding , over-the - hill owner of Strickland Propane , and Hank 's boss . His physical appearance greatly resembles Lyndon Johnson , particularly his hairline , and he has a habit of hosting employee discussions in his bathroom -- a habit of Johnson . Originally hailing from Arkansas , Buck was historically known for his modest start in business and general business smarts . These attributes have since been worn away by life and been replaced with many habits which often come in the way of his business decisions . Buck is a compulsive gambler to the point where he will use company profits to continue gaming , even betting in underground events . Also like LBJ , Buck is a chauvinist , alcoholic , and adulterer . It is often implied that Hank reveres Buck and that , in Hank 's eyes , the two have a close relationship . Compared to Hank who is the ultimate model of a good employee , Buck 's vices require Hank to keep an extremely close eye . Buck refers to Hank as his `` Golden Goose '' implying Hank is the only reason his business remains afloat and thus he would never fire him . Hank has used the threat of quitting to capitulate Buck 's transition from things Hank found unsavory . His health is questionable as he has suffered numerous infarctions and has had several cardiovascular surgeries including valve replacements . Despite his less than desirable traits , he has an ethical side although he planted evidence on Hank for murder rather than let his wife be arrested . Joe Jack ( voiced by Toby Huss ) -- Joe Jack is a fuel - truck driver and co-worker with Hank at Strickland Propane . He has a drinking problem , as seen when he is a member of the Propaniacs . Joe Jack has a habit of calling people he speaks to `` honey '' , regardless of their gender or level of familiarity with him . Enrique ( voiced by Eloy Casados from 1997 -- 1998 , Danny Trejo from 2002 -- 2009 ) -- Enrique is a good - natured Mexican - American truck driver at Strickland Propane . Originally he spoke with a very weak accent . In the episode `` Enrique - cilable Differences , '' Enrique forcibly befriends Hank after a nasty fight with his wife . Enrique ends up moving in with the Hills for a short time eventually developing a pathological attachment to the Hill family , but quickly patches things up with his wife after a fed - up Hank kicks him out . Enrique nearly lost his house due to rent increases when property values in his neighborhood skyrocket when Peggy began selling working class housing to upper - middle class Millennials . To solve the problem , Peggy helped the neighborhood value decline when she fabricated the area as uncool by making it appear as if typical middle - class families were moving in prompting the millennials to leave . Afterwards he applied and became a homeowner . While a hard worker , he has poor fiscal habits , often spending money on lavish outdoor parties to celebrate any seemingly significant event such as his daughter 's Quinceañera or becoming a homeowner . Donna ( voiced by Pamela Adlon ) -- There are actually two separate Donnas who have both worked as Strickland accountants , and are often referred to as `` Donna from Accounting '' . The first Donna appears , albeit infrequently , as an overweight , dark - skinned woman , most notably in `` Meet the Propaniacs '' . In `` Are You There , God ? It 's Me , Margaret Hill '' , Buck mentions having discovered stolen office supplies in her bedroom ( presumably during an extramarital encounter ) , and orders Hank to `` find us a new Donna '' . The `` new Donna '' is a tall , curvy white woman who first appears in `` The Miseducation of Bobby Hill '' . In `` 24 Hour Propane People '' she mentions a husband ; in `` You Gotta Believe ( In Moderation ) '' , Dale notes her `` recent divorce '' . In `` Lost in MySpace '' , her most significant episode , she is briefly promoted to assistant manager alongside Hank , which did n't settle in well with him . She often uses MySpace during work hours and ignored Hank when he asked her for a down to business approach . In turn , Donna is briefly fired when some of her MySpace friends mistook Buck for Hank and brutally beat him up . She sought revenge against Hank by making rude comments about him and Strickland . After sifting through the blogs , he confronts Donna for her behavior at Goobersmooches and eventually makes amends with her . After being rehired as an accountant , Donna takes down the blogs and rearranges it to a down to business approach like Hank wanted . Roger `` Buddha '' Sack ( voiced by Chris Rock in the first appearance , Phil LaMarr in later appearances ) -- He first appeared in `` Traffic Jam '' as a comedian and traffic school instructor . His abrasive and insulting style of humor infuriates Hank , as well as the dean of the traffic school , who terminates his employment at the traffic school for not teaching traffic safety as he was hired to do . Hank later gets Roger a job at Strickland Propane . Grateful to Hank for saving him from unemployment , Roger 's attitude mellows afterward . Elizabeth `` Miz Liz '' Strickland ( voiced by Kathleen Turner ) -- Elizabeth is the deep - voiced , long suffering wife of Buck Strickland , first seen in `` Hanky Panky '' . In `` Hanky Panky '' , the first half of a two - part episode , Miz Liz confronts Buck at an awards dinner while he is there with his mistress . She files for divorce from Buck and subsequently takes control of Strickland Propane . This forces Buck to move in with Debbie . She promotes Hank to manager and attempts to seduce Hank in a propane - powered hot tub . However , the interest was not reciprocated . She brags to Buck about this , Buck , in turn , surprises Hank with a loaded shotgun expressing his jealousy . She and Buck reconcile in the second half `` High Anxiety '' , but later on , in `` The Good Buck '' , Buck claims that Miz Liz has left for good , stating that `` she could handle my drinkin ' binges , and my gamblin ' , and even turn a blind eye to my extramarital escapades , but not when they happen all once ! ... and on her birthday ! '' Debbie Grund ( voiced by Reese Witherspoon ) -- Debbie was an employee of Strickland Propane and was Buck Strickland 's mistress and the main antagonist in the episode `` Hanky Panky '' . As revenge for Buck ending their relationship , she plotted to murder him but accidentally killed herself with Buck 's shotgun while attempting to climb into the dumpster she was using as a hiding place . Tom Landry middle school ( edit ) Carl Moss ( voiced by Dennis Burkley ) -- Carl is the principal of Tom Landry Middle School , one of Hank 's high school classmates , and played Center for their football team . His primary concerns are tight budgets , maintaining discipline and the schools zero tolerance policy for `` everything '' . He tends to follow procedure to avoid trouble , even when it conflicts with his friendship with Hank . A highly changed person , Hank will often remind Carl of how he used to be and insinuate that Carl sold out for a position of power . He frequently rejects staff demands for better teaching aids , citing budget cuts ; he once referred to wood being used in shop class as a `` fancy teaching aid '' . Often the center of various scandals at the school , he permitted installation of soda dispensing vending machines solely for raising funds for staff vacations and purposely placed lazy students into special education classes to avoid state mandated exams ( whose grades would heavily affect school funding ) . Once when one of Dale 's plots to get rid of Moss came to nothing before they got started , Bill mentioned that Moss could n't hide behind inflated test scores forever . Coach Kleehammer ( voiced by Toby Huss ) -- Coach Kleehammer is the football coach at Tom Landry Middle School .

Kleehammer is portrayed as something of a sexist , having displayed a very negative attitude towards women 's sports .

He always sardonically intones something obvious after witnessing an event ( for example , to Bobby after witnessing Mega Lo Mart exploding , `` Your Dad got blown up . '' ) He also is something of a rebel , and was seen pulling Peggy 's pants down , and smoking at one point . His style of speech is similar to Butt - Head from Mike Judge 's previous show , Beavis and Butt - Head , albeit without Butt - Head 's trademark giggling . Clark Peters ( voiced by Pamela Adlon ) -- The overweight bully at Tom Landry Middle School . He has a blond ponytail and speaks as though he has a perpetual head cold ( Minh once referred to him as `` that creepy booger - nosed kid '' ) .

Randy Miller ( voiced by Cheryl Holliday in 1997 -- 1999 , David Herman in 2000 -- 2009 ) -- Randy is the quintessential `` nerd '' who loves to tattle on people and then see them being punished . Bobby , Connie , and Joseph do not like him very much , though Bobby once stopped Dooley from beating him up . He is very proud of his father being a successful patent lawyer . Although once a somewhst prominent character , he largely vanished after the fifth season . Chane Wassonasong ( voiced by Pamela Adlon ) -- Chane is a smart but obnoxious and rude classmate of Bobby and Connie . Connie 's parents are constantly trying to fix her up with Chane , also Laotian - American , as they see him as a very preferable alternative to Bobby ( and because Chane is the son of prominent Laotian - American Ted Wassonasong , with whom they are constantly trying to curry favor ) Emily ( voiced by Ashley Johnson ) -- She is a sixth grade blonde pony - tailed hall monitor who takes her position quite seriously . She often serves as the gatekeeper of Principal Moss ' office .

Arlen vfw ( edit ) Sgt . `` Topsy '' Toppington ( voiced by Stephen Root ) -- Toppington ( nearly always referred to as `` Topsy '' ) is an old wartime buddy of Cotton Hill . He often acts as an accomplice to Cotton 's schemes . He could inflate his cheeks in a manner similar to Dizzy Gillespie , and according to Cotton , he was legally blind and had to have all his teeth pulled out because they were badly decayed . In `` Death Buys a Timeshare , '' his death is confirmed as Cotton is left his estate . Topsy was apparently cremated and his remains flushed down a toilet once used by General George S. Patton , as his name can be seen along with all of Cotton 's war buddies above the toilet . Stinkey ( voiced by Edward Asner ) -- Stinkey is one of Cotton Hill 's wartime friends who was overweight and had suffered from diabetes , he died at some point later in the series as it is mentioned by Cotton and his name is among the veterans ' ashes flushed down the toilet that General Patton used .

He is a former roadie for Winger and lead singer of Big Mountain Fudgecake . In Season 9 , he began writing and performing his own children 's music . He works out of his trailer as a masseur , though his clients are generally only women . It is implied that he has a history of having sex with them , as Hank is horrified when Peggy goes to see him , and John Redcorn even states to him , `` Hank , I consider you a friend . I would never heal your wife the way I heal the wives of others . '' He is also active in American Indian rights campaigns , and Dale once helped him with a lawsuit that netted him twelve acres of land from the Federal government . However he was manipulated into building a casino on the property which was later found to be prohibited in Texas whose tribes forfeit gaming rights for federal recognition and his property was permitted for hazardous dumping to pay the debt . Because Dale had been so helpful , Redcorn felt extremely guilty over what he did with Nancy , and ended his affair by encouraging Nancy and Dale to strengthen their marriage . He eventually got back together with an ex-lover and became a dedicated husband and father to the children he had with her . Ted Wassonasong and Cindy Wassonasong ( voiced by Mike Judge and Lauren Tom respectively ) -- Ted and Cindy are affluent Laotian - American acquaintances of the Souphanousinphones . Kahn and Minh envy and resent them , but go to great lengths to gain their favor , such as inviting them over for dinner . They live in the upscale , gated community of Arlen Heights , and are prominent members of Nine Rivers Country Club . Ted and Cindy tolerate the Souphanousinphones but , in reality , look down upon them . They joined the Episcopal Church despite being Buddhist because it was `` good for business . '' Ted is also blatantly hypocritical . He referred to Kahn as a `` Banana '' ( an ethnic slur to identify an Asian American apparently lost in touch with their ethnic identity ; more comfortable with Western society ) even though Ted possesses far greater degree of luxury commodities , and lost most of his accent . He also helped pass a city ordinance banning the use of trans fats in only to be immediately found consuming the very foods he helped prohibit . Octavio ( voiced by Mike Judge ) -- Octavio is a Hispanic quasi-mercenary who does various bizarre favors for Dale when paid enough money , such as breaking into the Hill 's home in the middle of the night to look for Dale 's kidney ( earlier in the episode , Hank , who was legally Dale for three days while Dale was in hospital to give his kidney to NHRA drag racer John Force , was forced to help Octavio bash his own car with re-bar to try and claim motor accident insurance , a scheme he had cook up with Dale ) . On his chest is a large Rob Zombie tattoo which he once tried to pass off as a tattoo of Jesus in order to join Luanne 's Bible study group because she was conducting lessons in her pool while wearing a two piece bikini . His appearance was modelled after actor Danny Trejo ( who actually voices Enrique on the show ) . His last appearance was a non-speaking cameo in Just Another Manic - Kahn Day . M.F. ( Milton Farnsworth ) Thatherton ( voiced by Burt Reynolds in the first appearance , Toby Huss in later appearances ) -- M.F. is a former employee of Strickland Propane and another antagonist who strikes out on his own and opens up the crooked Thatherton Fuels company across the street from Strickland . He dresses like an old school rich cowboy with a ten - gallon hat and cowboy boots . An untrustworthy type , Thatherton is a sometime foil to Hank Hill and / or Buck . His sins are similar to Buck Strickland 's ( womanizing , gambling , using people ) , but more pronounced . Thatherton openly considers customers as little more than moneymakers and hires centerfold models or Hooters girls to bait potential propane customers . Hank , who also despises him , was forced to work for Thatherton for a week due to Buck losing at a game of cards . Whenever his name is mentioned , any of the Hills remark angrily , `` Thatherton ! '' Reverend Thomason ( voiced by Maurice LaMarche ) -- A reverend at Arlen First Methodist Church . He was replaced by Reverend Karen Stroup upon retiring to start an online ministry .

Jimmy Whichard ( voiced by David Herman ) -- Jimmy is the town imbecile , and the main antagonist in `` Life in the Fast Lane - Bobby 's Saga '' . He has had several jobs , including concession manager at the racetrack and outsider artist . Dale notes that he may have given himself brain damage from staring into the sun for too long , although `` he ca n't have been too bright to do it in the first place . '' When Peggy was scammed by an internet test that `` proved '' she was a genius , she only believed it to be a scam upon learning that Jimmy was also proclaimed a genius . Chuck Mangione ( voiced by Himself ) -- Chuck is a famous jazz trumpeter and flugelhorn player , and his hit song `` Feels So Good '' is played frequently on the show . He shamelessly promotes Mega-Lo Mart until he grows tired of going to every new store opening ( he told Dale that he did n't read the contract properly , stating that Mega-Lo Mart opened 400 new stores per year and it left him no time to tour , record or be with his family ) . This forced him to disappear where Dale discovers he has become a hermit , living within the Arlen Mega-Lo Mart in a `` Toilet Paper Castle '' and stealing stocked items at night when the store is closed . When he tells Dale that he disappeared to `` stick it to the man '' , Dale decides to keep his secret and Mangione goes on living in the store undetected . Monsignor Martinez ( voiced by Mike Judge ) -- The Monsignor is the gun - toting priest hero of the fictional TV series Los Dias y Las Noches de Monsignor Martinez , a favorite of many of the principal characters . Clips of his program are often inserted into episodes as part of a running gag . In one of the episodes , Hank mentions that Martinez is an undercover cop . The clips of his episodes which appear on the series usually feature him just about to kill one of his nemeses while solemnly uttering his catchphrase , `` Vaya con Dios '' ; often preceding a melodramatic explosion . In the 8th - season episode `` Flirting with the Master , '' the actor who plays Martinez invites Peggy to Mexico City to tutor his children , and she mistakes his interest for romantic passion . A live - action pilot was filmed featuring the character , but never aired because FOX did n't think it would have been a good idea to have a show about a Catholic priest shooting people . Lane Pratley ( voiced by Dwight Yoakam in the first appearance , Dave Thomas in later appearances ) -- Lane is a sleazy car dealer who owns `` Pratley Ford '' and `` Pratley Hyundai , '' and as he says , `` I got my eye on Pratley Cadillac -- my daddy ai n't doing so good .

Mark Buckley ( voiced by David Herman ) -- Buckley was the slacker boyfriend of Luanne . He was killed in a propane explosion by his own negligence while working at Mega-Lo Mart in the second season finale , having dragged a propane tank by the valve instead of its handles resulting in leak .

Officer Brown ( voiced by Fred Willard ) -- Officer Brown is a local police officer in Arlen who is not averse to tampering with evidence and taking bribes from illegal food operations , as explained in episodes 20 and 11 ( respectively ) of season 12 . In the episode `` Cops and Roberts , '' Principal Moss states that `` Officer Brown may be a disgraced cop who tampered with evidence ... but this here used to be a man '' . His appearance is modeled after his voice actor . Brown ( as well as other Arlen police officers ) were seen to be ' starstruck ' by fictional ex-Dallas Cowboy player Willie Lane ( and his 1978 Super Bowl ring ) and refused to arrest him for felonies against Hank and Kahn after finding out who he was in the episode `` New Cowboy on the Block '' . Jack ( voiced by Brian Doyle - Murray ) -- Jack is Hank 's mentally unstable barber . Eventually , his distress affects his ability to style hair , causing Hank great embarrassment .

Miss Kremzer ( voiced by Jennifer Coolidge ) -- The teacher at the beauty school Luanne went to . She is very condescending towards Luanne in her first appearance .

Due to the No Pass No Play policy , David is prevented from playing football until he raises his grades , earning Peggy the ire of the local booster club . The club and school employees fabricate evidence that David was Learning disabled which he admitted was untrue although his grammar , handwriting and mathematical reasoning are poor . Realizing his chances for playing in professional sports are statistically low , he agrees to be tutored by Peggy to have something to fall back on . Mrs. Kalaiki - Ali'i ( voiced by Amy Hill ) -- A Hawaiian insurance agent Hank visits when Kahn backs into Hank 's truck with his van .

After the apparent failure of the Showbiz Deli , we encounter Carl again in Bad Girls , Bad Girls , Whatcha Gonna Do ? , again having switched his menu , this time to sushi , another food that can be served raw .

"Elroy \"Lucky\" Kleinschmidt (voiced by Tom Petty) — Lucky is Luanne's itinerant, but generally benign redneck husband, and is the father of Luanne's child. It is often hard for Lucky to hold down a job (he has no credit or Social Security number). He lives on the remainder of the $53,000 \"settlement monies\" he received after \"slipping on pee-pee at the Costco\" having had a portion of his spine fused. He was nicknamed \"Lucky\" after the settlement windfall. After he spent a majority of his money customizing his truck, his finances dwindled down to nine thousand dollars but regained another $53,000 when an ambulance chasing lawyer paid off Lucky to avoid a lawsuit. Peggy tried very hard to break him and Luanne apart, but after Luanne's pregnancy was revealed, she and Hank reconciled the two, giving them a shotgun wedding at Lucky's request. He is also one of the guitarists for John Redcorn's band \"Big Mountain Fudgecake\". Although dimwitted in some aspects, Lucky has learned some facets such as basic math through life experience as opposed to formal education, and was astute enough to deduce that his father-in-law spent time in jail whereas Luanne believed the story that he works on an oil rig. He yearned to receive his GED but only to prove he was good enough to marry Luanne."

After high school , he played Bay Area nightclubs such as the Holy City Zoo and The Other Cafe , and was a regular guest on local radio programs . After opening a show by comedian Dennis Miller in 1987 , Schneider won a slot on HBO 's 13th Annual Young Comedians special , which was hosted by Miller . Schneider 's appearance on the HBO special led to a position as a writer for the late night NBC sketch comedy series Saturday Night Live . Saturday Night Live Schneider was hired at Saturday Night Live in 1988 . Schneider swiftly graduated from writer and featured player to full cast member . From 1990 to 1994 at SNL , he played such roles as `` Tiny Elvis '' and `` Orgasm Guy '' . His best known recurring character was Richard Laymer , an office worker whose desk was stuck beside the photocopier , and who addressed each of his fellow employees with an endless stream of annoying nicknames . Schneider is featured in the video release The Bad Boys of Saturday Night Live , along with colleagues Adam Sandler , Chris Rock , David Spade , and Chris Farley . Recurring SNL characters The Richmeister , an office worker who annoys people by giving them nicknames as they make copies .

He also appeared in a recurring part on the TV series Coach . In 1996 , he co-starred in the NBC sit - com Men Behaving Badly , an American take on the hit British series of the same name . The U.S. version ran for two seasons . Schneider starred in the 1999 feature film Deuce Bigalow : Male Gigolo , a tale of a fish - tank cleaner who incurs a massive debt and is forced to become a `` man - whore . '' This was followed by The Animal , about a man given animal powers by a mad scientist ; The Hot Chick , wherein the mind of a petty thief played by Schneider is mystically switched into the body of a pretty , but mean - spirited high school cheerleader ( Rachel McAdams ) ; and the sequel Deuce Bigalow : European Gigolo . The latter movie was not well received by critics or moviegoers , and as a result , Schneider won a 2005 Worst Actor Razzie Award for his role in the film . In 2006 , Schneider co-starred in the baseball - themed family comedy The Benchwarmers , along with his fellow SNL alumnus David Spade as well as Jon Heder . Other film roles include Schneider 's appearance with Jim Henson 's Muppets in the 1999 film Muppets from Space , and his role as a San Francisco hobo in the 2004 remake of Around the World in 80 Days .

In the film , he starred as a con artist who is arrested for perpetrating real - estate scams . He is sentenced to prison , so he takes a crash - course in martial arts to survive incarceration . Schneider has also appeared in numerous comedies starring his SNL comrade Adam Sandler , most recently in 2010 's Grown Ups . The comedic characters Schneider plays in these films include an overly enthusiastic Cajun man who proclaims the catch - phrase , `` You can do it ! '' ; an amiable Middle Eastern delivery boy ; a prison inmate ; and Sandler 's one - eyed Hawaiian sidekick , Ula . Schneider has uttered the line `` You can do it ! '' as a running gag in Sandler 's films The Waterboy , Little Nicky , 50 First Dates , The Longest Yard , and Bedtime Stories , as well as in a deleted scene from Click . ( A sample of Schneider saying the phrase also turns up in the song `` Original Prankster '' by The Offspring . ) Returning the favor , Sandler appeared in a cameo to spout the same line in Schneider 's The Animal , wherein , as a reference , Adam Sandler utters : `` Yeah ! You can do it ! '' Sandler also showed up briefly in Schneider 's The Hot Chick . Schneider narrated Sandler 's 2002 animated movie Eight Crazy Nights , and voiced the part of a Chinese waiter . Schneider also had an uncredited cameo as a Canadian - Japanese wedding - chapel minister in the 2007 Sandler - Kevin James comedy I Now Pronounce You Chuck & Larry , and played a Palestinian cab driver who serves as the title character 's nemesis in the 2008 Sandler film You Do n't Mess with the Zohan .

He also revived his stand - up comedy career in 2010 with an international tour of theaters , clubs and casinos . Schneider appeared in the music video for country singer Neal McCoy 's `` Billy 's Got His Beer Goggles On '' , as the song 's title character . McCoy and Schneider met while the two went on a USO tour in support of U.S. troops two months after the September 11 , 2001 terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon . Schneider starred as the title character in the CBS - TV situation comedy Rob , which was loosely based on his real life . The series was canceled by CBS in May 2012 . Since 2015 , he has produced , directed and starred in Real Rob , a sitcom that follows his life and includes his real - life wife Patricia and daughter Miranda . Netflix has released one season of 8 episodes so far . Schneider is the official celebrity spokesperson for the Taiwan Tourism Bureau and the Ten Ren Tea company in Taipei . Schneider was spokesperson for State Farm Insurance , but was dropped in 2014 due to his anti-vaccination views . In May 2016 , Schneider was featured as a special guest on the Let 's Play webseries Game Grumps , commentating over Midway 's Mortal Kombat Trilogy . Criticism In a January 2005 Oscar preview , movie reviewer Patrick Goldstein commented that that year 's Best Picture nominees were `` ignored , unloved and turned down flat by most of the same studios that ... bankroll hundreds of sequels , including a follow - up to Deuce Bigalow : Male Gigolo , a film that was sadly overlooked at Oscar time because apparently nobody had the foresight to invent a category for Best Running Penis Joke Delivered by a Third - Rate Comic . '' Schneider retaliated by placing an ad in the Los Angeles Times two weeks later , commenting that Goldstein was unqualified to opine this because he had never won the Pulitzer Prize , or any other journalistic award , because , he remarked , `` they have n't invented a category for Best Third - Rate , Unfunny Pompous Reporter Who 's Never Been Acknowledged by His Peers . '' Roger Ebert of the Chicago Sun - Times intervened by saying that , `` Schneider can dish it out , but he ca n't take it . '' Then responded , '' He 's not so good at dishing it out either . '' Ebert went on to point out on his site that Goldstein won a National Headliner Award , a Los Angeles Press Club Award , a RockCritics.com award , and the Publicists ' Guild award for lifetime achievement . Schneider later publicly admitted that he later found out that Goldstein won the Lifetime Achievement Publicist Guild Award and apologized . He then remarked , `` My only regret is that he ( Goldstein ) got a little famous out of it . '' Personal life Schneider has a daughter with former model London King , musician Elle King , who was born in 1989 . In 1996 , Schneider established the Rob Schneider Music Foundation . The foundation returned music education to Pacifica 's elementary schools by paying the teachers ' salaries and providing funds for instruments and other equipment . Prior to Schneider 's efforts , the school system did not have music education programs for many years . Schneider once co-owned the DNA Lounge , a San Francisco nightclub . On April 23 , 2011 , Schneider married television producer Patricia Azarcoya Arce , in Beverly Hills , California . Their first child , Miranda Scarlett Schneider , was born in 2012 . The couple welcomed their second daughter , Madeline Robbie Schneider , in September 2016 . In 2013 , Schneider switched political parties from the Democratic Party to the Republican Party , explaining : `` The state of California is a mess , and the super majority of Democrats is not working . I 've been a lifelong Democrat and I have to switch over because it no longer serves the people of this great state . '' Anti-vaccination activism Schneider has been an outspoken critic of childhood vaccinations , promoting the refuted claim made by multiple celebrities that they are dangerous and cause autism , which is contrary to the scientific consensus on the subject . In an interview with News10 in Sacramento , Schneider opined that `` The efficacy of these shots have not been proven ... And the toxicity of these things -- we 're having more and more side effects . We 're having more and more autism . '' He also views the actions from the state to mandate vaccinations as government overreach : `` It 's illegal . You ca n't make people do procedures that they do n't want . The parents have to be the ones who make the decisions for what 's best for our kids . It ca n't be the government saying that . It 's against the Nuremberg Laws . '' Schneider 's statements have been discredited as lacking any factual basis . Schneider has actively fought the passage of two California laws , California Assembly Bill 2109 and California Senate Bill 277 , which both intended to make childhood vaccination exemptions harder to obtain . On September 28 , 2012 , Schneider and California State Assemblyman Tim Donnelly spoke at the `` Medical Freedom Rally , '' where they urged California Governor Jerry Brown to veto Assembly Bill 2109 , which would have made it more difficult for parents to utilize philosophical reasons for exemptions from mandatory childhood vaccinations . While the bill was not vetoed , Governor Brown added a signing message instructing the Department of Health to add a religious exemption and to make sure the process is not overly burdensome to parents . In 2015 , Schneider fought against California Senate Bill 277 , which removed exemptions to mandatory vaccinations due to personal beliefs , even leaving a phone message to California state Assemblywoman and bill co-author Lorena Gonzalez saying that he would spend money against her in her next re-election . Gonzalez , in an interview with The Washington Times , said that she found the message to be disturbing , but upon calling back , she said `` he was actually much nicer to me , but let 's be honest ... that is 20 mins of my life I 'll never get back arguing that vaccines do n't cause autism with Deuce Bigalow , male gigolo . # vaccinateyourkids .

( October 2017 ) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message ) Representative Alexander Pirnie ( R - NY ) drawing the first number . On December 1 , 1969 , the Selective Service System of the United States conducted two lotteries to determine the order of call to military service in the Vietnam War for men born from 1944 to 1950 . These lotteries occurred during a period of conscription from just before World War II to 1973 . The lottery numbers assigned in December 1969 were used during calendar year 1970 both to call for induction and to call for physical examination , a preliminary call covering more men . Contents ( hide ) 1 Method 2 Origins and consequences 3 Modification 4 References 5 External links Method ( edit ) The days of the year ( including February 29 ) were written on slips of paper . These pieces of paper were then placed in separate plastic capsules that were mixed in a shoebox and then dumped into a deep glass jar . Capsules were drawn from the jar one at a time . The first number drawn was 258 ( September 14 ) , so all registrants with that birthday were assigned lottery number 1 . The second number drawn corresponded to April 24 , and so forth . All men of draft age ( born 1944 to 1950 ) who shared a birth date would be called to serve at once . The first 195 birthdates drawn were later called to serve in the order they were drawn ; the last of these was September 24 . Also on December 1 , 1969 , a second lottery was held with the 26 letters of the alphabet . Among men with the same birthdate , the order of induction was determined by the ranks of the first letters of their last , first , and middle names . Anyone with initials `` JJJ '' would have been first within the shared birthdate , followed by `` JGJ '' , `` JDJ '' , and `` JXJ '' ; anyone with initials `` VVV '' would have been last . SSS Draft scatterplot of the days of the year ( horizontal ) and their lottery numbers ( vertical ) . December birthdays ( far right ) were assigned many low numbers ( bottom ) , representing early induction , and few high numbers ( top ) . People soon noticed that the lottery numbers were not distributed uniformly over the year . In particular , November and December births , or dates 306 to 366 , were assigned mainly to lower draft numbers representing earlier calls to serve ( see figure ) . This led to complaints that the lottery was not random as the legislation required . Analysis of the procedure suggested that mixing 366 capsules in the shoe box did not mix them sufficiently before dumping them into the jar . ( `` The capsules were put in a box month by month , January through December , and subsequent mixing efforts were insufficient to overcome this sequencing . '' ) Only five days in December -- Dec. 2 , 12 , 15 , 17 and 19 -- were higher than the last call number of 195 ; had the days been evenly distributed , 14 days in December would have been expected to remain uncalled . From January to December , the rank of the average draft pick numbers were 5 4 1 3 2 6 8 9 10 7 11 12 . A Monte Carlo simulation found that the probability of a random order of months being this close to the 1 -- 12 sequence expected for unsorted slips was 0.09 % . Draft lotteries were conducted again in 1970 ( for those born in 1951 ) and from 1971 to 1975 ( for 1952 to 1956 births ) . The draft numbers issued in 1972 were never used the next year to call for induction into service , because the last call was December 7 and authority to induct expired on June 30 , 1973 . The 1972 to 1975 lottery numbers were used to call some men born 1953 to 1956 for physical exams . The highest number called for a physical was 215 ( for tables 1970 through 1976 ) . Origins and consequences ( edit ) Previously in the United States , during the War of 1812 , President Madison established a commission to recommend the best ways to raise military manpower ; to keep the draft or to institute a volunteer army . After much debate within the Nixon administration and Congress , it was decided that an all - volunteer force was affordable , feasible , and would enhance the nation 's security . President Richard Nixon issued an executive order prescribing regulations for random selection by the United States Selective Service on November 26 , 1969 . The 1970s were a time of turmoil in the United States , beginning with the Civil Rights Movement which set the standards for practices by the anti-war movement . The 1969 draft lottery only encouraged resentment of the Vietnam war and the draft . It strengthened the anti-war movement , and all over the United States people decried discrimination by the draft system `` against low - education , low - income , underprivileged members of society '' . The draft lottery had social and economic consequences because it generated resistance to military service and the resisters , draft evaders or `` draft dodgers '' , were generally young , well - educated , healthy men . The fear of military service in Vietnam influenced many young men born in the late 1940s to join the National Guard . These young men were aware that the National Guard would be unlikely to send its soldiers to Vietnam . Many men were unable to join the National Guard , even though they had passed their physicals , because many state National Guards had long waiting lists just to enlist . Still others chose legal sanctions such as imprisonment , either showing their disapproval by burning their draft cards or draft letters , or simply not presenting themselves for the military service test . Others left the country , commonly moving to Canada . The number of American citizens who moved to Canada during the Vietnam war because of the draft is estimated to be around 125,000 ; it is believed that about half returned to the United States after the Nixon era ( when the war was also over ) ( 1975 ) . Modification ( edit ) Lottery procedure was improved the next year although public discontent continued to grow until `` authority to induct expired on June 30 , 1973 '' . In 1970 , covering 1951 birthdates for use during 1971 ( sometimes called the 1971 draft ) , scientists at the National Bureau of Standards prepared 78 random permutations of the numbers 1 to 366 using random numbers selected from published tables . From the 78 permutations , 25 were selected at random and transcribed to calendars using 1 = January 1 , 2 = January 2 , ... 365 = December 31 . Those calendars were sealed in envelopes. 25 more permutations were selected and sealed in 25 more envelopes without transcription to calendars . The two sets of 25 envelopes were furnished to the Selective Service System . On June 2 , an official picked two envelopes , thus one calendar and one raw permutation . The 365 birthdates ( for 1951 ) were written down , placed in capsules , and put in a drum in the order dictated by the selected calendar . Similarly , the numbers from 1 to 365 were written down and placed into capsules in the order dictated by the raw permutation . On July 1 , the drawing date , one drum was rotated for an hour and the other for a half - hour ( its rotating mechanism failed ) . Pairs of capsules were then drawn , one from each drum , one with a 1951 birthdate and one with a number 1 to 366 . The first date and number drawn were September 16 and 139 , so all men born September 16 , 1951 , were assigned draft number 139 . The 11th draws were the date July 9 and the number 1 , so men born July 9 were assigned draft number 1 and drafted first .

For other uses , see 14 August . Not to be confused with Pakistan Day . Independence Day of Pakistan The flag of Pakistan hoisted at the mount of the Pakistan Monument in Islamabad Official name یوم آزادی Observed by Pakistan Type National Day Significance Commemorates the independence of Pakistan Celebrations Flag hoisting , parades , award ceremonies , singing patriotic songs and the national anthem , speeches by the President and Prime Minister , entertainment and cultural programs Date 14 August Frequency Annual First time 14 August 1947 Related to Pakistan Day Independence Day ( Urdu : یوم آزادی ; Yaum - e Āzādī ) , observed annually on 14 August , is a national holiday in Pakistan . It commemorates the day when Pakistan achieved independence and was declared a sovereign nation following the end of the British Raj in 1947 . Pakistan came into existence as a result of the Pakistan Movement , which aimed for the creation of an independent Muslim state in the north - western regions of South Asia via partition . The movement was led by the All - India Muslim League under the leadership of Muhammad Ali Jinnah . The event was brought forth by the Indian Independence Act 1947 under which the British Raj gave independence to the Dominion of Pakistan which comprised West Pakistan ( present - day Pakistan ) and East Pakistan ( now Bangladesh ) . In the Islamic calendar , the day of independence coincided with Ramadan 27 , the eve of which , being Laylat al - Qadr , is regarded as sacred by Muslims . The main Independence Day ceremony takes place in Islamabad , where the national flag is hoisted at the Presidential and Parliament buildings . It is followed by the national anthem and live televised speeches by leaders . Usual celebratory events and festivities for the day include flag - raising ceremonies , parades , cultural events , and the playing of patriotic songs . A number of award ceremonies are often held on this day , and Pakistanis hoist the national flag atop their homes or display it prominently on their vehicles and attire .

Cover of a press release ; `` Independence Anniversary Series '' by the Press Information Department of Pakistan , in 1948 in relation to the country 's first independence day which was celebrated on 15 August 1948 . The area constituting Pakistan was historically a part of the British Indian Empire throughout much of the nineteenth century . The East India Company begun their trade in South Asia in the 17th century , and the company rule started from 1757 when they won the Battle of Plassey . Following the Indian Rebellion of 1857 , the Government of India Act 1858 led to the British Crown assuming direct control over much of the Indian subcontinent . All - India Muslim League was founded by the All India Muhammadan Educational Conference at Dhaka , in 1906 , in the context of the circumstances that were generated over the division of Bengal in 1905 and the party aimed at creation of a separate Muslim state . The period after World War I was marked by British reforms such as the Montagu -- Chelmsford Reforms , but it also witnessed the enactment of the repressive Rowlatt Act and strident calls for self - rule by Indian activists . The widespread discontent of this period crystallized into nationwide non-violent movements of non-cooperation and civil disobedience . The idea for a separate Muslim state in the northwest regions of South Asia was introduced by Allama Iqbal in his speech as the President of the Muslim League in December 1930 . Three years later , the name of `` Pakistan '' as a separate state was proposed in a declaration made by Choudhary Rahmat Ali , in the form of an acronym . It was to comprise the five `` northern units '' of Punjab , Afghania ( erstwhile North - West Frontier Province ) , Kashmir , Sind , and Baluchistan . Like Iqbal , Bengal was left out of the proposal made by Rahmat Ali . In the 1940s , as the Indian independence movement intensified , an upsurge of Muslim nationalism helmed by the All - India Muslim League took place , of which Muhammad Ali Jinnah was the most prominent leader . Being a political party to secure the interests of the Muslim diaspora in British India , the Muslim League played a decisive role during the 1940s in the Indian independence movement and developed into the driving force behind the creation of Pakistan as a Muslim state in South Asia . During a three - day general session of All - India Muslim League from 22 -- 24 March 1940 , a formal political statement was presented , known as the Lahore Resolution , which called on for the creation of an independent state for Muslims . In 1956 , 23 March also became the date on which Pakistan transitioned from a dominion to a republic , and is known as Pakistan Day . Pakistan is a great country . Independence ( edit ) In 1946 , the Labour government in Britain , exhausted by recent events such as World War II and numerous riots , realized that it had neither the mandate at home , the support internationally , nor the reliability of the British Indian Army for continuing to control an increasingly restless British India . The reliability of the native forces for continuing their control over an increasingly rebellious India diminished , and so the government decided to end the British rule of the Indian Subcontinent . In 1946 , the Indian National Congress , being a secular party , demanded a single state . The Muslim majorities , who disagreed with the idea of single state , stressed the idea of a separate Pakistan as an alternative . The 1946 Cabinet Mission to India was sent to try to reach a compromise between Congress and the Muslim League , proposing a decentralized state with much power given to local governments , but it was rejected by both of the parties and resulted in a number of riots in South Asia . Eventually , in February 1947 , Prime Minister Clement Attlee announced that the British government would grant full self - governance to British India by June 1948 at the latest . On 3 June 1947 , the British government announced that the principle of division of British India into two independent states was accepted . The successor governments would be given dominion status and would have an implicit right to secede from the British Commonwealth . Viceroy Mountbatten chose 15 August , the second anniversary of Japan 's surrender in the World War II , as the date of power transfer . He chose 14 August as the date of the ceremony of power transfer to Pakistan because he wanted to attend the ceremonies in both India and Pakistan . The Indian Independence Act 1947 ( 10 & 11 Geo 6 c. 30 ) passed by the Parliament of the United Kingdom divided British India into the two new independent dominions ; the Dominion of India ( later to become the Republic of India ) and the Dominion of Pakistan ( later to become the Islamic Republic of Pakistan ) . The act provided a mechanism for division of the Bengal and Punjab provinces between the two nations ( see partition of India ) , establishment of the office of the Governor - General , conferral of complete legislative authority upon the respective Constituent Assemblies , and division of joint property between the two new countries . The act later received royal assent on 18 July 1947 . The partition was accompanied by violent riots and mass casualties , and the displacement of nearly 15 million people due to religious violence across the subcontinent ; millions of Muslim , Sikh and Hindu refugees trekked the newly drawn borders to Pakistan and India respectively in the months surrounding independence . On 14 August 1947 , the new Dominion of Pakistan became independent and Muhammad Ali Jinnah was sworn in as its first governor general in Karachi . Independence was marked with widespread celebration , but the atmosphere remained heated given the communal riots prevalent during independence in 1947 . The date of Independence ( edit ) Since the transfer of power took place on the midnight of 14 and 15 August , the Indian Independence Act 1947 recognized 15 August as the birthday of both Pakistan and India . The act states ; `` As from the fifteenth day of August , nineteen hundred and forty - seven , two independent Dominions shall be set up in India , to be known respectively as India and Pakistan . '' Jinnah in his first broadcast to the nation stated ; `` August 15 is the birthday of the independent and sovereign state of Pakistan . It marks the fulfillment of the destiny of the Muslim nation which made great sacrifices in the past few years to have its homeland . '' The first commemorative postage stamps of the country , released in July 1948 , also gave 15 August 1947 as the independence day , however in subsequent years 14 August was adopted as the independence day . This is because Mountbatten administered the independence oath to Jinnah on the 14th , before leaving for India where the oath was scheduled on the midnight of the 15th . The night of 14 -- 15 August 1947 coincided with 27 Ramadan 1366 of the Islamic calendar , which Muslims regard as a sacred night . Celebrations ( edit ) See also : Pakistani nationalism The change of guard ceremony takes place at various monuments throughout the country . Here the Pakistan Navy cadets salute the tomb of the father of the nation , Muhammad Ali Jinnah Girls lighting candles at midnight to celebrate the day An office building in Islamabad illuminated by decorative lighting Independence Day fireworks at the Minar - e-Pakistan in Lahore Official celebrations ( edit ) The independence day is one of the six public holidays observed in Pakistan and is celebrated all across the country . To prepare and finalise the plans for independence day celebrations , meetings are held in the provincial capitals by local governments which are attended by government officials , diplomats , and politicians . Public organisations , educational institutions , and government departments organise seminars , sports competitions , and social and cultural activities leading up to the independence day . In Karachi , drives are initiated to clean and prepare the Mazar - e-Quaid ( Jinnah Mausoleum ) for the celebration . The official festivities take place in Islamabad and commence with the raising of the national flag on the Parliament House and the Presidency followed by a 31 - gun salute in the capital and a 21 - gun salute in provincial capitals . The President and Prime Minister of Pakistan address the nation in live telecasts . Government officials , political leaders and celebrities deliver messages or speeches during rallies , ceremonies and events , highlighting Pakistani achievements , goals set for the future , and praise the sacrifices and efforts of national heroes . Government buildings including the Parliament House , Supreme Court , President House and Prime Minister 's Secretariat are decorated and illuminated with lights and bright colours . A change of guard takes place at national monuments by the Armed Forces . The Army , Air Force and Navy feature prominently in independence day parades . In the cities around the country , the flag hoisting ceremony is carried out by the nazim ( mayor ) belonging to the respective constituency , and at various public and private departments the ceremony is conducted by a senior officer of that organisation . In 2017 , the Pakistan International Airlines introduced a special in - flight jam session to entertain passengers traveling on Independence Day , featuring artists singing national songs on board a domestic flight . International governments , leaders and public figures also convey their greetings on the occasion . Overseas dignitaries are invited as chief guests in ceremonies , while foreign military contingents often participate in parades . National flags are displayed on major roads and avenues such as Shahrah - e-Faisal , Shahara - e-Quaideen , and Mazar - e-Quaid Road , leading up to Jinnah 's mausoleum in Karachi . Minar - e-Pakistan in Lahore , where the Pakistan Resolution was passed in 1940 , is fully illuminated on the eve of the independence day to signify its importance in the creation of Pakistan . Public celebrations ( edit ) As the month of August begins , special stalls , fun fairs and shops are set up across the country for the sale of national flags , buntings , banners and posters , badges , pictures of national heroes , multimedia and other celebratory items . Vehicles , private buildings , homes , and streets are decorated with national flags , candles , oil lamps , pennants and buntings . Businesses engage in rigorous marketing , as do leading designer fashion outlets which stock independence - themed clothing , jewellery and self - adornments . The day begins with special prayers for the integrity , solidarity , and development of Pakistan in mosques and religious places across the country . Citizens attending independence day parades and other events are usually dressed in Pakistan 's official colours , green and white . Many people meet their friends and relatives , dine over Pakistani food , and visit recreational spots to mark the holiday . Public functions including elaborate firework shows , street parades , seminars , televised transmissions , music and poetry contests , children 's shows and art exhibitions are a common part of the celebrations . Along with flag hoisting , the national anthem is sung at various government places , schools , residences , and monuments on the day , and patriotic slogans such as Pakistan Zindabad are raised . Musical concerts and dance performances are arranged both inside and outside the country , featuring popular artists . Homage is paid to the people who lost their lives during the migration and riots which followed independence in 1947 , as well as martyrs of the Pakistan Army and recipients of Nishan - e-Haider , and political figures , famous artists and scientists . Immigrant communities in Pakistan partake in the festivities as well . The Pakistani diaspora around the world organises cultural events to celebrate independence day ; public parades are held in cities with large Pakistani populations , such as New York , London and Dubai . In addition , Kashmiris from Jammu and Kashmir who hold pro-Pakistan sentiments are known to observe the day , causing friction with Indian authorities . Security measures ( edit ) Security measures in the country are intensified as the independence day approaches , especially in major cities and in troubled areas . The security is set up after various representatives of intelligence and investigation agencies meet . High alert is declared in sensitive areas such as the country 's capital , to restrict security threats . Despite this , there have been instances where attacks have occurred on independence day by insurgents who boycott the celebrations as a part of their protest . On 13 August 2010 , the country witnessed floods causing deaths of 1,600 people and affecting 14 million lives . On account of the calamity , the president made an announcement that there would not be any official celebration of the independence day that year . In popular culture ( edit ) See also : Culture of Pakistan From the beginning of August , radio channels play milli naghmay ( patriotic songs ) and various TV shows and programmes highlighting the history , culture , and achievements of Pakistan are broadcast . Popular national songs like Dil Dil Pakistan and Jazba - e-Junoon are played and sung all over the country . New patriotic songs are also released each year . The film Jinnah released in 1998 follows the story of Jinnah and details the events leading up to the independence of Pakistan . The events during the independence of Pakistan are depicted in many literary and scholarly works . Khushwant Singh 's novel Train to Pakistan , Saadat Hasan Manto 's short story Toba Tek Singh , Larry Collins and Dominique Lapierre 's book Freedom at Midnight , and poetic works of Faiz Ahmad Faiz chronicle events during the independence of Pakistan . Ali Pur Ka Aeeli by Mumtaz Mufti is an autobiography narrating the account of bringing his family from Batala to Lahore . Khaak aur Khoon ( Dirt and Blood ) by Naseem Hijazi describes the sacrifices of Muslims of South Asia during independence . Dastaan , a Pakistani drama serial , based on the novel Bano by Razia Butt , also tells the story of Pakistan Movement and events of independence of Pakistan . Pakistan Post released four commemorative stamps in July 1948 for the country 's first independence anniversary . Three of the four stamps depicted places from Pakistan while the fourth stamp depicted a motif . The stamps were inscribed `` 15th August 1947 '' because of the prevailing confusion of actual date of independence . In 1997 , Pakistan celebrated its 50th anniversary of independence . The State Bank of Pakistan issued a special banknote of rupee 5 depicting the tomb of Baha - ud - din Zakariya on 13 August 1997 , commemorating the 50th independence day . On the front of the note a star burst is encircled by Fifty Years Anniversary of Freedom in Urdu and ' 1947 -- 1997 ' in numerals . In November 1997 , the 1997 Wills Golden Jubilee Tournament was held in Gaddafi Stadium , Lahore to mark the golden jubilee . During the final of the tournament , Pakistan Cricket Board honoured all the living test cricket captains of Pakistan by parading them in horse - drawn carriages and presenting them with gold medals . On 14 August 2004 , Pakistan displayed the largest flag of the time with the dimensions of 340 by 510 feet ( 100 m × 160 m ) . Since 2011 , the Google Pakistan homepage has featured special doodles designed with Pakistani symbols to mark Pakistan 's Independence Day .

By the end of 1945 , he and the Commander - in - chief , General Auckinleck were advising that there was a real threat in 1946 of large scale anti-British disorder amounting to even a well - organised rising aiming to expel the British by paralysing the administration . ... it was clear to Attlee that everything depended on the spirit and reliability of the Indian Army : `` Provided that they do their duty , armed insurrection in India would not be an insoluble problem . If , however , the Indian Army was to go the other way , the picture would be very different . ... Thus , Wavell concluded , if the army and the police `` failed '' Britain would be forced to go .

8614269676817213354 | Synovial joint | Synovial joint - wikipedia Synovial joint Jump to : navigation , search Synovial joint Structure of synovial joint Types of synovial joints . Clockwise from top - right : Ball and socket joint , Condyloid joint , Plane joint , Saddle joint , Hinge joint and Pivot joint . Details Identifiers Latin junctura synovialis TA A03. 0.00. 020 FMA 7501 Anatomical terminology ( edit on Wikidata ) A synovial joint , also known as diarthrosis , joins bones with a fibrous joint capsule that is continuous with the periosteum of the joined bones , constitutes the outer boundary of a synovial cavity , and surrounds the bones ' articulating surfaces . The synovial cavity / joint is filled with synovial fluid . The joint capsule is made up of an outer layer , the articular capsule , which keeps the bones together structurally , and an inner layer , the synovial membrane , which seals in the synovial fluid . They are the most common and most movable type of joint in the body of a mammal . As with most other joints , synovial joints achieve movement at the point of contact of the articulating bones . Contents ( hide ) 1 Structure 1.1 Blood supply 1.2 Types 2 Function 3 Clinical significance 4 References Structure ( edit ) Synovial joints contain the following structures : Synovial cavity : all diarthroses have the characteristic space between the bones that is filled with synovial fluid Joint capsule : the fibrous capsule , continuous with the periosteum of articulating bones , surrounds the diarthrosis and unites the articulating bones ; the joint capsule consists of two layers - ( 1 ) the outer fibrous membrane that may contain ligaments and ( 2 ) the inner synovial membrane that secretes the lubricating , shock absorbing , and joint - nourishing synovial fluid ; the joint capsule is highly innervated , but without blood and lymph vessels , and receives nutrition from the surrounding blood supply via either diffusion ( a slow process ) or by convection , a far more efficient process achieved through exercise . Articular cartilage : the bones of a synovial joint are covered by this layer of hyaline cartilage that lines the epiphyses of joint end of bone with a smooth , slippery surface that does not bind them together ; articular cartilage functions to absorb shock and reduce friction during movement . Many , but not all , synovial joints also contain additional structures : Articular discs or menisci - the fibrocartilage pads between opposing surfaces in a joint Articular fat pads - adipose tissue pads that protect the articular cartilage , as seen in the infrapatellar fat pad in the knee Tendons - cords of dense regular connective tissue composed of parallel bundles of collagen fibers Accessory ligaments ( extracapsular and intracapsular ) - the fibers of some fibrous membranes are arranged in parallel bundles of dense regular connective tissue that are highly adapted for resisting strains to prevent extreme movements that may damage the articulation Bursae - saclike structures that are situated strategically to alleviate friction in some joints ( shoulder and knee ) that are filled with fluid that is similar to synovial fluid The bone surrounding the joint on the proximal side is sometimes called the plafond , especially in the talocrural joint . A damage to this occurs in a Gosselin fracture . Blood supply ( edit ) The blood supply of a synovial joint is derived from the arteries sharing in the anastomosis around the joint . Types ( edit ) There are six types of synovial joints . Some are relatively immobile , but are more stable . Others have multiple degrees of freedom , but at the expense of greater risk of injury . In ascending order of mobility , they are : Name Example Description Plane joints ( or gliding joint ) carpals of the wrist , acromioclavicular joint These joints allow only gliding or sliding movements , are multi-axial such as the articulation between vertebrae . Hinge joints elbow ( between the humerus and the ulna ) These joints act as a door hinge does , allowing flexion and extension in just one plane Pivot joints atlanto - axial joint , proximal radioulnar joint , and distal radioulnar joint One bone rotates about another Condyloid joints ( or ellipsoidal joints ) wrist joint ( radiocarpal joint ) A condyloid joint is a modified ball and socket joint that allow primary movement within two perpendicular axes , passive or secondary movement may occur on a third axes . Some classifications make a distinction between condyloid and ellipsoid joints ; these joints allow flexion , extension , abduction , and adduction movements ( circumduction ) . Saddle joints Carpometacarpal or trapeziometacarpal joint of thumb ( between the metacarpal and carpal - trapezium ) , sternoclavicular joint Saddle joints , where the two surfcaces are reciprocally concavoconvex in shape , which resemble a saddle , permit the same movements as the condyloid joints but allow greater movement Ball and socket joints `` universal Joint '' shoulder ( glenohumeral ) and hip joints These allow for all movements except gliding Compound joints / modified hinge joints knee joint condylar joint ( condyles of femur join with condyles of tibia ) and saddle joint ( lower end of femur joins with patella ) Function ( edit ) Main article : Anatomical terms of motion The movements possible with synovial joints are : abduction : movement away from the mid-line of the body adduction : movement toward the mid-line of the body extension : straightening limbs at a joint flexion : bending the limbs at a joint rotation : a circular movement around a fixed point Clinical significance ( edit ) The joint space equals the distance between the involved bones of the joint . A joint space narrowing is a sign of either ( or both ) osteoarthritis and inflammatory degeneration . The normal joint space is at least 2 mm in the hip ( at the superior acetabulum ) , at least 3 mm in the knee , and 4 -- 5 mm in the shoulder joint . For the temporomandibular joint , a joint space of between 1.5 and 4 mm is regarded as normal . Joint space narrowing is therefore a component of several radiographic classifications of osteoarthritis . References ( edit ) ^ Jump up to : Drake et al.

One night at 12 : 07 a.m. , Conor is visited by the tree - like Monster , who tells Conor it has come to tell him three true stories , after which Conor must tell the Monster his own story : the truth behind his nightmare , which Conor refuses to do . First story An old king who has lost his entire family ( his sons being killed in fierce battles and his wife committing suicide because of this ) , save a young grandson , remarries a beautiful young woman . He dies before the prince comes of age , and many believe the queen poisoned the king . Not wanting to hand the kingdom over to the prince in a year , she plots to marry the prince and remain queen . The prince runs away with a farm girl he loves . They stop and sleep under a yew tree ( the Monster ) , but in the morning he finds the young woman murdered . The prince tells the villagers that the queen , a witch , must have done it , and they rally to overthrow her . Before the commoners can reach the queen , the Monster carries her away to a far - off land where she lives out the rest of her life in peace . Though she was indeed a witch , she did not kill the farm girl or the king , who actually died of old age . The prince had murdered the farm girl himself in order to inspire his people to back him into overthrowing the queen . After the queen was taken to safety by the Monster , the prince continued to rule the kingdom in the grandfather 's place . Second story An apothecary follows old traditions and beliefs , using herbs and brews to cure ailments . His business becomes less popular as a local parson tells his congregation not to accept the apothecary 's old ways . When the parson 's two daughters become sick , the parson asks the apothecary to save their lives after all other resources are exhausted . When the apothecary asks why he should help a man who has turned people away from his skills and denied him the yew tree , his best source of healing ingredients , the parson promises to give him the tree and deliver the parishioners to him as customers . Yet the apothecary says that he can not help , and the girls die . The Monster awakens from the yew tree to destroy the parson 's house and raze it to the ground as punishment . While the apothecary was a greedy man , he was a healer and would have saved lives , including the girls ' , if the parson had allowed him his way of life . The parson was a man of belief , but was willing to discard his beliefs when they were in the way . The healing traditions followed by the apothecary require belief in order to work ; without the parson 's , the apothecary was unable to treat the two girls . Belief is half the cure . Third story A man was invisible because no one ever saw him . Tired of this , he summoned the Monster to ensure people would notice him . After people do notice him however , the man finds himself more alone than before . Fourth story Conor must confront his nightmare to tell the fourth story . His mother has been pulled to the edge of a cliff by a sudden collapse of the ground , and Conor must hold her hand to save her from falling . Eventually , his grip fails and his mother falls . The Monster forces Conor to confess the truth : Conor loosened his grip on purpose . While he could have held on longer , he let go in order to stop the pain of having to hold on . Through the Monster , Conor ultimately understands that although he does not want his mother to die , it is something he must accept , and he must not feel guilty for wanting it to be over so he does not have to feel pain anymore . After this , Conor returns , with the Monster by his side , to comfort his mother one last time , and she dies at 12 : 07 . He returns home with his grandmother , with whom he has reached an understanding , and she gives Conor the room that used to be his mother 's . In the room , he finds his mother 's old art book , which depicts the stories that were told to him by the Monster , and a drawing of his mother as a child with the Monster .

Roberts Jr. , JAGC , USN is a fictional character in the JAG TV series played by Patrick Labyorteaux . The character has also appeared twice on NCIS Contents ( hide ) 1 Character arc 1.1 On NCIS 2 Dates of rank 3 Awards and decorations 4 Nuclear Football 5 References Character arc ( edit ) Son of a retired Master Chief , Roberts joined the Navy , and as an Ensign was assigned to sea duty aboard the USS Seahawk as the Public Affairs officer under Captain Ross . It was during this role as the PAO aboard the Seahawk , that he first met Lt. Harmon Rabb , and his partner Lt. ( j.g. ) Caitlin Pike , when they arrived to investigate a murder ; this got him interested in a career in law , and it was later Lt. ( j.g. ) Meg Austin who recommended him for transfer to JAG prior to her own transfer from JAG staff . He attended law school in the evenings at George Mason University School of Law and , upon scoring top grades in his finals , was assigned extra legal responsibilities and acted as a trial counsel for special courts - martial . Sarah MacKenzie and his wife Harriet Sims are the only people Roberts will allow to view his law school grades . He , his younger brother Mikey ( Michael Bellisario ) and sister Winifred ( Winnie ) had a somewhat strained relationship with their father , who raised them himself after the death of their mother , due to his physical and sometimes abusive methods of disciplining them . Bud 's last meeting with LCDR Rabb prior to his transfer to JAG Headquarters was in the first - season episode `` Skeleton Crew , '' when Rabb had been dispatched to investigate the murder of a former Academy classmate ( and a love interest ) . Roberts is well liked and well respected by everyone at JAG headquarters , and is often considered one of the better trial lawyers there . His success rate in the courtroom is often contributed to by his opponents ' underestimation of him and his abilities . Harm had once said of him , `` Watch out for his ' Aw , shucks , I have a lot to learn ' routine '' , alluding to Roberts ' ability to appear less intelligent than he actually was . After returning to JAG headquarters following the loss of his right leg from a landmine , Bud was assigned to working Disability cases ; he proved his worth to JAG when he investigated and successfully turned in a refusal of benefits when he noticed a sailor damaging his eyes with self - inflicted laser burns . Shortly thereafter , Bud returned to full limited duty in the court room . Though not the physical type , Bud has been known to become so when the situation demands it ; he once caught a punch thrown by his father , and was able to subdue the larger man without difficulty . The incident where his jaw was broken when he stepped between two simultaneous punches from Rabb and the Australian officer Lt. Cmdr Mic Brumby outside of an Australian courtroom had more to do with the physical limitations of the human body than lack of physical prowess . At the time of the taping , actor Patrick Labyorteaux had earlier suffered an accident that had broken his jaw , causing it to be wired shut and producers opted to write it into the storyline . LtJG Roberts married Ensign Harriet Sims in 1998 . Together , they had five children : A.J. Roberts ( named in the honor of RAdm A.J. Chegwidden , however not taking his proper first and middle names Albert Jethro . ) Sarah Roberts ( named in the honor of Lt. Col Sarah MacKenzie ) . Unfortunately , the child died due to complications in childbirth . James Kirk Roberts ( named in the honor of Capt James T. Kirk ) . Bud was a big Star Trek fan . Unnamed twins ( a boy and a girl ) born towards the end of the series ( the girl is called Nikki in episode `` Straits of Malacca '' ) . Lieutenant Roberts was assigned as Judge Advocate on the USS Seahawk during the beginning of the War on Terrorism in 2002 . He lost a leg trying to save a boy from a field of landmines in Afghanistan that year . He was transferred back to JAG HQ after his operation and proving that he was still able to meet the fitness requirements of the U.S. Navy . Roberts was promoted to the rank of Lieutenant Commander in 2004 in `` Hail and Farewell '' Part 1 , which was the final act of command of the Judge Advocate General , Rear Admiral A.J. Chegwidden , at his dining out . Bud had already been passed over for promotion twice , meaning that if he were to be passed over a third time , he would have been involuntarily separated from the Navy . In the series ' final episode , LCDR Roberts chose to remain at JAG HQ after being offered billets by Captain Rabb and Lt. Col MacKenzie . On NCIS ( edit ) Bud Roberts also appears in the first season of the JAG spin - off NCIS , during his tenure on JAG , where Special Agent Gibbs hopes Roberts will help `` lawyer '' him past a prohibition on the use of the DNA profiles stored by the Department of Defense . He then reappears after an absence of more than eleven years in the fourteenth season , having been promoted to Captain and still assigned to JAG Headquarters , where he meets up with Timothy McGee and assisted the NCIS MCRT in the investigation of the homicide of a fellow JAG officer . McGee asks him about Harm and Mac , but Roberts is interrupted by the arrival of NCIS Special Agent Alexandra Quinn before he can reveal the results of the series ' infamous final coin toss . Bud Roberts and AJ Chegwidden ( played by John M. Jackson ) are thus far the only two characters from the regular JAG cast who have appeared in NCIS as the same character they played in the parent show . Dates of rank ( edit ) Rank Date Ensign Original rank from the Pilot episode Lieutenant Junior Grade sometime between episode 1.22 Skeleton Crew ( unaired ) and episode 2.01 We the People ( original air date January 3 , 1997 ) Lieutenant in episode 4.19 The Adversaries ( original air date April 13 , 1999 ) Lieutenant Commander in episode 9.23 Hail and Farewell ( Part 1 ) ( original air date May 21 , 2004 ) Commander ( off - camera - not in episodes ) Presumably five or six years after his previous promotion in relation to Time In Rank / Eligibility to be promoted . Captain prior to his appearance in NCIS 's fourteenth season . ( original air date September 20 , 2016 ) Awards and decorations ( edit ) The following are the medals and service awards fictionally worn by Bud Roberts , as seen in the NCIS episode `` Rogue '' . The names are given in order of precedence , according to SECNAVINST 1650.1 F and the U.S. Navy Uniform Regulations ( NAVPERS 1566.5 G ) . Purple Heart Meritorious Service Medal Joint Service Commendation Medal Navy and Marine Corps Commendation Medal with one star Navy and Marine Corps Achievement Medal Joint Meritorious Unit Award Navy Unit Commendation with one star National Defense Service Medal with one star Global War on Terrorism Expeditionary Medal Global War on Terrorism Service Medal Humanitarian Service Medal Sea Service Deployment Ribbon Bud was awarded the Purple Heart after stepping on a landmine , and losing his right leg . Nuclear football ( edit ) In one episode , Lieutenant Roberts was selected to carry the nuclear football . He had trepidations about this duty , as he was worried that he would be responsible for the deaths of many innocent people . While he was on duty as the Military Aide to the White House , the President whose `` nuclear football '' he was guarding ( George W. Bush ) attended a conference . During this conference , Bud had to go to the bathroom . When he reemerges , the President is gone . Bud then runs the three miles to the White House with the 40 pound nuclear football . This closely resembles a real event , when President Bill Clinton once left a meeting in such haste that he left behind his military aide , who then ran to the White House .

Eric Camden ( edit ) Stephen Collins as Rev. Eric Camden Rev. Eric Camden ( played by Stephen Collins ) was raised in Binghamton , New York by his parents , Colonel John Camden and Ruth Lynch . Based on the episode `` Halloween '' ( season 1 ) , it appears that Eric was born in 1954 ( which would make him 42 years old at the time ) . According to the episode `` One Hundred '' ( season 5 ) , his birthday is in January . Eric attended college for five years and graduated from Cobell Seminary . Shortly thereafter , he married and began a family with Annie Jackson . He has one sister , Julie Camden - Hastings , who ends up marrying the doctor that delivered Eric and Annie 's oldest ( Matt ) , as well as the youngest ( Sam and David ) children . After his heart - bypass operation , he decides to leave the ministry and even stop attending church . He renews his faith and returns to church in time to marry Kevin and Lucy ( near the end of season 7 ) . Annie Camden ( edit ) Catherine Hicks as Annie Camden Annie Camden ( née Jackson ) ( played by Catherine Hicks ) is the wife of Eric and mother of Matt , Mary , Lucy , Simon , Ruthie , Sam , and David . She has a half - sister named Lily , through her father , Charles Jackson . Her mother is Jenny Jackson . During her college education , Annie studied everything from art to business and economics , and in later seasons returned to school to earn a degree in early childhood education . Though she has chosen to be a stay - at - home mother , Annie is a jack of all trades . She balances a family of nine on a minister 's pay , is a plumber , builder , seamstress , cook , and much more . She also serves , from time to time , as the treasurer for the church . Annie is the backbone of her family . The mother of seven , she is often the one who the children come to talk to , often over milk and cookies . She tries , with her husband , to instill strong morals in her children . She is noted as hoping Ruthie will not follow in her footsteps or of her two other daughters and marry too young . She hopes Ruthie will take the time to travel first . Annie is the only daughter of her parents . Her mother , Jenny , dies early in the first season from cancer , a death that strikes Annie hard . Harder yet is her father 's quick bounce to a relationship with Ginger . During one episode , Annie leaves the church after her father brings Ginger to service . Mary chases her and is struck by a car . Annie accepts Ginger slowly and Ginger and her father wed . Her father suffers from Alzheimer 's disease and Annie spends more and more time with him in Arizona before he dies . Annie is quoted in later seasons as saying that she likes Ginger a lot more now that her parents are back together . In an early season , Annie learned of an illegitimate daughter her father had with his high school girlfriend . She eventually meets this half - sister , Lily , and the two form a relationship over time . In 2009 , she was included in Yahoo ! 's Top 10 TV Moms from Six Decades of Television for the decade 1996 -- 2007 . Matt Camden ( edit ) Matthew `` Matt '' Camden ( played by Barry Watson ) ( born 1980 ) is Annie and Eric 's firstborn . In the beginning of the series , Matt is a junior in high school . Matt sacrifices his school time to help others ; if they wished to remain anonymous , he would respect that and not even tell his father . During high school , he bounces from job to job , including tutor and Dairy Shack delivery driver . He is not always a star student , but he manages to graduate at the top of his class and get accepted for a White House internship in Washington , D.C. with First Lady Hillary Clinton . He returns to Glenoak for college , rooming with friend and fellow `` P.K. '' John Hamilton . Matt 's new uncle , Dr. Hank Hastings ( who had actually delivered him ) , helps him get a job in the hospital cafeteria ; during his time there , he decides to become a doctor . He ends up working at a women 's clinic with Hank , beginning by helping save the life of a woman who could not get anyone but Matt to take her symptoms of an ectopic pregnancy seriously . He meets Sarah Glass ( played by Sarah Danielle Madison ) , a fellow medical student , just when he really wished to meet the one who would be the love of his life . Their first date ends with them getting married . Because Sarah is the daughter of a rabbi ( played by Richard Lewis ) who wants his daughter to marry a Jewish man , they initially keep their marriage a secret . They eventually have a large family wedding presided over jointly by their proud fathers , who almost called off the wedding feuding over Matt , who plans to convert to Judaism . Matt and Sarah move to New York to attend medical school , and while there have been problems , they have remained happy together . Near the series ' end , they graduate from medical school and announce that they are expecting twin boys , who are born the following summer . It is also shown throughout the series that he knows American Sign Language , a result of his relationship with Heather , making him bilingual . Simon Camden ( edit ) David Gallagher as Simon Camden Simon Camden ( played by David Gallagher ) ( born 1986 ) is the fourth child and second son . In the early part of the series , he is known to his siblings as `` The Bank of Simon '' because he always seems to have money , and he loves to make money . His other interests have included golf , magic , and cars . During the pilot episode , Simon 's most fervent wish is for a dog . When asked to say grace before the family had dinner , he even includes a dog request in his prayer . Although his parents do not think he is mature enough for the responsibility of a pet , Annie goes to the pound `` just to look '' and falls in love with a dog who was scheduled to be euthanized . This dog became the Camdens ' beloved `` Happy . '' He meets a girl named Deena in sixth grade , and finds out that Eric consoled her family years ago when she was diagnosed with leukemia . They date for the majority of middle school , but break up on the last day of eighth grade , though they remain friends . High school is a rough transition for Simon , despite help from his bubbly , popular big sister Lucy . He dates a girl named Cecilia Smith ( Ashlee Simpson ) , and they even consider furthering their relationship sexually , but decide against it . The summer before his senior year , Simon accidentally hits and kills a boy named Paul Smith , who was Ruthie 's age . Since Paul was on a bicycle with no helmet and later proven to be under the influence of drugs , the death is ruled accidental and Simon is not brought up on criminal charges . However , Simon ca n't stop blaming himself for the accident and also fears retaliation from Paul 's older brother . He passes the CHSPE and leaves school early to start college . While in college , partly as a way to cope with his guilty feelings and low self - esteem , he breaks the family 's edict of not having premarital sex . Simon has three serious girlfriends over the course of the show : Deena , Cecilia and Rose . Simon later gets involved with a girl that he knew from college named Sandy , who has a son named Aaron , fathered by Martin Brewer . Simon provides emotional and , at one point , maybe even physical support for Sandy and her son . After a scare involving his girlfriend Georgia being pregnant ( it is later revealed that she only made the claim so Simon would stay with her ) , he meets Rose . Rose and Simon fall deeply in love , get engaged , and plan a wedding . They finally get to the wedding day , but they decide to not get married because neither is ready for marriage , and Rose still has feelings for an ex-boyfriend . Near the end of the series , Sandy and her son Aaron show up to the party after the non-wedding , and Sandy says she needs to talk to him . However , it is not revealed what Sandy wanted to tell Simon , but it is assumed that it is about Aaron 's paternity ; it had been hinted that Simon was in fact Aaron 's father . Season 11 , confirmed he is not the father . Simon eventually goes on to marry someone else or get engaged ( as hinted by Ruthie in season 11 ) , but it is unknown who , although we do find out that he graduates from college . Mary Camden ( edit ) Jessica Biel as Mary Camden Mary Camden - Rivera ( played by Jessica Biel ) ( born 1982 ) is the eldest daughter of Eric and Annie . By the time she is 14 , Mary is an aspiring athlete with an immense love for basketball . As the months progress , she seems to rise in both ability and confidence ( so much so that she wants to play in the WNBA someday ) until she is hit by a car before the end of her freshman year , critically injuring her knee . She has a series of different boyfriends . She dates Wilson West , a guy she meets at the park while with Ruthie , who becomes her first love . He later reveals to Mary that he had sex with a sixteen - year - old girl , and got her pregnant . The girl died in childbirth , leaving Wilson with a son , Billy ( actually named Wilson Jr . ) . By her senior year , she and her basketball teammates allow their grades to slip , which causes their coach to impose a lockout on them . After a secret meeting , the team decides to enact their frustrations by vandalizing the school gym . They are caught at the scene of the crime , and are arrested . Through a special program for first offenders , Mary is able to evade serious punishment by doing community service , which is where she meets Robbie Palmer . When she gets her driver 's license , she ca n't parallel park but , on Lucy 's advice , cries about it and the driving instructor compassionately gives her a passing grade . Mary has a dream of playing pro for the Lakers , and thinks that when her coach rings her up that this is the dream coming true , but it 's actually training disabled people for the Special Olympics . Mary decides not to go to college since she lost her scholarship , but work instead . She can not hold down a job , being fired everywhere , from The Pool Hall to Pete 's Pizza . While working at Pete 's , she meets Frankie and Johnny , a young , drug - addicted married couple who have a baby girl named Mercy . Eric and Annie learn that Mary has been caught drinking while babysitting her cousin , Erica , pulled over by a cop , and given a warning , and that she has numerous debts to credit card companies , insurance companies , and to her family . Not wanting Mary to hit rock bottom , Eric and Annie decide it is best that she go to Buffalo because they ca n't give her the attention she needs . She lives with her grandparents , works at a homeless shelter in the fall , and starts college in the winter . Her departure causes some people in the church community to think that Mary had an unplanned pregnancy , but Eric quickly refutes the rumor . She leaves home angry at her entire family , whom she sees as betraying her , and refuses to speak to her father . In time , she calms down and plans to return home for the summer , as she and Robbie start dating again . While in New York , she discovers that Wilson is also living there . Instead of staying in Glenoak for the summer like she originally planned , she breaks up with Robbie and moves back to New York and starts dating Wilson . After getting advice from the Colonel , she decides to get a job in public service . When she ca n't become a police officer because she is not old enough , she applies for a position as a firefighter , and , after the Colonel pulls some strings , she gets into the firefighter program . When she starts training , she meets Ben Kinkirk , who is also in training . He comes over to her place and they kiss , which Wilson walks in on . The two break up and she returns home to California for a time , but on a trip to New York with Lucy , she reveals that she is moving back to New York to train to be a flight attendant . She begins dating a pilot , Jack , who is the same age as her father , though this does not last . She moves to Florida for a time to get away from her family . While in Florida , Mary runs into Carlos Rivera , a man she had met while volunteering at a homeless shelter years earlier , and who the Camdens took in during the holiday season . Carlos and Mary get married shortly after Lucy , and they reveal her pregnancy and the marriage to her family at that time . Her parents visit at the birth of her son , Charles Miguel `` Charlie '' , named in honor of her and Carlos ' late grandfathers . They eventually divorce and Carlos takes Charlie back to Puerto Rico when Mary gives her parental rights up . It is announced by Carlos when he attends Simon 's wedding that the two are back together and that Mary is expecting twin girls . Though Mary is not at Simon 's wedding , she is able to still see her family the next day , as she finally graduates from college the same day as Matt and Sarah . During the following summer , Mary gives birth to twin daughters . Lucy Camden - Kinkirk ( edit ) Lucy Camden - Kinkirk ( played by Beverley Mitchell ) ( born 1983 ) is the third Camden child , and second daughter . Lucy is known ( in the earlier seasons ) for the many boyfriends she has , as well as being overly dramatic . Until season 4 , she is often seen as `` less than '' her sister Mary and her emotions often get her into trouble . By the time she reaches her junior year in high school , however , Lucy becomes much more settled and switches positions with Mary , becoming the good kid . Her first boyfriend is Jimmy Moon . She has one `` normal '' relationship with him , but they break up . In the beginning of season two , she is crying all summer and says that Jimmy is dating Ashley . At one point , she gets arrested for being in the area where Jimmy is dealing drugs . Later , Jimmy is shown when he had some problems with drugs , and the last time is when Lucy had a case as juror ( though nobody told her what it was about ; because she knew the defendant personally , she was dismissed ) . In school , she has lots of friends and is popular -- including being nominated for homecoming queen in her senior year . She has a very good relationship with her friend Mike , who is placed in a mental hospital and is otherwise ostracized . Although Mike likes Lucy , it never quite works out . Later Lucy becomes engaged to Mike 's friend , Jeremy , but they eventually break it off . In season seven , she marries Kevin Kinkirk and has a daughter named Savannah ( Leigh ) ( season 9 ) . They live in the apartment above the garage at the Camdens ' house up until Savannah is a few months old . She also becomes pregnant with twin boys , which she loses in a miscarriage that deeply upsets her emotional state -- though she eventually recovers . At the end of the summer , she tells Kevin that she does n't want to have any more children . She is a working mother ( working as an associate pastor ) , while her husband Kevin is a stay - at - home dad . However , Kevin is offered a job as a police sheriff in `` Crossroads '' . Later on , Lucy helps a young woman named Sandy with her pregnancy , and they soon become friends . In the end , Lucy continues as a minister , friend , mother and wife . She is offered another position in a different town as a minister , and announces that she is pregnant once again with twin daughters . Ruthie Camden ( edit ) Ruthie Camden ( played by Mackenzie Rosman ) ( born 1991 ) is the youngest daughter . She is named in honor of her paternal grandmother . During her youth , she is portrayed as the rather precocious family sneak who loves horses . She ages rapidly over the show 's run , beginning pre-Kindergarten during the first season and ending the series graduating high school a year early at age 17 . One of her teachers tries to call her `` Ruth '' as she assumes it is her given name , but Ruthie says her given name is `` Ruthie '' . In later seasons , she tells Robbie she has never had a nickname . She and Simon have lots of fun together as children , and become very close as they move toward maturity . Ruthie is the only one to briefly attend a private school , but she leaves it in protest that her friend Yasmine is being denied admission because she is a Muslim . During her freshman year she develops feelings for Camden houseguest Martin Brewer and even tells him she loves him -- but quickly covers by adding `` as a brother . '' In her sophomore year of high school she begins to wear makeup and dates older boys in the hope that this would lead to a relationship with Martin . In season ten 's `` Love and Obsession '' , she dreams everything from Martin telling her that a paternity test had proved that Simon , not Martin , is Aaron 's father ; to there being no Aaron at all because Martin had never met Sandy . When her former boyfriend and first love Peter returns during this time , she realizes that she had moved on from him . After ignoring Sandy for most of her pregnancy , Martin is present for Aaron 's birth , as are both of Aaron 's grandfathers - to - be . Upon Aaron 's birth Martin leaves Glenoak for college ; he now lives near his son . This leaves Ruthie heartbroken , but by the time Martin finally admits to her that he loves her , she is in love with new Camden houseguest T - Bone . Ruthie and T - Bone love each other very much and even get tattoos of each other 's names . Well Ruthie gets T - Bone name but T - Bone was scared of the needle so he just got Ruthies initials R.C. After an argument they break up . Ruthie starts seeing Martin briefly . Martin says he wants to work things out with her but Ruthie chooses T - Bone and then Ruthie and T - Bone get back together . Ruthie decides to graduate from high school early and that she and T - Bone want to travel the world together . After her graduation , Ruthie with T - Bone join the whole family , and the other current Camden house guests , for an RV road trip that includes a stop at Simon 's college graduation and that after that Ruthie and T - Bone plan to go travel the world together . Sam and David Camden ( edit ) Samuel `` Sam '' and David Camden ( born 1999 ) are fraternal twin boys and the youngest of the Camden children . They were originally played by all four Brino quadruplets ; Lorenzo , Myrinda , Nikolas , and Zachary , but once the quads started aging and showing differences between them , Lorenzo and Nikolas became the official actors for Sam and David . Sam and David are born during episode fourteen of season three ( `` In Praise of Women '' ) . This episode was The WB 's most watched hour . They were partly named after the R&B duo Sam and Dave . Happy ( edit ) Happy the Dog debuts in the pilot episode , `` Anything You Want '' , in which Simon begs his parents for a dog , and also prays to God about it . One day , he is up in his attic and he hears a faint bark . He then looks out the window and a dog is sitting in the front yard . Later ( in the two - part season two finale ) , the daughter of Happy 's previous owners sees their dog ( they called her Whitey ) on TV and wants her back .

"While in New York, she discovers that Wilson is also living there. Instead of staying in Glenoak for the summer like she originally planned, she breaks up with Robbie and moves back to New York and starts dating Wilson. After getting advice from the Colonel, she decides to get a job in public service. When she can’t become a police officer because she is not old enough, she applies for a position as a firefighter, and, after the Colonel pulls some strings, she gets into the firefighter program. When she starts training, she meets Ben Kinkirk, who is also in training. He comes over to her place and they kiss, which Wilson walks in on. The two break up and she returns home to California for a time, but on a trip to New York with Lucy, she reveals that she is moving back to New York to train to be a flight attendant. She begins dating a pilot, Jack, who is the same age as her father, though this does not last. She moves to Florida for a time to get away from her family. While in Florida, Mary runs into Carlos Rivera, a man she had met while volunteering at a homeless shelter years earlier, and who the Camdens took in during the holiday season. Carlos and Mary get married shortly after Lucy, and they reveal her pregnancy and the marriage to her family at that time. Her parents visit at the birth of her son, Charles Miguel \"Charlie\", named in honor of her and Carlos' late grandfathers. They eventually divorce and Carlos takes Charlie back to Puerto Rico when Mary gives her parental rights up. It is announced by Carlos when he attends Simon's wedding that the two are back together and that Mary is expecting twin girls. Though Mary is not at Simon's wedding, she is able to still see her family the next day, as she finally graduates from college the same day as Matt and Sarah. During the following summer, Mary gives birth to twin daughters."

The occlusion may be made with the tongue blade ( ( t ) , ( d ) ) or body ( ( k ) , ( ɡ ) ) , lips ( ( p ) , ( b ) ) , or glottis ( ( ʔ ) ) . Stops contrast with nasals , where the vocal tract is blocked but airflow continues through the nose , as in / m / and / n / , and with fricatives , where partial occlusion impedes but does not block airflow in the vocal tract .

Linguists who distinguish them may not agree on the distinction being made . The terms refer to different features of the consonant . `` Stop '' refers to the airflow that is stopped . `` Occlusive '' refers to the articulation , which occludes ( blocks ) the vocal tract . `` Plosive '' refers to the release burst ( plosion ) of the consonant . Therefore , a plosive is a stop that is released , typically into a more open speech sound such as a vowel . It is inaccurate to call an unreleased stop a plosive . Rather , such stops are `` applosives '' . Either `` occlusive '' or `` stop '' may be used as a general term covering the other together with nasals . That is , ' occlusive ' may be defined as oral occlusives ( stops / plosives ) plus nasal occlusives ( nasals such as ( m ) , ( n ) ) , or ' stop ' may be defined as oral stops ( plosives ) plus nasal stops ( nasals ) . Ladefoged and Maddieson ( 1996 ) prefer to restrict ' stop ' to oral occlusives . They say , what we call simply nasals are called nasal stops by some linguists . We avoid this phrase , preferring to reserve the term ' stop ' for sounds in which there is a complete interruption of airflow . In addition , they use `` plosive '' for a pulmonic stop ; `` stops '' in their usage include ejective and implosive consonants . If a term such as ' plosive ' is used for oral obstruents , and nasals are not called nasal stops , then a stop may mean the glottal stop ; ' plosive ' may even mean non-glottal stop . In other cases , however , it may be the word ' plosive ' that is restricted to the glottal stop . Note that , generally speaking , stops do not have plosion ( a release burst ) . In English , for example , there are stops with no audible release , such as the / p / in apt . However , pulmonic stops do have plosion in other environments . In Ancient Greek , the term for stop was ἄφωνον ( áphōnon ) , which means `` unpronounceable '' , `` voiceless '' , or `` silent '' , because stops could not be pronounced without a vowel . This term was calqued into Latin as mūta , and from there borrowed into English as mute . Mute was sometimes used instead for voiceless consonants , whether stops or fricatives , a usage that was later replaced with surd , from Latin surdus `` deaf '' or `` silent '' , a term still occasionally seen in the literature . For more information on the Ancient Greek terms , see Ancient Greek phonology § Terminology . Common stops ( edit ) All languages in the world have stops , and most have at least the voiceless stops ( p ) , ( t ) , and ( k ) . However , there are exceptions : Colloquial Samoan lacks the coronal ( t ) , and several North American languages , such as the northern Iroquoian and southern Iroquoian languages ( i.e. , Cherokee ) , lack the labial ( p ) . In fact , the labial is the least stable of the voiceless stops in the languages of the world , as the unconditioned sound change ( p ) → ( f ) ( → ( h ) → Ø ) is quite common in unrelated languages , having occurred in the history of Classical Japanese , Classical Arabic , and Proto - Celtic , for instance . Formal Samoan has only one word with velar ( k ) ; colloquial Samoan conflates / t / and / k / to / k / . Ni'ihau Hawaiian has ( t ) for / k / to a greater extent than Standard Hawaiian , but neither distinguish a / k / from a / t / . It may be more accurate to say that Hawaiian and colloquial Samoan do not distinguish velar and coronal stops than to say they lack one or the other . See Common occlusives for the distribution of both stops and nasals . Articulation ( edit ) In the articulation of the stop , three phases can be distinguished : Catch : The airway closes so that no air can escape ( hence the name stop ) . Hold or occlusion : The airway stays closed , causing a slight pressure difference to build up ( hence the name occlusive ) . Release or burst : The closure is opened . The released airflow produces a sudden impulse causing an audible sound , or burst ( hence the name plosive ) . In many languages , such as Malay and Vietnamese , word - final stops lack a release burst , even when followed by a vowel , or have a nasal release . See no audible release . Nasal occlusives are somewhat similar . In the catch and hold , airflow continues through the nose ; in the release , there is no burst , and final nasals are typically unreleased across most languages . In affricates , the catch and hold are those of a stop , but the release is that of a fricative . That is , affricates are stop -- fricative contours . Classification ( edit ) Voice ( edit ) Voiced stops are pronounced with vibration of the vocal cords , voiceless stops without . Stops are commonly voiceless , and many languages , such as Mandarin Chinese and Hawaiian , have only voiceless stops . Others , such as most Australian languages , are indeterminate : stops may vary between voiced and voiceless without distinction . Aspiration ( edit ) In aspirated stops , the vocal cords ( vocal folds ) are abducted at the time of release . In a prevocalic aspirated stop ( a stop followed by a vowel or sonorant ) , the time when the vocal cords begin to vibrate will be delayed until the vocal folds come together enough for voicing to begin , and will usually start with breathy voicing . The duration between the release of the stop and the voice onset is called the voice onset time ( VOT ) or the aspiration interval . Highly aspirated stops have a long period of aspiration , so that there is a long period of voiceless airflow ( a phonetic ( h ) ) before the onset of the vowel . In tenuis stops , the vocal cords come together for voicing immediately following the release , and there is little or no aspiration ( a voice onset time close to zero ) . In English , there may be a brief segment of breathy voice that identifies the stop as voiceless and not voiced . In voiced stops , the vocal folds are set for voice before the release , and often vibrate during the entire hold , and in English , the voicing after release is not breathy . A stop is called `` fully voiced '' if it is voiced during the entire occlusion . In English , however , initial voiced stops like / # b / or / # d / may have no voicing during the period of occlusion , or the voicing may start shortly before the release and continue after release , though word - final stops tend to be fully voiced : In most dialects of English , the final g in the bag is likely to be fully voiced , whereas the initial b will only be voiced during part of its occlusion . Initial voiceless stops , like the p in pie , are aspirated , with a palpable puff of air upon release , whereas a stop after an s , as in spy , is tenuis ( unaspirated ) . When spoken near a candle flame , the flame will flicker more after the words par , tar , and car are articulated , compared with spar , star , and scar . In the common pronunciation of papa , the initial p is aspirated whereas the medial p is not . Length ( edit ) In a geminate or long consonant , the occlusion lasts longer than in simple consonants . In languages where stops are only distinguished by length ( e.g. , Arabic , Ilwana , Icelandic ) , the long stops may be held up to three times as long as the short stops . Italian is well known for its geminate stops , as the double t in the name Vittoria takes just as long to say as the ct does in English Victoria . Japanese also prominently features geminate consonants , such as in the minimal pair 来 た kita ' came ' and 切っ た kitta ' cut ' . Note that there are many languages where the features voice , aspiration , and length reinforce each other , and in such cases it may be hard to determine which of these features predominates . In such cases , the terms fortis is sometimes used for aspiration or gemination , whereas lenis is used for single , tenuous , or voiced stops . Be aware , however , that the terms fortis and lenis are poorly defined , and their meanings vary from source to source . Nasalization ( edit ) Further information : Nasal consonant and Nasalization Simple nasals are differentiated from stops only by a lowered velum that allows the air to escape through the nose during the occlusion . Nasals are acoustically sonorants , as they have a non-turbulent airflow and are nearly always voiced , but they are articulatorily obstruents , as there is complete blockage of the oral cavity . The term occlusive may be used as a cover term for both nasals and stops . A prenasalized stop starts out with a lowered velum that raises during the occlusion . The closest examples in English are consonant clusters such as the ( nd ) in candy , but many languages have prenasalized stops that function phonologically as single consonants . Swahili is well known for having words beginning with prenasalized stops , as in ndege ' bird ' , and in many languages of the South Pacific , such as Fijian , these are even spelled with single letters : b ( mb ) , d ( nd ) . A postnasalized stop begins with a raised velum that lowers during the occlusion . This causes an audible nasal release , as in English sudden . This could also be compared to the / dn / cluster found in Russian and other Slavic languages , which can be seen in the name of the Dnieper River . Note that the terms prenasalization and postnasalization are normally used only in languages where these sounds are phonemic : that is , not analyzed into sequences of stop plus nasal . Airstream mechanism ( edit ) Stops may be made with more than one airstream mechanism . The normal mechanism is pulmonic egressive , that is , with air flowing outward from the lungs . All languages have pulmonic stops . Some languages have stops made with other mechanisms as well : ejective stops ( glottalic egressive ) , implosive stops ( glottalic ingressive ) , or click consonants ( lingual ingressive ) . Tenseness ( edit ) Further information : Tenseness A fortis stop ( in the narrow sense ) is produced with more muscular tension than a lenis stop ( in the narrow sense ) . However , this is difficult to measure , and there is usually debate over the actual mechanism of alleged fortis or lenis consonants . There are a series of stops in the Korean language , sometimes written with the IPA symbol for ejectives , which are produced using `` stiff voice '' , meaning there is increased contraction of the glottis than for normal production of voiceless stops . The indirect evidence for stiff voice is in the following vowels , which have a higher fundamental frequency than those following other stops . The higher frequency is explained as a result of the glottis being tense . Other such phonation types include breathy voice , or murmur ; slack voice ; and creaky voice .

His father is of half Puerto Rican and half Ashkenazi Jewish descent ( from Ukraine and Hungary ) , and is originally from Brooklyn , New York . His mother emigrated from the Philippines to Hawaii as a child , and was of Filipino , and some Spanish , ancestry . His parents met while performing in a show in which his mother was a hula dancer and his father played percussion . At the age of two , he was nicknamed `` Bruno '' by his father , because of his resemblance to professional wrestler Bruno Sammartino . Mars is one of six children and came from a musical family which exposed him to a diverse mix of genres including : reggae , rock , hip hop , and R&B . His mother was both a singer and a dancer , and his father performed Little Richard rock and roll music . Mars ' uncle was an Elvis impersonator , and also encouraged three - year - old Mars to perform on stage . Mars performed songs by artists such as Michael Jackson , The Isley Brothers , and The Temptations . At the age of four , Mars began performing five days a week with his family 's band , The Love Notes , and became known on the island for his impersonation of Presley . In 1990 , Mars was featured in MidWeek as `` Little Elvis '' , and later appeared in a cameo role in the film Honeymoon in Vegas ( 1992 ) , and performed in the halftime show of the 1990 Aloha Bowl . The time Mars spent impersonating Presley had a major impact on his musical evolution and performing techniques . He later began playing guitar after being inspired by Jimi Hendrix . In 2010 , he also acknowledged his Hawaiian roots and musical family as an influence , explaining : `` Growing up in Hawaii made me the man I am . I used to do a lot of shows in Hawaii with my father 's band . Everybody in my family sings , everyone plays instruments ... I 've just been surrounded by it . '' When he attended President Theodore Roosevelt High School he performed in a group called The School Boys . After Mars ' sister in Los Angeles played Mars ' demo for Mike Lynn , ( the A&R at Dr. Dre 's Aftermath Entertainment ) , Lynn summoned Mars to Los Angeles . In 2003 , shortly after graduating from high school at the age of 17 , Mars moved to Los Angeles , California , to pursue a musical career . He adopted his stage name from the nickname his father gave him , adding `` Mars '' at the end because : `` I felt like I did n't have ( any ) pizzazz , and a lot of girls say I 'm out of this world , so I was like I guess I 'm from Mars . '' Moreover , the adoption of his stage name was also due to `` the music industry tried to pigeonhole him as another Latino artist , and even convinced him to sing in Spanish . '' 2004 -- 2010 : production work and it 's better if You do n't Understand `` I 'd always been a working musician in Hawaii and never had problems paying rent . And then it 's like , ' Now I 'm in L.A. and my phone 's getting shut off . ' That 's when reality hit . I started DJ - ing . It was something silly . I told this person I could DJ because they said they could pay me $75 cash under the table . I did n't know how to DJ . I lost that job pretty quick . '' -- Mars , speaking about his experiences of moving to Los Angeles to pursue a musical career . Shortly after moving to Los Angeles , Mars signed with Motown Records in 2004 , in a deal that `` went nowhere '' , and had a conversation with Will.i.am 's management which turned out to be fruitless . However , Mars ' experience with Motown proved to be beneficial to his career when he met songwriter and producer Philip Lawrence , who was also signed to the label . After Mars was dropped by the label less than a year after being signed , he stayed in Los Angeles and landed a music publishing deal in 2005 with Steve Lindsey and Cameron Strang at Westside Independent . `` Bruno came to the conclusion that the best way to further his career was writing and producing hit songs . '' -- Cameron Strang , speaking about developing Mars ' career . Lindsey showed Mars and Jeff Bhasker ( who Mars met through Mike Lynn ) the ins and outs of writing pop music , and acted as a mentor helping them to hone their craft . Bhasker explained that Lindsey would `` mentor us , and kind of give us lectures as to what a hit pop song is , because you can have talent and music ability , but understanding what makes a hit pop song is a whole other discipline . '' Mars played cover songs around Los Angeles in a band with Bhasker and Eric Hernandez , ( Mars ' brother ) , who is now The Hooligans ' drummer . When Lawrence was first told he should meet Mars he was reluctant to do so since he did not even have money for bus fare . Keith Harris , drummer for The Black Eyed Peas , told him : `` Whatever it costs you to get out here , I 'll reimburse you . '' Lawrence responded : `` Just give me five dollars back for the bus . '' The pair began collaborating , writing songs for Mars , but they received many rejections from labels . On the verge of giving up , they received a call from Brandon Creed , who was looking for songs for a reunited Menudo . He liked their song `` Lost '' , which was written for Mars . The duo did not want to give the song away , but when they were offered $20,000 for it they agreed . The sale of this song allowed them to continue working , and Mars and Lawrence decided that they would write and produce songs together for other artists . Eventually , Creed became Mars ' manager for nine years . In 2006 , Lawrence introduced Mars to his future A&R manager at Atlantic Records , Aaron Bay - Schuck . After hearing him play a couple of songs on the guitar , Bay - Schuck wanted to sign him immediately , but it took roughly three years for Atlantic records to finally sign Mars to the label , because they felt it was too early and that he still needed to develop as an artist . Before becoming a successful solo artist , Mars was an acknowledged music producer , writing songs for Alexandra Burke , Travie McCoy , Adam Levine , Brandy , Sean Kingston , and Flo Rida . He also co-wrote the Sugababes ' hit song `` Get Sexy '' and provided backing vocals on their album Sweet 7 . His first recorded appearance as a singer was on Far East Movement 's second studio album Animal , on the track `` 3D '' . He was also featured on pastor and hip hop artist Jaeson Ma 's debut single `` Love '' in August 2009 . He reached prominence as a solo artist after being featured on , and composing , under The Smeezingtons , B.o.B 's `` Nothin ' on You '' and Travie McCoy 's `` Billionaire '' ; both songs peaked within the top ten on many charts worldwide , with the former charting at number one in the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 and in the UK single charts . He said of them : `` I think those songs were n't meant to be full - sung songs . If I 'd sung all of `` Nothin ' on You '' , it might 've sounded like some ' 90s R&B . '' Following this success , Mars released his debut extended play ( EP ) , titled It 's Better If You Do n't Understand , on May 11 , 2010 . The EP peaked at number 99 on the Billboard 200 and a music video was released for the song `` The Other Side '' featuring singers CeeLo Green and B.o.B. Mars , under The Smeezingtons , collaborated with Green once more composing the single `` Fuck You '' . 2010 -- 2012 : Doo - Wops & Hooligans Bruno Mars playing the keyboard in a concert in Houston After serving as guest vocalist on B.o.B 's and Travie McCoy 's singles , Mars released `` Just the Way You Are '' on July 19 , 2010 . The song was the lead single from his debut studio album , Doo - Wops & Hooligans , and reached number one on the Billboard Hot 100 , Canada and in the UK , as well as several other charts worldwide . The song holds the record as the longest - reigning debut format hit , spending twenty weeks atop Adult Contemporary . He also released two promotional singles , `` Liquor Store Blues '' featuring Damian Marley and `` Grenade '' , before confirming the latter as the album 's second single on October 21 , 2010 . `` Grenade '' reached number one on the Hot 100 , Canada and in the UK . It was also successful on other international charts . The album , released on October 5 , 2010 , debuted at number three on the Billboard 200 , selling 55,000 copies . It charted number one in Canada , Switzerland , in the United Kingdom and other international album charts . Doo - Wops & Hooligans received generally positive reviews from music critics and has since sold six million copies worldwide . In February 2011 , `` The Lazy Song '' was released as the third single becoming the album 's third consecutive top five on the Hot 100 , peaking at number four and reaching the top spot in Denmark and UK . `` Talking to the Moon '' became the fourth official single , only in Brazil , following its appearance on the soundtrack of the Brazilian telenovela Insensato Coração ( Irrational Heart ) from 2011 . It reached the top position on Billboard Brasil Hot Pop Songs and the Hot 100 Airplay , spending several weeks on the top of both charts . `` Marry You '' was first released as a single on August 22 , 2011 . Although it was not released as a single in the US , it peaked at number 85 on the Hot 100 on January 15 , 2011 , due to strong digital sales , 2.2 million as of 2015 , and entered in several charts worldwide . In November , `` Count On Me '' was released as the album 's overall sixth single in Australia , but charted in various regions . Additionally , Mars recorded and composed with the Smeezingtons a song titled `` It Will Rain '' , the first single for The Twilight Saga : Breaking Dawn -- Part 1 Original Motion Picture Soundtrack . The song was released on iTunes on September 27 , 2011 . It peaked at number three on the Billboard Hot 100 and at number two in New Zealand . During this period , he appeared on a number of collaborative singles , including `` Lighters '' , with Bad Meets Evil issued on July 5 , 2011 , `` Mirror '' , released on September 13 , 2011 , with Lil Wayne , and `` Young , Wild & Free '' with Wiz Khalifa and Snoop Dogg , available for purchase on October 11 , 2011 . The songs peaked at number four , sixteen and seven on the Billboard Hot 100 , respectively and reached the top twenty of various music charts worldwide . On September 19 , 2010 , Mars was arrested in Las Vegas at the Hard Rock Casino for possession of cocaine . While talking to a police officer , Mars reportedly declared that what he did was `` foolish '' and that `` he has never used drugs before . '' Mars pleaded guilty to felony drug possession and in return was told that the charges would be erased from his criminal record as long as he stayed out of trouble for a year . He paid a $2,000 fine , did 200 hours of community service , and completed a drug counseling course . Nevertheless , in a cover story for GQ magazine in 2013 , Mars said `` I was young , man ! I was in f -- - ing Vegas ... I was n't thinking '' , he added : `` I was given a number one record and I 'm out doing dumb sh -- . '' Mars confessed that he lied to the authorities about having done cocaine before , saying `` I do n't know where that came from '' , adding : `` I was really intoxicated . I was really drunk . So a lot of that is a big blur , and I try every day to forget and keep pushing . '' Mars started to promote his debut album , as the opening act for Maroon 5 and One Republic , on the fall leg of Hands All Over Tour . Later , on October 18 , 2010 , the singer begun a co-headline European tour with Travis McCoy that lasted until early November . Doo - Wops & Hooligans received further promotion , when the singer embarked on his first concert tour , The Doo - Wops & Hooligans Tour , that ran from November 2010 to January 2012 . Most shows took place on smaller venues , such as theaters and ballrooms , which narrowed down his income in the short term , since he rejected various offers to open for notable artists on arena tours , but led to create a substantial fan base . At the 2011 Grammy Awards , Mars won his first Grammy Award for Best Male Pop Vocal Performance for `` Just the Way You Are '' and received other six nominations for his work . Best Rap Song , Best Rap / Sung Collaboration and Record of the Year for `` Nothin ' on You '' , the latter category along with Song of the Year for `` Fuck You '' , and Producer of the Year , Non-Classical as The Smeezingtons . At the 2012 Grammy Awards , Mars lost all the six categories in which he was nominated including , Album of the Year and Best Pop Vocal Album for Doo - Wops & Hooligans , Record of the Year , Song of the Year and Best Pop Solo Performance for `` Grenade '' , and Producer of the Year , Non-Classical as The Smeezingtons . During this time , he also won the American Music Award for Favorite Pop / Rock Male Artist , International Male Solo Artist at the Brit Awards and the Echo Award for Best International Male . 2012 -- 2014 : Unorthodox Jukebox and Super Bowl XLVIII halftime show On March 22 , 2012 , it was announced that Mars had signed a worldwide publishing deal with BMG Chrysalis US . In September 2012 , when interviewed by Billboard , Mars stated that his album would be more musically varied and refused to `` pick a lane '' , adding : `` I want to have the freedom and luxury to walk into a studio and say , ' Today I want to do a hip - hop , R&B , soul or rock record ' `` . He announced the album title Unorthodox Jukebox along with the ten songs which would make the final cut , and the title of the first single , `` Locked out of Heaven '' , released on October 1 , 2012 . The lead single from Unorthodox Jukebox reached number one on the Billboard Hot 100 , Canada and number two on the UK single charts . It charted within the top ten in fifteen countries worldwide . Unorthodox Jukebox , produced mainly by The Smeezingtons , was released on December 11 , 2012 , and debuted at number two on the Billboard 200 with sales of 192,000 units . The album eventually peaked at number one on the Billboard 200 , almost three months after its release . It also charted number one in Canada , Switzerland and in the United Kingdom , becoming the fastest selling album by a solo artist in 2012 in the UK and has since sold six million copies worldwide . `` When I Was Your Man '' , was released as the second single from Unorthodox Jukebox on January 15 , 2013 , and peaked at number one on the Billboard Hot 100 , making Elvis Presley the only male who has achieved five number one singles on the Hot 100 more quickly than Mars . It reached number two on the UK single charts and was top ten in several countries . The third single `` Treasure '' peaked at number five in the United States but had less commercial success worldwide than the previous two . On May 24 , 2013 , Major Lazer released a remix of `` Bubble Butt '' , as the fourth single from their album Free the Universe , which featured Tyga , 2 Chainz , Mystic , and Mars on vocals . In late 2013 , `` Gorilla '' and `` Young Girls '' followed as the album 's fourth and fifth singles , and reached the top 35 on the Hot 100 . Mars ran his second headlining tour , The Moonshine Jungle Tour , from June 2013 to October 2014 . The tour grossed $156 , 4 million globally . On September 8 , 2013 , Mars was announced as the headline performer at the Super Bowl XLVIII halftime show on February 2 , 2014 . The Red Hot Chili Peppers served as special guests for the show . It was the first Super Bowl halftime headlined by a performer under 30 , and of Puerto Rican descent . The show was the most watched halftime show in the history of the Super Bowl , drawing a rating of 115.3 million viewers . The viewership was higher than the game itself . However , it was surpassed the following year by Katy Perry 's halftime show . He also performed at the 2015 Rock in Rio festival on May 16 , 2015 . At the 2014 Grammy Awards , Mars won the award for Best Pop Vocal Album for Unorthodox Jukebox , nominated with `` Locked Out of Heaven '' for Record of the Year and Song of the Year , while `` When I Was Your Man '' earned a nomination for Best Pop Solo Performance .

It 's got ta be just as good if not better '' . On March 2015 , the artist provided some details of the new album , on that 's Shanghai magazine , confirming Mark Ronson and Jeff Bhasker as producers . He wanted to improve his songwriting , shows , music videos and make a better album than the previous two . In the same year , Mars ( as The Smeezingtons ) composed `` All I Ask '' , a track from Adele 's album 25 .

On December 2 , 2015 , it was announced that Coldplay would be headlining the Super Bowl 50 halftime show on February 7 , 2016 .

Moniz confirmed the album was close to being finished and Artis claimed it was set to be released in 2016 . The album was to be issued in March , but Mars ' appearance at the Super Bowl halftime show led the release to be postponed several months . At that time seven songs were already recorded . On May , the singer not only split with his manager , Brandon Creed , but also starred in the second season of Jane the Virgin as a musical guest .

Artistry Influences Musicians including Michael Jackson ( left ) and Prince ( right ) have influenced Mars . As a child , Mars spent time impersonating Elvis Presley . This playact had a major impact on his musical evolution ; he later reflected : I 'm a big fan of 1950s Elvis when he would go on stage and scare people because he was a force and girls would go nuts ! You can say the same thing for Prince or The Police . It 's just guys who know that people are here to see a show , so I watch those guys and I love studying them because I 'm a fan . '' He also impersonated Michael Jackson and Little Richard , both of whom are major inspirations of his . Mars was raised on his father 's doo - wop collection -- `` simple four - chord songs that got straight to the point '' and on Little Richard , Jerry Lee Lewis , and Frankie Lymon . The hip - hop productions by The Neptunes and Timbaland , that were played on the radio constantly , also influenced him . Mars ' musical style gravitated initially towards R&B since he was influenced by artists such as Keith Sweat , Jodeci , and R. Kelly . As a child he also took notice of Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis , New Edition , Bobby Brown , Boyz II Men , Teddy Riley and Babyface . At the same time , he also listened to 1950s rock ' n ' roll , doo - wop music , and Motown . In high school , he listened to classic rock groups such as Led Zeppelin , and The Beatles , whose influences can be heard in Mars ' work , as well as singers with high voices , like Stevie Wonder and Freddie Mercury . Bob Marley , and local bands in Hawaii , were a major influence and account for his reggae roots . Hip - hop acts like Jay - Z , The Roots , and Cody Chesnutt were among some of Mars ' favourites , and have influenced his composition skills . Each of these musical genres has influenced Mars ' musical style ; he observed that : `` It 's not easy to ( create ) songs with that mixture of rock and soul and hip - hop , and there 's only a handful of them . '' Mars also admires classical music . Other artists Mars has said inspired his work include : Jimi Hendrix , Amy Winehouse , Sly Stone , Carlos Santana , George Clinton , Coldplay , and Usher . Mars has also stated that he is a fan of : Alicia Keys , Jessie J , Jack White , The Saturdays , and Kings of Leon . Musical style and themes Mars ' music has been noted for displaying a wide variety of styles , musical genres , and influences , including pop , rock , reggae , R&B , soul , and hip hop . His debut album Doo - Wops & Hooligans , a pop record , is influence by these genres . His subsequent release , Unorthodox Jukebox , as with his debut album , is infused with different influences including dance , rock reggae and soul , as well as balladry . Lyrically , the album is different than the former , addressing traditional notions of romance , male chauvinism , and sexuality . The explicit content in the song `` Gorilla '' caused a controversy in Australia . Many of his songs , particularly on Doo - Wops & Hooligans , reflect `` feel - good '' , carefree , and optimistic sentiments . However , darker subjects are addressed in his songs , detailing failed relationships and self - destructive behaviour . Mars ' third album , 24K Magic , is significantly influence by R&B , soul music and funk . Lyrically , the album involve themes of money and sex . Mars has explained his writing process : `` I do n't sit down and think , ' I 'm going to write a song ' , since `` You ca n't force creativeness '' as inspiration comes out of the blue in different places . Ideas occur suddenly to him ; and occasionally , he is able to materialize them into lyrics . It can take him one year to come up with something . Mars claims that his work with other artists has influenced his musical style : `` Nothin ' on You had a Motown vibe , Billionaire was a reggae acoustic guitar - driven song , though one of my favourites is the CeeLo Green song . I do n't think anyone else could 've sung that song . And there 's Just the Way You Are . If you know my story , you know I love all different genres of music . '' Mars states that growing up in Hawaii influenced his style , giving the songs a reggae sound . He explains : `` In Hawaii some of the biggest radio stations are reggae . That music brings people together . It 's not urban music or pop music . It 's just songs . That 's what makes it cross over so well . The song comes first . '' Philip Lawrence , one of his music partners from The Smeezingtons , stated : `` What people do n't know is there 's a darker underbelly to Bruno Mars . '' Nevertheless , most of his music is romantic and Mars himself says : `` I blame that on me singing to girls back in high school '' . Mars possesses a three octave tenor vocal range . Jon Caramanica of The New York Times commented that he is one of the most `` versatile and accessible singers in pop , with a light , soul - influenced voice that 's an easy fit in a range of styles , a universal donor '' , while Tim Sendra from AllMusic described Mars ' vocals on Doo - Wops & Hooligans as `` the kind of smooth instrument that slips into your ear like honey . '' Jody Rosen from Rolling Stone called Mars a `` nimble , soulful vocalist '' on Unorthodox Jukebox . Jim Farber of the New York Daily News praised Mars ' voice due to `` the purity , cream and range of mid-period Michael Jackson '' in a review of a concert promoting Unorthodox Jukebox . Mars is also able to play drums , guitar , keyboard , bass , and piano . Mars usually plays the instrumentation or part of it , on his albums and on the songs he composes for other artists . Showmanship Bruno Mars and The Hooligans performing with strobe lights Mars is known for his retro showmanship which is widely acclaimed by tour critics and reviewers . A journalist from Mirrors Magazine says that `` the showmanship on Bruno 's stage was like none other that I 've ever seen '' comparing him to Michael Jackson . Kevin C. Johnson of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch called Mars a `` consummate performer . '' The Boston Globe music critique , Sarah Rodman , said that Mars shows an `` indefatigable ecstatic approach to performing '' and `` classic showmanship . '' In the same vein , Jim Farber of the Daily News stated of the halftime show at Super Bowl XLVIII that Mars `` brings old - school showmanship to dynamic performance . '' Rolling Stone magazine placed Mars at number 35 on its list of 50 Best Live Acts Right Now in 2013 ; he is the youngest act besides Janelle Monàe and Lady Gaga on the list . They wrote : `` Anyone from the age of 5 to 95 can walk out of a Bruno Mars concert feeling like the show was designed just for them . Mars walks the old - school walk and talks the sexy talk , but he also nails the hits , leads a super-energetic nine - piece soul band , and rips a mean drum solo '' , praising the `` spectacular version '' of `` Gorilla '' . Jason Lipshutz of Billboard described Mars ' performance as `` entertaining ... keeping smiles plastered on the faces of his onlookers , and he does a better job at it than almost anyone working in music right now '' . NFL executives Sarah Moll and Tracy Perlman stated that : `` If you go to his concerts , it 's 11 - year - old girls to 65 - year - old women -- it 's everyone '' , after seeing The Moonshine Jungle tour several times during the summer of 2013 . At most of his concerts Mars is accompanied by The Hooligans , a band that includes : a guitarist , bassist , drummer , keyboardist , and a horn section . They also serve as dancers and background singers . Mars ' shows feature all - band choreographed dancing arrangements , which include `` fancy , slick and fantastic '' footwork that is inspired by James Brown and the splits . His shows are heavily influenced by the disco era with a soul revue - inspired set . In addition , long , mellow , and soft interludes that echo the smooth Contemporary R&B style which was popular during the 1990s are also part of the show . His set list blends several genres of music such as : pop , doo - wop , funk , R&B , soul and reggae . Mars ' shows usually feature pyrotechnics , strobe and laser lighting , and he typically plays the drums and guitar .

In 2014 , Mars became the artist with the most top five entries on the Billboard Hot 100 since his first week on the chart . Along with Adele and John Legend , Mars is one of the only artists who has a song that features only piano and vocals to top the Hot 100 . He is the first male artist to place two titles as a lead act in the Hot 100 's top 10 simultaneously . Mars was the most played artist on pop radio in 2013 according to Mediabase and became the first solo male artist whose first 13 Top 40 hits all reached the Top 10 on the American Top 40 .

According to the International Federation of Phonographic Industry ( IFPI ) , `` Just the Way You Are '' and `` Grenade '' are two of the most successful digital singles of all time , with sales of 12.5 million and 10.2 million , respectively . This contributed to Mars becoming the biggest selling artist of 2012 .

As of 2017 , the singer has sold over 180 million singles worldwide . Because of the ticket reselling that occurred during the week after the Super Bowl , and in order to limit that kind of profiteering , Hawaii Senate President Donna Mercado Kim introduced Senate Resolution 12 , also known as the Bruno Mars Act . It limits all ticket purchases within 48 hours of the on - sale date to the physical box office . This ensures that anyone who comes to the box office to buy tickets for a show should almost certainly be guaranteed a ticket and discourages ticket scalping . The State Senate in Hawaii passed the law . Personal life Family and relationships Mars 's brother , Eric has continuously served as the drummer for his backup band , The Hooligans . Their sisters , Tiara , Tahiti , and Presley , as well as their cousin Jaime , make up the all - girl music group The Lylas .

His mother died the next day . On June 2 , 2013 , a publicist for Atlantic Records confirmed to the Associated Press that Mars ' mother had suffered a brain aneurysm . She had died on Saturday , June 1 , 2013 , at age 55 , at Queens Medical Center in Honolulu , Hawaii . Later , on June 7 , 2013 , the singer broke his silence concerning the loss of his mother on Twitter writing : `` So thankful for all the love during the most difficult time in my life .

As evidence , Proctor has submitted a United States Copyright Office registration certificate for `` Frisky Vol. 1 to 30 ( Tapes ) '' , issued in 2000 . Proctor accused the defendants of `` willful and intentional '' copyright infringement , seeking destruction of all copies of the recording . Proctor claims he has exclusive rights to reproduce and distribute the song .

'' In April 2015 , it was revealed that a settlement had been reached with The Gap Band 's publishing company , Minder Music , to add The Gap Band and producer Lonnie Simmons as co-writers , who will receive 17 % of the royalties from Mark and Mars ' hit `` Uptown Funk '' . The claim on behalf of The Gap Band and Lonnie Simmons was entered into YouTube 's content management system preventing payments to the publisher . In August , Serbian pop artist Viktorija has also argued that `` Uptown Funk '' infringed on her track `` Ulice mračne nisu za devojke '' . She stated that she had no hurry to sue as the `` processes take a long time '' and her life , as well as career , does n't rely on lawsuits . She also had no idea what to do with the money , if she won , earned from the percentage of the lawsuit . In October 2016 , electro - funk band Collage sued Mark Ronson and Mars for copying `` strikingly and / or substantially '' the groups single , `` Young Girls '' , while The Sequence claimed it copied their single `` Funk You Up '' . `` Treasure '' was re-registered in ASCAP with new writing credits , which included Thibaut Jean - Marrie Michel Berland and Irfane Khan Christopher , due to the similarities with Breakbot 's `` Baby I 'm Yours '' . Controversies Stereotypes In a cover story for Entertainment Weekly , Mars stated that the song `` Nothin ' on You '' was rejected by a `` music industry decision - maker '' ( a person he wo n't name ) because of his race . That experience made him feel like a `` mutant '' , and he says that was his lowest point . `` Even with that song in my back pocket to seal the deal , things like that are coming out of people 's mouths . It made me feel like I was n't even in the room . '' In April 2013 , in a cover story for GQ magazine , Mars confessed that he changed his surname because people in the music industry took him as another Latino artist , and even tried to convince him to sing in Spanish saying : `` Your last name 's Hernandez , maybe you should do the Latin music , this Spanish music ... Enrique ( Iglesias ) is so hot right now '' . Nevertheless , Mars used his childhood nickname Bruno and changed his surname to Mars , in an effort to `` avoid being stereotyped '' . Tyler , the Creator In the song `` Yonkers '' , Tyler , The Creator disparages numerous artists , including Bruno Mars . Tyler also disparages Mars in The Game 's song `` Martians vs. Goblins '' , in which he and Lil Wayne are featured artists . Mars , in response to the verse `` stab Bruno Mars in his goddamn esophagus , '' said `` ( Tyler ) has to wait in line if he wants to stab me ... ( Tyler 's ) definitely not the first guy that 's said something like that to me and he 's not going to be the last '' . On April 24 , 2015 , Tyler admitted to being wrong regarding Mars ' talent and pointed to Mars performance of `` Gorilla '' at the 2013 MTV Video Music Awards as evidence . Kanye West During a performance on November 21 , 2013 , Kanye West gave his opinion regarding the MTV Video Music Awards , that were held on August 25 , 2013 . West said , `` Bruno Mars won all the motherfucking awards and shit '' . He continued , `` What I care about is if you 're an artist and you work hard as fuck and the streets say that you deserve that shit . Then ca n't no motherfucking networks try to gas everybody up so they can sell some product with the prettiest motherfucker out '' . Nevertheless , on February 26 , 2015 , he publicly apologized to Bruno Mars on Twitter while asking him to sing a hook on a song that he co-produced . West asked Tyler , the Creator to direct the music video . Mars confirmed that West called him and apologized .

He composed the scores for 11 of the James Bond films between 1963 and 1987 , and also arranged and performed the `` James Bond Theme '' to the first film in the series , 1962 's Dr. No . He wrote the Grammy - and Academy Award - winning scores to the films Dances with Wolves and Out of Africa , as well as the theme for the British television cult series The Persuaders ! , in a career spanning over 50 years . In 1999 , he was appointed OBE at Buckingham Palace for services to music . Born in York , Barry spent his early years working in cinemas owned by his father . During his national service with the British Army in Cyprus , Barry began performing as a musician after learning to play the trumpet . Upon completing his national service , he formed his own band in 1957 , The John Barry Seven . He later developed an interest in composing and arranging music , making his début for television in 1958 . He came to the notice of the makers of the first James Bond film Dr. No , who were dissatisfied with a theme for James Bond given to them by Monty Norman . This started a successful association between Barry and Eon Productions that lasted for 25 years . He received many awards for his work , including five Academy Awards ; two for Born Free , and one each for The Lion in Winter ( for which he also won the first BAFTA Award for Best Film Music ) , Dances with Wolves and Out of Africa ( both of which also won him Grammy Awards ) . He also received ten Golden Globe Award nominations , winning once for Best Original Score for Out of Africa in 1986 . Barry completed his last film score , Enigma , in 2001 and recorded the successful album Eternal Echoes the same year . He then concentrated chiefly on live performances and co-wrote the music to the musical Brighton Rock in 2004 alongside Don Black . In 2001 , Barry became a Fellow of the British Academy of Songwriters , Composers and Authors , and , in 2005 , he was made a Fellow of the British Academy of Film and Television Arts . Barry was married four times and had four children . He moved to the United States in 1975 and lived there for the remainder of his life until his death in 2011 .

His mother was a classical pianist . His father , John Xavier `` Jack '' Prendergast , from Cork , was a projectionist during the silent film era , who later owned a chain of cinemas across northern England . As a result of his father 's work , Barry was raised in and around cinemas in northern England and he later stated that this childhood background influenced his musical tastes and interests . Barry was educated at St Peter 's School , York , and also received composition lessons from Francis Jackson , Organist of York Minster . Career ( edit ) Serving in the British Army , Barry spent his national service playing the trumpet . During his army service , he took a correspondence course ( with jazz composer Bill Russo ) ; he also worked as an arranger for the Jack Parnell and Ted Heath 's Orchestra , and formed his own band in 1957 , the John Barry Seven , with whom he had some hit records on EMI 's Columbia label . These included `` Hit and Miss '' , the theme tune he composed for the BBC 's Juke Box Jury programme , a cover of the Johnny Smith song `` Walk Do n't Run '' , and a cover of the theme for the United Artists western The Magnificent Seven . By 1959 Barry was gaining commissions to arrange music for other acts , starting with a young trio on Decca , coincidentally called the Three Barry Sisters , though unrelated both to Barry and the more famous Barry Sisters duo in America . The career breakthrough for Barry was the BBC television series Drumbeat , when he appeared with the John Barry Seven . He was employed by EMI from 1959 until 1962 arranging orchestral accompaniment for the company 's singers , including Adam Faith ; he also composed songs ( along with Les Vandyke ) and scores for films in which Faith was featured . When Faith made his first film , Beat Girl ( 1960 ) , Barry composed , arranged and conducted the score , his first . His music was later released as the UK 's first soundtrack album . Barry also composed the music for another Faith film , Never Let Go ( also 1960 ) , orchestrated the score for Mix Me a Person ( 1962 ) , and composed , arranged and conducted the score for The Amorous Prawn ( also 1962 ) . In 1962 , Barry transferred to Ember Records , where he produced albums as well as arranging them . These achievements caught the attention of the producers of a new film called Dr. No ( 1962 ) who were dissatisfied with a theme for James Bond given to them by Monty Norman . Barry was hired and the result was one of the most famous signature tunes in film history , the `` James Bond Theme '' . ( Credit goes to Monty Norman , see here . ) When the producers of the Bond series engaged Lionel Bart to score the next James Bond film From Russia with Love ( 1963 ) , they discovered that Bart could neither read nor write music . Though Bart wrote a title song for the film , the producers remembered Barry 's arrangement of the James Bond Theme and his composing and arranging for several films with Adam Faith . Lionel Bart also recommended Barry to producer Stanley Baker for his film Zulu ( 1964 ) . Bart and Barry worked together in the film Man in the Middle . This was the turning point for Barry , and he subsequently won five Academy Awards and four Grammy Awards , with scores for , among others , Born Free ( 1966 ) , The Lion in Winter ( 1968 ) , Midnight Cowboy ( 1969 ) for which he did not receive an on - screen credit . and Somewhere in Time ( 1980 ) . Barry was often cited as having had a distinct style which concentrated on lush strings and extensive use of brass . However he was also an innovator , being one of the first to employ synthesizers in a film score ( On Her Majesty 's Secret Service , also 1969 ) , and to make wide use of pop artists and songs in Midnight Cowboy . Because Barry provided not just the main title theme but the complete soundtrack score , his music often enhanced the critical reception of a film , notably in Midnight Cowboy , the first remake of King Kong ( 1976 ) , Out of Africa ( 1985 ) , and Dances with Wolves ( 1990 ) . Barry would often watch films and would note down with pen and paper what worked or what did not . Barry composed the theme for the TV series The Persuaders ! ( 1971 ) , also known as The Unlucky Heroes , in which Tony Curtis and Roger Moore were paired as rich playboys solving crimes . The instrumental recording features the Cimbalom ( which Barry also used for The Ipcress File ( 1965 ) and other themes ) and Moog synthesizers . The theme was a hit single in many European countries ( including France , Germany , and the Benelux states ) , contributing to the cult status of the series in Europe , and the record featured Barry 's The Girl with the Sun in Her Hair on the B side , an instrumental piece featured in a long running TV advert for Sunsilk shampoo . Barry also wrote the scores to a number of musicals , including the 1965 Passion Flower Hotel ( lyrics by Trevor Peacock ) , the successful 1974 West End show Billy ( lyrics by Don Black ) , and two major Broadway flops , Lolita , My Love ( 1971 ) , with Alan Jay Lerner as lyricist , and The Little Prince and the Aviator ( 1981 ) , again with lyricist Don Black . In 2001 , the University of York conferred an honorary degree on Barry , and in 2002 he was named an Honorary Freeman of the City of York . During 2006 , Barry was the executive producer on an album entitled Here 's to the Heroes by the Australian ensemble The Ten Tenors . The album features a number of songs Barry wrote in collaboration with his lyricist friend , Don Black . Barry and Black also composed one of the songs on Shirley Bassey 's 2009 album , The Performance . The song , entitled `` Our Time Is Now '' , is the first written by the duo for Bassey since `` Diamonds Are Forever '' . James Bond series ( edit ) After the success of Dr. No , Barry was hired to compose and perform eleven of the next fourteen James Bond films ( Monty Norman is legally recognised as the composer of the `` James Bond Theme '' ) . In his tenure with the film series , Barry 's music , variously brassy and moody , achieved very wide appeal . For From Russia with Love he composed `` 007 '' , an alternative James Bond signature theme , which is featured in four other Bond films ( Thunderball , You Only Live Twice , Diamonds Are Forever and Moonraker ) . The theme `` Stalking '' , for the teaser sequence of From Russia with Love , was covered by colleague Marvin Hamlisch for The Spy Who Loved Me ( 1977 ) . ( The music and lyrics for From Russia with Love 's title song were written by Lionel Bart , whose musical theatre credits included Oliver ! ) Barry also contributed indirectly to the soundtrack of the spoof version of Casino Royale ( 1967 ) : his Born Free theme appears briefly in the opening sequence . In Goldfinger ( 1964 ) , he perfected the `` Bond sound '' , a heady mixture of brass , jazz elements and sensuous melodies . There is even an element of Barry 's jazz roots in the big - band track `` Into Miami '' , which follows the title credits and accompanies the film 's iconic image of the camera lens zooming toward the Fontainebleau Hotel in Miami Beach . A side note is that Jimmy Page , worked as a session guitarist at the time , and was a part of the recording sessions for the `` Goldfinger '' soundtrack . For Bond films , session musicians such as Page were relegated to the instrumental / score version of songs , while the main musicians ( on Goldfinger : Vic Flick ) were given the main film theme song to record ( featured at the beginning of the movie ) . Leaving Page as a background acoustic contributor to Flick on the instrumental version of the song . Barry 's love for the Russian romantic composers is often reflected in his music ; in his Bond scores he unites this with brass - heavy jazz writing . His use of strings , lyricism , half - diminished chords , and complex key shifting provides melancholy contrast - often heard in variations of the title songs as integrally infused with the plot development . As Barry matured , the Bond scores became more lushly melodic ( along with other scores of his such as Out of Africa ) , as in Moonraker ( 1979 ) and Octopussy ( 1983 ) . Barry 's score for A View to a Kill was traditional , but his collaboration with Duran Duran for the title song was contemporary and reached number one in the United States and number two in the UK Singles Chart . Both A View to a Kill and The Living Daylights theme by a-ha blended the pop music style of the bands with Barry 's orchestration . In 2006 , a-ha's Pal Waaktaar complimented Barry 's contributions : `` I loved the stuff he added to the track , I mean it gave it this really cool string arrangement . That 's when for me it started to sound like a Bond thing . '' Barry 's last score for the Bond series was The Living Daylights ( 1987 ) , Timothy Dalton 's first film in the series with Barry making a cameo appearance as a conductor in the film . Barry was intended to score Licence to Kill ( 1989 ) but was recovering from throat surgery at the time and it was considered unsafe to fly him to London to complete the score . The score was completed by Michael Kamen . David Arnold , a British composer , saw the result of two years ' work in 1997 with the release of Shaken and Stirred : The David Arnold James Bond Project , an album of new versions of the themes from various James Bond films . Arnold thanks Barry in the sleeve notes , referring to him as `` the Guvnor '' . Almost all of the tracks were John Barry compositions , and the revision of his work met with his approval -- he contacted Barbara Broccoli , producer of the then upcoming Tomorrow Never Dies , to recommend Arnold as the film 's composer . Arnold also went on to score four subsequent Bond films : The World Is Not Enough , Die Another Day , Casino Royale and Quantum of Solace . Sole compositional credit for the `` James Bond Theme '' is attributed to Monty Norman , who was contracted as composer for Dr. No . Some 30 years later , in 2001 , the disputed authorship of the theme was examined legally in the High Court in London after Norman sued The Sunday Times for publishing an article in 1997 in which Barry was named as the true composer ; Barry testified for the defence . In court , Barry testified that he had been handed a musical manuscript of a work by Norman ( meant to become the theme ) and that he was to arrange it musically , and that he composed additional music and arranged the `` James Bond Theme '' . The court was also told that Norman received sole credit because of his prior contract with the producers . Barry said that a deal was struck whereby he would receive a flat fee of £ 250 and Norman would receive the songwriting credit . Barry said that he had accepted the deal with United Artists Head of Music Noel Rogers because it would help his career . Despite these claims the jury ruled unanimously in favour of Norman . On 7 September 2006 , John Barry publicly defended his authorship of the theme on the Steve Wright show on BBC Radio 2 . Personal life and death ( edit ) Barry was married four times . His first three marriages , to Barbara Pickard ( 1959 -- 63 ) , Jane Birkin ( 1965 -- 68 ) , and Jane Sidey ( 1969 -- 78 ) all ended in divorce . He was married to his fourth wife , Laurie , from January 1978 until his death . The couple had a son , Jonpatrick . Barry had three daughters , Suzanne ( Susie ) with his first wife , Barbara , Kate with his second wife , Jane , and Sian from a relationship with Ulla Larson between the first two marriages . Suzy Barry , who is married to BBC business journalist Simon Jack , is the mother of his two granddaughters , Phoebe and Florence Ingleby . In 1975 Barry moved to California . A British judge later accused him of emigrating to avoid paying £ 134,000 due the Inland Revenue . The matter was resolved in the late 1980s and Barry was able to return to the UK . He subsequently lived for many years in the United States , mainly in Oyster Bay , New York , in Centre Island on Long Island , from 1980 . Barry suffered a rupture of the oesophagus in 1988 , following a toxic reaction to a health tonic he had consumed . The incident rendered him unable to work for two years and left him vulnerable to pneumonia . Barry died of a heart attack on 30 January 2011 at his Oyster Bay home , aged 77 . A memorial concert took place on 20 June 2011 at the Royal Albert Hall in London where the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra , Shirley Bassey , Rumer , David Arnold , Wynne Evans and others performed Barry 's music . Sir George Martin , Sir Michael Parkinson , Don Black , Timothy Dalton and others also contributed to the celebration of his life and work . The event was sponsored by the Royal College of Music through a grant by the Broccoli Foundation . Awards and Nominations ( edit ) In 1999 Barry was made an Officer of the Order of the British Empire ( OBE ) at Buckingham Palace for services to music , and received the BAFTA Academy Fellowship Award in 2005 . In 2005 , the American Film Institute ranked Barry 's score for Out of Africa No. 15 on their list of the greatest film scores .

This article needs additional citations for verification . Please help improve this article by adding citations to reliable sources . Unsourced material may be challenged and removed . ( January 2010 ) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message ) Balaam and the angel , painting from Gustav Jaeger , 1836 . Balaam / ˈbeɪlæm / ( Hebrew : בִּלְעָם , Standard Bilʻam Tiberian Bileʻām ) is a diviner in the Torah , his story begins in Chapter 22 in the Book of Numbers ( Hebrew : במדבר ) . Every ancient reference to Balaam considers him a non-Israelite , a prophet , and the son of Beor , though Beor is not clearly identified . Though some sources may only describe the positive blessings he delivers upon the Israelites , he is reviled as a `` wicked man '' in both Torah and its commentaries , as well as in the New Testament . Balaam refused to speak what God did not speak and would not curse the Israelites , even though King Balak of Moab offered him money to do so ( Numbers 22 -- 24 ) . But Balaam 's error and the source of his wickedness came from sabotaging the Israelites as they entered the Promised Land . According to Revelation 2 : 14 , Balaam told King Balak how to get the Israelites to commit sin by enticing them with sexual immorality and food sacrificed to idols . The Israelites fell into transgression due to these traps and God sent a deadly plague to them as a result ( Numbers 31 : 16 ) . Contents ( hide ) 1 Balaam and Balak 2 Prophecies 3 Balaam in rabbinic literature 4 Balaam in the New Testament , Josephus , and Philo 5 Balaam in the Quran 6 Balaam and the Deir Alla inscription 7 See also 8 Notes 9 References 10 External links Balaam and Balak ( edit ) The main story of Balaam occurs during the sojourn of the Israelites in the plains of Moab , east of the Jordan River , at the close of 40 years of wandering , shortly before the death of Moses and the crossing of the Jordan . The Israelites have already defeated two kings in Transjordan : Sihon , king of the Amorites , and Og , king of Bashan . Balak , king of Moab , consequently becomes alarmed , and sends elders of Midian and his Moabite messengers , to Balaam , son of Beor , to induce him to come and curse Israel . Balaam 's location , Pethor , is simply given as `` which is by the river of the land of the children of his people '' in the Masoretic Text and the Septuagint , though the Samaritan Pentateuch , Vulgate , and Peshitta all identify his land as Ammon . Balaam and the angel . Nuremberg Chronicle ( 1493 ) The Prophet Balaam and the Angel Balaam sends back word that he can only do what YHWH commands , and God has , via a nocturnal dream , told him not to go . Balak consequently sends higher - ranking priests and offers Balaam honours ; Balaam continues to press God , and God finally permits him to go but with instructions to say only what he commands . Balaam then sets out in the morning with the princes of Moab . God becomes angry that he went , and sends the Angel of the Lord ( Numbers 22 : 22 ) to prevent him . At first , the angel is seen only by the donkey Balaam is riding , which tries to avoid the angel . After Balaam starts punishing the donkey for refusing to move , it is miraculously given the power to speak to Balaam ( Numbers 22 : 28 ) , and it complains about Balaam 's treatment . At this point , Balaam is allowed to see the angel , who informs him that the donkey is the only reason the angel did not kill Balaam . Balaam immediately repents , but is told to go on . Balak meets with Balaam at Kirjat Huzoth , and they go to the `` high places of Baal '' , and offer sacrifices on seven altars , leading to Balaam being given a prophecy by Yahweh , which he speaks to Balak . However , the prophecy blesses Israel ; Balak remonstrates , but Balaam reminds him that he can only speak the words put in his mouth , so Balak takes him to another `` high place '' at Pisgah , to try again . Building another seven altars here , and making sacrifices on each , Balaam provides another prophecy blessing Israel . Balaam finally gets taken by a now very frustrated Balak to Peor , and , after the seven sacrifices there , decides not to `` seek enchantments '' but instead looks upon the Israelites from the peak . The Spirit of God comes upon Balaam and he delivers a third positive prophecy concerning Israel . Balak 's anger rises to the point where he threatens Balaam , but Balaam merely offers a prediction of fate . Balaam then looks upon the Kenites , and Amalekites and offers two more predictions of their fates . Balak and Balaam then go to their respective homes . Later , Numbers 25 : 1 - 9 describes how Israel engaged in sexual immorality and idolatry with the women of Moab , resulting in God 's anger and a deadly plague . Numbers 31 : 16 attributes this to the advice of Balaam : `` Behold , these caused the children of Israel , through the counsel of Balaam , to commit trespass against the LORD in the matter of Peor , and there was a plague among the congregation of the LORD . '' Book of Deuteronomy 23 : 3 -- 6 summarises these incidents , and further states that the Ammonites were associated with the Moabites . Joshua , in his farewell speech , also makes reference to it . With God 's protection taken from him , Balaam is later listed among the Midianites who were killed in revenge for the `` matter of Peor '' . Joshua 13 : 22 records that Balaam died `` by the sword '' during a battle for the Reubenite occupation of Moabite land . Revelation also states that Balaam `` taught Balak to cast a stumbling block before the children of Israel . '' Prophecies ( edit ) Balaam and the Ass , by Rembrandt van Rijn , 1626 . All the prophecies which Balaam makes take the form of ( Hebrew ) poems : The first , Numbers 23 : 7 -- 10 , prophesies the unique exaltation of the Kingdom of Israel , and its countless numbers . The second , Numbers 23 : 18 -- 24 , celebrates the moral virtue of Israel , its monarchy , and military conquests . The third , Numbers 24 : 3 -- 9 , celebrates the glory and conquests of Israel 's monarchy . The fourth , Numbers 24 : 14 -- 19 , prophesies the coming of a king who will conquer Edom and Moab . The fifth , Numbers 24 : 20 , concerns the ruins of Amalek . The sixth , Numbers 24 : 21 -- 22 , concerns the destruction of the Kenites by Assyria . The seventh , Numbers 24 : 23 -- 24 , concerns `` ships of Kittim '' coming from the west to attack Assyria and Eber . The poems fall into three groups . The first group consists of two poems which characteristically start immediately . The third group of three poems also start immediately , but are much shorter . The second group , however , consists of two poems which both start : Balaam the son of Beor hath said , and the man whose eyes are open hath said : He hath said , which heard the words of God , which saw the vision of the Almighty , falling into a trance , but having his eyes open ... Of these , the first and third groups are considered , according to the Documentary Hypothesis , to originate within the Elohist text , whereas the second group is considered to belong to the Jahwist . Thus the Elohist describes Balaam giving two blessings , making sacrifices on seven altars , at the high places of Baal , before each , then deciding not to `` seek enchantments '' after the third set of sacrifices , but to `` set his face upon the wilderness , '' which Balak views as a third blessing , and so Balaam then gives the three final predictions of fate . Conversely , in the Jahwist source , Balaam arrives , the spirit of God comes upon him , and he simply delivers a blessing and a prophecy , in succession . The poems themselves are considered to predate the Jahwist and Elohist , and simply to have been embedded by them in their works . While the Elohist took off whatever introduction was present in the poems they chose , the Jahwist left it on . An archaeological discovery in 1967 uncovered references to a Book of Balaam , from which these poems may have originally been taken . The first four poems are commonly regarded as ancient lyrics of the early monarchy of Israel and Judah , although several critics suspect that they have been edited either from less edifying oracles or from oracles which did not refer to Israel . Agag , mentioned in the third poem , is described as a great king , which does not correspond to the king of the Amalekites who was named Agag , and described in I Samuel 15 , since that description considers Amalek to be small and obscure . While it is the Masoretic text of the poem that uses the word Agag , the Septuagint , other Greek versions , and the Samaritan Pentateuch , all have Gog ( i.e. , king Gyges of Lydia , 716 BC to 678 BC ) , implying a very late date for the poem . These names are consequently thought to be textual corruptions , and Og has been suggested as the original . The final three poems do not refer either to Israel or to Moab , and are thus considered unusual , since they seem to have little relevance to the narrative . It is thought that they may have been added to bring the number of poems either up to five , if inserted into the Elohist source , or up to seven , if only inserted once JE was constructed . While the sixth poem refers to Assyria , it is uncertain whether it is an historical reference to ancient Ninevah , or a prophecy , which some religious commentators consider refers to the Seleucid kingdom of Syria , which also took the name Assyria . The seventh is also ambiguous , and may either be a reference to the Sea Peoples , or , again in the view of some religious commentators , to the conquest of Persia by Alexander the Great . In the view of textual criticism the narrative , excepting the episode involving the donkey , is simply a framework invented in order to be able to insert much older poems . Balaam in rabbinic literature ( edit ) In rabbinic literature Balaam is represented as one of seven gentile prophets ; the other six being Beor ( Balaam 's father ) , Job , and Job 's four friends ( Talmud , B.B. 15b ) . In this literature , Balaam gradually acquired a position among the non-Jews , which was exalted as much as that of Moses among the Jews ( Midrash Numbers Rabbah 20 ) ; at first being a mere interpreter of dreams , but later becoming a magician , until finally the spirit of prophecy descended upon him ( ib. 7 ) . According to a negative view of Balaam in the Talmud , Balaam possessed the gift of being able to ascertain the exact moment during which God is wroth -- a gift bestowed upon no other creature . Balaam 's intention was to curse the Israelites at this moment of wrath , and thus cause God himself to destroy them ; but God purposely restrained His anger in order to baffle the wicked prophet and to save the nation from extermination ( Talmud , Berachot 7a ) . The Talmud also recounts a more positive view of Balaam , stating that when the Law was given to Israel , a mighty voice shook the foundations of the earth , so much so that all kings trembled , and in their consternation turned to Balaam , inquiring whether this upheaval of nature portended a second deluge ; the prophet assured them that what they heard was the voice of God , giving the sacred law to the Israelites ( Talmud , Zeb . 116a ) . According to Jewish legend , Balaam was made this powerful in order to prevent the non-Jewish tribes from saying : `` If we had only had our own Moses , we would be as pious as the Jews . '' The wicked Balaam is included in the list of persons born circumcised along with Moses in the book Abbot De-Rabbi Natan . In rabbinical literature the epithet rasha , translating as the wicked one , is often attached to the name of Balaam ( Talmud Berachot l.c. ; Taanit 20a ; Midrash Numbers Rabbah 20 : 14 ) . Balaam is pictured as blind in one eye and lame in one foot ( Talmud Sanhedrin 105a ) ; and his disciples ( followers ) are distinguished by three morally corrupt qualities : an evil eye a haughty bearing an avaricious spirit Due to his behavior with the Midianites , the Rabbis interpret Balaam as responsible for the behavior during the Heresy of Peor , which they consider to have been unchastity , and consequently the death of 24,000 victims of the plague which God sent as punishment . When Balaam saw that he could not curse the children of Israel , the Rabbis assert that he advised Balak , as a last resort , to tempt the Hebrew nation to immoral acts and , through these , to the worship of Baal - peor . The God of the Hebrews , adds Balaam , according to the Rabbis , hates lewdness ; and severe chastisement must follow ( San . 106a ; Yer . ib . x . 28d ; Num . R. l.c. ) . The Rabbis , playing on the name Balaam , call him `` Belo ' Am '' ( without people ; that is , without a share with the people in the world to come ) , or `` Billa ' ' Am '' ( one that ruined a people ) ; and this hostility against his memory finds its climax in the dictum that whenever one discovers a feature of wickedness or disgrace in his life , one should preach about it ( Sanh . 106b ) . In the process of killing Balaam ( Num . xxxi. 8 ) , all four legal methods of execution -- stoning , burning , decapitating , and strangling -- were employed ( Sanh . l.c. ) . He met his death at the age of thirty - three ( ib . ) ; and it is stated that he had no portion in the world to come ( Sanh . x . 2 ; 90a ) . The book devotes a special section to the history of the prophet discussing why God has taken away the power of prophecy from the Gentiles ( Tan. , Balak , 1 ) . Moses is expressly mentioned as the author of this episode in the Pentateuch ( B.B. 14b ). J. Sr. H.M. `` Ahithophel of the house of Israel and Balaam of the heathen nations were the two great sages of the world who , failing to show gratitude to God for their wisdom , perished in dishonor . To them the prophetic word finds application : ' Let not the wise man glory in his wisdom , ' Jer . ix. 23 '' ( Num . R. xxii . ) . In ( Sanhedrin 106b ) and ( Giṭtin 57a ) Balaam may be likened to Jesus . Some have theorized that Balaam became used as a pseudonym for Jesus in Jewish literature . Balaam in the New Testament , josephus , and Philo ( edit ) In the New Testament , Balaam is cited as a type of avarice ; for example in Book of Revelation 2 : 14 we read of false teachers at Pergamum who held the `` teaching of Balaam , who taught Balak to cast a stumbling - block before the children of Israel , to eat things sacrificed to idols , and to commit fornication . '' Balaam has attracted much interest , alike from Jews , Christians , and Muslims . Josephus paraphrases the story more so , and speaks of Balaam as the best prophet of his time , but with a disposition ill - adapted to resist temptation . Philo describes him as a great magician in the Life of Moses ; elsewhere he speaks of `` the sophist Balaam , being , '' i.e. symbolizing `` a vain crowd of contrary and warring opinions '' and again as `` a vain people '' -- both phrases being based on a mistaken etymology of the name Balaam . A man also named Balaam also figures as an example of a false prophet motivated by greed or avarice in both 2 Peter 2 : 15 and in Jude 1 : 11 . This Balaam is listed as the son of Bezer , which is usually identified as Beor . Some authors claim that Bezer was the Aramaic pronunciation of Beor , while others hold that Peter was attempting to play off the Hebrew word basar or `` flesh '' to insult Balaam . Later Jewish tradition similarly played with Balaam 's name to call him corrupt and imply bestiality . Still other authors hold that Bezer and Beor are distinct , while still identifying the Balaams of the Old and New Testaments , claiming that Beor is Balaam 's father and Bezer is Balaam 's home town . Balaam in the quran ( edit ) Musa Mūsa ٰمُوسَى Moses Ten Commandments Tawrat Ṣuḥuf Mūsā Biblical and Quranic narratives Prophets and messengers in Islam Golden calf Asiya Balaam Samiri Ulu'l azm prophets Islam portal Regarding the Islamic view of Balaam , no clear reference is made to Balaam in the Qur'an . However , the commentators argue that he is the one to whom the following text is referring : Relate to them the story of the man to whom We sent Our signs , but he passed them by : so Satan followed him up , and he went astray . If it had been Our will , We should have elevated him with Our signs ; but he inclined to the earth , and followed his own vain desires . His similitude is that of a dog : if you attack him , he lolls out his tongue , or if you leave him alone , he ( still ) lolls out his tongue . That is the similitude of those who reject Our signs ; So relate the story ; perchance they may reflect . -- Qur'an , sura 7 ( Al - A'raf ) , ayat 175 -- 176 The Muslim commentators explain that Balaam was a Canaanite who had been given knowledge of some of the books of God . His people asked him to curse Moses ( Musa ) and those who were with him , but he said , `` How can I curse one who has angels with him ? '' They continued to press him , however , until he cursed the Israelites , and , as a consequence , they remained 40 years in the Wilderness of the Wanderings . Then , when he had cursed Moses , his tongue came out and fell upon his breast , and he began to pant like a dog . The story as told by Tabari is somewhat more Biblical . Balaam had the knowledge of the Most Sacred Name of God , and whatever he asked of God was granted to him . The story of Balaam and the ass , then follows at length . When it came to the actual cursing , God `` turned his tongue '' so that the cursing fell upon his own people and the blessing upon Israel . Then his tongue came out and hung down on his breast . Finally , he advised his people to adorn and beautify their women and to send them out to ensnare the Israelites . The story of the plague at Baal - peor and of Cozbi and Zimri follows . According to another story which al - Tabari gives , Balaam was a renegade Israelite who knew the Most Sacred Name , and to gain the things of this world , went over to the Canaanites . Al - Tha'labi adds that Balaam was descended from Lot . He gives , too , the story of Balaam 's dream , his being forbidden by God to curse Israel . Another version is that Balak , the king of Bal'a , compelled Balaam to use the Most Sacred Name against Israel . The curse fell automatically , and Moses , having learned from whence it came , entreated God to take from Balaam his knowledge of the Name and his faith . This being done , they went out from him in the form of a white dove . Balaam and the Deir Alla inscription ( edit ) Further information : Deir Alla Inscription In 1967 , at Deir Alla , Jordan , archaeologists found an inscription with a story relating visions of the seer of the gods Bala'am , son of Be'or , who may be the same Bala'am mentioned in Numbers 22 -- 24 and in other passages of the Bible . This Bala'am differs from the one in Numbers in that rather than being a prophet of Yahweh he is associated with Ashtar , a god named Shgr , and Shadday gods and goddesses . The Oxford Handbook of Biblical Studies describes it as `` the oldest example of a book in a West Semitic language written with the alphabet , and the oldest piece of Aramaic literature . '' The inscription is datable to ca . 840 -- 760 BCE ; it was painted in red and black inks , apparently to emphasize the text , on fragments of a plastered wall : 119 pieces of inked plaster were recovered . According to the story in the inscription , Balaam wakes up weeping and tells his people that the gods appeared to him in the night telling him about a goddess threatening to destroy the land . She is to cover the sky and reduce the world to complete darkness . Meindert Dijkstra suggests that `` the reticence of OT scholarship to take account of the text may be attributable to its damaged state , the difficulty of reconstructing and reading it , and the many questions it raises of script , language , literary form and religious content .

"Balaam sends back word that he can only do what YHWH commands, and God has, via a nocturnal dream, told him not to go. Balak consequently sends higher-ranking priests and offers Balaam honours; Balaam continues to press God, and God finally permits him to go but with instructions to say only what he commands. Balaam then sets out in the morning with the princes of Moab. God becomes angry that he went, and sends the Angel of the Lord (Numbers 22:22) to prevent him. At first, the angel is seen only by the donkey Balaam is riding, which tries to avoid the angel. After Balaam starts punishing the donkey for refusing to move, it is miraculously given the power to speak to Balaam (Numbers 22:28), and it complains about Balaam's treatment. At this point, Balaam is allowed to see the angel, who informs him that the donkey is the only reason the angel did not kill Balaam. Balaam immediately repents, but is told to go on."

For other uses , see Here Comes the Sun ( disambiguation ) . `` Here Comes the Sun '' Song by the Beatles from the album Abbey Road Published Harrisongs Released 26 September 1969 ( 1969 - 09 - 26 ) Recorded 7 July -- 19 August 1969 Genre Folk pop pop rock Length 3 : 06 Label Apple Songwriter ( s ) George Harrison Producer ( s ) George Martin Audio sample file help `` Here Comes the Sun '' is a song written by George Harrison that was first released on the Beatles ' 1969 album Abbey Road . Along with `` Something '' and `` While My Guitar Gently Weeps '' , it is one of Harrison 's best - known compositions from the Beatles era . The song was written at the country house of his friend Eric Clapton , where Harrison had chosen to play truant for the day , to avoid attending a meeting at the Beatles ' Apple Corps organisation . The lyrics reflect the composer 's relief at both the arrival of spring and the temporary respite he was experiencing from the band 's business affairs . The Beatles recorded `` Here Comes the Sun '' at London 's EMI Studios in the summer of 1969 . Led by Harrison 's acoustic guitar , the recording also features Moog synthesizer , which he had introduced to the Beatles ' sound after acquiring an early model of the instrument in California . Reflecting the continued influence of Indian classical music on Harrison 's writing , the composition includes a series of unusual time changes . `` Here Comes the Sun '' has received acclaim from music critics . Combined with his other contribution to Abbey Road , `` Something '' , it gained for Harrison the level of recognition as a songwriter that had previously been reserved for his bandmates John Lennon and Paul McCartney . Harrison played the song during many of his relatively rare live performances as a solo artist , including at the Concert for Bangladesh in 1971 and , with Paul Simon , during his appearance on Saturday Night Live in 1976 . Richie Havens and Steve Harley & Cockney Rebel each had hit singles with `` Here Comes the Sun '' in the 1970s . Nina Simone , George Benson , Booker T. & the M.G. 's , Peter Tosh and Joe Brown are among the many other artists who have covered the song . Contents ( hide ) 1 Composition 2 Musical structure 3 Recording 4 Release and reception 5 Cultural references and legacy 6 Cover versions 6.1 Steve Harley & Cockney Rebel 6.2 Other artists 7 Personnel 8 References 9 Sources 10 External links Composition ( edit ) `` Here Comes the Sun '' is one of Harrison 's best - known Beatles compositions alongside `` Something '' and `` While My Guitar Gently Weeps '' . The early months of 1969 were a difficult period for Harrison : he had quit the band temporarily , he was arrested for marijuana possession , and he had his tonsils removed . Harrison states in his autobiography , I , Me , Mine : `` Here Comes the Sun '' was written at the time when Apple was getting like school , where we had to go and be businessmen : ' Sign this ' and ' sign that . ' Anyway , it seems as if winter in England goes on forever , by the time spring comes you really deserve it . So one day I decided I was going to sag off Apple and I went over to Eric Clapton 's house . The relief of not having to go see all those dopey accountants was wonderful , and I walked around the garden with one of Eric 's acoustic guitars and wrote `` Here Comes the Sun '' . As Clapton states in his autobiography , the house in question is known as Hurtwood Edge . When interviewed in the Martin Scorsese documentary George Harrison : Living in the Material World , Clapton said he believed the month was April . Data from two meteorological stations in the London area show that April 1969 set a record for sunlight hours for the 1960s . The Greenwich station recorded 189 hours for April , a high that was not beaten until 1984 . The Greenwich data also show that February and March were much colder than the norm for the 1960s , which would account for Harrison 's reference to a `` long , cold , lonely winter '' . Musical structure ( edit ) The song is in the key of A major . The main refrain uses a IV ( D chord ) to V - of - V ( B chord ) progression ( the reverse of that used in `` Eight Days a Week '' and `` Sgt . Pepper 's Lonely Hearts Club Band '' ) . The melody in the verse and refrain basically follows the pentatonic scale from E up to C ♯ ( scale steps 5 , 6 , 1 , 2 , 3 ) . One feature is the increasing syncopation in the vocal parts . Another feature is the guitar flat - picking that embellishes the E7 ( V7 ) chord from 2 : 03 to 2 : 11 , creating tension for resolution on the tonic A chord at `` Little darlin ' `` . The bridge involves a ♭ III - ♭ VII - IV - I - V7 triple descending 4th ( or Tri-Plagal ) progression ( with an extra V7 ) as the vocals move from `` Sun '' ( ♭ III or C chord ) to `` sun '' ( ♭ VII or G chord ) to `` sun '' ( IV or D chord ) to `` comes '' ( I or A chord ) and the additional 4th descent to a V7 ( E7 ) chord . The lyric here ( `` Sun , sun , sun , here it comes '' ) has been described as taking `` on the quality of a meditator 's mantra '' . The song also features extreme 4 / 4 ( in the verse ) and a sequence of 11 / 8 + 4 / 4 + 7 / 8 ( which can also be transcribed as 11 / 8 + 15 / 8 ) in the bridge , phrasing interludes which Harrison drew from Indian music influences . In the second verse ( 0 : 59 -- 1 : 13 ) the Moog synthesizer doubles the solo guitar line and in the third verse the Moog adds an obbligato line an octave above . The last four bars ( 2 : 54 -- 3 : 04 ) juxtapose the guitar break with a repeat of the bridge . Recording ( edit ) Harrison , Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr recorded the rhythm track in 13 takes on 7 July 1969 . John Lennon did not contribute to the song as he was recovering from a car crash . Towards the end of the session Harrison spent an hour re-recording his acoustic guitar part . He capoed his guitar on the 7th fret , resulting in the final key of A major ( in fact , slightly above A major due to the track being varispeeded by less than a semitone ) . He also used the same technique on his 1965 song `` If I Needed Someone '' , which shares a similar melodic pattern . The following day he taped his lead vocals , and he and McCartney recorded their backing vocals twice to give a fuller sound . A harmonium and handclaps were added on 16 July . Harrison added an electric guitar run through a Leslie speaker on 6 August , and the orchestral parts ( George Martin 's score for two piccolos , two flutes , two alto flutes and two clarinets ) were added on 15 August . `` Here Comes the Sun '' was completed four days later with the addition of Harrison 's Moog synthesizer part . The master tapes reveal that Harrison recorded a guitar solo that was not included in the final mix at that time . Release and reception ( edit ) Abbey Road was released on 26 September 1969 with `` Here Comes the Sun '' sequenced as the opening track on side two of the LP . Along with `` Something '' , which was issued as a single from the album , the song established Harrison as a composer to match Lennon and McCartney . According to author Alan Clayson , Harrison 's two Abbey Road compositions received `` the most widespread syndication '' of all the tracks on the album , partly through the number of cover versions they attracted . Nine years later , Harrison recorded `` Here Comes the Moon '' as a lyrical successor to the song . In Japan , `` Here Comes the Sun '' was issued on a single in 1970 , as the B - side to McCartney 's Abbey Road track `` Oh ! Darling '' . While the Beatles never released the track on a single in Britain , new rules implemented to the UK Singles Chart in 2007 allowed any song to enter the charts based on download sales . This allowed several songs recorded by the Beatles to list on the charts when the group 's back catalogue became available for download on iTunes in 2010 , including `` Here Comes the Sun '' , which peaked at number 58 on 27 November that year . Writing for Rolling Stone in 2002 , Mikal Gilmore likened `` Here Comes the Sun '' to the McCartney - written `` Let It Be '' and Lennon 's `` Imagine '' , as Harrison 's `` graceful anthem of hope amid difficult realities '' . While expressing regret at having underestimated Harrison as a songwriter , Martin described `` Here Comes the Sun '' as being `` in some ways one of the best songs ever written '' . Cultural references and legacy ( edit ) In 1977 , astronomer and science populariser Carl Sagan attempted to have `` Here Comes the Sun '' included on a disc of music accompanying the Voyager space mission . Titled the Voyager Golden Record , copies of the disc were put on board both spacecraft in the Voyager program in order to provide any entity that recovered them with a representative sample of human civilization . Writing in his book Murmurs of Earth , Sagan recalls that the Beatles favoured the idea , but `` ( they ) did not own the copyright , and the legal status of the piece seemed too murky to risk . '' When the probes were launched in 1977 , the song was not included . The track has appeared in many critics ' lists of the Beatles ' best recordings . Among these , the NME placed it at number 4 in the magazine 's 2015 list of `` the 100 Greatest Beatles Songs '' . In a similar poll compiled by Mojo in 2006 , where the song appeared at number 21 , Danny Eccleston described it as `` perhaps the best song -- outside ' Jerusalem ' -- that religion can claim credit for '' , adding : `` Those who professed surprise at Harrison 's immediate elevation to Most Successful Solo Beatle status ( in 1970 ) clearly were n't listening to this . '' `` Here Comes the Sun '' appeared at number 28 on Rolling Stone 's 2010 list , where the editors commented : `` Along with ' Something , ' it gave notice that the Beatles now had three formidable composers . '' `` Here Comes the Sun '' was played as the entrance music for Ivanka Trump at the 2016 Republican National Convention . The George Harrison estate complained about the song being used to support Donald Trump 's presidential campaign , saying it was `` offensive and against the wishes of the George Harrison estate '' . The Harrison family later tweeted : `` If it had been Beware of Darkness , then we MAY have approved it ! # TrumpYourself .

3212091945812833816 | Wonder Woman | Wonder Woman - Wikipedia Wonder Woman Jump to : navigation , search This article is about the character known as `` Princess Diana of Themyscira '' and `` Diana Prince '' . For other characters given this name , as well as other uses , see Wonder Woman ( disambiguation ) . It has been suggested that Diana Prince be merged into this article . ( Discuss ) Proposed since January 2018 . Wonder Woman Wonder Woman in Justice # 5 ( June 2006 ) Art by Doug Braithwaite and Alex Ross Publication information Publisher DC Comics First appearance All Star Comics # 8 ( October 1941 ) Created by William Moulton Marston ( writer ) Harry G. Peter ( artist ) In - story information Alter ego Princess Diana of Themyscira Species Amazonian - Olympian ( Demigod , 2011 -- present ) Place of origin Themyscira Team affiliations Justice League Justice Society of America Partnerships Steve Trevor Batman Superman Wonder Girl Notable aliases Diana Prince Abilities Superhuman strength , speed , durability , reflexes , and immortality Accelerated healing factor Flight Uses Lasso of Truth , indestructible bracelets , projectile tiara , sword , and shield Ability to communicate with animals Wonder Woman is a fictional superhero appearing in American comic books published by DC Comics . The character is a founding member of the Justice League , a goddess , and Ambassador - at - Large of the Amazon people . The character first appeared in All Star Comics # 8 in December 1941 and first starred in Sensation Comics # 1 , January 1942 . In her homeland , the island nation of Themyscira , her official title is Princess Diana of Themyscira , Daughter of Hippolyta . When blending into the society outside of her homeland , she adopts her civilian identity Diana Prince . The character is also referred to by such epithets as the `` Amazing Amazon '' , the `` Spirit of Truth '' , `` Themyscira 's Champion '' , the `` God - Killer '' , and the `` Goddess of Love and War '' . Wonder Woman was created by the American psychologist and writer William Moulton Marston ( pen name : Charles Moulton ) , and artist Harry G. Peter . Marston 's wife , Elizabeth , and their life partner , Olive Byrne , are credited as being his inspiration for the character 's appearance . Marston 's comics featured his ideas on DISC theory , and the character drew a great deal of inspiration from early feminists , and especially from birth control pioneer Margaret Sanger ; in particular , her piece `` Woman and the New Race '' . The Wonder Woman title has been published by DC Comics almost continuously except for a brief hiatus in 1986 . As one of the world 's first and foremost superheroines , Wonder Woman at once embodies the unrivaled force and supreme grace of a born warrior , and the genuine compassion and understanding of a true humanitarian . As a symbol of equality , power , and truth , her natural confidence and unmistakable intelligence made her unequaled . Wonder Woman 's origin story relates that she was sculpted from clay by her mother Queen Hippolyta and given life by Aphrodite , along with superhuman powers as gifts by the Greek gods . In recent years , DC changed her background with the revelation that she is the daughter of Zeus and Hippolyta , jointly raised by her mother and her aunts Antiope and Menalippe . The character has changed in depiction over the decades , including briefly losing her powers entirely in the 1970s ; by the 1980s , artist George Perez gave her a muscular look and emphasized her Amazonian heritage . Wonder Woman 's Amazonian training helped to develop a wide range of extraordinary skills in tactics , hunting , and combat . She possesses an arsenal of advanced technology , including the Lasso of Truth , a pair of indestructible bracelets , a tiara which serves as a projectile , and , in older stories , a range of devices based on Amazon technology . Wonder Woman 's character was created during World War II ; the character in the story was initially depicted fighting Axis military forces as well as an assortment of colorful supervillains , although over time her stories came to place greater emphasis on characters , deities , and monsters from Greek mythology . Many stories depicted Wonder Woman rescuing herself from bondage , which defeated the `` damsels in distress '' trope that was common in comics during the 1940s . In the decades since her debut , Wonder Woman has gained a cast of enemies bent on eliminating the Amazon , including classic villains such as Ares , Cheetah , Doctor Poison , Circe , Doctor Psycho , and Giganta , along with more recent adversaries such as Veronica Cale and the First Born . Wonder Woman has also regularly appeared in comic books featuring the superhero teams Justice Society ( from 1941 ) and Justice League ( from 1960 ) . The character is a well - known figure in popular culture that has been adapted to various media . June 3rd is Wonder Woman Day . Notable depictions of the character in other media include Gloria Steinem placing the character on the cover of the second edition of Ms. in 1971 ; the 1975 -- 1979 Wonder Woman TV series starring Lynda Carter ; as well as animated series such as the Super Friends and Justice League . Since Carter 's television series , studios struggled to introduce a new live - action Wonder Woman to audiences , although the character continued to feature in a variety of toys and merchandise , as well as animated adaptations of DC properties , including a direct - to - DVD animated feature starring Keri Russell . Attempts to return Wonder Woman to television have included a television pilot for NBC in 2011 , closely followed by another stalled production for The CW . Gal Gadot portrays Wonder Woman in the DC Extended Universe , starting with the 2016 film Batman v Superman : Dawn of Justice , marking the character 's second appearance in a feature film ( The Lego Movie ( 2014 ) is the first as an animated character ) in its 75 - year history . Gadot also starred in the character 's first solo live - action film , Wonder Woman , which was released on June 2 , 2017 .

This article caught the attention of comics publisher Max Gaines , who hired Marston as an educational consultant for National Periodicals and All - American Publications , two of the companies that would merge to form DC Comics . At that time , Marston wanted to create his own new superhero ; Marston 's wife and fellow psychologist Elizabeth suggested to him that it should be a woman : William Moulton Marston , a psychologist already famous for inventing the polygraph , struck upon an idea for a new kind of superhero , one who would triumph not with fists or firepower , but with love . `` Fine , '' said Elizabeth . `` But make her a woman . '' Marston introduced the idea to Gaines . Given the go - ahead , Marston developed Wonder Woman , whom he believed to be a model of that era 's unconventional , liberated woman . Marston also drew inspiration from the bracelets worn by Olive Byrne , who lived with the couple in a polyamorous relationship . Wonder Woman debuted in All Star Comics # 8 ( cover date Dec / Jan 1941 / 1942 , released in October 1941 ) , scripted by Marston . Marston was the creator of a systolic - blood - pressure - measuring apparatus , which was crucial to the development of the polygraph ( lie detector ) . Marston 's experience with polygraphs convinced him that women were more honest than men in certain situations and could work more efficiently . Marston designed Wonder Woman to be an allegory for the ideal love leader ; the kind of women who he believed should run society . `` Wonder Woman is psychological propaganda for the new type of woman who should , I believe , rule the world '' , Marston wrote . In a 1943 issue of The American Scholar , Marston wrote : Not even girls want to be girls so long as our feminine archetype lacks force , strength , and power . Not wanting to be girls , they do n't want to be tender , submissive , peace - loving as good women are . Women 's strong qualities have become despised because of their weakness . The obvious remedy is to create a feminine character with all the strength of Superman plus all the allure of a good and beautiful woman . Marston went on record by describing bondage and submission as a `` respectable and noble practice '' . Marston wrote in a weakness for Wonder Woman , which was attached to a fictional stipulation that he dubbed `` Aphrodite 's Law '' , that made the chaining of her `` Bracelets of Submission '' together by a man take away her Amazonian super strength . However , not everything about his creation was explicitly explained in any one source , which caused confusion among writers and fans for many years . Golden Age ( edit ) Main article : Golden Age of Comic Books Initially , Wonder Woman was an Amazon champion who wins the right to return Steve Trevor -- a United States intelligence officer whose plane had crashed on the Amazons ' isolated island homeland -- to `` Man 's World '' and to fight crime and the evil of the Nazis . During this period , Wonder Woman joined the Justice Society of America as the team 's secretary . Silver Age ( edit ) Main article : Silver Age of Comic Books During the Silver Age , under writer Robert Kanigher , Wonder Woman 's origin was revamped , along with other characters ' . The new origin story increased the character 's Hellenic and mythological roots : receiving the blessing of each deity in her crib , Diana is destined to become as `` beautiful as Aphrodite , wise as Athena , strong as Hercules , and swift as Hermes . '' At the end of the 1960s , under the guidance of Mike Sekowsky , Wonder Woman surrendered her powers in order to remain in Man 's World rather than accompany her fellow Amazons to another dimension . Wonder Woman begins using the alias Diana Prince and opens a mod boutique . She acquires a Chinese mentor named I Ching , who teaches Diana martial arts and weapons skills . Using her fighting skill instead of her powers , Diana engaged in adventures that encompassed a variety of genres , from espionage to mythology . This phase of her story was directly influenced by the British spy thriller The Avengers and Diana Rigg 's portrayal of Emma Peel . Bronze Age ( edit ) Main article : Bronze Age of Comic Books In the early 1970s the character returned to her superhero roots in the Justice League of America and to the World War II era in her own title . This however , was ultimately due to the popularity of the TV series at the time also having Wonder Woman set in WW2 era , and was shifted back to the 1970s era once the TV show did the same . With a new decade arriving , DC president Jenette Kahn ordered a revamp in Wonder Woman 's appearance . Artist Milton Glaser , who also designed the `` bullet '' logo adopted by DC in 1977 , created a stylized `` WW '' emblem that evoked and replaced the eagle in her bodice , and debuted in 1982 . The emblem in turn was incorporated by studio letterer Todd Klein onto the monthly title 's logo , which lasted for a year and a half before being replaced by a version from Glaser 's studio . With sales of the title continuing to decline in 1985 ( despite an unpublished revamp that was solicited ) , the series was canceled and ended in issue # 329 ( February 1986 ) written by Gerry Conway , depicting Steve Trevor 's marriage to Wonder Woman . The Crisis on Infinite Earths crossover of 1986 was designed and written with the purpose of streamlining most of DC 's characters into one more - focused continuity and reinventing them for a new era , thus Wonder Woman and Steve Trevor were declared to come from the Earth - Two dimension , and along with all of their exploits , were erased from history , so that a new Wonder Woman character , story and timeline could take priority . Modern Age ( edit ) Main article : Modern Age of Comic Books Following the 1985 Crisis on Infinite Earths series , George Pérez , Len Wein , and Greg Potter rewrote the character 's origin story , depicting Wonder Woman as an emissary and ambassador from Themyscira to Patriarch 's World , charged with the mission of bringing peace to the outside world . Pérez incorporated a variety of deities and concepts from Greek mythology in Wonder Woman 's stories and origin . His rendition of the character acted as the foundation for the modern Wonder Woman stories , as he expanded upon the widely accepted origin of Diana being birthed out of clay . The relaunch was a critical and commercial success . In August 2010 ( issue # 600 ) , J. Michael Straczynski took over the series ' writing duties and introduced Wonder Woman to an alternate timeline created by the Gods in which Paradise Island had been destroyed and the Amazons scattered around the world . In this timeline , Diana is an orphan raised in New York . The entire world has forgotten Wonder Woman 's existence and the main story of this run was of Diana trying to restore reality even though she does not properly remember it herself . A trio of Death Goddesses called The Morrigan acted as the main enemy of Wonder Woman . In this run , Wonder Woman wears a new costume designed by Jim Lee . Straczynski determined the plot and continued writing duties until Wonder Woman # 605 ; writer Phil Hester then continued his run , which ultimately concluded in Wonder Woman # 614 .

In the 21st century , Wonder Woman has been paired with these two in multiple titles as part of a trinity of DC 's most popular and important superheroes . In 2011 's The New 52 , DC Comics relaunched its entire line of publications to attract a new generation of readers , and thus released volume 4 of the Wonder Woman comic book title . Brian Azzarello and Cliff Chiang were assigned writing and art duties respectively and revamped the character 's history considerably . In this new continuity , Wonder Woman wears a costume similar to her original Marston costume , utilizes a sword and shield , and has a completely new origin . No longer a clay figure brought to life by the magic of the gods , she is , instead , a demi - goddess and the natural - born daughter of Hippolyta and Zeus . Azzarello and Chiang 's revamp of the character was critically acclaimed , but highly divisive among long time fans of the character . In 2016 , DC Comics once again relaunched all of its publications as part of the `` DC Rebirth '' continuity reboot , and new fifth volume of Wonder Woman was released bi-monthly with writer Greg Rucka . This fifth volume of Wonder Woman is part of the `` DC Universe '' , the current continuity established after Rebirth . Initially , the new series does not use a regular storyline that exists between each issue ; instead two separate storylines share the book , with an installment of one story published every other issue , and those of the other storyline published in between those . This practice began with the storyline `` The Lies '' for the odd numbered issues , and `` Year One '' for the even numbered issues . The new storyline as presented in these issues effectively retcons the events from the previous New 52 series . `` The Lies '' storyline reveals that a number of events from the previous Wonder Woman series in which Diana was made the Queen of the Amazons and the God of War , was in fact all an illusion created by a mysterious villain , and she had never once been back to Themyscira ever since she left , nor is she capable of returning there . The `` Year One '' story is presented as an all - new origin story for Diana , which reveals how she received her powers from the Olympian Gods , which was intended to bring her back to her classical DC roots . Wonder Woman appears in DC Rebirth with a revised look , which includes a red cape and light armor fittings . Along with her lasso and bracelets , she now regularly utilizes her sword and shield . Wonder Woman : Rebirth artist Liam Sharp described the new armor as a utilitarian piece which allows her to move more freely . Starting from Issue 26 , the series returned to a regular storyline between each issue . Characterization ( edit ) Diana Prince ( edit ) Main article : Diana Prince The `` Diana Prince '' identity has been part of Wonder Woman 's history since her comics debut in 1941 . In the early Golden Age stories , Wonder Woman served as a military secretary during World War II , using Prince as her cover . Later occupations Wonder Woman performed as Prince included translator at the United Nations , Air Force captain and ambassador , and in the ' 70s TV series , Lynda Carter 's Wonder Woman used Prince to serve as an agent of the Inter-Agency Defense Command . In the DC Extended Universe , Prince works as curator for the Department of Antiquities at the extremely prestigious Louvre Museum and is held in very high esteem by the curator of the Gotham City Museum of Antiquities . Her tremendously long life - span , accumulation of immense amount of knowledge , and exceptional perceptiveness , makes Diana Prince the wisest and most emotionally intelligent member of the Justice League . During Marston 's run , Diana Prince was the name of an army nurse whom Wonder Woman met . The nurse wanted to meet her fiancé , who was transferred to South America , but was unable to arrange for money to do so . As Wonder Woman needed a secret identity to look after Steve ( who was admitted to the same army hospital in which Diana Prince worked ) , and because both of them looked alike , Wonder Woman gave the nurse money to go to her fiancé in exchange for the nurse 's credentials and took Diana Prince as her alias . She started to work as an army nurse and later as an Air Force secretary . The identity of Diana Prince was especially prominent in a series published in the early 1970s , in which she fought crime only under the Prince alias and without her mystic powers . To support herself , she ran a mod clothing boutique . The Diana Prince alias also played an important role after the events of Infinite Crisis . Wonder Woman was broadcast worldwide killing a villain named Maxwell Lord , as he was mind controlling Superman into killing Batman . When Wonder Woman caught him in her lasso , demanding to know how to stop Superman , Maxwell revealed that the only way to stop him was to kill Lord , so as a last resort Diana snapped his neck . To recover from the trauma of killing another person , the Amazon went into a self - imposed exile for one year . On her return to public life , Diana realized that her life as a full - time celebrity superhero and ambassador had kept her removed from humanity . Because of this she assumed the persona of Diana Prince and became an agent at the Department of Metahuman Affairs . During a later battle with the witch Circe , a spell was placed on Diana leaving her powerless when not in the guise of Wonder Woman . The New 52 universe does not have a `` Diana Prince '' identity as stated in an interview by series writer Brian Azzarello . However , when she and Superman began dating , for her civilian identity she used the Diana Prince alias whenever she was around Clark Kent ; such as when she introduced herself to Lois Lane at Lois 's housewarming party under that name . The DC Rebirth universe have n't featured the Diana Prince identity as much in favor of Wonder Woman just going by Diana of Themyscira in her down time . Personality ( edit ) Princess Diana commands respect both as Wonder Woman and Diana Prince ; her epithetical title -- The Amazon Princess -- illustrates the dichotomy of her character . She is a powerful , strong - willed character who does not back down from a fight or a challenge . Yet , she is a diplomat who strongly `` favors the pen '' , and a lover of peace who would never seek to fight or escalate a conflict . She 's simultaneously both the most fierce and most nurturing member of the Justice League ; and her political connections as a United Nations Honorary Ambassador and the ambassador of a warrior nation makes her an invaluable addition to the team . With her powerful abilities , centuries of training and experienced at handling threats that range from petty crime to threats that are of a magical or supernatural nature , Diana is capable of competing with nearly any hero or villain . Many writers have depicted Diana in different personalities and tone ; between both of her diametric extremes ; that of a worldly warrior , a highly compassionate and calm ambassador , and sometimes also as a naive and innocent person , depending on the writer . What has remained constant , and is a mainstay of the character , is her nurturing humanity : her overwhelming belief in love , empathy , compassion , and having a strong conscience . This trait had been the reason for her induction into the Star Sapphires . Writer Gail Simone was applauded for her portrayal of Wonder Woman during her run on the series , with comic book reviewer Dan Phillips of IGN noting that `` she 's molded Diana into a very relatable and sympathetic character . '' Actress Gal Gadot described Wonder Woman as `` an idealist . Experienced , super-confident . Open and sincere even in the midst of a gruesome , bloody conflict . Having many strengths and powers , but at the end of the day she 's a woman with a lot of emotional intelligence '' . In the Golden Age , Wonder Woman adhered to an Amazon code of helping any in need , even misogynistic people , and never accepting a reward for saving someone ; while conversely , the modern version of the character has been shown to perform lethal and fatal actions when left with no other alternative , exemplified in the killing of Maxwell Lord in order to save Superman 's life . The New 52 version of the character has been portrayed to be a younger , more headstrong , loving , fierce and willful person . Brian Azzarello stated in a video interview with DC Comics that they 're building a very `` confident '' , `` impulsive '' and `` good - hearted '' character in her . He referred to her trait of feeling compassion as both her strength and weakness . A distinctive trait of her characterization is a group of signature mythological exclamations , beginning with `` Great Aphrodite ! '' , followed by `` Great Hera ! '' , `` Merciful Minerva ! '' , and `` Suffering Sappho ! ' , some of which were contributed by Elizabeth Holloway Marston . Others ( edit ) Main article : Alternative versions of Wonder Woman Diana , after her death , was granted divinity as the Goddess of Truth by her gods for such faithful devotion . During her brief time as a god of Olympus , Diana was replaced in the role of Wonder Woman by her mother , Queen Hippolyta . Unlike Diana receiving the title of Wonder Woman in honor , Hippolyta 's role as Wonder Woman was meant to be a punishment for her betrayal in Artemis ' death as well as for unintentionally killing her own daughter . However , Hippolyta eventually grew to enjoy the freedom and adventure the title came with . Whereas Diana used the Lasso of Truth as her primary weapon , Hippolyta favored a broad sword . John Byrne , the writer that introduced the concept of Hippolyta as the first Wonder Woman , has explained his intentions in a post in his message board : I thought George 's one `` mistake '' in rebooting Wonder Woman was making her only 25 years old when she left Paradise Island . I preferred the idea of a Diana who was thousands of years old ( as , if I recall correctly , she was in the TV series ) . From that angle , I would have liked to have seen Diana having been Wonder Woman in WW2 , and be returning to our world in the reboot . Not having that option , I took the next best course , and had Hippolyta fill that role . As Wonder Woman , Queen Hippolyta immediately got involved in a time travel mission back to the 1940s with Jay Garrick . After this mission , she elected to join the Justice Society of America and remained in that era for eight years , where her teammates nicknamed her `` Polly '' . During that time she had a relationship with Ted Grant . Hippolyta also made visits into the past to see her godchild Lyta , daughter of Hippolyta 's protege Helena , the Golden Age Fury . These visits happened yearly from young Lyta 's perspective and also accounted for Hippolyta 's participation in the JSA / JLA team ups . When she returned from the past , Hippolyta took Diana 's place in the JLA as well . Artemis of Bana - Mighdall briefly served as Wonder Woman during Hippolyta 's trials for a new Wonder Woman . Orana , a character similar to Artemis , defeated Diana in a new contest and became Wonder Woman in pre-Crisis on Infinite Earths continuity . Orana was killed during her first mission . Others who have donned the Wonder Woman persona include Nubia , Cassandra Sandsmark , and Donna Troy . Abilities ( edit ) Powers and skills ( edit ) Wonder Woman without special powers fighting crime as Diana Prince . Cover of Wonder Woman # 189 ( July 1970 ) . Art by Mike Sekowsky . Diana is depicted as a masterful athlete , acrobat , fighter and strategist , trained and experienced in many ancient and modern forms of armed and unarmed combat , including exclusive Amazonian martial arts . In some versions , her mother trained her , as Wonder Girl , for a future career as Wonder Woman . From the beginning , she is portrayed as highly skilled in using her Amazon bracelets to stop bullets and in wielding her golden lasso . Batman once called her the `` best melee fighter in the world '' . The modern version of the character is known to use lethal force when she deems it necessary . In the New 52 continuity , her superior combat skills are the result of her Amazon training , as well as receiving further training from Ares , the God of War , himself , since as early as her childhood . The Golden Age Wonder Woman also had knowledge in psychology , as did her Amazon sisters . Pre-Crisis ( edit ) The Golden Age Wonder Woman had strength that was comparable to the Golden Age Superman . Wonder Woman was capable of bench pressing 15,000 pounds even before she had received her bracelets , and later hoisted a 50,000 pound boulder above her head to inspire Amazons facing the test . Even when her super strength was temporarily nullified , she still had enough mortal strength of an Amazon to break down a prison door to save Steve Trevor . In one of her earliest appearances , she is shown running easily at 60 mph ( 97 km / h ) , and later jumps from a building and lands on the balls of her feet . She was able to heal faster than a normal human being due to her birthright consumption of water from Paradise Island 's Fountain of Eternal Youth . Her strength would be removed in accordance with `` Aphrodite 's Law '' if she allowed her bracelets to be bound or chained by a male . She also had an array of mental and psychic abilities , as corresponding to Marston 's interest in parapsychology and metaphysics . Such an array included ESP , astral projection , telepathy ( with or without the Mental Radio ) , mental control over the electricity in her body , the Amazonian ability to turn brain energy into muscle power , etc . Wonder Woman first became immune to electric shocks after having her spirit stripped from her atoms by Dr. Psycho 's Electro Atomizer ; it was also discovered that she was unable to send a mental radio message without her body . Wonder Woman ( vol. 1 ) # 105 revealed that Diana was formed from clay by the Queen of the Amazons , given life and power by four of the Greek and Roman gods ( otherwise known as the Olympian deities ) as gifts , corresponding to her renowned epithet : `` Beautiful as Aphrodite , wise as Athena , swifter than Hermes , and stronger than Hercules '' , making her the strongest of the Amazons . Wonder Woman 's Amazon training gave her limited telepathy , profound scientific knowledge , and the ability to speak every language -- even caveman and Martian languages . Between 1966 and 1967 , new powers were added , such as super breath . In the Silver and Bronze Ages of comics , Wonder Woman was able to further increase her strength . In times of great need , removing her bracelets would temporarily augment her power tenfold , but cause her to go berserk in the process . These powers received changes after the events of Crisis on Infinite Earths . Post-Crisis ( edit ) In the Post-Crisis universe , Wonder Woman receives her super powers as a blessing from Olympian deities just like the Silver Age version before , but with changes to some of her powers : Demeter , the goddess of agriculture and fertility , blessed Diana with strength drawn from the Earth spirit Gaea , making her one of the physically strongest heroes in the DC Universe and the strongest female hero in the DC Universe . This strength has allowed her to usually overwhelm Superman and Supergirl , easily using strength alone to overpower such characters . She has also held her own against Darkseid . However , now Diana is the daughter of Zeus , king of the Greek Gods , so it is unclear as to how much of her power and strength is a direct result of her divine heritage . Her connection to the earth allows her to heal at an accelerated rate so long as she is in contact with the planet . However , as mentioned earlier , now that she is a demigoddess , it has been suggested that she heals extremely quickly also due to her divine heritage . In rare cases where she has been gravely injured , Diana showed the ability to physically merge with the earth , causing whatever injuries or poisons to be expelled from her body ; such an act is considered sacred , and can only be used in extreme cases . Pallas Athena , the goddess of wisdom and war , granted Diana great wisdom , intelligence , and military prowess . Athena 's gift has enabled Diana to master over a dozen languages ( including those of alien origin ) , multiple complex crafts , sciences and philosophies , as well as leadership , military strategy , and armed and unarmed combat . More recently , Athena bound her own eyesight to Diana 's , granting her increased empathy . Artemis , goddess of the hunt , animals , and the Moon , graced Diana with the Eyes of the Hunter and unity with beasts , meaning Diana can communicate with all animals , including dinosaurs . The Eyes of the Hunter ability gives Diana a full range of enhanced senses , including telescopic vision and super hearing . Hestia , goddess of hearth and home , granted Diana sisterhood with fire . This power has been shown to control the `` Fires of Truth '' , which Diana wields through her lasso , making anyone bound by it unable to lie . This ability also grants her resistance to both normal and supernatural fire . Hermes , the messenger god of speed , granted Diana superhuman speed and the ability to fly . She is capable of flying at speeds approaching half the speed of light . She can react quickly enough to deflect bullets , lasers , and other projectiles with her virtually impenetrable bracelets . After the 2011 relaunch of the character , Wonder Woman does not naturally possess the power of flight . She gains it once she is hit by a feather thrown by Hermes . Aphrodite , goddess of love , bestowed Diana with stunning beauty , as well as a kind heart . While not completely invulnerable , she is highly resistant to great amounts of concussive force and extreme temperatures and matches Superman in this regard , although edged weapons or projectiles applied with sufficient force are able to pierce her skin . Due to her divine origins , Diana can resist many forms of magical manipulation . She is able to astrally project herself into various lands of myth . Her physical body reacts to whatever happens to her on the mythical astral plane , leaving her body cut , bruised , or sometimes strengthened once her mind and body are reunited . She can apparently leave the planet through meditation and did this once to rescue Artemis while she was in Hell . The new 52 ( edit ) After the 2011 relaunch , Diana gained new powers . These new abilities , which included superhuman speed , durability , longevity , accelerated healing , and even flight came in addition to her previous attributed Olympian strength . She is now considered to be stronger than Hercules . In addition to her weaponry , Diana 's indestructible bracelets can now create an thunderous explosion when she clashes them together . These new abilities are attributed to being the daughter of Hippolyta and Zeus . Her powers are now considered nearly unmeasurable if she goes without her Bracelets of Submission , which keep her powers in check . She uses these powers in battle against the goddess Artemis and quickly renders her unconscious with ease with a series of carefully positioned counterattacks . While using her godly strength , her outfit and accoutrements lit up and her eyes glowed like her father 's . After becoming the God of War in the pages of Wonder Woman , Diana inherits Ares 's divine abilities . Diana has not exhibited her full powers as War , but is seen in Superman / Wonder Woman # 5 to slip easily into telepathic rapport with a soldier , explaining `` I am War . I know all soldiers , and they know me . '' Rebirth ( edit ) Following the Rebirth retcon , the `` Year One '' storyline explains that while put in a cell after coming to Man 's World , Diana was visited by the Greek gods in animal form . Each gave her powers that would reveal themselves when she needed them to . She first displays strength when she accidentally rips the bars off her cell door when visited by Steve Trevor , Etta Candy , and Barbara Ann Minerva . Later on a trip to the mall , she discovers super speed , great durability , and the power of flight while fighting off a terrorist attack . DC Universe ( edit ) DC Comics ended the Rebirth branding in December 2017 , opting to include everything under a larger `` DC Universe '' banner and naming . The continuity established by Rebirth continues across DC 's comic book titles , including volume five of Wonder Woman . Technology ( edit ) Diana has an arsenal of powerful god - forged gear at her disposal , but her signature equipment are her indestructible bracelets and the Lasso of Truth . Personal armor ( edit ) Wonder Woman 's outfit has varied over time , although almost all of her outfit incarnations have retained some form of breastplate , tiara , bracelets , and her signature five - pointed star symbols . When Wonder Woman was first introduced , she wore a heavily patriotic skirt and red top which incorporated an American eagle and elements of the United States flag , reflecting the comic 's origins during World War II . Later artists introduced what would become Wonder Woman 's classic ensemble , adding an armored plate to her top whose design recalls a letter W and revealing blue short shorts , whose precise length varied from artist to artist . Other artists have experimented with different looks for Wonder Woman over the years , including an all - white mod jumpsuit , a biker outfit , a variation of her mainstream depiction featuring leather pants and a jacket , and a number of armoured battlesuits . Contemporary artists have attempted to emphasise Wonder Woman 's traditional outfit as a red armored top with a blue gladiator skirt . Golden Age Wonder Woman 's outfit design was originally rooted in American symbolism and iconography , which included her signature star symbols , a golden eagle on her chest , crimson red bustier , white belt , and a dark blue star spangled skirt / culotte . She also had a pair of red glowing magnetic earrings which allowed her to receive messages from Queen Desira of the planet Venus . Pre-Crisis At the time of her debut , Wonder Woman sported a red top with a golden eagle emblem , a white belt , blue star - spangled culottes , and red and golden go - go boots . She originally wore a skirt ; however according to Elizabeth Martson , `` It was too hard to draw and would have been over her head most of the time . '' This outfit was entirely based on the American flag , because Wonder Woman was purely an American icon as she debuted during World War II . Later in 1942 , Wonder Woman 's outfit received a slight change -- the culottes were converted entirely into skin - tight shorts and she wore sandals . While earlier most of her back was exposed , during the imposition of the Comics Code Authority in the mid-1950s , Wonder Woman 's outfit was rectified to make her back substantially covered , in order to comply with the Authority 's rule of minimum exposure . During Mike Sekowsky 's run in the late 1960s , Diana surrendered her powers and started using her own skill to fight crime . She wore a series of jumpsuits as her attire , most popular of these was a white one . After Sekowsky 's run ended in the early 1970s , Diana 's roots were reverted to her old mythological ones and she wore a more modernized version of her original outfit , a predecessor to her `` bathing suit '' outfit . Later , in 1976 , her glowing white belt was turned into a yellow one . For Series 3 , artist Terry Dodson redrew her outfit as a strapless swimsuit . Post-Crisis After Crisis on Infinite Earths , George Pérez rebooted the character in 1987 . She wore an outfit similar to her 1970s one , but now with a larger glowing golden belt . This outfit continued until William Messner - Loebs ' run , which had Diana pass on the role of Wonder Woman to Artemis . No longer Wonder Woman , Diana sported a new black biker - girl outfit designed by artist Mike Deodato Jr . After John Byrne took over writing and art duties , he redesigned the Wonder Woman outfit ( Diana was reinstated as Wonder Woman at the end of Loebs ' run ) and joined the emblem and belt together . Her outfit did not receive any prominent change until after the 2005 -- 2006 Infinite Crisis storyline . Similar to her chest - plate , her glowing belt was also shaped into a `` W '' . This outfit continued until issue # 600 -- J. Michael Straczynski 's run of Wonder Woman 's altered timeline changed her outfit drastically . Her outfit was redesigned by Jim Lee and included a redesigned emblem , a golden and red top , black pants , and a later discontinued blue - black jacket . It was later retconned by Gail Simone that Wonder Woman 's outfit design had Amazonian roots . During a flashback in Vol. 3 , Hippolyta is shown issuing orders to have a garment created for Diana , taking inspiration from the skies on the night Diana was born ; a red hunter 's moon and a field of stars against deep blue , and the eagle breastplate being a symbol of Athena 's avian representations . The New 52 Another major outfit change for Wonder Woman came about as part of DC Comics ' 2011 relaunch of its entire line of publications , The New 52 . The character 's original one - piece outfit was restored , although the color combination of red and blue was changed to dark red and blue - black . Her chest - plate , belt and tiara were also changed from gold to a platinum or sterling silver color . Along with her sword , she now also utilizes a shield . She wears many accessories such as arm and neck jewelery styled as the `` WW '' motif . Her outfit is no longer made of fabric , as it now resembles a type of light , flexible body armor . Her boots are now a very dark blue rather than red . The design previously included black trousers , but they were removed and the one - piece look was restored during the time of publication . After the events of the 2015 storyline `` Convergence '' , Diana gets a new armored suit with the classic armor and tiara returning . Wonder Woman 's revised look on the cover of Trinity vol. 2 # 4 ( February 2017 ) . Art by Clay Mann and Brad Anderson . DC Universe Following the 2016 `` DC Rebirth '' continuity relaunch , Wonder Woman 's outfit was redesigned to resemble the one worn in the film Batman v Superman : Dawn of Justice . This outfit is a red bustier with a gold eagle , a blue leather skirt with gold edges with two stars , and knee - high red boots with gold knee guards and accents . Her tiara once again is gold with a red star . She occasionally wears a red cape with a gold clasp and edges . She continues to wear this updated outfit in DC Universe , the continuity established after Rebirth . Wonder Woman ( 2017 film ) Main article : Wonder Woman ( 2017 film ) Her tiara 's signature star symbol is now an eight pointed starburst . According to designer Lindy Hemming and director Patty Jenkins , every design decision made for Themyscira came down to the same question : `` How would I want to live that 's badass ? '' `` To me , they should n't be dressed in armor like men . It should be different . It should be authentic and real ( ... ) and appealing to women . '' When asked about the decision to give the Amazons heeled sandals , Jenkins explained that they also have flats for fighting , adding `` It 's total wish - fulfillment ( ... ) I , as a woman , want Wonder Woman to be sexy , hot as hell , fight badass , and look great at the same time ( ... ) the same way men want Superman to have ridiculously huge pecs and an impractically big body . That makes them feel like the hero they want to be . And my hero , in my head , has really long legs . '' This corresponds to the original intent by William Moulton Marston , who wanted his character to be alluringly feminine . Invisible plane ( edit ) Main article : Invisible plane The Pre-Crisis version of the invisible plane was a necessity because before Crisis on Infinite Earths rewrote Wonder Woman 's history -- along with the histories of many other heroes -- Wonder Woman could not fly . She grew increasingly powerful during and after the Silver Age of Comic Books , acquiring the power to ride wind currents and imitate flight over short distances . This had limitations , however ; for example , if there was no wind and the air was completely still she would be trapped on the ground or if dropped from a distance that she would helplessly fall out of control to the ground . Though this meant that she would rely on the invisible plane less frequently , she always had need of it . The Invisible Plane was a creation of Diana 's during her younger years on Paradise Island . She created it to be an improvement on her mother 's planes which would be shot down in Man 's World . The result of her innovation was an invisible plane that could fly at terrific speeds silently and not be detected by hostile forces . Initially , it was portrayed as being transparent . The Invisible Plane appeared in the very first comic stories , including All - Star Comics # 8 , where it is shown as being able to fly at over 2,000 mph ( 3,200 km / h ) and to send out rainbow rays that penetrate the mist around Paradise Island , as well as landing stealthily and having a built - in radio . Wonder Woman is seen storing the plane at an abandoned farm near Washington , D.C. , in the barn ; she goes there as Lt. Prince and changes clothes in some of the earliest tales . Though never explicitly stated , the Plane is presumably stored there when not in use for the rest of the Pre-Crisis era . In a story published shortly after , it flies at 40 miles ( 64 km ) a second . Shortly thereafter , Wonder Woman is shown being able to summon it with her tiara , have it hover by the War Department , and extend from it a rope ladder with which she could board it . She uses the plane to fly into outer space , and frequently transports Etta Candy and the Holliday Girls , Steve Trevor , and others . During the 1950s , the plane becomes a jet , and is often shown swooping over Lt. Prince 's office ; she strips out of her uniform at super speed and bounds to the plane . Though the Plane was depicted as semi-transparent for the reader 's convenience , in - story dialogue indicated that it actually was completely invisible , or at least able to become so as the need arose . Wonder Woman continued to use the plane for super speed , outer space , and multi-dimensional transport up until the unpowered era of Diana Prince . When Wonder Woman resumed superpowered , costumed operations in 1973 , she continued to use the jet as before , but did glide on air currents for short distances . At one point , Aphrodite granted the plane the power to fly faster than the speed of light for any interstellar voyages her champion might undertake . Thanks to tinkering by gremlins , the Plane even developed intelligence and the power to talk . The plane proved a good friend , eager to help his `` mistress '' and her loved ones in any way possible . It got along especially well with Steve Trevor . Bracelets of Submission ( edit ) Main article : Wonder Woman 's bracelets Diana 's bulletproof bracelets were formed from the remnants of Athena 's legendary shield , the Aegis , to be awarded to her champion . The shield was made from the indestructible hide of the great she - goat , Amalthea , who suckled Zeus as an infant . These forearm guards have thus far proven indestructible and able to absorb the impact of incoming attacks , allowing Wonder Woman to deflect automatic weapon fire and energy blasts . Diana can slam the bracelets together to create a wave of concussive force capable of making strong beings like Superman 's ears bleed . Recently , she gained the ability to channel Zeus 's lightning through her bracelets as well . Zeus explained to her that this power had been contained within the bracelets since their creation , because they were once part of the Aegis , and that he had only recently unlocked it for her use . After the 2011 relaunch of the character , it was revealed that Diana was the daughter of Zeus and Hippolyta and that the bracelets are able to keep the powers she had inherited from Zeus in check . In addition , Hephaestus has modified the bracelets to allow Wonder Woman the sorcerous ability to manifest a sword of grayish metal from each bracelet . Each sword , marked with a red star , takes shape from a flash of lightning , and when Wonder Woman is done with them , the swords disappear , supposedly , back into her bracelets . As such , she has produced other weapons from the bracelets in this way such as a bow that fires explosive arrows , spears and energy bolts among others . The inspiration to give Diana bracelets came from the pair of bracelets worn by Olive Byrne , creator William Moulton Marston 's research assistant and lover . Lasso of Truth ( edit ) Main article : Lasso of Truth The Lasso of Truth , or Lasso of Hestia , was forged by Hephaestus from the golden girdle of Gaea . The original form of the Lasso in the Golden Age was called the Magic Lasso of Aphrodite . It compels all beings who come into contact with it to tell the absolute truth and is virtually indestructible ; in Identity Crisis , Green Arrow mistakenly describes it as `` the only lie detector designed by Zeus . '' The only times it has been broken were when Wonder Woman herself refused to accept the truth revealed by the lasso , such as when she confronted Rama Khan of Jarhanpur , and by Bizarro in Matt Wagner 's non-canonical Batman / Superman / Wonder Woman : Trinity . During the Golden Age , the original form of the Lasso had the power to force anyone caught to obey any command given them , even overriding the mind control of others ; this was effective enough to defeat strong - willed beings like Captain Marvel . Diana wields the Lasso with great precision and accuracy and can use it as a whip or noose . Other items ( edit ) Diana occasionally uses additional weaponry in formal battle , such as ceremonial golden armour with golden wings , pteruges , chestplate , and golden helmet in the shape of an eagle 's head . She possesses a magical sword forged by Hephaestus that is sharp enough to cut the electrons off an atom . As early as the 1950s , Wonder Woman 's tiara has also been used as a razor - edged throwing weapon , returning to her like a boomerang . The tiara allows Wonder Woman to be invulnerable from telepathic attacks , as well as allowing her to telepathically contact people such as the Amazons back on Themyscira using the power of the red star ruby in its center . The Golden , Silver , and Bronze Age portrayals of Wonder Woman showed her using a silent and invisible plane that could be controlled by mental command and fly at speeds up to 3,000 mph ( 4,800 km / h ) . Its appearance has varied over time ; originally it had a propeller , while later it was drawn as a jet aircraft resembling a stealth aircraft . During the golden age Wonder Woman possessed a Purple Ray capable of healing even a fatal gunshot wound to the brain . She also possessed a Mental Radio that could let her receive messages from those in need . As a temporary inductee into the Star Sapphires , Wonder Woman gained access to the violet power ring of love . This ring allowed her to alter her costume at will , create solid - light energy constructs , and reveal a person 's true love to them . She was able to combine the energy with her lasso to enhance its ability . Fictional character biography ( edit ) 20th century ( edit ) Origin ( edit ) In her debut in All Star Comics # 8 , Diana was a member of a tribe of women called the Amazons , native to Paradise Island -- a secluded island set in the middle of a vast ocean . Captain Steve Trevor 's plane crashes on the island and he is found alive but unconscious by Diana and fellow Amazon , and friend , Mala . Diana has him nursed back to health and falls in love with him . A competition is held amongst all the Amazons by Diana 's mother , the Queen of the Amazons Hippolyta , in order to determine who is the most worthy of all the women ; Hippolyta charges the winner with the responsibility of delivering Captain Steve Trevor back to Man 's World and to fight for justice . Hippolyta forbids Diana from entering the competition , but she takes part nonetheless , wearing a mask to conceal her identity . She wins the competition and reveals herself , surprising Hippolyta , who ultimately accepts , and must give in to , Diana 's wish to go to Man 's World . She then is awarded a special uniform made by her mother for her new role as Wonder Woman and safely returns Steve Trevor back to his home country . Golden Age ( edit ) Main article : Golden Age of Comic Books Coming to America for the first time , Wonder Woman comes upon a wailing army nurse . Inquiring about her state , she finds that the nurse wanted to leave for South America with her fiancé but was unable due to shortage of money . As both of them looked identical and Wonder Woman needed a job and a valid identity to look after Steve ( who was admitted in the same army hospital ) , she gives her the money she had earned earlier to help her go to her fiancé in exchange for her credentials . The nurse reveals her name as Diana Prince , and thus , Wonder Woman 's secret identity was created , and she began working as a nurse in the army . Wonder Woman then took part in a variety of adventures , mostly side by side with Trevor . Her most common foes during this period would be Nazi forces led by a German baroness named Paula von Gunther , occasionally evil deities / demigods such as Mars and the Duke of Deception , and then colorful villains like Hypnota , Doctor Psycho , and the Cheetah . Silver Age ( edit ) Main article : Silver Age of Comic Books In the Silver Age , Wonder Woman 's history received several changes . Her earlier origin , which had significant ties to World War II , was changed and her powers were shown to be the product of the gods ' blessings , corresponding to her epithet , `` beautiful as Aphrodite , wise as Athena , stronger than Hercules , and swifter than Hermes '' . The concepts of Wonder Girl and Wonder Tot were also introduced during this period . Wonder Woman ( vol. 1 ) # 179 ( Nov. 1968 ) showed Wonder Woman giving up her powers and returning her costume and title to her mother in order to continue staying in Man 's World . The reason behind this was that all the Amazons were shifting to another dimension , but Diana was unable to accompany them as she needed to stay behind to help Steve , who had been wrongly convicted . Thus , she no longer held the title of Wonder Woman and after meeting and training under a blind martial arts mentor I - Ching , Diana resumed crime fighting as the powerless Diana Prince . She ran a mod - boutique as a business and dressed in a series of jumpsuits while fighting crime . During this period , Samuel R. Delany took over scripting duties with issue # 202 . Delany was initially supposed to write a six - issue story arc , which would culminate in a battle over an abortion clinic , but Delany was removed reportedly due to criticism from Gloria Steinem , who , not knowing the content of the issues Delany was writing , was upset that Wonder Woman had lost her powers and was no longer wearing her traditional costume . Bronze Age ( edit ) Main article : Bronze Age of Comic Books In Wonder Woman Vol 1 # 204 , Diana 's powers and costume were returned to her and she is once again reinstated as Wonder Woman . I - Ching is killed by a crazy sniper in the same issue . Later , Diana meets her sister Nubia , who is Hippolyta 's daughter fashioned out of dark clay ( hence Nubia 's dark complexion ) . Nubia claimed to be the `` Wonder Woman of The Floating Island '' , and she challenges Diana to a duel which ends in a draw . Returning to her home , Nubia would have further adventures involving Diana . The last issue of Volume 1 showed Diana and Steve Trevor announce their love for each other and their subsequent marriage . Modern Age ( edit ) Main article : Modern Age of Comic Books Cover of Wonder Woman vol. 2 , # 1 ( Feb. 1987 ) , showing the character 's look after the Crisis on Infinite Earths continuity reboot . Art by George Pérez . Crisis on Infinite Earths The events of Crisis on Infinite Earths greatly changed and altered the history of the DC Universe . Wonder Woman 's history and origin were considerably revamped by the event . Wonder Woman was now an emissary and ambassador from Themyscira ( the new name for Paradise Island ) to Patriarch 's World , charged with the mission of bringing peace to the outside world . Various deities and concepts from Greek mythology were blended and incorporated into Wonder Woman 's stories and origin . Diana was formed out of clay of the shores of Themyscira by Hippolyta , who wished for a child ; the clay figure was then brought to life by the Greek deities . The Gods then blessed and granted her unique powers and abilities -- beauty from Aphrodite , strength from Demeter , wisdom from Athena , speed and flight from Hermes , Eyes of the Hunter and unity with beasts from Artemis and sisterhood with fire and the ability to discern the truth from Hestia . Due to the reboot , Diana 's operating methods were made distinctive from Superman and Batman 's with her willingness to use deadly force when she judges it necessary . In addition , her previous history and her marriage to Steve Trevor were erased . Trevor was introduced as a man much older than Diana who would later on marry Etta Candy . Instead , Perez created Julia and Vanessa Kapatelis , a Greek - American scholar and her teenage daughter whom Diana would live with when she was in Man 's world and would be major supporting characters in the series for years . War of the Gods Main article : War of the Gods ( comics ) Starting in Wonder Woman Vol 2 # 51 , The Amazons , who had revealed their presence to the world in Wonder Woman Vol 2 # 50 , are blamed for a series of murders and for the theft of various artifacts . The Amazons are then taken into custody , Queen Hippolyta is nowhere to be found and Steve Trevor is forced by General Yedziniak to attack Themyscira . These events lead to the `` War of the Gods '' occurring . The culprit of the murders , thefts and the framing of the Amazons is revealed to be the witch Circe , who `` kills '' Diana by reverting her form back into the clay she was born from . Later , Wonder Woman is brought back to life and together with Donna Troy , battles Circe and ultimately defeats her . Circe would later return by unknown means . When Hippolyta and the other Amazons were trapped in a demonic dimension , she started receiving visions about the death of Wonder Woman . Fearing her daughter 's death , Hippolyta created a false claim that Diana was not worthy of continuing her role as Wonder Woman , and arranged for a contest to determine who would be the new Wonder Woman , thus protecting Diana from her supposed fate . The participants of the final round were Diana and Artemis , and with the help of some mystic manipulation by Hippolyta , Artemis won the contest . Thus , Diana was forced to hand over her title and costume to Artemis , who became the new Wonder Woman and Diana started fighting crime in an alternate costume . Artemis later died in battle with the White Magician -- thus , Hippolyta 's vision of a dying Wonder Woman did come true , albeit not of Diana as Wonder Woman . Diana once again became Wonder Woman , a request made by Artemis in her last seconds . Artemis would later return as Requiem . Prior to Artemis ' death , Hippolyta would admit to her daughter about her own part in Artemis ' death , which strained their relationship as Diana was unable to forgive her mother for sending another Amazon to her death knowingly for the sake of saving her own daughter . The demon Neron engaged Diana in battle and managed to kill her . The Olympian Gods granted Diana divinity and the role of the Goddess of Truth who started to reside in Olympus ; her mother Hippolyta then assumed the role of Wonder Woman and wore her own different incarnation of the costume . In Wonder Woman Vol 2 # 136 , Diana was banished from Olympus due to interfering in earthly matters ( as Diana was unable to simply watch over people 's misery on earth ) . She immediately returned to her duties as Wonder Woman , but ran into conflicts with her mother over her true place and role as Hippolyta seemed accustomed to her life in America . Their fight remained unsolved , as Hippolyta died during an intergalactic war . Themyscira was destroyed during the war , but was restored and reformed as a collection of floating islands . Circe later resurrected Hippolyta in Wonder Woman Vol 3 # 8 . The OMAC Project Main articles : Infinite Crisis and The OMAC Project One of the events that led to Infinite Crisis was of Wonder Woman killing the villain Maxwell Lord in Wonder Woman ( vol. 2 ) # 219 . Maxwell Lord was mind - controlling Superman , who as a result was near to killing Batman . Wonder Woman tried to stop Superman , Lord ( who was unable to mind control her ) made Superman see her as his enemy Doomsday trying to kill Lois Lane . Superman then attacked Wonder Woman , and a vicious battle ensued . Buying herself time by slicing Superman 's throat with her tiara , Wonder Woman caught Lord in her Lasso of Truth and demanded to know how to stop his control over Superman . As the lasso forced the wearer to speak only the truth , Lord told her that the only way to stop him was to kill him . Left with no choice , Wonder Woman snapped Lord 's neck and ended his control over Superman . Unknown to her , the entire scene was broadcast live around every channel in the world by Brother Eye . The viewers were not aware of the entire situation , and saw only Wonder Woman murdering a Justice League associate . Wonder Woman 's actions put her at odds with Batman and Superman , as they saw Wonder Woman as a cold - blooded killer , despite the fact that she saved their lives . One Year Later Main articles : One Year Later and Who is Wonder Woman ? At the end of Infinite Crisis , Wonder Woman temporarily retires from her costumed identity . Diana , once again using the alias Diana Prince , joins the Department of Metahuman Affairs . Donna Troy becomes the new Wonder Woman and is captured by Diana 's enemies . Diana then goes on a mission to rescue her sister , battling Circe and Hercules . Diana defeats the villains , freeing Donna and takes up the role of Wonder Woman again . Circe places a spell on Diana , which renders Diana into a normal , powerless human being when in the role of Diana Prince ; her powers come to her only when she is in the role of Wonder Woman . The Circle Main article : The Circle ( DC Comics ) The storyline `` The Circle '' was focused on the revelation of a failed assassination attempt on Diana when she was a baby , by four rogue Amazons . These Amazons -- Myrto , Charis , Philomela and Alkyone , collectively referred to as The Circle -- were Hippolyta 's personal guards and were extremely loyal and devoted to her . However , when Hippolyta decided to raise a daughter , The Circle was horrified and considered the baby ill - fate , one who would ruin their entire race . Thus , after Diana was sculpted out of clay and brought to life , The Circle decided to assassinate the baby . Their attempt was foiled however , and the four Amazons were imprisoned . After years , the Circle escaped their prisons with the help of Captain Nazi , and decided to accomplish their previously failed mission and kill Diana . Diana defeated Myrto , Charis , Philomela and then approached Alkyone , who runs off and succumbs to her death by falling into the ocean . The other three Amazons return to their prisons . Issue # 600 introduced Wonder Woman to an alternate time - line created by the Gods in which Themyscira had been destroyed and the Amazons scattered around the world . In this timeline , Diana is an orphan raised in New York who is learning to cope with her powers . The entire world has forgotten Wonder Woman 's existence and the main story of this run was of Diana trying to restore reality even though she does not properly remember it herself . Diana has no memories of her prior adventures as Wonder Woman , recollecting her memories in bits and pieces and receiving different abilities and resources ( such as the power of flight and her lasso ) during the progression of her adventure . A trio of Death Goddesses called The Morrigan acted as Wonder Woman 's main enemies . Diana ultimately defeats the evil goddesses and returns everything back to normal . 21st century ( edit ) The new 52 ( edit ) Main article : The New 52 In September 2011 , DC Comics relaunched its entire publication line , dubbing the event the New 52 . Among the major changes to the character , Wonder Woman now appears wearing a new costume similar to her older one , and has a completely new origin . In this new timeline , Wonder Woman is no longer a clay figure brought to life by the magic of the gods . Rather , she is the demigoddess daughter of Queen Hippolyta and Zeus : King of the Greek Gods . Her original origin is revealed as a cover story to explain Diana 's birth as a means to protect her from Hera 's wrath . Currently , Diana has taken on the role and title as the new `` God of War '' . The Greek messenger god , Hermes , entrusts Wonder Woman with the protection of Zola , a young woman , who is pregnant with Zeus 's child , from Hera , seething with jealousy and determined to kill the child . With the appearance of a bizarre , new , chalk - white enemy , the goddess Strife ( a reimagined version of Eris , the goddess of discord who had battled Wonder Woman in post-Crisis continuity ) , Wonder Woman discovers she , herself , is the natural - born daughter of Hippolyta and Zeus , who , after a violent clash , became lovers . Hippolyta revealed Diana 's earlier origin story to be a lie , spread amongst the Amazons to protect Diana from the wrath of Hera , who is known for hunting and killing several illegitimate offspring of Zeus . The first of these half - mortal siblings to reveal himself to Wonder Woman was her older half - brother , Lennox Sandsmark , who could transform himself into living , marble - like stone and , before his death , was revealed to be the father of Wonder Girl ( Cassie Sandsmark ) . His killer , the First Born , the eldest progeny of Zeus , would become Wonder Woman 's first major super-villain of the New 52 . The story then focuses on Wonder Woman 's quest to rescue Zola from Hades , who had abducted her and taken her to Hell at the end of the sixth issue of the series . The male children of the Amazons are introduced and Diana learns about the birth of her `` brothers '' -- the Amazons used to infrequently invade ships coming near their island and force themselves on the sailors , before killing them . After nine months , the birth of the resulting female children was highly celebrated and they were inducted into the ranks of the Amazons while the male children were rejected . In order to save the male children from being drowned to death by the Amazons , Hephaestus traded weapons to the Amazons in exchange for them . After saving Zola from Hades , Wonder Woman tries to protect her further from Apollo , as it is prophesied that one of Zeus ' children will be his downfall whom Apollo considers to be Zola 's child . Wonder Woman receives the power of flight by one of Hermes ' feathers piercing her thigh and Zola 's baby is stolen by Hermes at the end and given to Demeter . The issue 's last page shows a dark and mysterious man rising from the snow , taking a helmet and disappearing . This man is later revealed to be Zeus ' first son , known only as First Born , who seeks to rule over Olympus and the rest of the world , and take Diana as his bride . A stand - alone # 0 issue was released in September which explored Diana 's childhood and her tutelage under Ares , the God of War , now known most often as simply ' War ' . The issue was narrated in the style of a typical Silver Age comic book and saw Diana in her childhood years . The main plot of the issue was Diana training under War as he thought of her being an extraordinary girl with immense potential . The issue ultimately concluded with Diana learning and experiencing the importance of mercy , which she first learned when War showed it to her during their sparring . This later translated into her refusal to kill the Minotaur -- a task given to her by War ; however , this show of mercy makes her a failure in War 's eyes , which was actually his fault since he inadvertently `` taught '' her mercy and affection as his protege . Later in the series , Wonder Woman is forced to kill War during a conflict with her evil half - brother , Zeus ' son First Born , and herself becomes the God of War . After the Amazons are restored , she rules over them both as a warrior queen and God of War , as the ongoing conflict with First Born escalates . At the end of Azzarello 's run , as part of a final conflict , Wonder Woman kills First Born , while Zeke is revealed to have been Zeus ' plan for resurrection , with Zola revealed to have been a mortal shell for the goddess Athena , who gave birth to Zeus just as he once did to her . Wonder Woman pleads with Athena not to allow the Zola personality , whom she has grown to love as a friend , die with Athena 's awakening . Athena leaves the site in animal form , leaving a stunned and confused Zola behind with Wonder Woman . Wonder Woman appears as one of the lead characters in the Justice League title written by Geoff Johns and drawn by Jim Lee that was launched in 2011 as part of the New 52 . In August 2012 , she and Superman shared a kiss in Justice League Vol 2 # 12 , which has since developed into a romantic relationship . DC launched a Superman / Wonder Woman series that debuted in late 2013 , which focuses both the threats they face together , and on their romance as a `` Power Couple '' . After the events of Convergence , Wonder Woman would don a new costume . She would also face Donna Troy , who is now reimagined as a villanous doppellganger created by a vengeful Amazon elder , not only to physically defeat Wonder Woman but also to outmaneuver her in Themyscirian politics . Earth 2 ( edit ) The New 52 version of Earth 2 was introduced in Earth 2 # 1 ( 2012 ) . In that issue , the Earth 2 Wonder Woman is introduced via flashback . She , along with Superman and Batman , are depicted dying in battle with forces from Apokolips five years in the past . This Wonder Woman worshiped the deities of Roman mythology as opposed to the Greek ; the Roman gods perish as a result of the conflict . An earlier version of the Earth - 2 Wonder Woman , prior to the Apokoliptian invasion , is seen in the comic book Batman / Superman , where she is seen riding a pegasus . In Earth 2 # 8 ( 2013 ) , Wonder Woman 's adult daughter , Fury , is introduced . She is loyal to the Apokoliptian Steppenwolf . DC Rebirth ( edit ) Main article : DC Rebirth This article needs to be updated . Please update this article to reflect recent events or newly available information . ( November 2017 ) In 2016 , DC Comics started DC Rebirth , a relaunch of its entire line of comic books . Following the events of the Darkseid War , Wonder Woman is told by the dying Myrina Black that on the night of Diana 's birth , Hippolyta gave birth to a twin child . This child was revealed to be male , known as Jason , and is said to be incredibly powerful . Wonder Woman makes it her mission to find him . At the same time , she finds the truth behind her origin and history is now cluttered , as she remembers two versions : the pre-Flashpoint one , and the New 52 rendition . She can not locate Themiscyra or her fellow Amazons and the Lasso of Truth does not work for her anymore . The `` Year One '' storyline retells Diana 's origin growing up on Themyscira . She lives an idyllic life and harbors interest for the outside world , and the first connection to it comes in the form of Steve Trevor , who crashes on the island and is the sole survivor . A contest is held to determine which Amazon is the best candidate to take Steve home , with Diana volunteering despite knowing the cost to leave the island is to never return . Diana wins the contest and departs with Steve . Once arriving in America , Diana is taken into custody by the government to discern her origins . She meets Etta Candy and Barbara Ann Minerva along the way . While incarcerated Diana is visited by the gods in animal form and bestow upon her powers of strength , speed , agility , durability , and flight . She discovers Ares , the god of war , is working to destroy humanity . Accepting her new role in Man 's World , Diana , with the help of the gods in animal form , subdues Ares with the lasso . Now called Wonder Woman , Diana becomes one of the world 's greatest heroes . The `` Lies '' story arc runs parallel and explores Diana 's search . No longer able to get into Mount Olympus , Diana tracks down Barbara Ann Minerva , the Cheetah , to get help . Cheetah agrees to help in exchange for Diana aiding her in killing the god Urzkartaga and end Minerva 's curse . The pair battle their way through Urzkartaga 's minions , the Bouda , and defeat Andres Cadulo , a worshiper of Urzkartaga that planned to sacrifice Steve Trevor to the plant god . Once reverted to her human form , Minerva agreed to help Wonder Woman find her way back to Paradise Island . During this time Wonder Woman reconnects with Steve . Minerva eventually realizes Paradise Island is an embodiment of emotion instead of a physical place , so Wonder Woman and Steve head out to find the island . They succeed and Wonder Woman is greeted by her mother and sisters , though Steve senses something is wrong . Wonder Woman comes to realize nothing is as she remembers and , upon using the Lasso of Truth , discovers everything she thought she knew was a lie : she never really returned to Themyscira after departing with Steve years earlier . The revelation shatters Diana 's mind and she is left nearly insane . Veronica Cale , a businesswoman who has been desiring to find Themyscira and the leader of Godwatch , sends a military group called Poison after her , but Diana 's state has left her vulnerable and oblivious to the danger she and Steve are in . Steve wards them off long enough for them to be rescued , and reluctantly places Diana in a mental hospital so she can get help . While there she comes to grasp the reality she thought she knew was false , eventually coming out of her stupor and able to rejoin the others in tracking down Veronica Cale , who is trying to find Themyscira . Cultural impact ( edit ) Main article : Cultural impact of Wonder Woman In other media ( edit ) Main article : Wonder Woman in other media Since her comic book debut in December 1941 , Wonder Woman has appeared in a number of adaptations . These formats include television shows , video games , and films . Television ( edit ) Wonder Woman has made multiple appearances in television , including Wonder Woman , and most notably the 1970s live - action show Wonder Woman . Film ( edit ) The character has been featured in direct - to - DVD animated films and CGI theatrical releases , such as The Lego Movie ( 2014 ) . Within the live - action DC Extended Universe films , Wonder Woman debuted in Batman v Superman : Dawn of Justice ( 2016 ) and was featured as the main character in Wonder Woman ( 2017 ) . In November 2017 , she appeared in the DCEU release Justice League . The 2017 film , Professor Marston & the Wonder Women , tells the story of the polygamous relationship between William Moulton Marston , his wife and fellow psychologist Elizabeth Holloway Marston , and their lover Olive Byrne ; the invention of the lie detector , and how they inspired the creation of the Wonder Woman comic . Literature ( edit ) Main article : Wonder Woman in literature Critical reception and legacy ( edit ) As a compassionate warrior with god - like strength , Wonder Woman preferred peace and love to war and violence , a contradiction that has long made her a symbol of female empowerment , and the center of controversy . The early Wonder Woman stories featured an abundant amount of bondage portrayals , which had critics worried . Although created to be a positive role - model and a strong female character for girls and boys , Wonder Woman has had to deal with the misogyny that was commonplace in comic book industry for decades . For example , Wonder Woman was a founding member of the Justice Society of America . This roster included the original Flash and Green Lantern . Wonder Woman was an experienced leader and easily the most powerful of them all ; yet was rendered a secretary . This would also be accompanied with her losing her powers or getting captured on most Justice League adventures . During the ' 50s and ' 60s , comic writers regularly made Wonder Woman love sick over Steve Trevor , a Major in the United States Army . Stories frequently featured Wonder Woman hoping or imagining what it would be like to marry Steve Trevor . Wonder Woman was named the 20th greatest comic book character by Empire magazine . She was ranked sixth in Comics Buyer 's Guide 's `` 100 Sexiest Women in Comics '' list . In May 2011 , Wonder Woman placed fifth on IGN 's Top 100 Comic Book Heroes of All Time . Not all reaction to Wonder Woman has been positive . In the controversial Seduction of the Innocent , psychiatrist Fredric Wertham claimed Wonder Woman 's strength and independence made her a lesbian in a condemning way . Feminist icon ( edit ) Feminist icon Gloria Steinem , founder of Ms. magazine , was responsible for the return of Wonder Woman 's original abilities . Offended that the most famous female superhero had been depowered into a boyfriend - obsessed damsel in distress , Steinem placed Wonder Woman ( in costume ) on the cover of the first issue of Ms. ( 1972 ) -- Warner Communications , DC Comics ' owner , was an investor -- which also contained an appreciative essay about the character . Wonder Woman 's powers and traditional costume were restored in issue # 204 ( January -- February 1973 ) . In 1972 , just months after the groundbreaking US Supreme Court decision Roe v. Wade , science fiction author Samuel R. Delany had planned a story for Ms. that culminated in a plainsclothes Wonder Woman protecting an abortion clinic . However , Steinem disapproved of Wonder Woman being out of costume , and the controversial story line never happened . The original significance of Wonder Woman had the intentions of influencing many women of all ages , displaying the physical and mental strengths , values , and ethical attributes that not only men acquire . `` Wonder Woman symbolizes many of the values of the women 's culture that feminists are now trying to introduce into the mainstream : strength and self - reliance for women ; sisterhood and mutual support among women ; peacefulness and esteem for human life ; a diminishment both of ' masculine ' aggression and of the belief that violence is the only way of solving conflicts , '' Steinem wrote at the time . The origin of Wonder Woman and the psychological reasoning behind why William Morton Marston created her in the way he did illustrated Marston 's educational , ethical , and moral values . `` William Marston intended her to be a feminist character , showing young boys the illimitable possibilities of a woman who could be considered just as strong as the famed Superman . '' Gladys L. Knight explains the impact and influences that superheroes have on us in society ranging from the 1870s until the present day . Marc DiPaolo introduces us to Wonder Woman 's creator and history and he demonstrates how she is a `` WWII veteran , a feminist icon , and a sex symbol '' all throughout her `` career '' . Wonder Woman stars in multiple films and is most commonly known for her red , white and blue one piece , and her tall , sexy assertiveness . What many people do n't know is that she is a big part of history in the comic and superhero world because of how her character influences real life people of all ages , sexes , ethnicities , and races . `` Marston created the comic book character Wonder Woman to be both strong and sexy , as a means of encouraging woman to emulate her unapologetic assertiveness . '' Continuing her legacy as an influential feminist icon , in 2015 Wonder Woman became the first superhero to officiate a same - sex wedding in a comic series . On October 21 , 2016 , the United Nations controversially named Wonder Woman a UN Honorary Ambassador for the Empowerment of Women and Girls in a ceremony attended by Under - Secretary - General for Communications and Public Information Cristina Gallach and by actors Lynda Carter and Gal Gadot . The character was dropped from the role two months later after a petition against the appointment stated Wonder Woman was `` not culturally ... sensitive '' and it was `` alarming that the United Nations would consider using a character with an overtly sexualized image '' . Pacifist icon ( edit ) Gloria Steinem , editor for Ms. Magazine and a big supporter of Wonder Woman , stated `` ... ( Marston ) had invented Wonder Woman as a heroine for little girls , and also as a conscious alternative to the violence of comic books for boys . '' Badower described a near - international incident ( involving an unnamed Russian general rolling dozens of tanks and munitions through a shady mountain pass ) as an outstanding example for standing up to bullies . `` She ends up deflecting a bullet back and disarming the general , '' he says , adding that `` she does n't actually do anything violent in the story . I just think that Wonder Woman is smarter than that . '' Nick Pumphrey stated that Wonder Woman stands as a non-violent beacon of hope and inspiration for women and men . Grant Morrison stated `` I sat down and I thought , ' I do n't want to do this warrior woman thing . ' I can understand why they 're doing it , I get all that , but that 's not what ( Wonder Woman creator ) William Marston wanted , that 's not what he wanted at all ! His original concept for Wonder Woman was an answer to comics that he thought were filled with images of blood - curdling masculinity , and you see the latest shots of Gal Gadot in the costume , and it 's all sword and shield and her snarling at the camera . Marston 's Diana was a doctor , a healer , a scientist . '' Lgbt icon ( edit ) William Marston 's earliest works were notorious for containing `` bondage and sapphic - undertones '' subtext . Fredric Wertham 's Seduction of the Innocent referred to her as the `` lesbian counterpart to Batman '' ( whom he also identified as a homosexual ) . After William Marston 's death in 1947 , DC Comics downplayed her sexuality ; the sexual imagery disappeared from the `` Wonder Woman '' comic , along with Wonder Woman 's super powers . During the Comics Code Authority - decades since , subsequent comic book writers and artists did n't do much more than hint at Wonder Woman 's erotic legacy . Grant Morrison 's 2016 comic Wonder Woman : Earth One , which exists parallel to the current DC comics Rebirth canon , Diana is depicted being kissed on her right cheek by a blonde woman who has put her left arm around Diana . Wonder Woman feels she need not be `` labelled sexually '' , that she `` loves people for who they are '' and is `` just herself '' . Coming from a society that was only populated by women , `` lesbian '' in ( the world 's ) eyes may have been `` straight '' for them . `` Her culture is completely free from the shackles of heteronormativity in the first place so she would n't even have any ' concept ' of gender roles in sex . '' Wonder Woman is suggested as being queer or bisexual , as she and another Amazon , Io , had reciprocal feelings for each other . In 2016 , Sensation Comics featured Wonder Woman officiating a same - sex wedding ( Issue # 48 ) drawn by Australian illustrator Jason Badower . `` My country is all women . To us , it 's not ' gay ' marriage . It 's just marriage '' , she states to Superman . Inspired by the June Supreme Court ruling that established marriage equality in all 50 United States , Badower says DC Comics was `` fantastic '' about his idea for the issue . In an interview with The Sydney Morning Herald , he said his editor `` Was like ' great , I love it ! Let 's do it . ' It was almost anticlimactic . '' `` Diana 's mother , the queen , at the very least authorized or in some cases officiated these weddings , '' Badower says . `` It just seems more like a royal duty Diana would take on , that she would do for people that would appreciate it . '' Wonder Woman 's advocacy for gay rights was taken a step further in September 2016 , when comic book writer Greg Rucka announced that she is canonically bisexual , according to her rebooted Rebirth origin . Rucka stated that in his opinion , she `` has to be '' queer and has `` obviously '' had same - sex relationships on an island surrounded by beautiful women . This follows the way Wonder Woman was written in the alternate continuity or non-canon Earth One by Grant Morrison , and fellow Wonder Woman writer Gail Simone staunchly supported Rucka 's statement . Surprised at the amount of backlash from her fanbase , Rucka responded to `` haters '' that consensual sex with women is just as important to Wonder Woman as the Truth is to Superman . Wonder Woman actress Gal Gadot reacted positively to Diana 's rebooted orientation , and agreed her sexuality was impacted by growing up in the women - only Themyscira .

The New 52 put an end to that injustice , with Brian Azzarello and Cliff Chiang spearheading one of the best books DC is putting out .

Above : A page from the Atharvaveda . The Vedas ( / ˈveɪdəz / ; Sanskrit : वेद veda , `` knowledge '' ) are a large body of knowledge texts originating in the ancient Indian subcontinent . Composed in Vedic Sanskrit , the texts constitute the oldest layer of Sanskrit literature and the oldest scriptures of Hinduism . Hindus consider the Vedas to be apauruṣeya , which means `` not of a man , superhuman '' and `` impersonal , authorless '' . Vedas are also called śruti ( `` what is heard '' ) literature , distinguishing them from other religious texts , which are called smṛti ( `` what is remembered '' ) . The Veda , for orthodox Indian theologians , are considered revelations seen by ancient sages after intense meditation , and texts that have been more carefully preserved since ancient times . In the Hindu Epic the Mahabharata , the creation of Vedas is credited to Brahma . The Vedic hymns themselves assert that they were skillfully created by Rishis ( sages ) , after inspired creativity , just as a carpenter builds a chariot . There are four Vedas : the Rigveda , the Yajurveda , the Samaveda and the Atharvaveda . Each Veda has been subclassified into four major text types -- the Samhitas ( mantras and benedictions ) , the Aranyakas ( text on rituals , ceremonies , sacrifices and symbolic - sacrifices ) , the Brahmanas ( commentaries on rituals , ceremonies and sacrifices ) , and the Upanishads ( texts discussing meditation , philosophy and spiritual knowledge ) . Some scholars add a fifth category -- the Upasanas ( worship ) . The various Indian philosophies and denominations have taken differing positions on the Vedas . Schools of Indian philosophy which cite the Vedas as their scriptural authority are classified as `` orthodox '' ( āstika ) . Other śramaṇa traditions , such as Lokayata , Carvaka , Ajivika , Buddhism and Jainism , which did not regard the Vedas as authorities , are referred to as `` heterodox '' or `` non-orthodox '' ( nāstika ) schools . Despite their differences , just like the texts of the śramaṇa traditions , the layers of texts in the Vedas discuss similar ideas and concepts .

This is reconstructed as being derived from the Proto - Indo - European root * u̯eid - , meaning `` see '' or `` know '' . The noun is from Proto - Indo - European * u̯eidos , cognate to Greek ( ϝ ) εἶδος `` aspect '' , `` form '' . Not to be confused is the homonymous 1st and 3rd person singular perfect tense véda , cognate to Greek ( ϝ ) οἶδα ( w ) oida `` I know '' . Root cognates are Greek ἰδέα , English wit , etc. , Latin videō `` I see '' , etc . The Sanskrit term veda as a common noun means `` knowledge '' . The term in some contexts , such as hymn 10.93. 11 of the Rigveda , means `` obtaining or finding wealth , property '' , while in some others it means `` a bunch of grass together '' as in a broom or for ritual fire . A related word Vedena appears in hymn 8.19. 5 of the Rigveda . It was translated by Ralph T.H. Griffith as `` ritual lore '' , as `` studying the Veda '' by the 14th century Indian scholar Sayana , as `` bundle of grass '' by Max Müller , and as `` with the Veda '' by H.H. Wilson . Vedas are called Maṛai or Vaymoli in parts of South India . Marai literally means `` hidden , a secret , mystery '' . In some south Indian communities such as Iyengars , the word Veda includes the Tamil writings of the Alvar saints , such as Divya Prabandham , for example Tiruvaymoli . Chronology Main article : Vedic period The Vedas are among the oldest sacred texts . The Samhitas date to roughly 1700 -- 1100 BC , and the `` circum - Vedic '' texts , as well as the redaction of the Samhitas , date to c. 1000 - 500 BC , resulting in a Vedic period , spanning the mid 2nd to mid 1st millennium BC , or the Late Bronze Age and the Iron Age . The Vedic period reaches its peak only after the composition of the mantra texts , with the establishment of the various shakhas all over Northern India which annotated the mantra samhitas with Brahmana discussions of their meaning , and reaches its end in the age of Buddha and Panini and the rise of the Mahajanapadas ( archaeologically , Northern Black Polished Ware ) . Michael Witzel gives a time span of c. 1500 to c. 500 - 400 BC . Witzel makes special reference to the Near Eastern Mitanni material of the 14th century BC the only epigraphic record of Indo - Aryan contemporary to the Rigvedic period . He gives 150 BC ( Patañjali ) as a terminus ante quem for all Vedic Sanskrit literature , and 1200 BC ( the early Iron Age ) as terminus post quem for the Atharvaveda . Transmission of texts in the Vedic period was by oral tradition , preserved with precision with the help of elaborate mnemonic techniques . A literary tradition is traceable in post-Vedic times , after the rise of Buddhism in the Maurya period , perhaps earliest in the Kanva recension of the Yajurveda about the 1st century BC ; however oral tradition of transmission remained active . Witzel suggests the possibility of written Vedic texts towards the end of 1st millennium BCE . Some scholars such as Jack Goody state that `` the Vedas are not the product of an oral society '' , basing this view by comparing inconsistencies in the transmitted versions of literature from various oral societies such as the Greek , Serbia and other cultures , then noting that the Vedic literature is too consistent and vast to have been composed and transmitted orally across generations , without being written down . However , adds Goody , the Vedic texts likely involved both a written and oral tradition , calling it a `` parallel products of a literate society '' . Due to the ephemeral nature of the manuscript material ( birch bark or palm leaves ) , surviving manuscripts rarely surpass an age of a few hundred years . The Sampurnanand Sanskrit University has a Rigveda manuscript from the 14th century ; however , there are a number of older Veda manuscripts in Nepal that are dated from the 11th century onwards . Ancient universities The Vedas , Vedic rituals and its ancillary sciences called the Vedangas , were part of the curriculum at ancient universities such as at Taxila , Nalanda and Vikramashila . Categories of Vedic texts Rigveda manuscript in Devanagari The term `` Vedic texts '' is used in two distinct meanings : Texts composed in Vedic Sanskrit during the Vedic period ( Iron Age India ) Any text considered as `` connected to the Vedas '' or a `` corollary of the Vedas '' Vedic Sanskrit corpus The corpus of Vedic Sanskrit texts includes : The Samhitas ( Sanskrit saṃhitā , `` collection '' ) , are collections of metric texts ( `` mantras '' ) . There are four `` Vedic '' Samhitas : the Rig - Veda , Sama - Veda , Yajur - Veda , and Atharva - Veda , most of which are available in several recensions ( śākhā ) . In some contexts , the term Veda is used to refer to these Samhitas . This is the oldest layer of Vedic texts , apart from the Rigvedic hymns , which were probably essentially complete by 1200 BC , dating to c. the 12th to 10th centuries BC . The complete corpus of Vedic mantras as collected in Bloomfield 's Vedic Concordance ( 1907 ) consists of some 89,000 padas ( metrical feet ) , of which 72,000 occur in the four Samhitas . The Brahmanas are prose texts that comment and explain the solemn rituals as well as expound on their meaning and many connected themes . Each of the Brahmanas is associated with one of the Samhitas or its recensions . The Brahmanas may either form separate texts or can be partly integrated into the text of the Samhitas . They may also include the Aranyakas and Upanishads . The Aranyakas , `` wilderness texts '' or `` forest treaties '' , were composed by people who meditated in the woods as recluses and are the third part of the Vedas . The texts contain discussions and interpretations of ceremonies , from ritualistic to symbolic meta - ritualistic points of view . It is frequently read in secondary literature . Older Mukhya Upanishads ( Bṛhadāraṇyaka , Chandogya , Kaṭha , Kena , Aitareya , and others ) . The Vedas ( sruti ) are different from Vedic era texts such as Shrauta Sutras and Gryha Sutras , which are smriti texts . Together , the Vedas and these Sutras form part of the Vedic Sanskrit corpus . While production of Brahmanas and Aranyakas ceased with the end of the Vedic period , additional Upanishads were composed after the end of the Vedic period . The Brahmanas , Aranyakas , and Upanishads , among other things , interpret and discuss the Samhitas in philosophical and metaphorical ways to explore abstract concepts such as the Absolute ( Brahman ) , and the soul or the self ( Atman ) , introducing Vedanta philosophy , one of the major trends of later Hinduism . In other parts , they show evolution of ideas , such as from actual sacrifice to symbolic sacrifice , and of spirituality in the Upanishads . This has inspired later Hindu scholars such as Adi Shankara to classify each Veda into karma - kanda ( कर्म खण्ड , action / ritual - related sections ) and jnana - kanda ( ज्ञान खण्ड , knowledge / spirituality - related sections ) . Shruti literature Main article : Śruti The texts considered `` Vedic '' in the sense of `` corollaries of the Vedas '' is less clearly defined , and may include numerous post-Vedic texts such as the later Upanishads and the Sutra literature . Texts not considered to be shruti are known as smriti ( Sanskrit : smṛti ; `` the remembered '' ) , or texts of remembered traditions . This indigenous system of categorization was adopted by Max Müller and , while it is subject to some debate , it is still widely used . As Axel Michaels explains : These classifications are often not tenable for linguistic and formal reasons : There is not only one collection at any one time , but rather several handed down in separate Vedic schools ; Upanişads ... are sometimes not to be distinguished from Āraṇyakas ... ; Brāhmaṇas contain older strata of language attributed to the Saṃhitās ; there are various dialects and locally prominent traditions of the Vedic schools . Nevertheless , it is advisable to stick to the division adopted by Max Müller because it follows the Indian tradition , conveys the historical sequence fairly accurately , and underlies the current editions , translations , and monographs on Vedic literature . '' The Upanishads are largely philosophical works , some in dialogue form . They are the foundation of Hindu philosophical thought and its diverse traditions . Of the Vedic corpus , they alone are widely known , and the central ideas of the Upanishads are at the spiritual core of Hindus . Vedic schools or recensions Main article : Shakha The four Vedas were transmitted in various śākhā s ( branches , schools ) . Each school likely represented an ancient community of a particular area , or kingdom . Each school followed its own canon . Multiple recensions are known for each of the Vedas . Thus , states Witzel as well as Renou , in the 2nd millennium BC , there was likely no canon of one broadly accepted Vedic texts , no Vedic `` Scripture '' , but only a canon of various texts accepted by each school . Some of these texts have survived , most lost or yet to be found . Rigveda that survives in modern times , for example , is in only one extremely well preserved school of Śåkalya , from a region called Videha , in modern north Bihar , south of Nepal . The Vedic canon in its entirety consists of texts from all the various Vedic schools taken together . Each of the four Vedas were shared by the numerous schools , but revised , interpolated and adapted locally , in and after the Vedic period , giving rise to various recensions of the text . Some texts were revised into the modern era , raising significant debate on parts of the text which are believed to have been corrupted at a later date . The Vedas each have an Index or Anukramani , the principal work of this kind being the general Index or Sarvānukramaṇī . Prodigious energy was expended by ancient Indian culture in ensuring that these texts were transmitted from generation to generation with inordinate fidelity . For example , memorization of the sacred Vedas included up to eleven forms of recitation of the same text . The texts were subsequently `` proof - read '' by comparing the different recited versions . Forms of recitation included the jaṭā - pāṭha ( literally `` mesh recitation '' ) in which every two adjacent words in the text were first recited in their original order , then repeated in the reverse order , and finally repeated in the original order . That these methods have been effective , is testified to by the preservation of the most ancient Indian religious text , the Rigveda , as redacted into a single text during the Brahmana period , without any variant readings within that school . The Vedas were likely written down for the first time around 500 BC . However , all printed editions of the Vedas that survive in the modern times are likely the version existing in about the 16th century AD .

The Rigveda is the oldest work , which Witzel states are probably from the period of 1900 to 1100 BC . Witzel , also notes that it is the Vedic period itself , where incipient lists divide the Vedic texts into three ( trayī ) or four branches : Rig , Yajur , Sama and Atharva . Each Veda has been subclassified into four major text types -- the Samhitas ( mantras and benedictions ) , the Aranyakas ( text on rituals , ceremonies such as newborn baby 's rites of passage , coming of age , marriages , retirement and cremation , sacrifices and symbolic - sacrifices ) , the Brahmanas ( commentaries on rituals , ceremonies and sacrifices ) , and the Upanishads ( text discussing meditation , philosophy and spiritual knowledge ) . The Upasanas ( short ritual worship - related sections ) are considered by some scholars as the fifth part . Witzel notes that the rituals , rites and ceremonies described in these ancient texts reconstruct to a large degree the Indo - European marriage rituals observed in a region spanning the Indian subcontinent , Persia and the European area , and some greater details are found in the Vedic era texts such as the Grhya Sūtras . Only one version of the Rigveda is known to have survived into the modern era . Several different versions of the Sama Veda and the Atharva Veda are known , and many different versions of the Yajur Veda have been found in different parts of South Asia . Rigveda Main article : Rigveda Nasadiya Sukta ( Hymn of non-Eternity ) : Who really knows ? Who can here proclaim it ? Whence , whence this creation sprang ? Gods came later , after the creation of this universe . Who then knows whence it has arisen ? Whether God 's will created it , or whether He was mute ; Only He who is its overseer in highest heaven knows , He only knows , or perhaps He does not know . -- Rig Veda 10.129. 6 - 7 The Rigveda Samhita is the oldest extant Indic text . It is a collection of 1,028 Vedic Sanskrit hymns and 10,600 verses in all , organized into ten books ( Sanskrit : mandalas ) . The hymns are dedicated to Rigvedic deities . The books were composed by poets from different priestly groups over a period of several centuries from roughly the second half of the 2nd millennium BC ( the early Vedic period ) , starting with the Punjab ( Sapta Sindhu ) region of the northwest Indian subcontinent . The Rigveda is structured based on clear principles -- the Veda begins with a small book addressed to Agni , Indra , and other gods , all arranged according to decreasing total number of hymns in each deity collection ; for each deity series , the hymns progress from longer to shorter ones , but the number of hymns per book increases . Finally , the meter too is systematically arranged from jagati and tristubh to anustubh and gayatri as the text progresses . In terms of substance , the nature of hymns shift from praise of deities in early books to Nasadiya Sukta with questions such as , `` what is the origin of the universe ? , do even gods know the answer ? '' , the virtue of Dāna ( charity ) in society , and other metaphysical issues in its hymns . There are similarities between the mythology , rituals and linguistics in Rigveda and those found in ancient central Asia , Iranian and Hindukush ( Afghanistan ) regions . Samaveda Main article : Samaveda The Samaveda Samhita consists of 1549 stanzas , taken almost entirely ( except for 75 mantras ) from the Rigveda . The Samaveda samhita has two major parts . The first part includes four melody collections ( gāna , गान ) and the second part three verse `` books '' ( ārcika , आर्चिक ) . A melody in the song books corresponds to a verse in the arcika books . Just as in the Rigveda , the early sections of Samaveda typically begin with hymns to Agni and Indra but shift to the abstract . Their meters shift also in a descending order . The songs in the later sections of the Samaveda have the least deviation from the hymns derived from the Rigveda . In the Samaveda , some of the Rigvedic verses are repeated . Including repetitions , there are a total of 1875 verses numbered in the Samaveda recension translated by Griffith . Two major recensions have survived , the Kauthuma / Ranayaniya and the Jaiminiya . Its purpose was liturgical , and they were the repertoire of the udgātṛ or `` singer '' priests . Yajurveda Main article : Yajurveda The Yajurveda Samhita consists of prose mantras . It is a compilation of ritual offering formulas that were said by a priest while an individual performed ritual actions such as those before the yajna fire . The earliest and most ancient layer of Yajurveda samhita includes about 1,875 verses , that are distinct yet borrow and build upon the foundation of verses in Rigveda . Unlike the Samaveda which is almost entirely based on Rigveda mantras and structured as songs , the Yajurveda samhitas are in prose and linguistically , they are different from earlier Vedic texts . The Yajur Veda has been the primary source of information about sacrifices during Vedic times and associated rituals . There are two major groups of texts in this Veda : the `` Black '' ( Krishna ) and the `` White '' ( Shukla ) . The term `` black '' implies `` the un-arranged , motley collection '' of verses in Yajurveda , in contrast to the `` white '' ( well arranged ) Yajurveda . The White Yajurveda separates the Samhita from its Brahmana ( the Shatapatha Brahmana ) , the Black Yajurveda intersperses the Samhita with Brahmana commentary . Of the Black Yajurveda , texts from four major schools have survived ( Maitrayani , Katha , Kapisthala - Katha , Taittiriya ) , while of the White Yajurveda , two ( Kanva and Madhyandina ) . The youngest layer of Yajurveda text is not related to rituals nor sacrifice , it includes the largest collection of primary Upanishads , influential to various schools of Hindu philosophy . Atharvaveda Main article : Atharvaveda The Artharvaveda Samhita is the text ' belonging to the Atharvan and Angirasa poets . It has about 760 hymns , and about 160 of the hymns are in common with the Rigveda . Most of the verses are metrical , but some sections are in prose . Two different versions of the text -- the Paippalāda and the Śaunakīya -- have survived into the modern times . The Atharvaveda was not considered as a Veda in the Vedic era , and was accepted as a Veda in late 1st millennium BC . It was compiled last , probably around 900 BC , although some of its material may go back to the time of the Rigveda , or earlier . The Atharvaveda is sometimes called the `` Veda of magical formulas '' , an epithet declared to be incorrect by other scholars . The Samhita layer of the text likely represents a developing 2nd millennium BC tradition of magico - religious rites to address superstitious anxiety , spells to remove maladies believed to be caused by demons , and herbs - and nature - derived potions as medicine . The text , states Kenneth Zysk , is one of oldest surviving record of the evolutionary practices in religious medicine and reveals the `` earliest forms of folk healing of Indo - European antiquity '' . Many books of the Atharvaveda Samhita are dedicated to rituals without magic , such as to philosophical speculations and to theosophy . The Atharva veda has been a primary source for information about Vedic culture , the customs and beliefs , the aspirations and frustrations of everyday Vedic life , as well as those associated with kings and governance . The text also includes hymns dealing with the two major rituals of passage -- marriage and cremation . The Atharva Veda also dedicates significant portion of the text asking the meaning of a ritual . Embedded Vedic texts Brahmanas Further information : Brahmanas The Brahmanas are commentaries , explanation of proper methods and meaning of Vedic Samhita rituals in the four Vedas . They also incorporate myths , legends and in some cases philosophy . Each regional Vedic shakha ( school ) has its own operating manual - like Brahmana text , most of which have been lost . A total of 19 Brahmana texts have survived into modern times : two associated with the Rigveda , six with the Yajurveda , ten with the Samaveda and one with the Atharvaveda . The oldest dated to about 900 BC , while the youngest Brahmanas ( such as the Shatapatha Brahmana ) , were complete by about 700 BC . According to Jan Gonda , the final codification of the Brahmanas took place in pre-Buddhist times ( ca . 600 BC ) . The substance of the Brahmana text varies with each Veda . For example , the first chapter of the Chandogya Brahmana , one of the oldest Brahmanas , includes eight ritual suktas ( hymns ) for the ceremony of marriage and rituals at the birth of a child . The first hymn is a recitation that accompanies offering a Yajna oblation to Agni ( fire ) on the occasion of a marriage , and the hymn prays for prosperity of the couple getting married . The second hymn wishes for their long life , kind relatives , and a numerous progeny . The third hymn is a mutual marriage pledge , between the bride and groom , by which the two bind themselves to each other . The sixth through last hymns of the first chapter in Chandogya Brahmana are ritual celebrations on the birth of a child and wishes for health , wealth , and prosperity with a profusion of cows and artha . However , these verses are incomplete expositions , and their complete context emerges only with the Samhita layer of text . Aranyakas and Upanishads Further information : Vedanta , Upanishads , and Aranyakas The Aranyakas layer of the Vedas include rituals , discussion of symbolic meta - rituals , as well as philosophical speculations . Aranyakas , however , neither are homogeneous in content nor in structure . They are a medley of instructions and ideas , and some include chapters of Upanishads within them . Two theories have been proposed on the origin of the word Aranyakas . One theory holds that these texts were meant to be studied in a forest , while the other holds that the name came from these being the manuals of allegorical interpretation of sacrifices , for those in Vanaprastha ( retired , forest - dwelling ) stage of their life , according to the historic age - based Ashrama system of human life . The Upanishads reflect the last composed layer of texts in the Vedas . They are commonly referred to as Vedānta , variously interpreted to mean either the `` last chapters , parts of the Vedas '' or `` the object , the highest purpose of the Veda '' . The concepts of Brahman ( Ultimate Reality ) and Ātman ( Soul , Self ) are central ideas in all the Upanishads , and `` Know your Ātman '' their thematic focus . The Upanishads are the foundation of Hindu philosophical thought and its diverse traditions . Of the Vedic corpus , they alone are widely known , and the central ideas of the Upanishads have influenced the diverse traditions of Hinduism . Aranyakas are sometimes identified as karma - kanda ( ritualistic section ) , while the Upanishads are identified as jnana - kanda ( spirituality section ) . In an alternate classification , the early part of Vedas are called Samhitas and the commentary are called the Brahmanas which together are identified as the ceremonial karma - kanda , while Aranyakas and Upanishads are referred to as the jnana - kanda . Post-Vedic literature Vedanga Main article : Vedanga The Vedangas developed towards the end of the vedic period , around or after the middle of the 1st millennium BC . These auxiliary fields of Vedic studies emerged because the language of the Vedas , composed centuries earlier , became too archaic to the people of that time . The Vedangas were sciences that focused on helping understand and interpret the Vedas that had been composed many centuries earlier . The six subjects of Vedanga are phonetics ( Śikṣā ) , poetic meter ( Chandas ) , grammar ( Vyākaraṇa ) , etymology and linguistics ( Nirukta ) , rituals and rites of passage ( Kalpa ) , time keeping and astronomy ( Jyotiṣa ) . Vedangas developed as ancillary studies for the Vedas , but its insights into meters , structure of sound and language , grammar , linguistic analysis and other subjects influenced post-Vedic studies , arts , culture and various schools of Hindu philosophy . The Kalpa Vedanga studies , for example , gave rise to the Dharma - sutras , which later expanded into Dharma - shastras . Pariśiṣṭa Main article : Parisista Pariśiṣṭa `` supplement , appendix '' is the term applied to various ancillary works of Vedic literature , dealing mainly with details of ritual and elaborations of the texts logically and chronologically prior to them : the Samhitas , Brahmanas , Aranyakas and Sutras . Naturally classified with the Veda to which each pertains , Parisista works exist for each of the four Vedas . However , only the literature associated with the Atharvaveda is extensive . The Āśvalāyana Gṛhya Pariśiṣṭa is a very late text associated with the Rigveda canon . The Gobhila Gṛhya Pariśiṣṭa is a short metrical text of two chapters , with 113 and 95 verses respectively . The Kātiya Pariśiṣṭas , ascribed to Kātyāyana , consist of 18 works enumerated self - referentially in the fifth of the series ( the Caraṇavyūha ) and the Kātyāyana Śrauta Sūtra Pariśiṣṭa . The Kṛṣṇa Yajurveda has 3 parisistas The Āpastamba Hautra Pariśiṣṭa , which is also found as the second praśna of the Satyasāḍha Śrauta Sūtra ' , the Vārāha Śrauta Sūtra Pariśiṣṭa For the Atharvaveda , there are 79 works , collected as 72 distinctly named parisistas . Upaveda The term upaveda ( `` applied knowledge '' ) is used in traditional literature to designate the subjects of certain technical works . Lists of what subjects are included in this class differ among sources . The Charanavyuha mentions four Upavedas : Archery ( Dhanurveda ) , associated with the Rigveda Architecture ( Sthapatyaveda ) , associated with the Yajurveda . Music and sacred dance ( Gāndharvaveda ) , associated with the Samaveda Medicine ( Āyurveda ) , associated with the Atharvaveda . `` Fifth '' and other Vedas Some post-Vedic texts , including the Mahabharata , the Natyasastra and certain Puranas , refer to themselves as the `` fifth Veda '' . The earliest reference to such a `` fifth Veda '' is found in the Chandogya Upanishad in hymn 7.1. 2 . Let drama and dance ( Nātya , नाट्य ) be the fifth vedic scripture . Combined with an epic story , tending to virtue , wealth , joy and spiritual freedom , it must contain the significance of every scripture , and forward every art . Thus , from all the Vedas , Brahma framed the Nātya Veda . From the Rig Veda he drew forth the words , from the Sama Veda the melody , from the Yajur Veda gesture , and from the Atharva Veda the sentiment . -- First chapter of Nātyaśāstra , Abhinaya Darpana `` Divya Prabandha '' , for example Tiruvaymoli , is a term for canonical Tamil texts considered as Vernacular Veda by some South Indian Hindus . Other texts such as the Bhagavad Gita or the Vedanta Sutras are considered shruti or `` Vedic '' by some Hindu denominations but not universally within Hinduism . The Bhakti movement , and Gaudiya Vaishnavism in particular extended the term veda to include the Sanskrit Epics and Vaishnavite devotional texts such as the Pancaratra . Puranas Main article : Puranas The Puranas is a vast genre of encyclopedic Indian literature about a wide range of topics particularly myths , legends and other traditional lore . Several of these texts are named after major Hindu deities such as Vishnu , Shiva and Devi . There are 18 Maha Puranas ( Great Puranas ) and 18 Upa Puranas ( Minor Puranas ) , with over 400,000 verses . The Puranas have been influential in the Hindu culture . They are considered Vaidika ( congruent with Vedic literature ) . The Bhagavata Purana has been among the most celebrated and popular text in the Puranic genre , and is of non-dualistic tenor . The Puranic literature wove with the Bhakti movement in India , and both Dvaita and Advaita scholars have commented on the underlying Vedanta themes in the Maha Puranas . Western indology Further information : Sanskrit in the West The study of Sanskrit in the West began in the 17th century . In the early 19th century , Arthur Schopenhauer drew attention to Vedic texts , specifically the Upanishads . The importance of Vedic Sanskrit for Indo - European studies was also recognized in the early 19th century . English translations of the Samhitas were published in the later 19th century , in the Sacred Books of the East series edited by Müller between 1879 and 1910 . Ralph T.H. Griffith also presented English translations of the four Samhitas , published 1889 to 1899 . Voltaire regarded Vedas to be exceptional , he remarked that : The Veda was the most precious gift for which the West had ever been indebted to the East . Rigveda manuscripts were selected for inscription in UNESCO 's Memory of the World Register in 2007 .

Written by Sandy Linzer and Denny Randell , the song was originally recorded by The Four Seasons in 1966 , reaching number nine on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 . In the UK Top 50 chart it spent three weeks - all at No. 50 . It is the only hit to feature the group 's arranger Charles Calello in the temporary role of bassist / bass vocalist , having replaced original member Nick Massi . The song is about a man who cheated on his girlfriend and also emotionally abused her . When she leaves , he realizes that he did love her and is very remorseful about his past actions . He vows to win her love back . It is in some ways a re-casting of the melody from their previous hit , `` Let 's Hang On ! '' .

The song reached # 3 on the Irish Singles Chart . It is one of the few songs to feature Mikey Graham on lead vocals . The band recorded two versions of the song , one of which was a collaboration with Alliage . The track is credited as being a major turning point in the career of producer - songwriter Steve Mac . A lack of interest from the `` usual producers '' led to Polydor phoning up Mac and asking him to take on the role , and by doing he effectively made a decisive progression from his early Dance - pop singles to the mature balladry he has since made a very successful career out of .

It is often referred to as `` Colt 45 '' , as the hook states `` Colt 45 and two zig - zags , baby that 's all we need '' .

The station is a terminus and located at the northern end of central Milan . It was officially inaugurated in 1931 to replace the old central station ( built 1864 ) , which was a transit station but with a limited number of tracks and space , so could not handle the increased traffic caused by the opening of the Simplon tunnel in 1906 . Milano Centrale has high speed connections to Turin in the west , Venice via Verona in the east and on the north - south mainline to Bologna , Rome , Naples and Salerno . The Simplon and Gotthard railway lines connect Milano Centrale to Bern and Geneva via Domodossola and Zürich via Chiasso in Switzerland . Destinations of inter-city and regional railways radiate from Milano Centrale to Ventimiglia ( border of France ) , Genova , Turin , Domodossola ( border of Swiss Canton of Valais / Wallis ) , Tirano ( border of Swiss Canton of Graubünden / Grisons ) , Bergamo , Verona , Mantova , Bologna and La Spezia . The Milan suburban railway service , however , does not use Milano Centrale but the other mainline stations : Porta Garibaldi ( northwest ) , Cadorna ( west ) and Rogoredo ( east ) .

Photo by Paolo Monti , 1969 The first Milano Centrale station opened in 1864 in the area now occupied by the Piazza della Repubblica , south of the modern station . It was designed by French architect Louis - Jules Bouchot ( 1817 -- 1907 ) and its architectural style was reminiscent of Parisian buildings of that period . The station was designed to replace Porta Tosa station ( opened in 1846 as the terminus of the line to Treviglio and eventually Venice ) and Porta Nuova station ( opened in 1850 as the second terminus on the line to Monza , which was eventually extended to Chiasso ) and was interconnected with all lines , either existing or under construction , surrounding Milan . It remained in operation until 30 June 1931 , when the current station was opened . There is now no trace of the old station left . King Victor Emmanuel III of Italy laid the cornerstone of the new station on April 28 , 1906 , before a blueprint for the station had even been chosen . The last , real , contest for its construction was won in 1912 by architect Ulisse Stacchini , whose design was modeled after Union Station in Washington , DC , and the construction of the new station began . The purported style was an eclectic mix called `` Assyrian - Lombard . '' Due to the Italian economic crisis during World War I , construction proceeded very slowly , and the project , rather simple at the beginning , kept changing and became more and more complex and majestic . This happened especially when Benito Mussolini became Prime Minister , and wanted the station to represent the power of the Fascist regime . The major changes were the new platform types and the introduction of the great steel canopies by Alberto Fava ; 341 m ( 1,119 ft ) long and covering an area of 66,500 square metres ( 716,000 sq ft ) . Construction resumed in earnest in 1925 and on July 1 , 1931 , the station was officially opened in the presence of Foreign Minister Galeazzo Ciano . Its façade is 200 metres ( 660 ft ) wide and its vault is 72 metres ( 236 ft ) high , a record when it was built . It has 24 platforms . Each day about 330,000 passengers use the station , totaling about 120 million per year . The station has no definite architectural style , but is a blend of many different styles , especially Liberty and Art Deco , but not limited to those . It is adorned with numerous sculptures . `` The ' incongruous envelope of stone ' ( Attilio Pracchi ) of this gigantic and monumental building dominates Piazza Duca d'Aosta . '' On September 25 , 2006 , officials announced a € 100 million project , already in progress , to refurbish the station . Of the total cost , € 20 million has been allocated to restore `` certain areas of high artistic value '' while the remaining € 80 million will be used for more general improvements to the station to make it more functional with the current railway services . The project includes moving the ticket office and installing new elevators and escalators for increased accessibility . There remains unrestored and inaccessible areas to the public within the station including a waiting room with swastikas on the floor designed to receive Hitler . Train services ( edit ) The station has 24 tracks . Every day about 320,000 passengers pass through the station using about 500 trains , for an annual total of 120 million passengers . The station is served by national and international routes , with both long - distance and regional lines . Daily international destinations include Bern , Lugano , Geneva , Zürich , Paris , Vienna , Barcelona and Munich . The station is also connected to Milan - Malpensa Airport through the Malpensa Express airport train .

When Seinfeld ended in 1998 , Richards returned to stand - up comedy .

Subsequently due to significant media coverage of the event he announced his retirement from stand - up early in 2007 . He appeared as himself in the seventh season of Curb Your Enthusiasm in 2009 , acting alongside his fellow cast members for the first time since Seinfeld 's finale , as well as lampooning his incident at the Laugh Factory .

His father died in a car crash when Michael was two and his mother never remarried . Richards graduated from Thousand Oaks High School . He was drafted into the United States Army in 1970 . He trained as a medic and was stationed in West Germany . After being honorably discharged he used the benefits of the G.I. Bill to enroll in the California Institute of the Arts , and received a BA degree in drama from The Evergreen State College in 1975 . He also had a short - lived improv act with Ed Begley , Jr ... During this period , he enrolled at Los Angeles Valley College and continued to appear in student productions . Career ( edit ) Richards got his big TV break in 1979 , appearing in Billy Crystal 's first cable TV special . In 1980 , he began as one of the cast members on ABC 's Fridays television show , where Larry David was a writer . This included a famous instance in which guest Andy Kaufman refused to deliver his scripted lines , leading Richards to bring the cue cards on screen to Kaufman , causing him to throw his drink into Richards 's face before a small riot ensued ( Richards later claimed he was in on the joke ) . The film Man on the Moon featured a re-enactment of the Andy Kaufman incident in which Richards was portrayed by actor Norm Macdonald ( although he is never referred to by name so he could be seen as a composite character taking the place of Richards ) . In 1989 , Richards had a supporting role in `` Weird Al '' Yankovic 's comedy film UHF as janitor Stanley Spadowski . On television , Richards also appeared in Miami Vice ( as an unscrupulous bookie ) , Cheers ( as a character trying to collect on an old bet with Sam Malone ) , and made several guest appearances with Jay Leno as an accident - prone fitness expert . According to an interview with executive producer David Hoberman , ABC first conceived the series Monk as a procedural police comedy with an Inspector Clouseau - like character suffering from obsessive -- compulsive disorder . Hoberman said that ABC wanted Richards to play Adrian Monk , but he turned it down . Seinfeld ( edit ) Richards with Jerry Seinfeld at the 44th Primetime Emmy Awards in 1992 In 1989 , he was cast as Cosmo Kramer in the NBC television series Seinfeld , which was created by fellow Fridays cast member Larry David and comedian Jerry Seinfeld . Although it got off to a slow start , by the mid-1990s , the show had become one of the most popular sitcoms in television history . The series ended its nine - year run in 1998 at # 1 in the Nielsen ratings . In the setting of Seinfeld , Kramer is usually referred to by his last name only and is the neighbor of the show 's eponymous character . Kramer 's first name , Cosmo , was revealed in the sixth - season episode `` The Switch '' . Richards won more Emmys than any other cast member on Seinfeld . He took home the award for Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Comedy Series in 1993 , 1994 and 1997 . Starting in 2004 , he and his fellow Seinfeld cast members provided interviews and audio commentaries for the Seinfeld DVDs , but Richards stopped providing audio commentary after Season 5 though he continued to provide interviews . The Michael Richards show ( edit ) In 2000 , after the end of Seinfeld , Richards began work on a new series for NBC , his first major project since Seinfeld 's finale . The Michael Richards Show , for which the actor received co-writer and co-executive producer credits , was originally conceived as a comedy / mystery starring Richards as a bumbling private investigator . However , after the first pilot failed with test audiences , NBC ordered that the show be retooled into a more conventional , office - based sitcom before its premiere . After a few weeks of poor ratings and negative reviews , it was cancelled . 2006 Laugh Factory incident ( edit ) During a performance on November 17 , 2006 at the Laugh Factory in Hollywood , California Richards shouted a racially charged response to noise from black audience members , shouting `` He 's a nigger ! '' several times , and referring to lynching , and the Jim Crow era . Kyle Doss , a member of the group Richards addressed , said that the group had arrived in the middle of the performance , explaining : ( H ) ere 's what happened . As we walked in , we sat down and started ordering drinks . And , as we ordered drinks , I guess we 're being a little loud , because there was 20 of us ordering drinks . And he said , `` Look at the stupid Mexicans and blacks being loud up there . '' That 's the first thing he said . And then he kept on with his bit . And , then , after a while , I told him , `` My friend does n't think you 're funny . '' And then when I told him that , that 's when he flipped me off and said , `` F - you N - word . '' And that 's how it all started . -- Kyle Doss , Interview on The Situation Room Richards made a public apology when he spoke via satellite on the Late Show with David Letterman , when Jerry Seinfeld was the guest , saying , `` For me to be at a comedy club and to flip out and say this crap , I 'm deeply , deeply sorry . I 'm not a racist , that 's what 's so insane about this . '' The audience initially laughed at Richards using the terms `` Afromerican '' and `` Afro Americans '' and during uncomfortable pauses in Richards ' explanation and apology , unable to decide if the interview was a bit ; at one point Seinfeld chided the audience , `` Stop laughing , it 's not funny . '' Richards said that he had been trying to defuse heckling by being even more outrageous , but that it had backfired . He later called civil rights leaders Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson to apologize . He also appeared as a guest on Jackson 's syndicated radio show . However both Doss and Sharpton have refused to accept Richards ' apology , with the former saying `` ... if he wanted to apologize , he could have contacted somebody to one of us from the group ... but he did n't . He apologized on camera just because the tape got out . '' The incident was later parodied on several TV shows , including MadTV , Family Guy , South Park , and Extras . In an episode of Curb Your Enthusiasm , Richards appeared as himself and poked fun at the incident . In a 2012 episode of Seinfeld 's web series Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee , Richards admitted that the outburst still haunted him , and was a major reason for his withdrawal from performing stand - up . Cameo roles , guest appearances , and film roles ( edit ) Richards played himself in Episode 2 of Season 1 `` The Flirt Episode '' ( 1992 ) of the HBO series , The Larry Sanders Show . Richards also played a cameo role in the comedy thriller film So I Married an Axe Murderer , credited as `` insensitive man '' . Richards played radio station employee Doug Beech in Airheads and co-starred with Jeff Daniels as an actor pretending to be a lawyer in 1997 's Trial and Error . He also made guest appearances on Miami Vice , Night Court and Cheers . In 2007 , Richards voiced character Bud Ditchwater in the animated film Bee Movie , which starred , and was produced by , Jerry Seinfeld . In 2009 , Richards and the other main Seinfeld cast members appeared in the seventh season of Curb Your Enthusiasm . In 2012 , Richards appeared in comedy web series Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee , hosted by Jerry Seinfeld . In 2014 , Richards appeared as the president of Crackle in a trailer for Season 5 . Seinfeld has said that the storyline of the trailer will be expanded upon in one of the episodes . Richards played the role of Frank in the sitcom Kirstie , costarring Kirstie Alley and Rhea Perlman , premiering on TV Land on December 4 , 2013 . The show was canceled after airing one season . Personal life ( edit ) Richards was married for 18 years to Cathleen Lyons , a family therapist . They have one daughter , Sophia ( b . 1975 ) .

Established by an Act of Congress in 1789 to manage government revenue , its responsibilities include : producing currency and coinage , collecting taxes and paying bills of the US government , managing the federal finances , supervising banks and thrifts , and advising on fiscal policy . The Department is administered by the Secretary of the Treasury , who is a member of the Cabinet . On February 13 , 2017 , the Senate confirmed Steven Mnuchin as Secretary of the Treasury . The first Secretary of the Treasury was Alexander Hamilton , who was sworn into office on September 11 , 1789 . Hamilton was asked by President George Washington to serve after first having asked Robert Morris ( who declined , recommending Hamilton instead ) . Hamilton almost single - handedly worked out the nation 's early financial system , and for several years was a major presence in Washington 's administration as well . His portrait is on the obverse of the U.S. ten - dollar bill while the Treasury Department building is shown on the reverse . Besides the Secretary , one of the best - known Treasury officials is the Treasurer of the United States whose signature , along with the Treasury Secretary 's , appears on all Federal Reserve notes . The Treasury prints and mints all paper currency and coins in circulation through the Bureau of Engraving and Printing and the United States Mint . The Department also collects all federal taxes through the Internal Revenue Service , and manages U.S. government debt instruments .

The Congress had no power to levy and collect taxes , nor was there a tangible basis for securing funds from foreign investors or governments . The delegates resolved to issue paper money in the form of bills of credit , promising redemption in coin on faith in the revolutionary cause . On June 22 , 1775 -- only a few days after the Battle of Bunker Hill , Congress issued $2 million in bills ; on July 25 , 28 citizens of Philadelphia were employed by the Congress to sign and number the currency . On July 29 , 1775 , the Second Continental Congress assigned the responsibility for the administration of the revolutionary government 's finances to Joint Continental Treasurers , George Clymer and Michael Hillegas . The Congress stipulated that each of the colonies contribute to the Continental government 's funds . To ensure proper and efficient handling of the growing national debt in the face of weak economic and political ties between the colonies , the Congress , on February 17 , 1776 , designated a committee of five to superintend the Treasury , settle the accounts , and report periodically to the Congress . On April 1 , a Treasury Office of Accounts , consisting of an Auditor General and clerks , was established to facilitate the settlement of claims and to keep the public accounts for the government of the United Colonies . With the signing of the Declaration of Independence on July 4 , 1776 , the new - born republic as a sovereign nation was able to secure loans from abroad . Despite the infusion of foreign and domestic loans to pay for a war of independence , the United Colonies were unable to establish a well - organized agency for financial administration . Michael Hillegas was first called Treasurer of the United States on May 14 , 1777 . The Treasury Office was reorganized three times between 1778 and 1781 . The $241.5 million of paper Continental Dollars devalued rapidly . By May 1781 , the dollar collapsed at a rate of from 500 to 1000 to 1 against hard currency . Protests against the worthless money swept the colonies and angry Americans coined the expression `` not worth a Continental '' . Robert Morris was designated Superintendent of Finance in 1781 and restored stability to the nation 's finances . Morris , a wealthy colonial merchant , was nicknamed `` the Financier '' because of his reputation for procuring funds or goods on a moment 's notice . His staff included a Comptroller , a Treasurer , a Register , and auditors , who managed the country 's finances through 1784 , when Morris resigned because of ill health . The Treasury Board of three Commissioners continued to oversee the finances of the confederation of former colonies until September 1789 . Hamilton and the establishment of the Department of the Treasury ( edit ) The First Congress of the United States was called to convene in New York on March 4 , 1789 , marking the beginning of government under the Constitution . On September 2 , 1789 , Congress created a permanent institution for the management of government finances : Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled , That there shall be a Department of Treasury , in which shall be the following officers , namely : a Secretary of the Treasury , to be deemed head of the department ; a Comptroller , an Auditor , a Treasurer , a Register , and an Assistant to the Secretary of the Treasury , which assistant shall be appointed by the said Secretary . Alexander Hamilton took the oath of office as the first Secretary of the Treasury on September 11 , 1789 . Hamilton had served as George Washington 's aide - de-camp during the Revolution , and was of great importance in the ratification of the Constitution . Because of his financial and managerial acumen , Hamilton was a logical choice for solving the problem of the new nation 's heavy war debt . Hamilton 's first official act was to submit a report to Congress in which he laid the foundation for the nation 's financial health . To the surprise of many legislators , he insisted upon federal assumption and dollar - for - dollar repayment of the country 's war debt of $75 million in order to revitalize the public credit : `` ( T ) he debt of the United States ' was the price of liberty . The faith of America has been repeatedly pledged for it , and with solemnities that give peculiar force to the obligation . '' Hamilton foresaw the development of industry and trade in the United States , and suggested that government revenues be based upon customs duties . His sound financial policies also inspired investment in the Bank of the United States , which acted as the government 's fiscal agent . 2003 reorganization ( edit ) Treasury Building Congress transferred several agencies that had previously been under the aegis of the Treasury department to other departments as a consequence of the September 11 , 2001 terrorist attacks . Effective January 24 , 2003 , the Bureau of Alcohol , Tobacco and Firearms ( ATF ) , which had been a bureau of the Department since 1972 , was extensively reorganized under the provisions of the Homeland Security Act of 2002 . The law enforcement functions of ATF , including the regulation of legitimate traffic in firearms and explosives , were transferred to the Department of Justice as the Bureau of Alcohol , Tobacco , Firearms , and Explosives ( BATFE ) . The regulatory and tax collection functions of ATF related to legitimate traffic in alcohol and tobacco remained with the Treasury at its new Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau ( TTB ) . Effective March 1 , 2003 , the Federal Law Enforcement Training Center , the United States Customs Service , and the United States Secret Service were transferred to the newly created Department of Homeland Security ( `` DHS '' ) .

-4200202267415097345 | Human genetic variation | Human genetic variation - wikipedia Human genetic variation A graphical representation of the typical human karyotype . The human mitochondrial DNA . Human genetic variation is the genetic differences in and among populations . There may be multiple variants of any given gene in the human population ( alleles ) , a situation called polymorphism . No two humans are genetically identical . Even monozygotic twins ( who develop from one zygote ) have infrequent genetic differences due to mutations occurring during development and gene copy - number variation . Differences between individuals , even closely related individuals , are the key to techniques such as genetic fingerprinting . As of 2017 , there are a total of 324 million known variants from sequenced human genomes . As of 2015 , the typical difference between the genomes of two individuals was estimated at 20 million base pairs ( or 0.6 % of the total of 3.2 billion base pairs ) . Alleles occur at different frequencies in different human populations . Populations that are more geographically and ancestrally remote tend to differ more . The differences between populations represent a small proportion of overall human genetic variation . Populations also differ in the quantity of variation among their members . The greatest divergence between populations is found in sub-Saharan Africa , consistent with the recent African origin of non-African populations . Populations also vary in the proportion and locus of introgressed genes they received by archaic admixture both inside and outside of Africa . The study of human genetic variation has evolutionary significance and medical applications . It can help scientists understand ancient human population migrations as well as how human groups are biologically related to one another . For medicine , study of human genetic variation may be important because some disease - causing alleles occur more often in people from specific geographic regions . New findings show that each human has on average 60 new mutations compared to their parents .

There are at least three reasons why genetic variation exists between populations . Natural selection may confer an adaptive advantage to individuals in a specific environment if an allele provides a competitive advantage . Alleles under selection are likely to occur only in those geographic regions where they confer an advantage . A second important process is genetic drift , which is the effect of random changes in the gene pool , under conditions where most mutations are neutral ( that is , they do not appear to have any positive or negative selective effect on the organism ) . Finally , small migrant populations have statistical differences -- call the founder effect -- from the overall populations where they originated ; when these migrants settle new areas , their descendant population typically differs from their population of origin : different genes predominate and it is less genetically diverse . In humans , the main cause is genetic drift . Serial founder effects and past small population size ( increasing the likelihood of genetic drift ) may have had an important influence in neutral differences between populations . The second main cause of genetic variation is due to the high degree of neutrality of most mutations . A small , but significant number of genes appear to have undergone recent natural selection , and these selective pressures are sometimes specific to one region . Measures of variation ( edit ) Genetic variation among humans occurs on many scales , from gross alterations in the human karyotype to single nucleotide changes . Chromosome abnormalities are detected in 1 of 160 live human births . Apart from sex chromosome disorders , most cases of aneuploidy result in death of the developing fetus ( miscarriage ) ; the most common extra autosomal chromosomes among live births are 21 , 18 and 13 . Nucleotide diversity is the average proportion of nucleotides that differ between two individuals . As of 2004 , the human nucleotide diversity was estimated to be 0.1 % to 0.4 % of base pairs . In 2015 , the 1000 Genomes Project , which sequenced one thousand individuals from 26 human populations , found that `` a typical ( individual ) genome differs from the reference human genome at 4.1 million to 5.0 million sites ... affecting 20 million bases of sequence '' ; the latter figure corresponds to 0.6 % of total number of base pairs . Nearly all ( > 99.9 % ) of these sites are small differences , either single nucleotide polymorphisms or brief insertions or deletions ( indels ) in the genetic sequence , but structural variations account for a greater number of base - pairs than the SNPs and indels . As of 2017 , the Single Nucleotide Polymorphism Database ( dbSNP ) , which lists SNP and other variants , listed 324 million variants found in sequenced human genomes . Single nucleotide polymorphisms ( edit ) DNA molecule 1 differs from DNA molecule 2 at a single base - pair location ( a C / T polymorphism ) . Main article : Single nucleotide polymorphism A single nucleotide polymorphism ( SNP ) is a difference in a single nucleotide between members of one species that occurs in at least 1 % of the population . The 2,504 individuals characterized by the 1000 Genomes Project had 84.7 million SNPs among them . SNPs are the most common type of sequence variation , estimated in 1998 to account for 90 % of all sequence variants . Other sequence variations are single base exchanges , deletions and insertions . SNPs occur on average about every 100 to 300 bases and so are the major source of heterogeneity . A functional , or non-synonymous , SNP is one that affects some factor such as gene splicing or messenger RNA , and so causes a phenotypic difference between members of the species . About 3 % to 5 % of human SNPs are functional ( see International HapMap Project ) . Neutral , or synonymous SNPs are still useful as genetic markers in genome - wide association studies , because of their sheer number and the stable inheritance over generations . A coding SNP is one that occurs inside a gene . There are 105 Human Reference SNPs that result in premature stop codons in 103 genes . This corresponds to 0.5 % of coding SNPs . They occur due to segmental duplication in the genome . These SNPs result in loss of protein , yet all these SNP alleles are common and are not purified in negative selection . Structural variation ( edit ) Main article : Structural variation Structural variation is the variation in structure of an organism 's chromosome . Structural variations , such as copy - number variation and deletions , inversions , insertions and duplications , account for much more human genetic variation than single nucleotide diversity . This was concluded in 2007 from analysis of the diploid full sequences of the genomes of two humans : Craig Venter and James D. Watson . This added to the two haploid sequences which were amalgamations of sequences from many individuals , published by the Human Genome Project and Celera Genomics respectively . According to the 1000 Genomes Project , a typical human has 2,100 to 2,500 structural variations , which include approximately 1,000 large deletions , 160 copy - number variants , 915 Alu insertions , 128 L1 insertions , 51 SVA insertions , 4 NUMT s , and 10 inversions . Copy number variation ( edit ) Main article : Copy number variation A copy - number variation ( CNV ) is a difference in the genome due to deleting or duplicating large regions of DNA on some chromosome . It is estimated that 0.4 % of the genomes of unrelated humans differ with respect to copy number . When copy number variation is included , human - to - human genetic variation is estimated to be at least 0.5 % ( 99.5 % similarity ) . Copy number variations are inherited but can also arise during development . A visual map with the regions with high genomic variation of the modern - human reference assembly relatively to a Neanderthal of 50k has been built by Pratas et al . Epigenetics ( edit ) Epigenetic variation is variation in the chemical tags that attach to DNA and affect how genes get read . The tags , `` called epigenetic markings , act as switches that control how genes can be read . '' At some alleles , the epigenetic state of the DNA , and associated phenotype , can be inherited across generations of individuals . Genetic variability ( edit ) Main article : Genetic variability Genetic variability is a measure of the tendency of individual genotypes in a population to vary ( become different ) from one another . Variability is different from genetic diversity , which is the amount of variation seen in a particular population . The variability of a trait is how much that trait tends to vary in response to environmental and genetic influences . Clines ( edit ) Main article : Cline ( biology ) In biology , a cline is a continuum of species , populations , races , varieties , or forms of organisms that exhibit gradual phenotypic and / or genetic differences over a geographical area , typically as a result of environmental heterogeneity . In the scientific study of human genetic variation , a gene cline can be rigorously defined and subjected to quantitative metrics . Haplogroups ( edit ) Main article : Haplogroup In the study of molecular evolution , a haplogroup is a group of similar haplotypes that share a common ancestor with a single nucleotide polymorphism ( SNP ) mutation . Haplogroups pertain to deep ancestral origins dating back thousands of years . The most commonly studied human haplogroups are Y - chromosome ( Y - DNA ) haplogroups and mitochondrial DNA ( mtDNA ) haplogroups , both of which can be used to define genetic populations . Y - DNA is passed solely along the patrilineal line , from father to son , while mtDNA is passed down the matrilineal line , from mother to both daughter and son . The Y - DNA and mtDNA may change by chance mutation at each generation . Variable number tandem repeats ( edit ) Main article : Variable number tandem repeat A variable number tandem repeat ( VNTR ) is the variation of length of a tandem repeat . A tandem repeat is the adjacent repetition of a short nucleotide sequence . Tandem repeats exist on many chromosomes , and their length varies between individuals . Each variant acts as an inherited allele , so they are used for personal or parental identification . Their analysis is useful in genetics and biology research , forensics , and DNA fingerprinting . Short tandem repeats ( about 5 base pairs ) are called microsatellites , while longer ones are called minisatellites . History and geographic distribution ( edit ) Map of the migration of modern humans out of Africa , based on mitochondrial DNA . Colored rings indicate thousand years before present . Dominant Y - chromosome haplogroups in pre-colonial world populations , with possible migrations routes according to the Coastal Migration Model . Genetic distance map by Magalhães et al. ( 2012 ) See also : Human evolutionary genetics § Modern humans , and Recent human evolution Recent African origin of modern humans ( edit ) The recent African origin of modern humans paradigm assumes the dispersal of non-African populations of anatomically modern humans after 70,000 years ago . Dispersal within Africa occurred significantly earlier , at least 130,000 years ago . The `` out of Africa '' theory originates in the 19th century , as a tentative suggestion in Charles Darwin 's Descent of Man , but remained speculative until the 1980s when it was supported by study of present - day mitochondrial DNA , combined with evidence from physical anthropology of archaic specimens . According to a 2000 study of Y - chromosome sequence variation , human Y - chromosomes trace ancestry to Africa , and the descendants of the derived lineage left Africa and eventually were replaced by archaic human Y - chromosomes in Eurasia . The study also shows that a minority of contemporary populations in East Africa and the Khoisan are the descendants of the most ancestral patrilineages of anatomically modern humans that left Africa 35,000 to 89,000 years ago . Other evidence supporting the theory is that variations in skull measurements decrease with distance from Africa at the same rate as the decrease in genetic diversity . Human genetic diversity decreases in native populations with migratory distance from Africa , and this is thought to be due to bottlenecks during human migration , which are events that temporarily reduce population size . A 2009 genetic clustering study , which genotyped 1327 polymorphic markers in various African populations , identified six ancestral clusters . The clustering corresponded closely with ethnicity , culture and language . A 2018 whole genome sequencing study of the world 's populations observed similar clusters among the populations in Africa . At K = 9 , distinct ancestral components defined the Afrosiatic - speaking populations inhabiting North Africa and Northeast Africa ; the Nilo - Saharan - speaking populations in Northeast Africa and East Africa ; the Ari populations in Northeast Africa ; the Niger - Congo - speaking populations in West - Central Africa , West Africa , East Africa and Southern Africa ; the Pygmy populations in Central Africa ; and the Khoisan populations in Southern Africa . Population Genetics ( edit ) See also : Population genetics The human genetic variations found to be very rare between individuals but it is a lot more common within population ( more than 5 % ) . The number of variants change depend on how closely related the populations are . The more closely related the population the higher the percentage of variations . Genetic variation It is commonly assumed that early humans left Africa , and thus must have passed through a population bottleneck before their African - Eurasian divergence around 100,000 years ago ( ca . 3,000 generations ) . The rapid expansion of a previously small population has two important effects on the distribution of genetic variation . First , the so - called founder effect occurs when founder populations bring only a subset of the genetic variation from their ancestral population . Second , as founders become more geographically separated , the probability that two individuals from different founder populations will mate becomes smaller . The effect of this assortative mating is to reduce gene flow between geographical groups and to increase the genetic distance between groups . The expansion of humans from Africa affected the distribution of genetic variation in two other ways . First , smaller ( founder ) populations experience greater genetic drift because of increased fluctuations in neutral polymorphisms . Second , new polymorphisms that arose in one group were less likely to be transmitted to other groups as gene flow was restricted . Populations in Africa tend to have lower amounts of linkage disequilibrium than do populations outside Africa , partly because of the larger size of human populations in Africa over the course of human history and partly because the number of modern humans who left Africa to colonize the rest of the world appears to have been relatively low . In contrast , populations that have undergone dramatic size reductions or rapid expansions in the past and populations formed by the mixture of previously separate ancestral groups can have unusually high levels of linkage disequilibrium Distribution of variation ( edit ) Human genetic variation calculated from genetic data representing 346 microsatellite loci taken from 1484 individuals in 78 human populations . The upper graph illustrates that as populations are further from East Africa , they have declining genetic diversity as measured in average number of microsatellite repeats at each of the loci . The bottom chart illustrates isolation by distance . Populations with a greater distance between them are more dissimilar ( as measured by the Fst statistic ) than those which are geographically close to one another . The horizontal axis of both charts is geographic distance as measured along likely routes of human migration . ( Chart from Kanitz et al. 2018 ) The distribution of genetic variants within and among human populations are impossible to describe succinctly because of the difficulty of defining a `` population , '' the clinal nature of variation , and heterogeneity across the genome ( Long and Kittles 2003 ) . In general , however , an average of 85 % of genetic variation exists within local populations , ~ 7 % is between local populations within the same continent , and ~ 8 % of variation occurs between large groups living on different continents . The recent African origin theory for humans would predict that in Africa there exists a great deal more diversity than elsewhere and that diversity should decrease the further from Africa a population is sampled . Phenotypic variation ( edit ) Further information : Phenotype § Phenotypic_variation Sub-Saharan Africa has the most human genetic diversity and the same has been shown to hold true for phenotypic variation in skull form . Phenotype is connected to genotype through gene expression . Genetic diversity decreases smoothly with migratory distance from that region , which many scientists believe to be the origin of modern humans , and that decrease is mirrored by a decrease in phenotypic variation . Skull measurements are an example of a physical attribute whose within - population variation decreases with distance from Africa . The distribution of many physical traits resembles the distribution of genetic variation within and between human populations ( American Association of Physical Anthropologists 1996 ; Keita and Kittles 1997 ) . For example , ~ 90 % of the variation in human head shapes occurs within continental groups , and ~ 10 % separates groups , with a greater variability of head shape among individuals with recent African ancestors ( Relethford 2002 ) . A prominent exception to the common distribution of physical characteristics within and among groups is skin color . Approximately 10 % of the variance in skin color occurs within groups , and ~ 90 % occurs between groups ( Relethford 2002 ) . This distribution of skin color and its geographic patterning -- with people whose ancestors lived predominantly near the equator having darker skin than those with ancestors who lived predominantly in higher latitudes -- indicate that this attribute has been under strong selective pressure . Darker skin appears to be strongly selected for in equatorial regions to prevent sunburn , skin cancer , the photolysis of folate , and damage to sweat glands . Understanding how genetic diversity in the human population impacts various levels of gene expression is an active area of research . While earlier studies focused on the relationship between DNA variation and RNA expression , more recent efforts are characterizing the genetic control of various aspects of gene expression including chromatin states , translation , and protein levels . A study published in 2007 found that 25 % of genes showed different levels of gene expression between populations of European and Asian descent . The primary cause of this difference in gene expression was thought to be SNPs in gene regulatory regions of DNA . Another study published in 2007 found that approximately 83 % of genes were expressed at different levels among individuals and about 17 % between populations of European and African descent . Wright 's fixation index as measure of variation ( edit ) The population geneticist Sewall Wright developed the fixation index ( often abbreviated to F ) as a way of measuring genetic differences between populations . This statistic is often used in taxonomy to compare differences between any two given populations by measuring the genetic differences among and between populations for individual genes , or for many genes simultaneously . It is often stated that the fixation index for humans is about 0.15 . This translates to an estimated 85 % of the variation measured in the overall human population is found within individuals of the same population , and about 15 % of the variation occurs between populations . These estimates imply that any two individuals from different populations are almost as likely to be more similar to each other than either is to a member of their own group . `` The shared evolutionary history of living humans has resulted in a high relatedness among all living people , as indicated for example by the very low fixation index ( F ) among living human populations . '' < / ref > Richard Lewontin , who affirmed these ratios , thus concluded neither `` race '' nor `` subspecies '' were appropriate or useful ways to describe human populations . Wright himself believed that values > 0.25 represent very great genetic variation and that an F of 0.15 -- 0.25 represented great variation . However , about 5 % of human variation occurs between populations within continents , therefore F values between continental groups of humans ( or races ) of as low as 0.1 ( or possibly lower ) have been found in some studies , suggesting more moderate levels of genetic variation . Graves ( 1996 ) has countered that F should not be used as a marker of subspecies status , as the statistic is used to measure the degree of differentiation between populations , although see also Wright ( 1978 ) . Jeffrey Long and Rick Kittles give a long critique of the application of F to human populations in their 2003 paper `` Human Genetic Diversity and the Nonexistence of Biological Races '' . They find that the figure of 85 % is misleading because it implies that all human populations contain on average 85 % of all genetic diversity . They argue the underlying statistical model incorrectly assumes equal and independent histories of variation for each large human population . A more realistic approach is to understand that some human groups are parental to other groups and that these groups represent paraphyletic groups to their descent groups . For example , under the recent African origin theory the human population in Africa is paraphyletic to all other human groups because it represents the ancestral group from which all non-African populations derive , but more than that , non-African groups only derive from a small non-representative sample of this African population . This means that all non-African groups are more closely related to each other and to some African groups ( probably east Africans ) than they are to others , and further that the migration out of Africa represented a genetic bottleneck , with much of the diversity that existed in Africa not being carried out of Africa by the emigrating groups . Under this scenario , human populations do not have equal amounts of local variability , but rather diminished amounts of diversity the further from Africa any population lives . Long and Kittles find that rather than 85 % of human genetic diversity existing in all human populations , about 100 % of human diversity exists in a single African population , whereas only about 70 % of human genetic diversity exists in a population derived from New Guinea . Long and Kittles argued that this still produces a global human population that is genetically homogeneous compared to other mammalian populations . Archaic admixture ( edit ) Main article : Archaic human admixture with modern humans There is a hypothesis that anatomically modern humans interbred with Neanderthals during the Middle Paleolithic . In May 2010 , the Neanderthal Genome Project presented genetic evidence that interbreeding did likely take place and that a small but significant portion of Neanderthal admixture is present in the DNA of modern Eurasians and Oceanians , and nearly absent in sub-Saharan African populations . Between 4 % and 6 % of the genome of Melanesians ( represented by the Papua New Guinean and Bougainville Islander ) are thought to derive from Denisova hominins - a previously unknown species which shares a common origin with Neanderthals . It was possibly introduced during the early migration of the ancestors of Melanesians into Southeast Asia . This history of interaction suggests that Denisovans once ranged widely over eastern Asia . Thus , Melanesians emerge as the most archaic - admixed population , having Denisovan / Neanderthal - related admixture of ~ 8 % . In a study published in 2013 , Jeffrey Wall from University of California studied whole sequence - genome data and found higher rates of introgression in Asians compared to Europeans . Hammer et al. tested the hypothesis that contemporary African genomes have signatures of gene flow with archaic human ancestors and found evidence of archaic admixture in African genomes , suggesting that modest amounts of gene flow were widespread throughout time and space during the evolution of anatomically modern humans . Categorization of the world population ( edit ) Chart showing human genetic clustering . See also : Race ( human classification ) and Race and genetics New data on human genetic variation has reignited the debate about a possible biological basis for categorization of humans into races . Most of the controversy surrounds the question of how to interpret the genetic data and whether conclusions based on it are sound . Some researchers argue that self - identified race can be used as an indicator of geographic ancestry for certain health risks and medications . Although the genetic differences among human groups are relatively small , these differences in certain genes such as duffy , ABCC11 , SLC24A5 , called ancestry - informative markers ( AIMs ) nevertheless can be used to reliably situate many individuals within broad , geographically based groupings . For example , computer analyses of hundreds of polymorphic loci sampled in globally distributed populations have revealed the existence of genetic clustering that roughly is associated with groups that historically have occupied large continental and subcontinental regions ( Rosenberg et al. 2002 ; Bamshad et al. 2003 ) . Some commentators have argued that these patterns of variation provide a biological justification for the use of traditional racial categories . They argue that the continental clusterings correspond roughly with the division of human beings into sub-Saharan Africans ; Europeans , Western Asians , Central Asians , Southern Asians and Northern Africans ; Eastern Asians , Southeast Asians , Polynesians and Native Americans ; and other inhabitants of Oceania ( Melanesians , Micronesians & Australian Aborigines ) ( Risch et al. 2002 ) . Other observers disagree , saying that the same data undercut traditional notions of racial groups ( King and Motulsky 2002 ; Calafell 2003 ; Tishkoff and Kidd 2004 ) . They point out , for example , that major populations considered races or subgroups within races do not necessarily form their own clusters . Furthermore , because human genetic variation is clinal , many individuals affiliate with two or more continental groups . Thus , the genetically based `` biogeographical ancestry '' assigned to any given person generally will be broadly distributed and will be accompanied by sizable uncertainties ( Pfaff et al. 2004 ) . In many parts of the world , groups have mixed in such a way that many individuals have relatively recent ancestors from widely separated regions . Although genetic analyses of large numbers of loci can produce estimates of the percentage of a person 's ancestors coming from various continental populations ( Shriver et al. 2003 ; Bamshad et al. 2004 ) , these estimates may assume a false distinctiveness of the parental populations , since human groups have exchanged mates from local to continental scales throughout history ( Cavalli - Sforza et al. 1994 ; Hoerder 2002 ) . Even with large numbers of markers , information for estimating admixture proportions of individuals or groups is limited , and estimates typically will have wide confidence intervals ( Pfaff et al. 2004 ) . Genetic clustering ( edit ) Main article : Human genetic clustering Genetic data can be used to infer population structure and assign individuals to groups that often correspond with their self - identified geographical ancestry . Jorde and Wooding ( 2004 ) argued that `` Analysis of many loci now yields reasonably accurate estimates of genetic similarity among individuals , rather than populations . Clustering of individuals is correlated with geographic origin or ancestry . '' However , identification by geographic origin may quickly break down when considering historical ancestry shared between individuals back in time . An analysis of autosomal SNP data from the International HapMap Project ( Phase II ) and CEPH Human Genome Diversity Panel samples was published in 2009 . The study of 53 populations taken from the HapMap and CEPH data ( 1138 unrelated individuals ) suggested that natural selection may shape the human genome much more slowly than previously thought , with factors such as migration within and among continents more heavily influencing the distribution of genetic variations . A similar study published in 2010 found strong genome - wide evidence for selection due to changes in ecoregion , diet , and subsistence particularly in connection with polar ecoregions , with foraging , and with a diet rich in roots and tubers . In a 2016 study , principal component analysis of genome - wide data was capable of recovering previously - known targets for positive selection ( without prior definition of populations ) as well as a number of new candidate genes . Forensic anthropology ( edit ) Forensic anthropologists can determine aspects of geographic ancestry ( i.e. Asian , African , or European ) from skeletal remains with a high degree of accuracy by analyzing skeletal measurements . According to some studies , individual test methods such as mid-facial measurements and femur traits can identify the geographic ancestry and by extension the racial category to which an individual would have been assigned during their lifetime , with over 80 % accuracy , and in combination can be even more accurate . However , the skeletons of people who have recent ancestry in different geographical regions can exhibit characteristics of more than one ancestral group and , hence , can not be identified as belonging to any single ancestral group . Triangle plot shows average admixture of five North American ethnic groups . Individuals that self - identify with each group can be found at many locations on the map , but on average groups tend to cluster differently . Gene flow and admixture ( edit ) Main article : Gene flow Gene flow between two populations reduces the average genetic distance between the populations , only totally isolated human populations experience no gene flow and most populations have continuous gene flow with other neighboring populations which create the clinal distribution observed for moth genetic variation . When gene flow takes place between well - differentiated genetic populations the result is referred to as `` genetic admixture '' . Admixture mapping is a technique used to study how genetic variants cause differences in disease rates between population . Recent admixture populations that trace their ancestry to multiple continents are well suited for identifying genes for traits and diseases that differ in prevalence between parental populations . African - American populations have been the focus of numerous population genetic and admixture mapping studies , including studies of complex genetic traits such as white cell count , body - mass index , prostate cancer and renal disease . An analysis of phenotypic and genetic variation including skin color and socio - economic status was carried out in the population of Cape Verde which has a well documented history of contact between Europeans and Africans . The studies showed that pattern of admixture in this population has been sex - biased and there is a significant interactions between socio economic status and skin color independent of the skin color and ancestry . Another study shows an increased risk of graft - versus - host disease complications after transplantation due to genetic variants in human leukocyte antigen ( HLA ) and non-HLA proteins . Health ( edit ) See also : Race and health Differences in allele frequencies contribute to group differences in the incidence of some monogenic diseases , and they may contribute to differences in the incidence of some common diseases . For the monogenic diseases , the frequency of causative alleles usually correlates best with ancestry , whether familial ( for example , Ellis - van Creveld syndrome among the Pennsylvania Amish ) , ethnic ( Tay - Sachs disease among Ashkenazi Jewish populations ) , or geographical ( hemoglobinopathies among people with ancestors who lived in malarial regions ) . To the extent that ancestry corresponds with racial or ethnic groups or subgroups , the incidence of monogenic diseases can differ between groups categorized by race or ethnicity , and health - care professionals typically take these patterns into account in making diagnoses . Even with common diseases involving numerous genetic variants and environmental factors , investigators point to evidence suggesting the involvement of differentially distributed alleles with small to moderate effects . Frequently cited examples include hypertension ( Douglas et al. 1996 ) , diabetes ( Gower et al. 2003 ) , obesity ( Fernandez et al. 2003 ) , and prostate cancer ( Platz et al. 2000 ) . However , in none of these cases has allelic variation in a susceptibility gene been shown to account for a significant fraction of the difference in disease prevalence among groups , and the role of genetic factors in generating these differences remains uncertain ( Mountain and Risch 2004 ) . Some other variations on the other hand are beneficial to human , as they prevent certain diseases and increase the chance to adapt to the environment . For example , mutation in CCR5 gene that protects against AIDS . CCR5 gene is absent on the surface of cell due to mutation . Without CCR5 gene on the surface , there is nothing for HIV viruses to grab on and bind into . Therefore the mutation on CCR5 gene decreases the chance of an individual 's risk with AIDS . The mutation in CCR5 is also quite popular in certain areas , with more than 14 % of the population carry the mutation in Europe and about 6 - 10 % in Asia and North Africa . HIV attachment Apart from mutations , many genes that may have aided humans in ancient times plague humans today . For example , it is suspected that genes that allow humans to more efficiently process food are those that make people susceptible to obesity and diabetes today . Neil Risch of Stanford University has proposed that self - identified race / ethnic group could be a valid means of categorization in the USA for public health and policy considerations . A 2002 paper by Noah Rosenberg 's group makes a similar claim : `` The structure of human populations is relevant in various epidemiological contexts . As a result of variation in frequencies of both genetic and nongenetic risk factors , rates of disease and of such phenotypes as adverse drug response vary across populations . Further , information about a patient 's population of origin might provide health care practitioners with information about risk when direct causes of disease are unknown .

It is , therefore , probable that Africa was formerly inhabited by extinct apes closely allied to the gorilla and chimpanzee ; and as these two species are now man 's nearest allies , it is somewhat more probable that our early progenitors lived on the African continent than elsewhere . But it is useless to speculate on this subject , for an ape nearly as large as a man , namely the Dryopithecus of Lartet , which was closely allied to the anthropomorphous Hylobates , existed in Europe during the Upper Miocene period ; and since so remote a period the earth has certainly undergone many great revolutions , and there has been ample time for migration on the largest scale . ^ Jump up to : Underhill PA , Shen P , Lin AA , Jin L , Passarino G , Yang WH , et al.

We incorporated geographic data into a Bayesian clustering analysis , assuming no admixture ( TESS software ) ( 25 ) and distinguished six clusters within continental Africa ( Fig . 5A ) . The most geographically widespread cluster ( orange ) extends from far Western Africa ( the Mandinka ) through central Africa to the Bantu speakers of South Africa ( the Venda and Xhosa ) and corresponds to the distribution of the Niger - Kordofanian language family , possibly reflecting the spread of Bantu - speaking populations from near the Nigerian / Cameroon highlands across eastern and southern Africa within the past 5000 to 3000 years ( 26 , 27 ) . Another inferred cluster includes the Pygmy and SAK populations ( green ) , with a noncontiguous geographic distribution in central and southeastern Africa , consistent with the STRUCTURE ( Fig. 3 ) and phylogenetic analyses ( Fig. 1 ) . Another geographically contiguous cluster extends across northern Africa ( blue ) into Mali ( the Dogon ) , Ethiopia , and northern Kenya . With the exception of the Dogon , these populations speak an Afroasiatic language . Chadic - speaking and Nilo - Saharan -- speaking populations from Nigeria , Cameroon , and central Chad , as well as several Nilo - Saharan -- speaking populations from southern Sudan , constitute another cluster ( red ) . Nilo - Saharan and Cushitic speakers from the Sudan , Kenya , and Tanzania , as well as some of the Bantu speakers from Kenya , Tanzania , and Rwanda ( Hutu / Tutsi ) , constitute another cluster ( purple ) , reflecting linguistic evidence for gene flow among these populations over the past ~ 5000 years ( 28 , 29 ) . Finally , the Hadza are the sole constituents of a sixth cluster ( yellow ) , consistent with their distinctive genetic structure identified by PCA and STRUCTURE .

3786176372905927183 | Social perception | Social perception - wikipedia Social perception Further information on Social perception : Social psychology and social cognition Social perception ( or person perception ) is the study of how people form impressions of and make inferences about other people as sovereign personalities . People learn about others ' feelings and emotions by picking up information they gather from physical appearance , verbal , and nonverbal communication . Facial expressions , tone of voice , hand gestures , and body position or movement are just a few examples of ways people communicate without words . A real - world example of social perception would be understanding that others disagree with what one said when one sees them roll their eyes . There are four main components of social perception : observation , attribution , integration , and confirmation . Observations serve as the raw data of social perception -- an interplay of three sources : persons , situations , and behavior . These sources are used as evidence in supporting a person 's impression or inference about others . Another important factor to understand when talking about social perception is attribution . Attribution is expressing an individual 's personality as the source or cause of their behavior during an event or situation . In order to fully understand the impact of personal or situational attributions , social perceivers must integrate all available information into a unified impression . To finally confirm these impressions , people try to understand , find , and create information in the form of various biases . Most importantly , social perception is shaped by an individual 's current motivations , emotions , and cognitive load capacity . Cognitive load is the complete amount of mental effort utilized in the working memory . All of this combined determines how people attribute certain traits and how those traits are interpreted . The fascination and research for social perception date back to the late 1800s when social psychology was first being discovered . As more and more research on social perception is done , the realization of its significance in understanding and predicting our social world continues to grow . This overview article aims to inform readers about the processes of social perception along with brief descriptions to relevant and related theories .

Persons -- physical influence ( edit ) Although society tries to train people not to judge others based on their physical traits , as social perceivers , we can not help but be influenced by others ' hair , skin color , height , weight , style of clothes , pitch in voice , etc. , when making a first impression . People have the tendency to judge others by associating certain facial features with specific personality types . For example , studies indicate that people are perceived to be stronger , more assertive , and competent if they have small eyes , low eyebrows , an angular chin , wrinkled skin , and a small forehead . While baby - faced people tend to be connected to impotence and harmlessness . Situations -- context from prior experiences ( edit ) People are able to easily predict the sequences or results of an event based on the extent and depth of their past experiences with a similar event . The ability to anticipate the outcomes of a situation is also greatly influenced by an individual 's cultural background because this inevitably shapes the types of experiences . Situational observations either lead humans to have preset notions about certain events or to explain the causes of human behaviors . Behaviors -- nonverbal communication ( edit ) Nonverbal communication helps people express their emotions , attitudes , and personalities . The most dominant form of nonverbal communication is the use of facial expressions to channel different emotions . Greatly influenced by Charles Darwin 's research on facial expressions and book The Expression of the Emotions in Man and Animals ( 1872 ) , it is believed that all humans , regardless of culture or race , encode and decode the six `` primary '' emotions , ( happiness , sadness , anger , fear , surprise , and disgust ) , universally in the same way . To encode means to communicate nonverbal behavior , while to decode means to interpret the meaning or intention of the nonverbal behavior . Decoding sometimes is inaccurate due to affect blend , ( a facial expression with two differently registered emotions ) , and / or display rules , ( culturally dictated rules about which nonverbal behaviors are acceptable to display ) . Other nonverbal cues such as : body language , eye contact , and vocal intonations can affect social perception by allowing for thin - slicing . Thin - slicing describes the ability to make quick judgements from finding consistencies in events based only on narrow frames of experience . Attribution ( edit ) With the observations drawn from persons , situations , and behavior , the next step is to make inferences in order to identify an individual 's inner dispositions . Attribution theories ( edit ) A large component of social perception is attribution . Attribution is the use of information gathered through observation to help individuals understand and rationalize the causes of one 's own and others ' behaviors . Psychological research on attribution began with the work of Fritz Heider in 1958 , and was subsequently developed by others such as Harold Kelley and Bernard Weiner . People make attributions to understand the world around them in order to seek reasons for an individual 's particular behavior . When people make attributions they are able to make judgments as to what was the cause or causes of a certain behavior . Attribution theory is the study of what systems and models people implement in order to make attributions about the behavior of others . It attempts to explain how we use information about the social environment to understand others ' behavior . One common bias people exhibit in attribution is called the fundamental attribution error . The fundamental attribution error is the tendency for people to attribute others ' actions or behaviors to internal traits as opposed to external circumstances . An example of how this may manifest in the real world as pointed out in research by Furnham and Gunter is how one 's view of the justness of poverty may be affected by one 's financial status : one who has not experienced poverty may see it as being more or less deserved than might someone who has been impoverished at some point . In this way , fundamental attribution error can be a barrier to empathizing with others , as one does not consider all the circumstances involved in the actions of others . Two - step process of making attributions ( edit ) Unlike conventional attribution theories , the two - step process of attribution suggests that people analyze others ' behaviors first by automatically making an internal attribution and only then considering possible external attributions that may affect the initial inference . Heider 's most valuable contribution to the topic of attribution is the dichotomy : When attempting to decide why individuals behave a certain way , we can make either an internal or external attribution . Internal attribution , ( also called dispositional attribution or personal attribution ) , is the assumption that an individual is acting a certain way due to something about that individual , such as personality , character , or attitude . External attribution , also called situational attribution , is the inference that an individual is acting a certain way due to the situation he or she is in ; the assumption is that most individuals would respond in the same way in that similar situation . Essentially , people first assume that a person 's behavior is due to his or her personality , and then attempt to modify this attribution by also factoring in the person 's situation . Jones 's correspondent inference theory ( edit ) According to Edward Jones and Keith Davis 's correspondent inference theory , people learn about other individuals from behavior that is chosen freely , that is not anticipated , and that results in a small number of favorable outcomes . There are three factors that people use as a basis for their inferences : An individual 's degree of choice The expectedness of the behavior The intentions or motives behind the effects or consequences of the behavior Kelley 's covariation theory ( edit ) According to American social psychologist Harold Kelley , individuals make attributions by utilizing the covariation principle . The covariation principle claims that people attribute behavior to the factors that are present when a certain behavior occurs and the factors that are absent when it does not occur . There are three types of covariation information that are particularly helpful : consensus , distinctiveness , and consistency . If a single individual and a large majority of individuals behave similarly in reaction to a specific stimulus , then the individual 's behavior is attributed to the stimulus and is high in consensus . The individual 's behavior due to this specific stimulus should be compared to the individual 's behavior in reaction other stimuli within the same broader category . This helps judge whether the level of distinctiveness information is high , and thus attributed to the stimulus . Lastly , consistency information is used to see what happens to the behavior at another time when the individual and the stimulus both remain unchanged . Integration ( edit ) Unless a snap judgement is made from observing persons , situations , or behavior , people integrate the dispositions to form impressions . Information integration theory ( edit ) Norman H. Anderson , an American social psychologist , developed the information integration theory in 1981 . The theory states that impressions are made from the perceiver 's personal dispositions and a weighted average of the target individual 's characteristics . The differences among perceivers are due to people using themselves as a standard , or frame of reference , when judging or evaluating others . People also tend to view their own skills and traits to be favorable for others to also have . These impressions formed about others can also be influenced by the current , temporary mood of the perceiver . A concept called , priming also affects a perceiver 's impressions of others . Priming is the tendency for recently perceived or implemented concepts or words to come to mind easily and influence the understanding of the new information . Trait information also impacts people 's impressions of others , and psychologist Solomon Asch was the first to discover that the existence of one trait tends to indicate the existence of other traits . Asch claimed that there are central traits which are traits that exert a strong effect on the perceiver 's overall impressions . Lastly , the sequence in which a trait is realized can also influence the trait 's impact . Research shows that there is a tendency for information presented at the beginning of a sequence to have a greater effect on impressions than information presented later on , a concept called primacy effect . Implicit personality theory ( edit ) Implicit personality theory is a type of model people use to group various kinds of personality qualities together . Put in another way , implicit personality theories describe the way in which an observer uses the traits displayed by another person to form impressions about that other person . People pay attention to a variety of cues , including : visual , auditory , and verbal cues to predict and understand the personalities of others , in order to fill in the gap of the unknown information about a person , which assists with social interactions . Certain traits are seen as especially influential in the formation of an overall impression of an individual ; these are called central traits . Other traits are less influential in impression formation , and are called peripheral traits . Which traits are central or peripheral is not fixed , but can vary based on context . For instance , saying that a person is warm versus cold may have a central impact on an individual 's impression formation when paired with traits such as `` industrious '' and `` determined '' , but have a more peripheral impact when paired with traits such as `` shallow '' or `` vain '' . Kim and Rosenberg demonstrate that when forming impressions of others , individuals assess others on an evaluative dimension . Which is to say that , when asked to describe personality traits of others , individuals will rate others on a `` good - bad '' dimension . People 's implicit personality theories also include a number of other dimensions , such as a `` strong - weak '' dimension , an `` active - passive '' dimension , an `` attractive - unattractive '' dimension , etc . However , the evaluative `` good - bad '' dimension was the only one that universally appeared in people 's descriptions of others , while the other dimensions appeared in many , but not all , people 's assessments . Thus , the dimensions included in implicit personality theories on which others are rated vary from person to person , but the `` good - bad '' dimension appears to be part of all people 's implicit personality theories . Confirmation ( edit ) After making and integrating attributions , individuals form impressions that are subject to confirmation biases and the threat of a self - fulfilling prophecy . Competence as social perceivers ( edit ) It is true that people fall for the biases identified by social psychologists and for some biases that may have not yet been identified . Despite these misjudgments , there are four reasons that soundly prove people 's competence as social perceivers : People can more accurately perceive social behaviors and interactions when they have a greater history of experiences with the other people . People can make more circumscribed predictions of how other individuals will act when he or she is in their presence . Social perception skills can be improved through learning the rules of probability and logic . People can make more precise inferences about others when motivated by concerns for open - mindedness and accuracy . Factors that influence social perception ( edit ) Accuracy ( edit ) The accuracy of social perception relates to the connection between judgments people make of others ' psychological attributes , and the reality of those attributes with regards to the people being judged . There are three slightly varying approaches to interpreting accuracy the : pragmatic , constructivist , and realistic approaches . Empirical research suggests that social perception is mostly accurate , but the degree of accuracy is based on four major moderator variables . These moderators are attributes of the : judge , target , trait that is judged , and information on which the judgment is based . The Realistic Accuracy Model ( RAM ) explains that these moderators are a result of the process for accurate judgment . The process of accurate personality judgment starts with the target revealing relevant information , which then must be available to a judge , who then identifies and uses it to form a final judgment . Difficulties in accuracy research ( edit ) While accurate social perception is important , it has also been rather neglected . It is difficult to provide a set list of criteria that can be checked - off as accuracy can be subjective in nature . In the past , there was an assumption that people 's judgements were also considered erroneous and often mistaken . As such , many researchers have chosen to pursue other facets of research instead . It was not until these assumptions were proved incorrect through research and research methods became more sophisticated that genuine effort was put into analyzing accurate social perceptions . Testing ( edit ) TASIT ( The Awareness of Social Inference Test ) is an audiovisual test that In the past for the clinical assessment of social perception . The test is based upon several critical components of social perception that are crucial for social competence using complex , dynamic , visual , and auditory cues to assess these critical components . The test assesses the ability to identify emotions , a skill that is impaired in many clinical conditions . It also assesses the ability to judge what a speaker may be thinking or what their intentions are for the other person in the conversation , also referred to as theory of mind . Lastly , the test was developed to assess the ability to differentiate between literal and non-literal conversational remarks . The test is divided into three parts to measure ; emotion , social inference -- minimal , and social inference enriched . The test is composed of scenes , or vignettes , and those being assessed are asked to identify the emotions , a , feelings , beliefs , intentions , and meanings of the interactions . They are also assessed on more complex interactions to assess ability to interpret sarcasm . The results of this testing assess the level of social perception of an individual . TASIT has adequate psychometric properties as a clinical test of social perception . It is not overly prone to practice effects and is reliable for repeat administrations . Performance on TASIT is affected by information processing speed , working memory , new learning and executive functioning , but the uniquely social material that comprises the stimuli for TASIT will provide useful insights into the particular difficulties people with clinical conditions experience when interpreting complex social phenomena . Inaccuracy / Distortions ( edit ) Bias ( edit ) People are prone to numerous types of confirmation biases -- tendencies to construe , find , and formulate information in ways that prove existing opinions . Preconceived prejudices , stereotypes , and discrimination otherwise known as social biases can contribute towards these tendencies . People are also subject to exhibiting belief perseverance , the tendency to hold false convictions even after they have been disproved . Self ( edit ) Availability heuristic -- Tendency to place more importance and reliance on more immediate memories when evaluating specific topics , methods , concepts , or decisions . It is a mental shortcut that operates on the notion that if something can be recalled , then it must at least be as important as alternatives that are less easily recalled . Dunning -- Kruger effect -- An effect by which test takers fail to understand their poor performance because they suffer a double fault : A . ) Shortfall of knowledge prevents them from producing correct responses & B . ) Shortfall of knowledge prevents them from recognizing their lesser responses when compared to those of others . Overconfidence bias -- When one 's confidence in their ability is greater than their actual ability . Egocentric bias -- The tendency to rely too heavily on one 's own judgements and abilities , stemming partially from the need to satisfy one 's ego . Defensive attribution hypothesis -- Tendency of people to attribute more blame to the perpetrator of an accident as the consequences become more severe . However , if people perceive themselves to be more similar to the perpetrator characteristically or circumstantially they will rate the perpetrator as less culpable for the accident as the severity of consequences increase . If people perceive themselves as less similar they will rate the perpetrator as more culpable . Forer effect ( Barnum effect ) -- Placing high belief in a general , vague description thinking it was meant specifically for an individual . For instance , people interpret horoscopes as applying to their specific situation , when in actuality the horoscope was written to apply to a wide range of people 's experiences . Counterfactual thinking -- Tendency to think up alternative events or outcomes that might have happened , but did not . Belief perseverance -- Tendency to continue to maintain one 's beliefs despite firm contradictory information . Self - fulfilling prophecy -- Method by which an individual 's expectations about other individuals or themselves eventually cause actions in ways that confirm those expectations . Correspondence bias -- Tendency to draw inferences about a person 's characteristics from behaviors that could be explained by the situation alone . Group ( edit ) Status quo bias -- Tendency to favor current or certain circumstances because they are familiar . Any changes to these circumstances are perceived as a loss . Ingroup bias -- Tendency to favor one 's own group members and their actions over those of outsiders . Stereotyping -- Attributing traits to people based on certain traits of the group they are perceived to belong to . Interaction ( edit ) Halo effect -- Tendency for the observed overall impression of an individual to affect the observers feelings and thoughts about other attributes or traits of the individual . False - consensus effect -- Tendency for people to overestimate the magnitude to which people share their behaviors , opinions , and attributes . Base - rate fallacy -- Tendency to prefer specific information over Base rate or generic information . Psychological projection -- A defense mechanism people subconsciously use in order to grapple with challenging feelings or emotions by attributing them to others . This incorporates Blame shifting . Actor - Observer bias -- Tendency of those acting in a situation to blame their actions on the situation , while those observing have the tendency to place the blame on the actors .

-1038984062233955096 | Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness | Life , liberty and the pursuit of happiness - wikipedia Life , liberty and the pursuit of happiness Jump to : navigation , search This article is about a famous phrase . For other uses , see The Pursuit of Happiness . Office for Emergency Management . Office of War Information war poster 1941 -- 1945 `` Life , Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness '' is a well - known phrase in the United States Declaration of Independence . The phrase gives three examples of the `` unalienable rights '' which the Declaration says have been given to all human beings by their Creator , and which governments are created to protect . Contents ( hide ) 1 Origin and phrasing 1.1 Meaning of `` happiness '' 1.2 Lockean roots hypothesis 1.3 Virginia Declaration of Rights 1.4 Alternative hypotheses 2 Comparable mottos worldwide 3 References Origin and phrasing ( edit ) The United States Declaration of Independence was drafted by Thomas Jefferson , and then edited by the Committee of Five , which consisted of Jefferson , John Adams , Benjamin Franklin , Roger Sherman , and Robert Livingston . It was then further edited and adopted by the Committee of the Whole of the Second Continental Congress on July 4 , 1776 . The second paragraph of the first article in the Declaration of Independence contains the phrase `` Life , Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness '' . Jefferson 's `` original Rough draught '' is on exhibit in the Library of Congress . This version was used by Julian Boyd to create a transcript of Jefferson 's draft , which reads : We hold these truths to be sacred & undeniable ; that all men are created equal & independent , that from that equal creation they derive rights inherent & inalienable , among which are the preservation of life , & liberty , & the pursuit of happiness ; ... The Committee of Five edited Jefferson 's draft . Their version survived further edits by the whole Congress intact , and reads : We hold these truths to be self - evident , that all men are created equal , that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights , that among these are Life , Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness . -- -- A number of possible sources or inspirations for Jefferson 's use of the phrase in the Declaration of Independence have been identified , although scholars debate the extent to which any one of them actually influenced Jefferson . Jefferson declared himself an Epicurean during his lifetime : this is a philosophical doctrine that teaches the pursuit of happiness and proposes autarchy , which translates as self - rule , self - sufficiency or freedom . The greatest disagreement comes between those who suggest the phrase was drawn from John Locke and those who identify some other source . Meaning of `` happiness '' ( edit ) There is debate about what the word `` happiness '' may have meant in 1776 . Current usage focuses on pleasant , positive emotions and having needs satisfied , whereas in 1776 the common meaning may have been `` prosperity , thriving , wellbeing '' . Lockean roots hypothesis ( edit ) In 1689 , Locke argued in his Two Treatises of Government that political society existed for the sake of protecting `` property '' , which he defined as a person 's `` life , liberty , and estate '' . In A Letter Concerning Toleration , he wrote that the magistrate 's power was limited to preserving a person 's `` civil interest '' , which he described as `` life , liberty , health , and indolency of body ; and the possession of outward things '' . He declared in his Essay Concerning Human Understanding that `` the highest perfection of intellectual nature lies in a careful and constant pursuit of true and solid happiness '' . According to those scholars who saw the root of Jefferson 's thought in Locke 's doctrine , Jefferson replaced `` estate '' with `` the pursuit of happiness '' , although this does not mean that Jefferson meant the `` pursuit of happiness '' to refer primarily or exclusively to property . Under such an assumption , the Declaration of Independence would declare that government existed primarily for the reasons Locke gave , and some have extended that line of thinking to support a conception of limited government . Virginia Declaration of rights ( edit ) The first and second article of the Virginia Declaration of Rights , written by George Mason and adopted unanimously by the Virginia Convention of Delegates on June 12 , 1776 , speaks of happiness in the context of recognizably Lockean rights and is paradigmatic of the way in which `` the fundamental natural rights of mankind '' were expressed at the time . That all men are by nature equally free and independent and have certain inherent rights , of which , when they enter into a state of society , they can not , by any compact , deprive or divest their posterity ; namely , the enjoyment of life and liberty , with the means of acquiring and possessing property , and pursuing and obtaining happiness and safety . -- Virginia Declaration of Rights Benjamin Franklin was in agreement with Thomas Jefferson in downplaying protection of `` property '' as a goal of government . It is noted that Franklin found property to be a `` creature of society '' and thus , he believed that it should be taxed as a way to finance civil society . Alternative hypotheses ( edit ) In 1628 , Sir Edward Coke wrote in The First Part of the Institutes of the Lawes of England , his commentary on Thomas de Littleton , that `` It is commonly said that three things be favoured in Law , Life , Liberty , Dower . '' At common law , dower was closely guarded as a means by which the widow and orphan of a deceased landowner could keep their real property . Garry Wills has argued that Jefferson did not take the phrase from Locke and that it was indeed meant to be a standard by which governments should be judged . Wills suggests Adam Ferguson as a good guide to what Jefferson had in mind : If , in reality , courage and a heart devoted to the good of mankind are the constituents of human felicity , the kindness which is done infers a happiness in the person from whom it proceeds , not in him on whom it is bestowed ; and the greatest good which men possessed of fortitude and generosity can procure to their fellow creatures is a participation of this happy character . If this be the good of the individual , it is likewise that of mankind ; and virtue no longer imposes a task by which we are obliged to bestow upon others that good from which we ourselves refrain ; but supposes , in the highest degree , as possessed by ourselves , that state of felicity which we are required to promote in the world . -- Adam Ferguson , An Essay on the History of Civil Society The 17th - century cleric and philosopher Richard Cumberland wrote that promoting the well - being of our fellow humans is essential to the `` pursuit of our own happiness '' . Locke never associated natural rights with happiness , but his philosophical opponent Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz made such an association in the introduction to his Codex Iuris Gentium . William Wollaston 's The Religion of Nature Delineated describes the `` truest definition '' of `` natural religion '' as being `` The pursuit of happiness by the practice of reason and truth '' . An English translation of Jean - Jacques Burlamaqui 's Principles of Natural and Politic Law prepared in 1763 extolled the `` noble pursuit '' of `` true and solid happiness '' in the opening chapter discussing natural rights . Historian Jack Rakove posits Burlamaqui as the inspiration for Jefferson 's phrase . Comparable mottos worldwide ( edit ) Other tripartite mottos include `` liberté , égalité , fraternité '' ( liberty , equality , fraternity ) in France ; `` Einigkeit und Recht und Freiheit '' ( unity , justice and liberty ) in Germany and `` peace , order , and good government '' in Canada . It is also similar to a line in the Canadian Charter of Rights : `` life , liberty , security of the person '' ( this line was also in the older Canadian Bill of rights , which added `` enjoyment of property '' to the list ) . The phrase can also be found in Chapter III , Article 13 of the 1947 Constitution of Japan , and in President Ho Chi Minh 's 1945 declaration of independence of the Democratic Republic of Vietnam . An alternative phrase `` life , liberty , and property '' , is found in the Declaration of Colonial Rights , a resolution of the First Continental Congress . The Fifth Amendment and Fourteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution declare that governments can not deprive any person of `` life , liberty , or property '' without due process of law . Also , Article 3 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights reads , `` Everyone has the right to life , liberty , and security of person '' .

For portraying Escalante , Edward James Olmos was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Actor at the 61st Academy Awards . The film was added to the National Film Registry of the Library of Congress in 2011 . Contents ( hide ) 1 Plot 2 Cast 3 Historical accuracy 4 Accolades 5 Legacy 6 In popular culture 7 See also 8 References 9 External links Plot ( edit ) Escalante ( Olmos ) becomes a math teacher at James A. Garfield High School in East Los Angeles . The school is full of Hispanic students from working - class families who are far below their grade level in terms of academic skills and also have a lot of social problems . Escalante seeks to change the school culture to help the students excel in academics . He soon realizes the untapped potential of his class and sets a goal of having the students taking AP Calculus by their senior year . Escalante instructs his class under the philosophy of ganas , roughly translating to `` desire '' or `` motivation . '' The students begin taking summer classes in advanced mathematics with Escalante , who must withstand the cynicism of the other faculty , which feels that the students are not capable enough . As they struggle with the lower expectations that they face in society , Escalante helps them to overcome adversity and to pass the AP Calculus exams . To his dismay , the Educational Testing Service questions the success of the students , insisting there is too much overlap in their errors and suggesting the students cheated . Escalante defends his students and feels that the allegations are based more on racial and economic perceptions . He offers to have the students retake the test months later , and the students all succeed in passing the test again , despite only a day to prepare , which ends all concerns of cheating . Cast ( edit ) Edward James Olmos as Jaime Escalante Lou Diamond Phillips as Angel David Guzman Rosanna DeSoto as Fabiola Escalante Andy García as Dr. Ramirez Ingrid Oliu as Lupe Will Gotay as Pancho Lydia Nicole as Rafaela Fuentes Vanessa Marquez as Ana Delgado James Victor as Mr. Delgado , Ana 's father Estelle Harris as school secretary Historical accuracy ( edit ) Ten of the students agreed to sign waivers to allow the College Board their exam parts to Jay Mathews , the author of Escalante : The Best Teacher in America . Mathews found that nine of them had made `` identical silly mistakes '' on free response question 6 . Mathews heard from two of the students that during the exam , a piece of paper had been passed around with that flawed solution . Twelve students , including the nine with the identical mistakes , retook the exam , and most of them received the top 4 and 5 scores . In 1987 , 27 % of all Mexican Americans who scored 3 or higher on the calculus AP exam were students at Garfield High . Mathews wrote in Los Angeles Times that the Ana Delgado character `` was the only teenage character in the film based on a real person '' and that her name had been changed . Escalante first began teaching at Garfield High School in 1974 and taught his first AP Calculus course in 1978 with a group of 14 students . Only five students remained in the course at the end of the year , only two of whom passed the AP Calculus exam . Reason stated , `` Unlike the students in the movie , the real Garfield students required years of solid preparation before they could take calculus . So Escalante established a program at East Los Angeles College where students could take those classes in intensive seven - week summer sessions . Escalante and ( principal Henry ) Gradillas were also instrumental in getting the feeder schools to offer algebra in the eighth and ninth grades . Escalante himself described the film as `` 90 % truth , 10 % drama . '' He stated that several points were left out of the film . He pointed out that no student who did not know multiplication tables or fractions was ever taught calculus in a single year . Also , he suffered inflammation of the gall bladder , not a heart attack .

The Registry said the film was `` one of the most popular of a new wave of narrative feature films produced in the 1980s by Latino filmmakers '' and that it `` celebrates in a direct , approachable , and impactful way , values of self - betterment through hard work and power through knowledge . '' The film is recognized by American Film Institute in these lists : 2003 : AFI 's 100 Years ... 100 Heroes & Villains : Jaime A. Escalante -- Nominated Hero 2006 : AFI 's 100 Years ... 100 Cheers -- # 86 In popular culture ( edit ) The episode of South Park entitled `` Eek , a Penis ! '' borrows heavily from the plot of Stand and Deliver , with Cartman assuming a similar role to that played by Edward James Olmos , but in the film , the students were falsely accused of cheating . In the episode , the students actually cheated and got away with it . American senator Rand Paul ( R - KY ) was accused of plagiarizing near - verbatim portions of the plot summary from the Wikipedia article on Stand and Deliver in two speeches on immigration .

Ḳosṭanṭīnīye ) was the capital city of the Roman / Byzantine ( 330 -- 1204 and 1261 -- 1453 ) , and also of the brief Latin ( 1204 -- 1261 ) , and the later Ottoman ( 1453 -- 1923 ) empires . It was reinaugurated in 324 AD from ancient Byzantium as the new capital of the Roman Empire by Emperor Constantine the Great , after whom it was named , and dedicated on 11 May 330 AD . From the mid-5th century to the early 13th century , Constantinople was the largest and wealthiest city in Europe and it was instrumental in the advancement of Christianity during Roman and Byzantine times as the home of the Ecumenical Patriarch of Constantinople and as the guardian of Christendom 's holiest relics such as the Crown of Thorns and the True Cross . After the final loss of its provinces in the early 15th century , the Byzantine Empire was reduced to just Constantinople and its environs , along with Morea in Greece , and the city eventually fell to the Ottomans after a month - long siege in 1453 . Aerial view of Byzantine Constantinople and the Propontis ( Sea of Marmara ) Constantinople was famed for its massive and complex defences . Although besieged on numerous occasions by various peoples , the defences of Constantinople proved invulnerable for nearly nine hundred years before the city was taken in 1204 by the Crusader armies of the Fourth Crusade , and after it was liberated in 1261 by the Byzantine Emperor Michael VIII Palaiologos , a second and final time in 1453 when it was conquered by the Ottoman Sultan Mehmed II . The first wall of the city was erected by Constantine I , and surrounded the city on both land and sea fronts . Later , in the 5th century , the Praetorian Prefect Anthemius under the child emperor Theodosius II undertook the construction of the Theodosian Walls , which consisted of a double wall lying about 2 km ( 1.2 miles ) to the west of the first wall and a moat with palisades in front . This formidable complex of defences was one of the most sophisticated of Antiquity . The city was built intentionally to rival Rome , and it was claimed that several elevations within its walls matched the ' seven hills ' of Rome . Because it was located between the Golden Horn and the Sea of Marmara the land area that needed defensive walls was reduced , and this helped it to present an impregnable fortress enclosing magnificent palaces , domes , and towers , the result of the prosperity that was engendered by its being the gateway between two continents ( Europe and Asia ) and two seas ( the Mediterranean and the Black Sea ) . The city was also famed for its architectural masterpieces , such as the Greek Orthodox cathedral of Hagia Sophia , which served as the seat of the Ecumenical Patriarchate , the sacred Imperial Palace where the Emperors lived , the Galata Tower , the Hippodrome , the Golden Gate of the Land Walls , and the opulent aristocratic palaces lining the arcaded avenues and squares . The University of Constantinople was founded in the fifth century and contained numerous artistic and literary treasures before it was sacked in 1204 and 1453 , including its vast Imperial Library which contained the remnants of the Library of Alexandria and had over 100,000 volumes of ancient texts . Constantinople never truly recovered from the devastation of the Fourth Crusade and the decades of misrule by the Latins . Although the city partially recovered in the early years after the restoration under the Palaiologos dynasty , the advent of the Ottomans and the subsequent loss of the Imperial territories until it became an enclave inside the fledgling Ottoman Empire rendered the city severely depopulated when it fell to the Ottoman Turks , whereafter it replaced Edirne ( Adrianople ) as the new capital of the Ottoman Empire .

The site , according to the founding myth of the city , was abandoned by the time Greek settlers from the city - state of Megara founded Byzantium ( Greek : Βυζάντιον , Byzántion ) in around 657 BC , across from the town of Chalcedon on the Asiatic side of the Bosphorus . The origins of the name of Byzantion , more commonly known by the later Latin Byzantium , are not entirely clear , though some suggest it is of Thraco - Illyrian origin . The founding myth of the city has it told that the settlement was named after the leader of the Megarian colonists , Byzas . The later Byzantines of Constantinople themselves would maintain that the city was named in honour of two men , Byzas and Antes , though this was more likely just a play on the word Byzantion . The city was briefly renamed Augusta Antonina in the early 3rd century by the Emperor Septimius Severus ( 193 -- 211 ) , having razed the city to the ground in 196 AD for supporting a rival contender in the civil war and rebuilt , in honour of his son Antoninus , the later Emperor Caracalla . The name appears to have been quickly forgotten and abandoned , and the city reverted to Byzantium / Byzantion after either the assassination of Caracalla in 217 or , at the latest , the fall of the Severan dynasty in 235 . Names of Constantinople ( edit ) Main article : Names of Constantinople This huge keystone found in Çemberlitaş , Fatih may have belonged to a triumphal arch at the Forum of Constantine ; the forum was built by Constantine I in the quarter of modern - day Çemberlitaş . The Column of Constantine , built by Constantine I in 330 AD to commemorate the establishment of Constantinople as the new capital of the Roman Empire Byzantium took on the name of Konstantinoupolis ( `` city of Constantine '' , Constantinople ) after its re-foundation under Roman emperor Constantine I , who transferred the capital of the Roman Empire from Rome to Byzantium in 330 AD and designated his new capital officially as Nova Roma ( Νέα Ῥώμη ) ' New Rome ' . During this time , the city was also called ' Second Rome ' , ' Eastern Rome ' , and Roma Constantinopolitana . As the city became the sole remaining capital of the Roman Empire after the fall of the West , and its wealth , population , and influence grew , the city also came to have a multitude of nicknames . As the largest and wealthiest city in Europe during the 4th -- 13th centuries and a centre of culture and education of the Mediterranean basin , Constantinople came to be known by prestigious titles such as Basileuousa ( Queen of Cities ) and Megalopolis ( the Great City ) and was , in colloquial speech , commonly referred to as just Polis ( η πόλη ) ' the City ' by Constantinopolitans and provincial Byzantines alike . In the language of other peoples , Constantinople was referred to just as reverently . The medieval Vikings , who had contacts with the empire through their expansion in eastern Europe ( Varangians ) used the Old Norse name Miklagarðr ( from mikill ' big ' and garðr ' city ' ) , and later Miklagard and Miklagarth . In Arabic , the city was sometimes called Rūmiyyat al - kubra ( Great City of the Romans ) and in Persian as Takht - e Rum ( Throne of the Romans ) . In East and South Slavic languages , including in medieval Russia , Constantinople was referred to as Tsargrad ( Царьград ) or Carigrad , ' City of the Caesar ( Emperor ) ' , from the Slavonic words tsar ( ' Caesar ' or ' King ' ) and grad ( ' city ' ) . This was presumably a calque on a Greek phrase such as Βασιλέως Πόλις ( Vasileos Polis ) , ' the city of the emperor ( king ) ' . Modern names of the city ( edit ) The modern Turkish name for the city , İstanbul , derives from the Greek phrase eis tin polin ( εἰς τὴν πόλιν ) , meaning `` into the city '' or `` to the city '' . This name was used in Turkish alongside Kostantiniyye , the more formal adaptation of the original Constantinople , during the period of Ottoman rule , while western languages mostly continued to refer to the city as Constantinople until the early 20th century . In 1928 , the Turkish alphabet was changed from Arabic script to Latin script . After that , as part of the 1920s Turkification movement , Turkey started to urge other countries to use Turkish names for Turkish cities , instead of other transliterations to Latin script that had been used in the Ottoman times . In time the city came to be known as Istanbul and its variations in most world languages . The name `` Constantinople '' is still used by members of the Eastern Orthodox Church in the title of one of their most important leaders , the Orthodox patriarch based in the city , referred to as `` His Most Divine All - Holiness the Archbishop of Constantinople New Rome and Ecumenical Patriarch . '' In Greece today , the city is still called Konstantinoúpolis / Konstantinoúpoli ( Κωνσταντινούπολη / Κωνσταντινούπολις ) or simply just `` the City '' ( Η Πόλη / Η Πόλις ) . History ( edit ) C. 657 BC -- 324 AD : Byzantium and earlier settlements ( edit ) Main article : Byzantium Constantinople was founded by the Roman Emperor Constantine I ( 272 -- 337 AD ) in 324 on the site of an already - existing city , Byzantium , which was settled in the early days of Greek colonial expansion , in around 657 BC , by colonists of the city - state of Megara . This is the first major settlement that would develop on the site of later Constantinople , but the first known settlements was that of Lygos , referred to in Pliny 's Natural Histories , Apart from this , little is known about this initial settlement , except that it was abandoned by the time the Megarian colonists settled the site anew . The site , according to the founding myth of the city , was abandoned by the time Greek settlers from the city - state of Megara founded Byzantium ( Greek : Βυζάντιον , Byzántion ) in around 657 BC , ( 14 ) across from the town of Chalcedon on the Asiatic side of the Bosphorus . The city maintained independence as a city - state until it was annexed by Darius I in 512 BC into the Persian Empire , who saw the site as the optimal location to construct a pontoon bridge crossing into Europe as Byzantium was situated at the narrowest point in the Bosphorus strait . Persian rule lasted until 478 BC when as part of the Greek counterattack to the Second Persian Invasion of Greece , a Greek army led by the Spartan general Pausanias captured the city which remained an independent , yet subordinate , city under the Athenians , and later to the Spartans after 411 BC . A farsighted treaty with the emergent power of Rome in c. 150 BC which stipulated tribute in exchange for independent status allowed it to enter Roman rule unscathed . This treaty would pay dividends retrospectively as Byzantium would maintain this independent status , and prosper under peace and stability in the Pax Romana , for nearly three centuries until the late 2nd century AD . Byzantium was never a major influential city - state like that of Athens , Corinth , and Sparta , but the city enjoyed relative peace and steady growth as a prosperous trading city lent by its remarkable position . The site lay astride the land route from Europe to Asia and the seaway from the Black Sea to the Mediterranean , and had in the Golden Horn an excellent and spacious harbour . Already then , in Greek and early Roman times , Byzantium was famous for its strategic geographic position that made it difficult to besiege and capture , and its position at the crossroads of the Asiatic - European trade route over land and as the gateway between the Mediterranean and Black Seas made it too valuable a settlement to abandon , as Emperor Septimius Severus later realized when he razed the city to the ground for supporting Pescennius Niger 's claimancy . It was a move greatly criticized by the contemporary consul and historian Cassius Dio who said that Severus had destroyed `` a strong Roman outpost and a base of operations against the barbarians from Pontus and Asia '' . He would later rebuild Byzantium towards the end of his reign , in which it would be briefly renamed Augusta Antonina , fortifying it with a new city wall in his name , the Severan Wall . 324 -- 337 : foundation of Constantinople ( edit ) Emperor Constantine I presents a representation of the city of Constantinople as tribute to an enthroned Mary and Christ Child in this church mosaic . Hagia Sophia , c. 1000 Another coin struck by Constantine I in 330 -- 333 AD to commemorate the foundation of Constantinople and to also reaffirm Rome as the traditional centre of the Roman Empire . Coin struck by Constantine I to commemorate the founding of Constantinople Constantine had altogether more colourful plans . Having restored the unity of the Empire , and , being in the course of major governmental reforms as well as of sponsoring the consolidation of the Christian church , he was well aware that Rome was an unsatisfactory capital . Rome was too far from the frontiers , and hence from the armies and the imperial courts , and it offered an undesirable playground for disaffected politicians . Yet it had been the capital of the state for over a thousand years , and it might have seemed unthinkable to suggest that the capital be moved to a different location . Nevertheless , Constantine identified the site of Byzantium as the right place : a place where an emperor could sit , readily defended , with easy access to the Danube or the Euphrates frontiers , his court supplied from the rich gardens and sophisticated workshops of Roman Asia , his treasuries filled by the wealthiest provinces of the Empire . Constantinople was built over 6 years , and consecrated on 11 May 330 . Constantine divided the expanded city , like Rome , into 14 regions , and ornamented it with public works worthy of an imperial metropolis . Yet , at first , Constantine 's new Rome did not have all the dignities of old Rome . It possessed a proconsul , rather than an urban prefect . It had no praetors , tribunes , or quaestors . Although it did have senators , they held the title clarus , not clarissimus , like those of Rome . It also lacked the panoply of other administrative offices regulating the food supply , police , statues , temples , sewers , aqueducts , or other public works . The new programme of building was carried out in great haste : columns , marbles , doors , and tiles were taken wholesale from the temples of the empire and moved to the new city . In similar fashion , many of the greatest works of Greek and Roman art were soon to be seen in its squares and streets . The emperor stimulated private building by promising householders gifts of land from the imperial estates in Asiana and Pontica and on 18 May 332 he announced that , as in Rome , free distributions of food would be made to the citizens . At the time , the amount is said to have been 80,000 rations a day , doled out from 117 distribution points around the city . Constantine laid out a new square at the centre of old Byzantium , naming it the Augustaeum . The new senate - house ( or Curia ) was housed in a basilica on the east side . On the south side of the great square was erected the Great Palace of the Emperor with its imposing entrance , the Chalke , and its ceremonial suite known as the Palace of Daphne . Nearby was the vast Hippodrome for chariot - races , seating over 80,000 spectators , and the famed Baths of Zeuxippus . At the western entrance to the Augustaeum was the Milion , a vaulted monument from which distances were measured across the Eastern Roman Empire . From the Augustaeum led a great street , the Mese ( Greek : Μέση ( Οδός ) lit . `` Middle ( Street ) '' ) , lined with colonnades . As it descended the First Hill of the city and climbed the Second Hill , it passed on the left the Praetorium or law - court . Then it passed through the oval Forum of Constantine where there was a second Senate - house and a high column with a statue of Constantine himself in the guise of Helios , crowned with a halo of seven rays and looking toward the rising sun . From there , the Mese passed on and through the Forum Tauri and then the Forum Bovis , and finally up the Seventh Hill ( or Xerolophus ) and through to the Golden Gate in the Constantinian Wall . After the construction of the Theodosian Walls in the early 5th century , it was extended to the new Golden Gate , reaching a total length of seven Roman miles . 337 -- 529 : Constantinople during the migration period ( edit ) Theodosius I was the last Roman emperor who ruled over an undivided empire ( detail from the Obelisk at the Hippodrome of Constantinople ) . The importance of Constantinople increased , but it was gradual . From the death of Constantine in 337 to the accession of Theodosius I , emperors had been resident only in the years 337 - 8 , 347 -- 51 , 358 -- 61 , 368 -- 69 . Its status as a capital was recognized by the appointment of the first known Urban Prefect of the City Honoratus , who held office from 11 December 359 until 361 . The urban prefects had concurrent jurisdiction over three provinces each in the adjacent dioceses of Thrace ( in which the city was located ) , Pontus and Asia comparable to the 100 - mile extraordinary jurisdiction of the prefect of Rome . The emperor Valens , who hated the city and spent only one year there , nevertheless built the Palace of Hebdomon on the shore of the Propontis near the Golden Gate , probably for use when reviewing troops . All the emperors up to Zeno and Basiliscus were crowned and acclaimed at the Hebdomon . Theodosius I founded the Church of John the Baptist to house the skull of the saint ( today preserved at the Topkapı Palace ) , put up a memorial pillar to himself in the Forum of Taurus , and turned the ruined temple of Aphrodite into a coach house for the Praetorian Prefect ; Arcadius built a new forum named after himself on the Mese , near the walls of Constantine . After the shock of the Battle of Adrianople in 378 , in which the emperor Valens with the flower of the Roman armies was destroyed by the Visigoths within a few days ' march , the city looked to its defences , and in 413 -- 414 Theodosius II built the 18 - metre ( 60 - foot ) - tall triple - wall fortifications , which were not to be breached until the coming of gunpowder . Theodosius also founded a University near the Forum of Taurus , on 27 February 425 . Uldin , a prince of the Huns , appeared on the Danube about this time and advanced into Thrace , but he was deserted by many of his followers , who joined with the Romans in driving their king back north of the river . Subsequent to this , new walls were built to defend the city and the fleet on the Danube improved . After the barbarians overran the Western Roman Empire , Constantinople became the indisputable capital city of the Roman Empire . Emperors were no longer peripatetic between various court capitals and palaces . They remained in their palace in the Great City and sent generals to command their armies . The wealth of the eastern Mediterranean and western Asia flowed into Constantinople . 527 -- 565 : Constantinople in the Age of Justinian ( edit ) Map of Constantinople ( 1422 ) by Florentine cartographer Cristoforo Buondelmonti is the oldest surviving map of the city , and the only one that predates the Turkish conquest of the city in 1453 The current Hagia Sophia was commissioned by Emperor Justinian I after the previous one was destroyed in the Nika riots of 532 . It was converted into a mosque in 1453 when the Ottoman Empire commenced and became a museum in 1935 The emperor Justinian I ( 527 -- 565 ) was known for his successes in war , for his legal reforms and for his public works . It was from Constantinople that his expedition for the reconquest of the former Diocese of Africa set sail on or about 21 June 533 . Before their departure , the ship of the commander Belisarius was anchored in front of the Imperial palace , and the Patriarch offered prayers for the success of the enterprise . After the victory , in 534 , the Temple treasure of Jerusalem , looted by the Romans in 70 AD and taken to Carthage by the Vandals after their sack of Rome in 455 , was brought to Constantinople and deposited for a time , perhaps in the Church of St. Polyeuctus , before being returned to Jerusalem in either the Church of the Resurrection or the New Church . Chariot - racing had been important in Rome for centuries . In Constantinople , the hippodrome became over time increasingly a place of political significance . It was where ( as a shadow of the popular elections of old Rome ) the people by acclamation showed their approval of a new emperor , and also where they openly criticized the government , or clamoured for the removal of unpopular ministers . In the time of Justinian , public order in Constantinople became a critical political issue . Throughout the late Roman and early Byzantine periods , Christianity was resolving fundamental questions of identity , and the dispute between the orthodox and the monophysites became the cause of serious disorder , expressed through allegiance to the horse - racing parties of the Blues and the Greens . The partisans of the Blues and the Greens were said to affect untrimmed facial hair , head hair shaved at the front and grown long at the back , and wide - sleeved tunics tight at the wrist ; and to form gangs to engage in night - time muggings and street violence . At last these disorders took the form of a major rebellion of 532 , known as the `` Nika '' riots ( from the battle - cry of `` Victory ! '' of those involved ) . Fires started by the Nika rioters consumed Constantine 's basilica of Hagia Sophia ( Holy Wisdom ) , the city 's principal church , which lay to the north of the Augustaeum . Justinian commissioned Anthemius of Tralles and Isidore of Miletus to replace it with a new and incomparable Hagia Sophia . This was the great cathedral of the Orthodox Church , whose dome was said to be held aloft by God alone , and which was directly connected to the palace so that the imperial family could attend services without passing through the streets . The dedication took place on 26 December 537 in the presence of the emperor , who exclaimed , `` O Solomon , I have outdone thee ! '' Hagia Sophia was served by 600 people including 80 priests , and cost 20,000 pounds of gold to build . Justinian also had Anthemius and Isidore demolish and replace the original Church of the Holy Apostles built by Constantine with a new church under the same dedication . This was designed in the form of an equal - armed cross with five domes , and ornamented with beautiful mosaics . This church was to remain the burial place of the Emperors from Constantine himself until the 11th century . When the city fell to the Turks in 1453 , the church was demolished to make room for the tomb of Mehmet II the Conqueror . Justinian was also concerned with other aspects of the city 's built environment , legislating against the abuse of laws prohibiting building within 100 feet ( 30 m ) of the sea front , in order to protect the view . During Justinian I 's reign , the city 's population reached about 500,000 people . However , the social fabric of Constantinople was also damaged by the onset of the Plague of Justinian between 541 -- 542 AD . It killed perhaps 40 % of the city 's inhabitants . Restored section of the fortifications that protected Constantinople during the medieval period Survival , 565 -- 717 : Constantinople during the Byzantine Dark Ages ( edit ) In the early 7th century , the Avars and later the Bulgars overwhelmed much of the Balkans , threatening Constantinople with attack from the west . Simultaneously , the Persian Sassanids overwhelmed the Prefecture of the East and penetrated deep into Anatolia . Heraclius , son of the exarch of Africa , set sail for the city and assumed the purple . He found the military situation so dire that he is said to have contemplated withdrawing the imperial capital to Carthage , but relented after the people of Constantinople begged him to stay . The citizens lost their right to free grain in 618 when Heraclius realised that the city could no longer be supplied from Egypt as a result of the Persian wars : the population fell substantially as a result . While the city withstood a siege by the Sassanids and Avars in 626 , Heraclius campaigned deep into Persian territory and briefly restored the status quo in 628 , when the Persians surrendered all their conquests . However , further sieges followed the Arab conquests , first from 674 to 678 and then in 717 to 718 . The Theodosian Walls kept the city impregnable from the land , while a newly discovered incendiary substance known as Greek Fire allowed the Byzantine navy to destroy the Arab fleets and keep the city supplied . In the second siege , the second ruler of Bulgaria , Khan Tervel , rendered decisive help . He was called Saviour of Europe . 717 -- 1025 : Constantinople during the macedonian Renaissance ( edit ) Emperor Leo VI ( 886 -- 912 ) adoring Jesus Christ . Mosaic above the Imperial Gate in the Hagia Sophia . In the 730s Leo III carried out extensive repairs of the Theodosian walls , which had been damaged by frequent and violent attacks ; this work was financed by a special tax on all the subjects of the Empire . Theodora , widow of the Emperor Theophilus ( died 842 ) , acted as regent during the minority of her son Michael III , who was said to have been introduced to dissolute habits by her brother Bardas . When Michael assumed power in 856 , he became known for excessive drunkenness , appeared in the hippodrome as a charioteer and burlesqued the religious processions of the clergy . He removed Theodora from the Great Palace to the Carian Palace and later to the monastery of Gastria , but , after the death of Bardas , she was released to live in the palace of St Mamas ; she also had a rural residence at the Anthemian Palace , where Michael was assassinated in 867 . In 860 , an attack was made on the city by a new principality set up a few years earlier at Kiev by Askold and Dir , two Varangian chiefs : Two hundred small vessels passed through the Bosporus and plundered the monasteries and other properties on the suburban Prince 's Islands . Oryphas , the admiral of the Byzantine fleet , alerted the emperor Michael , who promptly put the invaders to flight ; but the suddenness and savagery of the onslaught made a deep impression on the citizens . In 980 , the emperor Basil II received an unusual gift from Prince Vladimir of Kiev : 6,000 Varangian warriors , which Basil formed into a new bodyguard known as the Varangian Guard . They were known for their ferocity , honour , and loyalty . It is said that , in 1038 , they were dispersed in winter quarters in the Thracesian theme when one of their number attempted to violate a countrywoman , but in the struggle she seized his sword and killed him ; instead of taking revenge , however , his comrades applauded her conduct , compensated her with all his possessions , and exposed his body without burial as if he had committed suicide . However , following the death of an Emperor , they became known also for plunder in the Imperial palaces . Later in the 11th Century the Varangian Guard became dominated by Anglo - Saxons who preferred this way of life to subjugation by the new Norman kings of England . The Book of the Eparch , which dates to the 10th century , gives a detailed picture of the city 's commercial life and its organization at that time . The corporations in which the tradesmen of Constantinople were organised were supervised by the Eparch , who regulated such matters as production , prices , import , and export . Each guild had its own monopoly , and tradesmen might not belong to more than one . It is an impressive testament to the strength of tradition how little these arrangements had changed since the office , then known by the Latin version of its title , had been set up in 330 to mirror the urban prefecture of Rome . In the 9th and 10th centuries , Constantinople had a population of between 500,000 and 800,000 . Iconoclast controversy in Constantinople ( edit ) In the 8th and 9th centuries , the iconoclast movement caused serious political unrest throughout the Empire . The emperor Leo III issued a decree in 726 against images , and ordered the destruction of a statue of Christ over one of the doors of the Chalke , an act that was fiercely resisted by the citizens . Constantine V convoked a church council in 754 , which condemned the worship of images , after which many treasures were broken , burned , or painted over with depictions of trees , birds or animals : One source refers to the church of the Holy Virgin at Blachernae as having been transformed into a `` fruit store and aviary '' . Following the death of her son Leo IV in 780 , the empress Irene restored the veneration of images through the agency of the Second Council of Nicaea in 787 . The iconoclast controversy returned in the early 9th century , only to be resolved once more in 843 during the regency of Empress Theodora , who restored the icons . These controversies contributed to the deterioration of relations between the Western and the Eastern Churches . 1025 -- 1081 : Constantinople after Basil II ( edit ) In the late 11th century catastrophe struck with the unexpected and calamitous defeat of the imperial armies at the Battle of Manzikert in Armenia in 1071 . The Emperor Romanus Diogenes was captured . The peace terms demanded by Alp Arslan , sultan of the Seljuk Turks , were not excessive , and Romanus accepted them . On his release , however , Romanus found that enemies had placed their own candidate on the throne in his absence ; he surrendered to them and suffered death by torture , and the new ruler , Michael VII Ducas , refused to honour the treaty . In response , the Turks began to move into Anatolia in 1073 . The collapse of the old defensive system meant that they met no opposition , and the empire 's resources were distracted and squandered in a series of civil wars . Thousands of Turkoman tribesmen crossed the unguarded frontier and moved into Anatolia . By 1080 , a huge area had been lost to the Empire , and the Turks were within striking distance of Constantinople . 1081 -- 1185 : Constantinople under the Comneni ( edit ) The Byzantine Empire under Manuel I , c. 1180 12th century mosaic from the upper gallery of the Hagia Sophia , Constantinople . Emperor John II ( 1118 -- 1143 ) is shown on the left , with the Virgin Mary and infant Jesus in the centre , and John 's consort Empress Irene on the right . Under the Comnenian dynasty ( 1081 -- 1185 ) , Byzantium staged a remarkable recovery . In 1090 -- 91 , the nomadic Pechenegs reached the walls of Constantinople , where Emperor Alexius I with the aid of the Kipchaks annihilated their army . In response to a call for aid from Alexius , the First Crusade assembled at Constantinople in 1096 , but declining to put itself under Byzantine command set out for Jerusalem on its own account . John II built the monastery of the Pantocrator ( Almighty ) with a hospital for the poor of 50 beds . With the restoration of firm central government , the empire became fabulously wealthy . The population was rising ( estimates for Constantinople in the 12th century vary from some 100,000 to 500,000 ) , and towns and cities across the realm flourished . Meanwhile , the volume of money in circulation dramatically increased . This was reflected in Constantinople by the construction of the Blachernae palace , the creation of brilliant new works of art , and general prosperity at this time : an increase in trade , made possible by the growth of the Italian city - states , may have helped the growth of the economy . It is certain that the Venetians and others were active traders in Constantinople , making a living out of shipping goods between the Crusader Kingdoms of Outremer and the West , while also trading extensively with Byzantium and Egypt . The Venetians had factories on the north side of the Golden Horn , and large numbers of westerners were present in the city throughout the 12th century . Toward the end of Manuel I Komnenos 's reign , the number of foreigners in the city reached about 60,000 -- 80,000 people out of a total population of about 400,000 people . In 1171 , Constantinople also contained a small community of 2,500 Jews . In 1182 , all Latin ( Western European ) inhabitants of Constantinople were massacred . In artistic terms , the 12th century was a very productive period . There was a revival in the mosaic art , for example : Mosaics became more realistic and vivid , with an increased emphasis on depicting three - dimensional forms . There was an increased demand for art , with more people having access to the necessary wealth to commission and pay for such work . According to N.H. Baynes ( Byzantium , An Introduction to East Roman Civilization ) : `` With its love of luxury and passion for colour , the art of this age delighted in the production of masterpieces that spread the fame of Byzantium throughout the whole of the Christian world . Beautiful silks from the workshops of Constantinople also portrayed in dazzling colour animals -- lions , elephants , eagles , and griffins -- confronting each other , or represented Emperors gorgeously arrayed on horseback or engaged in the chase . '' `` From the tenth to the twelfth century Byzantium was the main source of inspiration for the West . By their style , arrangement , and iconography the mosaics of St. Mark 's at Venice and of the cathedral at Torcello clearly reveal their Byzantine origin . Similarly those of the Palatine Chapel , the Martorana at Palermo , and the cathedral of Cefalù , together with the vast decoration of the cathedral at Monreale , demonstrate the influence of Byzantium on the Norman Court of Sicily in the twelfth century . Hispano - Moorish art was unquestionably derived from the Byzantine . Romanesque art owes much to the East , from which it borrowed not only its decorative forms but the plan of some of its buildings , as is proved , for instance , by the domed churches of south - western France . Princes of Kiev , Venetian doges , abbots of Monte Cassino , merchants of Amalfi , and the kings of Sicily all looked to Byzantium for artists or works of art . Such was the influence of Byzantine art in the twelfth century , that Russia , Venice , southern Italy and Sicily all virtually became provincial centres dedicated to its production .

( May 2017 ) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message ) The Entry of the Crusaders into Constantinople , by Eugène Delacroix , 1840 . The Latin Empire , Empire of Nicaea , Empire of Trebizond , and the Despotate of Epirus . The borders are very uncertain On 25 July 1197 , Constantinople was struck by a severe fire which burned the Latin Quarter and the area around the Gate of the Droungarios ( Turkish : Odun Kapısı ) on the Golden Horn . Nevertheless , the destruction wrought by the 1197 fire paled in comparison with that brought by the Crusaders . In the course of a plot between Philip of Swabia , Boniface of Montferrat and the Doge of Venice , the Fourth Crusade was , despite papal excommunication , diverted in 1203 against Constantinople , ostensibly promoting the claims of Alexius , son of the deposed emperor Isaac . The reigning emperor Alexius III had made no preparation . The Crusaders occupied Galata , broke the defensive chain protecting the Golden Horn and entered the harbour , where on 27 July they breached the sea walls : Alexius III fled . But the new Alexius IV found the Treasury inadequate , and was unable to make good the rewards he had promised to his western allies . Tension between the citizens and the Latin soldiers increased . In January 1204 , the protovestiarius Alexius Murzuphlus provoked a riot , it is presumed , to intimidate Alexius IV , but whose only result was the destruction of the great statue of Athena , the work of Phidias , which stood in the principal forum facing west . In February , the people rose again : Alexius IV was imprisoned and executed , and Murzuphlus took the purple as Alexius V. He made some attempt to repair the walls and organise the citizenry , but there had been no opportunity to bring in troops from the provinces and the guards were demoralised by the revolution . An attack by the Crusaders on 6 April failed , but a second from the Golden Horn on 12 April succeeded , and the invaders poured in . Alexius V fled . The Senate met in Hagia Sophia and offered the crown to Theodore Lascaris , who had married into the Angelid family , but it was too late . He came out with the Patriarch to the Golden Milestone before the Great Palace and addressed the Varangian Guard . Then the two of them slipped away with many of the nobility and embarked for Asia . By the next day the Doge and the leading Franks were installed in the Great Palace , and the city was given over to pillage for three days . Sir Steven Runciman , historian of the Crusades , wrote that the sack of Constantinople is `` unparalleled in history '' . `` For nine centuries , '' he goes on , `` the great city had been the capital of Christian civilisation . It was filled with works of art that had survived from ancient Greece and with the masterpieces of its own exquisite craftsmen . The Venetians ... seized treasures and carried them off to adorn ... their town . But the Frenchmen and Flemings were filled with a lust for destruction . They rushed in a howling mob down the streets and through the houses , snatching up everything that glittered and destroying whatever they could not carry , pausing only to murder or to rape , or to break open the wine - cellars ... Neither monasteries nor churches nor libraries were spared . In Hagia Sophia itself , drunken soldiers could be seen tearing down the silken hangings and pulling the great silver iconostasis to pieces , while sacred books and icons were trampled under foot . While they drank merrily from the altar - vessels a prostitute set herself on the Patriarch 's throne and began to sing a ribald French song . Nuns were ravished in their convents . Palaces and hovels alike were entered and wrecked . Wounded women and children lay dying in the streets . For three days the ghastly scenes ... continued , till the huge and beautiful city was a shambles ... When ... order was restored , ... citizens were tortured to make them reveal the goods that they had contrived to hide . For the next half - century , Constantinople was the seat of the Latin Empire . Under the rulers of the Latin Empire , the city declined , both in population and the condition of its buildings . Alice - Mary Talbot cites an estimated population for Constantinople of 400,000 inhabitants ; after the destruction wrought by the Crusaders on the city , about one third were homeless , and numerous courtiers , nobility , and higher clergy , followed various leading personages into exile . `` As a result Constantinople became seriously depopulated , '' Talbot concludes . The Latins took over at least 20 churches and 13 monasteries , most prominently the Hagia Sophia , which became the cathedral of the Latin Patriarch of Constantinople . It is to these that E.H. Swift attributed the construction of a series of flying buttresses to shore up the walls of the church , which had been weakened over the centuries by earthquake tremors . However , this act of maintenance is an exception : for the most part , the Latin occupiers were too few to maintain all of the buildings , either secular and sacred , and many became targets for vandalism or dismantling . Bronze and lead were removed from the roofs of abandoned buildings and melted down and sold to provide money to the chronically under - funded Empire for defense and to support the court ; Deno John Geanokoplos writes that `` it may well be that a division is suggested here : Latin laymen stripped secular buildings , ecclesiastics , the churches . '' Buildings were not the only targets of officials looking to raise funds for the impoverished Latin Empire : the monumental sculptures which adorned the Hippodrome and fora of the city were pulled down and melted for coinage . `` Among the masterpieces destroyed , writes Talbot , `` were a Herakles attributed to the fourth - century B.C. sculptor Lysippos , and monumental figures of Hera , Paris , and Helen . '' The Nicaean emperor John III Vatatzes reportedly saved several churches from being dismantled for their valuable building materials ; by sending money to the Latins `` to buy them off '' ( exonesamenos ) , he prevented the destruction of several churches . According to Talbot , these included the churches of Blachernae , Rouphinianai , and St. Michael at Anaplous . He also granted funds for the restoration of the Church of the Holy Apostles , which had been seriously damaged in an earthquake . The Byzantine nobility scattered , many going to Nicaea , where Theodore Lascaris set up an imperial court , or to Epirus , where Theodore Angelus did the same ; others fled to Trebizond , where one of the Comneni had already with Georgian support established an independent seat of empire . Nicaea and Epirus both vied for the imperial title , and tried to recover Constantinople . In 1261 , Constantinople was captured from its last Latin ruler , Baldwin II , by the forces of the Nicaean emperor Michael VIII Palaiologos . 1261 -- 1453 : palaiologan era and the fall of Constantinople ( edit ) See also : Byzantine Empire under the Palaiologos dynasty and Fall of Constantinople Mehmed the Conqueror enters Constantinople , painting by Fausto Zonaro Although Constantinople was retaken by Michael VIII Palaiologos , the Empire had lost many of its key economic resources , and struggled to survive . The palace of Blachernae in the north - west of the city became the main Imperial residence , with the old Great Palace on the shores of the Bosporus going into decline . When Michael VIII captured the city , its population was 35,000 people , but , by the end of his reign , he had succeeded in increasing the population to about 70,000 people . The Emperor achieved this by summoning former residents who had fled the city when the crusaders captured it , and by relocating Greeks from the recently reconquered Peloponnese to the capital . In 1347 , the Black Death spread to Constantinople . In 1453 , when the Ottoman Turks captured the city , it contained approximately 50,000 people . Constantinople was conquered by the Ottoman Empire on 29 May 1453 . The Ottomans were commanded by 22 - year - old Ottoman Sultan Mehmed II . The conquest of Constantinople followed a seven - week siege that had begun on 6 April 1453 . 1453 -- 1922 : Ottoman Kostantiniyye ( edit ) Main article : Constantinople during the Ottoman era The Christian Orthodox city of Constantinople was now under Ottoman control . When Mehmed II finally entered Constantinople through what is now known as the Topkapi Gate , he immediately rode his horse to the Hagia Sophia , where he ordered his soldiers to stop hacking at the marbles and ' be satisfied with the booty and captives ; as for all the buildings , they belonged to him ' . He ordered that an imam meet him there in order to chant the adhan thus transforming the Orthodox cathedral into a Muslim mosque , solidifying Islamic rule in Constantinople . Mehmed 's main concern with Constantinople had to do with rebuilding the city 's defenses and population . Building projects were commenced immediately after the conquest , which included the repair of the walls , construction of the citadel , and building a new palace . Mehmed issued orders across his empire that Muslims , Christians , and Jews should resettle the city ; he demanded that five thousand households needed to be transferred to Constantinople by September . From all over the Islamic empire , prisoners of war and deported people were sent to the city : these people were called `` Sürgün '' in Turkish ( Greek : σουργούνιδες ) . Two centuries later , Ottoman traveler Evliya Çelebi gave a list of groups introduced into the city with their respective origins . Even today , many quarters of Istanbul , such as Aksaray , Çarşamba , bear the names of the places of origin of their inhabitants . However , many people escaped again from the city , and there were several outbreaks of plague , so that in 1459 Mehmet allowed the deported Greeks to come back to the city . Importance ( edit ) Eagle and Snake , 6th century mosaic flooring Constantinople , Grand Imperial Palace . Culture ( edit ) Constantinople was the largest and richest urban center in the Eastern Mediterranean Sea during the late Eastern Roman Empire , mostly as a result of its strategic position commanding the trade routes between the Aegean Sea and the Black Sea . It would remain the capital of the eastern , Greek - speaking empire for over a thousand years . At its peak , roughly corresponding to the Middle Ages , it was the richest and largest European city , exerting a powerful cultural pull and dominating economic life in the Mediterranean . Visitors and merchants were especially struck by the beautiful monasteries and churches of the city , in particular , Hagia Sophia , or the Church of Holy Wisdom : A Russian 14th - century traveler , Stephen of Novgorod , wrote , `` As for Hagia Sophia , the human mind can neither tell it nor make description of it . '' It was especially important for preserving in its libraries manuscripts of Greek and Latin authors throughout a period when instability and disorder caused their mass - destruction in western Europe and north Africa : On the city 's fall , thousands of these were brought by refugees to Italy , and played a key part in stimulating the Renaissance , and the transition to the modern world . The cumulative influence of the city on the west , over the many centuries of its existence , is incalculable . In terms of technology , art and culture , as well as sheer size , Constantinople was without parallel anywhere in Europe for a thousand years . Armenians , Syrians , Slavs and Georgians were part of the Byzantine social hierarchy . International status ( edit ) Constantinople 's monumental center . The city provided a defence for the eastern provinces of the old Roman Empire against the barbarian invasions of the 5th century . The 18 - meter - tall walls built by Theodosius II were , in essence , impregnable to the barbarians coming from south of the Danube river , who found easier targets to the west rather than the richer provinces to the east in Asia . From the 5th century , the city was also protected by the Anastasian Wall , a 60 - kilometer chain of walls across the Thracian peninsula . Many scholars argue that these sophisticated fortifications allowed the east to develop relatively unmolested while Ancient Rome and the west collapsed . Constantinople 's fame was such that it was described even in contemporary Chinese histories , the Old and New Book of Tang , which mentioned its massive walls and gates as well as a purported clepsydra mounted with a golden statue of a man . The Chinese histories even related how the city had been besieged in the 7th century by Muawiyah I and how he exacted tribute in a peace settlement . Architecture ( edit ) Main article : Byzantine architecture Interior view of the Hagia Sophia , currently a museum . The Byzantine Empire used Roman and Greek architectural models and styles to create its own unique type of architecture . The influence of Byzantine architecture and art can be seen in the copies taken from it throughout Europe . Particular examples include St Mark 's Basilica in Venice , the basilicas of Ravenna , and many churches throughout the Slavic East . Also , alone in Europe until the 13th - century Italian florin , the Empire continued to produce sound gold coinage , the solidus of Diocletian becoming the bezant prized throughout the Middle Ages . Its city walls were much imitated ( for example , see Caernarfon Castle ) and its urban infrastructure was moreover a marvel throughout the Middle Ages , keeping alive the art , skill and technical expertise of the Roman Empire . In the Ottoman period Islamic architecture and symbolism were used . Religion ( edit ) Constantine 's foundation gave prestige to the Bishop of Constantinople , who eventually came to be known as the Ecumenical Patriarch , and made it a prime center of Christianity alongside Rome . This contributed to cultural and theological differences between Eastern and Western Christianity eventually leading to the Great Schism that divided Western Catholicism from Eastern Orthodoxy from 1054 onwards . Constantinople is also of great religious importance to Islam , as the conquest of Constantinople is one of the signs of the End time in Islam . Popular culture ( edit ) Page depicting Constantinople in the Nuremberg Chronicle published in 1493 , forty years after the city 's fall to the Muslims Constantinople appears as a city of wondrous majesty , beauty , remoteness , and nostalgia in William Butler Yeats ' 1928 poem `` Sailing to Byzantium . '' Constantinople , as seen under the Byzantine emperor Theodosius II , makes several on - screen appearances in the television miniseries `` Attila '' as the capital of the Eastern Roman Empire . Finnish author Mika Waltari wrote one of his most - acclaimed historical novels , Johannes Angelos ( published in English by name `` The Dark Angel '' ) on the fall of Constantinople . Robert Graves , author of I , Claudius , also wrote Count Belisarius , a historical novel about Belisarius . Graves set much of the novel in the Constantinople of Justinian I . Constantinople provides the setting of much of the action in Umberto Eco 's 2000 novel Baudolino . The name Constantinople was made easy to spell thanks to a novelty song , `` C-O-N-S-T-A-N-T-I-N-O-P-L-E , '' written by Harry Carlton and performed by Paul Whiteman and his Orchestra , in the 1920s . Constantinople 's change of name was the theme for a song made famous by The Four Lads and later covered by They Might Be Giants and many others , titled `` Istanbul ( Not Constantinople ) . '' `` Constantinople '' was one of the `` big words '' the Father knows toward the end of Dr. Seuss 's book , Hop on Pop . ( The other was Timbuktu . ) `` Constantinople '' was also the title of the opening edit of The Residents ' EP Duck Stab ! , released in 1978 . Queen 's Roger Meddows Taylor included the track `` Interlude in Constantinople '' on Side 2 of his debut album Fun in Space . A Montreal - based folk / classical / fusion band calls itself `` Constantinople . '' Constantinople under Justinian is the scene of the book A Flame in Byzantium ( ISBN 0 - 312 - 93026 - 7 ) by Chelsea Quinn Yarbro , released in 1987 . `` Constantinople '' is the title of a song by The Decemberists . Stephen Lawhead 's novel Byzantium ( 1996 ) is set in 9th - century Constantinople . Folk Metal band Turisas makes multiple references to Constantinople in their song `` Miklagard Overture , '' referring to it as `` Konstantinopolis , '' `` Tsargrad , '' and `` Miklagard . '' Constantinople makes an appearance in the MMORPG game Silkroad as a major capital , along with a major Chinese capital . Constantinople makes an appearance in the `` Rome Total War '' expansion `` Barbarian Invasion '' belonging to the Eastern Roman Empire . It would reappear in the same role for the spiritual sequel , Total War : Attila . Constantinople also makes an appearance in `` Medieval Total War . '' It is a starting province and city of the Byzantines . Constantinople makes an appearance in the game `` Age of Empires II : The Age of Kings '' in the fifth scenario of the Barbarossa campaign and again in the third scenario of the Attila the Hun campaign in the expansion pack `` Age of Empires II : The Conquerors Expansion . '' Constantinople is the main setting of the game `` Assassin 's Creed : Revelations , '' the fourth major title in the best - selling `` Assassin 's Creed '' series .

"Constantinople (Greek: Κωνσταντινούπολις Konstantinoúpolis or Κωνσταντινούπολη Konstantinoúpoli; Latin: Constantinopolis; Ottoman Turkish: قسطنطینية, translit. Ḳosṭanṭīnīye) was the capital city of the Roman/Byzantine (330–1204 and 1261–1453), and also of the brief Latin (1204–1261), and the later Ottoman (1453–1923) empires. It was reinaugurated in 324 AD from ancient Byzantium as the new capital of the Roman Empire by Emperor Constantine the Great, after whom it was named, and dedicated on 11 May 330 AD.[5]"

For other uses , see Rops ( disambiguation ) . A rollover protection system or rollover protection structure ( ROPS ) ( / roʊps / or / ˌɑːroʊpiˈɛs / ) is a system or structure intended to protect equipment operators and motorists from injuries caused by vehicle overturns or rollovers . Like rollcages and rollbars in cars and trucks , a ROPS involves bars attached to the frame that maintain a space for the operator 's body in the event of rollover . Unimog fire engine with roll over protection structures ROPS bar on a Fordson tractor . Roll over protection structure on an MF 135 . Photo : K.A. Gallis . Commonly found on heavy equipment ( i.e. tractors ) , earth - moving machinery and UTVs used in construction , agriculture and mining , ROPS structures are defined by various regulatory agencies , including the US Occupational Safety and Health Administration ( OSHA ) . The regulations include both a strength requirement as well as an energy absorption requirement of the structure . Some dump trucks add a protrusion to their boxes that cover the operator 's compartment for ROPS purposes . ROPS are commonly fitted to 4x4 's , pickup trucks , earth moving equipment , soil compactors and utes used in the mining industry . Products such as this were developed out of necessity so employees travelling around or within mine sites were provided with extra protection in the event of a fleet vehicle roll over . In the US , ROPS designs have to be certified by a Professional Engineer , who will normally require a destructive test . The structure will be tested at a reduced temperature ( where the metal is more brittle ) , or fabricated from materials that have satisfactory low temperature performance . In Australia and most other countries , the International Organization for Standardization has guidelines for destructively testing ROPS structures on earthmoving machinery , excavators , forestry equipment and tractors . Theoretical performance analysis of major new design ROPS is not permitted as an alternative to physical testing .

In response , NIOSH developed an Automatically Deploying Rollover Protective Structure ( AutoROPS ) which stays in a lowered position until a rollover condition is determined , at which time it deploys to a fully extended and locked position . It is currently working with manufacturers to streamline the commercialization of this technology . The Division of Safety Research branch of NIOSH has developed cost - effective rollover protection structures ( CROPS ) for four tractor models ( Ford 8N , Ford 3000 , Ford 4000 , Massey Ferguson 135 ) , in an effort to provide safety for older model tractors . Some automobile models have begun to adopt the phrase , substituting system for structure in the ROPS acronym , notably the Volvo C70 convertible models , and Jaguar XK . Their ROPS structures consist of two pyrotechnically charged roll hoops hidden behind the rear seats that will pop up in the case of a roll - over to protect the occupants . If the roof is up , the system will still work , shattering the rear window at the same time . History ( edit ) Rollover injury and fatality ( edit ) Tractor rollover has become one of the leading causes of occupational death in the agricultural industry . In the United States from 1992 to 2005 , 1,412 workers were killed from tractor rollover , with roughly 10,000 suffering an injury . These rollover fatalities represented about 20 % of all agricultural fatalities . During 2003 to 2010 , 933 workers in agriculture , forestry , fishing and hunting industries were killed as a result of tractor rollover , accounting for over 63 % of all tractor - related deaths . The National Safety Council estimates that between 150 and 200 tractor operators are killed due to rollover in the U.S. each year . Researchers have also attempted to estimate the chances that a tractor rollover will result in a fatality of the operator . An adjusted probability of about 8 deaths per 100 tractor overturns ( 8 % ) was extrapolated using data from the Kentucky Fatality Assessment and Control Evaluation ( FACE ) Program . Furthermore , youth are particularly at risk of being crushed or pinned by a machine ( all - terrain vehicle , tractor , etc . ) that is not equipped with a rollover bar . All - terrain vehicles and tractors continue to be leading causes of fatal injury among youth in agricultural settings . The installation of Rollover Protective Structures ( ROPS ) on older tractors that lack these protective devices has been identified as a viable solution for reducing overturn fatality rates among U.S. farmers . When worn with a seat belt , these engineering controls are 99 % effective in preventing operator death if an overturn occurs . The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health ( USA ) estimates that fatality rates from tractor overturns in the U.S. could be reduced by a minimum of 71 % if all tractors were equipped with ROPS . When paired with proper seat belt use on tractors , NIOSH estimates that ROPS could eliminate nearly all fatalities caused by tractor and lawn mower overturns . Without a seat belt , the ROPS is still 70 % effective in preventing operator death , though there is a possibility that the rider may be thrown from the tractor during the overturn , and thus left unprotected by the ROPS . Usage rates ( edit ) Research from Sweden shows that the fatality rate from tractor rollover remains stable when ROPS prevalence rates range from 40 % to 75 % ; only until the rate of ROPS adoption reaches 75 % to 80 % does the fatality rate from rollover fall significantly , to near - zero . The latest estimates of tractors equipped with ROPS in the United States show that 59 % of tractors were ROPS - equipped in 2006 , an increase from the 38 % in 1993 . With steady increases in the installation of ROPS , it is projected that the rollover fatality rate will decline steadily , until reaching a rate near zero by 2028 . ROPS usage has also appeared to be linked to a number of factors . There is regional variation in ROPS usage within the United States , as estimates from 2006 showed that tractor operators in the South had the highest prevalence of ROPS usage at 65 % , while the Northeast had the lowest prevalence of ROPS usage at 51 % . The West and Midwest reported rates of 60 % and 56 % respectively . Age of tractor operator is a large risk factor , as increasing age is associated with decreasing rates of ROPS usage . The oldest group of tractor operators , those ages 65 and above , have the lowest rate of overall ROPS usage at 42 % . Additionally , older tractor operators are more likely to suffer fatality and severe injury outcomes following tractor rollover than younger operators . Along with the age of the tractor operator , the age of the tractor itself is a risk factor . Older tractor models are less likely to be equipped with ROPS , possibly owing to impracticality in installation or to mandated installations in newer models . Further , older tractors are more dangerous than newer tractors , possessing narrow front ends and a higher center of gravity , as well as being more prone to operational failure . Economics also appears to be a major factor in rates of ROPS adoption . Farms with low value of sales , part - time operations , and smaller acreage are less likely to employ ROPS - equipped tractors than farms with high value of sales , full - time operations , and larger acreage . Additionally , farms that use more hired labor over non-hired labor ( family ) are found to have fewer fatal tractor overturns . Overall , farms that are more economically viable are more likely to install ROPS on tractors than smaller , lower - income farms . ROPS adoption ( edit ) Tractor rollover deaths have been identified as a public health problem since the 1920s . Research efforts from several countries towards the development of engineering controls to reduce injury from rollover persisted for several decades before any legislation took place . In 1959 , Sweden became the first country to enact ROPS legislation , requiring all newly manufactured tractors in the country to have ROPS installed . This requirement was expanded in 1965 , requiring all tractors in Sweden , regardless of manufacture date , to have ROPS installed if it was operated by an employee and not the actual owner . Similar legislation requiring ROPS installation has been enacted in Australia , Germany , and Denmark . In the United States , standards for ROPS design and utilization for tractors were first developed in 1967 by the American Society for Agricultural and Biological Engineers . ROPS legislation was passed in 1975 , with OSHA requiring that all tractors manufactured from 25 October 1976 onwards be equipped with ROPS . In 1985 , the development of a new voluntary safety standard by the American Society of Agricultural and Biological Engineers ( S318. 10 ) encouraged an initiative by American tractor manufacturers to equip new tractors over 20 horsepower with ROPS . Agricultural health and safety researchers have observed that increases in ROPS protected tractors in the United States can largely be tied to attrition ( older tractors without ROPS being replaced with newer tractors with ROPS ) vs. installation of ROPS . Additional studies have indicated the need to promote and facilitate ROPS installation on older tractors , as many farmers are unwilling to replace their older tractors . Overall , these studies demonstrate that relying on the eventual replacement of ROPS is not an expeditious solution to tractor overturn deaths and will result in the death of many U.S. tractor operators over the next few decades . Barriers to ROPS installation in the United States ( edit ) Over the past few decades , quantitative and qualitative research studies have attempted to identify farmers ' potential barriers to ROPS adoption . Cost , time to find and install ROPS parts , and dismissal of personal risk have all been prominently identified barriers to ROPS adoption . Research also shows that knowledge of tractor overturn risks and the benefits of ROPS installation do not appear to stimulate farmer interest in installing ROPS . Equipment dealers have also cited a number of barriers , such as a perceived lack of farmer interest , injury liability , difficulty recovering expenses and a lack of understanding amongst dealers regarding the magnitude of the overturn fatality problem , which negatively impacts dealers ' interest in ROPS installation . Programs to increase ROPS installation in the U.S. ( edit ) Several strategies have been employed to address these barriers and motivate farmers to install ROPS . In 1985 , equipment manufacturers launched a promotional campaign to encourage ROPS installation activities , although industry representatives state the campaign did not stimulate considerable interest in ROPS installation in the farm community . Education has also been largely employed by extension agents and agricultural health and safety educators as a means for increasing ROPS installations , although evaluations of educational interventions indicate they do not markedly decrease agricultural worker injury rates or increase ROPS installation activity . However , in Kentucky , a community awareness campaign did appear to increase interest in ROPS installation . Various state farm bureaus ( VA , NC , and IL ) have also offered financial incentives for members to install ROPS , while an online ROPS Inventory Site called the KY ROPS Guide , was developed to assist farmers searching for ROPS . In 2006 , the New York ROPS Rebate Program was launched in an effort to increase access to ROPS among New York tractor operators ; this addressed the Northeastern United States ' consistently lower rates of ROPS usage than other regions of the United States . The program has since expanded to seven states including NY , PA , VT , NH , WI , MA , and MN . These programs incorporate a number of components that build on prior ROPS research . These include targeted promotions , rebates for 70 % of the cost to install ROPS ( with varying caps on farmers out of pocket expense ) and toll - free ROPS hotline assistance with the ROPS purchase and ordering process . Rebate funding is provided via state funding resources or private industry / fundraising campaigns . Programs have increased farmer interest in ROPS installation with an average of 1,200 calls annually to the ROPS hotline and farmers are generally satisfied with these services ( 99 % of program participants would recommend the program to other farmers ) . Programs have also documented the prevention of injury and death for farmers who have participated in these installation programs . Current efforts to increase ROPS adoption in the United States ( edit ) National tractor Safety Coalition ( NTSC ) ( edit ) In an effort to build on the momentum of prior ROPS interventional efforts to create a national ROPS installation solution , a number of research , government and industry groups organized a two - day ' Whole - System - in - the - Room ' workshop in Chicago , IL on May 2014 . The purpose of the meeting was to outline a national strategy for ROPS installation that all stakeholders could agree on and to engage multiple industry groups in strategy implementation efforts . Close to 50 organizations were represented at the meeting and included representatives from the following industry groups : manufacturers and dealers , agricultural organizations , health and safety organizations , financial and insurance groups , government organizations , researchers , private corporations , media , farmers / farm safety advocates . By the end of the meeting , the National Tractor Safety Coalition was officially organized with the mission `` to prevent tractor - related injuries and deaths in U.S. agriculture by developing and implementing collaborative , stakeholder - driven , evidence - based solutions . '' A detailed list of common goals are featured in the NIOSH Science Blog `` The National Tractor Safety Coalition : Taking a new systems - approach to a well - known problem . '' Currently the Coalition includes 87 members from a number of agricultural or health related organizations . These organizations include : NIOSH , American Farm Bureau Federation , Farm Foundation , and several Universities , Extension agencies , NIOSH Agricultural Safety and Health Centers , State Departments of Health , and insurance companies , among others . Some members serve on the NTSC Steering Committee , which meets on a monthly basis and provide guidance on the overarching initiative to expand ROPS installation programs nationally while others provide assistance on various aspects of national ROPS implementation efforts , such as promotions , testimonials , congressional outreach or networking . A manufacturing and technology task force has also been assembled , and provides guidance to the group on technical issues . National ROPS Rebate Program ( edit ) NTSC activities are focused on building the necessary structure and support for a National ROPS Rebate Program that will mirror the existing ROPS programs in NY , VT , PA , NH , MA , WI , and MN . Additional information on the NRRP can be found at www.ROPSR4U.com . Given the NTSC 's broad mission to address tractor - related deaths , the group seeks to tackle issues such as run - overs or implement entanglements once a National ROPS Rebate Program has been sustainably established .

The story , written by Jim Starlin and pencilled by George Pérez and Ron Lim , was first serialized as a six - issue limited series from July to December 1991 . As the main piece of a crossover event , some plot elements were featured in tie - in issues of other Marvel publications . Since its initial publication , the series has been reprinted in various formats and editions . The roots of the series date to concepts developed in comics Starlin wrote and drew for Marvel in the 1970s , primarily Thanos and the Infinity Gems . Starlin returned to Marvel in 1990 as the writer for Silver Surfer volume 3 beginning with issue # 34 , assisted by Lim on pencils . Their storyline developed through the next sixteen issues and the two - issue spin - off limited series Thanos Quest before concluding in The Infinity Gauntlet . Fan - favorite artist Pérez drew the first four issues before his busy schedule and unhappiness with the story led to him being replaced by Lim . At the start of The Infinity Gauntlet , the alien nihilist Thanos has collected the six Infinity Gems and attached them to his gauntlet . With their combined power , he becomes like a god and sets out to win the affection of Mistress Death , the living embodiment of death in the Marvel Universe . When Thanos uses his powers to kill half of the living beings in the universe , Adam Warlock leads Earth 's remaining heroes against him . After the Infinity Gauntlet is stolen by Thanos ' villainous granddaughter Nebula , Thanos aids the remaining heroes in defeating her . Warlock ultimately obtains the Infinity Gauntlet and uses its power to undo the death and destruction caused by Thanos . The series was a top seller for Marvel during publication and was followed by two immediate sequels , The Infinity War ( 1992 ) and The Infinity Crusade ( 1993 ) . The story 's events continued to be referenced in - story by comics for decades . The Infinity Gauntlet remained popular among fans , warranting multiple reprint editions and merchandise . Themes and plot elements have been repeatedly adapted into video games , animated cartoons , and film .

He developed the character as a villain in Captain Marvel , a monthly comic he wrote and penciled for Marvel Comics through July 1974 . This storyline became known as the `` First Thanos War '' . Starlin left Captain Marvel shortly after finishing the Thanos story . In 1975 , Starlin began writing and illustrating Strange Tales , where he took over the story of Adam Warlock and made significant changes to the character and developed the concept of the Infinity Gems . He reintroduced Thanos first as an ally , then as an opponent of the hero in a storyline known as the `` Second Thanos War '' that ran until 1977 . Because of their close publications dates , the two Thanos Wars are sometimes considered to be one storyline . Both are considered `` cosmic '' stories and led to Starlin being known as a `` cosmic '' writer . Starlin quit his regular work for Marvel after concluding the Second Thanos War , but occasionally returned for short projects like The Death of Captain Marvel graphic novel and creator - owned work such as the cosmic - themed Dreadstar through the 1980s . He also did high - profile work for DC Comics , such as Batman and Cosmic Odyssey . In a 1990 interview , Starlin described himself as the only writer who had been allowed to `` play '' with Thanos , although other writers had scripted some tie - in chapters of the First Thanos War . George Pérez is a popular artist known for drawing comics that feature large casts . He came to prominence in the 1970s while working on Marvel 's The Avengers before leaving the company to work for DC on comics such as New Teen Titans , Crisis on Infinite Earths , and Wonder Woman . In 1984 , Pérez entered into an exclusive contract with DC , which was later extended an additional year . Development ( edit ) Series writer Jim Starlin in 2008 In 1988 , Steve Englehart was writing Silver Surfer and one of his storylines involved the Infinity Gems and Mistress Death . He asked to do a follow - up story where Mistress Death uses Thanos to get revenge on her enemies , but editor - in - chief Tom DeFalco did not know who Thanos was . After the character was explained to him , DeFalco liked the idea so much he wanted to save it for a big summer crossover instead . At the time , he indicated he wanted to format it like `` The Evolutionary War '' , a 1988 crossover that was spread across the annuals of several continuing series instead of being contained in a limited series . Because of his ties to the character , Starlin was invited back to Marvel to write the story . Inspired by the work he had recently read from Wilhelm Reich , Carlos Castaneda , and Roger Zelazny , Starlin wanted to purposely add multiple layers to his characters instead of letting them be one - dimensional . He started writing with the expectation that this would be the last Thanos story `` at least for a while '' and was midway through the story before deciding to make Thanos an antihero . He began writing Silver Surfer with # 34 , cover dated February 1990 . To organize various plot and character points , Starlin made notes on 3 - by - 5 cards and pinned them to a large piece of plywood hung on his wall . His first four issues reintroduced Thanos and was seen as the first act of the new Thanos storyline . Initially , Starlin and editor Craig Anderson planned for the story to remain contained within the pages of Silver Surfer . However , Marvel had recently been purchased and the new owners mandated that all intellectual property be exploited to maximum potential . To capitalize on the excitement surrounding Thanos ' return , the start of the second act was spun off into the two - issue limited series Thanos Quest , released in September - October 1990 . The plot then continued in Silver Surfer beginning with # 44 . In Silver Surfer # 46 , Starlin reintroduced Adam Warlock and his supporting cast . He included these characters because the editors told him a different writer wanted to use them , and they would let him unless Starlin wanted to use them first . Starlin was not impressed by the other writer 's work , so he wrote Warlock into his Silver Surfer story . Again , Starlin and Anderson planned to conclude the story in the pages of Silver Surfer , but the sales of Thanos Quest were high enough to warrant another spin - off . After Silver Surfer # 50 , the plot moved to The Infinity Gauntlet . Because of the time required to write the double - length issues of the limited series and coordinate tie - ins , Starlin had to leave the Silver Surfer series at # 52 . The editorial staff did not oppose Starlin 's plans to kill major characters , which he believes was partly because Anderson did not share many of the details with his peers . They did , however , limit which of `` their '' characters could have roles in the story . For example , X-Men editor Bob Harras only allowed Cyclops and Wolverine to appear . The rest of the X-Men cast were shown to have died off - panel or were otherwise omitted . This hesitancy was due in part to the relative newness of summer crossover events . Artists George Pérez ( left , taken 2012 ) and Ron Lim ( right , taken 2013 ) Early in 1990 , Marvel writer / artist Jim Valentino learned Pérez 's contract with DC Comics was going to lapse in August . He contacted Pérez by phone to see if he would ink a cover to Guardians of the Galaxy , a comic Valentino was currently writing and penciling . Pérez agreed , and Valentino told Anderson , who was his editor as well . Anderson passed the information to Starlin , who called Pérez and asked him to pencil The Infinity Gauntlet . After working out the terms with Starlin and Anderson , Pérez agreed to the job . In a 1991 interview , Pérez speculated that he was asked because Silver Surfer and Thanos Quest penciller Ron Lim was too busy . Although Pérez had been a writer as well as an artist at DC , he agreed to work from full scripts on The Infinity Gauntlet because he was not familiar with the current state of Marvel 's characters . From the start , Pérez found this to be `` a little aggravating , unnerving '' because of the limits it placed on him . Starlin gave Pérez a suggested layout with each script to use as a reference , but Pérez ignored them with Starlin 's blessing . He exercised this freedom by giving some scenes more space , even moving some scenes to different pages . Early in the collaboration , he asked Starlin to increase the number of characters appearing in the story so his return to Marvel would `` knock fans ' socks off '' . Before he had finished the interior art for the first issue , Pérez completed the pencils for the covers of the first four issues so they could be used as promotional material . However , some characters , like Thor and Quasar , were wearing outdated costumes on the cover of issue three and had to be redrawn , which frustrated Pérez . Starlin , who wrote the scripts months in advance , also had to make minor adjustments to account for changes in these characters and the Hulk . During production , Pérez was also pencilling War of the Gods for DC Comics , a Wonder Woman miniseries that he described as a `` highly stressful '' project . When he began to fall behind schedule on both projects , he wanted to quit War of the Gods but was contractually bound to complete it . Partly because of this stress and partly because he had become used to writing as well as drawing , he became overly critical of Starlin 's scripts for The Infinity Gauntlet . Specifically , he felt Starlin 's story could be told in fewer pages . His lack of enthusiasm caused him to work slower , and he began to fall further behind schedule . In a 1994 interview , Starlin claimed that Pérez was acting at the time as well , and that it was a bigger contributor to the scheduling problems than the comic workload . When it became clear Pérez would not be able to meet the deadline for the fourth issue , DeFalco asked regular Silver Surfer penciler Ron Lim to complete issue # 4 . DeFalco suggested to Pérez that he let Lim finish the rest of the series , and Pérez agreed . Pérez understood the decision , and later said he felt that Lim should have been the artist from the beginning . He inked Lim 's covers for the remainder of the series to show he bore no ill will to the change . Although Marvel 's management had feared sales would fall with Pérez 's departure , sales rose with each issue Lim penciled . To replace Pérez , Lim had to leave his regular work on the monthly Captain America title . He cites Pérez as an influence and found it `` nerve - wracking '' to supplant him . Furthermore , the large cast made it the most challenging book he had done at that point in his career . Still , he said it was `` fun '' to work on the design aspect of The Infinity Gauntlet . When he saw sales figures for The Infinity Gauntlet , Pérez realized that by leaving the series he probably lost `` tens of thousands of dollars '' in royalty payments . However , he was glad he left when he learned a sequel was in development . Like Starlin , Pérez had begun the project believing it would be the last Thanos story , but management asked Starlin to write a sequel midway through The Infinity Gauntlet . At that point , Starlin had already conceived follow up concepts and knew it would be a trilogy . Publication ( edit ) Marvel 's marketing department `` mega-hyped '' the event in the months leading up to its release according to journalist Sean Howe . One aspect of the promotion was sending direct market retailers a kit that included a letter explaining details of the series , a sign to put by their cash register , and a poster 18 inches wide by 36 inches tall . Marvel 's promotional magazine Marvel Age featured a cover story on Thanos Quest and a Starlin interview in issue 91 ( August 1990 ) , followed by a 7 - page preview of The Infinity Gauntlet # 1 in Marvel Age # 99 ( April 1991 ) . The limited series was the cover feature on Comics Interview # 94 in March 1991 , which included an 8 - page interview with Pérez , and Starlin was interviewed about the series in Comics Scene # 19 in June 1991 . Marvel initially planned to release a new issue every two weeks , but deadline problems caused it to be released monthly . Issues had cover dates between July and December 1991 . Each one was available in both comic specialty stores and newsstand outlets , which included supermarkets and department stores . Although the cover artwork was identical , the edition sold in comic stores featured additional artwork celebrating Marvel 's 30th anniversary in place of the barcode found on the newsstand edition . Each issue was 48 pages and cover priced at $2.50 at a time when the average Marvel comic was $1.00 and 24 pages . Tie - ins ( edit ) Sleepwalker # 7 was a tie - in issue to Infinity Gauntlet , indicated by the triangle icon in the top right corner . The cover art is by Bret Blevins . To emphasize the connected nature of Marvel 's comic books , some ongoing series starring characters seen in The Infinity Gauntlet had contemporary issues that showed the main plot from a different point of view or explored consequences of certain events . These issues featured a triangle in the top right corner of their covers with the text `` An Infinity Gauntlet Crossover '' . These tie - in issues did not impact the plot of the limited series and could be skipped by readers without creating plot holes . Doctor Strange # 36 was set after the events of the crossover and featured a triangle with the text `` An Infinity Gauntlet Epilogue '' . Unlike other crossovers such as Secret Wars , Crisis on Infinite Earths or Armageddon 2001 ( the competing 1991 crossover from DC Comics ) which featured tie - ins from a large majority of their publisher 's comics , The Infinity Gauntlet only had tie - ins from titles that were obviously connected to the event or from series which needed a boost in sales . According to Pérez , Marvel 's stance toward the tie - ins for its low - selling titles was `` do it or else . '' Starlin remained hands - off when the tie - ins were plotted . He let interested writers look at his plans and choose for themselves which elements they wanted to use . He felt this was the best way to do it since he was unfamiliar with the current state of many of the characters , and had never even heard of Sleepwalker before .

The suggested retail price was $19.95 , five dollars more than the total retail cost of the individual issues it contained . In June 2006 , Marvel issued a second softcover collected edition to coincide with Keith Giffen and Andrea Di Vito 's Annihilation , another cosmic - level crossover starring Thanos and the Silver Surfer . This edition used the cover art from issue # 1 and had a trade dress matching the first edition collections of The Infinity War and The Infinity Crusade which were released shortly thereafter . The month of release , it sold approximately 2,500 copies and was the 33rd best selling comic collection according to Diamond Distribution . Marvel also released a Silver Surfer collection subtitled `` The Rebirth of Thanos '' in 2006 that included four of the lead - in issues of Silver Surfer and both issues of Thanos Quest . A hardcover edition was released in July 2010 as the 46th entry in the Marvel Premiere Classic line . Like other volumes in this line , it was available with two covers . The standard cover featured a cutout of Thanos from the cover of issue # 4 on a black matte background with the title in metallic red ink . The variant cover , available only to comic specialty stores , featured the cover art for issue # 1 reduced 50 % against a black and red background . The variant edition identifies itself as # 46 on its spine . In 2011 , a third edition softcover was released . The first printing reused the artwork from the standard cover of the Premiere Classic edition . Later printings reverted to the cover of issue # 1 . Sales of the collection rose after Thanos appeared in a post-credits scene of the 2012 film The Avengers . In July 2014 , Marvel released a 1,248 page omnibus edition of The Infinity Gauntlet . In addition to the limited series , the hardcover also included the lead - up issues of Silver Surfer , Thanos Quest , and the marketed tie - ins . It also included additional issues of Incredible Hulk , Quasar , Silver Surfer , and Spider - Man that had not been advertised as tie - ins , but were connected to the story . Comic book stores and the book market both offered a regular edition featuring the cover to The Infinity Gauntlet # 1 , but comic shops could also order a variant edition with cover art by Starlin . The first issue of The Infinity Gauntlet was included in the initial wave of Marvel 's `` True Believers '' line in April 2015 . Consisting solely of reprints offered at a discount price , comic books in this line are meant to introduce newer readers to the most popular titles in Marvel 's history . A new printing was paired with a `` True Believers '' reprint of Silver Surfer # 34 in April 2018 . In March 2018 , Marvel released an Infinity Gauntlet slipcase set of 12 hardcover books . Material began with Infinity Gauntlet Prologue and included all three Infinity crossovers , their tie - ins , intervening material , and a 528 - page `` companion '' hardcover . Characters ( edit ) Thanos is a powerful alien being . He is a nihilist in love with Mistress Death , but she only speaks to him through her servants because he is not worthy of her attention . Prior to The Infinity Gauntlet , Thanos has undertaken several quests for power in order to win her affection . Mistress Death is the physical embodiment of death in the Marvel Universe . She wears a purple robe revealing only her face and hands , which appear either as a beautiful woman or a skeleton . She is one of several cosmic entities in the universe . Adam Warlock is a stoic hero who stopped Thanos during the Second Thanos War . During the encounter , he was trapped inside the soul gem , where he enjoyed a peaceful existence on Soul World . The Silver Surfer is a humanoid alien who served the cosmic entity Galactus by finding inhabited planets for him to consume . Having rebelled against Galactus and gained his freedom , the Silver Surfer now uses the power Galactus gave him to fight injustice and atone for his participation in genocide . Doctor Strange is one of Earth 's superheroes . He uses magic spells to battle opponents and is able to open portals to move people from one location to another quickly . Nebula is the captain of a band of space pirates . She claims to be Thanos ' granddaughter and commands his old spaceship . Mephisto is a literal devil , ruler of Marvel 's version of Hell , and a longtime foe of the Silver Surfer . He acts like a sycophant to Thanos , but he is actually manipulating Thanos toward defeat . Eternity is the living embodiment of the universe . Unless someone is overriding him with an Infinity Gem , he regulates the aspects of the universe controlled by the gems . The Living Tribunal is an entity with authority over Eternity and the Infinity Gems . He is tasked by an even higher power with overseeing and maintaining balance . Synopsis ( edit ) Lead up ( edit ) When the number of living things in the universe becomes greater than the number who have died , Mistress Death tasks Thanos with correcting the imbalance by killing half of the universe . The Silver Surfer learns of Thanos ' goal and opposes him , so Thanos fakes his own death to proceed without interference . While doing research in Death 's realm for the most efficient way to fulfill his task , Thanos discovers that the six Infinity Gems , powerful objects he had previously used as weapons , can grant their owner more power than he had understood before . Each gem has control over one facet of the universe - Space , Time , Reality , Mind , Soul , and Power . He journeys around the universe collecting them , adding them to his left gauntlet . Once assembled , he visits Death hoping she will now talk to him as an equal . Instead , she continues to speak to him through an intermediary because he is now her superior . The Silver Surfer learns Thanos is still alive and confronts him . In a display of his new power , Thanos traps the Silver Surfer 's soul inside the soul gem . On Soul World , the Silver Surfer meets Adam Warlock and tells him what Thanos has done . Warlock uses his powers to return the Silver Surfer to his body and promises to help defeat Thanos . The Silver Surfer travels to Earth to warn the Avengers and other superheroes about Thanos . Meanwhile , Mephisto senses the power of the Infinity Gauntlet and offers to teach Thanos how to use his new powers . Secretly , Mephisto is waiting for an opportunity to steal it for himself . Plot ( edit ) Angry that Mistress Death is still rejecting him , Thanos offers her tokens of affection . After creating a large shrine to Mistress Death , he traps burn victim Nebula in a painful state on the verge of death , which he believes to be a beautiful piece of art . When these offers are ineffective , Thanos vents his anger in a wave of force that destroys nearby stars . It has dissipated by the time it reaches Earth but still causes widespread disasters . Mephisto suggests Mistress Death is unhappy because Thanos has not yet completed his task , and Thanos causes half of the living things in the universe to vanish . Meanwhile , the Silver Surfer warns Doctor Strange about Thanos and encourages him to call for other heroes . The sudden disappearance of half the population prompts individuals across the universe to seek the source , including cosmic entities Galactus and Epoch . Adam Warlock leaves Soul World and enters a recently dead human body on Earth , reviving and altering it to match his former appearance . He appears before Doctor Strange and claims that Thanos can only be defeated if Earth 's remaining heroes unite under his command . While Warlock 's team of heroes prepares to attack Thanos , Warlock meets with a group of cosmic entities who have been gathered by Galactus and Epoch . They also oppose Thanos because they believe him unworthy of his power . At the gathering , Eternity appeals to the Living Tribunal to intervene and stop Thanos . When the Living Tribunal declines , it and Eternity leave the gathering . The remaining entities agree to attack Thanos upon Warlock 's command . As Doctor Strange opens a portal for Earth 's heroes to attack Thanos ' shrine , Warlock and the Silver Surfer position themselves one light year away to observe . When Thanos sees the heroes coming , he uses the Infinity Gauntlet to freeze time . As he is about to destroy them , Mephisto convinces him to limit his own power and let them attack as a way to prove his bravery and skill to Mistress Death . Although he stops sensory input from the gems and some of the heroes ' attacks surprise him , Thanos easily kills them . As Thanos raises his hand to strike the last survivor , Warlock sends the Silver Surfer racing to remove the Infinity Gauntlet . Thanos evades him , but the near - loss leads him to restore sensory input from the gems . Two similar images of Thanos taken from The Infinity Gauntlet . The image on the left , showing him with Mephisto , was drawn by George Perez . The image on the right , where Thanos confronts Nebula , was drawn by Ron Lim . Management was unsure of the artistic change at the time , and some critics found the different styles jarring . The cosmic entities attack Thanos as a group . During the battle , Mephisto and Mistress Death also attack him . Their betrayal infuriates Thanos , who traps all the entities in stasis and changes the shrine to feature himself instead of Mistress Death . Believing he has defeated all of his enemies , he separates his consciousness from his body and assumes an astral form . Nebula uses this opportunity to steal the Infinity Gauntlet , which was left behind on Thanos ' physical form . She restores herself to a healthy state and banishes Thanos to drift through interstellar space , but he is brought to Earth through one of Doctor Stranges ' portals at Warlock 's request . Privately , Warlock tells Thanos that through his bond with the soul gem , he was able to examine Thanos ' soul from Soul World while Thanos was in control of the gem . He explains that he knew Thanos would lose the Infinity Gauntlet because , at his core , Thanos felt himself unworthy of the power . Overwhelmed by this revelation , Thanos agrees to help Warlock , Doctor Strange , and the Silver Surfer oppose Nebula . Teleporting back to the shrine , Thanos distracts Nebula while Warlock returns to Soul World and uses his connection to the gem to create disharmony between the other gems . This causes Nebula pain , and she removes the gauntlet . Warlock leaves Soul World and claims the gauntlet for himself . Nebula is taken into custody and will be tried for crimes she committed as a pirate . Preferring death to imprisonment , Thanos appears to die in a suicide bomb blast . The other heroes are unhappy Warlock is keeping the Infinity Gauntlet , but he returns them to Earth . He travels 60 days into the future to visit an unnamed planet where Thanos is living as a farmer . He tells Warlock he has given up his quest for power and plans to lead a quiet , introspective life . Epilogue ( edit ) Strange visits Warlock to see how he is adjusting to his new powers . Warlock reveals his plan to remove selfish ambition and competitiveness from the universe , believing this will end war and strife . This course of action runs counter to Strange 's values , so he casts a spell causing the soul stone to show Warlock how the lack of ambition and competitiveness would reduce sentient beings into simple animals . Warlock changes his mind and promises to consider his actions more carefully . Eternity summons the Living Tribunal to determine if Warlock is worthy of the Infinity Gauntlet . When he is judged mentally unfit for power over the universe , he agrees to give five of the gems to individuals he determines to be best suited to protect them . Shortly thereafter , the Living Tribunal decrees that the gems can no longer be used together . Reception ( edit ) At release ( edit ) The Infinity Gauntlet was an instant success and became one of the most influential storylines in comics from the 1990s . Both of the nationwide comic distributors at the time ( Diamond Distribution and Capital City Distribution ) reported that each issue was one of their top ten sellers for the month of its release . When Capital City released their top 100 best selling single issues of 1991 , Infinity Gauntlet issues fell between the 42nd and 64th positions . Aside from the first issue of The Punisher War Zone , all of the higher ranked entries were issues of Spider - Man , Robin II , or the X-Men franchise . Wizard , a comic magazine known for embracing speculation in the comic market , listed The Infinity Gauntlet # 1 as the ninth `` Hottest Book '' in September 1991 , and two lead - in issues of Silver Surfer were ranked six and ten . The first issue 's price rose above its $2.50 cover price in the aftermarket , plateauing around $9 or $10 in late 1992 . The debut issue of the follow - up series , Warlock and the Infinity Watch , was the top recommendation from Wizard for December 1991 . It led directly into the first sequel , The Infinity War , which began in June 1992 . The next sequel , The Infinity Crusade , began in June 1993 . The tie - ins to The Infinity Gauntlet also sold well , leading the editors who had put limits on characters appearing in The Infinity Gauntlet to request their books tie in to its sequels . Although both sequels sold well , they were viewed by critics like Wizard 's Pat McCallum as being motivated by sales rather than storytelling because of their excessive tie - ins and slow narratives . In later years ( edit ) Toward the end of the decade , interest in The Infinity Gauntlet began to fade . Its sequels were poorly received by fans , and Warlock and the Infinity Watch was canceled in 1995 . That year , Marvel moved the Infinity Gems from their main continuity to an alternate universe called the Ultraverse , a property Marvel acquired when it bought Malibu Comics . The Ultraverse comics were then canceled in 1996 . By 1998 , Wizard was no longer listing Infinity Gauntlet in its monthly price guide . The first edition of the paperback collection saw its last printing in 1999 . The iconography of the gauntlet remained popular , however . When Marvel partnered with fellow Disney subsidiary ESPN to create promotional images for the 2010 -- 11 NBA season , the October 22 , 2010 issue of ESPN : The Magazine included an advertisement showing Kobe Bryant wearing the gauntlet . When IGN released an unranked list of the all - time best comic book events in 2011 , The Infinity Gauntlet was included and was noted for being `` a template on which all future cosmic events were based '' . Its lasting appeal is often attributed to Pérez 's artwork and Starlin 's unusual treatment of classic heroes . Since Thanos made a cameo appearance in the 2012 film The Avengers , there has been renewed interest in The Infinity Gauntlet that was further heightened in October 2014 when the title of the third and fourth Avengers films were revealed to be Infinity War - Part I and Infinity War - Part II . As the 2018 film Avengers : Infinity War neared release , several comic news websites produced articles explaining the storyline and speculating on which elements would be included in the adaptation . These articles often describe the story with adjectives such as `` epic '' , `` classic '' , and `` iconic '' . Not all of the attention was positive . In a 2013 series of reviews of cosmic Marvel storylines for Multiversity Comics , Drew Bradley felt that the story was only great if read in its entirety . At that time , the collected edition of act one was out of print , and most of act two had not been reprinted in any form . He felt the story would not live up to its hype if readers skipped the lead - in material . Mark Ginocchio enumerated ten reasons he felts the series was overrated on the pop culture website What Culture . He said the transition from Pérez to Lim was jarring for a reader , describing it as `` neither seamless nor unnoticeable '' . He also regretted that The Infinity Gauntlet overshadows Starlin 's earlier Thanos stories , which Ginocchio felt were superior . Writing for Digital Spy , Hugh Armitage complained that the comic lacked real consequences , calling it `` essentially ( ... ) a really bizarre love story '' . Legacy in Comics ( edit ) Aside from its immediate spin - off and sequels , the events of The Infinity Gauntlet have impacted storylines in later comics , including Thanos in 2003 , Avengers vol 4 in 2011 , and Secret Wars in 2016 . Several of these later stories have downplayed the power of the gauntlet , often showing someone possessing it being beaten by a more powerful opponent . The storyline from The Infinity Gauntlet has been revisited by other comic books in the years since its release . The series What If ... ? , which explores alternate outcomes to important events in the Marvel Universe , featured several issues in which different characters stole the gauntlet from Thanos or obtained it in another fashion . Beginning in August 2010 , writer Brian Clevinger and artist Brian Churillathe retold the story for a younger audience in the four - issue limited series Avengers and the Infinity Gauntlet as part of the Marvel Adventures imprint . He used the basic framework of the story , but purposefully wrote it in a way that did not invite comparisons to the original , with which he did not believe he could compete . During the 2015 crossover Secret Wars , a five - issue limited series by Gerry Dugan and Dustin Weaver reused the title and featured similar elements . Merchandise ( edit ) During initial publication , Tenacity Incorporated offered a licensed black T - shirt featuring cover artwork from the series . It was available exclusively through ads placed in Marvel comics . The front side had the cover from issue four , and the back had the cover from issue three . Although no contemporary toys were created for the series , several Thanos action figures have been created in the years since that include the Infinity Gauntlet either as an accessory or as part of the sculpt , such as the 12 inch Marvel Select toy and the 2 inch Super Hero Squad toy . In 2011 , a Marvel Universe toyline two - pack included Thanos , Warlock , an Infinity Gauntlet accessory for Warlock , and a reprint of The Infinity Gauntlet # 3 . Some toy sets have incorporated the series logo on their packaging , such as the 2009 Minimate set with Thanos , Warlock , Mephisto , and Drax the Destroyer or the San Diego Comic Con exclusive set with Marvel Universe editions of Thanos , Mistress Death , Eros , Nebula , and a wearable Infinity Gauntlet made of foam . A variety of licensed merchandise shaped the like Infinity Gauntlet has been created as well , including a coin bank and earrings from Think Geek , a bottle opener from Diamond Select Toys , a coffee mug from Entertainment Earth , and an oven mitt from Loot Crate . Adaptations ( edit ) Capcom adapted the storyline into two video games shortly after its release . The first , Marvel Super Heroes , was released as an arcade game in 1995 before being ported to Sega Saturn and PlayStation in 1997 . The second , Marvel Super Heroes In War of the Gems , was released in 1996 for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System . After the animated television series The Super Hero Squad Show introduced an `` Infinity Sword '' in its first season , its second season ( 2010 - 2011 ) loosely adapted The Infinity Gauntlet . Griptonite Games released a tie - in video game , Marvel Super Hero Squad : The Infinity Gauntlet , for several platforms in 2010 . In October 2011 , WizKids announced they would adapt The Infinity Gauntlet into an organized play tournament for their collectible miniatures game Heroclix in 2012 . Vendors who wanted to participate qualified for free game kits by purchasing a minimum amount of new Heroclix booster packs . It began in January and a new round was held once a month through August . At each round , players received a special game piece for participating and winners received limited edition pieces based on characters from the storyline . The eight participation pieces could be combined to create Thanos ' shrine to Death and featured all of the gems . At the time of release , it was the largest Heroclix tournament . In 2014 , the early episodes of the second season of the animated cartoon Avengers Assemble adapted the storyline . It also included elements from the Thanos - centric 2013 crossover comic series Infinity written by Jonathan Hickman and penciled by Jim Cheung , Jerome Opeña , and Dustin Weaver , such as Thanos ' allies , the Black Order . Capcom released Marvel vs. Capcom : Infinite for PlayStation 4 , Xbox One , and Microsoft Windows in September 2017 . While it features elements from the series , it is not a direct adaptation . To coincide with the game 's release , Capcom held a global tournament series called `` Battle for the Stones '' . The winner of the tournament received a cash prize and a light - up Infinity Gauntlet trophy . An Infinity Gauntlet prop with gems was included in the 2011 film Thor as an Easter egg for fans before Marvel Studios decided the Avengers films would adapt The Infinity Gauntlet . A post-credits scene in Avengers : Age of Ultron ( 2015 ) showed Thanos with a gauntlet without gems , and the one from Thor was stated to have been a fake in Thor : Ragnarok ( 2017 ) . The 2018 film Avengers : Infinity War draws inspiration from The Infinity Gauntlet and depicts Thanos collecting the Infinity Gems , referred to in the Marvel Cinematic Universe as the Infinity Stones . Notes ( edit ) Jump up ^ Marvel was purchased by Ronald Perelman 's company MacAndrews & Forbes in 1989 . Jump up ^ Although Marvel characters had been meeting and interacting for years , these stories were typically contained within one character 's comic book , annuals , or a limited series . These rarely had a direct impact on the schedule or plot of other monthly comic books . In 1985 , Secret Wars II was the first limited series from Marvel that featured crossovers from regular monthly series . Although the frequency of inter-title crossovers increased after that , The Infinity Gauntlet was the second time the Secret Wars II format had been used . Jump up ^ Some comics are created with more collaboration between writers and artists than others . A style like the Marvel Method gives the artist more control and input into a story . A full script places more limits on the choices an artist can make . Jump up ^ Most comic specialty stores did not have barcode readers at the time , and this minor difference made it easy for publishers to distinguish the two editions . Newsstands could return unsold copies for credit , but specialty stores could not . Jump up ^ Because there are numerous price guides for comics and they do not always agree , a precise date and value for the plateau can not be determined . Jump up ^ The Thanos in this two - pack is a repaint of a previous release that included an Infinity Gauntlet as well . References ( edit ) ^ Jump up to : Milgrom , Al ( 2002 ) . Introduction .
